When an element is said to be "attached" to another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be intermediate elements present. As used herein, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions are for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be the only means of implementation.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure.Terms used herein in describing the present disclosure are used only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 and 16, the present disclosure provides a baby bed including a main body 100, a bed frame 200, a support base 300 and a locking mechanism 400. The baby bed is configured for a child to sleep and play, can function as a cradle to facilitate soothing the child, has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the main body 100 has a box-like structure having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Of course, the shape of the main body 100 is not limited to this, and can be designed as necessary, such as an elliptical cylindrical shape. The main body 100 is configured to form a storage space for accommodating a child, so that the child can sleep and play. In this embodiment, the main body 100 is a frame structure having a rectangular parallelepiped shape formed by a plurality of support rods 110, that is, a rectangular parallelepiped frame is formed at the upper end portion of the frame structure. Two support rods 110 located on the short sides of the rectangular parallelepiped frame function as slide rods 110a. Of course, other support rods 110 forming the frame structure can also function as slide rods 110a, for example, two support rods 110 located on the long sides of the rectangular parallelepiped frame function as slide rods 110a. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the slide rod 110a is a straight rod. Of course, in other embodiments, the slide rod 110a may be an arc rod. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the slide rod 110a may be a concave arc rod bent toward the ground. Of course, the slide rod 110a may be a concave arc rod bent away from the ground, etc., and is not limited here. In addition, the frame structure may be wrapped with a fabric (not shown), and a support pad (not shown) may be provided at the bottom of the frame structure to form a child protection barrier.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the bed frame 200 is configured to support the main body 100. In this embodiment, the bed frame 200 includes two support posts 210 arranged on two short sides of the rectangular frame, respectively, and configured to support two slide rods 110a, respectively. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and positions of the support posts 210 can also be adjusted as needed. The support post 210 includes a pillar 211 and a support bracket 212 connected to each other. The support bracket 212 is arranged on the lower part of the pillar 211, and substantially forms an inverted "T" shaped structure with the pillar 211. This setting improves the support stability of the support post 210. Of course, the setting of the support post 210 is not limited to this.

[0046] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the height of both support posts 210 is adjustable. The manner of adjusting the height of the support post 210 is not limited, and for example, the support column 211 may include a first socket rod 2111, a second socket rod 2112, and a height adjustment handle 2113. The first socket rod 2111 is partially inserted into the second socket rod 2112, and the first socket rod 2111 is located below the second socket rod 2112. The first socket rod 2111 has a plurality of adjustment holes 2114 arranged in the height direction, and the height adjustment handle 2113 is provided in the second socket rod 2112 in a sleeve shape and is slidable along the second socket rod 2112. The second socket rod 2112 is provided with an adjustment pin 2115. The adjustment pin 2115 is connected to the height adjustment handle 2113 via a connecting member 2116, and the adjustment pin 2115 can be inserted into or pulled out of the adjustment hole 2114 by operating the height adjustment handle 2113. When the adjustment pin 2115 is pulled out of the adjustment hole 2114, the first socket rod 2111 and the second socket rod 2112 slide relatively to each other, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the support post 210. After adjustment at a predetermined position, the height adjustment handle 2113 can be operated so that the adjustment pin 2115 is reinserted into the adjustment hole 2114 under the action of the reset member 2117, thereby locking the first socket rod 2111 relative to the second socket rod 2112. If necessary, the heights of both support posts 210 can be adjusted simultaneously, or the height of only one support post 210 can be adjusted via the height adjustment handle 2113. When the heights of the two support posts 210 are adjusted simultaneously, the bottom of the main body 100 becomes horizontal. When the height of only one of the support posts 210 is adjusted, the bottom of the basket 100 becomes inclined, as shown in Fig. 24. In this way, multiple usage patterns can be provided to the child.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, there are two support bases 300, which are respectively fixed to the upper part of two support posts 210, that is, fixed to the ends of two columns 211 away from the corresponding support brackets 212. The support base 300 includes a support 310 and an insert part (not shown) connected to each other. An insert groove (not shown) that engages with the insert part is formed at the end of the column 211 away from the corresponding support bracket 212. The insert part is inserted into the insert groove to realize the connection between the support base 300 and the support column 210, and the support 310 is disposed at the end of the column 211 away from the corresponding support bracket 212. Of course, the number, installation position, and installation manner of the support base 300 are not limited to the above and can be adjusted according to actual requirements.

