Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sun protection hat technology, specifically to a portable travel sun protection hat. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of outdoor sports equipment, especially in high-intensity ultraviolet radiation environments, multi-functional sun hats are crucial for ensuring the health and safety of users. Traditional sun hats have simple designs and often suffer from problems such as inconvenience in washing and carrying, limited functionality, limited sun protection range, and obstruction of vision while walking. Specifically, these problems manifest in the following ways:

[0003] First, conventional sun hats offer limited protection, covering only the top of the head and part of the face. This leaves crucial areas like the neck and behind the ears exposed to UV rays for extended periods, increasing the risk of sunburn. Second, their fixed, one-piece design limits functionality, preventing flexible adjustments to protection for different scenarios. Users often need to carry additional accessories like face towels and shawls, significantly reducing convenience during outdoor activities. Third, traditional sun hats lack ergonomic design, with overly large brims obstructing vision. Furthermore, traditional sun hats are inconvenient to wash and carry; their fixed structure makes them difficult to fold and store, taking up valuable backpack space.

[0004] In the existing technology, detachable sun hats have been used to some extent in the field of outdoor equipment. However, for the all-round protection needs in the ever-changing outdoor environment, problems such as blind spots, cumbersome operation, and poor comfort have not been properly solved. Taking the "Multifunctional Outdoor Sun Hat" disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN205667388U as an example, although it improves the protection range through the modular design of sun shawl and face mask and realizes the detachable function through the connection of snap fasteners, it still has obvious shortcomings in actual use: the design has too many detachable parts, which are easy to lose during outdoor activities, and the assembly process is cumbersome, making it difficult to meet the needs of quick wearing; at the same time, its face mask design does not fully consider the needs of vision, which can easily create blind spots when wearing, increasing the risk of sports activities; in addition, the product lacks the necessary ventilation and heat dissipation structure, which can easily cause stuffiness and discomfort when used in high temperature environments, and it does not consider the design of preventing flying insects at all.

[0005] In summary, the core problem with existing outdoor sun hat designs lies in their inability to effectively resolve the contradiction between all-around protection and ease of use, as well as the balance between protective performance and wearing comfort. They are particularly inadequate in meeting the comprehensive needs of portability, easy washing, wind protection, insect repellency, and maintaining good visibility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of outdoor sun hat design that ensures comprehensive protection while also enabling quick donning, providing a wide field of vision, and achieving multiple functional goals such as insect repellency and breathability, truly meeting the diverse needs of modern outdoor sports and travel enthusiasts. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a portable travel sun hat that ensures comprehensive protection while also enabling quick wear, providing a wide and adjustable field of vision, and facilitating folding and storage, in contrast to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a portable travel sun protection hat, including a hat body, which has a skirt-like structure, with an elastic band wrapped around its upper circle and a lower circle surrounding the upper part of the human shoulder;

[0008] The top of the hat extends forward from the back of the hat body to above the forehead of the human body, and its front part forms an outward arc-shaped profile.

[0009] The brim connects to the top of the hat along the outer arc-shaped contour of the top of the hat;

[0010] The brim of the cap is provided with a first shaping strip and a second shaping strip that can be bent and shaped under external force;

[0011] The first shaping strip is used to adapt to the head contour and fix the top of the hat;

[0012] The second shaping strip is used to adjust the folding angle of the hat brim to adjust the sunshade range or field of vision.

[0013] To make the shaping strip more securely installed and to facilitate adjustment of the brim angle, preferably, a first shaping channel is formed at the connection between the brim and the top of the hat, and the first shaping strip passes through the first shaping channel;

[0014] A second shaping channel is formed at the edge of the brim, and the second shaping strip passes through the second shaping channel. In this way, the shaping strip is limited by the shaping channel to prevent it from shifting during use, while also allowing the user to bend the shaping strip as needed and precisely adjust the fixed position of the top of the hat and the folding angle of the brim.

[0015] To reduce the number of components in the shaping strip, lower the risk of loss, and enhance the structural strength of the brim, preferably, the first and second shaping strips are formed by folding the same shaping strip in half. Both the first and second shaping strips, after being folded and threaded through, are arranged in a U-shape with the opening facing backward. This design utilizes a single shaping strip to form a dual-functional structure, simplifies the assembly process, enhances the brim's bending resistance, and allows for easy and thorough cleaning of the entire sun hat after the shaping strip is removed.

[0016] To prevent the ends of the shaping strip from scratching the user and to improve wearing comfort, preferably, both ends of the shaping strip are fitted with protective sleeves, and corresponding baffles are sewn onto the brim. These baffles confine the two ends of the shaping strip within the first and second shaping channels. The baffles and protective sleeves ensure the shaping strip is stable, preventing loosening, and also eliminate the risk of scratches from exposed ends.

[0017] To provide facial mosquito protection during outdoor activities without obstructing vision, preferably, the front of the hat is sewn with a mesh. The upper edge of the mesh is fixedly connected to the hat body, and the lower edge of the mesh can be folded upwards. After being folded, the lower edge of the mesh is detachably fixed to the front of the hat top via a connecting buckle, forming a three-dimensional mosquito-proof structure that covers the exposed area of ​​the face. The foldable mesh design allows users to flexibly activate the mosquito-proof function according to the scenario. The three-dimensional structure prevents the mesh from sticking to the face, ensuring unobstructed breathing and vision, and eliminating the inconvenience of carrying an extra face towel with traditional protection. The fixed lower edge of the mesh also reinforces the hat top, preventing it from being blown off by strong winds.

