Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of furniture, and in particular, to a balance cushion for an elastic module, an elastic cushion, and furniture.

Background Art

[0002] Furniture such as beds is an essential component in people's lives. Most large furniture in the prior art is not easy to remove, or it is difficult to restore after being removed. However, with the development of modern life, in order to meet the needs of population movement and outdoor entertainment, in particular, it is necessary to remove and assemble furniture such as beds more and more frequently. During transportation, since it is very difficult to remove and assemble the bed, in order to reduce the burden of transportation, still usable furniture may be discarded.

[0003] A bed generally consists of a bed frame, an elastic cushion, and a cover. The elastic cushion in the prior art is generally an integral and non-removable cushion formed by a plurality of stacked layers and springs. The integral cushion has a large size and is difficult to remove and store.

[0004] Mattresses in the prior art in which the springs are individually packaged are for the purpose of avoiding interference between two or more people sleeping on the bed (for example, when the weight difference between individuals is relatively large, if one turns over or makes a body movement, it is impossible to avoid affecting the other). In such mattresses, each spring is individually packaged in a bag or sleeve made of non-woven fabric or other materials. After the spring bags are arranged, they are covered with a one-piece sponge rubber by adhesion or bonding or the like on the outside of the arranged set of spring bags to form a spring cushion in the form of a furniture cushion or a furniture cushion. However, a mattress in which the springs are individually packaged is still an integrated product, is non-removable, and is difficult to transport. And in a mattress in which the springs are individually packaged, the non-woven fabrics for covering the packaged springs are adhered and related to each other, and when the mattress is pressed, complete vertical independent movement cannot be realized between the plurality of packaged springs, which affects the comfort of the mattress.

[0005] In addition, mattresses in the prior art further have the drawback of being difficult to wash. As an ordinary mattress, usually only the bed cover is removable, but the sponge part is non-removable, so it is difficult to wash. Although latex has a certain mite prevention effect, a single mattress is generally used for several years, and thus the sponge part that is difficult to wash has a great impact on hygiene.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] With respect to at least some of the problems existing in the above prior art, the object of the present invention is that the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0007] To achieve the above object, first, the present invention provides an equilibrium cushion for an elastic module. The equilibrium cushion for the elastic module includes a cushion body including a first cushion side surface facing each other in the thickness direction of the cushion body and a second cushion side surface facing the elastic base, arranged at an interval, and having a plurality of storage holes extending toward the inside of the cushion body. The equilibrium cushion for the elastic module further includes a protective sheet laid and connected on the first cushion side surface. Each of the storage holes is configured to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction of the cushion body by being able to store a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base.

[0008] In this technical solution, a plurality of storage holes are formed in the cushion body of the balance cushion for the elastic module, which are arranged at intervals and extend towards the inside of the cushion body. The protective sheet is laid and connected on the first cushion side surface. Each storage hole is configured to be able to accommodate a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base, so as to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction. Thus, when assembling the balance cushion for the elastic module to form an elastic cushion, it can be laid on an elastic base provided with a plurality of elastic modules, and a part of each elastic module is accommodated in its corresponding storage hole. At this time, due to the limiting effect of the storage holes in the cushion body, the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the cushion body) can be efficiently restrained, so that the inclination of each elastic module caused by the biasing force can be efficiently avoided, and the support stability of each elastic module can be efficiently maintained. Also, the protective sheet can not only well guard the first cushion side surface of the cushion body, but also limit the position of the cushion body in the lateral direction by connecting the cushion body as a whole in the lateral direction, and prevent the tensile displacement of the cushion body in the lateral direction based on the action of the elastic module. Thereby, the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction can be further restrained by the cushion body. Moreover, the protective sheet can perform position limitation on the elastic module and prevent the movement of the elastic module in the axial direction of the storage hole. Therefore, when the balance cushion for the elastic module is laid on the elastic base, it restrains the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage holes penetrate the cushion body in the thickness direction, and the protective sheet covers the plurality of storage holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimension of the storage hole gradually increases in the direction from the first cushion side surface to the second cushion side surface.

