During the Beijing Winter Olympics, American bobsleigh actress SummerBridge shared a video on social media praising the smart bed in the Winter Olympic Village. In a short period of time, the video was praised by millions and rushed to the hot search list. The reporter learned from Qisheng Technology, the official smart bed supplier of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, that there are currently about 1800 smart beds in the three winter Paralympic villages of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, and by reducing the height of the 10 cm bed and providing two mattresses with different hardnesses, all of them have been upgraded to a barrier-free mode to provide convenience for winter Paralympic athletes.
The barrier-free mode of the smart bed in the Winter Paralympic Village is completely based on the use scenarios of winter Paralympic athletes. For winter paralympic athletes in wheelchairs, because of the height difference between the wheelchair cushion and the bed surface of the smart bed during the Winter Olympics, it is relatively difficult to move between the two freely. Therefore, the smart bed supplied to the winter Paralympic athletes adopts an adjustable bed foot design, before the athletes enter the Winter Paralympic Village, qisheng technology employees in the closed loop adjust the bed foot, so that the height of the smart bed is reduced by 10 cm, basically flush with the wheelchair cushion height. When winter Paralympic athletes want to rest, they can move from their wheelchairs to bed with relative ease, and when they get up, they can also sit in a wheelchair more conveniently.
In addition to reducing the height of the bed, the smart bed in the barrier-free mode has also been humanized in the mattress material. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, smart beds uniformly used latex mattresses. But this softer material is likely to cause trouble for winter Paralympic athletes to get up because it cannot provide enough support. Therefore, the smart bed in the winter Paralympic village, in addition to the latex mattress, also provides a palm mattress with stronger support, and athletes can flexibly choose according to their own needs. "The bed was very comfortable." Zhang Wenjing, a Chinese athlete who won the bronze medal in the women's super giant slalom sitting group at the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, is very fond of the smart bed in the Winter Paralympic Village.
What's so good about this bed? According to the staff of Qisheng Technology, unlike the ordinary beds in the past, the smart bed can freely adjust the angle and memory position according to the principle of ergonomics, and can provide better support for the human spine under different use scenarios. Athletes' beloved "Zero Gravity" mode disperses stress in the body, promotes blood circulation and relieves tension during the race. The staff of Qisheng Technology said that as early as 2005, Qisheng Technology designed and manufactured the first electric bed, combined with the needs of ergonomics and healthy sleep, through electric technology so that the traditional bed can be freely adjusted angle, and constantly break through technology, giving it more functions. At that time, no one in this field in China had yet to set foot. After 17 years of development, Qisheng Technology has more than 2,000 employees in China, the United States, South Korea, Australia and other countries, as well as Europe, South America and other regions. Its products are exported to more than 50 countries, and serve well-known brands such as Shuda and Simmons.
