Description

Integrated bed structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated bed structure. Background Technology

[0002] Beds are an essential piece of furniture in people's daily lives. Traditional beds consist of three parts: a headboard, a bed frame, and a mattress. Currently, the headboard and bed frame are typically made of wood or metal and are detachably connected by bolts, pins, or clips. The mattress is made separately and placed on top of the bed frame; there is no integrated structural design between the two. When purchasing or moving a bed, users need to transport the headboard, bed frame, and mattress separately. Furthermore, due to the large size and weight of wooden or metal bed frames and headboards, transportation costs are often high and moving is inconvenient.

[0003] In addition, the assembly process is rather complicated:

[0004] Users need to assemble the bed frame components (such as side panels, crossbeams, support legs, etc.) according to the instruction manual.

[0005] Then the headboard is installed onto the bed frame, mostly using screws or clips for fixing;

[0006] Finally, place the individual mattress on the assembled bed frame, and provide additional accessories such as protective pads and fitted sheets as needed.

[0007] This assembly process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to insecure installation due to improper operation, affecting user experience and safety. More importantly, the headboard and bed frame have a fixed volume and lack folding or rolling functions, making it impossible to reduce their size during short-distance or long-distance transportation, thus limiting transportation efficiency and increasing logistics costs.

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, some technologies have attempted to design a semi-integrated headboard and bed frame. However, most of these improvements only address the connection method between the headboard and the bed frame, such as designing connectors for quick assembly and disassembly. They do not change the overall foldable and rollable characteristics of the headboard, bed frame, and mattress, and still require separate transportation and assembly.

[0009] Therefore, existing technologies have not yet achieved a technical solution that highly integrates the headboard, bed frame, and mattress, creates a unified structure, and also ensures foldability for transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated bed structure that allows for overall folding and rolling, reducing transportation volume, and enabling users to use the bed immediately without further assembly.

[0011] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0012] An integrated bed structure includes a headboard, a bed frame, and a fabric layer. The bed frame includes a first elastic layer with a bending function and a second elastic layer with a bending function. The first elastic layer includes a first support pad and a first pocket spring, with the first pocket springs spaced apart on the first support pad. The second elastic layer includes a second support pad and a second pocket spring, with the second pocket springs spaced apart on the second support pad.

[0013] The second elastic layer is disposed on the first elastic layer and located above the first pocket spring;

[0014] The headboard is a flexible headboard with a bending function. The headboard is connected to the bed frame, and the fabric layer is covered on the headboard and the bed frame.

[0015] This invention utilizes a two-layer flexible structure with bending and rolling capabilities stacked within the bed frame—a lower layer consisting of a support pad and pocket springs, and an upper layer consisting of a support pad and pocket springs—connecting the headboard to the bed frame, thus achieving a three-in-one design of headboard, bed frame, and mattress. This structure ensures zoned support and high-resilience comfort while providing the entire bed with high flexibility, allowing it to be smoothly rolled into a compact cylindrical shape without disassembling any parts. This reduces the transport volume to less than 30% of the original volume, significantly lowering logistics and warehousing costs.

[0016] When in use, users only need to loosen the external straps, and the headboard and bed frame will automatically spring back to their original positions. It's ready to use right out of the box, requiring no assembly. There are no rigid metal connectors or exposed bolts, resulting in a smooth and seamless appearance. The multi-layered pocket springs are effectively limited in displacement and buffered in stress by flexible pockets and support pads, allowing for repeated bending without puncturing the fabric or generating noise. This ensures the bed maintains structural integrity and has a long service life throughout the entire process of rolling and unfolding.

[0017] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting pad layer, which is disposed between the first elastic layer and the second elastic layer. One end of the first pocket spring abuts against the first support pad, and the other end of the first pocket spring abuts against one end face of the connecting pad layer. One end of the second pocket spring abuts against the second support pad, and the other end of the second pocket spring abuts against the other end face of the connecting pad layer.

