Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of home furnishing technology, and in particular to a mattress splicing device. Background Technology

[0002] Mattresses, as a common household item, provide a comfortable sleeping environment. In hotels, guesthouses, and similar establishments, the different needs of guest rooms necessitate greater flexibility in mattress size requirements. For example, small rooms may only require a standard-sized mattress, while larger rooms require a larger one. However, frequently changing mattresses increases the workload for staff, and excessively large mattresses are inconvenient to move and clean. Therefore, the industry commonly uses two smaller mattresses joined together to create a larger mattress. However, this method also presents some problems. For instance, when using a three-sided joined mattress, gaps may appear between the two mattresses, and these gaps can widen under external force, affecting some customers' sleep and potentially leading to accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mattress splicing device that solves the problem in the prior art where gaps exist when two mattresses are spliced ​​together, affecting sleep.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A mattress splicing device includes a splicing strip for connecting two mattresses. Each mattress includes a mattress body and a surface pad that is detachably fixed above the mattress body. A ring-shaped groove is formed between the outer periphery of the mattress body and the outer periphery of the surface pad. The splicing strip includes a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and a connecting portion located between the first and second clamping plates. The connecting portion is distributed along the length of the splicing strip. The upper part of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the middle part of the first clamping plate, and the lower part of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the middle part of the second clamping plate. One side of the connecting portion, together with the lower surface of the first clamping plate and the upper surface of the second clamping plate, forms a first groove. The other side of the connecting portion, together with the lower surface of the first clamping plate and the upper surface of the second clamping plate, forms a second groove.

[0006] Furthermore, a support plate distributed along the length of the splicing strip is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second clamping plate. In this way, the entire splicing strip can be supported on the grooves of the two mattresses by the support plate, thereby preventing the splicing strip from being squeezed downwards and falling off during sleep.

[0007] Furthermore, the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate, the connecting portion, and the support plate are all rectangular elastic bodies molded from elastic materials. This gives the entire splicing strip a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to deform under pressure during sleep, even if pressed, thus improving sleep comfort.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastomer is made of polyurethane foam, which has good elastic deformation capability.

[0009] Furthermore, the first clamping plate and the connecting part, the second clamping plate and the connecting part, and the support plate and the second clamping plate are all fixedly connected by hot-melt bonding. In this way, the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate, the connecting part, and the support plate can be prepared separately and then assembled into a whole by hot-melt bonding, which facilitates the processing and preparation of splicing strips.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the first clamping plate is equal to the width of the second clamping plate, while the width of the support plate is greater than the width of the second clamping plate. By setting the widths of the first and second clamping plates to be the same, the shape and size of the first and second slots on both sides are consistent. Thus, the splicing strip does not need to be distinguished in terms of front and back when splicing the mattress. At the same time, setting the width of the support plate to be greater than the width of the second clamping plate allows the support plate and the second clamping plate to fit more closely when they are inserted into the grooves on the mattress, and it is also more conducive to the support plate providing effective support for the entire splicing strip.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second slots are provided with two protruding strips distributed along the length of the splicing strip. The two protruding strips in the first slot are located on the lower surface of the first clamping plate and the upper surface of the second clamping plate, respectively. Similarly, the two protruding strips in the second slot are located on the lower surface of the first clamping plate and the upper surface of the second clamping plate, respectively. Thus, during splicing, the protruding strips can be engaged with the recessed areas on the upper and lower sides of the edge strip on the mattress, thereby providing a secure connection between the splicing strip and the mattress.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the first clamping plate is fixed with a connecting structure that can be connected to two mattresses that are spliced ​​together. By setting the connecting structure, the connection between the splicing strip and the mattress can be further strengthened, effectively preventing the splicing strip from falling off the mattress.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting structure includes fixed pieces distributed along the length of the splicing strip. Flexible connecting pieces, which can extend and overlap the mattress, are respectively connected to both sides of the fixed pieces. The flexible connecting pieces are connected to the mattress using a detachable connecting device. In use, the flexible connecting pieces can be connected to the upper surface of the mattress using the detachable connecting device. Simultaneously, the flexible connecting pieces also provide a certain buffering transition between the mattress and the first clamping plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the detachable connecting device is double-sided adhesive; or, the detachable connecting device includes a textured hook and loop fastener and a barbed hook and loop fastener that are bonded together, with the barbed hook and loop fastener fixed to the lower surface of the flexible connecting piece and the textured hook and loop fastener fixed to the upper surface of the surface pad.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a mattress splicing device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] When in use, the invention uses a first slot to engage with the edge of the surface padding of one mattress and a second slot to engage with the edge of the surface padding of the other mattress, thereby achieving seamless splicing of two mattresses for use. It also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, providing excellent convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail through detailed embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides a mattress splicing device, including a splicing strip 1 for connecting two mattresses 2. As an example, the mattress 2 is a three-sided mattress, including a mattress body 21 and a surface pad 22 that is detachably fixed on top of the mattress body 21. A ring-shaped groove 23 is formed between the outer periphery of the mattress body 21 and the outer periphery of the surface pad 22. A pressing strip 24 is formed on the outer periphery of both the mattress body 21 and the surface pad 22. The splicing strip 1 includes a first clamping plate 11, a second clamping plate 12, and a connecting portion 13 located between the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12, which are arranged in parallel. The connecting portion 13 is distributed along the length of the splicing strip 1. The upper part of the connecting portion 13 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the first clamping plate 11, and the lower part of the connecting portion 13 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the second clamping plate 12. One side of the connecting portion 13, together with the lower surface of the first clamping plate 11 and the upper surface of the second clamping plate 12, forms a first slot 14. The other side of the connecting portion 13, together with the lower surface of the first clamping plate 11 and the upper surface of the second clamping plate 12, forms a second slot 15. The cross-sectional shape of the splicing strip 1 is approximately "I". In use, the first slot can be used to engage with the edge of the surface padding of one mattress, and the second slot can be used to engage with the edge of the surface padding of the other mattress, thereby achieving seamless splicing of two mattresses for use. It also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, providing excellent convenience.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, a support plate 16 distributed along the length of the splicing strip 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second clamping plate 12. In this way, the entire splicing strip can be supported on the grooves of the two mattresses by the support plate, thereby preventing the splicing strip from being squeezed downwards and falling off during sleep.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the first clamping plate 11, the second clamping plate 12, the connecting part 13, and the support plate 16 are all rectangular elastic bodies made of elastic material. This gives the entire splicing strip a certain degree of elasticity, so that even if it is pressed down during sleep, the splicing strip can deform under the pressure, improving sleep comfort.

