Description

A mattress control method and control system with adjustable sleeping feeling and a mattress using the same Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to intelligent furniture, and in particular to a control method and control system for an adjustable sleeping feel mattress, and a mattress using the same. Background Art

[0002] People's demands for sleep quality and comfort are increasing, and traditional mattresses can no longer meet personalized sleep needs. Current improvement technologies mainly focus on adjusting the mattress's sleeping feel by adjusting the softness and hardness of the support or adding comfort layers such as pressure-relieving wrapping. For example, adjusting the air support on one side of the mattress to adjust the sleeping feel of the mattress is limited in its adjustment range and still cannot meet user needs. In addition, when people sleep on a mattress, they usually tend to lie in the same position, which causes the mattress to bear repeated pressure in the same position. Over time, the mattress is prone to sag and flattening, which reduces the mattress's service life. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to address the aforementioned issues in the prior art by providing a mattress control method and control system for adjustable sleep feel, and a mattress utilizing the same. A mattress utilizing the control method and control system can personalize parameters such as mattress firmness and comfort according to user needs and preferences, providing a more comfortable and personalized sleep experience. This improves sleep quality and overall well-being, reduces stress and fatigue, and promotes physical and mental well-being. By adjusting the mattress's head and tail ends, and its A and B sides, the mattress can be adjusted to avoid long-term use in a fixed position, thereby extending its lifespan.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: The technical solution of the first technical subject of the present invention is: a control method for adjusting the sleeping feel of a mattress, characterized in that the steps include:

[0005] S100, user and system parameter settings, including user parameters and mattress parameters;

[0006] S200: Turn on a mattress feature recognition mode, including an end recognition mode and / or a face recognition mode. The end recognition mode is used to identify whether the head end of the smart bed is set at the head end or the tail end of the mattress; the face recognition mode is used to identify whether the top surface of the mattress on the smart bed is side A or side B.

[0007] S300: Based on the recognition signal generated by the end recognition mode and / or the face recognition mode, the mattress sleep feeling adjustment mode is activated to match the support force of each part of the mattress with the pressure of the corresponding part of the human body, thereby completing the sleep feeling adjustment.

[0008] This technical solution mainly implements a mattress sleep feel adjustment control method through a mattress sleep feel adjustment control system, so that when the head end and tail end of the mattress are swapped and / or the A side and B side of the mattress are swapped, the air spring partition in the lateral direction of the mattress can be re-planned according to ergonomics, and the softness and hardness of the mattress can be adjusted in a timely and intelligent manner, providing a more personalized sleeping experience to meet the needs of different users.

[0009] As a further improvement and supplement to the above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention employs the following technical measures: a method for controlling an adjustable mattress feel, further comprising: enabling a time management mode for periodically or upon user demand to enable a mattress feature recognition mode. Enabling the time management mode for periodically or upon user demand prevents the user from inadvertently adjusting the mattress feel. The time management mode allows the user to adjust the mattress feel within a set timeframe, thereby improving user comfort and sleep quality.

[0010] Preferably, the end recognition mode is used to determine whether the mattress is connected to the power supply circuit through a first power supply connector set at the head end of the mattress or through a second power supply connector set at the tail end of the mattress, and to form a head-end recognition signal and a tail-end recognition signal respectively; the facial recognition mode forms a facial recognition signal through the signal of the multi-axis sensor on the mattress.

[0011] Preferably, the mattress sleep feel adjustment mode adjusts the sleep feel by controlling the air pressure in each area of ​​the air spring adjustment layer on side A and the air spring adjustment layer on side B. By dividing the air spring adjustment layer into two layers, and combining them with the comfort layer material, the mattress achieves different hardness and softness levels on sides A and B. This allows for a wider range of softness and hardness adjustments, making it suitable for a wider range of users and expanding its applicability.

[0012] The technical solution of the second technical subject of the present invention: a control system for a mattress with adjustable sleeping feel, characterized in that it is used to execute the aforementioned control method for an adjustable sleeping feel of a mattress, and includes a microcontroller unit and a sleeping feel adjustment unit that interacts with the microcontroller unit, a mattress end recognition unit and / or a mattress face recognition unit, the mattress end recognition unit being used to identify whether the head end of the smart bed is set at the head end or the tail end of the mattress, and to form an end recognition signal, the mattress face recognition unit being used to identify whether the top surface of the mattress on the smart bed is side A or side B, and to form a face recognition signal, the microcontroller unit receiving and processing the end recognition signal and / or face recognition signal, and forming a sleeping feel control signal, the sleeping feel adjustment unit receiving and executing the sleeping feel control signal to adjust the sleeping feel of the mattress, so that the supporting force of each part of the mattress matches the pressure of the corresponding part of the human body.

