Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of down jacket processing technology, and specifically relates to a method for preventing down leakage from seams in down jackets. Background Technology
[0002] The down filling of down jackets generally consists of down clusters and individual down filaments that detach from the base of the clusters or feathers. These down filaments are quite fine, and when they are near the seams of the jacket, they can easily pass through the needle holes and leak out. Furthermore, with repeated washing, the down filaments tend to detach from the clusters, resulting in an increasing number of individual down filaments. This leakage problem gradually increases with each wash, causing significant inconvenience for consumers. It also leads to a series of issues such as weight loss after washing, reduced warmth, and the leakage of down that often adheres to other clothing.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the authorized invention patent CN115957948A, a sewing method for 3D down-proof down jacket fabric is disclosed. Specifically, it discloses that glue is filled into the seam area of the down jacket fabric, so that the glue can enter the gap between the seam and the down jacket fabric. After the glue blocks the gap, the down cannot escape from the seam, thereby improving the down-proof effect of the down jacket. However, the down jacket sewn by this method still has problems. Specifically, the glue is easy to fall off after multiple washes, and the glue falling off the seam at the needle hole position will cause a large difference between the original needle hole gap and the diameter of the seam, making it easier for down to leak. The down-proof and down-leakage-proof effect is short-lived. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preventing down leakage from the seams of down jackets in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for preventing down leakage from seams in down jackets includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Cut out the inner and outer fabrics, lay the anti-down filling piece flat between the inner and outer fabrics, and sew the inner fabric, anti-down filling piece, and outer fabric together using sewing equipment, leaving an opening for down filling.
[0008] Step 2: Adhesive is fed into the anti-fleece part through the adhesive delivery component and spread to the outer wall of the anti-fleece part. The part is then hot-pressed and shaped using a hot-pressing device. Low-temperature gas is then delivered into the hot-pressed and shaped anti-fleece part through a cooling component to cool the inner fabric, the anti-fleece part, and the outer fabric and fix them together.
[0009] Step 3: Fill the filling port with down using the down filling equipment, sew the filling port closed, and then heat-press and shape the filling port using the heat-pressing and shaping equipment.
[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step one, the anti-fleece component includes a cylinder and a strip-shaped sewing segment integrally formed on one side of the cylinder. The sewing positions of the inner fabric, the anti-fleece component, and the outer fabric are located on the sewing segment of the anti-fleece component, and the outer wall of the cylinder of the anti-fleece component is in contact with the inner fabric and the outer fabric.
[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the anti-fleece part is made of elastic material, and the cylinder of the anti-fleece part is concave inward on the side away from the sewn section in a "V" shape.
[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the cylinder of the anti-fleece component has an internal gas channel, the cylinder wall of the anti-fleece component has symmetrically opened adhesive delivery cavities, the outer wall of the cylinder of the anti-fleece component has symmetrically opened grooves, the inner wall of the grooves has several adhesive delivery holes communicating with the adhesive delivery cavities, the inner wall of the gas channel has an anti-sticking layer, and the cylinder wall of the anti-fleece component has several snap-fit holes.
[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step two, the adhesive delivery assembly includes a delivery chamber sealing cover connected to one end of the adhesive delivery chamber, a liquid delivery pipe connected to the delivery chamber sealing cover, and a booster pump connected to the liquid delivery pipe. The delivery chamber sealing cover is inserted into the snap-fit hole through a fixing post.
[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step two, the cooling component includes an inner cavity sealing cover connected to one end of the gas channel, a gas delivery pipe connected to the inner cavity sealing cover, and a cold air blower connected to the gas delivery pipe. The inner cavity sealing cover is connected to the inside of the snap-fit hole by a fixing post.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0016] 1) In this invention, the anti-down leakage component is laid flat between the inner and outer fabrics and sewn together with the inner and outer fabrics. Then, the inner and outer fabrics are bonded to the upper and lower parts of the anti-down leakage component with an adhesive. This creates a strong sealing effect at the seam to prevent down from leaking out. Moreover, the way the anti-down leakage component is bonded to the inner and outer fabrics with an adhesive is more durable than the way the inner and outer fabrics are directly bonded with an adhesive. The adhesive layer formed by the adhesive is less likely to fall off, thus achieving a more durable anti-down leakage effect.
[0017] 2) By opening a gas channel inside the down-proof component, the material usage of the down-proof component can be reduced, and it is also convenient for the cooling component to deliver low-temperature gas into the gas channel. Under the same gas volume or blowing time, this cooling method has a longer cooling effect and better cooling effect than blowing directly on the outer surface of the inner and outer fabrics. It can make the adhesion between the inner and outer fabrics and the down-proof component tighter, and can still maintain a good adhesion effect after multiple washes. Thus, the seam of the down jacket obtained by sewing has a good effect of preventing down leakage.
[0018] 3) In this invention, the anti-down-leakage component is recessed inward on the side away from the seam section to form a "V" shape. During the heat-pressing process, the anti-down-leakage component can be folded better, making the contact between the inner and outer fabrics and the anti-down-leakage component more stable and tighter. This heat-pressing method is better than directly pressing the cylindrical anti-down-leakage component, making the adhesion between the inner and outer fabrics and the anti-down-leakage component tighter. Even after multiple washes, it can still maintain a good adhesion effect, so that the seam of the down jacket obtained by sewing has a good effect of preventing down leakage.

