Packaging method for spring mattress and packaging device for spring mattress
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spring mattresses, especially those with detachable elastic modules, face challenges in handling and transportation due to large size, cumbersome disassembly, and potential damage during movement.
Innovation Solution
A packaging method and device that involves packaging the spring mattress into multiple containers, including an upper cushion layer in one container and spring units and bottom plate units in separate containers, with the use of a transport cart for stable stacking and handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If spring mattresses are packaged as a single integrated unit, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the packaging size and transportation cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The spring mattress is divided into multiple independent modules (head section, body section, foot section) that can be packaged separately. Each module contains its own spring units and cushioning layers, allowing them to be transported in smaller, more manageable packages while maintaining functional integrity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging structure uses nested containers where smaller packaging units are placed inside larger ones. The spring units are packaged in individual containers that can be nested within the overall mattress packaging system, optimizing space utilization and reducing total packaging volume.
2Volume of moving object
If spring mattresses are disassembled into separate components for transport, then the packaging size is reduced, but the assembly time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The spring units are pre-assembled into modular sections with connection interfaces prepared in advance. The packaging includes pre-attached fastening mechanisms and alignment features that guide the assembly process, allowing users to quickly reconnect modules without requiring complex tools or procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanisms between modules are designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing for quick attachment and detachment. The spring units incorporate movable connection points that can be easily engaged and disengaged, reducing the time and effort required for assembly and disassembly operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If spring units are packaged separately, then the flexibility in transportation is improved, but the handling complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
All spring unit modules are designed with standardized connection interfaces and uniform packaging dimensions. This universality allows the same handling equipment and transportation methods to be used for all modules regardless of their specific function or position in the mattress, simplifying the overall handling process while maintaining transportation flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging design incorporates adjustable parameters such as modular dimensions and connection configurations that can be adapted to different transportation requirements. The spring units can be packaged in various orientations and configurations while maintaining compatibility with standard transportation equipment, reducing handling complexity despite increased flexibility.

AI summary
A spring mattress includes an upper cushion layer, an elastic module, and a bottom plate, where the elastic module is formed by detachably connecting a plurality of spring units, and the bottom plate is formed by detachably splicing or unfolding a plurality of bottom plate units. A packaging method for the spring mattress includes packaging the plurality of spring units using at least two of a plurality of packaging containers, packaging the upper cushion layer using a single one of the plurality of packaging containers, and packaging the plurality of bottom plate units using two or fewer of the plurality of packaging containers.
