[0016] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a baby crib according to a specific embodiment of the present application includes: a base 1 and a bed body; a supporting mechanism arranged above the base 1, the supporting mechanism being used to support the bed body; a tilt detection sensor 7 arranged in the base 1 and / or the supporting mechanism, the tilt detection sensor 7 detecting the tilt of the base 1 and / or the supporting mechanism; and an actuator and a controller 9 arranged in the base 1, the controller 9 controlling the actuator to operate according to the detection result of the tilt detection sensor 7.

[0017] The actuator includes, for example, an alarm device, which can emit an acoustic and / or optical alarm. The acoustic alarm device is, for example, a buzzer, and the optical alarm device is, for example, a lamp.

[0018] The tilt detection sensor 7 is one or more of an angular velocity sensor, an acceleration sensor and a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). The tilt detection sensor 7 uses, for example, a gyroscope principle to detect the tilt of the base 1. The tilt detection sensor 7 is optionally provided in the controller 9 to improve integration and facilitate manufacturing.

[0019] In this embodiment, by means of the tilt detection sensor 7, the controller 9 and the actuator arranged in the base 1 and / or the support mechanism, when the tilt detection sensor 7 detects that the base 1 and / or the support mechanism is tilted too much, for example, the base 1 and / or the support mechanism is tilted beyond a certain critical angle θ (reference Figure 4 As shown, the critical angle θ can be 5 degrees to 60 degrees, for example, the critical angle θ is 8 degrees, 13 degrees, 19 degrees, 23 degrees, 27 degrees, 33 degrees, 38 degrees, 45 degrees or 53 degrees), the controller 9 controls the actuator to perform corresponding operations, such as alarming or adjusting the position of the bed, so as to remind the guardian that the crib is in danger of tipping over or has already tipped over, or to prevent the crib from tipping over, thereby protecting the safety of the baby in the crib and improving the safety of the crib. Figure 4The tilt directions shown in FIG. 1 are only examples, and the tilt detection sensor 7 can detect the tilt of the base 1 in various directions.

[0020] Specifically, the support mechanism includes side columns 2 vertically arranged at both ends of the base 1. The bed body includes a first frame 3 and a second frame 4 arranged between the side columns 2, a bed board is installed on the first frame 3, and the first frame 3 can be raised and lowered relative to the side columns 2. The second frame 4 is higher than the first frame 3 in the vertical direction, or the first frame 3 can at least be raised and lowered relative to the side columns 2 without being higher than the second frame 4.

[0021] The crib also includes a motor 5 disposed in the base 1, for driving the first frame 3 to rise and fall relative to the side column 2. The motor 5 is also a part of the actuator. In addition, the crib also includes a transmission mechanism (such as a reducer, a transmission rod, and a lead screw nut mechanism) disposed between the motor 5 and the first frame 3, for transmitting the power of the motor 5 to the first frame 3.

[0022] The controller 9 can control the motor 5 to drive the bed body to rise and fall relative to the support mechanism according to the detection result of the tilt detection sensor 7. For example, when the baby bed is tilted due to obstacles around the first frame 3 during the process of lifting and lowering the first frame 3, the controller 9 controls the motor 5 according to the detection result of the tilt detection sensor 7 to lift and lower the first frame 3 relative to the side column 2 until the baby bed returns to a balanced state and no longer tilts.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present application, the transmission mechanism may include a lead screw disposed in the side column 2 and a nut matched with the lead screw, and the motor 5 can drive the lead screw to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw drives the nut to move linearly along the lead screw, and the linear movement of the nut drives the first frame 3 to be raised and lowered. In this way, not only the first frame 3 is raised and lowered smoothly, but also the first frame 3 is kept in the desired position when the motor 5 stops rotating through the self-locking function of the lead screw nut and the reducer and circuit self-locking function of the motor 5. In particular, a torsion spring can also be added to the lead screw to achieve a self-locking function with a larger torque.

