Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warp and weft yarn combined knitting technology, specifically a novel interwoven fabric and its knitting process. Background Technology

[0002] Publication number CN117144540A discloses a flyknit fabric with warp structure and its weaving process, proposing a flyknit process involving multiple warp yarns. This process can not only effectively reduce the warp stretch of the flyknit upper, but also weave some exquisite and unique warp patterns on the flyknit upper. Compared with the traditional warp-insertion process, this solution has a shorter working time and higher production efficiency.

[0003] Publication number: CN116641173A discloses a flyknit fabric unit with sandwich stripes, its weaving process, shoe upper and shoe, which proposes a weft insertion process that can effectively reduce the weft extension of the shoe upper and has high work efficiency.

[0004] This project arose from the need for further in-depth research into the weaving techniques of combining warp and weft yarns on shoe uppers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a novel interwoven fabric and its knitting process, which overcomes the shortcomings described in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a novel interwoven fabric, comprising a fabric body and weft yarns and warp yarns inserted into the fabric body, wherein there is at least one warp yarn and one weft yarn, and the warp yarns and weft yarns are interwoven on the fabric body to form an interwoven structure, wherein the interwoven structure is located in any local area of ​​the woven fabric.

[0008] A preferred technical solution: The warp and weft yarns each perform independent weaving actions through their respective weaving nozzles, so that the warp and weft yarns are combined and woven in a local area of ​​the fabric, thereby forming a woven fabric.

[0009] A preferred technical solution: the woven fabric is formed by the shuttle weaving between the warp and weft yarns to form a woven structure.

[0010] A preferred technical solution: The warp and weft yarns form the woven structure on the woven fabric through any one of the following methods: open needle knitting, loop knitting, tuck knitting, turn-knitting, and moving knitting.

[0011] A preferred technical solution: the warp and weft yarns form the weaving structure on the woven fabric through dense needles or spaced needles.

[0012] A preferred technical solution: The warp and weft yarns inserted into the woven fabric form a woven structure through a hollow needle method.

[0013] A preferred technical solution: The warp yarn portion moves along the warp yarn weaving path to form a weaving structure.

[0014] A preferred technical solution: the warp and weft yarns are woven independently in different weaving areas of the fabric.

[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a novel knitting process for interwoven fabrics. The knitted fabric is knitted in one piece by an interlacing knitting device. The knitted fabric includes warp yarns and weft yarns. The interlacing knitting device is equipped with several movable yarn feeders that can independently perform knitting actions. The warp yarns and weft yarns are introduced into the movable yarn feeders, and their respective knitting actions are performed by controlling the corresponding movable yarn feeders to cross-knit.

[0016] A preferred technical solution: The weaving action of the moving yarn feeders corresponding to multiple warp and weft yarns can be independently controlled to perform the same or different weaving actions.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. This invention significantly reduces the weft and warp extensions of the shoe upper by simultaneously weft-inserting and warp-inserting the upper, thereby increasing its protective performance. By inserting warp and weft yarns, this invention achieves the effects of warp knitting and weaving, integrating weft knitting, warp knitting, and weaving effects into the fabric. This reduces splicing processes and saves production costs.

[0019] 2. This invention creates more unique, exquisite, and distinctive knitted patterns by changing the weaving method of the warp and weft yarns, thus enriching the variety of knitted structures. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Explanation of key figure labels:

[0038] 1. Warp yarn; 2. Weft yarn; 3. Lining weft yarn. Detailed Implementation

[0039] like Figures 1-16 As shown, the present invention provides a novel interwoven fabric, comprising a fabric body and weft yarns 2 and warp yarns 1 inserted into the fabric body. There are at least one warp yarn 1 and one weft yarn 2 inserted, and the warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 are interwoven on the fabric body to form an interwoven structure. The interwoven structure is located in any local area of ​​the woven fabric.

[0040] When the novel interwoven fabric of this invention is used to make the shoe upper, the weft and warp extensions of the shoe upper are greatly reduced by simultaneously wefting and lining the warp, thereby increasing the protective performance of the shoe upper.

[0041] Furthermore, the warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2 each perform independent weaving actions through their respective weaving nozzles, causing the warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2 to be combined and woven in a local area of ​​the fabric, thereby forming a woven fabric.

[0042] By having each yarn feeder perform an independent knitting action, more unique, exquisite, and distinctive knitted patterns can be created, enriching the variety of knitted structures.

[0043] Furthermore, the woven fabric is formed by the shuttle (a device with loops) weaving between the warp yarns 1 and the weft yarns 2 to form a woven structure.

[0044] By using warp and weft yarns, the effects of warp knitting and weaving can be achieved, integrating weft knitting, warp knitting, and weaving effects onto the fabric. Compared to traditional woven fabrics, the novel interwoven fabric of this invention outputs a finished product immediately, reducing splicing processes and saving production costs. For example, traditional woven fabrics are warp-knitted fabrics, and when a woven effect needs to be superimposed, post-processing, i.e., splicing, is involved.

[0045] Furthermore, the warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 form the knitted structure on the fabric through at least one of the following methods: open stitch knitting, loop knitting, tuck knitting, turn stitch knitting, and moving stitch knitting. That is, the fabric can form corresponding structures through open stitch knitting, loop knitting, tuck stitch knitting, turn stitch knitting, and moving stitch knitting. These knitted structures can be combined to form the corresponding structures. For example, the warp yarns 1 can be partially moved stitch knitted and loop knitted to form the structure in Example 7.

[0046] Furthermore, the warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 form a woven structure on the fabric through close-knit or spaced-knit stitches.

