Inflatable Bed Ring Frame Structure to Prevent Sideways Turning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current inflatable beds have a complex structure and are not economical, with side walls bulging outward and a high likelihood of turning sideways when in use, failing to meet user needs effectively.
Innovation Solution
The inflatable bed features a simplified structure with left and right ring frames that connect to the upper, bottom, front, and rear pieces, forming a hollow ring structure to prevent bulging and sideways turning, using a tensioning assembly and air valve for inflation, and optionally includes a raised backrest, pillow, and item hook for enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If ring-shaped frame structures formed by drawstring are provided in the gasbags to tighten the gasbags, then the problem of bulging is solved and the inflatable bed is prevented from turning sideways, but the structure becomes complicated and is not economical
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the inflatable bed into multiple independent pieces (upper piece, bottom piece, front piece, rear piece, left piece, right piece) that are connected together. This segmentation allows each piece to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall structure by eliminating the need for complex ring-shaped frame structures while maintaining stability and preventing sideways turning.
2Volume of moving object
If the inflatable bed expands outwards after being inflated, then the inflatable bed achieves volume expansion, but the side walls bulge and the bed is more likely to turn sideways
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses flexible inflatable pieces with integrated ring frames formed by connecting edges to create a stable structure. The flexible nature of the inflatable pieces allows volume expansion while the integrated ring frame structure prevents excessive bulging and sideways turning, achieving both volume expansion and stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the current inflatable bed structure is used, then the bed can be inflated and used, but the function is relatively single and cannot meet the needs of users better
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates multiple functional elements into the inflatable bed structure, including raised backrests formed by the upper piece and rear piece connection, item hooks on the outer side walls for hanging belongings, and integrated pillow support areas. These multi-functional features enhance user needs satisfaction while the piecewise construction with connecting edges maintains structural stability.
