Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bedding, specifically to a mattress. Background Technology

[0002] Existing smart medical beds consist of a bed frame and a mattress, and have the function of monitoring the user's status in real time. The mattress uses various sensors to detect the user's status, providing a basis for the implementation of various functions. Existing tactile sensors all consist of a rigid outer cover and sensing elements set inside the cover. Due to the poor deformation performance of the rigid outer cover, when the sensors are placed on the top surface of the mattress and in contact with the user's face, it will create a foreign object sensation for the user, resulting in poor lying comfort and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a mattress with a fabric sensing component. The fabric sensing component is equipped with a flat fabric bag. The fabric bag utilizes its own deformation properties to match and adhere to the user's surface, which not only improves detection accuracy but also effectively eliminates the feeling of foreign objects and enhances user comfort.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following method: a mattress with a fabric sensing component, comprising a mattress body, characterized in that a fabric sensing component is laid on the center of the top surface of the mattress body. The fabric sensing component includes a flat fabric bag and a sensing part disposed within the fabric bag. The fabric bag is formed by processing flexible fabric to reduce the foreign body sensation on the top surface of the mattress body. By providing a fabric sensing component with a flat fabric bag, the fabric bag utilizes its own deformation to match and conform to the user's surface, ensuring that the sensing part can match and conform to the user's surface, improving detection accuracy, effectively eliminating the foreign body sensation, improving comfort, and enhancing the user experience.

[0005] Preferably, the flexible fabric consists of two sheets, which are vertically stacked and sewn together around their perimeter to form the fabric bag. The fabric bag, formed by stacking two sheets of flexible fabric, not only completely encloses the sensing element, protecting it, but also enhances the bag's deformability by layering the flexible fabric. This ensures the bag can conform to the user's surface through deformation, effectively eliminating the foreign body sensation caused by the bag's inability to deform freely.

[0006] Preferably, the fabric bag is elongated and positioned along the width of the mat. This arrangement effectively expands the detection area, ensuring that the user's position on the mat can be accurately detected by the fabric sensing component, thus improving detection accuracy and effectiveness.

[0007] Preferably, the pad includes a support layer and an inner cover that encloses the support layer. The top surface of the inner cover has an inner pocket for inserting and securing a fabric bag. The end of the inner pocket is exposed, forming an installation opening for inserting and removing the fabric bag. The support layer provides stable support for the user, while the inner cover encloses the support layer, providing shape and protection. The inner pocket secures the fabric bag, facilitating the installation and removal of the fabric sensing component and positioning it to prevent displacement due to user resistance or pressure.

[0008] Preferably, the distance between the inner pocket edge and the pad body edge is A, 100mm≤A≤150mm. This ensures that the inner pocket can completely cover the fabric sensing component, while also leaving a gap on the side edge of the top surface of the pad body to prevent accidental contact when the user sits on the edge of the pad body, thereby improving the detection reliability of the fabric sensing component.

[0009] Preferably, the distance between the inner pocket centerline and the front edge of the pad is B, 500mm≤B≤700mm, to ensure that the fabric sensing component corresponds to the user's chest and back, facilitating the detection of the user's physical state such as being on and off the bed, as well as physiological state such as heart rate and respiratory rate.

[0010] Preferably, the mattress has a double reclining position, and corresponding inner pockets are provided on both sides of the top surface of the mattress. Suitable for double beds, it has a double reclining position, and by providing independent inner pockets for each reclining position to install corresponding fabric sensing components, independent detection of different users is possible.

[0011] Preferably, the mattress includes an outer cover that covers the mattress body, which serves to decorate and protect the mattress body, and can be replaced and cleaned by removing the outer cover.

[0012] Preferably, the padding includes a comfort layer disposed above the support layer and enclosed by an inner cover. The comfort layer conforms to the user's surface through its own deformation and provides comfortable support to the user.

[0013] Preferably, the sensing unit includes a piezoelectric sensing strip and a pressure sensing strip arranged along the length of the fabric bag, the piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip being parallel to each other and offset in the front-to-back direction. The piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip are set according to requirements, thereby meeting differentiated detection needs.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the fabric bag has an exposed processor, which is connected to the piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip via a flat conductive strip. The processor receives signal data from the piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip, processes it, and transmits it outward to provide data support for subsequent functions.

[0015] Preferably, the conductive strip is laid in the front-to-back direction and connected to the end edges of the piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip, so that both the piezoelectric sensing strip and the pressure sensing strip are connected to the processor. The conductive strip is laid in the front-to-back direction of the pad, which serves to connect the piezoelectric sensing strip, the pressure sensing strip and the processor in series, and also reduces the foreign body sensation to the user by being offset on the side edge of the pad, thus improving the user experience.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The fabric sensing component with a flat fabric bag is provided. The fabric bag uses its own deformation to match and adhere to the user's surface, which not only ensures that the sensing part can match and adhere to the user's surface, improving detection accuracy, but also effectively eliminates the feeling of foreign objects, improves the comfort of use, and enhances the user experience.

