DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] The technical solutions of the present application will be further illustrated and
described below through specific embodiments. Wherein, the "preset movement direction"
referred to in the present application means a direction in which a connecting post
enters a receiving member, and the "upper" as a direction referred to in the present
application means a direction from a bottom plate towards an elastic assembly in an
elastic module having a bottom plate connecting structure. The "lower" or "bottom"
as a direction referred to in the present application means a direction from the elastic
assembly towards the bottom plate in the elastic module having the bottom plate connecting
structure.
EMBODIMENT 1
[0022] Please refer to FIG. 1, an elastic module having a bottom plate connecting structure
comprises an elastic assembly 100 constructed by a plurality of spring units 110,
a bottom plate 200, and a fixing assembly for connecting the elastic assembly 100
and the bottom plate 200. Wherein, the elastic assembly 100 is constructed by the
plurality of spring units 110, and the fixing assembly comprises connecting posts
310 (not shown in figures) and receiving members 320, in the present embodiment, the
receiving members 320 are openings on the bottom plate 200.
[0023] In the present embodiment, the bottom plate 200 is a rigid plastic plate, and the
bottom plate 200 can provide good positioning and support for the elastic assembly.
In other feasible implementations, the bottom plate 200 can also be made of other
rigid materials, such as metal, wood, etc., or the bottom plate 200 can also be flexible,
such as fabric, flexible plastic, etc., and the flexible bottom plate 200 has a weaker
abutting effect on the spring units 110, but it can still function to fixedly connect
bottoms of the spring units 110, thereby improving stability of the elastic assembly.
[0024] The spring units 110 are independent pocket springs, and as shown in FIG. 7, a spring
unit 110 comprises a top cap 115 and a base 113, a fabric bag 111 or other flexible
material is fixedly connected to the top cap and the base to wrap a spring 112, and
the connecting posts 310 are connected to the bottoms of the spring units 110 through
an opening provided on the base. In the present embodiment, a height of the fabric
bag 111 is smaller than an original height of the spring 112, and at this time, the
spring 112 is in a pre-compressed state, correspondingly, the spring 112 exerts pressure
on the base 113 and the top cap 115 to enable the fabric bag 111 to be in a tensioned
state (i.e., a bottom surface of the fabric bag is under tension). The base 113 of
each of the spring units 110 is disposed with a connecting post 310 (not shown in
the figures), and with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, it can be seen that a number and
a position of the receiving members 320 correspond to the spring units 110. In other
possible implementations, the receiving members 320 or the connecting posts 310 can
also be provided only on some of the spring units 110, such that only some of the
spring units 110 are connected to the bottom plate 200, and since the spring units
are connected by providing connecting seats 116 at middle portions, as a result, it
is not necessary to connect them to the bottom receiving members 320 one by one, and
stability is still maintained.
[0025] Specifically, as can be seen from FIGS. 4-6, the connecting post 310 has a first
end 311 cooperating with a receiving member 320 and an opposite second end 314. In
the present embodiment, the second end 314 is an inverted hook, and the second end
314 and the first end 311 are respectively provided in two opposite directions of
the base of the spring unit. The first end 311 is provided with an abutting portion
312, and the abutting portion 312 is four arc-shaped abutting surfaces pairwise opposite
to each other, a middle of the first end 311 comprises openings to provide clearance
for the abutting portion 312.
[0026] During a process of connecting the connecting post 310 to the receiving member 320,
since a maximum outer diameter of the abutting portion 312 is larger than an inner
diameter of the receiving member 320, the abutting portion 312 is squeezed to drive
the first end 311 to elastically deform towards a center, and when the connecting
post 310 enters the receiving member 320, the abutting portion abuts an inner wall
of the receiving member 320, and the connecting post 310 and the receiving member
320 are in an interference fit. The interference fit makes a connection between the
connecting post 310 and the receiving member 320 more stable, and in other feasible
implementations, the connecting post 310 and the receiving member 320 can also be
in a clearance fit, in this case, the elastic assembly 100 and the bottom plate 200
are easy to separate, but the bottom plate 200 can still position and fix the spring
units 110.
