Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of functional textile products, in particular to a composite functional sock with foot health care and physical support functions, and especially to an acupoint health care functional sock based on graphene colloid and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing pursuit of healthy life, health-care textiles have attracted widespread attention. The feet are distributed with numerous acupoints, and stimulating these acupoints can achieve the health care effect of regulating body functions and relieving fatigue. In the prior art, there are products that fix traditional Chinese medicine bags, magnet stones, etc. on the sock bottom to stimulate acupoints, but there are problems such as single function, poor fixation, poor body feeling, and poor washing resistance. At the same time, in view of foot arch fatigue, the common method is to provide support through insoles, but the cooperation of insoles and socks often brings discomfort. Graphene is applied to textiles due to its excellent far infrared emission performance, but how to stably, durably and accurately apply it to the local part of the sock and organically combine it with the structure of the sock to provide composite health care functions is still a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an acupoint health care functional sock based on graphene colloid and a preparation method thereof. The functional sock combines far infrared materials with foot structure support design, and through a specific preparation process, realizes the accurate and firm application of functional colloid at the acupoints of the sock bottom, and provides durable and comfortable acupoint health care and foot arch decompression double functions.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is a preparation method of an acupoint health care functional sock based on graphene colloid, comprising the following steps: S1, functional colloid preparation: S1.1, premixing: dry premixing graphene powder and high molecular powder at a mass ratio of 1.2:1 to obtain premix powder; S1.2, gradient dispersion gel preparation: adding the premix powder into a high molecular solution with a concentration of 8%-12%, and dispersing by using a stepwise gradient stirring; first, wetting by stirring at a low speed of 500-800 rpm for 3-8 minutes, then dispersing by stirring at a medium speed of 1500-2500 rpm for 5-15 minutes, and finally high-speed shearing at a speed of 4000-8000 rpm for 2-5 minutes to form a preliminary mixed colloid; the high molecular powder is PU or PVDF; S1.3, vacuum curing: placing the preliminary mixed colloid in an environment with a vacuum degree not less than-0.06 MPa for debubbling, and standing for curing at 25-35℃ for 1-4 hours to obtain a uniform and stable functional colloid; S2, Sock Body Weaving: The sock body is formed by knitting with a knitting machine, and in the arch area of ​​the sock body, a knitted structure with enhanced support is formed by varying the loop density and / or by using elastic yarn interlacing. S3. Colloid application: The functional colloid obtained in step S1 is applied to the inner insole of the sock obtained in step S2 in the form of dots or sheets through dispensing or printing processes, corresponding to the acupoints on the sole of the foot. S4. Curing and shaping: The socks to which the functional colloid has been applied are subjected to heat curing or ultraviolet light curing treatment to make the functional colloid firmly adhere to the socks.

[0005] Preferably, in step S1.1, before the dry premixing, a step of surface modification of the graphene powder is further included: atomizing and spraying 0.5%-3% by weight of a silane coupling agent onto the graphene powder and mixing it. This step can effectively improve the dispersibility of graphene.

[0006] A type of acupoint health care sock based on graphene colloid, prepared by the above-described method, comprises: a sock body, wherein the arch region of the sock body has a reinforced support knitted structure formed by varying the coil density and / or by interlacing elastic yarns; and a functional colloid layer fixed to the inner sole of the sock body corresponding to acupoints on the sole of the foot; the functional colloid layer is formed by dispersing graphene powder and polymer powder at a mass ratio of 1.2:1 in a polymer solution with a concentration of 8%-12%, wherein the polymer is PU or PVDF.

[0007] Preferably, the reinforcing knitted structure is a double-sided jacquard structure based on rib knitting variations or a warp-knitted weft-inserted structure.

[0008] Preferably, the functional colloidal layer exists in the form of multiple independent dot-like bodies or continuous sheet-like bodies.

[0009] More preferably, the diameter of the dot-like body is 3-8 mm, the center-to-center distance between adjacent dot-like bodies is 10-20 mm, and the area of ​​the sheet-like body is 1.5-3 cm².

[0010] Preferably, the position of the inner insole of the sock corresponding to the acupoints on the sole of the foot includes the Yongquan acupoint area and / or the Taichong acupoint area.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention organically combines the far-infrared acupoint health care function of graphene colloid with the physical support and pressure relief function of a specific knitted structure in the arch area of ​​the foot, achieving a combined health care effect of "internal nourishment and external protection".

[0012] 2. By employing a synergistic colloidal preparation process involving dry premixing, gradient dispersion, and vacuum curing, the problems of graphene's tendency to agglomerate, uneven dispersion, and poor stability in localized applications are solved. The resulting colloid is uniform and stable, facilitating subsequent precision processing. This process ensures the strong bond and washability of the colloid to the sock body.

[0013] 3. The colloid is precisely applied to key acupoints on the sole of the foot (such as Yongquan and Taichong acupoints) in a specific form (dots / sheets) through dispensing or printing processes, providing direct stimulation. The dotted or sheet-like design ensures both contact area and breathability, enhancing wearing comfort.

[0014] 4. The reinforced support knitted structure in the arch area provides flexible and dynamic support for the arch of the foot without adding extra rigid materials, effectively relieving foot fatigue through changes in the structure and / or the use of elastic yarns. Detailed Implementation
