Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elastic pad technology, and in particular to an elastic module storage bracket, an elastic module storage device, an elastic pad, a piece of furniture, and a method of using an elastic pad. Background Technology

[0002] Beds, sofa beds, and other furniture are essential parts of people's lives. Most existing beds and sofa beds are equipped with elastic mattresses. These mattresses have a certain degree of elasticity, providing support and comfort compared to hard mattresses when people lie on them.

[0003] Existing elastic mattresses are typically one-piece, non-removable, and enclosed units consisting of a base layer, a spring layer, a foam overlay, and closed side panels. Specifically, the spring layer sits on top of the base layer, the foam overlay is placed on top of the spring layer, and the closed side panels connect the foam overlay and the base layer to create a sealed space. However, the top surface of these mattresses is currently flat, requiring additional pillows for head support when users rest on them. Furthermore, these mattresses are not only expensive but also lack stability in practical use, reducing comfort, are inconvenient to move, and take up considerable space when stored. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of at least some of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to enable the elastic pad to have good head and body support function, so as to improve the comfort of the elastic pad, facilitate the handling of the elastic pad, and effectively reduce the space occupied by the elastic pad when storing it.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a flexible module storage bracket, the flexible module storage bracket including a base plate and a mounting base, the base plate including an upper surface and a lower surface disposed opposite to each other along the height direction of the flexible module storage bracket; the mounting base being disposed on the upper surface and extending in the height direction; wherein the flexible module storage bracket is capable of changing from a first usage state to a second usage state; in the first usage state, the mounting base is configured to allow the bottommost flexible module of a plurality of sequentially nested and stacked flexible modules to be fitted onto the mounting base, such that the plurality of sequentially nested and stacked flexible modules are stored on the flexible module storage bracket; in the second usage state, the flexible module storage bracket is capable of being placed on the flexible modules such that the mounting base faces the plurality of flexible modules, such that the flexible module storage bracket can be used as a pillow unit, wherein the lower surface facing upward serves as the head support surface of the pillow unit.

[0006] In this technical solution, since the elastic module storage bracket includes a base plate and a mounting seat, and in the first use state, the mounting seat is configured (e.g., mounting seat facing upward) to allow the bottommost elastic module of a plurality of elastic modules that are nested and stacked in sequence to be fitted on the mounting seat for storage, and in the second use state, the elastic module storage bracket is placed on the elastic module with the lower surface facing upward as the head support surface of the pillow unit. Therefore, when assembling the elastic module storage bracket into an elastic mat, multiple elastic modules of the elastic mat can be removed from the mounting seats of each elastic module storage bracket and assembled into an elastic support layer. Then, each elastic module storage bracket is changed to a second usage state, with the mounting seats of each elastic module storage bracket facing downwards and supported on their respective elastic modules. In this way, the elastic module storage bracket serves as a pillow unit. At this time, the lower surface of the base plate faces upwards as the head support surface of the pillow unit. Thus, the pillow unit will be higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the padding layer of the elastic mat can be laid on the elastic support layer and cover each pillow unit. In this way, a headrest can be formed on the padding layer through each pillow unit, so that the elastic mat has good head and body support function. When the user lies on the balance mat, the head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic mat. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad, the pad layer can be removed and gathered, and the storage brackets of each elastic module can be changed to the first use state. Each elastic module can be removed and nested in sequence and stored on its corresponding placement seat. Therefore, it is convenient to store and move the elastic pad and effectively reduce the space occupied by the elastic pad when it is stored.

[0007] In some embodiments, the top of the mounting base includes a engagement structure configured to engage with the top of the resilient module to allow the mounting base to be supported on the resilient module.

[0008] In some embodiments, the engagement structure includes a recess formed on the top of the mounting base, the shape of which matches the shape of the top of the elastic module, such that in the second use state, the recess can reliably fit onto the top of the elastic module.

[0009] In some implementations, the seat is designed to be height-adjustable according to the user's desired headrest height.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting base is a frame structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mounting base includes a top body, a bottom body disposed on the base plate, and a plurality of support bars connecting the top body and the bottom body, the plurality of support bars being arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting base such that the top body and the base plate maintain a predetermined distance.

[0012] In some embodiments, each of the support bars includes at least two segments that are sequentially connected and whose telescoping lengths can be adjusted relative to each other.

[0013] In some embodiments, the top body has an inwardly recessed portion extending toward the bottom body, such that the top body is formed as a cylindrical body capable of being fitted onto the top of the elastic module. A plurality of circumferentially spaced through openings are formed on the wall surface of the cylindrical body, each through opening extending from the side wall of the cylindrical body to the bottom wall of the cylindrical body, wherein one end of each support bar is connected to the upper edge of a corresponding through opening.

[0014] In some embodiments, the base plate has an opening that penetrates the base plate, the opening being divided into multiple hole portions by radially extending connecting strips, wherein the mounting seat is disposed on the edge of the opening.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base plate also includes lifting straps detachably disposed on opposite sides of the base plate.

[0016] In some embodiments, the base plate includes opposing long sides, and on each long side, the two ends of the lifting strap are detachably connected to the same long side and close to the two ends of the long side.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lifting straps are configured to hold the elastic pads in a gathered state between the lifting straps.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a flexible module storage device, the flexible module storage device comprising a plurality of flexible module storage brackets as described in any of the first aspects, wherein the plurality of base plates are detachably spliced ​​together to form a splice body, and the plurality of mounting seats are located on the same side of the splice body.

