Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile fabric technology, specifically to a durable woven fabric with good moisture absorption. Background Technology
[0002] Honeycomb weave fabrics have a regular, square-shaped pattern of raised and recessed edges, resembling a honeycomb, hence the name. The reason this type of fabric achieves its honeycomb appearance is that one weave cycle consists of long and short floats, which gradually transition to the same configuration. The raised portions on the surface of the honeycomb weave fabric are formed by long warp and long weft floats. The long warp floats form longitudinal ridges, and the long weft floats form transverse ridges. The space between the longitudinal and transverse ridges forms grooves, creating a honeycomb-like surface effect.
[0003] Dishcloths are typically made of ring-spun honeycomb fabric, either pure cotton or pure viscose. However, pure cotton dishcloths are expensive, while viscose dishcloths are less durable due to the low wet strength of the adhesive. Furthermore, pure cotton or pure viscose dishcloths are prone to bacterial growth. Utility Model Content

This application utilizes the honeycomb structure feature, selecting single yarns or plied yarns with different structures, linear densities, and functions to construct the honeycomb structure, making the present invention highly absorbent, better in stain removal, and more durable.

[0012] Figure 1 This invention provides a weave diagram of a durable, moisture-wicking woven fabric. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0014] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0015] This application provides a durable and moisture-wicking woven fabric with a honeycomb weave structure, consisting of eight warp yarns and eight weft yarns forming a weave cycle. The first warp yarn, the fifth warp yarn, the first weft yarn, and the fifth weft yarn are all viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarns, while the second warp yarn, the third warp yarn, the fourth warp yarn, the sixth warp yarn, the seventh warp yarn, the eighth warp yarn, the second weft yarn, the third weft yarn, the fourth weft yarn, the sixth weft yarn, the seventh weft yarn, and the eighth weft yarn are all viscose yarns. The linear density of the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarns is greater than that of the viscose yarns.
[0016] The woven fabric provided in this application has strong moisture absorption, better stain removal, and good durability, and also has antibacterial function.
[0017] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 To illustrate the fabric structure from the weave diagram, 1 represents the first warp, 5 the fifth warp, 11 the first weft, 15 the fifth weft, 2 the second warp, 3 the third warp, 4 the fourth warp, 6 the sixth warp, 7 the seventh warp, 8 the eighth warp, 12 the second weft, 13 the third weft, 14 the fourth weft, 16 the sixth weft, 17 the seventh weft, 18 the eighth weft, 21 the convex weave point, and 22 the concave weave point.
[0018] To make it easier to understand the process of forming the concave-convex appearance of the honeycomb structure of this utility model, the accompanying drawings of this utility model contain a tissue diagram including four tissue cycles.
[0019] See Figure 1 As shown, a durable and moisture-wicking woven fabric has a honeycomb weave structure, consisting of eight warp yarns and eight weft yarns forming a weave cycle. The first warp yarn 1, the fifth warp yarn 5, the first weft yarn 11, and the fifth weft yarn 15 are all viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarns, while the second warp yarn 2, the third warp yarn 3, the fourth warp yarn 4, the sixth warp yarn 6, the seventh warp yarn 7, the eighth warp yarn 8, the second weft yarn 12, the third weft yarn 13, the fourth weft yarn 14, the sixth weft yarn 16, the seventh weft yarn 17, and the eighth weft yarn 18 are all viscose yarns. The linear density of the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn is greater than that of the viscose yarn.
[0020] In this invention, the first warp yarn 1 forms warp floats on the front side of the fabric, the first weft yarn 11 forms weft floats on the front side of the fabric, the fifth warp yarn forms warp floats on the reverse side of the fabric, and the fifth weft yarn 15 forms weft floats on the reverse side of the fabric. For the warp floats, due to their fewer interlacing points and smaller shrinkage rate, the length of the warp floats will inevitably rise in the warp direction, forming warp ridges. Similarly, for the weft floats, due to their fewer interlacing points and smaller weft shrinkage rate, the length of the weft floats will inevitably arch in the weft direction, forming weft ridges. Therefore, the first warp yarn 1 forms warp ridges on the front side of the fabric, and the first weft yarn 11 forms weft ridges on the front side of the fabric. Figure 1 Point 21, located at the intersection of the warp and weft ridges on the front side, raises the plain weave at this point, forming a ridge on the front side of the fabric. The fifth warp yarn 5 forms a warp ridge on the reverse side of the fabric, and the fifth weft yarn 15 forms a weft ridge on the reverse side of the fabric. Figure 1 There are 22 concave weave points located at the intersection of the warp and weft ridges on the reverse side. These points lift the plain weave, creating a raised area on the reverse side of the fabric, which appears concave from the front. Because the warp and weft floats gradually transition from long to short to a plain weave, the degree of concavity and convexity on the front of the fabric also gradually transitions, forming a honeycomb appearance.
[0021] This application analyzes the structural characteristics of honeycomb weave in its embodiments. Commonly used all-viscose honeycomb weave fabrics for dishcloths suffer from low wet strength of viscose fibers, especially at the long floats in the warp or weft directions. Because these locations lack interlacing points, the fabric's strength is very low, making it prone to breakage and affecting the durability of all-viscose dishcloths. In this application, the first warp yarn 1, the fifth warp yarn 5, the first weft yarn 11, and the fifth weft yarn 15 are all viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarns. That is, the yarns with long floats are all high-strength viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarns, making the long floats less prone to breakage and improving the durability of the dishcloth. The other yarns are all viscose yarns, allowing the dishcloth to maintain good durability.