[0047] Furthermore, the warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 inserted into the woven fabric form a woven structure through a hollow needle method.

[0048] Furthermore, the warp yarns 1 move along the weaving path of the warp yarns 1 to form a woven structure.

[0049] Furthermore, warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2 are woven independently in different weaving areas of the woven fabric.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] This embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric, comprising a fabric body and weft yarns 2 and warp yarns 1 inserted into the fabric body. At least one warp yarn 1 and one weft yarn 2 are inserted, and the warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 are interwoven on the fabric body to form an interwoven structure, which is located in any local area of ​​the woven fabric. In this novel interwoven fabric, neither the warp nor the weft yarns 2 form loops.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a weave structure formed on a woven fabric by dense needles;

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It refers to the weaving structure formed on the woven fabric by using spacers.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] This embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarn 1 is looped / formed, while the weft yarn 2 is not looped.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a loop diagram of warp yarn 1 forming loops. The corresponding woven fabric structure is obtained by weaving according to the structure in the loop diagram.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is the loop diagram for warp yarn 1.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] This embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarn 1 is not looped, while the weft yarn 2 is looped.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The weft yarn is made of 2-needle loops;

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The weft yarn is formed into loops with two spacers.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarn 1 is looped and the weft yarn 2 is looped.

[0064] Example 5

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarns 1 do not form loops when moving, and the weft yarns are interlaced.

[0066] Example 6

[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0068] The warp yarn 1 forms loops, is transferred, and then the weft yarn is inserted. The yarn used for weft insertion is defined as weft yarn 3. Weft insertion structures are divided into partial weft insertion and full-width weft insertion. Partial weft insertion structures utilize one or more weft guides that move only behind the needle during the loop-forming process, without moving in front of the needle. This allows the weft yarn 3 to be sandwiched between the loops and extension threads of the ground fabric, thereby achieving the desired properties and effects. For example, decorative fabrics such as window screens and lace utilize the appropriate arrangement of weft segments to form patterns. When a coarse and soft yarn is used as the weft yarn 3, the greige fabric can be napped to form knitted pile fabrics. When an elastic material is used as the weft yarn 3, elastic braided tapes and elastic mesh fabrics can be produced. Full-width weft insertion structures utilize a specialized weft insertion mechanism to insert the weft yarn 2 into the entire width of the greige fabric, achieving an effect similar to weft knitting weft insertion. Using weft yarns 2 of different colors can produce a clear horizontal stripe effect.

[0069] Example 7

[0070] like Figure 10 , 11 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarn 1 moves and forms loops.

[0071] like Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is a diagram of the fabric structure in this embodiment;

[0072] like Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 for Figure 10 By comparing the coil diagrams in the diagrams, it is not difficult to find that... Figure 11 The coil diagram in the image is actually equivalent to Figure 10 The fabric structure diagram in the diagram is as described in Example 2: the corresponding woven fabric structure is obtained by weaving according to the structure in the loop diagram.

[0073] Example 8

[0074] like Figure 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0075] Pure warp yarn in loops, with weft yarn inserted.

[0076] Example 9

[0077] This embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarns 1 are looped and interwoven.

[0078] like Figure 13 As shown, Figure 13 This is a diagram of the fabric structure in this embodiment;

[0079] like Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14 for Figure 13 The coil diagram in the image.

[0080] Example 10

[0081] like Figure 15 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarns 1 are looped simultaneously on the front and back beds.

[0082] Example 11

[0083] like Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel interwoven fabric. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the warp yarns 1 are simultaneously woven on the front and back beds.

[0084] Example 12

[0085] This invention provides a novel knitting process for interwoven fabrics. The knitted fabric is woven in one piece by an interlacing knitting device. The knitted fabric includes warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2. The interlacing knitting device is equipped with several movable yarn feeders that can independently perform knitting actions. The warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 are introduced into the movable yarn feeders, and their respective knitting actions are performed by controlling the corresponding movable yarn feeders to cross-knit.

[0086] Furthermore, the weaving actions of the moving yarn feeders corresponding to multiple warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 can be independently controlled to perform the same or different weaving actions.

[0087] The resulting woven fabric includes inserted weft yarns 2 and warp yarns 1. The inserted weft yarns 2 and warp yarns 1 can perform independent knitting operations, or they can be knitted into fabrics such as shoe uppers using a loose-needle method. This can effectively reduce the warp and weft extension of the shoe upper and also create special knitted patterns, improving the visual effect of the shoe upper.

[0088] Since the weft yarn 2 and warp yarn 1 can perform independent knitting actions, warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2 can be combined to knit the same area, or they can be knitted independently in different areas. The knitting of warp yarn 1 includes various knitting actions, such as: empty stitch, loop formation, tucking, turning stitches, and shifting stitches. Refer to the embodiments described above. Some of the embodiments have already illustrated how selecting and combining loop formation, tucking, and shifting stitches can alter the knitting structure.

[0089] The distance between multiple warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 can be freely adjusted according to the desired fabric structure.

[0090] The weaving materials of warp yarn 1 and weft yarn 2 are not limited, and the yarn material can be selected according to the needs to meet the functional effect of the woven fabric; the weaving action of multiple different warp yarns 1 from a single warp knitting nozzle can be consistent or different; the warp yarns 1 from different yarn output devices can be partially or all concentrated in at least one weave row.

[0091] This invention integrates weft knitting, warp knitting, and woven fabric processes, pioneering a new approach in the textile industry and providing a new direction for the development and design of knitted products.

[0092] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
