[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0050] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number or order of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the present application provides a child bassinet 1000 comprising two frames arranged in a height-opposite relationship and side frames 130 connected between the two frames. The two frames and the side frames enclose a space for carrying an infant or young child. Child bassinet 1000 also includes a flexible fabric cover 140 (shown in dashed lines) connecting the two frames. Child bassinet 1000 can be mounted on a support frame to form a bedside bed or mounted on a stroller.

[0052] For ease of illustration, the accompanying drawings only show one side of the child bassinet 1000. The height direction is along the Z direction (also referred to as the vertical direction), the first direction is the X direction (also referred to as the length direction), and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the XZ plane. The corresponding "top, bottom, upper, and lower" are referenced to the height direction. The side frames 130 are provided in two sets, arranged side by side along the second direction. The side frames of the same set are arranged along a common reference plane (i.e., the XZ plane), and the reference plane is parallel to the first direction.

[0053] The two frames include a first frame 110 and a second frame 120. The side frame 130 comprises two components: a first group 131 and a second group 132. The first group 131 comprises at least two rods, each of which is slidably mounted on the first frame 110 and hinged at one end to the second frame 120. The rods in the first group 131 and the two frames form a deformable structure with relative positions of deployed and folded. The deployed state moves the two frames apart, allowing them to support infants and young children, also known as the in-use state. The folded state brings the two frames closer together. The second group 132 comprises at least one rod, hinged to a rod in the first group 131 and one of the frames.

[0054] Taking the folding operation as an example, the two frames are brought together by the rods of the first group. During this process, the rods of the second group act to restrain the two frames from moving in the height direction without misalignment. This means that the folded state is the same length as the unfolded state, facilitating storage and packaging. Furthermore, the folded covers stack more regularly and neatly.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , when the child bassinet is in use, the first frame 110 is at the bottom, the second frame 120 is at the top, and each rod in the second group 132 has one end hinged to one of the rods in the first group 131 and the other end hinged to the first frame 110. In another embodiment, the first frame 110 is at the top, the second frame 120 is at the bottom, and each rod in the second group 132 has one end hinged to one of the rods in the first group 131 and the other end hinged to the second frame 120. For ease of explanation, the following embodiments and figures are based on the structure of the previous embodiment.

[0056] Among them, the rods in the first group 131 are inclined in the same direction. "Inclined in the same direction" is understood to mean that the direction in which each rod extends from its own bottom end to the top end is on the same side relative to the vertical line. Preferably, for example, the rods in the first group 131 are parallel to each other.

[0057] Each rod in the first group 131 moves synchronously and in the same direction with one end engaging the first frame 110. In a preferred embodiment, the sleeping cot further includes a connecting base 133 slidably mounted on the first frame 110. Each rod in the first group 131 is hingedly connected to the connecting base 133 and slides relative to the first frame 110 via the connecting base 133. In the unfolded state, each rod in the first group 131 is tilted relative to the vertical direction, allowing for smoother sliding of the rods in the first group 131 during unfolding and folding.

[0058] In one embodiment, the length of each rod of the second group 132 is less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the length of each rod of the first group 131. Similarly, in the unfolded state, the rods of the second group 132 are arranged obliquely relative to the vertical direction, and a triangular support structure is formed between one of the rods and one of the rods of the first group. The inclination direction of each rod of the second group 132 is opposite to that of the first group 131. Specifically, the first group 131 and the second group 132 are both connected to the first frame 110. The first frame 110 is regarded as a plane, and the following angles α and β are all relative to the first frame 110 as a reference object. In the figure, the inclination angle of each rod in the first group 131 is α, and the inclination angle of the second group 132 is β, satisfying α<90°, β>90 degrees. Further preferably, α<60°, β>110°, for example, α=50°, β=116°.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first group 131 includes two or more support rods 151. Any two support rods 151 and the two frames form a deformable parallelogram structure. That is, the second frame 120 is parallel to the first frame 110, allowing the two frames to be as close as possible when folded. The second group 132 includes one or more stabilizing rods 161. Each stabilizing rod 161 has one end hinged to the first frame 110 and the other end hinged to the middle of one of the support rods 151.

[0060] As shown, the connecting base 133 slides toward one side in a first direction during folding. The first group 131 includes two support rods 151, and the second group 132 includes a stabilizing rod 161, which is arranged on the other side of the connecting support rod 151. Along the length direction, the hinge point where the stabilizing rod 161 connects to the first frame 110 is near the end of the child bassinet 1000. During the folding process, the angle α gradually decreases, while the angle β gradually increases.

