Electrically powered bed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electric beds with complex structures and high assembly costs are difficult to transport and assemble, leading to increased user costs and reduced user experience due to their bulky packaging and requirement for professional assembly.
Innovation Solution
The electric bed features a modular design with quick assembly devices, such as groove-shaped members and drive device fixation elements, allowing bed planks and frames to be packaged and assembled separately, enabling easy transportation and DIY assembly by users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electric bed is assembled in whole in the factory in advance, then the basic function of lifting bed planks is achieved, but the packaging volume becomes too large for convenient transportation and may be refused by transportation companies
Solution Approach 1:
The electric bed is divided into separate modules: bed frame, adjustable sub-frames, drive devices, and bed planks. These components are packaged separately in smaller boxes rather than assembled as one large unit, reducing packaging volume and making transportation more convenient while maintaining the complete functionality of the bed when assembled by the user.
2Ease of operation
If the electric bed is assembled in whole in the factory in advance, then the bed is ready to use, but professional assembly techniques and increased transportation costs are required
Solution Approach 1:
The bed is segmented into pre-manufactured modules that can be easily assembled by users without professional help. Each module is designed with simple connection interfaces, allowing consumers to assemble the complete functional bed themselves, eliminating the need for factory assembly while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The product is designed to enable user self-assembly through intuitive connection mechanisms and clear instructions. Users can independently assemble the bed frames, attach bed planks, and install drive devices without requiring professional assembly services, thereby reducing assembly costs and increasing accessibility.
3Reliability
If the package of the bed assembled in whole is too large, then the bed provides complete functionality, but extra labor and lifting machines are needed for transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The complete functional bed is divided into multiple smaller packaging units containing different components. These smaller packages can be easily handled and transported without requiring special equipment or additional labor, while still providing the complete functionality when assembled together by the user.

AI summary
Disclosed is an electric bed, which includes: a base bed frame (2), which is horizontally disposed; at least one adjustable sub-frame (31,32), which is rotatably connected to the base bed frame (2) and is rotatable between a horizontal position and a lifting position; a drive device (6), which is capable of driving the at least one adjustable sub-frame (31,32) to rotate; and a plurality of bed planks (11, 12, 13, 14), which are independent from each other and include at least one fixed bed plank and at least one adjustable bed plank. The electric bed further includes a plurality of quick assembly devices (41,42) disposed on the base bed frame (2) and the adjustable sub-frame (31,32) for connecting the fixed bed plank to the base bed frame (2) and fixing the adjustable bed plank to the adjustable sub-frame (31,32). The electric bed of the present application has features of convenient transportation and simple assembling, which can reduce transportation cost, improve transportation efficiency and improve user experience.
