Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics, as an important branch of functional textiles, are widely used in sportswear, outdoor equipment, and underwear.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210886433U discloses a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric. This fabric has a jacquard weave structure composed of several minimum pattern repeats. Each minimum pattern repeat includes six horizontal rows, and each horizontal row has three knitting positions. Each horizontal row is threaded with a first blended yarn, which is a blend of a second blended yarn and spandex with a fiber fineness of 20D. The second blended yarn is a blend of polyester and shrink-resistant wool. This new fabric utilizes the high moisture absorption of natural animal fiber wool, the quick-drying properties of polyester fiber, and the elasticity of spandex. Combined with the minimum pattern repeat design, this jacquard weave structure results in high moisture absorption and quick-drying properties. It allows sweat produced by the body after exercise to be quickly absorbed and evaporated, maintaining a dry and comfortable feel. It is also resistant to deformation and is comfortable and skin-friendly. However, this fabric does not have a diamond-patterned texture.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN223030552U discloses an easy-to-clean, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying fabric, comprising a fabric body, a sweat-wicking inner layer at the top, a modal fiber layer connected to the top outer wall of the sweat-wicking inner layer via a sweat-wicking component, a breathable inner layer at the bottom, a spandex fiber layer connected to the top outer wall of the breathable inner layer via a breathable component, and an abrasion-resistant outer layer at the bottom, with a hollow fiber layer connected to the top outer wall of the abrasion-resistant outer layer via an abrasion-resistant component. This fabric can quickly absorb and release moisture, keeping the wearer dry and ventilated, providing a comfortable wearing experience, especially suitable for summer wear. It also enhances abrasion resistance, making the fabric more durable, less prone to wear and deformation, and suitable for prolonged use and frequent washing. However, this fabric does not have one-way moisture-wicking properties. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned problems, this utility model provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, which solves the problem that traditional sports fabrics do not have a diamond-shaped textured structure, making it difficult to balance moisture-wicking, quick-drying, lightweight and comfortable properties, and easily causing stickiness and stuffiness.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric includes a fabric body having a continuous diamond-shaped texture. The minimum weave repeat of the fabric body is 18 warp rows × 8 weft rows. The weave points within the minimum weave repeat include standard loop weave points and high-position tuck weave points. The standard loop weave points include a first loop and a second loop, and the high-position tuck weave points are third loops. The height ratio of the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop is 3:2:4. The fabric body includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is composed of the first loop and the second loop, and the outer layer is composed of the third loop.

[0008] The standard loop structure is as follows: during the knitting process, the knitting needle completes a complete loop-forming action, including unwinding, padding, carrying, bending, unwinding, and forming a loop, so that the yarn forms a closed loop, and the new loop passes through the old loop and interlocks with it.

[0009] The high-position knitting structure is characterized by the knitting needles rising to a height higher than the normal knitting height during knitting, in order to create a longer overhang and a more pronounced concave-convex effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the fabric body adopts an 8-way weaving cycle, wherein the first yarn is woven in the first, third, sixth and eighth ways, and the second yarn is woven in the second, fourth, fifth and seventh ways. The first yarn is a blend of ordinary polyester and cotton fiber, and the second yarn is ultrafine polyester. The ordinary polyester has a specification of 14.8 tex, the ultrafine polyester has a specification of 11.8 tex, and the cotton fiber has a specification of 32 count.

[0011] Furthermore, when weaving the raised parts of the diamond-shaped texture, a standard loop-forming method is used; when weaving the concave outline of the diamond-shaped texture, a high-position loop-forming method is used.

[0012] Furthermore, the high-position tufted stitches are woven using a non-loosening method, where the new yarn forms a suspended arc within the needle hook and comes off the loop together with the old loop.

[0013] Furthermore, the transverse density of the fabric body is 65 loops / 50mm, and the longitudinal density is 80 loops / 50mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the weight of the fabric body is ≤150g / m². 2 .

[0015] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The fabric, with its diamond-shaped texture and varying coil structure, creates more airflow channels between the skin and the fabric, helping sweat to be quickly absorbed from the skin surface and diffused to the outer layer of the fabric.

