Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to clothing fabrics, and more particularly to an easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Cotton and linen fabrics, as an important category of natural textile fabrics, have long been favored by consumers and widely used in clothing, home decoration and other fields due to their advantages such as being made from natural plants (cotton, flax), having a soft and comfortable feel, excellent breathability, good moisture absorption and perspiration wicking properties, and having unique natural textures.
[0003] However, cotton and linen fabrics themselves have significant performance defects: Firstly, the waterproof performance is poor. The porous structure of natural fibers makes the fabric easy to absorb water. When it comes into contact with water, it will not only penetrate quickly, but also increase in weight due to water absorption, affecting the user experience. Especially in outdoor scenarios (such as outdoor leisure and short trips), once it encounters rain or dew, clothing and household items are easily soaked, making it difficult to meet users' needs for waterproof function. Secondly, it is difficult to care for. Cotton and linen fabrics are prone to wrinkles and deformation after washing, and after repeated washing, the fibers are prone to wear and tear and the texture is reduced. Frequent ironing and other care operations are required, which does not meet the modern consumer's demand for "easy-care" fabrics. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the issues of non-waterproof and difficult-to-care-for cotton-linen composite fabrics by leveraging the soft and skin-friendly advantages of cotton-linen fabrics, an easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric and its preparation method are provided.
[0005] The first inventive objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: An easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric includes an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The outer layer, middle layer, and inner layer are composited in a dot-matrix manner. The outer layer is a high-density woven fabric. In the blended yarn of the outer layer, by weight percentage, linen and cotton fibers account for 40-60 wt%, ultrafine polyester fibers account for 20-40 wt%, and polytetrafluoroethylene microfibers account for 10-30 wt%. The middle layer is an elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric, which is a mesh structure made of spandex core-spun yarn; The inner layer is a cotton woven fabric that has undergone anti-wrinkle treatment.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer layer of this application adopts a woven high-density structure, which physically reduces the porosity between yarns and increases the hydrostatic pressure required for water penetration; the ultrafine polyester provides the skeleton of the outer layer, increasing the yarn strength and wrinkle resistance, and its high shrinkage characteristics help to further tighten the fabric structure and reduce porosity during finishing; the polytetrafluoroethylene microfiber has low surface energy, and after being interwoven with other fibers, it is evenly distributed in the outer layer, forming a lasting "micro-fleece" effect on the outer layer surface, which greatly enhances water repellency, making it difficult for water droplets to penetrate; thus, the core waterproof function is achieved by this outer layer; The middle layer is an elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric, which provides slight elasticity, increases the fabric's wearing comfort and shape recovery, and reduces wrinkles. It also utilizes the hydrophobicity of the spandex core and the hydrophilicity of the covering cotton to create a capillary effect, quickly absorbing sweat from the inner layer and guiding it to the outer layer for dissipation, keeping the wearer dry. This serves to wick away moisture and maintain a connection, and it does not absorb water itself, so it does not add weight. The inner layer uses cotton woven fabric, retaining the maximum softness, comfort, and natural texture of the fabric that comes into contact with the skin. At the same time, due to its wrinkle-resistant finish, it greatly reduces the difficulty of care. Therefore, the easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric of this application has an outer layer responsible for core protection, a middle layer that plays a role in moisture wicking and connection, and an inner layer that ensures skin-friendly comfort. The dot-matrix composite method ensures structural strength while preserving the original pores of each layer of material to the greatest extent, so that the fabric as a whole maintains excellent breathability and avoids the stiffness, hardening and stuffiness caused by coating process and film composite process.
