Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing fabric technology, and more specifically, to a fabric and temperature-adaptive deformable clothing. Background Technology

[0002] Human needs for textiles have evolved from simply covering the body and keeping warm to prioritizing thermal comfort; traditional clothing can no longer meet these needs. While thermal performance fabrics have emerged and continued to develop, enabling people to stay cool or warm for extended periods, they cannot adaptively regulate temperature according to environmental changes. When the weather changes suddenly, the fabric fails to adjust to the temperature, reducing its comfort and resulting in a less pleasant wearing experience.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the comfort of fabrics has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a fabric that improves the comfort of the fabric.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a temperature-adaptive deformation garment using the above-mentioned fabric.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fabric comprising:

[0008] The fabric body is a sandwich structure, and the fabric body includes a first surface layer and a second surface layer, with a deformation cavity formed between the first surface layer and the second surface layer;

[0009] The deformable membrane includes a first deformable membrane and a second deformable membrane. The first deformable membrane is attached to the first surface layer and located within the deformation cavity. The second deformable membrane is attached to the second surface layer and located within the deformation cavity. The shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane is greater than that of the first deformable membrane.

[0010] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the deformable film is a TPU film, and the glass transition temperature of the first deformable film is greater than that of the second deformable film.

[0011] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film is 30% to 50% greater than that of the first deformable film.

[0012] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, when the ambient temperature is a first preset temperature, the second deformable film is in a first deformed state to improve the warmth retention of the fabric body; when the ambient temperature is a second preset temperature, the second deformable film is in a second deformed state to improve the heat dissipation of the fabric body.

[0013] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the first preset temperature is 10℃~15℃.

[0014] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the second preset temperature is 35℃~40℃.

[0015] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the first deformation state is the curled deformation state of the second deformation film, and the second deformation state is the initial state of the second deformation film.

[0016] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the second deformable film is rolled up and arched toward the second surface layer side.

[0017] Optionally, in the above-mentioned fabric, the fabric body is cotton fabric or polyester fabric.

[0018] A temperature-adaptive deformable garment includes a fabric, said fabric being the fabric described in any of the preceding claims.

[0019] The fabric provided by this invention comprises a first deformable film attached to a first surface layer of the fabric body, and a second deformable film attached to a second surface layer of the fabric body. Both the first and second deformable films are located within a deformation cavity formed between the first and second surface layers, and the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film is greater than that of the first deformable film. When the external environment is cold, because the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film is greater than that of the first deformable film, the second deformable film is more prone to curling and deformation, thereby expanding the deformation cavity and creating more air between the first and second deformable films. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, it will block the human body from the external environment, achieving a heat insulation function, thus keeping the heat generated by the human body within the fabric and achieving warmth. When the external environment is hot, the second deformable film returns to its initial state, reducing the air between the first and second deformable films, decreasing the warmth retention, and allowing the heat generated by the human body to dissipate more quickly, thereby achieving a heat dissipation and cooling effect.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the fabric provided by the present invention achieves adaptive adjustment of the fabric under different ambient temperatures by having different shrinkage rates of the first deformation film attached to the first surface layer of the fabric body and the second deformation film attached to the second surface layer of the fabric body. This solves the problem that the fabric of clothing cannot adjust according to the temperature when the weather changes suddenly, thereby improving the comfort of the fabric. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the fabric in the second state provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] Among them, 100 is the fabric body, 101 is the first surface layer, 102 is the second surface layer, 103 is the first deformation membrane, 104 is the second deformation membrane, and 105 is the deformation cavity. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The core of this invention lies in providing a fabric to improve the comfort of the fabric.

