[0021] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a crib that is easy to store. Its structural design fully considers the needs for classifying and temporarily hanging items such as clothes, towels, and toys in the daily care of infants. Through the setting of integrated and adjustable structure, the crib realizes space expansion and operation convenience during use.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the crib includes: a bed frame 11, a storage platform 12, a support column assembly 13, a guide rail 2, a first support frame 3, a second support frame 4, a connector 5, a roller assembly 16, and an adjustment and locking component 15, etc.

[0024] The bed frame 11 is the upper main body of the crib, providing a platform for the baby to sleep or play. The bed frame 11 can be square or oval in shape, and is equipped with safety railings to prevent the baby from rolling over and falling, ensuring safety. Below the bed frame 11 is a storage platform 12, which can be fixed or pull-out. This platform is mainly used to store diapers, baby clothes, feeding supplies, and other items, maximizing space utilization and effectively alleviating the problem of clutter accumulating around the crib.

[0025] A support column assembly 13 is installed between the supporting bed frame 11 and the ground. The support column assembly 13 includes an outer tube and an inner tube, which form a telescopic structure. One end of the inner tube has multiple height positioning holes 14. The height of the bed frame 11 can be adjusted in multiple positions by means of adjusting locking parts 15 (such as pins or bolts) passing through the positioning holes 14. This structure allows the crib to adapt to the operating habits of users of different heights, improving the convenience of care, and is especially suitable for scenarios such as maternity centers and families with multiple members taking turns to care for the baby.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, to further enhance the storage capacity of the crib, a guide rail 2 is fixedly installed vertically on at least one side of the support column assembly 13. The guide rail 2 is a strip-shaped structure extending along the column assembly, with several fixing holes 6 evenly distributed on both sides. Positioning elements 7 on the fixing holes 6 switch the sliding or positioning state of the connecting element 5 on the guide rail 2. A first support frame 3 and a second support frame 4 are slidably mounted on the guide rail 2, and are connected to each other by a hinge, with the hinge point being its rotation center. The opposite ends of the first support frame 3 and the second support frame 4 are respectively connected to the guide rail 2 by connecting elements 5. The connecting element 5 includes a sliding part 51 that can be fitted inside the guide rail 2, and a connecting part 52 that connects to the support frame. A pivot pin can be provided at the connecting part 52 to achieve a rotatable connection.

[0027] In practical use, users can unfold the first and second support frames 4 to a preset angle to form a stable V-shaped or A-shaped structure, thereby providing support space for hanging baby clothes, blankets, towels, and other items. After the hanging needs are completed, the two support frames can slide back along the guide rail 2 to the storage position, and the hinges rotate, with the structure fitting against the outer wall of the support column assembly 13, thus achieving compact storage of the overall structure, saving space, and avoiding interference from protruding parts to the baby's activities.

[0028] To achieve good stability, the support frame structure may also include reinforcement with swing rods 9 and connecting rods 8. Specifically, two parallel swing rods 9 are set between the first and second support frames 4, and a connecting rod 8 is strung between the swing rods 9 to form a rectangular support frame, enhancing the torsional and bending resistance in the unfolded state. This design ensures structural stability when hanging heavy clothing or wet towels, preventing swaying or deformation.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, at the bottom of the crib, the lower end of the support column assembly 13 is equipped with a caster assembly 16, which includes at least two casters to facilitate movement of the crib between different areas of the room. Each caster is also equipped with an independent brake mechanism to lock the crib in place during use, preventing unnecessary slippage and ensuring safety.

[0030] In addition, to improve ease of use, auxiliary structures can be provided in this embodiment. For example, one side of the bed frame 11 can be provided with foldable or pull-out small hooks, small platforms and other components to further expand the functions of use, such as temporarily placing light items such as baby bottles, mobile phones, towels and so on, to enhance the nursing experience.

[0031] In summary, this utility model integrates key functional components such as an adjustable height support assembly, a side guide rail 2 hanging structure, and a roller movement system into a traditional crib structure, achieving partitioned storage and hanging of baby products while offering advantages such as flexible adjustment and high space utilization. The overall structure is reasonable, stable, and easy to use, making it particularly suitable for baby care scenarios with limited space and frequent operations.

[0032] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
