Elastic module unit, elastic pad and furniture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elastic pads for furniture, such as beddings and sofa beds, exhibit poor comfort, high cost, and instability, with inconvenient assembly and storage due to their non-detachable, one-piece design, which occupies a large space.
Innovation Solution
The elastic module unit, comprising a fixed bottom plate with splicing sides and connectors like rotary detent and engagement members, allows for easy assembly and disassembly into an elastic support layer, reducing storage space by enabling modular assembly and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the elastic pad is designed as a one-piece non-detachable enclosed structure, then the structural integrity is improved, but the storage space occupied increases and assembly convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic pad is divided into multiple independent module units, each containing a bottom layer, spring layer, and enclosed sides. These modular units can be assembled together using connection structures (rotary detent members and engagement members) to form the complete elastic pad, enabling both structural integrity and compact storage
2Stability of the object's composition
If the elastic pad is designed as a one-piece non-detachable structure, then the structural integrity is improved, but the assembly convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic pad is segmented into multiple module units with standardized connection interfaces. Each module can be independently assembled and connected to adjacent modules through rotary detent members and engagement members, significantly improving assembly convenience while maintaining overall structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structures between modules incorporate rotary detent members that can be easily engaged and disengaged. The rotary mechanism allows for dynamic assembly and disassembly operations, making the elastic pad convenient to assemble and store while maintaining structural stability when assembled
3Stability of the object's composition
If the elastic pad uses a traditional enclosed structure with enclosed sides, then the structural completeness is improved, but the cost increases and stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The enclosed sides are integrated into individual module units rather than forming a continuous enclosure around the entire pad. Each module maintains its own enclosed structure, providing structural completeness while the modular arrangement improves overall stability and reduces cost

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the field of elastic pads for manufacturing household items and discloses an elastic module unit, an elastic pad and a furniture. The elastic module unit includes a fixed bottom plate and a plurality of elastic modules disposed on the fixed bottom plate, the fixed bottom plate includes splicing sides arranged opposite to each other and end sides arranged opposite to each other, and each of the end sides includes a plurality of connectors, the plurality of connectors comprise at least one of a rotary detent member and an engagement member, where the rotary detent member is configured to swing about a pivot axis so that it releasably engages an engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit; and the engagement member is configured to releasably engage a rotary engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit. The elastic module units can significantly improve the convenience in assembling the elastic pad, and can facilitate detachment for storage, thereby effectively reducing the storage space of the elastic pad.