[0007] Optionally, the outer fabric is treated with a waterproof finishing liquid through padding and baking, wherein the composition of the waterproof finishing liquid is as follows by mass percentage: Epoxy-modified nano-silica dispersion 5-10 wt%, Octadecyltriethoxysilane 1.5–3.5 wt%, 8-15 wt% aqueous polyurethane dispersion Catalyst 0.5–1.5 wt%, The remainder is deionized water.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, cotton and linen fabrics are immersed in a waterproof finishing liquid. The finishing liquid is made to penetrate into the fiber gaps and surface by the pressure of the rollers. Components such as nano-silica particles, silane molecules, and polyurethane are initially and uniformly attached to the fiber surface through van der Waals forces and other forces. During the baking process, octadecyltriethoxysilane hydrolyzes to form activated silanol groups, which react with hydroxyl groups on the surface of nano-silica and cellulose fibers, thus permanently chemically grafting hydrophobic long-chain alkyl groups onto the fibers and nanoparticles. Then, the waterborne polyurethane is dehydrated at high temperature to form a film, creating a soft and breathable three-dimensional mesh film that wraps and firmly fixes the nano-silica particles that have been grafted with hydrophobic molecules to the fiber surface, further enhancing the stability of the finishing effect. The polyurethane itself also contributes hydrophobicity and elasticity. Through the above process, a micro-nano composite rough structure is finally formed on the fiber surface. Nano-silica particles and their aggregates constitute microscopic protrusions and roughness. Chemically grafted long-chain alkyl groups are uniformly covered on each protrusion surface, providing extremely low surface energy and significantly improving the water contact angle of the fiber surface. This endows the outer fabric with a long-lasting and environmentally friendly superhydrophobic function. The extremely small amount used and the nano-sized particles ensure that the finished fabric remains soft to the touch, without any stickiness or stiffness, and its breathability is not affected. This completely overcomes the shortcomings of traditional waterproofing agents, where the feel (the effect is not long-lasting and sticky after treatment with nano wax crystal emulsion) and effectiveness cannot be achieved at the same time.
[0009] Optionally, after the outer fabric is impregnated with the waterproof finishing liquid, it is first pre-dried at 80-100℃ for 3-5 minutes, and then baked at 120-140℃ for 2-3 minutes.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and directly baking, the excessively high temperature will cause more moisture on the fabric surface to move rapidly from unsaturated areas to saturated areas and from high-temperature areas to low-temperature areas. When the moisture moves, it will carry its dissolved or suspended finishing agent components, such as nano-silica particles, silane, polyurethane, etc., and migrate together, which will eventually lead to uneven distribution of finishing agents on the fiber surface, such as excessive accumulation at yarn intersections and fabric folds, while too little accumulation in flat areas. Areas where the finishing agent is concentrated will feel stiff, have color differences, and appear frosty white, indicating that the waterproofing may be too strong but not breathable; areas with too little finishing agent will have poor waterproofing and become weak points for water seepage. In this application, the pre-drying process is not simply drying out moisture, but a "controllable and rapid fixation process." It uses gentle heat input to evaporate moisture and, before entering the high-temperature baking stage, pre-fixes waterproof finishing liquid components such as nano-silica, silane, and polyurethane onto the fiber surface in a situ and uniform manner to the maximum extent possible. This completely eliminates the "migratory" phenomenon caused by violent moisture evaporation, ensuring that the final hydrophobic layer is uniform and consistent, and avoiding problems such as uneven waterproofing, stiff and rough fabric feel, and color difference.
