[0002] Furniture such as beds and sofa beds are essential components of people's lives. Most of the existing beds and sofa beds are provided with elastic pads. The elastic pads have a certain elasticity. When people lie on the beds and sofa beds, the elastic pads can provide a certain elastic support, which has a certain degree of comfort compared to hard pads.

[0003] Existing elastic pads are usually one-piece, non-detachable and closed overall pads formed by a whole bottom layer, a spring layer, a sponge superimposed layer and a closed side surround, that is, the spring layer is arranged on the bottom layer, the sponge superimposed layer is arranged on the spring layer, and the closed side surround is connected between the sponge superimposed layer and the bottom layer to form a closed space.

[0004] However, in actual use, when people sit on such elastic pads, they usually feel that at least the edge of the elastic pads has a sense of collapse, especially after using it for a period of time, this feeling is particularly obvious. Therefore, the existing elastic pads usually have a relatively ordinary comfort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0075] Next, the elastic support assembly, elastic pad, assembly method thereof and furniture of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What is described here is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can think of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiment, and the other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0076] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an elastic support assembly 1, which can be configured to form an elastic pad 2. Figure 1-Figure 11 The first embodiment of the elastic support assembly 1, and Figure 16-Figure 27 A second embodiment of the elastic support component 1 is shown, which includes an elastic module layer 3 and a plurality of support bodies 4, wherein the elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of elastic modules 5 arranged in the lateral direction of the elastic pad, and the plurality of support bodies 4 are inserted at least between the elastic modules 5 located in the edge area of ​​the elastic module layer 3 along the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3.

[0077] In the elastic support component 1, since the elastic support component 1 includes multiple support bodies 4, and the multiple support bodies 4 are at least inserted between the elastic modules 5 located in the edge area of ​​the elastic module layer 3 along the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3, the elastic support component 1 is assembled into an elastic pad 2. In actual use of the elastic pad 2, when the user sits on the elastic pad 2, the elastic module 5 will be compressed. At this time, the support body 4 will provide effective support in at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2. Therefore, when the elastic support component 1 is assembled to form the elastic pad 2, the comfort of the elastic pad 2 can be effectively improved, especially the support comfort of the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2 can be effectively improved, so as to avoid a sense of collapse in at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2 after a period of use.

[0078] In addition, in some embodiments, if necessary, the support body 4 can be inserted between the elastic modules 5 in the middle area of ​​the elastic module layer 3 surrounded by the edge area, which can improve the supporting performance of the middle area of ​​the elastic pad 2.

[0079] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Fig.11 and Fig. 27 A plurality of support bodies 4 are inserted between all the elastic modules 5 of the outermost circle of the elastic module layer 3. In this way, while improving the supporting performance of the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2, the number of components of the elastic pad can be simplified as much as possible, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.

[0080] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 11-Figure 15 When the elastic module 5 is assembled to form the elastic pad 2 and is not compressed by external force, the height of the elastic module 5 is greater than the height of the support body 4. In this way, when the user sits on the elastic pad 2, the elastic module 5 is first compressed. When the height of the elastic module 5 is compressed to the same as that of the support body 4, the support body 4 will begin to provide support. At this time, the elastic support performance of at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2 can be further improved through the joint support of the elastic module 5 and the support body 4. It should be noted that at this time, the support body 4 can be an elastic support body, or it can be a hard support body.

[0081] In addition, in some embodiments, the support body 4 may be an elastic support body. In this case, as described above, the elastic module 5 and the support body 4 may have different heights. Alternatively, the elastic module 5 and the support body 4 may have the same height. For example, when the elastic module 5 is assembled to form the elastic pad 2 and is not compressed by an external force, the elastic module 5 and the support body 4 may have the same height. In this way, when the user sits on the elastic pad 2, the elastic module 5 and the support body 4 will be compressed at the same time and provide elastic support at the same time.

[0082] In addition, in the elastic support assembly 1, the support body 4 can have a variety of structural types. No matter what structural type the support body 4 adopts, as long as it can be inserted between the elastic modules 5 to provide support.

[0083] For example, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Fig.16 The support body 4 includes an outer support portion 6, an inner support portion 7, and an intermediate connection portion 8 connecting the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7, wherein the intermediate connection portion 8 is engaged with the outer surface of the adjacent elastic module 5. In this way, by engaging the intermediate connection portion 8 with the outer surface of the adjacent elastic module 5, the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7 can be stably and reliably positioned under the clamping action of the adjacent elastic module 5, so that when the user sits on the elastic pad 2, even if a local area of ​​the elastic pad 2 undergoes an allowable lateral movement due to pressure, the support body 4 can provide good, reliable and stable support.

