Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile fabrics, specifically to a close-fitting fabric with good water absorption properties. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pure chemical fiber fabrics, such as those made of polyester or nylon, typically possess advantages like a soft, fluffy texture, good stretch, and vibrant colors due to their unique fiber structure and weaving methods. These fabrics are widely used in garment manufacturing, and are particularly favored by clothing designs that prioritize overall aesthetics and resistance to deformation.

[0003] However, traditional pure chemical fiber fabrics also have significant drawbacks. Their inherent chemical fiber properties result in generally poor breathability and absorbency. When a user wears clothing made of this type of fabric, sweat produced by the body is difficult for the fabric to absorb effectively or evaporate quickly. This causes sweat to easily accumulate between the clothing and the skin, creating a sticky feeling and significantly reducing wearing comfort, especially during exercise or in hot and humid environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a close-fitting fabric with good water absorption, breathability and comfortable wear, so as to solve the defects of traditional pure chemical fiber fabric in terms of moisture absorption and perspiration wicking.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a close-fitting fabric with good water absorption properties, comprising a main body layer. Multiple adjacent water-absorbing units are distributed on the main body layer.

[0006] Specifically, the absorbent unit has a specific structural design, comprising three raised water-retaining blocks facing the user's skin. These water-retaining blocks are preferably rectangular in shape.

[0007] The three water-retaining blocks are arranged in a V-shape in this invention. This V-shaped layout is designed to optimize the contact method with the skin and the collection path of sweat. To further process the absorbed sweat, each water-retaining block still has moisture-guiding ribs extending along its diagonal direction on its surface. These ribs utilize capillary action to guide moisture diffusion on the surface of the water-retaining block, increasing the evaporation area.

[0008] In addition, each absorbent unit includes an inverted V-shaped airflow channel. This inverted V-shaped channel structure, in conjunction with the V-shaped layout of the water-retaining blocks, may be located inside or around the area formed by the V-shaped water-retaining blocks, to promote air circulation between the skin and the fabric, effectively removing moisture and improving breathability.

[0009] Preferably, the water storage block has two moisture-wicking strips, and the two strips intersect at the center of the water storage block. This design helps to quickly absorb and disperse sweat from multiple directions to the center of the water storage block.

[0010] In another preferred embodiment, the size of the water-retaining block is defined, with a width of 2-3 mm and a length of 3-5 mm. Appropriate dimensions help balance absorbency, moisture-wicking efficiency, and comfort when worn.

[0011] To simplify the manufacturing process and ensure structural integrity, the main body layer and the absorbent unit are preferably formed by an integral weaving method. This integral weaving structure avoids subsequent splicing processes and improves the durability and smoothness of the fabric.

[0012] In terms of fabric material selection, the main layer can be woven from quick-drying yarns interwoven with warp and weft.

[0013] The quick-drying yarn may comprise several spirally wound polyester and spandex fibers. Polyester fibers themselves possess good quick-drying properties and strength, while spandex fibers provide excellent elasticity, ensuring a close fit and freedom of movement in the fabric. The spiral winding structure helps improve the yarn's capillary effect and overall performance.

[0014] To further optimize the fabric's performance and feel, the fineness of the quick-drying yarn can be controlled within a specific range, such as 16-23 tex. Yarn fineness affects the fabric's thickness, weight, softness, and breathability.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Significantly improved moisture absorption: By setting up water-retaining blocks that protrude towards the skin, the effective contact area with sweat is increased, improving the efficiency of sweat absorption.

[0017] 2. Optimized moisture-wicking performance: The moisture-wicking slats on the surface of the water storage block can actively guide the diffusion of moisture, accelerate the evaporation or transfer of sweat, and avoid local liquid accumulation.

[0018] 3. Enhanced breathability: The airflow channels between adjacent water storage blocks promote air circulation, effectively removing moisture and heat, reducing the sticky and stuffy feeling when wearing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.

[0030] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a close-fitting fabric with good water absorption properties, mainly comprising a main body layer 1. Multiple water-absorbing units with identical structures and arranged adjacent to each other are designed and distributed on the surface of the main body layer 1. These water-absorbing units are key to achieving the moisture absorption, moisture wicking, and breathability functions of this utility model.

