Solution Overview

Problem

Integrated electric beds are complex, large, and heavy, making them difficult to transport and install due to their non-detachable design, which limits their application and increases labor intensity during relocation.

Innovation Solution

A detachable frame structure for electric beds, comprising a movable upper frame with wheels and a separable lower frame with rail slots, allowing for independent packaging and easy assembly, along with connecting members and bed leg assemblies to maintain structural integrity during movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If an integrated electric bed design is used, then structural stability is improved, but transportation convenience deteriorates due to large size and heavy weight

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidtransportation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The electric bed frame is divided into multiple detachable modules including head section, foot section, and middle section that can be separated for transportation. Each module maintains structural integrity while enabling convenient disassembly and assembly, resolving the contradiction between stability and transportation ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If an integrated electric bed design is used, then structural integrity is improved, but device complexity increases making assembly difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bed frame is segmented into standardized modules with uniform connection interfaces. This modular design reduces assembly complexity while maintaining overall structural integrity through consistent connection mechanisms across all joints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection structures use universal joints and standardized fastening mechanisms that can be applied across all module connections. This universality simplifies the assembly process while ensuring consistent structural integrity throughout the entire bed frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If a detachable frame structure is used, then transportation convenience is improved, but structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation convenienceVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is segmented into modular sections that can be easily detached for transportation, yet each segment is designed with reinforced structures and standardized connection points that ensure stability when assembled into the complete bed frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
