[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a hidden caster, including a base frame 1, casters 2 and a bed frame 3. The base frame 1 is a frame structure, and a caster 2 is installed at each of the four corners of the base frame 1. The casters 2 slide with the base frame 1 in the height direction.
[0029] Bed frame 3 is mounted on base frame 1 in a height adjustable manner.
[0030] When the bed frame 3 is lowered, the bottom of the bed frame 3 can contact the top of the caster 2, and the bed frame 3 can drive the caster 2 to slide downward relative to the base frame 1. The bottom of the caster 2 extends from the bottom of the base frame 1, which facilitates the movement of the base frame 1.
[0031] When the bed frame 3 rises, the casters 2 separate from the bed frame 3. The casters 2 can slide upward relative to the base frame 1 into the interior of the base frame 1. The base frame 1 moves downward and contacts the ground. At this time, the base frame 1 is immovable. Meanwhile, the casters 2 are hidden by the base frame 1, which does not affect the aesthetics.
[0032] In a relatively specific embodiment, it also includes two rotating frames 4 and a support frame 5.
[0033] Two rotating frames 4 are symmetrically distributed and rotated on the base frame 1 in the left and right directions. The bottom of the rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to the base frame 1, and the top of the rotating frame 4 is slidably connected to the bed frame 3. The rotating frame 4 and the bed frame 3 are in lateral sliding cooperation. When the two rotating frames 4 rotate upward at the same time, they drive the bed frame 3 to move upward. When the two rotating frames 4 rotate downward at the same time, they drive the bed frame 3 to move downward, thus realizing the lifting and lowering of the bed frame 3.
[0034] The bottom of the support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the center of the rotating frame 4, and the top of the support frame 5 is rotatably connected to the outside of the bed frame 3. The rotating frame 4 and the support frame 5 stably support the bed frame 3 above the base frame 1.
[0035] In a relatively specific embodiment, the base frame 1 includes a sleeve 6, which is fixedly installed at the four corners of the base frame 1. The caster 2 is sleeved in the sleeve 6, and the sleeve 6 and the caster rod 2-1 slide in the height direction.
[0036] When the two rotating frames 4 rotate downwards at the same time, the bed frame 3 descends, the bottom surface of the bed frame 3 contacts the top of the caster 2, the caster 2 slides downwards relative to the base frame 1, and the bottom of the caster 2 extends out from the sleeve 6.
[0037] When both rotating frames 4 rotate upwards simultaneously, the bed frame 3 rises and separates from the casters 2. The casters 2 slide upwards inside the sleeve 6, and the bottom surface of the sleeve 6 contacts the ground. The base frame 1 does not directly contact the ground, thus avoiding friction between the base frame 1 and the ground. At the same time, the casters 2 can be better hidden by the sleeve 6.
[0038] In a relatively specific embodiment, a caster rod 2-1 is fixedly provided on the top of the caster 2. The caster 2 is slidably engaged with the sleeve 6 in the height direction. A spring 7 is provided between the caster rod 2-1 and the sleeve 6. When the bed frame 3 descends, the bottom surface of the bed frame 3 contacts the top surface of the caster rod 2-1, the caster rod 2-1 moves downward, the spring 7 is compressed, the bottom of the caster 2 extends out from the bottom of the sleeve, the base frame 1 moves upward relative to the caster 2, and the bottom surface of the bed frame 3 contacts the bed frame 3.
[0039] When the bed frame 3 rises, the bed frame 3 separates from the caster rod 2-1, and the spring 7 rebounds, making it easier for the caster 2 to move upward into the sleeve 6 and be hidden by the sleeve 6.
[0040] The top of the caster rod 2-1 is fitted with a washer 2-3 that can be supported by the sleeve 6. The top of the washer 2-3 is provided with a nut 2-2 that is threaded to the top of the caster rod 2-1. By rotating the nut 2-2, the distance between the nut 2-2 and the caster 2 can be adjusted, so that the length of the caster 2 can be adjusted longitudinally. This allows the caster 2 to be adjusted to a suitable length, so as to better achieve the switching between the extended and retracted states of the caster 2.
[0041] The sleeve 6 has a baffle 6-1 with a cross-section that results in a "T" shape. The caster rod 2-1 passes through the center of the baffle 6-1, and the top of the middle part of the baffle 6-1 can be supported on the pad 2-3. In this embodiment, the middle part of the baffle 6-1 is fitted into the spring 7 from bottom to top, and the middle part of the baffle directly slides with the caster rod 2-1 to maintain the stability of the caster rod 2-1.
[0042] A washer 6-2 is fitted onto the bottom end of the sleeve 6. Specifically, the washer 6-2 can be a rubber ring or other ring structure with a cushioning effect, which can support the overall base frame 1 when the caster 2 is hidden, reduce the impact between the sleeve 6 and the ground, and provide a cushioning effect.
[0043] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
