Abstract

This invention discloses a quick-drying fabric, comprising a fabric body including several alternating hydrophilic and water-repellent zones. The inner surfaces of every two adjacent water-repellent zones form a protruding channel relative to the hydrophilic zone. Each hydrophilic zone includes a base warp yarn, a base weft yarn, a first additional warp yarn, and a first additional weft yarn. The base warp yarn and base weft yarn are interwoven, with the first additional warp yarn or first additional weft yarn added at the corresponding interlacing points of the base warp yarn and the base weft yarn. Each water-repellent zone includes interwoven base warp yarn and a second weft yarn. The base warp yarn and base weft yarn are both polyester yarn, the first additional warp yarn and first additional weft yarn are both soluble yarns, and the second weft yarn is polypropylene yarn. Several through-holes are formed in each hydrophilic zone through the soluble yarn. This ensures the dryness of the fabric body and effectively prevents the accumulation of sweat between the skin and the fabric. This invention also provides a method for manufacturing the quick-drying fabric.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing technology, and more specifically to a quick-drying fabric and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing athletic shorts generally use lightweight, quick-drying fabrics (such as polyester and nylon) and partial mesh designs to improve breathability and quick-drying properties. However, in actual use, especially during high-intensity exercise or in hot environments, athletes sweat significantly, and existing athletic shorts still have the following problems.

[0003] Excessive sweating and stickiness occur when athletes sweat heavily during exercise. When the rate of sweat production exceeds the rate of evaporation after the fabric absorbs moisture, sweat accumulates between the skin and the fabric. This is especially true for lightweight nylon fabrics, which have high fabric density and small gaps between yarns or fibers. When nylon fibers absorb moisture, they swell, further reducing the gaps between fibers and lowering the wet breathability to near zero, forming a dense water film. During exercise, the airflow creates negative pressure between the skin and clothing, causing soaked shorts to cling tightly to the skin, resulting in a strong feeling of stuffiness and stickiness, causing discomfort.

[0004] In view of this, this application has conducted in-depth research on this basis, resulting in this case. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-drying fabric that keeps the skin dry and has good breathability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is: a quick-drying fabric, comprising a fabric body, the fabric body including a plurality of alternating hydrophilic and water-repellent zones, wherein the inner surface of each pair of adjacent water-repellent zones forms a protruding channel relative to the hydrophilic zone; each hydrophilic zone includes a base warp yarn, a base weft yarn, a first additional warp yarn, and a first additional weft yarn, the base warp yarn and the base weft yarn interlaced, and the first additional warp yarn or the first additional weft yarn is added to the base warp yarn at the corresponding interlacing point with the base weft yarn; each water-repellent zone includes interlaced base warp yarn and a second weft yarn; the base warp yarn and the base weft yarn are both polyester yarn, the first additional warp yarn and the first additional weft yarn are both soluble yarn, and the second weft yarn is polypropylene yarn; wherein, each hydrophilic zone forms a plurality of through-holes through the soluble yarn.

[0007] The width of each of the hydrophilic regions is smaller than the width of each of the hydrophobic regions.

[0008] The width ratio of the hydrophilic zone to the hydrophobic zone is 2:5.

[0009] Each of the water-repellent zones includes at least one water-repellent part, and the water-repellent parts in each of the water-repellent zones are arranged side by side.

[0010] Both the basic warp yarn and the basic weft yarn are 30D / 36F DTY polyester yarn, both the first added warp yarn and the first added weft yarn are 100D soluble yarn, and the second weft yarn is 75D polypropylene yarn.

[0011] The soluble yarn is either water-soluble or alkali-soluble.

[0012] A fabric weave includes a warp system and a weft system. The warp system is divided into 7 warp units, each of which includes 6 warp yarns. Each warp yarn is the base warp yarn and / or the first additional warp yarn. The weft system has 18 weft yarns, each of which is the base weft yarn, the first additional weft yarn, and / or the second weft yarn. The warp yarns and the weft yarns interweave according to a preset sinking and floating pattern to form a stable fabric structure.

