Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile fabric technology, and in particular to a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of textile technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, especially in recent years, people have become more health-conscious and are increasingly involved in and invested in sports. The requirements for sportswear are no longer limited to style and color, but also place higher demands on comfort, especially the moisture-wicking, quick-drying and non-sticky properties of the clothing.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] Existing moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics have poor absorption and wicking effects, a strong sticky feel against the skin, and cannot guarantee that the inner layer of the fabric is dry. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric to solve the technical problems of existing moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics having poor absorption and release effects, strong stickiness to the skin, and inability to ensure that the inner layer of the fabric is dry.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, comprising:

[0007] Inner layer fabric, the inner layer fabric comprising two or more arched floats arranged along a first direction; and

[0008] The outer fabric has two or more arched floats on its inner side. One end of each arched float is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric, and the other end of each arched float is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric. A first gap is left between the middle section of each arched float and the inner side of the outer fabric.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, two or more arched floats are arranged vertically, with a second gap between the upper and lower parts of two adjacent arched floats.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner layer fabric is woven from absorbent yarn.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the absorbent yarn is interwoven with the outer fabric, and the absorbent yarn is spaced to form two or more arched floats and two or more second gaps.

[0012] As one embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional shape of the suction and discharge yarn is cross-shaped, Y-shaped, pentagonal, octagonal, or any combination of one or more of these shapes.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fineness of the yarn fibers in the outer fabric is smaller than that in the inner fabric.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the diameters at both ends of the arched float are equal to the diameter of the middle section of the arched float.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner fabric includes two or more rows of arched floats, with a third gap between the two rows of arched floats.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, a support coil is provided, which is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric and is located below the arched float.

[0017] Unlike existing technologies, the technical solution of this application utilizes a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric comprising an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is the side of the fabric that touches the skin and includes two or more arched floats. The two ends of each arched float are connected to the inner side of the outer layer. A first gap is left between the middle section of the arched float and the inner side of the outer layer. The two or more arched floats are arranged vertically, and a second gap is left between the upper and lower sections of two adjacent arched floats. The inner layer also includes two or more rows of arched floats, with a third gap between the two rows of arched floats.

[0018] The first, second, and third slits create a multi-arc, three-dimensional structure on the back of the fabric, reducing the contact area between the inner layer of the fabric and the skin. These slits also enhance the fabric's airflow, preventing the clothing from easily sticking to the skin. The connection between the inner and outer yarns, with the outer layer's yarn fibers being finer than the inner layer's, creates a capillary effect, guiding sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer. This allows the sweat to evaporate quickly, preventing the fabric from feeling stuffy and making the clothing less likely to stick to the body.

[0019] The above description of the utility model is merely an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application and to implement it based on the description and drawings, and to make the above-mentioned objectives and other objectives, features and advantages of this application easier to understand, the following description is provided in conjunction with the specific embodiments and drawings of this application.

[0038] Existing moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics have poor absorption and wicking effects, a strong sticky feel against the skin, and cannot guarantee that the inner layer of the fabric is dry.

[0039] The inventor designed a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, which includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is the side of the fabric that touches the skin and includes two or more arched floats. The two ends of the arched floats are connected to the inner side of the outer layer. A first gap is left between the middle section of the arched floats and the inner side of the outer layer, forming an arched structure that becomes several absorption and drainage channels. Only the top of the arched structure contacts the skin, reducing the contact area between the inner layer and the skin and enhancing air circulation on the surface of the inner layer for rapid sweat absorption. The fabric has a good absorption and drainage effect, reduces stickiness, and keeps the inner layer of the fabric dry.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment relates to a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, including an inner fabric 1 and an outer fabric 2. The inner fabric 1 includes two or more arched floats 11, which are arranged along a first direction. The two or more arched floats 11 are disposed on the inner side of the outer fabric 2. One end of the arched float 11 is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric 2, and the other end of the arched float 11 is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric 2. A first gap 12 is left between the middle section of the arched float 11 and the inner side of the outer fabric 2.

[0041] Inner fabric 1 is the side of the fabric that touches the skin;

[0042] In this embodiment, the inner fabric 1 is mainly composed of arched floats 11. The middle section of the arched floats 11 contacts the human skin to form an absorption and exhaust channel. Only the top of the arched structure contacts the skin, reducing the contact area between the inner fabric and the skin, resulting in good absorption and exhaust effect, reducing stickiness, and keeping the inner layer of the fabric dry.

[0043] Sweat is absorbed by the arched float 11, flows from the arched float 11 to the outer fabric 2, and is then discharged from the outer fabric 2.

[0044] The inner fabric 1 is woven from absorbent yarn 14, and the outer fabric 2 is woven from outer absorbent yarn.

[0045] In this embodiment, viewed from the front of the fabric, the front is normally woven, while the back is woven with float yarn. The structure of the float yarn is relatively loose, while the structure of the loops is more compact. The density of the float yarn should be greater than the density of the loops.

[0046] This allows sweat to flow from the inner fabric 1 to the outer fabric 2.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, two or more arched floats 11 are arranged in a vertical direction, and a second gap 13 is left between the top and bottom of two adjacent arched floats 11.

[0048] In this embodiment, a second gap 13 is provided between two adjacent arched floats 11, and the size of the multiple second gaps 13 is the same.

[0049] Thus, by leaving a second gap 13 between the two adjacent arched floats 11, the contact area between the inner fabric 1 and the skin is further reduced, and the air circulation on the surface of the inner fabric 1 is enhanced, allowing for rapid sweat absorption.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the yarn fiber fineness of the outer layer fabric is smaller than that of the inner layer fabric, which will have a capillary effect, guiding sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer, achieving single-channeling.