[0048] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a through passage 311 is formed in the support body 310, and the slide rod 110a extends through the through passage 311 and is capable of reciprocatingly sliding relative to the support bracket 300.

[0049] In this way, by pushing and pulling the basket 100 back and forth, the main body 100 can be swung relative to the bed frame 200, which serves to calm the child in the main body 100, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate. As shown in Fig. 10, when the slide rod 110a is a straight rod, the main body 100 can be swung back and forth in the horizontal direction. Also, as shown in Fig. 11, when the slide rod 110a is an arc rod, for example, an arc rod recessed toward the ground, the main body 100 can be swung back and forth in both the horizontal and vertical directions at the same time.

[0050] 10 and 11, the support base 300 is provided with rollers 312 that protrude into the through passage 311, and the rollers 312 abut against the slide rod 110a. In this manner, the slide rod 110a can slide more smoothly relative to the support bracket 300. In this embodiment, four rollers 312 are provided, two of which are arranged at intervals above the slide rod 110a, and the other two are arranged at intervals below the slide rod 110a, so that a smoother effect can be obtained. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and positions of the rollers 312 can be adjusted as necessary.

[0051] 15 to 18, the locking mechanism 400 includes a first locking portion, a second locking portion, an elastic member 410, and an operating member. When the locking mechanism 400 is in a locked state, the basket 100 is fixed relatively to the support base 300, and when the locking mechanism 400 is in an unlocked state, the basket 100 is slidable relatively to the support base 300.

[0052] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 18, the first locking portion is a locking hole 420 provided in the slide rod 110a, and the second locking portion is a locking pin 430 provided in the support base 300 and insertable into the locking hole 420. The locking pin 430 is operated to engage with the locking hole 420 or to disengage from the locking hole 420, so that the locking mechanism 400 is in a locked state or an unlocked state. In this embodiment, there is one locking hole 420 located approximately in the center of the slide rod 110a. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple locking holes 420 arranged in the extending direction of the slide rod 110a so that the basket 100 can be fixed to the bed frame 200 at different positions. The locking pin 430 has an abutting flange 431. Of course, in other embodiments, the first locking portion and the second locking portion may be in other forms, for example, the first locking portion may be a locking groove, and the second locking portion may be a locking protrusion that engages with the locking groove, etc., and are not limited here.

[0053] Specifically, the operating member can be in various forms. For example, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the operating member can be a knob 440 attached to the support base 300. The knob 440 has a substantially cylindrical structure, and a plurality of rotation protrusions 441 are arranged on the side wall of the knob 440 to facilitate rotation by the caregiver. The knob 440 is provided with a first mounting groove 442 facing the support base 300, and a drive rib 443 is provided on the side wall of the first mounting groove 442. In this embodiment, two drive ribs 443 are provided, and these drive ribs 443 are arranged opposite to each other. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and positions of the drive ribs 443 can be appropriately adjusted.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 13, the support base 300 is provided with a first mounting protrusion 313. A first mounting hole 313a (see FIGS. 16 and 18) communicating with the lock hole 420 is provided in the center of the first mounting protrusion 313. A lock pin 430 movably extends through the first mounting hole 313a, and a driving inclined surface 313b cooperating with the driving rib 443 is provided on the side wall of the first mounting protrusion 313. A first stop position 313c and a second stop position 313d are provided on both ends of the driving inclined surface 313b. Two driving inclined surfaces 313b are provided corresponding to the two driving ribs 443. The knob 440 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting protrusion 313 so that all or a part of the first mounting protrusion 313 is accommodated in the first mounting groove 442, and the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 442 is connected to the end of the lock pin 430 remote from the slide rod 110a. Specifically, the lock pin 430 is fixed to the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 442 by a rivet. As a result, when the knob 440 is rotated, the drive rib 443 moves along the drive inclined surface 313b, and the lock pin 430 moves in a direction toward the lock hole 420 or in a direction away from the lock hole 420, and when the drive rib 443 moves to the first stop position 313c, the lock pin 430 is disengaged from the lock hole 420. When the drive rib 443 moves to the second stop position 313d, the lock pin 430 becomes insertable into the lock hole 420.

