Solution Overview

Problem

The production process of electric beds is complex and labor-intensive due to the use of multiple materials, including boards, filling materials, and the need for glue and gun nails, leading to high costs and low efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A bed body structure comprising a bearing mechanism with flexible coating structures, clamping grooves, and clamping pieces, which allows for the use of a flexible supporting layer that is easily attached to the bearing mechanism, eliminating the need for traditional boards and simplifying the production process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If traditional boards with filling materials and fabric are used, then the bed has sufficient load-bearing performance, but the production process becomes complex and labor-intensive with high costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload-bearing performanceVSAvoidproduction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and removes the complex multi-material structure (boards, filling materials, fabric, glue, gun nails) and replaces it with a simplified single-component flexible supporting layer that integrates all supporting functions, thereby eliminating the complex production process while maintaining load-bearing performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the physical state and properties of the supporting structure from rigid boards to a flexible material that can deform and adapt, transforming the load-bearing mechanism from rigid support to flexible support that achieves the same function through different physical principles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If traditional boards with filling materials and fabric are used, then the bed has sufficient load-bearing performance, but labor and time costs are high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload-bearing performanceVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention removes the labor-intensive processes of assembling multiple components (boards, filling materials, fabric, glue application, gun nail fixation) and replaces them with a single-step installation of the flexible supporting layer, dramatically improving production efficiency while maintaining load-bearing capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The flexible supporting layer is designed as a segmented or modular structure that can be easily installed and adjusted, allowing for faster production cycles compared to the integrated but complex traditional board structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional boards with fabric wrapped and fixed by gun nails are used, then the bed has structural stability, but the appearance is less attractive and safety concerns exist

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidappearance attractiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the appearance parameters by replacing the rigid, visible board structure with a flexible, smooth-surfaced supporting layer that can be aesthetically finished, improving appearance attractiveness while maintaining structural stability through the flexible material's inherent properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a flexible supporting layer that acts as a thin film or shell structure, providing both aesthetic appearance and structural stability, eliminating the need for visible boards and fabric wrapping while addressing safety concerns associated with traditional construction methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