[0084] In addition, in some embodiments, in order to provide more stable and reliable support at the corners of the elastic module layer 3, reference Fig.17 The support body 4 at the corner of the elastic module layer 3 includes two outer support parts 6 and one inner support part 7, wherein the two outer support parts 6 are respectively connected to the same inner support part 7 through their respective corresponding intermediate connection parts 8 to form an angle structure. In this way, the two outer support parts 6 and one inner support part 7 will form three stable support points, thereby better providing stable and reliable support at the corner of the elastic module layer 3.

[0085] In addition, in some embodiments, all the support bodies 4 can be connected together along the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3 using connecting strips (such as cloth strips, cloth tapes or elastic strips or elastic tapes). For example, at least one connecting strip can be used to surround the outer side of the elastic module layer 3 to connect the outer side surfaces of all the support bodies 4 together, which can further enhance the overall stability of all the support bodies 4.

[0086] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the middle connecting portion 8 is formed as a middle supporting portion, and the outer supporting portion 6, the middle supporting portion and the inner supporting portion 7 are formed as one body. In this way, the middle supporting portion not only engages with the outer surface of the adjacent elastic module 5, but also can provide effective support, so that the outer supporting portion 6, the middle supporting portion and the inner supporting portion 7 formed as one body can further enhance stable and reliable support.

[0087] In addition, in order to further improve the supporting performance, in the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3, the two side surfaces 9 of the support body 4 are respectively adaptively engaged with the shape of the outer surface of the adjacent elastic module 5. In this way, the two side surfaces 9 of the support body 4 will completely fit the outer surface of the adjacent elastic module 5, thereby further improving the supporting performance of the support body 4.

[0088] In addition, in the elastic support assembly 1, the elastic module 5 can have a variety of shapes. For example, the elastic module 5 can be a body of equal diameter extending in the height direction, such as a cylinder or a square cylinder. Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,as well as Fig. 20 and Fig.21 The elastic module 5 is a conical module with a small end facing upward and a large end facing downward, and correspondingly, the support body 4 is a support body with a large end facing upward and a small end facing downward. For example, Figure 1-Figure 3 The size of the first support body 4 shown increases from bottom to top, and forms Figure 2 and Figure 3 The waist shape shown.

[0089] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 16-18The middle connecting portion 8 is formed as a connecting piece, so that the structure of the second supporting body 4 can be further simplified.

[0090] In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic module 5 is a conical module with a small end facing upward and a large end facing downward, and the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7 are conical support portions with a large end facing upward and a small end facing downward, and are connected by a connecting piece.

[0091] In addition, in the elastic support assembly 1, the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7 can have various types, for example, the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7 can be solid, such as an elastic solid. For another example, the outer support portion 6 and the inner support portion 7 can be hollow. For example, referring to FIG. Figure 16-18 The support body 4 includes an outer cloth tube 11 and an inner cloth tube 12 connected by a connecting cloth sheet 10, an outer spring 13 and an inner spring 14, wherein the outer spring 13 is arranged in the outer cloth tube 11 to form an outer support portion 6, and the inner spring 14 is arranged in the inner cloth tube 12 to form an inner support portion 7. In this way, the cloth tube can be formed into a hollow body, and when stored, a plurality of such support bodies 4 can be nested and stacked together in sequence, referring to Fig.19 , thereby improving the convenience of storing the elastic support component, facilitating transportation, and effectively reducing storage space.

[0092] In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic module 5 can be a solid body, for example, a rubber body. In other embodiments, the elastic module 5 can be a hollow body, for example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic module 5 includes a accommodating cloth tube 51 and a supporting spring 52. The supporting spring 52 is arranged in the accommodating cloth tube 51 to provide elastic support, and the accommodating cloth tube 51 makes the elastic module 5 form a hollow body, which can not only provide stable and reliable support, but also reduce the weight of the elastic module 5. When storing, it is only necessary to nest and stack a plurality of elastic modules 5 in sequence, thereby improving the convenience of storage of the elastic support assembly, facilitating transportation, and effectively reducing storage space.

[0093] In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic module layer 3 can be an integral component. In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 4-Figure 9 as well as Figure 20-Figure 25 The elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of elastic module units 15, each elastic module unit 15 includes a support plate 16 and a plurality of elastic modules 5 mounted on the support plate 16. In this way, when in use, it is only necessary to splice the plurality of support plates 16, and when storing, it is only necessary to store the plurality of elastic module units 15, thereby improving the convenience of assembling and storing the elastic pad 2.

[0094] In addition, in some embodiments, the plurality of support plates 16 can be spliced ​​together along the lateral direction of the elastic pad through the splicing structure between them, and the connection of the splicing structure can further improve the stability of the splicing of the plurality of elastic module units 15. In addition, the splicing structure can be of various types, and no matter what structure the splicing structure adopts, as long as it can connect the plurality of elastic module units 15 together, for example, the splicing structure can include a clamping column and a rotating buckle, or include matching splicing grooves and splicing protrusions.

