Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201920775150.8, filed on May 27, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a bedstead.


BACKGROUND

Beds are ubiquitous in people's daily life and provide comfortable places for people to rest or sleep. The bed in the prior art generally includes a bedstead, and a cross rail is arranged at the hollow position in the middle of the bedstead to stably support the mattress in place. For the folding bed in the prior art, the bedstead is generally a rectangle formed by two side rails on both sides of the bedstead and two short rails at the front end and the rear end of the bedstead. The side rail and the cross rail are generally perpendicular to each other after being connected. Both the side rail and the cross rail, however, are metal parts and need to be welded together when assembled. This not only increases labor and manufacturing costs, but welding presents risks of injury to persons and property.


SUMMARY

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an objective of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a bedstead.


The present invention is realized by the following technical solutions:


A mounting structure for a bedstead includes a side rail and a cross rail of the bedstead. The side rail and the cross rail are connected by a connecting member. The connecting member includes a body. The body is provided with a first U-shaped groove in which the side rail is clamped. A second U-shaped groove in which the cross rail is clamped, is provided on one side of the body beside the first U-shaped groove. The opening of the second U-shaped groove faces sideward relative to the first U-shaped groove.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the first U-shaped groove faces downward.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the body includes a first piece body, a second piece body and a third piece body. The first piece body, the second piece body and the third piece body are connected to form the first U-shaped groove. The first piece body and the third piece body are located at two sides of the side rail, respectively, and contact two side end surfaces of the side rail, respectively. The second piece body is located above the side rail and contacts the upper end surface of the side rail.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the first piece body is provided with a first hole, the side rail is provided with a second hole, and the first hole coincides with the second hole. A connecting screw is screwed through the first hole and the second hole.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the end surface of the first piece body and/or the third piece body in contact with the side rail is provided with a protruding column. The side rail is provided with the second hole matched with the protruding column.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer diameter of the protruding column gradually increases from one end of the protruding column inserted into the second hole to the other end of the protruding column.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the other end surface of the third piece body is provided with a fourth piece body, a fifth piece body and a sixth piece body, wherein the other end surface of the third piece body is opposite to the end surface of the third piece body in contact with the side rail. The fourth piece body, the fifth piece body and the sixth piece body are connected to form a second U-shaped groove. The fourth piece body and the sixth piece body contact the front end surface and the rear end surface of the cross rail, respectively. The upper end surface of the sixth piece body contacts the lower end surface of the cross rail.


In an embodiment of the present invention, one end of each of the fourth piece body and the sixth piece body away from the fifth piece body is provided with a curved surface.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the first U-shaped groove faces laterally relative to the side rail.


In an embodiment of the present invention, the body includes a seventh piece body, an eighth piece body, and a ninth piece body. The seventh piece body, the eighth piece body and the ninth piece body are connected to form the first U-shaped groove. The seventh piece body and the ninth piece body are located at the upper side and the lower side of the side rail, respectively, and contact the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the side rail, respectively. The eighth piece body is located at the side of the side rail and contacts the side end surface of the side rail.


The mounting structure for the bedstead of the present invention has the following advantages. 1. The cross rail and the side rail are connected by a connecting member rather than a welding process, which not only diminishes the difficulty in production, but also avoids potential injury to workers during the welding process. 2. The cross rail and the side rail can be quickly, simply and conveniently connected by the snap-fit connection.
