Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a trial sleep mattress that enables a user to take a trial sleep.

Background Art

[0002] Since a mattress is continuously used for a long time during daily sleep, a mattress suitable for each user is desired. However, in many cases, users do not know well how to select a mattress suitable for themselves.

[0003] In order to cope with such a situation, a mattress providing system that provides a mattress suitable for a user has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the mattress providing system of Patent Document 1, a plurality of types of mattress models having different hardness distribution patterns set based on the prediction of the sleeping posture shape and body pressure value are prepared in advance. When the user sleeps on a plurality of types of mattresses, the sleeping posture shape and body pressure value for each mattress are calculated, and based on the calculation result, a mattress model suitable for the user is automatically selected. After allowing the user to experience the selected mattress, the mattress to be provided to the user is determined.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, in the mattress providing system of Patent Document 1, a plurality of types of mattress models having different hardness distribution patterns are prepared in advance, and a mattress suitable for the user is automatically selected from these mattress models.

[0006] That is, as user attributes, there are various ones such as weight, height, and BMI derived from them. It is no exaggeration to say that there are no users with exactly the same above - mentioned attributes, just as body types and living habits vary from person to person. When determining the specifications of a mattress, it is necessary to accommodate various attributes. However, since the types of mattress models in Patent Document 1 are predetermined, even if there is no suitable mattress in terms of attributes, one of the mattresses will be applied, making it difficult to place a detailed order based on the user's attributes.

[0007] On the other hand, regarding the mattress, from the perspective of appropriate body pressure distribution, it can be divided into a plurality of zones such as a part that supports the buttocks, a part that supports the shoulders, and a part that supports the legs. There is an idea of changing the hardness (resilience) of the springs in each zone. Also, it is considered that by changing the width of each zone (the width in the user's height direction) according to the user's attributes, more appropriate body pressure distribution can be achieved.

[0008] However, since the types of mattress models in Patent Document 1 are predetermined, it is difficult to finely change the position of the zones and the width of each zone according to the user's attributes, and there is a problem that it is hard to say that a truly suitable mattress has been selected.

[0009] Therefore, it is conceivable to finely provide the specifications of a mattress suitable for the user by determining the hardness of the springs arranged in each zone according to a predetermined algorithm. However, whether the specifications determined by the algorithm are really comfortable for the user cannot be determined without trying out the mattress. However, manufacturing a new mattress only for the purpose of trying it out is time - consuming and leads to a cost increase.

[0010] This disclosure is in view of such points, and its purpose is to enable the inexpensive production of a trial - use mattress suitable for the user.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, in one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to assume a manufacturing device for manufacturing a trial sleep mattress in which a plurality of springs for supporting the body are arranged side by side vertically and horizontally. This manufacturing device for the trial sleep mattress includes a bottom plate member that constitutes the bottom of the trial sleep mattress and supports the spring from below, a frame member provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate member and defining a region where the spring is disposed, and a plurality of partition portions that extend in the lateral direction of the trial sleep mattress inside the frame member and are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the trial sleep mattress. The intervals between the plurality of partition portions are set to correspond to the outer diameter of the spring. A spring arrangement space in which a plurality of the springs arranged in the lateral direction of the trial sleep mattress are disposed is formed between adjacent partition portions.

[0012] That is, when determining the specifications of a mattress suitable for a user, if the hardness of the springs arranged in each zone, such as a leg support portion for supporting the user's legs, a hip support portion for supporting the hips, a back support portion for supporting the back, and a shoulder support portion for supporting the shoulders, is determined by a predetermined algorithm, the hardness of the springs for realizing the specifications generally differs for each zone. Therefore, a plurality of types of springs with different hardnesses are prepared. After preparing a plurality of types of springs with different hardnesses, by placing them in the spring arrangement space between adjacent partition portions so as to realize the above specifications, a trial sleep mattress with springs of different hardnesses arranged for each zone can be obtained. Since the spring arrangement space is pre-formed inside the frame member, the person manufacturing the trial sleep mattress can clearly see where to arrange the springs at a glance, and can proceed with the work while holding a plurality of springs in the spring arrangement space for each row. As a result, the work of manufacturing the trial sleep mattress becomes easy and can be carried out in a short time.

[0013] In addition, the vertical dimension of the frame member can be set lower than the vertical dimension of the spring in a state where the body is supported. In this case, a cushioning material made of a member softer than the frame member and formed to protrude above the frame member may be provided in an annular shape surrounding the outside of the frame member.

[0014] According to this configuration, since the upper part of the cushioning material is located above the frame member, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling the hardness of the frame member when trying out the bed.

[0015] Also, on the inner surface of the cushioning material, a recess into which the spring fits may be formed so as to be located between the partition portions adjacent to each other in plan view.

[0016] According to this configuration, the spring placed in the spring arrangement space can be fitted and held in the recess of the cushioning material, so that the spring is stabilized.

[0017] Furthermore, it may further include a covering member that covers the plurality of springs arranged in the spring arrangement space from above, and a first fixing member that detachably fixes the peripheral edge portion of the covering member to the cushioning material.

[0018] According to this configuration, after placing the spring in the spring arrangement space, by fixing the peripheral edge portion of the covering member to the cushioning material with the first fixing member, the shape of the cushioning material can be maintained so that the cushioning material does not lose its shape.

[0019] Furthermore, it may further include a second fixing member that detachably fixes the stuffing arranged on the upper surface of the covering member to the cushioning material. According to this configuration, for example, when a plurality of types of stuffing are prepared, the work of exchanging to different types of stuffing can be easily performed.

