Electric smart bed are usually equipped with temperature sensors to monitor the temperature of the mattress or bed bed. A temperature sensor is a special electronic device that can sense the temperature of the surrounding environment and convert the temperature into an electrical signal.
The working principle of temperature sensors is usually based on the thermal effect, the most common of which are thermistors and thermocouples.
Thermistor: The thermistor is a device whose resistance changes with temperature. Its resistance value increases or decreases accordingly as the temperature increases or decreases. By installing the thermistor at an appropriate location on the mattress or bed, it can sense temperature changes on the bed surface and convert these changes into changes in resistance value. By measuring changes in resistance, the temperature of the mattress or bed can be determined.
Thermocouple: A thermocouple is an electrical couple composed of two different metallic materials whose connection forms a measuring point. When the temperature of the measuring point changes, the thermoelectric potential generated between different metal materials will also change. By measuring the weak voltage signal produced by a thermocouple, the temperature of the mattress or bed can be determined.
The temperature sensor is usually connected to the control system of the mattress or bed and transmits the detected temperature signal to the control system. Based on the temperature signal received, the control system can make corresponding adjustments, such as adjusting heating or cooling equipment, to maintain the ideal temperature of the bed surface.
The temperature sensor of the electric smart bed senses the temperature changes of the mattress or bed and converts them into corresponding electrical signals to monitor and adjust the temperature of the bed surface. This helps provide a comfortable sleeping environment and personalized temperature control.
