Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of textile technology, specifically to a weaving process for a simulated woven weft-knitted fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Woven fabrics, as an important member of the textile industry, occupy an indispensable position in many fields due to their unique structure and superior performance. Structurally, woven fabrics are made of two or more sets of yarns, namely warp and weft yarns, interwoven at right angles. This interlacing method gives them structural stability and resistance to deformation. Their clear textures, whether simple plain weaves or dynamic twill weaves, add a unique aesthetic to the fabric, making it more textured and layered in appearance. At the same time, woven fabrics also possess high strength, able to withstand a certain degree of stretching and friction, and are not easily damaged, making them excellent in terms of durability. In the clothing industry, woven fabrics are widely used. From formal business suits to elegant dresses, and casual shirts and trousers, woven fabrics, with their crisp texture and good shaping ability, can give clothing a refined shape and unique style, meeting people's dressing needs for different occasions. However, woven fabrics lack elasticity and cannot stretch freely with body movements, resulting in a noticeable feeling of restriction at the joints. This restriction not only affects the comfort of wearing the garment but also limits the range of motion, making people feel uncomfortable when moving.

[0003] Weft-knitted fabrics are made by bending one or more yarns into loops along the weft direction, and then interlocking these loops. This unique structure gives weft-knitted fabrics a soft and elastic quality, allowing them to perfectly conform to the body's curves. Whether engaging in daily activities or high-intensity exercise, the body can move freely and comfortably without any feeling of restriction. Currently, neither woven nor weft-knitted fabrics on the market can fully meet these comprehensive consumer needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a weaving process for woven-look weft-knitted fabrics, which solves the problem that existing weft-knitted fabrics cannot present the appearance of woven fabrics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the inventor provides a knitting process for woven weft-knitted fabrics, using a single-needle-bed weft knitting machine. This process includes several adjacent tuck rows and loop rows arranged cyclically along the weave direction. In the tuck rows, the needle hooks the first yarn and performs at least one empty stitch and a tuck loop cycle. During the tuck loop process, the first yarn remains inside the needle hook. In the loop rows, the needle hooks the second yarn and performs a loop formation at the corresponding tuck position. The first and second yarns are both hooked on the needle hook and unhooked together to form a tuck loop and a loop formation loop, respectively. The tuck loop and loop formation loop overlap to form a protrusion. The needle hooks the first yarn and performs an empty stitch to form a concave shape between adjacent protrusions. The tuck position of the next tuck row is offset from the tuck position of the previous tuck row, so that adjacent tuck rows form continuous protrusions.

[0006] Furthermore, the weft-knitted fabric is composed of several adjacent tucked rows and looped rows arranged cyclically along the weave direction; the tucked position of the next tucked row is offset from the tucked position of the previous tucked row, so that adjacent tucked rows form continuous protrusions.

[0007] Furthermore, the knitting needles of the tucked loop knitting row perform a cyclic action of two empty needles and one tucked loop.

[0008] Furthermore, the weft-knitted fabric is composed of six rows arranged in a cycle; wherein, the first row, the third row, and the fifth row are tuck rows; the needles of the first row perform a cycle of empty needle, empty needle, and tuck; the needles of the third row perform a cycle of empty needle, tuck, and empty needle; and the needles of the fifth row perform a cycle of tuck, empty needle, and empty needle.

[0009] Furthermore, the knitting needles of the tucked loop knitting row perform a cyclic action of one empty needle and one tucked loop.

[0010] Furthermore, the weft-knitted fabric consists of four rows arranged in a cycle; wherein, the first row and the third row are tuck rows; the needles of the first row perform a cycle of tuck and empty stitches; the needles of the third row perform a cycle of empty stitches and tuck.

[0011] Furthermore, the loop weave is a plain weave structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the first yarn comprises cotton yarn.

[0013] Furthermore, the second yarn comprises a high-elastic yarn.

[0014] Furthermore, the high-elastic yarn includes mechanically textured yarn, wherein the take-up shrinkage rate of the mechanically textured yarn is ≥30%.

[0015] Furthermore, the high-elastic yarn also includes inherently elastic yarn.