[0055] 16 and 18, the elastic member 410 is attached to the lock pin 430 in a sleeve-like shape, and both ends of the elastic member 410 abut against the abutment flange 431 and the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 442, respectively. In this way, the elastic member 410 constantly moves the lock pin 430 in the direction toward the lock hole 420.

[0056] The specific operation principle of the lock mechanism 400 according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0057] To rock the main body 100, the knob 440 is rotated so that the drive rib 443 provided on the knob 440 moves from the second stop position 313d to the first stop position 313c along the drive inclined surface 313b, and at the same time, the lock pin 430 originally inserted in the lock hole 420 is removed from the lock hole 420 as shown in Figures 16 and 18. At this time, the lock mechanism 400 is released, so that the slide rod 110a can slide relatively to the support base 300 as shown in Figures 7 to 9, that is, the main body 100 can be rocked relatively to the bed frame 200 by pushing the main body 100.

[0058] When it is necessary to stop the swinging of the main body 100 and fix it to the bed frame 200, the knob 440 is rotated so that the driving rib 443 on the knob 440 moves from the first stop position 313c to the second stop position 313d along the driving inclined surface 313b. At this time, the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 442 gradually approaches the lock hole 420, so that the lock pin 430 hits the slide rod 110a and the elastic member 410 is compressed and deformed. At this time, the slide rod 110a is moved to position the support base 300 at approximately the center of the slide rod 110a, and the main body 100 is pushed and pulled so that the lock hole 420 coincides with the first mounting hole 313a. Then, as shown in Figures 18 and 16, the lock pin 430 is automatically aligned by the elastic force of the elastic member 410 and inserted into the lock hole 420 of the slide rod 110a, and the main body 100 and the bed frame 200 can be relocked.

[0059] Also, for example, in another embodiment, as shown in Figs. 19 to 23, the operation member may be a button 450 having an elliptical cylindrical structure. The button 450 has a pressing surface 451 for applying a force. The pressing surface 451 is a V-shaped surface. The pressing surface 451 has a first pressing end 451a and a second pressing end 451b surrounded by a central recess of the V-shaped surface. The button 450 has a second mounting groove 452, and a part of the lock pin 430 is disposed in the second mounting groove 452. A guide post 452a is disposed in the groove wall of the second mounting groove 452, and the lock pin 430 is provided with a guide slot 432 having a rectangular shape and disposed along the extension direction of the lock pin 430. The guide post 452a is inserted into the guide slot 432 so that the lock pin 430 can move relative to the button 450. With this setting, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the lock pin 430 and the button 450 can be coupled together, and the lock pin 430 can be displaced relative to the button 450 in a direction toward or away from the lock hole 420.

[0060] 20 and 21, the mounting base 314 is disposed on the support base 300, the button 450 is movably disposed on the mounting base 314, and the end of the lock pin 430 remote from the slide rod 110a is connected to the first pressing end 451a. When the first pressing end 451a is pressed, the first pressing end 451a is moved in a direction toward the lock hole 420, and the second pressing end 451b is moved in a direction away from the lock hole 420. When the second pressing end 451b is pressed, the second pressing end 451b is moved in a direction toward the lock hole 420, and the first pressing end 451a is moved in a direction away from the lock hole 420.