Advantages of the Invention

[0020] As described above, since a spring arrangement space is formed between a plurality of partition parts provided inside the frame member, the work of arranging a plurality of springs with different hardnesses for each zone can be easily and quickly performed. As a result, a trial sleep mattress suitable for the user can be manufactured at low cost.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiments is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0023] FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of the mattress providing system 1. Also, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the mattress providing system 1. The mattress providing system 1 is a system for determining and providing the specifications of a mattress suitable for the user A (shown in FIG. 1), and is used, for example, by mattress manufacturing companies, sales companies, stores, exhibition venues, etc. Therefore, the administrator of the mattress providing system 1 is an employee or salesperson of a manufacturing company. By using the mattress providing system 1, a mattress providing method, a mattress specification proposal method, etc. for providing a mattress suitable for the user A can be executed. Since the user A is a person who plans to use the mattress provided by the mattress providing system 1, the user A can also be called a person who plans to use the product.

[0024] The mattress is used, for example, in a state of being placed on a bed frame (not shown). The mattress whose specifications are provided by the mattress providing system 1 includes a plurality of pocket coils. The pocket coil is constituted by housing a coil spring (hereinafter simply referred to as a spring), which is formed by shaping a steel wire having elasticity into a coil shape, in a bag made of non-woven fabric or the like. The spring may have the same outer diameter from the upper end to the lower end, or may be a barrel-shaped one whose outer diameter becomes smaller as it approaches the upper end and the lower end.

[0025] A plurality of pocket coils are arranged vertically and horizontally on the mattress and held by a frame material, thereby forming the main body portion (cushion layer) of the mattress. For example, filling materials such as cotton, urethane foam (support urethane, high-resilience foam, latex) are laid on the surface layer portion of the mattress. The pocket coils and the filling materials are covered by a side fabric (cover).

[0026] The mattress providing system 1 includes a standing posture measuring device 10, an operation terminal 20, and a server 30. The standing posture measuring device 10 is an example of a posture measuring device that measures the posture of the user A, and is configured to be able to measure the standing posture of the user A from the rear. The user A is a person who plans to use the mattress at the stage of measuring the posture.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the standing posture measuring device 10 includes a sensor 11 and a data generation unit 12. The sensor 11 may be an optical sensor that irradiates the measurement light L to the user A to measure the posture as shown in FIG. 1, or may be a sensor that directly applies the measuring element 11a to the user A to measure the posture as shown in FIG. 3, for example. When using the measuring element 11a, in order to measure the shape of the range from the cervical vertebra of the user A to the sacrum, that is, the portion called the S-shaped curve of the spine, while moving it in the vertical direction, it is measured in order from the portion corresponding to the cervical vertebra of the user A to the portion corresponding to the sacrum. For example, by setting a virtual reference line B passing through the center of the user A and acquiring the displacement with respect to this reference line B by the sensor 11, the posture of the user A can be measured.

[0028] The data generation unit 12 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer or the like, and is a portion into which the measurement values output from the sensor 11 are input. The data generation unit 12 is a portion that processes the measurement values output from the sensor 11 and uses them as the posture data of the user A. FIG. 4 shows the posture data of three users A obtained by processing the measurement values of the postures of the three users A. The posture data can be data that can be represented by a curve as shown in FIG. 4. The posture data of the user A generated by the data generation unit 12 is an example of information regarding the posture of the user, and can be transmitted to the operation terminal 20.

[0029] When using the optical sensor shown in FIG. 1 as the sensor 11, the measurement light L is irradiated in the range from the portion corresponding to the cervical vertebra of the user A to the portion corresponding to the sacrum, and the reflected light is received, so that the distance between each point and the sensor 11 can be calculated by using, for example, the principle of triangulation. Based on the calculated distance, the data generation unit 12 generates the posture data of the user A. Also, a camera can be used as the optical sensor, and in this case, the posture of the user A can be measured by image processing.

[0030] (Configuration of the operation terminal) As shown in FIG. 1, the operation terminal 20 is composed of, for example, a tablet terminal, a notebook personal computer, a smartphone, etc., and is, for example, a portable or mobile terminal. The operation terminal 20 can be used as a dedicated operation terminal 20 by installing a program and software in a general-purpose personal computer. Also, the operation terminal 20 may be composed of a desktop personal computer.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the operation terminal 20 includes a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, an arithmetic unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a terminal-side transceiver 25. The display unit 21 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, etc., and can display various user interfaces, images, characters, symbols, etc.

[0032] The operation unit 22 is composed of, for example, a pressure-sensitive or capacitive touch-type operation panel, etc., and is a part that detects, for example, what operations are performed by the administrator or the user A almost in real time. Since the touch-type operation panel is well known in the art, detailed description thereof is omitted, but by providing it laminated with the display unit 21, operations such as buttons displayed on the display unit 21 (operations by the administrator or the user A) can be detected.

[0033] The arithmetic unit 23 is composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and storage devices such as a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 24 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor memory, and stores a program, images, various information, etc. for operating the operation terminal 20 in a readable state. The arithmetic unit 23 operates according to the program stored in the storage unit 24, controls the display unit 21 to display a desired user interface, images, characters, symbols, etc., and acquires the operation status of the administrator or user A detected by the operation unit 22.

[0034] The terminal-side transceiver 25 is a part that communicates with the server-side transceiver 31 of the server 30, and is composed of, for example, a transceiver module. The terminal-side transceiver 25 and the server-side transceiver 31 are configured to be communicable via, for example, an Internet line. Thereby, various data can be transmitted and received between the operation terminal 20 and the server 30, and data upload and download can be performed.