[0013] Along the warp direction, in the first warp unit, the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polypropylene yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink; The interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn float; the interlacing pattern of the sixth column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is the same. The interlacing pattern of the third warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn float-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink; the interlacing pattern of the fifth warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is the same. The interlacing pattern of the fourth warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn floating - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking; Along the warp direction, in the second warp yarn unit, the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns is the same as the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns and the fifth column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns in the first warp yarn unit; the interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns is the same as the interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns and the sixth column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns in the first warp yarn unit. The interlacing pattern of the third warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink; The interlacing pattern of the fourth column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester filament sinks - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - soluble yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats - polyester yarn sinks - polyester yarn floats; The remaining warp units, which are not in the first group of warp units, have the same interlacing method as the second column of warp units.

[0014] Each group of warp yarn units corresponds sequentially to the first group of warp yarn units, the second group of warp yarn units to the seventh group of warp yarn units, and the 18 weft yarns correspond sequentially to the first, second to eighteenth weft yarns. The warp yarns in the second group of warp yarn units, the third group of warp yarn units to the seventh group of warp yarn units, and the sixth warp yarn in the first group of warp yarn units interweave with the first 11 weft yarns to form the protruding channel. The warp yarns in the second group of warp yarn units, the third group of warp yarn units to the seventh group of warp yarn units, and the sixth warp yarn in the first group of warp yarn units interweave with the last 6 weft yarns to form the groove channel.

[0015] A method for manufacturing a quick-drying fabric includes the following steps: Materials: The warp yarns include basic warp yarns and first additional warp yarns, and the weft yarns include basic weft yarns, first additional weft yarns, and second weft yarns. The basic warp yarns and the basic weft yarns are both made of 30D / 36F DTY polyester yarn, the first additional warp yarns and the first additional weft yarns are both made of 100D soluble yarn, and the second weft yarn is made of 75D polypropylene yarn. There are a total of 42 basic warp yarns and 18 basic weft yarns, first additional weft yarns, and second additional weft yarns.

[0016] Weaving: The basic warp yarns and the basic weft yarns interweave to form a basic structure, and the basic warp yarns and the second weft yarns interweave to form a sweat-wicking channel on the inner surface of the basic structure. The first additional warp yarns and the first additional weft yarns respectively form additional warp or additional weft points at designated interweaving points of the basic structure to form a grey fabric. Dyeing and finishing: After the woven fabric is dyed and finished, holes are created in the added warp and weft points on the fabric surface. Then, it is set to form the fabric.

[0017] The technical solution of this invention has the following beneficial effects: The arrangement of hydrophilic and water-repellent zones, with the water-repellent zone forming a protruding channel, allows each hydrophilic zone to form a groove relative to the water-repellent zone. During use, each water-repellent zone comes into contact with the human skin. The weft yarn of the water-repellent zone is made of polypropylene yarn. Due to the hydrophobic properties of polypropylene yarn, sweat can flow smoothly along the protruding channel to the side, ensuring the dryness of the water-repellent zone and preventing the fabric from sticking to the skin. Simultaneously, the alternating arrangement of hydrophilic and water-repellent zones also blocks the lateral diffusion of sweat, preventing regional sweat accumulation and stickiness. Furthermore, the hydrophilic zone, being hydrophilic, can diffuse sweat to the outer surface of the fabric through a wicking effect. Additionally, the porous structure formed by the dissolved soluble yarn in the hydrophilic zone allows sweat to diffuse and evaporate quickly, effectively preventing sweat accumulation between the skin and the fabric.

[0018] Furthermore, the width ratio of the hydrophilic zone to the water-repellent zone is set to 2:5, ensuring that the contact area between the water-repellent zone and the skin is large enough to guarantee sweat-wicking efficiency, while the porous structure of the hydrophilic zone provides ample space for evaporation. The two work together to achieve excellent quick-drying performance. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0025] A type of quick-drying fabric, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the fabric body 100 is used. For ease of description, the side in contact with human skin is referred to as the inner side, and the opposite side as the outer side. The fabric body 100 includes a plurality of alternating hydrophilic areas 2 and water-repellent areas 3. That is, each hydrophilic area 2 and each water-repellent area 3 is arranged sequentially along the width direction of the fabric body 100, i.e., a water-repellent area 3 is provided between each pair of adjacent hydrophilic areas 2. Among them, the inner side of each pair of adjacent water-repellent areas 3 forms a protruding channel 31 relative to the inner side of the hydrophilic area 2. Each protruding channel 31 All protruding channels 31 are arranged along the length of the fabric body 100, and both ends of each protruding channel 31 extend along the length of the fabric body 100 to the side of the fabric body 100. Furthermore, the inner surface of each hydrophilic area 2 forms a groove 21 opposite to the inner surface of the water-repellent area 3. Each groove 21 is arranged along the length of the fabric body 100, and preferably, both ends of each groove 21 extend to two opposite sides of the fabric body 100, meaning each groove 21 is a structure that penetrates the outside. The outer surface of the fabric body 100 is a flat surface.

