[0033] See also Figure 1 According to one embodiment, a crib 100 includes a bed 10, a sunshade 20, and a support device 30. The sunshade 20 is mounted on the bed 10 to prevent ambient light from directly shining on the child and interfering with their sleep. The support device 30 is located below the bed 10 and is used to support the bed 10.

[0034] Please also refer to Figure 2 The bed body 10 generally includes a bed board 12, two side frames 14 and two armrests. The bed board 12 is generally square and is used to carry a baby. Bedding such as a mattress, sheets, and pillows can be placed on the bed board 12. The two generally square side frames 14 extend upward from both ends of the bed board 12. The two armrests include a first armrest 15 and a second armrest 16 that are generally parallel to each other. The two ends of the first armrest 15 are respectively connected to one end of the two side frames 14 and are located on the rear side of the bed body 10. The two ends of the second armrest 16 are respectively movably connected to the other end of the two side frames 14 and are located on the front side of the bed body 10. The bed board 12, the two side frames 14, the first armrest 15 and the second armrest 16 together define a storage space with a top opening 18. The baby can enter the storage space from the opening 18 and move around in the storage space.

[0035] Figure 1 In the embodiment, the bed plate 12, the two side frames 14, the first armrest 15 and the second armrest 16 are all covered with a seat cloth formed of a soft material to provide a good touch. A translucent gauze is also provided between the first armrest 15 and the second armrest 16 and the bed plate 12.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the awning 20 includes a frame 22, a tarpaulin 24, and two engaging members 26 and 28. The frame 22 is a generally semicircular long rod, one end of which is movably connected to the first armrest 15 via a first engaging member 26, and the other end of which is movably connected to the side frame 14 via a second engaging member 28.

[0037] See also Figure 3The first engaging member 26 includes an engaging portion 262 having a roughly C-shaped cross-section and a pivoting portion 264 protruding from the top of the engaging portion 262. The engaging portion 262 is preferably made of an elastic material, such as metal or engineering plastic. The engaging portion 262 has a slot that matches the first armrest 15, so it can be elastically engaged with the first armrest 15 and can be easily removed from the first armrest 15. A pivot hole is provided on the pivoting portion 264, and an axial hole is provided at the end of the frame 22. Screws pass through the pivot hole and the axial hole to achieve a hinged connection between the end of the frame 22 and the pivoting portion 264.

[0038] See also Figure 4 The structure of the second engaging member 28 is basically the same as that of the first engaging member 26, and includes an engaging portion 282 with a roughly C-shaped cross-section and a pivoting portion 284 extending upward from the top edge of the engaging portion 282. The engaging portion 282 is preferably made of an elastic material, such as metal or engineering plastic. The engaging portion 282 has a slot that matches the side frame 14, so it can be elastically engaged with the side frame 14 and can be easily removed from the side frame 14. A pivot hole is provided on the pivoting portion 284, and an axial hole is provided at the other end of the frame 22. The screw passes through the pivot hole and the axial hole, thereby realizing the hinged connection between the other end of the frame 22 and the pivoting portion 284.

[0039] Since both ends of the frame 22 are hinged to the first armrest 15 and the side frame 14 respectively, the frame 22 can do pitching motion relative to the plane where the opening 18 is located. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It should be noted that the height or length of the frame 22 must be such that when the frame 22 is laid back to be parallel to the plane where the opening 18 is located, it does not interfere with the junction of the first armrest 15 and the side frame 14 .

[0040] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The tarpaulin 24 is formed of a seat cloth or other soft material to facilitate folding and storage. The tarpaulin 24 includes a covering portion 242, a sunshade portion 244 and a tarpaulin edge portion 246. The covering portion 242 is wrapped around the frame 22. The sunshade portion 244 extends backward from the covering portion 242 until it is in contact with the first armrest 15 and the side frame 14, thereby forming a complete shading area to prevent light from passing through the gap between the tarpaulin 24 and the first armrest 15 and the side frame 14. In this embodiment, the sunshade portion 244 can also be used to accommodate a mosquito net 40. The tarpaulin edge portion 246 extends forward from the covering portion 242 to form a shape similar to a hat brim, thereby further expanding the shading area. The tarpaulin edge portion 246 can also support the mosquito net 40, increasing the space when the mosquito net 40 is opened.

[0041] Please also refer to Figure 7The sunshade portion 244 further includes a first sunshade portion 2442 and a second sunshade portion 2444, which are connected to each other. The first sunshade portion 2442 is connected to the covering portion 242, and the second sunshade portion 2444 is connected to the first armrest 15 and the side frame 14. The first sunshade portion 2442 can be a double-layer structure, forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the mosquito net 40. A long slit is provided on the outer side of the covering portion 242 to facilitate the entry and removal of the mosquito net 40 into the receiving cavity. Once the mosquito net 40 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity, a zipper can be provided on the slit to securely hold the mosquito net 40 within the cavity and prevent it from protruding from the slit. It is understood that in other embodiments, a sealing mechanism such as hook and loop, magnetic strips, or buttons can be used to open or close the slit.