[0019] In this way, since multiple base plates are detachably spliced ​​together to form a splice body of the elastic module storage device, and multiple mounting seats are located on the same side of the splice body, as described above, in the second use state, the splice body faces upward so that its lower surface can serve as a head support surface. Therefore, when assembling the elastic module storage device into an elastic pad, multiple elastic modules of the elastic pad can be removed from the mounting seats of each elastic module storage bracket and assembled into an elastic support layer. Then, one or more elastic module storage devices are changed to the second use state, so that the mounting seats of each elastic module storage device face downward and are supported on their respective elastic modules. In this way, the lower surface of the splice body faces upward as a head support surface. Thus, the elastic module storage device will be higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the pad layer of the elastic pad can be laid on the elastic support layer and cover the elastic module storage device. In this way, a headrest can be formed on the pad layer through the elastic module storage device, so that the elastic pad has good head and body support function. When the user lies on the balance pad, the head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad, the pad layer can be removed and gathered, and the elastic module storage device can be switched to the first use state. Each elastic module can be removed, nested and stacked in sequence, and placed on its corresponding mounting base for storage. Therefore, it is convenient to store and move the elastic pad and effectively reduce the space occupied by the elastic pad when storing it.

[0020] In some embodiments, multiple base plates are integrally formed so that the splice body is formed as a single piece.

[0021] In some embodiments, lifting straps are provided on at least two spaced-apart sides of the base plate on opposite sides.

[0022] In some embodiments, the splice body includes opposing long sides, and on each of the long sides of the splice body, the two ends of the lifting strap are detachably connected to the same long side and maintain a distance.

[0023] In some embodiments, the lifting straps on both sides are configured to bind the elastic pad in a gathered state between the lifting straps.

[0024] Thirdly, the present invention provides an elastic pad, the elastic pad including a pad layer, a headrest body and a plurality of elastic modules, wherein the plurality of elastic modules can be spliced ​​together along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to assemble an elastic support layer, the headrest body can be supported on a portion of the elastic modules such that the top surface of the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules, the pad layer can be fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules, and the headrest body forms a headrest portion on the pad layer.

[0025] In this technical solution, the elastic pad includes a headrest body, which supports a portion of the elastic modules in the elastic support layer and is higher than the remaining elastic modules. The padding layer is fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules, forming a headrest area on the padding layer through the headrest body. This allows the elastic pad to provide excellent head and body support. When the user lies on the balance pad, their head can be supported on the headrest area, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. Furthermore, when the elastic pad needs to be stored, the padding layer can be removed and folded up, and the individual elastic modules can be folded up (e.g., nested and stacked sequentially). This facilitates the storage and transportation of the elastic pad and effectively reduces the space occupied during storage.

[0026] In some embodiments, the elastic pad includes a stowed state in which multiple elastic modules are nested and stacked sequentially, with the bottommost elastic module fitted onto the headrest body.

[0027] In some embodiments, the headrest body is any of the elastic module storage brackets in the first aspect, and each elastic module storage bracket corresponds to a plurality of elastic modules; the elastic pad includes a stored state and an unfolded state; in the stored state, the plurality of elastic modules corresponding to each elastic module storage bracket are nested and stacked sequentially, and the bottommost elastic module is fitted onto the placement seat, so that the plurality of elastic modules nested and stacked sequentially are stored on the corresponding elastic module storage bracket; in the unfolded state, all the elastic modules are assembled into the elastic support layer, the plurality of placement seats face downwards and are arranged sequentially to support their respective corresponding elastic modules, the plurality of base plates face upwards, so that the plurality of pillow units are arranged to form a headrest body, and the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules, and the pad layer is fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules.

[0028] In some embodiments, the headrest body is any of the elastic module storage devices described in the second aspect above; the elastic pad includes a stored state and an unfolded state; in the stored state, multiple elastic modules corresponding to each elastic module storage bracket are nested and stacked sequentially, with the bottommost elastic module fitted onto the mounting base, so that the multiple elastic modules nested and stacked sequentially are stored on the corresponding elastic module storage bracket; in the unfolded state, all the elastic modules are assembled into the elastic support layer, and multiple mounting bases are supported downwards on their respective corresponding elastic modules, with the splicing body facing upwards, so that the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules, and the pad layer is fixedly laid on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules.

[0029] In some embodiments, the elastic pad includes a plurality of elastic module units, each of the elastic module units including a substrate and a plurality of elastic modules disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of substrates can be detachably spliced ​​together along the lateral direction of the elastic pad so that the plurality of elastic module units are assembled into the elastic support layer.

[0030] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the pad and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer are connected by an edge fastening structure.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the pad has a stop ring extending toward the elastic module at its edge, and the stop ring and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer are connected by the edge fastening structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, the edge fastening structure causes the elastic pad to form an elastic pad without a sealed sidewall.

[0033] In some embodiments, the edge fastening structure includes a releasably connected connecting cord.

[0034] In some embodiments, the padding layer includes a folded state, wherein the folded padding layer is secured between the lifting straps of the headrest body.

[0035] In some embodiments, the padding layer is a layer of material that can be folded or rolled up.

[0036] In some embodiments, the padding layer includes a plurality of pad blocks arranged along the length of the elastic pad, with adjacent pad blocks connected by a thinned, flexible hinge portion.

[0037] In some embodiments, the flexible hinge portion includes a groove formed on the upper surface and / or lower surface of the pad and extending along the width direction of the elastic pad.

