Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baby crib technology, specifically to a rocking and flipping mechanism for a baby crib. Background Technology
[0002] A crib is a type of sleep furniture specifically designed for infants, typically used for newborns to babies around two years old. The structure of a crib usually includes a bed frame, bed board, mattress, and railings. The railings of a crib can prevent the baby from accidentally rolling off while sleeping, ensuring the baby's safety.
[0003] Currently, the main technical problems with baby crib rocking mechanisms on the market are as follows: Traditional manual rocking cribs rely entirely on human power, which has the following drawbacks: they require continuous force from the caregiver, making them inconvenient to use; and the rocking frequency and amplitude are difficult to maintain stably. While existing electric rocking cribs can rock automatically, they have the following shortcomings: they are entirely powered by electricity and cannot be used in the event of a power outage or motor failure; most products do not have a manual / electric switching function. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing cribs do not have a manual / electric switching function, and to provide a rocking and turning mechanism for a crib.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rocking and turning mechanism for a baby crib, comprising a rocking crib, a support, a pin, an arc-shaped rack, and a drive mechanism. The rocking crib is hinged to the support and is limited by the pin. The drive mechanism meshes with the arc-shaped rack installed at the bottom of the rocking crib, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the rocking crib to rock.
[0006] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a dual-axis motor and a gear mounted on the output end of the dual-axis motor, the gear meshing with an arc-shaped rack.
[0007] Furthermore, the shaker is provided with a limiting hole that matches the pin.
[0008] Furthermore, the maximum swing amplitude of the shaker is less than or equal to 25°.
[0009] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] Dual-mode operation, flexible and convenient
[0011] Electric mode: Dual-axis motors drive gears to rotate, achieving automatic and smooth oscillation, saving effort and increasing efficiency.
[0012] Manual mode: It can be detached from the motor and manually oscillated, adapting to different usage scenarios (such as power outages or preference for manual operation).
[0013] The mechanical design, which incorporates hinges, pin stops, and gear-rack meshing, reduces the number of complex parts, lowers the risk of failure, and reduces maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0019] See Figure 1-3 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a rocking and turning mechanism for a baby crib, which includes a rocker 1, a support 2, a pin 3, an arc-shaped rack 4, and a drive mechanism 6. Both ends of the rocker 1 are hinged to the support 2, allowing for natural rocking. The rocker 1 has limiting holes 11, and the rocker 1 is limited to the support 2 by the pin 3. The drive mechanism 6 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 4 installed at the bottom of the rocker 1, and the drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the rocker 1 to rock within a range of 25°.
[0020] The specific drive mechanism 6 includes a dual-axis motor 61 and a gear 62 installed at the output end of the dual-axis motor 61, wherein the gear 62 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 4.
[0021] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The dual-axis motor 61 starts, driving the gear 62 at its output end to rotate. The gear 62 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 4 fixed to the bottom of the shaker 1, converting the motor's rotational motion into the reciprocating arc-shaped oscillation of the shaker 1. By controlling the speed and direction of the dual-axis motor 61, the oscillation frequency and direction can be adjusted.
[0022] When the motor is not working, the rocker bed 1 can be gently pushed directly. At this time, the gear 62 and the arc-shaped rack 4 are still engaged, but passive rotation is allowed to achieve manual rocking.
[0023] When no rocking is needed, insert the pin 3 into the limit hole 11 to lock the rocker 1 in a horizontal position.
[0024] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
