Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0006]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bedding technology, and particularly to a comfortable and sound-sleep futon.
Background Art
[0002] In modern society, the quality of sleep is extremely important for people's physical and mental health and quality of life. Bedding, especially futons, are items directly related to sleep, and the quality of their performance directly affects the sleep experience. With the progress of technology and the increasing demands for the sleep environment, it has become difficult for conventional futons to meet various needs for comfortable and healthy sleep.
[0003] Currently, although there are a variety of futon products in the market, many of the conventional technologies have obvious limitations in terms of functions. They mainly rely on the basic heat preservation function and it is difficult to comprehensively meet the needs in different environments and usage scenarios.
[0004] Specifically, first, conventional futons usually obtain the heat preservation effect depending on the thickness of the filling material and the heat preservation property of the material itself. For example, a general cotton futon retains air due to the swollen structure of cotton fibers to achieve heat preservation, and a feather futon realizes heat preservation by confining air in the fine gaps of feathers. However, these futons only have a single heat preservation function. When the environmental temperature rises or the body's heat generation increases, if the temperature inside the futon rises and heat dissipation is not properly carried out, it may cause a stuffy feeling and even affect the depth and quality of sleep. This type of futon cannot stabilize the temperature within a range suitable for human sleep and cannot meet the needs for constant-temperature sleep. <所
[0005] Furthermore, due to reasons such as material or structural design, there are also futons with poor air permeability. In this case, moisture is difficult to be discharged, and the futon is likely to get wet in a humid environment or when sweating. This not only deteriorates the use feeling but also makes it easier for bacteria and mites to breed, posing potential risks to human health.
[0006] Based on the above considerations, we have come to propose this utility model. [Overview of the Initiative] [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] This utility model aims to provide a comfortable and restful sleeping futon. This solves the technical problem in conventional technology, where the futon's function is singular, making it difficult to comprehensively meet the user's needs in different environments and usage scenarios. Among the many technical solutions provided by this utility model, the various technical effects obtained by preferred solutions are described in detail below.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solutions: This utility model provides a comfortable and restful sleep futon comprising a first surface layer, a first filling layer, a second filling layer, and a second surface layer arranged in order and fixed by sewing, wherein the constituent fibers of the first filling layer include first polyester fibers, far-infrared fibers, and aerogel fibers, and the constituent fibers of the second filling layer include second polyester fibers, PCM fibers, and acetate fibers.
[0009] Preferably, the first surface layer, the first filling layer, the second filling layer, and the second surface layer are sewn together by a plurality of quilting stitches.
[0010] Preferably, the quilting stitching lines are straight or curved in the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal directions.
[0011] Preferably, the acetate fibers include naia fibers. [Effects of the Invention]
[0012] The preferred technical solution of this utility model can further achieve at least the following technical effects.
[0013] This utility model effectively solves the technical problem that conventional futons have a single function, making it difficult to comprehensively meet the needs of users in different environments and usage situations.
[0014] This utility model provides a comfortable and restful sleeping futon. The futon comprises a first surface layer, a first filling layer, a second filling layer, and a second surface layer, which are arranged in order and fixed by sewing. The constituent fibers of the first filling layer include first polyester fibers, far-infrared fibers, and aerogel fibers, and the constituent fibers of the second filling layer include second polyester fibers, PCM fibers, and acetate fibers.
[0015] The synergistic effect of far-infrared fibers, aerogel fibers, PCM fibers, and acetate fibers realizes a combination of functions such as heat retention, heat storage, temperature regulation, humidity control, and breathability, comprehensively meeting the user's needs in different environments and usage situations, and providing a more comfortable and healthy sleep experience.
[0016] Specifically, far-infrared fibers absorb heat emitted by the human body and radiate it back to the body as far-infrared rays. The heat radiated back to the body effectively increases the perceived temperature, providing warmth to the user. At the same time, because aerogel fibers have extremely low thermal conductivity, heat is less likely to be conducted to the outside through the aerogel fibers, suppressing the dissipation of heat from inside the futon and firmly retaining heat inside the futon to stabilize the internal temperature. The synergistic effect of both significantly improves the heat retention of the futon, making it particularly suitable for environments with long periods of cold, and providing the user with sustained warmth even on cold nights.
[0017] PCM fibers possess phase-change properties. When the ambient temperature rises, the PCM microcapsules within the PCM fibers absorb heat and change from solid to liquid. In this process, they absorb a large amount of heat while maintaining a nearly constant temperature, preventing the temperature inside the futon from rising excessively. When the ambient temperature decreases, the PCM microcapsules change from liquid to solid, releasing the heat they previously stored and stabilizing the temperature inside the futon. Through this phase-change cycle, PCM fibers can automatically regulate their temperature within a certain temperature range, providing users with a nearly constant and comfortable sleeping environment that adapts to seasonal changes and day-night temperature differences.
