Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of textile technology, and more particularly to a fabric and clothing. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers' demands for the functionality, aesthetics, and comfort of clothing continue to rise, fashion fabric design faces higher requirements. Especially in spring and summer, people expect fabrics to simultaneously possess excellent breathability and moisture permeability, UV protection, and opacity, along with a sophisticated and high-end feel. However, there is a conflict between breathability and moisture permeability and UV protection. Generally, the better the breathability and moisture permeability of a fabric, the looser its fiber structure, allowing UV rays to penetrate more easily, leading to a decrease in sun protection. Conversely, fabrics with high sun protection often use a dense structure, but this reduces breathability and affects wearing comfort. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve both breathability and moisture permeability simultaneously. Poor opacity can cause underwear colors or silhouettes to show, affecting aesthetics, while improving opacity usually requires increasing fabric density, which in turn hinders airflow and reduces comfort.

[0003] In other words, it is difficult to achieve a balance between breathability, sun protection, and impermeability in fabrics. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fabric and clothing that can ensure comfort and breathability while also having excellent UV protection and breathability.

[0005] This application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a fabric having an inner lining layer and a fleece layer. The inner lining layer has air-permeable gaps arranged in a distributed manner. The fleece layer is located outside the inner lining layer, and the fleece of the fleece layer is arranged obliquely towards the inner lining layer, so that the fleece layer can at least partially block the air-permeable gaps.

[0007] In some embodiments of the first aspect, all the fibers of the pile layer are arranged with the same skew direction and skew angle.

[0008] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the length of the fluff is L, and satisfies: 0.3mm ≤ L ≤ 2mm.

[0009] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the skew angle formed between the fluff and the inner substrate layer is A, and satisfies: 30°≤A≤80°.

[0010] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the inner substrate layer comprises:

[0011] The back comb bar, which is a braided structure, is used to fix the root of the fibers and provide longitudinal stability;

[0012] The front comb, which is a plain warp weave and / or satin warp weave, is used to enhance the lateral elasticity and surface softness of the fabric.

[0013] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the inner lining layer is woven from one or more of polyester, nylon, viscose, silk fibers, and spandex;

[0014] And / or, the pile layer is woven from one or more of bright polyester, bright nylon, silk, Tencel, viscose and acetate yarn;

[0015] And / or, the surface of the pile has a gloss-modified layer or a smooth, glossy surface formed by high-temperature and high-pressure heat treatment.

[0016] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the pile layer is configured as a fabric structure having multiple loops formed by loop weaving yarns, the loops being cut to form upright pile.

[0017] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the loops of the fabric structure are formed by continuous weaving from the same yarn.

[0018] In some embodiments of the first aspect, at least one yarn of the fabric is coated with an inorganic particle layer, the content of the inorganic particle layer being W, and satisfying: W < 0.5%;

[0019] Furthermore, the reflectance of the yarn is R, and satisfies: R≥60%.

[0020] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide clothing, the clothing comprising the fabric described in any of the above embodiments.

[0021] The embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0022] This application provides a fabric with a double-layer composite structure, including an inner lining layer and an outer fleece layer. The inner lining layer achieves basic breathability and moisture permeability through distributed breathable gaps, ensuring rapid sweat evaporation. The fleece layer addresses UV protection and breathability through both physical coverage and optical scattering. The fleece fibers of the fleece layer are angled towards the inner lining layer, forming a non-vertical coverage. This design allows the fleece to partially block the breathable gaps of the inner lining layer, reducing the probability of light directly penetrating the gaps from an external perspective, thereby improving breathability (preventing underwear from showing). Simultaneously, the angled fleece fibers reflect / scatter ultraviolet rays multiple times, extending the propagation path of ultraviolet rays between fibers and enhancing the UPF (ultraviolet protection factor). The breathable gaps are not completely sealed by the fleece, retaining airflow channels. When the body moves, the fleece fibers oscillate due to external forces (such as wind or friction), further adjusting the actual open area of ​​the gaps to achieve dynamic breathability. When stationary, breathability / sun protection is prioritized, while breathability increases during movement.

