Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cup-shaped masks, and in particular to a shaping cup of a cup-shaped mask with positioning function. Background Technology

[0002] Cup-shaped masks are a common type of protective mask, named for their cup-like shape. They cover the user's mouth, nose, and other facial areas, effectively preventing airborne pollutants from entering the respiratory tract. Compared to flat masks, the unique shape of cup-shaped masks provides a better seal against the face, making it less likely for dust and viruses to leak in. Additionally, the ergonomic nose design with a built-in soft foam nose pad increases wearing comfort.

[0003] Cup-shaped masks typically consist of an outer layer, a pre-filter layer, a core filter layer, a shaped cup layer, and an inner layer. During the production process, the hot air cotton is usually preheated and softened first, and then molded into a shaped cup layer. Then, the materials of other layers are stacked on the shaped cup layer, and then the edges are welded using ultrasonic welding to fix the connection between the layers. Finally, the edges are cut off using a punching mechanism.

[0004] However, observations revealed that during the production of cup-shaped masks, workers often placed the other layers of material onto the cup layer based solely on their own experience. This frequently resulted in the cup layer being exposed, misaligned, or uneven in size, leading to defective products that needed to be discarded. The defect rate was particularly high when workers were fatigued.

[0005] In view of this, the designer has deeply conceived and actively researched and improved the design of this utility model, addressing the numerous shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the imperfections in the production process of the aforementioned cup-shaped masks. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cup-shaped mask cup with positioning function.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is: A cup-shaped mask with positioning function has a shaping cup, the shaping cup comprising hot air cotton fabric, on which multiple cup portions are formed, and each cup portion has a positioning portion at each of its four corners.

[0008] Preferably, multiple cup sections are evenly spaced on the hot air cotton cloth.

[0009] Preferably, the line connecting the four positioning parts corresponding to each cup part is rectangular.

[0010] Preferably, both the cup portion and the positioning portion are formed by preheating and softening the hot air cotton cloth before molding.

[0011] Preferably, both the cup portion and the positioning portion are hollow inside and have an upward protrusion on the hot air cotton cloth.

[0012] After adopting the above solution, during the production of cup-shaped masks, when workers stack other layers of material onto the shaped cup, they can align and press the four corners of the other layers with the positioning parts on the four corners of the cup. Then, ultrasonic welding is used to fix the connection between the layers. This provides a reference positioning for the stacking of other layers, preventing workers from placing them randomly based on their own experience or due to fatigue. This avoids situations where the shaped cup layer is exposed, misaligned, or uneven, resulting in defective products that need to be discarded, thereby improving the yield rate.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] Explanation of key component symbols: In the diagram: 1. Hot air cotton fabric; 2. Bra cup; 3. Positioning part. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of the cup-shaped mask with positioning function of the present invention. The cup-shaped mask includes a hot air cotton cloth 1, on which a plurality of cup parts 2 are formed, and each cup part 2 is provided with a positioning part 3 at each of the four corners.

[0018] The key point of this invention is that, during the production of cup-shaped masks, when workers stack other layers of material onto the shaped cup, they can align and press the four corners of the other layers with the positioning parts 3 on the four corners of the cup part 2. Then, ultrasonic welding is used to fix the connection between the layers. This provides a reference positioning for the stacking of other layers, preventing workers from placing them randomly based on their own experience or due to fatigue. This avoids situations where the shaped cup layer is exposed, misaligned, or uneven, resulting in defective products that need to be discarded, thereby improving the yield rate.

[0019] The aforementioned multiple cup sections 2 are evenly spaced on the hot air cotton fabric 1. In this way, the hot air cotton fabric 1 can be moved at a certain distance by an automated feeding mechanism, and the worker only needs to stack other layers of material on each cup section 2 in sequence, thus improving production efficiency.

[0020] The lines connecting the four positioning parts 3 corresponding to each cup part 2 are rectangular. This provides a reference positioning for the stacking of other layers of material, making the stacking of other layers more regular, avoiding wrinkles, and further improving the yield rate.

[0021] Both the cup portion 2 and the positioning portion 3 are formed by preheating and softening the hot air cotton fabric 1 before molding. In this way, when the hot air cotton fabric 1 is molded into the cup portion 2, the positioning portion 3 can be molded at the same time without adding any additional production steps, which has the advantage of simple production and processing.

[0022] Both the cup portion 2 and the positioning portion 3 are hollow inside and protrude upwards on the hot air cotton cloth 1. In this way, the positioning portion 3 is clear and obvious on the hot air cotton cloth 1, and the worker can feel it clearly when stacking other layers of materials, which makes it convenient for the worker to stack other layers of materials.

[0023] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical applications, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments and various choices and variations of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of the present invention.