[0038] In some embodiments, the elastic pad serves as an elastic mattress.

[0039] Fourthly, the present invention provides a piece of furniture, the furniture comprising any of the elastic pads described in the third aspect above.

[0040] In addition, the furniture includes, but is not limited to, beds, sofas, chairs, sofa beds, upholstered benches, etc.

[0041] Fifthly, the present invention provides a method for using an elastic pad, the method comprising: when the elastic pad is unfolded, splicing together multiple elastic modules along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to assemble an elastic support layer, changing the headrest body from a first use state to a second use state, and supporting the headrest body's mounting base on a portion of the elastic modules so that the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules, laying the pad layer on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules, the headrest body forming a headrest portion on the pad layer; when the elastic pad is folded up, removing the pad layer and the headrest body, changing the headrest body to the first use state so that the headrest body's mounting base faces upward, nesting and stacking multiple elastic modules sequentially, and placing the bottommost elastic module on the mounting base, so that the nested and stacked multiple elastic modules are stored on the headrest body.

[0042] In this technical solution, a headrest is formed on the padding layer by the headrest body, thus providing the elastic pad with good head and body support. When the user lies on the balance pad, their head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad, the padding layer can be removed and folded up, and the individual elastic modules can be nested and stacked on the headrest body in sequence.

Detailed Implementation

[0065] The elastic pad and furniture of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described herein are merely preferred embodiments of the invention; those skilled in the art can conceive of other ways to implement the invention based on these preferred embodiments, and such other ways also fall within the scope of the invention.

[0066] It should be noted that, although Figure 1 The image shows the flexible module storage device 16; however, in some embodiments, Figure 1 The flexible module storage device 16 can be formed by six flexible module storage brackets 1 provided by the present invention, for example, by integrally molding the base plates 2 of the six flexible module storage brackets 1 into a single piece. Therefore, Figure 1 The flexible module storage device 16 can be divided into six independent flexible module storage brackets 1, each of which includes a base plate 2 and a mounting seat 5 thereon. However, it should be understood that the mounting seat 5 on the base plate 2 of the flexible module storage bracket 1 provided by the present invention is not limited to one; that is, a base plate 2 may have one mounting seat 5, or multiple (e.g., two or three) spaced mounting seats 5.

[0067] Therefore, in the first aspect, refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 8 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The elastic module storage bracket 1 provided by the present invention includes a base plate 2 and a mounting base 5. The base plate 2 includes an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4 disposed opposite each other along the height direction of the elastic module storage bracket 1. The mounting base 5 is disposed on the upper surface and extends in the height direction. For example, the mounting base 5 can be a separate component connected to the upper surface 4, or the mounting base 5 can be integrally formed with the base plate 2 as a single piece. The elastic module storage bracket 1 can be used from a first usage state (…). Figure 1Transformation (e.g., flipping or otherwise changing, such as by raising or lowering the mounting seat 5 in the height direction) to a second usage state. Figure 2 In the first usage state, the mounting base 5 is configured to allow the bottommost elastic module 6 of a plurality of nested elastic modules 6 to be mounted on the mounting base 5, so that the plurality of nested elastic modules 6 are stored on the elastic module storage bracket 1; in the second usage state, the elastic module storage bracket 1 can be placed on the elastic modules 6 such that the mounting base 5 faces the plurality of elastic modules 6, for example, the mounting base 5 faces downward so that the mounting base 5 can be supported on the elastic modules 6, so that the elastic module storage bracket 1 can be used as a pillow unit 7, with the lower surface 4 facing upward as the head support surface of the pillow unit 7.

[0068] In this elastic module storage bracket 1, since the elastic module storage bracket 1 includes a base plate 2 and a mounting base 5, and can be changed between a first use state and a second use state, for example, by flipping, in the first use state, the mounting base 5 allows the bottommost elastic module of a plurality of nested elastic modules 6 to be fitted onto the mounting base for storage. In the second use state, the elastic module storage bracket 1 is placed on the elastic modules 6 with its lower surface 4 facing upward as the head support surface of the pillow unit 7. Therefore, when the elastic module storage bracket 1 is assembled into the elastic pad 14, the plurality of elastic modules 6 of the elastic pad 14 can be removed from the mounting base 5 of each elastic module storage bracket 1 and assembled into the elastic support layer 19. Then, each elastic module storage bracket 1 changes, for example, by flipping, to the second use state, so that the mounting base 5 of each elastic module storage bracket 1 is supported (for example, facing downward and supporting) on ​​its corresponding elastic module 6. In this way, the elastic module storage bracket 1 serves as the pillow unit 7, and at this time, the lower surface 4 of the base plate 2 faces upward as the pillow unit 7. The head support surface is such that the occipital unit 7 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6 of the elastic support layer 19. Then, the padding layer 15 of the elastic pad 14 can be laid on the elastic support layer 19 and cover each occipital unit 7. In this way, through each occipital unit 7 (for example, each occipital unit 7 is arranged in sequence), a raised headrest can be formed on the padding layer 15, so that the elastic pad 14 has good head and body support function. When the user lies on the balance pad 14, the head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad 14, the padding layer 15 can be removed and folded up, and the storage brackets 1 for each elastic module can be changed, for example, flipped to the first use state. Each elastic module 6 can be removed and nested and stacked in sequence on its corresponding placement seat 5. Therefore, it is convenient to store and move the elastic pad and effectively reduce the space occupied by the elastic pad 14 when stored.