[0035] On the operation terminal 20, a user interface for inputting personal information can be displayed on the display unit 21. The user A operates the operation unit 22 via the user interface for inputting personal information to input personal information such as name, address, height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, sitting height, leg length, gender, age, exercise history, sleeping position, sleep time on holidays, and sleep time other than holidays. The sleeping position indicates whether one sleeps on one's back, on one's side, or face down more often. The input personal information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 24 etc. after being associated with identification information such as an ID. Height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, sitting height, leg length, gender, age, exercise history, sleeping position, sleep time on holidays, and sleep time other than holidays are attributes of the user A. That is, in the mattress providing system 1, it is possible to input a plurality of attributes including at least the height and weight of the user A. The input of attributes may be performed by the user A or by the administrator.

[0036] The operation terminal 20 is communicably connected to the standing posture measuring device 10. The posture data of the user A generated by the data generation unit 12 of the standing posture measuring device 10 is received by the terminal-side transceiver 25 of the operation terminal 20. The posture data of the user A received by the terminal-side transceiver 25 is temporarily stored in the storage unit 24 or the like after being associated with the above identification information.

[0037] Since the personal information of the user A and the posture data of the user A are associated by the above identification information, there is no confusion with the personal information or posture data of others. When an administrator or the like operates the operation unit 22 to give an instruction to upload data, the personal information of the user A and the posture data of the user A are transmitted to the server-side transceiver 31. Before the data is transmitted, the data can be confirmed by an administrator or the like, and corrections can be made if incorrect data is included.

[0038] (Configuration of the server) The server 30 includes a server-side transceiver 31, an attribute reception unit 32, a posture data reception unit 33, a determination unit 34, a change reception unit 35, and a data storage unit 36. The server-side transceiver 31 is composed of, for example, a transceiver module or the like, and is the part that communicates with the terminal-side transceiver 25 of the operation terminal 20 as described above. The attribute reception unit 32, the posture data reception unit 33, the determination unit 34, and the change reception unit 35 are composed of, for example, a combination of a CPU and a storage device such as a ROM or a ROM. By operating according to a program pre-stored in the CPU, it is possible to realize the functions of the attribute reception unit 32, the posture data reception unit 33, the determination unit 34, and the change reception unit 35. The attribute reception unit 32, the posture data reception unit 33, the determination unit 34, and the change reception unit 35 do not need to be physically separated, and the functions of two or more of the attribute reception unit 32, the posture data reception unit 33, the determination unit 34, and the change reception unit 35 may be realized by one microcomputer.

[0039] The attribute reception unit 32 is a part that receives the input of a plurality of attributes of user A input by the operation terminal 20. Specifically, when the personal information transmitted from the terminal-side transmission / reception unit 25 of the operation terminal 20 is received by the server-side transmission / reception unit 31, among the personal information, as information corresponding to the attributes of user A, height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, sitting height, leg length, gender, age, exercise history, sleeping posture, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, etc. are associated with the above identification information and then received by the attribute reception unit 32. The plurality of attributes of user A received by the attribute reception unit 32 are stored, for example, in the data storage unit 36 or the like.

[0040] The posture data reception unit 33 is a part that receives the posture data of user A measured by the standing posture measuring device 10. Specifically, when the posture data of user A transmitted from the terminal-side transmission / reception unit 25 of the operation terminal 20 is received by the server-side transmission / reception unit 31, after being associated with the above identification information, it is received by the posture data reception unit 33. The posture data of user A received by the posture data reception unit 33 is stored, for example, in the data storage unit 36 or the like.

[0041] The determination unit 34 is a part that determines the zoning position, spring hardness, zoning width, and type of stuffing. The zoning position is, as shown in FIG. 5, the respective positions of the parts that support each part of user A (partially shown in FIG. 5) in the sleeping posture on the mattress 100. In FIG. 5, the leg support part 101 that supports the legs of user A, the hip support part 102 that supports the hips of user A, the back support part 103 that supports the back of user A, and the shoulder support part 104 that supports the shoulders of user A are each exemplified as the zoning position. The number of zoning positions is not limited to the four described above. For example, the part that supports the lower side of the legs of user A, the part that supports the upper side of the legs, the part that supports the lower side of the back, the part that supports the upper side of the back, etc. may each be included in the zoning position.

[0042] Spring hardness refers to the hardness of the springs disposed in the support parts (supporting parts) that support each part of user A on the mattress 100, and has a correlation with the spring constant of the springs. The spring hardness can also be expressed by the wire diameter of the steel wire constituting the spring. In this embodiment, for example, springs with a wire diameter in the range of 1.3 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less are used to change the hardness of the springs disposed in the parts that support each part of the mattress 100. Specifically, springs with a wire diameter of 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm, etc. can be used, but it is not limited to these, and the hardness can be adjusted using springs with any wire diameter.

[0043] The zoning width is the width in the longitudinal direction of user A (the left-right direction in FIG. 5) in each of the parts that support each part of user A. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the width of the leg support part 101, the width of the hip support part 102, the width of the back support part 103, and the width of the shoulder support part 104 are each the zoning width.

[0044] Before determining the zoning position, spring hardness, zoning width, and type of filling, the determination unit 34 acquires specification determination condition data of a mattress suitable for user A. The specification determination condition data includes the posture data of user A received by the posture data reception unit 33 and a plurality of attributes of user A received by the attribute reception unit 32. Therefore, the determination unit 34 acquires the posture data of user A from the posture data reception unit 33 and a plurality of attributes of user A from the attribute reception unit 32. At this time, only the posture data and a plurality of attributes with the same identification information are used, so that the posture data and attributes of others are not included.

[0045] The determination unit 34 processes the specification determination condition data obtained as described above based on a predetermined algorithm, thereby determining the leg support portion 101, the hip support portion 102, the back support portion 103, and the shoulder support portion 104 in the mattress 100 respectively, determining the width of each of the leg support portion 101, the hip support portion 102, the back support portion 103, and the shoulder support portion 104, and further determining the hardness of the springs disposed in each of the leg support portion 101, the hip support portion 102, the back support portion 103, and the shoulder support portion 104.

