Description

Mattress assembly

[0001] The present invention relates to a mattress assembly.

[0002] A mattress assembly is a device that supports a user lying down or sitting, and includes a mattress that provides cushioning inside, offering comfort and coziness to the user.

[0003] A massage device is a device that provides a massage function to a user and includes a massage module that massages the user. The massage module includes massage balls made of a hard material to provide a massage sensation to the user.

[0004] Meanwhile, since the mattress assembly is a device designed to provide cushioning to the user and the massage device is designed to provide a massage sensation, it is common for the mattress assembly and the massage device to be configured separately. Consequently, there is a problem in that the user must move to the mattress assembly to sleep or rest after receiving a massage from the massage device.

[0005] Meanwhile, some products in which a massage module is included in a mattress assembly have been disclosed, but in order to secure the amount of protrusion of the massage ball of the massage module to provide a massage sensation to the user, it is common for the distance between the upper surface of the mattress and the rail transporting the massage module to be designed to be less than a predetermined distance. However, in this case, since the distance between the upper surface of the mattress and the rail transporting the massage module is adjacent, there is a problem in that the user's body is interfered with by the massage ball when sleeping or resting, causing discomfort to the user.

[0006] We will review the relevant prior art.

[0007] Patent Document 1 (Chinese Registered Utility Model Document No. 221534478) discloses a pressure sore prevention air cushion that implements both a sleep mode and a massage mode, but since the air cushion of Patent Document 1 has massage balls placed between the cushions, there is a problem that the user's body is interfered with by the massage balls even when the user is sleeping or resting, and still causes discomfort to the user.

[0008] Patent Document 2 (Korean Published Patent Document No. 10-2005-0051986) discloses a bed for thermal massage therapy including a protruding curved rail, but the curved rail disclosed in Patent Document 2 is configured only to provide sufficient massage sensation to the user's waist or neck area, and does not disclose any awareness of preventing the user's body from interfering with the massage ball when the user is sleeping or resting.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the second embodiment, the first rail (410) may be located only at the other end (100b) in the longitudinal direction of the mattress body (100). In the first and second embodiments, the first rail (410) may be positioned such that the distance (d1) between the first rail (410) and the upper surface (101) of the mattress body is longer than the distance (d2) between the second rail (420) and the upper surface (101) of the mattress body.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 5, in the third embodiment, the first rail (410) may be located at both one end (100a) and the other end (100b) in the longitudinal direction of the mattress body (100). Thus, a plurality of first rails (410) may be arranged. In the third embodiment as well, the first rail (410) may be arranged such that the distance (d1) between the first rail (410) and the upper surface (101) of the mattress body is longer than the distance (d2) between the second rail (420) and the upper surface (101) of the mattress body.

[0074] Here, one end (100a) of the mattress body may be located at a position corresponding to the user's head portion, and the other end (100b) of the mattress body may be located at a position corresponding to the user's leg portion. Accordingly, the mattress assembly (1) according to the first embodiment may be used to provide concentrated massage to a portion other than the user's head portion, and the mattress assembly (1) according to the second embodiment may be used to provide concentrated massage to a portion other than the user's leg portion.

[0075] The control unit (500) receives an operation signal input from the outside and controls the operation of the components included in the mattress assembly (1). The operation signal input from the outside may include a massage mode operation signal and a storage mode operation signal. The operation signal may be input through a remote control or an operating unit (button) formed on the mattress assembly (1).

[0076] In the first to third embodiments, when a massage mode operation signal is input to the control unit (500), the control unit (500) can move the massage module (300) to the second rail (420) and control the massage arm (320) to rotate toward the upper surface (101) of the mattress body.

[0077] In the first to third embodiments, when a storage mode operation signal is input to the control unit (500), first, the control unit (500) can rotate the massage arm (320) toward the base (330). Accordingly, the amount of protrusion of the massage arm (320) (and / or massage ball (310)) from the base (330) can be reduced. Next, the control unit (500) can move the massage module (300) to the first rail (410). Since the distance to the upper surface of the mattress body (100) is greater on the first rail (410) than on the second rail (420), the massage ball (310) can be prevented from protruding toward the user and interfering with sleep or rest when the user is sleeping or resting. In another embodiment of the present invention, the massage ball (310) and / or massage arm (320) may be controlled so as not to protrude toward the user side by positioning the base (330) on the first rail (410) without rotating the massage arm (320) toward the base (330).
