Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a bendable sash and mattress. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, a mattress includes a mattress core, an upper quilted layer above the mattress core, a lower quilted layer below the mattress core, and a perimeter strip surrounding the mattress core. The perimeter strip is typically made of composite fabric or quilted fabric.

[0003] In recent years, with the increasing popularity of adjustable electric bed frames, the market demand for mattresses that can bend to accommodate them has been growing. These electric bed frames require the mattress to bend with the frame at specific locations (usually a certain distance from the headboard) to provide comfort features such as back or knee support. Traditional bed rails have poor flexibility, which severely hinders the mattress's ability to bend.

[0004] Specifically, when such mattresses with slats are forcibly bent, two main problems arise:

[0005] 1. High bending resistance, unable to fit snugly: The slats resist bending and deformation, causing the mattress to be unable to conform to the smooth, snug curve of the bed frame.

[0006] 2. Formation of voids and gaps: At the bending points of the webbing:

[0007] The inside will develop obvious wrinkles;

[0008] The outer side will separate from the surface of the electric bed frame, forming a huge, suspended arched gap.

[0009] This not only seriously affects the aesthetics, but also causes the mattress to shake violently and make strange noises when the user turns over or sits up, greatly weakening the product's stability and user experience.

[0010] Therefore, this utility model aims to improve the existing guardrail to solve the problem that it cannot be adapted to bend electric bed frames.

[0011] The information disclosed in this background section is included only to enhance the understanding of the context of this disclosure, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0012] One objective of this invention is to provide a bendable sash and mattress that can solve the problem of poor compatibility between existing mattresses and electric beds.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, on the one hand, this utility model provides a bendable strip for surrounding the side of a mattress inner core, comprising:

[0014] At least two pleats;

[0015] Several flexible connecting parts, wherein the flexibility of the flexible connecting parts is greater than that of the quilted parts, and every two adjacent quilted parts are connected by one of the flexible connecting parts.

[0016] Optionally, the end face of the flexible connector has a trapezoidal structure.

[0017] Optionally, the quilted wainscoting includes, from the outside in, a fabric surface, a smooth cotton layer, a soft sponge, and a non-woven fabric.

[0018] Optionally, the flexible connecting part is an elastic band.

[0019] Optionally, the elastic band is sewn or bonded to the adjacent quilted welt.

[0020] Optionally, the inflatable airbag is heat-pressed or bonded to the adjacent quilted strip.

[0021] On the other hand, a bendable mattress is provided, comprising:

[0022] A mattress inner liner, wherein the mattress inner liner has several bending areas;

[0023] The bendable wainscoting surrounds the circumferential side of the mattress inner core, and the flexible connecting part of the bendable wainscoting is positioned directly opposite the bending area.

[0024] Optionally, the number of bending areas is two, one being a hip bending area and the other a knee bending area;

[0025] The number of quilted sections is four, including a headboard U-shaped quilted section that surrounds the head end of the mattress inner core, a footboard U-shaped quilted section that surrounds the foot end of the mattress inner core, and two straight quilted sections located between the two U-shaped quilted sections.

[0026] The flexible connection between the straight quilted cotton and the headboard U-shaped quilted cotton is the hip connection part, which is set directly opposite the hip bending area;

[0027] The flexible connection between the straight quilted cotton and the U-shaped quilted cotton at the foot of the bed is a knee connection, which is positioned directly opposite the knee bending area.

[0028] Optional,

[0029] The dimensions of the knee joint gradually decrease from top to bottom to reduce the bending radius when bending upwards.

[0030] The dimensions of the hip joint gradually increase from top to bottom to reduce the bending radius when bending downwards.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It provides a bendable mattress styling strip and mattress. By setting at least two quilted sections and several flexible connecting sections connecting them, the styling strip retains the good feel and breathability provided by quilted mattress styling strips as a whole, while also giving the styling strip the characteristic of being bendable at specific positions through the flexible connecting sections. This structure effectively solves the problem that traditional one-piece quilted mattress styling strips cannot adapt to the bending of electric bed frames due to excessive rigidity, allowing the mattress to bend smoothly with the bed frame.

[0032] Therefore, the bendable sash and mattress provided by this utility model can solve the problem of poor compatibility between existing mattresses and electric beds when bending. Attached Figure Description

[0053] This invention provides a bendable sash and mattress, which solves the problem of poor compatibility between existing mattresses and electric beds.

[0054] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bendable mattress provided in this embodiment includes a mattress core 1 and bendable strips surrounding the mattress core 1.

[0055] Optionally, the mattress inner core 1 can be a spring mattress or a latex mattress, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. The bending structure of the mattress inner core 1 is prior art and is not the focus of this utility model, so it will not be described in detail.

[0056] The following section provides a further description of the specific structure of the bendable welt.

[0057] In this embodiment, the bendable welt includes:

[0058] At least two pleats;

[0059] Several flexible connecting parts, wherein the flexibility of the flexible connecting parts is greater than that of the quilted parts, and every two adjacent quilted parts are connected by one of the flexible connecting parts.

[0060] Furthermore, the mattress inner core 1 has several bending areas; the flexible connecting part of the bendable strip is positioned opposite the bending areas so that the bendable strip can be adapted to the mattress inner core 1 for bending.