[0011] The cushion body is an elastic body, and the protective sheet is a flexible sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic body is a sponge body, and the flexible sheet is a non-woven fabric sheet.

[0013] Furthermore, the balance cushion for the elastic module includes a protective lining. The protective lining is laid and connected on the second cushion side surface, and includes a recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter each of the storage holes. The recessed portion includes a top wall and side walls surrounding the top wall. The side walls are connected in accordance with the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole, the top wall faces the first cushion side surface, and the cushion body is wrapped between the protective sheet and the protective lining.

[0014] Furthermore, the top wall is integrally connected to the protective sheet.

[0015] The protective lining is made of the same material as the protective sheet, and / or the shape of the recessed portion conforms to the shape of the storage hole.

[0016] In order to achieve the above object, secondly, the present invention provides a balance cushion for an elastic module, including a cushion body including a first cushion side surface facing each other in the thickness direction of the cushion body and a second cushion side surface facing the elastic base, spaced apart and having a plurality of storage holes formed extending into the interior of the cushion body, and a protective lining laid and connected on the second cushion side surface and including a recessed portion recessed so as to enter each of the storage holes. The recessed portion includes a top wall and side walls surrounding the top wall. The side walls are connected in accordance with the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole, and the top wall faces the first cushion side surface. Among them, each of the storage holes is configured to be able to accommodate a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base so as to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction of the cushion body.

[0017] In this technical solution, a plurality of storage holes are formed in the cushion body of the balance cushion for the elastic module, which are arranged at intervals and extend towards the inside of the cushion body. The protective lining is laid and connected on the second cushion side of the cushion body, and is recessed so as to enter each storage hole. At the same time, the side wall of the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole in the protective lining is connected to the inner surface of the storage hole. Thus, each storage hole is used to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction by accommodating a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base. In this way, when assembling the balance cushion for the elastic module to form an elastic cushion, it can be laid on an elastic base provided with a plurality of elastic modules. While a part of each elastic module is accommodated in its corresponding storage hole, it contacts the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole in the protective lining. At this time, the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole in the protective lining can prevent the contact between a part of the elastic module and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole, and can well guard the storage hole. At the same time, due to the limiting effect of the storage hole of the cushion body, the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the cushion body) can be efficiently restrained, so that the inclination of each elastic module caused by the biasing force can be efficiently avoided, and the support stability of each elastic module can be efficiently maintained. In addition, the protective lining can not only well guard the second cushion side of the cushion body, but also can limit the position of the cushion body in the lateral direction by connecting the second cushion side and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole in the lateral direction as a whole, and can prevent the tensile displacement of the cushion body in the lateral direction based on the action of the elastic module. Thus, the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction can be further restrained by the cushion body. Further, when a part of the elastic module located in the storage hole contacts the top wall, the top wall can also limit the position of the elastic module and prevent the movement of the elastic module in the axial direction of the storage hole.Therefore, when the balance cushion for the elastic module is laid on the elastic base, it restricts the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0018] Furthermore, the storage hole penetrates the cushion body in the thickness direction, the top wall is installed at the orifice located on the first cushion side surface in the storage hole, and the outer surface of the top wall is flush with the first cushion side surface.

[0019] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimension of the storage hole gradually increases in the direction from the first cushion side surface to the second cushion side surface, and / or the shape of the recessed portion conforms to the shape of the storage hole.

[0020] Furthermore, the cushion body is an elastic body, and the protective lining is a flexible sheet.

[0021] Even further, the elastic body is a sponge body, and the flexible sheet is a non-woven fabric sheet.

[0022] Thirdly, the present invention provides an elastic cushion, the elastic cushion includes an elastic base including a plurality of elastic modules and a balance cushion for the elastic module according to any one of the above first and second points, wherein the balance cushion for the elastic module is laid on the elastic base, and a part of each elastic module is positioned to be received in its corresponding storage hole, wherein the storage hole can restrict the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction.