[0016] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution creates a double-layer structure in appearance between the tucked loop and the looped knitting. The looped knitting forms the inner layer, while the tucked loop forms the outer layer. In the outer layer, the tucked loops of the tucked loop and the corresponding looped loops of the looped knitting overlap to form a protrusion, while the empty needle area between adjacent protrusions forms a concave shape due to the lack of loop support. Through the continuous formation of protrusions and concavities, as well as the protrusions of adjacent tucked loops, a clearer imitation woven pattern is created. This results in a clear, flat pattern and stable shape characteristic of woven fabrics, while retaining the inherent elasticity of weft-knitted fabrics, thus meeting diverse consumer needs.

[0032] A weaving process for a simulated woven weft-knitted fabric involves knitting at least two adjacent tuck rows and loop rows on a single-needle bed weft knitting machine. The tuck loops are attached to the corresponding loops of the loop rows, creating a stable connection and resulting in a double-layered structure. On the surface of the tuck rows, the overlapping loops of the tuck loops and the corresponding loops of the loop rows form a raised area, while the empty needle areas between adjacent raised areas are concave due to the lack of loop support. The continuous raised and concave areas, along with the raised areas of adjacent tuck rows, create a clearer simulated woven pattern. This process achieves the clear, flat pattern and stable shape of woven fabrics while retaining the inherent elasticity of weft-knitted fabrics, meeting diverse consumer needs.

[0033] The following combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 This paper presents an implementation method for a weaving process of a woven weft-knitted fabric, using a single-needle bed weft knitting machine. The process includes several adjacent tuck rows and loop rows arranged cyclically along the weave direction. In the tuck rows, the needle hooks the first yarn and performs at least one empty stitch and a tuck loop cycle. During the tuck loop process, the first yarn remains inside the needle hook. In the loop rows, the needle hooks the second yarn at the corresponding tuck loop position and performs a loop forming action. The first and second yarns are both hooked on the needle hook and unhooked together to form a tuck loop and a loop forming, respectively. The tuck loop and loop forming loop overlap to form a protrusion. The needle hooks the first yarn and performs an empty stitch to form a concave shape between adjacent protrusions. The tuck position of the next tuck row is offset from the tuck position of the previous tuck row, so that adjacent tuck rows form continuous protrusions.

[0034] In the aforementioned tucked loop knitting, an empty needle refers to a state where the needle only moves up and down but does not hook the first yarn and does not form a loop, creating a floating yarn state. The tucked loop knitting refers to the process where, during the hooking of the first yarn to form a loop, the arc formed by the first yarn does not completely unhook, leaving it within the needle hook. When the second yarn is introduced into the loop knitting, it is hooked on the needle hook along with the first yarn. At this time, the needle latch remains closed, firmly "locking" the first and second yarns within the needle hook to prevent them from falling off during subsequent movements. The needle descends along with the first and second yarns within the needle hook. During this process, the second yarn is pulled into a relaxed arc and closely adheres to the arc of the first yarn, forming the basic shape of an "overlapping loop." When the yarn is fed into the next loop of the knitting row, the needle will normally unlatch the loop, hook the new yarn, and remove the arc formed by the first and second yarns in the previous needle hook as a whole from the needle hook; at this time, the loop formed by the first yarn is attached to the loop formed by the second yarn, and the two overlap to form a raised effect.

[0035] It is important to note that the terms "first yarn" and "second yarn" are used only to clearly distinguish the yarns used in tucked and looped weaves, and do not imply that they have completely different functions, attributes, or quantities. In other words, the first and second yarns can be the same yarn with identical properties such as material, thickness, and color, or they can be yarns with slightly different properties depending on the fabric design requirements. The naming itself does not imply any limitation on the function, attributes, or quantity of the yarns; it is merely to more clearly correspond to the yarns used in tucked and looped weaves when describing the fabric weaving structure, thus avoiding confusion in the description.

[0036] The tuck loop position of the next tuck loop is offset from that of the previous tuck loop to create a continuous bulge between adjacent tuck loops. To achieve a clear, flat, and continuous bulge and a stable fabric shape, the next tuck loop needs to have a precisely set number of offset stitches (usually 1-2 stitches, adjusted according to the pattern density) along the direction of the weave. This ensures that the bulge formed by the tuck loop position of the subsequent tuck loop connects with the bulge formed by the tuck loop position of the previous tuck loop. This offset design allows the bulges of each tuck loop to extend continuously along the diagonal or weave direction, preventing breakage or displacement of the bulges. Simultaneously, the basic skeletal structure of the looped weave balances the tension differences caused by the tuck loops, preventing the fabric from wrinkling or deforming. Ultimately, this results in a woven-like fabric structure with a clear texture, flat surface, continuous pattern, and stable overall shape.

