Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diaper technology, specifically a novel breathable membrane. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the breathable membrane used in most disposable diapers on the market is made by stretching a PE film with calcium carbonate powder to create pores for ventilation and moisture permeability. However, in actual use, this method is not ideal for wicking away moisture, resulting in a large amount of moisture remaining trapped inside the diaper. Prolonged wear can lead to the growth of bacteria and increase the risk of diaper rash and other adverse reactions.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, breathable membranes began to adopt composite structures, such as two sides made of low-grammage SMS nonwoven fabric and a middle layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This material has good breathability and water-proof properties, but due to the high price of PTFE, it cannot be widely used. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel breathable membrane to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A novel breathable membrane includes a main body with several inwardly recessed adjustment portions formed thereon. The main body or the adjustment portions include a first SMS nonwoven fabric layer and a meltblown fabric layer, which are ultrasonically welded, hot-pressed, or bonded with hot melt adhesive.
[0007] In one possible implementation, a second SMS nonwoven fabric layer is disposed below the meltblown fabric layer, and the second SMS nonwoven fabric layer and the meltblown fabric layer are bonded together by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing or hot melt adhesive.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the adjustment part is one or more of the following: dot-shaped, strip-shaped, polygonal.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the recess depth of the adjustment portion is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness of the main body portion.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the distance between each of the adjustment parts is 1 mm to 10 mm.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the basis weight of the first SMS nonwoven layer or the second SMS nonwoven layer is 5 to 20 g / m², and the basis weight of the meltblown fabric layer is 15 to 50 g / m².
[0012] In one possible implementation, the adjustment part is manufactured by hot pressing or ultrasonic processes.
[0013] In one possible implementation, several of the adjustment units are arranged in an array.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] By using a combination of SMS nonwoven fabric and meltblown fabric to form a breathable membrane, the breathability of the diaper is significantly improved. Furthermore, by using heat pressing or ultrasonic processes to form adjustment sections on the breathable membrane, the number and shape of these sections can be adjusted to improve liquid barrier properties while ensuring adequate breathability. This results in a breathable membrane that combines excellent breathability and barrier properties. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 2 . Detailed Implementation
[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0021] In this invention, the use of meltblown fabric instead of PTFE increases the permeability of the breathable membrane, which may cause liquid to seep out of the breathable membrane. Therefore, the breathable membrane needs to be treated to increase its barrier properties while ensuring its breathability to prevent leakage.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in Embodiment 1, a novel breathable membrane includes a main body 1, on which several inwardly recessed adjustment portions 2 are formed. The main body 1 or the adjustment portions 2 include a first SMS nonwoven fabric layer 11 and a meltblown fabric layer 12, which are bonded together by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing or hot melt adhesive.
[0023] Example 2, as Figure 2As shown, this embodiment is an improvement on the first embodiment. A second SMS nonwoven fabric layer 13 is added below the meltblown fabric layer 12. The first nonwoven fabric layer 11, the meltblown fabric layer 12 and the second SMS nonwoven fabric layer 13 are bonded together by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing or hot melt adhesive to form a sandwich structure.
[0024] In either Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the adjustment part 2 is one or more of the following: dot-shaped, strip-shaped, or polygonal. The following description uses Embodiment 2 as an example to illustrate a typical adjustment part structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment in which the adjustment section 2 is strip-shaped is given. Figure 4 An embodiment in which the adjusting part 2 is in the shape of a dot is given. The specific shape of the adjusting part is not particularly limited in this invention; the aforementioned shapes are merely preferred embodiments. To effectively adjust the air permeability and barrier properties of the breathable membrane, several of the adjusting parts 2 are arranged in an array. This array arrangement can be rapidly fabricated online using hot pressing or ultrasonic processes.
[0025] For the breathable membrane of this utility model, the depth of the adjustment part 2, the spacing between each adjustment part 2, and the basis weight of the SMS nonwoven fabric and meltblown fabric used will all affect the breathability and barrier properties. As a preferred embodiment, the recess depth of the adjustment part 2 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness of the main body 1; the distance between each adjustment part 2 is 1 mm to 10 mm; the basis weight of the first SMS nonwoven fabric layer 11 or the second SMS nonwoven fabric layer 13 is 5 to 20 g / m², and the basis weight of the meltblown fabric layer 12 is 15 to 50 g / m².
[0026] In this invention, if the recess depth of the adjustment part 2 is too shallow, the liquid will overflow from the adjustment part 2 into the main body part 1. Since the permeability of the main body part 1 is better than that of the adjustment part 2, the liquid will leak out and fail to prevent seepage. If the recess depth is too deep, the overall mechanical properties of the breathable membrane will be reduced, and it will be easily damaged.
