[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a folding chassis.

[0031] Embodiment 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The folding chassis includes a center seat 1, four support rods 2 and a limit assembly 3. The center seat 1 is arranged in a disc shape. Four first rotation grooves 11 are opened on the lower side of the center seat 1. The four first rotation grooves 11 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the center seat 1. At the same time, a mounting groove 12 is opened on the lower side of the center seat 1. The mounting groove 12 is coaxially arranged with the center seat 1. The four support rods 2 correspond to the four first rotation grooves 11. One end of each support rod 2 is rotatably connected to each first rotation groove 11, and the other end abuts against the ground.

[0032] The limiting assembly 3 includes a rotating column 31, a limiting seat 32 and a torsion spring 33. The rotating column 31 is coaxially connected to the center seat 1 and both the upper and lower ends protrude from the center seat 1. The limiting seat 32 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating column 31 so that the limiting seat 32 is located at the lower side of the center seat 1. The torsion spring 33 is installed in the installation groove 12, and one end of the torsion spring 33 abuts against the center seat 1, and the other end abuts against the limiting seat 32 to drive the limiting seat 32 to rotate.

[0033] In actual application, when the folding base frame is in the unfolded state, the limit seat 32 is rotatably connected to the center seat 1 through the rotating column 31 which is coaxially rotatably connected to the center seat 1, and the limit seat 32 is driven by the torsion spring 33 to rotate to the bottom of two oppositely arranged support rods 2, so that the upper side of the limit seat 32 abuts against the two support rods 2 at the same time to limit the rotation of the two support rods 2. Even if the lower side of the center seat 1 is subjected to an upward force, the support rods 2 cannot be rotated to fold, so as to ensure that the folding base frame is stably in the unfolded state, thereby ensuring the safety of the folding baby bed.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , wherein one end of the four support rods 2 away from the center seat 1 abuts against the ground, and by rotating the rotating column 31, the limit seat 32 releases the abutment on the two support rods 2, and the center seat 1 is pulled upward, so that each support rod 2 rotates in each first rotating groove 11, so that the folding abutment is in a folded state. Similarly, by pressing the center seat 1 downward, each support rod 2 rotates in each first rotating groove 11, so that the folding chassis is in an unfolded state, which can ensure the normal unfolding and folding of the folding chassis.

[0035] In some embodiments, the limit assembly 3 also includes a handle 34, which is installed at the upper end of the rotating column 31 for the user to hold. This makes it convenient to apply force to rotate the rotating column 31 so that the limit seat 32 is away from the bottom of the two support rods 2. It is also convenient to apply force to pull the center seat 1 upward, thereby facilitating the rapid folding of the folding frame.

