The present disclosure relates to a bed frame and in particular to a bed frame of an iron frame bed.
A bed frame of an iron frame bed comprises a rectangular metal frame, a plurality of supporting rods, and a plurality of metal frame rods. The rectangular metal frame is surrounded and defined by two transverse rods symmetrically parallel to each other and two longitudinal rods symmetrically parallel to each other. The plurality of supporting rods are disposed on all sides of the rectangular metal frame for supporting the rectangular metal frame. The two transverse rods correspond to a direction of people laying down when sleeping. The two longitudinal rods correspond to a width direction of the bed frame, so a length of each of the two transverse rods is greater than a length of each of the two longitudinal rods. The plurality of metal frame rods are connected to the two transverse rods, so the plurality of metal frame rods are arranged longitudinally and spaced apart from one another.
Since each of the plurality of metal frame rods is much thinner than each of two transverse rods or each of the two longitudinal rods, strength and hardness of the plurality of metal frame rods are weak, and bending deformation is more likely to occur. In other words, the plurality of metal frame rods can be broken apart with a relatively small lateral force. In fact, there is a special detection method, which is to insert a cone block from top to bottom between two adjacent metal frame rods of the plurality of metal frame rods and then apply a fixed downward test force. If the cone block can be forced through the two adjacent metal frame rods, the strength of the bed frame does not meet the design requirements. Therefore, in order to meet the design test requirements, the existing structural design adds connecting pieces at a middle position of each of the plurality of metal frame rods. That is, the middle positions of the two adjacent metal frame rods are connected by the connecting pieces, and finally all of the plurality of metal frame rods are interwoven through the connecting pieces, so that the connecting pieces can limit the lateral deformation of each of the plurality of metal frame rods. Alternatively, some people believe that directly thickening each of the plurality of metal frame rods or reducing a gap of the two adjacent metal frame rods can improve deformation ability of each of the plurality of metal frame rods. However, profit is very limited for the iron frame bed, so thickening each of the plurality of metal frame rods or increasing a quantity of the plurality of metal frame rods will increase the weight of the product and increase the production cost. Control of the production cost will directly determine the competitiveness of the product, so no manufacturer will probably directly thicken each of the plurality of metal frame rods and increase the number of metal frame rods.
In this regard, those skilled in the art are still continuously thinking about how to obtain a better structural design and further improve the strength of the bed frame on the premise of ensuring product competitiveness.
The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a bed frame of an iron frame bed, which improves the strength without increasing the production cost. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides the following technical solution.
A bed frame of an iron frame bed comprises two transverse rods symmetrically parallel to each other in a front-and-rear direction, two longitudinal rods symmetrically parallel to each other in a left-and-right direction, two or three longitudinal beams connected to the two transverse rods, four upright columns arranged vertically, and a plurality of frame rods. The two longitudinal rods and the two transverse rods form a rectangular frame, and the four upright columns are respectively connected to four corners of the rectangular frame. A length of each of the two transverse rods is greater than a length of each of the two longitudinal rods, and the two or three longitudinal beams divide the rectangular frame into three or four individual cells. The plurality of frame rods are evenly disposed in the three or four individual cells, and the plurality of frame rods are arranged transversely. A length of each of the plurality of frame rods is shorter than a length of each of the two or three longitudinal beams, and each end of each of the plurality of frame rods is connected to one of the two longitudinal rods or one of the two or three longitudinal beams.
Each of the plurality of frame rods is arranged transversely and connected to one of the two longitudinal rods and one of the two or three longitudinal beams, or between the two or three longitudinal beams. The length of each of the plurality of frame rods is shorter than a distance between the two transverse rods, and the resistance to deformation is greatly improved, so a distance between two adjacent frame rods of the plurality of frame rods can be larger than the existing structure and a length of all of the plurality of frame rods transversely arranged is much shorter than a length of a plurality of frame rods longitudinally arranged in the existing structure. The material saved from the plurality of frame rods is enough to offset the two or three longitudinal beams, so an overall weight of the bed frame is not increased. The bed frame can even be lighter than before, and the strength is improved. In addition, there is no need to provide additional connecting pieces between the two adjacent frame rods, which further save costs.
In a preferred embodiment, an inner side of each of the two transverse rods is disposed with one or more U-shaped seats, and each end of each of the two or three longitudinal beams is supported on the one or more U-shaped seats. Each end of each of the two or three longitudinal beams and the one or more U-shaped seats are detachably buckled to each other, and the two or three longitudinal beams are configured to pull the two transverse rods in a longitudinal direction. The one or more U-shaped seats are assembled with the two or three longitudinal beams, and the one or more U-shaped seats can support the two or three longitudinal beams stably and prevent the two or three longitudinal beams from shaking. Additionally, the two or three longitudinal beams and the two transverse rods form an H-shaped reinforcing supporting structure, increasing strength and stability of the bed frame.
In a preferred embodiment, a left inner side and a right inner side of the one or more U-shaped seats respectively comprises a protruding tongue, and a left side and a right side of each end of each of the two or three longitudinal beams respectively comprises a buckle hole. The protruding tongue is inserted into the buckle hole, and a bottom surface of the one or more U-shaped seats comprises a position-limiting block. A bottom surface of each end of each of the two or three longitudinal beams comprises a position-limiting hole, and the position-limiting block is inserted into the position-limiting hole. The mating connection between the protruding tongue and the buckle hole can prevent the two or three longitudinal beams from being disengaged upwards, and the assembly is stable. The mating connection between the position-limiting block and the position-limiting hole enables the two or three longitudinal beams to be fixedly connected to the two transverse rods, so as to ensure a constant distance between the two transverse rods and improve the overall stability of the bed frame.