[0069] In some embodiments of the elastic module storage bracket 1, in the second usage state, the mounting base 5 can be directly placed and supported on the elastic module 6. When the padding layer 15 of the elastic pad 14 and the elastic support layer 19 are connected, the elastic module storage bracket 1 can be clamped and positioned on the elastic module 6. In other embodiments, see reference to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the mounting base 5 includes a connecting structure, which is configured to engage with the top of the elastic module 6 to allow the mounting base 5 to be stably and reliably supported on the elastic module 6 through the connecting structure. In this way, in the second use state, the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage bracket 1 being supported on the elastic module 6 can be further improved by engaging with the top of the elastic module 6 through the connecting structure.

[0070] Furthermore, the joining structure can be of various types, as long as it can engage with the top of the elastic module 6. For example, in some embodiments, the joining structure can be Velcro, which can be attached to the top surface of the elastic module 6. Further, Velcro can also be provided on the top surface of the elastic module 6, so that two Velcro strips can be attached to further improve the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage bracket 1 supported on the elastic module 6. In other embodiments, the joining structure can be a protrusion, such as a circular protrusion, which can fit into the recess on the top of the elastic module 6, which also improves the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage bracket 1 supported on the elastic module 6. Other embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figures 1-3 The engagement structure includes a recess 8 formed on the top (e.g., top surface) of the mounting base 5. The shape of the recess 8 matches the shape of the top of the elastic module 6, so that in the second use state, the recess 8 can reliably fit onto the top of the elastic module 6. This allows the recess 8 to be located directly inside the mounting base 5, thereby reducing the volume of the mounting base 5. Simultaneously, the top contour shape of the elastic module 6 can be directly utilized to engage the recess 8, so that the top of the elastic module 6 is directly located within the recess 8 of the mounting base 5, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage bracket 1 supported on the elastic module 6.

[0071] In some embodiments, the seat 5 can have a fixed height, so that the headrest can be adapted to the user's fixed height requirement for head support. In other embodiments, the height of the seat 5 is adjustable; that is, the seat 5 is designed to adjust its height according to the user's needs. This allows the same user to adjust the headrest height according to different usage needs, and also allows different users to adjust the headrest height according to their individual needs, thereby improving comfort. When the headrest height needs to be adjusted, the user can detach the padding layer 15 from the elastic support layer 19 at the headrest, adjust the height of the seat 5 to the desired height, and then reconnect the padding layer 15 to the elastic support layer 19.

[0072] Alternatively, the height of the mounting base 5 can be adjusted in various ways. For example, in one adjustment method, the mounting base 5 may include multiple (e.g., two or three) nested sleeves that can be extended and retracted to the desired position. Thus, the height of the mounting base 5 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the sleeves to the desired position. In another adjustment method, the height of the mounting base 5 can be adjusted using the support bar 10 mentioned below (which will be described in detail below).

[0073] In some embodiments, the mounting base 5 can be a solid body, such as a solid truncated cone. In other embodiments, the mounting base 5 is a frame structure. This frame structure allows the mounting base 5 to be formed as a non-solid body, that is, a cavity is formed inside the mounting base 5, thereby effectively reducing the overall weight of the elastic module storage bracket 1. In addition, the interconnected support structure of the frame structure can improve the overall strength of the elastic module storage bracket 1 while reducing the weight.

[0074] Furthermore, the frame structure can have various structural types. For example, in some embodiments, the mounting base 5 includes multiple L-shaped support bars, which are inverted on the base plate 2. That is, the ends of the short sides of the multiple L-shaped support bars are connected together and located at the center, while the long sides of the multiple L-shaped support bars are circumferentially spaced and connected to the base plate 2, so that the multiple L-shaped support bars are radially distributed. In this way, the multiple L-shaped support bars and the base plate 2 form an internal cavity, thereby making the mounting base 5 a frame structure. In other embodiments, refer to... Figure 1The mounting base 5 includes a top body 9, a bottom body 27 disposed on a base plate 2, and a plurality of support bars 10 connecting the top body 9 and the bottom body. The plurality of support bars 10 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting base 5, so that the top body 9 and the base plate 2 maintain a predetermined distance. In this way, the top body 9, the bottom body 27, and the plurality of support bars 10 form a frame structure. In other embodiments, the mounting base 5 includes a top body 9 and a plurality of circumferentially spaced support bars 10, wherein one end of the plurality of support bars 10 is connected to the base plate 2, and the other end of the plurality of support bars 10 is connected to the top body 9, so that the top body 9 and the base plate 2 maintain a predetermined distance. In this way, an internal cavity can be formed between the top body 9, the plurality of support bars 10, and the base plate 2, thereby making the mounting base 5 a frame structure.

[0075] In some embodiments, the length of each of the multiple support bars 10 is fixed, allowing the headrest to be adapted to the user's specific height requirements for head support. In other embodiments, each support bar 10 includes at least two sequentially connected segments whose lengths can be adjusted relative to each other. This allows the height of the seat 5 to be adjusted by extending or retracting the segments, as mentioned above. Thus, the same user can adjust the headrest height according to their needs at different stages of use, and different users can also adjust the headrest height according to their individual needs, thereby improving comfort.