[0026] The hydrophilic zones 2 described above have the same structure, so one of them will be used as an example for explanation. The hydrophilic zone 2 includes a base warp yarn, a base weft yarn, a first additional warp yarn, and a first additional weft yarn. The base warp yarn and the base weft yarn interweave to form the basic structure of the hydrophilic zone. Furthermore, the first additional warp yarn or the first additional weft yarn is added at the corresponding interweaving point of the base warp yarn and the base weft yarn. That is, the first additional warp yarn is added when the base warp yarn forms a warp weft point at the interweaving point of the base weft yarn, and the first additional weft yarn is added when the base warp yarn forms a weft weft point at the interweaving point of the base weft yarn, so as to form a porous structure in the subsequent dyeing and finishing process.

[0027] To elaborate, the first added warp yarn and the first added weft yarn are both made of soluble yarn. The soluble yarn is a commercially available soluble yarn, such as water-soluble yarn or alkali-soluble yarn. Preferably, both the first added warp yarn and the first added weft yarn are 100D soluble yarn. In this embodiment, alkali-soluble yarn is used as an example for explanation. In this way, during the weaving process, the first added warp yarn or the first added weft yarn together with the base yarn to form the fabric structure. After the subsequent alkali treatment, the soluble yarn is dissolved and removed, that is, leaving through holes 4 at the original interlacing point. These holes 4 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the hydrophilic area 2 to form a continuous breathable and moisture-wicking channel.

[0028] The structures of the aforementioned water-repellent zones 3 are identical; therefore, one water-repellent zone 3 will be used as an example for explanation. The water-repellent zone 3 includes interwoven basic warp yarns and second weft yarns. The basic warp yarns of the water-repellent zone 3 and the basic warp yarns of the hydrophilic zone 2 are made of the same material, both being polyester yarn, preferably 30D / 36F DTY polyester yarn. The basic weft yarn of the hydrophilic zone 2 is also polyester yarn, preferably 30D / 36F DTY polyester yarn. The second weft yarn is polypropylene yarn, preferably 75D polypropylene yarn. It should be noted that the yarn specifications described above can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not limited to the above specifications. Furthermore, the materials of the basic warp and basic weft yarns can also be adjusted according to requirements; the above materials are only the optimal options for this embodiment.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, each of the aforementioned water-repellent zones 3 includes at least one water-repellent portion 32. Preferably, each water-repellent zone 3 has four water-repellent portions 32, which are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the water-repellent zone 3 and extend along the length direction of the fabric body 100. The four water-repellent portions 32 together form a protruding channel 31 of the water-repellent zone 3. In this way, each water-repellent portion 32 forms a line contact or narrow surface contact with human skin. Compared with the surface contact of traditional fabrics, this significantly reduces the actual contact area between the fabric and the skin, thereby reducing the adhesion caused by sweat accumulation. At the same time, tiny guide gaps are formed between the four water-repellent portions 32, and sweat can be quickly guided to the outer surface of the fabric body 100 along these gaps, further improving the sweat-wicking efficiency.

[0030] Preferably, in the fabric body 100 described above, the warp density is 76 threads / cm and the weft density is 62 threads / cm.

[0031] Furthermore, in the aforementioned fabric body 100, the width of each hydrophilic area 2 is smaller than the width of each water-repellent area 3. Preferably, the width ratio of the hydrophilic area 2 to the water-repellent area 3 is 2:5 to meet ergonomic requirements and ensure that the contact area between the water-repellent area 3 and the skin is dominant, thereby maximizing the sweat-wicking efficiency.

[0032] In detail, when the fabric body 100 is made into sports shorts, the protruding channels 31 of each water-repellent area 3 are in direct contact with the skin of the thigh. Due to the hydrophobic properties of polypropylene yarn, sweat is difficult to stay on the surface of the water-repellent area 3, but is quickly guided to the lower end of the protruding channel, thereby effectively preventing the fabric body 100 from adhering to the skin surface and significantly reducing the sticky feeling. Preferably, the width of each hydrophilic area 2 is 0.2cm and the width of each water-repellent area 3 is 0.5cm.

