Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of newborn products technology, and in particular to a multifunctional newborn cap. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in clinical practice, newborns are cleaned with gauze immediately after birth. However, for mothers who deliver vaginally, the hair is often covered by vaginal secretions, amniotic fluid, and meconium, resulting in poor head cleaning. Furthermore, according to the "Clinical Implementation Recommendations for Early Basic Neonatal Care Techniques" (2017), it is recommended that newborns immediately have skin-to-skin contact and suckle, and not be separated from their mothers. Therefore, monitoring the newborn's body temperature is crucial, especially keeping their head warm.

[0003] In the current technology, the cotton caps used clinically to keep newborns' heads warm are the ones prepared by the mothers themselves. This can lead to the following problems: When families buy items for their newborns, they often choose newborn caps blindly. However, the head circumference of newborns varies, and the caps may be unsuitable, loose, and prone to falling off, thus failing to keep the newborn warm. Cotton is also prone to dampness and blood stains, affecting the appearance and reusability. After the blood dries, it sticks to the cotton cap, causing pain when the newborn takes off the cap.

[0004] Therefore, existing newborn caps have technical problems such as poor heat retention and difficulty in removing them. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model provides a multifunctional newborn cap that solves the technical problems of poor heat retention and difficulty in removing newborn caps in the prior art.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include:

[0007] A multifunctional cap for newborns, including an absorbent inner cap;

[0008] and an insulating outer cap disposed outside the absorbent inner cap;

[0009] The absorbent inner cap includes a non-woven fabric layer that comes into contact with the newborn, an absorbent layer, and a waterproof layer, wherein the absorbent layer is located between the non-woven fabric layer and the waterproof layer;

[0010] The heat-insulating outer cap is fitted over the waterproof layer;

[0011] The absorbent inner cap is provided with a flange, which is turned away from the center of the absorbent inner cap, and a positioning groove is formed between the flange and the absorbent inner cap to position the heat-insulating outer cap.

[0012] Preferably, the absorbent inner cap is equipped with a temperature sensor.

[0013] Preferably, the temperature-measuring patch is in contact with the newborn's forehead and is adhered to the absorbent inner cap.

[0014] Preferably, at least a portion of the temperature-sensing patch extends beyond the absorbent inner cap.

[0015] Preferably, the absorbent inner cap is provided with an adjuster to adjust the size of the absorbent inner cap.

[0016] Preferably, the adjuster includes a first connector disposed on the absorbent inner cap and a second connector disposed on the absorbent inner cap, with a gap between the first connector and the second connector, and the first connector is connected to the second connector, and the size of the absorbent inner cap is adjusted by fixing the first connector and the second connector at different positions.

[0017] Preferably, there are at least two regulators, and the at least two regulators are evenly arranged along the circumference of the absorbent inner cap.

[0018] Preferably, the two adjusters correspond to the newborn's ears respectively, and the adjusters corresponding to the newborn's ears form a fixator for fixing the nasal cannula.

[0019] Preferably, both the first connector and the second connector are provided with an adhesive layer, or both the first connector and the second connector are Velcro, or both the first connector and the second connector are provided with fasteners for connecting the first connector and the second connector.

[0020] Preferably, the absorbent inner cap is a diaper.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] By incorporating an outer heat-insulating cap and an inner absorbent cap, the outer heat-insulating cap provides warmth, while the inner absorbent cap absorbs any liquid residue on the newborn's head. The outer heat-insulating cap does not need to directly contact the newborn's head, preventing the liquid residue from contaminating it and keeping the cap dry. This design ensures the outer heat-insulating cap has excellent heat-insulating properties.

[0023] The absorbent inner cap consists of a non-woven fabric layer, an absorbent layer, and a waterproof layer. The non-woven fabric layer comes into contact with the newborn, while the absorbent layer absorbs liquid retained on the newborn's head. The non-woven fabric layer has good water permeability and hydrophobicity, so liquid retained on the newborn's head is not easily retained on the non-woven fabric layer, allowing the non-woven fabric layer to remain dry. This, in turn, keeps the newborn's head dry, further improving the heat retention performance of the newborn multifunctional cap. Furthermore, due to the hydrophobicity of the non-woven fabric, the newborn's hair is not easily stuck to the non-woven fabric when removing the cap, making the newborn multifunctional cap easy to remove.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a multifunctional cap for newborns includes an absorbent inner cap 1;

[0039] and an insulating outer cap 2 disposed outside the absorbent inner cap 1;

[0040] The absorbent inner cap 1 includes a non-woven fabric layer that comes into contact with the newborn, an absorbent layer, and a waterproof layer, wherein the absorbent layer is located between the non-woven fabric layer and the waterproof layer;

[0041] The heat-insulating outer cap 2 is fitted over the waterproof layer;

[0042] The absorbent inner cap 1 is provided with a flange 11, which is turned to the side away from the center of the absorbent inner cap 1, and a positioning groove 12 for positioning the heat-insulating outer cap 2 is formed between the flange 11 and the absorbent inner cap 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the absorbent inner cap 1 can be replaced by a diaper, with the absorbent side of the diaper in contact with the newborn.

