Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of reflective clothing manufacturing technology, specifically to a method for manufacturing a reflective clothing made of quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabric. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing public awareness of safety, reflective vests are being used more and more widely in road construction, traffic management, and outdoor sports. Traditional reflective vests are mostly made of ordinary fabrics, which have poor moisture absorption and quick-drying properties. During wear, especially when the wearer sweats a lot, this can cause stuffiness and discomfort, affecting the wearing experience. Additionally, the reflective strips on some vests are not securely fixed and are prone to falling off, affecting the reflective effect and lifespan. Furthermore, traditional reflective vests have limited functionality and are not very waterproof in light rain, restricting their application scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing reflective clothing made of quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabric, so as to solve the technical problems of poor moisture absorption, weak reflective strips, and reduced reflective performance and service life of traditional reflective clothing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for preparing a reflective garment made of quick-drying, moisture-wicking fabric includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. Preparation of quick-drying and moisture-wicking composite fabric: Polyester fiber and bamboo pulp fiber are mixed and spun at a mass ratio of 5-7:3-5 to obtain blended yarn; the blended yarn is woven in a plain weave to form a base fabric; the base fabric is subjected to plasma treatment with a treatment power of 300-500W and a treatment time of 3-5min; then the treated base fabric is immersed in a modified solution containing nano-titanium dioxide at a temperature of 60-80℃ for 1-2h, and then dried to obtain quick-drying and moisture-wicking composite fabric;

[0007] S2. Fabric cutting: According to the design dimensions of the reflective garment, the quick-drying and moisture-wicking composite fabric prepared in step S1 is cut to obtain the front piece, back piece, sleeves and collar fabric of the reflective garment.

[0008] S3. Preparation of reflective strips: Glass microspheres are evenly distributed on a hot melt adhesive film. The glass microspheres are partially embedded in the hot melt adhesive film through a pressing process. The embedding depth is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the glass microspheres, thus obtaining reflective strips.

[0009] S4. Sewing the main body of the reflective garment: The front piece, back piece, sleeves, and collar fabric obtained in step S2 are connected by sewing to form the main body of the reflective garment;

[0010] S5. Fixing the reflective strip: Fix the reflective strip prepared in step S3 to the predetermined position of the reflective garment body through a hot pressing process. The hot pressing temperature is 120-150℃ and the hot pressing time is 10-20s to obtain a quick-drying and moisture-wicking reflective garment.

[0011] The above technical solution uses a pre-set ratio of polyester fiber and bamboo pulp fiber to make a quick-drying and moisture-wicking composite fabric through a series of treatments. Combined with a unique method of preparing and fixing reflective strips, the reflective clothing has both good quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties. The reflective strips are firmly fixed and have a good reflective effect. The synergistic effect of each step improves the overall performance of the reflective clothing.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the modified solution containing nano-titanium dioxide in step S1, the mass fraction of nano-titanium dioxide is 2% to 5%, and the modified solution also includes a silane coupling agent with a mass fraction of 1% to 3%. Adding a silane coupling agent to the modified solution enhances the bonding force between the nano-titanium dioxide and the base fabric, further improving the fabric's quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties and stability, thus making the fabric's performance more durable.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying temperature in step S1 is 80-100℃, and the drying time is 30-60 minutes. The drying temperature and time ensure that the base fabric is fully dried after treatment with the modified solution, avoiding residual moisture from affecting the quick-drying and moisture-wicking effect of the fabric, while ensuring the stability of the fabric structure.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the glass microspheres in step S3 is 50-100μm and the thickness of the hot melt adhesive film is 80-120μm. By controlling the diameter of the glass microspheres and the thickness of the hot melt adhesive film, the reflective effect of the reflective strip is optimized, and the thickness of the hot melt adhesive film is appropriate to ensure the adhesion between the reflective strip and the fabric.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure of the pressing process in step S3 is 0.3-0.5 MPa, the pressing temperature is 80-100℃, and the pressing time is 5-10 s. These pressing process parameters ensure that the glass microspheres are firmly embedded in the hot melt adhesive film, preventing them from easily falling off and ensuring the stable and long-lasting reflective performance of the reflective strip.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sewing process in step S4 adopts a double-chain stitch, the sewing thread is polyester thread, and the stitch density is 12-15 stitches / 2cm. The double-chain stitch and the specific sewing thread and stitch density enhance the sewing strength of the reflective garment body, making the reflective garment more durable and less prone to unraveling.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined positions mentioned in step S5 include the shoulders, cuff edges, and both sides of the waist of the reflective garment body, and the width of the reflective strip is 3-5 cm. Fixing the reflective strip at predetermined positions such as the shoulders, cuff edges, and both sides of the waist can improve the visibility of the reflective garment at different angles and enhance the safety of the wearer; a reflective strip of a specific width can ensure the reflective effect without affecting the wearing comfort.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S6 is further included: waterproofing the quick-drying, moisture-wicking reflective garment obtained in step S5 by immersing the reflective garment in a fluorinated waterproofing agent solution for 30-40 minutes, then removing it and drying it at 100-120°C for 20-30 minutes. This waterproofing treatment enables the reflective garment to possess both quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties and waterproofness, enabling it to handle minor water stains and expanding the applicable scenarios for the reflective garment.

[0019] As a further aspect of the present invention, the mass fraction of the fluorinated waterproofing agent solution in step S6 is 5% to 8%, which, while ensuring the waterproofing effect, will not have a significant negative impact on the quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties of the reflective clothing, thus achieving a balance between waterproofing and quick-drying and moisture-wicking.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gas used for plasma treatment in step S1 is oxygen, and the gas flow rate is 10-20 L / min; when cutting the fabric in step S2, laser cutting is used, with a laser power of 80-100 W and a cutting speed of 50-80 mm / s. Using oxygen as the plasma treatment gas can better modify the surface of the base fabric, improve the adsorption capacity of the base fabric for nano-titanium dioxide, and thus enhance the quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties of the fabric; laser cutting has the characteristics of high precision, which can ensure that the edges of the fabric are neat after cutting, reduce fabric waste, and avoid problems such as fabric fraying that may be caused by traditional cutting methods, ensuring that the fabric performance is not affected.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the preparation method of the quick-drying, moisture-wicking reflective clothing of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] This invention optimizes various aspects, including fabric selection and processing, and the preparation and fixation of reflective strips, to produce reflective clothing with excellent quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties. It rapidly absorbs and wicks away sweat, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. The reflective strips are highly reflective and securely fixed, effectively reflecting light under illumination to improve visibility in low-light environments and ensure safety. Furthermore, the reflective clothing has a robust and durable structure, and some designs even offer waterproofing, making it widely applicable and exhibiting excellent overall performance.
