Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to a cycling garment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rise of national fitness, cycling has become one of the more popular sports at present. In the process of cycling, special cycling garments and corresponding protective equipment are often needed to protect the limbs and improve the safety of cycling.

[0003] At present, the cycling garments on the market are mainly made of fabrics, and the materials of injection molding or foaming are introduced into the key limb parts through the method of sewing to deal with possible situations in the process of cycling and to protect the limbs. However, in actual use, the following technical problems exist:

[0004] 1. The foaming material used in the garment has poor air permeability and sweat resistance because of the long-time contact and fit with the cycling tools during use, so it not only reduces the comfort of contact, but also increases the weight after absorbing sweat, which is not conducive to cycling, and in addition, it is more stuffy and the body feeling is poor.

[0005] 2. Once falling or accidental contact occurs, the probability of limb injury is large due to the limited elastic buffering capacity of the foaming material, and in order to improve the elastic buffering capacity, only the thickness of the foaming material can be increased to overcome it. However, after the thickness is increased, not only the flexibility is affected, but also the foaming material cannot be evenly dissipated under stress, which affects the cycling experience. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an improved cycling garment.

[0007] A cycling garment comprises a garment body and a plurality of limb protection structures, each of the limb protection structures comprising a lattice point array structure elastomer, the lattice point array structure elastomer being a thermoplastic elastomer and forming a primary protection zone and a secondary protection zone, wherein the elastic support force formed by the primary protection zone is greater than the elastic support force formed by the secondary protection zone, and each thermoplastic elastomer is respectively connected to each protection part of the garment body from the primary protection zone and the secondary protection zone.

[0008] According to one specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present application, each limb protection structure further comprises an elastic resin layer, wherein the elastic resin layer is formed in at least the internal pores of the thermoplastic elastomer and combined with the thermoplastic elastomer. In this way, the air permeability is improved, the use comfort is increased, and the weight is lighter while meeting the need of providing the required impact buffering force.

[0012] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present application, the porosity of the thermoplastic elastomer is 5% to 40%; and / or, the pressure required for each limb protection structure to be compressed to a deformation of 50% is greater than 100 N.

[0013] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present application, a plurality of air ducts are formed on the thermoplastic elastomer and are in communication with each other. The cell-specific structure and air duct design can make use of the air pressure difference to make the airflow enter the structure inside during cycling, effectively increasing the air permeability and sweat resistance.

[0014] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present application, at least one of the area, rod diameter and sintering density of the adjacent two cell units of the lattice structure elastomer is different. The 3D printed lattice structure has a lattice structure, density and rod diameter, so that the functional structure in the cycling garment can effectively absorb and rebound the impact force generated when it suddenly contacts the ground, thereby protecting the limbs.

[0015] Preferably, each protection site includes the wrist, elbow, shoulder, back, chest, waist, abdomen, hip, hip, thigh, knee and ankle.

[0016] Preferably, each thermoplastic elastomer is connected to each protection site of the garment body from the periphery and / or the outer side.

[0017] According to another specific implementation and preferred aspect of the present application, each limb protection structure further includes a breathable fabric layer, the breathable fabric layer is located on the outer side and / or the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer, and the material of the breathable fabric layer is a breathable and skin-friendly elastic fabric; or / and, the material of the thermoplastic elastomer is thermoplastic polyurethane.

[0018] Preferably, air-permeable holes are also formed on the elastic fabric, and the air-permeable holes and the lattice structure are combined to guide air into the pores of the 3D-printed lattice structure block, effectively improving the overall air permeability and sweat-wicking property and improving the wearing comfort. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has good elasticity, outstanding load-carrying capacity, oil resistance, water resistance, and mildew resistance, and is thermoplastic and easy to process by 3D printing, and is therefore extremely suitable for the use environment, performance requirements, and process requirements of cycling sports.

[0019] In some embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer is subjected to coating treatment by using a treatment liquid containing an elastic resin or a raw material thereof and a curing agent.

[0020] In some embodiments, the coating treatment is performed by spraying, dipping, or electroplating, and the treatment liquid penetrates into the internal pores of the lattice point array structure elastomer during the coating treatment.

[0021] In some embodiments, the coating treatment is performed for 5-20 min, and the heating treatment is performed for 3-12 h.

[0022] Further, the mass concentration of the elastic resin in the treatment liquid is 30-60%, and the mass concentration of the curing agent is 1-10%. In some embodiments, the mass concentration of the elastic resin in the treatment liquid is 40-55%, and the mass concentration of the curing agent is 2-5%.