[0037] During the knitting process of tuck stitches, the number of consecutive empty needles affects the spacing of the raised areas. Therefore, in practical applications, the number of empty needles can be flexibly adjusted according to the density requirements of the target woven pattern, such as one empty needle per tuck stitch, two empty needles per tuck stitch, three empty needles per tuck stitch, etc. To create a high-density pattern (compact texture, small raised area), the number of empty needles can be reduced, allowing the knitting needles of the tuck stitch to perform a cycle of one empty needle per tuck stitch or two empty needles per tuck stitch, thus reducing the lateral spacing between adjacent tuck stitches. To create a low-density pattern (spread-out texture, large raised area), the number of empty needles can be increased, allowing the knitting needles of the tuck stitch to perform a cycle of three empty needles per tuck stitch, four empty needles per tuck stitch, or even more empty needles, thus expanding the lateral spacing between adjacent tuck stitches. This design, which adjusts the density by the number of empty needles, ensures the regularity of the tuck stitch distribution, laying the foundation for the subsequent formation of continuous raised areas, while also providing ample space for density adjustment to adapt to the texture requirements of different scenarios.

[0038] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, taking the tuck knitting row as an example of performing a two-needle-one-tuck cycle, the weft-knitted fabric is composed of six rows arranged in a cycle to form a continuous raised pattern between adjacent tuck knitting rows; wherein, the first row, the third row, and the fifth row are tuck knitting rows; the knitting needles of the first row perform a cycle of empty needle, empty needle, and tuck; the knitting needles of the third row perform a cycle of empty needle, tuck, and empty needle; and the knitting needles of the fifth row perform a cycle of tuck, empty needle, and empty needle.

[0039] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, taking the knitting needles of the tucked knitting row performing a cycle of one empty needle and one tucked loop as an example, the weft-knitted fabric is composed of four knitting rows arranged in a cycle to make adjacent tucked knitting rows form continuous ridges; wherein, the first knitting row and the third knitting row are tucked knitting rows; the knitting needles of the first knitting row perform a cycle of tucked loop and empty needle; the knitting needles of the third knitting row perform a cycle of empty needle and tucked loop.

[0040] In the aforementioned weft-knitted fabrics that alternate between tucked and looped knitting, the looped knitting rows form the inner layer of the weft-knitted fabric. To ensure a smooth weft-knitted fabric with a low coefficient of dynamic friction, making it easier to wear, the looped knitting rows are preferably plain weave. The uniform and continuous distribution of plain weave loops forms a flat, smooth, and uniformly textured base in the inner layer of the weft-knitted fabric. This not only provides the fabric with excellent fit and comfort but, more importantly, acts as a structural "anchor point," stably and reliably holding and tightening the overhangs generated by the tucked knitting rows, ensuring the stability of the pattern. Secondly, this dense and regular loop structure effectively enhances the local longitudinal and transverse strength and abrasion resistance of the fabric, compensating for the relative fragility of the tucked knitting area. Furthermore, the excellent elasticity and extensibility inherent in the plain weave structure also balance, to some extent, the decrease in transverse extensibility caused by the presence of long floats, ensuring that the fabric maintains a rich, fluffy feel and good warmth retention without becoming too stiff, maintaining the necessary fit and freedom of movement.

[0041] The first yarn may include cotton yarn, meaning that in tuck stitch weaving, the knitting needle hooks the cotton yarn to perform at least one empty stitch and a tuck stitch cycle. Cotton yarn possesses moderate strength and elastic recovery, and its own toughness stabilizes the loop shape when forming "overlapping loops," preventing the protrusions from collapsing due to excessive softness or becoming too stiff, resulting in fuller, clearer fabric protrusions that are less prone to deformation over long-term use. Its natural softness neutralizes the stiffness of the tuck stitch protrusions, maintaining a delicate, skin-friendly texture even with a three-dimensional fabric surface. Furthermore, cotton yarn has uniform dye absorption and high colorfastness, ensuring that the tuck stitch protrusions are not prone to fading, allowing the imitation woven pattern to maintain a clear color over time. Its natural matte texture further enhances the natural and rustic feel of the protrusions, effectively improving the overall quality of the fabric. Preferably, the cotton yarn is Z-twist, with a twist of 750T / M-850T / M. Z-twist (left-hand twist) cotton yarn has a tighter structure. When the knitting needle does not completely unwind and overlaps the loops, it can enhance the yarn cohesion and prevent the yarn from becoming loose and causing messy protrusions. At the same time, it can improve the anti-pilling and anti-fuzzing properties of the gathered area and extend the fabric's lifespan. The twist range of 750T / M-850T / M is a medium to high twist, which ensures that the cotton yarn has sufficient strength and rigidity to support the full and three-dimensional protrusions, preventing the loops from deforming and collapsing due to too low twist, while also preventing the yarn from becoming stiff due to too high twist.

