[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of personal safety protection technology, specifically relating to an elastic, flame-retardant, antistatic, and arc-resistant single-sided fleece fabric. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of industry and technology, the requirements for fabrics are also increasing. In many fields, such as fire protection, power, and chemical industry, workers face potential dangers such as fire, electrostatic discharge, and electric arc. Traditional single-sided fleece fabrics have limitations in some aspects. For example, they may lack elasticity, restricting the wearer's freedom of movement; their flame-retardant properties may be insufficient, failing to effectively prevent the spread of fire; their antistatic ability is poor, easily accumulating static electricity and causing spark discharge; and they also have inadequate protection against electric arc.
[0003] Therefore, developing a single-sided fleece fabric with elasticity, flame retardancy, antistatic properties, and arc resistance is of great significance. It will provide better protection for workers in related fields, reduce safety risks, and improve work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0028] 1. This fabric has a unique and stylish surface, making it suitable for protective crew neck sweaters in autumn and winter. Its fleece structure provides excellent warmth.
[0029] 2. Outstanding flame-retardant and antistatic properties: Because it uses permanently flame-retardant materials, washing will not affect the fabric's flame-retardant and antistatic properties. The main components of this fabric are flame-retardant acrylic fiber and long-staple cotton, with conductive fibers added during the spinning process. The flame-retardant acrylic fiber has a limiting oxygen index of 32%, combined with the natural cellulose fiber long-staple cotton, ensuring the fabric has excellent flame-retardant and arc-resistant properties. The addition of a small amount of conductive fibers during the spinning process gives the fabric a certain degree of antistatic capability.
[0030] 3. Structurally, this utility model selects a single-sided fleece weave, which is different from conventional weaves. Under the same weight, the single-sided fleece fabric is thicker and more three-dimensional, with more contact with air and can retain more air, giving the fabric better heat insulation performance; the surface layer carbonizes faster when exposed to flames or electric arcs to form a protective layer, which can better protect the inside of the fabric and the skin from damage.
[0031] 4. This fabric is flame retardant and has good antistatic properties. It has passed the tests of European flame retardant standards EN11612, EN14116 and EN11611, and has a calorific value of up to 17.16 cal under the European arc protection standard IEC-61482. Attached Figure Description

The symbol × indicates a loop formation point, the symbol · indicates a tucked loop formation point, and a space indicates a floating line position point. Detailed Implementation
[0035] The following non-limiting embodiments are intended to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an elastic flame-retardant, antistatic, and arc-resistant single-sided fleece fabric includes a top layer 1, a middle layer 2, and a bottom layer 3. The middle layer 2 connects the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 3 respectively. The bottom layer 3 has a fleece surface on its lower surface.
[0038] The fabric is woven from blended yarn using a thread-knitting process. The blended yarn consists of 55% modified flame-retardant acrylic fiber, 43% cotton fiber, and 2% conductive fiber. The spinning method is compact Sirospun. The fabric weight is 310 g / m². 2 .
[0039] The modified flame-retardant acrylic fiber (high-resistance acrylic staple fiber from Hangzhou Shenghong Textile Technology Co., Ltd.) in the blended yarn of the fabric has a fineness of 1.33 DTEX, a fiber length of 38 mm, and a limiting oxygen index of 32%. It is a flame-retardant fiber that will not burn immediately upon contact with a flame and will stop burning immediately after being removed from the flame and is not prone to afterburning.

The specific processing steps for the fabric are as follows: Two sections of knit needles and two sections of purl needles are selected. Based on the fabric structure requirements, the knit needles are arranged in a 1,2 pattern, and the purl needles in a 1,2 pattern (a 1,2 pattern is a two-needle cycle, i.e., 1 stitch followed by 2 stitches, 2 stitches followed by 1 stitch). The following needles are not in operation (float yarn) and are in operation (loop formation).
[0046] First row: 32S flame retardant yarn, knitting needles are not working in section 1 of the purl stitch, knitting needles are working in section 2 of the purl stitch, knitting needles are working in section 1 of the knit stitch, and knitting needles are not working in section 2 of the knit stitch.
[0047] Second row: 32S flame retardant yarn, knit in loops with the first knitting needle, knit in loops with the second knitting needle (no work, floating yarn), knit in loops with the first knitting needle, knit in loops with the second knitting needle (no work).
[0048] Third row: 16S flame retardant yarn, the first and second sections of the purl needles are not working, and the first and second sections of the knitting needles are working.

[0052] The resulting fabric structure is as follows Figure 3 As shown: × represents a circled point, · represents a clustered point, and spaces represent floating lines.
[0053] The first row corresponds to two working stitches in the knitting pattern; the second row corresponds to one working stitch in the knitting pattern; the third row corresponds to two working stitches in the purling pattern; and the fourth row corresponds to one working stitch in the purling pattern.
[0054] The blended yarn is woven into a three-layer fabric using the above method. Further processing is required, and the process flow is as follows: batching – loading – degreasing – acid / cationic co-bath – reduction cleaning – reactive dyeing – soaping – cotton color fixing – intermediate fixing – soaping – acid color fixing – wet friction treatment – finished product setting – finished product inspection – outsourced single-sided napping – soaping – drying and setting; among which, after soaping, a cooling water wash is performed until the water is clear; the setting temperature for color fixing is controlled at around 90 degrees Celsius.