[0017] 2. The inner layer of cotton fibers provides good moisture absorption, while the outer layer of ultra-fine polyester yarn has a capillary effect. The inner layer is skin-friendly and moisture-absorbing, while the outer layer has a fluffy structure, which creates a pressure difference that pushes moisture to diffuse to the outer layer. This provides good one-way moisture wicking performance and avoids a sticky feeling.

[0018] 3. The fabric has a low weight, making it lightweight and comfortable to wear; it is made primarily of polyester, so it is not prone to wrinkling. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The labels in the diagram are as follows: Fabric body 1, inner layer 11, outer layer 12. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0023] A moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric includes a fabric body 1, which has a continuous diamond-shaped texture. The minimum weave repeat of the fabric body is 18 warp rows × 8 weft rows. The weave points within the minimum weave repeat include standard loop weave points and high-position tuck weave points. The standard loop weave points include a first loop and a second loop, and the high-position tuck weave points are third loops. The height ratio of the first loop, the second loop, and the third loop is 3:2:4. The fabric body 1 includes an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12. The inner layer 11 is composed of the first loop and the second loop, and the outer layer 12 is composed of the third loop.

[0024] The fabric body employs an 8-way knitting cycle, with the first yarn threaded in the first, third, sixth, and eighth routes, and the second yarn threaded in the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh routes. The first yarn is a blend of ordinary polyester and cotton fibers, while the second yarn is ultrafine polyester. The ordinary polyester has a specification of 14.8 tex, the ultrafine polyester has a specification of 11.8 tex, and the cotton fiber has a specification of 32 count. When knitting the raised portions of the diamond-shaped texture, a standard loop-forming method is used; when knitting the recessed contours of the diamond-shaped texture, a high-position tufting method is used. The high-position tufting points are knitted using a non-loosening method, where new yarn forms a suspended arc within the needle hook and unloops together with the old loops. The transverse density of the fabric body is 65 loops / 50mm, and the longitudinal density is 80 loops / 50mm. The weight of the fabric body is 150g / m². 2 .

[0025] The method for preparing the moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric described above includes the following steps:

[0026] S1. Raw material preparation

[0027] The first yarn is made by blending 14.8tex ordinary polyester staple fiber with 32 count cotton fiber, with a blending ratio of 70% polyester and 30% cotton.

[0028] The second yarn uses 11.8tex ultrafine denier polyester filament with a single filament fineness of less than 0.5D. The second yarn has excellent capillary effect and is mainly used for rapid conduction and diffusion of moisture.

[0029] S2, Weaving Technique

[0030] The fabric is knitted on a 28-gauge double-sided circular knitting machine with a minimum weft repeat of 18 warp rows × 8 weft rows. An 8-row per repeat yarn feeding method is used: rows 1, 3, 6, and 8 feed the first yarn, and rows 2, 4, 5, and 7 feed the second yarn. The first yarn feed rate is 1.2g / 100m, and the second yarn feed rate is 0.9g / 100m. Rows 1, 3, 6, and 8 are normally unrolled, forming a tight inner layer structure. Rows 2, 4, 5, and 7 use a non-unrolling process, where the new yarn forms a suspended arc within the needle hook and unrolls together with the old loops, increasing the outer layer's bulkiness.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 In the structural design diagram of the minimum tissue cycle, ■ represents high-level clustered tissue points, and □ represents standard clustered tissue points;

[0032] S3, Post-finishing process

[0033] The woven fabric undergoes scouring, dyeing, and finishing to achieve a weight of 150 g / m². 2 The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric described above;

[0034] The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric has a soft and skin-friendly inner layer and a clear diamond-shaped texture on the outer layer, giving it a unique style. The polyester-cotton blended yarn provides a certain degree of moisture absorption in the inner layer, while the ultra-fine polyester and structural design enable rapid migration and evaporation of moisture, thus achieving the overall moisture-wicking and quick-drying function.

[0035] Among them, scouring involves using a scouring agent to remove oil and impurities from the yarn;

[0036] The dyeing process employs a high-temperature, high-pressure overflow dyeing machine, using disperse dyes at 130°C.

[0037] The setting process is carried out on a tenter frame, with the setting temperature controlled at 170℃ and the time being 60 seconds.

[0038] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
