Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of textile fabrics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a multi-layer knitted fabric with sustained cool feeling. BACKGROUND

[0002] In summer, the application demand of fabric textiles with cool feeling is large.

[0003] At present, the existing cool textile mainly adds mica, jade and other high-thermal-conductivity substances into the spinning solution before spinning or changes the cross-sectional shape of the spinning nozzle during spinning to obtain high-thermal-conductivity or special-shaped cross-section fibers, so as to prepare cool textiles.

[0004] With the continuous development of textile technology, fibers with cool feeling gradually rise in the cool fabric market, and a new type of intrinsic cool fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, is increasingly widely used in the development and application of cool fabrics due to its excellent thermal conductivity. The patent with the application number 202320898795.7 discloses an ultra-high molecular weight temperature fabric, which uses 100% ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber as the upper layer of the fabric, uses composite clothing sewing thread as the middle layer of the fabric, and uses a mixture of polyester low-elasticity silk and spandex silk as the lower layer of the fabric. The prepared fabric has good cool feeling, air permeability, anti-pilling and other properties. However, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is not water-absorbing, and sweat is difficult to be conducted out, so that the cool feeling of the fabric is not lasting and a stuffy feeling is easily generated. SUMMARY

[0005] The application provides a preparation method of a multi-layer knitted fabric with sustained cool feeling to solve the problems of complex process, non-lasting cool feeling and poor moisture absorption and moisture conduction of the existing cool fabric, so that the fabric has good instant cool feeling and also has the characteristics of sustained cool feeling, moisture absorption and moisture conduction.

[0006] The application adopts a technical scheme of a multi-layer knitted fabric with sustained cool feeling, which comprises a three-layer structure from top to bottom, namely an upper surface layer, a connecting layer and a lower surface layer. The upper surface layer is formed by continuously knitting yarn a and yarn b alternately and interval in each course. The connecting layer is formed by alternately and piling knitting yarn b in the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer. The lower surface layer is formed by continuously knitting yarn a and yarn b alternately and interval in each course. The porosity between the yarns in the lower surface layer is higher than the porosity between the yarns in the upper surface layer. The yarn feeding tension of yarn a in the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer is smaller than the yarn feeding tension of yarn b. The loop height formed by yarn a is higher than the loop height formed by yarn b.

[0007] Further, each vertical column in the upper surface layer contains 1-3 adjacent loops with the same height.

[0008] Further, the yarn a is a cool fiber yarn with high thermal conductivity and hydrophobicity.

[0009] Further, the yarn b is a profiled cross-section fiber yarn with moisture absorption and rapid moisture removal performance.

[0010] Further, the number of loops formed by the yarn a and the yarn b in the upper layer is 1:1, and the number of loops formed by the yarn a and the yarn b in the lower layer is 2:1.

[0011] A preparation method of a multi-layer knitted fabric with sustained coolness, using yarn a and yarn b as raw materials, and using a double-sided circular knitting machine to weave a multi-layer knitted fabric with an upper layer, a connecting layer and a lower layer, the yarn a has a smaller yarn feeding tension than the yarn b when weaving the upper layer and the lower layer, so that the loops formed by the yarn a are higher than the loops formed by the yarn b.

[0012] The advantages of the present application are as follows:

[0013] (1) In the multi-layer knitted fabric of the present application, two different yarns form loops with height differences due to different yarn feeding tensions, the yarn a has a small yarn feeding tension and forms loops with a large height, and the yarn b has a large yarn feeding tension and forms loops with a small height, in addition, the yarn b will push up the loops formed by the adjacent yarn a due to the large tension, so that the height of the loops formed by the yarn a is more obvious. In the present application, two yarns are used, one with a small tension and the other with a large tension, and in the ordinary knitted fabric, one yarn is used with the same thickness, the horizontal height difference formed by one yarn through looping and purling is n (n is a constant, unit: mm), and the horizontal height difference of the loops formed by the two yarns in the present application is about 2n. The larger horizontal height difference can make the fabric present a point-like contact with the skin at the protruding part, producing a momentary cool feeling, and without feeling stuffy, at the same time, the larger horizontal height difference also makes the other moisture-absorbing yarn with small loop height not directly contact the skin, so that the skin does not feel wet.

[0014] (2) The multi-layer knitted fabric of the present application uses cool fiber yarn and profiled cross-section fiber yarn, the cool fiber yarn forms loops with a relatively large height, and the profiled cross-section fiber yarn forms loops with a relatively small height, the alternation of the hydrophobic cool fiber yarn and the moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking profiled cross-section fiber yarn makes the fabric have excellent coolness and dryness when used.

[0015] (3) The upper layer of the multi-layer knitted fabric prepared by the present application is in contact with the human body, the upper layer with low porosity can quickly absorb the sweat on the surface of the skin, conduct the sweat to the lower layer with high porosity through the connecting layer, and accelerate the evaporation and heat dissipation speed of the sweat; the high loop structure in the lower layer can keep the bottom of the fabric dry, and to some extent, can avoid the breeding of bacteria.

[0016] (4) The preparation process is simple and the steps are easy to operate. The cool fiber does not need to be improved by physical or chemical methods, and the fabric does not need to be cooled by adding a cool auxiliary agent. The fabric has a lasting cooling effect and can be better applied to summer household textiles such as seat cushions and mattress. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
