Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the weaken-free fabric and instrument panel of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the weaken-free fabric of this utility model. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a non-weakening fabric, comprising: a surface textured fabric layer 201 and a PP cotton layer 203, wherein the PP cotton layer 203 and the surface textured fabric layer 201 are connected by a hot melt adhesive layer 202; the surface textured fabric layer 201 includes two sets of face yarns and one set of back yarns arranged in parallel, specifically, fed in the warp direction onto all working needles of the warp knitting single needle bed, and simultaneously forming loops to form the fabric; the face yarns are a variable warp plain weave, one set being 21 / 10 / 12 / 10 / 12 / 34 / 45 / 43 / 45 / 43; the second The yarn count is 34 / 45 / 43 / 45 / 43 / 21 / 10 / 12 / 10 / 12; both weaves are three-way interlacing, creating a hexagonal hollow three-dimensional structure on the surface; the base yarn is a plain warp weave with a 10 / 23 weave, fully interlaced; the three yarns are woven into loops simultaneously to form a warp-knitted fabric; due to the different interlacing methods and the different colors of the two yarns, the fabric surface has a textured, three-dimensional feel; specifically, the face yarn consists of 83dtex / 36F high-shrinkage, fully stretched polyester, and the base yarn consists of 55dtex / 24F low-elasticity, lightweight mesh polyester. The face yarn is white polyester. The base yarn is black polyester; specifically, the face yarn is 83dtex / 36F high-shrinkage polyester FDY white yarn, and the base yarn is 55dtex / 24F low-elasticity lightweight mesh black polyester yarn; it adopts a warp plain and warp twill structure, and the varied warp twill structure and warp plain form a grid shape on the fabric surface, adding some three-dimensionality to the fabric. Moreover, there is only one set of yarn between the grids, which has a lower strength and is more easily torn than ordinary fabrics. It is the main structure for expressing patterns. The yarn interlacing to form a grid surface enhances the quality of the fabric. The face yarn and base yarn form a warp plain and warp twill structure. The weaving process uses a warp knitting 28-needle single needle bed. The polyester yarn is selected from white yarn and colored yarn, and then it is dyed and heat-set in the later stage; the process is simple.
[0027] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and combined Figures 3 to 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the decorative surface layer, the foamed sandwich layer, and the skeleton layer in the instrument panel of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the optimal embodiment of the shatterproof inner surface of this utility model. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 4As shown, this utility model also provides an instrument panel, including the non-weakening fabric 200 as described above, which covers the surface of the instrument panel 100. The instrument panel 100 includes a decorative surface layer 101 and a skeleton layer 103, which are connected by a foamed sandwich layer 102, which provides the panel with a movement cushioning force.
[0028] To prevent the panel from shattering and producing sharp edges upon impact, a shatterproof inner surface 104 is formed on the side where the decorative surface layer 101, the skeleton layer 103, and the foamed core layer 102 meet. This shatterproof inner surface 104 reduces the risk of breakage and minimizes the appearance of sharp edges. The shatterproof inner surface 104 has evenly spaced extended protrusions 105, which are integral with the decorative surface layer 101 or the skeleton layer 103. The thickened extended protrusions 105 allow the panel to deform and move, preventing immediate breakage upon impact and instead causing it to deform to a certain extent before breaking, thus providing a good cushioning effect. Additionally, a grid-like groove is formed, specifically, a grid groove 106 is formed between a row and a column of extended protrusions 105. Multiple connecting lines 107 are provided within the grid groove 106. These connecting lines 107 have a certain degree of elasticity and can connect most of the fragments after the panel breaks, preventing the fragments from scattering and thus reducing the appearance of sharp edges.
[0029] In summary, the fabric surface of this embodiment adopts a mesh structure, with only one set of 55dtex / 24F yarns between the meshes. The yarns are fine, and the overall fabric strength is relatively low in the mesh area, making it more prone to tearing than fabrics in related technologies. By setting a surface textured fabric layer 201, traces after laser treatment are avoided. The surface color can be selected according to needs, adding personalization and fashion to the interior appearance and improving the overall grade. The PP cotton layer 203 connects the surface textured fabric layer 201 to the dashboard 100, giving the panel a lightweight, soft, high-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant effect. It has a delicate and soft feel, good elasticity and resilience, and effectively cushions pressure while optimizing the touch. Furthermore, the PP cotton layer 203 is non-irritating to the skin and safe to use. By setting a shatterproof inner surface 104, the panel is prevented from breaking and forming sharp edges, reducing secondary injuries to people when the airbag deploys and improving safety during use.
[0030] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
