Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooling pad technology. Background Technology

[0002] A cooling mat is a baby product designed for babies to lie or sit on, providing cool air to locally cool the baby.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN201624380U and publication date November 10, 2010, discloses a suction and exhaust type ventilated seat cushion, including a seat cushion outer body consisting of an upper layer, a lower layer, and a surrounding sealing band. Between the upper and lower layers are a backrest support frame, a seat cushion support frame, and an isolation zone. The upper layer has numerous micropores. The upper surfaces of the backrest support frame and the seat cushion support frame have numerous neatly arranged protrusions. An air circulation ring is provided around each protrusion, and the air circulation ring has numerous air vents. An air circulation channel is formed between the air circulation ring and the surrounding sealing band, and the surrounding sealing band has an air outlet connected to a suction fan. A ventilation opening is provided at the lower part of each protrusion. The inner cavities of the backrest support frame and the seat cushion support frame have numerous neatly arranged support columns, which are staggered from the protrusions. In this type of mat, the fan is located on the outside of the mat body. During use, attention should be paid to the placement of the fan to prevent the pipes connecting to the fan from being bent and obstructing airflow.

[0004] To improve reliability and prevent airflow obstruction during use, Chinese utility model patent CN218551918U, published on March 3, 2023, discloses a ventilated mat. The mat includes a breathable body with a ventilation channel inside. An opening communicating with the ventilation channel is located at the top of the mat. A fan for drawing in outside air is located below the opening inside the ventilation channel. A filter screen is located at the top of the opening to seal it. A power cord is connected to the fan and extends out of the mat. A zipper at one end of the mat facilitates opening the ventilation channel and removing the fan. While this patent proposes placing the fan inside the mat and the filter screen on the mat body, the filter screen typically has a plastic structure, and the mat body is made of breathable fabric. For those skilled in the art, achieving a tight connection between the two is not yet feasible. Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to solve the problem of connecting fabric and non-fabric materials in cooling mat products. Furthermore, the filter screen is movable relative to the fan during use, which can easily cause misalignment between the fan and the filter screen, affecting the fan's airflow.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the given embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0027] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Example 1

[0028] This embodiment discloses a mounting structure for the fabric and the shell, which can be applied to cooling mat products. It can also be applied to other products.

[0029] The fabric and shell mounting structure includes a fabric layer 1, a shell 2, and a connector 3. In this embodiment, the fabric layer 1 can be made of sandwich mesh or breathable fabric, or leather with perforations to create a material with good ventilation. The shell 2 is usually made of plastic material that cannot be directly pierced and sewn by a sewing machine needle. The connector 3 has a first connecting part 4 and a second connecting part 5, which are connected together. Typically, they are an integral structure. The fabric layer 1 has through holes 6, and the shell 2 corresponds to the position of the through holes 6. The first connecting part 4 and the fabric layer 1 around the through holes 6 are sewn together, and the second connecting part 5 is fixedly connected to the shell 2. In this embodiment, the connector 3 is made of toughened modified plastic, such as PP, PA, PMMA, or PE, etc. By adding toughening agents or adjusting their proportions, the first connecting part 4 and the fabric layer 1 can be directly sewn together.