In a preferred embodiment, each end of each of the plurality of frame rods is flattened and folded down vertically to form a vertical hook, and each of the two longitudinal rods and each of the two or three longitudinal beams comprise insertion holes. Each of the insertion holes is disposed with a plastic buckle, and the vertical hook is inserted into the plastic buckle of a corresponding one of the insertion holes. An anti-releasing structure is disposed between the vertical hook and the plastic buckle. The plurality of frame rods are directly flattened to form a vertical hook, which is inserted into the plastic buckle, making it very convenient to assemble the plurality of frame rods.
In a preferred embodiment, the bed frame of the iron frame bed comprises two supporting rods and a connecting rod configured to be connected to the two supporting rods. The two supporting rods are connected to the two transverse rods in a one-to-one correspondence, and each of the two supporting rods is located below a middle position of a corresponding one of the two transverse rods. The connecting rod is configured to be connected to the two supporting rods and pull the two supporting rods in a longitudinal direction, and two ends of the connecting rod are detachably connected to the two supporting rods. The two supporting rods improve a supporting capacity of the two transverse rods. The two supporting rods on the two transverse rods are connected by the connecting rod, a distance between the two supporting rods remains fixed, and the two supporting rods and the connecting rod form an H-shaped bracket structure, which improves stability of the two supporting rods and makes the two supporting rods have good resistance to deformation and impact.
In a preferred embodiment, each of the two transverse rods is configured to be folded in half and comprises two transverse rod units, so that each of the two transverse rods is configured to be folded in half using a corresponding one of the two supporting rods as a center line. End surfaces of the connecting rod comprise U-shaped channel steels corresponding to the two supporting rods, and the U-shaped channel steels are buckled to the two supporting rods. One or more tongue pieces protrude from a bottom surface of each of the U-shaped channel steels, and each of the two supporting rods comprises one or more buckle openings. The one or more tongue pieces are inserted into the one or more buckle openings. The transverse rods can be folded, making packaging and transportation more convenient. The U-shaped channel steels on the end surfaces of the connecting rod can be more easily buckled to the two supporting rods, making assembly more convenient and the structure more secure.
In a preferred embodiment, a top end of each of the two supporting rods is disposed with a connecting seat, and inner ends of the two transverse rod units are pivotally connected to the connecting seat. The connecting seat comprises a seat plate and two side plates, and the seat plate is connected to a top surface of a corresponding one of the two supporting rods. The two side plates are symmetrically connected to two sides of the seat plate, and a part of the two side plates extending out of the seat plate is pivotally connected to the two transverse rod units. When the two transverse rods are folded, a corresponding one of the two supporting rods is disposed between the two transverse rod units. A length of the two side plates is longer than a length of the seat plate, and the part of the two side plates extending out of the seat plate is pivotally connected with the two transverse rod units. This structure can better enable the two transverse rod units to be folded using the corresponding one of the two supporting rods as the center line and make the two transverse rods neater after being folded.
In a preferred embodiment, each of the four upright columns comprises an upper column and a lower column, and the upper column and the lower column are configured to be inserted into each other in an upper-and-down direction. A top end of the lower column has a portion having a diameter that is smaller than a remaining portion to form a joint, and the upper column is sleeved on the joint. End portions of the two longitudinal rods are fixedly connected to the lower columns of the four upright columns, and each of outer ends of the two transverse rod units is disposed with a locking plate. The locking plate abuts an outer surface of the upper column and an outer surface of the lower column, and a first part of the locking plate extending above a top surface of a corresponding one of the two transverse rods is locked by an upper bolt. The upper bolt enables the locking plate, the upper column, and the joint to be locked together, and a second part of the locking plate extending below a bottom surface of the corresponding one of the two transverse rods is locked by a lower bolt. The lower bolt enables the locking plate and the lower column to be locked together. The upper and lower bolts firmly lock the upper column, lower column, and one of the two transverse rods together, forming a sturdy T-shaped structure that does not wobble and requires fewer bolts. Additionally, after the upper and lower columns are inserted together and the locking plate abuts the upper column and the lower column, the bolts can be fastened easily, making it very convenient for consumers to assemble.
In a preferred embodiment, the upper column is further locked by a reinforcing bolt, and the reinforcing bolt enables the upper column and the joint to be locked together. The reinforcing bolt is located above the upper bolt, and the lower column is disposed with rivet nuts corresponding to the upper bolt, the lower bolt, and the reinforcing bolt.
In a preferred embodiment, the locking plate is arc-shaped to correspond to the outer surface of the upper column and the outer surface of the lower column. A left edge and a right edge of the locking plate are folded toward a corresponding one of the two transverse rods, and the plurality of frame rods are ten frame rods arranged within the three or four individual cells. The folded edges enhance strength of the locking plate and facilitate the connection and installation of the locking plate and the two transverse rods.

The two longitudinal beams 50 between the two transverse rods 10 not only improve strength of the rectangular frame, but also enable the plurality of frame rods 40 to be disposed transversely, so that the length of each of the plurality of frame rods 40 is shorter, deformation resistance is greatly improved, and transverse strength of the bed frame can be improved.
