Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of household daily necessities, and particularly relates to a human body curve measuring instrument and a process for customizing a mattress by using the measuring instrument. Background Art

[0002] People spend more than one-third of their lives in bed, and the quality of sleep has a very important impact on people's health. The technological level and quality of the mattress directly affect the quality of people's sleep. Currently, there are mainly the following types of mattresses: one is a traditional bed board, which is composed of ordinary wooden boards (or wide wooden strips nailed to the transverse bed beams); the second is composed of plants, such as straw curtains and coir mattresses; the third is in the form of a rope net, such as a coir rope bed and the "cool bed" in some areas; the fourth is made of sponge or latex materials, with various colored fabric covers, which is basically similar to a quilt; the fifth is the most widely used at present, the steel spring mattress with the trade name "Simmons". These several types of mattresses have different thicknesses, hardnesses, and elasticities, but they all have a common drawback, that is, the whole mattress is uniformly thick, hard, and elastic, with basically no difference. When a person lies on the bed, due to the reasons of the human body's own curve, the back and buttocks receive greater supporting forces, while the neck and waist of a person cannot be effectively supported and are difficult to relax, and still remain in a tense state, without sufficient rest and relaxation. Or a cushion with adjustable hardness is added during use to suit individual sleep needs.

[0003] Therefore, a scientific mattress can be designed according to the human body curve, which can provide appropriate support for various parts of the human body, enable the human body to be fully relaxed on it, and is beneficial to the blood circulation of the human body. Due to the individual differences in the human body curve, people have begun to customize mattresses suitable for their own use. However, the current measuring instruments will produce corresponding errors, unprofessional operations, and data mistakes, so that they cannot fully meet all requirements and can only achieve comfort as much as possible. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a human body curve measuring instrument and a process for customizing a mattress by using the measuring instrument. By collecting data through a brand-new body imprint, a mattress soothing layer that completely conforms to the individual body curve is achieved, enabling the human body to fall asleep in a sleep environment suitable for its own body, and achieving full relaxation of the whole body.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A human body curve measuring instrument includes a contact measurement main body, a data collection end, and a data processing end.

[0007] The contact measurement main body includes a test box with an upper opening, a weight sensor layer, a plasticine layer, a plastic wrap layer, and a fabric layer laid from bottom to top inside the test box.

[0008] The data acquisition terminal can scan the pressure curves of different lying postures left by the human body on the surface of the plasticine layer; the pressure curves are specifically divided into the pressure curves of lying on the front and the pressure curves of lying on the side.

[0009] The data processing terminal draws a human body curve graph based on the collected pressure curve data and establishes a human body model in equal proportion; combining the test human body weight data input by the weight input module, it calculates the depth gravity of the curve indentation; then according to the imported mattress material data, it conducts a simulation ratio to match the gravity depth curve suitable for the human body and obtains a one-to-one sleep feeling mode.

[0010] Further, the thickness of the plasticine layer is 20 cm for gravity indentation.

[0011] Further, the surface area of the plastic wrap layer is larger than that of the plasticine layer. The plastic wrap layer is laid flat on the plasticine layer to play an isolation role. The excess part around the plastic wrap layer is attached to the inner wall of the test box to prevent the plasticine layer from overflowing from the four sides when it is sunken and displaced.

[0012] Further, the fabric layer uses white pure cotton fabric, which is convenient for observation while protecting the human body.

[0013] Further, the data acquisition terminal uses a three-dimensional laser spectrometer.

[0014] Further, the data processing terminal includes a data receiving module, a curve drawing module, a weight input module, a material selection module, and a modeling calculation module. The data receiving module receives the data from the data acquisition terminal. The curve drawing module draws a human body curve graph based on the collected pressure curve data. The modeling calculation module establishes a human body model in equal proportion; combining the test human body weight data input by the weight input module, the modeling calculation module calculates the depth gravity of the curve indentation; then according to the mattress material data imported by the material selection module, the modeling calculation module conducts a simulation ratio to match the gravity depth curve suitable for the human body and obtains a one-to-one sleep feeling mode.

[0015] The present invention also provides a process for customizing a mattress using the above human body curve measuring instrument, including the following steps:

Place memory foam, or latex, or high-density sponge, or cloud sense cotton, or cloud oxygen cotton, or various animal and plant fibers on the plasticine according to the customer's body shape; according to the customer's body weight, how much it is pressed down, and the sensors extract data to match the actual human body.

[0017] (2)Imprint data extraction: By using an instrument that detects the fit between human pressure and materials, collect data under static conditions. Through the pressure generated, the sensor obtains force, pressure, deformation, and forms an analysis. At the same time, perform matching to extract the imprint data;

[0018] (3)Three-dimensional curve data extraction: Scan the human body with a three-dimensional laser spectrometer to obtain the general outline of the human body, mark the depth and width of each body segment, and at the same time give the corresponding relationship between weight, height, and the body's BMI parameter, and print a report;

[0019] (4)Selection of soft materials: The selected soft materials include: polymer soft materials, sponge, latex, memory foam, fiber materials, upright cotton, aerobic cotton, horsehair, wool, and down;

[0020] (5)Comparison of material and human body characteristics: Select materials according to the customer's preference for the soft cushion. After inserting the soft cushion, obtain the curve fitting degree between the customer's body pressure and the soft cushion;

[0021] (6)Ratio and molding: Through the comparison of the front and rear end data and the curve graph, determine whether the body shape, body curve, downward pressure of each part of the customized customer, and the curve of the pressed material match each other; If the curve data extracted by gravity imprint after material selection is consistent with the body curve depth scanned by the three-dimensional laser scanner, it is demonstrated as ratio and molding;

[0022] (7)Production according to configuration: Press the soft cushion material, length, width, and customer preference added when extracting the imprint value, print the curve graphs of the front and rear ends, and transfer them to the production center for configuration production.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The human body curve tester provided by the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to use, and can quickly and accurately measure the curve data of various parts of the human body such as the head, neck, back, and legs at the same time. According to the data collected by the human body curve measuring instrument, it can help people carry out scientific mattress design. The surface of the prepared mattress undulates with the human body curve and becomes a curved surface that conforms to the human body curve. During sleep, all parts of the body can be effectively supported, especially the neck and waist can be effectively relaxed and rested. Brief description of the drawings