[0022] Ply yarn is made by combining and twisting two or more single yarns. Single yarn is made by spinning short fibers, which are arranged axially and twisted together. It has the characteristics of being stronger and more abrasion-resistant than single yarn.
[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the linear density of the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn is greater than that of viscose yarn. Because the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn has higher strength and better abrasion resistance, while viscose yarn has lower strength, especially wet breaking strength and abrasion resistance, the greater linear density of the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn in this application results in greater friction on the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn when wiping kitchenware, compared to relatively less friction on the viscose yarn. Simultaneously, the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn also enhances the strength and abrasion resistance of this application, making it more durable. Furthermore, the greater linear density of the viscose antibacterial polyester ply yarn strengthens the uneven surface structure of this application, making it easier to remove dirt and providing stronger cleaning power.
[0024] In the embodiments of this application, the viscose antibacterial polyester yarn is a yarn composed of viscose monoyarn and antibacterial polyester monoyarn. The antibacterial polyester monoyarn of this application is a monoyarn made of antibacterial polyester fiber. Compared with microorganisms in nature, human skin is a good nutrient base. Under normal circumstances, some resident bacteria on human skin play a role in protecting the skin from pathogens. However, once the microbial community is imbalanced, a small number of pathogens will multiply in large numbers and cause harm to the human body through the skin, respiratory tract, digestive tract, and reproductive tract mucosa. During the process of wearing, textiles are contaminated with a lot of sweat, sebum, and other human secretions, as well as environmental pollutants. They become an important medium in the reproduction and transmission of pathogens. Therefore, people need textiles that can resist bacteria to meet health requirements, and silver ion (antibacterial) polyester staple fiber is an ideal raw material for antibacterial textiles. The antibacterial polyester single yarn possesses both the excellent strength of polyester and, when combined with viscose fiber to form a plied yarn, imparts good breaking strength to the yarn, thereby improving the durability of this application. It also has antibacterial properties, reducing bacterial growth on dishcloths.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the antibacterial polyester fiber can be silver ion (antibacterial) staple fiber from Shanghai Defulun Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. Silver ion (antibacterial) staple fiber can be blended with natural fibers or spun purely for various bedding, furniture fabrics, decorative fabrics, sanitary dressings, hospital-specific sheets, quilts, surgical gowns, doctor's work clothes, patient gowns, food industry-specific clothing, shoe materials, gloves, and various underwear and clothing. Various nonwoven products made from silver ion (antibacterial) fiber can be widely used in disposable sanitary materials, such as sterile surgical gowns, surgical caps, masks, and sanitary covering materials, dressings, and insoles (linings) filter materials. Silver ion (antibacterial) polyester staple fiber is a durable functional fiber made by melting antibacterial materials into the spinning melt and then spinning it. Compared with antibacterial finishing methods, it has the advantages of broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, high antibacterial rate, long-lasting antibacterial effect, safety and harmlessness to the human body, and wide applicability. According to tests conducted by authoritative institutions, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), and Candida albicans (ATCC10231) showed significant antibacterial effects.
[0026] In the embodiments of this application, both viscose yarn and viscose monofilament yarn are rotor yarns. Free-end spinning involves separating fibers into individual strands and cohesuring them, then twisting them into yarn at one end without mechanical gripping; hence the name free-end spinning. Typical examples include rotor yarn, electrostatic spinning, vortex spinning, vortex air-jet spinning, and friction spinning. Rotor yarn, also known as air-jet yarn, is spun by the centrifugal force generated by a high-speed rotating rotor, causing fibers to cohede in the surrounding grooves of the rotor and then twisted by the rotor. Air-jet yarn is characterized by large voids, poor fiber straightness, less fiber transfer between inner and outer layers, and inconsistent twist, resulting in low strength and high elongation. However, the fabric has a full and thick feel, good warmth retention, abrasion resistance, good sizing and moisture absorption, and high dye absorption. Rotor-spun yarn is relatively inexpensive and suitable for many products, such as corduroy, workwear, khaki, yarn-dyed fleece, printed fleece, blankets, knitted blankets, bath towels, and decorative fabrics. Rotor-type yarn has a full and thick feel, good abrasion resistance and water absorption. Therefore, both viscose yarn and viscose monofilament yarn in this application are made of rotor-type yarn to improve the abrasion resistance and water absorption of this application.
[0027] The areal density, or mass per unit area, of all fabrics, including woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, braided fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics, is uniformly defined as the mass per unit area under the standard moisture regain, with the unit being g / m2.
[0028] Linear density refers to the mass per unit length of fiber, single yarn, netting, rope, etc., and is an indicator describing the fineness of the yarn; the higher the linear density, the thicker the fiber or yarn. Tex (tex) is the weight in grams of 1000 meters of fiber or yarn at standard moisture regain; it is a unit of linear density in a fixed-length system. For cotton yarns, tex is commonly referred to as the yarn number. Denier (D) refers to the weight in grams of a 9000-meter fiber bundle; the linear density of yarn can also be expressed using diameter. The linear density of multifilament chemical fibers is generally expressed by the number of single filaments and the total tex count, such as 16.5tex / 30f, which means the total linear density of the multifilament is 16.5tex and the number of single filaments is 30.
[0029] Linear density is mainly measured in metric count (N) and imperial count (S). Imperial count refers to the number of times that the length of yarn per unit weight (1 pound) at standard moisture regain is a multiple of 840 yards. The higher the count, the finer the yarn.
[0030] In summary, this application utilizes the characteristics of honeycomb structure and selects single yarns or strands with different structures, linear densities, and functions to construct honeycomb structure, making the present invention highly absorbent, better in stain removal, and more durable, while also having antibacterial function, and can be used for dishcloths.