[0036] In some embodiments, a groove 13 is provided on the upper side of the center seat 1, and the groove 13 is used to embed a handle 34, and the handle 34 is rotatably connected to the rotating column 31. By rotating the handle 34, the handle 34 is in a horizontal state, so that the handle 34 is embedded in the groove 13, so as to store the handle 34, save space, and avoid interference with other parts of the folding baby bed. At the same time, when the handle 34 abuts against the two ends of the groove 13, the rotation of the rotating column 31 can be restricted, so as to limit the range of rotation of the rotating column 31, so that the limit seat 32 can be more stably and accurately abutted against the two support rods 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, the limit seat 32 is detachably connected to the rotating column 31. In this embodiment, the limit seat 32 and the rotating column 31 are fixed by bolts to realize the detachable connection between the limit seat 32 and the rotating column 31. In other embodiments, it can be realized by means of snap connection, plug-in connection, etc., which is not limited by this application. During the installation of the limit assembly 3, the lower end of the rotating column 31 is first inserted into the center seat 1 so that the handle 34 abuts against the embedded groove 13 of the center seat 1. At this time, the limit seat 32 is sleeved on the lower end of the rotating column 31 and fixed by bolts. The operation is simple and convenient, so that the rotating column 31, the limit seat 32 and the handle 34 are easily installed on the center seat 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes a connecting bolt 35, and the limiting seat 32 is provided with a limiting groove 321 along its circumference. The upper end of the connecting bolt 35 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 321 and is threadedly connected to the center seat 1, so that the lower end of the connecting bolt 35 abuts against the lower side of the limiting seat 32, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the limiting seat 32. In addition, the connecting bolt 35 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 321 to guide the rotation of the limiting seat 32, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the limiting seat 32, and when the connecting bolt 35 abuts against the two ends of the limiting groove 321, the range of rotation of the rotating column 31 can be limited, so that the limiting seat 32 can abut against the two support rods 2 more stably and accurately. It should be noted that the number of the connecting bolt 35 and the limiting groove 321 are both two.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the folding base frame also includes two reinforcing rods 4. Two second rotation grooves 14 are opened on the lower side of the center seat 1. The two second rotation grooves 14 are arranged opposite to each other and are located between two different support rods 2. One end of each reinforcing rod 4 is rotatably connected to each second rotation groove 14, and the other end is abutted against the ground to improve the stability of the folding base frame placed on the ground, that is, to improve the stability of the folding base frame in the unfolded state, thereby improving the stability of the folding baby bed in use.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes two limiting sleeves 36, which are arranged corresponding to the two support rods 2 abutting against the limiting seat 32, each limiting sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to each support rod 2, and the reinforcing rod 4 is located in the opposite direction of the rotation of the limiting seat 32 driven by the torsion spring 33. When the base frame is in the folded state, the limiting seat 32 abuts against the limiting sleeve 36 and the reinforcing rod 4 at the same time, and the reinforcing rod 4 is partially located in the groove 322 of the limiting seat 32 to limit the rotation of the limiting seat 32, thereby ensuring the stability of the folding base frame in the folded state.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: in actual application, when the folding base frame is in the unfolded state, the limit seat 32 is rotatably connected to the center seat 1 through the rotating column 31 which is coaxially rotatably connected to the center seat 1, and the limit seat 32 is driven by the torsion spring 33 to rotate to the bottom of two oppositely arranged support rods 2, so that the upper side of the limit seat 32 abuts against the two support rods 2 at the same time to limit the rotation of the two support rods 2. Even if the lower side of the center seat 1 is subjected to an upward force, the support rods 2 cannot be rotated to fold, so as to ensure that the folding base frame is stably in the unfolded state, thereby ensuring the safety of the folding baby bed.

[0042] Among them, one end of the four support rods 2 away from the center seat 1 is in contact with the ground, and by rotating the rotating column 31, the limit seat 32 releases the contact with the two support rods 2, and the center seat 1 is pulled upward, so that each support rod 2 rotates in each first rotating groove 11, so that the folding contact is in a folded state. Similarly, by pressing the center seat 1 downward, each support rod 2 rotates in each first rotating groove 11, so that the folding chassis is in an unfolded state, which can ensure the normal unfolding and folding of the folding chassis.

[0043] Embodiment 2: Reference Figure 4, the other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the embodiment 1, except that each limiting sleeve 36 is slidably connected to each support rod 2, and the sliding direction is the length direction of the support rod 2. At the same time, the limiting assembly 3 also includes a spring 37, one end of the spring 37 is fixedly connected to the support rod 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 36, so as to drive the limiting sleeve 36 close to the center seat 1. When the folding chassis is in the unfolded state, the spring 37 drives the limiting sleeve 36 close to the center seat 1, so that the limiting sleeve 36 is pressed against the end of the limiting seat 32 to limit the rotation of the limiting seat 32, thereby improving the stability of the folding chassis in the unfolded state. When the folding chassis is in the folded state, the spring 37 drives the limiting sleeve 36 close to the center seat 1, so that the limiting sleeve 36 is pressed against the lower side of the center seat 1 to limit the rotation of the support rod 2, thereby improving the stability of the folding chassis in the folded state.

[0044] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 further includes two limiting bolts 38, and the support rod 2 is provided with a penetrating sliding groove 21 along its length direction. The upper end of each limiting bolt 38 is threadedly connected to each limiting sleeve 36, and the limiting bolt 38 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 21 to limit the rotation of the limiting sleeve 36, thereby improving the stability of the limiting sleeve 36 slidingly connected to the support rod 2. More importantly, the limiting bolt 38 is also threadedly connected to the bed frame of the folding baby bed located above the folding base frame to limit the displacement of the limiting sleeve 36, so that the limiting sleeve 36 is more stably pressed against the limiting seat 32, further improving the stability of the folding bed frame in the unfolded state. In addition, the positioning installation between the bed frame and the limiting sleeve 36 can also be achieved.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a folding baby crib.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 The folding crib comprises a bracket 5 and the folding base frame described in the above embodiment, and one end of four support rods 2 away from the center seat 1 is fixedly connected to the bracket 5 .

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
