Through innovative materials (such as breathable and quick-drying fabrics and highly elastic silicone), ergonomic structures (tailored to fit athletic postures), and functional designs (such as shock absorption, anti-slip properties, and water resistance adjustment), it enhances the practicality and athletic performance of equipment while also ensuring safety and comfort. It is widely used in various sports scenarios, from professional competition to everyday fitness, driving the upgrade of equipment from basic protection to precise adaptation to specific needs.

[0003] As a concrete manifestation of sports equipment technology in water sports, the swimming cap is a specialized headgear for swimming. Its core functions are to reduce water resistance, isolate pool water to protect hair and scalp, and also to fix hairstyles. Its design deeply integrates sports equipment technology, making it a typical example of the application of sports equipment technology in specific scenarios.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, some swimming caps have fixed hair-binding spaces that cannot be adjusted according to hair volume (from short hair to long hair, or a bun), lack targeted hydrophobic barriers, and the sealing rings and straps are not adjustable, making it difficult to fit different head circumferences. This results in hair being easily exposed and pool water easily seeping in, making it impossible to achieve hair binding, waterproofing, and size fit in a coordinated manner.

[0005] Therefore, a swimming cap that facilitates hair tying is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a swimming cap that is easy to tie up hair. It aims to improve the problems of some swimming caps in the prior art, such as fixed hair tying space, difficulty in adjusting according to hair volume (from short hair to long hair, bun), lack of hydrophobic barrier, non-adjustable sealing ring and strap, difficulty in fitting head circumference, resulting in hair exposure, pool water seepage, and difficulty in coordinating hair tying, waterproofing and size fit.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a swimming cap for easy hair tying, comprising a cap body, wherein a through hole is provided from the inside to the outside at the rear of the cap body, and recesses are provided on both the left and right sides; a connecting pad with an annular structure is connected to the inner wall of the through hole, and an air bladder is connected to the rear side of the connecting pad, the air bladder can pass through the through hole and exit the cap body; a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the brim at the lower part of the cap body, and a strap is inserted inside the sealing ring.

[0008] Preferably, the cap body is composed of four layers of material, from the outside to the inside: an outer wear-resistant layer, a middle memory layer, an inner waterproof layer, and a close-fitting comfort layer.

[0009] Preferably, the wear-resistant layer is a TPU film wear-resistant layer and has a hexagonal honeycomb structure.

[0010] Preferably, the memory layer is a food-grade liquid silicone memory layer, and it is in the form of an irregular grid, with elastic metal wires embedded at the grid nodes.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a swimming cap that facilitates hair tying includes a cap body 1, which is the main structure of the swimming cap. Ten recesses on its left and right sides accommodate ears, support various functional components, and form an overall wearing shape. The inner wall of the cap body 1 has horizontal anti-slip stripes to increase friction with hair and scalp, preventing the cap from falling off. Combined with a sealed structure, the anti-slip effect is further enhanced. The cap body 1 is composed of four layers: an outer wear-resistant layer 6, a middle memory layer 7, an inner waterproof layer 8, and a close-fitting comfort layer 9. This layered design achieves a synergistic function of wear resistance, support, waterproofing, and comfort. The wear-resistant layer 6 is a TPU film wear-resistant layer with a hexagonal honeycomb structure and a thickness of 0.28-0.35mm. This thickness of TPU film is both wear-resistant and maintains the honeycomb structure to prevent it from falling apart. With this honeycomb structure, when swimming, it can block external friction and the impact of water flow, and also disrupt the water flow, making the swimming cap more stable in the water. Moreover, it will not become too thick and stiff, thus affecting head movement.

[0020] The memory layer 7 is a food-grade liquid silicone memory layer with an irregular mesh pattern. Elastic metal wires are embedded at the mesh nodes, and the thickness is limited to 0.22-0.28mm. This thickness of silicone layer, combined with the metal wires, can firmly support the cap body 1 and the air bladder 2 at the back. It can fit any head shape and maintain its original shape. Moreover, because it is thin, it does not feel heavy when worn and is very comfortable.

