Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fabrics, and more specifically, to a sun-proof and rain-proof fabric and its weaving process. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, many sun-protective and rain-proof fabrics on the market have become less breathable due to the use of coatings to enhance their sun protection and rain-proof properties. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a sun-proof and rain-proof fabric and its weaving process. The three-layer fabric, formed by weaving, is sewn together. The water-repellent porous layer formed by weaving replaces the existing coating film, allowing for breathability. The hydrophilic layer absorbs moisture from the water-repellent porous layer. The sun-proof and rain-proof layers are formed by combining yarns to create sun-proof and rain-proof zones. The sun-proof zone is woven with UV-resistant yarn, and the rain-proof zone is woven with expandable yarn. In its natural state, the sun-proof and rain-proof zones have a height difference, increasing the refraction and reflection of the sun-proof zone. The rain-proof zone and the hydrophilic layer form a cavity, increasing airflow and keeping the fabric dry. When wet, the expandable yarn in the rain-proof zone expands upon contact with water, covering the sun-proof zone. The gaps between the expanded yarns are between 0.5 and 2 nanometers, reducing water droplet entry while allowing water vapor molecules to escape. Therefore, the fabric is not only rain-proof and sun-proof but also breathable.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention discloses a sun-protective and rain-proof fabric, comprising, from the inside out, a water-repellent porous layer, a hydrophilic layer, and a sun-protective and rain-proof layer. The water-repellent porous layer, the hydrophilic layer, and the sun-protective and rain-proof layer are connected by sewing. The sun-protective and rain-proof layer includes a sun-protective area and a rain-proof area. The rain-proof area is formed by weaving with expandable yarns, and the sun-protective area is formed by weaving with UV-resistant yarns. In its natural state, the rain-proof area is higher than the sun-protective area. In a water-absorbing state, the rain-proof area expands to cover the sun-protective area.
[0006] Furthermore, under natural conditions, the rainproof area and the sunproof area are distributed in an alternating concave-convex pattern, and the height H between the sunproof area and the rainproof area is 1.5mm-4mm.
[0007] Furthermore, in the water-absorbing state, the rainproof area is located above the sun-protective area, and the rainproof area expands and covers both sides of the sun-protective area.
[0008] Furthermore, the sun-protective area is close to the hydrophilic layer, and the rain-proof area forms a cavity with the hydrophilic layer.
[0009] Furthermore, the gap between the yarns in the rainproof area is 0.5 nanometers to 2 nanometers after it expands when exposed to water.
[0010] Furthermore, the water-repellent porous layer includes a base and ventilated pores, the ventilated pores being hollow and distributed in a rhomboid pattern in the base, the base being formed by weaving polypropylene fibers.
[0011] Furthermore, the hydrophilic layer is formed by weaving cotton fibers.
[0012] This invention also discloses a weaving process for a sun-protective and rain-proof fabric, comprising the following steps:
[0013] S1: Basic preparation steps: the water-repellent porous layer is woven with polypropylene fiber, the hydrophilic layer is woven with cotton fiber, and the sun-proof and rainproof layer is woven with expanding yarn and anti-ultraviolet yarn, and the expanding yarn and the anti-ultraviolet yarn are arranged in a 1:1 ratio.
[0014] S2: The water-repellent porous layer and the hydrophilic layer are woven with a 24-inch tube diameter at 18 stitches / inch, the sun-proof and rain-proof layer is woven with a 36-inch tube diameter, the sun-proof area is woven with 28 stitches / inch, and the rain-proof area is woven with 44 stitches / inch.
[0015] S3: The water-repellent porous layer is arranged in a cycle of 8 coil rows. The 3rd coil row of the 1st column is a tucked loop, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th coil rows are flat stitches. The 1st and 5th coil rows of the 3rd and 7th columns are tucked loops, and the 2nd to 4th and 6th to 8th coil rows are flat stitches. The 7th coil row of the 5th column is a tucked loop, and the 1st to 6th and 8th coil rows are flat stitches. The 1st to 8th coil rows of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th columns are all flat stitches.