[0044] In some embodiments, the thermal cap 2 can be a cotton cap.

[0045] In some embodiments, the absorbent inner cap 1 is provided with a temperature measuring patch 13. The temperature measuring patch can monitor the newborn's body temperature in real time, increasing the functionality of the newborn cap.

[0046] In some embodiments, the temperature-measuring patch 13 is in contact with the newborn's forehead and is adhered to the absorbent inner cap 1. The temperature-measuring patch 13 can also be fixed to the absorbent inner cap 1 using other methods.

[0047] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the temperature-sensing patch 13 extends beyond the absorbent inner cap 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the absorbent inner cap 1 is provided with an adjuster 14 for adjusting the size of the absorbent inner cap 1.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the adjuster 14 includes a first connector 15 disposed on the absorbent inner cap 1 and a second connector 16 disposed on the absorbent inner cap 1, with a gap between the first connector 15 and the second connector 16, and the first connector 15 is connected to the second connector 16. The size of the absorbent inner cap 1 is adjusted by fixing the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 at different positions.

[0050] Due to the soft nature of the absorbent cap, the size of the absorbent inner cap 1 can be adjusted to accommodate newborns with different head circumferences simply by having the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 have different overlap lengths.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 can both be integrated with the absorbent inner cap 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the flange 11 can be the skirt of a diaper.

[0053] In some embodiments, there are at least two regulators 14, and the at least two regulators 14 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the absorbent inner cap 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the two adjusters 14 correspond to the newborn’s ears respectively, and the adjusters 14 corresponding to the newborn’s ears form a fixator for fixing the nasal cannula 100.

[0055] Understandably, using the adjuster 14 to fix the nasal cannula simplifies the structure of the newborn multifunctional cap, and the nasal cannula 100 does not need to come into contact with the newborn, reducing the newborn's discomfort.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 are provided with an adhesive layer, or both the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 are Velcro, or both the first connector 15 and the second connector 16 are provided with fasteners for connecting the first connector 15 and the second connector 16.

[0057] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below, using the thermal outer cap 2 as a cotton cap and the absorbent inner cap 1 as a diaper:

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, fasten the two tail flaps of the NS size diaper as usual to form an absorbent inner cap 1. Then, slip the cotton cap (made into an insulated outer cap 2) over the diaper, ensuring it is aligned correctly. Fold the exposed front edge of the diaper upwards to form a folded edge 11 so that the two tail flaps can be fastened to the diaper during use. Finally, place the completed multi-functional newborn cap on the newborn's head and adjust the tightness using the adjuster 14 formed by the adhesive strips and tail flaps, generally allowing one finger to fit comfortably. The tail flaps should not extend beyond the brim. The soft materials of the diaper and cotton cap will not irritate the skin.

[0059] The following method is used to fix the nasal cannula: First, align the nasal cannula opening with both nostrils to form a "V" shape. Place the elastic opening above the head and use the adjusters 14 formed by the self-adhesive diaper tail wings on both sides to fasten the nasal cannula, thus completing the fixation of the nasal cannula.

[0060] The newborn multi-functional cap is inexpensive to produce and can be made using readily available materials. It's a perfect fusion of disposable diapers and a cotton cap. The disposable diaper consists of a non-woven fabric outer layer with potentially added skin-care ingredients, a fluff pulp and superabsorbent resin core, a special material for the distribution layer, and a PE film or non-woven fabric bottom layer, ensuring hygiene and safety. The soft material and absorbency of the disposable diaper effectively absorb blood and amniotic fluid secretions from the scalp and hair. The cotton cap is then worn over it. This double-layer protection provides extra warmth without compromising aesthetics, and its adjustable size makes it suitable for newborns of any weight, making it highly practical.

[0061] In the scenario of nasal cannula oxygen therapy for newborns, the regulator 14 can fix the nasal cannula. This function reduces the contact between medical tape and the skin, reduces the risk of skin damage, and also reduces the risk of repeated detachment leading to unstable condition.

[0062] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.

[0064] When implementing the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter technical solution and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, these details are still within the scope of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model without departing from it.
