Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bedding, and more particularly to a method and control system for controlling the edge protection structure of a bendable mattress, and a bendable mattress. Background Technology

[0002] Existing mattresses typically feature edge protectors to prevent or delay edge sagging. A firmer edge protector generally provides better protection. However, this can lead to issues such as edge protectors that are too firm, affecting comfort, or edge protectors that are too soft, causing sagging. When applied to electric mattresses (or adjustable mattresses with folding and adjusting mechanisms; the term "electric mattress" is a common industry term referring to a mattress with multiple panels that fold up or down via an electric drive mechanism under one panel), the edge protector's inherent firmness and shape cause it to bend as the mattress is folded up. This bending can easily create wrinkles, affecting both the overall appearance and quality of the mattress, as well as comfort. Currently, to address the issue of edge protectors that are too firm or too soft leading to sagging, some mattresses use wider edge protectors or designs combining composite materials of different densities to provide better support. However, these edge protectors tend to have a shorter lifespan and are prone to aging and sagging. Some mattresses incorporate adjustable air pockets in the edge protectors, allowing users to adjust the firmness of the edge protectors by inflating and deflating them to improve the anti-sagging effect. However, adjustable air pockets have the problem of poor breathability, and the edge protectors can still wrinkle when the mattress is bent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art by providing a method and control system for controlling the edge structure of a bendable mattress, as well as a bendable mattress. This invention modifies the edge structure of the bendable mattress by adding segmented airbags or several spaced airbags within it. The firmness of the mattress edge is adjusted by regulating the inflation volume of the airbags. By locally adjusting the inflation volume of the airbags corresponding to the bending parts of the mattress edge, wrinkles are eliminated at the bending parts of the edge structure. This effectively prevents edge collapse while providing adequate firmness and support, thus improving the mattress's lifespan, comfort, and overall quality during use.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solution: a method for controlling the edge structure of a bendable mattress, characterized by: selecting or setting the sitting comfort parameters of the edge; adjusting the state of the airbags in the edge structure according to the sitting comfort parameters; collecting angle data of the bending parts of the edge structure; judging the angle data, and adjusting the state of the airbags to ensure that the bending parts of the edge structure are wrinkle-free and have corresponding firmness. By using the angle data, the degree of bending or flatness of the airbags is determined, and then the inflation volume of the flat parts of the airbags in the bending state is adjusted to ensure the overall firmness of the edge, the local inflation volume of the bending parts is adjusted to avoid wrinkles, or the overall inflation volume of the flat airbags is adjusted to ensure the overall firmness of the edge and achieve good support. As a further improvement and supplement to the above technical solution, this invention adopts the following technical measures: collecting air pressure data of the airbags; judging whether there is a person on the edge structure based on the air pressure data; if no one is present, the airbags are circulated and inflated and deflated to keep the edge structure dynamic and in ventilation mode. The ventilation mode is set to ensure good airflow for the edge protection, facilitating heat dissipation and moisture dissipation. This is beneficial for protecting the edge protection structure and also for the health of users. Selecting ventilation mode to activate when no one is present helps minimize disturbance to users.

[0005] Prioritize collecting air pressure data by setting a time threshold T and saving the data every T interval to form an air pressure dataset. Then, set an air pressure threshold P and compare the air pressure data with this threshold. If the air pressure data is greater than or equal to the threshold P, it indicates someone is on the edge, and the system switches to angle-based data collection. If the air pressure data is less than the threshold P, it indicates no one is on the edge, and temperature and humidity data are collected every T interval, saving the temperature data (WD) and humidity data (SD). Finally, set ambient temperature and humidity thresholds WDT and SDT. If WD ≥ WDT, or SD ≥ SDT, ventilation mode is activated; otherwise, the system switches to angle-based data collection.

[0006] As a priority, the barometric pressure data should include at least the barometric pressure data for the head and shoulder bending area (P100), the barometric pressure data for the waist and hip bending area (P200), and the barometric pressure data for the foot bending area (P300), with the corresponding barometric pressure dataset being: {P100, P200, P300}.

