Electric Bed with Wireless Snoring Detection and Adjustable Head Plank
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric beds with anti-snoring functions cannot provide users with insights into their physical condition and often activate the anti-snoring feature unnecessarily, wasting power and lacking user-adjustability.
Innovation Solution
An electric bed with a rotatable head plank, pressure sensors for snoring detection, a wireless communication module for user-programmable settings, and a learning module to optimize snoring relief, which automatically adjusts the bed position and communicates health data to a user's intelligent terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the anti-snoring function is activated continuously, then the snoring relief effect is maintained, but power is wasted when the user is not on the bed
Solution Approach 1:
The pressure sensor detects user presence in advance before the anti-snoring function is activated. The controller receives the detection signal and only activates the anti-snoring function when the user is actually on the bed, preventing unnecessary power consumption while maintaining reliable snoring relief when needed.
2Ease of manufacture
If the anti-snoring program is fixed by manufacturer, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the user cannot adjust it according to personal situation
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-snoring program transitions from a fixed static configuration to a dynamic adjustable one. The controller can receive adjustment instructions from external devices, allowing users to modify parameters like head plank rotation angle and duration according to their personal needs, while maintaining a basic factory-default program for simple manufacturing.
3Reliability
If the head bed plank is rotated to anti-snoring position, then the user's snoring is alleviated, but the bed structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The bed is divided into segmented planks with at least the head bed plank being rotatable. This segmentation allows the anti-snoring function to be isolated to a specific section of the bed, achieving effective snoring relief while keeping the rest of the bed structure simple and manageable.
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
The electric bed effectively alleviates snoring by adjusting the head plank angle, saves power by detecting user presence, and provides users with real-time health insights through wireless communication, enhancing the intelligence and functionality of existing anti-snoring solutions.
Implementation Method 1
a monitoring module including a pressure sensor for determining a user's snoring according to a regular pressure change generated when the user is snoring
Implementation Method 2
a driver, one end of the driver hinged to the head bed plank and another end thereof hinged to the bed body to drive the head bed plank to rotate

AI summary
An electric bed includes: a bed body, a plurality of bed planks, a driver for driving the head bed plank to rotate, a monitoring module, a driving module and a wireless communication module. When the monitoring module detects that the user is snoring, the driving module controls the driver to drive the head bed plank to rotate to an anti-snoring position. When the symptoms of snoring weaken or stop, the driving module controls the driver to drive the head bed plank to restore to an initial position. The wireless communication module is electrically connected to the driving module. The wireless communication module is wirelessly connected to an intelligent terminal. The user sets an anti-snoring program into the intelligent terminal, and then the intelligent terminal transmits the anti-snoring program to the wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module sends an application situation of the anti-snoring function to the intelligent terminal.
