DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0039] Specific implementations of the present disclosure are as follows: [0040] Embodiment 1: As shown in FIGS. 1-5 and FIG. 8, the present disclosure provides a portable diaper changing pad. The changing pad has a used state and a carried state. The changing pad includes a body portion 1 as well as a first portion 2, a second portion 3, a third portion 4, and a fourth portion 5 that are respectively disposed on four sides of the body portion 1 in the used state. The first portion 2 and the second portion 3 serve as one group of two opposite portions. The third portion 4 and the fourth portion 5 serve as the other group of two opposite portions. In the two groups of two opposite portions, a first connecting structure 6 and a second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the two opposite portions in at least one of the two groups. When the changing pad is folded to the carried state, the two opposite portions having the first and second connecting structures are connected through connection of the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7, and are configured to keep the changing pad in the carried state.

[0041] The changing pad is completely unfolded to form the used state and completely folded to form the carried state. In the used state, the changing pad is unfolded to support the baby or allow the user to place the baby. In the carried state, the changing pad is folded to a small size that is more convenient to carry.

[0042] The body portion 1 is located at a middle of the changing pad, while other four portions, i.e., the first, second, third and fourth portions, are respectively located at the four sides of the body portion.

[0043] The two opposite positions mean that the two positions are not adjacent to each other. For example, the opposite first portion 2 and second portion 3 are respectively located at a left side and a right side of the body portion 1. The opposite third portion 4 and fourth portion 5 are respectively located at a front side and a rear side of the body portion 1.

[0044] The first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the two opposite portions in the at least one group, which means that the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the first portion 2 and the second portion 3 and/or the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the third portion 4 and the fourth portion 5. That is, the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 may be respectively disposed on the first portion 2 and the second portion 3, may also be respectively disposed on the third portion 4 and the fourth portion 5, and may further be respectively disposed on the first portion 2 and the second portion 3 and respectively disposed on the third portion 4 and the fourth portion 5.

[0045] When folded, the two portions having the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are further connected together through the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7, so as to prevent the folded changing pad from spreading, and keep the changing pad in the carried state. That is, this keeps the integrity of the folded changing pad, facilitating portability and preventing a situation that any portion spreads when carried.

[0046] The spreading situation not only refers to that some portion falls down, but also may refer to that a single corner of some portion is exposed downward. In the solution, if the changing pad is folded to the carried state, the changing pad is rectangular without spreading, and the corner of any portion is not exposed to damage the rectangular shape.

[0047] The connecting structure may be a component such as a button, and may also be a structure such as a porous structure. In the embodiment, both the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are components, specifically a stud and a socket in a snap fastener.

[0048] When the changing pad is in the carried state, one group of two opposite portions are located at an outer side with respective to another group of two opposite portions. The first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the two opposite portions located at the outer side.

[0049] The two portions folded to the body portion 1 first are considered as the two opposite portions located at an inner side, and the two portions folded to the two opposite portions located at the inner side are considered as the two opposite portions located at the outer side. When the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are respectively disposed on the two opposite portions located at the outer side, after the two connecting structures are connected, the two opposite portions located at the outer side naturally limit the two opposite portions located at the inner side, and specifically prevent the two opposite portions located at the inner side from spreading for a self-weight. Hence, only disposing the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 on the two opposite portions located at the outer side respectively can prevent the four portions from spreading.

[0050] When the changing pad is in the carried state, the two opposite portions located at the inner side include a first expansion portion 4 and a second expansion portion 5, while the two opposite portions located at the outer side include a first storage portion and a second storage portion. The first storage portion and the second storage portion are configured to store an article.

[0051] In the embodiment, the first portion 2 serves as the first storage portion, the second portion serves as the second storage portion, the third portion 4 serves as the first expansion portion, and the fourth portion 5 serves as the second expansion portion. The article can be placed in the storage portion. In addition to a self-weight, a weight of the article is also acted on the storage portion, such that the storage portion is prone to spreading. Hence, the storage portion is supported by the connected first connecting structure 6 and second connecting structure 7 more necessarily to prevent it from spreading. However, the expansion portion only has a self-weight and is located inside, so it cannot spread when limited by the storage portion.

[0052] Specifically, the portable diaper changing pad in the embodiment includes the body portion 1, the first storage portion, the second storage portion, the first expansion portion, the second expansion portion, the first connecting structure 6, and the second connecting structure 7. The first connecting structure 6 is disposed on the first storage portion. The second connecting structure 7 is disposed on the second storage portion.

[0053] The changing pad has a used state and a folded state: [0054] In the used state, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are respectively located at a front side and a rear side of the body portion 1. The first expansion portion, the second expansion portion and the body portion 1 define a working region. The working region is configured to support a baby. The first storage portion and the second storage portion are respectively located at a left side and a right side of the body portion 1.