[0051] This facilitates the flow of sweat from the inner fabric 1 to the outer fabric 2.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the inner fabric 1 is woven from absorbent yarn 14, and the outer fabric 2 is woven from outer absorbent yarn.

[0053] Moisture-absorbing and moisture-wicking yarn is a type of yarn that has the functions of absorbing and wicking away moisture. Its principle is based on conventional technical means, and the specific principles will not be elaborated here.

[0054] The inner fabric 1 is designed to absorb sweat, while the outer fabric 2 is designed to wick away sweat.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the absorbent yarn 14 is interwoven with the outer fabric 2, and the absorbent yarn 14 forms two or more arched floats 11 and two or more second gaps 13 at intervals.

[0056] In this way, the absorbent yarn 14 is interwoven with the outer fabric 2 to form two or more arched floats 11 and two or more second gaps 13. There is no other fabric between the inner fabric 1 and the outer fabric 2, which facilitates the production of moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the suction and discharge yarn 14 is cross-shaped, Y-shaped, pentagonal, octagonal, or any combination of one or more thereof. Figure 3 As shown.

[0058] The cross-shaped cross-section absorbent yarn 14 possesses unique properties. This fiber shape has four distinct "wings," which makes the fiber stacking pattern within the yarn more complex. In terms of sweat absorption, the cross-shaped cross-section fiber has a larger surface area than the circular cross-section fiber, increasing the fabric's surface area, accelerating sweat evaporation, improving its quick-drying performance, and providing more moisture-wicking sites. The gaps between its four "wings" also provide channels for sweat diffusion, increasing the diffusion rate of sweat and enhancing the fabric's moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the fineness of the yarn fibers of the outer fabric 2 is smaller than that of the yarn fibers of the inner fabric 1.

[0060] Thus, since the yarn fibers of the outer fabric 2 are finer than those of the inner fabric 1, a capillary effect occurs, guiding sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer, achieving single-channel guidance.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the diameters of the two ends of the arched float 11 are equal to the diameter of the middle section of the arched float 11.

[0062] The two ends of the arched float 11 are the same size as the middle section of the arched float 11, which facilitates production.

[0063] This facilitates the formation of the arched float 11, which is integrally molded.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the inner fabric 1 includes two or more rows of arched floats 11, with a third gap 15 between the two rows of arched floats 11.

[0065] The third gap 15 between the two rows of arched floating lines 11 is the same size, which facilitates the production of the inner fabric 1.

[0066] Thus, as Figure 4 As shown, this conforms to the actual production situation of moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the inner fabric 1 further includes a support coil 16, which is connected to the inner side of the outer fabric 2, and the support coil 16 is located below the arched float 11.

[0068] The support coil 16 can be obtained through weaving methods such as needle pulling;

[0069] Thus, as Figure 2 As shown, the arched float 11 is supported by the support coil 16 to prevent the arched float 11 from collapsing, so that the inner fabric 1 adheres to the skin.

[0070] Unlike existing technologies, the technical solution of this application utilizes a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric comprising an inner layer fabric 1 and an outer layer fabric 2. The inner layer is the side of the fabric that touches the skin. The inner layer fabric 1 includes two or more arched floats 11, with both ends of the arched floats 11 connected to the inner side of the outer layer fabric 2. A first gap 12 is left between the middle section of the arched floats 11 and the inner side of the outer layer fabric 2. The two or more arched floats 11 are arranged vertically, with a second gap 13 between two adjacent arched floats 11. The inner layer fabric includes two or more rows of arched floats 11, with a third gap 15 between the two rows of arched floats 11.

[0071] The structure of the first gap 12, the second gap 13, and the third gap 15 makes the back of the fabric have multiple arc-shaped three-dimensional structures, which reduces the contact area between the inner layer of the fabric and the skin.

[0072] The structure of the first gap 12, the second gap 13, and the third gap 15 enhances the air circulation of the fabric. With good air circulation in the inner layer, the clothing is less likely to stick to the skin.

[0073] By connecting the inner and outer yarns, the outer fabric's yarn fibers are finer than the inner fabric's yarn fibers. This creates a capillary effect, guiding sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer. The sweat can be quickly released and evaporated, preventing the fabric from feeling stuffy and making the clothes less likely to stick to the body.

[0074] The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric in this embodiment can achieve single-channel moisture wicking and quick-drying, and will not stick to the body after sweating.

[0075] The implementation of single-layer conduction: By connecting the inner and outer yarns, the fineness of the outer fabric yarn fibers is smaller than that of the inner fabric yarn fibers. This creates a capillary effect, guiding sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer, thus achieving single-layer conduction.

[0076] The quick-drying and fast-drying properties are achieved through: 1. Yarn: Using profiled yarn to accelerate the diffusion and evaporation of sweat; 2. Structure: The fabric has a first, second, and third slit structure, with the first slit being a hollow structure, which improves the air circulation of the fabric. The surface area of ​​the multi-slit fabric is larger than that of the flat fabric, which accelerates the evaporation of sweat. The large fabric surface area, combined with enhanced air circulation, makes the fabric more moisture-wicking and quick-drying.

[0077] Achieving non-stickiness: 1. The first, second, and third slit structures create an arc-shaped three-dimensional structure on the back of the fabric. The inner fabric 1 includes two or more arched floats 11, with both ends of the arched floats 11 connected to the inner side of the outer fabric 2. A first slit 12 is left between the middle section of the arched floats 11 and the inner side of the outer fabric 2. The top of the arched structure contacts the skin. Combined with the second and third slits, this reduces the contact area between the inner fabric and the skin. 2. The first, second, and third slit structures enhance the airflow of the fabric. With good airflow in the inner layer, the clothing is less likely to stick to the skin. 3. This fabric has good moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly, preventing the fabric from feeling stuffy and making the clothing less likely to stick to the skin.

[0078] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this application and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
