Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mattresses, and more particularly to a mattress with a modular composite elastic structure. Background Technology

[0002] We spend a third of our lives sleeping. The four key indicators of healthy sleep are: sufficient sleep duration, high quality, and high efficiency; ease of falling asleep; continuous, uninterrupted sleep; and deep, restful sleep, waking up refreshed. Sleep quality is closely related to the mattress. When choosing a mattress, consumers can consider factors such as breathability, pressure relief, support, conformity, surface tension, sleep temperature, and sleep humidity to select a suitable and high-quality mattress. A mattress is an item placed between the human body and the bed. Mattresses come in a variety of materials, and different materials provide different sleep experiences. With the continuous advancement of material civilization and technological processes, the types of mattresses used by modern people have gradually become more diversified, including spring mattresses, palm fiber mattresses, latex mattresses, water mattresses, inclined back support mattresses, air mattresses, and magnetic mattresses. As mattress research and development progresses, existing mattresses employ various material solutions to enhance the user experience. However, regardless of the type of mattress, because they are all made of large-area, one-piece mattress module materials, the body wrapping is not very good when the user is using them, and they cannot form a good fit and support according to the user's body curves. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more rational mattress structure to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the technical problem that existing mattresses, due to insufficient structure, do not provide good wrapping of the user's body and cannot form a good fit and support according to the user's body curves, the present invention provides a solution.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mattress with a modular composite elastic structure, comprising a first bridging layer and a second bridging layer, and multiple sets of elastic units located between the first bridging layer and the second bridging layer; the first bridging layer is further provided with multiple sets of first grooves and second grooves on the side away from the elastic units, the first grooves and the second grooves being staggered to form multiple sets of movable units, each of the movable units corresponding to one elastic unit.

[0005] As an improvement of this application, the first type of groove and the second type of groove are staggered in a mutually perpendicular pattern.

[0006] As an improvement of this application, the first bridging layer and the second bridging layer are provided with multiple sets of fixing grooves on opposite sides, and the elastic unit is constrained between two of the fixing grooves.

[0007] As an improvement of this application, the height of the elastic unit is at least twice the depth of the fixed groove, so that an movable gap is formed between the first bridging layer and the second bridging layer.

[0008] As an improvement to this application, the elastic unit is an airbag structure.

[0009] As an improvement of this application, each of the two protrusions on both sides of the fixing groove is provided with a flat portion; when the airbag structure is under stress beyond the expected range, the two flat portions on the same normal line fit together.

[0010] As an improvement of this application, the depth of the first type of groove and the second type of groove is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the thickness of the corresponding bridging layer.

[0011] As an improvement of this application, the two opposite sides of the first bridging layer and the second bridging layer further include a first quilting layer and a second quilting layer, which together form a mattress wrapping structure.

[0012] As an improvement of this application, a first comfort layer is further provided between the first quilted layer and the first bridging layer.

[0013] As an improvement of this application, a second comfort layer is further provided between the second quilted layer and the second bridging layer, and the hardness of the second comfort layer is greater than that of the first comfort layer.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this invention provides a mattress with a modular composite elastic structure, including a first bridging layer and a second bridging layer, and multiple sets of elastic units located between the first bridging layer and the second bridging layer; the side of the first bridging layer away from the elastic units is also provided with multiple sets of first grooves and second grooves, which are staggered to form multiple sets of movable units, with each movable unit corresponding to an elastic unit; by setting the first grooves and second grooves that are staggered in the first bridging layer, multiple independent movable units are formed, each movable unit corresponding to an elastic unit below, so that the mattress surface can achieve local and independent deformation and fit according to the different curves and pressures of different parts of the user's body, significantly improving the mattress's wrapping feel and bringing a better user experience.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the present invention, the invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0024] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0025] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a mattress with a modular composite elastic structure. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 It includes a first bridging layer 1 and a second bridging layer 2, and multiple sets of elastic units 3 located between the first bridging layer 1 and the second bridging layer 2; the side of the first bridging layer 1 away from the elastic unit 3 is also provided with multiple sets of first-type grooves 11 and second-type grooves 12, the first-type grooves 11 and second-type grooves 12 are staggered to form multiple sets of movable units, and each movable unit corresponds to an elastic unit 3; the specific materials of the first bridging layer 1 and the second bridging layer 2 can be foamed polyethylene or foamed polypropylene.

