Modular Spring Bracket Assembly for Disassembly and Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing large furniture, such as beds, are difficult to disassemble and reassemble, occupy large storage space, and have integrated spring cushions that are not easy to clean, affecting comfort and hygiene.
Innovation Solution
A spring module with a spring bracket that holds conical springs, featuring a base, end cover, and flexible straps, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and a detachable sponge part for cleaning, with modules that can be stacked and nested for compact storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If existing spring cushions are made as integrated non-disassemble cushions, then the structure is simple and stable, but they are large in size and not easy to disassemble and store
Solution Approach 1:
The spring cushion is divided into multiple independent spring modules, each containing a spring, base, and end cover. These modules can be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining the overall cushion's structural stability when connected together.
2Reliability
If independent bagged spring bed mattresses are made as integral products, then the springs are protected from interference, but the product is non-disassemble and not easy to transport
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is segmented into multiple independent spring modules that can function independently while being transportable as separate units. Each module maintains spring independence through its own base and end cover structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring modules can be nested within each other for compact storage and transportation, with smaller modules fitting inside larger ones, reducing the overall space required while maintaining spring independence when assembled.
3Stability of the object's composition
If non-woven fabrics are used to cover bagged springs, then the springs are held in place, but the fabrics are adhered to each other causing springs to not move independently when squeezed
Solution Approach 1:
The non-woven fabric covering is removed entirely. Instead, each spring is held in place by its own base and end cover structure, allowing springs to move independently when squeezed without fabric adhesion interference.
4Device complexity
If the sponge part is integrated into the bed mattress, then the structure is simple, but it cannot be removed making cleaning difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is segmented into separate spring modules and a removable sponge/cover assembly. The sponge part can be detached for cleaning while the spring modules remain in place, combining structural simplicity with ease of maintenance.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The spring module provides stable, comfortable, and independent spring cushion that is easy to clean and store, with modules that can be easily assembled and disassembled, reducing space requirements and improving user convenience.
Implementation Method 1
one or more conical springs, and a spring bracket configured to hold and fix the one or more conical springs
Implementation Method 2
The spring module comprises one or more conical springs, and a spring bracket configured to hold and fix the one or more conical springs
Implementation Method 3
one or more groups of flexible straps... positioned outside the conical spring when the conical spring is held between the corresponding pair of the spring mounting seat and the end cover

AI summary
A spring module includes a spring and a spring bracket for accommodating the spring. The spring bracket may have a base, an end cover and a flexible connecting part connecting the base and the end cover. The spring may be fixed in the spring bracket with a predetermined initial pressure. The spring module may be used in a spring cushion for furniture.