[0047] Comparative Example 3
[0048] Unlike Comparative Example 2, in this comparative example, the cylinder of the anti-fleece part 3 is concave inward on the side away from the seam section, forming a "V" shape.
[0049] Comparative Example 4
[0050] A method for preventing down leakage from seams in a down jacket, wherein the fabric structure of the down jacket includes an inner fabric 1, a down-proof component 3, and an outer fabric 2. The down-proof component 3 includes a cylinder and an integrally formed strip-shaped sewn section on one side of the cylinder.

[0051] The anti-fleece component 3 is made of elastic material;
[0052] The cylinder of the anti-slip part 3 has an internal gas channel 4. The cylinder of the anti-slip part 3 has symmetrically opened adhesive delivery chambers 5 on its upper and lower sides. The outer wall of the cylinder of the anti-slip part 3 has symmetrically opened grooves 7 on its upper and lower sides.

The cylinder of the anti-slip part 3 has several snap-fit holes 9 on its inner side.
[0053] The production method includes the following steps:
[0054] Step 1: Cut out the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2. Lay the anti-down filling part 3 flat between the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2. Use sewing equipment to sew the inner fabric 1, the anti-down filling part 3, and the outer fabric 2 together, leaving the filling opening.
[0055] Step 2: Adhesive is fed into the anti-fleece part 3 through the adhesive delivery component and spread to the outer wall of the anti-fleece part 3. The adhesive is then hot-pressed and shaped using a hot-pressing device.
[0056] The adhesive delivery assembly includes a delivery chamber sealing cover 13 connected to one end of the adhesive delivery chamber 5, a liquid delivery pipe 14 connected to the delivery chamber sealing cover 13, and a booster pump 15 connected to the liquid delivery pipe 14. The delivery chamber sealing cover 13 is snapped into the snap-fit hole 9 by a fixing post 16.
[0057] Low-temperature gas is delivered into the interior of the heat-pressed and shaped anti-fleece part 3 through the cooling component, so that the inner fabric 1, anti-fleece part 3, and outer fabric 2 are cooled and bonded together.
[0058] The cooling component includes an inner cavity sealing cover 10 connected to one end of the gas channel 4, a gas delivery pipe 11 connected to the inner cavity sealing cover 10, and a cold air blower 12 connected to the gas delivery pipe 11.

[0059] Step 3: Fill the filling port with down using the down filling equipment, sew the filling port closed, and then heat-press and shape the filling port using the heat-pressing and shaping equipment.
[0060] To verify the effect of the anti-down leakage component 3 on the down leakage effect at the seam of the down jacket, Example 1 and four comparative examples were set up, and a blank control group was also set up. The difference between the blank control group and Comparative Example 1 is that no adhesive was applied to the seam between the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2 on the opposite side, and the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2 were directly sewn together, and a down leakage test was performed. The test was divided into initial value, 50 washes, and 120 washes. Each wash was performed in a washing machine at 1200 r / min for 45 minutes. The test method and standard were in accordance with GB / T12705-2009 "Test Method for Down Leakage Resistance of Textile Fabrics". The evaluation standard for the down leakage resistance effect is as follows:
[0061] As shown in Table 1:
[0062]
[0063]
[0064] The test data is shown in Table 2:
[0065]
[0066] Experimental conclusions: As can be seen from the data of Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and the blank control group in Table 2, Example 1 uses an anti-down leakage component 3. This structure is placed between the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2 and sewn together with the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2. This can give the seam of the obtained down jacket a good anti-down leakage effect. Even after multiple washes, it can still have a good anti-down leakage effect. However, the initial anti-down leakage effect of the seam of the down jacket obtained by the technical solution of Comparative Example 1 is much worse than that of Example 1. Moreover, after multiple washes, the adhesive layer is easy to fall off, which causes the anti-down leakage effect of the seam of the down jacket to drop sharply after multiple washes.
[0067] Based on the experimental data from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 and 4, in Example 1, after opening a gas channel 4 inside the cylinder of the down-proof component 3, it is convenient for the cooling component to deliver low-temperature gas into the gas channel 4. The low-temperature gas cools the down-proof component 3, and then the adhesive is cooled by the down-proof component 3. Under the same gas volume or blowing time, this cooling method has a longer cooling effect and a better cooling effect than directly blowing the outer surface of the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2. It can make the adhesion between the inner fabric 1, the outer fabric 2 and the down-proof component 3 tighter, and can still maintain a good adhesion effect after multiple washings. Thus, the seam of the down jacket obtained by sewing has a good effect of preventing down leakage.
[0068] Based on the experimental data from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2-3, in Example 1, the cylindrical anti-down-leakage component 3 is concave inward on the side away from the seam section, forming a "V" shape. During the heat-pressing treatment of the inner fabric 1, the anti-down-leakage component 3, and the outer fabric 2, the anti-down-leakage component 3 can be folded better. This makes the contact between the inner fabric 1, the outer fabric 2, and the anti-down-leakage component 3 more stable and tighter during heat-pressing, so that the inner fabric 1, the outer fabric 2, and the anti-down-leakage component 3 can be bonded and fixed together. This heat-pressing method is more effective than directly pressing the cylindrical anti-down-leakage component 3, making the adhesion between the inner fabric 1, the outer fabric 2, and the anti-down-leakage component 3 tighter. Even after multiple washes, it can still maintain a good adhesion effect, thus giving the seam of the down jacket obtained by sewing a good effect of preventing down leakage and down penetration.
[0069] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
