Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In today's society, consumers have higher demands for the comfort and functionality of clothing, and knitted fabrics have gained widespread recognition due to their superior comfort. Whether in business, leisure, or sports settings, the application of knitted fabrics is becoming increasingly widespread.

[0003] In existing technologies, the main way to improve moisture wicking and breathability is to add air holes to the fabric, but there is a lack of active moisture wicking structures, resulting in limited performance.

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies, existing technology (Chinese patent publication number: CN218228143U, application date: 2023-01-06) discloses a moisture-wicking and breathable knitted fabric, comprising a knitted outer layer, a knitted transition layer, and a knitted inner layer sequentially compounded. The knitted outer layer has multiple first through-holes, the knitted transition layer has multiple second through-holes, and the knitted inner layer has multiple third through-holes. A plurality of first through-holes, second through-holes, and third through-holes form a moisture-wicking channel, and multiple moisture-guiding fibers are disposed within the moisture-wicking channel. This invention's moisture-wicking and breathable knitted fabric, by setting up a moisture-wicking channel, achieves both breathability and improved moisture-wicking capacity. Furthermore, the moisture-guiding fibers enable the fabric to both absorb and wick away moisture, further enhancing its ability to expel sweat and significantly improving the fabric's comfort.

[0005] While the above design can solve the aforementioned problems, the existing design has poor heat dissipation when worn by the user, which can lead to stuffiness and heat when worn close to the skin for a long time. The lack of breathability over a long period of time will worsen the wearing experience. At the same time, when the user sweats, the existing fabric design is not breathable enough, which will retain sweat inside the fabric, making the fabric prone to odor and difficult to clean. In addition, the fabric's tensile strength is insufficient, making the garment prone to deformation after washing. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breathable and moisture-wicking knitted fabric to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor heat dissipation in existing designs when worn by users, which leads to stuffiness after prolonged close-fitting use, poor breathability over time, and a deterioration in wearing experience. In addition, when users sweat, the existing fabric design lacks breathability, which traps sweat inside the fabric, making it prone to odor and difficult to clean. Furthermore, the fabric's insufficient tensile strength makes the garment prone to deformation after washing.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a breathable and moisture-wicking knitted fabric, comprising a sweat-absorbing protective layer and a supporting elastic layer, wherein a first interlocking layer is installed on the lower surface of the sweat-absorbing protective layer, and an elastic abutting mechanism for abutting an elastic pressing member is installed on the lower surface of the first interlocking layer, wherein the elastic abutting mechanism includes a second interlocking layer, and the second interlocking layer has a top protrusion design, wherein the top protrusion of the second interlocking layer and the lower end of the first interlocking layer are designed to interlock with each other, and a breathable filter layer is installed on the lower surface of the second interlocking layer; a protective hollow frame is installed on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer, and a stable contraction mechanism for fixing the longitudinal elastic rope is installed inside the protective hollow frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the stabilizing contraction mechanism includes a fitting extension member, and the top of the fitting extension member is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the protective hollow frame is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer, and a transverse elastic rope is installed inside the fitting extension member.

[0010] Furthermore, a supporting elastic layer is installed on the lower surface of the breathable filter layer, and an elastic pressing member is installed inside the supporting elastic layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the elastic pressure member is in contact with the lower surface of the breathable filter layer, and the elastic pressure member has a vertically contracting design.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower surface of the first interlocking layer contacts the upper surface of the second interlocking layer to form a sliding mechanism, and the breathable filter layer has a breathable hollow design.

[0013] Furthermore, the longitudinal elastic cord is also nested inside the interlocking extension piece, and the transverse elastic cord and the longitudinal elastic cord have multiple sets of 90-degree interlocking designs. Moreover, the sweat-absorbing protective layer is fixed with two sets of cords above and below the center point of the fabric.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the user sweats after wearing the breathable and moisture-wicking knitted fabric, the breathable filter layer will expel the heat from the outside and allow air to pass through the fabric efficiently and come into contact with the skin, making the user cooler. At the same time, the combination of the support elastic layer and the elastic pressure piece makes the fabric more comfortable to use. This design ensures that there will be no stuffiness even after long-term close-fitting use, and the experience will not be affected after long-term wear.

[0015] Furthermore, when the fabric is stretched longitudinally, the interlocking extension piece, the transverse elastic cord and the longitudinal elastic cord will deform accordingly. The transverse elastic cord and the longitudinal elastic cord are designed to be interwoven, which increases the extensibility of the fabric and allows it to quickly return to its original shape. This design improves the breathability of the fabric and prevents sweat from being trapped inside the fabric. The fabric also has better tensile strength, making the clothes less likely to deform after washing.

