Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gravity blanket technology, specifically to a gravity blanket with integrated knitted and woven counterweight. Background Technology
[0002] Gravity blankets are functional bedding products that simulate the feeling of a human embrace by applying even and gentle deep contact pressure. Their core function is to help relieve anxiety and improve sleep quality. They are suitable for people with insomnia, office workers under high pressure, and special groups who need to soothe their emotions. These products rely on the principle of deep contact pressure and achieve pressure transmission through a counterweight structure, taking into account both comfort and functionality. In recent years, they have been widely promoted and applied in the field of healthy home furnishings, and market demand continues to grow, with higher requirements being placed on the safety, durability, and user experience of the products.
[0003] Currently, most gravity blankets on the market use granular weights such as steel balls and glass beads as filling for counterweights. These weights are placed in separate bags and then sewn to the blanket fabric. This structure has obvious drawbacks: First, during long-term use, the seams are prone to wear and cracking, causing the weights to fall off, which not only affects the performance but also poses a safety hazard of accidental ingestion. Second, the granule filling process is complicated, requiring granule screening, bagging, positioning, and multiple sewing processes, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gravity blanket with integrated knitted and woven weights to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a gravity blanket with integrated knitted and woven counterweight, comprising a gravity blanket body;
[0006] The main body of the gravity blanket consists of a skin-friendly surface layer, a counterweight woven layer, and a breathable bottom layer from top to bottom. The skin-friendly surface layer, the counterweight woven layer, and the breathable bottom layer are formed in one piece using a needle and shuttle integrated knitting process, without any additional splicing or sewing structures.
[0007] Preferably, the skin-friendly surface layer is woven from bamboo fiber yarn, which balances skin-friendliness and thinness, and avoids an excessively thick surface layer that would affect the fit.
[0008] Preferably, the counterweight weave layer is made of a mixture of heavy fibers and conventional textile yarns, which is used to ensure that the counterweight structure is tightly bonded to the blanket fabric without any loose gaps.
[0009] Preferably, the heavy fiber is selected from metal fibers or high-density polyester heavy yarn.
[0010] Preferably, the breathable bottom layer is made of breathable knitted fabric to reduce the overall heaviness and ensure breathability, and the surface has a mesh-like breathable structure.
[0011] Preferably, the main body of the gravity blanket is a rectangular sheet structure, and the edges are sewn using an edge-sealing process.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] This integrated knitted and woven counterweight blanket mixes heavy fibers with conventional textile yarns and uses an integrated knitted and woven weaving process to directly weave the counterweight structure into the blanket fabric. This eliminates the need for additional filling with steel balls or other granular counterweights, fundamentally eliminating the safety hazard of counterweights falling off and making it safer and more reliable. It also simplifies the production process, reduces multiple assembly steps, lowers raw material procurement and production costs, while ensuring uniform counterweight distribution and improving the blanket's softness and fit.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a gravity blanket with integrated knitted and woven counterweight, comprising a gravity blanket body 1;
[0020] The main body 1 of the gravity blanket includes, from top to bottom, a skin-friendly surface layer 101, a counterweight woven layer 102, and a breathable bottom layer 103. The skin-friendly surface layer 101, the counterweight woven layer 102, and the breathable bottom layer 103 are formed in one piece by a needle and shuttle knitting process without any additional splicing or sewing structure.
[0021] Specifically, by embedding heavy fibers in an integrated weave to replace traditional granular counterweights, the safety hazard of counterweight particles falling off is fundamentally eliminated, avoiding the risk of accidental ingestion and making it safer and more reliable to use.
[0022] Specifically, the integrated needle and shuttle weaving process is used for one-time molding, eliminating the need for complex processes such as particle screening, bagging, and multiple sewing, which significantly improves production efficiency and reduces assembly costs.
[0023] Specifically, heavy-duty fibers are evenly mixed and woven with regular yarns, so that the weight is evenly distributed on the blanket, avoiding the problem of uneven weight distribution caused by the accumulation of particles in traditional weightless blankets, and improving the comfort of use.
[0024] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 The skin-friendly surface layer 101 is made of pure cotton or bamboo fiber yarn.
[0025] Specifically, the thickness of the skin-friendly surface layer 101 is 0.8-1.2cm. The skin-friendly surface layer 101 takes into account both skin-friendliness and thinness, and avoids the surface layer being too thick, which would affect the fit.
[0026] exist Figure 1 In the middle: the counterweight braided layer 102 is made of heavy fibers and conventional textile yarns mixed together, and the heavy fibers are selected from metal fibers or high-density polyester heavy yarns.
[0027] Specifically, the thickness of the counterweight woven layer 102 is 3-5cm. Heavy fibers are mixed with conventional textile yarns in a certain proportion and woven evenly through a needle-and-shuttle composite process, so that the counterweight structure is tightly bonded to the blanket fabric without any loose gaps.
[0028] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the middle: the breathable bottom layer 103 is made of breathable knitted fabric, and the surface has a mesh or honeycomb breathable structure.
[0029] Specifically, the thickness of the breathable bottom layer 103 is 0.5-0.8cm. The breathable bottom layer 103 is thin and breathable, reducing the overall heaviness while ensuring breathability.
[0030] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the middle: The main body 1 of the gravity blanket is a rectangular sheet structure with the edges sewn together using a binding process.
[0031] Specifically, the edges are finished with a binding process, resulting in a smooth and even stitching that prevents wear and tear on the corners and is soft and resistant to deformation.
[0032] This integrated knitted and woven counterweight blanket uses a knitted and woven integrated process to form the skin-friendly surface layer 101, the counterweight woven layer 102 and the breathable bottom layer 103 in one piece, without the need for additional filling of steel balls or other granular counterweight blocks.
[0033] The heavy fibers in the counterweight weave layer 102 are mixed and woven with regular yarns, so that the weight is evenly distributed inside the blanket. When the blanket covers the human body, it simulates the feeling of being hugged by the human body through the principle of deep contact pressure, stimulates the skin pressure receptors, regulates the nervous system, thereby relieving anxiety and improving sleep quality.
[0034] The three-layer structure is molded in one piece without separate compartments or sewn structures, which avoids the problem of counterweight particles falling off due to wear and tear at the seams of traditional gravity blankets. At the same time, the heavy fibers and yarns are tightly woven to ensure that the counterweight structure is stable and without any loose gaps.
[0035] The skin-friendly top layer 101 is woven from pure cotton or bamboo fiber yarn, which is delicate and skin-friendly, improving the comfort of touch. The breathable bottom layer 103 is made of breathable knitted fabric, which forms an air circulation channel to avoid stuffiness during use and improve the overall user experience.
[0036] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
