Bed frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bed frames have fixed sizes, making it inconvenient to match them with mattresses of different specifications, as multiple frames need to be manufactured to accommodate various mattress sizes.
Innovation Solution
A bed frame design featuring movable rod members with elastic pins and supporting legs, allowing adjustable length and width to match mattresses of various specifications, utilizing first and second supports with retractable rod members and elastic sheets for size adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If bed frames are manufactured with fixed sizes to match specific mattress specifications, then manufacturing precision and reliability are improved, but adaptability and device complexity worsen as multiple frame types are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The bed frame employs telescopic rod members that can extend and retract to adjust the frame's length and width. The rod members include movable sections that slide within fixed sections, allowing continuous size adjustment to match different mattress dimensions while maintaining a single frame design
Solution Approach 2:
A single bed frame design serves multiple mattress sizes through the telescopic mechanism. The frame can be adjusted to accommodate various standard mattress dimensions (e.g., single, double, queen, king sizes), eliminating the need for multiple specialized frame types
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bed frame sizes are manufactured to match different mattress specifications, then adaptability is improved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The rod members are divided into fixed sections and movable sections that can slide relative to each other. This segmentation allows the frame to achieve multiple sizes from a single manufactured component set, reducing the need to manufacture entirely different frame structures for different mattress sizes
Solution Approach 2:
The movable rod sections are nested within the fixed rod sections, with one telescoping into the other. This nested structure allows compact storage and simplified manufacturing of the adjustable mechanism compared to assembling multiple complete frame structures
3Reliability
If fixed-size bed frames are used, then structural stability is improved, but versatility and adaptability worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The frame transitions from a static fixed-size structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The telescopic rod members maintain structural integrity during adjustment through guided sliding mechanisms and locking features, providing both stability and adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The rod members are pre-configured with guiding features and connection structures that ensure stable assembly and adjustment. The elastic sheets and protruding pins are pre-positioned to provide reliable locking at various extended positions, maintaining structural stability throughout the adjustment range
Applied Scientific Principles
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 uniform matching of bed frames with mattresses of all specifications by allowing adjustable sizes, reducing the need for multiple frame sizes and increasing versatility.
Implementation Method 1
one end of the protruding pin is coupled to an elastic sheet disposed inside the first rod member; the other end of the protruding pin can protrude outside the first rod member

AI summary
A bed frame includes two first supports located on two sides of the bed frame, wherein a second support is provided between the two first supports, two ends of the second support are coupled to the two first supports, the first support includes a first rod member and a second rod member that are relatively movable, and the second rod member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rod member; and the second support includes a third rod member and a fourth rod member that are relatively movable, and the fourth rod member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third rod member. The length and width of the bed frame can be adjusted, so that the bed frame can be adapted to mattresses of various sizes and specifications.
