Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the textile field, and more specifically, to a moisture-absorbing fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric refers to the material used to make clothing, home textiles or other textiles, which is usually made of fibers through processes such as spinning, weaving, knitting or non-woven fabrics.

[0003] Moisture absorption is a crucial performance characteristic of underwear fabrics. Good moisture absorption allows the fabric to quickly absorb sweat from the skin, keeping the skin dry and reducing the stickiness between the fabric and the skin, thus ensuring the comfort of the underwear. To ensure moisture absorption, the fabric is generally made of natural fibers with good moisture absorption properties. However, after natural fibers absorb moisture, moisture remains in the gaps within the yarns and between the yarns, which reduces the overall breathability of the fabric and fails to achieve the desired overall breathability.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moisture-absorbing fabric.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a moisture-absorbing fabric, comprising an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the outer layer has a plurality of grooves formed by hot pressing on the side facing the inner layer, and a plurality of air vents are provided on the bottom of the grooves; the inner layer has a plurality of hydrophobic areas formed therein, the hydrophobic areas being embedded in the grooves and forming a recess on one side of the inner layer; a plurality of perforations are woven on the hydrophobic areas; the outer layer is woven from moisture-absorbing yarn, and the moisture absorption capacity of the outer layer is superior to that of the inner layer.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the inner layer is knitted from polyester yarn, and the inner layer is padded with longitudinal cotton yarn and transverse cotton yarn. The longitudinal cotton yarn is padded on each column of loops in the inner layer except for the hydrophobic area, and the transverse cotton yarn is padded on each row of loops in the inner layer except for the hydrophobic area. The diameter of both the longitudinal and transverse cotton yarns is larger than the diameter of the polyester yarn.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of single-needle single-row tufted structures are provided on the hydrophobic area, and the through holes are formed on the single-needle single-row tufted structures.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the outer layer is woven with moisture-absorbing yarn to form a weft plain knit structure, and the weft plain knit structure is provided with a number of offset loops, and two adjacent offset loops are stacked on each other and form a protrusion on the side of the outer layer facing away from the inner layer.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the moisture-absorbing yarn is made of viscose fiber twisted together, and the polyester yarn is made of hollow polyester filament twisted together.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the outer layer is also provided with additional yarn, and the additional yarn forms several loops on the side of the outer layer facing the inner layer.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The hydrophobic area exhibits different moisture absorption properties compared to other areas of the inner layer. This difference in moisture absorption makes it less prone to water retention in the hydrophobic area, thus reducing the interference of moisture with breathability. The perforations increase the gaps in the hydrophobic area, facilitating air passage. After heat pressing, the gaps between yarns and fibers in the grooved areas of the outer layer almost disappear, making the grooved areas less prone to moisture absorption compared to other areas of the outer layer. Furthermore, the hydrophobic area is located within the groove, resulting in a smaller contact area between the hydrophobic area and the skin surface, further reducing the chance of moisture contact. The macroscopic perforation structure formed by laser marking allows external air to easily interact with internal air, ensuring the fabric's breathability. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] A moisture-wicking fabric, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the fabric includes an inner layer 1 and an outer layer 2. The outer layer 2 has several grooves 3 formed by heat pressing on the side facing the inner layer 1. Several ventilation holes 4 are formed on the bottom of the grooves 3 using laser marking technology. Several hydrophobic areas are formed on the inner layer 1, embedded within the grooves 3 and forming a depression on one side of the inner layer 1. Several perforations 5 are woven into the hydrophobic areas. The outer layer 2 is woven from moisture-absorbing yarn 6. The moisture absorption capacity of the outer layer 2 is superior to that of the inner layer 1. The inner layer 1 itself has a certain moisture absorption capacity. The difference in moisture absorption between the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 1 creates a one-way moisture-wicking function, allowing the moisture absorbed by the inner layer 1 to be discharged to the outer layer 2, increasing the overall moisture-wicking performance of the fabric and reducing the time moisture remains in the fabric. The moisture absorption performance of the hydrophobic areas differs from other parts of the inner layer 1. The outer layer 2 has a different hygroscopicity than other parts of the inner layer 1, making it less likely for moisture to remain in the hydrophobic area. This reduces the interference of moisture with the breathability of this part. The perforations 5 increase the gaps in the hydrophobic area, allowing air to pass through. After hot pressing, the gaps between yarns and fibers in the grooves 3 of the outer layer 2 almost disappear, making the grooves 3 less likely to absorb moisture compared to other parts of the outer layer 2. The hydrophobic area is located inside the grooves 3, resulting in a smaller contact area between the hydrophobic area and the body surface, further reducing the chance of the hydrophobic area coming into contact with moisture. The macroscopic breathable hole 4 structure formed by laser marking allows external air to easily interact with internal air through the breathable hole 4 structure, ensuring the breathability of the fabric. The area of ​​the hydrophobic area is larger than the area of ​​the grooves 3, which facilitates the alignment of the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 2 during the lamination process.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner layer 1 is knitted from polyester yarn. The inner layer 1 is padded with longitudinal cotton yarn 7 and transverse cotton yarn 8. The longitudinal cotton yarn 7 is padded on each row of loops in the inner layer 1 except for the hydrophobic area, and the transverse cotton yarn 8 is padded on each row of loops in the inner layer 1 except for the hydrophobic area. The diameters of both the longitudinal cotton yarn 7 and the transverse cotton yarn 8 are larger than the diameter of the polyester yarn. Several floats are formed on the side of the inner layer 1 facing away from the outer layer 2. The hydrophobic area only contains polyester yarn, so it does not easily absorb moisture. However, other areas of the inner layer 1 are padded with a large area of ​​longitudinal cotton yarn 7 and transverse cotton yarn 8, giving these areas superior moisture absorption performance and meeting the moisture absorption requirements of the inner layer 1. The polyester yarn ensures the overall structural strength of the inner layer 1. Several single-needle, single-row tucked structures are set in the hydrophobic area, and the perforations 5 are formed on these structures. The gaps in the single-needle, single-row tucked structures are relatively large, which helps the internal air to interact with the external air through the hydrophobic area.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the outer layer 2 is woven with moisture-absorbing yarn 6 to form a plain weft knit structure. Several offset loops are provided on the plain weft knit structure. Two adjacent offset loops are stacked on each other and form a protrusion on the side of the outer layer 2 facing away from the inner layer 1. The offset of the loops makes the surface of the outer layer 2 uneven, thereby increasing the surface area of ​​the outer layer 2 in contact with the air. The uneven surface makes the outer side of the fabric less likely to be adhered. The outer layer 2 is also provided with additional yarn 9, which forms several loops on the side of the outer layer 2 facing the inner layer 1. The loops are formed by pulling out the sinking arc of the additional yarn 9. The loops increase the contact area between the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 1, which can improve the rate of moisture exchange between the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 2. The moisture-absorbing yarn 6 is made of viscose fiber twisted together. The moisture absorption performance of viscose fiber is better than that of cotton fiber. Moreover, viscose fiber is a chemical fiber, which is easy to heat press on the outer layer 2. The polyester yarn is made of hollow polyester filament twisted together. The hollow polyester filament is hollow inside, which makes the inner layer 1 relatively softer.

[0022] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