[0014] Preferably, the mattress facial recognition unit includes a multi-axis sensor provided on the mattress, the multi-axis sensor interacts with the microcontroller unit signal, and the microcontroller unit forms a facial recognition signal by identifying the signal of the multi-axis sensor.

[0015] Preferably, the sleep feeling adjustment unit includes an air pressure sampling unit connected to the microcontroller unit signal, a solenoid valve and air pump drive unit, a pressure sensor unit, and a solenoid valve and air pump unit driven by the solenoid valve and air pump drive unit. The pressure sensor unit is used to detect the pressure exerted on the mattress by various parts of the human body and form a pressure signal. The air pressure sampling unit is used to detect the air pressure in the air spring adjustment layer in the mattress and form an air pressure signal. The microcontroller unit forms a drive signal to control the solenoid valve and air pump drive unit based on the pressure signal, air pressure signal, end recognition signal and / or facial recognition signal. The solenoid valve and air pump drive unit receives the drive signal to control the solenoid valve and air pump unit to adjust the inflation amount of the air spring adjustment layer so that the supporting force of various parts of the mattress matches the pressure of the corresponding parts of the human body. The sleep feeling adjustment unit is used to adjust the air spring adjustment layer on side A and the air spring adjustment layer on side B of the mattress respectively.

[0016] The technical solution of the third technical subject of the present invention is: an intelligent mattress, comprising an outer quilted layer, an air spring adjustment layer arranged in the outer quilted layer, and a comfort layer arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the air spring adjustment layer, characterized in that it also includes a control box that cooperates with the air spring adjustment layer, and a control system is set in the control box.

[0017] Preferably, the air spring adjustment layer includes a stacked A-side air spring adjustment layer and a B-side air spring adjustment layer, and a control system is provided in the control box to control the A-side air spring adjustment layer and the B-side air spring adjustment layer to independently adjust the sleeping feeling.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By implementing a control method for an adjustable mattress sleep feel through a mattress control system, the mattress's softness and hardness sleep feel can be adjusted in time when the mattress's head and tail ends are swapped and / or when the mattress's A side and B side are swapped. The mattress's softness and hardness, comfort and other parameters can be adjusted individually according to the user's needs and preferences, providing a more comfortable sleep feel that meets personal needs, thereby improving sleep quality, reducing physical stress and fatigue, and promoting physical and mental health. 2. By arranging two upper and lower air spring massage layers on the mattress, the mattress has a wider range of softness and hardness sleep feel adjustments on both sides, and the sleep feel adjustment is more convenient and efficient. 2. By swapping the mattress's head and tail ends and flipping the mattress over, the mattress's pressure can be redistributed, extending the mattress's service life, increasing the mattress's comfort, and avoiding deformation of the mattress. This avoids using the mattress in a fixed position for a long time, which is beneficial to increasing the mattress's service life. 3. Enable the time management mode to enable the mattress feature recognition mode regularly or according to user needs to prevent users from neglecting to adjust the mattress sleeping feel in time. The time management mode allows users to adjust the mattress sleeping feel in time within the set time, thereby improving user comfort and improving user sleep quality.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further specifically described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1: As shown in FIG1 , the technical solution of the first technical subject of the present invention is as follows:

[0029] A method for controlling a mattress with adjustable sleeping feel, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0030] S100, user and system parameter settings, including user parameters and mattress parameters;

[0031] S200: Turn on a mattress feature recognition mode, including an end recognition mode and / or a face recognition mode. The end recognition mode is used to identify whether the head end of the smart bed is set at the head end or the tail end of the mattress; the face recognition mode is used to identify whether the top surface of the mattress on the smart bed is side A or side B.

[0032] S300: Based on the recognition signal generated by the end recognition mode and / or the face recognition mode, the mattress sleep feeling adjustment mode is activated to match the support force of each part of the mattress with the pressure of the corresponding part of the human body, thereby completing the sleep feeling adjustment.

[0033] In step S100, after the adjustable mattress control system is powered on, user and mattress parameters are set via the user interaction unit. User parameter settings include, but are not limited to, gender, age, height, weight, and other information. When the user adjusts the mattress's head and tail, or front and back positions, the adjustable mattress control system intelligently re-arranges the air spring zones along the mattress's length based on user parameters and ergonomics, enabling intelligent adjustment from head to leg. Mattress parameter settings include, but are not limited to, default settings for the front and back softness and firmness, and other parameters. The user interaction unit includes, but is not limited to, a remote control, an app, or a WeChat mini-program. Jump to S200.