[0007] As a priority, a time threshold T is set, and angle data is collected and saved every T time interval to form an angle dataset. An angle threshold W is set, and the angle data is compared with the angle threshold W. If the angle data is greater than or equal to the angle threshold W, the corresponding airbag pressure parameters are searched and matched according to the airbag pressure database. The airbag state is adjusted according to the airbag pressure parameters so that the softness and hardness of the edge protection structure are adapted to the bending angle. Otherwise, there are no wrinkles at the bending part of the edge protection structure, the airbag is circulated for inflation and deflation, and ventilation mode is entered. As a priority, the angle data includes at least the angle data W100 of the head and shoulder bending area, the angle data W200 and W201 of the waist and hip bending area, and the angle data W300 of the foot bending area. The corresponding angle dataset is: {W100, W200, W201, W300}. The technical solution of the second technical subject of this invention is a control system for a bendable mattress edge protector structure. The system is characterized by executing the aforementioned control method for the bendable mattress edge protector structure. The control system includes a microcontroller unit, an angle acquisition unit, an air pressure acquisition unit, and an airbag driving unit electrically and signal-connected to the microcontroller unit. The angle acquisition unit and the air pressure acquisition unit are respectively used to acquire angle data and air pressure data to enable the airbag driving unit to adjust the firmness of the airbags. Preferably, the bendable mattress edge protector structure control system also includes a temperature and humidity detection unit electrically and signal-connected to the microcontroller unit. The temperature and humidity detection unit is used to acquire temperature and humidity data of the edge protector structure. The microcontroller unit receives the temperature and humidity data and compares it with the ambient temperature and humidity to activate the ventilation mode of the edge protector structure.

[0008] The technical solution of the third technical subject of this invention is: a bendable mattress with a side guard structure, comprising a bendable mattress body, characterized in that it further comprises two sets of side guard structures, which are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the mattress body along the length direction. Along the length direction of the side guard structure, segmented airbags or several spaced airbags are disposed in the side guard structure, and a control system for controlling the movement of the airbags to make the side guard structure bendable, wherein the control system is the aforementioned bendable mattress side guard structure control system.

[0009] As a priority, along the length of the edge protection structure, the edge protection structure is provided with at least a head and shoulder bendable area, a waist and hip bendable area, and a foot bendable area. Angle acquisition units are respectively located in each bendable area. The edge protection structure also includes deformable grooves, and airbags are disposed within these deformable grooves. These deformable grooves are used to help absorb wrinkles generated during bending of the edge protection structure. To make the mattress conform more closely to the human body and provide more support when bent, mattresses often have head and shoulder, waist and hip, and foot bendable areas, while the remaining parts of the mattress are usually flat. The bendable mattress edge protection structure control system executes the bendable mattress edge protection structure control method, controlling the inflation volume of the airbags in the head and shoulder, waist and hip, and foot bendable areas to ensure no wrinkles when the edge protection structure is bent. The inflation volume of the airbags in the flat parts of the mattress is also controlled; the inflation volume of the airbags in different flat parts can be the same or different to ensure that the edge protection structure has the support required by the user. When the mattress is laid flat, the inflation volume of all airbags in the protective edge structure is controlled (the inflation volume of airbags in different parts can be the same or different) to ensure that the overall protective edge structure has good support. The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0010] 1. Make the edge protection structure wrinkle-free when bent: Depending on the degree of bending of the edge protection, by adjusting the inflation and deflation of the airbags in the bent part of the edge protection structure, the expansion and contraction of the airbags can be automatically adjusted, that is, the inflation amount of the airbags can be controlled, thereby avoiding wrinkles in the bent part and improving the bending performance of the mattress.

[0011] 2. Improve mattress breathability and heat dissipation: To avoid disturbing users on the mattress, when no one is on the mattress, the inflation and deflation of the airbags are cyclically adjusted to promote airflow around the edge structure, thereby promoting air circulation inside the mattress. This improves the breathability and heat dissipation of the edge structure, which in turn enhances user comfort and health.

[0012] 3. Improve the comfort of the mattress edge protector: By setting segmented airbags or several spaced airbags, users can adjust the firmness and softness of different areas of the edge protector structure according to their own needs. This not only solves the problem of edge protector sagging when sitting, but also meets the personalized needs of different people for the comfort of the edge protector structure.