[0061] 19 to 23, the mounting base 314 is provided with a first engagement portion, and the button 450 is provided with a second engagement portion on the side closer to the second pressing end 451b. In this embodiment, the first engagement portion is the engagement hole 314a, and the second engagement portion is the engagement finger 453 provided with the engagement hook 453a. When the second pressing end 451b is pressed, the engagement hook 453a is inserted into the engagement hole 314a. In this way, when the pressing force of the button 450 is released, as shown in FIG. 23, the second pressing end 451b can be brought close to the lock hole 420 and the first pressing end 451a can be separated from the lock hole 420. In other words, the lock mechanism 400 can be maintained in the unlocked state by simply pressing the second pressing end 451b once. Furthermore, when the first pressing end 451a is pressed, the engagement finger 453 is capable of elastically deforming to a certain extent, so that, as shown in Figures 20 and 21, the engagement hook 453a comes out of the engagement hole 314a, and locking of the locking mechanism 400 is not hindered.

[0062] Further, as shown in Figs. 19 to 23, the second mounting protrusion 314b is disposed on the mounting base 314. The second mounting protrusion 314b is formed with a receiving groove 314c communicating with the through passage 311. The second mounting hole 314d communicating with the receiving groove 314c is disposed in the center of the second mounting protrusion 314b. The lock pin 430 extends movably through the second mounting hole 314d. The elastic member 410 is sleeved on the lock pin 430 so that both ends of the elastic member 410 abut against the abutting flange 431 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 314c, respectively. In this way, the elastic member 410 always moves the lock pin 430 in a direction toward the lock hole 420.

[0063] The specific operation principle of the lock mechanism 400 according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0064] In order to swing the main body 100, the second pressing end 451b of the button 450 is pressed to move it in a direction toward the lock hole 420, and at the same time, the first pressing end 451a is moved in a direction away from the lock hole 420, so that the lock pin 430 originally inserted in the lock hole 420 is driven in a direction to be removed from the lock hole 420. The guide post 452a is moved to the end of the guide groove 432 in a direction away from the lock hole 420, as shown in FIG. 23. After the lock mechanism 400 is released, the slide rod 110a is in a state in which it can slide relatively to the support base 300, that is, by pressing the main body 100, the main body 100 is in a state in which it can swing relatively to the bed frame 200. At the same time, the locking mechanism 400 maintains the unlocked state because the second pressing end 451b moves in the direction toward the locking hole 420, and the engagement hook 453a provided on the engagement finger 453 is inserted into the engagement hole 314a during the aforementioned unlocking.

[0065] To stop the swinging of the main body 100 and fix the main body 100 to the bed frame 200, the first pressing end 451a of the button 450 is pressed, and then the second pressing end 451b is moved in a direction away from the lock hole 420 so that the engagement hook 453a of the engagement finger 453 is disengaged from the engagement hole 314a. After that, the first pressing end 451a is moved in a direction toward the lock hole 420. At the same time, the lock pin 430 is pushed in a direction toward the lock hole 420 so as to abut against the slide rod 110a, and the elastic member 410 is compressed and deformed as shown in FIG. 19. Next, the slide rod 110a is moved to position the support base 300 at approximately the center of the slide rod 110a, and the main body 100 is pushed and pulled so that the lock hole 420 is aligned with the second mounting hole 314d. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21, the elastic force of the elastic member 410 allows the lock pin 430 to be automatically aligned and inserted into the lock hole 420 of the slide rod 110a, making it possible to relock the main body 100 and the bed frame 200.

