Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nonwoven fabric production technology, and in particular to a washable nonwoven fabric. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development and people's increasing pursuit of quality of life, non-woven fabric products (face towels, makeup remover wipes, cotton wipes, etc.) have become an indispensable part of daily life in recent years. Non-woven fabric is a type of non-woven cloth; it is a textile made by mechanically processing and chemically treating a fiber network of short or long fibers. Unlike traditional textiles, non-woven fabric does not require spinning and weaving processes, thus its production process is simple and its applications are wide-ranging.

[0003] In order to prevent damage or breakage during production, processing and use, nonwoven fabrics in the present technology are made by directly entangled three layers of fibers through hydroentangling. However, because the three-layer fiber structure directly increases the wet strength of the nonwoven fabric, it is difficult for the nonwoven fabric to disperse when it comes into contact with water after use, and it has poor biodegradability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a washable nonwoven fabric to alleviate the technical problem in the prior art where three layers of fibers are directly entangled by hydroentangling, resulting in difficulty in dispersing when in contact with water.

[0005] This utility model provides a washable nonwoven fabric, comprising: a first composite layer, a fiber layer and a second composite layer arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0006] The first and second composite layers are made of a mixture of Tencel fiber and viscose fiber, and the fiber layer is made of wood pulp fiber; both the first and second composite layers have a number of first cross-shaped holes distributed in a matrix.

[0007] Furthermore, a second cross-shaped hole is formed on the fiber layer, and the second cross-shaped hole is located at the center position between the four first cross-shaped holes that form the smallest rectangle in the projection direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the center distance between two adjacent first cross-shaped holes is 5cm to 10cm.

[0009] Furthermore, the radial and transverse diameters of the first and second cross-shaped apertures are both 2.5cm to 5cm.

[0010] Furthermore, the viscose fiber content in the first composite layer and the second composite layer is 20% to 50%, and the Tencel fiber content in the first composite layer and the second composite layer is 50% to 80%.

[0011] Furthermore, the Tencel fibers in the first and second composite layers have a length of 6mm to 12mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the viscose fiber length in the first composite layer and the second composite layer is 6mm to 12mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the wood pulp fibers in the fiber layer have a length of 2mm to 4mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the wood pulp fibers in the fiber layer are one of softwood pulp fibers, bamboo pulp fibers, or straw pulp fibers.

[0015] Furthermore, the first composite layer, the fiber layer, and the second composite layer are entangled by hydroentangling.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model provides a washable nonwoven fabric, comprising a first composite layer, a fiber layer, and a second composite layer arranged sequentially from top to bottom; the first and second composite layers are composed of a mixture of Tencel fibers and viscose fibers, and the fiber layer is composed of wood pulp fibers; although wood pulp fibers have good air permeability and moisture absorption, their overall strength is poor. In order to increase the overall strength of the nonwoven fabric, a composite layer is set between the upper and lower layers. The Tencel fibers in the first and second composite layers have high strength, and when mixed with viscose fibers with weak moisture absorption, the strength and stability of the nonwoven fabric can be improved, and the middle fiber layer can be protected.

[0018] Both the first and second composite layers have a matrix of first cross-shaped perforations. By setting these first cross-shaped perforations, the fiber layer is allowed to come into contact with water first, causing its strength to decrease and it to separate from the first and second composite layers, thus improving the overall washability of the nonwoven fabric.

[0019] This utility model provides a washable nonwoven fabric that greatly increases the washability of the nonwoven fabric without causing damage or breakage during production, processing, and use, allowing it to disperse and degrade rapidly under the action of water flow.

[0030] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0032] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a washable nonwoven fabric, including: a first composite layer 100, a fiber layer 200 and a second composite layer 300 arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0034] The first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 are made of a mixture of Tencel fiber and viscose fiber, and the fiber layer 200 is made of wood pulp fiber; both the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 have a number of first cross-shaped holes 400 distributed in a matrix.

[0035] Specifically, the first composite layer 100, the fiber layer 200, and the second composite layer 300 are laid sequentially from top to bottom and connected using a hydroentangling or sol-gel method to form a washable nonwoven fabric. The first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 are composed of a mixture of Tencel and viscose fibers, while the middle fiber layer 200 is made of wood pulp fibers. Because wood pulp fibers have good air permeability and moisture absorption, but poor overall strength, the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 are used to increase the overall strength of the nonwoven fabric. Tencel fibers have high strength and good dimensional stability after washing; when mixed with viscose fibers, which have weak moisture absorption, this improves the strength and stability of the nonwoven fabric and protects the fiber layer 200.

[0036] It should be noted that the fiber layer 200 can also be made of 100% viscose fiber or a blend of other washable and biodegradable fibers.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the surfaces of the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 are arranged in a matrix with the same position and spacing, forming a first cross-shaped perforation 400. When in contact with water, the middle fiber layer 200 can quickly come into contact with the water first through the first cross-shaped perforation 400. When the wood pulp fiber comes into contact with water, its strength decreases, causing it to separate from the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300. This results in defects in the overall nonwoven material, thus increasing the washability of the nonwoven fabric.

