Problems solved by technology

The biggest feature is that it does not use conductive glue, and it is non-irritating to wear, but there are still some problems: the curvature of each part of the human body is different, and the degree of adhesion between the textile electrode and the human skin is low during use. A large amount of noise affects the monitoring accuracy; although the flexible electrode can be bent, its stretching characteristics are not obvious, and it cannot be stretched or the stretching range is small, which restricts the application of the flexible electrode in the larger curvature of the human body; the design of the monitoring clothing will Increase the tightness of the garment to generate pressure, increase the contact between the garment and the human skin surface, and prevent displacement during exercise. However, the adjustment of the tightness will reduce the comfort of the wearer on the one hand, and stretch the garment when wearing it. The stretching of the textile electrodes will also affect the accuracy of signal acquisition; most of the textile electrodes are inlaid and fixed on the monitoring clothing in the later stage, which increases the cost of the subsequent process
[0004]In addition, most of the smart wearable products are currently stuck in the concept of "wearing", and the concept of "wearing" has not been taken seriously, and the perfect integration of electrodes and clothing has not yet been realized, and Exposure of conductive yarn on the front of the electrode will affect the aesthetics of the garment

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of textile product production, in particular to a structural process method of a weft knitting integrally-formed close-fitting electrode, which comprises the following steps: S1, dividing clothes to be knitted into a plurality of areas; s2, setting three different yarns as weaving yarns; s3, different weaving methods are set for the multiple areas; s4, setting an electrode weaving structure for the area A; s5, setting different knitting densities for the plurality of areas; s6, yarn is guided into the weft knitting forming circular machine, and integral forming weaving is carried out. According to the weaving process method, the wearable garment carrier and the knitting flexible electrode can be integrally woven, the sensor weaving link of the wearable garment is the weft knitting structure flexible electrode, the subsequent sewing procedure of any sensor element is not needed after the wearable garment is taken off the machine, the step of integrating the sensor and the garment is omitted, and the wearable garment is lighter and lower in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile product production, in particular to a structural process method for weft knitting integrally forming body-fitting electrodes. Background technique [0002] Smart wearable is a signal monitoring technology using non-adhesive electrodes, which can monitor some important physiological parameters, which is of great significance to understand the health status of the human body. Sensing electrodes are indispensable in wearable technology. They convert the perceived bioelectrical signals on the surface of the human body into electronic signals and conduct them to electronic devices, thereby realizing the monitoring of electrical signals such as ECG, EEG, and EMG. The usual electronic sensor devices are hard, and the obvious disadvantages are that they are difficult to bend, easy to deform and break, which affects the normal operation of the product, and are not suitable for smart wearable devices that ...
