[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-shaped upright support for a folding baby crib includes an upper seat and a lower seat. The upper and lower seats are characterized by: a mounting groove 1 and a mounting groove 2 at their bottom and top, respectively; an adapter plug 1 and an adapter plug 2 within each mounting groove 1 and mounting groove 2; each adapter plug 1 and adapter plug 2 having an adapter groove; an upright being positioned between the two adapter grooves; a plurality of threaded holes 1 on the outer peripheral walls of each adapter plug 1 and adapter plug 2; each threaded hole 1 having a threaded fastening screw 1 for fixing the upright being threadedly connected to it; and threaded holes 2 on the outer peripheral walls of both the upper and lower seats; each threaded hole 2 having a threaded fastening screw 2 for fixing the adapter plug 1 and adapter plug 2 being threadedly connected to it.

[0007] The advantages of this design are at least as follows: Through the design of replaceable adapter plug one, adapter plug two, and adapter slots, the adapter slots can be customized according to the shape of the upright, achieving compatibility of the same support component with uprights of different shapes, overcoming the limitation of traditional support components that only adapt to a single shape. Adapter plug one and adapter plug two are independently fixed to the upper and lower seats via fastening screw two, forming a modular structure. Users only need to replace the adapter plug, not the entire support component, to match different uprights, greatly simplifying the adjustment process. Fastening screw one, which fixes the upright, and fastening screw two, which fixes the adapter plug, use a threaded connection; users can easily complete installation or replacement by simply turning it, without the need for professional tools or complex operations. The double screw fixing (upright and adapter plug, adapter plug and support seat) forms a double locking mechanism, preventing the upright from shaking or coming off under force, ensuring the overall stability of the crib. If the adapter plug wears out due to long-term use or changes in upright specifications, only the adapter plug needs to be replaced, without scrapping the entire support component, extending the product lifecycle. The adapter slot can be designed in various specifications (such as different sizes and shape combinations) to accommodate future new upright designs, improving the product's future compatibility. This utility model can quickly and stably adapt to uprights of various shapes such as round, square, oval, and polygonal, greatly improving the versatility of folding crib support components and meeting the diverse needs of crib products in the market.

The bottom and top of the upper seat 1 and the lower seat 2 are respectively provided with mounting groove 1 3 and mounting groove 2 4 (see reference). Figure 3 Mounting slot 3 and mounting slot 4 are respectively equipped with adapter plug 5 and adapter plug 6, and both adapter plug 5 and adapter plug 6 are equipped with adapter slots 7 (see reference). Figure 2A vertical rod 8 is provided between the two adapter slots 7. The outer peripheral walls of adapter plug 1 (5) and adapter plug 2 (6) are each provided with several threaded holes 9. Each threaded hole 9 is threaded with a fastening screw 10 for fixing the vertical rod 8. The outer peripheral walls of the upper seat 1 and lower seat 2 are each provided with threaded holes 11. Each threaded hole 11 is threaded with a fastening screw 12 for fixing adapter plug 1 (5) and adapter plug 2 (6). Through the design of replaceable adapter plug 1 (5), adapter plug 2 (6), and adapter slots 7, the adapter slots 7 can be customized according to the shape of the vertical rod 8, achieving compatibility of the same support component with vertical rods 8 of different shapes, solving the limitation of traditional support components that only adapt to a single shape. Adapter plug 1 (5) and adapter plug 2 (6) are independently fixed to the upper seat 1 and lower seat 2 by the fastening screw 12, forming a modular structure. Users only need to replace the adapter plugs, rather than the entire support component, to match different vertical rods 8, greatly simplifying the adjustment process. The first fixing screw 10 secures the upright 8, and the second fixing screw 12 secures the adapter plug via a threaded connection. Users can easily install or replace the device by simply tightening the screw, without the need for specialized tools or complex operations. The double-screw fixing (upright 8 and adapter plug, adapter plug and support base) forms a double locking mechanism, preventing the upright 8 from shaking or coming loose under stress, ensuring the overall stability of the crib. If the adapter plug wears out due to long-term use or the specifications of the upright 8 change, only the adapter plug needs to be replaced, without scrapping the entire support component, extending the product's lifespan. The adapter slot 7 can be designed in various specifications (such as different sizes and shape combinations) to accommodate future new upright 8 designs, improving future product compatibility. This invention can quickly and stably adapt to uprights 8 of various shapes, such as round, square, elliptical, and polygonal, greatly improving the versatility of the folding crib support component and meeting the diverse needs of the crib market.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, both mounting groove 3 and mounting groove 4 are provided with several guide strips 13, and the outer peripheral walls of adapter plug 5 and adapter plug 6 are provided with guide grooves 14 that are compatible with the guide strips 13. By setting the guide strips 13 and guide grooves 14, the guide strips 13 in the mounting grooves cooperate with the guide grooves 14 on the adapter plugs to provide physical guidance during installation, ensuring that the adapter plugs can be quickly and accurately aligned with the installation position. The engagement of the guide strips 13 and guide grooves 14 forms a limit, preventing adapter plugs 5 and 6 from rotating or shifting within mounting grooves 3 and 4, and avoiding the shaking of the upright 8 due to loosening of adapter plugs 5 and 6.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, both adapter slots 7 are equipped with shock-absorbing rubber pads 15. By setting the shock-absorbing rubber pads 15, the shock-absorbing rubber pads 15 can absorb the vibration energy between the upright 8 and the first and second adapter slots 7, avoid direct collision of metal parts, effectively reduce noise, and improve the comfort of the baby's sleep environment.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer peripheral walls of both adapter plug 15 and adapter plug 26 are provided with threaded holes 36 of the same size as threaded holes 21. By providing threaded holes 36, not only can the fastening screw 212 fix adapter plug 15 and adapter plug 26, but by further tightening the screw end of the fastening screw 212 into its threaded holes 36, the upright rod 8 can be fixed, forming a double guarantee.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner walls of both adapter grooves 7 are provided with several anti-slip rubber layers 17. By setting the anti-slip rubber layers 17, the anti-slip rubber layers 17 on the inner walls of the adapter grooves 7 significantly increase the friction between the contact surface with the uprights 8, preventing the uprights 8 from sliding or rotating in the adapter grooves 7, and ensuring stability, especially when the crib is rocking.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the ends of the fastening screws 10 and 12 are rounded.