[0023] In some embodiments, the heating and curing are performed at a temperature of 80-100℃, and the coating treatment and the heating and curing are performed once or repeatedly 1-3 times after the first time.

[0024] In addition, the resin constituting the thermoplastic elastomer is one or a combination of two selected from thermoplastic polyurethane resin and thermoplastic polyethylene resin.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic resin constituting the elastic resin layer is one or a combination of two or more selected from polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, and silicone resin.

[0026] The present inventors have found that, by fully contacting a crystal lattice structure elastomer with a treatment liquid containing an elastic resin or a raw material for forming an elastic resin, a resin curing agent, and heating and curing, an elastic resin layer is formed in the internal pores of the crystal lattice structure elastomer and on the outer surface of the crystal lattice structure elastomer, the elastic resin is cured, bonded and compounded with the crystal lattice structure elastomer, fills the internal pores of the crystal lattice structure elastomer, and a thermoplastic elastomer with excellent mechanical properties can be obtained. Under the same weight, the thermoplastic elastomer has higher compression resistance; under the condition of reaching the same compression resistance, the material has lower weight. In addition, the elastic resin layer on the outer surface of the crystal lattice structure elastomer can reduce the surface roughness of the material, making the surface of the thermoplastic elastomer smooth.

[0027] The crystal lattice structure elastomer is prepared by 3D printing. By adjusting parameters such as 3D printing temperature and laser energy, the sintering density and porosity of the crystal lattice structure elastomer can be controlled, and then the depth and quality of the penetration of the elastic resin can be controlled. The lower the temperature and laser power, the higher the porosity of the printed crystal lattice structure elastomer, the higher the content of the elastic resin in the thermoplastic elastomer, and the better the compression resistance of the thermoplastic elastomer.

[0028] In some specific embodiments, the parameters used are as follows: temperature is 80-140℃, laser power is 30-100W, scanning speed is 4000-10000mm / s, and scanning interval is 0.1-0.3mm.

[0029] Meanwhile, the lattice cell structure constituting the crystal lattice structure elastomer is not particularly limited. The lattice cell structure can be common cubic, star-shaped, octagonal, hexagonal, rhombic and tetrahedral, etc.

[0030] Thanks to the implementation of the above technical solutions, the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0031] On the one hand, the thermoplastic elastomer with primary and secondary partitions adopted by the present application can not only perform key protection for each protective part, but also can balance the stress dissipation in the buffering process, improving the riding experience. On the other hand, it has high ventilation and moisture removal performance, which not only improves the comfort and stuffiness of contact, but also makes the overall garment naturally return to the initial profile after long-term use, the internal impact force changes less, and the product service life is longer.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] As shown in the drawings, the riding clothes involved in the present embodiment comprises a clothing body 1 and a limb protection structure 2. Figure 1

[0044] Each protection site includes wrist, elbow, shoulder, back, chest, waist, abdomen, crotch, hip, thigh, knee, ankle, and the limb protection structure 2 is provided corresponding to each protection site.

[0045] As shown in the drawings, the protection site takes the knee as an example, and the specific structure is as follows. Figure 2

[0046] Specifically, each limb protection structure 2 comprises a lattice point array structure elastomer 20 and an elastic resin layer.

[0047] As shown in the drawings, the protection site takes the knee as an example, and the specific structure is as follows. Figure 3 Figure 4 ​​​As shown, the lattice point array structure elastomer 20 is a thermoplastic elastomer and forms the primary protection area 20a and the secondary protection area 20b, wherein the primary protection area 20a forms an elastic support force greater than the elastic support force formed by the secondary protection area 20b.

[0048] In this example, the porosity of the thermoplastic elastomer is 5% to 30%, and the TPU material is 3D printed. Such material has good elasticity, outstanding load capacity, oil resistance, water resistance, and mold resistance, and good thermoplasticity, which is convenient for 3D printing processing. Therefore, it is extremely suitable for the use environment, performance requirements, and process requirements of cycling sports.

[0049] A plurality of air ducts f are formed in the thermoplastic elastomer and are interconnected. The cell-specific structure and air duct design can utilize air pressure difference to make air flow into the structure during cycling, effectively increasing air permeability and sweat resistance.

[0050] In this example, part of the elastic resin layer is formed in the internal pores of the thermoplastic elastomer and is combined with the thermoplastic elastomer; the other part is formed on the outer surface of the thermoplastic elastomer. In this way, the impact force provided by the cushioning is met, the air permeability is improved, the use comfort is increased, and the weight is lighter; at the same time, the strength, elasticity, and impact resistance of the thermoplastic elastomer are further improved, and the overall thickness is not increased.

