Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain structure technology, and in particular to a curtain body and curtain. Background Technology

[0002] Curtains are becoming increasingly important in people's lives. They not only serve to block light and provide privacy, but also decorate and beautify homes. Therefore, people have higher and higher demands for the functionality and aesthetics of curtains.

[0003] There are many types and styles of curtains. According to their structure, current curtains include Roman blinds, pleated blinds, honeycomb blinds, and zebra blinds. Among them, zebra blinds have multiple alternating light-transmitting and light-blocking zones. The light transmittance of the light-blocking zones is less than that of the light-transmitting zones, thus giving the curtain a structure similar to zebra stripes.

[0004] Currently, zebra blinds are generally made using a textile process. This involves a dense weave (with threads closely spaced) in the light-blocking area to create an opaque, solid structure, and a loose weave (with gaps between threads) in the light-transmitting area to create a light-transmitting mesh structure (see patents such as CN118835374A for details). However, this manufacturing process is complex, requires sophisticated production equipment, and results in high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a curtain body that has a simple manufacturing process and low production cost.

[0006] This utility model provides a curtain body, which includes a mesh screen with multiple openings and multiple fabric layers. The mesh screen has multiple light-transmitting areas and multiple light-blocking areas, which are arranged alternately along the height direction of the mesh screen. The multiple fabric layers are respectively composited and fixed to the surface of each of the light-blocking areas of the mesh screen.

[0007] In one feasible approach, the fabric layer has a dense structure, and the light transmittance of the fabric layer is less than that of the yarn mesh.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the fabric layer is bonded to the surface of the light-blocking area of ​​the mesh via an adhesive layer.

[0009] In one feasible approach, the surface of the fabric layer and the light-shielding area of ​​the mesh are joined by ultrasonic bonding.

[0010] In one feasible approach, the fabric layer and the surface of the light-blocking area of ​​the mesh are joined by thermo-pressing.

[0011] In one feasible manner, the fabric layer is provided on one side of each of the light-shielding areas of the mesh along the thickness direction of the mesh;

[0012] Alternatively, along the thickness direction of the mesh, the fabric layer is provided on the surfaces of each of the light-blocking areas of the mesh on opposite sides.

[0013] In one possible implementation, all of the multiple fabric layers are made of the same material; or, at least some of the multiple fabric layers are made of different materials.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the fabric layer has the same shape as the light-transmitting area, and the width of the fabric layer is greater than or equal to the width of the light-transmitting area along the height direction of the mesh.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the fabric layer is a rectangular structure extending along the width direction of the mesh; or, the fabric layer is a wavy structure extending along the width direction of the mesh; or, the fabric layer is a serrated structure extending along the width direction of the mesh.

[0016] This utility model also provides a curtain, including the curtain body as described above.

[0017] The curtain provided by this utility model achieves its effect by laminating a fabric layer onto the surface of each light-blocking area of ​​the mesh, resulting in a lower light transmittance in the light-blocking areas compared to the light-transmitting areas. This structure not only provides excellent light-blocking performance and aesthetic appeal but also features a simple structure, easy manufacturing process, low requirements for production equipment, and low production costs. Furthermore, the curtain's structural design offers good versatility; the shape and material of the fabric layer can be flexibly adjusted to meet diverse design needs, thus reducing design costs. Moreover, the fabric layer can be non-rectangular, meaning both the light-blocking and light-transmitting areas are non-rectangular, allowing for the creation of curtains with various patterns.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0025] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification and claims of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," and "bottom" (if present) used in the specification and claims of this utility model are defined according to the position of the structures in the drawings and the relative positions of the structures, and are only for the purpose of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the curtain body provided in this embodiment of the present invention is used for curtains, especially for zebra blinds; the curtain body includes a mesh 1 with multiple mesh openings 10 and multiple fabric layers 2. Figure 1 The shaded area in the diagram represents fabric layer 2. The mesh 1 has a rectangular structure and has a height direction H, a width direction W, and a thickness direction T that are perpendicular to each other. Multiple mesh openings 10 are arranged in an array on the mesh 1 along the height direction H and the width direction W.

[0028] The mesh 1 has multiple light-transmitting areas 1A and multiple light-blocking areas 1B. Both light-transmitting areas 1A and light-blocking areas 1B extend continuously along the width direction W of the mesh 1. The multiple light-transmitting areas 1A and multiple light-blocking areas 1B are alternately arranged along the height direction H of the mesh 1 (i.e., arranged in the manner of light-transmitting area 1A-light-blocking area 1B-light-transmitting area 1A-light-blocking area 1B… or in the manner of light-blocking area 1B-light-transmitting area 1A-light-blocking area 1B-light-transmitting area 1A…). The fabric layer 2 and the mesh 1 are separate structures (i.e., they are not formed into one piece through weaving). Multiple fabric layers 2 are respectively bonded and fixed to the surface of each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1, while no fabric layer 2 is provided in each light-transmitting area 1A of the mesh 1. Therefore, the light transmittance of the light-blocking area 1B of the curtain is less than that of the light-transmitting area 1A.

