Burn Bed Triangular Frame Mesh Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional hospital beds are not well-suited for burn patients, as they do not allow proper airflow to the patient's back, are not washable, cannot bear variable weight, and are not angled to ease patient treatment.
Innovation Solution
A burn bed system comprising a frame made of stainless steel tubing with a triangular shape and cross beams, a mesh support extending between the triangular stands, and adjustable straps to ensure proper airflow and patient comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional hospital beds are used, then structural stability is provided, but proper airflow to the patient's back is not allowed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a mesh support surface instead of a solid bed surface. The mesh structure contains openings that allow air to pass through to the patient's back, eliminating the airflow obstruction problem while maintaining structural stability through the rigid frame and triangular stand configuration.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional hospital beds are used, then patient support is provided, but the beds are not washable for maintaining sanitary conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The mesh support surface is inherently washable due to its open structure, allowing water and cleaning solutions to pass through. Combined with the stainless steel frame materials, the entire bed surface can be easily cleaned and sanitized, addressing the sanitary contamination issue while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If traditional hospital beds are used, then basic patient accommodation is provided, but they are not angled to ease patient treatment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an adjustable backrest mechanism that allows the bed to be tilted to various angles. This dynamic adjustment capability enables optimal positioning for different treatment procedures and patient comfort needs, improving treatment accessibility without requiring complex mechanical systems beyond a simple adjustable frame.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If a washable mesh support is used, then sanitary conditions are improved, but the weight bearing capacity may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a mesh support surface with a rigid stainless steel frame structure. The mesh provides washability and sanitary properties, while the stainless steel frame with triangular stands and cross beams provides the necessary weight bearing capacity and structural strength, creating a composite system that satisfies both requirements.