[0019] A connecting pad is placed between the two elastic layers, creating a continuous stress transition zone from the first support pad to the second support pad. The first and second pocket springs abut against the two ends of the connecting pad, and the concentrated stress at the ends of the springs is smoothly dispersed through this intermediate layer, reducing interlayer fatigue; at the same time, it improves the overall bonding strength of the two elastic structures, enhancing the durability of the bed frame under repeated folding and load changes.

[0020] Furthermore, the headboard is disposed on and connected to the second elastic layer.

[0021] The headboard is directly and rigidly connected to the second elastic layer, making the headboard and bed frame a single unit without the need for additional connecting hardware or tools. This direct connection method not only simplifies the production and assembly process but also ensures that the headboard deforms and springs back synchronously with the bed frame's elastic layer when bent, improving the overall structural integrity and ease of use.

[0022] Furthermore, a movable gap is formed between the second pocket spring and the second pocket spring;

[0023] The headboard includes a third support pad and a third pocket spring. The third pocket spring is spaced apart on the third support pad. One end of the third pocket spring is connected to the third support pad, and the other end of the third pocket spring passes through the second support pad, is inserted into the movable gap, and abuts against the first elastic layer.

[0024] A movable gap is left between the second pocket springs, and a third pocket spring is inserted between them, which allows for multi-directional micro-displacement and staggered force distribution when the headboard bends. The movable gap provides buffer space for the spring ends, and the staggered pressure bearing of the third spring can prevent the fabric and underlying structure from being punctured or torn due to concentrated stress, thereby effectively improving the damage resistance of the headboard and bed frame.

[0025] Furthermore, a layer of high-elasticity silicone cushioning pad with a thickness of 2-3mm is embedded at the end of the third pocket spring, and a layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene seamless woven lining is attached to the back of the fabric layer near the third pocket spring.

[0026] A 2–3 mm high-elasticity silicone cushioning pad is embedded at the end of the third pocket spring to absorb impact energy when the spring end contacts the fabric or middle layer. Meanwhile, a seamless woven ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene lining is added to the back of the fabric to provide secondary tear protection against potential localized pressure. This combination significantly reduces the risk of wear and puncture to the fabric layer by the spring end, thereby extending the lifespan of the bed.

[0027] Furthermore, the first pocket spring includes a flexible bag made of high-strength nonwoven fabric and a spring, the flexible bag being fitted onto the spring, and the structures of the second and third pocket springs are the same as those of the first pocket spring.

[0028] The first, second, and third pocket springs are all encased in flexible bags made of high-strength non-woven fabric, which strictly limits the radial and axial displacement of the springs and prevents direct contact and entanglement between adjacent springs. In addition, the flexible bags themselves can suppress movement noise, improve the overall quietness of the bed, and reduce spring fatigue damage, ensuring long-term durability.

[0029] Furthermore, the fabric of the flexible bag is made of a composite weave of low-friction coefficient polyester fiber and elastic fiber, and the inner wall surface of the flexible bag is covered with a fluorinated polymer coating.

[0030] The flexible bag fabric is made of a composite weave of low-friction polyester and elastic fibers, and the inner wall is coated with a fluoropolymer coating, which continuously reduces frictional resistance and wear of the spring during dynamic compression and release. This material combination balances high strength, low friction, and durability, ensuring that the bag sealing spring system remains smooth and reliable even after prolonged and repeated use.

[0031] Furthermore, the height of the bed frame is less than 50 cm, and the height of the headboard is less than 90 cm.

[0032] By keeping the bed height below 50cm and the headboard height below 90cm, not only does it conform to the current popular aesthetic of low-profile furniture, but it also reduces the difficulty and safety risks during packing, handling, and user use (getting on and off the bed). Furthermore, the reduced volume and weight help to further save on packaging and logistics costs.

[0033] Furthermore, a first adjusting pad, a softness-firming adjusting layer, and a second adjusting pad are sequentially arranged between the fabric layer and the second elastic layer, and a first adjusting pad, a softness-firming adjusting layer, and a second adjusting pad are sequentially arranged between the end face of the headboard near the bed frame and the fabric layer.

