The user-customized sleep assistance bed (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention is divided into upper, middle, and lower zones according to the user's body part, and the support plate of each zone moves up and down depending on the characteristics of the body part in charge. , It is possible to perform at least one movement during fixation to adjust the balance of the user's body parts and assist the user in getting optimal sleep.

The user-customized sleep aid bed 1 according to this embodiment includes a bed frame 10 that forms the basic skeleton of a general bed.

The user-customized sleep aid bed (1) is largely divided into an upper region (11) corresponding to the user's head, a lower region (13) corresponding to the user's feet, and a middle region (13) corresponding to the torso, based on the state in which the user lies on it. 12) It can be divided into three zones. Hereinafter, the description will be made by setting the head direction forward and the foot direction backward while the user is lying down.

The upper region 11 is a region corresponding to the upper part of the user's body, including the head and neck. The upper part of the body corresponds to a body part that moves relatively little during sleep, and basic posture control can be achieved through lifting and lowering movements in the upper region 11.

The upper section 11 includes a horizontal board-type upper plate 20 that has a predetermined width in the front-back direction and is long in the left and right directions, and an upper drive unit 21 that lifts and drives the upper plate 20. do.

In the drawing, a case where two upper plates 20 are arranged in parallel within the upper area 11 is illustrated, but this corresponds to one embodiment, and if necessary, the upper plates have a narrower width and three or more It may be provided and arranged in parallel.

The upper driving unit 21 is fastened to a pair of upper plate separation prevention parts 220 that support both edges of the upper plate 20 and the middle of the upper plate 20 to press the upper plate 20 in the vertical direction. It includes an upper plate lifting part 210.

In the drawing, a case where a pair of upper plate lifting units 210 are provided to press the left and right symmetrical points is shown, but this corresponds to one embodiment and only one upper plate lifting unit with sufficient driving force may be provided. Of course it exists.

The upper plate lifting part 210 includes a hinge base 211 fixed to the bottom of the bed frame 10, an electric cylinder 212 hinged on the hinge base 211, and sliding on the electric cylinder 212. It includes a piston rod 213 that is possibly coupled. The upper end of the piston rod 213 may be a hinge fastening portion 214 that is hinged to the lower surface of the upper plate 20. A bracket is provided on the lower part of the electric cylinder 212, so that it can be easily coupled to the hinge base 211.

The electric cylinder 212 is operated according to a control signal to slide the piston rod 213 in the up and down direction, thereby raising and lowering the hinged upper plate 20.

A height measurement sensor (not shown) may be installed on the side of the electric cylinder 212. The height measurement sensor may include a slide pipe whose upper end is coupled to the upper plate 20, particularly the hinge fastening portion 214, and moves linearly in the up and down direction. By measuring the length and short axis of the slide pipe, it is possible to estimate the degree of sliding of the piston rod 213 by the electric cylinder 212, that is, the height of the upper plate 20.

When the pair of upper plate lifting units 210 are arranged in a symmetrical structure, the operations of the pair of upper plate lifting units 210 need to be synchronized in order to raise and lower the upper plate 20. However, the operation of the pair of upper plate lifting units 210 may be slightly distorted due to manufacturing errors, driving errors, etc. In this case, there may be a difference in the lifting force transmitted to each point of the upper plate 20, which may cause twisting. In this embodiment, this can be solved through the hinge base 211 and the hinge fastening portion 214.

Even when the piston rod 213 does not transmit force vertically to the upper plate 20 due to the hinge base 211 and the hinge fastening portion 214, the upper plate 20 is lifted and lowered while remaining horizontal. can do. The hinge fastening portion 214 is slidably fastened to the upper plate 20 within a predetermined range, or the hinge base 211 is slidably fastened to the bottom surface of the bed frame 10 within a predetermined range, forming a pair Among the upper plate lifting units 210, the upper plate lifting unit 210, which operates relatively quickly, can be switched from a vertical state to an inclined state, thereby maintaining the horizontal state of the upper plate 20.

