Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric beds are inconvenient to fold in the width direction, requiring multiple expanding bed bodies to be detached and reassembled, which complicates the folding and unfolding process and increases transportation costs.
Innovation Solution
An integrated folding bed design featuring a bed body formed by sequentially connected folding main bed boards and expanding bed boards connected through a hinge, allowing for reduced size during transport while maintaining an integrated structure for easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If expanding bed bodies are detached and separated from the main bed body for folding, then the bed can be folded in width direction, but the folding and assembling procedure becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the main bed body and expanding bed body into a single integrated structure through hinge connections. The hinge allows the expanding bed board to be connected to the main bed board, enabling the bed to fold in the width direction while maintaining a simple, unified structure that eliminates complex detachment and reassembly procedures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple expanding bed bodies are connected one by one to the main bed body, then the bed width can be adjusted, but the transportation cost increases due to complex folding procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple bed boards (main bed board and expanding bed board) into a single integrated folding structure connected by hinges. This allows the entire bed assembly to fold compactly in one coordinated motion, reducing the folded width for transportation while maintaining the ability to adjust bed width, thereby lowering transportation costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge connection enables dynamic folding and unfolding of the bed structure. The expanding bed board can be rotated relative to the main bed board, allowing the bed to transition between extended and folded states efficiently, optimizing transportation space without complex disassembly procedures.
3Device complexity
If the bed body is folded in length direction only, then the structure remains simple, but the width direction folding capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds width direction folding capability to the traditional length direction folding by incorporating hinge connections between the main bed board and expanding bed board. This allows the bed to fold in both length and width directions, transforming a one-dimensional folding system into a two-dimensional folding system without significantly increasing structural complexity.