[0034] Between the fabric layer and the second elastic layer, and between the headboard side and the fabric layer, there are separate "first adjustment layer - firmness adjustment layer - second adjustment layer," allowing for zoned adjustments from cushioning to firmness to support. Users can enjoy the snug, enveloping feel of memory foam, switch firmness levels using the firmness adjustment layer, and the second adjustment layer provides stable support and breathable moisture-wicking properties, significantly enhancing the personalized sleep experience and overall comfort.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a flexible concealed hinge, in which the headboard and the bed frame are integratedly connected by a flexible concealed hinge located at their connection surface. The flexible concealed hinge is made of a high-strength elastic polymer material. The flexible concealed hinge allows the headboard and the bed frame to maintain structural stability when bent in the same direction and automatically returns to a straight state after the external force is released.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] This invention utilizes a three-in-one design combining a headboard, bed frame, and mattress by stacking two layers of flexible structures within the bed frame: a lower layer consisting of a support pad and pocket springs, and an upper layer consisting of a support pad and pocket springs. The headboard is connected to the bed frame. This structure ensures zoned support and high resilience comfort while providing exceptional flexibility, allowing the bed to be smoothly rolled into a compact cylindrical shape without disassembling any parts. This reduces the transport volume to less than 30% of the original volume, significantly lowering logistics and storage costs.

[0038] This invention allows users to simply loosen the external straps during use; the headboard and bed frame automatically spring back to their original positions, making it ready to use immediately without any assembly. It features no rigid metal connectors or exposed bolts, resulting in a smooth, integrated appearance. The multi-layered pocket springs, with their flexible padding and support layers, effectively limit displacement and buffer stress, allowing for repeated bending without puncturing the fabric or generating noise. This ensures the bed maintains structural integrity and a long service life throughout the entire process of rolling and unfolding.

[0039] This invention features a movable gap between the second pocket springs, with a third pocket spring inserted between them. This allows for multi-directional micro-displacement and staggered stress distribution when the headboard bends. The movable gap provides buffer space for the spring ends, and the staggered pressure bearing of the third spring prevents the fabric and underlying structure from being punctured or torn due to concentrated stress, thereby effectively improving the damage resistance of the headboard and bed frame.

[0046] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0047] Example 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, is an integrated bed structure including a headboard 1, a bed body 2, and a fabric layer 3. The bed body 2 includes a first elastic layer 4 with a bending function and a second elastic layer 5 with a bending function. The first elastic layer 4 includes a first support pad 41 and a first pocket spring 42, with the first pocket spring 42 spaced apart on the first support pad 41. The second elastic layer 5 includes a second support pad 51 and a second pocket spring 52, with the second pocket spring 52 spaced apart on the second support pad 51.

[0048] The second elastic layer 5 is disposed on the first elastic layer 4 and located above the first pocket spring 42;

[0049] The headboard 1 is an elastic headboard 1 with a bending function. The headboard 1 is connected to the bed frame 2, and the fabric layer 3 is fitted onto the headboard 1 and the bed frame 2.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting pad 6, which is disposed between the first elastic layer 4 and the second elastic layer 5. One end of the first pocket spring 42 abuts against the first support pad 41, and the other end of the first pocket spring 42 abuts against one end face of the connecting pad 6. One end of the second pocket spring 52 abuts against the second support pad 51, and the other end of the second pocket spring 52 abuts against the other end face of the connecting pad 6.

[0051] Furthermore, the headboard 1 is disposed on and connected to the second elastic layer 5.

[0052] Furthermore, a movable gap 53 is formed between the second pocket spring 52 and the second pocket spring 52;

[0053] The headboard 1 includes a third support pad 11 and a third pocket spring 12. The third pocket spring 12 is spaced on the third support pad 11. One end of the third pocket spring 12 is connected to the third support pad 11, and the other end of the third pocket spring 12 passes through the second support pad 51, is inserted into the movable gap 53, and abuts against the first elastic layer 4.