[0011] Optionally, the anti-wrinkle finishing of the inner layer includes padding in an anti-wrinkle finishing solution and baking; the anti-wrinkle finishing solution comprises, by mass percentage: 4.0 to 6.0 wt% of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid; Polymaleic acid 1.0–2.0 wt%; Epoxy-modified amino silicone oil microemulsion 2.0–4.0 wt%; Sodium hypophosphite 2.0–3.0 wt%; Penetrant 0.1–0.3 wt%; The remainder is deionized water.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner layer is impregnated in an anti-wrinkle finishing solution, which fully penetrates the amorphous region of each fiber. Then, under the baking environment, sodium hypophosphite is activated. Under the action of sodium hypophosphite, the carboxyl groups in 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid and polymaleic acid first dehydrate to form highly reactive anhydrides. These anhydride intermediates rapidly undergo esterification with the hydroxyl groups on the adjacent cellulose macromolecular chains to form strong covalent ester bonds. 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid has four carboxyl groups. As a "cross-linking bridge", it uses its multiple carboxyl groups as anchor points to pull the originally loose and easily slippery cellulose macromolecular chains closer together and firmly connect them to form a three-dimensional cross-linking network, which restricts the movement of cellulose and thus gives the fabric excellent wrinkle recovery ability. Polymaleic acid, as a synergistic crosslinking agent, has a moderate molecular weight and can effectively penetrate into the amorphous region of the fiber. It works synergistically with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid to enhance the anti-wrinkle effect. Furthermore, the ester bonds on the polymaleic acid molecular chain itself have flexibility and can act as an "internal plasticizer" to partially offset the increase in fiber rigidity caused by crosslinking and contribute softness from the inside. Meanwhile, the epoxy groups in the epoxy-modified amino silicone oil undergo ring-opening reactions. The silanol active sites after ring opening can undergo etherification or esterification reactions with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers and the carboxyl groups in the formed ester crosslinking network to form CO-Si or C(=O)-O-Si covalent bonds. The organosilicon chains are permanently grafted onto the fibers and crosslinking network through strong covalent bonds. These flexible siloxane long chains play a role in lubrication and isolation between fibers, greatly reducing the friction between fibers, thereby achieving a lasting and extremely soft and smooth feel. This ultimately forms a molecular-level composite network that combines rigidity and flexibility within and on the surface of the fiber. “Gang”: Derived from the covalent cross-linked network formed by 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid / polymaleic acid and cellulose, it provides a framework for wrinkle resistance and shape retention; "Softness": This comes from the flexible long chains of organosilicon grafted onto the backbone through covalent bonds, which provide permanent lubrication and isolation between fibers. The outermost flexible organosilicon chain is in direct contact with the skin. It has extremely low surface energy and a smooth feel, thus giving the inner layer an excellent skin-friendly experience. Thus, the anti-wrinkle finishing of this application simultaneously achieves anti-wrinkle and softness, giving the inner layer lasting anti-wrinkle properties and an excellent soft touch.
[0013] Optionally, the anti-wrinkle finishing process of the inner layer involves: after padding in an anti-wrinkle finishing solution, pre-drying at 80-90℃ for 3-5 minutes, and then baking at 150-160℃ for 90-150 seconds.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the migration and initial concentration of the anti-wrinkle finishing liquid after padding are avoided, ensuring that the cross-linking reaction and silicone oil grafting reaction are fully completed. At the same time, fiber strength damage, yellowing and hardening of the hand feel caused by excessive temperature or time are avoided.
[0015] Optionally, the fineness of the ultrafine polyester is between 0.5D and 1.5D.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, high-shrinkage polyester can generate further shrinkage during the finishing and baking process, actively and permanently tightening the fabric structure, physically reducing the porosity between yarns, thereby significantly improving the fabric's ability to resist water pressure penetration, and together with the waterproof finishing agent, it forms a solid waterproof defense.
[0017] Optionally, the dot-like bonding method is environmentally friendly water-based polyurethane dot adhesive bonding; the density of the dot-like bonding dots is 5-25 dots / cm². 2 .
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a firm bond is achieved only at discrete points, while the vast majority of the area remains suspended, thus ensuring that the overall breathability and softness of the composite fabric are almost unaffected. This avoids the problem of stiff and non-breathable fabrics caused by full-area adhesive coating in traditional composite processes.
[0019] The second objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: The above-mentioned method for caring for easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric includes the following steps: S1 Raw material preparation: Prepare the outer layer blended yarn and weave it into a high-density outer layer fabric; prepare the middle layer elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric; prepare the inner layer fabric and perform anti-wrinkle finishing. S2 outer layer finishing: The outer layer fabric is treated with a durable waterproof finish, including padding with a waterproof finishing agent, drying and high-temperature baking; S3 layered composite: The outer, middle and inner layers, after being prepared, are stacked in sequence. S4 dot-matrix lamination: Using ultrasonic lamination equipment or dispensing lamination equipment, the three-layered materials are bonded together in a dot-matrix manner to form a composite fabric. S5 Curing and Shaping: The composite fabric is cured in a constant temperature environment, and then shaped and inspected.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, this method can stably and efficiently prepare composite fabrics that combine excellent waterproofness, breathability, softness and skin-friendliness, and durability and easy care, thus achieving reproducibility of product performance and large-scale production.
