    • each of the longitudinal telescopic rods 4 comprises a sub-rod 41 and a sleeve pipe 42 arranged below the sub-rod 41, and the sub-rod 41 is telescopically sleeved by the sleeve pipe 42;
    • at least one of the longitudinal telescopic rods 4 is provided with a positioning structure 5; the positioning structure 5 comprises a spring loaded buckle 51 and a positioning hole 52; the spring loaded buckle 51 is positioned at a lower portion of the sub-rod 41; a buckle pin 511 of the spring loaded buckle 51 points outwardly from the sub-rod 41; the positioning hole 52 is aligned with the buckle pin 511 of the spring loaded buckle 51 and is arranged at an upper portion of the sleeve pipe 42.


The spring loaded buckle 51 is a conventional component and comprises said buckle pin 511 and a V-shaped spring sheet 512.


With reference to FIG. 5, because the longitudinal telescopic rods 4 have the sub-rods 41 and the sleeve pipes 42 telescopically disposed in relation to each other, after the lower connecting rod 2 is disengaged from the two supporting rods 3, positioning function of each positioning structure 5 can be released by pressing a respective buckle pin 511, so that a distance between the upper connecting rod 1 and the lower connecting rod 2 can be adjusted, for example, the lower connecting rod 2 can move upwardly towards the upper connecting rod 1, thereby greatly reducing the height of the headboard, reducing the size of the headboard and facilitating packaging and transportation. Also, by means of the positioning structure 5, at least one sub-rod 41 and a corresponding sleeve pipe 42 can be fixed against each other at an extended state. Specifically, during assembly, the upper connecting rod 1 and the lower connecting rod 2 are pulled apart from each other, thus driving the sub-rods 41 to be telescopically withdrawn from the corresponding sleeve pipes 42 until the buckle pin 511 is inserted into the positioning hole 52 in each positioning structure 5 to achieve a fixed extended state of a respective pair of sub-rod and sleeve pipe. Accordingly, the headboard is also in a fixed extended state, and then the two supporting rods 3 are sequentially installed to complete assembly. Further, the positioning structure 5 also serves the function to avoid the problem that many sub-rods 41 and sleeve pipes 42 are difficult to match and assemble in case the sub-rods 41 and the sleeve pipes 42 are separated from each other completely, therefore, quick assembly can be achieved, and the installation efficiency is improved.


In the present embodiment, at least two longitudinal telescopic rods 4 are each provided with the positioning structure 5, so that the positioning effect is enhanced. In the present embodiment, a total of seven longitudinal telescopic rods 4 are provided, and two longitudinal telescopic rods 4 at left and right sides of the middle longitudinal telescopic rod 4 respectively are each provided with said positioning structure 5.


Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, a lower end of each the sleeve pipe 42 is fixed to the lower connecting rod 2 by for example welding, and a sliding cavity 421 is formed inside each sleeve pipe 42, and the sliding cavity is in communication with an upper end of the sleeve pipe 42; an upper end of each sub-rod 41 is fixed to the upper connecting rod 1 by for example welding, and a lower end of each sub-rod 41 is movably inserted in a corresponding sliding cavity 421, so that the sub-rod 41 is slidable in the corresponding sliding cavity 421.


It is also possible to configure a length of each sub-rod 41 to be not greater than a depth of the corresponding sliding cavity 421, so that the sub-rod 41 can be completely accommodated inside the corresponding sleeve pipe 42 to minimize the packaging size of the headboard.


As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, at least one sub-rod 41 is provided with a cavity 411 inside, a sidewall of the lower portion of said at least one sub-rod 41 has an opening 412 in communication with the cavity 411, a corresponding spring loaded buckle 51 is installed in the cavity 411, the V-shaped spring sheet 512 of the corresponding spring loaded buckle 51 is located in the cavity 411, and the buckle pin 511 of the corresponding spring loaded buckle 51 extends out of the opening 412 from the cavity 411; the lower portion of said at least one sub-rod 41 is inserted downwardly to the sliding cavity 421 of a corresponding sleeve pipe 42 and is slidable therein; and a corresponding positioning hole 52 is in communication with the sliding cavity 421. Therefore, when the sub-rod 41 slides in the sliding cavity 421, after the buckle pin 511 is aligned to the positioning hole 52, biasing force of the V-shaped spring sheet 512 will eject the buckle pin 511 out of the positioning hole 52, and the sub-rod 41 is hence fixed with respect to the corresponding sleeve pipe 42.


As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in the present embodiment, the upper portion of the sleeve pipe 42 of each of the longitudinal telescopic rods 4 is further sleeved by a protective sleeve 6; the protective sleeve 6 is internally provided with a through hole 61 penetrating through an upper end and a lower end of the protective sleeve 6, and the through hole 61 allows the sleeve pipe 42 to pass through.
