Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile technology, specifically relating to the production process of slippage at the seam during washing of linen-resistant shirts. Background Technology
[0002] Linen fiber is highly favored among high-end shirt fabrics due to its unique advantages such as moisture absorption and breathability, rugged and natural style, and dry and comfortable wear. However, linen fiber itself is rigid and has poor elasticity, and its yarn is usually relatively sparse, which leads to many technical problems in the production and use of linen shirt fabrics, among which the problem of "seam slippage after washing" is particularly prominent.
[0003] Seam slippage, also known as "slippage," refers to the phenomenon where yarns in a fabric slip laterally from the seam when subjected to external force, causing the seam to separate. Linen shirts, after being sewn, typically undergo washing and drying processes to achieve a soft feel and stable dimensions. However, under the mechanical force of industrial or household washing, the loose fabric structure and low friction between yarns make it highly susceptible to slippage at the seams. This not only causes significant rework during production, substantially increasing costs, but more seriously, if seam slippage occurs during washing after the garment is sold, it will directly lead to cracking at the seams, severely affecting the product's appearance, durability, and wearing experience, causing embarrassment for the wearer, triggering customer complaints and claims, and damaging the brand's reputation.
[0004] In the prior art, several solutions have been proposed to address the problem of seam slippage in textiles. For example, patent CN109109410A discloses a process that uses hot melt adhesive to bond corduroy fabric to a breathable membrane, followed by a one-sided water-repellent treatment to improve seam slippage. However, this process aims to give the fabric waterproof and breathable properties and increase its stiffness. Its core bonding process completely alters the lightweight and breathable natural essence of linen fabric, making it completely unsuitable for linen shirts that prioritize naturalness, environmental friendliness, and a unique feel. Patent CN111074621A discloses a finishing process for wrinkle-resistant linen shirts. Although its finishing composition includes an "anti-cracking agent," the main purpose of this patent is to solve the wrinkle problem and shorten the finishing time. Its processes (such as alkaline washing, stacking, soaking in chemicals, and baking) primarily target the wrinkle resistance of the fabric and do not specifically address or verify its effectiveness in preventing seam slippage during the washing process of linen shirts. Another patent, CN110747562A, mainly focuses on the mechanical performance indicators of ultra-soft denim fabric. Its high seam slip strength comes from the tight structural characteristics of denim fabric, which is fundamentally different from the loose structural characteristics of linen fabric. Therefore, its technical solution cannot be used to solve the problem of tearing in linen shirts.
[0005] Furthermore, the literature "Research on Linen Shirt Production Technology" (published by Song Haiyan et al. on June 19, 2023) also explores the quality control of linen shirts from the macro-process perspectives of cutting, interfacing, sewing, ironing, and washing, pointing out problems such as easy slippage, and proposing general suggestions such as controlling stitch density and adjusting the washing process to improve the feel. However, these suggestions are mostly empirical summaries, lacking a set of integrated and innovative processes that are targeted and systematic, from materials science to refined finishing, to fundamentally and quantifiably solve the stubborn technical defect of linen shirt seam slippage during washing. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a production process for preventing slippage of seams in linen shirts during washing. The resulting shirts are not only soft, comfortable, cool and breathable, but can also withstand multiple washes without seam slippage or fraying.
[0007] The production process for the seam slippage of the linen-resistant shirt after washing according to the present invention includes the following steps in sequence: Lining bonding, sewing, washing, dehydration and drying, and buttoning; The lining bonding refers to bonding a loose lining or water-soluble lining to the collar, cuffs, and armholes of a linen shirt. The sewing process includes pre-treating the seams of the easily slipping cut pieces, adjusting the sewing equipment parameters, and sewing the entire shirt. After sewing, buttonholes are made but buttons are not sewn on. The water washing process includes soaping to remove impurities and a softening wash to prevent slippage. The dehydration and drying process includes dehydration, pre-drying, and cold air treatment; The fastening is performed after dehydration and drying.
[0008] The pretreatment in the sewing process refers to: applying three-line overlock, four-line overlock, adhesive mesh, or spraying anti-slip agent to the seams of easily slipping cut pieces.
[0009] The adjustment of sewing equipment parameters in the sewing process refers to: adjusting the top thread tension to 35-60g, the bottom thread tension to 20-35g, and the stitch density to 11-18 stitches / 3cm.
[0010] In the sewing process, the seam width at the joint is controlled between 1-1.5cm; the sleeve is attached using a double-needle overlock blind stitch with 0.5-1cm visible stitch, and the side seams and sleeve seams are joined using a double-needle overlock stitch.
