Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting technology, specifically to a knitted fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Plain knit fabrics have good lateral stretch and breathability, and are often used in the production of close-fitting garments such as underwear, T-shirts, and sweatshirts. However, their structure is too simple and lacks design, making them too casual and homey when used alone to make clothing, thus lacking in aesthetic appeal.
[0003] In addition, plain weft knit fabrics exhibit significant edge curling, with the edges curling towards the reverse side of the fabric along the transverse direction and towards the front side along the longitudinal direction. This makes it difficult to maintain a smooth surface, which is detrimental to garment processing such as cutting and sewing. Furthermore, since plain weft knit is formed by continuous unit loops interlocked in one direction, when the yarn breaks or the loops lose their interlocking connection, the plain weft knit fabric will quickly unravel along the longitudinal direction, directly affecting the lifespan of the garment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a knitted fabric with a textured surface that is not easy to curl or unravel.
[0005] To solve this technical problem, the present invention provides a knitted fabric comprising alternating roving knitting areas and fine yarn knitting areas along a first direction. The roving knitting areas are woven with a first yarn, and the fine yarn knitting areas are woven with a second yarn, wherein the first yarn is thicker than the second yarn. The roving knitting areas include alternating first loop knitting units and first tuck knitting units along a second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Adjacent roving knitting areas are staggered along the second direction, such that the first loop knitting unit of one roving knitting area is directly opposite the first tuck knitting unit of the other roving knitting area along the first direction.
[0006] Furthermore, the yarn weaving area includes a second loop weaving unit and a mixed weaving unit arranged alternately along the second direction. The mixed weaving unit includes a loop-forming loop and a loop-forming loop. The second loop weaving unit is directly opposite the first loop weaving unit or the first loop-forming loop weaving unit of the adjacent roving weaving area.
[0007] Furthermore, the first looping braiding unit includes 3 columns of 4-way looping coils, the first tucked-in braiding unit includes 1 column of 4-way tucked-in coils; the second looping braiding unit includes 1 column of 2-way looping coils, and the hybrid braiding unit includes 3 columns of 2-way coils.
[0008] Furthermore, the knitted fabric is formed by a cycle of 4 columns and 12 lines. The first and second lines and the seventh and eighth lines are fine yarn knitting areas, while the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lines and the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth lines are roving knitting areas. The fourth column of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lines is a tucked loop, the second column of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth lines is a tucked loop, the first and seventh lines are looped loops, the first and third columns of the second and eighth lines are tucked loops, and the second and fourth columns of the second and eighth lines are looped loops.
[0009] Furthermore, the first yarn includes cotton yarn, and the second yarn includes polyester filament and spandex filament.
[0010] Furthermore, the cotton yarn is 80S / 2 combed cotton yarn, the polyester filament is 50D cool-feeling polyester filament, and the spandex filament is 30D spandex elastic filament.
[0011] Furthermore, the composition of this knitted fabric is 80.0–82.0% cotton, 13.0–17.0% polyester, and 4.0–5.0% spandex.
[0012] Furthermore, the knitted fabric has a composition of 81.3% cotton, 14.7% polyester and 4.0% spandex.
[0013] Furthermore, the weight of this knitted fabric is 180g ± 5g / m². 2 .
[0014] Furthermore, the cotton yarn and polyester filament have different dye concentrations after dyeing.
[0015] The first loop knitting unit of this knitted fabric is surrounded by the first tuck knitting units. The overhanging arc of the first tuck knitting unit generates a retraction force after the fabric is formed, attempting to straighten and tighten the yarns of adjacent loops, creating a textured surface. The roving knitting area uses the first yarn, while the finer knitting area uses an even finer second yarn, enhancing the textured effect. The overhanging arc of the first tuck knitting unit interweaves with adjacent loops, securing the surrounding loops. Simultaneously, the overhanging arc disperses tension, making the knitted fabric less prone to curling or unraveling. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below by way of examples.
[0022] In one embodiment, the knitted fabric provided by the present invention includes a roving knitting area and a fine yarn knitting area arranged alternately along a first direction. The roving knitting area is woven with a first yarn, and the fine yarn knitting area is woven with a second yarn. The first yarn is thicker than the second yarn.
[0023] The roving knitting area includes alternating first loop knitting units and first tuck knitting units arranged along a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. Adjacent roving knitting areas are staggered along the second direction, such that the first loop knitting unit of one roving knitting area is directly opposite the first tuck knitting unit of the other roving knitting area along the first direction, meaning the center line of the loop knitting unit is collinear with the center line of the tuck knitting unit. In this embodiment, the first loop knitting unit includes 3 rows of 4-way loop knitting coils, and the first tuck knitting unit includes 1 row of 4-way tuck knitting coils.
