Don't let storage under the bed become a nightmare! A guide to buying storage bed lift mechanism to save your duvets and other sundries
Every urban youth has experienced such embarrassing moments: the wardrobe is filled with seasonal duvets, the newly bought bedding items have nowhere to be placed, and the fitness equipment is piled up in the corner. When the storage bed becomes the savior of small apartments, some people are awakened by the strange sound of gas Struts in the early morning, and some people are scratched by the rusty hinges when opening the bed box - those hardware brackets hidden under the bed board are punishing consumers who make wrong choices in a secret way.
1. Neglected stent material
A high-quality storage bed lifting mechanism must pass three tests: the static bearing must withstand a pressure of more than 200 kilograms, the dynamic durability test must pass tens of thousands of openings and closings, and the anti-rust coating must withstand the erosion of the southern rainy season. When you fill the bed box with books and suitcases, every weld point of the mechanism is in a load-bearing marathon.
Poor-quality mechanism not only cause loss of items, but also deformed steel beams will change the force structure of the bed frame, causing partial collapse of the mattress, which may cause lumbar problems in the long run. The gas spring forces the user to bend over and exert force, and every time you take something, you are testing your core muscles. These invisible health costs often gradually appear after half a year of use.
In this regard, Qihao's lift mechanism is based on quality and integrity. No cutting corners, for the sake of customers.
2. You need to know the details of high-quality bed lift mechanism
1. The thickness of steel is hidden in the wrinkles: Wipe the paint on the surface of the bracket vigorously. The edge of the real steel beam shows continuous and smooth stamping marks. Inferior products often show welding burrs at the bends. Use a vernier caliper to measure the key parts. The thickness of the main support frame should be ≥2mm, and the auxiliary connecting rod should not be less than 1.5mm.
2. Details of the gas spring: The high-quality gas spring is always silent during the opening and closing process, and there will be obvious buffering at a 45-degree angle. Remove the dust cover and observe that the diameter of the fine steel piston rod should exceed 8mm. Inferior products often use electroplated iron pipes, which will leak oil after three months of use.
3. Anti-rust coating: Use a coin to scratch the surface of the bracket, and the coating that has truly passed the 240-hour salt spray test will not leave any marks. In humid areas in the south, it is recommended to choose galvanized steel frames with a coating weight of ≥60g/㎡, whose rust-proofing ability is five times that of ordinary painted parts.
4. Safety design: Observe the deceleration buffer when the bed board is closed. High-quality products will activate the damping device in the last 10 centimeters. The emergency stop protection of the double hydraulic gas struts structure is particularly important. When one side fails accidentally, the other side can still provide more than 50% support.
3. Smart people's purchasing strategy
1. When testing in the store, don't be fooled by the smoothness of the empty display bed. Ask the shopping guide to load 8 bags of 10kg rice (total weight 80kg) in the bed box, and open and close it 20 times in a row to observe whether there is any abnormal sound. The real quality should stand the test.
2.During maintenance, remember to clean the track gaps every quarter and use a cotton swab dipped in silicon-based lubricant to maintain the hinges. When it is found that the opening and closing speed of one side is significantly accelerated, this is a sign of aging of the hydraulic rod. It is safer to replace it in time than to wait for complete failure.3. Smart people's purchasing strategy.
In this era where even the space under the bed must be carefully calculated, choosing a set of reliable storage bed lift mechanism is to buy insurance for the quality of life. After all, every time we bend down to open the bed box, it should be a proper placement for a better life, rather than a painful game with inferior hardware.
