CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of infant and child products, particularly to a baby rocking bed.BACKGROUND
[0003] Traditional baby rocking beds usually have a simple sliding or hinged mechanism between the bed body and the supporting frame to achieve rocking function. In the prior art, it is a common approach to make the bed body connection part and the supporting frame connection part directly contact and cooperate through a flat or curved slide, and use the external force applied by the user to achieve relative sliding, thereby producing a swinging effect; another approach is to achieve reciprocating oscillation by using the traditional hinge connection between the shaft and the sleeve, combined with a spring.
[0004] However, the existing solutions mentioned above, which mainly rely on direct sliding friction between components, face problems such as high frictional resistance and insufficient smoothness of movement, which can easily lead to shaking, jamming, and abnormal noise, and long-term use causes wear and tear on the contact surface, leading to increased gaps between components and resulting in shaking and instability, affecting the comfort and safety of infants. In addition, simple hinge methods, although achieving the swinging purpose, often lack necessary automatic return or buffering mechanisms and have relatively single functions.
[0005] The existing technology has the technical defect of poor motion stability due to its reliance on sliding friction and lack of effective pre tightening and clearance mechanisms.SUMMARY

[0035] It should be noted in advance that in the present invention, the bed body 1 can be understood as either a bed frame or a bed, while the supporting mechanism 3 can be understood as a support tripod, and the bed body 1 and supporting mechanism 3 shown in the accompanying drawings are commonly used for displaying the structure of a baby rocking bed, and are also used to assist in understanding the content of the rocking mechanism 5.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the middle piece 52 is provided with a friction body 521 that abuts against the first sliding component 51 and the second sliding component 53, and the friction body 521 is linearly arranged on the middle piece 52 along the sliding direction of the first sliding component 51, the function of the friction body 521 is to provide pre pressure for the first sliding component 51 and the second sliding component 53, the shape of the friction body 521 is not limited, and the key is its ability to withstand the first sliding component 51 and the second sliding component 53, and to form a pre pressure from the vertical direction, transforming the rocking motion in the present invention into rolling friction.
[0037] Specifically, as some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the friction body 521 is a ball, which is specifically spherical, and the spherical structure is beneficial for further reducing wear and increasing service life. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the friction body 521 can also be a roller. Besides, the friction bodies 521 on the same straight line are arranged equidistantly on the middle piece 52.
[0038] Specifically, in order to create a uniform pre pressure on the friction body 521, the radial distance from the center of the friction body 521 to the contact surface of the first sliding component 51 is equal to the radial distance to the contact surface of the second sliding component 53.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to ensure the stable functioning of middle piece 52, a specific installation structure for middle piece 52 is proposed, a receiving channel 6 for the friction body 521 to pass through is formed between the first sliding component 51 and the second sliding component 53, and the middle piece 52 is disposed in the receiving channel 6.
[0040] Specifically, the receiving channel 6 comprises an upper cavity 61 and a lower cavity 62, and in order to make the receiving channel 6 more suitable for the installation of middle piece 52, the upper cavity 61 and the lower cavity 62 are concave upwards and downwards, respectively.

[0043] In some of the embodiments of the present invention, the baby rocking bed further comprises a resetting mechanism, wherein the resetting mechanism includes a receiving chamber 71 on the first connecting base 2, a fixed portion 72 on the second connecting base 4, and an elastic member 73 on the receiving chamber 71, and the first end of the elastic member 73 is disposed on the fixed portion 72, and the second end is disposed on the receiving chamber 71, and the elastic member 73 is configured to be elastically stretched during the sliding process of the first sliding member 51 relative to the second sliding member 53, thereby resetting the first sliding member 51 under the action of elastic recovery.

In some other embodiments of the present invention, the spring can also be replaced with elastic components such as rubber, sponge, elastic fibers, etc. and the connection relationship is not limited, and conventional technical means such as bonding, clamping, or node installation can be used. The elastic components and corresponding installation methods, which can be implemented by those skilled in the art, will not be elaborated in further.
[0045] The working principle of the present invention is explained as follows:
[0046] When it is necessary to rock the bed body 1, external force is applied to push the bed body 1, causes the first connecting base 2 to slide through the first sliding component 51, thereby driving the bed body 1 to rock. During the process, due to the arrangement of middle piece 52, rolling friction design is formed and, after the external force is released, the bed body 1 will continue to rock for a period of time due to the resetting mechanism.
[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation that is made based on the description and accompanying drawings hereof under the concept of present invention, or is directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall fall within scope of patent protection of the present invention.