[0023] Thus, as described in the above first and second points, when the balance cushion for the elastic module is laid on the elastic base, it restrains the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and therefore, the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0024] Furthermore, the elastic module is frustum-shaped and is housed in the storage hole which is a frustum-shaped hole so as to fit the shape.

[0025] In addition, the elastic cushion further includes a cover, and the cover covers the balance cushion for the elastic module and wraps at least a part of the elastic base and the balance cushion for the elastic module.

[0026] In the fourth point, the present invention provides furniture, and the furniture includes the elastic cushion described in any one of the above third points.

[0027] The furniture includes, but is not limited to, a mattress, a sofa, a chair, a sofa bed, a bench, etc.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0029] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, only preferred embodiments according to the present invention are described, and those skilled in the art can conceive of other forms capable of realizing the present invention based on the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, and such other forms also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0030] FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 exemplarily show an equilibrium cushion 10 for an elastic module according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the equilibrium cushion 10 for an elastic module according to the first preferred embodiment provided by the present invention includes a cushion body 3 and a protective sheet 6. Among them, the cushion body 3 includes a first cushion side surface 1 and a second cushion side surface 2 that face each other in the thickness direction of the cushion body. The second cushion side surface 2 faces the elastic base 4. A plurality of storage holes 5 are formed on the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3 at intervals and extend toward the inside of the cushion body. The protective sheet 6 is laid and connected on the first cushion side surface 1. Among them, each storage hole 5 is configured to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction of the cushion body 3 by being able to store a part of the corresponding elastic module 7 in the elastic base 4.

[0031] On the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3 of the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, a plurality of storage holes 5 are formed at intervals and extend toward the inside of the cushion body. The protective sheet 6 is laid and connected on the first cushion side surface. Each storage hole 5 is configured to accommodate a part of the corresponding elastic module 7 in the elastic base 4 to restrain the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction. Thus, when assembling the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module to form the elastic cushion 12, it can be laid on the elastic base 4 provided with a plurality of elastic modules 7, and a part of each elastic module 7 is accommodated in its corresponding storage hole 5. At this time, due to the limiting action of the storage hole 5 of the cushion body 3, the movement of each elastic module 7 in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the cushion body) can be efficiently restrained, so that the inclination of each elastic module 7 due to the biasing force can be efficiently avoided, and the support stability of each elastic module 7 can be efficiently maintained. In addition, the protective sheet 7 can not only well guard the first cushion side surface 1 of the cushion body 3, but also limit the position of the cushion body 3 in the lateral direction by connecting the cushion body 3 as a whole in the lateral direction, preventing the tensile displacement of the cushion body 3 in the lateral direction based on the action of the elastic module 7. Thereby, the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction can be further restrained by the cushion body 3. Also, the protective sheet 6 can limit the position of the elastic module 7 and prevent the movement of the elastic module 7 in the axial direction of the storage hole 5. Therefore, when the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module is laid on the elastic base 4, the movement of each elastic module 7 in the lateral direction is restrained, so that the stability of the elastic cushion 12 when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion 12 has better comfort.

[0032] In addition, the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module may be used for an elastic cushion for manufacturing furniture.

[0033] Also, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the protective sheet 6 may be connected to the first cushion side surface 1 by adhesion, ultrasonic welding, Velcro (registered trademark) connection, or other forms. Further, the protective sheet 6 may be a single layer or a laminated multi-layer.

