Description

Air Mattress

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air mattress, and more particularly, to an air mattress having a blowing function of conveying air to a mattress on which a user lies.

Conventionally, a bed for a bedroom is used by arranging various types of mattresses such as a mattress using earth such as wood, an ocher, a mattress using an elastic material such as a spring and a rubber, or the like on a bed frame. Such a mattress is designed to induce sleeping more comfortably and comfortably at the time of user's sleeping.

However, in this type of general bed mattress, the temperature is maintained at ambient temperature regardless of the ambient temperature at user sleep. Therefore, the higher the ambient temperature, the higher the temperature of the mattress, and the lower the ambient temperature, the lower the mattress temperature, so it is too hot or too cold in summer or winter, making it difficult for the user to sleep comfortably.

In order to compensate for the disadvantages of such conventional bed mattresses, an electric mattress which can heat the mattress by arranging the heating wires in a predetermined form inside thereof and connecting the electric power by connecting the electric power, or a plate type tube which can hold water, And water mattresses of the type that can keep the temperature of the mattress cool can be maintained.

This type of mattress has the advantage of being able to keep the temperature in the middle of the summer or in the middle of winter, so that it can maintain a more comfortable sleeping surface.

Electric mattresses, however, are disadvantageous in that they generate a large amount of electromagnetic waves, which can be detrimental to health and electric power consumption. In addition, electric mattresses have a serious shortcoming, such as the possibility of a short circuit between the heating wires arranged inside when the electric mattress is piled up, and in this case, the fire can occur.

The water mattress is most often used to fill water inside a plate-shaped tube and also to heat or cool the temperature, and in this case, it has the same problems as the electric mattress described above.

In addition, the water mattress has a problem in that when the tube is torn or broken, there is a large risk of electric shock because the water mattress contains water therein.

It is to be understood, however, that the appended drawings illustrate the present invention in order to more easily explain the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. You will know.

In describing the embodiments of the present invention, it is to be noted that elements having the same function are denoted by the same names and numerals, but are substantially not identical to elements of the prior art.

Also, the terms used in the present application are used only to describe certain embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the present application, the terms "comprises" or "having" and the like are used to specify that there is a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a component or a combination thereof described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

Hereinafter, an air mattress according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an air mattress according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing an air mattress according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the air mattress according to the first embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a mat unit 200, an air transfer unit 100, and a blower 300.

The mat unit 200 is a part providing a space for the user to lie down, and may be made porous and air permeable so that air can freely move. Thus, the air moved through the air conveyance unit 100 reaches the user located at the upper portion of the mat unit 200, so that the user can take a comfortable sleep. In particular, as the mat portion 200, a network structure in which wires are irregularly entangled can be applied.

Since the mat unit 200 is formed as a mesh structure, the mat unit 200 has an elastic force to support the user's body when laid down, and can be returned to the original state when the user is awake. In addition, the body part is dispersed by the mat part 200, so that the effect of preventing the bedsore can be expected, and a comfortable sleeping surface can be provided.

Here, the body pressure is a pressure generated on the contact surface of the object when the user's body touches the object, and the body pressure distribution affects the comfort of the body. Particularly, the body pressure dispersion can be an important factor for determining the quality of the sleep.

In general, the body pressure of the hip part is the highest in all sleeping positions, and the body pressure of the hip part occupies more than 40% especially in the lying position. And, if the body pressure is not appropriately distributed in the head, trunk, hips, and legs, the waist and spine become excessively bent or flattened, and the user may feel inconvenience.

Fig. 3 is a view showing the bending of the user's spine according to the characteristics of the mat portion. Fig.

As shown in FIG. 3, depending on the strength of the mat portion, the body pressure dispersion effect may vary, and the spine may be affected. When the mat portion is too soft, the entire mat portion is bent when the user lies down as shown in Fig. 3 (a), so that the user can not support the user's body properly. If the mat portion is too hard, The user can feel the back pain because it can not cope with the bending of the additional body.