[0042] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mosquito net 40 is made of cotton yarn or chemical fiber. The mosquito net 40 can switch between a first state, where it is housed within the first sunshade 2442, and a second state, where it covers the opening 18. Specifically, the mosquito net 40 is normally folded and stored within the housing of the first sunshade 2442. When needed, the mosquito net 40 can be unzipped, one end of the mosquito net 40 can be pulled out through the slit, and then placed over the opening 18 of the bed 10 to prevent mosquitoes from harming the baby. Considering the mosquito net's light weight, and to ensure that it is not easily blown off the opening 18, the mosquito net 40 is also provided with a retractable rubber band 42 along its edge. The retractable rubber band 42 can be tightly wrapped around the opening 18, providing a more secure covering for the mosquito net 40. In other embodiments, the mosquito net 40 can be removably secured to the opening 18 using hook-and-loop closures, buttons, zippers, magnets, or other means.

[0043] When the mosquito net 40 is no longer needed, it can be removed from the opening 18, folded, and placed back into the receiving cavity. At this point, the entire mosquito net 40 is hidden within the first sunshade portion 2442, making it invisible from the outside and creating a very neat appearance. It is understood that the mosquito net 40 can also be completely removed from the receiving cavity of the first sunshade portion 2442 for cleaning or replacement. When the awning 20 is no longer needed, the first engaging member 26 can be separated from the first armrest 15, and the second engaging member 28 can be separated from the side frame 14, thereby easily removing the entire awning 20 from the bed body 10.

[0044] Please also see Figure 1 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the second armrest 16 can also slide in the vertical direction relative to the two side frames 14, that is, the second armrest 16 can rise or fall a preset distance relative to the bed board 12. Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, the side frame 14 is provided with a slide 142 extending in the vertical direction. The top of the side frame 14 is also provided with a positioning hole 144 spaced apart from the slide 142. Retractable positioning tongues (not shown) are formed at both ends of the second armrest 16. An operating member 162 is also provided in the middle of the second armrest 16. The operating member 162 is linked to the positioning tongues, that is, pressing the operating member 162 can cause the positioning tongues to extend or retract from the holes at both ends of the second armrest 16. Under normal conditions, the positioning tongues extend from both ends of the second armrest 16 and engage with the positioning holes 144 of the side frame 14, achieving relative positioning of the second armrest 16 and the side frame 14. When the second armrest 16 needs to be lowered to a certain height, the operating member 162 can be pressed to retract the positioning tongues, that is, to disengage them from the positioning holes 144. At this time, pressing the second armrest 16 hard can lower the height of the second armrest 16. After releasing the pressing member 162, the positioning tabs can be extended from both ends of the second armrest 16 again and enter the slide 142 of the side frame 14. Since the positioning tabs can slide in the slide 142, the second armrest 16 can be lowered to a certain height, making it easier for the user to reach into the storage space from the side of the bed body 10 to retrieve items. In addition, the crib 100 can be placed near an adult bed. When a baby cries at night, since the second armrest 16 can be lowered to a certain height, the mother can reach into the crib from one side of the second armrest 16 to comfort the baby without having to remove the mosquito net 40 from the opening 18, thereby preventing mosquitoes from entering the crib.

[0045] When the second armrest 16 needs to be restored, it can be pushed upward with force until the positioning tab passes through the spacer between the slideway 142 and the positioning hole 144 and enters the positioning hole 144. Because the shape of the positioning hole 144 matches the positioning tab, the second armrest 16 can be restored to its original position aligned with the top of the side frame 14. It is understood that to ensure that the positioning tab passes over the spacer more smoothly, the positioning tab can also be provided with an inclined contact surface.

[0046] In some embodiments, the side frames 14 connecting the two ends of the second armrest 16 are also made of a flexible material. When the second armrest 16 is lowered, the side frames 14 connecting the two ends of the second armrest 16 can also bend approximately 90 degrees, thereby extending the lower end of the second armrest 16 to the bed board 12.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the support device 30 includes a lifting device 32 connected to the bed body 10 and support legs 34 located at the bottom of the lifting device 32. The lifting device 32 can be used to adjust the height of the bed body 10 relative to the ground to accommodate adult beds of various heights. In one embodiment, the lower ends of the support legs 34 are also equipped with self-locking universal wheels 36 to facilitate the movement and positioning of the bed body 10.

[0048] The crib sunshade includes a frame, one end of which is movably connected to the first armrest, and the other end of which is movably connected to one of the side frames, so that the frame can move in pitch relative to the plane of the opening. In addition, the sunshade's tarpaulin can provide light blocking and sun protection, and further protect the newborn's eyesight.

[0049] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
