Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textiles, and more specifically, to a breathable and moisture-wicking fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, unidirectional moisture-wicking fabrics often achieve their moisture-wicking effect by forming a multi-layer composite structure through double-layer fabrics. However, because the fabric is multi-layered, the air circulation space between the layers is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the fabric's breathability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a breathable and moisture-wicking fabric. The fabric is formed by fiber weaving, creating a front and back side. The front side has two striped areas formed by fiber weaving, while the back side has a flat fabric surface formed by fiber weaving. The back side uses alternating loops and is made of hydrophobic fibers, allowing for effective adsorption and transfer of moisture generated by the human body. Simultaneously, the micro-channels between the fibers increase the fabric's breathability. The vertical striped areas on the front side include raised strips and grooves. The grooves concentrate moisture, and the raised strips guide moisture formation, preventing diffusion and allowing it to be quickly and efficiently wicked away to the outside. The grooves have a certain depth, allowing air to circulate freely between the raised and recessed sections, thus increasing the fabric's breathability. In the serrated stripe area, because the serrations have multiple tips and are higher than the serrated base fabric, the contact points between the fibers of the serrated strip and the serrated base fabric are increased. This allows air to enter between the front fibers at different angles, thereby increasing the airflow within the fabric. Furthermore, due to the irregularity of the serrations, numerous microchannels are formed between the fibers in the serrated stripe area, allowing moisture from the reverse side to be quickly transferred to the outside, thus achieving both moisture wicking and increased breathability.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a breathable and moisture-wicking fabric, comprising a front area and a reverse area, wherein the front area comprises a first strip area and a second strip area, the first strip area comprises a raised strip area and a groove area, the raised strip area being higher than the groove area, and the second strip area comprises a serrated strip area and a serrated base fabric area, the serrated strip area being higher than the serrated base fabric area.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that, along the fabric width direction, the first strip area and the second strip area are arranged alternately, two adjacent second strip areas are arranged symmetrically, and the first strip area is located between two second strip areas.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the first strip area includes two convex strip areas and one groove area, and the groove area is located between the two convex strip areas.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the width of the convex strip area is greater than the width of the groove area.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the width of the convex strip area is equal to the width of the serrated strip area.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the fabric is woven in a cycle of 12 rows of coils, and within one weave cycle, the front area is woven in a cycle of 6 rows of coils, and the back area is woven in a cycle of 6 rows of coils.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh coils are woven in a horizontal row to form the front area, and the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth coils are woven in a horizontal row to form the reverse area.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh coil rows are made of hydrophilic fibers, and the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth coil rows are made of hydrophobic fibers.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The fabric is woven with fibers to form a front and back side. On the front side, vertical stripe areas and serrated stripe areas are created. The vertical stripe areas are formed by two raised strips and one groove. The hydrophilic fibers on the front side guide moisture, while the groove and raised strips concentrate the moisture, preventing its lateral diffusion. The height difference between the groove and raised strips increases airflow, thus enhancing breathability in the vertical stripe areas. In the serrated stripe areas, the multiple tips of the serrated raised strips, with the raised strips extending above the base, contribute to the breathability. The fabric increases the contact points between the serrated serrated strips and the serrated base fabric, creating numerous micropores that allow moisture to be quickly expelled from the reverse side. Furthermore, the irregular shape of the serrated strips allows air to enter from multiple angles, increasing breathability. On the reverse side, interwoven fibers form a smooth surface. The alternating loops and the weaving of hydrophobic fibers effectively absorb and transfer moisture generated by the body, maintaining the fabric's moisture-wicking and breathability.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment discloses a breathable and moisture-wicking fabric, including a front area 20 and a back area 30. The fabric is woven in a loop with 12 rows of loops. Within one weave loop, the front area 20 is woven in a loop of 6 rows of loops, and the back area 30 is woven in a loop of 6 rows of loops. The front area 20 is formed by the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th rows of loops, and the back area 30 is formed by the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th rows of loops. The coil rows are made of hydrophilic fibers, while the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th coil rows are made of hydrophobic fibers. Therefore, the hydrophobic fibers are woven into the reverse side 30 of the fabric, while the hydrophilic fibers are woven into the front side 20. When the human body produces moisture, the hydrophobic fibers in the reverse side 30 absorb the moisture onto the reverse side of the fabric. When the moisture in the reverse side 30 comes into contact with the recessed structure of the front side 20, because the front side 20 is made of hydrophilic fibers, the moisture can be quickly absorbed and discharged to the outside, thus keeping the human body dry.

