Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of weft knitting, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a weft knitted towel fabric and the fabric. Background Art

[0002] At present, the weft knitted towel fabrics on the market are all woven by special towel machines. In the weaving process of the towel machine, the ground yarn is bent on the jaw of the sinker to form a flat needle loop, and the sinker arc of the terry yarn is bent on the nose of the sinker is elongated to form a terry loop. The vertical distance from the upper edge of the nose to the upper edge of the jaw is called the height of the terry loop, if you want to change the height of the terry loop, you need to replace the sinkers with different nose heights. At present, due to the limitations of the nose height of the terry loop sinker of the towel machine and the equipment, the height of the terry loop cannot be adjusted freely, and the current towel machine loom number is relatively coarse, mainly below 28 needles, and high needles cannot be freely selected. The towel fabrics produced are not suitable for the development and production of light and thin fabrics. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a weft knitted towel and a method for making the same. The terry height of the towel fabric in the present invention can be freely selected, and the number of needles of the machine can also be freely selected without being restricted by special terry equipment.

[0004] As a first aspect of the present invention, a method for making a weft-knitted towel fabric is proposed. The fabric is woven by a cotton wool machine and includes a terry area. In the minimum weaving cycle unit of the terry area, at least three types of yarns are included; wherein the first yarn is looped in sequence on an upper needle disc and a lower needle cylinder, the second yarn is fed simultaneously with the first yarn and is formed into a loop structure and a floating thread structure on the upper needle disc, the third yarn is a soluble yarn and is formed into a loop structure on the lower needle cylinder, after the weaving is completed, the third yarn is removed by a dyeing and finishing process, and the first yarn forms a terry layer in the loop structure of the lower needle cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the terry area knitting uses the cotton wool of the cotton wool machine to align the needle cylinder and the needle disk. During the knitting process, the upper needle disk and the lower needle cylinder each have 2 needles for one needle row cycle, and a total of four knitting systems form one cycle, among which:

[0006] In the first knitting system, the first yarn is looped in the upper needle disc and the lower needle cylinder in turn at the first needle position and the second needle position respectively, and the second yarn is fed in at the same time as the first yarn and forms a looped structure at the first needle position of the upper needle disc, and forms a floating structure at the second needle position;

[0010] After weaving, the third yarn is removed through dyeing and finishing process, and the first yarn forms a terry layer in the looping structure of the lower needle cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the terry area knitting uses the cotton wool of the cotton wool machine to align the needle cylinder and the needle disk. During the knitting process, the upper needle disk and the lower needle cylinder each have 2 needles for one needle row cycle, and a total of three knitting systems form one cycle, among which:

[0012] In the first knitting system, the first yarn is looped in the upper needle disc and the lower needle cylinder in turn at the first needle position and the second needle position respectively, and the second yarn is fed in at the same time as the first yarn and forms a looped structure at the first needle position of the upper needle disc, and forms a floating structure at the second needle position;

[0020] Furthermore, the fabric also includes a non-terry area, and the non-terry area and the terry area form transverse stripes, longitudinal stripes, jacquards or dots, and other pattern structures.

[0021] Furthermore, the knitting structure of the non-terry area is the same as the knitting structure of the terry area, except that the third yarn is still retained after the dyeing and finishing process.

[0022] Furthermore, the height of the terry weave can be adjusted by adjusting the yarn fineness, thread length density or the number of loom needles.

[0023] Furthermore, the third yarn is water-soluble yarn.

[0026] When the terry area and the non-terry area are distributed in transverse stripes, the terry area in the transverse direction is woven continuously with terry tissue, and the non-terry area in the transverse direction is woven continuously with non-terry tissue, wherein: the weaving of the terry area includes the following weaving methods:

[0027] Knitting method 1: Set the cotton wool alignment of the upper needle disk and the lower needle cylinder of the cotton wool machine, so that the four-way knitting system is one knitting cycle, and two needles are one needle row cycle. In the first knitting system, the first yarn is knitted into a loop structure at the upper needle disk at the first needle position and the lower needle cylinder at the second needle position, and the second yarn is knitted into a loop structure at the upper needle disk at the first needle position and forms a floating thread structure at the second needle position;

[0028] In the second knitting system, the third yarn is a soluble yarn, which is knitted into a loop structure at the second needle position of the lower needle cylinder, and the remaining needle positions form a floating thread structure;

[0029] In the third knitting system, the first yarn is knitted into a loop structure at the lower needle cylinder at the first needle position and the upper needle disk at the second needle position, and the second yarn is knitted into a loop structure at the upper needle disk at the second needle position and forms a floating structure at the first needle position;

[0030] In the fourth knitting system, the third yarn is a soluble yarn, which is knitted into a loop structure at the first needle position of the lower needle cylinder, and the remaining needle positions form a floating thread structure. After knitting, the soluble yarn is removed through a dyeing and finishing process, and the first yarn forms a terry loop in the loop structure of the lower needle cylinder.

