Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] There are many exquisite embossed fabrics on the market. Checkered fabric is one type of embossed fabric texture. Its inherent checkered pattern makes clothing simple yet not monotonous, making it very popular with consumers. Checkered fabric is made by spraying a silicone coating onto the fabric layer. After the silicone coating dries, the fabric layer is embossed at high temperature using embossing equipment. The embossing mold applies high temperature and pressure to the fabric layer to soften the silicone coating. The pressure then precisely transfers the texture from the mold to the fabric surface, causing plastic deformation in both the silicone coating and the fabric surface, creating a durable raised texture.

[0003] Nylon fibers contain hydrophilic groups such as amide groups in their molecular structure, giving them a certain degree of hygroscopicity. This allows them to absorb sweat and moisture from the skin's surface, keeping the skin dry. Simultaneously, nylon's relatively dense fiber structure allows for rapid moisture transfer within the fiber, and its smooth surface facilitates the spread of moisture, promoting quick evaporation of sweat and achieving a quick-drying effect. While spraying a silicone coating onto a nylon fabric layer increases its skin-friendliness, the silicone coating adheres to the nylon fiber surface, affecting the nylon's hygroscopic and quick-drying properties, thus impacting the overall breathability of the fabric layer.

[0004] The silicone coating softens and deforms under high temperature and pressure, forming a raised texture consistent with the embossing. Once the silicone coating cools, the raised texture also cools and sets, which helps maintain the permanent shape of the raised texture on the fabric layer. While spraying the silicone coating onto the fabric layer increases its skin-friendliness and helps with texture setting, it also affects the overall breathability of the fabric layer, reducing its moisture absorption and quick-drying properties.

[0005] To reduce the impact of silicone material application on the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of the fabric, this paper proposes a checkered fabric that can maintain the skin-friendly and durable shaping properties of the layer after silicone application, while reducing the influence of silicone on the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of the fabric layer. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying embossed woven fabric to improve the moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of woven fabric.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a moisture-wicking and quick-drying embossed checkered fabric, comprising a fabric body, wherein the fabric body is formed by alternating loop knitting of a first yarn group and a second yarn group on a woven layer; the first yarn group includes one or two first yarns, and the second yarn group includes one or two second yarns; the first yarn is a first core-spun yarn with a nylon sheath covering a spandex core layer; the second yarn includes a second core-spun yarn with a nylon sheath covering a spandex core layer, and the surface of the second core-spun yarn is coated with a silicone outer layer when stretched; the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are identical; the ply diameter of the second yarn is greater than that of the first yarn; and the fabric body is embossed at high temperature to form a raised checkered texture.

[0008] A further improvement is that the first yarn group consists of two first yarns.

[0009] A further improvement is that the second yarn group consists of two second yarns.

[0010] A further improvement is that the denier of the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are both 20D, 30D, or 40D.

[0011] A further improvement is that the denier of both the first and second core-spun yarns is 70D, 80D, or 90D.

[0012] A further improvement is that the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 5-15 μm.

[0013] A further improvement is that the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 15-25 μm.

[0014] A further improvement is that the denier of the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are both 30D, and the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 8μm.

[0015] A further improvement is that the denier of the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are both 70D, and the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 16μm.

[0016] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. Compared with the existing technology of directly spraying liquid silicone onto the fabric surface, the moisture absorption, quick-drying and shaping effects of the fabric body in this case are all superior to the existing technology. Moreover, after the fabric is knitted by a circular knitting machine, it can be directly cut open and embossed and then rolled up in one go, which optimizes the process and shortens the production cycle.

[0018] 2. The silicone coating is applied to the surface of the second core-spun yarn without affecting the moisture absorption and quick-drying effect of the first yarn group. The silicone outer layer is longitudinally distributed, which is beneficial for increasing the amount of silicone used and improving the setting effect, while reducing its distribution area, accelerating the quick-drying of nylon fibers, and improving moisture absorption and quick-drying performance.

[0019] 3. The first and second yarns are knitted alternately on the knitted loops and evenly distributed, which is conducive to the uniform moisture absorption of the first yarn. The silicone outer layer of the second yarn is also evenly distributed on the fabric body, and the silicone is intermittently distributed on the fabric to leave enough breathable gaps, which greatly improves breathability and ensures the fabric's dry and skin-friendly performance in all aspects.