[0013] 4. By providing multiple transverse (i.e., along the width of the mattress) deformable grooves along the edge of the mattress, segmented airbags or several spaced airbags are placed in the deformable grooves. The deformable grooves have a positioning function for the airbags. At the same time, the deformable grooves can also absorb the amount of wrinkles when the edge structure is bent, further ensuring that there are no wrinkles when the edge structure is bent.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. The edge protector, edge protector structure, and mattress edge protector structure involved in the present invention are the same structure. Embodiment 1: As shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the technical solution of the first technical subject of this invention is a method for controlling the edge structure of a bendable mattress: selecting or setting the seating comfort parameters of the edge; adjusting the airbag state in the edge structure according to the seating comfort parameters; collecting angle data of the bending parts of the edge structure; judging the angle data and adjusting the airbag state to ensure that the bending parts of the edge structure are wrinkle-free and have corresponding firmness. Through the angle data, the degree of airbag bending or flatness is determined, and then the inflation volume of the flat parts of the airbags in the bending state is adjusted to ensure the overall firmness of the edge, the local inflation volume of the bending parts is adjusted to avoid wrinkles, or the overall inflation volume of the flat airbags is adjusted to ensure the overall firmness of the edge and achieve good support.

[0020] To further improve the performance of the edge protection structure, air pressure data of the airbags is collected. Based on the air pressure data, it is determined whether there is anyone on the edge protection structure. If no one is present, the airbags are circulated and inflated (referred to as inflation / deflation) to keep the edge protection structure in dynamic ventilation mode. The ventilation mode is set to ensure good ventilation of the edge protection for heat dissipation and moisture dissipation, which is beneficial to the protection structure and the health of the user. Choosing to activate the ventilation mode when no one is present helps to minimize interference with the user. To further improve the level of automation, a time threshold T is set, and air pressure data is collected and saved every T time interval to form an air pressure dataset. An air pressure threshold P is set, and the air pressure data is compared with the air pressure threshold P. If the air pressure data is greater than or equal to the air pressure threshold P, it indicates that someone is on the edge, and the system switches to angle acquisition. If the air pressure data is less than the air pressure threshold P, it indicates that no one is on the edge, and temperature and humidity data are collected every T time interval, with temperature data WD and humidity data SD saved respectively. An ambient temperature and humidity threshold WDT and an ambient humidity threshold SDT are set. If WD ≥ WDT, or SD ≥ SDT, the ventilation mode is activated; otherwise, the system switches to angle acquisition. The air pressure data includes at least the air pressure data P100 for the head and shoulder bending area, P200 for the waist and hip bending area, and P300 for the foot bending area, with the corresponding air pressure dataset being: {P100, P200, P300}.

[0021] Similarly, to improve automation, a time threshold T is set, and angle data is collected and saved every T time interval to form an angle dataset. An angle threshold W is set, and the angle data is compared with the angle threshold W. If the angle data is greater than or equal to the angle threshold W, the corresponding airbag pressure parameters are searched and matched according to the airbag pressure database. The airbag state is adjusted according to the airbag pressure parameters so that the softness and hardness of the edge protection structure are adapted to the bending angle. Otherwise, there are no wrinkles at the bending part of the edge protection structure, the airbag is circulated and inflated and deflated, and the ventilation mode is entered.

[0022] The angle data includes at least the head and shoulder bending area angle data W100, the waist and hip bending area angle data W200 and W201, and the foot bending area angle data W300, with the corresponding angle dataset being: {W100, W200, W201, W300}. In practical application, the control process of the bendable mattress edge support structure control method is as follows: S100, mattress edge support seating comfort selection:

[0023] After the mattress edge protector is powered on, the user can select the mattress edge protector's comfort level via wireless communication unit, including but not limited to an app, WeChat mini-program, or remote control. Once the user selects the comfort level, the control system uses a local database model of the mattress edge protector's comfort level and airbag pressure status to control the output of the airbag status at the corresponding location (i.e., inflation volume control). After completing step S100, the system jumps to step S200. S200 involves collecting and adjusting the airbag pressure status in both bent and flat mattress positions. The specific steps are as follows:

[0024] S201. Collect mattress bending status data using an electric bed or adjustable angle recognition unit: Set a time threshold T, and collect mattress bending status data every T time using an electric bed or adjustable angle recognition unit. Save the head and shoulder bending area angle as W100, the waist and hip bending area angles as W200 and W201, and the leg bending area angle as W300. After completing the mattress bending status data collection, proceed to step S202.

