Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing mattresses include a mattress body and a control box. The mattress body contains airbags, and the control box can adjust the air pressure within the airbags to achieve corresponding functions. The airbags act as support bladders, adjusting firmness through air pressure to provide comfortable support for the user. They can also function as massage bladders, expanding and contracting through reciprocating inflation and deflation to provide massage stimulation. The existing control box includes a housing, a suspension frame housed within the housing, and functional components and a control board mounted on the suspension frame. The functional components include an air pump assembly and a solenoid valve assembly, which are suspended below the suspension frame via shock-absorbing strips. The control board is fixed below the suspension frame with fasteners. Due to the limited space within the control box, the functional components and control board are positioned adjacent to each other with a small gap. During use, the functional components operate and vibrate. Because the shock-absorbing strips are deformable, the functional components may sway and shift, impacting the control board. This impact can easily damage the control board, shortening its lifespan, increasing maintenance costs, and negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a control box and mattress with a protective frame. The protective frame is installed on the control board to block functional components, effectively preventing them from colliding with the control board, thus protecting the control board, extending its service life, and improving the user experience.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following method: a control box with a protective frame, including a housing, a suspension disposed within the housing, and functional components and a control board mounted on the suspension. The functional components are movably mounted on the suspension via shock-absorbing strips. The protective frame is mounted on the control board, located on the side of the control board facing the functional components, to prevent the functional components from impacting the control board under force. By providing a protective frame on the side of the control board facing the functional components, direct contact between the functional components and the control board is prevented, effectively preventing impacts and protecting the control board. This extends the service life, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the user experience.

[0005] Preferably, the control panel is fixed to the lower side of one side of the suspension, and the functional component is suspended on the lower side of the other side of the suspension via a shock-absorbing strip. The protective frame is disposed on the side edge of the control panel facing the functional component. The protective frame is positioned between the control panel and the functional component, effectively preventing the functional component from directly impacting the control panel and thus protecting the control panel.

[0006] Preferably, the protective frame is fitted onto the side edge of the control panel. The protective frame includes a protective portion along the edge of the control panel and a fixing portion perpendicular to the protective portion. The protective frame is fixed to the control panel via the fixing portion, so that the protective portion covers the edge of the control panel. The protective frame wraps around and protects the corner of the control panel's side edge. The fixing portion is fixedly attached to the control panel, increasing the contact area to disperse the impact force from the functional components, preventing damage to the control panel due to localized concentrated force. The protective portion acts as a barrier against impacts from the functional components, ensuring that the functional components cannot directly contact the control panel. The protective portion can offset part of the impact force, improving the protection effect. The functional components will not contact the protective frame during normal operation; the protective frame only limits excessively offset functional components.

[0007] Preferably, the protective frame is located at the corner of the control panel, and the protective part is L-shaped and can fit and wrap around the corner of the control panel. The L-shaped protective part matches the contour of the corner, and disperses the impact force by increasing the contact area. It can shield the corner and the areas on both sides, ensuring that the functional components do not come into contact with the corner and the areas on both sides.

[0008] Preferably, the protective frame is disposed at the edge of the control panel, and the protective part is flat and perpendicular to the fixing part. The protective frame can be fitted along the edge of the control panel, effectively increasing the contact area, effectively dispersing the impact force, and protecting the side edge of the control panel.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the protective part is greater than the thickness of the control plate, so as to form a protective space above the control plate for the protective part to deform under stress. The top edge of the protective part is located above the control plate, ensuring that the functional components that abut against the protective part and the control plate always maintain a safe distance, and providing space for the protective part to deform under stress to offset the impact force.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surface of the suspension extends downward to form a connecting post with threaded holes. Fasteners pass through the fixing part and the control plate sequentially from bottom to top and are screwed into the threaded holes for locking. The fixing part and the control plate fit tightly together to keep the relative posture between the protective part and the control plate constant. The connecting post extends downward from the bottom surface of the suspension and has good structural strength. The control plate and the protective frame are screwed into the connecting post using shared fasteners, which allows the impact force on the protective frame to be transmitted to the suspension through the fasteners, effectively improving the impact resistance of the protective frame and ensuring that the relative position between the control plate and the protective frame is fixed.

