Child carrying mechanism and related child carrier

A child carrying mechanism comprising:

• a carrying frame;
• a surrounding frame disposed above the carrying frame and located at a position corresponding to the carrying frame, the surrounding frame being switchable between an unfolded state and a folded state, wherein the surrounding frame comprises a joint device, a handle, a first frame component and a second frame component, the handle, the first frame component and the second frame component are disposed on the joint device and pivotable relative to one another by the joint device, the joint device locks the handle when the surrounding frame is in the unfolded state, and the first frame component drives the joint device to unlock the handle for allowing the handle to pivotally fold together with the first frame component relative to the second frame component when the first frame component is pivotally folded relative to the second frame component;
• and
• a supporting component connected between the surrounding frame and the carrying frame,
• wherein the joint device comprises a first joint component, a second joint component, a third joint component and a second locking component, the first joint component, the second joint component and the third joint component are pivotable relative to one another, a second locked portion is formed on one of the first joint component and the third joint component and for cooperating with the second locking component, the second locking component is movably disposed on another one of the first joint component and the third joint component, the second locking component is switchable between a second locking position and a second unlocking position, the second locking component engages with the second locked portion when the second locking component is located at the second locking position, the second locking component disengages from the second locked portion when the second locking component is located at the second unlocking position, the second joint component and the second locking component are movably linked to each other, the handle is connected to the third joint component, the second frame component is connected to the first joint component, and the first frame component is connected to the second joint component.

A child carrier comprising a carrier body, and a child carrying mechanism installed on the carrier body, the child carrying mechanism comprising:

• a carrying frame;
• a surrounding frame disposed above the carrying frame and located at a position corresponding to the carrying frame, the surrounding frame being switchable between an unfolded state and a folded state;
• and
• a supporting component connected between the surrounding frame and the carrying frame, a lower end of the supporting component is detachably installed on the carrying frame, and an upper end of the supporting component is pivotable relative to the surrounding frame;
• and
• a first locking component, the first locking component being movably disposed on the surrounding frame and for locking the surrounding frame in the unfolded state, the supporting component driving the first locking component to unlock the surrounding frame for allowing the surrounding frame to switch from the unfolded state to the folded state when the supporting component is pivoted relative to the surrounding frame.
