Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a guardrail for an apartment dormitory bed, specifically an apartment dormitory bed guardrail that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Dormitory beds are typically bunk beds. For safety, the upper bunk usually has a guardrail, which generally consists of a frame and a panel. The frame is mounted on the bed frame, forming a nearly rectangular area, and the panel is nested within the frame to complete the guardrail. To facilitate getting in and out, the guardrail doesn't completely obstruct the sides of the bed; an opening is left. The frame near the opening needs to be angled to increase the diameter of the opening at the top, allowing for easy access. The top of the opening also needs to be rounded to prevent bumps and knocks. Figures 1 to 2 As shown.

[0003] Therefore, the baffles inside the guardrail frame need to be machined to the same shape as the inner contour of the frame. During machining, the edges of the baffles away from the notch are straight, making machining easier and precision control easier. After machining, it's relatively easy to match the baffles to the inner contour of the frame. The edges of the baffles near the notch are beveled, with an obtuse angle at the top and an acute angle at the bottom. During machining, the angle of the beveled edge needs to be precisely controlled to ensure the baffles are smoothly nested into the frame and fixed. This requires precise machining of the baffles, increasing processing costs. The baffles are usually made of metal sheets, which have a certain degree of elasticity and ductility. When machining the obtuse angle positions of the baffles, because the angles and widths of the adjacent sides of the baffle are larger at these positions, the elastic deformation is greater. If the baffles cannot fit perfectly at the obtuse angle positions, they can be forcibly installed, allowing the baffles to deform and thus fix them to the frame. However, when machining the acute angle position of the baffle, the elastic deformation is small because the angle and width of the two adjacent sides of the baffle are small. If it cannot be perfectly fitted at this position, the deformation that occurs during forced installation cannot meet the dimensional error. If the machining accuracy is further improved, the machining cost will increase.

[0004] Furthermore, when installing existing complete baffles, there are no handholds or leverage points for installers when nesting the baffles within the frame, making installation difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems of high processing costs and difficulty in installation of existing dormitory bed rails, this utility model provides an easy-to-install dormitory bed rail.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution. According to this utility model, an easy-to-install dormitory bed rail is installed on the outer edge of a bed frame. The rail includes a frame forming a right-angled trapezoid with the bed frame. A baffle is nested within the frame, and the edge of the baffle has a folded edge. The baffle is installed on the bed frame and the frame through the folded edge. The baffle has a fan-shaped notch at the acute angle formed by the bed frame and the frame, with the center of the fan-shaped notch located at the apex of the acute angle. An arc-shaped structure is fitted onto the arc edge of the fan-shaped notch. The arc-shaped structure includes a U-shaped groove arc plate matching the arc edge. The cross-section of the U-shaped groove arc plate is a U-shaped groove. The bottom surface of the U-shaped groove has square reinforcing ribs, which include multiple reinforcing plates protruding from the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove. The reinforcing plates are spliced ​​to form a grid distributed along the arc length of the U-shaped groove arc plate. A first slot formed between the square reinforcing ribs and the inner wall of the U-shaped groove is fitted onto the arc edge, and a second slot formed at both ends of the U-shaped groove is engaged with the ends of the folded edges at both ends of the arc edge.

[0007] Furthermore, one side of the guardrail is a straight edge and is flush with one end face of the bed frame, while the other side of the guardrail is a slanted edge and is at a distance from the other end face of the bed frame, so that the outer edge of the bed frame forms a notch for easy access and entry / exit.

[0008] Furthermore, the hypotenuse of the guardrail forms an acute angle with the bed frame, and the hypotenuse of the guardrail forms an obtuse angle with the top edge of the guardrail, with rounded corners provided at the obtuse angle positions.

[0009] Furthermore, the frame is a frame made of square tubing.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with two ventilation areas, and multiple ventilation holes are distributed in the ventilation areas.

[0011] Furthermore, the arc-shaped structure is an arc-shaped structure made of an elastic material.

[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the arc-shaped structure are pressed against the frame and bed frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] A fan-shaped notch is provided at the acute angle of the bevel of the baffle, which is equivalent to providing a handhold for the installer, making it easier for the installer to hold the baffle and install it into the frame more quickly; the edge of the fan-shaped notch is set with an arc structure to prevent deformation or damage from impact, and to prevent the edge from injuring people.

[0015] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the purpose, features and advantages of this utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the following are preferred embodiments, and detailed descriptions are provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides an embodiment of an easy-to-install dormitory bed rail, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown. The guardrail is vertically installed on the outer edge of the bed frame 1 of the dormitory bed. One side of the guardrail is a straight edge, flush with one end face of the bed frame 1, while the other side is a beveled edge, with a certain distance from the other end face of the bed frame 1, creating an opening at the outer edge of the bed frame 1 for easy access. The guardrail is a right-angled trapezoid, with the beveled edge forming an acute angle with the bed frame 1 and the beveled edge forming an obtuse angle with the top edge of the guardrail. A rounded corner is provided at the obtuse angle, widening the opening at the edge of the bed frame for easier access.

