The mattress support surface 212 may be disposed such that two ends formed in a predetermined thickness in a central portion of the quadrangular grid shape intersect each other in an “X” shape. Further, a Velcro surface 213 may be formed on a predetermined area in a left-right symmetrical shape on the mattress support surface 212. The Velcro surface 213 may be a portion to which one surface of the mattress 100 is fixedly attached.

FIG. 4 shows views (a) and (b) illustrating a cross-sectional shape of the bed unit.

Referring to FIG. 4, the lower support frame 210 may have a lower space. The lower support frame 210 is formed in a “II” cross-section that is a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an open lower portion, and thus a lower space A may be formed.

A reinforcement support 214 may be formed in the lower space A.

The reinforcement support 214 may be supported by and formed in contact with an upper surface and side surfaces of the lower space A of the lower support frame 210. The reinforcement support 214 may be formed to reinforce a supporting force generated to fix the bed leg 220.

Meanwhile, the bed unit 200 may include a first rod fitting stand 230.

The first rod fitting stand 230 may be a pillar into which the bed leg 220 is fixedly inserted. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the first rod fitting stand 230 may be formed in a quadrangular pillar shape but may be formed in a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape or a hexagonal shape as needed. The first rod fitting stand 230 may have a first bed leg coupling hole 231 formed at a center thereof. The first bed leg coupling hole 231 may be a hole through which the bed leg 220 is coupled and supported. Accordingly, the bed leg 220 may be coupled to the first rod fitting stand 230. Further, the first rod fitting stand 230 may be connected to and supported by a lower portion of the reinforcement support 214.

Meanwhile, the bed unit 200 may include the first rod fitting stand 230.

The second rod fitting stand 240 may be disposed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from a lower side of the first rod fitting stand 230 in a downward direction. The second rod fitting stand 240 may support a central side of the bed leg 220 coupled to the first rod fitting stand 230. The second rod fitting stand 240 may supplement position fixation of the bed leg 220. Further, a second bed leg coupling hole 241 may be formed in the second rod fitting stand 240. The second bed leg coupling hole 241 may be a hole through which the bed leg 220 is fastened. Accordingly, the bed leg 220 may be inserted into the second bed leg coupling hole 241 and reach the first bed leg coupling hole 231.

The bed unit 200 may include the bed leg.

The bed leg 220 may be formed long in a longitudinal direction, and one side thereof may be in contact with the installation surface. Further, the other side of the bed leg 220 may be in contact with a lower portion of the lower support frame 210 and spaced apart from the installation surface. Further, the bed leg 220 may be formed of a structural material such as stainless steel or plastic. The bed leg 220 may include a column-shaped insertion part 221 formed long in the longitudinal direction and a bottom contact part 222 formed at a lower end thereof.

The insertion part 221 formed in the bed leg 220 may be a part that is inserted into and coupled to the first rod fitting stand 230 and the second rod fitting stand 240. Further, the insertion part 221 may be formed to have a length that is large enough to be inserted into both the first rod fitting stand 230 and the second rod fitting stand 240. Further, the insertion part 221 may be formed to have a length that is large enough to be spaced apart from a bottom surface on which the lower support frame 210 is installed.

A bottom contact part 222 formed in the bed leg 220 may be a part formed at a lower distal end of the insertion part 221. The bottom contact part 222 may have a cylindrical shape having a diameter larger than the thickness of the insertion part 221. The bottom contact part 222 may be prevented from a slipping phenomenon against the bottom surface on which a bottom contact surface 222a is installed through knurling or anti-slip coating.

The bed unit 200 of the present invention may be formed in the structure illustrated in FIG. 4, but the present invention is not limited to this structure.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a first modification of the bed unit 200 of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the bed unit 200 according to a modification of the present invention, the lower support frame 210 and the bed leg 220 may be coupled through a hinge structure. Accordingly, the bed leg 220 may be formed in a foldable structure. The bed leg 220 may be formed in a structure that is unfolded outward from an inside of the lower support frame 210. The bed leg 220 may be formed in a foldable structure, and thus when the bed unit 200 is transported, a size of an exterior of the bed unit 200 may be reduced to facilitate the transportation.

FIG. 6 is a side cross-sectional view illustrating the first modification of the bed unit 200.