[0031] Weaving method 2: Set the upper needle plate and lower needle cylinder of the cotton wool machine to rib alignment, the two-way weaving system is a weaving cycle, and two needles are a needle row cycle. In the first weaving system, the first yarn forms a loop structure in the base layer of the first needle position and the terry layer of the second needle position, and the second yarn forms a loop structure in the base layer of the first needle position and a floating thread structure in the second needle position; in the second weaving system, the third yarn is a soluble yarn, which is knitted into a loop structure in the second needle position of the lower needle cylinder, and the remaining needle positions form a floating thread structure. After weaving, the soluble yarn is removed through the dyeing and finishing process, and the first yarn forms a terry loop in the loop structure of the lower needle cylinder.

[0032] The weaving of non-terry areas includes the following weaving methods:

[0033] Knitting method 1: Set the cotton wool alignment between the upper needle plate and the lower needle cylinder of the cotton wool machine, so that the four-way knitting system is one knitting cycle, and two needles are one needle row cycle. In the first knitting system, the first yarn forms a loop structure at the first needle position of the lower needle cylinder and the second needle position of the upper needle plate;

[0034] In the second knitting system: the fourth yarn forms a loop structure at the first needle position of the lower needle cylinder and a floating thread structure at the second needle position;

[0035] In the third knitting system: the first yarn forms a loop structure at the first needle position of the upper needle disc and the second needle position of the lower needle cylinder;

[0036] In the fourth knitting system: the fourth yarn forms a loop structure at the second needle position of the lower needle cylinder and a floating thread structure at the first needle position.

[0037] Weaving method two: set the upper needle disk and lower needle cylinder of the cotton wool machine to ribbing position, so that the two-way weaving system is one weaving cycle, and two needles are one needle row cycle. In the first weaving system, the first yarn forms a loop structure at the 1st needle position of the upper needle disk and the 2nd needle position of the lower needle cylinder; in the second weaving system: the fourth yarn forms a loop structure at the 2nd needle position of the lower needle cylinder and a floating thread structure formed at the 1st needle position.

[0038] When the terry area and the non-terry area are distributed in longitudinal stripes, the terry tissue and the non-terry tissue are woven alternately. There are several weaving methods:

[0039] Method 1: The terry tissue adopts the first weaving system and the second weaving system of its weaving method 1, and the non-terry tissue adopts the first weaving system and the second weaving system of its weaving method 1, and the number of coils configured in the terry tissue is the same as the number of coils configured in the non-terry tissue and the position of the coils in each horizontal row.

[0040] Method 2: The terry tissue adopts the third weaving system and the fourth weaving system of its weaving method one, and the non-terry tissue adopts the third weaving system and the fourth weaving system of its weaving method one, and the number of coils configured in the terry tissue is the same as the number of coils configured in the non-terry tissue and the position of the coils in each horizontal row.

[0041] Method 3: The terry tissue adopts the first weaving system and the second weaving system of its weaving method 2, and the non-non-terry tissue adopts the first weaving system and the second weaving system of its weaving method 1, and the number of coils configured in the terry tissue is the same as the number of coils configured in the non-terry tissue and the position of the coils in each horizontal row.

[0042] When the terry area and the non-terry area are in the shape of dots, blocks or other patterns, the same weaving method as the longitudinal stripes can be used. The difference is that the number of coils of the terry tissue and the non-terry tissue is different. For example, when the coils of the terry tissue and the non-terry tissue are staggered in adjacent horizontal rows in a 1:1 alternating weaving method, a dot jacquard is formed; when the coils of the terry tissue and the non-terry tissue are staggered in adjacent horizontal rows in a 5:5 or 10:10 or 4:8 alternating weaving method, a block jacquard is formed; when the coils of the terry tissue and the non-terry tissue are alternately woven in irregular proportions, any pattern can be formed.