[0011] Preferably, there are at least two protective frames, each positioned at a corner of the control panel facing the functional component. By using multiple protective frames to protect different areas of the control panel, the size of the protective frames is effectively reduced, facilitating manufacturing and use. Furthermore, the increased coverage area of ​​the control panel by the protective frames enhances the reliability of protection.

[0012] Preferably, the protective frame is made of rubber, silicone, or plastic. The protective frame is deformable and can be reset, which can not only offset the impact force through its own deformation and improve the reliability of protection, but also prepare for the next impact through reset deformation and improve service life.

[0013] Preferably, the functional component is an air pump assembly. The air pump assembly can provide high-pressure air from the outside, thereby achieving air pressure regulation inside the airbag.

[0014] Preferably, the functional component is a solenoid valve assembly. The solenoid valve assembly is used to regulate the airflow direction, thereby precisely controlling the air pressure inside each airbag.

[0015] Preferably, the suspension is equipped with a buffer air box to buffer the airflow and effectively reduce noise.

[0016] A mattress includes a mattress body comprising air bladders and a control box, wherein the air pressure within the air bladders is regulated by the control box. The control box regulates the air pressure within each air bladder and utilizes a protective frame to prevent the air pump assembly and solenoid valve assembly from impacting the control panel due to excessive misalignment.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A protective frame is set on the side of the control board facing the functional components to prevent the functional components from directly contacting the control board, effectively preventing the functional components from colliding with the control board, thus protecting the control board, effectively extending its service life, reducing maintenance costs, and improving the user experience.

[0026] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This embodiment provides a control box.

[0029] like Figure 1 The control box 11 shown includes a housing 1, a suspension 2 disposed within the housing 1, and functional components and a control plate 3 mounted on the suspension 2. The functional components are movably mounted on the suspension 2 via shock-absorbing strips 4. A protective frame 5 is mounted on the control plate 3, located on the side of the control plate 3 facing the functional components, to prevent the functional components from impacting the control plate 3 under force. The protective frame 5 on the side of the control plate 3 facing the functional components serves to prevent direct contact between the functional components and the control plate 3, effectively preventing impacts and protecting the control plate 3, extending its service life, reducing maintenance costs, and also effectively reducing the distance between the control plate 3 and the functional components, thereby reducing the size of the control box 11, facilitating disassembly and assembly, reducing its space occupation within the mattress, and improving the user experience.

[0030] In this embodiment, the control panel 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of one side of the suspension 2, and the functional component is suspended below the other side of the suspension 2 via the shock-absorbing band 4 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, the protective frame 5 is disposed on the side edge of the control plate 3 facing the functional component. The functional component is suspended below the suspension 2 by a shock-absorbing strip 4. The shock-absorbing strip 4 is an elastic flexible strip that can offset the vibration generated by the operation of the functional component through its own deformation, thereby preventing the vibration from being transmitted outward and generating noise. Because the shock-absorbing strip 4 is deformable, the functional component will sway under its own vibration. The protective frame 5 on the control plate 3 can effectively prevent the functional component from shifting and hitting the control plate 3, ensuring the safety of the control plate 3. It can also effectively reduce the distance between the control plate 3 and the functional component, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the housing 1, reducing the size of the housing 1, and facilitating concealment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the protective frame 5 is sleeved on the side edge of the control plate 3. The protective frame 5 includes a protective part 6 disposed along the edge of the control plate 3 and a fixing part 7 disposed perpendicular to the protective part 6 (e.g., ...). Figure 4As shown, the protective frame 5 is fixed to the control plate 3 by the fixing part 7, so that the protective part 6 covers the edge of the control plate 3. The control plate 3 is located below the suspension 2, and its side edge is adjacent to the functional component. Placing the protective frame 5 on the side edge of the control plate 3 can effectively separate the functional component and the control plate 3 without affecting the fixed connection between the control plate 3 and the suspension 2, ensuring the positioning reliability of the control plate 3. The protective frame 5 includes a protective part 6 and a fixing part 7. The fixing part 7 is attached to the surface of the control plate 3, and the impact force is diffused by increasing the contact area to prevent the control plate 3 from being damaged due to localized concentrated force. The protective part 6 is placed between the functional component and the control plate 3 to resist the impact from the functional component. The protective part 6 offsets the impact force of the functional component by its own deformation, thereby effectively reducing the force on the control plate 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, due to the limited space between the control panel 3 and the functional components, the protective frame 5 will change its outline according to the specific installation position, ensuring that the protective frame 5 can protect the control panel 3 while also making effective use of space. The protective frame 5 includes, but is not limited to, the following structures:

