Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bed rails, and in particular to bed rail reinforcing fasteners. Background Technology

[0002] For safety reasons, common bunk beds usually have guardrails installed around the upper bunk.

[0003] Traditional guardrail structures consist of several horizontally extending bars spaced vertically, with a vertical beam welded to the middle of each bar for reinforcement. However, this results in a monolithic, non-removable structure, requiring significant packaging space, leading to low space utilization and increased transportation costs. Existing designs also incorporate horizontal perforations in the beam, allowing the bars to pass through and connect to it. This makes the beam and bars detachable, but the movable perforations create gaps between the beam and bars, causing shaking and noise during use, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the bed rail fixing structure disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220459018U proposes a method where male and second fasteners interlock at the middle of each crossbar to secure them. Furthermore, the male and second fasteners can be detached and placed separately to improve space utilization, save transportation space, and reduce transportation costs. However, in this solution, the uppermost fastener needs to secure the top crossbar, making it easy for users to touch the protruding fastener during getting in and out of bed. This results in a poor tactile experience and an unattractive appearance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bed rail reinforcement fastener to ensure the rail is stable and easy to disassemble and transport, while reducing shaking and abnormal noise, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the rail's aesthetic appearance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0007] Bed rail reinforcement fasteners, including a first fastener and a second fastener;

[0008] The first fastener and the second fastener fasten to each other on the crossbars below the top crossbar of the bed rail, and form fastening grooves that tightly cover the longitudinal sides of each crossbar below the top crossbar, and form vertically extending connecting posts between each fastening groove.

[0009] The tops of both the first and second fasteners are inserted and fixed into the insertion holes provided on the bottom surface of the top crossbar of the bed guardrail.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the first fastener and / or the second fastener has a vertically extending insertion portion that inserts into the socket and a laterally protruding abutment portion that abuts against the edge of the top crossbar socket.

[0011] Furthermore, the top crossbar is a hollow rod; one of the first fastener and the second fastener has the insertion part and the abutment part at its top, and the other has a limiting part that is inserted into the insertion hole and protrudes laterally, while the limiting part is located above the edge of the insertion hole of the top crossbar.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower surface of the limiting part is an arc-shaped surface that fits into the inner wall of the top crossbar.

[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second fasteners include a plurality of fastening parts spaced vertically apart. Each fastening part of the first and second fasteners is connected vertically by a connecting part to form a whole. After the first and second fasteners are fastened together, each fastening part simultaneously engages with each other to form the horizontally connected fastening groove. The two oppositely fastened fastening parts tightly cover the longitudinal sides of the crossbar. And each connecting part engages with each other to form the connecting post.

[0014] Furthermore, the first fastener and the second fastener are connected and locked to the reinforced fastener after being fastened using a number of connecting screws; the connecting screws are respectively locked to each fastener and / or each connecting part.

[0015] Furthermore, the first fastener is provided with a plurality of connecting through holes, and the second fastener is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, with each connecting through hole and threaded hole correspondingly provided on each fastener and / or each connecting part.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting through holes and threaded holes are provided in each buckle, while the crossbar is provided with a clearance hole that extends laterally and allows the connecting screw to pass through.

[0017] Furthermore, the second fastener has a protruding post on its buckle portion that faces the connecting through hole of the first fastener. The protruding post passes through the relief hole and has the threaded hole inside.

[0018] Furthermore, after the first fastener and the second fastener are fastened together, the connecting parts are pressed tightly together to form the connecting post.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second fasteners of the bed rail reinforcement fasteners are installed in the middle of each crossbar of the bed rail, replacing the original central beam structure to support and connect the crossbars, ensuring that the crossbars do not wobble and improving the stability of the bed rail. Because the first and second fasteners are detachably interlocked, both the bed rail and the reinforcement fasteners can be disassembled and placed separately during packaging and transportation, and the crossbars can be disassembled to save transportation space. Even if the crossbars are not detachable, the reinforcement fasteners can still be removed, creating a narrow space between the crossbars for placing bed legs (posters) and other accessories, effectively saving packaging space. Furthermore, since the first and second fasteners are fastened together, each fastening groove tightly covers each crossbar, which can prevent wobbling, improve structural stability, and prevent abnormal noise. Moreover, the top of the reinforcing fastener of this utility model is inserted into the bottom of the top crossbar of the bed rail for fixation, ensuring that the upper surface of the crossbar at the top of the bed rail for the user to hold onto is smooth and without protrusions, so that the user's hands are not obstructed, ensuring the feel of use and improving the appearance of the bed rail.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the bed rail reinforcement fastener 100 of this embodiment includes a first fastener 10 and a second fastener 20.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 fasten to each other on the crossbars 31 below the top crossbar 31 of the bed rail 30, and form fastening grooves 1 that tightly cover the longitudinal sides of each crossbar 31 below the top crossbar 31, with vertically extending connecting posts 2 forming between each fastening groove 1; as shown Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tops of the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are both inserted and fixed into the insertion holes 32 provided on the bottom surface of the top crossbar 31 of the bed guardrail 30.

[0031] This embodiment uses the guardrail 30 for upper and lower bunks as an example, but it can also be used for non-upper and lower bunk structures such as hospital beds.

