Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of knitted fabric products, in particular to a knitted fabric with a moisture-conducting function. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the fabric uppers of mainstream athletic shoes are mostly made of polyester fibers. The fabric material and weave pattern are primarily reflected on the front and back of the shoe, with single-, double-, or triple-layer structures available. During exercise, foot sweat often accumulates in the sock tissue. Because the polyester fibers on the front and back of most fabric uppers lack hydrophilicity, the uppers are unable to smoothly transfer this sweat to the upper surface. Furthermore, this accumulation of sweat reduces air flow within the fabric, causing significant discomfort and a stuffy feeling in the wearer's feet. Therefore, a fabric upper with moisture-wicking properties could effectively alleviate this discomfort.
[0003] Moisture-conducting fabrics are currently mainly used in clothing products. For example, Chinese patent application CN217073636U discloses a unidirectional moisture-conducting fabric, wherein an outer layer is provided on one side of the inner layer, and a plurality of hydrophilic parts are provided at equal distances on the other side of the inner layer. A plurality of contact grooves are provided at equal distances on the plurality of hydrophilic parts, and the contact grooves are in an arc-shaped structure. It also discloses that the outer layer is made of wood pulp fiber material, and the inner layer is made of polypropylene and spandex materials. The hydrophilic properties of wood pulp fiber can quickly conduct sweat to the outside of the body, and the water-repellent effect of polypropylene is used to keep the body surface dry and comfortable, ensuring the hydrophobicity of the inner layer. At the same time, polypropylene is beneficial to the wear resistance of the inner layer when worn. According to the different hydrophobicities of the materials, a unidirectional moisture-conducting function is formed by interweaving polypropylene with spandex and wood pulp fiber materials. However, there is a problem with dyeing of polypropylene, and it is impossible to achieve flexible color matching, which has certain limitations in shoe upper design. For example, Chinese patent application CN216069009U discloses a one-way moisture-conducting air layer fabric, which includes a surface layer, an intermediate layer and a one-way moisture-conducting layer. The one-way moisture-conducting layer includes a skin-friendly layer and a one-way moisture-conducting printed layer printed on the surface of the skin-friendly layer. The surface layer and the skin-friendly layer are both short fiber yarn layers, and the intermediate layer is a filament yarn layer with multiple F numbers. The yarns in the filament yarn layer are chemical fiber filament yarns with a cross-structured cross-section. Due to the strength of the short fibers, this moisture-conducting structure fabric has great risks when used in sports shoes, and its use has certain limitations. For example, patent application CN215620520U discloses a textile fabric that conducts moisture unidirectionally. The fabric comprises a hydrophobic layer, a main layer, a composite layer, and a hydrophilic layer. The hydrophobic layer, main layer, composite layer, and hydrophilic layer are sequentially arranged in a direction away from human skin. The hydrophobic layer is bonded to the main layer, the composite layer is connected to the main layer via a tissue structure, and the hydrophilic layer is bonded to the composite layer. The hydrophobic layer is bonded to the side of the main layer closest to the skin, while the hydrophilic layer is bonded to the side of the main layer away from the skin. This increases the wettability gradient difference between the two sides of the main layer, facilitating the transfer of water vapor toward the hydrophilic layer and improving the fabric's unidirectional moisture conduction performance. However, because the hydrophilic layer of this fabric structure can only absorb water vapor, while the layer in contact with the skin is the hydrophobic layer, even if the skin contacts the fabric during heavy sweating, moisture cannot be quickly discharged. Therefore, this fabric structure does not provide good moisture conduction performance when used in shoe uppers. Some existing fabrics that are believed to have good moisture conduction performance are too thin and unsuitable for shoe upper applications, and they also fail to meet certain requirements for waterproofing and wear resistance on the shoe upper surface. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fabric material with a unidirectional moisture conduction function, which is suitable for sports shoe uppers and has a good moisture conduction effect.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is: a fabric with a unidirectional moisture-conducting function, the fabric is used as a knitted upper, the knitted upper includes a moisture-conducting layer facing the inner side of the upper and a moisture-absorbing layer facing the outer side of the upper when in use, the moisture-conducting layer is woven from at least one water-repellent fiber and at least one moisture-absorbing fiber, the moisture-absorbing layer is woven from moisture-absorbing fibers, and the moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-conducting layer are woven and connected with the moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-absorbing layer.
[0006] The knitted cloth on the knitted upper is provided with a breathable hole structure.
[0007] The water-repellent fibers of the moisture-conducting layer account for more than 60% of the total fiber content of the layer, and the rest are polyester multifilaments.