[0034] Also, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the storage hole 5 may be a countersunk hole, that is, the storage hole 5 extends toward the inside of the cushion body 3 but does not pass through the first cushion side surface 1. At this time, the protective sheet 6 may be connected to the top wall of the countersunk hole so as to improve the strength of the top wall of the hole and prevent the elastic module 7 from moving in the axial direction of the storage hole 5. Alternatively, the storage hole 5 may penetrate the cushion body 3 in the thickness direction, that is, it may extend from the second cushion side surface 2 to the first cushion side surface 1, and the protective sheet 6 covers the plurality of storage holes 5. Thus, the storage hole 5 can store as much as possible a part of the elastic module 7. When a part of the elastic module 7 located in the storage hole 5 contacts the protective sheet 6, the protective sheet 6 can also limit the position of the elastic module 7 and prevent the elastic module 7 from moving in the axial direction of the storage hole 5.

[0035] Also, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 may be the same in the axial direction of the storage hole, that is, it is an equal-diameter hole. In this way, after a part of the elastic module 7 enters the storage hole 5, it can abut against the protective sheet 6. Alternatively, a stopper flange may be formed in the storage hole 5 by changing the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 in the axial direction of the storage hole. In this way, after a part of the elastic module 7 enters the storage hole 5, it can abut against the stopper flange. Alternatively, referring to FIG. 6, the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 gradually increase in the direction from the first cushion side surface 1 to the second cushion side surface 2, thereby forming a frustum-shaped hole. In this way, the dimensions of the cross-section of the frustum-shaped hole gradually decrease in the direction towards the first cushion side surface 1. At this time, the protective sheet 6 closes the small end opening of the frustum-shaped hole. In actual use, after a part of the elastic module 7 enters the storage hole 5, it can abut against the tapered inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5. Optionally, the elastic module 7 may be formed into a frustum so as to adapt to the frustum-shaped hole, and the taper inclination of the frustum may be the same as the taper inclination of the storage hole 5. In this way, a part of the frustum may be frustum-fitted into the frustum-shaped hole so that the shapes fit each other, and a frustum fit is formed between the two. Thereby, a part of the elastic module 7 is arranged in the storage hole 5 more stably and reliably, and the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module can provide more stable and reliable restraint to the elastic module 7. Also, the storage hole 5 may be a square hole, a circular hole, or, for example, a square frustum hole or a circular frustum hole.

[0036] In addition, for the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the cushion body 3 does not necessarily have to have elasticity. For example, it may be a plastic chip. The protective sheet 6 may adopt a plastic sheet having a predetermined thickness, and the plastic sheet may be laid and adhered on the substrate surface on one side of the plastic chip. Alternatively, the cushion body 3 is an elastic body, and the protective sheet 6 is a flexible sheet. In this way, the flexible sheet may be laid and connected on the first cushion side surface 1 of the elastic body by an adhesive or ultrasonic welding. In this way, after the elastic body is laid on the elastic base 4 to form the elastic cushion 12, when the elastic cushion receives pressure, the elastic module 7 is correspondingly compressed to provide support. At this time, since the cushion body 3 is an elastic body and the protective sheet 6 is a flexible sheet, the cushion body 3 is correspondingly elastically deformed to provide buffering. Accordingly, the protective sheet 6 is also deformed correspondingly, whereby the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction can be further restricted, so that the stability of the elastic cushion 12 when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion 12 has better comfort.

[0037] In addition, the elastic body may include multiple types. For example, one type of elastic body may be a silicone gel body, or another type of elastic body may be a sponge body. For example, it is a sponge body with high elasticity. The sponge body is easily molded into a required shape, has a low cost, and has good air permeability. Also, the flexible sheet may include multiple types. For example, one type of flexible sheet may be a plastic sheet having a predetermined thickness. Alternatively, another type of flexible sheet may be a cloth material, such as a canvas or a non-woven fabric sheet. The non-woven fabric sheet enables the balance cushion for the elastic module to have good moisture prevention and ventilation performance. At the same time, the non-woven fabric sheet makes the flexibility and light weight of the balance cushion for the elastic module better, whereby the comfort of the elastic cushion can be further improved.