EMBODIMENT 2
[0027] In another feasible implementation, as shown in FIGS. 8-10, the connecting posts
310 are provided on the bottom plate 200, and the receiving members 320 are provided
on the bases 113 of the spring units 110. The first end 311 of the connecting post
310 forms a buckling portion 313, and the buckling portion 313 is four buckling arms
configured to be elastically deformable, a gap is formed between two of the buckling
arms, so that the buckling arms are elastically deformed inwards. The receiving member
320 is provided on the base 113 of the spring unit 110, and the receiving member 320
extends towards an upper end of the spring to form a hollow accommodating channel,
an inner diameter of the accommodating channel is equal to or slightly smaller than
an outer diameter of the buckling portion 313 of the connecting post 310, and an entrance
of the receiving member 320 forms a buckling opening 321 having an inner diameter
smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodating channel. After the first end
311 enters the accommodating channel of the receiving member 320, the buckling portion
313 cooperates with the buckling opening 321 to connect the spring unit 110 and the
bottom plate 200.
EMBODIMENT 3
[0028] As shown in FIGS. 11-15, similar to the above embodiments, the spring unit 110 is
a wrapped spring, and it comprises a spring 112, a top cap 115, a fabric bag 111,
and a base 113. The fabric bag 111 is wrapped around an outside of the spring 112,
and the top cap 115 and the base 113 are disposed at two ends of the spring 112. The
connecting post 310 is disposed on the base 113 of the spring unit 110. The base 113
comprises an abutting ring 114 extending upwardly, and the abutting ring 114 and a
distal end of the base 113 form a step, and the spring 112 abuts the annular step.
[0029] The receiving members 320 are disposed on the bottom plate 200. Wherein, a distal
end of the first end 311 of the connecting post 310 forms a buckling portion 313,
and an interior of the receiving member 320 forms an accommodating cavity, an entrance
of the receiving member 320 forms a gourd-shaped buckling opening 321, and the buckling
opening 321 is constructed by a large circular hole 322 and a small circular hole
323 intersecting each other, wherein, a diameter of the large circular hole 322 is
larger than a maximum diameter of the buckling portion 313, and a diameter of the
small circular hole 323 is between the maximum diameter and a minimum diameter of
the buckling portion 313, a chord length at a junction of the large circular hole
322 and the small circular hole 323 is slightly smaller than the minimum diameter
of the buckling opening 321. The buckling portion 313 enters the accommodating cavity
from the large circular hole 322, and then it slides towards the small circular hole
323, and when the buckling portion 313 passes the junction of the large circular hole
322 and the small circular hole 323, the junction slightly deforms, so that the buckling
portion 313 enters the small circular hole 323 and is buckled to the small circular
hole 323.
EMBODIMENT 4
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the same as the spring units 110 in Embodiment 3, the
connecting posts 310 are provided on the spring units 110, and the difference between
Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 3 is that the receiving members 320 are provided on the
bottom plate 200, and an interior of the receiving member 320 forms an accommodating
cavity, the buckling opening 321 of the receiving member 320 is a circular opening,
and a plurality of tabs 324 are provided along an edge of the circular opening and
extending toward a center, the tabs 324 can deform when the buckling portion 313 enters
or is pulled out to enable the connecting post 310 and the receiving member 320 to
be buckled or separated.

frame structure is the same as an arrangement of the spring units 110, when the elastic
assembly 100 is mounted on the bottom plate 200, each of the spring units 110 cooperates
with the connecting post 310 through the receiving member 320 (not shown in the figures,

of the splicing structure 220 can be respectively snap-fitted with the first female
member 225 and the first male member 223 of the splicing structures 220 on another
ones of the bottom plate 200, thereby restricting relative movement of two of the
bottom plates 200 in a splicing direction. An end of the snap-fitting arm 224 away
from the bottom plates 200 extends in a direction away from the first side edge 221
to form a handle 226, and by pressing the handle 226, the snap-fitting arm 224 can
move in a direction away from the first side edge 221, facilitating entry of the first
male member 223 into the first female member 225.
[0034] A middle portion of the second side edge 222 away from the first side edge 221 protrudes
outward to form a triangular second male member 227, and a middle portion of the second
side edge 222 adjacent to the first side edge 221 is recessed inward to form a second
