Elastic module unit, elastic cushion, and furniture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elastic pads in furniture have poor comfort, stability, and occupy large storage space, with non-detachable designs causing inconvenience in transportation and storage.
Innovation Solution
An elastic module unit with splicing side edges and connecting structures allows for quick assembly and disassembly, forming an elastic cushion with open sides for improved ventilation and reduced storage space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an enclosed elastic pad with integrated side surrounding cover is used, then structural stability is improved, but ventilation is poor and storage space is large
Solution Approach 1:
The enclosed side surrounding cover is divided into a removable first side surrounding cover and a base structure with connecting structures. This segmentation allows the cover to be detached for ventilation while maintaining structural stability when assembled, directly resolving the contradiction between stability and ventilation.
2Reliability
If a non-detachable integrated elastic pad is used, then structural integrity is improved, but assembly and disassembly convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structures are designed to provide both connection and disconnection functions dynamically. The first side surrounding cover can be connected to maintain structural integrity during use, and disconnected conveniently when assembly or disassembly is needed, resolving the contradiction between structural integrity and operational convenience.
3Reliability
If an enclosed elastic pad with full side surrounding cover is used, then structural completeness is improved, but storage space efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The side surrounding cover is segmented into a removable first side surrounding cover and a base structure. When stored, the cover can be detached and the components can be compacted or nested, significantly reducing storage space while maintaining structural completeness during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The first side surrounding cover can be temporarily removed or detached during storage to reduce occupied space, then recovered and reconnected when the elastic pad is ready for use, resolving the contradiction between structural completeness and storage efficiency.
4Reliability
If an enclosed elastic pad is used, then structural enclosure is improved, but transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structures enable dynamic configuration where the first side surrounding cover can be connected for structural enclosure during use, and disconnected for convenient transportation. This dynamic capability resolves the contradiction between structural enclosure and transportation convenience.

AI summary
An elastic cushion and an elastic module unit for furniture. The elastic module unit configured for assembling into an elastic cushion, the elastic module unit comprising a fixed base plate and a plurality of elastic modules disposed on the fixed base plate; wherein a side edge of the fixed base plate is provided with a second connecting structure configured to releasably connect an edge fastening device which releasably connects a pad layer of the elastic cushion with the second connecting structure such that the elastic cushion can be formed as an elastic cushion with fully opened sides by means of the edge fastening device, thereby improving the comfort of the elastic cushion, improving the ventilation of the elastic cushion, meanwhile facilitating assembling and disassembling of the elastic cushion, and effectively reducing the storage space of the elastic cushion.