[0033] In this way, with the structure of the fabric body 100 described above, when the athlete begins to sweat, the sweat first comes into contact with the surface of the protruding channel 31 of the water-repellent area 3. Due to the almost non-hygroscopic nature of polypropylene fibers, the sweat cannot penetrate into the interior of the water-repellent part 32, but instead forms droplets on the surface of the protruding channel 31. Driven by gravity and the micro-airflow generated by human movement, these droplets slide downwards along the length of the protruding channel 31 and are thrown off the body due to centrifugal force during the exercise. At the same time, the sweat entering the groove channel 21 is absorbed through the holes 4 and diffused to the outer side of the hydrophilic area 2. After the sweat is absorbed to the outer side, the external airflow can directly pass through the holes 4 and carry away the water vapor, greatly improving the evaporation efficiency and thus solving the problem of excessive sweating and stickiness.

[0034] Furthermore, in the aforementioned fabric body 100, such as Figure 3 As shown, a circular structure includes a warp system and a weft system. The warp system is divided into 7 warp units, each of which includes 6 warp yarns. The 6 warp yarns are the basic warp yarn and / or the first additional warp yarn. The weft system has 18 weft yarns, each of which is the basic weft yarn, the first additional weft yarn, and / or the second weft yarn. The warp and weft yarns interweave according to a preset sinking and floating pattern to form a stable fabric structure.

[0035] To elaborate further, in order to better represent the interlacing points of the yarn, Figure 2 In the diagram, different colored squares represent interlacing points: black squares represent warp points, white squares represent weft points, green squares represent polypropylene weft points, yellow squares represent alkali-soluble yarn warp points, and red squares represent alkali-soluble yarn weft points.

[0036] Along the warp direction, in the first warp unit, the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polypropylene yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn float (yellow) - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink; The interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn float (yellow)-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float; the interlacing pattern of the sixth column of warp yarns and the 18 weft yarns is the same. The interlacing pattern of the third warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn float (yellow) - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn sink - polyester yarn sink; the interlacing pattern of the fifth warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is the same. The interlacing pattern of the fourth warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: Polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn floating (yellow) - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking - polyester yarn sinking - soluble yarn sinking; Along the warp direction, in the second warp yarn unit, the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns is the same as the interlacing pattern of the first column of warp yarns and the fifth column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns in the first warp yarn unit; the interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns is the same as the interlacing pattern of the second column of warp yarns and the sixth column of warp yarns with the 18 weft yarns in the first warp yarn unit. The interlacing pattern of the third warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - soluble yarn float (yellow) - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink - polyester yarn float - polyester yarn sink; The interlacing pattern of the fourth warp yarn and the 18 weft yarns is as follows: polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-soluble yarn float (yellow)-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn sink-polyester yarn float-polyester yarn float; Among them, the remaining warp units that are not in the first group of warp units have the same interlacing method as the second column of warp units.

[0037] To elaborate further, for ease of description, the warp units are sequentially referred to as the first warp unit, the second warp unit, ..., the seventh warp unit, and the six warp yarns in each warp unit are arranged from left to right (facing...) Figure 3The left side is left and the right side is right, numbered 1, 2, ..., 6 respectively; the 18 weft yarns correspond to the 1st, 2nd to 18th yarns from top to bottom. The warp yarns in the five warp yarn units of the second, third to seventh warp yarn units, as well as the 6th warp yarn in the first warp yarn unit, interweave with the first 11 weft yarns (i.e., the 1st, 2nd to 11th weft yarns) to form a protruding channel 21. The warp yarns in the five warp yarn units of the second, third to seventh warp yarn units, as well as the 6th warp yarn in the first warp yarn unit, interweave with the last 6 weft yarns (i.e., the 13th, 14th to 18th weft yarns) to form a groove 31.

[0038] The present invention also provides athletic shorts, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shorts body 200 is made of the aforementioned quick-drying fabric.

[0039] For ease of description, the reference direction of the shorts body 200 is taken as the state when it is normally worn. At this time, the length direction of the fabric body 100 is taken as the up and down (i.e., vertical) direction, and the width direction of the fabric body 100 is taken as the circumferential direction of the shorts body 200.

