Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textiles, and more specifically, to a knitted fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Existing knitted fabrics with a single weave structure, such as plain knit fabrics, have a slower rate of sweat evaporation after absorbing moisture because the fibers in plain knit fabrics are relatively tightly packed and the pores are relatively small, thus causing moisture to remain trapped. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a knitted fabric that forms a first region and a second region through fiber weaving. The first region is a densely woven area, and the second region is a mesh area. The densely woven area absorbs moisture and sweat, while the mesh structure increases air circulation through its mesh openings. The loose mesh structure provides channels for the diffusion of sweat. After the first and second regions are arranged alternately, the overall structure of the fabric becomes more porous, thereby increasing the excretion of sweat. Furthermore, the height difference between the first and second regions allows the fibers in the first region to quickly evaporate sweat.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a knitted fabric, comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the first region and the second region are arranged alternately along the fabric width direction, the second region comprising a mesh area and a mesh area, wherein the mesh area is arranged in multiple rhombuses, and the mesh area is located at the center of each rhombus within the mesh area, located on the front side of the fabric, the first region being higher than the second region, located on the reverse side of the fabric, and the first region being higher than the second region.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that, on the front side of the fabric, the height difference H1 between the first region and the second region is the same as the thickness H3 of the second region.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that, on the reverse side of the fabric, the height difference H2 between the first region and the second region is the same as the thickness H3 of the second region.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the ratio of the width L1 of the first region to the width L2 of the second region is 1:1.2 to 1:1.3.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the fabric is woven in a loop of 6 rows of loops, the first, second, fourth and fifth rows of loops are tucked and knitted, and the third and sixth rows of loops are knitted.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the first, third, and fifth coils of the first and second coil rows are tucked together, and the second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth coils are looped together; the first to tenth coils of the third and sixth coil rows are all looped together; the second, fourth, and sixth coils of the fourth and fifth coil rows are tucked together, and the first, third, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth coils are looped together.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth coils in the first to sixth coil rows are woven together to form the second region, and the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth coils in the first to sixth coil rows are woven together to form the first region.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the coil density of the first region is greater than the coil density of the second region.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the mesh area is elliptical, the mesh areas located on both sides of the second region are semi-rhomboid, and the mesh area located within the semi-rhomboid is semi-elliptical.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the two endpoints of the semi-rhombuses on both sides of the mesh area are located on both sides of the second region.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The fabric is divided into a first zone and a second zone through weaving. The first zone is a densely woven zone, and the second zone is a mesh zone. The tightly arranged yarns in the densely woven zone absorb the sweat produced by the human body, while the mesh zone increases air circulation and provides channels for the diffusion of sweat. The alternating arrangement of the first and second zones allows the fibers in the densely woven zone to absorb sweat, while the mesh zone, through its mesh structure and airflow, allows sweat to be expelled from the mesh zone, accelerating sweat evaporation and dissipation. At the same time, due to the height difference between the first and second zones, the fibers inside the first zone can quickly evaporate sweat, thus keeping the fabric dry.

[0022] 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.

[0023] This embodiment discloses a knitted fabric. The fabric has a weave cycle of 6 loops. Each loop includes three needle segments, and the knitting sequence is 1-2-1-2-1-2-3-3-3-3. Because the first and second loops are knitted the same way, the third and sixth loops are knitted the same way, and the fourth and fifth loops are knitted the same way, the first and second loops are both tucked at the first needle position. The second and third needles are knitted in rounds. The first, second, and third needles of the third and sixth loop rows are all knitted in rounds. The second needle of the fourth and fifth loop rows is knitted in a tucked loop. The first and third needles are knitted in rounds. Therefore, in one weave cycle, the first, second, fourth, and fifth loop rows are knitted in rounds and tucked loops, while the third and sixth loop rows are knitted in rounds. In knitting, because the needle sequence for each row of loops is 1-2-1-2-1-2-3-3-3-3-3, each row of loops has 10 loop positions in one weave cycle. In both the first and second rows of loops, the first needle position is a tucked loop, and the second and third needle positions are a full loop. Therefore, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th loops in the first and second rows of loops are tucked loops, and the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th loops are full loops. For both the 3rd and 6th loop rows, the first, second, and third needles are knitted in rounds. Therefore, loops 1-10 of both the 3rd and 6th loop rows are knitted in rounds. For both the 4th and 5th loop rows, the second needle is knitted in a tucked loop, and the first and third needles are knitted in rounds. Therefore, loops 2, 4, and 6 of both the 4th and 5th loop rows are tucked in rounds, while loops 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are knitted in rounds. (Refer to...) Figure 5Because in the first six rows of coils, all the coils in the first six rows contain tucked loops, while the coils in the seventh to tenth rows only contain looped loops, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth coils in the first six rows form the second region 20, and the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth coils in the first six rows form the first region 10. Therefore, the fabric includes both the first region 10 and the second region 20. Since the second region 20 is located in the first six rows of coils and the first region 10 is located in the last four rows of coils, the first region 10 and the second region 20 alternate along the fabric width. Because the first region 10 consists entirely of looped loops, while the second region 20 consists of both looped and tucked loops, therefore… Loop-knitted yarns have tightly packed loops and a uniform weave, while tuck-knitted yarns form a stacked pattern with relatively larger gaps between the yarns. Therefore, the loop density of the first region 10 is greater than that of the second region 20. The tighter yarn arrangement in the first region 10 allows it to absorb sweat from the skin's surface, while the relatively loose structure of the second region 20 provides a channel for sweat diffusion. Because the first region 10 and the second region 20 are arranged alternately, when sweat is absorbed by the first region 10, it moves along the fibers to the second region 20. The second region 20 acts like a ventilation channel, allowing the sweat to evaporate and keeping the fabric dry.

