The instant application is a continuation of PCT/CN2019/112604, filed on Oct. 22, 2019, which is incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of intelligent mattresses, in particular to a silent air pump box and an intelligent adjustment mattress comprising the silent air pump box.
People spend one third of time on sleep, which shows that sleep is the most basic physiological need of people. However, according to the survey of the World Health Organization, nearly 27% people in the world have sleep problems. Therefore, how to ensure healthy sleep is a topic of great concern.
The mattress, as an important carrier of sleep, will directly affect the sleep quality of the user. The mattress is very important for the improvement of sleep quality. Traditional mattresses are mainly divided into spring mattresses, sponge mattresses, palm mattresses, latex mattresses, water mattresses and airbag mattresses. A good mattress should be structurally designed according to the weight distribution of various parts of the human body and the normal curve of the spine, in which the hardness and softness is an important parameter of the mattress. A mattress that is too soft makes the trunk of the human body droop, which is not good for keeping the spine bent. However, a mattress that is too hard is easy to cause muscle compression and poor blood flow, which leads to an increase in the number of turns during sleep, so that the user cannot get enough rest. In addition, the mattress that is too hard lacks proper elasticity and cannot fit the normal curve of the spine. Long-term use will affect the posture of the human body and hinder the health of the spine. Especially, the bone development of teenager is closely related to the mattress. A mattress that is too hard or too soft will cause spinal dysplasia. However, the softness and hardness of most existing mattresses on the market are fixed. For a double-mattress, for example, a couple may not necessarily be suitable for the same softness and hardness.
At present, sonic mattresses can be customized with different softness and hardness on both sides (left and right), so as to meet different requirements of a couple for the softness and hardness. For example, for some airbag mattresses, the airbags on both sides can be inflated and deflated independently to achieve inconsistent softness and hardness on both sides. However, in fact, different trunk parts and different sleeping postures of the same person have different support requirements for the mattress. For example, when lying flat, due to the curvature of human spine, it is often impossible to get enough support at the waist, while the hip is often the place where the pressure is too heavy. When lying on the side, the shoulder is often the place where the pressure is the most severe. Therefore, we need a mattress that can adjust the softness and hardness of all parts of the mattress in real time according to the sleeping posture of the human body, protect the human spine, relax the muscles and circulate the blood, so as to achieve the healthiest sleep. Further, the air pump in the intelligent adjustment mattress is often too noisy so the sleep of the user is affected.
In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a silent air pump box for a mattress and a partitioned airbag mattress, wherein the mattress can acquire the pressure values of each airbag through air pressure sensing according to different sleeping postures of the human body. The air pump and air valve in the mattress of the present disclosure can independently inflate and deflate each airbag, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the pressure of various parts of the human body.

In order to explain the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clearly, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be briefly introduced hereinafter. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained according to these drawings without paying creative labor.
The technical scheme of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure hereinafter. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without paying creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
The first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a silent air pump box 1, as shown in
The improvement of the silent air pump box of the present disclosure mainly lies in the structural design of the silent box, the silent design of the air pump and the silent design of the air valve. The structural design of the silent box refers to the centralized placement of noise source components, such as the air pump and the air valve, in the silent box, further, the outer box of the silent box is made of materials with high sound resistance, the inner part is made of sound insulation and sound absorption materials, and the sealed isolation design is used, which greatly attenuates the sound intensity. The material with high sound resistance can be solid or liquid. The solid can be metal, metal alloy, metal compounds, such as iron, aluminum, silver, copper, aluminum alloy, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, etc. The liquid can be a compound such as water.
The improvement of the silent design of an air pump lies in minimizing the noise transmitted by the vibration of the silent box itself. The air pump can reduce the transmission of vibration by using relatively soft materials, suspending design or supporting design. In the preferred embodiment, a suspending design is used.
The improvement of the silent design of the air valve in this embodiment of the present disclosure is mainly as follows: first, soft materials are added at the bottom of the air valve to reduce the transmission of vibration; second, a soft start process is introduced through the design of hardware circuits and programs, that is, the voltage is controlled to change slowly during the on/off, so as to achieve the slow switching of the on/off; thereby reducing the noise. There are two methods to control the slow rise of voltage: one is achieved through the circuit, for example, a low-pass filter of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to the output terminal that forms the control voltage, so that the voltage signal rising by steps is converted into a slowly rising voltage; the other is to control the output waveform by programs through the digital-to-analog conversion module (DAC).
Further, two layers of materials (namely a silencer cotton and a sound absorption cotton) are adhered to the inner wall of the box body 3 from inside to outside, further reducing the energy transmitted by noise. The main purpose of the sound absorption cotton is to absorb part of sound wave energy, while the sound insulation cotton is to increase the reflection of sound waves and reduce the penetrating energy. The sound insulation cotton and the sound absorption cotton are commonly used materials. The sound insulation cotton and the sound absorption cotton of the box body 3 enclose a closed space with the sound insulation cotton and the sound absorption cotton of the upper cover 2, respectively, and the sound absorption cotton layer is inside the space.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an intelligent adjustment mattress, which comprises an airbag and the above-said silent air pump box 1.