[0046] The predetermined algorithm used by the determination unit 34 is an algorithm based on the correlation between the hardness of the springs evaluated as good by the sensory evaluation by a plurality of sampled persons and the positions of the springs, and the postures and attributes of the persons. The group formed by the plurality of persons performing the sensory evaluation includes persons with various heights, weights, body fat percentages, muscle masses, sitting heights, leg lengths, genders, ages, exercise histories, sleeping postures, sleeping hours on holidays, and sleeping hours other than on holidays. Before determining the algorithm, prepare a plurality of mattresses with different zoning positions, spring hardnesses, zoning widths, and types of fillers. The types of mattresses prepared at this time can be 10 types or 20 types or more, but are not particularly limited.

[0047] Then, all the sampled individuals are made to lie on all of the prepared mattresses, and subsequently, each individual is asked to submit the sensory evaluation results of each mattress. During the sensory evaluation, a detailed evaluation of five levels or more (for example, very good, quite good, slightly good, neither good nor bad, slightly bad, quite bad, very bad, etc.) is conducted for the comfort when lying on the back, the overall body fit, and the lumbar fit respectively. Also, a detailed evaluation of five levels or more is conducted for the comfort, the overall body fit, and the lumbar fit when lying on the side. In addition, a detailed evaluation of five levels or more is conducted for the ease of turning over on each of the prepared mattresses. Furthermore, three mattresses that the individual likes (mattresses with good comfort) and three mattresses that the individual dislikes (mattresses with poor comfort) are selected from the prepared mattresses. In this way, the tendencies of the mattresses preferred by each person and the tendencies of the mattresses not preferred are tabulated as sensory evaluation results, and the correlation between the spring hardness and the position of the spring, and the posture and attributes of the person is derived.

[0048] For example, after tabulating the sensory evaluation, the correlation between the spring hardness and the position of the spring evaluated as good in the sensory evaluation, and the posture and attributes of the person who evaluated it as good is obtained. For example, when the hardness of the springs arranged in each of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104 is at what level, what kind of posture of the person will prefer the mattress, or what kind of attributes of the person will prefer the mattress, such a correlation can be obtained. Also, when the hardness of the springs arranged in each of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104, or the difference in the hardness of the springs in each part is at what level, what kind of posture of the person will prefer the mattress, or what kind of attributes of the person will prefer the mattress, such a correlation can also be obtained. When obtaining the correlation, the relationship between the ease of turning over, the hardness of each part of the mattress, and the posture of the evaluated person can be obtained, and also the relationship between the ease of turning over, the hardness of each part of the mattress, and the attributes of the evaluated person can be obtained. In this way, many correlations can be obtained from various viewpoints.

[0049] When the determination unit 34 determines the zoning position, the height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, muscle mass, sitting height, leg length, gender, age, exercise history, sleeping posture, sleep time on holidays, and sleep time other than on holidays of the user A, and the posture data of the user A are used as specification determination condition data. The BMI (Body Mass Index) is automatically calculated based on the height and weight. Among the specification determination condition data used when determining the zoning position, weighting is performed so that gender, BMI, sleeping posture, and posture data are emphasized and other attributes are not emphasized. For example, the coefficients multiplied by gender, BMI, sleeping posture, and posture data are set larger than the coefficients multiplied by other attributes. As a result, the zoning position is determined with emphasis on gender, BMI, sleeping posture, and posture data. For example, based on the height, the approximate positions of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104 can be roughly determined, and further, based on the weight, BMI, etc., the positions of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104 can be specifically specified. At this time, by considering gender, the positions of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104 can be determined by reflecting the physical differences between men and women. Furthermore, by considering the sleeping posture, the positions of the leg support part 101, hip support part 102, back support part 103, and shoulder support part 104 can be determined by reflecting the actual sleeping posture.

[0050] When the determination unit 34 determines the hardness of the springs arranged at each zoning position, the attributes of user A such as gender, height, weight, BMI, age, sleeping posture, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, etc., and the posture data of user A are used as specification determination condition data. Among the specification determination condition data used when determining the hardness of the springs arranged at each zoning position, gender, weight, BMI, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, and posture data are emphasized, and the other attributes are weighted so as not to be emphasized. For example, the coefficients multiplied by gender, weight, BMI, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, and posture data are set to be larger than the coefficients multiplied by the other attributes. Thereby, the hardness of the springs arranged at each zoning position is determined with emphasis on gender, BMI, sleeping posture, and posture data. For example, the hardness of the springs arranged at each zoning position can be determined according to weight and BMI. Also, by considering gender, the hardness of the springs arranged at each zoning position can be determined while reflecting the physical differences between men and women.

[0051] When the determination unit 34 determines the type of stuffing, the attributes of user A such as gender, height, weight, BMI, age, sleeping posture, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, etc., and the posture data of user A are used as specification determination condition data. Among the specification determination condition data used when determining the type of stuffing, BMI and posture data are emphasized, and the other attributes are weighted so as not to be emphasized. For example, the coefficients multiplied by BMI and posture data are set to be larger than the coefficients multiplied by the other attributes. Thereby, the type of stuffing is determined with emphasis on BMI and posture data.

[0052] When the determination unit 34 determines the zoning width, the attributes of user A such as gender, height, weight, BMI, age, sleeping posture, sleep time on holidays, sleep time other than holidays, etc. are used as specification determination condition data. Thereby, for example, the zoning width is obtained by considering physical build, gender, age, sleeping posture, sleep time, etc.

