AI Technical Summary
Existing fabrics cannot achieve one-way moisture wicking, making it difficult to dry quickly under body temperature or wind, and thus difficult to maintain a dry state for the skin and clothing.
The inner layer uses skin-friendly combed cotton yarn, while the outer layer uses water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn. Through a specific weaving structure, moisture or sweat from the body surface is wicked away from the inner layer to the outer layer. The poor moisture absorption of the water-repellent polyester yarn is utilized to achieve a one-way moisture-wicking effect.
It effectively prevents sweat from accumulating on the outer layer, keeping the skin dry and avoiding discomfort or overheating caused by moisture accumulation, thus improving the fabric's moisture-wicking properties.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a knitted fabric with one-way moisture-wicking effect. The knitted fabric includes an outer layer and an inner layer that are connected to each other. The inner layer is a skin-friendly surface and is made of combed cotton yarn. The outer layer is a moisture-wicking surface and is made of water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn.
[0038] The minimum repeat knitting structure of the knitted fabric is a sixteen-way pattern, including pattern 1, pattern 2, pattern 3, pattern 4, pattern 5, pattern 6, pattern 7, pattern 8, pattern 9, pattern 10, pattern 11, pattern 12, pattern 13, pattern 14, pattern 15, and pattern 16.
[0039] Specifically, pattern 1, pattern 3, pattern 5, pattern 7, pattern 9, pattern 11, pattern 13, and pattern 15 are connected to combed cotton yarn; pattern 8 and pattern 16 are connected to water-repellent polyester yarn; and pattern 2, pattern 4, pattern 6, pattern 6, pattern 10, pattern 12, and pattern 14 are connected to moisture-wicking polyester yarn.
[0040] The unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric includes an outer 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; while the outer layer is made of water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn. The moisture-wicking polyester yarn has good moisture-wicking properties, while the water-repellent polyester yarn has poor moisture absorption. Sweat or moisture is not absorbed by ordinary polyester.
[0041] The unidirectional moisture-wicking knitted fabric utilizes the poor moisture absorption of water-repellent polyester yarn and the good moisture absorption of the inner layer. It is woven with water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn to form the outer layer, which wicks away moisture or sweat from the skin from the inner layer to the outer layer, preventing sweat from remaining on the outer layer and keeping the skin dry. This effectively avoids discomfort or overheating caused by moisture accumulation on the skin.
[0042] The first pattern 1, the third pattern 3, the fifth pattern 5, the seventh pattern 7, the ninth pattern 9, the eleventh pattern 11, the thirteenth pattern 13, and the fifteenth pattern 15 form the inner layer, and the second pattern 2, the fourth pattern 4, the sixth pattern 6, the eighth pattern 8, the tenth pattern 10, the twelfth pattern 12, the fourteenth pattern 14, and the sixteenth pattern 16 form the outer layer.
[0043] Specifically, the knitted fabric adopts a rib knitting structure, in which the needle arrangement order includes a purl needle arrangement order and a knit needle arrangement order. The purl needle arrangement order is ABAB, and the knit needle arrangement order is CDCE. Wherein, A represents the first purl needle, B represents the second purl needle, C represents the first knit needle, D represents the second knit needle, and E represents the third knit needle.
[0044] 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, a second lower knitting needle, and a third lower knitting needle. The first upper knitting needle and the second upper knitting needle are located above the knitting fabric, while the first lower knitting needle, the second lower knitting needle, and the third lower knitting needle are all located below the knitting fabric.
[0045] By using the combination of the first knitting needle, the second knitting needle, the first knitting needle, the second knitting needle, and the third knitting needle, combed cotton yarn, water-repellent polyester yarn, and moisture-wicking polyester yarn can be woven into fabric.
[0046] Specifically, the first pattern 1 has a floating thread structure on the front and a loop structure on the back.
[0047] The second pattern 2: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern.
[0048] The third pattern 3 has: the front side is a floating thread structure, the back side is a loop structure, and the back side is a loop structure and a loop structure.
