Innovation Solution
Integration of a solar energy converter and power storage device into the bed canopy system, enabling the use of solar power to charge electronic devices through a power consumer device that includes a WiFi signal enhancer, USB interface, wireless charging, LED lamp, and acoustic components, along with an emergency charging interface, and a movable canopy and adjustable bed frame for varied user comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a simple combination of canopy and bed is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the functionality is limited and cannot meet diversified user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into the bed system including solar energy conversion, power storage, wireless charging, WiFi enhancement, LED illumination, and acoustic functions. The power storage device and various power consumer devices enable the bed to serve multiple purposes beyond simple shelter and seating, directly addressing the need for diversified functionality while maintaining a unified bed structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If solar energy converter and power storage device are integrated into the canopy, then power supply functionality is added, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the solar energy converter, power storage device, and multiple power consumer devices into an integrated bed system. The controller coordinates these components as a unified system, managing power generation, storage, and distribution across wireless charging, LED lamps, acoustic devices, and WiFi enhancement functions, thereby adding power supply capability while organizing complexity through systematic integration
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple power consumer devices are added to the bed, then diversified functions are realized, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the electronic functionality into separate power consumer devices (wireless charging device, LED lamps, acoustic devices, WiFi signal enhancer) that can be independently manufactured and then integrated into the bed system. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized and manufactured separately, reducing overall manufacturing complexity while still achieving diversified electronic functions
