Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitted fabric technology, and in particular to a pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric that combines quick-drying and warmth retention. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing health awareness of consumers, the sports industry is booming. Sportswear, as a link between functional needs and fashion trends, is constantly breaking conventions. Consumers' demands for sportswear are extending towards specialization and specific scenarios, and these differentiated demands require the market to segment sports categories; at the same time, comfort, breathability, and protection must also be taken into account.

[0003] Currently, conventional polyester fiber sportswear remains the mainstream choice due to its advantages such as durability, wrinkle resistance, quick drying after washing, and affordability. However, fabrics made from conventional polyester fibers have poor moisture absorption and breathability, making them stuffy and sweaty in summer. This is especially true during high-intensity activities like running and cycling, where excessive sweating prevents the clothing from absorbing it quickly, leading to a rapid decrease in comfort. The evaporation of large amounts of sweat also depletes body heat, potentially causing hypothermia after prolonged outdoor exposure. Ordinary wool fibers are prone to shrinkage, especially after washing, and are not resistant to light and heat; prolonged sun exposure can cause fiber breakage. However, their naturally crimped structure effectively blocks cold air and helps maintain body temperature. Their moisture-wicking properties can absorb up to one-third of their own weight in water, keeping the body dry. Blending these two fibers offers complementary performance characteristics, meeting consumers' needs for comfort and breathability. Pineapple-patterned fabrics differ from regular plain weave fabrics in appearance, with a unique style and textured surface that aims to meet consumers' demands for fashion trends. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by designing a pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric that combines quick-drying and warmth-retaining functions, thus addressing the issues of moisture absorption and quick-drying, skin-friendly warmth, and wearing comfort in polyester sportswear.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric with both quick-drying and warmth-retaining functions, comprising: a moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber blended with wool yarn and a high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn. Both the front and back sides of the fabric are woven from the moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber blended with wool yarn and a high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn. The fabric is knitted by a cylinder knitting machine, which uses three types of needles, with four sections forming one cycle; 12 rows form one complete structure, and the 12 rows are arranged in a looping and tucked knitting sequence. Of the 12 channels: The first, second, third, and fourth routes are respectively: circular organization, clustered organization, circular organization, and circular organization; Routes 5 and 6 are arranged in a circular pattern, with each subsequent route forming a circular pattern. Routes 7, 8, 9, and 10 are arranged in a circle, a circle, a circle, and a cluster. Routes 11 and 12 are arranged in a circular pattern; The 12 loops form the raised portion of the fabric's front side, while the gathered portion forms the recessed portion, thus creating a textured, pineapple-like pattern on the fabric's front side.

[0006] The first, second, third, fourth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth threads are threaded with a blend of moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool yarn, while the fifth, sixth, eleventh, and twelfth threads are threaded with a blend of moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool yarn and high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn.

[0007] The yarn is a blend of moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester fiber features an irregular cross-section design, with a flat cross-shaped cross-section forming four moisture-wicking grooves. This increases the specific surface area of ​​the polyester, and the capillary effect generated by the grooves gives the fiber excellent sweat absorption. Sweat is then quickly wicked away from the skin and evaporates, resulting in both moisture absorption and quick drying. The wool fiber is made from high-quality Merino fine wool that has undergone special processing, making it washable, shrink-resistant, and soft against the skin. Wool fibers contain a large number of hydrophilic groups such as amino and carboxyl groups, with a standard moisture regain of 15%. Its moisture absorption is superior to cotton and silk, allowing it to quickly absorb moisture from the skin surface and keep it dry. The high proportion of the medulla layer in wool fibers (30%-50%) forms many tiny pores filled with air. Air, as a poor conductor of heat, has low thermal energy transfer efficiency, effectively blocking heat transfer; thus, it provides excellent warmth while remaining breathable.

[0008] The high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn is a polyester-type spandex, which has better elasticity and extensibility than ordinary high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn. It can be stretched to 4-7 times its original length, with a recovery rate of up to 100%, and can quickly rebound to its original shape. It is durable and anti-aging, and can withstand more than 1 million fatigue tests. After being placed for 3 months, its whiteness has not changed significantly. It is highly adaptable and can be mixed with any fiber. Its unique molecular structure makes the garments made from it natural and comfortable when stretched, reducing the feeling of tightness.