[0023] Therefore, the breathable gaps in the inner lining layer directly maintain airflow, while the slanted configuration of the fleece layer prevents complete blockage of these gaps, ensuring comfort. The fleece layer scatters / absorbs ultraviolet rays through its dense fiber network and slanted angle. Furthermore, the dual effect of fleece blocking and light scattering allows the fabric to be breathable while avoiding see-through embarrassment, achieving "wet-proof but colorproof." At the same time, the soft touch of the fleece layer enhances the fabric's premium feel, and the slanted design avoids the stiffness of traditional sun-protective fabrics.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0034] In related technologies, as consumers' demands for the functionality, aesthetics, and comfort of clothing continue to rise, the design of fashion fabrics faces higher requirements. Especially in spring and summer, people expect fabrics to simultaneously possess excellent breathability and moisture permeability, UV protection, and transparency, as well as a refined, high-end feel. However, there is a conflict between breathability and moisture permeability and UV protection. Generally, the better the breathability and moisture permeability of a fabric, the looser its fiber structure, allowing UV rays to penetrate more easily, leading to a decrease in sun protection. Conversely, fabrics with high sun protection often use a dense structure, but this reduces breathability and affects wearing comfort. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve both breathability and moisture permeability and transparency simultaneously. Poor transparency can cause underwear colors or silhouettes to show, affecting aesthetics, while improving transparency usually requires increasing fabric density, which in turn hinders airflow and reduces comfort. In other words, it is difficult to achieve a balance between breathability, sun protection, and transparency in fabrics.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a fabric having an inner substrate layer 1 and a pile layer 2. The inner substrate layer 1 has air-permeable gaps arranged in a distributed manner. The pile layer 2 is located on the outside of the inner substrate layer 1, and the pile of the pile layer 2 is inclined towards the inner substrate layer 1, so that the pile layer 2 can at least partially block the air-permeable gaps.

[0036] In these embodiments, this embodiment provides a fabric including an inner lining layer 1 and a fleece layer 2. The inner lining layer 1 is woven from a moisture-wicking fiber material, such as a polyester fiber fabric with a porous structure. The surface of the inner lining layer 1 has distributed breathable gaps, which are naturally formed gaps between fibers, or their size and distribution density can be artificially controlled through specific weaving processes (such as mesh weave) to ensure the overall breathability and comfort of the fabric.

[0037] The pile layer 2 is disposed on the outer side of the inner lining layer 1, and preferably formed on the outer surface of the fabric using a napping process. The pile of the pile layer 2 is not perpendicular to the fabric surface, but is inclined towards the inner lining layer 1. This inclined structure allows the pile to partially cover and block the breathable gaps, thereby reducing the path of ultraviolet rays and improving the visual shielding effect without affecting the overall breathability, thus enhancing the anti-permeability performance.

[0038] For example, in actual production, this structure can be implemented using the following method:

[0039] A double-sided knitting machine is selected, and the inner layer is formed by plain weave or mesh structure to form the inner lining layer 1;

[0040] The outer layer is made of napped yarn, which is formed into a pile layer with a certain length and density through a special napping process;

[0041] In the post-finishing stage, the fibers of the pile layer 2 are tilted at a set angle toward the inner substrate layer 1 by means of directional brushing or electrostatic flocking.

[0042] Optionally, the fleece layer 2 may be treated with UV protection, such as by impregnating it with a UV absorber or by using fibers that inherently possess UV protection properties (such as polyester with added TiO2) to further enhance its sun protection performance.

