Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional nursing beds with mesh openings have diameters or diagonal lengths that are too small, causing skin irritation and poor air permeability, and the interweaving points are prone to detachment due to their small area and unfirm bonding.

Innovation Solution

A nursing bed featuring a net-shaped fabric with a mesh opening diameter of 2-6 times the warp and weft diameter, a thickness less than 1.1 mm, and a tensile layer for secure attachment to a bearing frame, ensuring the warp and weft do not irritate the skin and providing good air permeability, with interwoven strips and a rectangular frame for adjustable positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the mesh opening diameter is increased to improve air permeability and reduce skin irritation, then the interweaving point area becomes smaller and bonding becomes unfirm

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskin irritationVSAvoidinterweaving point bonding
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of mesh opening diameter to be 2-6 times the diameter of warp and weft, and controls the opening area ratio to 35%-78%, optimizing both air permeability and interweaving point stability without requiring smaller diameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials including net-shaped fabric, tensile layer, and bearing frame to create a multi-layer structure that enhances overall bonding reliability while maintaining appropriate mesh opening dimensions for skin comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the diameter of warp and weft is reduced to less than 0.55 mm to improve air permeability, then the interweaving point area becomes smaller and prone to detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair permeabilityVSAvoidinterweaving point stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the diameter of warp and weft to be less than 0.55 mm while simultaneously controlling the mesh opening diameter to be 2-6 times larger, creating a balanced structure that ensures both air permeability and sufficient interweaving point area for stable bonding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality requirements to different parts: the warp and weft have specific diameter constraints for air permeability, while the mesh opening dimensions are optimized for both breathing and interweaving point stability, creating localized optimizations throughout the structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the net-shaped fabric thickness is reduced to less than 1.1 mm to improve comfort, then the structural strength and secure attachment become compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepatient comfortVSAvoidfabric structural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a thin net-shaped fabric layer (thickness < 1.1 mm) that provides patient comfort while relying on the tensile layer and bearing frame structure to compensate for and provide the necessary structural strength and secure attachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite structure where the thin net-shaped fabric is combined with a tensile layer and bearing frame, allowing the thin fabric to provide comfort while the composite structure as a whole maintains sufficient structural strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