[0009] The specifications of the moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber blended with wool yarn are 27.8 tex (21S) to 11.7 tex (50S); the specifications of the high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn are 2.22 tex (20D) to 4.44 tex (40D). Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 The knitting pattern of a pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric that combines quick-drying and warmth retention is proposed for this utility model. Figure 2 The triangular diagram is for a pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric that combines quick-drying and warmth retention, as proposed in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0011] A pineapple-style jacquard knit fabric that combines quick-drying and warmth. Both sides are woven from a blend of moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool yarn, and high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn. A detailed description will follow.

[0012] The pineapple-style fabric, combining quick-drying and warmth, is woven from a blend of moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool yarn, along with high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn, on both the front and back. The preferred yarn specification for the moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester staple fiber and wool blend is 27.8 tex (21S) - 11.7 tex (50S). For the fiber ratio, it is recommended that the moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester fiber content in the yarn should not be less than 50%, and the wool fiber content should ideally be above 15% (because it needs to be worn close to the skin, high-quality fine wool should be selected to effectively reduce itching). Yarns meeting this fiber ratio effectively complement each other, balancing the two functions of warmth and moisture-wicking. This also effectively controls yarn costs, pursuing higher cost-effectiveness.

[0013] The preferred specifications for the high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn are 2.22tex (20D) to 4.44tex (40D). Because it uses polyester-type spandex, its chemical structure differs from ordinary spandex; it is superior to ordinary spandex in terms of elongation, elastic recovery, and durability. Furthermore, when made into garments, it fits snugly against the body without feeling constricting. For sportswear that requires frequent washing, this significantly enhances the garment's durability and comfort.

[0014] I. Knitting Process: 1. The knitting equipment is a Quanzhou Huijia JD21DM90F single-sided weft circular knitting machine with a cylinder diameter of 762mm (30 inches), a gauge of 28 needles / 25.4mm, 90 rows, and a total of 2640 stitches. It is recommended to use high-quality needles to avoid defects such as needle marks, stitch lines, and horizontal lines. Keep the machine clean to reduce fly yarn and oily needles. The yarn tension should be adjusted to the optimal level. 2. The cylinder section uses three tracks, or three segments. The needles are arranged in ABAC order, and the three segments form a cycle. Each segment is further divided into 12 tracks to form a cycle, completing a minimum pattern. 3. Triangular arrangement, such as Figure 2 As shown: from Figure 2It can be seen that 12 lines form a cycle. The order of lines 1-12 is as follows: lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 are knitted, tucked, knitted, and knitted in sequence; lines 5 and 6 are knitted, knitted, knitted, and knitted in sequence; lines 7, 8, 9, and 10 are knitted, knitted, knitted, and tucked in sequence; and lines 11 and 12 are knitted, knitted, knitted, and knitted in sequence. In the 12 lines, the knitted part is woven into the raised part of the front of the pineapple-style fabric, which has both quick-drying and warmth-retaining functions, while the tucked part is woven into the concave part of the front of the pineapple-style fabric, which also has both quick-drying and warmth-retaining functions, thus forming a textured pineapple-style pattern on the front of the fabric.

[0015] 1. Fabric weaving pattern (see below) Figure 1 : 2. Yarn threading method: Threads 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are threaded with moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber blended with wool yarn, and threads 5, 6, 11, and 12 are threaded with moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester staple fiber blended with wool yarn and high-temperature resistant spandex elastic yarn.

[0016] In summary, the pineapple-style jacquard knitted fabric developed by this invention combines quick-drying and warmth-retaining functions. It utilizes a blend of moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester staple fiber with a special cross-section, high-quality fine wool yarn, and polyester-type spandex high-elasticity yarn. Through a unique pineapple pattern weave, the fabric is comfortable, highly elastic, skin-friendly, and durable. During strenuous outdoor exercise or when sweating profusely, it effectively absorbs body moisture and quickly wicks away sweat, achieving both moisture-wicking and warmth. The fabric's fashionable and simple pineapple pattern makes it suitable for various casual sportswear.

[0017] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