[0076] Additionally, in some embodiments, the top surface of the top body 9 is formed as a flat surface. Alternatively, in other embodiments, refer to... Figure 1 The top body 9 has an inwardly recessed portion 8 extending toward the bottom body, so that the top body 9 is formed into a cylindrical body that can be fitted onto the top of the elastic module 6. In the second use state, the recess 8 is used to fit onto the top of the elastic module 6. This allows the recess 8 to be located directly inside the mounting base 5, thereby reducing the volume of the mounting base 5. At the same time, the top contour shape of the elastic module 6 can be directly utilized, so that the top of the elastic module 6 is directly located in the recess 8 on the top surface of the mounting base 5, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the elastic module storage bracket 1 supported on the elastic module 6. Multiple through openings 28 are formed on the wall of the cylindrical body at circumferential intervals. Each through opening extends from the side wall 29 of the cylindrical body to the bottom wall 30 of the cylindrical body. One end of each support bar 10 is connected to the upper edge 31 of the corresponding through opening. That is, in the radial direction, one end of each support bar 10 is located in its corresponding through opening. In this way, one end of the support bar 10 can support the upper edge of the through opening, thereby significantly improving the strength of the top body 9 and enhancing the stability and reliability of the headrest.

[0077] Additionally, in some embodiments, references Figure 1 The base plate 2 has an opening 11 that penetrates through it. Specifically, the base plate 2 includes an opening 11 that penetrates both the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4. The opening 11 is divided into multiple hole sections by radially extending connecting strips 12. A mounting seat 5 is disposed on the edge of the opening of the opening 11; that is, the opening 11 contains radially extending connecting strips 12, and the mounting seat 5 is arranged around the edge of the opening of the opening 11. In this way, the opening 11 reduces the weight of the base plate 2, while the connecting strips 12 improve the support performance of the headrest. Furthermore, there can be one or more connecting strips 12. For example, multiple connecting strips 12 can be arranged crosswise to form a mesh structure, or multiple connecting strips 12 can be arranged parallel at intervals, or one end of multiple connecting strips 12 can be connected to the center point of the opening 11 and radiate outwards.

[0078] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The base plate 2 also includes detachable lifting straps 13 on opposite sides of the base plate. In this way, after the elastic module group (that is, multiple elastic modules nested and stacked in sequence) is fitted onto the mounting base 5, the lifting straps 13 on both sides can be tied together to secure the elastic module group stored on the elastic module storage bracket 1, and the lifting straps 13 can also be lifted for easy handling.

[0079] In some embodiments, a lifting strap 13 may be provided at each end of the base plate 2, and the two ends of the lifting strap 13 may be respectively connected to opposite sides of the base plate 2. In this way, the lifting straps 13 at the two ends of the base plate 2 can be bound together. In other embodiments, see reference... Figure 6 The base plate 2 includes opposing long sides. On each long side, the two ends of the lifting strap 13 are detachably connected to the same long side and close to the ends of the long side. That is, on each long side of the base plate 2, the two ends of the lifting strap 13 are connected to the same side of the base plate 2 and maintain a distance. In this way, the lifting straps 13 on both sides of the base plate 2 can be tied together.

[0080] In some embodiments, the lifting straps 13 on both sides are configured to bind the gathered padding 15 of the elastic pad 14 between the lifting straps 13. For example, when the elastic pad needs to be stored, the padding 15 can be gathered (e.g., folded or rolled) to be in a gathered state, and the gathered padding 15 can be placed on the stacked elastic modules and located between the lifting straps 13. In this way, the lifting straps 13 can bind the padding 15 and the stacked elastic modules together for easy storage and handling.

[0081] Alternatively, the lifting strap 13 can be a non-elastic strap, such as a canvas strap. Or, the lifting strap 13 can be an elastic strap, such as a rubber strap.

[0082] Secondly, refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 8 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The present invention provides an elastic module storage device 16, which includes a plurality of elastic module storage brackets 1 as described in the first aspect, wherein a plurality of base plates 2 are detachably spliced ​​together to form a splice body 17, and a plurality of mounting seats 5 are located on the same side of the splice body 17.

[0083] Thus, since multiple base plates 2 are detachably spliced ​​together to form the splice body 17 of the elastic module storage device 16, and multiple mounting seats 5 are located on the same side of the splice body 17, as described above, in the second use state, the splice body 17 faces upward so that the lower surface can serve as a head support surface. Therefore, when the elastic module storage device 16 is assembled into the elastic pad 14, multiple elastic modules 6 of the elastic pad 14 can be removed from the mounting seats 5 of each elastic module storage bracket and assembled into an elastic support layer 19. Then, one or more elastic module storage devices 16 can be changed, for example, flipped to a second use state, so that the mounting seats of each elastic module storage device are supported (e.g., supported downwards) on their respective elastic modules. In this way, the lower surface of the splice faces upwards as a head support surface. Thus, the elastic module storage device will be higher than the remaining elastic modules. Then, the padding layer of the elastic pad can be laid on the elastic support layer and cover the elastic module storage device. In this way, a headrest can be formed on the padding layer through the elastic module storage device, so that the elastic pad has good head and body support function. When the user lies on the balance pad, the head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad, the pad layer can be removed and gathered, and the elastic module storage device can be changed, for example, flipped to the first use state. Each elastic module can be removed and nested and stacked in sequence on its corresponding placement base. Therefore, it is convenient to store and move the elastic pad and effectively reduce the space occupied when storing the elastic pad.

[0084] In some embodiments, as described above, the multiple base plates 2 can be independent components and can be spliced ​​together to form a splice body 17, so that the multiple mounting seats 5 are located on the same side of the splice body 17.

