SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AIR MATTRESS TEMPERATURE CONTROL

摘要

An air temperature control system controls the air temperature inside of an air mattress. The air temperature control system includes an air intake component having inner and outer seals to inhibit or facilitate the flow of air into and out of the air mattress. The air temperature control system also includes a temperature control element in fluid communication with the air intake component. The temperature control element is positioned within the air mattress inside of the outer seal. The air temperature control system further includes a controller configured to direct the air intake component to open and close the inner and outer seals and operation of the temperature control element.

1. An inflatable air mattress comprising:
one or more inflatable air chambers disposed within the air mattress; and an air temperature control system in fluid communication with the one or more air chambers, the air temperature control system comprising:
an air intake component having outer and inner seals, the outer seal being configured to selectively open to allow air to enter and exit the air intake component and to selectively close to inhibit the air from entering or exiting the air intake component, the inner seal being configured to selectively open to allow the air to pass between the air chamber and the air intake component and to selectively close to inhibit the air from entering or exiting the air chamber,a fan in fluid communication with the air intake component, the fan being configured to selectively direct the air to flow into and out of the air mattress and to selectively circulate the air within the air mattress,a temperature control element in fluid communication with the air intake component, the temperature control element being configured to selectively heat and/or cool the air within the air intake component, anda controller configured to direct the opening and closing of the inner and outer seals and operation of the temperature control element and the fan.