3 (c), the mat unit 200 of the present embodiment has a strength that can be handled according to the bending of the user's body, so that the body pressure can be appropriately dispersed. The mat unit 200 of the present embodiment allows the vertebrae to maintain the S-shape if the user lies directly, and the vertebrae to maintain the position when the user is lying sideways. This makes the user feel comfortable and can improve the sleep quality.

The mat portion 200 may be placed on the upper portion of the support portion 120. Particularly, the peripheral portion 114 of the lower frame 110 may extend upwardly above the supporting portion 120 to form a space for receiving the mat portion 200 on the upper portion of the supporting portion 120. At the same time, it is possible to prevent air from being discharged to the side of the mat unit 200 when the side surface of the mat unit 200 is intercepted.

The lower frame 110 may be placed on top of the bed frame in the form of a square box, or may be placed on the floor. At least one side of the lower frame 110 is formed with an inflow opening 112 through which air flows, and an inner space opened toward the upper side is formed.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of inlet ports 112 may be formed in the lower frame 110 in different directions. For example, an inlet 112 may be formed on each side of the lower frame 110 in the form of a rectangular box. A plurality of inlet ports 112 may be formed on one side surface.

A blower 300 to be described later is connected to the inlet 112 to allow the outside air to flow through the inlet 112 and to move to the entire air conveying unit 100. As a result, a plurality of the inlet 112 are formed in different directions There is an advantage that the blower 300 can be installed regardless of the characteristics of the space.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a blower of an air mattress according to a first embodiment of the present invention installed at a position different from that of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a blower of an air mattress according to a first embodiment of the present invention FIG. 6 is a view showing a state where a blower of an air mattress according to the first embodiment of the present invention is laid down. FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the air mattress according to the first embodiment of the present invention is installed at a higher position than the blower.

Depending on the shape of the space in which the air mattress of the present embodiment is installed, the ventilator 300 should be placed in the bedside in some space and the ventilator 300 should be placed under the floor in some space. In some cases, the bed may be higher or lower than the blower. If only one inlet 112 is formed, a very long connecting member 390 may be required to connect the blower 300 and the air transfer unit 100.

However, since a plurality of inflow openings 112 are formed in the lower frame 110 in various directions as in the present embodiment, the blower 300 is installed regardless of the shape of the space as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 to 7 .

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, only one blower may be connected to the air transfer part, and the blower may be installed at a position different from that shown in FIG. 1 as shown in FIG. 4, A plurality of blowers 300 may be simultaneously connected to one air conveyance unit 100 to increase the flow rate. Further, the blower may be laid down as shown in Fig. Further, even when the height of the bed is higher than the height of the blower as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to compensate for the height by the connecting member including the corrugated pipe, and thus it can be installed in various spaces and heights.

The air transfer unit 100 is provided with a cap 118 for opening and closing the inlet 112 so that the unused inlet 112 of the plurality of the inlet 112 is blocked by the cap 118, Can be blocked. The cap 118 may be connected by a wire (not shown) or the like around the inlet 112 of the lower frame 110. Thus, the cap 118 can be prevented from being lost.

The inner space of the lower frame 110 can communicate with the inlet 112. In the air mattress of this embodiment, a plurality of inflow ports 112 are formed in the lower frame 110, so that the inner space can communicate with the plurality of inflow ports 112.

The support portion 120 is received in the inner space of the lower frame 110 to support a load applied from the upper portion of the mat portion 200. At the same time, the air introduced through the inlet 112 is formed to be able to move to the mat unit 200. Thus, the air introduced through the inlet 112 and moved through the air conveyance unit 100 can reach the user located at the upper portion of the mat unit 200.

In this embodiment, the support portion 120 may have a shape similar to an oblique convex egg plate in which the depression 122 and the protrusion 124 are alternately formed. The depression 122 is in contact with the lower frame 110 and the protrusion 124 is in contact with the mattress 200. The depression depth of the depression 122 may be formed deeper than the protrusion height of the protrusion 124.

The depression 122 and the protrusion 124 may be formed with an air movement hole 126 through which air can move. That is, the air is introduced into the space between the depressions 122 through the inlet 112 and then moved to the mat unit 200 through the air transfer holes 126 formed in the depression 122 and the projection 124 To reach the user. Thereby, the user can take a comfortable sleep.
