  • At least one blocking device on at least one air chamber is opened or closed via a control device in order to change the pressure within the air chamber.
  • the control device controls, for example, a compressed air valve and increases, for example, by opening the valve and inflating by means of compressed air from a compressor, the pressure within the air chamber to a predetermined value.
  • the control device controls between 8 to 15 individual air chambers of the measuring mattress.
  • the pressure values of the individual air chambers are represented graphically, in particular in the form of color areas on a display element which is in communication with the control device.
  • Each color corresponds to a certain pressure value within a certain air chamber and can be assigned in turn preferably to a foam support roller of specific hardness.
  • the control device based on a predetermined parameter set selects a pressure profile, the internal pressure within each air chamber adapts to the predetermined pressure values according to the selected pressure profile and optionally then an adjustment of the internal pressure of the individual air chambers to the needs of the target person takes place.
  • This selects a standard pressure profile based on the parameter set, which usually requires only minor changes to the individual needs of the target persons.
  • the parameter set is predefined in the form of body measurements in a first variant.
  • body measurements such as size, weight and various other measured values such as shoulder width, waist circumference, etc. are determined and entered.
  • the parameter set is specified in the form of lying pressure values, wherein the lying pressure within each air chamber is determined when the target person lies on the measuring mattress. This eliminates the customer possibly unpleasant surveying and / or questioning.
  • the object is also achieved by a device for individual adjustment of the support function in individual sections of a mattress to a target person that is provided with a mattress in their dimensions substantially identical measuring mattress with a plurality of air chambers whose air chambers via at least one pressure sensor and at least one pressure line having at least one locking device, and in addition a control device for controlling and monitoring the pressure within each air chamber and a compressed air device are provided.
  • control device communicates with a display element, on which the pressure within the individual air chambers is shown.
  • control device is connected to an input element with which the control device is given a pressure change within an air chamber.

  • the air chambers 11 initially each have the same internal pressure. As soon as a person lies down on the mattress, the pressure within the air chambers 11 increases according to the weight acting on them.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour détermination et adapter individuellement la fonction soutien des différentes sections d'un matelas à une personne cible, le matelas présentant différents degrés de dureté dans ses différentes sections. On utilise avec ce matelas un matelas de mesure (10) aux dimensions sensiblement identiques, les éléments de soutien du matelas étant remplacés dans le matelas de mesure (10) par des chambres à air (11) dont la pression peut ou est commandée individuellement. La pression respective est réglée dans les différentes chambres à air (11) afin de créer un profil de pression jusqu'à optimisation du confort de la personne cible (10) allongée sur le matelas de mesure (10) pour ensuite, aux fins d'adaptation de la fonction soutien dans les différentes sections, utiliser les valeurs de pression déterminées pour les éléments de soutien choisis, dont les degrés de dureté correspondent aux valeurs de pression des chambres à air (11) du matelas de mesure (10).