[0042] The second yarn may include high-elastic yarn, which is used in loop knitting where the knitting needle hooks the high-elastic yarn at the corresponding loop position to perform the loop-forming action. The excellent elastic recovery of the high-elastic yarn can build a stable and resilient fabric base skeleton, effectively balancing the local tension differences caused by the loop protrusions, avoiding wrinkles, deformation, or edge curling of the fabric due to uneven stress, and ensuring the smoothness and shape stability of the fabric; its good tensile rebound ability can also give the fabric moderate elasticity, improving the fit and freedom of movement when wearing or using it, while enhancing the fabric's wrinkle resistance and durability, and reducing wrinkles in daily use; in addition, the structural characteristics of the high-elastic yarn can form a flexible support with the loop protrusions of the cotton yarn, which does not destroy the three-dimensional texture of the imitation woven pattern, and optimizes the fabric's feel through elastic cushioning, avoiding the overall comfort caused by an overly stiff base layer, thus achieving an organic combination of stable fabric structure, practical function, and superior texture.

[0043] The aforementioned high-elastic yarn can include yarn elasticity imparted through mechanical texturing processes, that is, using mechanical devices to stretch, twist, and shape the raw yarn (such as polyester, nylon, and other non-elastic or low-elastic yarns) to form a stable crimp or spiral structure inside the yarn, thereby obtaining elastic mechanically texturized yarn (derived from the physical morphological changes of the yarn, rather than the inherent elasticity of the fiber itself), or it can include inherently elastic yarn with the inherent elasticity of the fiber itself (such as the chemical elasticity of spandex).

[0044] In some embodiments, the high-elastic yarn is a mechanically textured yarn with a take-up shrinkage rate ≥30%, which allows it to generate sufficient shrinkage force after being knitted into loops, closely adhering to the basic structure of the fabric, effectively tightening the raised periphery area formed by the tucked knitting, preventing the fabric from loosening or arching due to uneven tension, and further enhancing the fabric's smoothness and shape stability. In some embodiments, the mechanically textured yarn is formed from 50% PBT and 50% polyester through composite spinning and stretching deformation processes, and the high-elastic yarn is a lightweight mesh type, with the twisting method being alternating or combined "S twist" and "Z twist".

[0045] In some embodiments, the high-elastic yarn includes mechanically texturized yarn and inherently elastic yarn. That is, in the loop-forming knitting row, the knitting needles perform loop-forming actions at the positions where the high-elastic yarn and spandex are corresponding tuck stitches. The large crimp characteristic of the mechanical texturized yarn itself can form a fluffy base by means of the natural relaxation of the crimp shape during knitting, making the loop-forming knitting row have a certain fluffiness and structural gap by itself; while the excellent elasticity of spandex can moderately stretch and restrain the crimp structure of the mechanical texturized yarn during knitting. On the one hand, it makes the crimp shape of the mechanical texturized yarn more regularly distributed in the loop-forming structure, avoiding unevenness of the fabric surface caused by crimp disorder. On the other hand, the elastic contraction force of spandex will pull the crimp structure of the mechanical texturized yarn to closely fit, making the fluffy base more firm and shaped, and not loose due to excessive fluffiness; this combination of "large crimp fluffiness + high-elastic firmness" not only retains the fluffy texture brought by the mechanical texturized yarn, but also realizes the tightness of the fabric surface through the elastic constraint of spandex. At the same time, it makes the basic layer formed by the loop-forming knitting row have more elastic support, can better adapt to the convex structure of the tuck stitch row, making the overall fabric surface both tight and stiff, and also having a fluffy and soft touch, and can also improve the anti-deformation ability and durability of the fabric.
