Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shoe uppers, in particular to a granular fabric and a manufacturing process thereof. Background Art
[0002] Shoes are worn on the feet to protect them and facilitate walking. Made of materials such as leather, cloth, and rubber, they serve as a tool for protecting the feet from injury. Fur shoes were first invented to overcome special circumstances and prevent foot discomfort or injury.
[0003] Nowadays, shoes of all styles and functions are ubiquitous. Furthermore, as people's aesthetic standards grow, they increasingly prioritize fabric patterns, colors, and other effects. This is especially true for fabrics used in shoe uppers, where the regularity, layers, and natural transitions of color gradients are increasingly sought after. Some consumers appreciate a grainy feel on shoe uppers, and some utilize granular coatings for these surfaces. However, these coatings can delaminate and fall off during long-term wear and cleaning, seriously impacting the wearer's experience.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a granular fabric and its manufacturing process to improve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a granular fabric and a manufacturing process thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a granular fabric, comprising:
[0007] The base fabric layer is a cotton mesh layer with a mesh structure. A plurality of breathable mesh holes are formed on the fabric body. The yarn surface of the base fabric layer is formed with brushed yarn hairs.
[0008] The raised portion is sewn on the surface of the base fabric layer by yarn and protrudes from the surface of the base fabric layer;
[0009] The outer film layer is sprayed on the outer surface of the base fabric layer, and is breathable and waterproof. The colloid of the outer film layer immerses the base fabric layer and the breathable mesh, and adheres to the yarn hair;
[0010] The colloid of the yarn and wool adhesive outer film layer forms adhesive rods on the surface of the base fabric layer and forms a raised imitation particle layer on the outer film layer;
[0011] The outer mesh layer is composed of a combination of mesh-like interlaced fiber strips, which are polyethylene strips and are located on the outermost surface of the base fabric layer. One side of the outer mesh layer is glued to the outer film layer to form the shoe upper, and a number of mesh holes are formed on the surface of the outer mesh layer to highlight the imitation granular layer.
[0012] As an optional solution for the granular fabric of the present invention, there are two raised portions symmetrically arranged, located on both sides of the base fabric layer corresponding to the instep.
[0013] As an optional solution of the granular fabric of the present invention, the raised portion and the base fabric layer are made of the same thread, forming a staggered raised imitation granular layer on the surface of the outer film layer.
[0014] A process for producing a granular fabric includes the following steps:
[0015] S1, coating the outer film layer, the sprayer sprays glue toward the surface of the base fabric layer to form the outer film layer;
[0016] S2. Combining the outer mesh layer: the thermally composite outer mesh layer is glued onto the surface of the outer film layer to form a shoe upper.
[0017] As an optional solution for the production process of the granular fabric described in the present invention, the visual scanning unit of the spray machine is a three-dimensional scanner, which is configured as a non-contact three-dimensional scanner and is fixedly installed on the spraying robot arm of the spray machine.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The mesh-structured cloth is used as the base fabric layer, and the surface of the yarn is formed with brushed yarn hair, which can adhere to the outer film layer sprayed on the surface. The breathable mesh maintains the breathable structure of the upper. The membrane surface is easier to clean than the upper of cloth fiber, which is convenient for long-term wear and no-wash use. The yarn hair and external colloid are combined to form a rubber rod, which is connected to the outer film layer from bottom to top and finally protrudes at the end to form a raised imitation granular layer. The granular structure is stable and not easy to debond, meeting the wearing performance requirements of some consumers.
[0020] The base fabric layer is provided with raised parts, which further form a staggered granular imitation layer on the surface. The upper structure is constrained by the external outer mesh layer, and the imitation granular layer is highlighted by the mesh on the layer, thereby improving the overall staggered touch of the upper surface and meeting the wearing performance requirements of some consumers.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a granular fabric, comprising:
[0029] The base fabric layer 1 has a mesh structure and has a number of breathable mesh holes formed on the fabric body for heat dissipation after being made into the shoe upper;
[0030] In this embodiment, the base fabric layer 1 is a cotton mesh layer, and the surface of the thread 101 of the base fabric layer 1 is formed with brushed thread 102 for adhering the spray glue to form a stable bonding structure to prevent debonding and separation.
[0031] The outer film layer 2 is sprayed on the outer surface of the base fabric layer 1 to provide breathable and waterproof performance;
[0032] In this embodiment, the outer film layer 2 is a polytetrafluoroethylene breathable waterproof film layer with a thickness of 0.6-0.8 mm. It cooperates with the breathable mesh to maintain the breathable structure of the upper. The surface of the film is easier to clean than the upper made of cloth fiber, making it convenient for long-term wear without washing.
[0033] It should be noted that the colloid of the outer adhesive film layer 2 can cooperate with the yarn hair 102 of the thread 101 to form a stable adhesive structure, and the surface curvature is smooth to prevent the protruding colloid from being scratched and damaged by the outside world;
[0034] Furthermore, the yarn hair 102 is glued to the colloid of the outer film layer 2 to form a glue rod on the surface of the base fabric layer 1, and a raised imitation granular layer is formed on the outer film layer 2. The imitation granular layer is mainly composed of the yarn hair 102 on the base fabric layer 1 and the external colloid. It is connected to the outer film layer 2 from bottom to top and finally protrudes at the end. The granular structure is stable and not easy to debond, which meets the wearing performance requirements of some consumers.

[0036] In this embodiment, two protrusions 4 are symmetrically arranged, one on each side of the base fabric layer 1 corresponding to the instep;
[0037] Furthermore, the raised portions 4 and the base fabric layer 1 are made of the same thread 101, forming a staggered raised simulated granular layer on the surface of the outer film layer 2, thereby enhancing the granular effect.
[0038] The outer mesh layer 3 is composed of a combination of mesh-like interlaced fiber strips and is located on the outermost surface of the base fabric layer 1. One side of the outer mesh layer 3 is glued to the outer film layer 2 to form the shoe upper.
[0039] In this embodiment, the fiber strips of the outer mesh layer 3 are polyethylene strips, and a plurality of mesh holes are formed on the layer to highlight the imitation granular layer, thereby forming an imitation granular layer with a staggered granular feel on the surface of the shoe upper.
[0040] During the touch process, the mesh of the outer mesh layer 3 enhances the overall staggered touch of the upper surface, and constrains the structure of the outer film layer 2 to stabilize and improve the wearing performance.
[0041] A process for producing a granular fabric, used for processing the fabric, comprises the following process steps:
[0042] S1, coating the outer adhesive film layer 2, the sprayer sprays adhesive toward the surface of the base fabric layer 1 to form the outer adhesive film layer 2;
[0043] S2 and the outer mesh layer 3 are combined, and the thermally composite outer mesh layer 3 is glued to the surface of the outer film layer 2 to form a shoe upper.
[0044] In this embodiment, the visual scanning unit of the spray machine is a three-dimensional scanner, which is configured as a non-contact three-dimensional scanner and is fixedly installed on the spraying robot arm of the spray machine.
[0045] It should be noted that the visual scanning unit of the spray machine is a three-dimensional scanner, which is set as a non-contact three-dimensional scanner. It is fixedly installed on the spraying robot arm of the spray machine and is used to scan the processed objects. This technology is an existing technology and has mature product applications in sole processing. The specific structure will not be described in detail.