[0053] After determining the zoning position, spring hardness, zoning width, and type of stuffing, the determination unit 34 stores the determined zoning position, spring hardness, zoning width, and type of stuffing in the data storage unit 36 in a state associated with the identification number as mattress data. The mattress data stored in the data storage unit 36 is transmitted from the server-side transceiver unit 31 to the terminal-side transceiver unit 25. The operation terminal 20 inputs the received mattress data into the calculation unit 23. The calculation unit 23 generates a mattress data display screen 200 as shown in FIG. 6 using the mattress data and causes the display unit 21 to display it. On the mattress data display screen 200, there are provided a plan view display area 201 where a spring layout diagram of a mattress suitable for user A is displayed, and a cross-sectional view display area 202 where a cross-sectional view of a mattress suitable for user A is displayed. In the plan view display area 201 of FIG. 6, black squares indicate the hardest springs, and white squares indicate the softest springs. Gray squares indicate springs of intermediate hardness, and among them, dark gray indicates harder springs and light gray indicates softer springs. In this way, the hardness of the springs can be displayed by the shade of color. Note that the display form is not limited to display by color, and may be a display form using numbers, characters, symbols, etc. indicating hardness. For example, it may be a display form in which the wire diameter of the wire forming the spring is described within the square.

[0054] In the plan view display area 201 of FIG. 6, black squares indicate the hardest springs, and white squares indicate the softest springs. Gray squares indicate springs of intermediate hardness, and among them, dark gray indicates harder springs and light gray indicates softer springs. In this way, the hardness of the springs can be displayed by the shade of color. Note that the display form is not limited to display by color, and may be a display form using numbers, characters, symbols, etc. indicating hardness. For example, it may be a display form in which the wire diameter of the wire forming the spring is described within the square.

[0055] By looking at the mattress displayed in the plan view display area 201, the zoning position, spring hardness, and zoning width can be grasped. That is, the leg support portion 101, hip support portion 102, back support portion 103, and shoulder support portion 104 determined by the determination unit 34, the widths of the respective portions 101 to 104, and information regarding the hardness of the springs disposed in the respective portions 101 to 104 can be displayed on the display unit 21.

[0056] On the mattress data display screen 200, a type display area 203 for displaying the type of filling is provided. In the type display area 203, the type of filling determined by the determination unit 34 is displayed by its name.

[0057] On the mattress data display screen 200, a spring arrangement adjustment button 204 is provided. When the operation unit 22 detects that the spring arrangement adjustment button 204 has been operated, the calculation unit 23 generates an adjustment screen 300 as shown in FIG. 7 and causes it to be displayed on the display unit 21. On the adjustment screen 300, an array selection area 301 for selecting the arrangement of the springs, a hardness selection area 302, a waist position selection area 303, a waist width selection area 304, and an overall length selection area 305 are provided. In the array selection area 301, the spring arrangement can be selected from the parallel arrangement shown in FIG. 7 and the alternating arrangement shown in FIG. 8. When the operation unit 22 detects that the parallel arrangement has been selected by the administrator or user A, as shown in FIG. 7, the calculation unit 23 causes a diagram in which the springs are arranged in parallel to be displayed in the plan view display area 310 of the adjustment screen 300. On the other hand, when the operation unit 22 detects that the alternating arrangement has been selected by the administrator or user A, as shown in FIG. 8, the calculation unit 23 causes a diagram in which the springs are arranged alternately to be displayed in the plan view display area 310 of the adjustment screen 300. In this way, the difference in the arrangement of the springs can also be displayed on the display unit 21. Note that the parallel arrangement is a form in which the springs are linearly arranged in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the mattress in a plan view. The alternating arrangement is a form in which the springs are arranged in a staggered grid pattern in a plan view. The selected arrangement is reflected in the mattress data provided to the user A.

[0058] In the hardness selection area 302, the overall hardness of the springs arranged on the mattress can be selected from, for example, firm, normal, and soft. When firm is selected, the calculation unit 23 makes the springs arranged on the mattress harder than the hardness determined by the determination unit 34. When normal is selected, the calculation unit 23 makes the springs arranged on the mattress the same hardness as that determined by the determination unit 34. When soft is selected, the calculation unit 23 makes the springs arranged on the mattress softer than the hardness determined by the determination unit 34. In this way, the change in the hardness of the springs displayed on the display unit 21 can be received, and this change in the hardness of the springs is received by the change reception unit 35 shown in FIG. 2. The selected hardness is reflected in the mattress data provided to the user A.

[0059] In the waist position selection area 303, the position of the waist of the user A can be adjusted in the height direction. That is, the springs arranged in the longitudinal direction of the mattress are sequentially numbered starting from 1 from the head side to the foot side (in this embodiment, 1 to 34). When the number corresponding to the position of the waist of the user A is input into the waist position selection area 303, the waist of the user A will be located directly above the springs in the column specified by that number. That is, when the position of the hip support portion 102 determined by the determination unit 34 is offset from the actual position of the hip of the user A, it can be corrected by the number input into the waist position selection area 303. The corrected waist position is reflected in the mattress data provided to the user A, and the zoning position is changed.

[0060] In the waist width selection area 304, the width of the waist of the user A can be adjusted. The waist width input into the waist width selection area 304 can be reflected in the mattress data provided to the user A.

[0061] In the overall length selection area 305, the overall length of the mattress can be selected from a plurality of options. The overall length of the mattress selected in the overall length selection area 305 can be reflected in the mattress data provided to the user A.

[0062] On the adjustment screen 300, a result display area 311 for displaying the selection result of the stuffing type is provided. In this result display area 311, changes to the stuffing type can be accepted.

[0063] It is also possible to have user A try sleeping on it. For example, by using a recombination machine for replacing the springs and replacing them with springs of another hardness so that user A feels comfortable sleeping, it is possible to check the comfort and make fine adjustments to suit the senses of user A.