[0043] In other words, the fabric adopts a double-layer composite structure, including an inner lining layer 1 and an outer fleece layer 2. The inner lining layer 1 achieves basic breathability and moisture permeability through distributed breathable gaps, ensuring that sweat is quickly expelled. The fleece layer 2 solves the problems of UV protection and breathability through both physical coverage and optical scattering. The fleece of the fleece layer 2 is inclined towards the inner lining layer 1 at a specific angle, forming a non-vertical coverage. This design allows the fleece to partially block the breathable gaps of the inner lining layer 1, reducing the probability of light directly penetrating the gaps from an external perspective, thereby improving breathability (preventing underwear from showing). At the same time, the inclined fleece reflects / scatters ultraviolet rays multiple times, extending the propagation path of ultraviolet rays between fibers and enhancing the UPF (ultraviolet protection factor). The breathable gaps are not completely sealed by the fleece, retaining air circulation channels. When the human body moves, the fleece swings due to external forces (such as wind and friction), further adjusting the actual open area of ​​the gaps to achieve dynamic breathability—prioritizing breathability / sun protection when stationary, and enhancing breathability during movement.

[0044] Therefore, the breathable gaps in the inner lining layer 1 directly maintain airflow, while the slanted configuration of the fleece layer 2 prevents complete blockage of these gaps, ensuring comfort. The fleece layer 2 scatters / absorbs ultraviolet rays through its dense fiber network and slanted angle. Furthermore, the dual effect of fleece blocking and light scattering allows the fabric to be breathable while avoiding see-through embarrassment, achieving "wet-proof but color-proof." At the same time, the soft touch of the fleece layer 2 enhances the fabric's premium feel, and the slanted configuration avoids the stiffness of traditional sun-protective fabrics.

[0045] In some embodiments, all the fibers of the pile layer 2 are arranged with the same skew direction and skew angle.

[0046] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided above, a further improvement is made in that all the pile of the pile layer 2 is set with the same skew direction and skew angle.

[0047] Specifically, each pile in the pile layer 2 is tilted at the same angle toward the inner substrate layer 1, and the tilting direction of all piles is consistent, for example, uniformly tilted toward a fixed direction in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the fabric. For example, all the piles are arranged in a square array.

[0048] For example, after the napping process, a brushing device with directional function is used to comb the surface of the pile layer 2 in a directional manner, so that the pile is neatly arranged in a set direction. Subsequently, the tilt direction and angle of the pile are fixed by heat setting or electrostatic treatment.

[0049] To enhance the directional effect, a small amount of adhesive can be used during the finishing process to lightly fix the fabric surface, preventing the pile from flattening or deforming during subsequent wear or washing.

[0050] Through the above process control, each fiber in the pile layer 2 has a uniform oblique direction and oblique angle, thereby achieving the following beneficial effects:

[0051] With the pile aligned in the same direction, it more evenly blocks the breathable gaps in the inner lining layer 1, avoiding problems such as uneven light or color transmission. The oriented pile layer 2 presents a smoother and finer appearance, enhancing the fabric's premium feel. The uniform tilt direction helps maintain consistency in UV protection and breathability, improving the overall wearing experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, the length of the fluff is L, and satisfies: 0.3mm≤L≤2mm.

[0053] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that the pile length L in the pile layer 2 is controlled between 0.3 mm and 2 mm.

[0054] Specifically, the length L of each fiber in the pile layer 2 is selected from an optimized parameter range obtained after extensive experimental verification. Optionally, laser trimming or physical cutting can be used in the post-finishing stage to fine-tune excessively long or uneven fibers.

[0055] When L<0.3mm: the pile is too short, making it difficult to effectively block the air gap of the inner substrate layer 1, affecting the anti-penetration performance and UV resistance performance;

[0056] When L>2mm: Excessively long pile will cause the surface to be too fluffy, reduce the smoothness of the fabric, affect wearing comfort, and may cause problems such as the pile being easy to flatten and attract dust.

[0057] Within the range of 0.3mm to 2mm: the pile can form an effective shielding layer, partially covering the breathable gaps, improving the waterproof and UV protection performance, without significantly affecting breathability, while maintaining a good feel and smooth appearance.