[0016] S4: The hydrophilic layer is arranged in a cycle of 4 coil rows, with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th coil rows all being flat needles;
[0017] S5: The sun-protective and rain-proof layer consists of 8 rows of stitches forming a cycle. Each row of stitches includes purl and knit stitches. Rows 1, 3, 5, and 7 are the UV-resistant yarn, and rows 2, 4, 6, and 8 are the expansion yarn. Row 1 consists of knit stitches 3 and 4 forming a loop, knit stitches 1 and 2 not knitted, purl stitches 1 and 3 forming a loop, purl stitches 2 and 4 not knitted. Rows 2 and 4 consist of knit stitches 1 and 2 forming a loop, knit stitches 3 and 4 not knitted, purl stitches 1, 2, 3, and 4 not knitted. Row 3... The horizontal row is as follows: Knit 1 and 2 are left unknitted, Knit 3 and 4 are knitted in a circle, Purl 1 and 3 are left unknitted, Purl 2 and 4 are knitted in a circle.

[0018] S6: Fabric weaving.
[0019] Furthermore, under natural conditions, the sun and rain protection layer includes a rain protection area and a sun protection area, which are distributed in an uneven pattern, and the height H between the sun protection area and the rain protection area is 1.5mm-4mm.
[0020] Furthermore, in the water-absorbing state, the rainproof area is located above the sun-protective area, and the rainproof area expands and covers both sides of the sun-protective area.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0022] The three-layer fabric, formed by weaving and sewing, replaces the existing coating with a water-repellent porous layer. The hydrophilic layer absorbs the sweat from the water-repellent porous layer, keeping it dry. The sun-protective and rain-proof layer, when in contact with water, includes sun-protective and rain-proof zones. The height difference between the sun-protective and rain-proof zones increases the reflection and refraction of ultraviolet rays. The rain-proof zone and the hydrophilic layer form a cavity, increasing airflow. When in contact with water, the rain-proof zone expands, and the gaps between the yarns are smaller than the diameter of a raindrop but larger than the diameter of a water vapor molecule, thus making the fabric both sun-protective and rain-proof, as well as breathable.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 10, a sun-protective and rain-proof fabric includes, from the inside out, a water-repellent porous layer 10, a hydrophilic layer 20, and a sun-protective and rain-proof layer 30. The water-repellent porous layer 10 includes a base 11 and breathable pores 12. (Refer to...) Figure 3The vent holes 12 are hollow and distributed in a rhomboid pattern at the base 11, which is woven from polypropylene fibers 13. The polypropylene fibers 13 have a relatively high twist, resulting in tiny protrusions and depressions on the surface of the yarn formed after twisting. The relatively rough surface of the polypropylene fibers 13 allows for adsorption and repulsion of moisture generated during use at the woven base 11. Therefore, the moisture adsorbed at the base 11 is absorbed through the hydrophilic layer 20. 20 is woven from cotton fibers 21, and the standard moisture regain of cotton fibers 21 is 8.5%. Therefore, the hydrophilic layer 20 has good moisture absorption. When the water vapor generated during use is conducted to the hydrophilic layer 20 through the water-repellent porous layer 10, the water vapor is absorbed by the cotton fibers 21. When the water vapor is repelled by the base 11, it is directly guided to the hydrophilic layer 20 through the breathable holes 12. Thus, the hydrophilic layer 20 absorbs the generated water vapor, thereby keeping the water-repellent porous layer 10 dry and increasing the breathability of the fabric through the breathable holes 12.
