[0020] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not exhaustive or limit the present utility model to the disclosed form. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present utility model and thus design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, a highly breathable sunscreen fabric is provided, including a fabric body 1. A main area 100 is arranged on the fabric body 1 in an array. A first connection area 200 is arranged between two adjacent main areas 100 along the weft direction, and a second connection area 300 is arranged between two adjacent main areas 100 along the warp direction. A breathable area 400 is formed at the intersection of the first connection area 200 and the second connection area 300. The fabric body 1 has a main area 100 and a breathable area 400, which increases the air permeability of the fabric body 1.

[0022] The fabric body 1 is woven from warp yarns and weft yarns. Alkali-soluble yarns are provided inside both the warp yarns and the weft yarns. After alkali treatment, the outer diameter at the intersection of the alkali-soluble yarns inside the warp yarns and the weft yarns becomes thinner, thereby forming a breathable structure, and further increasing the breathability of the fabric.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the warp yarns include a plurality of first warp yarns 11 arranged and a plurality of second warp yarns 12. The plurality of second warp yarns 12 are arranged on one side of the plurality of first warp yarns 11, that is, after the plurality of first warp yarns 11 are arranged, the plurality of second warp yarns 12 are then arranged on one side of the outermost first warp yarn 11.

[0024] Furthermore, the first warp yarn 11 is made of anti-UV (ultraviolet) yarn. The anti-UV yarn is a textile material with anti-ultraviolet function, made of chemical fiber. The anti-UV yarn is an existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0025] Furthermore, the second warp yarn 12 is an alkali-soluble yarn, made of polyester. The alkali-soluble yarn has high strength and good wear resistance.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the weft yarns include a plurality of first weft yarns 21 arranged and a plurality of second weft yarns 22. The plurality of second weft yarns 22 are arranged on one side of the plurality of first weft yarns 21, that is, after the plurality of first weft yarns 21 are arranged, the plurality of second weft yarns 22 are then arranged on one side of the outermost first weft yarn 21.

[0027] Furthermore, the first weft yarn 21 is made of polyester covered spandex.

[0028] Furthermore, the second weft yarn 22 is made of alkali-soluble yarn covered spandex, a composite fiber material combining alkali-soluble yarn and covered spandex.

[0029] In the prior art, the main purpose of alkali treatment is to treat raw materials by using an alkaline solution, and its steps are as follows:

[0030] S1: Preheat and humidify the grey fabric, and steam the grey fabric with hot moisture;

[0031] S2: Preheat the pretreatment solution, and preheat the prepared pretreatment solution;

[0032] S3: Pretreatment, put the grey fabric treated in step S1 into the pretreatment solution for constant-temperature pretreatment;

[0033] S4: Cleaning, wash and dehydrate the fabric treated in step S3 with clean water.

[0034] Furthermore, the main body area 100 is woven from the first warp yarn 11 and the first weft yarn 21.

[0035] Furthermore, the first connection area 200 is woven from the first warp yarn 11 and the second weft yarn 22.

[0036] Furthermore, the second connection area 300 is composed of the first weft yarn 21 and the second weft yarn 22.

[0037] Furthermore, the breathable area 400 is composed of the second weft yarn 22.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, specifically, after the first warp yarn 11, the second warp yarn 12, the first weft yarn 21 and the second weft yarn 22 are woven together to form a fabric, and then through alkali treatment, the second warp yarn 12 is dissolved, and the alkali-soluble yarn wrapped outside the second weft yarn 22 is dissolved, exposing the spandex inside. The outer diameter of the second weft yarn 22 at the intersection of the original second warp yarn 12 and the second weft yarn 22 becomes thinner, thus forming a breathable structure. After the alkali-soluble yarn is dissolved and the spandex is transparent, larger gaps are generated in the warp and weft directions, increasing the breathability of the fabric.

[0039] Furthermore, in the warp direction, the distance between two adjacent breathable areas 400 is greater than 3 mm;

[0040] In the weft direction, the distance between two adjacent breathable areas 400 is greater than 3 mm.

[0041] In one embodiment, the model of the first warp yarn 11 is 25D / 24F FD DTY (South Asia permanent anti-UV yarn), and the second warp yarn 12 is 50D alkali-soluble yarn;

[0042] The model of the first weft yarn 21 is 27D / 72F DTY + 20D spandex, and the second weft yarn 22 is 50D alkali-soluble yarn + 30D spandex.

[0043] Among them, the warp density is 230 threads per inch, and the weft density is 150 threads per inch.

[0044] In the breathability test, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0045]

[0046]

[0047] Table 1

[0048] In the determination of anti-UV performance, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0049] Test standard Test item Test value Test result Unit AATCC 183-2020 Ultraviolet transmittance, T(UVA) Test value 3.09 % AATCC 183-2020 Ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) Test value 55.49 %

[0050] This test result is based on a white fabric, whose UPF is greater than 50% and UVA is less than 5%, having good anti-UV and breathability.

[0051] It can be known that other colors will have a higher UPF value. It is understandable that the larger the yarn count D number, the greater the density, and the larger the spacing of the breathable structure, which is equivalent to a reduction in the breathable structure, and the anti-UV effect will be improved to some extent, but relatively, the breathability will become a little worse.

[0052] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art and related fields without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented by conventional means in the art without special instructions and limitations.