[0051] The hardness of the elastic resin constituting the elastic resin layer is greater than 50A Shore hardness and less than 40D Shore hardness, the viscosity at 25°C is less than 12000 cP, the tensile strength is greater than 5 MPa, and the elongation at break is greater than 120%.

[0052] The mass of the elastic resin layer is 10% to 30% of the mass of the lattice point array structure elastomer. The strength, elasticity, and impact resistance of the thermoplastic elastomer are improved, and the weight is optimized under the premise of sufficient elastic cushioning capacity.

[0053] The pressure required to compress each limb protection structure to a deformation of 50% is greater than 80N.

[0054] Each of the above limb protection structures further includes a breathable fabric layer 21, which is located on the inner side of the thermoplastic elastomer, and the material of the breathable fabric layer 21 is an elastic fabric that is breathable and skin-friendly.

[0055] Breathable holes 210 are also provided on the elastic fabric, which are combined with the lattice structure to guide air into the pores of the 3D printed lattice structure block, effectively improving the overall air permeability and sweat resistance, and improving the wearing comfort. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has good elasticity, outstanding load capacity, oil resistance, water resistance, and mold resistance, and good thermoplasticity, which is convenient for 3D printing processing. Therefore, it is extremely suitable for the use environment, performance requirements, and process requirements of cycling sports.

[0056] In addition, at least one of the area, the rod diameter, and the sintering density of the two adjacent unit cells of the lattice structure elastomer 20 is different. The 3D-printed lattice structure has a change in the lattice structure, the density, and the rod diameter, so that the functional structure in the cycling clothes can effectively absorb and rebound the impact force generated when the functional structure suddenly contacts the ground, thereby protecting the limbs.

[0057] That is, the change in the lattice structure, the density, and the rod diameter is achieved by adjusting one or a combination of the rod diameter of the lattice cell and the lattice shape.

[0058] At the same time, each thermoplastic elastomer is connected to each protective part of the garment body from the periphery.

[0059] In summary, in this example, the forming process of the limb protection structure (protective part: knee) includes the following steps:

[0060] 1) Using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as raw material, a lattice structure elastomer is 3D-printed by powder sintering, and the process parameters are as follows: main temperature 100-120℃, laser power 60W, scanning speed 4000-10000mm / s, and scanning interval 0.3mm.

[0061] 2) 93 parts by mass of a commercially available polyurethane resin solution with a mass concentration of 50%, 7 parts by mass of an isocyanate curing agent, are uniformly mixed and dispersed by a high-speed stirrer to obtain an impregnation treatment solution. The polyurethane resin has a hardness of 70A, a viscosity of 10000cP at 25℃, a tensile strength of 10MPa, and an elongation at break of 210%.

[0062] 3) The printed lattice structure elastomer is soaked in the impregnation treatment solution prepared in step 2) for 8 minutes, then taken out and dried, and then placed in a vacuum oven at 80±2℃ for 2.5h to obtain a composite material sample.

[0063] The sintering density and porosity of the lattice structure elastomer obtained at different scanning speeds, and the weight of the lattice structure elastomer before and after treatment with polyurethane resin and the pressure at 50% compression deformation are shown in Table 1 below:

[0064] Table 1

[0065]

[0066] As can be seen from Table 1 above, by controlling the process parameters of 3D printing, the sintering density and porosity of the lattice structure elastomer can be adjusted, and the more the content of polyurethane resin in the thermoplastic elastomer, the more the compression resistance of the composite elastomer material is improved.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] The lattice structure riding clothes related to the embodiment have the same structure as that of embodiment 1, and the difference is as follows.

[0069] In this example, the forming process of the limb protection structure (protection site: knee) includes the following steps:

[0070] 1) Using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as raw material, a 3D printer is used to print a lattice point array structure elastomer by powder sintering, and the process parameters are as follows: main temperature 100-120℃, laser power 68W, scanning speed 6000mm / s, and scanning interval 0.2mm;

[0071] 2) 97 parts by mass of a commercially available acrylic resin solution with a mass concentration of about 50%, 3 parts by mass of a curing agent 4,4'-methylenebis(2-methylcyclohexylamine), and a high-speed stirrer are used to mix and disperse uniformly to obtain an impregnation treatment solution, wherein the hardness of the acrylic resin is 65A, the viscosity at 25℃ is 10000cP, the tensile strength is 12MPa, and the elongation at break is 180%;

[0072] 3) The printed TPU lattice point array structure elastomer is soaked in the impregnation treatment solution for 10min, and then dried after taking out, and then placed in a vacuum oven at 80℃ for 5h to obtain a thermoplastic elastomer sample;

[0073] 4) The cured sample is placed in the impregnation treatment solution again, soaked for 10min, dried, and cured.

