[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a highly wear-resistant and fold-resistant leather, including a substrate layer 1, on which a reinforcing fiber layer 2, an elastic buffer layer 3, and a wear-resistant coating 4 are sequentially arranged. The reinforcing fiber layer 2 is located above the substrate layer 1, the elastic buffer layer 3 is located above the reinforcing fiber layer 2, and the wear-resistant coating 4 is located above the elastic buffer layer 3. The reinforcing fiber layer 2 is woven from high-modulus and high-strength nanofibers, and the reinforcing fiber layer 2 is embedded in the substrate layer 1. By introducing the reinforcing fiber layer 2 woven from high-modulus and high-strength nanofibers and embedding it in the substrate layer 1, the tensile strength and fold resistance of the leather are significantly improved. This structure enables the leather to more effectively disperse and resist stress when subjected to external forces such as bending, folding, or stretching, greatly extending the service life of the leather and maintaining its integrity and stability even under frequent use and harsh environments.

[0030] The elastic buffer layer 3 is made of polyurethane microporous foaming material. The elastic buffer layer 3 is connected to the reinforcing fiber layer 2 by hot pressing. The wear-resistant coating 4 is provided with a primer layer 5, a reinforcing particle layer 6 and a transparent wear-resistant top layer 7. The primer layer 5 is the bottom layer, the reinforcing particle layer 6 is located above the primer layer 5, and the transparent wear-resistant top layer 7 is located above the reinforcing particle layer 6. The primer layer 5 is crosslinked and cured with the elastic buffer layer 3. Hard wear-resistant microparticles are scattered in the reinforcing particle layer 6. A waterproof and breathable layer 8 is arranged between the wear-resistant coating 4 and the elastic buffer layer 3. The waterproof and breathable layer 8 is made of microporous moisture-permeable membrane material. The substrate layer 1 is made of high-quality natural leather or high-performance synthetic leather. The edge of the substrate layer 1 is subjected to edge pressing treatment. The elastic buffer layer 3 made of polyurethane microporous foaming material not only provides good elasticity and buffering effect for the leather, effectively absorbs and disperses the impact and vibration from the outside, but also keeps the inside of the leather dry and comfortable. This design not only improves the comfort of wearing or using, but also protects the leather and the structure below it from damage, reducing the wear and tear caused by long-term stress or impact. The multi-layer structure design of the wear-resistant coating 4, including the primer layer 5, the reinforcing particle layer 6 and the transparent wear-resistant top layer 7, ensures the high wear resistance and scratch resistance of the leather surface. At the same time, the addition of the waterproof and breathable layer 8 realizes the free exchange of air and water vapor without affecting the waterproof performance of the leather, keeping the inside of the leather dry and comfortable. This design not only meets the practical needs, but also improves the user experience, enabling the leather to maintain excellent performance in a variety of complex environments.

[0031] Working principle: In the highly wear-resistant and fold-resistant leather, as the foundation of the leather, the substrate layer 1 provides basic support and stability. High-quality natural leather or high-performance synthetic leather is used as the substrate to ensure the basic quality of the leather. The edge of the substrate layer 1 is edge-pressed to enhance the firmness and durability of the edge, preventing edge peeling or tearing during use. The reinforcing fiber layer 2 located above and embedded in the substrate layer 1 is woven from high-modulus and high-strength nanofibers. The main function of this layer is to significantly improve the tensile strength and fold resistance of the leather. The high-strength characteristics of the nanofibers enable the leather to better disperse and resist stress when subjected to external forces, thereby extending its service life. The elastic buffer layer 3 uses polyurethane microporous foam material and is tightly connected to the reinforcing fiber layer 2 by hot pressing. The main function of this layer is to provide good elasticity and buffering effect, capable of absorbing and dispersing external impacts and vibrations, protecting the leather and the structure below it from damage. At the same time, the breathability of the polyurethane microporous foam material also helps to keep the inside of the leather dry and comfortable. The waterproof and breathable layer 8 located between the wear-resistant coating 4 and the elastic buffer layer 3 is made of microporous moisture-permeable membrane material. This layer ensures the waterproof performance of the leather while allowing air and water vapor to exchange through the micropores, keeping the inside of the leather dry and comfortable. The wear-resistant coating 4 is the protective layer on the leather surface and is composed of a primer layer 5, a reinforcing particle layer 6, and a transparent wear-resistant top layer 7. The primer layer 5 is cross-linked and cured with the elastic buffer layer 3 to enhance the bonding force between the coating and the substrate. Hard wear-resistant microparticles are scattered in the reinforcing particle layer 6, and these microparticles form a hard protective layer on the surface of the coating, effectively resisting wear and scratches. The transparent wear-resistant top layer 7 provides a smooth surface texture and further enhances the wear resistance of the coating.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