[0061] In one embodiment, along the length direction, one end of one of the rods of the first group 131 hinged to the frame is located at the end of the frame. In one embodiment, along the length direction, the connecting seat 133 is close to the end of the first frame in the folded state.

[0062] In one embodiment, along the first direction, the hinge position of the stabilizing rod 161 and the supporting rod 151 deviates from the center 101 of the child bassinet 1000. The center 101 is the intersection of the vertical centerline 102 and the horizontal centerline 103 of the two frames.

[0063] 4 to 14 , the specific structures of the connecting seat and the deformation structure refer to the following embodiments and drawings, wherein the connecting seat 133 includes a plurality of transverse connecting rods 1331 and a longitudinal connecting rod 1332 connecting each transverse connecting rod 1331 , and the extension directions of the transverse connecting rod 1331 and the longitudinal connecting rod 1332 are respectively the second direction and the first direction, and neither is limited to a straight rod.

[0064] The ends of the transverse connecting rods 1331 are hingedly connected to the first set of rods (symmetrical support rods 151) in the two sets of side frames. In conjunction with the previous embodiment, two transverse connecting rods 1331 are provided, and two longitudinal connecting rods 1332 are provided adjacent to the ends of the transverse connecting rods 1331 to enhance the structural strength of the connecting seat 133, thereby preventing deformation and ensuring sliding stability. In the figure, the first frame 110 is constructed of hollow rods and is provided with a first and a second chute. The support rods 151 partially extend into the first chute, and the ends of the transverse connecting rods 1331 extend into the second chute and are hingedly connected to the support rods 151. The first frame 110 defines an interior space 134, within which the connecting seat 133 is located. The child coop 1000 also includes a pad 135 fixed to the first frame 110 and located at the bottom of the accommodating space. The pad 135 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first frame 110 and covers the connecting seat 133.

[0065] In one embodiment, the child sleeping cot further includes a locking member that maintains the child sleeping cot in the expanded state and an unlocking member that unlocks the locking member. The locking mechanism can be located at any hinged location or between the connecting base and the frame. For example, as shown in Figures 12-14 , the locking member is a locking hook 210 rotatably mounted on the first frame 110. The child sleeping cot 1000 also includes an elastic member (e.g., a spring) mounted on the first frame 110 that acts on the locking hook 210. The locking hook 210 has a hook groove 211 that engages with the transverse connecting rod 1331 and an inclined surface 212 that adapts to the transverse connecting rod 1331. The unlocking member 230 is a wrench rotatably mounted on the first frame 110. The unlocking member 230 is located on one side of the first frame 110 in the first direction and is linked to the locking hook 210 via a transmission member 220 (e.g., the pull wire shown in Figure 12 ). The specific unlocking and locking operations are described below. As shown in Figure 13, the unlocking member 230 drives the lock hook 210 to rotate and compress the elastic member. The lock hook 210 releases the restriction on the transverse link 1331 and presses the second frame 120 to achieve the folding of the child sleeping basket; when locking, as shown in Figure 14, the connecting seat 133 moves until the transverse link 1331 is against the inclined surface 212 to drive the lock hook 210 to rotate, and wait for the elastic member to reset to drive the lock hook 210 back to restrict the transverse link 1331.

[0066] As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, the child sleeping cot 1000 further includes a driving member 240 for driving the connecting seat 133 to slide, thereby switching the deformable structure from a folded state to an unfolded state. For example, the driving member 240 is a flexible belt connected to the connecting seat 133. In conjunction with the previous embodiment, the flexible belt is connected to a transverse connecting rod 1331. The flexible cloth cover 140 covers the entire deformable structure, and the unlocking member 230 and the driving member 240 are at least partially exposed outside the flexible cloth cover 140.

[0067] In one embodiment, the child bassinet 1000 includes a handle 400 positioned in the middle of the second frame 120. The handle 400 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second frame 120. Preferably, a flexible sunshade is provided between the handle 400 and the second frame 120. The child bassinet 1000 also includes an adapter 300 positioned outside the middle of the first frame 110 or the second frame 120 for connecting to an external support device (such as a support frame or a stroller frame). The "middle" mentioned above does not strictly refer to the middle position, but rather to a region near the middle position. Preferably, the adapter 300 is rotatable relative to the first frame 110 or the second frame 120 to adjust the angle of the child bassinet on the support device.

[0068] The child sleeping cot of the present application has two frames that move vertically together in the height direction during folding, preventing misalignment. That is, the length dimensions of the folded state and the unfolded state are the same, which facilitates storage and packaging. Furthermore, the fabric cover stacks more regularly and neatly in the folded state.

[0069] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there are no conflicts in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features in different embodiments are reflected in the same figure, it can be regarded as that figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0070] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