[0021] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects: The easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric of this application has an outer layer responsible for core protection, a middle layer that serves to wick away moisture and connect the layers, and an inner layer that ensures skin-friendly comfort. The dot-matrix composite method ensures structural strength while maximizing the preservation of the original pores of each layer of material, so that the fabric as a whole maintains excellent breathability and avoids the stiffness, hardening, and stuffiness caused by coating and film composite processes.

The aqueous phase was transferred to a high-speed shear disperser and the rotation speed was set to 9000 rpm. Under the shearing at 9000 rpm, the oil phase was slowly added dropwise to the aqueous phase at a drop rate of 0.7 kg / min. After the dropwise addition was completed, the high-speed shearing at 9000 rpm was maintained for 30 min until the emulsion particle size distribution was uniform and D50 ≤ 200 nm. Stop heating and shearing, and allow the emulsion to cool naturally to 25°C. Stir at a low speed of 200 rpm during the cooling process to prevent separation. After cooling, the pH value of the emulsion is tested. If necessary, it is adjusted with citric acid to make the pH = 6.5.

Combine Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.
[0109] The test results show: The hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer of Example 1 is greater than that of Comparative Example 4. The hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer of Comparative Example 4 is significantly greater than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 3. The water repellency rating of Example 1 is equal to that of Comparative Example 4. The water repellency rating of Example 1 is greater than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 4. Therefore, the waterproof performance of Example 1 is significantly better than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and also better than that of Comparative Example 4. After washing 30 times, the hydrostatic pressure of Example 1 was greater than that of Comparative Example 4. After washing 30 times, the hydrostatic pressure of Comparative Example 4 was significantly greater than that of Comparative Examples 1-3. Therefore, the outer waterproof durability of Example 1 was significantly better than that of Comparative Examples 1-4. Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4: In Example 1, the outer layer is made of cotton fiber, linen fiber, microfiber, and a blend of cotton linen and microfiber; the middle layer is an elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric; and the inner layer 2 is a wrinkle-resistant cotton woven fabric. The outer layer of Comparative Example 1 is a blend of cotton and linen fibers, and its outer layer has no waterproof properties. The outer layer of Comparative Example 2 was obtained by blending cotton fiber, linen fiber and ultrafine polyester fiber; Comparative Example 3 has an outer layer made of a blend of cotton fiber, linen fiber and polytetrafluoroethylene microfiber; The cotton woven mesh fabric of Comparative Example 4 was used as the intermediate layer.
[0110] Therefore, it can be verified that the outer layer of the composite fabric in Example 1 adopts a woven high-density structure, which physically reduces the porosity between yarns and increases the hydrostatic pressure required for water penetration; the ultrafine polyester provides the skeleton of the outer layer, increasing yarn strength and wrinkle resistance, and its high shrinkage characteristics help to further tighten the fabric structure and reduce porosity during finishing; the PTFE microfibers have low surface energy, and after being interwoven with other fibers, they are evenly distributed in the outer layer, forming a lasting "micro-fleece" effect on the outer layer surface, which greatly enhances water repellency, making it difficult for water droplets to penetrate; thus, the outer layer achieves... The core function is waterproofing; the middle layer is an elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric, which provides slight elasticity, increases the fabric's wearing comfort and shape recovery, and reduces wrinkles; and utilizes the hydrophobicity of the spandex core and the hydrophilicity of the covering cotton to create a capillary effect, quickly absorbing sweat from the inner layer and guiding it to the outer layer for dissipation, keeping the wearer dry, thus playing a role in moisture wicking and bonding, and it does not absorb water itself, so it will not add weight; the inner layer uses cotton woven fabric, retaining the maximum softness, comfort and natural texture of the surface against the skin, while the wrinkle-resistant finish greatly reduces the difficulty of care; Therefore, the easy-care waterproof cotton-linen composite fabric of this application has an outer layer responsible for core protection, a middle layer that plays a role in moisture wicking and connection, and an inner layer that ensures skin-friendly comfort. The dot-matrix composite method ensures structural strength while preserving the original pores of each layer of material to the greatest extent, so that the fabric as a whole maintains excellent breathability.