[0026] By setting intersecting first-type grooves 11 and second-type grooves 12 in the first bridge layer 1, multiple independent movable units are formed. Each movable unit corresponds to a lower elastic unit 3. When the user uses the mattress, the pressure is transmitted to the corresponding elastic unit 3 through the upper movable unit. Each unit responds independently, avoiding the hammock effect of traditional one-piece materials collapsing due to pressure in one place. Ultimately, the mattress surface can achieve local and independent deformation and fit according to the different curves and pressures of different parts of the user's body, significantly improving the mattress's wrapping feel and bringing a better user experience.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first groove 11 and the second groove 12 are interspersed in a mutually perpendicular pattern to form a regular grid-like array of active units, which makes the mechanical response of the mattress surface more uniform in all directions, avoids the anisotropy of support that may be caused by the unidirectional direction of the grooves, and improves the balance and stability of the overall fit.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first bridge layer 1 and the second bridge layer 2 are provided with multiple sets of fixing grooves 13 on their opposite sides, and the elastic unit 3 is constrained between two fixing grooves 13. It is easy to understand that the addition of fixing grooves 13 can effectively prevent the elastic unit 3 from being displaced or gathered unexpectedly inside the mattress, ensuring that each support unit can be in its designed position for a long time and stably, thus ensuring the reliability of the mattress support performance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the height of the elastic unit 3 is at least twice the depth of the fixed groove 13, so that an active gap is formed between the first bridging layer 1 and the second bridging layer 2. It is easy to understand that the width of the active gap is the width of the lower layer when any active unit is compressed. That is, it can be understood that the first bridging layer 1 provides the necessary deformation space when compressed, so that the active unit can sink effectively, thereby fully stimulating the buffering and support functions of the elastic unit 3. Furthermore, the elastic unit 3 can be a traditional spring structure, a polymer sponge structure, etc., but in this application, the elastic unit 3 selected is an airbag structure. During the production process, technicians can change the support force and height of one or more airbag structures by inflating and deflating the air, thereby flexibly and precisely adjusting the softness and support curve of different areas of the mattress, realizing personalized customization of sleep support, which is an effect that cannot be achieved by fixed elastic material units.

[0030] In this embodiment, each of the two protrusions of any fixing groove 13 is provided with a flat portion; when the airbag structure is under stress beyond the expected range, the two flat portions on the same normal line fit together; for some users with larger weight values, when the airbag is fully compressed to a stress state beyond the expected range (for example, when extreme pressure causes the airbag structure to be over-compressed), the flat portions on both sides fit together, so that the first bridge layer 1 provides a stable rigid support point when the maximum deformation is achieved, thereby enhancing the ultimate bearing capacity and safety of the overall structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the depth of the first type of groove 11 and the second type of groove 12 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the thickness of the corresponding bridging layer. The first type of groove 11 and the second type of groove 12 can destroy the overall strength of the first bridging layer and avoid further hammock effect. In the above-mentioned depth range, it can ensure that the bridging layer has sufficient flexibility to form an effective moving unit and perform local bending. At the same time, it can retain sufficient material thickness to maintain the overall structural integrity and mechanical strength of the bridging layer and avoid the problem of the layer being fragile and easy to break due to excessive groove depth.

[0032] In this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the first bridging layer 1 and the second bridging layer 2 also include a first quilted layer 6 and a second quilted layer 7. The first quilted layer 6 and the second quilted layer 7 together form a mattress wrapping structure. Under the above structural design, the final appearance and basic feel of the finished mattress can be improved. That is to say, the first quilted layer 6 and the second quilted layer 7 wrap the internal composite structure, which plays a role in protection, shaping and beautification. At the same time, its soft material also provides users with the most direct and comfortable surface contact.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first comfort layer 4 is provided between the first quilted layer 6 and the first bridging layer 1. The first comfort layer 4 is mainly used to provide support comfort, including but not limited to latex, sponge or fiber composite materials.

[0034] Furthermore, a second comfort layer 5 is provided between the second quilted layer 7 and the second bridging layer 2. The second comfort layer 5 is harder than the first comfort layer 4. The harder second comfort layer 5 mainly serves as a structure to support the mattress, providing a stable base for the relatively soft first comfort layer 4. At the same time, the first comfort layer 4 and the second comfort layer 5 can work well together with the intermediate elastic unit 3 and the moving unit to achieve dynamic and follow-up force distribution.

[0035] The advantages of this invention are:

[0036] By setting intersecting first and second type grooves in the first bridge layer, multiple independent movable units are formed. Each movable unit corresponds to an elastic unit below, allowing the mattress surface to achieve local and independent deformation and fit according to the different curves and pressures of different parts of the user's body. This significantly improves the mattress's wrapping feel and brings a better user experience.

[0037] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
