Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a denim fabric with a skeleton-like structure, belonging to the textile field. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional denim fabric uses indigo-dyed pure cotton yarn as warp, interwoven with off-white weft yarn in a twill weave. Traditional denim fabric has brought about a lasting denim culture and has always been popular. However, with changes in the market environment and people's lifestyles, consumers' pursuit of clothing is no longer limited to style design; they are increasingly focusing on comfort and functionality.
[0003] Traditional twill denim fabric is relatively soft. If you want the fabric to have a stiffer effect, you need to use thicker yarns with higher twist, which makes the fabric too heavy and not comfortable enough. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a denim fabric with a skeleton-like feel, which forms a stiff skeleton-like feel through the organizational structure.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A denim fabric with a skeletal structure includes interwoven warp and weft yarns. The warp yarns include a first warp and a second warp yarn, and the weft yarns include a first weft yarn and a second weft yarn. The weft yarns are arranged in a continuous series of first cycles, each consisting of M consecutive first weft yarns and N consecutive second weft yarns, where M is at least 2 and N is at least twice M. The second warp yarns and the weft yarns are interwoven in a plain weave pattern, and the first warp yarns and the first weft yarns are interwoven in a plain weave pattern. All overlaps between the first warp yarns and the second weft yarns are warp weave points.
[0006] The denim fabric with a skeletal structure provided in this application uses a special fabric weave structure to create alternating ridges and valleys, giving the denim fabric a stiff skeletal structure, providing a certain degree of warmth and windproof effect, while also being comfortable.
[0007] Furthermore, the second warp yarn is finer than the first warp yarn.
[0008] The second warp yarn is easily hidden beneath the first warp yarn, enhancing the fabric structure. A finer second warp yarn can make the internal structure of the fabric more compact without adding too much thickness.
[0009] Furthermore, the second warp yarn is finer than the first weft yarn, and the second warp yarn is finer than the second weft yarn.
[0010] Furthermore, the first warp yarn and the second warp yarn are arranged in a 1:1 ratio.
[0011] This arrangement balances the fabric's stiffness and flexibility perfectly, allowing it to have a "skeletal" feel while adapting to the body's movements and ensuring comfort when worn.
[0012] Furthermore, the second warp yarn is an elastic yarn; the first warp yarn is cotton yarn.
[0013] Using elastic yarn as the second warp yarn gives the fabric a certain degree of elasticity. During wear, the elastic yarn can stretch and recover with the movement of the human body, making the fabric more conform to the curves of the body, improving wearing comfort and flexibility of movement.
[0014] Furthermore, N being two to five times that of M helps to form a tighter structure, improves the fabric's windproof performance, and balances the fabric's warmth, windproofness, and comfort.
[0015] Furthermore, the second weft yarn is a napped yarn.
[0016] Ruffled yarns create a layer of fluff on the fabric surface, significantly increasing its warmth retention. The fluff effectively prevents air movement, forming a relatively still air layer. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, this reduces heat loss from the body. Simultaneously, the fluff layer also enhances the fabric's softness, making it more comfortable against the skin.
[0017] Furthermore, the yarn count of the second weft yarn is 10S~21S.
[0018] Within this yarn count range, napped yarns possess both sufficient strength to prevent easy breakage during weaving and use, and the ability to create a good nap effect, which helps to optimize the appearance and feel of the fabric while ensuring its functionality.
[0019] Furthermore, the first weft yarn is a ply yarn.
[0020] Compared to single yarn, plied yarn has higher strength and stability. As the first weft yarn, plied yarn can provide stronger support to the fabric during interlacing with the warp yarn, helping to enhance the fabric's "skeleton".
[0021] Furthermore, the yarn comprises twisted combed wool yarn and graphene yarn.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The denim fabric with a skeleton-like structure of this invention uses N consecutive second weft yarns to arch the first warp yarns, forming raised stripes. The first weft yarns and warp yarns are interwoven in a plain weave, one up and one down, which tightens the fabric, making the arch more obvious and the three-dimensional effect of the raised stripes stronger. In addition, the interweaving of the first weft yarns and the first warp yarns forms troughs between the raised stripes. The alternation of raised stripes and troughs makes the denim fabric have a stiff skeleton-like structure based on its weave structure, without relying on thick, high-twist yarns, and has a more comfortable feel.