[0025] S202. Determining if each edge bend area is in a bent state: Based on the mattress bend angle data collected in step S201, an angle dataset {W100, W200, W201, W300} is formed for edge bend status determination. During the determination, an angle threshold W is set. If the bend angle data of any bend area in the angle dataset {W100, W200, W201, W300} is greater than or equal to W, proceed to S204; otherwise, proceed to S203. S203. Maintaining the airbag pressure state corresponding to the edge support comfort when the mattress is flat: If the mattress is flat (i.e., lying flat), maintain the airbag pressure state corresponding to the edge support comfort (i.e., have a certain amount of air, maintain a certain firmness and good support). After completion, proceed to S300.

[0026] S204: Adjust the status output of the edge protection airbags in the corresponding area based on the air pressure model database of the edge protection airbag bending state:

[0027] If the mattress is bent, the system searches and matches the angle dataset {W100, W200, W201, W300} under bent conditions with the air pressure model database for the edge protector airbags under bent conditions. The system then adjusts the airbag status output in the corresponding area of ​​the edge protector (controlling the airbags to have an appropriate inflation volume). After completion, it jumps to S300. In S300, when no one is sitting on the mattress edge protector, the airbag circulation inflation and deflation ventilation mode is activated, including the following steps:

[0028] S301. Real-time air pressure status of airbags in each edge bending area is collected via the airbag pressure acquisition unit:

[0029] Every T time interval, the air pressure status of each edge bending area airbag is collected in real time by the airbag pressure acquisition unit, and the air pressure status of the head and shoulder bending area airbag L100 is saved as P100, the air pressure status of the waist and hip bending area airbag L200 is saved as P200, and the air pressure status of the leg bending area airbag L300 is saved as P300. After completion, the process jumps to step S302.

[0030] S302. Mattress Edge Position Detection (Availability): Set a threshold P. Detect the presence or absence of the mattress edge by comparing the air pressure status of the airbags in each bend area {P100, P200, P300} with P. After completion, proceed to S303. S303. Mattress Edge Position Judgment: If the air pressure status data of any bend area in the air pressure dataset {P100, P200, P300} is greater than or equal to P, it is judged as an occupied position, and proceed to S201. Otherwise, it is judged as an unoccupied position, and proceed to S304.

[0031] S304. Collect ambient temperature and humidity data around the mattress using the temperature and humidity detection unit: Every time T, collect ambient temperature and humidity data around the mattress using the temperature and humidity detection unit, and save the temperature and humidity data bits WD and SD respectively. Jump to S305. S305: Determine if the ambient temperature or humidity is too high. Preferably, set an ambient temperature threshold WDT and an ambient humidity threshold SDT. If WD is greater than or equal to WDT, or SD is greater than or equal to SDT, it indicates that the ambient temperature or humidity is too high, and jump to S306. Otherwise, jump to S201.

