[0001] This utility model relates to a light-blocking eye mask, specifically a light-blocking eye mask for neonatal care, and belongs to the technical field of light-blocking eye mask. Background Technology
[0002] Newborns are prone to physiological jaundice after birth. In severe cases, phototherapy is required. Appropriate sun exposure can alleviate this physiological jaundice and help the body obtain vitamin D, which helps newborns absorb calcium and phosphorus, making their bones strong and healthy. It also helps prevent rickets and osteomalacia in infants. It is generally recommended to expose newborns to sunlight appropriately. Because newborns' eyes are not fully developed, they need to wear sun protection shields when receiving phototherapy or sun exposure.
[0003] However, traditional sun-blocking eye masks rely on buckles and elastic bands to adjust the size of the fixing straps. This makes it difficult to adjust the straps to fit the newborn's head circumference in a timely manner. If the straps are too tight, the baby will be uncomfortable; if they are too loose, the straps will easily fall off. Furthermore, the newborn's head may press against the buckles, causing discomfort. Therefore, traditional sun-blocking eye masks are not comfortable to use. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a neonatal care light-blocking eye mask includes an eye mask body 1. A measuring strap 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the eye mask body 1. The measuring strap 5 has a scale strip 6. An elastic band 3 is provided on the side of the measuring strap 5. The elastic band 3 is fixedly connected to the eye mask body 1. An indicator arrow 4 is provided on the elastic band 3. A fixing strap 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic band 3. The connection point between the elastic band 3 and the measuring strap 5 at the end fixedly connected to the eye mask body 1 is flush. The indicator arrow 4 points downwards towards the scale strip 6. The eye mask body 1 is placed on the newborn's eyes. Next, wrap the fixing strap 9 around the newborn's head, align the elastic band 3 with the measuring band 5, and then pull the elastic band 3 according to the head circumference of the newborn currently wearing the light-blocking eye mask. The indicator arrow 4 on the elastic band 3 points to the scale bar 6. When the indicator arrow 4 points to the value that matches the newborn's head circumference, stop pulling the elastic band 3. Then, fix the other end of the fixing strap 9 to the eye mask body 1 through the connecting strap 11, thereby fixing the eye mask body 1 to the newborn's eyes. It is not easy to slip off and will not chafe the newborn's head, making the newborn more comfortable when wearing it, and the adjustment method is convenient and flexible.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fixing strap 9 is made of non-elastic material, and a latex pad 7 is installed on the inner side of the fixing strap 9. The latex pad 7 has a strip-shaped structure. The latex pad 7 on the inner side of the fixing strap 9 can support the head of the newborn, making it more comfortable for the newborn to wear the eye mask body 1.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fixing band 9 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 10 at equal intervals, and the latex pad 7 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 8 at equal intervals. The first through holes 8 and the second through holes 10 are connected. The first through holes 8 on the latex pad 7 and the second through holes 10 on the fixing band 9 can achieve a good heat dissipation effect.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a hook-and-loop fastener 13 is installed at the end of the fixing strap 9 away from the elastic band 3. A connecting strap 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the eye mask body 1. A hook-and-loop fastener 12 is installed on the outer side of the connecting strap 11. The hook-and-loop fastener 13 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 are bonded together. Both the hook-and-loop fastener 13 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 are strip-shaped, and the length of the hook-and-loop fastener 13 is greater than the length of the hook-and-loop fastener 12. When the elastic band 3 on the right side of the eye mask body 1 is stretched to a suitable length, the hook-and-loop fastener 12 on the connecting strap 11 on the left side of the eye mask body 1 is connected to the hook-and-loop fastener 13 at the end of the fixing strap 9. The eye mask body 1 is fixed by adhesive. The fixing strap 9 and the connecting strap 11 are connected by Velcro. This avoids the discomfort caused by the child's head pressing on the buckle when using buckles. When the stretch length of the elastic band 3 can meet the length required for the newborn's head circumference, the front end of the loop Velcro 13 is aligned with the front end of the hook Velcro 12 before being glued. When the length of the elastic band 3 cannot meet the required size for the newborn's head circumference, the bonding point of the loop Velcro 13 and the hook Velcro 12 can be moved back appropriately to further adjust the fixing strap 9, making the eye mask body 1 more adaptable.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the eye mask body 1 has a "V" shaped structure, and a latex support 2 is installed at the bottom of the eye mask body 1. The latex support 2 has an overall "V" shaped structure. One end of the latex support 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the eye mask body 1, and the other end is fixed to the outer edge of the eye mask body 1. When the eye mask body 1 is worn on the child's eyes, the latex support 2 at its bottom can support the bridge of the newborn's nose, relieve the pressure of the eye mask body 1 on the bridge of the newborn's nose, and at the same time make the eye mask body 1 fit better with the newborn's eyes, so as to make the light blocking performance of the eye mask body 1 better.
[0026] In use, the eye mask body 1 is placed over the newborn's eyes, and the fixing strap 9 is wrapped around the newborn's head. The elastic band 3 is aligned with the measuring strap 5. Then, the elastic band 3 is pulled according to the head circumference of the newborn wearing the eye mask. The indicator arrow 4 on the elastic band 3 points to the scale strip 6. After the indicator arrow 4 points to the value that matches the newborn's head circumference, the elastic band 3 is stopped. The other end of the fixing strap 9 is then fixed to the eye mask body 1 via the connecting strap 11, thus fixing the eye mask body 1 to the newborn's eyes. It is not easy to slip off and will not chafe the newborn's head, making the newborn more comfortable to wear. The adjustment method is convenient and flexible. When the elastic band 3 on the right side of the eye mask body 1 is stretched to the appropriate length, the hook-and-loop fastener 12 on the connecting strap 11 on the left side of the eye mask body 1 is glued to the loop fastener 13 at the end of the fixing strap 9, thus fixing the eye mask body 1. The fixing strap 9 and the connecting strap 11 are connected by fastener, avoiding the pressure on the child's head when using buckles. If the buckle is uncomfortable, when the elastic band 3 is stretched to meet the length required for the newborn's head circumference, the front end of the loop fastener 13 should be aligned with the front end of the hook fastener 12 before fastening. If the length of the elastic band 3 is insufficient for the newborn's head circumference, the fastening point of the loop fastener 13 and hook fastener 12 can be moved back appropriately to further adjust the fixing band 9, making the eye mask body 1 more adaptable. The latex pad 7 on the inner side of the fixing band 9 can support the newborn's head, making the newborn more comfortable to wear the eye mask body 1. The first through hole 8 on the latex pad 7 and the second through hole 10 on the fixing band 9 can provide good heat dissipation. When the eye mask body 1 is worn on the child's eyes, the latex support 2 at the bottom can support the newborn's nose bridge, relieving the pressure of the eye mask body 1 on the newborn's nose bridge, and at the same time, make the eye mask body 1 fit better with the newborn's eyes, making the eye mask body 1 have better light blocking performance.