[0026] The guardrail includes frames 2 located on both sides and the top edge. Frames 2 are made of square tubing and form a right-angled trapezoid with the bed frame 1. A baffle 3 is nested within the frames 2. The edges of the baffle 3 are provided with folded edges 302, and mounting holes are provided on the folded edges 302. Bolts or screws are inserted into the mounting holes of the folded edges 302 to fix the baffle 3 to the frames 2 and the bed frame 1, thereby fixing the guardrail to the bed frame 1. Two ventilation areas are provided on the baffle 3, and multiple ventilation holes 301 are distributed in the ventilation areas.

[0027] A fan-shaped notch 303 is provided at the acute angle position of the baffle 3 near the guardrail. The fan-shaped notch 303 has the vertex of the acute angle as the center and the hypotenuse of the guardrail and the top surface of the bed frame as its two sides. After providing the fan-shaped notch 303, the baffle 3 can avoid matching the acute angle position of the frame 2. If the baffle 3 matches the acute angle position of the frame 2, the elastic deformation is small because the angle and width of the adjacent two sides of the baffle 3 are small. If the baffle 3 cannot be processed perfectly at this position, there will be shape and size errors between the outer contour of the baffle 3 and the inner contour of the frame 2. Forced installation is required. The deformation of the baffle 3 during forced installation cannot meet the size error (the baffle 3 needs a certain rigidity to ensure safe use). If the processing accuracy is further improved, the processing cost will increase. This invention incorporates a fan-shaped notch 303 in the baffle 3 at this location to avoid matching the acute angle of the frame 2. The baffle 3 has a larger width and angle at the obtuse angle, making it prone to significant deformation. Even with dimensional errors at this location, when forcibly installed within the frame 2, the baffle 3 can deform considerably to match the obtuse angle of the frame 2. The straight edges of the baffle 3 are easier to process and the error is easier to control, allowing for a more precise match with the frame 2. Therefore, by setting the fan-shaped notch 303, the baffle 3 does not require a perfectly seamless process, reducing manufacturing costs without compromising the integrity of the guardrail.

[0028] The arc-shaped structure 4 is fitted around the arc edge of the fan-shaped notch 303 of the baffle 3, which increases the deformation resistance of the arc edge of the baffle 3, preventing deformation and damage, and protecting personnel from being scratched by the sharp edges of the arc edge. The function of the arc-shaped structure 4 is to protect the baffle and personnel, therefore, it can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, without needing to be made of a material with too much rigidity and strength, so as not to affect the overall strength and rigidity of the guardrail. Even if there are errors in the size and shape when installing the arc-shaped structure 4, it can still be forcibly installed on the arc edge of the fan-shaped notch 303.

[0029] The arc structure 4 includes a U-shaped groove arc plate 401. The U-shaped groove arc plate 401 is arc-shaped in general, and its arc length and angle match the arc edge of the fan-shaped notch 303. The cross-sectional shape of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401 is a U-shaped groove. The U-shaped groove arc plate 401 has a certain width and rounded corners on its edges to increase the stress area and protect the arc edge of the baffle 3 and personnel.

[0030] The U-shaped groove arc plate 401 is provided with square reinforcing ribs 402 extending along the arc length of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401. The square reinforcing ribs 402 include multiple ribs protruding from the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove. The ribs are spliced ​​to form multiple squares distributed along the arc length of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401. The square reinforcing ribs 402 can increase the overall strength of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401 and avoid reducing the elasticity of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401, making it easier to be forcibly installed on the arc edge of the baffle 3, while preventing the arc structure 4 from being easily damaged.

[0031] There is a certain gap between the outer walls of both sides of the square reinforcing rib 402 and the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, forming a first slot 403. The arc edge of the baffle 3 can be locked into the first slot 403 on either side. When installing the arc structure 4, there is no need to distinguish the direction; the first slot 403 on either side can be locked onto the arc edge, improving installation efficiency. The length of the square reinforcing rib 402 is less than the length of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401, so that the U-shaped groove at the end of the U-shaped groove arc plate 401 forms a second slot 404. While the first slot 403 is locked onto the arc edge, the second slot 404 is locked onto the ends of the folded edges 302 at both ends of the arc edge.

[0032] When processing the arc structure 4, the total length of the arc structure 4 can be designed and processed to be slightly larger than the length of the arc edge of the fan-shaped notch 303. The arc structure 4 is more prone to bending and deformation during forced installation. Since the arc structure 4 is located on the inner side of the arc edge, it is necessary to force the arc structure 4 between the inclined side of the frame 2 and the bed frame 1. The two ends of the arc structure 4 are pressed against the inclined side and the bed frame 1. At the same time, the first slot 403 is clamped on the arc edge and the second slot 404 is clamped on the folded edge 302 to realize the installation of the arc structure 4.

[0033] The installation of the arc-shaped structure 4 does not require bolts or screws; it can be fixed simply by force, resulting in rapid installation. Compared to the installation of baffles in existing technologies, although the installation process of the arc-shaped structure 4 is additional, the installation time is shorter. Furthermore, compared to the baffles in existing technologies that require precision machining or further processing and modification during installation, the overall installation of this utility model guardrail is more time-saving and cost-effective.

[0034] When installing the baffle 3, the fan-shaped notch 303 provides a handhold for the installer, making it easy to nest the baffle 3 within the frame 2. In the prior art, with a complete baffle, it is not easy for the installer to hold the baffle and apply force to accurately nest it within the frame 2. Compared with the prior art, this utility model can accurately and forcefully nest the baffle 3 within the frame 2, making installation quick.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