[0111] Comparing Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that... Example 2 is a further improvement on Example 1. Before the outer layer, intermediate layer and inner layer are laminated, the outer layer is first impregnated, pre-dried and baked with the waterproof finishing liquid represented by Preparation Example 3 of this application. Comparative Example 5 is based on Example 1. Before the outer layer, intermediate layer and inner layer are laminated, the outer layer is first impregnated, pre-dried and baked with a waterproof finishing liquid of the nano-wax crystal emulsion type.
[0112] In the test results, The hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer of Example 2 after 30 washes is greater than that of Comparative Example 5 and significantly greater than that of Example 1. Therefore, the waterproofness and waterproof durability of the composite fabric of Example 2 are significantly improved compared with Example 1. At the same time, the air permeability and wrinkle recovery angle of Example 2 are still similar to those of Example 1. The overall softness test results of Example 2 remain soft, and the outer layer does not harden.
[0113] The hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer of Comparative Example 5 and the hydrostatic pressure after 30 washes were greater than those of Example 1. However, the hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer of Comparative Example 5 after 30 washes was significantly lower than the initial hydrostatic pressure. The air permeability of Comparative Example 5 was significantly lower than that of Example 1. The wrinkle recovery angle of Comparative Example 5 was significantly lower than that of Example 1. In the overall softness test results of Comparative Example 5, the outer layer was hard and had a sticky feel.
[0114] Furthermore, considering Examples 10-11, which are significantly better than Example 1, the overall softness test results of Examples 10-11 still show that the outer layer remains soft without any hardening. This indicates that when the waterproof finishing liquid of this application is used to impart better waterproof performance to the outer fabric, it ensures that the finished fabric remains soft to the touch, without any stickiness or stiffness, and its breathability is not affected. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional nano-wax crystal emulsion finishing liquids, which have a short-lasting effect and become sticky.
[0115] Comparing Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that the hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer in Example 3 and the hydrostatic pressure after 30 washes are slightly lower than those in Example 2. The wrinkle recovery angle and air permeability of Example 3 are slightly lower than those in Example 2. In the softness test of Example 3, some points and blocks of the outer layer are hardened in the hand feel evaluation. In addition, during the production process, it can be found that the outer layer also has local color difference or frosty white.
[0116] The reason is due to: In Example 3, the effective components of the outer waterproof finishing liquid underwent a "migratory" phenomenon during the preparation process. In Example 3, the outer fabric was directly baked after impregnation. The excessively high temperature caused a large amount of moisture on the fabric surface to rapidly migrate from unsaturated areas to saturated areas and from high-temperature areas to low-temperature areas. When the moisture migrated, it carried along dissolved or suspended finishing agent components (such as nano-silica particles, silanes, polyurethanes, etc.). This ultimately leads to uneven distribution of the finishing agent on the fiber surface, such as excessive accumulation at yarn intersections and fabric folds, while insufficient accumulation in smooth areas; areas with concentrated finishing agent feel stiff, have color differences and a frosty white appearance, and may be too waterproof but not breathable; areas with insufficient finishing agent have poor waterproofing and become weak points for water seepage.
[0117] In Example 2, a pre-drying process with a transition temperature is added between padding and baking. This is not simply drying out moisture, but a "controllable rapid fixation process". It uses gentle heat input to evaporate moisture and pre-fix the waterproof finishing liquid components on the fiber surface in situ and evenly to the maximum extent before entering the high-temperature baking stage. This completely eliminates the "migratory" phenomenon caused by violent evaporation of moisture, ensuring that the final hydrophobic layer is uniform and consistent, and avoiding problems such as uneven waterproofing, stiff and rough fabric feel, and color difference.