[0040] Preferably, the elastomer is made of polyurethane foam, which has good elastic deformation capability.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the first clamping plate 11 and the connecting part 13, the second clamping plate 12 and the connecting part 13, and the support plate 16 and the second clamping plate 12 are all fixedly connected by hot-melt bonding. In this way, the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate, the connecting part, and the support plate can be prepared separately first, and then assembled into a whole by hot-melt bonding, which facilitates the processing and preparation of splicing strips.

[0042] Preferably, the width of the first clamping plate 11 is equal to the width of the second clamping plate 12, and the width of the support plate 16 is greater than the width of the second clamping plate 12. By setting the width of the first and second clamping plates to be the same, the shape and size of the first and second slots on both sides are consistent. In this way, the splicing strip does not need to distinguish between the front and back when splicing the mattress. At the same time, setting the width of the support plate to be larger than the width of the second clamping plate makes the support plate fit more closely when it is inserted into the groove on the mattress, and it is more conducive to the support plate providing effective support for the entire splicing strip.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a different structure for the splicing strip 1, which is an improvement on embodiment 1. Specifically, both the first slot 14 and the second slot 15 are provided with two protrusions 17 distributed along the length direction of the splicing strip 1. The two protrusions 17 in the first slot 14 are located on the lower surface of the first clamping plate 11 and the upper surface of the second clamping plate 12, respectively. The two protrusions 17 in the second slot 15 are located on the lower surface of the first clamping plate 11 and the upper surface of the second clamping plate 12, respectively. Thus, during splicing, the protrusions can be engaged with the upper and lower recesses of the edge strip on the mattress, thereby providing a tight connection between the splicing strip and the mattress.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 17 is semi-circular.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 This embodiment provides a splicing strip 1 with other structural forms, which is an improvement on embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the first clamping plate 11 is further fixed with a connecting structure that can be connected to the two mattresses 2 that are spliced ​​together. By setting the connecting structure, the connection tightness between the splicing strip 1 and the mattress 2 can be further increased, which can effectively prevent the splicing strip from falling off the mattress.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting structure includes fixed pieces 18 distributed along the length of the splicing strip 1. Flexible connecting pieces 181, which can extend and overlap the mattress 2, are respectively connected to both sides of the fixed pieces 18. The flexible connecting pieces 181 are connected to the mattress 2 using a detachable connecting device. The fixed pieces 181 are fixedly connected to the first clamping plate 11 by adhesive bonding. In use, the flexible connecting pieces can be connected to the upper surface of the mattress using the detachable connecting device. Simultaneously, the flexible connecting pieces also provide a certain buffering transition between the mattress and the first clamping plate.

[0049] More specifically, the detachable connection device includes adhesive hook and loop fasteners 183 and hook and loop fasteners 184. Preferably, hook and loop fasteners 184 are fixed to the lower surface of the flexible connecting piece 181, and hook and loop fasteners 183 are fixed to the upper surface of the surface padding layer 22, so that the hook and loop fasteners on the mattress will not affect normal use when splicing is not required.

[0050] When assembling mattresses, Velcro is used to attach flexible connecting pieces to the surface of the mattress, thereby reinforcing the connection and providing a certain degree of cushioning for the transition.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 This embodiment provides a splicing strip 1 with other structural forms. Unlike embodiment 3, the detachable connecting device is double-sided adhesive 182. When splicing the mattress, the double-sided adhesive 182 is used to bond and fix the flexible connecting piece 181 to the surface of the mattress 2, thereby achieving the effect of reinforcing the connection and providing a certain buffer transition connection.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