[0049] The fourth pattern 4: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern.
[0050] The fifth pattern 5: the front side is a floating thread structure, the back side is a loop structure, and the reverse side is a loop structure and a loop structure.
[0051] The sixth pattern 6: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern.
[0052] The seventh pattern 7 has the following characteristics: the front side is a floating thread structure, and the back side is a loop structure, a loop structure, and a loop structure.
[0053] The eighth pattern 8: the front side is a looped structure, and the back side is a floating line structure, a clustered structure, and a floating line structure;
[0054] The ninth pattern 9 has a floating thread structure on the front and a loop structure on the back.
[0055] The tenth pattern 10: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern.
[0056] The eleventh floral pattern 11: the front side is a floating line structure, and the back side is a loop structure, a loop structure and a loop structure;
[0057] The twelfth pattern 12: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern;
[0058] The thirteenth pattern 13: the front side is a floating thread structure, the back side is a loop structure, and the reverse side is a loop structure and a loop structure.
[0059] The fourteenth pattern 14: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a floating pattern.
[0060] The fifteenth pattern 15: the front side is a floating thread structure, and the back side is a loop structure, a loop structure and a loop structure;
[0061] The sixteenth pattern 16: the front side is a circular pattern, and the back side is a floating pattern, a floating pattern, and a clustered pattern.
[0062] The aforementioned cyclical weaving pattern creates a small dotted effect in the inner layer, while the outer layer combines water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn to create both a striped and small dotted effect. The small dotted and striped effects are formed by the three-dimensional coil structure created by the cyclical weaving pattern. The inner layer creates a dotted tactile or visual effect, combining a rough and three-dimensional feel to increase the contact area with the skin and improve absorbency. The outer layer creates striped protrusions and a dotted tactile or visual effect, with the water-repellent polyester yarn and moisture-wicking polyester yarn interleaved, creating striped protrusions that serve as water-repellent areas.
[0063] Because water-repellent polyester yarn repels water droplets, while moisture-wicking polyester yarn has good moisture absorption, it can guide moisture or sweat from the inner layer to the outer layer, which is beneficial for expelling moisture or sweat.
[0064] Specifically, the moisture-wicking polyester yarn is matte moisture-wicking polyester; the water-repellent polyester yarn is DTY semi-matte polyester.
[0065] The moisture-wicking polyester yarn is a matte yarn, while the water-repellent polyester yarn is a semi-matte yarn. Through the above weaving method, the moisture-wicking polyester yarn and the water-repellent polyester yarn work together to improve the texture of the fabric, making the outer layer of the knitted fabric have a more high-end feel.
[0066] Specifically, the moisture-wicking polyester yarn has a specification of 50D / 36F.
[0067] 50D / 36F indicates that the moisture-wicking polyester fiber is 50 denier, with each bundle containing 36 individual fibers. The high porosity of 36F makes the monofilaments finer, resulting in a fabric feel similar to natural cotton and reducing the risk of skin friction during exercise. Furthermore, the 36 ultra-fine monofilaments form a dense capillary network, quickly wicking sweat from the skin to the fabric surface through the wicking effect, enhancing moisture-wicking performance. The 50D fine denier yarn results in a low weight and high breathability, making the fabric ultra-thin and breathable.
[0068] Specifically, the specifications of the water-repellent polyester yarn are 50D / 24F.
[0069] 50D / 24F indicates that the water-repellent polyester fiber is 50 denier, with each bundle containing 24 single fibers. The water-repellent polyester yarn is DTY semi-dull polyester, which has a DTY porous structure, and the water-repellent polyester yarn is 24F fine denier monofilament, which can maintain good breathability and avoid stuffiness; while the 50D specification has a low weight, achieving lightweight fabric.
[0070] Specifically, the specification of the combed cotton yarn is 50S / 1.
[0071] The high count of the combed cotton yarn results in a smooth inner surface of the knitted fabric, making the fabric delicate like silk and suitable for close-fitting clothing.
[0072] 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.