[0021] The inner waterproof layer 8 is a nylon fiber waterproof layer, which is fluorinated to form a superhydrophobic surface, with a thickness of 0.18-0.22mm. This thick nylon fiber layer can act like a wall to prevent water from the pool from entering the swim cap, and it is also thin and breathable, so it won't make you feel stuffy.

[0022] The 9th layer, a close-fitting comfort layer, is a bamboo pulp fiber blend with a fluffy surface and a thickness controlled between 0.42-0.55mm. This layer is in direct contact with the scalp, feels soft to the touch, absorbs sweat, and the silver ions inside prevent bacterial growth, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear.

[0023] The back of the cap body 1 has a through hole running from the inside to the outside, and recesses 10 are provided on both sides. The design of the recesses 10 can better fit the contour of the ears and improve the comfort when wearing it. A ring-shaped connecting pad 5 is glued to the inner wall of the through hole, and an air bladder 2 is glued to the back of the connecting pad 5. The connecting pad 5 not only securely connects the air bladder 2 to the cap body 1, preventing the air bladder 2 from shifting and ensuring the stability of the hair binding position, but also prevents the air bladder 2 from directly rubbing against the edge of the through hole during the expansion and contraction process, thus avoiding wear. It also plays a certain sealing role, effectively preventing pool water from seeping in from the connection between the air bladder 2 and the through hole. The air bladder 2 can pass out of the cap body 1 through the through hole. This air bladder 2 is hemispherical and is the core component of the hair binding, specially designed to hold hair of different volumes. It is made of elastic film with a radial pleated structure on the surface, which can freely expand and contract with the amount of hair. When there is less hair, the folds contract, allowing the airbag 2 to fit snugly against the scalp; while when there is more hair, the hair will stretch the folds on the surface of the airbag 2, thus accommodating more hair. At the same time, the elastic membrane of the airbag 2 can gently wrap the hair to prevent it from coming loose and avoid the hair getting wet while swimming.

[0024] A sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the brim at the bottom of the hat body 1. The sealing ring 3 can enhance the fit between the brim and the head, further improve the sealing effect, reduce the possibility of water leaking in from the edge of the brim, and at the same time, it can fit tightly to the hairline and ears, improving the stability of wearing. A strap 4 is inserted inside the sealing ring 3. The strap 4 is made of high elastic nylon material and has Velcro adjustment buckles at both ends. By adjusting the tightness of the strap 4, it can be adapted to different head sizes, ensuring that the sealing ring 3 fits tightly to the scalp without being too tight and causing discomfort.

[0025] How it works: When wearing a swimming cap, the air bladder 2 at the back is key to holding the hair in place. The folds on its surface can adjust their tightness depending on the amount of hair. If there is little hair, the air bladder 2 will be compressed, the folds will be closed, and it will lie close to the scalp; if there is a lot of hair, such as long hair or hair tied up, the air bladder 2 will be squeezed by the hair, and the folds will be stretched open to hold more hair. At the same time, the elasticity of the air bladder 2 can also gently wrap the hair and prevent it from coming loose. The four layers of material in the cap 1 each serve a specific purpose and work together. The outermost "honeycomb" TPU layer blocks external friction and water flow, making the swim cap more stable in the water; the middle silicone "mesh" with metal wires supports the cap 1 and the air bladder 2, suitable for various head shapes; the inner nylon layer keeps water out of the pool; and the innermost fluffy bamboo pulp fiber layer is close to the scalp, absorbing sweat and preventing bacteria, making it comfortable to wear. In addition, the anti-slip stripes on the inner wall of the cap 1 increase friction and prevent the swim cap from slipping. The sealing ring 3 at the bottom, along with the adjustable strap 4, provides double protection for a more secure fit. The strap 4 is made of elastic nylon, and the Velcro at both ends can be adjusted. Tighten it for smaller head circumferences and loosen it for larger head circumferences. This ensures a secure fit without discomfort and reduces water leakage from the sides.

[0026] As described above, these are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model's technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model's technical solution.
