Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and more specifically, to a breathable linen-like fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Polyester-imitation linen fabric is made by imitating the rugged, skeletal visual style and excellent moisture absorption and breathability of linen fabric using polyester. Natural linen fabric has good moisture absorption and dissipation properties, and is cool, crisp, and rugged. Due to the internal molecular structure of linen fibers and the presence of a large amount of colloids, individual linen fibers are uneven, with high crystallinity and orientation, high breaking strength, high rigidity, and poor elasticity. Linen fabrics woven from linen fibers and processed fibers have short stripes of varying thickness on the surface, making them extremely prone to pilling. In addition, the production of natural linen fibers is limited, and the weaving of fine linen is difficult and costly. Therefore, polyester and other linen-like materials can be woven into imitation linen fabrics through the combination of fabric structure and yarn selection. Compared with traditional pure linen fabrics, polyester has higher strength, better elasticity, lighter weight, and better abrasion resistance. Polyester-imitation linen fabric also has good shape retention and wrinkle resistance, thus overcoming the shortcomings of traditional pure linen fabrics such as itchiness and easy wrinkling. Therefore, we have proposed a breathable all-polyester imitation linen fabric. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A breathable linen-like fabric, comprising warp yarns and weft yarns, wherein the warp yarns and weft yarns are interwoven into a variable square plain weave. The complete weave of the breathable linen-like fabric is composed of 23 warp yarns and 20 weft yarns, and the interlacing pattern of its warp yarns is as follows: The interlacing pattern of the weft yarn is The point where the warp yarn floats above the weft yarn is the warp weave point;
[0005] The warp yarns of columns 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22 of the variable square flat weave are warp weave points above the weft yarns of rows 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20.

[0016] Figure 1 This is an organizational diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments:
[0018] A breathable linen-like fabric includes warp and weft yarns interwoven into a varied plain weave. The complete weave of the breathable linen-like fabric consists of 23 warp yarns and 20 weft yarns interwoven, with the warp yarns interwoven according to the following pattern: The interlacing pattern of the weft yarn is In the variable square flat weave, long and short floats are arranged alternately to imitate the irregular granular texture of linen fabric, where the warp yarns float on the weft yarns to form the warp weave points.
[0019] The warp yarns of columns 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22 of the variable square flat weave are warp weave points above the weft yarns of rows 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
[0020] The warp yarns in columns 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 21, and 23 of the variable square flat weave are warp weave points above the weft yarns in rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 16.
[0021] The warp yarns include warp A and warp B. Warp A consists of warp yarns in columns 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22. Warp B consists of warp yarns in columns 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 21, and 23. Warp A and warp B have the same twist and twist direction.
[0022] The weft yarns include weft A and weft B. Weft A consists of the weft yarns in rows 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20, while weft B consists of the weft yarns in rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 16. Weft A and weft B have the same twist.
[0023] Preferably, warp A is made of 200D polyester filament + 60D polyester bright triangular shaped yarn. The 60D bright polyester triangular shaped yarn in warp A reflects light through its shaped cross-section, creating a bamboo-like stripe effect similar to hemp fibers, with alternating matte and glossy finishes. Warp B is made of DTY 260D / 96F. The porous DTY 260D / 96F yarn in warp B provides a fluffy, fuzzy feel, with a surface texture closely resembling the rough texture of natural hemp. Simultaneously, the triangular shaped yarn increases the capillary effect between fibers, improving the efficiency of sweat absorption and diffusion.
[0024] Preferably, the twist of warp A is 800 twists / m, and the twist of warp B is 600 twists / m, and the twist direction is Z-twist. The high twist of warp A makes the yarn tight, and when interlacing, it forms a hardness difference with the lower twist of warp B, producing granular protrusions similar to those of linen fabric.
[0025] Preferably, the weft A is selected as DTY110D / 48F and the weft B is selected as DTY165D / 48F. The combination of DTY110D / 48F (fine denier) for the weft A and DTY165D / 48F (coarse denier) for the weft B, combined with the 2S2Z and 1Z1S twist direction combination, produces a light and dark interwoven color effect, which is close to the natural color difference of hemp fiber.
[0026] Preferably, the twist of both weft A and weft B is 800 twists / m, the twist direction of weft A is S, and the twist direction of weft B is 1Z1S alternating twist. The interlacing effect of the S twist of weft A and the alternating twist of weft B forms micron-level irregular grooves on the fabric surface, with a touch close to the natural roughness of linen. The surface of the S twist yarn of weft A forms a spiral groove, which, combined with the fluffy structure of the alternating twist of weft B, improves the wicking rate.
[0027] Preferably, the warp density of the fabric is 440-460 threads / 10cm, and the weft density is 220-260 threads / 10cm.
[0028] Process flow:
[0029] The double-layer imitation linen home textile fabric, woven on an extra-wide water-jet loom, solves problems such as poor fabric smoothness, unstable weft insertion, weft slippage, and stripes. The specific process flow is as follows: Warp yarn: Raw yarn → Sizing and combining → Heddle threading and reed preparation → Weaving → Inspection → Delivery; Weft yarn: Raw yarn → Weaving → Inspection → Delivery.
[0030] The specific process is as follows:
