Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hygiene products technology, and in particular to a horsetail cloth and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a rag is to wipe floors or tables. Currently available rags are primarily made of woven cotton and linen. While rags made of cotton and linen have excellent cleaning power initially, their lifespan is relatively short. Dirt easily gets stuck in the rag fibers and is difficult to remove, and oil stains are difficult to completely remove. Furthermore, they dry slowly in natural environments, making them prone to bacterial and fungal growth, often resulting in blackening and a foul odor.

[0003] On the other hand, the manufacturing process of woven cloths involves weaving yarns or fibers. The fibers or yarns are too soft and difficult to remove some stubborn stains, such as dried rice stains left on rice bowls that have not been soaked in time.

[0004] In traditional Chinese medicine, horsetail grass is also known as penholder grass. Horsetail grass has good medicinal value and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation and stopping bleeding. There are no reports in the existing technology on the use of horsetail grass as a raw material to make rags. In the existing technology, horsetail grass is mainly used as a medicinal material and there is no application found in the rag making process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a horsetail cloth and its manufacturing process, so that the cloth has the advantages of long service life, long-lasting antibacterial properties, easy separation of oil stains, and good cleaning effect on stubborn stains.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A manufacturing process for a horsetail cloth includes the following steps:

[0008] S1: Select horsetail grass from the current year, with a length of 40-60cm;

[0009] S2: Dry the selected horsetail grass;

[0010] S3: Soak the dried horsetail grass in the softening solution and boil at 50-80℃ for 45-90 minutes;

[0011] S4: Dry the softened horsetail grass;

[0012] S5: Apply adhesive to the softened and dried horsetail grass, stack it in the same direction, and stack it to a thickness of 2.5-3mm; press it to form horsetail grass blocks with a thickness of 1.5-2mm.

[0013] S6: Cut the horsetail grass into squares 8-10cm long and 8-10cm wide;

[0014] S7: Arrange the square blocks in a rectangular array. Weave yarn to seal the edges between adjacent square blocks and the outer edge of the rectangular array to form a sealing strip. Connect the multiple square blocks in the rectangular array into a rectangular block. Weave a cross-shaped reinforcing strip in the center of the rectangular block. The reinforcing strip extends to the four corners of the rectangular block and the midpoint of each side to make horsetail cloth.

[0015] Furthermore, in the manufacturing process of the above-mentioned horsetail cloth, the specific method of drying the selected horsetail grass is as follows: the selected horsetail grass is placed in a drying room at a temperature of 40-80℃ and dried for 11-13 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, in the manufacturing process of the above-mentioned horsetail cloth, the preparation process of the softening solution is as follows: 30g of quicklime and 10g of soda ash are mixed together and added to 1L of water and stirred evenly; 100ml of wood vinegar is added to the above mixture and stirred evenly to obtain the softening solution.

[0017] Furthermore, in the manufacturing process of the aforementioned horsetail cloth, the softened horsetail grass is dried by placing it in a drying room at a temperature of 30℃-45℃ for 30-60 minutes.

[0018] Furthermore, in the manufacturing process of the aforementioned horsetail cloth, the adhesive is mung bean glue.

[0019] This invention also protects the horsetail cloth produced by the above-mentioned horsetail cloth manufacturing process.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In the manufacturing process of the horsetail cloth involved in this invention, horsetail is selected as the main material. Through specific conditions of drying, soaking and softening, drying, gluing, stacking, compression, and cutting, horsetail blocks are obtained. Multiple horsetail blocks are then arranged in a rectangular array and sealed and reinforced with yarn to obtain the cloth. Compared with existing cloths, this type of cloth has the following advantages: 1. Horsetail itself is environmentally friendly and easily degradable; 2. It has good toughness and strength, and the surface is not easily worn or deformed, resulting in high durability; 3. Horsetail contains natural antibacterial substances, and oil stains are easy to remove. It can also inhibit bacterial growth in high temperature and high humidity environments, keeping it clean and hygienic for a long time; 4. Its hardness is moderate, and it is highly efficient at cleaning stubborn stains such as rice stains. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The present invention relates to a manufacturing process for a horsetail cloth, comprising the following steps:

[0029] S1: Select horsetail grass from the current year, with a length of 40-60cm;

[0030] S2: Dry the selected horsetail grass;

[0031] S3: Soak the dried horsetail grass in the softening solution and boil at 50-80℃ for 45-90 minutes;

[0032] S4: Dry the softened horsetail grass;

[0033] S5: Apply adhesive to the softened and dried horsetail grass, stack it in the same direction, and stack it to a thickness of 2.5-3mm; press it to form horsetail grass blocks with a thickness of 1.5-2mm.

[0034] S6: Cut the horsetail grass into squares 1, each 8-10cm long and 8-10cm wide;

[0035] S7: Arrange the square blocks 1 in a rectangular array. Weave yarn to seal the edges between adjacent square blocks 1 and the outer edge of the rectangular array to form sealing strips 2. Connect the multiple square blocks 1 distributed in the rectangular array into a rectangular block. Weave a cross-shaped reinforcing strip 3 in the center of the rectangular block. The reinforcing strip 3 extends to the four corners of the rectangular block and the midpoint of each side to make horsetail cloth.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the selected horsetail grass is dried by placing it in a drying room at a temperature of 40-80℃ for 11-13 hours. This step uses a relatively low temperature for drying, allowing the horsetail grass to retain good toughness.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation process of the softening solution is as follows: 30g of quicklime and 10g of soda ash are mixed together and added to 1L of water and stirred evenly; 100ml of wood vinegar is added to the above mixture and stirred evenly to obtain the softening solution.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the softened horsetail grass is dried by placing it in a drying room at a temperature of 30℃-45℃ for 30-60 minutes. Drying the softened horsetail grass at a lower temperature than before softening ensures that the softness and toughness of the bamboo fibers are well preserved.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive is mung bean glue. Mung bean glue is a gelatinous substance formed after mung beans are boiled. The purpose of adding mung bean glue here is not to stably bond the horsetail grass, so mung bean glue, which does not have very good adhesive properties, is chosen. Its function is to provide a certain interfacial tension so that it can be stably compressed during the pressing process, which facilitates the subsequent cutting and sealing processes and provides temporary adhesive positioning. The connection between the bamboo strips mainly relies on the subsequent weaving of yarn to tighten the sealing and reinforcement.
