Vibroacoustic Therapy Bed with Modular Sonic Vibrator Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing beds lack the ability to effectively adjust the body spine and relax the user, leading to issues with pressure relief and sleep quality, particularly due to the difficulties in installing and securing massage components like speakers and motors within the mattress.
Innovation Solution
A bed with a vibroacoustic therapy system that incorporates sonic vibrators directly installed on bed platforms, utilizing a transition piece for secure attachment and vibration transmission, along with a lifting mechanism for adjustable bed positions, controlled via a remote or smart device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If speakers and motors are built into the mattress, then massage function is achieved, but installation becomes troublesome and components may be easily displaced
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is divided into modular sections with independent installation areas for speakers and motors. Each component is installed in a separate module rather than being embedded throughout the entire mattress, making installation easier and components more stable.
Solution Approach 2:
Fastening components and mounting structures are introduced as intermediaries between the speakers/motors and the mattress. These intermediaries provide secure attachment points that prevent displacement while maintaining ease of installation and removal.
2Ease of operation
If the mattress thickness is relatively thin, then comfort is improved, but the user may be affected by the installed speakers and motors when lying on the mattress
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is designed with locally optimized thickness and material properties in different areas. Areas with installed components have enhanced cushioning layers specifically positioned to mask and isolate the hardness from speakers and motors, while other areas maintain the desired thin profile for overall comfort.
3Ease of manufacture
If space for sound boxes and motor installation is reserved during mattress manufacturing, then components can be installed, but the internal structure becomes complicated and fixing becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress internal structure is segmented into functional zones: comfort layers, support layers, and component mounting zones. This segmentation allows for simple, standardized installation areas without complicating the overall mattress structure, as each zone serves a specific purpose with dedicated attachment points.
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 bed provides enhanced relaxation, pain relief, improved circulation, and mobility through the combination of sonic energy massage, low-frequency sound waves, and user-preferred music, while offering convenient installation and adjustable positions for improved comfort.
Implementation Method 1
combines the relaxation power of body sonic energy massage, soothing low-frequency sound waves
Implementation Method 2
The transition piece is capable of vibrating up and down with the sonic vibrator
