Abstract
A bed includes a mattress set on which a user's body is placed, an adjustable bedframe to adjust a position or orientation of the mattress set for various sitting and sleeping positions, and a dryer to dry the mattress set. The dryer includes a fan, a filter, and a heater to discharge filtered hot air toward the dryer to reduce mildew and mites. A humidity sensing sheet may be provided to sense a humidity level at different regions or areas of the bed, and the dryer may be controlled to supply hot air to regions of the bed having a higher humidity level than a predetermined humidity level or humidity range.
Claims20
A bed, comprising:
- a mattress;
- and
- a dryer configured to support and dry the mattress, the dryer including:
- a support having a top plate supporting the mattress and a side wall extending downward from the top plate and provided on a floor surface, the side wall spacing the top plate apart from the floor surface and having at least one side opening to allow a flow of air into the support;
- a fan provided inside of the support, the fan having an inlet to suction air to the fan and at least one outlet to discharge air from the fan;
- at least one supply duct coupled to the outlet of the fan to receive the air from the fan;
- and
- a discharge duct coupled to an outlet of the supply duct through which air is discharged upward from the supply duct to a base of the discharge duct, the discharge duct being exposed through a plurality of top openings formed in the top plate of the support so that discharged air flows upward from the supply duct by passing through the discharge duct in a direction toward the mattress and then through at least one of the top openings in the top plate,
- wherein the at least one supply duct is coupled to the outlet of the fan and is coupled to the base of the discharge duct.
A bed, comprising:
- a mattress;
- and
- a dryer configured to support and dry the mattress, the dryer including:
- a support having a top plate supporting the mattress and a plurality of legs extending downward from the top plate, the plurality of legs spacing the top plate apart from a floor surface;
- a fan provided at a bottom surface of the top plate, the fan having an inlet to suction air to the fan and at least one outlet to discharge air from the fan;
- at least one supply duct coupled to the outlet of the fan to receive the air from the fan;
- and
- a discharge duct coupled to an outlet of the supply duct through which air is discharged upward from the supply duct to a base of the discharge duct, the discharge duct being exposed through a plurality of top openings formed in the top plate of the support so that discharged air flows upward from the supply duct by passing through the discharge duct in a direction toward the mattress and then through at least one of the top openings in the top plate,
- wherein the at least one supply duct is coupled to the outlet of the fan and is coupled to the base of the discharge duct.
A bed, comprising:
- a main frame having a first frame rotatably coupled to a second frame such that a posture of the main frame is adjustable;
- a plurality of cushions provided above the main frame, each cushion having at least one elastic member;
- at least one drive configured to adjust a firmness of at least some of the plurality of cushions;
- a support configured to support the main frame and provided on a floor surface, the support having an inner space provided under the main frame;
- at least one fan provided in the inner space of the support to suction air;
- at least one supply duct coupled to an outlet of the fan to receive the air from the fan, and having at least one section extending in a longitudinal direction of the main frame;
- and
- at least one discharge duct coupled to the supply duct through which air is discharged upward from the supply duct to a base of the discharge duct and then through holes formed in the support,
- wherein the at least one supply duct is coupled to the outlet of the fan and to the base of the discharge duct.
