Patent document CN217455153U mainly reduces the probability of bacterial growth by improving the air permeability of the fabric, but does not take into account the problem that the antibacterial effect of existing textile fabrics will be greatly reduced after long-term use; 3. Patent document CN214563412U mainly improves the air permeability of the fabric by providing support fibers, without considering the poor durability and stability of the antibacterial properties of existing textile fabrics; 4. In patent document CN118560124B, the antibacterial, UV resistance and breathability of knitted fabrics are improved mainly through the synergistic effect of various groups of antibacterial and breathable enhancement components. However, it does not take into account that existing textile fabrics have poor feel and softness while taking into account both breathability and antibacterial properties. Summary of the Invention

[0018] 4. The present invention uses the neutral protease in the enzyme solution to decompose impurities and part of the protein on the surface of the cotton yarn, making the fiber smoother and softer, reducing the entanglement between fibers, thereby improving the feel and softness of the fabric. At the same time, after the impurities on the surface of the fabric are removed and the fiber structure is optimized by enzyme treatment, the gaps between the fibers are increased, the air circulation is enhanced, and the breathability of the fabric is improved. In addition, the enzyme treatment process can promote the further uniform distribution of silver ions.

Install 80S cotton yarn and combed cotton on the creel of a computer knitting machine. Set the program of the computer knitting machine according to the stitch requirements of double-layer plain weave and mesh jacquard and begin knitting the inner braided layer. During the knitting process, monitor the knitting density in real time to ensure that the requirement of 120 yarns per square centimeter is met. Middle layer weaving: Replace the yarn, install 40S cotton yarn on the creel, select a loose honeycomb structure, reset the knitting program of the computer knitting machine, and start weaving the middle layer.