[0032] S306: Activate the ventilation mode formed by the airbag's continuous inflation and deflation. When the ambient temperature and / or humidity is too high, the ventilation mode can promote air circulation around the mattress edge, improving the temperature and humidity quality of the edge environment. After completion, proceed to S201. Repeat the steps S100 to S300 mentioned above (including their respective sub-steps such as S201 to S204, S301 to S306) until power is cut off or the user turns off the edge adjustment. Example 2: As Figure 3As shown, the technical solution of the second technical subject of this invention is a bendable mattress edge protection structure control system L400, which is used to execute the bendable mattress edge protection structure control method described in Embodiment 1. The control system includes a microcontroller unit L40000, an angle acquisition unit (i.e., an electric bed or adjustable bed angle recognition unit L40040), an air pressure acquisition unit, and an airbag drive unit, all electrically and signal-connected to the microcontroller unit. The angle acquisition unit and the air pressure acquisition unit are used to acquire angle data and air pressure data, respectively, to enable the airbag drive unit to adjust the firmness of the airbags. The air pressure acquisition unit includes a head and shoulder bending area airbag air pressure acquisition unit L40010, a waist and hip bending area airbag air pressure acquisition unit L40020, and a leg bending area airbag air pressure acquisition unit L40030. The airbag drive unit includes a head and shoulder bending area airbag air pressure output drive unit L40011, a waist and hip bending area airbag air pressure output drive unit L40021, and a leg bending area airbag air pressure output drive unit L40031. Furthermore, the bendable mattress edge protector structure control system also includes a temperature and humidity detection unit L40050 electrically and signal-connected to the microcontroller unit L40000. This temperature and humidity detection unit collects temperature and humidity data from the edge protector structure. The microcontroller unit receives the temperature and humidity data and compares it with the ambient temperature and humidity to activate the ventilation mode of the edge protector structure. For ease of production, processing, assembly, and maintenance, the control system is often housed in the control box L400. In this embodiment, the control system also includes a wireless communication unit L40060. Example 3: As... Figure 4 The technical solution of the third technical subject of the present invention is as follows: a bendable mattress with a side guard structure, comprising a bendable mattress body, two sets of side guard structures respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the mattress body along the length direction, and along the length direction of the side guard structure, the side guard structure is provided with segmented airbags or a number of spaced airbags, and a control system for controlling the movement of the airbags to make the side guard structure bendable, wherein the control system is the bendable mattress side guard structure control system described in Embodiment 2.

[0033] Along the length of the edge protector structure, it includes at least three bendable areas: a head and shoulder bendable area, a waist and hip bendable area, and a foot bendable area. Angle acquisition units are respectively located in each bendable area. The edge protector structure also includes deformable grooves, and airbags are disposed within these grooves. These grooves help absorb wrinkles generated during bending. To ensure the mattress conforms better to the human body and provides more support when bent, mattresses typically have head and shoulder, waist and hip, and foot bendable areas, while the remaining areas are usually flat. A bendable mattress edge protector structure control system executes a bendable mattress edge protector structure control method, controlling the inflation of the airbags in the head and shoulder, waist and hip, and foot bendable areas to prevent wrinkles when the edge protector structure is bent. The system also controls the inflation of the airbags in the flat areas of the mattress; the inflation of the airbags in different flat areas can be the same or different to ensure the edge protector structure provides sufficient support for the user. When the mattress is laid flat, the inflation of all the airbags in the protective edge structure is controlled (the inflation of airbags in different parts can be the same or different) so that the overall protective edge structure has good support.

[0034] Furthermore, the edge protector structure is provided with several deformable grooves, and airbags are respectively placed in the deformable grooves. The deformable grooves have a positioning function for the airbags, and at the same time, they can also absorb the amount of wrinkles when the edge protector structure is bent, further ensuring that the edge protector structure is wrinkle-free when bent. In this technical solution, the edge protector L500 mainly provides edge support for the mattress, including but not limited to foam, 3D materials, etc. The upper half of the edge protector L500 has a horizontally penetrating deformable groove, including a deformable groove L101 for the head and shoulder area, a deformable groove L201 for the waist and hip area, and a deformable groove L301 for the leg area. It mainly provides installation adaptation space for the adjustable filling airbags of the mattress edge protector, and at the same time provides deformation space for the edge protector to bend in the vertical plane when the mattress is adapted to electric beds or adjustable beds. The deformable grooves can be various shapes such as round and square to facilitate the filling of airbags. The tail area of ​​the edge guard is provided with a deformable groove L401 for the control box, which mainly provides an installation position for the control box L400.

[0035] Airbags L100 for the head and shoulder bending area, L200 for the lumbar and hip bending area, and L300 for the leg bending area are respectively located in the deformable grooves L101 for the head and shoulder area, L201 for the lumbar and hip area, and L301 for the leg area. These airbags primarily provide adjustable support for the various areas of the mattress edge, and also provide deformation space for the edge foam to bend vertically when the mattress is used with electric or adjustable beds by controlling the inflation and deflation of the airbags. Multiple airbags L100 for the head and shoulder bending area, multiple airbags L200 for the lumbar and hip bending area, and multiple airbags L300 for the leg bending area are connected together via air tube interfaces.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
