Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With increased awareness of UV protection and the popularization of healthy lifestyles, sun protection has become an essential part of modern people's daily lives. Currently, the mainstream sun protection methods can be divided into two main systems: chemical sunscreens and physical sunscreens.

[0003] Chemical sunscreens, represented by sunscreen creams and sprays, use chemical ingredients to form a protective film on the skin surface for sun protection. They are highly flexible in use and can be applied to the face or other areas that are inconvenient to cover, but require frequent reapplication and carry the risk of allergic reactions to the ingredients.

[0004] Physical sun protection relies on products such as sun-protective clothing, sun hats, and parasols. It uses physical shielding principles to directly block ultraviolet rays, achieving sun protection without involving chemical reactions, making it highly safe and suitable for children, pregnant women, and people with sensitive skin. Among these, sun-protective clothing, with its long-lasting protection, large coverage area, and ease of movement, has become a popular product in recent years, widely used in outdoor sports, travel, and daily commutes.

[0005] Currently, sun-protective clothing on the market primarily achieves UV protection through two manufacturing processes: one is adding sun-protective additives to the base material, and the other is directly using sun-protective fabrics with sun-protective properties. These types of fabrics are often woven using high-density weaving techniques, resulting in a tighter structure that effectively blocks UV penetration and protects the skin from UV damage. However, the small gaps between the fibers also lead to poor breathability, causing stuffiness and discomfort when worn. Additionally, some sun-protective clothing has poor moisture-wicking properties, hindering perspiration and causing sweat to remain on the skin's surface, further contributing to a stuffy and sticky feeling. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture-wicking and quick-drying sun-protective fabric and sun-protective clothing, which have excellent sun protection and moisture-wicking properties.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A moisture-wicking, quick-drying, sun-protective fabric, wherein the fabric is woven from warp and weft yarns in a plain weave, the warp and / or the weft yarns contain non-circular cross-section fibers, the cross-section of the non-circular cross-section fibers has a closed contour formed by multiple sets of circular arcs, several depressions are formed at the edge of the cross-section of the non-circular fibers, and several grooves corresponding to the depressions are formed on the side of the non-circular fibers.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the non-circular cross-section fiber is C-shaped, figure-eight-shaped, S-shaped, or cloud-shaped. When the cross-section of the non-circular cross-section fiber is cloud-shaped, it has a closed contour formed by multiple sets of outwardly convex arc connections.

[0010] Furthermore, the warp yarn is an air-covered yarn, which includes a core yarn and an outer covering yarn covering the outside of the core yarn, and the outer covering yarn and / or the weft yarn are made of the non-circular cross-section fiber.

[0011] Furthermore, the core yarn is spandex yarn, and the non-circular cross-section fiber is nylon fiber.

[0012] Furthermore, the air-covered yarn has 140-150 air nodes per meter, the core yarn is 40D dyeable spandex yarn with a draft ratio of 2.0-4.0, and the outer yarn is 70D / 48F DTY yarn.

[0013] Furthermore, the weft yarn is made of DTY matte yarn with a specification of 30D / 34F.

[0014] A sun-protective garment made from the aforementioned moisture-wicking, quick-drying, sun-protective fabric.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The warp and / or weft yarns in this fabric contain non-circular cross-section fibers. The grooves on the non-circular cross-section fibers enable the corresponding warp and / or weft yarns to have better cohesion, thereby reducing the fabric porosity and achieving the purpose of blocking ultraviolet rays from passing through the fabric and reducing UVA transmittance. Moreover, due to the influence of the groove structure, the corresponding warp and / or weft yarns can also complicate the propagation path of ultraviolet rays, further increasing the energy loss during the propagation of ultraviolet rays, so that the woven fabric and the sun protection clothing made have excellent sun protection function.

[0017] 2. The warp and / or weft yarns in this fabric contain non-circular cross-section fibers. The grooves on the non-circular cross-section fibers can form numerous gaps and channels inside the fabric, which is conducive to air circulation to remove heat and generate a cooling sensation. It can also guide sweat to spread quickly and promote sweat evaporation, achieving the effect of moisture absorption and quick drying, and avoiding stickiness and stuffiness when wearing it.

[0018] 3. The non-circular cross-section fiber side can produce richer light reflection and scattering at different angles, giving the fabric a soft and uniform luster and a delicate and smooth feel, while further improving the fabric's moisture permeability, breathability, and quick-drying performance.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a moisture-wicking, quick-drying, sun-protective fabric, which is formed by weaving warp yarns 1 and weft yarns 2 in a plain weave. The warp yarns 1 and / or weft yarns 2 contain non-circular cross-section fibers 3. The cross-section of the non-circular cross-section fibers 3 has a closed contour formed by multiple sets of connected arcs. Several depressions 4 are formed at the edge of the cross-section of the non-circular fibers. Due to the influence of the cross-sectional contour shape, several grooves 5 corresponding to the depressions 4 are formed on the side of the non-circular fibers. The non-circular cross-section fiber 3 is nylon fiber, and the material itself has a certain sun protection function and a cooling sensation.