[0038] Figures 4 and 5 exemplarily show the balance cushion 10 for an elastic module according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, based on the balance cushion 10 for an elastic module according to the first preferred embodiment provided by the present invention, the balance cushion for an elastic module further includes a protective lining 8, and the protective lining 8 is laid and connected on the second cushion side surface 2 and includes a recessed portion that recesses so as to enter each storage hole 5. The recessed portion that recesses so as to enter the storage hole in the protective lining 8 includes a top wall 9 and a side wall 11 surrounding the top wall 9, the side wall 11 is connected in accordance with the inner surface of the storage hole 5, the top wall 9 faces the first cushion side surface 1, and the cushion body 3 may be wrapped between the protective sheet 6 and the protective lining 8.

[0039] In this way, the protective lining 8 is laid and connected on the second cushion side surface 2, and is recessed so as to enter into each storage hole 5. At the same time, the side wall 11 of the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter into the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8 is connected in accordance with the inner surface of the storage hole 5. Thereby, each storage hole 5 is used to restrain the lateral movement of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base by accommodating a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base. In this way, when assembling the elastic cushion 10 for the elastic module to form the elastic cushion 12, it can be laid on the elastic base 5 provided with a plurality of elastic modules 7. While a part of each elastic module 7 is accommodated in its corresponding storage hole 5, it contacts the portion that is recessed so as to enter into the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8. At this time, the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter into the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8 can prevent the contact between a part of the elastic module 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5, and can well guard the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5. At the same time, due to the limiting effect of the storage hole 5 of the cushion body 3, by efficiently restraining the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the cushion body), the inclination of each elastic module 7 caused by the biasing force can be efficiently avoided, and the support stability of each elastic module can be efficiently maintained. Further, the protective lining 8 can not only well guard the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3, but also can limit the position of the cushion body in the lateral direction by connecting the second cushion side surface 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5 integrally in the lateral direction. At the same time, as described above, since the protective sheet 6 can limit the position of the cushion body 3 in the lateral direction by connecting the cushion body 3 integrally in the lateral direction, the protective sheet 6 and the protective lining 8 can prevent the lateral tensile displacement of the cushion body 3 based on the action of the elastic module 7. Thereby, the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction can be further restrained by the cushion body 3. Further, when a part of the elastic module 7 located in the storage hole 5 contacts the top wall 9, the top wall 9 can also limit the position of the elastic module 7 and prevent the movement of the elastic module 7 in the axial direction of the storage hole 5.Therefore, when the elastic module 7 is laid on the elastic base, it restricts the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0040] Also, in the storage hole 5, the top wall 9 may have a predetermined gap with the protective sheet 6, and the size of the predetermined gap may be selected according to actual needs, for example, 1-2 mm or other values. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the top wall 9 is integrally connected to the protective sheet 6. For example, the top wall 9 is integrally connected to the protective sheet 6 by an adhesive or ultrasonic welding. In this way, the integrally connected top wall 9 and protective sheet 6 increase the thickness so that a part of the elastic module 7 can form a good and long-term axial support, while preventing the lateral tensile displacement of the cushion body 3 based on the action of the elastic module 7. The first cushion side surface 1 of the cushion body 3 can be integrally connected to the second cushion side surface 2, thereby further restricting the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction by the cushion body 3.

[0041] When the storage hole 5 is a through hole, the top wall 9 and the protective sheet 6 may be directly connected, or a spacer may be arranged between the top wall 9 and the protective sheet 6. The integrally connected top wall 9, spacer, and protective sheet 6 further increase the thickness so that a part of the elastic module 7 can form a good and long-term axial support. Alternatively, when the storage hole 5 is a countersunk hole, the top wall 9, the top wall of the storage hole 5, and the protective sheet 6 may be integrally connected, thereby further increasing the thickness so that a part of the elastic module 7 can form a good and long-term axial support.

