TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fabric, in particular to a method for shaking granulated fabric. BACKGROUND
[0002] Shaking granulated fabric is a kind of knitted fabric, which is knitted in a small coin knitted structure on a circular knitting machine. After being knitted, the fabric is dyed first, and then subjected to a variety of complex finishing processes such as raising, carding, shearing and shaking. The front side of the fabric is raised, and the shaking granulated fabric is dense and fluffy. The back side is sparse and uniform, with short pile, clear texture and good elasticity.
[0003] For example, WO2019006963A1 discloses a method for producing shaking granulated fabric and double-sided fabric imitating super-soft fabric. The raw material of the front shaking granulated fabric layer is 150D / 144F polyester filament, the raw material of the middle base fabric layer is 100D / 36F polyester filament, and the raw material of the back imitating super-soft fabric layer is 75D / 144F FDY polyester semi-lustrous filament after steaming. The middle base fabric layer firmly connects the front and back sides together. The three materials cooperate with each other to make the pile on the front and back sides dense and full. The use of 75D / 144F FDY polyester semi-lustrous filament after steaming on the back side can make the imitating super-soft fabric soft, delicate, warm, smooth and high in gloss, and finally form the imitating super-soft effect under the light pressing process.
[0004] CN111321503A discloses a method for preparing shaking granulated fabric composite fabric and shaking granulated fabric composite fabric. The method comprises the steps of: warping, warping a plurality of yarns onto 2-3 warp beams, each warp beam containing at least 4000 yarns, the yarns being chemical fiber filaments, and the thickest yarn being 75D; weaving, weaving the warped yarns on a weaving machine through heddle and guide, wherein the weaving machine is corresponding to the warping machine, the weft yarns and the base weft yarns are interwoven and beaten to form a gray fabric, wherein the base weft yarns and the warp yarns form a ground fabric, and the weft yarns and the warp yarns are interwoven to form loops; cutting, cutting the gray fabric with a cutting device to separate the floating long lines of the weft yarns to form single short pile; and finishing, finishing the cut gray fabric to obtain the shaking granulated fabric composite fabric.
[0005] However, during the ring drying process, i.e. shaking granulation, it is inevitable to produce a knot phenomenon (more steam is needed for wet processing or more knots are prone to occur), which forms defects. Even if the knotted fabric is removed and processed again, the efficiency is reduced. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present application aims to provide a method for shaking granulated fabric, so as to solve the defects of fabric knotting during the ring drying process, i.e. shaking granulation, resulting in defects in the fabric and low production efficiency.

[0010] The shaking process includes: sequential hot steam treatment and cold air treatment;
[0011] The steam hot air treatment includes alternating steam treatment and hot air treatment;
[0012] The steam hot air treatment is performed at least 6 times.
[0013] The pelletizing method provided by this invention, through optimized design of the pelletizing process, employs multiple alternating steam treatment, hot air treatment, and cold air treatment, which can significantly reduce fabric caking during pelletizing while achieving good pelletizing effect.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail. However, the examples described below are merely simplified examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims. Detailed Implementation
[0032] To better illustrate the present invention and facilitate understanding of its technical solutions, typical but non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0033] Fleece is a type of knitted fabric with a small rib knit structure, woven on a large circular knitting machine. After weaving, the greige fabric is first dyed, and then subjected to a variety of complex finishing processes such as napping, combing, shearing, and fleece spinning. The front of the fabric is napped, resulting in a fluffy and dense fleece, while the reverse side has a sparse and even nap with short and few fibers, resulting in a clear texture and excellent fluffiness and elasticity. Currently, during the ring drying (i.e., fleece spinning) process, tucking inevitably occurs (more likely when the fabric is wet or when a large amount of steam is sprayed), forming defects. Even if the tucking is straightened midway through processing, it will slightly improve the situation, but it will still reduce efficiency.
