[0001] This invention relates to the field of beds, and more specifically to a structure for fixing broken bed side beams. Background Technology

[0002] A bed is an essential part of people's lives. A bed generally consists of a bed frame and a mattress. The bed frame includes two headboards, two side beams connecting the two headboards, and bed slats connecting the two side beams.

[0003] For ease of transport, current bed side beams are generally designed as a segmented structure, meaning they are composed of multiple side beam units spliced ​​together. Currently, two side beam units are connected by a rectangular or columnar connector. Specifically, both ends of the connector are inserted into the two side beam units, and then tightened with screws or bolts. For the connector to be inserted into the side beam unit, its dimensions must be smaller than the internal dimensions of the side beam unit. However, this results in gaps between the side beam unit and the connector, preventing their connecting surfaces from fitting together properly, thus affecting the connection strength and stability.

The first bending portion bends toward the second side of the first riveting portion, and the second side is in the opposite direction to the first side.

[0010] The first bending portion includes a first bending segment and a second bending segment. The first bending segment is bent relative to the first riveting portion, and the second bending segment is bent relative to the first bending portion.

[0011] The second connecting component includes two connecting blocks, namely a first connecting block and a second connecting block; each connecting block includes a second riveting portion and a second locking portion, the second locking portion being connected to one end of the second riveting portion and located on a first side of the second riveting portion; the first connecting block and the second connecting block are riveted at the second riveting portion, and the first sides of the two second riveting portions are in contact.

[0012] The second locking part of the first connecting block and the second connecting block is inserted into the side beam unit. The second locking part is provided with a screw hole. The side beam unit is provided with a second through hole that mates with the screw hole of the second locking part. The side beam unit and the second connecting assembly are fixed by a second bolt. The second bolt passes through the second through hole and locks with the screw hole of the second locking part.

[0013] The second riveting part of the first connecting block or the second connecting block is provided with a locking block, and a locking groove is formed between the locking block and the second riveting part, with the locking groove facing downward; the headstock is provided with a locking hole, the locking block is inserted into the locking hole, and the side wall of the locking hole is inserted into the locking groove.

[0014] The second locking part of the first connecting block is located above the second locking part of the second connecting block, and the locking block is disposed on the second riveting part of the first connecting block.

Implementation

[0041] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the present invention discloses a bed side beam fixing structure, including a headboard 20 and a bed side beam 10 connected to the headboard 20. The bed side beam 10 includes two or more side beam units 11. Two adjacent side beam units 11 are locked together by a first connecting component 40. The side beam unit 11 closer to the headboard 20 is connected to the headboard 20 by a second connecting component 50.

[0042] Reference Figure 2-7 As shown, the first connecting assembly 40 includes two connecting pieces, namely a first connecting piece 41 and a second connecting piece 42. Each connecting piece includes a first riveting portion 401 and two first locking portions 402. The two first locking portions 402 are respectively connected to both ends of the first riveting portion 401, and both first locking portions 402 are located on the first side of the first riveting portion 401. The first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are arranged crosswise, and the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are riveted together at the riveting portion, with the first sides of the two first riveting portions 401 abutting against each other. The first locking portion 402 is inserted into the side beam unit 11, and the first locking portion 402 has a screw hole. The side beam unit 11 has a first through hole 111 that mates with the screw hole. The side beam unit 11 and the first connecting assembly 40 are fixed together by bolts, which are locked through the first through hole 111 and locked with the screw hole of the first locking portion 402.

