Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitted fabric technology, and in particular to a unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in yarn raw materials and spinning technology, numerous new materials and processes have been applied to fabric production, resulting in a wide variety of functional fabrics on the market to meet consumer demands. Among existing technologies, one-way moisture-wicking fabrics have emerged. These fabrics effectively guide moisture or sweat away from the body surface in a specific direction, making them widely applicable in sportswear, outdoor gear, workwear, and other fields, especially for situations requiring prolonged strenuous activity or exposure to humid environments.

[0003] However, existing one-way moisture-wicking fabrics use chemical auxiliaries for finishing and processing. They utilize the chemical properties of these auxiliaries to achieve one-way moisture wicking. However, this process is complex, the product quality is not stable, and the product itself is not washable. The more times it is washed, the faster its performance deteriorates. It also requires additional printing processes, increases energy consumption, and generates pollution. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2This utility model provides a one-way moisture-wicking knitted fabric, which includes an outer layer, a moisture-wicking layer, and an inner layer; the inner layer and the outer layer are connected by the moisture-wicking layer; the inner layer is a skin-friendly surface and is made of combed cotton yarn; the moisture-wicking layer is used for one-way moisture wicking and is made of moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101; the outer layer is a moisture-wicking surface and is made of low-elasticity polyester yarn.

[0031] The minimum repeat knitting structure of the knitted fabric is a six-way pattern, including pattern 1, pattern 2, pattern 3, pattern 4, pattern 5, and pattern 6; wherein pattern 1 and pattern 4 are made of low-elastic polyester yarn; pattern 2 and pattern 5 are made of combed cotton yarn; and pattern 3 and pattern 6 are made of moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101.

[0032] The unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric includes an outer layer, a moisture-wicking layer, and an inner layer. The inner layer is in contact with the skin and is made of combed cotton yarn, which has good moisture absorption. The moisture-wicking layer is made of moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101, which has good moisture wicking properties. However, the outer layer is made of low-elasticity polyester yarn, which has poor moisture absorption. Sweat or moisture is not absorbed by ordinary polyester.

[0033] The unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric utilizes the characteristic of poor moisture absorption in the outer layer and good moisture absorption in the inner layer. A moisture-wicking layer with good moisture absorption is set between the outer and inner layers. The moisture-wicking layer acts as a connecting bridge to guide moisture or sweat from the skin surface from the inner layer to the outer layer, preventing sweat from remaining in the inner layer or on the skin surface, thus keeping the skin dry and effectively avoiding discomfort or overheating caused by moisture accumulation.

[0034] The unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric has an outer layer formed by the first pattern 1 and the fourth pattern 4, an inner layer formed by the second pattern 2 and the fifth pattern 5, and a moisture-wicking layer formed by the third pattern 3 and the sixth pattern 6. The outer and inner layers are bonded together by the third pattern 3 and the sixth pattern 6.

[0035] Specifically, the unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric adopts a double-sided row needle knitting structure. The knitting structure includes a purl needle arrangement and a knit needle arrangement. The purl needle arrangement is AB, and the knit needle arrangement is DC. Wherein, A represents the first purl needle, B represents the second purl needle, C represents the first knit needle, and D represents the second knit needle.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the knitting needles used include a first upper knitting needle, a second upper knitting needle, a first lower knitting needle, and a second lower knitting needle. The first upper knitting needle and the second upper knitting needle are located above the knitting fabric surface, and the first lower knitting needle and the second lower knitting needle are both located below the knitting fabric surface. The arrangement order of the upper knitting needles is AB, and the arrangement order of the first lower knitting needle and the second lower knitting needle is DC.

[0037] By coordinating the first up needle, the second up needle, the first down needle, and the second down needle, combed cotton yarn, moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101, and low-elasticity polyester yarn can be woven into fabric.

[0038] Specifically, the first pattern 1 has a circular structure and a floating line structure on the front, and a floating line structure and a floating line structure on the back.

[0039] The second pattern 2: the front side is a floating thread structure, and the back side is a loop structure.

[0040] The third pattern 3 has a front side with a looped structure and a floating line structure, and a back side with a floating line structure and a looped structure.

[0041] The fourth pattern 4 has a front side with floating thread structure and a loop structure, and a back side with floating thread structure and a floating thread structure.

[0042] The fifth pattern 5: the front side is a floating thread structure, and the back side is a loop structure.

[0043] The sixth pattern 6 has a floating thread structure and a loop structure on the front, and a floating thread structure and a loop structure on the back.

[0044] The aforementioned cyclical weaving pattern creates a smooth inner layer and a beaded effect on the outer layer. The outer layer exhibits a continuous, three-dimensional texture resembling strung pearls. Furthermore, the outer layer's poor moisture absorption ensures that moisture or sweat, after being wicked away from the moisture-wicking layer, remains on the three-dimensional texture, reducing the likelihood of moisture or sweat flowing back into the moisture-wicking layer and further enhancing the one-way moisture-wicking effect.

[0045] Furthermore, the cross-section of the moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101 is Y-shaped.

[0046] The Y-shaped cross-section design increases the surface area of ​​polyester, thereby improving its moisture absorption. With this cross-section, the polyester yarn surface forms grooves, which rapidly absorb sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer through capillary action, enhancing moisture absorption. This allows moisture or sweat on the inner layer to be unidirectionally conducted to the outer layer through the moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101, achieving a one-way moisture-wicking effect.

[0047] Furthermore, the moisture-wicking polyester yarn 101 has a specification of 75D / 36F.

[0048] By adopting the above specifications, the fabric is made lightweight while maintaining its crispness, making it suitable for summer running clothes, yoga pants, and other occasions that require high breathability.

[0049] Specifically, the specification of the combed cotton yarn is 32S / 1.

[0050] Using the above specifications, the yarn fineness is moderate, and the finished fabric is soft and skin-friendly, suitable for close-fitting clothing. It also retains the natural hollow structure of cotton fibers, which has good breathability and moisture absorption properties, keeping you dry and comfortable when wearing it.

[0051] Specifically, the low-elastic polyester yarn has a specification of 300D / 576F.

[0052] 300D / 576F indicates that the polyester fiber is 300 denier, and each bundle contains 576 individual fibers. Using low-elasticity polyester of the above specifications gives the fabric strong tensile strength and abrasion resistance, as well as high strength, lightness and durability.

[0053] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
