Abstract

The present invention is provided with a structure for connecting a cross member and a stand member of a bunk bed and a bunk bed. With two pairs of inclined surfaces, the cross member, the upper stand member, and the lower stand member can be quickly connected. The assembly and disassembly are quite convenient, time saving and labor saving.

and
at least a portion of a first connection between the external side surface of the bottom portion of the upper stand member and the internal side surface of the insert hole contacts a portion of a second connection between the internal side surface of the shaft sleeve and the external side surface of the housing.

2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein:
the housing and the lower stand member are integrally formed,
an external edge of a top end of the elastic inner sleeve comprises a limit ring protruding outward,
the limit ring hangs on a top end face of the shaft sleeve,
a bottom end of a side wall of the elastic inner sleeve comprises a plurality of claw catches arranged along a circumferential direction of the elastic inner sleeve, and
each of the plurality of claw catches elastically stretches to be clamped to the housing.

3. The structure according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic inner sleeve is a plastic member or a deformable member.

4. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the joint portion is welded or locked to the top portion of the lower stand member.

5. The structure according to claim 4 , wherein the lower stand member is a hollow pipe.

6. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein:
the lower stand member is a solid pipe, and
the joint portion and the lower stand member are integrally formed.
