[0015] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a novel cotton quilt for nursing homes is provided, aiming to solve the problems of traditional cotton quilts in the prior art, such as difficulty in cleaning, easy secondary pollution, and cross-infection when elderly people experience toilet incontinence. The novel cotton quilt of this application adopts a modular and detachable structural design, achieving stain resistance, convenient cleaning, and hygiene protection without sacrificing the weight and texture preferred by the elderly.

[0017] The novel quilt of this application includes: an outer quilt 100, a waterproof quilt 200, and a quilt cover 300. The outer quilt 100 provides traditional weight, texture, and warmth; the waterproof quilt 200 is disposed on the inner surface of the outer quilt 100 to isolate dirt and absorb leaked liquids; the quilt cover 300 serves as a whole enclosure, integrating the above two parts into an easy-to-care-for unit.

[0018] The waterproof quilt 200 is a structure independent of the outer cotton quilt 100, which is composed of multiple layers of functional materials. Specifically, it includes a waterproof fabric layer 210 and an absorbent layer 220.

[0019] The waterproof fabric layer 210 is located between the outer quilt 100 and the absorbent layer 220, meaning it is the outermost layer of the waterproof quilt 200 and adheres tightly to the inner surface of the outer quilt 100. The waterproof fabric layer 210 is preferably made of high-density polyester fiber (such as polyester) or pure cotton fabric treated with water repellency, giving it high waterproof performance and effectively preventing liquids (such as urine) from penetrating, while maintaining a certain degree of breathability to prevent the internal environment from becoming too stuffy. The waterproof fabric layer 210 prevents most dirt from directly contacting the outer quilt 100, ensuring that the relatively thick and difficult-to-clean outer quilt 100 remains uncontaminated, and ensuring that even in the event of severe incontinence, the outer quilt 100 remains clean.

[0020] The absorbent layer 220, located inside the waterproof fabric layer 210, absorbs and temporarily stores liquids or solid particles. This layer employs a composite structure, comprising, from the outside in, a fiber material layer 221, a sponge layer 222, and a non-woven fabric layer 223. The non-woven fabric layer 223, being the innermost layer and closest to the skin, is made of skin-friendly, soft non-woven fabric that quickly absorbs liquids and diffuses them inwards while maintaining a dry surface. The sponge layer 222, located between the non-woven fabric layer 223 and the fiber material layer 221, utilizes its porous structure to provide a large liquid storage capacity. The fiber material layer 221, located inside the sponge layer 222, can be made of highly absorbent fluff pulp, bamboo pulp fiber, or ultra-fine denier fiber, serving as a final liquid reservoir to prevent leakage. The composite absorbent structure design of the absorbent layer 220 achieves rapid absorption, dispersed storage, and leak-proof sealing, ensuring that contaminants are quickly processed, keeping the elderly person's skin dry, and effectively preventing bedsores and skin inflammation caused by dampness. In addition, the absorbent layer 220 is an independent module that can be completely removed and replaced after being soiled, eliminating the need to wash the entire waterproof quilt 200 or the outer cotton quilt 100, which greatly simplifies the cleaning process.

[0021] In order to securely fix the waterproof quilt 200 to the outer cotton quilt 100 and prevent it from shifting or wrinkling during use, this application uses a connection structure consisting of snaps and coils 230 to achieve the connection between the outer cotton quilt 100, the waterproof fabric layer 210, and the absorbent layer 220.

[0022] A fixing piece 240 is provided on the outer cotton quilt 100, and a snap fastener is provided on the fixing piece 240. A coil 230 is provided on the waterproof quilt 200 at the position corresponding to the fixing piece 240. The fixing piece 240 passes through the coil 230 and is folded in half, and then connected by the snap fastener.

[0023] Specifically, each of the four corners of the outer quilt 100 is provided with a fixing piece 240. One end of the fixing piece 240 is sewn to the outer quilt 100, and the other end is suspended. The snaps are sewn snaps, which consist of two pairs of independent parts, namely, a male snap 250 and a female snap 260.

[0024] The female buckle 260 is a grooved part used to receive and secure the male buckle 250. Specifically, the female buckle 260 includes a cover 261 and a buckle body 262. The cover 261 is a circular sheet structure, located on the inner section 241 where the fixing piece 240 connects to the outer quilt 100, and is made of plastic. The buckle body 262 is located at the center of the cover 261. It is a bowl-shaped or cup-shaped plastic part with a circular hole in the center for engaging with the male buckle 250 to achieve fixation.

[0025] The male snap fastener 250 is a part with a protrusion for inserting into the female snap fastener. Specifically, the male snap fastener 250 includes a base 251 and a protrusion 252. The base 251 is a circular sheet structure, located on the outer side 242 of the fixing piece 240 away from the outer quilt 100, and is made of plastic. The protrusion 252 is located in the center of the base. When pressed, the protrusion 252 is squeezed into the snap body 262 of the female snap fastener 260 and is held in place by the elastic structure of the snap body 262, thus achieving locking. The snap body 262 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the protrusion 252 of the male snap fastener is pressed in, the snap body 262 will deform slightly, thereby tightly fixing the protrusion 252 and achieving closure. When pulled open, the elastic deformation releases the protrusion 252.

[0026] During connection, the caregiver simply passes the outer segment 242 through the coil 230, then folds the fixing piece 240 in half, so that the inner segment 241 and the outer segment 242 are aligned, and simultaneously presses the male buckle 250, so that the male buckle 250 and the female buckle 260 are connected by snapping. The operation is simple, requiring no complicated alignment, reducing the difficulty and time consumption of the operation.

[0027] The duvet cover 300 is a one-piece bag-like structure that encloses both the outer cotton duvet 100 and the waterproof duvet 200. The duvet cover 300 adopts a composite structure, consisting of an outer duvet cover layer 310 and a skin-friendly duvet cover layer 320. The outer duvet cover layer 310 can be made of wear-resistant and durable cotton, linen, or blended fabrics, while the skin-friendly duvet cover layer 320 is made of pure cotton or modal and other skin-friendly, breathable, and soft fabrics.

[0028] This application retains the weight and texture advantages that traditional cotton quilts offer to the elderly, while solving the cleaning difficulties and care inconveniences associated with incontinence. The outer quilt 100 can be filled with traditional cotton, down, or functional fibers, ensuring that it provides the weighty, enveloping feel and soft, skin-friendly touch that the elderly are accustomed to.

[0029] When elderly individuals experience urinary or fecal incontinence, the solution proposed in this application is to introduce a waterproof blanket 200 as an independent protective layer, with a waterproof fabric layer 210 serving as the outermost layer of the waterproof blanket. This effectively prevents liquids and solid contaminants from penetrating into the outer blanket 100, ensuring that the outer blanket 100 remains clean and dry at all times. The absorbent layer 200 absorbs any leaked liquids or surface residue. In the event of an accident, caregivers no longer need to laboriously wash the entire heavy and difficult-to-handle blanket; they only need to remove the small, lightweight waterproof blanket 200 for washing or replacement. This not only reduces the workload of caregivers but, more importantly, effectively protects the outer blanket 100, allowing for repeated and long-term use.

[0030] The entire replacement process is very quick, enabling timely response to emergencies. It requires no tools and can be easily completed by nursing staff, lowering the operational threshold and ensuring a stable connection.

[0031] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
