Modular Spring Connecting Structure for Detachable Mattress Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elastic bed mattresses with individually packaged springs are difficult to disassemble, transport, and clean, leading to instability and reduced durability due to weak detachable connections between springs and mounting racks.
Innovation Solution
A spring connecting structure with a mounting rack and elastic modules that allow detachable assembly, featuring sliding paths and mounting rails for stable mounting, enabling easy disassembly and firm connection, and a mesh structure for enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If springs are packaged in independent pockets and covered with foam rubber to form an elastic bed mattress, then the mattress provides good comfort and support, but it cannot be disassembled or easily transported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the elastic mattress into modular components: mounting racks that form a frame structure, elastic modules containing springs that can be independently installed, and removable fabric covers. This segmentation allows the mattress to be disassembled into transportable parts while maintaining structural integrity when assembled, resolving the contradiction between disassembly capability and structural stability.
2Ease of operation
If detachable elastic components are installed in the bed mattress to facilitate transportation and cleaning, then the mattress can be disassembled, but the detachable connection between springs and mounting rack is not firm resulting in poor stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested connection structure where the elastic module is inserted into a mounting portion of the mounting rack. The mounting portion includes a mounting cavity that receives the elastic module, with positioning structures that nest together to create a firm detachable connection. This nested design allows easy installation and removal while maintaining connection stability during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces mounting racks as an intermediary component between the springs (elastic modules) and the overall mattress structure. The mounting rack provides a stable framework with mounting portions that securely hold the elastic modules, enabling both detachability for transport/cleaning and firm connection for stability during use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If springs are individually packaged in independent pockets, then each spring can move independently to fit body curves, but the mattress cannot be disassembled for cleaning or relocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mattress into modular elastic modules, each containing springs that can move independently within their module. These modules are mounted on a detachable rack system, allowing the entire mattress to be disassembled for transport while maintaining spring independence for body contouring support.