[0024] A power adapter may also be provided in the base 1, and the power adapter is used to supply power to the motor 5. A plurality of wiring harnesses are connected between the controller 9 and the motor 5, for example, two power lines are used to supply power to the motor 5 and two signal lines are used to control the rotation of the motor 5. The power adapter may also be hung on the side or top of the base 1, and the controller 9 is placed in the base 1 and is designed to be detachable, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, and the wiring harnesses may be arranged in the base 1, which is safe and beautiful.

[0025] A control panel 10 connected to the controller 9 is provided on the side column 2, and the controller 9 can be operated through the control panel 10, and thus the motor 5 and the first frame 3 can be operated. Optionally, the first frame 3 can be operated to rise or fall to different heights through the control panel 10. For example, a plurality of control buttons are provided on the control panel 10, which are convenient for manual control of the first frame 3 to rise, fall, or directly adjust the first frame 3 to a desired position.

[0026] The alarm can be located in the control panel 10, which is convenient for the integration of components of the alarm and the control panel 10 will not affect the propagation of acoustic and / or optical alarm signals. Corresponding adjustment buttons can be set on the control panel 10, for example, for turning off the alarm signal and adjusting the signal strength of the alarm signal.

[0027] The crib includes an interface 6 arranged on the support mechanism, in which a mechanical connection component and an electrical connection component are integrated, the mechanical connection component includes a guide portion and a locking portion, and the electrical connection component includes contacts. The crib also includes a bracket 8 arranged on the support mechanism, and the bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the support mechanism through the interface 6. Optionally, the electrical connection component includes at least four contacts, at least two of which are electrically conductive with each other. The bracket is connected to the support mechanism through the interface, and a camera device 83 is provided in the bracket. Electric energy can be transmitted to the bracket through the contacts, thereby powering the camera device. The interface 6 can be arranged on at least one of the two side columns 2, so that the bracket 8 can be fixed on at least one of the two side columns 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bracket is arranged on the side column 2 provided with the control panel 10. Optionally, the bracket is arranged at the top of the side column 2. The wiring harness for powering the camera device on the bracket can be connected to the interface with the bracket along the side column 2 provided with the control panel 10, simplifying the arrangement of the wiring harness; in addition, the camera device and the lighting device on the bracket can also be controlled by the control panel 10.

[0029] The bracket includes a first section 81 connected to the supporting mechanism and a second section 82 at an angle to the first section, and a camera device and / or an illumination device are arranged on the second section 82. The first section extends in a vertical direction, and the second section may extend substantially in a horizontal direction.

[0030] The guide portion includes a guide groove, and the bracket can be inserted into the support mechanism through the guide groove. When the locking portion is locked, the bracket is fixedly connected to the support mechanism; when the locking portion is unlocked, the bracket can be removed from the support mechanism. Specifically, the locking portion includes a locking mouth, and a retractable locking block provided on the bracket can protrude from the locking mouth, so that the bracket is locked in the support mechanism. For example, the bracket is moved into the guide portion along the guide groove on the support mechanism until the locking block pops out of the locking mouth and is confined in the locking mouth, thereby completing the fastening of the bracket; when necessary, the locking block is pressed to break away from the restriction of the locking mouth and the bracket is pulled out of the guide groove, thereby completing the disassembly of the bracket.

[0031] The bracket may also be provided with an illumination device, for example, to illuminate the crib in poor lighting conditions. Optionally, different camera devices and illumination devices (for example, with different numbers and positions) may be provided in multiple brackets, and the user only needs to install the required bracket on the support mechanism to meet different functional requirements.

[0032] The guardian can observe the baby in real time through the camera device, and the camera device can be combined with a monitoring system to provide a monitoring function, or the camera device can be connected to the Internet so that the guardian can remotely observe the baby's status in real time. For example, the camera device can be connected to the Internet through a wireless network (such as wifi), and the video of the baby can be shared with the remote guardian.

[0033] Optionally, an alarm is provided in the bracket, especially an optical alarm, such as a light. When the tilt detection sensor 7 detects that the base 1 is tilted too much, the controller 9 controls the optical alarm to alarm, such as emitting a flash, so as to serve as a reminder. The alarm can be connected to the Internet via a wireless network (such as wifi), and the alarm information can be shared with the remote guardian.