[0034] Step S200 is further optimized to enable a time management mode for enabling the mattress feature recognition mode periodically or according to user needs, thereby preventing the user from neglecting to adjust the mattress sleeping feel in a timely manner. The user can adjust the mattress sleeping feel in a timely manner within the set time through the time management mode, thereby improving user comfort and improving the user's sleep quality.

[0035] Preferably, the end recognition mode is used to determine whether the mattress is connected to the power supply circuit through a first power supply connector set at the head end of the mattress or through a second power supply connector set at the tail end of the mattress, and to form a head-end recognition signal and a tail-end recognition signal respectively; the facial recognition mode forms a facial recognition signal through the signal of the multi-axis sensor on the mattress.

[0036] Preferably, the mattress sleeping feeling adjustment mode adjusts the sleeping feeling by controlling the air pressure in each area of ​​the air spring adjustment layer on the A side and the air spring adjustment layer on the B side of the mattress.

[0037] To achieve the above objectives, this technical solution primarily employs the following technical means: a matrix of partitioned air springs is built into the mattress, with power supply ports installed at the head and foot of the bed. A power supply identification circuit is added to the control box system (as shown in Figure 5). By monitoring the power supply identification circuits for different ports, the head of the bed position is determined. The air springs are then re-arranged in the lateral direction of the mattress based on ergonomics, with the air spring adjustment layer in the mattress divided into two layers. This, combined with the selection of comfort layer materials, allows for different hardness and softness levels on the A and B sides of the mattress. This allows for a wider range of hardness adjustments, making it suitable for a wider range of user groups and thus increasing its applicability.

[0038] Example 2: As shown in Figures 2 to 7, the technical solution of the second technical theme of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] A mattress control system with adjustable sleeping feel, used to execute the mattress control method with adjustable sleeping feel described in Example 1, comprising a microcontroller unit L9000, a sleeping feel adjustment unit interacting with the microcontroller unit L9000, a mattress end recognition unit L9005, and / or a mattress facial parameter detection unit, wherein the mattress end recognition unit L9005 is used to identify whether the head end of the smart bed is set at the head end or the tail end of the mattress, and to form an end recognition signal, the mattress facial recognition unit L9004 is used to identify whether the top surface of the mattress on the smart bed is side A or side B, and to form a facial recognition signal, the microcontroller unit L9000 receives and processes the end recognition signal and / or facial recognition signal, and forms a sleeping feel control signal, the sleeping feel adjustment unit receives and executes the sleeping feel control signal to adjust the sleeping feel of the mattress, so that the supporting force of each part of the mattress matches the pressure of the corresponding part of the human body.

[0040] Preferably, the mattress end identification unit L9005 includes a first power supply circuit and a second power supply circuit respectively connected to the IO1 port and IO2 port on the microcontroller unit L9000, the first power supply interface L800 unit on the first power supply circuit is used to connect to the power supply interface at the head end of the mattress, and the second power supply interface L801 unit on the second power supply circuit is used to connect to the power supply interface at the tail end of the mattress. The microcontroller unit L9000 forms a part identification signal by judging the circuit power supply on the IO1 port or the IO2 port.

[0041] The principle of end identification is: in order to identify the head end and tail end of the mattress, a first power supply interface L800 and a second power supply interface L801 are set respectively. The external power supply provides working power to the control box L900 through the first power supply interface L800, and the end connected to the power supply is identified as the head end of the mattress. Conversely, the external power supply provides working power to the control box L900 through the second power supply interface L801, and the end connected to the power supply is identified as the tail end of the mattress.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4, specifically: when the first power supply interface L800 is facing the head of the bed, when power is supplied from this interface, first, the power supply VDD1 is stepped down by the voltage divider circuit R1 and R2, and then passes through the U1 op amp follower unit circuit, and is input to the IO1 port of the microcontroller unit L9000 with high impedance;

[0043] When the second power supply interface L801 is facing the head of the bed, when power is supplied from this interface, first, the power supply VDD1 is stepped down by the voltage divider circuit R3 and R4, and then passes through the U2 op amp follower unit circuit, and is input to the IO2 port of the L9000 microcontroller unit L9000 with high impedance;

[0044] If power is supplied through the first power supply interface L800 and the second power supply interface L801 at the same time, the first power supply interface L800 is set to the bedside direction by default.

[0045] The microcontroller unit L9000 can obtain the current mattress head and tail position information by reading the status of the mattress end identification unit L9005.

