Modular Bed Frame with Plug-and-Socket Assembly for Easy Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional beds are complicated to assemble and are typically pre-assembled in factories, making them cumbersome for transportation and inconvenient for users to assemble at home.
Innovation Solution
A modular bed design featuring a bed frame unit, support units, panel assemblies, socket units, and plug members that allow for easy assembly by the user, utilizing a plug-and-socket engagement system for secure and adjustable configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the bed is assembled in advance in the factory, then the structural integrity and stability are improved, but the transportation convenience and ease of assembly deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bed is divided into multiple independent modules including head section, foot section, side rails, and support legs. Each module can be separately manufactured, transported, and assembled by the user through simple connection mechanisms, eliminating the need for complex pre-assembly while maintaining structural integrity through standardized joining interfaces.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the bed is assembled in advance in the factory, then the structural integrity is improved, but the transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bed structure is segmented into compact modular components that can be easily transported. The side rails are designed as separate pieces that connect to form the complete frame, reducing transportation dimensions while ensuring structural integrity through robust connection joints.
Solution Approach 2:
Support legs and other components are designed to nest within or attach to the side rails and panel assemblies during transportation, minimizing the overall transport footprint while maintaining complete assembly capability at the destination.

AI summary
A modular adjustable bed includes a bed frame unit, front and rear sliding frames disposed to be slidable on the bed frame unit, a head support frame pivotally mounted on the front sliding frame, a pair of prop links coupling the head support frame to a front frame of the bad frame unit, and a leg support frame pivotally mounted on the rear sliding frame. When the head support frame is driven to be displaced to a head elevated position from a head normal position, the front sliding frame is displaced to a front position from a rear position. The leg support frame can be driven to move from a leg normal position to a leg elevated position.
