Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent article. Background Art

[0002] Disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins for women, disposable diapers for adult incontinence, disposable diapers, training diapers, etc., are well known. The main function of such disposable absorbent articles is to absorb and contain body excreta, and such articles are also used to prevent body excreta from soiling, wetting or otherwise contaminating clothing or other articles in contact with the wearer.

[0003] In order to prevent body excrement from leaking from the lateral sides of disposable absorbent articles, leak-proof partitions are usually provided on the lateral sides of the absorbent articles. Figure 1 As shown, the leak-proof edge of most diapers is formed by spraying glue on the elastic shrinkable material 1' and adhering it to the middle part of the water-repellent non-woven fabric 2' in the width direction, and then spraying glue on one side of the water-repellent non-woven fabric 2' compounded with the elastic shrinkable material 1' and folding and bonding it to cover the elastic shrinkable material 1'. After folding, the two edges located on the same side are respectively bonded and connected to the liquid-impermeable bottom layer 3' and the liquid-permeable surface layer 4', and the other edge containing the folding line forms a free edge 5'. Since the elastic shrinkable material 1' is located on the free edge 5', when wearing, the elastic shrinkable material 1' shrinks, thereby driving the water-repellent non-woven fabric 2' to gather and shrink toward the middle part, so that it adheres to the human skin; another example is the leak-proof edge of the existing sanitary napkin, the hygroscopic article disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No.: 01120720.5, which discloses in detail the structure of the leak-proof side wall (that is, the leak-proof edge), and the elastic and stretchable material is made of spandex yarn or elastic rubber with a fineness of several hundred deniers. The leak-proof partition described above has a relatively large hardness of the free edge of the leak-proof partition because the elastic shrinkage material is coated with the water-repellent non-woven fabric by spraying glue, and the elastic shrinkage material is distributed on the free edge. In addition, the elastic shrinkage material directly adheres to the skin during the shrinkage process, which causes discomfort to the user as the user moves more during use. At the same time, in order to enable the free edge of the leak-proof partition to adhere well to the skin, the elastic shrinkage material of this structure has good shrinkage properties, so that the free edge of the leak-proof partition moves inward as the user moves more during use, resulting in poor leak-proof effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a disposable absorbent article, which mainly solves the problems of poor comfort and poor leakage-proof effect of the absorbent articles in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A disposable absorbent article comprises an absorbent body, wherein the longitudinal direction is defined as the length direction of the absorbent body, and the transverse direction is defined as the width direction of the absorbent body. The absorbent body comprises a liquid-permeable surface layer, a liquid-impermeable bottom layer, and an absorbent core layer arranged between the liquid-permeable surface layer and the liquid-impermeable bottom layer for absorbing and retaining excrement. Leak-proof partition edges are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body. The leak-proof partition edges comprise a connecting portion connected to the absorbent body at one end and a telescopic portion arranged at the other end of the connecting portion and functioning to shrink along the length direction of the absorbent body so that the connecting portion stands up. The end of the telescopic portion away from the connecting portion is defined as a free end, and the end close to the connecting portion is defined as a connecting end. The telescopic portion comprises a first covering layer and a second covering layer covering the outside of the first covering layer. At least two elastic shrinkable materials are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction in the first covering layer. The longitudinal ends of the elastic shrinkable materials are respectively fixedly connected to the inner surface of the first covering layer. The outer end of the free end of the first covering layer is connected to the inner end of the free end of the second covering layer through a joint, and the connecting end of the second covering layer is connected to the connecting portion.

[0007] Furthermore, one to three rows of welding points distributed along the longitudinal direction are formed between two adjacent elastic shrinkage materials on the first covering layer by ultrasonic welding or thermal pressing.

[0008] Furthermore, the transverse width of the joint portion is 2 mm to 15 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the transverse width of the joint is 6 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the free end of the first covering layer is provided with a first opening along the longitudinal direction, so that the first covering layer located at the first opening forms a first upper side edge and a first lower side edge, and the free end of the second covering layer is provided with a second opening along the longitudinal direction, so that the second covering layer located at the second opening forms a second upper side edge and a second lower side edge, and the joint portion includes an upper layer and a lower layer, the two lateral ends of the upper layer are respectively connected to the first upper side edge and the second upper side edge, and the two lateral ends of the lower layer are respectively connected to the first lower side edge and the second lower side edge, and the upper layer and the lower layer are laminated and bonded.

[0011] Furthermore, a third opening is provided at the connecting end of the second covering layer in the longitudinal direction, so that the second covering layer located at the third opening forms a third upper side edge and a third lower side edge, and the connecting part includes a first part and a second part, one end of the first part is connected to the third upper side edge, one end of the second part is connected to the third lower side edge, and the first part and the second part are laminated and bonded.

[0012] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the disposable absorbent article improves the leak-proof partition edge so that it includes a connecting portion and a telescopic portion, and the telescopic portion includes an elastic shrink material, a first coating layer coated outside the elastic shrink material, and a second coating layer coated outside the first coating layer, and no glue is provided between the elastic shrink material and the first coating layer and between the first coating layer and the second coating layer, so that the elastic shrink material has a good shrinkage effect, thereby driving the longitudinal shrinkage of the first coating layer and the second coating layer to be in a puffy state. In actual use, the free end of the leak-proof partition edge can be well attached to the skin, and the setting of the joint portion enables the area to be attached to the skin when the elastic shrink material shrinks, thereby improving the leak-proof partition edge. The invention has a good leakage-proof effect, and at the same time, the glue-applied area is not in direct contact with the skin, so that a puffy leakage-proof partition is formed to contact the skin, thereby increasing its softness, thereby reducing the influence of a larger area adhering to the skin and improving the comfort of use. The preparation process can be put into production with minor improvements on the existing production line, thereby reducing the investment cost and improving the comfort and leakage-proofness of the leakage-proof partition. Furthermore, 1 to 3 rows of welding points distributed along the longitudinal direction are formed between two adjacent elastic shrinkable materials on the first coating layer by ultrasonic welding or hot pressing, thereby limiting the dislocation movement of the elastic shrinkable material, so that the elastic shrinkable material can shrink better in its transverse direction, with good shrinkage effect, further improving the adhesion of the leakage-proof partition to the skin, and greatly improving the comfort and leakage-proofness.
