Electrical bed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Many individuals suffer from light sleep, insomnia, and related issues due to inadequate sleeping positions, necessitating an electrical bed capable of adjusting angles to accommodate different sleeping positions.
Innovation Solution
An electrical bed with a frame, bed plates, connectors, and driving units that allow for adjustable bed plates, utilizing rotating members, connecting arms, transmission bars, and driving units to change the angle of the bed plates, controlled by a processor and user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If bed plates are made fixed and non-adjustable, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different sleeping positions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bed plates are designed to be dynamically adjustable rather than fixed, allowing users to change the angle and position of bed plates according to different sleeping needs. The driving units enable smooth transitions between different configurations, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to user requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The bed structure is divided into multiple independent bed plates (first bed plate, second bed plate, third bed plate) that can be adjusted independently. Each bed plate can be controlled separately by its own driving unit, allowing granular adjustment of different sections to achieve optimal sleeping positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bed plates with adjustable angles are implemented, then the adaptability to sleeping positions is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connectors and driving units are designed with multi-functionality to reduce overall system complexity. The same connector design is used across multiple bed plates, and the driving units can control different bed plates, creating a universal interface that simplifies the control architecture despite having multiple adjustable components.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions are merged into the connector and driving unit assemblies. The connectors not only join bed plates to the frame but also serve as pivot points and transmission mechanisms. The driving units combine motor functions, transmission mechanisms, and control interfaces into integrated assemblies that reduce the number of separate components.
