Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bed structure, specifically a forward-folding Murphy bed. Background Technology

[0002] Murphy beds, also known as flip-up beds, hidden beds, or wall beds, are multifunctional pieces of furniture that achieve vertical storage by being installed on a wall. Their core function is to conceal the bed within a wardrobe or bookcase; when in use, simply flip down the cabinet door to convert it into a standard bed, primarily for space saving.

[0003] Existing Murphy beds have a complex and poorly designed structure. They typically employ a monolithic design with a fixed structure and include a wide variety of materials, leading to high manufacturing costs and low factory processing efficiency, making them unsuitable for mass production. Furthermore, the internal frame structure of Murphy beds usually only uses multiple parallel panels to reinforce the outer U-shaped frame, resulting in poor structural stability of the panels. All the pressure on the bed is directly concentrated on these panels without proper distribution, making them prone to collapse, deformation, or breakage over time, thus shortening the bed's lifespan. Therefore, the inventor has improved the structure of the Murphy bed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forward-flipping Murphy bed, which has a simple structure and reasonable design. It can distribute the pressure on the top of the bed into two parts, with the pressure being borne separately on both sides, reducing the probability of collapse, deformation or breakage after long-term use and making the overall life of the bed longer. The main frame and bed frame adopt a modular design, with fewer types of boards, which can effectively reduce manufacturing costs and improve processing efficiency, thus solving the problems mentioned in the above-mentioned technical background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forward-flipping Murphy bed, comprising a main frame and a bed frame mounted on the main frame and flipping forward on the main frame. The main frame includes two parallel side panels, both vertically positioned and connected by a soft padding. The main frame also includes a parallel top plate and a bottom plate, distributed at both ends of the soft padding and fixed to the two side panels. A first connecting member is connected to the ends of the two side panels that are close to each other. The bed frame includes an inner frame panel and a telescopic rod mounted on the inner frame panel near the main frame. The inner frame panel includes two parallel central vertical beams, with the ends of the two central vertical beams that are far apart from each other... The two side beams are equipped with matching side beams, and each side beam is fixed with a second connector at one end near the main frame. The two second connectors are located at the ends of the two side beams that are far apart from each other. The matching vertical beams are connected to the side beams by multiple horizontal beams and multiple ribs. The horizontal beams and ribs are spaced apart. There are two telescopic rods, one end of which is installed on the two second connectors, and the other end is connected to the two first connectors. Multiple door panels are fixed to the lower end faces of the two vertical beams and the two side beams. The door panels are horizontally arranged to support the whole structure composed of the vertical beams, side beams, horizontal beams and ribs, making it a whole and ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0006] Preferably, an upper tie rod is fixed to the lower end face of the top plate, a lower tie rod is fixed to the upper end face of the bottom plate, and a foot strip is fixed to the lower end face of the bottom plate. Both ends of the upper tie rod and both ends of the lower tie rod are fixed to the two side plates to reinforce the side plates.

[0007] Preferably, the first connecting member includes a fixed plate and connecting seats and a fixed rod respectively fixed to both ends of the fixed plate. The end of the fixed rod away from the fixed plate is fixed with a fixed rod. The structure of the second connecting member is the same as that of the limiting rod. The second connecting member and the limiting rod are respectively used to connect to both ends of the telescopic rod, so that the telescopic rod can be smoothly flipped and extended. A corresponding shaft is installed on the side plate. The shaft is connected to the connecting seat, so that the fixed plate can be flipped on one side of the side plate with the shaft on the connecting seat.

[0008] Preferably, each rib strip has a sleeve fixed at both ends. The two sleeves are fixed to the central vertical beam and the side beam, respectively. The end of the sleeve near the rib strip has an internal hollow cavity structure. The rib strip is inserted into the cavity of the sleeve and fixed thereto.

[0009] Preferably, a side crossbar is fixed at the ends of the two side beams that are far apart from each other, and one of the side crossbars is located at the end of the two side beams that is closer to the main frame, and two U-shaped headboard wire rods are fixed on the side crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, the inner frame panel also includes four corner plates, which are distributed between the two side beams. Each corner plate is used to connect a side beam and a side crossbar to enhance the stability of the side beam and the side crossbar.

[0011] Preferably, the bed frame also includes a foot link, with support legs fixed at both ends of the foot link. The two support legs are fixed to the ends of the two side beams away from the main frame, and both support legs are in direct contact with the ground to support the entire bed frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model provides a forward-flipping Murphy bed, which includes a main frame and a bed frame mounted on the main frame and flipping forward on the main frame. The overall structure is simple and reasonably designed. The bed frame includes an inner frame panel and telescopic rods mounted on the inner frame panel near the main frame. The inner frame panel includes two parallel central vertical beams. Each of the two central vertical beams has a matching side beam at its far end. Each of the two side beams has a second connecting piece fixed at its end near the main frame. The matching central vertical beams and side beams are connected by multiple central horizontal bars and multiple rib strips. Two telescopic rods are provided, and one end of each telescopic rod is respectively installed on two second connecting pieces. The two central vertical beams and... Multiple door panels are fixed to the lower end of the two side beams. These door panels are horizontally arranged to support the entire structure consisting of the central vertical beam, side beams, central horizontal beams, and rib strips, making it a unified whole. By setting multiple rib strips between the central vertical beam and the side beams, each rib strip is connected to the central vertical beam and side beams through sleeves at both ends, rather than being directly connected to the central vertical beam and side beams. This effectively strengthens the structural stability of the central vertical beam and side beams. Furthermore, the two sets of central vertical beams and side beams can distribute the pressure above the bed frame into two parts, with the pressure borne separately on both sides. This reduces the probability of collapse, deformation, or breakage after long-term use, making the overall lifespan of the bed frame longer and more practical.

