[0037] Example 1
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric, which is formed by four-way expansion weaving of the smallest weaving unit 1. The smallest weaving unit 1 is provided with a grid area 10 forming a border structure, and a breathable area 11 and a weaving area 12 provided in the grid area 10. The breathable area 11 is located in the area adjacent to the grid area 10. The weaving point structure in the weaving area 12 is formed by weaving warp and weft yarns through a woven imitation knitting structure. The warp and weft yarns are composite yarns 2. The composite yarn 2 includes moisture-wicking filaments 20 and irregular cross-section polyester filaments 21 that are twisted with the moisture-wicking filaments 20 to form breathable openings. The moisture-wicking filaments 20 can be recycled polyester Rpet fiber yarn, organic cotton yarn, modal fiber yarn, or yacell fiber yarn, etc.
[0039] Specifically, the same composite yarn 2 is used for weaving, and a woven imitation knitted structure is used to form the fabric. That is, the appearance and texture of the knitted fabric are imitated by the weaving process, which can have good breathability. By combining the stability of the woven fabric and the comfort of the knitted fabric, the comfort of wearing is improved.
[0040] Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing filament 20 and the irregularly shaped cross-section polyester filament 21 are twisted together. The moisture-absorbing properties of the filament 20 give the fabric its moisture-absorbing function. The irregular cross-section structure of the polyester filament 21 creates breathable channels or openings, improving the fabric's breathability. Combined with the design of the breathable zone 11, this further enhances breathability. Thus, the fabric woven from this composite yarn 2 possesses excellent moisture absorption and breathability, ensuring that after sweating, the flowing air can carry away moisture, achieving quick drying and keeping the garment dry.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cross-section of the irregularly shaped polyester filament 21 in this embodiment is cross-shaped, triangular, trefoil, quadrilateral, pentafoil, rhomboid, or pentagonal, etc., and can also be a non-circular structure. Preferably, it is a cross-shaped irregular structure. This allows for the formation of breathable gaps after twisting, which, when woven into a fabric, gives the fabric good breathability.
[0042] In this embodiment, the warp and weft yarns are composite yarns 2 of the same size. This same-size design, after weaving, forms a plain weave structure, resulting in a lighter and thinner fabric. The composite yarn 2 has a relatively uniform structure during weaving, maintaining the structural stability of the breathable zone 11 and the inherent breathability of the composite yarn 2, thus improving breathability.
[0043] In this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing filament 20 is designed as a fully drawn filament, meaning that a stretching effect is introduced during the spinning process, thereby obtaining a wound filament with high orientation and moderate crystallinity. Yarns or fabrics made from fully drawn filaments have a smooth and soft feel, improving wearing comfort.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the smallest weaving unit 1 is a weaving area 12 of seven weft yarns and eight warp yarns, i.e., a 7*8 weaving pattern. Specifically, the first weft yarn is woven with the first and eighth warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; the second weft yarn is woven with the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; the third weft yarn is woven with the third and sixth warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; the fourth weft yarn is woven with the fourth and fifth warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; the fifth weft yarn is woven with the third and sixth warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; the sixth weft yarn is woven with the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh warp yarns to form a weaving point structure; and the seventh weft yarn is woven with the first and eighth warp yarns to form a weaving point structure.
[0045] Thus, the first and seventh weft yarns, together with the first and eighth warp yarns, form the checkered area 10, which is the border of the smallest weaving unit 1. Meanwhile, the plain weave area 12 ensures the stability of the fabric structure.
[0046] The breathable zone 11 has two areas: one is the area where the 2nd warp yarn intersects with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th weft yarn floats, and the other is the area where the 3rd warp yarn intersects with the 4th weft yarn float, forming a triangular breathable section. The other is the area where the 7th warp yarn intersects with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th weft yarn floats, and the other is the area where the 6th warp yarn intersects with the 4th weft yarn float, also forming a triangular breathable section. Furthermore, the two breathable zones 11 are designed close to the edge, so that when infinitely expanded in all directions, the breathable zones 11 can achieve a good laying effect, ensuring breathability.
[0047] In this way, the moisture-wicking and breathable fabric can form a checkered texture structure, which not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also improves the aesthetics of the appearance.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] This embodiment provides a garment, including a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric as described in Embodiment 1. This fabric can be used to make tops, pants, or outerwear, and can also be used for underwear. Thus, the garment possesses excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties, thereby improving the comfort of wearing the garment.
[0050] Specifically, for hats, for example, you can sew moisture-wicking and breathable fabric onto the top of the hat. This can improve the hat's moisture absorption and breathability, reduce the stuffiness of wearing a hat, and improve the comfort of wearing it.
[0051] Alternatively, for pants, a design could be used where moisture-wicking and breathable fabric is sewn into areas prone to heat, such as the inner thighs, buttocks, or groin, to improve the pants' moisture-wicking and breathability, thus enhancing wearing comfort.
[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