[0043] As a third aspect of the present invention, a weft knitted towel fabric is provided. The weft knitted towel fabric is made by the manufacturing method of the weft knitted towel fabric as described above.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0045] 1. The height of the terry fabric of the towel fabric of the present invention is determined by the size of the coil and the longitudinal density of the fabric. The yarn fineness, line length density and number of loom needles can be adjusted as needed to achieve the desired effect, and is no longer limited by the height of the nose of the sinker of the towel machine;

[0046] 2 The weaving of the towel fabric of the present invention is completed by a cotton wool machine, and the machine gauge selection of the loom is greatly expanded compared with the traditional terry machine. The density of the terry that can be woven is higher, and the fabric can be lighter and thinner.

[0047] The towel fabric of the present invention can achieve the stripe effect of the cotton wool structure and the terry structure by properly configuring the third yarn, and the spacing between the stripes can be flexibly adjusted by configuring the third yarn, which greatly enriches the structure of the towel fabric.

[0059] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] This embodiment provides a weft knitted towel fabric and a manufacturing method thereof. The fabric is knitted using a 40-needle 34-inch cotton wool machine, and the upper needle plate and the lower needle cylinder of the cotton wool machine each have a total needle number of 4272 needles; the towel fabric includes a terry area, and when the terry area is knitted, the needle cylinder and the needle plate cotton wool of the cotton wool machine are aligned, and the minimum knitting cycle unit of the terry area includes three types of yarns; Figure 1 As shown, during the knitting process, the upper needle disc and the lower needle cylinder each have 2 needles for one needle row cycle, and a total of four knitting systems form one cycle, among which:

[0062] In the first knitting system, the first yarn is looped in the upper needle disc and the lower needle cylinder in turn at the first needle position and the second needle position respectively, and the second yarn is fed in at the same time as the first yarn and forms a looped structure at the first needle position of the upper needle disc, and forms a floating structure at the second needle position;

[0063] In the second knitting system, the third yarn forms a loop structure at the first needle position of the lower needle cylinder, and a floating yarn structure at the second needle position;

[0064] In the third knitting system, the first yarn is looped in the lower needle cylinder and the upper needle disc in turn at the first needle position and the second needle position respectively, the second yarn is fed in at the same time as the first yarn and forms a looped structure at the second needle position of the upper needle disc, and a floating thread structure is formed at the first needle position;

[0065] In the fourth knitting system, the third yarn forms a loop structure in the lower needle cylinder at the second needle position, and a floating yarn structure is formed at the first needle position;

[0066] Among them, the first yarn is 94% modal 6% silk blended yarn, the yarn specification is 120S / 1, the yarn accounts for 46%, and the line length is 18.8cm / 100 needles; the second yarn is 20D / 7F DTY nylon high elastic yarn, the yarn accounts for 11.4%, and the line length is 10.3cm / 100 needles; the third yarn is 75D / 36F DTY alkali-soluble silk, the yarn accounts for 42.7%, and the line length is 10.3cm / 100 needles.

[0067] After weaving, the third yarn is removed through dyeing and finishing process, and the first yarn forms a terry layer in the looping structure of the lower needle cylinder.

[0068] The knitted towel fabric of this embodiment has small yarn fineness and high coil density, and the fabric is light, thin and soft, and is very suitable for underwear clothing. Moreover, since one side has a terry structure, when the terry surface is used as the reverse side of the process, it can increase warmth retention or reduce the stickiness of the skin, making it more comfortable to wear.

[0069] The height of the terry loops of the knitted towel fabric of this embodiment is determined by the size of the coils of the first yarn and the longitudinal density of the fabric. Therefore, the size of the terry loops can be adjusted by adjusting the knitting process parameters such as yarn fineness, line length density, and number of loom needles, so that the structural changes of the knitted towel fabric are more flexible. For example, in the weaving process, by increasing the yarn feeding of the first yarn, the line length density of the first yarn can be increased, and the terry loops can be enlarged, so that the effect of changing the height of the terry loops at any position on the same fabric can be achieved; by selecting a thicker first yarn, the line length is increased, and the terry loops are enlarged; by selecting a higher number of loom needles, the distance between the coils is reduced, the line length is reduced, and the terry loop structure is reduced.