[0040] The aforementioned shorts body 200 includes several hydrophilic areas 2 and water-repellent areas 3. The length direction of each hydrophilic area 2 and each water-repellent area 3 is arranged along the vertical direction, and each hydrophilic area 2 and each water-repellent area 3 is arranged along the circumference of the shorts body 200. A water-repellent area 3 connects each pair of adjacent hydrophilic areas 2. The inner side of each pair of adjacent water-repellent areas 3 forms a protruding channel 31 relative to the hydrophilic area 2. The inner side of each hydrophilic area 2 forms a groove 21 relative to the inner side of the adjacent water-repellent area 3. This creates a concave-convex structure on the inner side of the shorts body 200 to reduce the contact area with human skin.

[0041] Furthermore, in the aforementioned shorts body 200, the lower ends of each groove 21 extend to the lower side of the shorts body 200, and the lower ends of each protruding channel 31 extend to the lower side of the shorts body 200. In this way, the bottom of the shorts body 200 is not edged, allowing sweat to flow to the bottom of the shorts body 200 under the action of gravity and gather into sweat droplets, which are then flung out by centrifugal force during exercise, detaching from the shorts body 200 and the human body.

[0042] Furthermore, in the aforementioned shorts body 200, each hydrophilic area 2 has several holes 4, and the holes 4 are arranged at intervals along the length of the hydrophilic area 2.

[0043] Using the aforementioned shorts body 200, during exercise, when sweat is produced, the polypropylene fibers in the water-repellent area 3, due to their hydrophobic properties, quickly guide the sweat to the lower end of the water-repellent area 3 (i.e., the bottom of the shorts body 200). Since the lower ends of each protruding channel 31 extend to the lower side of the shorts body 200, the accumulated sweat can naturally flow to the bottom of the shorts body 200 under the action of gravity, forming a continuous sweat channel. During exercise, the sweat is flung out of the body under the action of centrifugal force. In this way, even in a state of heavy sweating, the water-repellent area 3 can still remain relatively dry, significantly reducing the sticky feeling. Furthermore, the sweat in the groove channel 21 is quickly diffused to the outer side of the shorts body 200 under the wicking action of the hydrophilic polyester yarn, and also permeates to the outer side of the shorts body 200 through each hole 4 on the shorts body 200. In addition, each hole 4 also serves to allow for breathability and air circulation, thereby improving the breathability and dry comfort of the shorts body 200.

[0044] This invention also provides a method for manufacturing quick-drying fabric, comprising the following steps: Materials: The warp yarns include basic warp yarns and first additional warp yarns, and the weft yarns include basic weft yarns, first additional weft yarns, and second weft yarns. Both the basic warp yarns and basic weft yarns are made of 30D / 36F DTY polyester yarn, both the first additional warp yarns and first additional weft yarns are made of 100D soluble yarn, and the second weft yarn is made of 75D polypropylene yarn. There are a total of 42 basic warp yarns and first additional warp yarns, and a total of 18 basic weft yarns, first additional weft yarns, and second additional weft yarns.

[0045] Weaving: The basic warp and basic weft interweave to form a basic structure. The basic warp and the second weft interweave to form a sweat-wicking channel (i.e., the protruding channel mentioned above) on the inner side of the basic structure. The first additional warp and the first additional weft respectively form additional warp or additional weft points at the designated interweaving points of the basic structure to form the greige fabric.

[0046] Dyeing and finishing: After the woven fabric is dyed and finished, holes are created in the warp and weft points on the fabric surface. Then it is set to form the finished fabric.

[0047] The production process after the dyeing and finishing process (i.e. after weaving) is as follows: unloading the fabric → reducing the amount of dyeing machine → cold stacking on the A-frame → desizing and refining the fabric → dyeing → reduction cleaning → setting.

[0048] To elaborate, in the above-mentioned dyeing machine weight reduction process, a 15% sodium hydroxide solution is used to reduce the weight of the greige fabric at a water temperature of 85°C, and the greige fabric is then soaked in the solution.

[0049] The process of cold stacking on an A-frame is a standard procedure and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The dyeing process is carried out using a conventional dyeing machine. The temperature is first raised to 110℃ and then maintained at 110℃ for 40-50 minutes. The temperature is then lowered at a rate of 1℃ every 1.5 minutes until it reaches 70℃, at which point the temperature is stopped to complete the color fixation.

[0051] During the reduction cleaning process, the water temperature is 80-90℃.

[0052] During the setting process, the temperature is 120-140℃ and the speed is 45-55m / min, preferably 130℃ and 50m / min.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made that fall within the scope of the claims of this invention shall be deemed to fall within the scope of the claims of this invention.