[0038] In addition, by using a first cross-shaped hole 400 with the same horizontal and radial length, water can penetrate into the fiber layer 200 more evenly when passing through the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300, compared to circular or rectangular holes. At the same time, the cross-shaped hole can also prevent insufficient strength due to excessively large or uneven openings during daily use.

[0039] In an embodiment of this utility model, a second cross-shaped hole 500 is provided on the fiber layer 200. The second cross-shaped hole 500 is located at the center position between the four first cross-shaped holes 400 that form the smallest rectangle in the projection direction.

[0040] The center distance between two adjacent first cross-shaped apertures 400 is 5cm to 10cm.

[0041] The radial and transverse diameters of the first cross-shaped aperture 400 and the second cross-shaped aperture 500 are both 2.5cm to 5cm.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the fiber layer 200 has second cross-shaped holes 500, which are located at the center of the four first cross-shaped holes 400 forming the smallest rectangle in the projection direction. If the nonwoven fabric is too large and the distance between adjacent first cross-shaped holes 400 is too far, a large area of ​​the middle fiber layer 200 will not be in contact with the water flow. In this case, the second cross-shaped holes 500, which are staggered from the first cross-shaped holes 400, can make the surface of the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 at the upper and lower ends thinner at the contact with the second cross-shaped holes 500, and also accelerate the speed at which they are dispersed by water, thus improving their dispersibility.

[0043] By creating a smaller first cross-shaped hole 400, the overall strength of the nonwoven fabric can be guaranteed, the surface strength of the nonwoven fabric can be improved, and damage can be prevented due to insufficient strength of the nonwoven fabric during use.

[0044] First cross-shaped holes 400 are formed on the surfaces of the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300. The lateral and longitudinal spacing between the center cross positions of two adjacent first cross-shaped holes 400 is 5cm to 10cm. This center-to-center distance can reduce the risk of structural deformation and cracking, enhance the stability and strength of the nonwoven fabric, and also ensure that water can be evenly penetrated into the fiber layer 200 through the first cross-shaped holes 400, increasing the contact area between the fiber layer 200 and water.

[0045] In the embodiments of this utility model, the viscose fiber content in the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 is 20% to 50%, and the Tencel fiber content in the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 is 50% to 80%.

[0046] Specifically, by weight percentage, the combined weight percentage of viscose fiber and Tencel fiber is 100%. Tencel fiber has higher strength, and when blended with viscose fiber, which has lower moisture absorption, it can improve the strength and stability of the nonwoven fabric. While viscose fiber has lower strength, it provides better flexibility and comfort.

[0047] In the embodiments of this utility model, the Tencel fiber length in the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 is 6mm to 12mm.

[0048] The viscose fiber length in the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 is 6mm to 12mm.

[0049] The wood pulp fibers in fiber layer 200 have a length of 2mm to 4mm.

[0050] The wood pulp fiber of fiber layer 200 is one of softwood pulp fiber, bamboo pulp fiber or straw pulp fiber.

[0051] Specifically, the Tencel fibers and viscose fibers in the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300 are both between 6mm and 12mm in length. Longer fibers can provide better softness and comfort, while increasing the gaps between fibers, improving the moisture absorption of the nonwoven fabric, and thus increasing the washability.

[0052] The wood pulp fibers in the middle fiber layer 200 are 2mm to 4mm in length, providing a soft and delicate touch and increasing comfort.

[0053] It should be noted that the two types of fibers must be of the same length to help maintain the uniformity and consistency of the composite layer. Fibers of the same length are more likely to be evenly distributed during the composite process, which helps to improve the bonding force between the two types of fibers and enhance the overall strength of the nonwoven fabric.

[0054] In an embodiment of this utility model, the first composite layer 100, the fiber layer 200, and the second composite layer 300 are entangled by hydroentangling.

[0055] Specifically, the hydroentangling process uses high-pressure water jets to fully entangle the first composite layer 100, the fiber layer 200, and the second composite layer 300. Without adding any chemical adhesives, high-strength nonwoven fabric is produced by relying on the cohesive force of the intertwined fibers.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, the working process of the biodegradable antibacterial nonwoven fabric provided by this utility model is as follows: the first composite layer 100, the fiber layer 200 and the second composite layer 300 are entangled by hydroentangling to obtain a washable nonwoven fabric; when it comes into contact with water, the water flow preferentially contacts the fiber layer 200 through the first cross-shaped holes 400 on both ends. The strength of the fiber layer 200 decreases after it comes into contact with water. In addition, the presence of the second cross-shaped holes 500 causes defects in the entire nonwoven fabric, causing it to separate from the first composite layer 100 and the second composite layer 300, making the interlayer easier to be washed away and enhancing its washability.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
