Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for adjusting a lying or sitting element a support frame and transverse to this elastic bands adjustable pretension, which varies by hanging up a person deformed below.
- the contour of the loaded element determined by elastic bands, their pretension is adjustable. This results in the possibility of the bed element for the individual Optimally adjust users.
- an ideal one for the user Contour of the deformed lying surface and an ideal pressure distribution can be determined and that while the user rests on the bed element, both the deformation the belts measured as the contact pressure and by changing the pretension be approximated to the desired value.
- the ideal contour of the deformed lying surface is not reasonably determined by itself defined theoretical considerations, but by measuring the shape and especially the back shape of the user. Ultrasonic measuring devices set here suitable tool.
- the bed element has a support frame 1 with longitudinal support parts 5, on which transversely extending elastic stretchable bands 2 are attached. Fastening the straps 2 on the support frame 1 takes place at least on one side of the band 2 via a Support frame arranged clamping device 6. By adjusting the Tensioning screw 4 of the tensioning device becomes a profile piece 3 on which the band is attached, moved in the direction of arrow 7, so that a tensile force on the corresponding Band 2 is exercised, through which the band is biased.
- the prestresses of the individual belts are set differently. there one proceeds according to the invention in such a way that the user places it on the support and the Deflection of the individual bands through one below the bed element positioned observer is measured. At the same time, pressure sensors 8, only one of which is indicated by way of example, the contact pressure Corresponding signals are transmitted to an evaluation device. Adjusting the Setup then takes place in such a way that the tensioning screws 4 initially be rotated until the intended contour is reached. Then all those Tensioning screws 4 are adjusted in which the pressure deviates too much from the ideal has been determined. The process can be repeated until the best possible Approximation to the desired pressure and shape distribution and thus an optimal one Compromise is reached.
- Known mats can be used for the intended pressure measurement, which contain a grid of sensors and the pressure distribution in different Play colors on a screen.
- Such mats are made by Novel GmbH in Kunststoff distributed. This makes it easy to assign any pressure peaks to the responsible, overly pre-tensioned bands 2 and a quick correction possible.