[0024] The yarn weaving area includes second loop-forming knitting units and mixed knitting units arranged alternately along a second direction. The second loop-forming knitting units are directly opposite the first loop-forming knitting units or first tuck-knitting units of adjacent roving weaving areas. A yarn weaving area has two roving weaving areas adjacent to it along a first direction. The second loop-forming knitting unit of the yarn weaving area is directly opposite the first loop-forming knitting unit of one roving weaving area and simultaneously opposite the first tuck-knitting unit of the other roving weaving area. In this embodiment, the second loop-forming knitting unit includes one row of two-way loop-forming coils, and the mixed knitting unit includes three rows of two-way coils.
[0025] As needed, those skilled in the art can change the number of coils contained in the first looping braiding unit, the first coil-gathering braiding unit, the second looping braiding unit, and the hybrid braiding unit. For example, the first looping braiding unit may include 3 columns of 5-way looping coils, and the first coil-gathering braiding unit may include 1 column of 5-way coil-gathering coils.
[0026] The hybrid braiding unit includes coiled coils and looped coils. In this embodiment, the hybrid braiding unit includes two coiled coils located on the same path, with a looped coil between the two coiled coils. Those skilled in the art can change the position and number of coiled coils in the hybrid braiding unit as needed.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first yarn comprises cotton yarn, and the second yarn comprises polyester filament and spandex filament. The cotton yarn and polyester filament are dyed at different concentrations, while the spandex filament is not dyed. The cotton yarn is 80S / 2 combed cotton yarn, the polyester filament is 50D cooling polyester filament, and the spandex filament is 30D spandex elastic filament. The composition of the knitted fabric is 81.3% cotton, 14.7% polyester, and 4.0% spandex. The weight of the knitted fabric is 180g ± 5g / m². 2 .
[0028] This knitted fabric is formed by looped and tucked loop knitting. The tucked loops contain one or more unclosed overhangs. These overhangs generate a pull force after the fabric is formed, attempting to straighten and tighten the yarn of adjacent loops (creating a textured effect) and causing adjacent loops to enlarge (creating a mesh effect). The more overhangs, the longer the yarn is twisted, the greater the displacement of adjacent loops, the larger the mesh, and the stronger the textured effect.
[0029] Due to the difference in light reflection between looped and tucked loops, a shadow effect is created on this knitted fabric, enhancing its visual three-dimensionality. The 80S / 2 combed cotton yarn is thicker than the 50D cool-feel polyester yarn, resulting in a higher height in the area where the first yarn loops are concentrated on the cross-section of the knitted fabric, further enhancing its visual three-dimensionality. The different dye concentrations of the cotton yarn and polyester yarn after dyeing enhance the clarity of the pattern boundaries, making the convex and concave edges of the pattern more distinct and emphasizing the three-dimensional effect. If needed, those skilled in the art can dye the cotton yarn and polyester yarn the exact same color, but because the structure of the knitted fabric itself can produce a convex and concave effect, the knitted fabric still has a significant visual three-dimensionality.
[0030] When spandex elastic yarn is woven with cooling polyester yarn using a layering method, the spandex elastic yarn tightens the outer cooling polyester yarn loops through its shrinkage force, providing mechanical support for the three-dimensional pattern. The loops in the tucked structure contain one or more unclosed overhangs. These overhangs intertwine with adjacent loops, securing surrounding loops and dispersing tension, further improving structural stability.
[0031] This knitted fabric combines breathability (derived from combed cotton yarn), coolness (derived from cool polyester yarn), and elasticity (derived from spandex elastic yarn). While ensuring the fabric is flat and not prone to curling or unraveling, it achieves a stylized appearance (with obvious mesh and textured effects), making it suitable for clothing used in business, casual, and sports settings.
[0032] Figure 1 The floral design diagram for this embodiment is shown below. Figure 1The knitted fabric is formed by a 4-column, 12-row loop knitting pattern. Columns 1 and 2, and 7 and 8 are fine yarn knitting areas, while columns 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, 10, 11, and 12 are roving knitting areas. The 4th column of columns 3, 4, 5, and 6 is a tucked loop, the 2nd column of columns 9, 10, 11, and 12 is a tucked loop, and columns 1 and 7 are loop-forming loops. The 1st and 3rd columns of columns 2 and 8 are tucked loops, and the 2nd and 4th columns of columns 2 and 8 are loop-forming loops. The first loop-forming knitting unit ( Figure 1 The light-colored area is surrounded by the first circular knitting unit, mixed knitting units, etc. (dark-colored area), forming a three-dimensional effect.
[0033] Figure 2 For the coil diagram of this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 The medium-dark loops are the first yarn, and the light-colored loops are the second yarn. Figure 3 and 4 The images shown are the front and back views of this embodiment. The knitted fabric has a diamond pattern when viewed from the back, while the front view, due to the tension of the yarns in the adjacent loops, makes the pattern appear more rounded. (See also...)