[0074] That is, two layers of elastic resin layers are formed on the surface of the formed thermoplastic elastomer,

[0075] At the same time, the weight of the thermoplastic elastomer is increased from 19.25g to 23.22g, and the pressure when the material compression deformation is 50% is increased from 105.4N to 165.3N. The density of the prepared thermoplastic elastomer is 1.1g / cm 3 .

[0076] Example 3

[0077] The lattice structure riding clothes related to the embodiment have the same structure as that of embodiment 2, and the difference is as follows.

[0078] In step 4) of the forming process of the limb protection structure (protection site: knee) in this example, after soaking for 10 minutes, spinning and curing, step 4) is performed again, and a three-layer elastic resin layer is formed on the surface of the lattice point array structure elastomer formed in the thermoplastic elastomer. At the same time, the weight of the thermoplastic elastomer is increased from 19.25 g before processing to 25.22 g, and the pressure at a material compression deformation of 50% is increased from 105.4 N before processing to 190.3 N. The density of the prepared thermoplastic elastomer is 1.1 g / cm 3 .

[0079] Therefore, the present application has the following advantages:

[0080] 1. The present application combines the lattice point array structure elastomer with the elastic resin coating, so that the elastic resin penetrates into the internal pores of the lattice point array structure elastomer and the two are tightly combined. Unexpectedly, without affecting the advantageous properties of the lattice point array structure elastomer, the compression resistance of the material is significantly improved, while the volume of the material remains unchanged and the weight only increases slightly. Compared with the lattice point array structure elastomer without the combined elastic resin coating, the volume of the thermoplastic elastomer of the present application is significantly smaller and the weight is significantly lighter when achieving the same compression resistance; the compression resistance of the thermoplastic elastomer of the present application is significantly higher when the weight is the same.

[0081] 2. The preparation process of the thermoplastic elastomer of the present application uses 3D printing to prepare the lattice point array structure elastomer and uses coating treatment and curing process. On the one hand, by adjusting the 3D printing temperature and laser power and other parameters, the sintering density and porosity of the lattice point array structure elastomer can be controlled, and then the penetration depth and quality of the elastic resin can be controlled, and finally the improvement degree of the compression performance of the thermoplastic elastomer can be controlled, so that various performance thermoplastic elastomers can be prepared flexibly to meet the individual needs in various application scenarios. On the other hand, by using the coating treatment and curing process, the combination between the lattice point array structure elastomer and the elastic resin coating is more sufficient and tight, which helps to improve the strength and service life of the thermoplastic elastomer.

[0082] 3、The application can support the body, absorb and balance the impact force, improve the air permeability and moisture removal performance in the cycling movement. The structure can provide better protection for the cyclist, reduce the friction risk of the key parts, and the structure of the application can have high ventilation and moisture removal performance, so that even if sweating, it will not adversely affect the comfort of use; the application is different from the existing foaming, injection molding and fabric composite product, even if used for a long time, the special lattice structure can make the overall clothing naturally restore to the initial profile, the internal impact force changes less, and the product service life is longer; in addition, it can also provide protection for cycling, support between the body and the cycling tool, and improve the air permeability and sweat resistance of the contact part, improve the cycling comfort, while improving the comfort, it can also reduce the damage to the key parts of the limbs when contacting the ground in an emergency.

[0083] 4、In the wrist, elbow, shoulder, back, chest, waist, abdomen, hip, hip, thigh, knee, ankle and other parts of the cycling clothing, the elastic protection is formed, the 3D printing lattice structure has lattice structure, density and rod diameter change, so that the functional structure in the cycling clothing can effectively absorb and rebound the impact force when contacting the ground in an emergency, thereby playing a role in protecting the limbs, and the special structure of the unit cell and the air duct design can make the air flow into the inside of the structure by using the air pressure difference in the cycling process, effectively increasing the air permeability and sweat resistance.

[0084] 5、The air permeable hole is also provided on the elastic fabric, and the air permeable hole and the lattice structure are combined to guide the air into the pores of the 3D printing lattice structure block, effectively improving the overall air permeability and sweat resistance, and improving the wearing comfort.