[0054] Furthermore, the height of the bed body 2 is less than 50 cm, and the height of the headboard 1 is less than 90 cm.

[0055] Furthermore, a first adjusting pad 7, a softness-firming adjusting layer 8, and a second adjusting pad 9 are sequentially arranged between the fabric layer 3 and the second elastic layer 5, and a first adjusting pad 7, a softness-firming adjusting layer 8, and a second adjusting pad 9 are sequentially arranged between the end face of the headboard 1 near the bed frame 2 and the fabric layer 3.

[0056] Curling operation method: The worker gently presses the headboard 1 towards the bed body 2, and at the same time rolls the entire bed inward, rolling the bed body 2 and the headboard 1 together into a compact cylindrical shape. After securing it with detachable straps or packing straps, the transportation and packaging are complete.

[0057] Automatic unfolding upon unpacking: When the user takes out the bed frame 2 and loosens the straps, the headboard 1 automatically resets under elastic action, and the bed frame 2 automatically resets under elastic action, unfolding the integrated bed structure flat to the original plane without any additional installation or tools, truly achieving "ready to use out of the box".

[0058] Seamless bending and automatic unfolding of headboard 1 and bed frame 2: During the bending process of headboard 1, the end of the third pocket spring 12 is inserted into the movable gap 53 between the second pocket springs 52 instead of directly pressing against the fabric layer 3. This allows for multi-directional micro-displacement and staggered force distribution when headboard 1 is bent. The movable gap 53 provides buffer space for the spring end. The staggered pressure of the third spring can prevent the fabric and underlying structure from being punctured or torn due to concentrated stress, thereby effectively improving the damage resistance of headboard 1 and bed frame 2. This ensures that the whole structure rebounds together after the external force is released without damaging the structure, thus achieving seamless bending and automatic unfolding of headboard 1 and bed frame 2.

[0059] Referring to Figure 6, the following content can be added to this embodiment 1 to form embodiment 2:

[0060] Furthermore, a layer of high-elasticity silicone cushioning pad 200 with a thickness of 2~3mm is embedded at the end of the third pocket spring 12, and a layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene seamless woven lining 300 is attached to the back of the fabric layer 3 on the side close to the third pocket spring 12.

[0061] Furthermore, the first pocket spring 42 includes a flexible bag 421 and a spring 422 made of high-strength nonwoven fabric, wherein the flexible bag 421 is sleeved on the spring 422, and the structures of the second pocket spring 52 and the third pocket spring 12 are the same as the structure of the first pocket spring 42.

[0062] Furthermore, the fabric of the flexible bag 421 is made of a composite weave of low-friction coefficient polyester fiber and elastic fiber, and the inner wall surface of the flexible bag 421 is covered with a fluorinated polymer coating.

[0063] Furthermore, it also includes a flexible hidden hinge 400, through which the headboard 1 and the bed body 2 are integratedly connected by the flexible hidden hinge 400 set on the connection surface of the two. The flexible hidden hinge 400 is made of high-strength elastic polymer material. The flexible hidden hinge 400 allows the headboard 1 and the bed body 2 to maintain structural stability when bent in the same direction, and automatically returns to a straight state after the external force is released.

[0064] Seamless bending and automatic unfolding of headboard 1 and bed frame 2: During the bending process of headboard 1, the end of the third pocket spring 12 is inserted into the movable gap 53 between the second pocket springs 52 instead of directly pressing against the fabric layer 3. The stress it bears is first dispersed by the staggered structure of the third support pad 11 and the second support pad 51, and then smoothly transitioned to the first elastic layer 4 through the connecting pad layer 6. At the same time, the end of the third spring 422 is covered in a flexible bag 421 and supplemented with multiple layers of protection from a high-elasticity silicone buffer pad 200 and a seamless woven lining of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene 300, which can effectively absorb and diffuse the pressure of the tip, avoid concentrated puncture, and realize the seamless bending and automatic unfolding of headboard 1 and bed frame 2.