[0064] On the adjustment screen 300, a temporary save button 312 and a completion button 313 are provided. When the operation unit 22 detects that the temporary save button 312 has been operated, the arithmetic unit 23 transmits the current mattress data to the server-side transceiver 31 via the terminal-side transceiver 25 and executes a save process of storing it in the data storage unit 36. When the operation unit 22 detects that the completion button 313 has been operated, the arithmetic unit 23 generates a result display screen 400 shown in FIG. 9 and causes it to be displayed on the display unit 21. On the result display screen 400, a mattress display area 401 for displaying an image of the mattress based on the mattress data provided to user A, a personal information display area 402 for displaying personal information, and a completion button 403 are provided. In the mattress display area 401, the zoning position, spring hardness, and zoning width finally determined through the adjustment process are displayed, and information such as the stuffing, spring arrangement, and total length of the mattress is also displayed.

[0065] The result display screen 400 can also display the body pressure distribution of user A. That is, although not shown in the figure, a mattress with the specifications displayed in the mattress display area 401 is actually manufactured (prototyped), a pressure detection sheet is laid on it, and user A lies on it. As a result, data regarding the body pressure distribution of user A can be obtained from the pressure detection sheet. The obtained data regarding the body pressure distribution can be stored in the storage unit 24 of the operation terminal 20 or stored in the data storage unit 36 of the server 30. By reading out the data regarding the body pressure distribution with the operation terminal 20 and displaying it on the result display screen 400, the body pressure distribution can also be grasped on the result display screen 400.

[0066] (Flow until the mattress specifications are determined) Figure 10 is a flowchart showing the flow until the mattress specifications are determined. In step SA1 after starting, user A is asked to input their personal information using the operation terminal 20. Step SA1 is the personal information input process. In step SA2, the standing posture of user A is measured by the standing posture measuring device 10. Step SA2 is the posture measurement process. Step SA1 and step SA2 can be in either order.

[0067] In step SA3, among the personal information input in step SA1, the attributes of user A are uploaded to the server 30, and the posture data of user A is uploaded to the server 30. The uploaded attributes of user A are received by the attribute reception unit 32, and the posture data of user A is received by the posture data reception unit 33. This is the data reception process.

[0068] In step SA4, the determination unit 34 of the server 30 executes a zoning position determination process for determining the zoning position. In step SA5, the determination unit 34 executes a spring hardness determination process for determining the hardness of the spring disposed at the portion that supports each part of the user A. In step SA6, the determination unit 34 executes a stuffing type determination process for determining the type of stuffing. In step SA7, the determination unit 34 executes a zoning width determination process for determining the zoning width. The order of steps SA5, SA6, and SA7 may be any order.

[0069] In step SA8, the server 30 transmits the mattress data of the specifications tentatively determined through steps SA4 to SA7 to the operation terminal 20. This is a transmission (upload) process. In step SA9, an image of the mattress based on the mattress data is displayed on the display unit 21. This is a display process or a presentation process. At this point, the user A can confirm the specifications of the mattress suitable for himself / herself.

[0070] In step SA10, a process of trying out the mattress and adjusting the hardness of the mattress, etc. is executed. When this process is executed, an image of the mattress with the adjusted specifications is displayed on the display unit 21, so that the specifications of the mattress can be finally confirmed. If there are no problems, this flow ends and the specifications of the mattress are finally determined.

[0071] In step SA11, the user is asked to try out the mattress with the finally determined specifications, and the body pressure distribution is measured. In step SA12, the data of the body pressure distribution, the mattress data, the posture data, the personal information, etc. are stored in the server 30 in a state where they are associated with each other. The data stored in the server 30 will be used in the future when determining the specifications of the mattress.

[0072] When manufacturing an actual mattress based on the determined mattress data of the specifications, the mattress data is transmitted to the manufacturing site in step SA13. At the manufacturing site, based on the received mattress data, the determined springs are arranged as determined, and the determined type of filling is filled and covered with the side material, so that a mattress based on the mattress data can be obtained.

[0073] (Mattress manufacturing equipment for trial sleeping) When user A takes a trial sleep in step SA10, step SA11, etc., a mattress manufacturing equipment (hereinafter referred to as manufacturing equipment) 40 as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is used. The manufacturing equipment 40 is an equipment used when prototyping a mattress provided by the mattress providing system 1 before manufacturing it at an actual manufacturing site, and can also be called a manufacturing jig, for example.

[0074] That is, by using the mattress providing system 1, a mattress suitable for user A can be provided. However, the mattress provided by the mattress providing system 1 is not necessarily comfortable for user A. There may be a sense of discomfort when actually sleeping, a desire to make some parts harder, or a desire to make some parts softer. In this embodiment, a mattress is prototyped based on the mattress data provided by the mattress providing system 1, and by actually sleeping on the prototyped mattress, the zoning position, spring hardness, zoning width, type of filling, etc. can be changed, and the specifications of the mattress that user A feels comfortable can be finally determined. After changing, for example, the springs of the mattress manufactured by the manufacturing equipment 40, the changed mattress can be manufactured by the manufacturing equipment 40 and the trial sleep can be done again to confirm. By repeating this, the specifications of a mattress more suitable for user A can be determined.

[0075] The production device 40 is made to have substantially the same shape and size as the mattress actually sold, and is prepared for each size of the trial-sleeping mattress, such as for single size, semi-double size, double size, queen size, king size, etc. Incidentally, the production device 40 may be of only one size without being prepared for each size. Also, a long-size production device 40 may be prepared.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 13, inside the production device 40, a plurality of springs (trial-sleeping springs) 50 that support the body are arranged so as to be arranged vertically and horizontally. The spring 50 is a pocket coil housed in a bag such as a non-woven fabric, and is arranged so that the expansion and contraction direction is the vertical direction, similar to a normal mattress.