[0018] Acetate fibers possess excellent moisture absorption and breathability, quickly absorbing moisture generated from the human body and diffusing it onto the fiber surface, releasing it into the external environment through the voids between the fibers. At the same time, because acetate fibers have a relatively sparse fiber structure, air can freely circulate between the fibers, achieving good breathability. This promotes the release of moisture, keeps the air inside the futon clean, suppresses stuffiness and odor caused by moisture buildup, and provides the user with a dry and comfortable sleeping environment. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0019] To more clearly explain the embodiments of this utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings used in the following descriptions of embodiments or the prior art are briefly introduced. Clearly, the drawings in the following descriptions are only a few embodiments of this utility model, and an ordinary engineer in the art could derive other drawings from these without any creative effort. [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the comfortable sleep futon provided by this utility model. [Figure 2] This is a rear view of Figure 1. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view in the direction AA in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0020] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below. As is clear, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor based on the embodiments of this utility model belong to the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this utility model provides a comfortable and sleep-promoting futon. The futon includes a first surface layer 1, a first filling layer 2, a second filling layer 3 and a second surface layer 4 that are arranged in sequence and fixed by sewing. The constituent fibers of the first filling layer 2 include first polyester fibers, far-infrared fibers and aerogel fibers, and the constituent fibers of the second filling layer 3 include second polyester fibers, PCM fibers and acetate fibers.
[0022] Due to the synergistic effect of far-infrared fibers, aerogel fibers, PCM fibers and acetate fibers, composite functions such as heat preservation, heat storage, temperature regulation, humidity control and ventilation are realized, comprehensively meeting the needs of users in different environments and usage scenarios, and bringing a more comfortable and healthy sleep experience.
[0023] Specifically, the far-infrared fibers can absorb the heat emitted by the human body and radiate it to the human body as far-infrared rays. The heat radiated to the human body effectively increases the perceived temperature and brings warmth to the user. At the same time, since the aerogel fibers have an extremely low thermal conductivity, it is difficult for heat to be conducted to the outside through the aerogel fibers, suppressing the dissipation of the heat inside the futon to the outside, firmly retaining the heat inside the futon and stabilizing the internal temperature. Due to the synergistic effect of the two, the heat preservation performance of the futon is greatly improved, which is particularly suitable for environments with long cold periods, and provides continuous warmth to the user even on cold nights.
[0024] PCM fibers have phase change characteristics. When the environmental temperature rises, the PCM microcapsules in the PCM fibers absorb heat and change from solid to liquid. In this process, while absorbing a large amount of heat and keeping its own temperature almost constant, it prevents the temperature inside the futon from rising excessively. When the environmental temperature drops, the PCM microcapsules change from liquid to solid and release the previously stored heat to stabilize the temperature inside the futon. Through the above phase change cycle, the PCM fibers can automatically adjust the temperature within a certain temperature range, providing the user with a nearly constant comfortable sleeping environment corresponding to seasonal changes and temperature differences between day and night.
[0025] Acetate fibers have excellent hygroscopicity and breathability, can quickly absorb the moisture generated from the human body, diffuse it to the fiber surface, and release it to the external environment through the gaps between the fibers. At the same time, because acetate fibers have a relatively sparse fiber structure, air can freely flow between the fibers, realizing good breathability. This promotes the release of moisture, keeps the air inside the futon clean, suppresses the generation of stuffiness and odor due to the retention of moisture, and provides the user with a refreshing and comfortable sleeping environment.
[0026] The first surface layer 1 and the second surface layer 4 mainly protect the first filling layer 2 and the second filling layer 3, and play a role in improving the appearance of the futon. As the constituent fibers, fiber materials with good touch, breathability and sufficient strength in the prior art can be adopted, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0027] As an optional embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first surface layer 1, the first filling layer 2, the second filling layer 3 and the second surface layer 4 are sewn to each other by a plurality of quilting sewing lines 5.
[0028] By configuring like this, the bonding strength between each layer can be increased, preventing the first filling layer 2 and the second filling layer 3 from shifting or deforming with respect to the surface layer during use, and improving the structural stability of the entire futon.
[0029] In any embodiment, the quilting stitching line 5 is straight or curved in the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction.
[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the quilting stitch lines 5 are straight horizontal lines and are spaced apart from each other.
[0031] Furthermore, the shape and arrangement of the quilting stitching lines 5 can be flexibly set according to usage needs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the futon and meeting the diverse needs of users regarding its appearance.
[0032] In the production of far-infrared fibers, polyester fibers are used as the base carrier, and the far-infrared material is added to the masterbatch raw material during the polyester fiber masterbatch production stage. After the far-infrared material is uniformly and stably dispersed in the polyester masterbatch through a mixing process, spinning is carried out according to a conventional polyester fiber spinning process to form polyester fibers with far-infrared properties. In the production of aerogel fibers, polyester fibers are used as the base carrier, and the aerogel material is added to the masterbatch raw material during the polyester fiber masterbatch production stage. After the aerogel material is uniformly and stably dispersed in the polyester masterbatch through a mixing process, spinning is carried out according to a conventional polyester fiber spinning process to form polyester fibers with aerogel properties.
[0033] In the production of PCM fibers, polyester fibers are used as the base carrier, and PCM microcapsules are added to the masterbatch raw material during the masterbatch production stage of the polyester fibers. After the PCM microcapsules are uniformly and stably dispersed in the polyester masterbatch through a mixing process, spinning is carried out according to a conventional polyester fiber spinning process to form polyester fibers with temperature control capabilities.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the acetate fibers include naia fibers.
[0035] Nia fiber possesses excellent moisture absorption and breathability, quickly absorbing and releasing moisture to keep the inside of the futon dry. Furthermore, it has a superior feel against the skin, enhancing comfort when in contact with the body.