[0085] In other embodiments, refer to Figure 1 Multiple base plates 2 are integrally formed so that the splice body 17 is formed into a single piece. Thus, the single piece has multiple mounting seats 5. For example, in some embodiments, the single piece can be a strip plate, with multiple mounting seats 5 spaced apart along the length of the strip plate to form a single row of mounting seats 5 on one side surface. Of course, if needed, multiple rows of mounting seats 5 can be formed on the strip plate.

[0086] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 At least two spaced base plates 2 are provided with lifting straps 13 on opposite sides. When the splice body 17 is formed into a single piece, lifting straps 13 are provided on opposite sides of the single piece. In this way, after multiple elastic module groups (that is, multiple elastic modules nested and stacked in sequence) are respectively fitted onto their corresponding mounting seats 5, the lifting straps 13 on both sides can be bound together to bind the elastic module groups. At the same time, the lifting straps 13 can be lifted to facilitate transportation.

[0087] In some embodiments, each end of the splice body 17 (or the integral piece) may be provided with a lifting strap 13, and the two ends of the lifting strap 13 may be respectively connected to opposite sides of the base plate 2. In this way, the lifting straps 13 at the two ends can be bound together. In other embodiments, see reference... Figure 6 The splicing body 17 includes opposing long sides. On each long side of the splicing body 17, the two ends of the lifting strap 13 are detachably connected to the same long side and maintain a distance. That is, on each long side of the splicing body 17, the two ends of the lifting strap 13 are connected to the same side of the splicing body 17 and maintain a distance. In this way, the lifting straps 13 on both sides of the base plate 2 can be bound together.

[0088] In some embodiments, the lifting straps 13 on both sides of the splice 17 (or the integral piece) are configured to bind the gathered padding 15 of the elastic pad 14 between the lifting straps 13. For example, when the elastic pad needs to be stored, the padding 15 can be gathered (e.g., folded or rolled) to be in a gathered state, and the gathered padding 15 can be placed on a stack of multiple elastic module groups and positioned between the lifting straps 13. In this way, the lifting straps 13 can bind the padding 15 and the multiple stacked elastic module groups together for easy storage and handling. Alternatively, the lifting straps 13 can be non-elastic straps, such as canvas straps. Or, the lifting straps 13 can be elastic straps, such as rubber straps.

[0089] Thirdly, the present invention provides an elastic pad 14, with reference to Figures 11-13 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The elastic pad 14 includes a pad layer 15, a headrest body 18, and multiple elastic modules 6. The multiple elastic modules 6 can be spliced ​​together along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to form an elastic support layer 19. The headrest body 18 can be supported on a portion of the elastic modules 6 and is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6. That is, the top surface of the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6. The pad layer 15 can be fixedly laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. The headrest body 18 forms a headrest portion on the pad layer 15.

[0090] In this elastic pad 14, since the elastic pad 14 includes a headrest body 18, and the headrest body 18 can support a portion of the elastic modules of the elastic support layer and is higher than the remaining elastic modules, while the pad layer 15 can be fixedly laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, a headrest portion can be formed on the pad layer 15 through the headrest body 18, thereby giving the elastic pad 14 good head and body support function. When the user lies on the balance pad 14, the head can be supported on the headrest portion, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad 14, the pad layer 15 can be removed and folded up, and the individual elastic modules 6 can be folded up (for example, nested and stacked in sequence), thus facilitating the storage and transportation of the elastic pad 14 and effectively reducing the space occupied by the elastic pad 14 when stored.

[0091] In some embodiments, the elastic pad 14 includes a stored state. In the stored state, the headrest body 18 is configured to allow the bottommost elastic module 6 of a plurality of nested elastic modules 6 to be fitted onto the headrest body 18, such that the plurality of nested elastic modules 6 are stored on the headrest body 18. That is, the plurality of elastic modules 6 are nested and stacked sequentially, with the bottommost elastic module 6 fitted onto the headrest body 18. This facilitates the storage of the plurality of elastic modules 6 and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic pad 14 when stored.

[0092] In addition, the headrest body 18 in the elastic pad 14 can have various types. For example, in the first type of headrest body 18, the headrest body 18 includes a positioning part that can extend into the gap between adjacent elastic modules 6. In this way, the positioning part can be extended into the gap between adjacent elastic modules 6, thereby setting the headrest body 18 on the elastic support layer 19 and above the remaining elastic modules 6.

[0093] In the second type of headrest body 18, the headrest body 18 is any of the elastic module storage brackets 1 in the first aspect, and each elastic module storage bracket 1 corresponds to multiple elastic modules 6; the elastic pad 14 includes a stored state and an unfolded state; in the stored state, the multiple elastic modules 6 corresponding to each elastic module storage bracket 1 are nested and stacked in sequence, and the bottommost elastic module 6 is placed on the placement seat 5, so that the multiple elastic modules 6 nested and stacked in sequence are stored on the corresponding elastic module storage bracket 1; in the unfolded state, all the elastic modules 6 are assembled into an elastic support layer 19, multiple placement seats 5 face down and are arranged in sequence to support their respective corresponding elastic modules 6, multiple base plates 2 face up, so that multiple pillow units 7 are arranged to form the headrest body 18, and the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6, and the pad layer 15 is fixedly laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. In this way, after multiple elastic modules 6 are spliced ​​together along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to form an elastic support layer 19, the multiple elastic module storage brackets 1 can be supported on the corresponding elastic modules 6 to form a headrest body 18 according to the required width and length of the headrest. When the padding layer 15 is laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, the required width and length of the headrest is formed on the padding layer 15, so that the headrest can be flexibly formed according to the needs.

