[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Example refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A moisture-wicking and breathable knitted fabric is produced using a double-sided circular knitting machine with a 34-inch 28-gauge gauge. The fabric employs a knitting structure with two needle tracks on the upper needle plate and three needle tracks on the lower needle cylinder. This unique structure allows for high-density knitting and complex pattern control while balancing the functions of the inner and outer layers, preventing delamination or deformation. The fabric comprises nine continuously looped yarns: a first yarn 1, elastic polyester filament 2, and antibacterial composite yarn 3. The first yarn 1 includes cotton blending and moisture-wicking, quick-drying polyester filament. The inner layers of the fabric, consisting of layers 3, 6, and 9, are made of cotton and moisture-wicking polyester filament, respectively. The synergistic effect of the moisture-wicking polyester filament and cotton ensures quick-drying and moisture absorption. The outer layers, consisting of layers 2, 5, and 8, are made of antibacterial composite yarn 3, which imparts natural antibacterial and breathable properties to the fabric. The outer layers, consisting of layers 1, 4, and 7, are connected to the inner layers using elastic polyester filament 2. The elastic polyester filament 2 is a 50D / 36F T800 polyester filament. The elastic polyester filament 2 anchors the outer and inner layers through an interlaced loop structure, maintaining the integrity of the fabric and giving it high resilience for comfortable wear.
[0020] The cotton and moisture-wicking polyester filaments are woven in side by side; the cotton is 40s cotton, and the polyester filaments are 75D / 72F cross-section polyester filaments. This structure, with its cross-shaped cross-section, increases the specific surface area and accelerates moisture diffusion through capillary effect. Together with the cotton, they form a synergistic effect to quickly wick away moisture.
[0021] The antibacterial composite yarn 3 includes an inner yarn and an outer yarn positioned outside the inner yarn. The inner yarn is made of twisted peppermint fiber, and the outer yarn is made of twisted bamboo fiber. Peppermint fiber is a new type of plant-based antibacterial fiber that not only has natural antibacterial and deodorizing effects, but the natural peppermint component also gives it a natural cooling sensation, providing a comfortable wearing experience and further enhancing the antibacterial properties of the woven fabric. Bamboo fiber has a porous structure that enhances breathability.
[0022] Cool Silk Cotton has a nano-silver coating on its surface, and the nano-silver coating 3 uses nano-silver paint. This means that Cool Silk Cotton is soft to the touch, and its nano-silver coating enhances its antibacterial properties, inhibits bacterial growth, and reduces odor.
[0023] The complete cycle of the 9 yarn paths is as follows: Path 1: Knitting in a loop on the upper needle plate with 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float, 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float, 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float, and so on; knitting in the lower needle cylinder with 1 stitch in a round, 2 stitches with a float, 1 stitch in a round, 2 stitches with a float. Path 2: Knitting in a loop on all 6 needles on the upper needle plate with 1 stitch with a float, 2 stitches in a round, 1 stitch with a float, 2 stitches in a round on the lower needle cylinder. Paths 3, 6, and 9: Knitting in a loop on all 6 needles on the upper needle plate with 6 stitches with a float on the lower needle cylinder. Path 4: Knitting in a loop on the upper needle plate with 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float, 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float, 1 stitch in a round, 1 stitch with a float. Knitting pattern 1: Knit in the lower cylinder with 1 stitch float, 1 stitch loop, 2 stitch float, 1 stitch loop, 1 stitch float; Pattern 5: Knit all 6 stitches on the upper cylinder with 1 stitch loop, 1 stitch float, 2 stitch loops, 1 stitch float, and 1 stitch loop in the lower cylinder; Pattern 7: Knit in the upper cylinder with 1 stitch loop, 1 stitch float, 1 stitch loop, 1 stitch float, 1 stitch loop, 1 stitch float, and 1 stitch float in the upper cylinder, and knit in the lower cylinder with 2 stitch floats, 1 stitch loop, 2 stitch floats, and 1 stitch loop in the lower cylinder; Pattern 8: Knit all 6 stitches on the upper cylinder with 2 stitch loops, 1 stitch float, 2 stitch loops, and 1 stitch float in the lower cylinder. Using this structure, in rows 3, 6, and 9, the upper needle plate forms a dense inner layer by fully looping, ensuring that moisture is quickly drained from the skin side and diffused to the surface for evaporation, while the lower needle cylinder is fully floated to prevent the inner layer from being exposed; in rows 2, 5, and 8, the cyclic knitting of 2 loops and 1 float on the lower needle cylinder can form a breathable mesh on the surface, enhancing air circulation; in rows 1, 4, and 7, the upper and lower needle plates alternately form loops, which can achieve three-dimensional weaving of the elastic layer.
[0024] The operating principle of this utility model is described as follows: The fabric, through a three-dimensional knitting structure consisting of two needle tracks on the upper needle plate and three needle tracks on the lower needle cylinder, and a cyclic design of 9 functional yarns, namely the synergistic moisture-wicking effect of cross-shaped polyester filaments and cool cotton, can achieve moisture absorption and quick drying; and the nano silver coating on the cool cotton and the action of mint fiber can play a dual antibacterial role; the surface mesh and the dense partitioned structure of the inner layer form a breathable and comfortable zone, enhance air circulation, and have excellent breathability.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