[0011] The soaping process conditions for removing impurities in the water washing treatment are as follows: water washing temperature 30-45℃, time 5-15min, and soaping agent dosage 25-40g / L.
[0012] The anti-slip softening washing process conditions in the water washing treatment are as follows: use anti-slip agent Raycare SF-AS at a dosage of 15-25 g / L, non-silicone softener Raysoft CS-N at a dosage of 25-50 g / L; water washing temperature of 30-40℃, time of 15-20 min, and water washing machine speed of 10-15 rpm.
[0013] In the dehydration and drying steps, the pre-drying temperature is 40-50℃ and the time is 20-30 minutes; the cold air treatment time is 10-20 minutes.
[0014] The lining used is a removable lining or a water-soluble lining specially adapted to the properties of linen fabric.
[0015] In the sewing process, the width of the rolled bottom edge is 0.5-0.8cm.
[0016] The entire process combines the aforementioned lining bonding, sewing pretreatment, equipment parameter adjustment, specific washing processes, and post-finishing procedures to jointly achieve the goal of preventing slippage of the seams during the washing of linen shirts.
[0017] Specifically, the production process for the seam slippage during washing of the linen-resistant shirt includes the following steps: (1) Interlining bonding process: Select a suitable interlining or water-soluble interlining for the linen collar, cuffs, and sleeve guards for bonding. (2) Sewing process: ① Before sewing a linen shirt, for seams where the seams of the cut pieces are prone to slippage, first use three or four stitches to overlock the edges, or first glue a layer of low-temperature lining strip, or spray an anti-slip agent; ② Next, adjust the pressure and stitch density of the sewing equipment. The tension of the sewing top thread and bottom thread should be matched. The top thread tension should be 35-60g and the bottom thread tension should be 20-35g. The stitch density should be 11-18 stitches / 3cm. ③ Then sew the entire linen-proof shirt, with seam allowances between 1-1.5cm at the seams, and sew each part. For areas prone to slipping: use double-needle overlock blind stitching with 0.5-1cm topstitching for the sleeves, and use double-needle overlock stitching for the side seams and sleeve seams.
[0018] Double-layered shoulder seam, shoulder seam, collar seam, cuff seam, cuff seam allowance 1-1.5cm, bottom hem width 0.5-0.8cm.
[0019] After the linen shirt is sewn, buttonholes should be sewn on first, but buttons should not be sewn on, to avoid damage to the buttons during the washing process of the linen shirt.
[0020] (3) Method for making the ironing process: ① Soap washing removes impurities. Linen shirts are cleaned with soap to remove impurities and prevent the itching sensation associated with wearing linen shirts. The soap washing process involves washing at a water temperature of 30-45℃ for 5-15 minutes, using WO soap at a dosage of 25-40g / L. ② The optimal anti-slip softening wash process: anti-slip agent RaycareSF-AS, dosage 15-25g / L; non-silicone softener RaysoftCS-N, dosage 25-50g / L; water washing temperature 30-40℃; time: 15-20min; washing machine speed 10-15 rpm.
[0021] (4) The dehydration and drying process includes: ① Linen shirts are spun dry after washing; ② Pre-dry the linen shirt for 20-30 minutes at a temperature of 40-50℃; ③ Dry with cold air for 10-20 minutes to ensure the linen shirt feels smooth.
[0022] (5) Finally, sew the buttons onto the linen shirt to prevent the buttons from being damaged during the washing and drying process.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) This invention does not employ a single technical means, but rather coordinates and controls multiple aspects such as materials (lining), pre-sewing treatment (overlocking / mesh / anti-slip agent), sewing parameters (tension / needle density), sewing process (special overlocking), post-finishing (anti-slip washing, low-temperature drying) and even production process (post-buttoning), forming a complete and efficient solution that fundamentally curbs the occurrence of seam slippage.
[0024] (2) Through the combined effect of the above-mentioned multiple steps, the present invention greatly enhances the firmness of the seam, so that the linen shirt can still maintain a smooth seam, without slipping or fraying even after multiple washes, significantly improving the quality and lifespan of the product.
[0025] (3) While solving the slippage problem, this invention perfectly preserves the excellent properties of linen fabric itself—softness, comfort, and breathability—by using water-soluble lining, precise softening finishing, and cold air treatment processes, thus achieving a unity of functionality and comfort.
[0026] (4) The present invention innovatively adjusts the "button sewing" process to after washing and drying, which effectively avoids wear and collision damage that may be caused to the buttons during high-speed washing and drying, and reduces the defect rate. Detailed Implementation
