Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to an infant care structure. [Background Technology]
[0002] Baby care structures are products used to care for infants. A common example is a changing table, where adults can place the baby on it for diaper changes, dressing, and other tasks. Currently, most changing table-style baby care structures on the market can be unfolded or folded, but their structures vary considerably. Therefore, this invention provides a baby care structure that differs from existing technologies. [Utility Model Content]
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a simple, easy-to-fold, and smooth baby care structure.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An infant care structure, movable from an unfolded position to a folded position after a locking device is unlocked, includes a first support frame and a second support frame that can be unfolded or folded together. The first support frame includes two spaced-apart first support rods, and the second support frame includes two spaced-apart second support rods. The first and second support rods on the same side intersect each other and are rotatably connected at the intersection. A first flat support frame that can be rotatably unfolded or folded relative to the upper part of the first support frame is hinged to the upper part of the second support frame, and a second flat support frame that can be rotatably unfolded or folded relative to the upper part of the second support frame is also hinged to the upper part of the second flat support frame. The first and second flat support frames are also hinged to each other. When the infant care structure is in the unfolded position, the first and second flat support frames unfold to form a support for supporting the infant. The locking device is disposed between the first and second flat support frames. A shelf that can be unfolded or folded relative to the second support frame is also connected to the second support frame.
[0006] The first flat support frame includes two spaced-apart first flat support rods, with the first flat support rods on the same side hinged to the first support rods. A first crossbar connecting the two first flat support rods is provided between them. The second flat support frame includes two spaced-apart second flat support rods, with the second flat support rods on the same side hinged to the second support rods. A second crossbar connecting the two second flat support rods is provided between them. The second flat support rods on the same side are hinged to the first flat support rods. The locking device is located between the first crossbar and the second crossbar.
[0007] The locking device includes a fixed base fixedly connected to the middle of the first crossbar. The fixed base has a protruding block protruding to one side. The fixed base has a sliding block that can slide relative to it. One side of the sliding block has a latch that can cooperate with the protruding block to form a latch when it extends out of the fixed base. When the baby care structure is in the unfolded position, the latch is engaged with the second crossbar. The other side of the sliding block has a handle exposed on the fixed base. The fixed base also has a return spring that can push the sliding block to slide back to its original position.
[0008] The latch is provided with an inclined surface that can abut against the second crossbar. When the baby care structure is unfolded, the inclined surface contacts and presses against the second crossbar, allowing the sliding block to slide within the fixed seat.
[0009] The second flat support rod and the second crossbar are U-shaped integral structures formed by bending cylindrical tubes. Multiple crossbars are also provided between the two second flat support rods. When the baby care structure is in the unfolded position, the second flat support frame extends into the inside of the two first flat support rods and locks with the first flat support frame.
[0010] The first support frame and the second support frame are both U-shaped integral structures formed by bending cylindrical tubes, and the open ends of the first support frame and the second support frame are provided with rollers that can roll on the ground.
[0011] The lower part of the first support frame is provided with a first connecting rod connecting two first support rods, and the lower part of the second support frame is provided with a second connecting rod connecting two second support rods.
[0012] The shelf includes a sliding sleeve that can slide along a second support rod. A support frame that can rotate relative to the sliding sleeve is hinged to the sliding sleeve. A connecting rod that is hinged between the support frame and the second support rod is provided. A locking mechanism is provided between the sliding sleeve and the second support rod.
[0013] The support frame includes a U-shaped frame, the open end of which is hinged to a sliding sleeve, and a horizontal bar inside the frame, which together with the frame form a storage opening for placing items.