[0008] The knitted shoe upper also includes a layer of wear-resistant mesh on the outer side of the moisture-absorbing layer.
[0009] The knitted shoe upper includes a forefoot area corresponding to the forefoot portion of a human foot. The moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-conducting layer are arranged corresponding to the forefoot area and are woven to form protruding moisture-absorbing convex points that are easy to contact with the human foot.
[0010] The moisture-absorbing layer and the wear-resistant mesh are woven to form a groove structure that is conducive to guiding airflow, and the moisture-absorbing protrusions are arranged corresponding to the groove structure.
[0011] The knitted fabric surrounding the forefoot area is provided with a breathable hole structure.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effect of the utility model is as follows: the fabric fabric with the above structural arrangement, the inner hygroscopic fibers are mainly used for moisture conduction, that is, to conduct moisture to the hygroscopic fibers of the outer layer, so the hygroscopic fibers on the outer layer are mainly used for absorbing and dissipating moisture, and the content of the hygroscopic fibers in the inner moisture-conducting layer is less than that of the water-repellent fibers, and the content of the hygroscopic fibers in the outer moisture-absorbent layer is greater than that on the inner side. The combination of the two forms a humidity gradient difference, so that the inner side of the fabric does not absorb a large amount of moisture and is not easy to dissipate, but instead absorbs moisture through a small amount of hygroscopic fibers and quickly conducts and dissipates it, thereby achieving a unidirectional water-conducting function. This method is different from the existing structural arrangement, can improve the problem of excessive water absorption and resulting stuffiness in existing ordinary unidirectional moisture-conducting fabrics, and has good moisture-dissipating and breathable effects. Further combined with the arrangement of the above-mentioned air holes and groove structures, it can better achieve a fast and good heat dissipation and ventilation effect, improve the problem of poor air permeability and quick-drying performance of existing ordinary unidirectional moisture-conducting fabrics, thereby making shoes more comfortable to wear, and is therefore particularly suitable for application in the uppers of some sports shoes.

[0017] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0018] This embodiment discloses a fabric with a one-way moisture conduction function, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention mainly talks about the use of fabric fabrics as knitted upper products. As shown in the figure, the main improvement of the present invention is that the knitted upper includes a moisture-conducting layer 1 facing the inner side of the upper and a moisture-absorbing layer 2 facing the outer side of the upper when in use. The moisture-conducting layer 1 is woven from at least one water-repellent fiber and at least one moisture-absorbing fiber. In the research and development test of the present invention, the water-repellent fiber of the moisture-conducting layer 1 accounts for more than 60% of the total fiber content of the layer, and the rest is a woven structure of polyester multifilament, which achieves the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention with excellent effect. The moisture-absorbing layer 2 is all woven from moisture-absorbing fibers. The moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-conducting layer 1 are woven and connected together with the moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-absorbing layer 2. In this way, the content of the moisture-absorbing fibers of the inner moisture-conducting layer 1 is less than that of the water-repellent fibers, and the content of the moisture-absorbing fibers of the outer moisture-absorbing layer 2 is greater than that of the inner side. The combination of the two forms a humidity step difference, which can absorb moisture and quickly conduct it out and dissipate it, thereby achieving a one-way water-conducting function with better effect.
[0019] To achieve better ventilation, further structural configurations can be made. A ventilation hole structure 3 can be provided on the knitted fabric of the knitted upper, as shown in the figure, to facilitate the circulation and ventilation of air. Furthermore, to enhance the structural strength, wear resistance, and tensile strength of the knitted upper, the knitted upper can also include a layer of wear-resistant mesh on the outer side of the moisture-absorbing layer 2.
[0020] In addition, in order to further enhance the above-mentioned purpose and effect of the present invention, the knitted upper includes a forefoot area corresponding to the forefoot part of the human foot, and the moisture-absorbing fibers of the moisture-conducting layer 1 are arranged corresponding to the forefoot area, and are woven to form protruding moisture-absorbing convex points 11 that are easy to contact with the human foot. The moisture-absorbing convex points 11 can achieve direct contact between the moisture-absorbing fibers and the human foot, thereby quickly absorbing air, quickly conducting it out, and quickly dissipating it. Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing layer 2 and the wear-resistant mesh are woven to form a groove structure 4 that is conducive to guiding airflow. The moisture-absorbing convex points 11 are arranged corresponding to the groove structure 4. The groove structure 4 can guide the airflow and increase the airflow contact area, thereby increasing the dissipation speed and achieving a better quick-drying effect. A breathable hole structure 3 can also be further arranged around it, and the combined effect is even better.
[0021] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present invention.
