Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bed frames with sliding mechanisms cannot be adjusted to suit individual user preferences for reciprocating range, limiting their effectiveness in improving sleep quality.
Innovation Solution
A reciprocating device comprising a base, moving frame, shaking unit, adjustment unit, and driving unit, where the shaking unit's motion is altered by an adjustment assembly driven by a power member, allowing the reciprocating range to be adjusted by changing the position of the shaking assembly, thereby enabling the moving frame to reciprocate relative to the base with increased range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed sliding mechanism is used in the bed frame, then the structure is simple and stable, but the reciprocating range cannot be adjusted to suit user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the shaking assembly adjustable rather than fixed. The power member enables the shaking assembly to change its position dynamically, allowing the reciprocating range to be adjusted according to user preferences. This transforms a static structure into a dynamic one that can adapt to different needs while maintaining relative simplicity through controlled movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the position parameter of the shaking assembly through the power member. By changing the position of the shaking assembly along the moving frame, the reciprocating range parameter is adjusted. This allows the system to adapt to different user preferences by varying a key geometric parameter without fundamentally changing the overall structure.
2Ease of operation
If the reciprocating range is increased to improve sleep quality, then user comfort is enhanced, but the supporting components experience increased stress and reduced service life
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamics principle is applied by enabling adjustable reciprocating range rather than using a fixed large-range movement. Users can optimize the reciprocating range to achieve sufficient sleep quality improvement while avoiding excessive ranges that would over-stress supporting components. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to operate within safe stress limits while still providing the necessary comfort benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The parameter changes principle is implemented by allowing users to vary the reciprocating range parameter to an optimal value. Rather than always operating at maximum range, the system can adjust the range parameter to balance comfort improvement with component stress reduction, thereby extending service life while maintaining ease of operation for sleep quality enhancement.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to customize the reciprocating range of the bed frame, enhancing sleep quality by accommodating individual preferences and maintaining the moving frame in a substantially upright position, thus extending the service life of supporting components.
Implementation Method 1
The power member is a linear actuator, and the reciprocating range of the moving frame is increased when the power member stretches
Implementation Method 2
The shaft is an eccentric shaft, and the rotation of the shaft enables the first shaking portion to perform a circular motion around the rotary axis of the shaft
Implementation Method 3
The driving unit includes a motor and a pulley belt set