[0032] Therefore, the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 of the reinforcing fastener 100 of the bed rail 30 are installed in the middle of each crossbar 31 of the bed rail 30, replacing the original central beam structure to support and connect each crossbar 31, ensuring that each crossbar 31 does not wobble and improving the stability of the bed rail 30. Since the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are detachably interlocked, both the bed rail 30 and the reinforcing fastener 100 can be disassembled and placed separately during packaging and transportation, and each crossbar 31 can be disassembled to save transportation space. Even if the crossbars 31 are not detachable, the reinforcing fastener 100 can still be removed, creating a narrow space between each crossbar 31 for placing bed legs (posters) and other accessories, effectively saving packaging space. Furthermore, since the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are fastened together, each fastening groove 1 tightly covers each crossbar 31, preventing swaying and improving structural stability. It also prevents abnormal noise. Moreover, in this embodiment, the top of the reinforcing fastener 100 is inserted into the bottom of the top crossbar 31 of the bed rail 30 for fixation, ensuring that the upper surface of the crossbar 31 at the top of the bed rail 30 for the user to hold onto is smooth and without protrusions, so that the user's hands are not obstructed, ensuring a good feel and improving the appearance of the bed rail 30.

[0033] See Figure 6 and Figure 7The top of the first fastener 10 and / or the second fastener 20 has a vertically extending insertion portion 3 that inserts into the insertion hole 32 and a laterally protruding abutment portion 4 that abuts against the edge of the insertion hole 32 of the top crossbar 31. This allows the top of the reinforcing fastener 100 to be inserted, fixed, and support the top crossbar 31.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top crossbar 31 is a hollow rod; the insertion hole 32 can connect to the interior of the crossbar 31.

[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the first fastener 10 has the insertion part 3 and the abutment part 4, while the top of the second fastener 20 may have a limiting part 5 that is inserted into the insertion hole 32 and protrudes laterally, and the limiting part 5 is located above the edge of the insertion hole 32 of the top crossbar 31.

[0036] Therefore, during installation, the top limiting part 5 of the second fastener 20 can be inserted into the socket 32 ​​first, and the limiting hook can be placed inside the horizontal tube, making installation relatively convenient. Then, the insertion part 3 of the first fastener 10 is also inserted into the socket 32, and the abutment part 4 is supported below the socket 32 ​​to provide a certain support. Then, the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are fastened together to cover the lower horizontal bars 31. Since the insertion part 3 and the limiting part 5 are both inserted into the socket 32, the top of the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 can be tightly fitted and fixed to the horizontal bars 31, preventing the top horizontal bars 31 from shaking.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower surface 51 of the limiting part 5 can be an arc-shaped surface that fits against the inner wall of the top crossbar 31 to enhance the anti-sway effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, a plug-in portion 3 and abutment portion 4 are provided on the top of the first fastener 10, and a limiting portion 5 is provided on the top of the second fastener 20. In practical applications, a plug-in portion 3 and abutment portion 4 may also be provided on the top of the second fastener 20, while a limiting portion 5 may be provided on the top of the first fastener 10, or a plug-in portion 3 and abutment portion 4 may be provided on the top of both the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 without a limiting portion 5, etc. The specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 include a plurality of fastening parts 6 arranged vertically at intervals. Each fastening part 6 of the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 is connected vertically by a connecting part 7 to form a whole. After the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are fastened to each other, each fastening part 6 simultaneously engages with each other to form the horizontally connected fastening groove 1. The two oppositely engaged fastening parts 6 tightly cover the longitudinal sides of the crossbar 31. Each connecting part 7 engages with each other to form the connecting post 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are connected and locked to the reinforced fastener 100 after being fastened using a plurality of connecting screws 8; the connecting screws 8 are respectively locked onto each fastener part 6 and / or each connecting part 7. By locking the connecting screws 8, the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 can be firmly locked, and the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 can tightly hug each crossbar 31, thereby effectively improving the overall structural strength of the bed rail 30, further avoiding abnormal noise, and improving stability.

[0041] The first fastener 10 is provided with a plurality of connecting through holes 61, and the second fastener 20 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 62. Each connecting through hole 61 and threaded hole 62 is respectively provided on each fastener part 6 and / or each connecting part 7.

[0042] In this embodiment, the example is that both the connecting through hole 61 and the threaded hole 62 are provided in the buckle part 6, but this is not a limitation.

[0043] Since the connecting through hole 61 and threaded hole 62 are provided in each buckle 6, a clearance hole 33 extending laterally and allowing the connecting screw 8 to pass through can be provided on the crossbar 31. This ensures that the buckle groove 1 of the buckle 6 can firmly fasten the crossbar 31.

[0044] Furthermore, the second fastener 20 may have a protruding post 63 on its buckle portion 6, which faces the connecting through hole 61 of the first fastener 10. The protruding post 63 passes through the relief hole 33 and has the threaded hole 62 inside. Thus, during installation, each protruding post 63 can be quickly inserted into each relief hole 33 to complete the positioning and facilitate the alignment and fastening of each connecting screw 8.

[0045] In this embodiment, after the first fastener 10 and the second fastener 20 are fastened together, each connecting part 7 can be a long strip plate and tightly fitted together to form the connecting post 2. The tightly fitted connecting parts 7 improve the overall structural stability and strength of the reinforced structure and facilitate manufacturing.