[0058] For example, the length of the fluff can be 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, or 2.0mm, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, the skew angle formed between the fibers and the inner substrate layer 1 is A, and satisfies: 30°≤A≤80°.

[0060] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that the skew angle A formed between the pile in the pile layer 2 and the inner lining layer 1 is controlled between 30° and 80°.

[0061] Specifically, each fiber of the pile layer 2 is tilted at a certain angle toward the inner substrate layer 1, and the tilt angle A is defined as the angle between the fiber and its projection perpendicular to the surface of the inner substrate layer 1.

[0062] After the napping process is completed, a finishing device with directional brushing function is used to comb the outer surface of the fabric in one direction; the tilt angle and pressure of the brushing roller are controlled so that the pile is neatly arranged at a set angle; then the tilt angle of the pile is fixed by heat setting treatment; optionally, in the electrostatic flocking process, the pile arrangement angle is controlled by adjusting the direction of the electric field, so as to obtain a more uniform and consistent tilt angle.

[0063] When A < 30°: the pile is too flat, and the effect of blocking the air gaps is weak, resulting in a decrease in the waterproof and UV protection performance;

[0064] When A>80°: the pile is almost upright, which enhances the shading effect but increases the air resistance, affecting the overall breathability; at the same time, the pile is prone to flattening, affecting the stability during wearing.

[0065] Within the range of 30° to 80°: the fleece can effectively partially cover the air gaps, improving the UV shielding ability and visual shielding performance without significantly reducing breathability, while maintaining a good feel and smoothness.

[0066] For example, A can be 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75° or 80°, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, the inner lining layer 1 includes a back comb bar and a front comb bar. The back comb bar is a chain weave used to secure the roots of the pile and provide longitudinal stability. The front comb bar is a plain warp weave and / or satin warp weave used to enhance the transverse elasticity and surface softness of the fabric.

[0068] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: the inner lining layer 1 adopts a double comb knitted structure, wherein the back comb adopts a chain knitted structure, and the front comb adopts a warp plain knit and / or warp satin knit.

[0069] Back comb: It adopts a chain weave structure, in which one or more yarns are wound into loops and connected in series to form a chain-like structure. This structure has high longitudinal strength and stability, which can effectively fix the root of the pile layer 2, prevent the pile from shifting or falling off during use, and improve the overall structural strength and durability.

[0070] Front comb: Utilizes a plain warp weave and / or satin warp weave. This type of weave structure is formed by the yarns crossing in the weft direction, providing excellent lateral stretch and a soft touch. This design makes the fabric more delicate and comfortable against the skin, while also enhancing the fabric's lateral elasticity, improving adaptability and comfort when worn.

[0071] The above structure can be achieved through the following process steps: A double-needle bed Raschel warp knitting machine or a multi-comb warp knitting machine is selected. The back comb uses polyester, spandex, or other high-strength fiber yarns to knit a stable chain structure. The front comb uses fine denier polyester, nylon, or blended yarns to knit a plain warp or satin warp structure. After completing the basic knitting structure, a napping process is performed on one side of the front comb to form the pile layer 2. During the finishing stage, the pile tilt angle and length are controlled to ensure functionality and appearance quality.

[0072] Through the above structural design, this fabric maintains good breathability and also has the following advantages:

[0073] The chain weave of the back comb effectively enhances the fabric's longitudinal tensile strength and prevents deformation. The warp plain / satin weave of the front comb gives the fabric good lateral stretch, improving the fit. The front comb structure combined with the pile layer 2 design makes the fabric softer against the skin, enhancing the wearing experience. The pile roots are firmly secured by the back comb, preventing them from falling off and extending the fabric's lifespan.

[0074] In some embodiments, the inner substrate layer 1 is woven from one or more of polyester, nylon, viscose, silk fibers and spandex.

[0075] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: the inner lining layer 1 is woven from one or more fiber materials selected from polyester, nylon, viscose, silk fiber and spandex.

