Embodiment 1

(23) As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, an air bed including a mattress body formed by a top surface 110, a bottom surface 120 and a side wall. The mattress body is provided with two layers of side walls being an inner side wall 140 and an outer side wall 130 respectively. The inside of the inner side wall 140 forms a bed air chamber 100 of the mattress body. A side wall air chamber 200 of the mattress body is formed between the inner side wall 140 and the outer side wall 130. The inside of the side wall air chamber 200 between the inner side wall 140 and the outer side wall 130 is connected with side wall drawstrings which form a bed edge of the mattress body with the inner side wall 140, the outer side wall 130, and a side wall top surface/side wall bottom surface respectively.

(24) The drawstrings 200 include two sets of side wall drawstrings, which are an upper side wall drawstring 210 and a lower side wall drawstring 220 respectively. The upper side wall drawstring 210 is connected between a medium-upper part of the inner side wall 140 and the outer side wall 130. The lower side wall drawstring 220 is connected between a medium-lower part of the inner side wall 140 and outer side wall 130. The side wall air chamber 200 is divided into upper, middle and lower air chambers.

(25) The upper, middle and lower three air chambers of the side wall air chamber 200 are independent of each other, and control air intake and air discharge separately.

(26) Two ends of the side wall drawstrings are respectively connected to the inner side wall 140 and the outer side wall 130, and the side wall drawstrings are arranged in an inclined way in the side wall air chamber 200.

(27) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, four corners of the inner side wall 140 are provided with angle-cutting lines 141 extending from top/bottom of the inner side wall 140 to connection positions between the inner side wall and the side wall drawstrings, and the connection positions between the inner side wall 140 and the side wall drawstrings are staggered from end-point positions of the angle-cutting lines 141.

(28) The angle-cutting lines intersect with the inner side wall, and the angles formed by the intersection are oblique pulling angles β which are obtuse angles.

(29) As shown in FIG. 2, the position where the inner side wall 140 welds or bonds the top surface of the bed air chamber 100 is a first connection position 201; the position where the inner side wall 140 welds or bonds the upper side wall drawstring 210 is a second connection position 202; the position where the inner side wall 140 welds or bonds the lower side wall drawstring 220 is a third connection position 203; the position where the inner side wall 140 welds or bonds the bottom surface of the bed air chamber 100 is a fourth connection position 204; the position where the outer side wall 130 welds or bonds the top surface of the mattress body is a fifth connection position 205; the position where the outer side wall 130 welds or bonds the upper side wall drawstring 210 is a sixth connection position 206; the position where the outer side wall 130 welds or bonds the lower side wall drawstring 220 is a seventh connection position 207; and the position where the outer side wall 130 welds or bonds the bottom surface of the mattress body is an eighth connection position 208. Each connection position has a different position. The oblique pulling angles are respectively provided between the first connection position 201 and the second connection position 202, and between the third connection position 203 and the fourth connection position 204.

(30) The top surface 110 of the bed air chamber 100 is formed by bonding a flock layer and a PVC/TPU layer in which the flock layer is provided outside the PVC/TPU layer; the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 is formed by bonding a cloth layer and a PVC/TPU layer in which the cloth layer is provided outside the PVC/TPU layer; the outer side wall 130 of the bed air chamber 100 is formed by bonding a cloth layer and a PVC/TPU layer; the inner side wall 140 is made of PVC or TPU.

(31) As shown in FIG. 5, the top surface 110 of the bed air chamber is formed by bonding a flock layer B and a PVC layer A. The flock layer B of the top surface 110 is provided outside the PVC layer A, and the top surface of the bed air chamber extends to the top of the outer side wall to weld and bond the outer side wall. The outer side wall is formed by bonding a cloth layer C and the PVC layer A, and the cloth layer C of the outer side wall 130 is provided outside the PVC layer A.

(32) As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber is formed by bonding the cloth layer C and the PVC layer A. The cloth layer C of the bottom surface 120 is provided outside the PVC layer A, and the bottom surface of the bed air chamber extends to the bottom of the outer side wall to weld and bond the outer side wall.

