DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

First Embodiment

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an outer packaging of the mattress is formed by combining antibacterial mite-proof fabric 1, an individualized and optional functional flexible material layer 2, and an individualized and optional auxiliary material layer 3. An inner structure of the mattress is formed by high-density environmental-protection buffering material layers 4 sandwiching an activated carbon air-micro-circulation purification device 5. The activated carbon air-micro-circulation purification device 5 is made of EPE composite material having a certain thickness and having a specific gravity smaller than 1. A safety and stiff frame 6 made of light metal is laid in the EPE composite material. Several air holes 8 are prefabricated between the surface and bottom of the EPE composite material, and several activated carbon air purifiers 7 are embedded in the EPE composite material. The activated carbon air purifiers are easily detachable, and filled with an appropriate amount of high-grade coconut-shell activated carbon 7-3. Matching covers 7-1 are respectively provided on two ends of the activated carbon air purifier, and each cover is prefabricated with activated carbon air purifier air holes 7-2.
The light metal frame is laid in the EPE composite material layer, so as to enhance the overall stiffness and make the life-saving function of the mattress more safe and reliable. The activated carbon air purifiers disposed in the EPE composite material layer can not only enhance the antibacterial, moisture-proof, and deodorizing functions of the mattress, but also serve as struts of the mattress, thereby greatly improving the compression resistance of the mattress core and making the mattress durable and nondeformable. The mattress is made of the antibacterial mite-proof fabric, so that the use of the mattress is safer, more salutary, and better satisfies the users' demands.

Second Embodiment

In the mattress in this embodiment, a safety and stiff frame 6 made of aluminum alloy may be designed into a grid form and laid in ultra-thick EPE composite material of an activated carbon air-micro-circulation purification device 5. The EPE composite material is water-proof and has a density smaller than 1 and a thickness approximately between 5 cm and 20 cm. The activated carbon air purifiers may be designed into a column shape and serve as struts of the mattress, thereby greatly improving the compression resistance of the mattress core, and making the mattress durable and nondeformable. An outer packaging layer of the mattress is formed by combining antibacterial mite-proof fabric, a flexible material layer, and an auxiliary material layer. The flexible material layer is made of individualized and optional functional material, which can be any material that is flexible and comfortable to sleep on, including sponge, spray-bonded cotton, and latex cotton. The auxiliary material layer is also made of an individualized and optional auxiliary material, including textile material and non-woven fabric. The specific implementation of this embodiment is the same as First Embodiment, and the details thereof may not be described herein again.

Third Embodiment

The specification of a test sample in this embodiment is as follows: 1900 MM in length, 1500 MM in width, and 180 MM in thickness. The test is carried out at a terrace of a building with an area of 330 m². The depth of water is 300 MM. The test sample is soaked in water for six months, and the water temperature is in a range between 4° C. and 35° C. The manned buoyancy test is carried out in three stages in deep water of 300 MM with three people about 200 kg heavy standing on the sample, and the density of the EPE buoyancy material is 28 kg/m³.
The sample is soaked in water and placed outdoors for six months with a load of about 400 kg, the draft depth of the sample is 165 MM, and a bearing safety standard is set to 500 kg/m³. After being exposed to the wind, rain, and sun for a long time, when being examined, the sample is found to be almost the same as before except that the mattress body is slightly softer than its initial state before being soaked in water, so that the sample still maintains the major lifesaving function. With high-impact, puncture, and tension tests, the material is proven to be ideal material for manufacturing the lifesaving mattress.
The mattress product of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, particularly the dimensions of the product. Any product using the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