[0032] Each absorbent unit includes three water-retaining blocks 21. These three water-retaining blocks 21 are arranged in a V-shape. In particular, these water-retaining blocks 21 are structurally designed with the side facing the user's skin protruding. This protruding design not only allows the water-retaining blocks 21 to come into contact with sweat earlier, but also creates tiny spaces between the water-retaining blocks 21 and between them and the skin, which is conducive to the initial collection of sweat and air circulation. The shape of each water-retaining block 21 is preferably rectangular, and its specific dimensions can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the width can be designed to be 2-3 mm and the length can be designed to be 3-5 mm.

[0033] To further enhance water absorption and moisture wicking efficiency, each water storage block 21 has moisture-wicking slats 211 extending diagonally on its surface (i.e., the side convex to the skin). In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, each water storage block 21 is provided with two moisture-guiding diagonal strips 211, which intersect each other and preferably intersect at the geometric center of the water storage block 21. These moisture-guiding diagonal strips 211 utilize capillary effect to quickly guide sweat from the skin surface from the contact point and evenly disperse it throughout the entire water storage block 21, thereby improving the sweat absorption rate and spreading area.

[0034] In addition to the water-absorbing structure, each absorbent unit also includes an inverted V-shaped airflow channel 22. This airflow channel 22 is typically located in the area enclosed by the three V-shaped water-absorbing blocks 21 or adjacent areas. Its open "inverted V-shaped" structure effectively guides airflow between the fabric and the skin. This design helps to remove moisture absorbed but not fully penetrated by the water-absorbing blocks 21, as well as warm, humid air from the skin surface, accelerating the evaporation of sweat. Furthermore, the flowing air also provides a cooling sensation to the skin, enhancing overall dryness and comfort.

[0035] In an important embodiment of this invention, the main body layer 1, the water storage block 21, the moisture-wicking diagonal strip 211, and the airflow channel 22 constituting the water-absorbing unit are all formed by an integrated weaving technique. This integrated structure gives the fabric good integrity and structural stability, avoiding the delamination, peeling, or foreign body sensation that may occur with traditional multi-layer fabric composites. It also allows microstructures with specific functions (such as the water storage block 21 and the airflow channel 22) to be precisely and firmly integrated into the fabric.

[0036] The yarn constituting the main layer 1 is preferably a quick-drying yarn 3. This quick-drying yarn 3 can be composed of multiple fibers, for example, it can include several polyester fibers 31 and spandex fibers 32 combined in a helical winding manner. Polyester fibers 31 have excellent quick-drying properties due to their hydrophobicity, which helps the fabric dry quickly after absorbing sweat. The addition of spandex fibers 32 gives the fabric good elasticity and resilience, allowing the fabric to better conform to the body's curves and adapt to changes in body shape during movement without causing a feeling of restriction. The helical winding structure of the fibers in the yarn also helps to increase the surface area and capillary pores of the yarn, synergistically enhancing the moisture absorption and wicking effect. In order to balance the requirements of fabric strength, hand feel and lightweight, the fineness of the quick-drying yarn 3 is preferably controlled in the range of 16-23 tex.

[0037] Working principle: When the human body sweats during activity, the sweat first comes into contact with the water-retaining blocks 21 protruding towards the skin on the fabric. The moisture-wicking strips 211 on the surface of the water-retaining blocks 21, through capillary action, quickly absorb the sweat from the contact point and guide it into the interior of the water-retaining blocks 21 for storage. The three V-shaped water-retaining blocks 21 work together to expand the moisture-absorbing area and provide sufficient water storage space. Simultaneously, the inverted V-shaped airflow channels 22 located in the absorbent unit function as breathable channels, allowing air to circulate between the skin and the fabric. This accelerates the evaporation of sweat in the water-retaining blocks 21 and its diffusion to the external environment, while also removing heat and moisture from the skin surface, thus maintaining dryness and comfort in the wearing area. The quick-drying yarn 3 material and its structure used in the main layer 1 further ensure the rapid drying performance of the entire fabric.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
