Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing, and more particularly to a sportswear garment. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the body's need for sweating during exercise, sportswear typically needs to have a certain degree of moisture-wicking properties. However, existing sportswear cannot meet this requirement for rapid sweat evaporation. Even sportswear made with quick-drying fabrics often suffers from excessively large sweat droplets, preventing sweat from evaporating quickly and resulting in a strong feeling of moisture on the skin. This is especially true for the waist and abdomen, where the trapped sweat can cause extreme discomfort, affecting the exercise experience and making one more susceptible to catching a cold or experiencing diarrhea.

[0003] Therefore, how to achieve rapid sweat removal has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide sportswear to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] According to an embodiment of this application, a sports garment is provided, comprising: a main body portion that covers corresponding body parts; a reinforcing portion that connects to the main body portion and contacts the skin of the body parts requiring enhanced protection; the reinforcing portion includes: a mesh layer, the first surface of which contacts the skin and includes multiple three-dimensional microspaces; and a moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer, the first surface of which is disposed outside the second surface of the mesh layer and contacts the air; the three-dimensional microspaces allow sweat produced by the skin to circulate within them, using the body's heat energy to heat large sweat particles into smaller water vapor particles and form water vapor that moves towards the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer, which absorbs the water vapor.

[0006] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the plurality of three-dimensional microspaces are arranged in a honeycomb pattern.

[0007] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the honeycomb arrangement includes a plurality of regular or irregular hexagonal holes.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the diameter of the hexagonal holes varies. If the part of the human body that needs enhanced protection is the waist, the diameter of the hexagonal holes closer to the navel is smaller.

[0009] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the six edges of the hexagonal aperture are in contact with the skin of the human body, while the aperture itself is not in contact with the skin of the human body.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the mesh layer is the same size as the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer and is fixed around its perimeter.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the mesh layer is disposed at the navel position and fixed around the perimeter to the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments of this application, a connecting and fixing part is further included between the mesh layer and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer, the connecting and fixing part being used to fix the connection relationship between the mesh layer and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the reinforcing part further includes: an intermediate layer disposed between the mesh layer and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer, for absorbing the moisture in the mesh layer.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the intermediate layer further includes a plurality of breathable grooves, which correspond to the three-dimensional microspace to form a breathable channel for discharging the moisture to the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer.

[0015] This application embodiment of sportswear includes a main body and a reinforcing part. The reinforcing part includes a mesh layer with a first surface in contact with the skin and a moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer disposed on the outer side of a second surface of the mesh layer. The mesh layer includes multiple three-dimensional micro-spaces, which allow sweat produced by the skin to circulate within them. The body's heat energy is used to heat large sweat particles into smaller water vapor particles, which then move towards the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer, which absorbs the water vapor. This application embodiment of sportswear utilizes the one-way moisture-wicking properties of the mesh layer. The mesh layer does not absorb sweat and does not contain water, ensuring a dry feel upon contact with the skin. Its three-dimensional micro-spaces utilize the body's heat energy to heat large sweat particles into smaller water vapor particles, which then evaporate more quickly to the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer, thereby accelerating the absorption and evaporation of the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0023] The specific implementation of the embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This application provides a sportswear garment, see [link / reference] Figure 1 The sportswear includes:

[0025] Main body 2, which wraps around the corresponding human body part.

[0026] Reinforcing part 1 connects to main body part 2 and comes into contact with the skin 3 of the part of the human body that needs enhanced protection.

[0027] See Figure 2 —— Figure 3 Strengthening Part 1 includes:

[0028] The mesh layer 11 has a first surface that contacts the skin 3, and the mesh layer 11 includes a plurality of three-dimensional microspaces 111.

[0029] The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12 has its first surface disposed outside the second surface of the mesh layer 11, and the second surface of the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12 is in contact with air.

[0030] The three-dimensional microspace 111 allows the sweat produced by the skin 3 to circulate within it. The body's heat energy is used to heat large sweat particles into smaller water vapor particles and form water vapor that moves towards the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12. The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12 is used to absorb water vapor.

[0031] The sportswear in this application utilizes the one-way moisture-wicking properties of the mesh layer 11. The mesh layer 11 does not absorb sweat or contain water, ensuring that there is no watery feeling when in contact with the skin. Its three-dimensional microspace uses the body's heat energy to heat large sweat particles into smaller water vapor particles, which then evaporate more quickly to the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer 12, thereby accelerating the absorption and evaporation of the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer.

[0032] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, the multiple three-dimensional microspaces 111 are arranged in a honeycomb pattern.

[0033] The honeycomb arrangement provides more space for sweat droplets to evaporate more quickly and reach the moisture-wicking layer, thus accelerating the absorption and evaporation of the moisture-wicking layer.

