Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mother and baby products, and particularly to a disposable table mat. Background Art

[0002] As a common tableware, the table mat plays a role in protecting the tabletop and enhancing the dining experience. When infants and young children are eating, considering the convenience of daily cleaning or going out and carrying, people will choose to use disposable table mats. Since infants and young children are curious and more active, it is easier to spill food and frequently move the bowls and chopsticks during eating, which may cause the table mat to move and wrinkle. Therefore, the water absorption performance of the table mat is limited and the bowls and chopsticks are more likely to fall. Moreover, after liquid is spilled on the table mat, the bowls and chopsticks placed on the table mat become prone to slipping. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model provides a disposable table mat, which enhances the stability performance of the table mat, reduces the movement of bowls and chopsticks, and has good water absorption, and can effectively absorb liquids such as spilled soup.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A disposable table mat, which comprises a surface layer and a waterproof bottom layer. An intermediate layer is provided between the surface layer and the waterproof bottom layer, a water absorption layer is provided between the surface layer and the intermediate layer, and a high-efficiency water absorption layer is provided between the intermediate layer and the waterproof bottom layer.

[0006] Preferably, the surface layer is non-woven fabric, the water absorption layer is water-absorbing paper printed with food-grade ink, the high-efficiency water absorption layer is a high-molecular water-absorbing resin layer covered with a fluff pulp layer on the side close to the surface layer, the intermediate layer is wood pulp paper, and the waterproof bottom layer is a waterproof PE film.

[0007] In the utility model, the fluff pulp is crushed and uniformly formed on the toilet paper, covered with high-molecular water-absorbing resin, and then covered with another layer of toilet paper, and then embossed and compacted at 60 °C to form the high-efficiency water absorption layer.

[0008] When the non-woven fabric surface layer comes into contact with liquid, it quickly spreads and conducts the liquid to the water absorption layer; the water absorption layer of the water-absorbing paper can absorb the liquid and conduct the liquid to the intermediate layer; the intermediate layer of the wood pulp paper has a certain thickness and hardness, which serves as a support structure for the disposable table mat, reducing the wrinkling degree of the disposable table mat during use, and the wood pulp paper has a certain water absorption capacity, which can absorb the liquid and conduct the liquid to the high-efficiency water absorption layer; the high-efficiency water absorption layer of the water-absorbing polymer can quickly absorb the liquid and expand, effectively preventing the liquid from re-seeping, enhancing the overall water absorption performance of the disposable table mat, and still not affecting the continued use even after the liquid is spilled; the waterproof bottom layer of the waterproof PE film can well isolate the liquid, and even if the infants and young children knock over the bowls and dishes or spill too much soup during eating, it can block the liquid to prevent the tabletop from being soiled.

[0009] Preferably, the surface layer is provided with a first recess and a second recess.

[0010] Preferably, the first recess is arranged at the central position of the disposable table mat for placing bowls and dishes; the second recess is arranged close to the first recess for placing chopsticks and spoons. Both the first recess and the second recess are grooves formed by pressing. The first recess can be circular, and the second recess can be strip-shaped. The first recess and the second recess can be combined with the patterns printed with food-grade ink on the water-absorbing layer to arouse the interest of infants and guide them to place the bowls, dishes, chopsticks and spoons in the corresponding positions. The formation of the recesses in the first recess and the second recess is conducive to infants quickly finding the appropriate positions and assisting parents in teaching infants to develop good dining habits.

[0011] Preferably, a protrusion is provided on the side of the waterproof bottom layer away from the surface layer.

[0012] In the present utility model, the waterproof PE film itself has a certain anti-slip effect. As the waterproof bottom layer, a protrusion is provided on the side contacting the dining table during use. The protrusion is formed by pressing during production, which can effectively enhance the anti-slip performance of the overall table mat and reduce the probability of the overall movement of the table mat.

[0013] Preferably, an adhesive part is provided on the side of the waterproof bottom layer away from the surface layer.

[0014] Preferably, the adhesive part is arranged at the edge close to the four corners of the disposable table mat to reduce the adhesive area of the adhesive part while ensuring the adhesive effect and preventing infants from poking the corners of the table mat due to curiosity and restlessness, resulting in the turning over and movement of the disposable table mat.

[0015] Preferably, the edge of the waterproof bottom layer extends to the surface layer to form a water-blocking structure, and the water-blocking structure wraps the high-efficiency water-absorbing layer, the intermediate layer, the water-absorbing layer and the surface layer.

[0016] In the present utility model, the area of the waterproof bottom layer is larger than that of other layers. The edge of the waterproof bottom layer extends to the surface layer and wraps other layers, which can prevent liquid from leaking out from the edge of the table mat.

[0017] Preferably, a plurality of holes penetrating the surface layer, the water-absorbing layer, the intermediate layer and the high-efficiency water-absorbing layer are provided on the surface layer.

[0018] In the present utility model, optionally, the holes are regularly distributed on the surface layer. The holes penetrating the surface layer, the water-absorbing layer, the intermediate layer and the high-efficiency water-absorbing layer are conducive to guiding the flow and increasing the speed of the liquid flowing from the surface layer to the waterproof bottom layer; at the same time, the holes increase the contact area between each layer and the liquid, giving full play to the water-absorbing effect of each layer between the surface layer and the waterproof bottom layer; and, the high-efficiency water-absorbing layer contains superabsorbent resin, and the volume increases after absorbing the liquid. The setting of the holes reserves space for the superabsorbent resin to increase the volume, which is conducive to the disposable table mat maintaining the overall flatness after absorbing the liquid.
