AI Technical Summary
Existing knitted fabrics, when absorbing and releasing moisture, have a slow rate of moisture release after localized moisture absorption capacity is saturated, and the moisture release area is limited, making it difficult to effectively cope with sweating on the skin surface.
The first yarn is formed by twisting island fiber bundles to create a sparse structure. Combined with a hydrophobic third yarn and a hydrophilic second yarn, the longitudinal moisture conduction and transverse moisture dissipation capabilities are improved through capillary effect and diffusion mechanism, thereby increasing the moisture dissipation area.
It improves the moisture absorption and wicking speed of knitted fabrics, expands the moisture wicking area, enhances the moisture absorption and wicking capacity of knitted fabrics, and keeps the fabric surface dry.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the textile field, and more specifically, to a moisture-wicking knitted fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Knitted fabric is a textile formed by interlocking and looping yarns. Because it has better stretch and softness than woven fabric, it is often used in the production of clothing.
[0003] For some close-fitting garments, the knitted fabrics used often need to cope with sweating on the skin, that is, the knitted fabrics need to have a certain moisture absorption and wicking capacity. However, when existing knitted fabrics absorb and wick away moisture, they generally only absorb and wick away moisture in the part that is in contact with sweat. After the local moisture absorption capacity is saturated, the moisture absorption speed is slow and the moisture wicking area is limited. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moisture-wicking knitted fabric.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a moisture-wicking knitted fabric, comprising a base layer, wherein the base layer comprises a first yarn and a second yarn, wherein any first yarn forms a sparse structure on a single warp, the minimum knitting cycle of the second yarn spans at least three stitch lengths in the transverse direction, and any first yarn is connected to at least two second yarns.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the first yarn is fully threaded through.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a plurality of the second yarns are spaced apart in the transverse direction.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the padding number of the first yarn is 4-4 / 4-5 / 4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 / / full thread, and the padding number of the second yarn is 3-2 / 2-0 / 1-2 / 2-4 / / one thread and two empty threads.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the base layer also includes a third yarn, the third yarn forms a warp plain weave, and the third yarn is made of a hydrophobic material.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the first yarn is formed by twisting island fiber bundles.
[0011] In summary, this invention has the following beneficial effects: the island fiber bundle has a porous structure, which improves the moisture-wicking speed of the first yarn through capillary effect. Moisture is quickly transferred longitudinally through the first yarn to different positions of the two adjacent second yarns, and then the moisture diffuses laterally along the second yarns. By distributing the moisture, the humidity of the knitted fabric is reduced to a certain extent, thereby improving the moisture absorption speed of the knitted fabric. The second yarn has a longer path length and a larger moisture dissipation area. By increasing the effective moisture dissipation area, the moisture dissipation speed is improved, thereby improving the moisture absorption and perspiration wicking capacity of the knitted fabric. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the structure of the first yarn in this invention;
[0013] Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the structure of the second yarn in this invention;
[0014] Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the structure of the third yarn in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] Example: A moisture-wicking knitted fabric, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base layer, which includes a first yarn and a second yarn. Either first yarn forms a sparse structure on a single warp. The minimum weave cycle of the second yarn spans at least three stitch lengths in the transverse direction. Either first yarn is connected to at least two second yarns. The first yarn is made by twisting island fiber bundles.
[0017] Specifically, the base layer is woven in one piece by a warp knitting machine, the second yarn is made of twisted cotton fiber bundles, and the first yarn is made of twisted three-strand island fiber bundles. The island fiber bundles have a porous structure, which improves the moisture wicking speed of the first yarn through capillary effect. At the same time, the path of the first yarn is shorter than that of the second yarn, and each first yarn is connected to two second yarns. Therefore, moisture is quickly transferred longitudinally through the first yarn to different positions of the two adjacent second yarns, and then the moisture diffuses laterally along the second yarn. By distributing the moisture, the humidity of the knitted fabric is reduced to a certain extent, thereby improving the moisture absorption speed of the knitted fabric. The second yarn has a longer path length and a larger moisture dissipation area. By increasing the effective moisture dissipation area, the moisture dissipation speed is improved, thereby improving the moisture absorption and perspiration wicking capacity of the knitted fabric.
[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the first yarn is fully threaded, and several second yarns are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The padding numbers of the first yarn are 4-4 / 4-5 / 4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 / / fully threaded, and the padding numbers of the second yarns are 3-2 / 2-0 / 1-2 / 2-4 / / one threaded and two empty. The base layer also includes a third yarn, which forms a warp plain weave. The third yarn is made of a hydrophobic material.
[0019] Specifically, the density of the first yarn is increased by using a full-length weave to further improve the moisture-wicking capacity of the knitted fabric in the longitudinal direction. The adjacent second yarns are independent of each other, and the first and second yarns float on both sides of the third yarn to avoid the overlap of the second yarns affecting moisture dissipation. The third yarn is made of twisted polyester fiber bundles, which are hydrophobic. At this time, the hydrophilicity of the first yarn and the third yarn is less than that of the second yarn, ensuring that moisture is concentrated at the second yarn and keeping one side of the knitted fabric dry. At the same time, the third yarn improves the structural stability of the knitted fabric.
[0020] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