[0029] In terms of sun protection, the groove structure 5 on the non-circular cross-section fiber 3 enables the corresponding warp yarn 1 and / or weft yarn 2 to have better cohesion. The improved cohesion helps to reduce the porosity in the finished fabric, thereby blocking ultraviolet rays from passing through the fabric and reducing UVA transmittance. Moreover, due to the influence of the groove structure 5, the corresponding warp yarn 1 and / or weft yarn 2 can also complicate the propagation path of ultraviolet rays, increase the energy loss during ultraviolet rays propagation, further improve the sun protection performance of the fabric, and significantly reduce the intensity of ultraviolet rays that pass through the fabric.

[0030] In terms of providing a cooling sensation, the groove structure 5 on the non-circular cross-section fiber 3 can create numerous gaps and channels inside the fabric, which facilitates air circulation and removes heat, increasing the cooling sensation and alleviating stuffiness and discomfort. Moreover, the non-circular cross-section fiber 3 has a relatively large specific surface area, resulting in a relatively large contact area with the skin and a relatively large heat exchange area, which can quickly dissipate heat from the skin surface, further enhancing the cooling sensation of the fabric.

[0031] In terms of moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, the capillary effect generated by the fine grooves 5 on the non-circular cross-section fiber 3 can "draw" droplets (sweat droplets) from the skin surface, guiding the sweat to be quickly transported and diffused along the grooves 5 within the fabric. This allows the sweat to evaporate and dissipate heat over a larger area, accelerating the evaporation rate and achieving the effect of moisture wicking and quick-drying. Simultaneously, the evaporation of sweat carries away some heat and also creates a cooling sensation on the skin, improving wearing comfort.

[0032] The cross-section of the non-circular fiber 3 can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it is C-shaped, or as... Figure 3 As shown, it is in the shape of an 8, or as... Figure 4 As shown, it is S-shaped, or as... Figure 5 As shown, it is cloud-shaped. Based on its special cross-sectional profile, the non-circular cross-section fiber 3 has curved sides. Its curved structure can produce richer light reflection and scattering at different angles, giving the fabric a soft and uniform luster and a delicate and smooth feel. It can also increase the specific surface area of ​​the corresponding warp yarn 1 and / or weft yarn 2, improve the contact efficiency with air or liquid, and further improve the fabric's moisture permeability, breathability, and quick-drying properties.

[0033] To further enhance fabric performance, the aforementioned warp yarn 1 is an air-wrapped yarn, containing a certain amount of air within the yarn. This provides some protection against ultraviolet rays and promotes gas exchange between the human body and the external environment, enhancing both sun protection and fabric breathability. Furthermore, when sweating, perspiration can dissipate through the pores of the air-wrapped yarn, keeping the skin dry and preventing stuffiness and discomfort.

[0034] The air-coated yarn includes a core yarn and an outer yarn covering the outside of the core yarn. The outer yarn and / or the aforementioned weft yarn 2 can be made of non-circular cross-section fiber 3. The cross-section of this non-circular cross-section fiber 3 is preferably cloud-shaped, with a closed contour formed by multiple sets of outwardly convex arcs, and numerous grooves 5 on its sides. The resulting yarn is called cloud yarn, which performs better in terms of sun protection and moisture wicking. In other words, the outer yarn and weft yarn 2 are preferably made of cloud yarn, resulting in fabrics with superior sun protection, moisture wicking, and quick-drying properties.

[0035] The core yarn is made of spandex yarn, which has excellent tensile recovery ability, can maintain the overall structural stability of the fabric, keep the fabric tight structure and good condition, and help the outer yarn and weft yarn 2 to better play their functions of sun protection, moisture absorption and quick drying.

[0036] In this embodiment, the number of air nodes in the air-covered yarn is 140-150 per meter. The core yarn is 40D Hyosung dyeable spandex yarn from South Korea, with a draft ratio of 2.0-4.0, preferably 3.2, to ensure core yarn strength. The outer covering yarn is 70D / 48F DTY yarn. The weft yarn 2 is 30D / 34F DTY matte yarn.

[0037] The woven fabric was tested, and the specific performance test report is shown in Table 1-3 below:

[0041]

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] It is evident that this moisture-wicking and quick-drying sun-protective fabric possesses excellent sun protection performance, and also demonstrates good performance in terms of cooling sensation, moisture wicking and quick-drying, breathability, and stretch recovery, providing a high level of wearing comfort.