[0066] For example, in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 29, the operating member can be a pressing member 460 having a substantially cylindrical structure. A pressing portion 461 is provided at one end of the pressing member 460, and a contact protrusion 462 is provided at the other end of the pressing member 460. The lock pin 430 is fixed to one side of the pressing member 460 and is located between the pressing portion 461 and the contact protrusion 462. In this embodiment, the lock pin 430 and the pressing member 460 are approximately perpendicular to each other. The mounting base 300 is provided with an assembly groove 315 communicating with the through passage 311, and the pressing member 460 is movably disposed in the assembly groove 315. The pressing portion 461 at least partially protrudes from the mounting base 300 so that a childcare worker can conveniently apply a pressing force, and the pressing direction of the pressing portion 461 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the lock pin 430.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the setting of the lock hole 420 is slightly different from that of the two embodiments described above. In the two embodiments described above, the knob 440 or the button 450 is operated to move the lock pin 430 in the horizontal direction in FIG. 16 or in the vertical direction in FIG. 20 relative to the lock hole 420, thereby realizing the insertion lock or unlock by the lock hole 420. For this reason, the lock hole 420 is provided on the left side as shown in FIG. 15 or FIG. 17. Also, in this embodiment, the lock pin 430 is operated to move in the vertical direction in FIG. 29 relative to the lock hole 420, thereby realizing the insertion lock or unlock by the lock hole 420. Therefore, the lock hole 420 is provided on the upper left side as shown in FIG. 29, so that when the pressing member 460 is pressed down and the lock pin 430 is moved downward, the lock pin 430 can be smoothly inserted into the lock hole 420 without being hindered by the rod wall of the slide rod 110a.

[0068] 29 and 31, the support base 300 is provided with a base 316 near the bottom thereof, and both ends of the elastic member 410 respectively abut against the base 316 and the abutment protrusion 462. In this manner, the elastic member 410 constantly moves the abutment protrusion 462 upward, i.e., constantly moves the lock pin 430 toward the unlocked position.

[0069] Further, as shown in FIG. 22 to FIG. 35, the lock mechanism 400 further includes a holding assembly 470. When the pressing member 460 is in the lock position, the holding assembly 470 holds the pressing member 460 in the lock position. Specifically, the holding assembly 470 includes a holding frame 471 and a holding member 472. The holding frame 471 is a substantially square frame (shown in FIG. 29 and FIG. 31). The lower part of the holding frame 471 is rotated and attached to the base 316, and the upper part of the holding frame 471 (i.e., the end part away from the base 316) is cut in the middle to form two opposing snap parts 471a. The two snap parts 471a are snapped on both sides of the holding member 472. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be only one snap part 471a that snaps the holding member 472.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 32 to FIG. 35, the holding member 472 is fixed to the pressing member 460. The holding member 472 and the pressing member 460 may be integrally formed or may be two separate parts. The holding member 472 includes a holding body 472a and a limit block 472b fixed to the holding body 472a. The holding body 472a and the limit block 472b may be integrally formed or may be two separate parts. A first limit protrusion 472c and a second limit protrusion 472d are formed on the side of the limit block 472b close to the pressing portion 461, and the first limit protrusion 472c and the second limit protrusion 472d surround the limit slot 472e. A guide passage 473 communicating with the limit slot 472e is formed between the limit block 472b and the holding body 472a, and the snap portion 471a is movable along the guide passage 473. When the pressing member 460 is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position, the snap portion 471a is moved along the guide passage 473, passes through the first limit protrusion 472c, and moves into the limit slot 472e. When the pressing member 460 is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, the snap portion 471a is moved along the guide passage 473, passes through the second limit protrusion 472d, and is disengaged from the limit slot 472e. This allows the holding assembly 470 to hold the pressing member 460 in the locked position.