[0033] Structure 1: The protective frame 5 is set at the corner of the control panel 3. The protective part 6 is L-shaped and can fit and wrap around the corner of the control panel 3. The protective part 6 is L-shaped and matches the corner contour, so that the protective part 6 can cover the corner and the area on both sides, effectively improving the protection effect of the corner of the control panel 3.

[0034] Structure 2: The protective frame 5 is located at the edge of the control panel 3, and the protective part 6 is flat and perpendicular to the fixing part 7. The protective part 6 is flat and fits along the edge of the control panel 3, effectively improving the protection effect at the edge of the control panel 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the height of the protective part 6 is greater than the thickness of the control plate 3, so as to form a protective space above the control plate 3 for the protective part 6 to deform under force. The bottom edge of the protective part 6 is connected to the fixing part 7, and the top edge extends upward to form a protective space above the control plate 3. This can effectively increase the distance between the functional component and the control plate 3, and also provide deformation space for the protective part 6, thereby offsetting the impact force from the functional component. The protective frame 5 is made of rubber, silicone, or plastic, etc., all of which have elastic restoring properties and should be considered as specific implementations of this embodiment.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the suspension 2 extends downward to form a connecting post 8 with a screw hole (e.g., Figure 2As shown, the fasteners pass through the fixing part 7 and the control plate 3 from bottom to top and are then screwed into the screw holes for locking. The fixing part 7 and the control plate 3 are tightly fitted to ensure a constant relative posture between the protective part 6 and the control plate 3. During installation, the control plate 3 is stacked on the bottom surface of the suspension 2 and abuts against the end face of the connecting column 8. The protective frame 5 is fitted and stacked on the bottom surface of the control plate 3 through the fixing part 7. The fasteners pass through the fixing part 7 and the control plate 3 from bottom to top and are then screwed into the corresponding screw holes, so that the fixing part 7 and the control plate 3 are stacked and fixed under the suspension 2. In use, the impact force received by the protective frame 5 can be transmitted directly to the suspension 2 through the fasteners and can also be diffused to the surface of the control plate 3 through the fixing part 7, effectively diffusing and transmitting the impact force and protecting the control plate 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the protective frame 5 is at least two (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the protective frame 5 is respectively set at the corner of the control plate 3 facing the functional component. In addition, the protective frame 5 can also be set at any position of the control plate 3 as needed to protect the control plate 3 from impact. This should also be regarded as a specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0038] In this embodiment, the functional components are the air pump assembly 9, the solenoid valve assembly 10, and the buffer air box 12, etc. (e.g.) Figure 6 As shown, the configuration of the control box 11 according to its functions and the corresponding functions shall be regarded as specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] This embodiment provides a mattress.

[0041] like Figure 7 The mattress shown includes a mattress body, which includes airbags 13 and a control box 11. The air pressure inside the airbags 13 is regulated by the control box 11. The control box 11 regulates the air pressure inside each airbag 13, and a protective frame 5 is used to prevent the air pump assembly 9 and the solenoid valve assembly 10 from impacting the control panel 3 due to excessive displacement.

[0042] The other structures and effects of the control box described in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