[0024] Because in the first six rows of coils forming the second region 20, the ratio of looped weaving to looped weaving in the first, second, fourth, and fifth coil rows is 1:1, while the third and sixth coil rows are both looped weaving, the looped weaving creates a "stacked" state, causing the coils at that point to be transferred, resulting in no coil at that point and forming a mesh. The looped weaving forms the base fabric of the second region 20. Therefore, the second region 20 includes a mesh area 201 and a mesh area 202. Since each of the first, second, fourth, and fifth coil rows is separated by a looped weaving row, the mesh area 201 is arranged in multiple rhombuses, and the mesh area 202 is located at the center of each rhombus within the mesh area 201. The mesh area 202 is elliptical, and the areas located on both sides of the second region 20... The mesh area 201 is semi-rhomboid, and the mesh area 202 within the semi-rhomboid is semi-elliptical. The two endpoints of the semi-rhomboids on both sides of the mesh area 201 are located on both sides of the second region 20. Therefore, the mesh area 201 in the second region 20 all has mesh areas 202, which keeps the breathability of the second region 20 uniform. Because the coil density of the first region 10 is higher than that of the second region 20, when the first region 10 absorbs sweat, the mesh area 201 has a looser structure, making its breathability greater than that of the first region 10. The first region 10 and the second region 20 are arranged alternately, so the sweat in the first region 10 is discharged outward through the air circulation of the mesh area 201. Since the second region 20 includes mesh areas 202, the air circulation causes sweat to be arranged from the mesh areas 202, thereby accelerating the evaporation and discharge of sweat, thus keeping the fabric dry.

[0025] Because the first six rows of loops are not knitted with purl needles, the fabric is a single-sided structure. However, since the first area 10 is knitted in loops, while the second area 20 is a combination of loop and tuck knitting, and the loops of the tuck knitting form a "stacked" state, the first area 10 is higher than the second area 20 on the right side of the fabric. The height difference H1 between the first area 10 and the second area 20 is the same as the thickness H3 of the second area 20 on the wrong side of the fabric. The height difference H2 between the first area 10 and the second area 20 is the same as the thickness H3 of the second area 20 on the wrong side of the fabric. Therefore, the first area 10 and the second area 20 form an inverted "I" shape. Because the first area 10 is higher than the second area 20 on both sides of the fabric, when the first area 10 absorbs moisture, the fibers on both sides of the first area 10 come into direct contact with the air, allowing the fibers on both sides of the first area 10 to evaporate directly. Sweat is absorbed by the fabric. The first region 10 is connected to the second region 20. The loose structure of the mesh area 202 and the mesh surface area 201 of the second region 20 promotes air convection in the second region 20, thereby increasing the air circulation of the second region 20. At the same time, the connection between the second region 20 and the first region 10 increases the air circulation inside the first region 10, thereby increasing the breathability of the fabric. Since the first region 10 is woven with 4 rows of loops and the second region 20 is woven with 6 rows of loops, the ratio of the width L1 of the first region 10 to the width L2 of the second region 20 is 1:1.2 to 1:1.3 at the loop density. Preferably, the ratio of the width L1 of the first region 10 to the width L2 of the second region 20 is 1:1.3. Therefore, the width L2 of the second region 20 is greater than the width L1 of the first region 10, thereby increasing the overall breathability of the fabric and increasing the moisture wicking properties of the fabric, keeping the fabric and the human body dry and comfortable.