The upper plate separation prevention unit 220 includes a support block 221 fixed to the bottom surface of the bed frame 10, a guide pillar 222 erected perpendicular to the support block 221, and a guide pillar 222. It includes a slider 223 that slides in the vertical direction. The upper end of the slider 223 may be a hinge support portion 224 that is hinged to the lower surface of the upper plate 20 and supports the upper plate 20.

The slider 223 is opened downward inside and has a guide hole corresponding to the guide pillar 222, so that the slider 223 can be assembled to the guide pillar 222 through the guide hole. The inner diameter of the guide hole may correspond to the outer diameter of the guide pillar 222.

The slider 223 is implemented as a hydraulic cylinder, providing smooth movement when the slider 223 moves up and down along the guide pillar 222, thereby preventing rapid movement of the upper plate 20 and improving the feeling of use.

When a control signal is applied to the upper plate lifting unit 210 and it operates, the upper plate 20 is raised and lowered according to the sliding movement of the piston rod 213. In this case, the upper plate 20 can be lifted only in the vertical direction without deviating from the designated path (placement position within the bed frame 10) by the pair of upper plate separation prevention parts 220 that support both edges.

The middle zone 12 is a zone corresponding to the torso part of the user's body including the shoulders, back, waist, hips, thighs, etc. The torso part of the body is a body part that moves a lot during sleep, and in order to respond to various movements, complex posture control that combines at least one of a lifting motion and a tilting motion can be performed in the middle area 12.

For this purpose, the middle area 12 includes a middle plate in which the left and right split plates 30a and 30b are arranged in a row on the left and right, and a middle drive unit 31 that individually drives the left and right split plates 30a and 30b. is included.

The left and right split plates 30a and 30b may have left and right lengths corresponding to about one-half of the above-described upper plate 20. However, in order to exclude interference during individual driving, the left split plate 30a and the right split plate 30b may be arranged to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance.

An intermediate driving unit 31 is installed on the left split plate 30a and the right split plate 30b (hereinafter also collectively referred to as the split plate 30), so that they can perform lifting and tilting operations.

The middle driving part 31 includes a middle plate separation prevention part 320 that supports the center of the split plate 30 and prevents separation, and a first middle plate lifting part 310a each fastened to both edges of the split plate 30. ) and a second intermediate plate lifting unit (310b).

The first mid-plate lifting unit 310a and the second mid-plate lifting unit 310b are individually driven independently of each other. They may be linked during the lifting and lowering operation of the partition plate 30.

The middle plate separation prevention unit 320 prevents the split plate 30 from leaving a predetermined position when the first middle plate lifting section 310a and the second middle plate lifting section 310b are driven.

The first middle plate lifting section 310a and the second middle plate lifting section 310b may have the same configuration as the upper plate lifting section 210 described above. The middle plate separation prevention unit 320 may have the same configuration as the above-described upper plate separation prevention unit 220.

However, compared to the upper plate 20, there is a change in the arrangement of the separation prevention part and the lifting part. Through this change, the partition plate 30 may be able to perform a tilting operation of left-up-down or right-up-left-down in addition to the lifting operation. Additionally, lifting and tilting can be performed simultaneously.

By adjusting the sliding direction or degree of the first middle plate lifting part 310a and the second middle plate lifting part 310b, the left and right heights of the split plate 30 are adjusted to move the split plate 30 around the rotation axis in the forward and backward directions. ) can be tilted. Here, the hinge fastening portion 214 of the first and second middle plate elevating portions 310a and 310b and the hinge support portion 224 of the middle plate separation prevention portion 320 extend in the front-back direction (longitudinal direction of the bed). The hinge can be installed to rotate around the hinge axis.

In (a) of Figure 4, the left and right partition plates 30 are simply lifted up and down, in (b) the left and right partition plates 30 are tilted so that the spine portion of the body descends (see Figure 5), and in (c) the body is tilted. A case where the left and right split plates 30 are tilted so that the spine portion rises is shown (see FIG. 6). In addition, complex control is also possible, such as tilting/elevating only one of the left and right split plates 30a and 30b, or tilting/elevating one while tilting the other.