[0094] In the third type of occipital body 18, refer to Figure 11The headrest body 18 is any of the elastic module storage devices 16 in the second aspect above; the elastic pad 14 includes a stored state and an unfolded state; in the stored state, multiple elastic modules 6 corresponding to each elastic module storage bracket 1 are nested and stacked in sequence, and the bottommost elastic module 6 is placed on the placement seat 5, so that the multiple elastic modules 6 nested and stacked in sequence are stored on the corresponding elastic module storage bracket 1; in the unfolded state, all the elastic modules 6 are assembled into an elastic support layer 19, and multiple placement seats 5 are supported downward on their respective corresponding elastic modules 6, and the splice body 17 is upward, so that the headrest body 18 is higher than the remaining elastic modules 6, and the pad layer 15 is fixedly laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6. In this way, after multiple elastic modules 6 are spliced ​​together along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to form an elastic support layer 19, the base plates 2 of the required number of elastic module storage brackets 1 can be spliced ​​together to form a splice body 17 according to the required width and length of the headrest. Thus, through the splice body 17, the required number of elastic module storage brackets 1 can be formed into a single unit, which is then supported on the corresponding elastic modules 6 to serve as the headrest body 18. When the padding layer 15 is laid on the headrest body 18 and the remaining elastic modules 6, the required width and length of the headrest is formed on the padding layer 15, allowing for flexible formation of the headrest as needed. In this third type, because multiple base plates 2 are spliced ​​together, the multiple elastic module storage brackets 1 can have a mutual pulling and limiting effect, thereby significantly improving the stability of the headrest body 18.

[0095] In addition, in some embodiments of the elastic pad 14, the elastic pad 14 may include a bottom layer on which a plurality of parallel and spaced slide rails are formed, and a plurality of elastic modules 6 can slide into adjacent slide rails to form an elastic support layer 19. In other embodiments, see reference... Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The elastic pad 14 includes multiple elastic module units 20. Each elastic module unit 20 includes a substrate 21 and multiple elastic modules 6 disposed on the substrate 21. The multiple substrates 21 can be detachably spliced ​​together along the lateral direction of the elastic pad, so that the multiple elastic module units 20 can be assembled into an elastic support layer 19. In this way, the assembly efficiency of the elastic support layer 19 can be improved by assembling multiple elastic module units 20, and it is also convenient for the multiple elastic module units 20 to be quickly stored. In addition, the substrate 21 is not limited to Figure 9 The shape shown is, for example, multiple elastic modules 6 forming a row of elastic module groups, and two or three rows of elastic module groups can be provided on the substrate 21.

[0096] Furthermore, multiple substrates 21 can be detachably spliced ​​together in the lateral direction using various splicing methods, including but not limited to the splicing methods described below. For example, in some splicing methods, adjacent substrates 21 can be attached together using Velcro. Alternatively, in some splicing methods, adjacent substrates 21 can be spliced ​​together using a slider and a groove. For example, one substrate 21 of adjacent substrates 21 has a slider, and the other substrate 21 has a corresponding groove. The two adjacent substrates 21 can be spliced ​​together by the sliding engagement of the slider and the groove. Alternatively, in some splicing methods, adjacent substrates 21 can be spliced ​​together using a snap-fit ​​structure. For example, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​and a slot. One substrate 21 of adjacent substrates 21 has a snap-fit, and the other substrate 21 has a corresponding slot. The snap-fit ​​can be engaged into the slot to splice the two adjacent substrates 21 together. Therefore, regardless of the splicing method used, as long as it enables the adjacent substrates 21 to be detachably spliced ​​together, it is acceptable. Therefore, this invention does not limit the specific splicing method.

[0097] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 9 The substrate 21 has fitting openings, and each fitting opening corresponds to an elastic module 6. Thus, for reference... Figure 7 Multiple elastic modules 6 of one elastic module unit 20 can extend into the elastic module 6 through the fitting opening of another elastic module unit 20, thereby allowing multiple elastic module units 20 to be nested and stacked in sequence, further improving the convenience of storage and reducing space occupation.

[0098] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 13 The outer edge of the padding layer 15 and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 are connected by the edge fastening structure 22. In this way, the padding layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 can be fastened together by the edge fastening structure 22, thereby improving the stability of the headrest.

[0099] In addition, in some implementations, to improve the stability of each elastic module 6, reference is made to... Figure 13 The lower surface of the pad 15 has a stop ring 23 extending toward the elastic module 6 at its edge. The stop ring 23 and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 are connected by an edge fastening structure 22. In this way, after the stop ring 23 is tightened by the edge fastening structure 22, it can effectively limit the lateral movement of the elastic module 6 at the edge of the elastic support layer 19, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the entire elastic pad.

[0100] In some embodiments, the edge fastening structure 22 can be a side panel fabric, the upper and lower edges of which can be connected to the outer edge of the padding layer 15 (or the stop ring 23) and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the substrate 21) respectively via a zipper structure.

[0101] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 13 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The edge fastening structure 22 makes the elastic pad 14 an elastic pad without a sealed side. That is, after the edge fastening structure 22 connects the outer edge of the pad layer 15 (or the stop ring 23) and the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the substrate 21), the side of the elastic support layer 19 is exposed, that is, the side of the elastic support layer 19 can be observed from the outside. In this way, the breathability of the elastic pad 14 can be effectively improved, and the inside of the elastic pad 14 is prevented from becoming damp and moldy, which is especially advantageous in humid climates.