[0076] Specifically, the inner lining layer 1 is preferably woven using one or more of the following fiber combinations:

[0077] Polyester: It has good strength, abrasion resistance and wrinkle resistance, and is suitable for improving the overall durability of fabrics and cost control;

[0078] Nylon: It has excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for clothing styles that require high elasticity;

[0079] Adhesive: It has good moisture absorption and a soft feel, which helps to improve the comfort against the skin;

[0080] Silk fiber: a natural protein fiber with excellent hand feel and skin-friendliness, suitable for high-end products;

[0081] Spandex: Provides excellent elastic recovery, enhancing the fabric's adaptability and fit.

[0082] Furthermore, the base layer, made of polyester, nylon, viscose, silk fibers, and spandex, provides the fabric with excellent softness and comfort, significantly enhancing the overall comfort of the plush. The finely selected polyester fibers offer good abrasion resistance, strength, and dryness, giving the plush surface excellent abrasion and tensile strength, making it less prone to damage and greatly extending its lifespan.

[0083] In some embodiments, the pile layer 2 is woven from one or more of bright polyester, bright nylon, silk, Tencel, viscose, and acetate yarn.

[0084] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: the pile layer 2 is woven from one or more fiber materials selected from bright polyester, bright nylon, silk, Tencel, viscose and acetate yarn.

[0085] Specifically, the pile layer 2 is preferably woven using one or more of the following fiber combinations:

[0086] Bright polyester: It has a good luster and UV protection properties, making it suitable for enhancing the appearance and texture of fabrics and providing sun protection.

[0087] Glossy nylon: possesses excellent abrasion resistance and luster, suitable for enhancing fabric durability and visual appeal;

[0088] Silk: A natural protein fiber with a soft luster and delicate feel, suitable for high-end apparel products;

[0089] Tencel: Regenerated cellulose fiber, environmentally friendly and biodegradable, with good moisture absorption and breathability, and a soft touch;

[0090] Viscose: It has strong moisture absorption and a soft feel, which helps to improve wearing comfort;

[0091] Acetate yarn: With a silky sheen and smooth feel, it is suitable for creating a high-end fabric look.

[0092] The aforementioned fibers can be used individually or in combination, depending on the specific needs. For example, for products emphasizing UV protection, bright polyester or bright nylon can be used as the main raw material. For products prioritizing environmental friendliness and comfort, Tencel and viscose blended yarns can be used. For high-end fashion apparel, a combination of silk and acetate yarns can be used to achieve a more sophisticated visual and tactile experience.

[0093] By carefully selecting the types and proportions of fibers used in the pile layer 2, the use of bright fibers imparts an elegant luster to the fabric, enhancing its visual appeal. Some synthetic fibers themselves possess good UV shielding properties. Fibers such as Tencel and viscose make the pile layer 2 softer and more skin-friendly.

[0094] In some embodiments, the surface of the pile has a gloss-modified layer or a smooth, glossy surface formed by high-temperature, high-pressure heat treatment.

[0095] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: the pile surface in the pile layer 2 is provided with a gloss-modifying layer, or a surface structure with a smooth gloss is formed by high-temperature and high-pressure ironing.

[0096] Specifically, in order to improve the appearance and premium feel of the fabric, while enhancing its stain resistance and surface smoothness, the pile of the pile layer 2 underwent one or a combination of the following surface treatments:

[0097] Gloss additive modified layer

[0098] In the finishing stage, the outer layer of the fabric is dipped or sprayed with environmentally friendly gloss finishing agents, such as silicone, wax, or nano-scale metal oxide coating materials.

[0099] This additive forms a transparent or semi-transparent glossy film on the surface of the pile, giving the pile a soft, silky sheen.

[0100] Meanwhile, this gloss layer also possesses certain hydrophobic and stain-resistant properties, helping to improve the fabric's ease of care. The gloss auxiliaries are preferably water-based and environmentally friendly materials to avoid affecting breathability and hand feel.

