As shown in fig. 1, the crib 1 includes two connecting modules 10, two upper supporting members 12, and two lower supporting members 14. The present invention defines a central axis C on the connection module 10. Two ends of each upper supporting member 12 are rotatably connected to the two connecting modules 10, so that the two upper supporting members 12 can be relatively folded towards the central axis C and relatively unfolded towards the direction away from the central axis C. In addition, two ends of each lower supporting member 14 are rotatably connected to the two connecting modules 10, so that the two lower supporting members 14 can be relatively folded towards the direction of the central axis C and relatively unfolded towards the direction away from the central axis C.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the connection module 10 includes a base 100, two upper connectors 102 and two lower connectors 104, wherein the two upper connectors 102 and the two lower connectors 104 are pivotally connected to the base 10. The two upper supporting members 12 are connected to the two upper connecting members 102, and the two lower supporting members 14 are connected to the two lower connecting members 104. In addition, each upper connecting member 102 has a first linking portion 1020, and each lower connecting member 104 has a second linking portion 1040. Preferably, the first linking portion 1020 and the second linking portion 1040 are respectively a protrusion integrally formed on the upper connecting member 102 and the lower connecting member 104.

The connecting module 10 further includes a locking member 106, wherein the locking member 106 is pivotally connected to one of the two upper connecting members 102. As shown in fig. 3, the locking member 106 is pivotally connected to the outer upper connecting member 102. The locking member 106 has a locking portion 1060, and each of the upper connecting members 102 has a locking groove 1022. In addition, the other of the two upper connectors 102 has a protrusion 1024, as shown in fig. 5. The connection module 10 further includes a release member 108, wherein the release member 108 is movably disposed on the base 100. As shown in fig. 8, the release 108 has a first wedge 1080 and the lock 106 has a second wedge 1062. The connection module 10 further comprises an elastic member 110. As shown in fig. 8, the elastic member 110 is disposed between the release member 108 and the lower connecting member 104.

When the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 are unfolded relatively (as shown in fig. 1), the engaging portion 1060 of the locking member 106 is engaged with the two engaging grooves 1022 of the two upper connecting members 102, so that the two upper connecting members 102 cannot rotate. At this time, the first interlocking portion 1020 of the upper link 102 abuts against the second interlocking portion 1040 of the lower link 104 (as shown in fig. 3). Since the upper connecting members 102 cannot rotate, the lower connecting members 104 cannot rotate, so that the upper supporting members 12 and the lower supporting members 14 are unfolded as shown in fig. 1. When the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 are unfolded relatively, so that the engaging portion 1060 of the locking member 106 is engaged with the two engaging slots 1022 of the two upper connecting members 102, the first wedge portion 1080 of the releasing member 108 abuts against the second wedge portion 1062 of the locking member 106, as shown in fig. 8.

When the user wants to fold the crib 1, the user can press the release member 108. When the release 108 is pressed, the first wedge 1080 of the release 108 drives the second wedge 1062 of the locking 106 (as shown in fig. 10), and the engaging portion 1060 of the locking 106 is disengaged from the two engaging slots 1022 of the two upper connecting members 102, so that the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 can be relatively folded toward the central axis C of the connecting module 10. When the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 are folded relatively, the engaging portion 1060 of the locking member 106 abuts against the protruding portion 1024 of the inner upper connecting member 102 (as shown in fig. 13), so as to form a slight engaging action, so that the connecting module 10 can be maintained in the folded state shown in fig. 13. It should be noted that, when the releasing element 108 is pressed to disengage the engaging portion 1060 of the locking element 106 from the two engaging grooves 1022 of the two upper connecting elements 102, the two upper supporting elements 12 and the two lower supporting elements 14 can be folded relatively toward the central axis C of the connecting module 10 by gravity, without requiring an additional folding operation by a user. After the folding of the crib 1 is completed, the user can release the pressed release member 108, and at this time, the compressed elastic member 110 provides an elastic force to reset the release member 108.