[0036] The sun-protective and rain-proof layer 30 includes a sun-protective area 31 and a rain-proof area 32. The rain-proof area 32 is woven from expanded yarn 33, and the sun-protective area 31 is woven from UV-resistant yarn 34. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In its natural state, the rainproof area 32 is higher than the sunproof area 31, and the rainproof area 32 and the sunproof area 31 are distributed in an alternating concave-convex pattern. The height H between the sunproof area 31 and the rainproof area 32 is 1.5mm-4mm, preferably 2.85mm. Therefore, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, the uneven surface structure of the sunproof and rainproof layer 30 not only causes the sunproof area 31 to absorb light, but also increases light reflection due to the angle formed by the concave-convex shape between the sunproof area 31 and the rainproof area 32, thereby reducing the transmittance of ultraviolet rays. (Refer to...) Figure 4 Because the sun protection zone 31 and the rain protection zone 32 are distributed alternately, when ultraviolet rays irradiate the fabric surface, the alternating structure increases light scattering, thereby reducing the penetration of ultraviolet rays into the fabric. Furthermore, the tightness of the weave in the sun protection zone 31 is less than that in the rain protection zone 32. Therefore, the rain protection zone 32 increases the tightness of the fabric, thereby reducing the transmittance of ultraviolet rays. Meanwhile, the sun protection zone 31 allows air circulation between the outside air and the fabric without affecting the ultraviolet protection performance. This allows the water vapor absorbed by the hydrophilic layer 20 to be released through air circulation, thus keeping the hydrophilic layer 20 dry and breathable.
[0037] Reference Figure 2In its water-absorbing state, the rainproof area 32 expands to cover the sun-protective area 31, and the rainproof area 32 is located above the sun-protective area 31, expanding to cover both sides of the sun-protective area 31. This is because the rainproof area 32 is woven from expanding yarn 33, which is formed by spinning a combination of ultra-fine denier fibers and superabsorbent resin. In its natural state, the weaving structure of the expanding yarn 33 makes the gaps between the yarns larger than the diameter of raindrops, allowing raindrops to be absorbed upon contact with the expanding yarn 33. When the expanding yarn 33 absorbs water, the ultra-fine denier fibers have many micropores between the microfibers, thus increasing the fiber surface area. Furthermore, the ultra-fine denier fibers... The capillary effect formed by the pores of the fibers quickly absorbs moisture. Because of the wicking of the ultra-fine denier fibers, the expanded yarn 33 absorbs water and expands, so that the gap between the yarns after weaving the rainproof area 32 is 0.5 nanometers to 2 nanometers, preferably 2 nanometers, thereby preventing raindrops from continuing to enter. Because the expanded fiber 33 contains highly absorbent resin, the expanded yarn 33 expands after absorbing water to form a hydrogel, and expands to both sides to cover the sun protection area 31, so that the rainproof area 32 will not penetrate inward after absorbing water, keeping the water-repellent porous layer 10 and the hydrophilic layer 20 dry, while resisting rainwater from the outside, thus forming a rainproof layer.
[0038] When the external moisture no longer increases, the water absorbed evaporates through the tiny pores between the microfibers of the expanded yarn 33 due to air circulation or pressure. This causes the hydrogel to slowly lose water. As more water is lost from the expanded yarn 33, more tiny pores appear between the microfibers, resulting in a wider airflow range and faster water evaporation, thus allowing the fabric to gradually return to its natural state.
[0039] The sun-protected area 31 is close to the hydrophilic layer 20, and the rain-proof area 32 forms a cavity 40 with the hydrophilic layer 20. Under natural conditions, the cavity 40 formed between the rain-proof area 32 and the hydrophilic layer 20 can increase the air circulation of the hydrophilic layer 20 after absorbing water vapor from the water-repellent porous layer 10, thereby increasing the breathability of the hydrophilic layer 20 and accelerating the release of water from the hydrophilic layer 20, thus keeping the hydrophilic layer 20 dry. Under water-absorbing conditions, the rain-proof area 32 expands and covers the sun-protected area 31. At this time, the cavity 40 formed between the rain-proof area 32 and the hydrophilic layer 20 forms a heat storage cavity, thereby mitigating the heat loss caused by the increase of ambient humidity.
[0040] The water-repellent porous layer 10, the hydrophilic layer 20, and the sun-proof and rain-proof layer 30 are connected by sewing, so that the three layers do not easily separate, while reducing the environmental unfriendliness caused by gluing, which is beneficial to human health.
