Bed frame connecting piece
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bed frame connecting pieces are inconvenient to package and transport due to a gradual increase in height between the matching lines during disassembly, leading to space inefficiency and operational difficulties.
Innovation Solution
A bed frame connecting piece design featuring a notch part between the first and second connecting pieces, with a reinforcing member at the notch, ensuring the matching line remains at a consistent height from the ground, facilitated by a narrow edge and wide edge configuration and symmetric fixing or hollow parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the bed frame connecting piece is packaged with the first connecting piece and second connecting piece placed on the ground, then the components can be packaged separately, but the height between the matching line and the ground gradually increases, making packaging inconvenient and taking up large space
Solution Approach 1:
The first connecting piece and second connecting piece are nested within the packaging box together, with the notch part allowing one piece to fit into or alongside the other, optimizing space utilization and maintaining consistent height from the matching line to the ground
2Ease of manufacture
If the bed frame connecting piece is packaged with the first connecting piece and second connecting piece placed on the ground, then the components can be packaged separately, but the height between the matching line and the ground gradually increases, making packaging inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The nested arrangement of connecting pieces within the packaging box maintains a consistent height from the matching line to the ground, making it easier for operators to handle and package the components without dealing with varying heights
3Ease of operation
If a notch part is provided between the first connecting piece and second connecting piece, then the matching line height is maintained, but the structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The reinforcing member is integrated into the notch part, combining the structural elements to maintain both the height consistency for packaging and the structural stability for supporting the bed frame
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting piece is divided into functional segments (first connecting piece, second connecting piece, reinforcing member) that work together to achieve both packaging efficiency and structural integrity

AI summary
A bed frame connecting piece includes a first connecting piece connected to a horizontal rail of the bed frame and a second connecting piece connected to a vertical rail of the bed frame. A notch part is provided between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, and a reinforcing member is provided between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece. The reinforcing member is located at the notch part and arranged at an inner end of the bed frame connecting piece. One end of the bed frame connecting piece is a narrow edge, the other end of the bed frame connecting piece is a wide edge, and the notch part is arranged at the wide edge. A bed frame includes the above bed frame connecting piece.