[0071] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 32 to 35, the limit block 472b has a block structure of an approximately inverted triangle. The guide passage 473 is substantially divided into a first passage 473a, a second passage 473b, and a third passage 473c that communicate with each other, and are arranged along the three sides of the triangle. The limit slot 472e is arranged in the third passage 473c. The first passage 473a and the first limit protrusion 472c are located relatively to the left, and the second passage 473b and the second limit protrusion 472d are located relatively to the right. In addition, the holder 472a is provided with a receiving passage 474 located below the limit block 472b, and the receiving passage 474 is arranged in the vertical direction and communicates with the first passage 473a and the second passage 473b. The bottom corner 472f of the limit block 472b is biased toward the second passage 473b. The holder 472a is provided with a limit protrusion 481 biased toward the first limit protrusion 472c. When the pressing member 460 is pressed to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, the snap portion 471a located in the receiving passage 474 is moved obliquely upward along the first passage 473a due to the blocking of the bottom corner 472f of the limit block 472b, as shown in FIG. 35, and passes through the first limit protrusion 472c and enters the limit slot 472e. At this time, the snap portion 471a is trapped between the first limit protrusion 472c and the second limit protrusion 472d, and after the pressing force applied to the pressing member 460 is removed, the pressing member 460 does not move upward due to the action of the elastic member 410, that is, the pressing member 460 remains in the locked position. When the pressing member 460 is pressed again, the snap portion 471a located in the limit slot 472e is disengaged from the limit slot 472e due to the obstruction of the limit protrusion 481, and is moved along the third passage 473c through the second limit protrusion 472d to the second passage 473b, and is returned obliquely along the second passage 473b to the receiving passage 474. 33, the pressing member 460 can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by receiving the elastic force of the elastic member 410.

[0072] The specific operation principle of the lock mechanism 400 according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0073] In order to allow the main body 100 to swing, as shown in Fig. 33, the snap portion 471a located in the limit slot 472e is disengaged from the limit slot 472e, passes through the second limit protrusion 472d along the third passage 473c, and moves to the second passage 473b, and presses the pressing member 460 so as to return obliquely along the second passage 473b to the receiving passage 474. In other words, when the holding operation of the holding mechanism 400 is retreated, the pressing member 460 can move from the locked position to the unlocked position by receiving the elastic force of the elastic member 410, that is, the pressing member 460 is moved upward so that the lock pin 430 is disengaged from the lock hole 420, as shown in Figs. 26 and 31.

[0074] In order to stop the rocking of the main body 100 and fix the main body 100 to the bed frame 200, the pressing member 460 can be pressed again to move the pressing member 460 from the unlocked position to the locked position, that is, to move the pressing member 460 downward so that the lock pin 430 is inserted into the lock hole 420, as shown in Figures 27 and 29. At the same time, the snap portion 471a located in the receiving passage 474 is moved obliquely upward along the first passage 473a, and is moved through the first limit protrusion 472c into the limit slot 472e so that the pressing member 460 remains in the locked position, as shown in Figure 35.

[0075] It should be noted that in the above three embodiments, the two sliding rods 110a on opposite sides of the main body 100 and the support bases 300 on the two support posts 210 can be simultaneously locked or unlocked by corresponding locking mechanisms 400, or can be locked or unlocked respectively by corresponding locking mechanisms 400. For example, the sliding rod 110a on one side can be slidable relative to the support base 300, and the sliding rod 110a on the other side can be fixed relative to the support base 300, that is, one-sided swing can be realized.

[0076] The above-mentioned baby bed has at least the following technical effects:

[0077] In the baby bed, the main body 100 has an accommodation space for a child to sleep and play in, is supported by the bed frame 200, and extends through the through passage 311 of the support base 300 arranged on the bed frame 200 via the slide rod 110a, so as to realize a sliding connection between the slide rod 110a and the support base 300, i.e., a sliding connection between the main body 100 and the bed frame 200. In this way, the main body 100 can be rocked relative to the bed frame 200 by pushing and pulling the main body 100 back and forth, which acts as a comfort for the child inside the main body 100. This baby bed has a simple structure for realizing the swing function of the main body, and is easy to operate.

[0078] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be combined in any manner, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered within the scope of this specification.

[0079] The above-mentioned embodiments represent only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are described in more detail and specificity, but are not to be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make multiple changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and all of these are included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention patent shall be subject to the scope of the attached claims.