[0026] Another key aspect of this invention is to provide a temperature-adaptive deformation garment using the aforementioned fabric.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention discloses a fabric comprising a fabric body 100 and a deformation membrane. It should be noted that in the prior art, with the emergence and continuous development of thermal performance fabrics, people can maintain a cool or warm state for an extended period. However, these fabrics cannot adaptively regulate temperature according to environmental changes. When the weather changes suddenly, the fabric cannot adjust to the temperature, reducing the comfort of the clothing and resulting in a poor wearing experience. The fabric provided by this invention achieves adaptive adjustment of the fabric under different environmental temperatures by using a first deformation membrane 103 attached to the first surface layer 101 of the fabric body 100 and a second deformation membrane 104 attached to the second surface layer 102 of the fabric body 100 with different shrinkage rates. This solves the problem that the fabric cannot adjust to the temperature when the weather changes suddenly, thereby improving the comfort of the fabric.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fabric body 100 has a sandwich structure and includes two surface layers. For ease of understanding, the two surface layers are defined as the first surface layer 101 and the second surface layer 102, respectively. A deformation cavity 105 is formed between the first surface layer 101 and the second surface layer 102. Specifically, the fabric body 100 can be made of cotton or polyester fabric. The deformation membrane is adhered to the surface layer of the fabric body 100 and is located inside the fabric body 100, that is, the deformation membrane is located inside the deformation cavity 105. This allows the deformation membrane to deform within the deformation cavity 105 when the external ambient temperature changes, thereby achieving the self-adjustment of the fabric and improving its comfort.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the deformable membrane includes a first deformable membrane 103 and a second deformable membrane 104. The first deformable membrane 103 is attached to the first surface layer 101 and located within the deformation cavity 105. The second deformable membrane 104 is attached to the second surface layer 102 and located within the deformation cavity 105. The shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane 104 is greater than that of the first deformable membrane 103. Specifically, the first deformable membrane 103 is bonded to the inner side of the first surface layer 101 by an adhesive, and the second deformable membrane 104 is bonded to the inner side of the second surface layer 102 by an adhesive, meaning that both the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104 are located within the deformation cavity 105. Figure 2 As shown, when the external environment is cold, because the shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane 104 is greater than that of the first deformable membrane 103, the second deformable membrane 104 is more prone to curling and deformation, thereby supporting the deformation cavity 105. This results in more air between the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, it will block the human body from the external environment, achieving a heat insulation function. Consequently, the heat generated by the human body will be retained inside the fabric, achieving warmth retention. Figure 1 As shown, when the external environment is high, the second deformable membrane 104 returns to its initial state, which reduces the air between the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104, reduces the heat retention and heat insulation performance, and allows the heat generated by the human body to dissipate more quickly, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation and cooling.

[0031] The fabric provided by the present invention comprises a first deformation film 103 attached to a first surface layer 101 of the fabric body 100, and a second deformation film 104 attached to a second surface layer 102 of the fabric body 100. Both the first deformation film 103 and the second deformation film 104 are located within a deformation cavity 105 formed between the first surface layer 101 and the second surface layer 102, and the shrinkage rate of the second deformation film 104 is greater than the shrinkage rate of the first deformation film 103. When the ambient temperature is low, the second deformable membrane 104 has a greater shrinkage rate than the first deformable membrane 103, making it easier for the second deformable membrane 104 to curl and deform, thus supporting the deformation cavity 105. This results in more air between the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, it will block the human body from the external environment, achieving a heat insulation function. Consequently, the heat generated by the human body will be retained inside the fabric, achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature is high, the second deformable membrane 104 returns to its initial state, reducing the air between the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104, thus decreasing the heat retention. At this time, the heat generated by the human body can dissipate more quickly, thereby achieving a heat dissipation and cooling effect.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the fabric provided by the present invention achieves adaptive adjustment of the fabric under different ambient temperatures by having different shrinkage rates of the first deformation film 103 attached to the first surface layer 101 of the fabric body 100 and the second deformation film 104 attached to the second surface layer 102 of the fabric body 100. This solves the problem that the fabric of clothing cannot adjust according to the temperature when the weather changes suddenly, thereby improving the comfort of the fabric.

[0033] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the deformable membrane is a TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes, hereinafter referred to as TPU) film, and the glass transition temperature of the first deformable membrane 103 is higher than that of the second deformable membrane 104, thereby making the shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane 104 greater than that of the first deformable membrane 103. Specifically, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane 104 is 30% to 50% greater than that of the first deformable membrane 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable membrane 104 is 1.3 to 1.5 times that of the first deformable membrane 103. When the ambient temperature is a first preset temperature, the second deformable membrane 104 is in a first deformed state to improve the warmth retention of the fabric body 100; when the ambient temperature is a second preset temperature, the second deformable membrane 104 is in a second deformed state to improve the heat dissipation of the fabric body 100. The first preset temperature is 10℃~15℃, meaning that when the fabric is in a low-temperature environment, the second deformation film 104 is in a first deformation state, and this first deformation state is the curled deformation state of the second deformation film 104. Specifically, the second deformation film 104 curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, at this time, the second deformable membrane 104 supports the deformable cavity 105, resulting in more air between the first deformable membrane 103 and the second deformable membrane 104. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, it will block the human body from the external environment, achieving a heat insulation function. This allows the heat generated by the human body to be retained inside the fabric, achieving warmth. The second preset temperature is 35℃~40℃, meaning that when the fabric is in a high-temperature environment, the second deformable membrane 104 is in a second deformed state, and this second deformed state is the initial state of the second deformable membrane 104, i.e., the original state before curling and deformation, such as... Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or even eliminating the air between the first deformation membrane 103 and the second deformation membrane 104. This causes the loss of poor heat conductors, reducing the fabric's warmth retention and thermal insulation performance, thus allowing body heat to dissipate rapidly, achieving a cooling effect and improving the fabric's comfort. It should be noted that when the temperature is low, the first deformation membrane 103 will also shrink to a small extent. Because the shrinkage rate of the second deformation membrane 104 is greater than that of the first deformation membrane 103, the shrinkage deformation of the second deformation membrane 104 is more pronounced than that of the first deformation membrane 103. Furthermore, since the deformation membrane is made of TPU material, it arches towards the heat source, keeping the fabric surface flat and improving its aesthetics. Simultaneously, the TPU film possesses high strength, abrasion resistance, and high elasticity, and also has good hydrolysis resistance, allowing the TPU film and fabric to meet the washability requirements of the garment after lamination.