[0042] Further, in the balance cushion for the elastic module, the material of the protective lining 8 may be different from the material of the protective sheet 6. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the protective lining 8 is a protective lining having the same material as the protective sheet 6, that is, the material of the protective lining 8 may be the same as the material of the protective sheet 6. For example, both the protective lining 8 and the protective sheet 6 may be non-woven fabrics.

[0043] Also, similar to the protective sheet 6, the protective lining 8 may be a single layer or may be a laminated multi-layer.

[0044] Further, the shape of the recessed portion is adapted to the shape of the storage hole 5, whereby the side wall of the recessed portion can be better connected to the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5.

[0045] FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 exemplarily show a balance cushion 10 for an elastic module according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1, 8 and 9, the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module includes a cushion body 3 and a protective lining 8. Among them, the cushion body 3 includes a first cushion side surface 1 and a second cushion side surface 2 that face each other in the thickness direction of the cushion body. The second cushion side surface 2 faces the elastic base 4. A plurality of storage holes 5 are formed on the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3 at intervals and extend toward the inside of the cushion body. The protective lining 8 is laid and connected on the second cushion side surface 2 and includes a recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter each storage hole 5. The recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole in the protective lining 8 includes a top wall 9 and a side wall 11 that surrounds the top wall 9. The side wall 11 is connected to the inner surface of the storage hole 5, and the top wall 9 faces the first cushion side surface 1. Among them, each storage hole 5 is for restraining the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction by storing a part of the corresponding elastic module 7 in the elastic base 4.

[0046] In the balance cushion for the elastic module, on the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3, a plurality of storage holes 5 are formed at intervals and extend toward the inside of the cushion body. The protective lining 8 is laid and connected on the second cushion side surface 2, and is recessed so as to enter each storage hole 5. At the same time, the side wall 11 of the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8 is connected to the inner surface of the storage hole 5. Thus, each storage hole 5 is used to restrain the movement of the elastic module in the lateral direction by accommodating a part of the corresponding elastic module in the elastic base. In this way, when assembling the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module to form the elastic cushion 12, it can be laid on the elastic base 5 provided with a plurality of elastic modules 7. While a part of each elastic module 7 is accommodated in its corresponding storage hole 5, it contacts the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8. At this time, the recessed portion that is recessed so as to enter the storage hole 5 in the protective lining 8 can prevent the contact between a part of the elastic module 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5, and can well guard the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5. At the same time, due to the limiting action of the storage hole 5 of the cushion body 3, by efficiently restraining the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction (i.e., the direction parallel to the cushion body), the inclination of each elastic module 7 caused by the biasing force can be efficiently avoided, and the support stability of each elastic module can be efficiently maintained. In addition, the protective lining 8 can not only well guard the second cushion side surface 2 of the cushion body 3, but also can limit the position of the cushion body in the lateral direction by connecting the second cushion side surface 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5 as a whole in the lateral direction, and can prevent the tensile displacement of the cushion body in the lateral direction based on the action of the elastic module. Thus, the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction can be further restrained by the cushion body 3. Further, when a part of the elastic module 7 located in the storage hole 5 contacts the top wall 9, the top wall 9 can also limit the position of the elastic module 7 and prevent the movement of the elastic module 7 in the axial direction of the storage hole 5.Therefore, when the balance cushion for the elastic module 7 is laid on the elastic base, it restrains the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0047] In addition, the balance cushion for the elastic module may be used for the elastic cushion for manufacturing furniture.

[0048] In addition, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the storage hole 5 may be a countersunk hole, that is, the storage hole 5 extends toward the inside of the cushion body 3, but does not pass through the first surface 1 on the cushion side. At this time, the protective sheet 6 may be connected to the top wall of the countersunk hole so as to improve the strength of the top wall of the hole and prevent the movement of the elastic module 7 in the axial direction of the storage hole 5. Alternatively, the storage hole 5 may penetrate the cushion body 3 in the thickness direction, that is, it may extend from the second surface 2 on the cushion side to the first surface 1 on the cushion side. In this way, the storage hole 5 can store as much as possible a part of the elastic module 7.

