A moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of fabric production technology, and in particular to a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric. The fabric is made by weft-knitting polyester and polypropylene yarns on a circular loom. It includes a fabric body, which is weft-knitted on a circular loom. The minimum pattern cycle of the fabric body consists of 8 horizontal loops and 2 vertical loops, with each cycle consisting of 8 loops. The 8 loops are spaced between polyester and polypropylene yarns. Utilizing the wicking effect of polypropylene and employing a floating yarn structure unit, moisture can be wicked away through the fiber gaps. Simultaneously, taking advantage of the quick-drying properties of polyester, a large number of loop-forming structural units are used to achieve the moisture-wicking and quick-drying effect, thereby enabling the fabric to quickly dry sweat from the body surface.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric production technology, and in particular to a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor activities generally involve a lot of physical activity, and clothes become very uncomfortable when soaked with sweat and stick to the body. To get rid of the discomfort caused by excessive sweat accumulating on the skin, some people choose to wear "comfortable and breathable" pure cotton clothing.

[0003] However, pure cotton clothing can only absorb sweat and is not breathable. It also cannot dry quickly, making it unsuitable for wearing during exercise. High-performance quick-drying clothing can wick sweat to the surface of the garment, allowing it to evaporate quickly and restoring comfort to the body. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, this utility model provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, which solves the problems of rapid moisture wicking and quick-drying of clothing fabrics and improves the comfort of sportswear. According to tests conducted by Guangzhou Inspection and Testing Certification Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Inspection Group"), its indicators can reach the GB / T21655.1-2023 moisture-wicking and quick-drying grade II.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric includes a fabric body, which is weft-knitted on a circular knitting machine. The minimum pattern repeat of the fabric body consists of 8 rows of loops and 2 rows of loops, with each repeat consisting of 8 rows. The weaving method of the minimum pattern repeat is as follows:

[0007] The 6th and 8th paths of the first coil are floating wire structure units, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th paths are coiled structure units;

[0008] The second and fourth paths of the second coil are floating wire structure units, while the first, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth paths are coiled structure units.

[0009] Preferably, the first, third, fifth, and seventh threads of the fabric body are made of polyester yarn, and the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth threads are made of polypropylene yarn.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0011] By weaving polyester and polypropylene yarns into a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric using a circular knitting machine, the fabric utilizes the wicking effect of polypropylene and employs floating yarn structural units to wick away moisture through the fiber gaps. At the same time, taking advantage of the quick-drying properties of polyester, a large number of loop structural units are used to achieve the effect of moisture wicking and quick drying, thereby enabling the sweat on the body surface to be wicked away through this fabric and dried quickly.

[0014] 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.

[0015] A moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric includes a fabric body, which is weft-knitted by a circular knitting machine. The minimum pattern cycle of the fabric body consists of 8 rows of loops and 2 columns of loops, with each 8 rows forming a cycle. The weaving method of the minimum pattern cycle is as follows: the 6th and 8th columns of the 1st column of loops are floating yarn structure units, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th columns are loop-forming structure units; the 2nd and 4th columns of the 2nd column of loops are floating yarn structure units, and the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th columns are loop-forming structure units.

[0016] The weaving method of the fabric provided by this utility model is shown in Table 1. In the table, “―” represents a float and “∧” represents a loop.

[0019] refer to Figure 1 The first, third, fifth, and seventh threads of the fabric body are made of polyester yarn, while the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth threads are made of polypropylene yarn.

[0020] Using the above technical solution, polyester and polypropylene yarns are weft-knitted into a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric using a circular knitting machine. Utilizing the wicking effect of polypropylene and employing floating yarn structural units, moisture can be wicked away through the fiber gaps to achieve moisture absorption and perspiration. At the same time, taking advantage of the quick-drying properties of polyester, a large number of loop structural units are used to achieve the effect of moisture absorption and quick drying, thereby realizing the effect of wicking sweat from the body surface to the surface and drying it quickly.