[0061] The bendable mattress wrap provided by this invention, by setting at least two quilted sections and several flexible connecting sections connecting them, allows the wrap to retain the good feel and breathability provided by the quilted sections as a whole, while also giving the wrap the characteristic of being bendable at specific locations through the flexible connecting sections. This structure effectively solves the problem that traditional one-piece quilted sections cannot adapt to the bending of electric bed frames due to excessive rigidity, allowing the mattress to bend smoothly with the bed frame.

[0062] Therefore, the bendable sash and mattress provided by this utility model can solve the problem of poor compatibility between existing mattresses and electric beds when bending.

[0063] The following description uses the double-fold mattress inner core 1 as an example.

[0064] The mattress inner core 1 has two bending areas, one of which is the hip bending area 101 and the other is the knee bending area 102.

[0065] The number of quilted sections is four, including a headboard U-shaped quilt 201a that surrounds the head of the mattress inner core 1, a footboard U-shaped quilt 201b that surrounds the foot of the mattress inner core 1, and two straight quilts 201c located between the two U-shaped quilts.

[0066] The flexible connection between the straight quilted cotton 201c and the headboard U-shaped quilted cotton is the hip connection 202b, which is set directly opposite the hip bending area 101;

[0067] The flexible connection between the straight quilted cotton 201c and the U-shaped quilted cotton at the foot of the bed 201b is a knee connection 202a, which is positioned directly opposite the knee bending area 102.

[0068] In this embodiment, the end face of the flexible connector is trapezoidal. The core advantage of this trapezoidal design is its ability to perfectly accommodate material deformation during bending. When the strip bends, the outer material of the bending arc needs to be stretched, while the inner material needs to be compressed. The longer base of the trapezoidal structure is positioned on the side that needs to withstand tensile force, and the shorter base is positioned on the side that needs to withstand compressive force. This asymmetrical design provides optimal space and material distribution for the tensile and compressive deformation of the flexible connector, significantly reducing bending resistance, making the bending process smoother and more regular, and effectively preventing twisting or wrinkling of the inner side of the flexible connector. This greatly improves the product's reliability, bending life, and the aesthetics of the bent shape.

[0069] Furthermore, the size of the knee connection portion 202a gradually decreases from top to bottom to reduce the bending radius when bending upwards;

[0070] The dimensions of the hip connector 202b gradually increase from top to bottom to reduce the bending radius when bending downwards.

[0071] (1) When the electric bed frame raises the back (corresponding to the sinking of the buttocks), the bendable mattress needs to form a downward arch at the buttocks position. At this time, the buttocks connection part 202b (with its long bottom edge facing down) starts to work: its long bottom edge is located on the outside (below) of the bending arc, perfectly bearing the tensile stress; its short bottom edge is located on the inside (above) of the bending arc, efficiently adapting to compression deformation. This allows the bendable mattress to bend smoothly at the buttocks position without any dead angles in support.

[0072] (2) When the electric bed frame raises the knees (corresponding to the knee position of the human body), the bendable mattress needs to form an upward arch at the knee position. At this time, the knee connection 202a (with its long bottom edge facing upward) begins to work: its long bottom edge is located on the outside (above) of the bending arc, effectively bearing the tensile stress; its short bottom edge is located on the inside (below) of the bending arc, naturally adapting to compression deformation. This allows the bendable mattress to fold smoothly upward at the knee position, providing even support.

[0073] In this embodiment, the quilted portion includes, from the outside in, fabric, cotton, sponge, and non-woven fabric, thereby providing a good feel and breathability.

[0074] In this embodiment, the flexible connecting part is an elastic band. Optionally, the elastic band is sewn or bonded to the adjacent quilted portion. The good extensibility and elasticity of the elastic band provide the necessary bending flexibility and connection reliability between adjacent quilted portions.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the flexible connection can also be an inflatable airbag. Optionally, the inflatable airbag is heat-pressed or bonded to the adjacent quilted portion. By adjusting the internal air pressure of the inflatable airbag, the support strength and bending resistance of the flexible connection can be flexibly adjusted, thereby achieving adjustment of the overall bending characteristics of the welt to adapt to different usage requirements.

[0076] In this embodiment, the mattress inner core 1 and each of the bendable strips are provided with, from top to bottom, a top quilted cotton layer 3 (cloth + 300g smooth cotton + 1.5cm soft sponge + 25g non-woven fabric), a thick 3D cotton layer 4 (2cm), a latex layer 5, and a soft C cotton layer 6.

[0077] The mattress inner core 1 and each of the bendable strips are provided with a thin 3D cotton layer 7 (0.7cm) and a bottom quilted cotton layer 8 (cloth + 300g smooth cotton + 1.5cm sponge + 25g non-woven fabric) from top to bottom.

[0078] This multi-layered composite structure ensures that the bendable mattress has the necessary support and bending capacity, while greatly improving the mattress's comfort, breathability, and overall sleeping experience.

[0079] In this embodiment, a single bending area may be provided, such as a knee bending area or a hip bending area. Alternatively, a neck bending area may be added. This invention does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0080] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