Referring to FIG. 6, a bed leg rotary shaft fixing plate 215 may be formed between the reinforcement support 214 and the bed leg 220. The bed leg rotary shaft fixing plate 215 may be a plate that limits a rotation angle of the bed leg 220. The bed leg rotary shaft fixing plate 215 may be formed to limit movement of one side of the bed leg 220 that is rotated 90° or more to prevent the bed leg 220 from being rotated inward 90° or more. In this case, to limit the rotation angle of the bed leg 220 of the bed leg rotary shaft fixing plate 215, a shock absorbing part 215a may be disposed therebetween. The shock absorbing part 215a may be made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicon. Further, the shock absorbing part 215a may have a coupling groove H formed therein. The coupling groove H may be formed in a structure in which the coupling groove H is coupled to a coupling protrusion D formed on one side of the bed leg 220. Accordingly, when the bed leg 220 is in a foldable posture, the bed leg 220 may be maintained in a fixed state in the form positioned inside the lower support frame 210 due to fastening between the coupling protrusion D and the coupling groove H.

FIG. 7 shows views (a), (b) and (c) illustrating a second modification and an operating example of the bed unit.

Referring to FIG. 7, the bed unit 200 according to the second modification may include a rod fitting stand rail 250. The rod fitting stand rail 250 may be coupled to and disposed on a side surface of the lower space A of the lower support frame 210. The rod fitting stand rail 250, which is a “II” shaped rail, may be a rail of which a movement path is guided by coupling the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240. The rod fitting stand rail 250 may be formed to extend from an upper side of the lower space A of the lower support frame 210 to a lower end thereof. Further, the rod fitting stand rail 250 may be disposed in the lower support frame 210 in an embedded form and thus may not protrude. Further, the rod fitting stand rail 250 may have an elevation movement path 250a formed therein as a vertically extending path. Further, the rod fitting stand rail 250 may have a plurality of exit paths 250b formed on one side of the elevation movement path 250a. The exit paths 250b may be passages formed as arc-shaped paths. The exit paths 250b may be paths that are open to the outside of the rod fitting stand rail 250 so that the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240 may be separated therefrom.

Meanwhile, wheels may be formed on the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240, which are moved through the rod fitting stand rail 250, so that the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240 may move along the rail. Further, the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240 may be provided with stopping units (not illustrated) that may be stopped at any positions while moving along the rod fitting stand rail 250. In this case, the stopping units (not illustrated) may be devices that bring the rail and the wheel into close contact with each other to form friction or limit a rolling motion of the wheel.

Further, a hinge rail 260 coupled to the reinforcement support 214 through a hinge coupling structure may be formed on an opposite side to a portion of the first rod fitting stand 230, in which the wheel is formed. The hinge rail 260 may be in a form in which two rails are coupled. Further, the hinge rail 260 may be a rail in which rails formed on the upper side and the lower side are coupled while overlapping each other. The rail coupled to the upper side of the hinge rail 260 may be coupled to the reinforcement support 214. Further, the rail coupled to the lower side may have a hinge formed at a lower end thereof so that the first rod fitting stand 230 may rotate. The first rod fitting stand 230 joined to the hinge rail 260 may perform a vertical movement and a rotational movement.

In the bed unit 200, heights of the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240 may be arbitrarily set, and thus a length of the bed leg 220 may be easily adjusted.

Further, the first and second rod fitting stands 230 and 240 may be coupled such that the rail and the hinge structure are combined and fastened to implement a foldable posture as in the first embodiment.

The fragmented bed 10 may be utilized for a plurality of purposes according to a form or arrangement in which the fragmented bed 10 is disposed.

FIG. 8 is a view illustrating a state in which a plurality of fragmented beds are coupled according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a plurality of fragmented beds 10 of the present invention may be coupled in a form in which side surfaces thereof are in contact with each other. In this case, a coupling state of the fragmented bed 10 may correspond to a form in which the conductors 211 positioned on side surfaces thereof are in contact with each other. Accordingly, the coupling between the fragmented beds 10 may be maintained due to an attractive force acting between the contact conductors 211. Accordingly, the fragmented bed 10 may be coupled and utilized in various arrangements according to a need of the user.
