The utility model relates to the technical field of inflatable products, in particular to a dual-chamber air bed.
At present, existing air beds in the market are generally not provided with a single independent peripheral air chamber, and are only formed with an inflation chamber. Therefore, a bed body of this kind is rather unstable, and people are apt to fall once they sit on the bed. In addition, since air pressures and forces of the middle and the edge of the air bed easily tend to be uneven due to the fact that the air bed tends to expand to the middle, people are apt to slide down.
In addition, the air beds in the prior art are generally provided with drawstrings in the inflation chamber so as to enable the air bed to form a certain shape and have a flat surface. The drawstrings used by traditional inflatable mattress are all surface sheets and bottom sheets vertically connected to the inflatable mattress, and the drawstrings may exert pulling forces in a vertical direction on the surface sheets and the bottom sheets upon inflation of the inflatable mattress. However, the inflatable mattress with such a structure has the following deficiencies. Firstly, a joint seam at which a drawstring connects a surface sheet or a bottom sheet is relatively concentrated with force, so that a joint where the drawstring connects the surface sheet or the bottom sheet easily breaks, or the surface sheet or the bottom sheet is torn apart. Secondly, the bed body is easy to be partially collapsed or convex upwards to be inclined without enough stability, thereby affecting the using effect and service life.
The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect in the prior art, provides a dual-chamber air bed which is simultaneously arranged with a bed body air chamber and peripheral air chambers that are inflated respectively, so that the bed has more stability as an beneficial effect.
The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows. A dual-chamber air bed includes an air pump, a bed body air chamber and peripheral air chambers. The air bed is enclosed by a top surface, a bottom surface and a side wall. An upper supplementary-material encircling piece is provided between the top surface and the side wall; a lower supplementary-material encircling piece is provided between the bottom surface and the side wall; the peripheral air chambers are enclosed by the top surface, the side wall and the upper supplementary-material encircling piece, or by the bottom surface, the side wall and the lower supplementary-material encircling piece; and the bed body air chamber is enclosed by the top surface, the bottom surface, the side wall, the upper supplementary-material encircling piece, and the lower supplementary-material encircling piece. The air pump is provided with two inflation-deflation devices, which are independently operated and connect the bed body air chamber and the peripheral air chambers respectively to perform independent inflation and deflation on the bed body air chamber and the peripheral air chambers.
According to the technical solution, the arrangement of the peripheral air chambers enables the periphery of the air bed to be more stable and firm, and can effectively prevent people from sliding off once people lie on the bed. The arrangement of two independently operated inflation-deflation devices to perform independent inflation and deflation on the peripheral air chambers and the bed body air chamber can better control an amount of gas required by the peripheral air chambers and the bed body air chamber and meet the demands of people.
In the prior art, when the edge of the air bed is subjected to force, a bed body is easy to be partially collapsed or tilt without enough stability due to limited support strength of a side wall and drawstrings. According to the technical solution, a mattress body is enclosed by the top surface, the side wall and the bottom surface so as to form a cuboid shape, and the peripheral air chambers form bed edges of the air bed, which effectively improves the supporting strength of the bed edges. An upper bed edge is higher than the other positions of the top surface so as to achieve the function of intercepting and limiting, so that a quilt can be effectively prevented from slipping off, and a user can be prevented from sliding off from a mattress during sleep. The arrangement of a lower bed edge increases friction between the mattress and the bottom surface, which achieves greater grip force of the mattress body that grasps the ground with more stability and realizes slip-resistance and increasing the comfort of use.
Further, the inflation-deflation device connected with the peripheral air chambers is a peripheral inflation-deflation device, and the peripheral air chambers are divided into an upper peripheral air chamber and a lower peripheral air chamber. An air outlet of the peripheral inflation-deflation device is communicated with the upper peripheral air chamber and the lower peripheral air chamber respectively.
Further, the upper peripheral air chamber is higher than the other positions of the top surface so as to achieve the function of intercepting and limiting, so that the quilt can be effectively prevented from slipping off, and the user can be prevented from sliding off from the mattress during sleep. The arrangement of the lower peripheral air chambers increases the friction between the air bed and the bottom surface so as to achieve greater grip force of the air bed that grasps the ground with more stability, thereby realizing slip-resistance and increasing the comfort of use.
Further, the air outlet of the peripheral inflation-deflation device is provided with a double-pass device having two outlets corresponding to two tubes that are respectively connected with the upper peripheral air chamber and the lower peripheral air chamber.
The technical solution ingeniously arranges two tubes at the air outlet of the peripheral inflation-deflation device, so that inflation and deflation can be performed on the upper peripheral air chamber and the lower peripheral air chamber without an additional peripheral inflation-deflation device, and the cost is saved as a beneficial effect.
Each inflation amount of the upper peripheral air chamber and the lower peripheral air chamber can be controlled by a space size of the air outlet occupied by the tube, in which the tube occupying a larger space of the air outlet obtains more air intake during the same time and has a larger hardness value of the corresponding air chamber.
Further, an inflation-deflation device connected with the bed body air chamber is a bed body inflation-deflation device, the air pump is provided on the side wall of the bed body air chamber, and an air outlet of the bed body inflation-deflation device is provided in the bed body air chamber.
According to the technical solution, the peripheral inflation-deflation device is communicated with the peripheral air chambers through tubes, and the bed body inflation-deflation device is in direct communication with the bed body air chamber, so that different air chambers can be respectively inflated and deflated by the same air pump, which has beneficial effects of being simple, convenient, and cost saving.