[0043] When using the first connecting assembly 40 to connect two adjacent side beam units 11, adjust the distance between the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 so that the vertical height of the first connecting assembly 40 is less than the inner cavity height of the side beam unit 11. This makes inserting the first connecting assembly into the side beam unit 11 easier and simpler. Then, insert both ends of the connecting assembly into the two side beam units 11 respectively, aligning the screw hole of the first locking part 402 with the first through hole 111 of the side beam unit 11. Next, pass a bolt through the first through hole 111 and lock it into the screw hole of the first locking part 402. Because the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are riveted, during the process of locking the bolt into the screw hole of the first locking part 402, the first riveting part 401 will move towards the inner wall of the side beam unit 11, making the first riveting part 401 tightly adhere to the inner wall of the side beam unit 11, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting assembly and the side beam unit 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 described below are larger than the dimensions of the screw hole. For example, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 are elongated holes, while the screw hole is a round hole. When the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are at the maximum insertable angle α, there is a gap d between the two first locking parts 402 located on the same side of the first riveting part 401. The maximum insertable angle α refers to the maximum angle between the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 when the first connecting assembly 40 can be inserted into the cavity of the side beam unit 11. When the angle between the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 is greater than this maximum insertable angle, the first hinge part will not be able to be inserted into the side beam unit 11. Therefore, in this case, when connecting the two side beam units 11 using the connecting assembly, the angle between the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 is adjusted to the maximum insertable angle α. Then, the first hinge part is inserted into the inner cavity of the side beam unit 11, and the first through hole 111 is aligned with the screw hole. Next, a bolt is passed through the through hole and locked in the screw hole. During the rotation of the bolt, the first locking part 402 moves towards the inner wall of the side beam unit 11 towards the first riveting part 401, and the gap d gradually decreases. When the first riveting part 401 is in close contact with the inner wall of the side beam unit 11, the gap d becomes 0, so that the two first riveting parts 401 located on the same side abut together, further improving the connection strength between the connecting assembly and the side beam unit 11.

[0045] In this invention, the connecting piece further includes a first bending portion 403. One end of the first bending portion 403 is connected to the first riveting portion 401, and the other end is connected to the first locking portion 402. The first bending portion 403 bends towards a second side of the first riveting portion 401, with the second side and the first side having opposite directions. Specifically, the first bending portion 403 includes a first bending segment 4031 and a second bending segment 4032. The first bending segment 4031 bends relative to the first riveting portion 401, and the second bending segment 4032 bends relative to the first bending portion 403. The first bending portion 403 allows the riveting portions of the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 to fit better, ensuring connection stability and improving the strength of the connecting piece. Furthermore, the first bending portion 403 allows the first edge lines and second edges of the two first locking portions 402 of the same connecting piece to be aligned, thus balancing the load-bearing capacity of the connecting piece.

[0046] like Figure 8-10 As shown, the second connecting component 50 includes two connecting blocks, namely a first connecting block 51 and a second connecting block 52; each connecting block includes a second riveting portion 501 and a second locking portion 502, the second locking portion 502 is connected to one end of the second riveting portion 501, and the second locking portion 502 is located on the first side of the second riveting portion 501; the first connecting block 51 and the second connecting block 52 are riveted at the second riveting portion 501, and the first sides of the two second riveting portions 501 are in contact.

[0047] When the second connecting assembly 50 is locked to the bed side beam 10, the second locking part 502 of the first connecting block 51 and the second connecting block 52 is inserted into the bed side beam 10. The second locking part 502 and the bed side beam 10 are provided with mutually matching screw holes. The second bolt is used to lock the bed side beam 10 and the second locking part 502 into the screw holes, thereby realizing the connection between the bed side beam 10 and the second locking part 502.

[0048] The second riveting portion 501 of the first connecting block 51 or the second connecting block 52 is provided with a locking block 504, which forms a groove 5041 with the second riveting portion 501, and the groove 5041 faces downward; the headboard 20 is provided with a locking hole 221. When the locking block 504 is inserted into the locking hole 221, the side wall of the locking hole 221 is inserted into the groove 5041, thereby realizing the connection between the second connecting component 50 and the headboard 20.

