【0017】 従来技術と比較して、本発明の上記の技術的解決策は以下の有益な効果を有する。 本発明に記載の掛け布団フィット度の定量化方法は、掛け布団の内部の空気層を接触式で測定することが困難であるという難題を十分に考慮して、非接触測定方法を採用して3次元点群測定データを取得し、関連する測定データに基づいて、対応する体積計算を行うことで、掛け布団フィット度を定量化する。これにより、布団下の空気層を明確に計算できないという難題の解決手段を提供し、掛け布団フィット度に関する研究のギャップを補い、掛け布団に関連する分野における研究の幅と深さを拡大する。 また、本発明では、掛け布団フィット度を計算した後、掛け布団の充填量とフィット度との間の関係、および掛け布団フィット度と総熱抵抗との間の関係をフィッティングすることができ、掛け布団フィット度を定量化することで、フィット度と掛け布団総熱抵抗との関係を確立することができる。本発明では、掛け布団フィット度と総熱抵抗を構築する際にサーマルマネキンを使用するだけで済む。その後は、関係式を利用して、直接掛け布団フィット度に基づいて掛け布団総熱抵抗を取得することができる。これにより、サーマルマネキンの使用頻度を低減し、且つサーマルマネキンを使用せずに掛け布団の熱的快適性を研究することを可能にし、掛け布団総熱抵抗の測定ロジックを簡素化し、測定コストを削減する。

Abstract

This invention provides a method for quantifying comforter fit, bridging the gap in methods for calculating comforter fit. [Solution] This method includes the steps of: S101, placing the comforter to be measured on a nude mannequin and obtaining the volume of the nude mannequin and the volume of the mannequin with the comforter on it; S103, measuring the height of the point furthest from the mattress on the nude mannequin and determining it as the highest point when the mannequin is lying supine; S104, calculating the volume of the initial air layer under the comforter; S105, obtaining the thickness, length, and width of the comforter to be measured and calculating the volume of the comforter to be measured; S106, subtracting the volume of the nude mannequin and the volume of the comforter itself from the volume of the mannequin with the comforter on it to obtain the actual air layer volume; and S107, determining the comforter fit of the comforter to be measured as the ratio of the difference between the initial air layer volume under the comforter and the actual air layer volume to the volume of the initial air layer under the comforter.