[0049] It should be noted that as long as a part of the elastic module 7 can enter the storage hole 5, the top wall 9 may be located at any appropriate position along the axial direction of the storage hole 5 in the storage hole 5. For example, in one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, the storage hole 5 penetrates the cushion body in the thickness direction, and the top wall 9 is installed at the orifice of the storage hole 5 located on the first surface 1 on the cushion side, and the outer surface of the top wall 9 and the first surface 1 on the cushion side are flush. In this way, by allowing a part of the elastic module 7 to extend deeper into the storage hole 5, the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction can be better restrained. In addition, since the outer surface of the top wall 9 and the first surface 1 on the cushion side are flush, in this way, the depression formed on the first surface 1 on the cushion side due to the existence of the storage hole 5 can be avoided, and the flatness of the first surface 1 on the cushion side can be improved.

[0050] In addition, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the protective lining 8 may be connected to the second surface 2 on the cushion side by adhesion, ultrasonic welding, magic tape connection or other forms. Further, the protective lining 8 may be a single layer or a laminated multi-layer.

[0051] In addition, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 may be the same in the axial direction of the storage hole, that is, an equal-diameter hole. In this way, a part of the elastic module 7 can abut against the protective sheet 6 after entering the storage hole 5. Alternatively, a stopper flange may be formed in the storage hole 5 by changing the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 in the axial direction of the storage hole. In this way, a part of the elastic module 7 can abut against the stopper flange after entering the storage hole 5. Alternatively, referring to FIG. 9, the dimensions of the cross-section of the storage hole 5 gradually increase in the direction from the first surface 1 on the cushion side to the second surface 2 on the cushion side, forming a frustum-shaped hole. In this way, the dimensions of the cross-section of the frustum-shaped hole gradually decrease in the direction towards the first surface 1 on the cushion side. At this time, the protective sheet 6 closes the small end opening of the frustum-shaped hole. In actual use, a part of the elastic module 7 can abut against the tapered inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5 after entering the storage hole 5. Optionally, the elastic module 7 may be formed into a frustum so as to adapt to the frustum-shaped hole, and the taper inclination of the frustum may be the same as the taper inclination of the storage hole 5. In this way, a part of the frustum may be conically fitted into the frustum-shaped hole so that the shape fits, and a conical fit is formed between the two. As a result, a part of the elastic module 7 is arranged more stably and reliably in the storage hole 5, and the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module can provide more stable and reliable restraint for the elastic module 7. In addition, the storage hole 5 may be a square hole, a circular hole, for example, a square frustum hole or a circular frustum hole.

[0052] In addition, by making the shape of the recess match the shape of the storage hole 5, the side wall of the recess can contact the inner peripheral surface of the storage hole 5 better.

[0053] Also, in the balance cushion 10 for the elastic module, the cushion body 3 does not necessarily have to have elasticity and may be, for example, a plastic chip. The protective sheet 6 may employ a plastic sheet having a predetermined thickness. The plastic sheet may be laid and adhered on the substrate surface on one side of the plastic chip and may be recessed into the storage hole 5. Alternatively, the cushion body 3 is an elastic body, and the protective lining 8 is a flexible sheet. In this way, the flexible sheet may be laid and connected on the second surface 2 on the cushion side of the elastic body by an adhesive or ultrasonic welding and may be recessed into the storage hole 5. In this way, after the elastic body is laid on the elastic base 4 to form the elastic cushion 12, when the elastic cushion receives pressure, the elastic module 7 is correspondingly compressed to provide support. At this time, since the cushion body 3 is an elastic body and the protective lining 8 is a flexible sheet, the cushion body 3 is correspondingly elastically deformed to provide buffering. Accordingly, the flexible sheet also deforms correspondingly, whereby the movement of each elastic module 7 in the lateral direction can be further restricted, so that the stability of the elastic cushion 12 when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved, and the elastic cushion 12 has better comfort.