[0077] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the production device 40 includes a bottom plate member 41, a frame member 42, a partition portion 43, and a cushion material 44. The bottom plate member 41, the frame member 42, and the partition portion 43 are made of, for example, wood or the like. The bottom plate member 41 constitutes the bottom of the trial-sleeping mattress and is a member that supports a plurality of springs 50 arranged vertically and horizontally from below. The bottom plate member 41 has, for example, the same strength and rigidity as a bed frame and is installed in a substantially horizontal posture. The outer shape of the bottom plate member 41 is a shape close to a rectangle that substantially matches the outer shape of the mattress actually sold. The dimension in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the bottom plate member 41 can be set to be longer than the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the mattress actually sold, but may be about the same as the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the mattress actually sold. Also, the dimension in the short-side direction (lateral direction) of the bottom plate member 41 is about the same as the dimension in the width direction of the mattress actually sold. By using the production device 40, it becomes possible to produce a trial-sleeping mattress having substantially the same shape as the mattress actually sold.

[0078] The frame member 42 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate member 41 and is a member for defining a region where a plurality of springs 50 arranged vertically and horizontally are disposed. Specifically, the vertical dimension of the frame member 42 is set shorter than the vertical dimension of the bottom plate member 41, and the horizontal dimension of the frame member 42 is set shorter than the horizontal dimension of the bottom plate member 41. The portion of the frame member 42 extending in the vertical direction extends linearly in the same manner as the edge portion (vertical edge portion) extending in the vertical direction of the bottom plate member 41 and is located inside the vertical edge portion of the bottom plate member 41. The portion of the frame member 42 extending in the horizontal direction extends linearly in the same manner as the edge portion (horizontal edge portion) extending in the horizontal direction of the bottom plate member 41 and is located inside the horizontal edge portion of the bottom plate member 41. Therefore, the peripheral portion including the vertical and horizontal edge portions of the bottom plate member 41 is positioned so as to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the frame member 42.

[0079] The vertical dimension of the frame member 42 is set lower than the vertical dimension of the spring 50 in a state where the body is supported. As a result, when the user A lies on the trial sleep mattress, the upper end portion of the spring 50 does not drop to the same height as the upper surface of the frame member 42.

[0080] The partition portion 43 extends in the horizontal direction of the trial sleep mattress inside the frame member 42, and a plurality of partition portions 43 are provided at intervals in the vertical direction of the trial sleep mattress. In the present embodiment, the partition portion 43 extends linearly in the horizontal direction of the trial sleep mattress and has a plate shape extending also in the vertical direction. The upper end portion of the partition portion 43 is set to the same height as the upper surface of the frame member 42 or a position lower than the upper surface of the frame member 42. The left end portion of the partition portion 43 is fixed in contact with the inner surface on the left side of the frame member 42, and the right end portion of the partition portion 43 is fixed in contact with the inner surface on the right side of the frame member 42. Further, the lower end portion of the partition portion 43 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom plate member 41.

[0081] The intervals between the plurality of partition portions 43 are set to correspond to the outer diameter of the spring 50. A spring arrangement space 51 is formed between the partition portions 43 adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the trial sleep mattress, in which a plurality of springs 50 arranged in the lateral direction of the trial sleep mattress are disposed. The spring arrangement space 51 is a continuous space extending from the inner surface on the left side to the inner surface on the right side of the frame member 42, and is open upward so that the spring 50 can be inserted from above. Further, the interval between the partition portions 43 adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the trial sleep mattress is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the spring 50 or slightly wider than the outer diameter of the spring 50 so that the lower portion of the spring 50 can be inserted. Even if the interval between the adjacent partition portions 43 is equal to the outer diameter of the spring 50, the spring 50 can be inserted into the spring arrangement space 51 due to the elastic deformation of the spring 50.

[0082] The number of spring arrangement spaces 51 is set to be the same as the number of springs arranged in the longitudinal direction displayed in the plan view display area 310 of the adjustment screen 300. Thereby, the number of springs provided by the mattress providing system 1 can be made the same as the number of springs of the trial sleep mattress.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the cushioning material 44 is provided in an annular shape surrounding the outside of the frame member 42. That is, the cushioning material 44 is arranged so as to cover the outer surface of the portion of the frame member 42 extending in the longitudinal direction and the outer surface of the portion extending in the lateral direction. The lower surface of the cushioning material 44 is supported from below by the portion protruding outward from the frame member 42 in the bottom plate member 41. The cushioning material 44 is made of a member softer than the frame member 42 and is formed so as to protrude above the frame member 42. Examples of the material of the cushioning material 44 include foamed materials having elasticity such as urethane foam. By providing the cushioning material 44 protruding above the frame member 42, the user A can be prevented from feeling the hardness of the frame member 42 when sleeping on the trial sleep mattress.

[0084] On the inner surface of the longitudinally extending portion of the cushion material 44, a recess 44a into which the spring 50 is fitted is formed. Since a plurality of springs 50 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the trial sleep mattress, a plurality of recesses 44a are formed corresponding to the number of springs 50. Each recess 44a is located above the frame member 42 and between partition portions 43 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the trial sleep mattress in plan view. As a result, the upper portion of the spring 50 placed in the spring arrangement space 51 is held in a state of being fitted into the recess 44a, so that the spring 50 is stabilized. The shape of the recess 44a is not particularly limited, but it can be a shape having an arcuate inner surface along the outer peripheral surface of the spring 50.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 12, the manufacturing tool 40 further includes a covering member 45 that covers a plurality of springs 50 arranged in the spring arrangement space 51 from above, and a hook-and-loop fastener (first fixing member) 46 that detachably fixes the peripheral edge portion of the covering member 45 to the cushion material 44. The covering member 45 has an outer shape larger than the outer shape of the frame member 42 so that it can also cover the entire upper surface of the cushion material 44 at the same time. Specifically, the outer shape of the covering member 45 and the outer shape of the cushion material 44 are set to be substantially the same. The covering member 45 is made of, for example, a cloth material or the like, and is made of a material that hardly stretches even when a force is applied.