[0022] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 A mattress with a fabric sensing component is shown, comprising a mattress body 1. A fabric sensing component is laid on the center of the top surface of the mattress body 1. The fabric sensing component includes a flat fabric pocket 2 and a sensing element disposed within the fabric pocket 2. The fabric pocket 2 is formed from a flexible fabric 4 to reduce the feeling of foreign objects on the top surface of the mattress body 1. By providing a fabric sensing component with a flat fabric pocket 2, the fabric pocket 2 utilizes its own deformation to match and conform to the user's surface. This ensures that the sensing element conforms to the user's surface, improving detection accuracy, effectively eliminating the feeling of foreign objects, improving comfort, and enhancing the user experience.

[0024] In actual operation, the flexible fabric 4 consists of two sheets, which are vertically stacked and sewn together around their perimeter to form the fabric bag 2. The sensing unit includes a piezoelectric sensing band 6 and a pressure sensing band 7 arranged along the length of the fabric bag 2. The piezoelectric sensing band 6 and the pressure sensing band 7 are parallel to each other and staggered in the front-to-back direction. During assembly, firstly, the piezoelectric sensing band 6 and the pressure sensing band 7 are laid parallel to each other and staggered along the length of the lower flexible fabric 4. Then, the processor 3 is placed at the end of the flexible fabric 4 and exposed. The conductive band 8 is strung between the piezoelectric sensing band 6 and the pressure sensing band 7 and connected to the processor 3. Finally, the upper flexible fabric 4 is stacked on top of the lower flexible fabric 4, and the two are vertically aligned and sewn together around their perimeter to form the fabric bag 2 that wraps the sensing unit.

[0025] After assembly, the piezoelectric sensing strip 6, pressure sensing strip 7, and conductive strip 8 are all located inside the fabric bag 2, serving to wrap and position each of the piezoelectric sensing strip 6, pressure sensing strip 7, and conductive strip 8. The processor 3 is exposed at the end of the fabric sensing assembly, which facilitates communication with external devices and also prevents the cup user from squeezing it through offsetting, effectively extending its service life.

[0026] In actual operation, the fabric bag 2 is elongated and extends along the width of the pad 1. The pad 1 includes a support layer and an inner cover that encloses the support layer. The top surface of the inner cover has an inner pocket 5 for inserting and fixing the fabric bag 2. The end of the inner pocket 5 is exposed, forming an installation opening for inserting and removing the fabric bag 2. The end of the fabric bag 2 passes through the installation opening and is inserted into the inner pocket 5, which facilitates the installation and removal of the fabric sensing component and also positions the fabric sensing component to prevent displacement and improve detection reliability.

[0027] In actual operation, the inner pocket 5 is located in the middle of the top surface of the pad body 1, specifically, as shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the end edge of the inner pocket 5 and the end edge of the pad 1 is A, 100mm≤A≤150mm, and the distance between the center line of the inner pocket 5 and the front edge of the pad 1 is B, 500mm≤B≤700mm. This ensures that the fabric sensing component can be laid along the width of the pad 1 and correspond to the user's chest and back, facilitating both the detection of the user's on / off-bed status via the pressure sensing band 7 and the detection of the user's physiological state via the piezoelectric sensing band 6. The inner pocket 5 is positioned along the width of the pad 1 to ensure that the user remains within the detection range of the fabric sensing component even after turning over, ensuring reliable detection.

[0028] In practice, the mattress includes an outer cover 9 (such as...) that wraps around the mattress body 1. Figure 4As shown in the diagram, the outer cover 9 is used to wrap and protect the pad 1, facilitating disassembly, replacement, and cleaning. The pad 1 includes a comfort layer disposed above the support layer and wrapped by the inner cover. The comfort layer is stacked on top of the support layer and wrapped together by the outer cover 9, ensuring that the relative position between the comfort layer and the support layer is fixed.

[0029] In actual operation, the fabric bag 2 has an exposed processor 3 at one end. The processor 3 is connected to the piezoelectric sensing belt 6 and the pressure sensing belt 7 via a flat conductive strip 8. The conductive strip 8 is laid in the front-to-back direction and is connected to the end edges of the piezoelectric sensing belt 6 and the pressure sensing belt 7, so that both the piezoelectric sensing belt 6 and the pressure sensing belt 7 are connected to the processor 3. The processor 3 and the conductive strip 8 are both located on the side of the top surface of the pad 1, which facilitates the exposure of the processor 3 and its connection to external devices (such as...). Figure 2 (As shown), it will not be squeezed by the user while lying down, ensuring the reliability of the conductive strip 8 connection. The processor 3 can connect to external devices via wired or wireless means, ensuring reliable communication.

[0030] In actual operation, the mattress 1 can be a double mattress, including two lying positions placed in a wide direction. The top surface of the mattress 1 is provided with corresponding inner pockets 5 on both sides so that fabric sensing components can be installed on each lying position. This should also be regarded as a specific embodiment of this utility model.
