Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of mattress technology, and in particular, to a satin air mattress and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background Art
[0002] As people's quality of life gradually improves, camping has gradually become a fashionable leisure activity. As a stable, light and easy-to-store mattress, air mattresses are widely used in places with high storage requirements such as outdoor camping. Air mattresses not only provide sufficient support, but can also be stored in a bag when not in use, improving space utilization. With high space utilization, they can be used not only for outdoor camping. Conventional air mattresses on the market are usually composed of members such as an upper sheet and a lower sheet. The sheets are welded and connected to form a chamber, and an air filling hole is opened in the side gusset on the side, so that gas can be filled inside to provide sufficient support.
[0003] However, in the air mattress shown in FIG. 1, due to certain limitations in conventional processing, the outer periphery of the mattress protrudes outward and the cross-section is elliptical. In order to improve the aesthetics, usually, after processing, a chamber 6 connected to the inner cavity of the mattress remains at the connection between the side gusset 3 and the surface layer 2. Although the normal storage of the air mattress can be completed, because the chamber 6 remains at the connection, the support on the circumferential side of the air mattress is low during use. As a result, when the user approaches the circumferential side of the mattress during use, the low support causes the user to fall, affecting the user experience.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0008] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0009] The embodiments of the present application provide a satin air mattress. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper and lower surfaces of the satin body 1 are covered with surface layers 2, and a connecting band 4 including a bonding band 4a and a reinforcing band 4b is provided at the outer edge of the surface layer 2. Here, the bonding band 4a is located below the surface layer 2, the reinforcing band 4b is located above the bonding band 4a, and a side gusset 3 is further provided on the circumferential side of the satin body 1. Both ends of the side gusset 3 can be overlapped with the bonding band 4a and welded and connected. The reinforcing band 4b is located at the position where the bonding band 4a and the side gusset 3 overlap. As an alternative, the bonding band 4a is located above the surface layer 2. As an alternative, the bonding band 4a is made a part of the surface layer 2.
[0010] As shown in FIG. 3, an air nozzle 3a1 and air holes 3a are provided in the side gusset 3 of the satin air mattress, and a removable air pump 5 is provided on the inner side of the satin air mattress. Both ends of the side gusset 3 are connected to either of the surface layers 2 which are the upper and lower surfaces of the satin body 1 via the bonding band 4a and the reinforcing band 4b. Here, one end of the bonding band 4a is welded and connected to the surface layer 2 to form an inner indentation 4c, and the other end is overlapped with one end of the side gusset 3 and adhesively connected. The reinforcing band 4b covers the overlapping position of the side gusset 3 and the bonding band 4a, so that the end of the side gusset 3 is sandwiched between the bonding band 4a and the reinforcing band 4b and welded and connected by high-frequency welding equipment. Here, one end of the reinforcing band 4b is welded and connected to the bonding band 4a to form an outer indentation 4d. Here, the reinforcing band 4b and the bonding band 4a are formed by welding a PVC material and a fabric for PVC bonding.
[0011] To summarize the above, the main operating principle of the present application is as follows. By cooperating the air pump 5 inside the satin air mattress and the air nozzle 3a1 on the side gusset 3 to let air into the satin air mattress, the internal air pressure is increased to improve the supportability of the air mattress. During air filling, the distance between the two surface layers 2 continues to increase. Also, the two surface layers 2 are both connected via the connecting strip 4 and the side gusset 3. Here, the inner wall at one end of the side gusset 3 is connected to the bonding strip 4a, and one end of the bonding strip 4a is welded and connected to the surface layer 2 by a high-frequency welding device to form an inner indentation 4c. Therefore, both ends of the side gusset 3 are pulled to both sides under the influence of the surface layer 2 so that the inner wall of the side gusset 3 approaches the side wall of the satin main body 1. To strengthen the connection strength between the side gusset 3 and the bonding strip 4a, a reinforcing strip 4b is covered on the overlapping part of the side gusset 3 and the bonding strip 4a, and the reinforcing strip 4b and the bonding strip 4a are welded and connected to form an outer indentation 4d. The side gusset 3 is connected to the surface layer 2 so as to be sandwiched between the bonding strip 4a and the reinforcing strip 4b, thereby ensuring that the side gusset 3 is tightly connected and no leakage occurs. During air filling, the side gusset 3 is pulled at both ends to gradually approach the satin main body 1, avoiding the middle position of the side gusset 3 protruding outward and improving the aesthetics. And in this embodiment, compared with the case where the outer periphery in FIG. 1 protrudes to form an elliptical shape and chambers 6 are provided above and below the protrusion respectively, the process is simpler, and when the area is the same, it supports and covers a larger area, and can avoid falling due to insufficient support on the side, improving the user experience. In the storage process after use, because the structure is simple, the side gusset 3 only protrudes outward and is folded, so the thickness of the edge during folding is lower, making it easy for the user to fold and store.
[0012] Also, the surface layer 2 and the bonding band 4a are welded and connected to form an inner indentation 4c, ensuring the strength of the welded connection and avoiding gas leakage or detachment due to welding leakage caused by foreign substances on the surface. The reinforcing band 4b and the bonding band 4a are welded and connected by a high-frequency welding device to form an outer indentation 4d. By sequentially welding and connecting the bonding band 4a and the reinforcing band 4b to the surface layer 2, insufficient welding caused by overlapping and welding the reinforcing band 4b and the bonding band 4a is avoided, and the stability of welding is improved.
[0013] The satin air mattress provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art.