[0101] High temperature and high pressure heat treatment

[0102] After the fabric undergoes the napping and brushing processes, it enters a high-temperature, high-pressure ironing and shaping device. The temperature is controlled between 120 and 180°C, and the pressure between 0.3 and 0.6 MPa, to perform directional calendering on the outer surface of the fabric. This process makes the originally slightly fluffy nap surface smoother and gives it a mirror-like reflective effect, significantly enhancing its visual texture.

[0103] At the same time, this treatment can also enhance the consistency of the pile arrangement, improve the shading performance and UV blocking effect.

[0104] The above two processing methods can be used individually or in combination, depending on the product positioning. For example:

[0105] For high-end formal wear, we prioritize the use of a combination of gloss auxiliaries and high-temperature calendering to achieve an extremely delicate gloss.

[0106] For functional outdoor clothing, only a gloss finish can be used to balance protective performance and a comfortable feel.

[0107] Through the aforementioned surface treatments, the fabric achieves a uniform sheen on its napped surface, enhancing its premium and fashionable appeal. The gloss layer or calendering process improves the fabric's smoothness and reduces friction discomfort. Some treatments also provide additional properties such as water resistance, stain resistance, and antistatic properties. The appearance and feel are optimized without sacrificing breathability, UV protection, and transparency.

[0108] In some embodiments, the pile layer 2 is configured as a fabric structure with multiple loops formed by loop weaving yarn, and the loops are cut to form upright pile.

[0109] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: the pile layer 2 is formed by weaving a loop structure and then cutting it to form an upright pile structure.

[0110] Specifically, the preparation process of the fluff layer 2 includes the following steps:

[0111] Terry knitting:

[0112] Using knitting equipment (such as a double-needle bed warp knitting machine or a weft knitting machine specifically designed for pile knitting), the yarn is woven into a fabric with a loop structure. The loops are regularly distributed along the fabric surface, and their height can be controlled according to the final pile length requirements.

[0113] Yarns can be made of bright polyester, Tencel, viscose, acetate and other fiber materials to meet different functional and appearance requirements.

[0114] Terry cloth cutting process:

[0115] In the finishing stage, precision tools or laser cutting devices are used to make transverse cuts on the fabric surface of the loops. The cuts are made at approximately 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the way down the loop, dividing each loop into two independent short loops or directly transforming it into upright pile. After combing and shaping, a neatly arranged upright pile structure is formed, evenly covering the outer side of the inner lining layer 1.

[0116] Pile orientation treatment:

[0117] To further enhance shielding performance and appearance consistency, the fabric can be directionally brushed after cutting. Combined with a heat-setting process, the pile is tilted at a set angle towards the inner lining layer 1, thereby partially blocking the breathable gaps and enhancing UV resistance and impermeability.

[0118] This structure and manufacturing method ensures consistency in pile length and distribution by precisely controlling the density and cutting position of the loops. The loops are continuously woven from yarn, with a firm base that prevents them from falling off, thus improving fabric durability. Compared to traditional flocking processes, this method is easier to industrialize and has controllable costs. The pile layer 2 can undergo functional treatments such as UV protection, gloss finishing, and antibacterial treatment before and after cutting.

[0119] It can be used in various clothing categories such as T-shirts, sun protection clothing, and dresses, combining functionality and aesthetics.

[0120] In some embodiments, the loops of the fabric structure are formed by continuously weaving the same yarn.

[0121] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: in the fabric structure of the pile layer 2 or the inner lining layer 1, the loop warp is continuously woven from the same yarn.

[0122] Specifically, this structure applies to at least a portion of the pile layer 2 or the inner lining layer 1 of the fabric. For example, in a warp-knitted structure, a loop wale (i.e., a row of loops arranged longitudinally along the fabric) is continuously woven from a single yarn, rather than being formed by splicing or interrupting multiple yarn segments.

[0123] Each wale is continuously fed and woven from a single yarn, ensuring a seamless weft. The yarn used can be polyester, nylon, Tencel, viscose, or other fiber materials.