[0095] In addition, in some embodiments, the splicing side edge 26 of the support plate 16 may be a straight structure in its extension direction, which can be referred to as Figure 4 .

[0096] In some other embodiments, reference Fig. 20 Each support plate 16 includes two opposite splicing side edges 26 and two opposite stopper ends 28, wherein each stopper end 28 serves as a stopper protrusion 23 protruding outward in an arc shape, so that the interval between the stopper protrusions 23 of adjacent support plates 16 serves as a stopper recess 24; each splicing side edge 26 is formed with a plurality of positioning openings 25 arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the splicing side edge, so that the remaining portion of each splicing side edge 26 is formed into a plurality of positioning sections 29 arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the splicing side edge. In this way, referring to Figure 23-Figure 25 During assembly, each stopper end 28 will be matched with the corresponding positioning recess 22 of the one-circle positioning flange 20 of the base 19 of the elastic pad 2, and the stopper recess 24 will be matched with the corresponding positioning protrusion 21 of the one-circle positioning flange 20 of the base 19 of the elastic pad 2. Fig.23 In the length direction of the elastic pad), the positioning opening 25 of the outer side joint edge 26 of each outermost support plate 16 will be aligned with the corresponding positioning protrusion 21 (for example, Fig.23 The positioning section 29 is adapted to the shape of the base 19 of the elastic pad 2, and the positioning section 29 is adapted to the corresponding positioning recess 22 (for example Fig.23 The width side of the base 19 is adapted to the shape.

[0097] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an elastic pad 2, referring to Fig.14 and Fig.15 ,as well as Fig.28 and Fig.29 The elastic pad 2 includes a cushion layer 17 and any of the elastic support components 1 described in the first aspect above, wherein the cushion layer 17 can be laid on multiple elastic modules 5 of the elastic support component 1.

[0098] In this way, after the cushion layer 17 is laid on the elastic module 5 and covers all the elastic modules 5, the user can lie or sit on the elastic pad 2. As described in the first aspect above, the support body 4 will provide effective support in at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2. Therefore, the support comfort of the elastic pad, especially the edge area of ​​the elastic pad, is effectively improved, avoiding a sense of collapse in at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad after a period of use.

[0099] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 A plurality of receiving holes 18 for receiving the corresponding elastic modules 5 are formed on the lower surface of the cushion layer 17, and at least the upper end of each elastic module 5 is received in the corresponding receiving hole 18. In this way, the stability of the cushion layer 17 can be further improved through the receiving and positioning of each elastic module 5 and each receiving hole 18. At the same time, the cushion layer 17 can also effectively restrict the movement of all the elastic modules 5 in the lateral direction of the balance pad 2 by its integrity, which can further improve the balance and support comfort of the elastic pad 2.

[0100] In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic support assembly 1 can directly serve as a bottom layer to contact the ground or other surfaces. Figure 8 The elastic pad 2 further includes a base 19, wherein the elastic module layer 3 is arranged on the base 19. In this way, the supporting performance of the elastic pad 2 can be further improved through the base 19. In addition, the base 19 can be a hard base, or can be an elastic base.

[0101] In addition, in some embodiments, the elastic module layer 3 can be directly placed on the base 19. In addition, in some embodiments, a positioning structure is provided on the upper surface of the base 19, and the positioning structure keeps the elastic module layer 3 in position. Through the positioning structure, the stability of the elastic support assembly 1 set on the base 18 can be further improved.

[0102] In addition, in the elastic pad 2, the positioning structure can have various types, for example, the positioning structure can be Velcro, and the elastic module layer 3 can be attached to the upper surface of the base 19 by Velcro. Figure 6-Figure 8 The positioning structure includes a circle of positioning flanges 20 formed on the outer edge of the upper surface of the base 19, and the elastic module layer 3 is positioned in the positioning flanges 20. For example, when the elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of elastic module units 15, each elastic module unit 15 includes a support plate 16 and a plurality of elastic modules 5 installed on the support plate 16, it is only necessary to place each support plate 16 in the positioning flanges 20 and contact them in sequence to complete the assembly of the plurality of elastic module units 15.

[0103] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Fig.23 and Fig.24 At least one inner peripheral surface of the positioning flange 20 includes a plurality of spaced positioning protrusions 21, and a positioning recess 22 is formed between adjacent positioning protrusions 21. The positioning protrusions 21 and the positioning recess 22 can have various shapes, such as square protrusions and square recesses, or pointed protrusions and arc recesses; at least one corresponding outer peripheral surface of the elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of stop protrusions 23, and a stop recess 24 is formed between adjacent stop protrusions 23; wherein, the positioning protrusions 21 are adaptively matched in shape in the stop recess 24, and the stop protrusions 23 are adaptively matched in shape in the positioning recess 22. In this way, the reliability of the positioning of the elastic module layer 3 can be significantly improved.