[0029] The curtain provided by this utility model is constructed by laminating a fabric layer 2 onto the surface of each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1, making the light transmittance of the light-blocking area 1B less than that of the light-transmitting area 1A, thus obtaining the curtain. This type of curtain not only has good light-blocking performance and high aesthetic appeal, but also features a simple structure, simple manufacturing process, and low requirements for production equipment (conventional lamination equipment is sufficient), resulting in lower production costs. Furthermore, the structural design of this curtain is highly versatile; the shape and material of the fabric layer 2 can be flexibly adjusted to meet different design needs, which helps reduce design costs. Moreover, the shape of the fabric layer 2 can be a non-rectangular structure, meaning that both the light-blocking area 1B and the light-transmitting area 1A are non-rectangular, thus allowing for the creation of curtains with various patterns (currently, textile methods generally only allow for the production of curtains with rectangular light-blocking and light-transmitting areas).

[0030] In one implementation, the mesh size and aperture of the gauze 1 can be set according to actual needs. The fabric layer 2 is a dense structure with low light transmittance or no light transmission (e.g., fabric layer 2 is a textile fabric with tightly packed threads). The light transmittance of fabric layer 2 is lower than that of gauze 1, thus ensuring good light transmittance in the light-transmitting area 1A of the curtain and good light-blocking properties in the light-blocking area 1B. In one implementation, the light transmittance of fabric layer 2 is less than or equal to 50% of the light transmittance of gauze 1; or, less than or equal to 80% of the light transmittance of gauze 1; or, less than or equal to 90% of the light transmittance of gauze 1; or, less than or equal to 95% of the light transmittance of gauze 1; or, less than or equal to 98% of the light transmittance of gauze 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, the fabric layer 2 is bonded to the surface of the light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1 by an adhesive layer (not shown). This adhesive layer can be formed by applying an adhesive (i.e., glue) to the surface of the fabric layer 2. Specifically, during manufacturing, an adhesive is first applied to the surface of the fabric layer 2 using an adhesive applicator. Then, the side of the fabric layer 2 coated with adhesive is bonded to the surface of the light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1. After the adhesive dries and cures, an adhesive layer is formed, bonding and fixing the fabric layer 2 and the mesh 1 together. (Since the mesh 1 has multiple mesh openings 10, applying glue directly to the mesh 1 would result in glue leakage, making glue application inconvenient.)

[0032] As another implementation, the surfaces of the fabric layer 2 and the light-shielding area 1B of the mesh 1 are joined by ultrasonic bonding. Specifically, during manufacturing, the fabric layer 2 can be first stacked on the mesh 1, and then the fabric layer 2 and the mesh 1 can be bonded together by ultrasonic bonding equipment (specifically, ultrasonic bonding is a composite method that uses high-frequency vibration waves to be transmitted to the surfaces of two or more materials to be welded, and under pressure, the material surfaces rub against each other to form a fusion between molecular layers, thereby achieving a fusion between materials).

[0033] In another embodiment, the surfaces of the fabric layer 2 and the light-shielding area 1B of the mesh 1 are joined by hot-press bonding. Specifically, during manufacturing, the fabric layer 2 can be first stacked onto the mesh 1, and then the fabric layer 2 and the mesh 1 can be bonded together by hot-press bonding equipment (specifically, hot-press bonding is a method of tightly bonding two fabrics together through high temperature and pressure; during the hot-press bonding process, a layer of hot melt adhesive is added between the fabrics, which is melted by high temperature, and then the two fabrics are firmly bonded together under pressure). Of course, in other embodiments, the fabric layer 2 and the mesh 1 can also be bonded together by other methods.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, multiple fabric layers 2 correspond one-to-one with multiple light-blocking areas 1B of the mesh 1; along the thickness direction T of the mesh 1, fabric layers 2 are provided on one side of each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1, and each fabric layer 2 is disposed on the same side of each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, along the thickness direction T of the mesh 1, each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1 is provided with a fabric layer 2 on both sides, which is beneficial to improving the light-blocking performance and heat-insulating performance of the curtain.

[0036] In one implementation, the material of the mesh 1 can be PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene), polyester, nylon, etc. The fabric layer 2 can be a natural fiber fabric, such as cotton, linen, silk, etc.; it can also be a synthetic fiber fabric, such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, spandex, etc.; or it can be a blended fabric, such as cotton-linen blended fabric, polyester-cotton blended fabric, etc.

[0037] In one implementation, the multiple fabric layers 2 are all made of the same material.