[0041] The hydrophobic porous layer 10 is woven from polypropylene fiber 13, with an 8-row loop as one cycle. The 3rd row of the 1st column is a tuck stitch, and rows 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are plain knit. The 1st and 5th rows of the 3rd and 7th columns are tuck stitches, and rows 2-4 and 6-8 are plain knit. The 7th row of the 5th column is a tuck stitch, and rows 1-6 and 8 are plain knit. The 1st to 8th rows of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th columns are all plain knit. The hydrophilic layer 20 is woven from cotton fiber 21, with a 4-row loop as one cycle. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th loops are all plain knit. The water-repellent porous layer 10 and the hydrophilic layer 20 use a 24-inch cylinder diameter and are woven at 18 stitches / inch. This allows the water-repellent porous layer 10 to form breathable holes 12 through the tuck knitting of polypropylene fibers 13, increasing the breathability of the water-repellent porous layer 10. The plain knitting of polypropylene fibers 13 forms the base 11, allowing the polypropylene fibers 13 to absorb some moisture. The hydrophilic layer 20 absorbs all moisture through the plain knitting of cotton fibers 21. Because of the plain knitting, the hydrophilic layer 20 absorbs moisture more evenly, thus keeping the water-repellent porous layer 10 dry.
[0042] The sun-protective and rain-proof layer 30 is woven from expandable yarn 33 and UV-resistant yarn 34, with the expandable yarn 33 and UV-resistant yarn 34 arranged in a 1:1 ratio. The sun-protective and rain-proof layer 30 is woven in 8-row loops, each row including purl and knit stitches. Rows 1, 3, 5, and 7 are made of the UV-resistant yarn 34, while rows 2, 4, 6, and 8 are made of the expandable yarn 33. In row 1, the 3rd and 4th knit stitches are knitted in a loop, the 1st and 2nd knit stitches are not knitted, the 1st and 3rd purl stitches are knitted in a loop, and the 2nd and 4th purl stitches are not knitted. For rows 2 and 4, the first two knit stitches are knitted together, the third and fourth knit stitches are left unknitted, and the first, second, third, and fourth purl stitches are all left unknitted. For row 3, the first two knit stitches are left unknitted, the third and fourth knit stitches are knitted together, the first and third purl stitches are left unknitted, and the second and fourth purl stitches are knitted together. For row 5, the first two knit stitches are knitted together, the third and fourth knit stitches are left unknitted, the first and third purl stitches are knitted together, and the second and fourth purl stitches are left unknitted. For rows 6 and 8, the first two knit stitches are left unknitted, the third and fourth knit stitches are knitted together, and the first, second, third, and fourth purl stitches are all left unknitted. The 7th row of stitches consists of knitting the 1st and 2nd stitches in a loop, leaving the 3rd and 4th stitches unknitted, knitting the 1st and 3rd purl stitches unknitted, and knitting the 2nd and 4th purl stitches in a loop. The sun and rain protection layer 30 uses a 36-inch tube diameter. The sun protection area 31 is knitted at 28 stitches / inch, and the rain protection area 32 is knitted at 44 stitches / inch. In its natural state, the rain protection area 32 and the sun protection area 31 form an alternating concave-convex distribution, and the height H between the sun protection area 31 and the rain protection area 32 is 1.5mm-4mm. Preferably, the height H between the sun protection area 31 and the rain protection area 32 is 2.85mm. The UV-resistant yarn 34 is woven to create a height difference between the sun protection area 31 and the rain protection area 32, and the angle increases reflection and scattering. The expansion yarn 33 is formed by spinning ultra-fine denier fibers and super absorbent resin. After spinning, the expansion yarn 33 is post-treated to increase the tensile strength and toughness of the expansion yarn. In the water-absorbing state, the rain protection area 32 is located above the sun protection area 31, and the rain protection area 32 expands and covers both sides of the sun protection area 31, so that the expansion yarn 33 will not break due to expansion to both sides due to water absorption.