[0104] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 23-Figure 25 When the elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of elastic module units 15, and each elastic module unit 15 includes a support plate 16 and a plurality of elastic modules 5 mounted on the support plate 16, both ends of each support plate 16 serve as stop protrusions 23, and the interval between adjacent support plates 16 serves as stop recesses 24. In this way, during assembly, it is only necessary to clamp each support plate 16 in sequence.

[0105] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Fig.23 and Fig.24 , the positioning structure includes a positioning block 27 formed on the upper surface of the base 19, and the positioning block 27 cooperates with the corresponding positioning opening 25 of the elastic module layer 3. For example, when the elastic module layer 3 is a single integral component, an opening is formed on the elastic module layer 3 as the positioning opening 25. During assembly, the positioning block 27 only needs to be snap-fitted into the corresponding positioning opening 25. Alternatively, when the elastic module layer 3 includes a plurality of elastic module units 15, and each elastic module unit 15 includes a support plate 16 and a plurality of elastic modules 5 mounted on the support plate 16, a positioning opening 25 is formed on the splicing side of each support plate 16. During assembly, the positioning openings 25 of adjacent support plates 16 will be snap-fitted with the corresponding same positioning block 27.

[0106] The number of positioning blocks 27 can be set according to actual needs. Fig.24 In the embodiment, two rows of positioning blocks 27 are formed on the upper surface of the base 19 .

[0107] In addition, the elastic pad 2 can be used in any desired application. For example, the elastic pad 2 can be used as an outdoor pad and an indoor pad. For example, the elastic pad 2 can be used as an elastic mattress, a sofa pad, a chair pad, and a bench pad.

[0108] In a third aspect, the present invention provides an elastic pad assembly method, which comprises: providing an elastic module layer 3, the elastic module layer 3 comprising a plurality of elastic modules 5 arranged in the lateral direction of the elastic pad; inserting a plurality of support bodies 4 at least between the elastic modules 5 located in the edge area of ​​the elastic module layer 3 along the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3; and laying a pad layer 17 on the plurality of elastic modules 5.

[0109] Since multiple support bodies 4 are inserted at least between the elastic modules 5 located in the edge area of ​​the elastic module layer 3 along the circumferential direction of the elastic module layer 3, when the user sits on the elastic pad, the elastic module 3 will be compressed. At this time, the support bodies 4 will provide effective support in at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2. Therefore, the comfort of the elastic pad can be effectively improved, especially the support comfort of the edge area of ​​the elastic pad can be effectively improved, avoiding the collapse of at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad after a period of use.

[0110] In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad assembly method, the support body 4 can be inserted between the elastic modules 5 in the middle area surrounded by the edge area of ​​the elastic module layer 3, so that the support performance of the middle area of ​​the elastic pad 2 can be improved. In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad assembly method, the support body 4 can be clamped between all the elastic modules 5 in the outermost circle. In this way, while improving the support performance of the edge area of ​​the elastic pad 2, the number of components of the elastic pad can be simplified as much as possible, and the convenience of assembly can be improved.

[0111] In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad assembly method, at least the upper end of each elastic module 5 is accommodated in the corresponding accommodation hole 18 on the lower surface of the cushion layer 17. In this way, the stability of the cushion layer 17 can be further improved through the accommodation and positioning of each elastic module 5 and each accommodation hole 18. At the same time, the cushion layer 17 can also use its integrity to effectively restrict the movement of all elastic modules 5 in the lateral direction of the balance pad 2, which can further improve the balance and support comfort of the elastic pad 2.

[0112] In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad assembly method, the plurality of supports 4 may be hard supports, or may be elastic supports, and the elastic supports may be sponge supports or rubber supports.

[0113] In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad assembly method, a base 19 with a positioning structure is provided, and the elastic module layer 3 is arranged on the base 19 through the positioning structure. In this way, the support performance of the elastic pad 2 can be further improved through the base 19. In addition, the base 19 can be a hard base, or it can be an elastic base. At the same time, the stability of the elastic support assembly 1 arranged on the base 18 can be further improved through the positioning structure.

[0114] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides an elastic pad, which is assembled by any of the elastic pad assembly methods described in the third aspect above. In this way, the comfort of the elastic pad can be effectively improved, especially the support comfort of the edge area of ​​the elastic pad can be effectively improved, and the feeling of collapse of at least the edge area of ​​the elastic pad after a period of use can be avoided.

[0115] In addition, the elastic pad 2 can be used in any desired application. For example, the elastic pad 2 can be used as an outdoor pad and an indoor pad. For example, the elastic pad 2 can be used as an elastic mattress, a sofa pad, a chair pad, and a bench pad.