[0020] 4. The first and second yarn groups are knitted alternately in loops, and the diameter of the second yarn is larger than that of the first yarn. This ensures that when the yarn is in contact with the skin, the silicone layer on the second yarn contacts the skin first, giving full play to the skin-friendly properties of the silicone material and improving the comfort during use.

[0021] 5. Applying the silicone coating to the surface of the second core-spun yarn simplifies the fabric processing compared to spraying it directly onto the surface layer. Embossing can be performed without waiting for the liquid silicone to dry completely, thus shortening the processing cycle. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the knitting details of the first yarn group and the second yarn group in a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying embossed checkered fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the black yarn is the first yarn group and the red yarn is the second yarn group. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model discloses a moisture-wicking and quick-drying embossed checkered fabric, comprising a fabric body 10. The fabric body 10 is formed by alternating loop knitting of a first yarn group 12 11 and a second yarn group 14 13 on a woven layer. The first yarn group 12 11 includes two first yarns 12, and the second yarn group 14 13 includes two second yarns 14. The first yarn 12 is a first core-spun yarn with a nylon sheath covering a spandex core layer. The second yarn 14 includes a second core-spun yarn with a nylon sheath covering a spandex core layer. The surface of the second core-spun yarn is coated with a silicone outer layer when stretched. The first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are identical. The ply diameter of the second yarn 14 is larger than that of the first yarn 12, so that the fabric body 10 is formed by densely alternating knitting of the first yarn 12 and the second yarn 14. When in contact with the skin, the silicone layer on the second yarn 14 contacts the skin before the first yarn 12, so as to exert the skin-friendly effect of the silicone material and improve comfort. The fabric body 10 is embossed at high temperature to form a raised and recessed square pattern 15.

[0027] Option 1: When the denier of the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are both 20D, 30D, or 40D, the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 5-15μm. Preferably, the denier of the first core-spun yarn and the second core-spun yarn are both 30D, and the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 8μm. The fabric body woven using Option 1 is mostly used to process shirts, T-shirts, polo shirts, and other apparel.

[0028] Option 2: When the denier of the first and second core-spun yarns are both 70D, 80D, and 90D, the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 15-25μm. Preferably, the denier of the first and second core-spun yarns are both 70D, and the thickness of the silicone outer layer is 16μm. The fabric body woven using Option 2 is mostly used to process autumn outerwear and other garments. The higher the denier of the core-spun yarn, the greater the fabric thickness, the better the self-shaping effect, and the less silicone is needed for auxiliary shaping.

[0029] Applying silicone directly to the surface requires a balance between the fabric's moisture absorption, quick-drying, and breathability. The silicone coating must be applied evenly but not too thickly, which places high demands on the processing. Furthermore, the liquid silicone coating needs to be completely dry before embossing can be done, resulting in a long processing cycle.

[0030] Applying a silicone coating to the surface of the second core-spun yarn does not affect the moisture absorption and quick-drying effect of the first yarn group 12 11. The silicone material is intermittently distributed on the fabric body 10, leaving sufficient air permeability gaps. The outer silicone layer is distributed longitudinally into the thickness space of the fabric body 10 as the second yarn 14 is knitted. While increasing the amount of silicone and improving the shaping effect, it can also reduce the area of ​​silicone material distributed on the fabric body 10, which is beneficial to improving the air permeability of the fabric body 10, accelerating the quick-drying of nylon fibers, and improving the moisture absorption and quick-drying performance of the fabric.

[0031] The first yarn 12 and the second yarn 14 are knitted alternately on the knitting loops, so that the first yarn 12 and the second yarn 14 are evenly distributed on the fabric body 10. The first yarn 12 absorbs moisture evenly, and the silicone outer layer on the second yarn 14 is also evenly distributed on the fabric body 10, thus preserving the skin-friendly effect of the fabric.

[0032] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, it can also be: the first yarn group includes one first yarn, and the second yarn group includes one second yarn; or, the first yarn group includes two first yarns, and the second yarn group includes one second yarn.

[0033] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the nylon content in the first core-spun yarn and the spandex content in the second core-spun yarn are approximately 70% and 30%, respectively.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions above are only illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