[0054] Also, the elastic body may include multiple types. For example, one type of the elastic body may be a silicone gel body, or another type of the elastic body may be a sponge body, for example, a sponge body with high elasticity. The sponge body is easily molded into a required shape, has low cost, and good air permeability. Also, the flexible sheet may include multiple types. For example, one type of the flexible sheet may be a plastic sheet having a predetermined thickness. Alternatively, another type of the flexible sheet may be a cloth material, for example, canvas or a non-woven fabric sheet. The non-woven fabric sheet enables the balance cushion for the elastic module to have good moisture prevention and ventilation performance. Also, the non-woven fabric sheet makes the balance cushion for the elastic module more flexible and lightweight, whereby the comfort of the elastic cushion can be further improved.

[0055] In addition, the present invention provides an elastic cushion. Referring to FIG. 10, the elastic cushion 12 includes an elastic base 4 and any of the elastic module balancing cushions 10 described above. Among them, the elastic base 4 includes a plurality of elastic modules 7. Among them, the elastic module balancing cushion 10 is laid on the elastic base 4, and a part of each elastic module 7 is positioned so as to be housed in its corresponding storage hole 5. Among them, the storage hole 5 can restrain the movement of the elastic module 7 in the lateral direction. In this way, as described above, when the elastic module balancing cushion is laid on the elastic base, the movement of each elastic module in the lateral direction can be further restrained, so that the stability of the elastic cushion when receiving pressure can be efficiently improved. Therefore, the elastic cushion has better comfort.

[0056] In addition, the elastic module 7 may have a plurality of shapes. For example, the elastic module 7 may be in the shape of a cylinder, a frustum of a cone, or a columnar body. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, the elastic module 7 is in the shape of a frustum of a cone and is housed in a storage hole 5 which is a frustum-shaped hole so as to match the shape. In this way, the frustum-shaped elastic module 7 is the same as the taper inclination of the conical surface of the storage hole 5 which is a frustum-shaped hole, and a conical fit with a fitting shape is formed between the two. As a result, a part of the elastic module 7 is arranged more stably and reliably in the storage hole 5, and the elastic module balancing cushion 10 can provide more stable and reliable restraint to the elastic module 7.

[0057] In addition, the elastic module 7 may include multiple types. For example, the elastic module 7 may be a columnar elastic block, such as a rubber block. Alternatively, the elastic module 7 includes a spring supporter 14 and a conical spring 15 installed in the spring supporter 14. At this time, the elastic base 4 includes a foldable mounting frame, and the spring supporter 14 is for removably mounting the elastic module 7 to the foldable mounting frame. In this way, the plurality of elastic modules 7 are each mounted to the foldable mounting frame by their respective spring supporters 14, and then, by laying the elastic module equalizing cushion 10 on each elastic module 7, a part of each elastic module 7 is positioned to enter its respective corresponding storage hole 5. When removal is necessary, the elastic module equalizing cushion 10 is removed, and then each elastic module 7 is removed from the foldable mounting frame and stacked and nested in order, and then the foldable mounting frame may be folded. Therefore, the elastic cushion 12 is simple to remove, and the removed elastic modules are stacked so as to be compressed or nested, extremely saving the storage and transportation space and being easy to wash.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 10, the elastic cushion 12 further includes a cover 13. The cover 13 covers the elastic module equalizing cushion 10 and wraps at least a part of the elastic base 4 and the elastic module equalizing cushion 10. For example, by wrapping the elastic base 4 and the elastic module equalizing cushion 10 entirely, the design property of the elastic cushion 12 can be improved. The cover 13 wraps at least a part of the elastic base 4 and the elastic module equalizing cushion 10 by a removable connection structure, such as a slide fastener or a magic tape.

[0059] In addition, the present invention provides a furniture, which includes any of the elastic cushions 12 described above. The furniture includes, but is not limited to, a mattress, a sofa, a chair, a sofa bed, a bench, etc.