When the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 are relatively retracted, the first linking portion 1020 of the upper connecting member 102 abuts against the second linking portion 1040 of the lower connecting member 104. When the user wants to unfold the baby bed 1, the user can simultaneously unfold the two upper supporting members 12 in the direction away from the central axis C. When the two upper supporting members 12 are relatively unfolded, the first linking portion 1020 of the upper connecting member 102 drives the second linking portion 1040 of the lower connecting member 104, so that the two lower supporting members 14 are also relatively unfolded. In other words, the user can unfold the two lower supporting members 14 at the same time by unfolding the two upper supporting members 12, which is quite convenient. It should be noted that, since the engaging portion 1060 of the locking member 106 and the protruding portion 1024 of the inner upper connector 102 only form a slight engaging action in the folded state, the user can release the engaging action between the engaging portion 1060 of the locking member 106 and the protruding portion 1024 of the inner upper connector 102 by only slightly applying force to unfold the two upper supporting members 12.

Referring to fig. 14 and 15, fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the straight pipe 140 and the U-shaped pipe 142 in fig. 1, and fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the height adjuster 144 in fig. 14 after being pressed. As shown in fig. 1, each of the lower supporting members 14 includes two straight pipes 140 and a U-shaped pipe 142, wherein the two straight pipes 140 are rotatably connected to the two connecting modules 10, and two ends of the U-shaped pipe 142 are movably connected to the two straight pipes 140. Each lower support 14 also includes a height adjustment member 144. As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the height adjustment member 144 is pivotally connected to the straight tube member 140, the height adjustment member 144 has a position-limiting portion 1440, and the U-shaped tube member 142 has a plurality of position-limiting grooves 1420. The position-limiting portion 1440 can be selectively engaged with one of the position-limiting grooves 1420 to adjust the overall height of the stroller 1. When the user wants to adjust the overall height of the crib 1, the user only needs to press the height adjusting member 144 to disengage the position-limiting portion 1440 of the height adjusting member 144 from the position-limiting groove 1420 of the U-shaped member 142, move the U-shaped member 142 to a proper position relative to the straight tube member 140, and then release the height adjusting member 144 to engage the position-limiting portion 1440 of the height adjusting member 144 with the position-limiting groove 1420 of the U-shaped member 142, so that the overall height of the crib 1 can be easily adjusted.

Referring to fig. 16 and 17, fig. 16 is a perspective view of a crib 3 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 17 is a perspective view of the crib 3 of fig. 16 after being folded. The primary difference between the crib 3 and the crib 1 is that the connecting module 30 of the crib 3 includes a plate 300, two upper links 302, and two lower links 304. As shown in fig. 16 and 17, the two upper supporting members 12 are pivotally connected to two upper connecting rods 302, the two upper connecting rods 302 are pivotally connected to two lower connecting rods 304, the two lower connecting rods 304 are pivotally connected to the two lower supporting members 14 and are pivotally connected to each other, and the two lower supporting members 14 are pivotally connected to the plate 300. When the user wants to fold the crib 3 shown in fig. 16, the user can fold the two upper supporting members 12 toward the central axis C at the same time with both hands, and through the linkage of the upper connecting rod 302 and the lower connecting rod 304, the two lower supporting members 14 can be folded toward the central axis C at the same time, and the folded state shown in fig. 17 is presented. On the other hand, when the user wants to unfold the crib 3 shown in fig. 17, the user can simultaneously unfold the two upper supporting members 12 relatively in the direction away from the central axis C with both hands, and the two lower supporting members 14 are simultaneously unfolded relatively in the direction away from the central axis C by the linkage of the upper link 302 and the lower link 304, thereby assuming the unfolded state shown in fig. 17.

It should be noted that fig. 16 and 17 only show the single side of the lower support member 14 and the connecting module 30 of the crib 3, however, the lower support member 14 and the connecting module 30 of the crib 3 of the present invention are symmetrically disposed in practical applications.

Referring to fig. 18 to 24, fig. 18 is a perspective view of a crib 5 according to a third embodiment of the present invention, fig. 19 is an internal view of a connection module 50 in fig. 18, fig. 20 is an internal view of the connection module 50 in fig. 18 from another perspective, fig. 21 is a moved view of a locking member 504 in fig. 19, fig. 22 is a moved view of the locking member 504 in fig. 20, fig. 23 is a folded view of an upper support member 12 and a lower support member 14 in fig. 19, and fig. 24 is a folded view of the upper support member 12 and the lower support member 14 in fig. 20.