[0014] 1. This solution mainly includes a satin body, a surface layer surrounding the outside of the satin body, and side gussets. The surface layer is connected to the side gussets through a connection band composed of a bonding band and a reinforcing band. Thereby, after the air filling is completed, both ends of the side gussets receive a tensile force outward, avoiding the outer periphery of the mattress protruding outward, improving the aesthetics, and making the support of the air mattress more comprehensive, thereby improving the user experience.
[0015] 2. In this solution, an air pump is built into the air mattress, and an air nozzle with a vent hole is attached to the side gusset, thereby improving the portability of the air mattress during use.
[0016] This application further provides a manufacturing method of the satin air mattress, which can be used to manufacture the satin air mattress provided in the above embodiments.
[0017] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, this satin mattress includes a first surface layer 21, a second surface layer 22, and a satin main body 1 connected to the support surfaces of the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22. The first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 are further connected via side gussets 3 located on the side portions of the satin main body 1. Here, reinforcing bands 4b are provided at both ends of the side gussets 3. One end of the reinforcing band 4b is welded to the surface layer 2 by high-frequency equipment to form an outer indentation 4d, and the other end is welded to the outside of both ends of the side gussets 3 respectively. An air nozzle 3a1 and an air pump 5 are attached to the middle part of the side gussets 3. Here, the first surface layer 21, the second surface layer 22, and the satin main body 1 are welded to form an inner indentation 8.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 6, after the pre-treatments such as drawing lines and cutting on the satin main body 1, the first surface layer 21, the second surface layer 22, and the reinforcing band 4b of this satin mattress are completed, the processing steps to be performed mainly include Welding and connecting the outer edges of the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 to the reinforcing band 4b respectively, trimming and controlling the corresponding dimensions of the reinforcing band 4b, then placing it on the workbench to inspect whether there is pressure leakage or a phenomenon that a certain place is folded, placing unqualified products in the defective product area, and then further processing the qualified products S1; Removing the welded first surface layer 21 and second surface layer 22 from the workbench, placing the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 flat, and then welding and connecting the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 to the satin main body 1 by high-frequency welding equipment to form an inner indentation 8 on both the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 to form a mattress body. Then, placing it on the workbench, after cutting and controlling the dimensions of the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22, preparing for the next step S2; Removing the mattress body from the workbench, and welding and connecting one side of the cut first surface layer 21 to the outside of the upper end of the side gusset 3 via the reinforcing band 4b, and directly welding and connecting the other side to the inside of the upper end of the side gusset 3 S3; Weld and connect the outer side of the lower end of the side gusset 3 and the reinforcing strip 4b located on the second surface layer 22, directly weld and connect the inner side of the lower end of the side gusset 3 and the second surface layer 22. After the welding is completed, place the finished product on the workbench, S4; Place the finished product on the workbench, inspect whether there are appearance defects, place those with appearance defects in the defective product area. For the non-defective products, after cutting off the surplus edges, take samples and send them for inspection. After the inspection is completed, perform packaging, S5.
[0019] Here, before welding and connecting the side gusset 3 and the mattress body, draw a line on the pre-cut side gusset 3, open holes for installing the holes of the air nozzle 3a1 and the air pump 5 according to the drawn line, and obtain the dimensional lines of the overlapping parts when welding and connecting the reinforcing strip 4b with the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22, which makes it easier to weld and connect the first surface layer 21, the second surface layer 22 and the reinforcing strip 4b in the later stage. After opening the holes, use equipment to push the air nozzle 3a1 into the side gusset 3, position the side with the pulling ring 3a2 of the air nozzle 3a1 on the outside of the side gusset 3, then place it on the workbench, arrange the sides with the pulling rings 3a2 one by one facing outward, and finally use a mold to push the air pump 5 into the air pump hole 5b of the side gusset 3.
[0020] Here, in accordance with the method of first welding inside the reinforcing strip 4b of the first surface layer 21, then welding outside the first surface layer 21, then welding outside the second surface layer 22, and finally welding inside the reinforcing strip 4b of the second surface layer 22, weld and connect the mattress body of this satin mattress and the side gusset 3 from top to bottom along the height direction of the satin mattress by a high-frequency welding device, which is easy to process and improves production efficiency. And by the method of first welding the reinforcing strip 4b and then welding and connecting it to the satin body 1, when the reinforcing strip 4b is fixed to the satin body 1 after welding, the positioning of the first surface layer 21 and the second surface layer 22 can be carried out more easily, reducing the risk of defective products caused by displacement, and improving the production efficiency while ensuring that the satin mattress has sufficient support.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the manufacturing method of the satin air mattress provided in the present application has the following advantages.
[0022] 1. In this solution, through the direct welding connection between the surface layer, the reinforcing strip and the side gusset, during the air filling of the air mattress, the side gusset is gradually pulled so that it can be attached to the side of the satin body as much as possible. This increases the support surface, enables the mattress to receive a uniform force, and ensures that both ends of the side gusset are welded to the satin body from top to bottom. After welding, it is cut to avoid the problem that the material is too long and affects the use and aesthetics. This directly connects the side gusset and the surface layer, improves the connection strength with the reinforcing strip, simplifies the structure, transfers the processed surface layer on the workbench, welds the side gusset and the mattress body from top to bottom, improves the processing efficiency, and trims while adjusting on the workbench, thereby improving the yield of the air mattress.
[0023] 2. In this solution, the first surface layer and the second surface layer are respectively welded and connected to the reinforcing strip and the satin body. Inner indentations and outer indentations are formed at the connection points to ensure the connection strength. By checking whether there are break points and relative positions in the indentations, the presence or absence of pressure leakage and the possibility of incorrect welding are judged, thereby improving the yield of the product.
[0024] The specific embodiments described in this specification are only examples to illustrate the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications, supplements, or substitutions in a similar manner to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present application or exceeding the scope defined in the appended claims.