[0055] The folded state includes a first state, a second state, and a carried state.

[0056] In the first state, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are vertically overlain on the body portion 1, and the second storage portion is located on the first expansion portion, the second expansion portion and the body portion 1.

[0057] In the second state, the second storage portion is sandwiched between folded halves of the body portion 1 in an up-down direction. In a left-right direction, the second storage portion is located beside the first storage portion, the first connecting structure 6 is connected to the second connecting structure 7, and the second storage portion and the first storage portion are connected through connection of the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7. In the carried state, the first storage portion is located on the body portion 1.

[0058] In the solution, the article can be stored in the storage portion. The expansion portion can increase an area of the changing pad after unfolded, such that the working region of the changing pad is sufficient to completely place the baby. When the changing pad is folded, the first storage portion and the second storage portion are connected through the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7. In the carried state, the second storage portion is located in the changing pad. After connected to the first storage portion through the connection of the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7, the second storage portion originally located in the changing pad, not connected, and not supported is supported by the first storage portion. No matter whether a hanging cord 9 is disposed on the first storage portion or the body portion 1, the second storage portion does not fall off from the opening of the changing pad for the self-weight to spread. Even though provided with the article, the second storage portion does not spread from the bottom easily. This solves the problem that the internal second storage portion falls off to spread when the changing pad is vertically carried or hung. Moreover, the changing pad carried vertically has a smaller footprint than that placed horizontally, thereby being more convenient.

[0059] Specifically, in the first state, in a front-rear direction, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are vertically folded on the body portion 1. In the left-right direction, the second storage portion is folded on the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion toward the first storage portion. In the second state, in the left-right direction, the body portion 1, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are folded in half, the second storage portion is moved to be beside the first storage portion, the first connecting structure 6 is connected to the second connecting structure 7, and the second storage portion and the first storage portion are connected through connection of the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7. In the carried state, in the left-right direction, the first storage portion 2 is rotated the body portion 1.

[0060] As shown in FIGS. 1-8, the changing pad is roughly rectangular after folded. In the carried state, the changing pad has wide sides with a longer length and narrow sides with a short length. Openings of the folded changing pad are respectively located at the narrow sides. The changing pad further includes a fixing strap 8, the hanging cord 9, a third connecting structure 10, a fourth connecting structure 11, a fifth connecting structure 12, and a sixth connecting structure 13. The first storage portion, the second storage portion, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are all connected to the body portion 1. The fixing strap 8 is disposed at an end of the first storage portion away from the second storage portion. The hanging cord 9 is disposed on the first storage portion, and the hanging cord 9 is disposed along the front-rear direction. In this way of the hanging cord 9, when the hanging cord 9 is carried by the user, the changing pad is vertical, namely the opening is in the up-down direction. The third connecting structure 10 is disposed on the fixing strap 8. The fourth connecting structure 11 is disposed on the body portion 1. In the carried state, the first storage portion is connected to the body portion 1 through connection of the third connecting structure 10 on the fixing strap 8 and the fourth connecting structure 11 on the body portion 1, realizing connection after the changing pad is folded, and preventing the first storage portion and the body portion 1 from separating and spreading. The fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 are respectively disposed at two ends of the hanging cord 9. When the fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 are not connected, the hanging cord 9 is ribbon-shaped, and can pass through a sealed tube on a baby stroller. After the fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 are snap-fitted, the hanging cord 9 is loop-shaped, and the changing pad can be hung on the baby stroller. The first storage portion, the second storage portion, the first expansion portion, the second expansion portion and the body portion 1 are integrally formed, and made of a waterproof fabric. The fixing strap 8 and the hanging cord 9 are connected to the first storage portion by sewing. The first connecting structure 6, the second connecting structure 7, the third connecting structure 10, the fourth connecting structure 11, the fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 each may also be connected to the respective component by sewing.

[0061] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 5-7, the first connecting structure 6, the second connecting structure 7, the fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 are all snap fasteners. The first connecting structure 6 serves as a first socket, the second connecting structure 7 serves as a first stud, the fifth connecting structure 12 serves as a second socket, and the sixth connecting structure 13 serves as a second stud. Both the third connecting structure 10 and the fourth connecting structure 11 are hook-and-loop fasteners. The first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are directly press-fitted for connection, being very convenient and quick. The snap fastener is located more accurately than the hook-and-loop fastener, and thus the second storage portion is less prone to inclination. There are two first sockets and two first studs. The two first sockets are respectively disposed at an upper end and a lower end of the first storage portion, and the two first studs are respectively disposed at an upper end and a lower end of the second storage portion 3. By this time, the first storage portion and the second storage portion are connected more stably through connection of the first stud and the first socket. When the changing pad is vertically carried or hung, both the upper end and the lower end of the second storage portion can be fixed, such that the second storage portion does not fall off from the opening, and even the second storage portion 3 cannot incline. Therefore, the folded changing pad is not exposed from the opening, keeping the changing pad aesthetically tidy and beautiful. Both the third connecting structure 10 and the fourth connecting structure 11 may also be snap fasteners, and the fifth connecting structure 12 and the sixth connecting structure 13 may also be hook-and-loop fasteners.