[0023] Other features and advantages of this application will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent in part from the description or may be learned by practicing the application. The objectives and other advantages of this application may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the written description and the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0029] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0030] Reference Figure 1This application provides a denim fabric with a skeleton-like structure, comprising interwoven warp and weft yarns. The warp yarns include a first warp yarn and a second warp yarn, and the weft yarns include a first weft yarn and a second weft yarn. The weft yarns are arranged in a continuous series of first cycles, each consisting of M consecutive first weft yarns and N consecutive second weft yarns. M is at least 2, and N is at least twice M. The second warp yarns and weft yarns are interwoven in a plain weave pattern, and the first warp yarns and first weft yarns are interwoven in a plain weave pattern. All overlaps between the first warp yarns and the second weft yarns are warp weave points.
[0031] in, Figure 1 According to textile industry practice, filled squares represent warp points on the front side of the process, while unfilled squares represent weft points on the front side. Meanwhile, Figure 1 The sequence number of the first warp yarn is represented by Arabic numerals, the sequence number of the second warp yarn is represented by Roman numerals, the sequence number of the first weft yarn is represented by lowercase letters, and the sequence number of the second weft yarn is represented by uppercase letters. For example, the cell in column III, row A represents the interlacing point of the second warp yarn and the second weft yarn, where the second weft yarn overlaps the second warp yarn to form the weft weave point.
[0032] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 Draw Figure 2 The pattern (both representing the same weave structure) makes it easy to see that the second warp and weft yarns interweave in a plain weave pattern (one over one under), and the first warp and first weft yarns interweave in a plain weave pattern (one over one under), with all overlaps between the first warp and second weft yarns being warp weave points. In this embodiment, M=2, N=4. The fabric is woven according to this weave structure, and the front side of the process is as shown. Figure 3 As shown, the back of the process is as follows Figure 4 As shown, thicker ridges extending in the latitudinal direction can be seen on the front of the process, and narrower troughs can be seen between adjacent ridges.
[0033] Although from Figure 3 , Figure 4 See, the fabric has horizontal stripes, while denim fabric has twill stripes. However, by cutting the fabric diagonally after it comes off the machine, the horizontal stripes can be turned into twill stripes.
[0034] In the denim fabric with a skeletal structure provided in this application embodiment, continuous first weft yarns and continuous second weft yarns alternate. When the first warp yarn encounters the second weft yarn, they always overlap to form a warp weave point, causing the continuous N second weft yarns to arch the first warp yarn, forming raised stripes. The first weft yarn and the warp yarn interweave in a plain weave, tightening the fabric and making the arch more obvious and the raised stripes more three-dimensional. Furthermore, the interweaving of the first weft yarn and the first warp yarn forms troughs between the raised stripes (the intervals between the raised stripes). The alternation of raised stripes and troughs gives the denim fabric a stiff skeletal structure based on its weave structure. It does not necessarily rely on thick, high-twist yarns, has a more comfortable feel, and does not require multiple finishing processes, which helps to reduce production costs.
[0035] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first warp yarn and the second warp yarn are arranged in a 1:1 ratio. When the first warp yarn encounters the second weft yarn, it forms a warp weave point, which is equivalent to the first warp yarn and the second weft yarn not interlacing, resulting in a certain loss of fabric strength. However, by arranging the first warp yarn and the second warp yarn in a 1:1 ratio, and by having the second warp yarn and the weft yarn interlaced in a plain weave with one up and one down pattern, this defect can be compensated for, and the fabric strength can be improved by using the second weft yarn.
[0036] Ideally, N should be two to five times that of M. The amount of M controls the length of the trough (warp dimension of the fabric). The larger M is, the greater the fabric strength and the smaller the area of the raised stripe per unit area. M of 2 to 3 is suitable. The amount of N controls the length of the raised stripe. If N is too small, there are fewer second weft yarns below the first warp yarn, which is not enough to significantly arch the first warp yarn. However, if N is too large, the raised stripe becomes loose, which is not conducive to a strong three-dimensional effect. An N that is two to five times that of M is conducive to full raised stripes and a tighter fabric structure.
