Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a type of fabric, and more particularly to a swimsuit fabric with waterproof function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many swimsuit fabrics on the market do not have waterproof properties. To fill this gap, some swimsuit fabrics with waterproof functions have emerged, mainly falling into the following two categories:

[0003] One type achieves waterproofing by adding waterproofing agents during the dyeing and finishing process. This type of fabric generally suffers from a significant weakening or loss of waterproofing after several regular washes, especially noticeable in swimwear fabrics that are soaked in water for extended periods.

[0004] Another type uses conventional nylon 6 or polyester waterproof yarn as raw materials. The finished fabric has a better waterproof effect after washing than that with added waterproofing agents. However, because the yarn itself is not waterproof enough, the waterproof effect before washing is not as good as that with added waterproofing agents. Therefore, the waterproof effect of existing swimwear fabrics with waterproofing functions is not good, and the waterproof effect decreases significantly after washing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof swimwear fabric that can solve at least one of the above problems.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a swimsuit fabric with waterproof function is provided, comprising a fabric body, the fabric body being composed of a face yarn and a padding yarn, the face yarn being made of 40D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof DTY yarn, and the padding yarn being made of 40D super strong anti-chlorinated Lycra, the fabric body being constructed with a weft plain knit structure consisting of one yarn per needle forming a complete cycle, and the yarn arrangement of the fabric body being: one cycle per yarn.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using a single needle and a single yarn to form a complete cycle of plain weft knitting structure for the face yarn and the padding yarn, the fabric structure is made compact, improving the waterproof effect. At the same time, by using 40D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof DTY yarn as the face yarn, the face yarn has a good waterproof effect, increasing the waterproof time of the fabric. Moreover, there is no need to add waterproofing agents to the fabric, so the waterproof effect will not be significantly weakened, resulting in good waterproof performance.

[0008] In some implementations, the needle arrangement of the fabric body is such that all needles in the cylinder are arranged in a first-order needle configuration. This facilitates the weaving of the fabric body.

[0009] In some implementations, the yarn feed of the fabric body is as follows: calculated based on the length of 100 loops, the feed length of the 340D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof DTY surface yarn is 19cm, and the feed length of the 40D super chlorine-resistant lining yarn is 7cm. This ensures the weaving effect of the fabric body while meeting the elasticity requirements of the fabric.

[0010] In some implementations, the surface yarn and the padding yarn are woven in a plain weft stitch pattern in the fabric body. This facilitates fabric weaving and improves the density of the weave.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fabric body's finishing specifications are: width 150-152cm, weight 180g / m². 2 This makes the entire fabric lighter, avoiding a bulky feel. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 It is a triangular pattern woven into a waterproof swimwear fabric. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Reference Figure 1 A waterproof swimwear fabric includes a fabric body composed of a face yarn and a padding yarn. The face yarn is made of 40D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof yarn (DTY, Draw texturing yarn), and the padding yarn is made of 40D super-strong chlorine-resistant Lycra. The fabric body is constructed using a plain weft knitting structure with one yarn per needle forming a complete cycle. The yarn arrangement of the fabric body is one cycle per yarn.

[0015] Therefore, through the above-mentioned organizational structure and yarn arrangement, the fabric body is woven with a tight structure, which improves the waterproof effect, has a good sun protection effect, and strong wrapping effect; at the same time, combined with the corresponding surface yarn and padding yarn, the fabric body has the functions of anti-pilling and super resistance to chlorine water corrosion.

[0016] The outer layer yarn is made of 40D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof DTY yarn, giving the yarn itself excellent waterproof properties. Therefore, no waterproofing additives are needed during the fabric's manufacturing process, resulting in a more durable waterproof effect that remains largely unaffected before washing and after 30-50 washes. Simultaneously, the lining yarn uses 40D ultra-strong chlorine-resistant Lycra, giving the fabric superior resistance to chlorine corrosion.

[0017] The needle arrangement of the fabric body is as follows: all needles in the cylinder are arranged in level 1. When knitting the fabric body, a 44-needle, 34-inch, 102-track weft knitting single-sided circular knitting machine is selected, and the knitting speed is 10-12 revolutions per minute.

[0018] The yarn feed of the fabric body is as follows: calculated based on the length of 100 loops, the yarn feed length of the surface yarn 40D / 34F high-elastic matte nylon 66 waterproof yarn DTY is 19cm, and the yarn feed length of the padding yarn 40D super chlorine-resistant Lycra is 7cm.

[0019] In the fabric body, the surface yarn and the padding yarn are woven in a weft plain knit structure.

[0020] The fabric's specifications after finishing are: width 150-152cm, weight 180g / m². 2 .

[0021] Therefore, through the fabric's structure, yarn arrangement, needle arrangement, and the coordination of the various yarns, the fabric exhibits excellent waterproof performance and good elasticity. The following performance tests were conducted on the fabric:

[0022] ISO tests were conducted under standard laboratory conditions of 20℃ and 65% humidity. The fabric's dry rubbing fastness was ≥3-4, wet rubbing fastness was ≥3, wash fastness (color change) was ≥3-4, staining was ≥3, and water fastness (color change) was ≥3-4, staining was ≥3. Tensile testing was performed using BS EN 14704-120N. The fabric's elongation was 180% in the warp and 130% in the weft, with a recovery rate of 87% in the warp and 97% in the weft, and a modulus (40%) of 0.9N in the warp and 1.6N in the weft. ASTM D3939 tests were used to test for snags, with a grade of 4 in both the warp and weft. GB / T 4802.1E tests were used to test for pilling, with a grade of 4-5 in both the warp and weft. The sample was sent to a notary office for testing of UV resistance and cooling sensation. The UV resistance was tested according to GB / T 18830-2009, and the result was UPF 268, which is greater than 50, and UVA 3.17, which is less than 5. The cooling sensation was tested according to GB / T35263-2017, and the result was 0.20J / (CM2*S), which is greater than 0.15J / (CM2*S).

[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