[0018] To ensure clear visibility while providing mosquito protection, the mesh is preferably made of a light-transmitting type, ensuring both effective mosquito control and clear vision. The light-transmitting material prevents blurred vision due to mesh obstruction, making it particularly suitable for activities such as hiking and mountaineering where observation of terrain is crucial, thus balancing protection and safety.

[0019] To adjust the ventilation volume inside the hat according to the ambient temperature, preferably, a third shaping channel is formed around the lower ring of the hat body. A third shaping strip, which can be bent and shaped under external force, passes through this third shaping channel. The third shaping strip adjusts the gap between the lower ring of the hat body and the shoulder area through deformation, thereby controlling the ventilation volume. Users can adjust the gap by bending the third shaping strip; increasing the gap in high temperatures enhances ventilation, while decreasing the gap in cold temperatures improves warmth and enhances the product's environmental adaptability.

[0020] To ensure airflow in front of the mouth and nose during wear, preferably, the inner side of the front of the hat body is provided with an inner gauze layer. The bottom edge of the inner gauze layer has a fourth shaping channel, through which a fourth shaping strip, which can be bent and shaped under external force, is threaded. This fourth shaping strip can partially protrude to form a support structure, thereby creating a breathable space in front of the mouth and nose. The support structure formed by the inner gauze layer and the fourth shaping strip prevents the front of the hat body from sticking to the mouth and nose, maintaining smooth breathing, and is especially suitable for prolonged wear, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0021] To better regulate ventilation inside the hat, preferably, a ventilation regulating device is also provided on the inner rear side of the hat top, the ventilation regulating device including:

[0022] The button is sewn onto the back of the hat top, positioned slightly above the center of the elastic band;

[0023] The adjusting belt has its fixed end connected to the female buckle;

[0024] The buckle is located at the free end of the adjusting belt;

[0025] The adjustable strap, in conjunction with the buckle, secures the rolled-up back of the hat, creating a ventilation gap at the rear. Users can use the adjustable strap and buckle to roll up and secure the back of the hat, creating a ventilation gap, accelerating airflow inside the hat, reducing stuffiness, and making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments.

[0026] To achieve portable, foldable storage of the sun hat, preferably, the hat body, crown, brim, mesh, elastic band, first shaping strip, second shaping strip, third shaping strip, and fourth shaping strip are all made of foldable flexible material. The flexible material allows the entire sun hat to be folded and compressed, significantly reducing its storage volume, making it easy to carry, solving the problem of traditional fixed-structure sun hats taking up backpack space, and improving the convenience of outdoor travel.

[0027] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The design employs a skirt-shaped hat body with a flexible, shape-adjustable first and second shaping strip. The first shaping strip automatically adapts to the head's contour and secures the top of the hat, while the second shaping strip flexibly adjusts the brim's folding angle, allowing for on-demand adjustment of the sunshade range or field of vision. Simultaneously, the elastic band around the upper part of the hat body quickly conforms to the bridge of the nose, while the lower part naturally surrounds the shoulders to broaden the protection range. This integrated design allows for simple head-pushing without cumbersome assembly or adjustment. Furthermore, this design achieves both quick head-fixing and rapid field-of-vision adjustment, ensuring comprehensive protection while providing quick wear and a wide, adjustable field of vision. Combined with the foldable mesh sewn to the front of the hat body, it offers multiple functions including facial mosquito protection. Moreover, the use of foldable, flexible materials for each component, along with the ability to easily remove the shaping strips, makes the product convenient for storage, carrying, and washing.

[0048] The working principle and technical advantages of the portable travel sun hat in this embodiment are as follows:

[0049] 1. Comprehensive protection and flexible adaptation

[0050] The upper ring of the skirt-shaped hat body 1 fits snugly against the bridge of the nose via an elastic band 1a, while the lower ring naturally extends over the shoulders, forming a three-dimensional protective structure covering key areas such as the top of the head, face, neck, and behind the ears. The first shaping strip 3a secures the position of the hat top 2, the second shaping strip 3b adjusts the angle of the brim 3, and the third shaping strip 1c can be bent to adjust the gap between the lower ring of the hat body 1 and the shoulders; the gap is increased in high temperatures to enhance ventilation and decreased in cold temperatures to retain warmth. The fourth shaping strip 5b forms a support structure in front of the mouth and nose, preventing the hat body 1 from sticking to the face and ensuring unobstructed breathing.

[0051] 2. Quick wear and easy storage

[0052] The elastic band 1a fits snugly against the bridge of the nose, ensuring a secure fit from the first wear. The hat body 1, hat top 2, hat brim 3, and all shaping strips are made of foldable flexible material. Combined with the bending characteristics of the shaping strips, they can be compressed and stored to a very small volume.

[0053] 3. Multifunctional protection for various scenarios

[0054] The front mesh 4 of the hat body 1 is folded over and fixed by the connecting buckle 4a to form a mosquito-proof structure for the face; the third shaping strip 1c works with the ventilation adjustment device 6 to achieve dynamic adjustment of the ventilation volume inside the hat to meet the needs of different environments. When in an outdoor hiking scene, the brim 3 is folded over by the second shaping strip 3b to balance the sunshade range and field of vision, and the gap between the lower ring of the hat body 1 is increased by the third shaping strip 1c to increase ventilation. When encountering mosquitoes, the mesh 4 is folded over to fix it; in high temperature, the back of the hat body 1 is rolled up with the adjusting strap 6b and the buckle 6c to enhance ventilation; when it is necessary to store it, the shaping strips (first shaping strip 3a, second shaping strip 3b, third shaping strip 1c, and fourth shaping strip 5b) are bent, and the hat body 1, hat top 2, and hat brim 3 are folded and compressed into a ball and put into the storage bag.
