Modular Spring Assembly for Disassemblable Elastic Mattresses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elastic mattresses are difficult to disassemble and reassemble, occupying large storage and transportation spaces, and are costly with lower stability during use.
Innovation Solution
A spring module group comprising a connecting base and elastic modules with buckling grooves and pivoted connections allows for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling modules to be stacked and sleeved together, reducing space requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If elastic mattresses are made as integrated single-piece products, then structural stability and comfort are improved, but disassembly and assembly become difficult and storage/transportation space increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic mattress is divided into multiple independent modules, each containing a connecting base, elastic element, and cushioning layer. These modules can be disassembled and reassembled, transforming the integrated structure into separable units that occupy less storage space while maintaining structural stability through the connecting bases with positioning structures.
2Ease of operation
If elastic mattresses are made as modular units, then disassembly and assembly become easier, but structural stability decreases and comfort is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple independent modules are combined through connecting bases that feature positioning structures (such as positioning holes and positioning protrusions) and fastening mechanisms. This merging approach allows the modules to be easily assembled while maintaining structural stability, as the positioning structures ensure proper alignment and the fastening mechanisms secure the connections.
3Ease of manufacture
If elastic mattresses are made as single-piece products, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but customization of mattress sizes and configurations becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is segmented into standardized modules that can be manufactured independently and then assembled in various configurations. This segmentation enables customization of mattress sizes and shapes by combining different numbers and types of modules, while each individual module can be manufactured using simple, standardized processes.
4Ease of operation
If elastic mattresses are designed for frequent disassembly, then mobility requirements are met, but the mattresses are discarded during transportation even when still usable
Solution Approach 1:
The modules are designed with connecting bases that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, allowing the mattress to be easily transported by separating modules. However, when needed, the modules can be rapidly recombined into a complete, usable mattress structure, preventing the need to discard functional mattresses during relocation.
