Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile processing technology, and in particular to a lace flyknit shoe upper and its processing method. Background Technology
[0002] Flyknit shoes feature uppers that are either knitted in one piece or made from multiple knitted pieces that are then sewn together. Because the entire upper is made of knitted material, it offers excellent breathability, comfort, and a good fit.
[0003] Lace fabric is widely used in the clothing industry. Its characteristics include its lightweight nature and a subtly transparent appearance. Most lace shoe uppers on the market are made by piecing together lace fabric. However, lace fabric is thin, easily deformed and damaged, and is not durable after being processed into shoe uppers or finished shoes.
[0004] Another existing technique involves applying a faux lace finish to the shoe upper using other materials. However, faux lace finishes result in a rough, less refined, and less aesthetically pleasing appearance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a lace flyknit shoe upper and its processing method, so that the woven shoe upper has both the lightweight and breathable feel of flyknit shoe upper and the transparent, delicate and elegant effect of lace fabric.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] The processing method for lace flyknit shoe uppers includes the following steps:
[0008] The system includes a first yarn tip, a second yarn tip, and a third yarn tip, which are set according to the preset texture and pattern. The first yarn tip is connected to a first yarn used to reflect the transparency of the shoe upper. The first yarn is transparent fish silk. The second yarn tip is connected to a second yarn used to reflect the texture and pattern of the shoe upper. The second yarn is high-elastic polyester yarn. The third yarn tip is connected to a third yarn used to embellish the surrounding texture. The third yarn is glossy yarn with glitter threads.
[0009] In areas where a transparent effect is desired on the shoe upper, the first yarn tip emerges from the front bed and the second and / or third yarn tip emerges from the back bed.
[0010] In areas where the textured pattern of the shoe upper needs to be shown, the second yarn tip emerges from the front bed and the first and / or third yarn tip emerges from the back bed.
[0011] In the decorative areas around the texture, the third yarn feeder is knitted from the front bed, and the first and / or second yarn feeder is knitted from the back bed.
[0012] After manufacturing, the fabric is ironed and shaped to obtain the lace flyknit upper.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned processing method for lace flyknit shoe uppers, the areas where the transparency effect of the shoe upper needs to be reflected include patterned transparent areas and unpatterned transparent areas. In the unpatterned transparent areas, the first yarn tip is for surface knitting without interlacing needles, the second yarn tip is for sole knitting and front needle bed hanging stitch interlacing needle knitting; the third yarn tip is for sole knitting with needles coming out from the back needle bed, the third yarn tip is for sole knitting and empty needle interlacing needle knitting, and the sole knitting positions of the second and third yarn tips are interlaced. In the patterned transparent areas, the first yarn tip is for surface knitting, the second yarn tip is for sole knitting and empty needle interlacing needle knitting, the third yarn tip is for sole knitting and empty needle interlacing needle knitting, and the sole knitting positions of the second and third yarn tips are interlaced.
[0014] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned processing method for lace flyknit uppers, in the positions where the texture and pattern of the upper need to be displayed, the second yarn tip is for surface knitting, the first yarn tip is for bottom knitting and open-needle knitting, and the third yarn tip is for bottom knitting and open-needle knitting. The bottom knitting positions of the first yarn tip and the third yarn tip are interlaced.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned processing method for lace flyknit shoe uppers, in the positions where the texture pattern of the shoe upper needs to be displayed, the third yarn tip is for surface knitting, the first yarn tip is for bottom knitting and open-needle knitting, the second yarn tip is for bottom knitting and open-needle knitting, and the bottom knitting positions of the first yarn tip and the second yarn tip are interlaced.
[0016] This invention also protects the lace flyknit shoe upper obtained by the above-described processing method.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In areas where the shoe upper exhibits a transparent effect, transparent fishnet yarn is woven in the front bed, while the other two types of yarn are woven in the back bed. In areas where a pattern or texture effect is desired, high-elastic polyester yarn is woven in the front bed, while the other two types of yarn are woven in the back bed. In areas where embellishments are applied around the texture, glossy yarn combined with lace yarn is woven in the front bed, while the other two types of yarn are woven in the back bed. By utilizing transparent fishnet yarn to enhance the transparency of the shoe upper, using high-elastic polyester yarn to improve the texture and appearance of the upper, and enhancing its elasticity and stability, and using glossy yarn combined with lace yarn to further enhance the texture and appearance, the woven shoe upper combines the lightweight breathability and comfort of a flyknit upper with the transparent, delicate, and elegant effect of lace fabric.