The lower region 13 is a region corresponding to the lower part of the user's body, including the lower thigh. The lower part of the body is a part where posture control is less effective and may be excluded from posture control. However, of course, if necessary, basic posture control or integrated posture control can be achieved by implementing it as in the above-described upper zone 11 or middle zone 12.

The lower zone 13 may include a lower plate 40 having an area corresponding to the entire zone and a lower support 41 that securely supports the lower plate 40. The lower plate 40 stably supports the lower body parts and distributes pressure over a large area.

In this embodiment, the upper plate 20 and/or the split plate 30 may have a biological signal sensor (pressure sensor, temperature sensor, etc.) installed on its surface to measure the characteristics of the user's body part currently being supported. At this time, an installation space (eg, an installation groove) for sensor installation may be formed on the surface of the upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30. In addition, in the installation space, a cable penetration part (not shown) is formed that penetrates the upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30, and the sensor cable is connected to the control unit (not shown) installed inside the bed frame 10. It can be easily connected to.

The pressure sensor can measure the pressure applied downward by the weight of the body part currently being supported. Based on the measured value of the pressure sensor, the controller (not shown) may estimate information about whether the user is using the device, the user's body size, and body and/or posture imbalance.

Two or more pressure sensors may be installed on one support plate. In this case, assuming the total length of the support plate is 100, each pressure sensor can be located at a point 20 from each end. The pressure bias can be calculated through the pressure difference between the two pressure sensors. The bias can be expressed as a percentage based on the center point of the support plate. Through this, the relative pressure bias can be obtained from the board-type support plate.

The temperature sensor can measure the body temperature of the body part it is currently supporting. The control unit may operate the body temperature regulation module to increase body temperature for low-temperature parts and decrease body temperature for high-temperature parts, in comparison with body temperature distribution data required for optimal sleep.

The body temperature control module according to one embodiment may include a heating unit installed on the upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30. The heating unit includes a heating wire, and can raise the body temperature of the upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30, which are determined to be low-temperature parts, by operating the heating wire and applying heat.

The heating temperature can be manufactured to provide heat within the range of 10°C to 70°C, and can be set to be adjustable in predetermined units (eg, 5°C). The deviation of the temperature distribution of each plate may be within a certain range (eg, within ±7°C). Additionally, by limiting the maximum set operation time, low-temperature burns in situations where the user is not aware of it can be prevented.

The body temperature control module according to another embodiment may include an air pump installed within the bed frame 10. The upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30 have a plurality of air blowing holes connected to an air pump formed on its surface, so that air is blown out by the operation of the air pump, thereby lowering body temperature.

Additionally, the control unit can estimate the posture of the user lying on the bed by solely reflecting the measured value of the pressure sensor or by additionally reflecting the measured value of the temperature sensor. Based on the estimated results, the controller can change the shape of the mattress placed on the bed frame 10 by controlling the operation of at least one of the upper plate 20 and the partition plate 30 to induce the user's correct posture. there is.

Of course, the temperature sensor and body temperature control module described above can also be installed in the lower area 13.

The user-customized sleep assistance bed (1) according to this embodiment estimates the user's posture through sensor data that recognizes weight and temperature, changes the shape of the mattress by controlling the cylinder height of each driving unit based on the estimation result, and , it can assist the user on the bed to assume the correct posture.

Parts of the body that require less delicate processing (upper parts such as the head and neck) as the user is less likely to toss and turn during sleep, and parts of the body that require more delicate processing (shoulders, back, waist, hips, thighs, etc.) that move more during sleep. There is also the effect of reducing production costs by applying a differentiated posture control mechanism to the middle part of the model.

Figure 7 is a flow chart of a body pressure distribution balancing method as a control method of a user-customized sleep aid bed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Body pressure distribution is used to quantitatively evaluate comfort when designing and evaluating beds. Therefore, by evolving from simply measuring the user's body pressure distribution, the user-customized sleep aid bed 1 according to this embodiment can maintain an optimal body pressure distribution pattern by actively adjusting the body pressure distribution, thereby improving the user's comfort. .