[0102] Furthermore, the edge fastening structure 22 can have various types. For example, in one type of edge fastening structure 22, the edge fastening structure 22 can be a mesh body, the upper edge of which is connected to the outer edge of the pad layer 15 (or the stop ring 23), and the lower edge of the mesh body is connected to the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the substrate 21). As another example, in another type of edge fastening structure 22, refer to... Figure 13 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The edge fastening structure 22 includes a releasably connected connecting rope 24. It should be noted that the connection method of the connecting rope 24 is not limited to that shown in the accompanying drawings. Besides the connection method shown in the drawings, the connecting rope 24 can also have other connection methods. For example, in one connection method, multiple circumferentially spaced connecting buckles are formed on the outer edge of the padding layer 15 (or the stop ring 23), and multiple circumferentially spaced fixing buckles are formed on the bottom outer edge of the elastic support layer 19 (or the base plate 21). The multiple connecting buckles and multiple fixing buckles are arranged alternately. In this case, the connecting rope 24 can extend vertically to sequentially wrap around each connecting buckle and fixing buckle, thereby connecting the padding layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 together. As another example, in another connection method, multiple circumferentially spaced connecting ropes 24 are formed on one of the padding layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19, and multiple corresponding fixing buckles are formed on the other of the padding layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19. In this way, each connecting rope 24 can be hung on its corresponding fixing buckle, thereby connecting the padding layer 15 and the elastic support layer 19 together.

[0103] In addition, in some implementations, references Figure 14 and Figure 15The padding layer 15 includes a folded state, wherein the folded padding layer 15 is bound between the lifting straps 13 of the headrest body 18, thereby facilitating the storage and folding of the elastic padding.

[0104] In some embodiments, the padding layer 15 may include a plurality of detachably connected pad blocks 25, which can be disassembled and stacked sequentially when needed to be folded up. In other embodiments, see reference... Figure 15 The padding layer 15 is a material layer that can be folded or rolled up, so that it can be gathered simply by folding or rolling up the padding layer 15.

[0105] Additionally, to further facilitate the folding or rolling of the padding layer 15, refer to... Figure 13 The padding layer 15 includes a plurality of pad blocks 25 arranged along the length of the elastic pad, and adjacent pad blocks 25 are connected by a thinned flexible hinge portion. In this way, the padding layer 15 can be more easily folded up by means of the flexible hinge portion.

[0106] In addition, the flexible hinge portion can have various types. For example, the flexible hinge portion can be a connecting cloth, or the flexible hinge portion includes a groove 26 formed on the upper surface and / or lower surface of the pad 15 and extending along the width direction of the elastic pad. In this way, the groove 26 facilitates the folding or rolling of the pad 15 and also facilitates the integral connection between the pad blocks 25.

[0107] In addition, the elastic module 6 can be a spring module, a rubber module, or a silicone module.

[0108] In addition, the elastic pad 14 can be used for any desired application. For example, the elastic pad 14 can be used as an outdoor pad and an indoor pad. For example, the elastic pad 14 can be used as an elastic mattress, sofa cushion, chair cushion, and bench cushion.

[0109] Fourthly, the present invention provides a piece of furniture comprising any of the elastic pads 14 described in the third aspect above. Thus, as described above, the elastic pad 14 reduces the cost of the furniture while providing good stability and comfort, thereby improving its overall quality.

[0110] Fifthly, the present invention provides a method for using an elastic pad, the method comprising: when the elastic pad is unfolded, splicing together multiple elastic modules along the transverse direction of the elastic pad to assemble an elastic support layer; changing the headrest body from a first use state (e.g., flipping it over) to a second use state; and supporting the headrest body's mounting base on a portion of the elastic modules (e.g., the mounting base facing downwards on a portion of the elastic modules) so that the headrest body is higher than the remaining elastic modules; laying the padding layer on the headrest body and the remaining elastic modules, the headrest body forming a headrest portion; when the elastic pad is folded up, removing the padding layer and the headrest body; changing the headrest body from a first use state (e.g., flipping it over) so that the headrest body's mounting base faces upwards; nesting and stacking multiple elastic modules sequentially; and placing the bottommost elastic module on the mounting base, so that the nested and stacked multiple elastic modules are stored on the headrest body.

[0111] In this technical solution, a headrest is formed on the padding layer by the headrest body, thus providing the elastic pad with good head and body support. When the user lies on the balance pad, their head can be supported on the headrest, effectively improving the comfort of the elastic pad. In addition, when it is necessary to store the elastic pad, the padding layer can be removed and folded up, and the individual elastic modules can be nested and stacked on the headrest body in sequence. Therefore, it is convenient to store and move the elastic pad, and effectively reduces the space occupied by the elastic pad when stored.

[0112] In some embodiments, the method of using the elastic pad includes folding or rolling the removed pad layer when the elastic pad is folded up, and securing the folded or rolled pad layer between the lifting straps of the headrest body. In this way, the lifting straps can bind the pad layer and the stacked elastic modules together for easy storage and handling.

[0113] The scope of protection of this invention is defined only by the claims. Thanks to the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that alternative structures to the structures disclosed herein can be used as feasible alternative implementations, and that the implementations disclosed herein can be combined to produce new implementations, which also fall within the scope of the appended claims.