[0086] The hook-and-loop fastener 46 is provided on both the longitudinally extending edge portion and the laterally extending edge portion of the covering member 45. As the hook-and-loop fastener 46, a conventionally well-known one can be used, and it is fixed by pressing against the outer surface of the cushion material 44. That is, the cushion material 44 is made of a material to which the hook-and-loop fastener 46 can be fixed. Incidentally, a material to which the hook-and-loop fastener 46 can be engaged may be provided at the portion of the cushion material 44 where the hook-and-loop fastener 46 is fixed.

[0087] By providing surface fasteners 46 on the four sides of the covering member 45 respectively, the four sides of the covering member 45 can be fixed to the four sides of the cushioning material 44. Since the covering member 45 hardly stretches when fixed to the cushioning material 44, the shape of the cushioning material 44 can be held by the covering member 45 so that the cushioning material 44 does not lose its shape. Incidentally, when removing the covering member 45 from the cushioning material 44, the surface fastener 46 can be removed from the outer surface of the cushioning material 44. Instead of the surface fastener 46, for example, a first fixing member such as a button or a zipper (fastener) may be used to fix the covering member 45 to the cushioning material 44.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 11, on the upper surface of the covering member 45, a filling 47 made of, for example, cotton or urethane foam is disposed. In FIG. 11, since the state during the attachment of the filling 47 is shown, the filling 47 is curved, but after attachment, it will be in a shape along the upper surface of the covering member 45. There are a plurality of types and thicknesses of the filling 47, which are selected according to the user A. The manufacturing instrument 40 further includes a zipper (second fixing member) 48 for detachably fixing the filling 47 to the cushioning material 44. That is, a cover 49 that surrounds the cushioning material 44 over the entire circumference is attached to the outer surface of the cushioning material 44, and on the upper edge portion of this cover 49, one small piece 48a constituting the zipper 48 is provided over the entire circumference by a cloth tape or the like. The other small piece 48b constituting the zipper 48 is provided over the entire circumference on the peripheral edge portion of the filling 47 by a cloth tape or the like. By meshing the small piece 48a of the cover 49 with the small piece 48b of the filling 47, the filling 47 can be fixed to the cover 49, that is, to the cushioning material 44. When removing the filling 47, the zipper 48 may be operated in the opposite direction.

[0089] When manufacturing a trial-use mattress using the manufacturing apparatus 40, first, as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of springs 50 are inserted from above between the partition portions 43, that is, into the spring arrangement space 51. At this time, for example, while looking at the wire diameter of the spring displayed in the plan view display area 310 of the adjustment screen 300 shown in FIG. 7, the springs 50 having the wire diameter displayed in the plan view display area 310 are inserted into each spring arrangement space 51. Thereby, the springs 50 can be arranged in the same manner as the mattress data provided by the mattress providing system 1.

[0090] Here, in the case of pocket coils, after the spring 50 is accommodated in a long bag, the welding margin is welded and then the next spring 50 is accommodated repeatedly, thereby forming a row of bags in which a plurality of springs 50 are arranged at intervals. In an actually sold mattress, the pocket coils are arranged so that the arrangement direction of the springs 50 in the row of bags coincides with the longitudinal direction of the mattress. Therefore, a gap is formed between the springs 50 adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the mattress by the dimension of the welding margin.

[0091] On the other hand, in the case of a trial-use mattress, the row of springs 50 in the row of bags is inserted into the spring arrangement space 51 with the arrangement direction of the row of springs 50 being the lateral direction of the trial-use mattress. For this reason, although the arrangement direction of the row of bags is different from that of an actually sold mattress, when looking at the longitudinal direction of the trial-use mattress, since the partition portion 43 is arranged between the springs 50, a gap is formed between the springs 50 adjacent in the longitudinal direction in the same manner as in an actually sold mattress. Therefore, even in a trial-use mattress in which the rows of bags are arranged horizontally, a sleeping comfort similar to that of a sales-use mattress in which the rows of bags are arranged vertically can be obtained.

[0092] Thereafter, the covering member 45 is fixed to the cushioning material 44. Next, the filling 47 is fixed to the cushioning material 44. In this way, a trial-use mattress with specifications suitable for the user A is obtained.

[0093] (Function and Effect of Embodiment) As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the mattress providing system 1 determines the specifications of the mattress suitable for the user A, the hardness of the springs 50 arranged in each zone such as the leg support part, hip support part, back support part, and shoulder support part of the user A can be determined by a predetermined algorithm. After preparing a plurality of types of springs with different hardnesses as the springs for realizing the specifications, the springs are placed in the spring arrangement space 51 between adjacent partition parts 43 so as to realize the specifications, whereby a trial sleep mattress in which springs 50 with different hardnesses are arranged for each zone can be obtained. Since the spring arrangement space 51 is formed in advance inside the frame member 42, the person manufacturing the trial sleep mattress can immediately understand where to arrange the spring 50, and it becomes possible to proceed with the work while holding a plurality of springs 50 in the spring arrangement space 51 for each row. Thus, the work of manufacturing the trial sleep mattress can be easily and quickly performed.

[0094] The above-described embodiment is merely illustrative in all respects and should not be construed in a limiting sense. Further, all modifications and changes belonging to the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.