[0014] 2. The main frame of this utility model includes two parallel side panels, both of which are placed vertically and connected by a soft padding. The main frame also includes a parallel top plate and a bottom plate, which are distributed at both ends of the soft padding and are fixed to the two side panels. An upper pull strip is fixed to the lower end of the top plate, a lower pull strip is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate, and a foot strip is fixed to the lower end of the bottom plate. A first connector is connected to the end of each side panel that is close to each other. Thus, the main frame adopts a modular design. Similarly, the bed frame also adopts a modular design. The main structure of the bed frame only includes a central vertical beam, side beams, central horizontal beams, rib strips, a base, and horizontal beams. The types of boards are fewer, which can effectively reduce manufacturing costs and improve processing efficiency in the factory. It is suitable for large-scale production and widespread use.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this utility model is a forward-flipping Murphy bed, which includes a main frame 1 and a bed frame 2 disposed on the main frame 1 and flipped forward on the main frame 1. The flipping range of the bed frame 2 is between 0° and 90°.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 The main frame 1 includes two parallel side plates 11, both of which are placed vertically and connected by a soft padding 12. The main frame 1 also includes a parallel top plate 13 and a bottom plate 14, which are located at both ends of the soft padding 12 and are fixed to the two side plates 11. The fixing method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. An upper tie rod 16 is fixed to the lower end of the top plate 13, and a lower tie rod 17 is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate 14. A foot strip 15 is fixed to the lower end of the bottom plate 14. Both ends of the upper tie rod 16 and the lower tie rod 17 are fixed to the two side plates 11 to reinforce the side plates 11. In actual use, the foot strip 15 is in contact with the ground to support the main frame 1 as a whole.

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 2The bed frame 2 includes an inner frame plate 21, which includes two parallel central vertical beams 211. Each of the two central vertical beams 211 has a corresponding side beam 212 at its far-away end. Thus, the central vertical beams 211 and the side beams 212 form two groups, located on opposite sides of the overall structure. This disperses the pressure on the bed frame 2 into two parts, allowing the pressure to be borne separately on both sides, reducing the probability of collapse, deformation, or breakage after long-term use and extending the overall lifespan of the bed. Each of the two side beams 212 has a second connector 217 fixed at its far-away end near the main frame 1. The two second connectors 217 are located at the far-away ends of the two side beams 212. The cooperating central vertical beams 211 and side beams 212... The components are connected by multiple horizontal strips 213 and multiple rib strips 214, which are spaced apart. Multiple door panels 23 are fixed to the lower end faces of the two vertical beams 211 and the two side beams 212. The multiple door panels 23 are all horizontally arranged to support the whole structure composed of the vertical beams 211, side beams 212, horizontal strips 213 and rib strips 214, making it a whole and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. A side horizontal strip 216 is fixed at the ends of the two side beams 212 that are far apart from each other. One of the side horizontal strips 216 is located at the end of the two side beams 212 that is closer to the main frame 1, and two U-shaped headboard wire rods 218 are fixed on the side horizontal strip 216.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 Two telescopic rods 22 are provided at one end of the inner frame plate 21 near the main frame 1. One end of the two telescopic rods 22 is respectively installed on two second connectors 217. A first connector 18 is connected to the two side plates 11 at their close ends. The other ends of the two telescopic rods 22 are respectively connected to the two first connectors 18. The inner frame plate 21 also includes four corner plates 219. The four corner plates 219 are distributed between two side beams 212. Each corner plate 219 is used to connect a side beam 212 and a side crossbar 216 to enhance the stability of the side beam 212 and the side crossbar 216.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 The bed frame 2 also includes a foot link 24, with support legs 25 fixed at both ends of the foot link 24. The two support legs 25 are respectively fixed to the ends of the two side beams 212 away from the main frame 1. Both support legs 25 are in direct contact with the ground to support the entire bed frame 2.

[0030] Please see Figure 5The first connecting member 18 includes a fixing plate 181 and connecting seats 182 and fixing rods 183 respectively fixed to both ends of the fixing plate 181. The end of the fixing rod 183 away from the fixing plate 181 is fixed with a fixing rod 183. The structure of the second connecting member 217 is the same as that of the limiting rod 184. The second connecting member 217 and the limiting rod 184 are respectively used to connect to both ends of the telescopic rod 22, so that the telescopic rod 22 can be smoothly flipped and extended. The structure of the telescopic rod 22 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In addition, a corresponding shaft is installed on the side plate 11. The shaft is connected to the connecting seat 182, so that the fixing plate 181 can be flipped on one side of the side plate 11 with the shaft on the connecting seat 182.

[0031] Please see Figure 6 Each rib 214 has a sleeve 215 fixed at both ends. The two sleeves 215 are fixed to the central vertical beam 211 and the side beam 212, respectively. The end of the sleeve 215 near the rib 214 is a hollow cavity structure. The rib 214 is inserted into the cavity of the sleeve 215 and fixed thereto. The fixing method is the existing technology. In this embodiment, bolts are used for fixing. Each rib 214 is connected to the central vertical beam 211 and the side beam 212 through the sleeves 215 at both ends, instead of directly connecting the rib 214 to the central vertical beam 211 and the side beam 212. Therefore, it effectively strengthens the structural stability of the central vertical beam 211 and the side beam 212. In addition, the two sets of central vertical beams 211 and side beams 212 can distribute the pressure above the bed frame 2 into two parts, with the pressure being borne separately on both sides. This reduces the probability of collapse, deformation or breakage after long-term use, and the overall lifespan is longer.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
