Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of folding beds, in particular to a leg connecting seat and a supporting frame. Background Art

[0002] Existing cribs are primarily used to confine infants, providing a safe space for play and sleep. There are many types of cribs on the market, including folding beds, cradles, and infant care beds. Folding cribs are increasingly popular due to their foldability and compact storage footprint.

[0003] The existing foldable baby crib frame consists of an upper frame, a lower frame, and struts pivotally connected at the four corners. Joints between the frames allow the crib to be expanded or folded. To fold, the upper and lower frames are unlocked, allowing them to rotate toward the center. This reduces the crib's footprint and makes it easier to carry and store. However, existing foldable baby cribs may have the following disadvantages:

[0004] First, after folding, the support part or support seat at the bottom (the middle position at the bottom, which realizes the folding function) is higher than the upper connecting part or upper leg connecting parts (located at the four corners at the top). In this way, after folding, it is easy to press the support part or support seat, affecting the use of the child crib;

[0005] Secondly, the fence cloth of the folding bed is currently set on the bottom of the column and needs to be fixed by a fixing rod (for example, bolts are currently used) and a gasket. Specifically, the fixing rod is passed through the gasket, the fence cloth and the column to fix it to prevent the fence cloth from moving up. When this structure is adopted, the gasket is small and the assembly is more cumbersome; and since the column is cylindrical, the gasket overlaps with one side of the column and needs to be provided with an arc groove that matches the column, which is costly.

A first hook groove 8222 that can hook the second connecting shaft 085 is provided on the first folding seat 082, and a second hook groove 8322 that can hook the second connecting shaft 085 is provided on the second folding seat 083. The first connecting tube 087 is rotatably connected to the foot connecting seat. The first connecting tube 087 is rotatably connected to the first folding seat 082 or the second folding seat 083. During rotation, the two first connecting tubes 087 connected to the first folding seat 082 are located at the end away from the first folding seat 082 and approach or move away from each other, and the two first connecting tubes 087 connected to the second folding seat 083 are located at the end away from the first folding seat 082 and approach or move away from each other.

[0052] The support seat 081 is provided with a first elongated groove 811 for the first connecting seat to move along the vertical direction, and a second elongated groove 812 for the second connecting seat to move along the vertical direction.

[0053] The first folding seat 082 includes a second main body 821 and two third connecting parts 822 arranged side by side on the second main body 821. Below the third connecting parts 822 is a first mounting hole 8221 for the first rotating shaft to pass through. The second folding seat 083 includes a third main body 831 and two fourth connecting parts 832 arranged side by side on the third main body 831. Below the fourth connecting parts 832 are second mounting holes 8321 for the first rotating shaft to pass through. When the first folding seat 082 and the second folding seat 083 are installed, the two fourth connecting parts 832 are located inside the two third connecting parts 822. A first hooking groove 8222 is located above the third connecting part 822, and a second hooking groove 8322 is located above the fourth connecting part 832. The second main body 821 and the third main body 831 have the same structure and can be used to attach a folding rod to achieve the folding function.

[0054] An installation position 813 is provided inside the support seat 081 for installing the first folding seat 082 and the second folding seat 083 . After the third connecting portion 822 and the fourth connecting portion 832 are installed on the first connecting shaft 084 , most of them are located in the installation position 813 .

[0055] Connecting device 008 also includes a moving assembly 086 for moving second connecting shaft 085 upward. Moving assembly 086 includes a sliding seat 861 and a moving member 862 for lifting sliding seat 861 and second connecting shaft 085 upward. Sliding seat 861 is provided with a limiting hole 8611, and support seat 081 is provided with a limiting post 814 that cooperates with the positioning hole. Moving member 862 is sleeved onto second connecting shaft 085 and passes through sliding seat 861 and support seat 081 in sequence. Limiting post 814 is located within mounting position 813, and sliding seat 861 is located within mounting position 813 and slidably connected to limiting post 814. Two limiting holes 8611 are provided on limiting post 814. The moving part 862 is sewn into a ring structure by a belt, and a first through hole 8612 in a flat shape is provided on the sliding seat 861 for the moving part 862 to pass through, and a second through hole 815 in a flat shape is provided on the support seat 081 for the moving part 862 to pass through, and the second through hole 815 is connected to the mounting position 813.

[0056] A reinforcement assembly 088 is disposed between the two first connecting tubes 087. The reinforcement assembly 088 includes a first rotating seat 881 sleeved on the first connecting tube 087, two second folding rods 882, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft, and a second support leg 883 for connecting the other ends of the two second folding rods 882. The two second folding rods 882 are rotatably connected to the second support leg 883. The rotation directions of the two ends of the second folding rods 882 are different to facilitate the folding of the reinforcement assembly 088. The reinforcement assembly 088 can be arranged as needed. For example, the present invention can be provided with two sets, and the two sets are arranged side by side. The second support leg 883 is provided with a U-shaped mounting groove for mounting the second folding rod 882 to facilitate the rotational connection of the second folding rod 882. A cylindrical support portion is provided below the second support leg 883. When the folding bed is unfolded, the lower end surface of the foot connecting seat is flush or substantially flush with the lower end surface of the second support leg 883.

[0057] In summary, the foot connecting seat of the present invention is provided with a spacing of 5-6.6cm between the first through hole and the second through hole. Therefore, when folded, the highest point of the support seat or the support portion is lower than the upper connecting portion or the upper foot connecting piece, which can provide better protection for the support seat or the support portion. In addition, the foot connecting seat of the present invention is directly integrally formed with a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is provided with a third through hole for passing through. Compared with the solution using a gasket, it is more cost-effective, and no gasket is required during installation, which is relatively simple to operate. At the same time, the connecting device of the present invention is used to install the first folding seat and the second folding seat by providing a first connecting shaft. At the same time, the first folding seat and the second folding seat can hook the second connecting shaft. When unfolding, the support seat can be directly pressed down. When folding, the support seat can be lifted up to achieve quick folding.

[0058] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
