Structure of a plurality of spring modules having mesh spring sleeves and elastic cushion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing elastic cushions in furniture, such as beds and sofa beds, face limitations in elasticity due to non-woven fabric sleeves that restrict spring movement and cause discomfort. Additionally, these cushions are difficult to disassemble and reassemble, making them cumbersome for storage and transportation.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a structure of multiple spring modules with mesh spring sleeves, allowing for enhanced elasticity and stability. Each spring module consists of a connecting base and elastic modules with spring fixing seats and mesh spring sleeves that accommodate conical springs. The mesh-hole structure in the spring sleeves provides deformation space and supports the conical springs, ensuring independent vertical movement and improved comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If non-woven fabric sleeves are used to encase springs, then spring stability is improved, but spring elasticity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces rigid non-woven fabric sleeves with flexible mesh sleeves that have elastic properties. The mesh structure allows the sleeves to stretch and contract with the springs, maintaining spring stability while preserving elasticity. The mesh material acts as a flexible container that moves with the spring rather than restraining it.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses mesh material with open pores instead of solid non-woven fabric. The porous mesh structure provides deformation space for the springs while maintaining structural integrity. The gaps in the mesh allow the springs to expand and contract freely, solving the contradiction between stability and elasticity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If integrated elastic cushion structure is used, then structural stability is improved, but ease of assembly and disassembly is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the elastic cushion into multiple independent spring modules, each containing a spring, mesh sleeve, and connecting components. These modular units can be assembled and disassembled independently while maintaining the overall structural stability when connected. The segmentation allows for easy transportation and storage while preserving the integrated structure's functionality.
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
This design increases the overall elasticity of the spring pocket while maintaining stability, enhances comfort by allowing independent vertical movement of the spring modules, and facilitates easy assembly and disassembly for convenient storage and transportation.
Implementation Method 1
The spring sleeve has a mesh-hole structure... allows for a certain amount of deformation space when the conical spring undergoes elastic deformation... maximizing release of elastic deformation of the spring
Implementation Method 2
the spring sleeve comprises an annular opening, a top cover, and a plurality of elastic support strips... the plurality of elastic support strips intersect to form the mesh-hole structure