Further, drawstrings are provided in the bed body air chamber and are at least partially provided in the bed body air chamber in an inclined manner.
According to the technical solution, the top surface of the mattress body corresponds to the surface that the user lies on, the bottom surface of the mattress body corresponds to the surface in contact with the ground, and the drawstrings act to restrain the mattress body from becoming a bed body in a flat shape. However, due to a consistent force direction, the vertically arranged drawstrings still can cause projections of the top surface and the periphery of the mattress body, that is, bread-like projections are formed, thus leading to poor aesthetics of the mattress. Vertical lines at the top of the drawstrings and that at the bottom of the drawstrings are not on the same straight line, and force bearing points of the top surface and the bottom surface are spaced apart from each other, so that the top surface and the bottom surface of the mattress body can have better constraints and can function to limit projections of the top surface and the periphery of the mattress body. Meanwhile, the top surface and the bottom surface of the mattress body can receive more even forces and have better stability.
Further, the drawstrings are connected with the top surface and the bottom surface of the bed body air chamber respectively, and form included angles with the bottom surface, in which the included angles gradually increase from both sides of the bed body air chamber to the middle of the bed body air chamber and tend to be right angles.
Further, an angle range of each included angle a formed by a drawstring and the bottom surface is 60 to 90 degrees.
Further, elasticity of the top surface of the air bed is greater than that of the bottom surface.
Greater elasticity leads to a lower PVC hardness value, a larger expansion coefficient, a greater elasticity degree, and an easier tendency to be deformed. A parameter PHR means the parts of added rubber or resin per 100 parts (by mass) in PVC material, and a PVC hardness degree of the PVC is indirectly indicated by the parts of indirect adding of the rubber or the resin. According to the air bed in the present technical solution, the PVC hardness degree of the top surface is 35 to 45 PHR, and the PVC hardness degree of the bottom surface is 55 to 75 PHR. In this way, the air bed is kept flat with pleasing appearance, the surface of the air bed is prevented from forming the bread-like projections, which can better match and adapt to the hardness degree and the elasticity of the bed body.
Further, the PVC hardness degree of a bonding layer of the top surface is 40 PHR, and the PVC hardness degree of a bonding layer of the bottom surface is 60 to 70 PHR.
According to the air bed in the present technical solution, the top surface of the bed body is formed by bonding a flock layer and a PVC/TPU layer, both the bottom surface and the side wall of the mattress body are formed by bonding a cloth layer and a PVC/TPU layer, in which the flock layer of the top surface is provided outside the PVC/TPU layer, the cloth layers on the bottom surface and the side wall are provided outside the PVC/TPU layer, and the PVC/TPU layers between the top surface and the side wall and between the bottom surface and the side wall are welded to each other to form a mattress structure.
By arranging the flock layer on the top surface of the air bed, noise generated by friction between PVC material and human body can be reduced. In addition, the flock on the top surface of the air bed enables the air bed to be more delicate with air ventilation, which provides a more comfortable feeling when human skin touches the bed and improves the comfort of use. Moreover, the cloth layer can reduce the noise generated when the air bed is touched, avoid rupture, and improve service life of the air bed. In addition, an air bed in the prior art tends to expand into an arc shape after inflation, which results in that the mattress body has bread-like projections, the air bed is not flat enough and does not have pleasing appearance, and the service life is affected. The arrangement of the cloth layer limits the expansion of the PVC/TPU layer, so that the stretch of the whole air bed is flatter with more pleasing appearance, a technical effect that the whole air bed is not easily deformed is achieved, the hardness degree of the air bed is improved, a higher comfort degree of the air bed is realized, and the service life is prolonged.
Further, the cloth layer is made of nylon, or polyester, or polyester-cotton blended fabrics, or cotton cloth, or mesh cloth.
Further, the drawstrings are in a sheet-like or columnar or ring structure. The sheet-like drawstrings are provided along inner circumference of the mattress body, and have a curved or linear design at a joint of the top surface/bottom surface of the mattress body. The drawstrings in the columnar or ring structure are uniformly provided in the mattress body and are arranged in a matrix form. The bed drawstrings in the present technical solution are not limited to the structural designs described above, and can be in other design styles.
Further, the upper supplementary-material encircling piece and the lower supplementary-material encircling piece are made of PVC/TPU material, and are successively welded or bonded end to end to enclose a rectangular shape by PVC/TPU sheet materials.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows.
(1) The arrangement of the peripheral air chambers enables the periphery of the air bed to be more stable and firm, and can effectively prevent people from sliding off once people lie on the bed. The arrangement of two independently operated inflation-deflation devices is used to perform independent inflation and deflation on the peripheral air chambers and the bed body air chamber, which can better control an amount of gas required by the peripheral air chambers and the bed body air chamber and meet the demands of people.
(2) According to the technical solution, the drawstrings are obliquely arranged, so that the force bearing points of the top surface and the bottom surface with the same drawstring are spaced apart from each other. Therefore, the top surface and the bottom surface can receive more even forces, and bread-like outward projection degrees of a surface sheet and periphery of the mattress are greatly reduced to achieve a more pleasing appearance of the mattress body. Meanwhile, the drawstrings are arranged to be gradually inclined outwards from the top surface to the bottom surface and have increasing oblique angles from center to the outside, so that the bottom surface of the mattress grasps the ground with more stability, and the stability and flatness of the mattress body is guaranteed.