[0046] Preferably, the mattress facial recognition unit L9004 includes a multi-axis sensor mounted on the mattress. The multi-axis sensor interacts with the microcontroller unit L9000, and the microcontroller unit L9000 generates a facial recognition signal by identifying the multi-axis sensor signal. Multi-axis sensors include three-axis, six-axis, and nine-axis sensors, and utilize accelerometers, gyroscopes, or magnetometers to detect the position of mattress surfaces A and B.

[0047] In this embodiment, a three-axis acceleration sensor is used as an example, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. The accelerometer measures values ​​along three axes (X, Y, and Z). When the mattress is positioned horizontally for testing, with the Z axis pointing toward the sky, the X and Y axis values ​​are close to zero, and the Z-axis gravity acceleration is approximately 9.8 m / s², indicating that side A of the mattress is facing upward. When the mattress is positioned with side A facing downward, the Z-axis gravity acceleration is approximately -9.81 m / s², indicating that side B of the mattress is facing upward. Of course, we cannot guarantee that the sensor is perfectly horizontal, and the data measured by the sensor will also have a certain amount of noise. Generally speaking, it is reasonable for the values ​​when the mattress is horizontal and stationary to deviate from the theoretical values ​​by a certain amount.

[0048] Preferably, the sleep feeling adjustment unit includes an air pressure sampling unit L9008, an electromagnetic valve and air pump driving unit L9006, a pressure sensor unit, and an electromagnetic valve and air pump unit driven by the electromagnetic valve and air pump driving unit L9006, which are connected to the microcontroller unit L9000 signal. The pressure sensor unit is used to detect the pressure of various parts of the human body on the mattress and form a pressure signal. The air pressure sampling unit L9008 is used to detect the air pressure in the air spring adjustment layer L300 in the mattress and form an air pressure signal. The microcontroller unit L9000 generates a driving signal for controlling the solenoid valve and air pump driving unit L9006 based on the pressure signal, air pressure signal, end recognition signal and / or facial recognition signal. The solenoid valve and air pump driving unit L9006 receives the driving signal to control the solenoid valve and air pump unit to adjust the inflation amount of the air spring adjustment layer L300 so that the supporting force of each part of the mattress matches the pressure of the corresponding part of the human body. The sleeping feeling adjustment unit is used to adjust the A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300 in the mattress respectively.

[0049] To further explain the above technical solution, the microcontroller unit L9000 is responsible for input and output control, algorithm analysis, data storage, and communication interaction for the entire control system. The power supply unit L9001 serves as the control system's storage unit, while the wireless communication unit L9002 (storage unit L9003) provides operating power to various input and output control units. The storage unit is responsible for storing system parameters and user parameters during the operation of the control box L900. The wireless communication unit L9002 (storage unit L9003) includes, but is not limited to, infrared, Wi-Fi, and BT communication methods. The control box L900 communicates with the user interaction unit L1000 via the wireless communication unit L9002 (storage unit L9003). The mattress facial recognition unit L9004 uses an algorithm to identify the front and back of the mattress and inputs the relevant status to the microcontroller unit L9000. The mattress end recognition unit L9005 determines the position of the mattress's head and tail ends based on the power supply status and inputs the relevant status to the microcontroller unit L9000. The solenoid valve and air pump drive unit L9006 receives the output from the microcontroller unit L9000, drives the solenoid valve and air pump unit, and is responsible for selecting the output channels for charging and discharging air of the A and B air spring adjustment layers L300 and regulating the output of charging and discharging air. The electric valve and air pump unit L9007 receives the output from the solenoid valve and air pump drive unit L9006, and selects the output channels for charging and discharging air of the A and B air spring adjustment layers L300 and regulating the output of charging and discharging air. The air pressure sampling unit L9008 collects the air pressure status of the A and B air spring adjustment layers L300 through the air pressure sensor unit L9009 and inputs it into the microcontroller unit L9000. The air pressure sensor unit L9009 collects the air pressure status of the A air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B air spring adjustment layer L300, and inputs the information to the microcontroller unit L9000 through the air pressure sampling unit L9008.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3, the user interaction unit L1000 primarily provides user interaction with the intelligent mattress control system, including but not limited to apps, WeChat mini-programs, and remote controls. The mattress position diagram L10001 includes but is not limited to a diagram of the current mattress head and tail positions, front and back positions (i.e., side A and side B), and the positions of the mattress's partitioned air springs. The user parameter settings L10002 include but are not limited to information such as gender, age, height, and weight. Preferably, when the user adjusts the mattress's head and tail positions, or front and back positions, the control box L900 intelligently re-plans the mattress's direction, air spring partitions, and other operations based on user parameters and ergonomics. The mattress parameter settings L10003 include but are not limited to settings for parameters such as the default softness and hardness of the front and back sides.