[0014] The locking mechanism includes a locking element located inside the second support rod. The locking element includes a V-shaped spring piece, one end of which has a spring bead extending out of the second support rod. The sliding sleeve has a locking hole that can engage or disengage with the spring bead.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: When the baby care structure of this utility model is in the unfolded position, the first support frame and the second support frame unfold relative to each other, and the first flat support frame and the second flat support frame unfold relative to the first support frame and the second support frame to form a support member. After a cloth cover is placed on the first flat support frame and the second flat support frame, the baby can be placed on the first flat support frame and the second flat support frame to perform diaper changing, dressing and other care operations. The shelf on the second support frame is also in the unfolded state. The shelf can be used to hang baby clothes, etc., and a water basin can also be placed on the shelf. The user can use a towel to wipe the baby with water. In addition, a flexible cloth bag can be connected to the shelf for storing diapers and other items. When the baby care frame is folded, the shelf is first folded onto the second support frame, and then the first flat support frame and the second flat support frame rotate relative to each other. During this process, the first flat support frame rotates and folds relative to the first support frame, and the second flat support frame rotates and folds relative to the second support frame, and the first support frame and the second support frame also rotate and fold. Therefore, the structure of the entire baby care structure is very simple and can meet the user's baby care needs. When folding, simply fold the shelf first, and then push down the first flat support frame and the second flat support frame to connect after the locking device is unlocked. The folding operation is simple and quick, and the folding is smooth. [Attached Image Description]

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an infant care structure has an unfolded position and a folded position. When unfolded, it is used for infant care, such as placing the infant on it for diaper changing or dressing. When folded, it is convenient for storage. The infant care structure is locked in the unfolded position by a locking device 6. When the locking device 6 is unlocked, the infant care structure can be moved from the unfolded position to the folded position.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the infant care structure in this embodiment includes a first support frame 1 and a second support frame 2 that can be unfolded or folded together. The lower ends of the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 can be supported on the ground. For ease of manufacturing, both the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are U-shaped integral structures formed by bending cylindrical tubular parts. Furthermore, both the open ends of the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are equipped with rollers 8 that can roll on the ground, thus facilitating the movement of the infant care structure. In addition, the lower part of the first support frame 1 is provided with a first connecting rod 12 connecting two first support rods 11, and the lower part of the second support frame 2 is provided with a second connecting rod 22 connecting two second support rods 21, to enhance the structural strength of the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first support frame 1 includes two spaced-apart first support rods 11, and the second support frame 2 includes two spaced-apart second support rods 21. The first support rods 11 and 21 on the same side intersect each other and are rotatably connected at the intersection. A first flat support frame 3, which can be rotated and unfolded or folded relative to the upper part of the first support frame 1, is hinged to the upper part of the second support frame 2, and a second flat support frame 4, which can be rotated and unfolded or folded relative to the upper part of the second support frame 2. The first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 are also hinged to each other. When the infant care structure is in the unfolded position, the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 unfold to form a support member 5 for supporting the infant. After a cloth cover is placed on the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4, the infant can be placed on the support member 5 for care. After the locking device 6 is unlocked, simply push down the hinged position of the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 to bring the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 closer to the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2, and the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 also move closer to each other, thereby achieving folding. The folding operation is very convenient and flexible.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the locking device 6 is disposed between the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second support frame 2 is also connected to a shelf 7 that can be unfolded or folded relative to it. The shelf 7 can be used to place items, such as hanging baby clothes, placing a water basin on it for wiping and washing the baby with a damp towel, or attaching a flexible cloth bag (not shown) to it for storing diapers and other items. Therefore, the shelf 7 greatly facilitates baby care for adults.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first flat support frame 3 includes two spaced-apart first flat support rods 31. The first flat support rods 31 on the same side are hinged to the first support rod 11. A first crossbar 32 connects the two first flat support rods 31. The second flat support frame 4 includes two spaced-apart second flat support rods 41. The second flat support rods 41 on the same side are hinged to the second support rod 21. A second crossbar 42 connects the two second flat support rods 41. The second flat support rods 41 on the same side are hinged to the first flat support rod 31. The locking device 6 is located between the first crossbar 32 and the second crossbar 42. After the locking device is unlocked, pushing the first flat support rods 31 and 41 downwards causes the first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 to rotate relative to each other and move closer together. The first flat support frame 3 and the second flat support frame 4 then pull the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 to rotate relative to each other and move closer together, thereby achieving folding.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the locking device 6 includes a fixed base 61 fixedly connected to the middle of the first crossbar 32. The fixed base 61 has a protruding block 62 protruding to one side. The fixed base 61 has a sliding block 63 that can slide relative to it. One side of the sliding block 63 has a latch 65 that can cooperate with the protruding block 62 to form a latch 64 when it extends out of the fixed base 61. When the baby care structure is in the unfolded position, the latch 64 is engaged with the second crossbar 42. The other side of the sliding block 63 has a handle 66 exposed outside the fixed base 61. The fixed base 61 also has a return spring 67 that can push the sliding block 63 to slide back to its original position. When unlocking is required, the handle 66 is pulled outward, and the sliding block 63 and the latch 65 slide outward. The latch 64 formed by the latch 65 and the protruding block 62 is no longer present. At this time, pushing the first flat support 3 downward will disengage the second crossbar 42 from the fixed base 61, and the first flat support 3 and the second flat support 4 will rotate relative to each other and move closer. At this point, even if the return spring 67 pushes the sliding block 63 to reset, the latch 64 formed by the latch 65 and the protrusion 62 will no longer lock the second crossbar 42. Moreover, the fixing seat 61 is located in the middle of the first crossbar 32, so when the user needs to unlock the locking device 6 to fold the baby care structure, he / she only needs to pull the handle 66 with one hand and press down on the first flat support frame 3 with the other hand, making the folding operation very convenient and quick.