[0124] Precise control of yarn tension during the weaving process ensures uniform and consistent loop shape, avoiding structural defects caused by uneven tension.

[0125] Through the above structure, the fabric achieves a reduction in the number of yarn splices and an improvement in longitudinal strength and anti-unraveling ability because the warp loops are continuously woven from the same yarn. The continuous yarn structure reduces exposed yarn ends, lowering the risk of pilling and snagging.

[0126] In some embodiments, at least one yarn of the fabric is coated with an inorganic particle layer, the content of the inorganic particle layer being W, and satisfying: W < 0.5%;

[0127] Furthermore, the reflectance of the yarn is R, and it satisfies the condition: R≥60%.

[0128] In these embodiments, based on the fabric structure provided in the foregoing embodiments, a further improvement is made in that: at least one yarn in the fabric is coated with an inorganic particle layer, the content W of the inorganic particle layer is controlled to be below 0.5%, and the reflectivity R of the yarn is not less than 60%.

[0129] Specifically, in order to improve the fabric's UV resistance and appearance, while avoiding problems such as stiffness and reduced breathability caused by excessive use of functional materials, the yarns used underwent the following functional treatments:

[0130] Inorganic particle layer coating process

[0131] Inorganic particles can be selected from nano- or micro-sized particles with excellent ultraviolet reflection or scattering capabilities, such as zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

[0132] The coating method adopts a pad-dry-set process, or the particles are added into the fiber through spinning masterbatch (applicable to some synthetic fibers);

[0133] The total mass percentage (W) of inorganic particles in the yarn is controlled to be less than 0.5%, preferably 0.1% to 0.4%, to ensure good functionality without affecting the original properties of the yarn.

[0134] Reflectivity R is defined as the average proportion of visible and near-ultraviolet light reflected by the yarn surface. In this embodiment, the yarn reflectivity R is ≥60% by selecting base fibers with inherently high reflectivity (such as bright polyester or bright nylon). This is combined with the high reflectivity of inorganic particles to enhance the overall reflective effect. In the finishing stage, the fabric is treated with gloss auxiliaries or subjected to high-temperature calendering to improve surface smoothness and specular reflectivity.

[0135] Furthermore, it should be emphasized that, compared with the prior art, the fabric provided in this application has the following advantages:

[0136] It has a silky smooth, soft, and skin-friendly feel, with a beautiful drape; it possesses excellent weft elasticity and low static electricity; the fabric is dimensionally stable, with excellent colorfastness, a high-end luster, and a fashionable ice flower effect, while also offering superior comfort, UV protection, and breathability, and maintaining a refined high-end luster (luster level ≥ 5).

[0137] Regarding gloss levels, please refer to Table 1 for the gloss levels and descriptions:

[0138] Table 1

[0139] grade Gloss description (Gloss) Reference Material Level 1 Dull, non-reflective diffuse light, dim and without luster For example: earthy luster Level 2 It has no luster, reflects no light, and has some diffuse light. It is quite dim. For example: waxy sucrose Level 3 Lacking luster, with no reflected light, and exhibiting weak diffused light, it is rather dim. For example: milky white luster Level 4 It has a low gloss, reflects very little light, and has a slightly duller sheen due to the diffuse reflection of some light. For example: resinous or oily luster Level 5 It is diffused, with poor reflection, and the diffused light is relatively uniform, neither dim nor soft. For example: semi-metallic luster Level 6 It has a glossy finish, reflects light with a slightly strong but uneven distribution, and exhibits concentrated, very strong light in certain areas, while the gloss is somewhat softer. For example: glass, mirror finish Level 7 It is bright, reflects strong light but is not dazzling, has a shimmering effect, and has a soft luster. For example: pearly luster Level 8 It has a high gloss, strong and uniform light reflection, and a bright and dazzling luster, yet it is also quite soft. For example: the gloss observed on a smooth, polished metallic surface. Level 9 It is shiny, reflects light evenly and softly, has a large amount of reflection, and appears bright. For example: the shimmering luster of diamond