The primary difference between the crib 5 and the crib 1 is that the connection module 50 of the crib 5 includes a base 500, a plate 502, a locking member 504, a release member 506, and two elastic members 508. The plate 502 and the locking member 504 are disposed in the housing 500. The locking member 504 is movably disposed on the plate 502, and the releasing member 506 is movably disposed on the base 500, wherein the locking member 504 is fixed to the fixing hole 5060 of the releasing member 506 through the fixing portion 5040. Therefore, when the release member 506 is pressed, the release member 506 moves the locking member 504 together. The plate 502 has two guiding portions 5020, and the release 506 has two guiding slots 5062, wherein the two guiding portions 5020 are movably disposed in the two guiding slots 5062. In addition, the two elastic members 508 are sleeved on the two guiding portions 5020 and abut against the two guiding slots 5062. Therefore, the release 506 can move forward and backward by the cooperation of the guide 5020 and the guide slot 5062. When the release 506 is pressed, the two elastic members 508 are compressed. When the release 506 is released from the pressed state, the compressed elastic member 508 provides an elastic force to reset the release 506. Furthermore, the plate 502 has a through hole 5026 corresponding to the locking member 504, and the locking member 504 is disposed through the through hole 5026. Therefore, when the release member 506 is pressed or released from the pressed state, the release member 506 drives the locking member 504 to move back and forth in the through hole 5026 relative to the plate 502.

In the present embodiment, the two upper supporting members 12 are pivotally connected to one side of the plate 502, and the two lower supporting members 14 are pivotally connected to the other side of the plate 502. Each upper support 12 has a first locking groove 120a and a first locking groove 120b, each lower support 14 has a second locking groove 146a and a second locking groove 146b, and the locking member 504 has two first locking portions 5042 and two second locking portions 5044, wherein the two first locking portions 5042 are symmetrical to each other, and the two second locking portions 5044 are symmetrical to each other. When the two upper supports 12 and the two lower supports 14 are unfolded relatively (as shown in fig. 19 and 20), the first engaging portion 5042 is engaged in the first engaging groove 120a, and the second engaging portion 5044 is engaged in the second engaging groove 146a, so as to prevent the two upper supports 12 and the two lower supports 14 from rotating. When the two upper supports 12 and the two lower supports 14 are relatively retracted (as shown in fig. 23 and 24), the first engaging portion 5042 is engaged in the first engaging groove 120b, and the second engaging portion 5044 is engaged in the second engaging groove 146b, so as to prevent the two upper supports 12 and the two lower supports 14 from rotating.

In addition, the plate 502 has two first position-limiting portions 5022 and two second position-limiting portions 5024, each of the upper supporting members 12 has a first position-limiting groove 122, and each of the lower supporting members 14 has a second position-limiting groove 148, wherein the first position-limiting portions 5022 are movably disposed in the first position-limiting grooves 122, and the second position-limiting portions 5024 are movably disposed in the second position-limiting grooves 148. The rotation range of the upper supporting member 12 can be limited by the mutual fit of the first stopping portion 5022 and the first stopping groove 122, and the rotation range of the lower supporting member 14 can be limited by the mutual fit of the second stopping portion 5024 and the second stopping groove 148.

When the user wants to fold the crib 5, the user presses the release member 506. When the release member 506 is pressed, the release member 506 drives the locking member 504 to move, such that the first engaging portion 5042 is disengaged from the first engaging groove 120a of the upper support 12, and the second engaging portion 5044 is disengaged from the second engaging groove 146a of the lower support 14. At this time, the user can relatively fold the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 toward the central axis C of the connecting module 50. As shown in fig. 22, since a gap 5046 exists between the first engaging portion 5042 and the second engaging portion 5044 of the locking member 504, when the releasing member 506 is pressed to move the locking member 504, the gap 5046 of the locking member 504 is aligned with the upper supporting member 12, so that the upper supporting member 12 can rotate in the gap 5046. When the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 rotate to the folded state shown in fig. 23 and 24, the user can release the pressed release member 506, and at this time, the compressed elastic member 508 provides an elastic force to reset the release member 506, so as to drive the locking member 504 to reset, such that the first engaging portion 5042 of the locking member 504 is engaged with the first engaging groove 120b of the two upper supporting members 12, and the second engaging portion 5044 of the locking member 504 is engaged with the second engaging groove 146b of the two lower supporting members 14, thereby preventing the two upper supporting members 12 and the two lower supporting members 14 from rotating. When the user wants to unfold the infant bed 5, the user can relatively unfold the two upper supports 12 and the two lower supports 14 in a direction away from the central axis C by pressing the release member 506.

The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made by the claims of the present invention should be covered by the scope of the present invention.