[0033] like Figure 9 As shown, the latch 65 has an inclined surface 68 that abuts against the second crossbar 42. When the baby care structure is unfolded, the inclined surface 68 contacts and presses against the second crossbar 42, allowing the sliding block 63 to slide within the fixed seat 61. During the unfolding process of the baby care structure, the second crossbar 42 contacts the inclined surface 68, which pushes the sliding block 63 to slide. Once the second crossbar 42 moves to the fully unfolded position of the second flat support frame 4, the return spring 67 pushes the sliding block 63 to return to its original position, and the latch 64 formed by the latch 65 and the protrusion 62 locks the second crossbar 42 again. Therefore, it is not necessary to pull the handle 66 when the baby care frame is unfolded, making the unfolding operation more convenient and quick.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second flat support rod 41 and the second crossbar 42 are U-shaped integral structures formed by bending cylindrical tubes. Multiple crossbars 43 are also provided between the two second flat support rods 41. When the baby care structure is in the unfolded position, the second flat support frame 4 extends into the inside of the two first flat support rods 31 and locks with the first flat support frame 3.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the shelf 7 includes a sliding sleeve 71 that can slide along the second support rod 21. A support frame 72 that can rotate relative to the sliding sleeve 71 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 71. A connecting rod 73 that is hinged between the support frame 72 and the second support rod 21 is provided. A locking mechanism 74 is provided between the sliding sleeve 71 and the second support rod 21. When the baby care structure needs to be folded, the locking mechanism 74 is unlocked first, and then the sliding sleeve 71 is slid down. At this time, the support frame 72 and the connecting rod 73 can rotate relative to the second support rod 21 and move closer to the second support rod 21, thereby realizing the folding of the shelf 7. After the shelf 7 is folded, the locking device 6 is unlocked again, thereby realizing the folding of the first support frame 1, the second support frame 2, the first flat support frame 3, and the second flat support frame 4.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 72 includes a U-shaped frame 721. The open end of the frame 721 is hinged to the sliding sleeve 71. A horizontal rod 722 is also provided inside the frame 721. The horizontal rod 722 and the frame 721 form a storage opening 723 for placing items. A water basin 9 can be placed at the storage opening 723, or a flexible cloth bag can be attached to the frame 721 and items such as diapers can be taken out and put in through the storage opening 723.
[0037] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 74 includes a locking element 741 disposed within the second support rod 21. The locking element 741 includes a V-shaped spring piece 7411, one end of which has a spring bead 7412 extending out of the second support rod 21. The sliding sleeve 71 has a locking hole 742 that can engage or disengage with the spring bead 7412. The top of the spring bead 7412 has an arc surface. When the shelf 7 needs to be folded, simply slide the sliding sleeve 71 downwards. The sliding sleeve 71 will press the arc surface of the spring bead 7412, thereby squeezing the spring bead 7412 out of the locking hole 742, thus unlocking the shelf. In this embodiment, a protrusion 75 may also be provided on the second support rod 21, and a limiting groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the upper end of the sliding sleeve 71 that can abut against the protrusion 75 to limit the unfolded position of the shelf 7.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, there are at least two locking members 741 arranged vertically along the second support rod 21. When the locking hole 742 on the sliding sleeve 71 engages with the upper locking member 741, the shelf 7 is in the unfolded state. When the locking hole 742 on the sliding sleeve 71 engages with the lower locking member 741, the shelf 7 is in the folded state. Furthermore, because the lower locking member 741 engages with the locking hole 742, the folded state of the baby care structure can be maintained, thereby preventing the baby care structure from being accidentally unfolded and facilitating the user's storage and organization of the baby care structure.
[0039] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
