[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] Combination Figure 1 This embodiment will be described in detail below. The stain-resistant and water-repellent sofa fabric involved in this embodiment includes a composite suede fabric layer 1, a four-axis warp-knitted fabric layer 2, and a foamed fabric layer 3. The composite is achieved using a PUR hot melt adhesive web.

[0020] The suede fabric layer 1 includes a face comb, a middle comb, and a bottom comb. The yarn used for the face comb is ultra-fine polyester multifilament. One side of the face comb of the suede fabric layer 1 has a pile layer 4 formed by napping. The fineness of the ultra-fine polyester multifilament is 72D / 144F-288F, and 72D / 144F is selected in this embodiment. The pile formed by ultra-fine fibers is fine and has a soft feel. One side of the pile layer 4 of the suede fabric layer 1 is coated with a water-based polyurethane coating 5, and the pile in the pile layer 4 extends into the water-based polyurethane coating 5; the pile extends into the interior of the flame-retardant polyurethane coating 5, thereby making the water-based polyurethane coating 5 difficult to peel off.

[0021] Furthermore, the padding yarn number of the face comb is 1-0 / 0-1 / 1-0 / 1-3 / 3-1 / 1-3 / / , and the yarn threading pattern is full threading; the padding yarn number of the middle comb is 0-0 / 1-1 / 0-0 / 3-3 / 2-2 / 3-3 / / , and the yarn threading pattern is full threading; the padding yarn number of the bottom comb is 2-3 / 1-0 / 2-3 / 1-0 / 2-3 / 1-0 / / , and the yarn threading pattern is full threading.

[0022] Furthermore, the nylon monofilament used in the middle comb and the polyester DTY filament used in the bottom comb have a diameter of 0.1-0.15 mm. In this embodiment, the polyester DTY filament has a fineness of 50D / 36F. The prepared suede fabric layer 1 has a weight of 220 grams per square meter.

[0023] The surface of the waterborne polyurethane coating 5 is coated with a three-proof finishing agent. The three-proof finishing agent is sprayed before the waterborne polyurethane coating 5 is completely dry. After drying, the waterborne polyurethane coating cures, and the three-proof finishing agent forms a three-proof finishing layer with a stronger bond to the waterborne polyurethane coating, thus giving the fabric excellent three-proof properties, enabling it to be waterproof, oil-proof, and stain-proof. In this embodiment, the three-proof finishing agent is first dissolved in water at a mass fraction of 20%. It is then sprayed onto the waterborne polyurethane coating 5 at a rate of 10 grams per square meter. Huntsman's PHOBOL three-proof finishing agent can be selected. A waterproof test was conducted using GB / T 4745-2012 as the test standard, and the test result was level 4. Using GB / T 19977 as the test standard, the oil-proof rating test result was level 6.

[0024] Furthermore, the four-axis warp-knitted fabric layer 2 includes a 0° weft layer 21, a 0° warp layer 22, a +45° weft layer 23, and a -45° weft layer 24, which are fixed by binding yarns and arranged sequentially. The binding yarn is high-strength polyester filament; the yarns used in the 0° weft layer 21, 0° warp layer 22, +45° weft layer 23, and -45° weft layer 24 include polyester DTY filament with a fineness of 50D / 24F. The 0° weft layer 21 is adjacent to the suede fabric layer 1.

[0025] Polyester DTY filaments are warped and then woven into a four-axis warp-knitted fabric on a warp knitting machine. First, a 0° weft layer 21 is laid on the worktable of the warp knitting machine at a 90° angle to the worktable. Then, a 0° warp layer 22 is laid on top of the 0° weft layer 21, perpendicular to the yarn direction of the 0° weft layer 21. Next, a +45° weft layer 23 and a -45° weft layer 24 are laid in sequence. High-strength polyester fiber filaments are used as binding yarns, and the four yarn layers are warp-knitted together on the warp knitting machine using a chain weave structure to obtain the grey fabric.

[0026] Furthermore, the foamed fabric layer 3 comprises a TPU foamed layer and a spunlace nonwoven fabric layer laminated together with a hot melt adhesive web. The surface of the spunlace nonwoven fabric layer is coated with an antibacterial and anti-mite agent. The spunlace nonwoven fabric layer used is a flame-retardant polyester spunlace nonwoven fabric.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] The difference between the stain-resistant and water-repellent sofa fabric described in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is that: in the 0° warp layer 22 and the +45° weft layer 23, there is one polyester DTY filament and a core-sheath structure polyester filament. The core-sheath structure polyester filament has a sheath layer and a core layer. The sheath layer is a low-melting-point polyester with a melting point of 80-110℃. The core layer is a conventional polyester with a melting point of 250-255℃.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