[0034] Specifically, the honeycomb arrangement includes multiple regular or irregular hexagonal holes.

[0035] The geometric structure of hexagonal pores effectively increases the contact area between moisture and air, thus promoting evaporation. Compared to circular pores, hexagonal pores can accommodate more gaps per unit area while reducing ineffective space between pores. This structure not only improves the efficiency of moisture diffusion but also enhances airflow, further accelerating the evaporation process. The shape of the hexagonal pores prevents moisture from accumulating in the pores and avoids the formation of large droplets. This design allows moisture to diffuse more easily through the pores to the fabric surface, rather than remaining trapped within them. This characteristic is particularly important for maintaining the dryness and comfort of fabrics, especially during activity or in high-temperature environments.

[0036] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, the diameter of the hexagonal holes is different. If the part of the human body that needs to be reinforced is the waist, the diameter of the hexagonal holes closer to the navel is smaller.

[0037] The abdomen (especially around the navel) is a relatively vulnerable area of ​​the body and requires more meticulous protection. Smaller pores provide denser protection, preventing fine particles or liquids from entering and thus better protecting the abdomen from external harm. Generally, the smaller the pore size, the higher the protective performance. Smaller pores can effectively block finer particles or liquids, reducing potential harm to sensitive areas.

[0038] In lumbar protective gear, using hexagonal perforations with adjusted diameters based on their location is a sound design strategy. The closer to the navel, the smaller the perforations, providing more precise protection while maintaining breathability and comfort. This design, based on ergonomics and protective needs, effectively improves the performance of the protective gear.

[0039] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, the six edges of the hexagonal hole are in contact with the human skin, but the hole itself is not in contact with the human skin.

[0040] The hexagonal perforation design ensures that its six edges contact the skin, while the perforations themselves do not directly touch the skin. This design effectively distributes pressure, reduces localized skin pressure, and provides excellent breathability and comfort.

[0041] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12 are the same size and are fixed around the perimeter.

[0042] By fixing the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12 to be the same size, sweat can be quickly conducted from the moisture-wicking layer to the mesh layer and evaporate rapidly through the breathable structure of the mesh layer. This design utilizes the capillary effect, allowing moisture to quickly diffuse from the skin contact surface to the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12. Because the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12 are the same size and fixed at all four sides, pressure can be evenly distributed, reducing localized pressure on the skin. Fixing the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12 improves the stability of the overall structure and reduces deformation caused by movement or friction. This design not only improves the durability of the garment but also extends the product's lifespan. The mesh structure of the mesh layer 11 reduces material usage without sacrificing strength, achieving lightweight design.

[0043] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, the mesh layer 11 is disposed at the navel position and is fixed around the perimeter to the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12.

[0044] The fixed design of the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12 can evenly distribute pressure and reduce local pressure on the skin, making it especially suitable for sensitive areas such as around the navel. The design of the mesh layer 11 positioned at the navel and fixed to the moisture-wicking quick-drying layer 12 significantly improves moisture-wicking performance, wearing comfort, and structural stability. This design, through optimized materials and structure, achieves one-way moisture wicking, rapid evaporation, and breathability.

[0045] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, a connecting and fixing part is further included between the mesh layer 11 and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12. The connecting and fixing part is used to fix the connection relationship between the mesh layer and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer.

[0046] The connecting and fixing part enhances the stability of the overall structure by fixing the mesh layer 11 to the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12. This fixing method can prevent relative displacement or deformation of the two layers during use, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0047] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The reinforcement section 1 also includes:

[0048] Intermediate layer 13 is located between the mesh layer and the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer, and is used to absorb moisture in the mesh layer.

[0049] The intermediate layer 13 can absorb moisture from the mesh layer 11, further promoting the conduction of moisture from the moisture-wicking and quick-drying layer 12 to the mesh layer 11, and then rapidly evaporating through the breathable structure of the mesh layer. This design utilizes the capillary differential effect, enabling moisture to be conducted more efficiently from the inner layer to the outer layer, thereby significantly improving the moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance.

[0050] In some specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, see specifically, see Figure 5 The intermediate layer 13 also includes multiple ventilation grooves 131, which are used to combine with the three-dimensional microspace 111 to expand the space for air circulation. The two work together better to form a continuous ventilation channel, which discharges the adsorbed water vapor to the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying layer 12.

[0051] This design not only improves breathability but also reduces the direct contact area between the fabric and the skin, increasing air circulation and further enhancing wearing comfort.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the embodiments of this application, and the patent protection scope of the embodiments of this application should be defined by the claims.