Referring to FIG. 7, each body part of the user is measured using a pressure sensor installed on one or more of the upper plate 20, the middle plate (divider plate 30), and the lower plate 40 of the user-customized sleep aid bed (1). Measure the pressure (step S300).

Based on the sensor measurements, the control unit may analyze the body pressure distribution divided into multiple areas, such as the upper plate, middle plate, and lower plate, depending on the body part (step S305).

Compare the pre-entered or currently measured body pressure distribution with the desired body pressure distribution that provides comfort according to the user's body conditions, and control the height of the upper plate 20 and the split plate 30 to approximate the desired body pressure distribution. A control signal is generated and output to each driving unit (step S310).

The upper plate driving unit and/or the middle plate driving unit may be driven to perform lifting and tilting operations according to a control signal from the control unit (step S315).

As the height of the upper plate 20 and/or the partition plate 30 is changed by driving the driving unit, the user's posture is basically or integrated controlled (step S320). As a result of posture control, the user can have an optimal body pressure distribution pattern with a comfortable spine curve and body shape, leading to a comfortable sleeping posture.

Figure 8 is a flow chart of a method of controlling bed temperature based on body temperature data, which is a method of controlling a user-customized sleep aid bed according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Core body temperature (CBT), the internal temperature of the human body, plays an important role in regulating human sleep and wakefulness. A stable environmental temperature helps humans maintain healthy sleep. Therefore, the user-customized sleep aid bed 1 according to this embodiment can enable the user to get optimal sleep through an automatic temperature adjustment function suited to the user's situation.

Referring to Figure 8, the body temperature of each body part of the user is measured through temperature sensors installed on the upper plate 20, middle plate (divider plate 30), and lower plate 40 of the bed (step S400). Alternatively, the user's body temperature can be measured using an infrared camera installed outside or separately from the bed.

In addition, since sleep temperature is closely related to environmental temperature, the environmental temperature can be additionally measured through a separate temperature sensor that measures the environmental temperature around the bed in addition to body temperature.

The control unit analyzes the user's body temperature distribution based on the measurement results (step S405).

The control unit compares the optimal sleeping temperature with the optimal sleeping temperature extracted from a database on the optimal sleeping temperature for each environmental temperature (step S410). These databases can be built in advance.

And based on the comparison result, a sleep temperature control signal to raise or lower the body temperature of each body part can be generated and output (step S415).

The body temperature control module operates according to the sleep temperature control signal and performs a temperature increase or decrease operation for each body part to configure the temperature environment so that the user's body temperature distribution is close to the temperature pattern for an optimal sleep environment.

Figure 9 is an example screen of an operating device for a user-customized sleep assistance bed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The operating device may be an operating panel provided on the bed or a user terminal (eg, a remote controller or a smartphone) connected through wireless communication.

Referring to (a), in the center of the screen, information measured from each support plate of the bed (current temperature, current height) can be displayed along with a schematic image of each support plate and the responsible body parts. The current height is the height of each support plate, and may be the height from a preset reference point (for example, the top or bottom of the bed frame). Alternatively, the difference from the optimal height reference point that provides optimal body pressure distribution can be expressed as the current height.

Additionally, temperature-related icons (current temperature, temperature adjustment) and height-related icons (height status, height adjustment) along with automatic mode icons and settings icons may be provided on both sides of the screen.

Referring to (b), the temperature of each support plate may be adjusted simultaneously as a whole or may be individually selected and adjusted individually. Temperature adjustment can be done by directly entering the desired temperature or by touching or dragging the numerical adjustment bar.

Referring to (c), the height of each support plate can also be adjusted simultaneously as a whole, or can be selected individually and adjusted individually. Height adjustment can be done by directly entering the desired temperature or by touching or dragging the numerical adjustment bar.

Referring to (d), in the case of individual adjustment, the individual adjustment target can be selected or excluded by selecting the desired support plate object among the plurality of support plates displayed on the screen using a designated input method (eg, touch).