[0062] The first socket is disposed at an end of the first storage portion close to the body portion 1, and the first stud is disposed at an end of the second storage portion close to the body portion 1. The first stud in the second state is closer to the first socket theoretically compared with other states. In this way, the first socket and the first stud can be snap-fitted. Hence, the first socket and the first stud are disposed at ends of respective portions close to the body portion 1, such that after the second storage portion are rotated twice, the first socket and the first stud are connected.

[0063] The first connecting structure 6 has a first acting surface 61 facing the second connecting structure 7 when connected to the second connecting structure 7. The second connecting structure 7 has a second acting surface 71 facing the first connecting structure 6 when connected to the first connecting structure 6. In the used state, the first acting surface 61 and the second acting surface 71 are respectively located at a front side and a rear side of the changing pad. Specifically, in the used state, for each portion, the bottom side is referred to as an outer side, namely the rear side of the changing pad, and the top side is referred to as an inner side, namely the front side of the changing pad. The first socket is disposed at an inner side of the first storage portion, and the first stud is disposed at an outer side of the second storage portion. That is, in the used state, the first socket is disposed upward on the first storage portion, and the first stud is disposed downward on the second storage portion. In the first state, the second storage portion is rotated, such that the first stud is upward. In the second state, the first stud is close to the first socket, and the first stud is downward again, and thus can be connected to the first socket. Meanwhile, the third connecting structure 10 is disposed at an inner side of the fixing strap 8, and the fourth connecting structure 11 is disposed at an outer side of the body portion 1.

[0064] Both the first storage portion and the second storage portion are multi-layer structures. The first storage portion and the second storage portion are prepared from a multi-layer fabric by sewing. A pocket for placing the article is formed in each of the first storage portion and the second storage portion. A window 14 is formed at the inner side of the first storage portion. The first storage portion may be configured to place wipes or wet wipes, and the wipes or wet wipes can be drawn from the window 14. The second storage portion can be configured to place other articles for diaper changes, such as a diaper. A zipper 15 is further disposed on the second storage portion, such that the article placed into the second storage portion does not fall out.

[0065] In the used state, the changing pad is folded as follows: As shown in FIGS. 1-5 and FIG. 8, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are rotated to the body portion 1. The first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are overlain on the body portion 1. The second storage portion is rotated to the first storage portion once, such that the second storage portion is located on the first expansion portion, the second expansion portion and the body portion 1, thereby forming the first state. The first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are located between the second storage portion and the body portion 1, and the first stud 7 is upward rather than downward. On the basis of the first state, along the left-right direction, the body portion 1, the first expansion portion and the second expansion portion are folded in half, such that the second storage portion is rotated to the first storage portion once again, the first stud is downward again rather than upward, and the first stud is snap-fitted to the first socket on the first storage portion, thereby forming the second state. The second storage portion is located between folded halves of the body portion 1. On the basis of the second state, the first storage portion is rotated to the body portion 1, and the hook-and-loop fastener on the fixing strap 8 is attached to the hook-and-loop fastener on the body portion 1, thereby being folded to the carried state. [0066] Embodiment 2: The embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in a number of first connecting structures 6 and a number of second connecting structures 7. Specifically: [0067] FIG. 9 shows one first connecting structure 6 and one second connecting structure 7. In the front-rear direction, the first connecting structure 6 is disposed at a middle of the first storage portion, while the second connecting structure 7 is disposed at a middle of the second storage portion. The second storage portion and the first storage portion are connected through the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7, such that the second storage portion is supported without spreading. The first storage portion and the second storage portion are connected more conveniently and quickly at a time. [0068] Embodiment 3: The embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that both the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are hook-and-loop fasteners. Specifically:

[0069] As shown in FIG. 10, when the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are the hook-and-loop fasteners, the first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 are directly aligned and attached for connection, thereby being very convenient and quick. The first connecting structure 6 and the second connecting structure 7 respectively have the first acting surface 61 and the second acting surface 71 for adhesion. [0070] Embodiment 4: The embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that the first connecting structure 6 is a buttonhole, and the second connecting structure 7 is a button.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 11, when the first storage portion and the second storage portion are to be connected, the button is snap-fitted into the buttonhole for connection. When the button is snap-fitted into the buttonhole, a side of the button approaching to the button hole first serves as the second acting surface 71. Likewise, when the button is snap-fitted from one side of the buttonhole into the other side of the buttonhole, the snap-fitted side serves as the first acting surface 61.