[0034] This invention also discloses a temperature-adaptive deformable garment, including a fabric as disclosed in the above embodiments. Therefore, this fabric possesses all the technical effects of the aforementioned fabrics, which will not be repeated here. Garments made from the fabrics disclosed in the above embodiments can regulate temperature according to changes in the external environment, thereby improving the comfort of the garment.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film 104 is 30% greater than that of the first deformable film 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second TPU film is 30% greater than that of the first TPU film, and the fabric body 100 is made of cotton fabric. When the ambient temperature is 10°C, the second TPU film curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second TPU film supports the deformation cavity 105, increasing the air gap between the first and second TPU films, thus achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature reaches 35℃, the second TPU film returns to its initial state, and the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or eliminating the air gap between the first and second TPU films. This decreases the fabric's warmth retention, allowing body heat to dissipate quickly and achieving a cooling effect.

[0036] In another specific embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film 104 is 35% greater than that of the first deformable film 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second TPU film is 35% greater than that of the first TPU film, and the fabric body 100 is made of polyester fabric. When the low-temperature ambient temperature is 15°C, the second TPU film curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second TPU film supports the deformation cavity 105, increasing the air gap between the first and second TPU films, thus achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature reaches 40℃, the second TPU film returns to its initial state, and the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or eliminating the air gap between the first and second TPU films. This decreases the fabric's warmth retention, allowing body heat to dissipate quickly and achieving a cooling effect.

[0037] In another specific embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film 104 is 40% greater than that of the first deformable film 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second TPU film is 40% greater than that of the first TPU film, and the fabric body 100 is made of cotton fabric. When the low-temperature ambient temperature is 10°C, the second TPU film curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second TPU film supports the deformation cavity 105, increasing the air gap between the first and second TPU films, thus achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature reaches 40℃, the second TPU film returns to its initial state, and the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or eliminating the air gap between the first and second TPU films. This decreases the fabric's warmth retention, allowing body heat to dissipate quickly and achieving a cooling effect.

[0038] In another specific embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film 104 is 45% greater than that of the first deformable film 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second TPU film is 45% greater than that of the first TPU film, and the fabric body 100 is made of polyester fabric. When the low-temperature ambient temperature is 13°C, the second TPU film curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second TPU film supports the deformation cavity 105, increasing the air gap between the first and second TPU films, thus achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature reaches 38℃, the second TPU film returns to its initial state, and the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or eliminating the air gap between the first and second TPU films. This decreases the fabric's warmth retention, allowing body heat to dissipate quickly and achieving a cooling effect.

[0039] In another specific embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the second deformable film 104 is 50% greater than that of the first deformable film 103, that is, the shrinkage rate of the second TPU film is 50% greater than that of the first TPU film, and the fabric body 100 is made of cotton fabric. When the low-temperature ambient temperature is 15°C, the second TPU film curls and arches towards the second surface layer 102, as... Figure 2 As shown, the second TPU film supports the deformation cavity 105, increasing the air gap between the first and second TPU films, thus achieving warmth. When the ambient temperature reaches 38℃, the second TPU film returns to its initial state, and the deformation cavity 105 recovers, reducing or eliminating the air gap between the first and second TPU films. This decreases the fabric's warmth retention, allowing body heat to dissipate quickly and achieving a cooling effect.