[0038] In another implementation, at least some of the fabric layers 2 are made of different materials. For example, for the multiple fabric layers 2 disposed on the same side of the mesh 1, each pair of adjacent fabric layers 2 uses two different materials (for example, from top to bottom, the first fabric layer 2 uses the first material, the second fabric layer 2 uses the second material, the third fabric layer 2 uses the first material, the fourth fabric layer 2 uses the second material, and so on). Another example is that along the thickness direction T of the mesh 1, each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1 has fabric layers 2 on opposite sides, and the fabric layers 2 on opposite sides of the mesh 1 use two different materials (for example, multiple fabric layers 2 on one side of the mesh 1 all use the first material). The fabric layer 2 on the opposite side of the mesh 1 is made of the second material. This arrangement allows the two sides of the curtain to have different appearances. When in use, the user can choose one side of the curtain to face the user (e.g., towards the interior) and the other side to face away from the user (e.g., towards the exterior). After a period of use, the user can turn the curtain over so that the back of the curtain faces the user. Since the two sides of the curtain are made of different materials of fabric layer 2, the user can observe different types of curtains, thereby improving the aesthetics and novelty. This helps to improve the aesthetics of the curtain (currently, most zebra curtains can only use one material).

[0039] In one implementation, all fabric layers 2 are the same color.

[0040] As another implementation, at least some of the fabric layers 2 are different colors. For example, for multiple fabric layers 2 located on the same side of the mesh 1, each pair of adjacent fabric layers 2 uses two different colors (for example, from top to bottom, the first fabric layer 2 uses the first color, the second fabric layer 2 uses the second color, the third fabric layer 2 uses the first color, the fourth fabric layer 2 uses the second color, and so on). Another example is that along the thickness direction T of the mesh 1, each light-blocking area 1B of the mesh 1 has fabric layers 2 on opposite sides, and the fabric layers 2 on opposite sides of the mesh 1 use two different colors (for example, multiple fabric layers 2 on one side of the mesh 1 use the first color, and multiple fabric layers 2 on the opposite side of the mesh 1 use the second color). This arrangement gives the two sides of the curtain different appearances, which helps improve the aesthetics of the curtain (currently, most zebra blinds can only use one color).

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the shape of fabric layer 2 is the same as that of the light-blocking area 1B, and the size of fabric layer 2 is the same as that of the light-blocking area 1B, that is, fabric layer 2 completely covers the light-blocking area 1B. The shape of fabric layer 2 is the same as that of the light-transmitting area 1A, and along the height direction H of the mesh 1, the width W1 of each fabric layer 2 is equal (that is, the width of each light-blocking area 1B is equal), the width W2 of each light-transmitting area 1A is equal, and the width W1 of fabric layer 2 is greater than or equal to the width W2 of light-transmitting area 1A (that is, the width of light-blocking area 1B is greater than or equal to the width of light-transmitting area 1A). With this configuration, when the curtain is rolled into a double-layer structure (or two curtains are used stacked; for details on the use of the curtain, please refer to patents such as CN114776205A and CN214943869U), the light-blocking effect of the curtain can be adjusted by changing the overlapping area of ​​the light-transmitting area 1A and the light-blocking area 1B on the two layers of curtains when raising and lowering the curtain. Moreover, since the width of the light-blocking area 1B is greater than or equal to the width of the light-transmitting area 1A, each light-blocking area 1B on one layer of curtain can completely cover each light-transmitting area 1A on the other layer of curtain, thereby enabling the curtain to achieve a complete light-blocking function (i.e., all parts of the curtain can block light). Preferably, the width W1 of the fabric layer 2 is equal to the width W2 of the light-transmitting area 1A.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, each fabric layer 2 has the same shape. The fabric layer 2 is a rectangular sheet structure (specifically a square sheet structure) extending along the width direction W of the mesh 1. The fabric layer 2 extends from one side of the mesh 1 to the other side of the mesh 1 (that is, the left and right sides of the fabric layer 2 are flush with the left and right sides of the mesh 1). The light-transmitting area 1A and the light-blocking area 1B are also rectangular structures.

[0043] In another implementation, the fabric layer 2 has a non-rectangular structure, and the light-transmitting area 1A and the light-blocking area 1B also have non-rectangular structures. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the fabric layer 2 is a wavy sheet structure extending along the width direction W of the yarn mesh 1, and the light-transmitting area 1A and the light-blocking area 1B are also wavy structures. Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the fabric layer 2 is a serrated sheet structure extending along the width direction W of the mesh 1, and the light-transmitting area 1A and the light-blocking area 1B are also serrated structures. This arrangement improves the aesthetics of the curtain. Of course, in other embodiments, the fabric layer 2 can also be other shapes, such as irregular irregular structures.

[0044] This utility model embodiment also provides a curtain, particularly a zebra curtain, which includes the curtain body described above.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