[0118] Comparing Examples 1, 2, and 4, it can be seen that the wrinkle recovery angle of Examples 2 and 4 is larger than that of Example 1, and the wrinkle resistance of Examples 2 and 4 is enhanced compared with that of Example 1. On the other hand, the inner layer dynamic friction coefficient of Example 4 is significantly larger than that of Example 2, and in the overall softness test, Example 4 is generally stiff, especially the inner side is significantly stiff.
[0119] Furthermore, considering Examples 12-13, the results of Examples 12-13 are significantly greater than those of Example 1. At the same time, the coefficient of dynamic friction of the inner layer of Examples 12-13 is less than that of Example 4. The overall softness test results of Examples 12-13 remain soft, without any hardening.
[0120] Therefore, the anti-wrinkle finishing liquid of this application performs anti-wrinkle finishing on the inner layer, which can simultaneously achieve anti-wrinkle and softness, giving the inner layer a lasting anti-wrinkle effect and excellent soft touch.
[0121] Comparing Examples 2 and 5, it can be seen that the coefficient of dynamic friction of the inner layer in Example 5 is greater than that in Example 2, the wrinkle recovery angle of Example 5 is smaller than that in Example 2, and the overall softness test of Example 5 is not as good as that of Example 2. This is because in Example 5, the inner layer was directly baked after padding in the anti-wrinkle treatment, causing migration and initial concentration of the anti-wrinkle finishing solution, resulting in insufficient cross-linking and silicone oil grafting reactions. Furthermore, the rapid temperature change led to fiber strength damage, thus reducing the performance of Example 5. Therefore, in the anti-wrinkle finishing process of the inner layer of this application, it is better to perform a pre-baking treatment at a transition temperature after padding in the anti-wrinkle finishing solution, followed by baking.
[0122] Comparing Examples 2 and 6, it can be seen that the difference lies in the composite process. Example 2 uses dot-coating composite, while Example 6 uses surface coating composite. In the test results, the air permeability of Example 2 is greater than that of Example 6, and the overall softness evaluation of Example 2 is better than that of Example 6 in terms of hand feel. Therefore, this application uses dot-coating for composite, which achieves a firm bond only at discrete points, leaving most of the area suspended. This ensures that the overall air permeability and softness of the composite fabric are hardly damaged, avoiding the problem of stiff and non-breathable fabric caused by full-area coating in traditional composite processes.
[0123] Comparing Examples 2 and 7-9, the fineness of the ultrafine polyester fiber used in Example 7 was 0.5D, the fineness of the ultrafine polyester fiber used in Example 2 was 1D, the fineness of the ultrafine polyester fiber used in Example 8 was 1.5D, and the fineness of the ultrafine polyester fiber used in Example 9 was 2.5D.
[0124] The test results show that the hydrostatic pressure of the outer layer, from high to low, is as follows: Example 2, Example 8, Example 7, and Example 9. After washing 30 times, the hydrostatic pressure, from high to low, is as follows: Example 2, Example 8, Example 7, and Example 9. Therefore, the fineness of the ultrafine polyester in this application is preferably between 0.5D and 1.5D.
[0125] In addition, during the research and development process of this application, there are other superior fiber ratios for the outer layer, such as in Examples 14 and 15. The hydrostatic pressure, hydrostatic pressure after 30 washes, and air permeability of the outer layer are significantly improved compared with the comparative examples 1 to 3 of the prior art. Moreover, the surface does not harden or become sticky. Therefore, the fiber ratio of the outer layer in the composite fabric of this application is controlled at 40-60 wt% for hemp and cotton fibers, 20-40 wt% for ultrafine polyester fibers, and 10-30 wt% for polytetrafluoroethylene microfibers. In this way, the outer layer fabric can still maintain excellent waterproofness, durable waterproofness, and breathability.
[0126] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