[0016] Furthermore, a sweat-absorbing protective layer is designed on both the top and bottom sides of the fabric to keep the user's contact surface dry at all times, while the design of the protective hollow frame makes the fabric more three-dimensional. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6The present invention provides the following technical solution: a breathable and moisture-wicking knitted fabric, comprising a sweat-absorbing protective layer 1 and a supporting elastic layer 5, wherein a first interlocking layer 2 is installed on the lower surface of the sweat-absorbing protective layer 1, and an elastic abutting mechanism for abutting an elastic pressing member 6 is installed on the lower surface of the first interlocking layer 2, the elastic abutting mechanism comprising a second interlocking layer 3, wherein the second interlocking layer 3 has a top protrusion design, the top protrusion of the second interlocking layer 3 and the lower end of the first interlocking layer 2 are designed to interlock with each other, and a breathable filter layer 4 is installed on the lower surface of the second interlocking layer 3, a protective hollow frame 7 is installed on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer 5, and a stable contraction mechanism for fixing the longitudinal elastic rope 10 is installed inside the protective hollow frame 7.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The technical solution shown herein addresses the problem that existing designs suffer from poor heat dissipation when worn by users, leading to stuffiness and a deteriorating wearing experience due to prolonged close contact with the skin. It discloses that: a supporting elastic layer 5 is installed on the lower surface of the breathable filter layer 4, and an elastic pressing member 6 is installed inside the supporting elastic layer 5. The top of the elastic pressing member 6 contacts the lower surface of the breathable filter layer 4, and the elastic pressing member 6 has a vertically contracting design. The lower surface of the first interlocking layer 2 contacts the upper surface of the second interlocking layer 3 to form a sliding mechanism, and the breathable filter layer 4 has a breathable perforated design.

[0027] When a user wears the garment, after completing a certain amount of exercise, the user will sweat. At this time, the sweat will be directly absorbed by the outermost sweat-absorbing protective layer 1 of the fabric. At the same time, the fabric will become damp. The sweat-absorbing protective layer 1 will maintain stable contact through the interlocking of the lower end of the first interlocking layer 2 and the upper end of the second interlocking layer 3, so that the fabric will not become loose. During the user's wearing process, when compression occurs, the pressure will directly contact the interior of the supporting elastic layer 5 through the sweat-absorbing protective layer 1, the first interlocking layer 2, and the second interlocking layer 3. Since multiple sets of elastic pressing members 6 are stably fixed inside the supporting elastic layer 5, the elastic pressing members 6 will be squeezed vertically due to the pressure, making the fabric softer to the touch, increasing the comfort of use, and ensuring the rapid rebound of the fabric.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The technical solution shown addresses the problem that existing fabric designs lack breathability when the user sweats, trapping sweat inside the fabric and causing odors and difficulty in cleaning. It also addresses the issue of insufficient tensile strength, leading to garment deformation after washing. The solution discloses a stable shrinkage mechanism comprising an interlocking extension member 8, with its top fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer 5. A protective hollow frame 7 is also fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer 5. A transverse elastic cord 9 is installed inside the interlocking extension member 8, and a longitudinal elastic cord 10 is similarly nested inside the interlocking extension member 8. The transverse elastic cord 9 and the longitudinal elastic cord 10 have multiple sets of 90-degree interlocking designs. Furthermore, the sweat-absorbing protective layer 1 has two sets of fixed sections above and below the center point of the fabric.

[0029] After sweat is absorbed by the sweat-absorbing protective layer 1, the user's skin remains dry. At this time, the breathable filter layer 4 designed in the middle of the fabric will dissipate heat from the skin surface and increase the contact efficiency between the skin and the air, making the body surface cool down faster. When the fabric is stretched laterally or diagonally, the multiple sets of protective hollow frames 7 fixed on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer 5 will deform. At the same time, the horizontally fixed interlocking extension piece 8 will extend and deform the internally nested horizontal elastic rope 9 synchronously. The vertical elastic rope 10 fixed on the lower surface of the supporting elastic layer 5 will also deform accordingly. Since the horizontal elastic rope 9 and the vertical elastic rope 10 are fixed at a 90-degree angle to each other, the fabric can quickly return to its original position. At the same time, the protective hollow frame 7 can provide external protection for the interlocking extension piece 8, the horizontal elastic rope 9 and the vertical elastic rope 10, making the fabric more stable.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
