Benefits of technology

[0006]Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the operating device of the foldable playpen comprises four operating ropes used for enabling the top fence rails and the bottom frame rails to respond to the movement of the bottom frame foldable connector so as to switch the playpen to a folded state from an unfolded state; and the first end of an operating rope is connected to a top fence joint assembly, and the second end of an operating rope is connected to the bottom frame foldable connector. In actual mounting, the operating ropes are arranged along the side fence of the playpen, and one end of each operating rope is connected to the corresponding top fence joint assembly and the other end thereof is connected to the bottom frame foldable connector. The playpen is simple in structure and very convenient for mounting, can synchronously fold the bottom frame rails and the top fence rails, and is safe and reliable.

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem is that a base frame folding-unfolding device in the prior art is complex in structure, and the joint structures of the base frame folding-unfolding device and the four top fence rails cannot be synchronously folded so that the folding-unfolding operations are troublesome.
However, the problem is that, in order to unfold or fold the upper assemblies by the cables in response to the up-and-down linear movement of the central assembly, the groups of cables are coordinated with cam followers which are mounted on lower legs on upper portions pivotally connected to lower corner assemblies.
It is very difficult and time-consuming to thread and mount the cables.
Moreover, due to the complex threading of cables, jamming occurs easily.
And, due to the complex threading of cables, the yield of qualified products is decreased, resulting in increased manufacturing cost.

Abstract

A foldable playpen includes four top fence assemblies, four side fence assemblies and a bottom frame assembly, the first end of each bottom frame rail being movably attached to the bottom frame foldable connector; an operating device for engaging the four top fence joint assemblies with the bottom frame foldable connector; four operating ropes, each operating rope having a first end and a second end, for enabling the top fence rails and the bottom frame rails to respond to a movement of the bottom frame foldable connector so as to switch the foldable playpen to a folded state from an open state, the first end of an operating rope is connected to a top fence joint assembly, and the second end of an operating rope is connected to the bottom frame foldable connector. The playpen can synchronously fold the bottom frame rails and the top fence rails, and is safe and reliable.

Description

RELATE APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a national phase entrance of and claims benefit to PCT Application for a foldable playpen, PCT / CN2015 / 088322, filed on Aug. 28, 2015, which claims benefit to Chinese Patent Applications 201410520146.9, filed on Sep. 30, 2014. The specifications of both applications are incorporated here by this reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of playpens and in particular to a foldable playpen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A baby playpen, as a safe place for babies to sleep and play, can be used both at home and on a trip. The playpen can also create a safe area for babies, especially when they can crawl or when they become passionately curious. As babies grew up with increased activities, the playpen can also be a safe place for babies if you must do something else, such as work or homework. In order to occupy less space and be convenient to move, the playpen is usually convenient to be folded...
