TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of baby products, particularly a playpen component for safe use.
BACKGROUND
At present, the playpens on the market are mainly made of plastic and wood materials and aim to free the mother's hands by providing a safe and comfortable environment for the baby. The playpen is conducive to the cultivation of the baby's independent consciousness, thinking ability, and concentration, and provides a good play place for the baby to develop physical coordination. In the prior art, the playpen is composed of a plurality of fence pieces spliced together. The adjacent fence pieces are connected by a splicing component, including a left connector and a right connector. The right end of the left connector is provided with an upper connecting cylinder, and the left end of the right connector is provided with a lower connecting cylinder, such that the upper connecting cylinder and the lower connecting cylinder are socketed together. However, the socketed upper and lower connecting cylinders are not fixed, which may lead to the separation of the left connector and the right connector when the left connector is lifted accidentally. Given the above defect, the inventor has performed research on this problem and, as a result, provides the following solution to the problem.