[0037] In some embodiments, the second warp yarn is finer than the first warp yarn. The main function of the second warp yarn is to make the fabric tighter and stronger, and to improve the fabric's tear resistance. The first warp yarn, which is arched by the second weft yarn, is an important part of forming the raised stripes. Designing the first warp yarn to be thicker than the second warp yarn can, to some extent, cover the second warp yarn with the first warp yarn, making the height difference between the raised stripes and the troughs of the fabric more obvious.
[0038] Preferably, the second warp yarn is finer than the first weft yarn, and the second warp yarn is finer than the second weft yarn. This allows for more contact between the warp and weft yarns on the reverse side of the fabric, and when the weft yarn is a functional yarn (such as a heat-generating yarn, a moisture-absorbing yarn, or a moisture-wicking yarn), the special effects of the functional yarn can be better utilized.
[0039] In some embodiments, the second warp yarn is an elastic yarn; the first warp yarn is cotton yarn. The elastic yarn can be, for example, a typical spandex core-spun yarn. Since the first warp yarn is essentially not interwoven with the second weft yarn, the second warp yarn is used to hold the first and second weft yarns together, maintaining the fabric's tightness and preventing it from unraveling, and to accentuate the raised stripes. When the second warp yarn is elastic, it allows the fabric to weave more firmly, improving the fabric's tear resistance and enhancing its stiffness; simultaneously, the first warp yarn is cotton yarn and lacks elasticity. Due to the difference in elasticity between the two, the second warp yarn uses its elasticity to "tighten" the weft yarn, making the troughs lower, and the first warp yarn is more arched by the second weft yarn, resulting in a more significant difference in height between the raised stripes and the troughs, and a stronger three-dimensional effect in the fabric.
[0040] In addition, when the second warp is finer than the first warp, the second warp tends to tighten, and the first warp tends to be arched, which makes the first warp more effective at blocking the second warp, and is more conducive to forming a stronger three-dimensional effect and a stronger sense of stiffness.
[0041] In winter, people need warm clothing to protect themselves from the cold. Some winter fabrics use yarns made from fibers that absorb light and generate heat, while others undergo finishing processes to apply functional coatings that provide far-infrared heating, giving them a certain level of warmth. Some technicians also design double-layer structures, using ultra-fine polyester or nylon fibers as weft yarns, combined with a finishing process that creates a layer of fleece. While this can improve the fabric's warmth, the partial breakage of the yarns to form fleece reduces the fabric's strength, affecting the wearability of the finished garments.
[0042] Therefore, the second weft yarn can be set as a napped yarn with a count of 10S to 21S, which can provide warmth. For example, napped yarn from Weifang Yubang Textile Co., Ltd. can be selected.
[0043] As can be seen, in accordance with the organizational structure of this application, the second warp yarn uses a finer elastic yarn, forming black nap on the fabric base, while the napped yarn is not easily visible on the fabric surface.
[0044] In this embodiment, the combination of yarn and fabric structure achieves the warmth and windproof effect of the fabric, and the fabric has a certain "skeleton" to achieve wearing comfort. It does not require multiple finishing processes, which helps to reduce production costs.
[0045] In some embodiments, the first weft yarn is a plied yarn. The first weft yarn is always interwoven with the warp yarn in a plain weave, which also plays a role in maintaining the strength of the fabric. Using a plied yarn as the first weft yarn can make the fabric stronger and improve its tear resistance.
[0046] Preferably, the ply yarn comprises twisted combed wool yarn and graphene yarn. This allows the ply yarn to combine the effects of both combed wool yarn and graphene yarn. Combed wool yarn is made from natural wool fibers, which is both warm and gentle on the skin; graphene yarn helps reduce static electricity in winter clothing and has a certain heat-generating capacity. Using the ply yarn, which is a combination of combed wool yarn and graphene yarn, as the second weft yarn can improve the fabric's warmth. In addition, the second warp yarn is finer than the first weft yarn, and the second warp yarn is finer than the second weft yarn. On the back of the fabric, the skin can have more contact with the weft yarn, fully utilizing the effects of combed wool yarn and graphene yarn. Specifically, the combed wool yarn can be, for example, combed wool yarn from Zhejiang Xin'ao Textile Co., Ltd., with a count of 21S~32S; the graphene yarn can be, for example, graphene polyester yarn from Nantong Qiangsheng Graphene Technology Co., Ltd., with a denier of 40D~100D.