In particular, the first spring layer 44 is provided with a groove structure at the tail for placing the box body 3 and the control box 47 of the silent air pump box. The main purpose is to reduce the height of the silent air pump box and the control box, so that there is a thicker area thereon to ensure the comfort of a user in this area, and there will be no strong fault of softness and hardness. The upper silent protection layer 46 of the silent air pump box is designed to further optimize the comfort of a user in this area and protect the area when it is impacted. The silent protection layer 46 can use a relatively hard sponge or spring.
In particular, as shown in
The airbag in the embodiment of the present disclosure can use three design schemes: wave airbags, square airbags and stacked airbags.
In particular, the wave airbag can be a large-wave airbag (
In particular, the square airbag comprises a large-square airbag (
In particular, there are two types of stacked airbags, one type is that a single airbag uses a three-layer structure, as shown in
In a specific embodiment, there are two ways to connect and fix the airbag: zipper connection (
Sponges around the airbag are mainly used to fix the airbag and make the outline of the whole mattress clearer. Usually, some relatively hard sponges are used. The role of the middle sponge is to fix the outer edges of the left and right of the airbag, and also to fill the gaps between the left and right airbags to get a better sleep. Airbag gap sponges are mainly used to fill the gap between the front and back of the airbag to reduce the discomfort caused by the uneven surface of the airbag in the inflated state.
The silent air pump box and the control box are placed at the tail of the bed, that is, the position where the feet of the user are located. The advantages of this arrangement are as follows: it brings the user a sense of safety, and at the same time reduces the spread of noise. The airbag inflation ports of the left and right beds are respectively connected to the silent air pump box, while the central control box is mainly used to control the switches of the air pump and the air valve of the silent sound boxes on both sides, as well as air pressure sensing and data processing. The air pressure sensing is mainly used to measure the air pressure of each airbag.
In particular, the airbag in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be made of PVC, TPU, rubber, silica gel, PE, PU, PI, etc., and the softness and hardness of the airbag can be adjusted by inflation and deflation.
In addition to the silent air pump box and multi-area independently adjustable airbags described above, the intelligent adjustment mattress provided by the present disclosure further comprises an air pressure sensor, a data unit and a control unit. The personal sleep information and algorithm parameters of a user are acquired in a pre-entry manner, and the personalized parameter customization of the mattress is completed.
In particular, the above data unit mainly acquires, analyzes and processes the input air pressure analog small signal, and the data unit structurally comprises an air pressure sensing amplifier circuit, an ADC circuit, a main control part, etc. The sensing amplifier circuit mainly filters and amplifies the original analog small signals of each airbag pressure, the ADC circuit performs analog-digital conversion on the amplified signals, and the main control part mainly carries out data preprocessing and algorithm processing and analysis on the digital signals.
In particular, the above control unit mainly controls the air pump and the air valve according to the output of the data unit. The control signal output by the main control unit drives the MOS pipe to control the on/off of the air pump and the air valve.
The personal sleep information and algorithm parameters of a user are acquired in a pre-entry manner, and the personalized parameter customization of the mattress is completed, so that when first using the mattress, the user enters some information of the user, such as some basic information of height, weight, gender and body shape (such as shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, etc. as well as the sizes of clothes and trousers of the user, or the body shape of the user, such as H-type, O-type, V-type, A-type, etc.) as well as the pressure information of basic sleeping posture. That is, according to predetermined postures, such as lying flat, lying sideways, etc., the system will acquire and store the air pressure data of the user in this sleeping posture. The above information will be integrated together as the sleep information of the user, and some basic parameters of the mattress in the adjustment process will be obtained, so as to achieve the purpose of personalized customization of the mattress.
In particular, the data pre-entry method is shown in
Next, in the actual sleep process, the pressure sensor will acquire the real-time pressure data of each airbag, and identify the current sleeping posture of the user through the sleeping posture identification algorithm. For example, the current air pressure matrix of each airbag and the previously pre-entered air pressure matrix of various sleeping postures are subjected to the identification algorithm, and this identification process can be regarded as a pattern identification problem, and further, it can be regarded as a classification problem. The sleeping postures can be identified by the machine learning or deep learning algorithm. After the sleeping posture identification is completed, it is necessary to identify the parts, that is, identify the number of the airbag where the shoulder, back, waist, buttocks, legs, feet and other key parts of the user are located. For example, by looking for the air pressure gradient of each airbag and the current sleeping posture in combination with the prior actual body shape and height data entered by the user, the airbag where the part of the user is located can be judged. For example, for waist identification, the number of the airbag where the waist of the user is located can be roughly judged by the height of the user. Usually, for the waist position, due to the S-shaped curve of the human spine, when lying flat, there is often a larger rising gradient from the waist to the hip. In combination with the actual body shape of the user, the airbag number with the largest increase in body pressure can be found, and the waist position can be located.
After the sleeping posture identification and the part identification of the user are completed, how to inflate and deflate each airbag can be known. As for how much to inflate and deflate, it is required to control the inflation and deflation time in combination with the previously pre-entered adjustment ranges of the user in various sleeping postures, so as to achieve the most comfortable adjustment.