[0030] Of course, the connector 3 can also be made of other rigid plastics, and the fabric layer 1 and the first connecting part 4 can be tightly locked together by using the stitching that passes through the fabric layer 1 and wraps around the first connecting part 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper part of the housing 2 has a panel 7, which is positioned opposite to the through hole 6. The panel 7 is provided with an air inlet 16 and a control component 8. In practical application, air enters the mat through the air inlet 16, is drawn in by the fan, and is blown out after the fan performs its work. The control component 8 is used to control the fan speed. In another embodiment, the upper part of the housing 2 has a panel 7, with an air inlet 16 but no control component 8. In other embodiments, the panel 7 may have a control component 8 but no air inlet 16, with the air inlet 16 located at another position on the mat. In this embodiment, the mat is a structure made of materials including a fabric layer, which can be used to house an air guide frame. The air guide frame guides the air blown out by the fan, resulting in a larger area of ​​air outlet on the fabric layer.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 2 has a chamber structure, and a fan is fixed inside the chamber. Alternatively, the housing 2 can also be a support structure for fan installation. It should be noted that the housing 2 preferably adopts a chamber structure, thereby allowing the fan to be installed inside the housing 2. The panel 7 on the housing 2 is also provided with a control component 8, so that the housing 2, the fan, and the control component 8 can form an air-generating device, which, as a modular unit, is easy to install onto the pad. Preferably, based on the above structure, the panel 7 is also provided with an air inlet 16, thus further enhancing the modularity of the air-generating device and eliminating the need to provide air inlets at other locations on the pad. It should be noted that, as another embodiment of the housing 2, the fan can be located outside the chamber.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the first connecting part 4 is provided with a groove 9 for sewing. Due to the groove 9 structure, the thickness of the first connecting part 4 can be reduced accordingly, resulting in better sewing capability. In this embodiment, the connector 3 has a frame-like structure, roughly U-shaped, and the first connecting part 4 is continuously attached to the fabric layer 1 around the through hole 6. Because the connector 3 has a frame-like structure, it is easier to sew the connector 3 and the fabric layer 1 together. Simultaneously, the continuous attachment of the first connecting part 4 and the fabric layer 1 results in a higher flatness of the fabric layer 1 at the edge of the through hole 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second connecting part 5 and the housing 2 form a detachable connection. In this embodiment, the connecting member 3 and the housing 2 are separate structures. Because the connecting member 3 and the housing 2 are detachably connected, the housing 2 can be removed during use, facilitating cleaning of the pad. Typically, the second connecting part 5 and the housing 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​block 10 and a snap-fit ​​hole 11, the snap-fit ​​hole 11 for the snap-fit ​​block 10 to engage, and the snap-fit ​​block 10 and the snap-fit ​​hole 11 are detachably connected.

[0035] As shown in the figure, the locking block 10 includes multiple locking molds 12, with a gap between adjacent locking molds 12. A locking platform 13 is provided on each locking mold 12, and a first guide surface 14 is provided on the outer side of the locking platform 13. The first guide surface 14 makes it easier for the locking block 10 to align with the locking hole 11 and to engage with the locking hole 11 along the first guide surface 14. A second guide surface 15 is provided on the inner side of the locking platform 13. In use, after applying force to the locking block 10, the second guide surface 15 applies a reverse force to the locking mold 12, causing it to bend and deform, thereby disengaging the locking block 10 from the locking hole 11. Therefore, this structure effectively prevents the locking block 10 from easily disengaging from the locking hole 11. Furthermore, the housing 2 achieves reliable positioning after assembly and also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the housing 2 and the connecting member 3. Example 2

[0036] The fabric and housing mounting structure disclosed in this embodiment is largely the same as that disclosed in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that, in this embodiment, the fabric layer 1 around the first connecting part 4 and the through hole 6 is bonded together. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the fabric layer 1 can be a single-layer structure or a structure consisting of multiple layers of different fabrics sewn together, so that its bottom layer can be configured as a material that can be firmly bonded. Example 3

[0037] The fabric and housing mounting structure disclosed in this embodiment is largely the same as that disclosed in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 4 clamps the fabric layer 1 around the through hole 6. As shown in the figure, the first connecting part 4 includes a first connecting part 17 and a second connecting part 18. The second connecting part 18 is connected to the second connecting part 5. A locking hole 11 is provided on the second connecting part 18, and a locking block 10 is provided on the first connecting part 17. Thus, the first connecting part 17 and the second connecting part 18 form a locking connection. The first connecting part 17 presses the fabric layer 1 around the through hole 6 onto the first connecting part 4, thereby clamping the fabric layer 1 between the first connecting part 17 and the second connecting part 18. Of course, in order to more stably clamp the fabric layer 1 with the first connecting part 4, a hole is provided around the through hole 6 for the locking block 10 to pass through.

[0038] This utility model also discloses a cooling pad with the above-mentioned fabric and shell mounting structure. Specifically, the cooling pad includes a pad body, a ventilation frame, a connector 3, and a shell 2, etc., wherein the pad body has the fabric layer 1 structure in the above embodiment.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