Then, soak the washed fabric in a solution containing a softener at a concentration of 3 g / L for 15 minutes. After soaking, dehydrate and air dry. S8. Use heat setting equipment to set the softened fabric, set the temperature to 160°C, and the time to 5 minutes.
[0021] Furthermore, in S1, the Xinjiang long-staple cotton raw material is put into the cotton cleaning machine, and the drum speed of the cotton cleaning machine is set to 300-400r / min. The impurities, cotton seeds and other large particles in the cotton are removed by the action of the beater and the dust stick, so that the cotton is initially formed into loose and uniform cotton rolls, each roll weighing about 5-8kg. Then, the cotton rolls after cotton cleaning are fed into the cotton carding machine, and the cylinder speed of the cotton carding machine is adjusted to 300-350r / min and the cover speed is 100-120mm / min. The cotton carding machine combs the fibers in the cotton rolls into a single fiber state, removes short fibers and fine impurities, and makes uniform cotton strips. The quantitative weight of the cotton strips is controlled at 5-6g / 5m, and then 6-8 The cotton strips are put into the drawing frame and combined together, and the drafting multiple of the drawing frame is set to 6-8 times to further improve the uniformity of the cotton strips. The quantitative amount of the cotton strips after drawing is 4-5g / 5m. The cotton strips after drawing are fed into the roving frame for drawing and twisting operations. The drafting multiple of the roving frame is set to 8-10 times, and the twist coefficient is controlled at 70-80. 40S, 50S and 80S rovings are made respectively. Then the rovings are installed on the spinning frame, and the spindle speed of the spinning frame is adjusted to 12000-15000r / min. Through drawing and twisting, 40S, 50S and 80S cotton yarns are made respectively, and the CV value of the cotton yarn uniformity is controlled at 12%-14%.
[0022] In S2, 20 g of gelatin and 30 g of gum arabic were weighed and placed in two beakers. 1000 mL of distilled water was added to each beaker and stirred in a 50°C water bath to dissolve the mixture. A 2% gelatin aqueous solution and a 3% gum arabic aqueous solution were prepared. 50 mL of tea tree essential oil and thyme essential oil were weighed and placed in another beaker, mixed thoroughly, and 10-15 mL of Tween-80 was added as an emulsifier. Preparation of emulsion: Pour the gelatin aqueous solution and the gum arabic aqueous solution into a large beaker in a ratio of 1:1, stir evenly with a glass rod, and adjust the pH value to 4.5. Slowly drip the mixed essential oil into the composite colloid solution at a stirring speed of 1300r / min, and continue stirring for 30-40min to form a stable O / W type emulsion. Then transfer the emulsion to a large container, cool it to 15°C, and slowly add 100-150mL of 10% sodium sulfate solution by mass. Continue stirring for 60min, and then add 50-80mL of glutaraldehyde solution for solidification treatment. The solidification time is 2h. After solidification, filter it through a filter device. , collect the microcapsules, and then wash them with distilled water for 3-5 times to remove residual chemical reagents to obtain pure antibacterial agent microcapsules. The prepared antibacterial agent microcapsules are evenly dispersed in an environmentally friendly solvent such as an ethanol-water mixed solution with a volume ratio of 1:1 to prepare a solution with a microcapsule concentration of 10-15g / L. The cotton yarn is immersed in the solution using a padding process for 2-3 minutes, and then dried at a low temperature (60-70℃) for 30-40 minutes to adhere the antibacterial agent microcapsules to the cotton yarn and dry it.
[0023] In S3, the dried cotton yarn is placed in a clean container, and a silver nitrate solution with a concentration of 0.1 g / L is added. The amount of solution is appropriate for completely immersing the cotton yarn. The container is placed in a constant temperature water bath at 45°C and immersed for 50 minutes. During this period, it is gently stirred every 10-15 minutes to allow the silver ions to be fully adsorbed on the cotton yarn. After the immersion is completed, the cotton yarn is taken out and rinsed with plenty of clean water 3-5 times to remove the unadsorbed silver ions.
[0024] In S4, 20g of neutral protease is weighed and placed in a clean container. 10L of phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7 is added and stirred to dissolve. 5-10g of JFC penetrant and 10-15g of ester-based quaternary ammonium softener are then added and stirred thoroughly to prepare an enzyme solution. Silver ion-loaded cotton yarn is placed in the prepared enzyme solution at a bath ratio of 1:20 and treated in a constant temperature water bath at 50°C for 90min. During the treatment, a stirrer is used to continuously stir at a speed of 100-150r / min. After the treatment, the cotton yarn is rinsed with clean water 3-5 times to remove residual enzyme solution and impurities. JFC penetrant can reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the enzyme solution to quickly penetrate into the cotton yarn fibers, improving the efficiency and uniformity of enzyme treatment. Amino silicone oil softener can initially impart a certain softness to the cotton yarn during the enzyme treatment process. It has good compatibility with the enzyme solution and other additives and does not affect the enzyme activity and treatment effect.
[0025] In S5, 80S cotton yarn and combed cotton yarn were installed on the creel of the computer knitting machine. The computer knitting machine was programmed according to the stitch requirements of double-layer plain weave and mesh jacquard. During the knitting process, the knitting density was monitored in real time, and the knitting density was measured every 10-15 cm to ensure that it met the requirement of 120 yarns per square centimeter. If the knitting density did not meet the requirement, the computer knitting machine parameters were adjusted in a timely manner. The yarn was then replaced. 40S cotton yarn was installed on the creel, and a loose honeycomb structure was selected. The knitting program of the computer knitting machine was reset. The knitting density was also monitored in real time, and the same measurement frequency as for the inner knitting layer was used to ensure that it reached 60 yarns per square centimeter. During the knitting process, the yarn tension was uniform to avoid inconsistent fabric tightness. Finally, the yarn was replaced again, and 50S cotton yarn was installed. The computer knitting machine was programmed according to the stitch requirements of twill weave to knit the outer knitting layer, and the knitting density was monitored to achieve 90 yarns per square centimeter. After knitting, the fabric was preliminarily inspected for problems such as missed stitches and pattern errors.
[0026] In S6, the woven three-layer fabric is placed on the conveyor belt of the solvent-free laminating equipment in sequence, the lamination temperature is set to 120-130°C, and the pressure is set to 0.5-1MPa. The three-layer fabric is compounded together by the laminating equipment. The compounded fabric must be flat and free of bubbles, and the layers must be tightly bonded.
[0027] In S7, the composite fabric is placed in a washing machine, and sufficient clean water is added. The washing temperature is 50°C and the washing time is 30 minutes. During the washing process, a small amount of mild detergent, such as 0.5-1g / L non-ionic detergent, can be appropriately added to remove surface impurities and residual chemicals. After washing, the fabric is taken out and rinsed with clean water.
[0028] In S8, the washed fabric is placed in a solution containing a softener and soaked for 15 minutes. The concentration of the softener is 3 g / L. After the soaking is completed, the fabric is placed in a dehydrator for dehydration and then dried in a cool and ventilated place.
[0029] Through different yarn specifications and weaving structures, each woven layer is given different functions. The inner woven layer is tightly woven and uses a special needle method to ensure the comfort of contact with the skin and the continuous release of antibacterial agents. The loose honeycomb structure of the middle woven layer forms a large-pore channel, which greatly improves the overall breathability of the fabric. The twill weave of the outer woven layer enhances the wear resistance and anti-pilling performance of the fabric, while also protecting the internal structure.
[0030] The performance test results are as follows: Test items Detection data Air permeability (mm / s) 280-320 Antibacterial rate (against Escherichia coli) 98.5 Antibacterial rate (against Staphylococcus aureus) 97 Antibacterial rate (against Candida albicans) 96.5 Antibacterial persistence (antibacterial rate after washing 20 times) Still maintains at 90%-92% Softness (feel rating, 1-10 points) 8-9 Breaking strength (warp / N) 300-330N Breaking strength (weft direction / N) 280-300N Wear resistance (surface condition after 5000 frictions) Slightly fuzzy, no obvious damage Formaldehyde content (mg / kg) <10 pH value 6.0-6.5 Comparative Example 1, A single braided structure is used, and the remaining steps are the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0031] Comparative Example 2, Without using microcapsules to encapsulate the antibacterial agent, the antibacterial fiber and the natural cotton fiber are directly blended in a certain proportion, and the blended yarn is produced through a spinning process. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0032] Comparative Example 3: The cotton yarn was not subjected to silver ion loading operation, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 1.