(33) The PVC layers A of the top surface 110, the bottom surface 120 and the outer side wall 130 are all provided on the inside, and the flock layer B/cloth layer C is provided on the outside, so that the noise reduction effect is better. Both the connection between the top surface 110 and the outer side wall 130 and the connection between the bottom surface 120 and the outer side wall 130 are firstly achieved through the connection and welding of the PVC layer A and the PVC layer A, so that the air tightness and toughness of the joint are more ensured and the mattress is more stable.

(34) The hardness value of the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 is greater than the harness value of the top surface 110 of the bed air chamber 100.

(35) According to the technical scheme, due to the fact that the structural layers of the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 are different, and the PVC hardness value of the structural layer of the top surface 110 is lower than the PVC hardness value of the structural layer of the bottom surface 120, that is, the top surface 110 has a larger flexibility. The PVC hardness degree of the PVC/TPU layer on the top surface 110 of the mattress body is adjusted to 40 PHR so as to further enable the mattress body to maintain flat with pleasing appearance and avoid the formation of bread-like projection on the surface of the mattress body, thereby better matching and adapting the PVC hardness degree and flexibility of the structural layer on the bottom surface 120.

(36) A higher PHR value leads to a lower PVC hardness degree of PVC, a larger expansion coefficient of PVC mattress body, larger flexibility and easier deformation; or on the contrary, the expansion coefficient is smaller, the flexibility is smaller, and the mattress body is not easy to deform. As to traditional PVC mattresses, the PVC hardness degree is generally required to be between 50 and 56 PHR in order to acquire a balance between the expansion coefficient and the flexibility.

(37) The parameter PHR means the parts of added rubber or resin per 100 parts (by mass) of PVC material, and the PVC hardness degree of the PVC is indirectly indicated by the parts of indirect adding the rubber or the resin. The PHR value can be measured using a Rockwell hardness tester.

(38) The flock layer on the top surface 110 is fiber velvet which does not affect the flexibility of PVC after bonding PVC. The cloth of the cloth layer on the bottom surface 120 is an integral part after bonding PVC since the cloth has small flexibility or no flexibility. Therefore, the cloth layer acts to restrain and restrict the flexibility of the PVC, thereby limiting the expansion and deformation of the mattress body. The PVC harness degree of the bonding layer on the bottom surface 120 is adjusted to between 60 and 70 PHR. Therefore, the PVC hardness degree of the bonding layer on the bottom surface 120 is lower, and it is ensured that the bottom surface 120 is not easy to deform, gives people more comfort when is used, and further meets the needs of the user.

(39) The cloth layer is made of nylon.

(40) As shown in FIG. 2, the bed air chamber 100 is provided with a plurality of bed drawstrings 300 which are respectively connected to the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 and are arranged in an inclined way in the bed air chamber 100.

(41) As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the bed drawstrings 300 are welded and bonded to the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 respectively.

(42) The obliquely arranged bed drawstrings 300 are gradually inclined from the top surface 110 of the bed air chamber 100 to the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 towards the direction of the inner side wall 140.

(43) Due to the fact that the structural layers of the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 are inconsistent with each other, and the force degree of the top surface 110 relative to the bottom surface 120, the degree of expansion, and the hardness degree and the like are also different, so that the inclined arrangement of the bed drawstrings 300 can better match the force on different sides, and the force between the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 is more balanced. Meanwhile, the flatness between the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 120 can be adjusted, so that the force applied to the bed air chamber 100 is more balanced, and the stability and aesthetics are better.

(44) As shown in FIG. 2, the more the bed drawstrings 300 are provided towards the center of the bed air chamber 100, the larger the angle formed by the bed drawstrings 300 and the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100. The range of the angle α formed by the bed drawstrings 300 and the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 is 60°<α≤90°.

(45) The center line of the long side of the bed air chamber 100 is taken as the middle. The bed drawstrings 300 are from the middle of the bed air chamber 100 to the inner side wall 140, and the inclination angle formed with the bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber 100 is gradually reduced. The more the bed drawstrings 300 are provided towards the inner side wall 140, the smaller the angle, and the more the angle is inclined to 60°; the more the bed drawstrings 300 are provided towards the middle of the bed air chamber 100, the larger the angle, and the more the angle is inclined to 90°.

(46) As shown in FIG. 9, the bed drawstrings 300 are in a sheet-like structure. The sheet-like bed drawstrings 300 are provided along inner circumference of the bed air chamber 100 and have a curved design at the joint of the top surface 110/bottom surface 120 of the bed air chamber.