[0023] 1. Areas where a transparent effect on the shoe upper is needed; 11. Transparent areas with patterns; 12. Transparent areas without patterns;
[0024] 2. Locations where the textured pattern of the shoe upper needs to be displayed;
[0025] 3. The placement of decorative elements around the texture. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a processing method for lace flyknit shoe uppers, comprising the following steps:
[0028] The system includes a first yarn tip, a second yarn tip, and a third yarn tip, which are set according to the preset texture and pattern. The first yarn tip is connected to a first yarn used to reflect the transparency of the shoe upper. The first yarn is transparent fish silk. The second yarn tip is connected to a second yarn used to reflect the texture and pattern of the shoe upper. The second yarn is high-elastic polyester yarn. The third yarn tip is connected to a third yarn used to embellish the surrounding texture. The third yarn is glossy yarn with glitter threads.
[0029] At position 1 where the transparency of the shoe upper needs to be reflected, the first yarn tip emerges from the front bed and is knitted, while the second and / or third yarn tip emerges from the back bed and is knitted.
[0030] At position 2 where the texture pattern of the shoe upper needs to be shown, the second yarn tip is knitted from the front bed, and the first yarn tip and / or the third yarn tip is knitted from the back bed.
[0031] At point 3, the third yarn feeder is knitted from the front bed, and the first and / or second yarn feeder is knitted from the back bed.
[0032] After manufacturing, the fabric is ironed and shaped to obtain the lace flyknit upper.
[0033] In the above implementation methods, refer to Figure 2 Choose yarn feeder #2 for the first yarn feeder, #3 for the second yarn feeder, and #4 for the third yarn feeder.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the position 1 where the transparency effect of the shoe upper needs to be reflected includes a patterned transparent position 11 and a patternless transparent position 12. In the patternless transparent position 12, the first yarn tip is a surface knit without interlacing needles, the second yarn tip is a bottom knit and a front needle bed with interlacing needles, and the third yarn tip is a bottom knit with needles coming out from the rear needle bed. The third yarn tip is a bottom knit and an empty needle interlacing needle, and the bottom knit positions of the second yarn tip and the third yarn tip are interlaced. In the patterned transparent position 11, the first yarn tip is a surface knit, the second yarn tip is a bottom knit and an empty needle interlacing needle, and the third yarn tip is a bottom knit and an empty needle interlacing needle, and the bottom knit positions of the second yarn tip and the third yarn tip are interlaced.
[0035] In the above implementation methods, refer to Figures 1 to 4 When weaving a shoe upper with a floral pattern, the shoe upper includes transparent areas within the floral pattern, namely patterned transparent areas 11, while the areas of the shoe upper without a floral pattern also need to show a transparent effect, namely patternless transparent areas 12. Although both areas need to show a transparent effect through transparent fish silk, there are differences in the weaving process.
[0036] In the patterned transparent position 11, the second yarn feeder is woven with empty needles and back needle bed under knitting with spaced needles; this knitting procedure makes the transparency effect more obvious here, better showcasing the transparent, delicate and elegant effect of the lace fabric.
[0037] In the unpatterned transparent area 12, the second yarn tip is woven with the back needle bed and the front needle bed with alternating stitches. This structure makes the unpatterned area of the shoe upper appear as a decorative effect of high-elastic polyester yarn, enhancing the connection stability between the upper and the bottom layer, making the overall structure of the shoe upper stronger and more elastic. Since the unpatterned transparent area 12 covers a larger area of the shoe upper, plus the patterned transparent area 11, the transparent area occupies most of the overall area of the shoe upper. The upper layer of the transparent area uses transparent fish silk yarn, which uses more material than the other two types of yarn. The other two types of yarn are interwoven with the bottom layer structure, ensuring the breathability of the transparent fish silk as the upper layer material.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, at position 2 where the texture pattern of the shoe upper needs to be displayed, the second yarn tip is for surface weaving, the first yarn tip is for bottom weaving and open-needle alternating weaving, and the third yarn tip is for bottom weaving and open-needle alternating weaving. The bottom weaving positions of the first yarn tip and the third yarn tip are interleaved.
[0039] In the above embodiments, although the textured pattern effect is achieved by weaving high-elastic polyester yarn on the front needle bed surface, transparent fish line and glossy yarn with scalloped thread are still woven on the back needle bed bottom layer to ensure the breathability of the shoe upper.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, at position 2 where the texture pattern of the shoe upper needs to be displayed, the third yarn tip is for surface weaving, the first yarn tip is for bottom weaving and open-needle weaving, the second yarn tip is for bottom weaving and open-needle weaving, and the bottom weaving positions of the first yarn tip and the second yarn tip are interlaced.
[0041] In the above embodiments, transparent fish line and high-elastic polyester yarn are still woven into the bottom layer of the back needle bed, which can still ensure the breathability of the shoe upper.