[0049] The headboard frame 20 includes a horizontal support assembly 21 and two vertical support rods 22. The horizontal support assembly 21 is connected between the two vertical support rods 22, and the vertical support rods 22 are provided with the aforementioned locking holes 221. That is, the bed side beam 10 is connected to the vertical support rods 22 of the headboard frame 20 through the second connecting assembly 50.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second locking part 502 of the first connecting block 51 is located above the second locking part 502 of the second connecting block 52, and the locking block 504 is disposed on the second riveting part 501 of the first connecting block 51. To enhance the connection stability between the bed side beam 10 and the vertical support rod 22 and prevent them from easily separating, a limiting block 505 is provided at one end of the second locking part 502 of the first connecting block 51 near the headboard 20. Correspondingly, the headboard 20 is also provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the limiting block 505. The limiting hole and the locking hole may be connected or not connected. In this embodiment, the limiting hole and the locking hole 221 are connected, forming an elongated hole.

[0051] To increase the connection strength of the second connecting assembly 50, the connecting block is further provided with a second bending portion 503. One end of the second bending portion 503 is connected to the second riveting portion 501, and the other end is connected to the second locking portion 502. The second bending portion 503 bends towards the second side of the second riveting portion 501, and the second side is in the opposite direction to the first side. Specifically, the second bending portion 503 includes a third bending segment 5031 and a fourth bending segment 5032. The third bending segment 5031 bends relative to the second riveting portion 501, and the fourth bending segment 5032 bends relative to the third bending portion.

[0052] The process of connecting the bed side beam 10 and the headboard 20 using the second connecting assembly 50 is as follows:

[0053] First, connect the second connecting assembly 50 to the bed side beam 10: adjust the distance between the first connecting block 51 and the second connecting block 52 so that the vertical height of the second connecting assembly 50 is less than the inner cavity height of the bed side beam 10. Then, insert the second locking part 502 of the second connecting assembly 50 into the bed side beam 10, and align the screw hole of the second locking part 502 with the second through hole 112 of the bed side beam 10. Next, pass a bolt through the second through hole 112 and lock it into the screw hole of the second locking part 502. Because the first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are riveted, during the process of locking the bolt into the screw hole of the second locking part 502, the second riveting part 501 will move towards the inner wall of the bed side beam 10, so that the second riveting part 501 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the bed side beam 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the second connecting assembly 50 and the bed side beam 10.

[0054] Complete the connection between the second connecting component 50 and the bed side beam 10, and then connect the second connecting component 50 and the headboard 20. Specifically, insert the locking block 504 on the second connecting component 50 into the locking hole 221 on the vertical support rod 22. When the side wall of the locking hole 221 is engaged with the locking groove 5041, the limiting block 505 enters the limiting hole, thereby completing the engagement between the second connecting component 50 and the headboard 20, as well as the limiting between them.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the vertical support rod 22 of the headboard 20 is relatively high, the fixing structure also includes a ladder, which is connected to the headboard 20 or the side beam 10 of the bed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connecting piece is a one-piece molded structure. The connecting block is a one-piece molded structure.

[0057] In summary, this invention utilizes a first connecting assembly 40 to connect the two side beam units 11. This first connecting assembly 40 consists of two cross-riveted first connecting pieces 41 and second connecting pieces 42. When the first connecting assembly 40 is inserted into the side beam unit 11, it still has a certain amount of deformation space. Therefore, when bolts are used for locking, the first hinge portion of the first connecting assembly 40 will move towards and tightly adhere to the inner wall of the side beam unit 11, thereby improving the connection strength between the side beam units 11.

[0058] Furthermore, this invention utilizes a second connecting assembly 50 to connect the bed side beam 10 and the headboard 20. This second connecting assembly 50 consists of two riveted first connecting blocks 51 and second connecting blocks 52. Even after the second connecting assembly 50 is inserted into the bed side beam 10, it still has a certain amount of deformation space. Therefore, when bolts are used for locking, the second hinge portion of the second connecting assembly 50 will move towards and tightly adhere to the inner wall of the bed side beam 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the side beam units 11.

[0059] Therefore, the bed side beams of the present invention have stable connections and good connection strength.

[0060] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