Do not knit the 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 28th, 30th, and 32nd purl calf stitches. Knit the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, and 24th purl calf stitches into a circle. Knit the 10th, 12th, 16th, 26th, 30th, and 32nd purl calf stitches into a circle. Knit the 14th and 28th purl calf stitches as a float. Do not knit the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, and 31st purl calf stitches. This is because the 1st-8th purl calf stitches in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th loops are the same as the 17th-24th purl calf stitches, while the 9th-16th purl calf stitches are the same as the 25th-32nd purl calf stitches. To achieve symmetry, the front area 20 includes a first strip area 201 and a second strip area 202. In the first strip area 201, formed by the interlacing of the 1st to 8th high and low heel stitches in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th loop rows, all the low and high heel stitches form a raised strip area 2011, while all the low and high heel stitches form a recessed area 2012. Therefore, each first strip area 201 includes both a raised strip area 2011 and a recessed area 2012, and each first strip area 201 includes two raised strip areas 2011 and one recessed area 2012. Because the raised strip area 2011 is woven into loops, while the recessed area 2012 is not woven, the raised strip area 2011 is higher than the recessed area 2012.This allows the raised stripe area 2011 and the grooved area 2012 to more effectively transfer moisture generated by the human body. Because the grooved area 2012 is not woven but interspersed within the stitches of the raised stripe area 2011, it is located between the two raised stripe areas 2011. Therefore, the grooved area 2012 concentrates moisture more effectively than the raised stripe area 2011. Simultaneously, the raised stripe area 2011 guides the moisture formation, preventing lateral diffusion and allowing it to be concentrated and discharged to the outside. Furthermore, because the grooved area 2012 is located between the two raised stripe areas 2011 and has a certain depth, it increases the free flow of air between the grooved area 2012 and the raised stripe area 2011, thereby increasing the fabric's breathability.
[0021] In the second strip area 202 formed by the interlacing of the 9th to 16th high and low heel needles in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th coil rows, all the lower high heel needles and upper high heel needles are woven together to form a serrated strip area 2021, while all the lower low heel needles and upper low heel needles are woven together to form a serrated base fabric area 2022. Therefore, each second strip area 202 includes 2021 and the serrated base fabric area 2022. Because the serrated strip area 2021 is woven into loops, tucks, or floats, while the serrated base fabric area 2022 is not woven, the serrated strip area 2021 is higher than the serrated base fabric area. Zone 2022, because the second strip zone 202 is woven to form the serrated zone 2021, therefore, after the serrated zone 2021 is formed by yarn weaving, multiple sharp points are added, thereby increasing the contact area between the serrated zone 2021 and the serrated base fabric zone 2022, thus forming a large number of micropores between the serrated zone 2021 and the serrated base fabric zone 202. Therefore, the micropores can quickly expel the moisture generated by the human body, and because of the irregularity of the serrated zone 2021, air can circulate through the angle, thereby increasing the breathability of the fabric.
[0022] Because in the first strip area 201 formed by the interlacing of the upper and lower high and low heel needles of the 1st to 8th rows of coils in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th rows, all the lower high heel needles and upper high heel needles weave together to form a raised strip area 2011, while all the lower low heel needles and upper low heel needles weave together to form a recessed area 2012. Since, at the same density, the raised strip area 2011 is entirely coil-woven, while the recessed area 2012 is entirely unwoven, the raised strip area 2011 compresses the recessed area 2011, thus making the width of the raised strip area 2011 greater than the width of the recessed area 2012. In the second strip area 202 formed by the interlacing of the upper and lower high and low heel needles of the 9th to 16th rows of coils in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th rows, all the lower high heel needles and upper high heel needles weave together to form a serrated strip area 2021. Therefore, the widths of the raised strip area 2011 and the serrated strip area 2021 are equal, and the serrated strip area... The toothed stripe area 2021 forms a serrated shape after weaving, and the serration angle of the toothed stripe area 2021 is 135°. If the serration angle of the toothed stripe area 2021 is less than 90 degrees, the serrations of the toothed stripe area 2021 will be too concentrated, thus preventing the toothed stripe area 2021 from quickly wicking away moisture. If the serration angle of the toothed stripe area 2021 is greater than 150 degrees, the serrations of the toothed stripe area 2021 will be too large, thus preventing the toothed stripe area 2021 from concentrating and guiding moisture from multiple angles. Therefore, the toothed stripe area 2021 concentrates moisture through the toothed base fabric area 2022, and the toothed stripe area 2021 wicks away moisture from multiple directions through the serrations, thus making the fabric dry faster. The raised stripe area 2011 works in conjunction with the toothed stripe area 2021 to concentrate and wick away moisture from multiple directions, thus increasing the overall moisture wicking and breathability of the fabric.
[0023] Along the fabric width, the first stripe area 201 and the second stripe area 202 are arranged alternately, with adjacent second stripe areas 202 arranged symmetrically. The first stripe area 201 is located between the two second stripe areas 202. Because both the first stripe area 201 and the second stripe area 202 are made of hydrophilic fibers, while the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th loop rows are made of hydrophobic fibers, and these loop rows form the reverse side area 30 of the fabric. Since the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th loop rows are all woven with low-heeled stitches, the reverse side area 30 formed by the hydrophobic fiber weaving absorbs moisture, while the front side area 20 uses hydrophilic fibers. Because the grooved area 2012, the serrated base fabric area 2022, and the reverse area 30 are close together, the grooved area 2012 and the serrated base fabric area 2022 concentrate moisture absorption, thereby partially expelling the moisture to the outside through the grooved area 2012 and the serrated base fabric area 2022, and partially adsorbing and expelling it through the raised strip area 2011 and the serrated strip area 2021. This prevents the front area 20 from becoming saturated due to moisture absorption, allowing the fabric to continuously achieve one-way moisture wicking, thus keeping the body dry. Furthermore, the regular raised strip area 2011 and the irregular serrated strip area 2021 increase the micropores of the fabric, thereby increasing the internal air circulation space of the fabric and increasing the breathability of the fabric.
