Foldable Mattress Base Plate with Modular Stacking for Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Camping mattresses are difficult to store and transport due to their integral formation, which occupies a large amount of space and is inconvenient for relocation.
Innovation Solution
A foldable base plate for an elastic mattress comprising mounting modules with tapered positioning members and connecting modules that allow for vertical folding, enabling the base plate to be stacked and facilitating easy storage and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If camping mattresses are integrally formed, then the mattress structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the mattress occupies large storage space and is inconvenient to transport
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is divided into multiple mounting modules that can be independently folded and stacked. Each mounting module can be separately assembled and disassembled, allowing the entire mattress to be compacted into a smaller volume for storage and transport while maintaining structural integrity during use.
2Stability of the object's composition
If camping mattresses are integrally formed, then the mattress maintains structural stability, but the mattress is difficult to store and relocate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting modules are designed with dynamic folding capabilities through hinge connections, allowing the base plate to transition between an expanded stable configuration during use and a compact folded configuration for storage. The spring modules provide dynamic support that adapts to user weight while maintaining structural stability.
3Weight of moving object
If camping mattresses are made lightweight for outdoor activities, then the mattress is easier to carry, but the mattress may compromise structural strength
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate utilizes composite construction combining wooden boards for the mounting modules with spring modules for structural support. This composite design provides high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the mattress remains lightweight for portability while maintaining sufficient structural strength to support user weight during camping activities.