[0051] Example 3: As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the technical solution of the third technical theme of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] A smart mattress comprises a quilted outer layer, an air spring adjustment layer L300 arranged in the quilted outer layer, and a comfort layer L200 arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the air spring adjustment layer L300. The smart mattress is characterized in that it also includes a control box L900 that cooperates with the air spring adjustment layer L300. The control box L900 is provided with a control system, and the control system is the control system for the adjustable sleeping feel of the mattress described in Example 2. The control system executes the control method for the adjustable sleeping feel of the mattress described in Example 1 to adjust the sleeping feel of the air spring adjustment layer L300.

[0053] In actual applications, the control system includes a main control system for signal interaction and a user interaction unit L1000. As shown in Figure 2, the main control system is mainly set up in the air box. As shown in Figure 3, the user interaction unit L1000 can be set up on the control box L900 or set up separately in the form of a remote control.

[0054] Preferably, the air spring adjustment layer L300 includes a stacked A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and a B-side air spring adjustment layer L300. The control box L900 is provided with a control system to control the A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300 to independently adjust the sleeping experience. The A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300 are stacked and sandwiched between the outer quilted upper layer L100 and the outer quilted lower layer. The A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 provides the user with a mattress with A-side support. It receives inflation and deflation drive output control from the control box L900 to adjust the softness or firmness of the sleeping experience in each area of ​​the A-side air spring adjustment layer L300. Similarly, the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300 provides the user with B-side support. It receives inflation and deflation drive output control from the control box L900 to adjust the softness or firmness of the sleeping experience in each area of ​​the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300. The materials of the air spring adjustment layer L300 include, but are not limited to, TPU, rubber, PVC, etc. The air spring adjustment layer L300 on side A and the air spring adjustment layer L300 on side B can be made of the same or different materials. To ensure a wide range of adjustable mattress support strength, the inflated height of both the air spring adjustment layer L300 on side A and the air spring adjustment layer L300 on side B is greater than or equal to 8 cm.

[0055] Preferably, the outer quilted layer comprises an upper quilted outer layer L100 located at the top of the mattress and a lower quilted outer layer L600 located at the bottom of the mattress. The upper quilted outer layer primarily provides subdivided, enveloping, pressure-relieving support for the mattress and enhances its visual effect. The upper quilted outer layer L100 and the lower quilted outer layer L600 form the outer covering of the mattress.

[0056] The comfort layer L200 comprises two layers, located below the quilted upper outer layer L100 and above the quilted bottom outer layer L600, respectively. This means that regardless of which side of the mattress is facing upward, the comfort layer L200 is located inside the quilted outer layer. The comfort layer L200 primarily provides pressure relief and support for the mattress, and its materials include, but are not limited to, latex, memory foam, air fiber, or sponge. The two comfort layers L200 can be identical (parameters of the comfort layer L200 include material, hardness, and height), or they can share one parameter. Alternatively, the two comfort layers L200 can differ in at least one parameter, creating a different sleeping experience to meet a wider range of needs.

[0057] Further preferably, in order to provide better sitting support around the edge of the mattress, and to protect the air spring adjustment layer L300 and increase its service life, a sponge edge L700 is provided around the outer edge of the mattress.

[0058] In order to identify the head end and tail end of the mattress, a first power supply interface L800 and a second power supply interface L801 are set respectively. When the external power supply provides working power to the control box L900 through the first power supply interface L800, the end connected to the power supply is identified as the head end of the mattress. Conversely, when the external power supply provides working power to the control box L900 through the second power supply interface L801, the end connected to the power supply is identified as the tail end of the mattress.

[0059] In practice, the control box L900 is installed on the tail side or both widthwise sides of the mattress's edge foam. It connects to the A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300 via connecting air pipes, and is connected to the first power supply interface L800 and the second power supply interface L801 via wired connections. It is primarily responsible for identifying the air pressure status of the A-side air spring adjustment layer L300 and the B-side air spring adjustment layer L300, controlling the inflation and deflation drive outputs, identifying the status of the first power supply interface L800 and the second power supply interface L801, and communicating with the user interaction unit L1000.

[0060] The control method and control system for adjusting the sleeping feel of a mattress according to the present invention and the mattress using the same, when applied to a smart bed, also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] In summary, a mattress with adjustable airflow on both sides provides users with a more personalized and comfortable sleep experience. This invention re-arranges the air spring partitions in the mattress's transverse direction based on ergonomics, enabling intelligent adjustment from head to leg position. It also provides dual-sided airflow adjustment for sleep comfort.
