Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile fabrics, specifically to an antibacterial, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying composite fabric. Background Technology

[0002] When exercising in the summer, wearers typically choose sportswear with moisture-wicking properties to keep their bodies dry and comfortable. The main function of this type of clothing is to quickly absorb sweat produced during exercise and transfer it from the skin's surface to the outer layer of the fabric, where it evaporates, thus achieving cooling and maintaining comfort. However, during strenuous or prolonged exercise, the body produces a large amount of sweat. This sweat is first absorbed by the fabric of the sportswear, which usually has a porous structure to facilitate the storage and outward diffusion of sweat.

[0003] As exercise continues and the amount of sweat increases, the pores inside the fabric gradually become filled or even blocked by sweat. This blockage significantly reduces the fabric's breathability and moisture-wicking properties, making it difficult for sweat that could otherwise escape to be effectively expelled from the fabric. Sweat trapped inside the fabric keeps it damp for extended periods. Damp fabric not only increases the feeling of heaviness when worn, but more importantly, due to the surface tension of water and the interaction between the fabric and the skin, damp fabric tends to cling to or even stick to the wearer's skin.

[0004] The stickiness of this fabric to the skin can cause numerous discomforts. First, it restricts the wearer's freedom of movement, especially during activities requiring a wide range of physical activity. The sticky clothing creates additional friction and resistance, affecting athletic performance. Second, prolonged dampness and stickiness reduce skin breathability, affecting the skin's normal respiration and heat dissipation, potentially leading to itching, redness, and other discomfort, and even skin inflammation. Furthermore, damp fabric can create a cold, clammy feeling, severely impacting comfort and the overall experience during exercise. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an antibacterial, moisture-wicking and quick-drying composite fabric. This fabric can maintain good breathability when sweating heavily, achieve rapid one-way moisture wicking and evaporation of sweat, and reduce the stickiness between the fabric and the skin, thereby significantly improving the wearer's exercise comfort.

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

[0007] An antibacterial, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying composite fabric includes a main fabric body. The main fabric body includes breathable zones and quick-drying zones designed to meet the sweating and breathability needs of different parts of the body. The breathable zones and quick-drying zones are securely connected together by means of sewing threads or similar methods.

[0008] The key feature is that the quick-drying zone comprises a conductive layer and an evaporation layer that are stacked one on top of the other. The conductive layer is designed to be close to the skin, while the evaporation layer is designed to be on the outer side away from the skin. The conductive layer and the evaporation layer are connected by connecting lines to ensure a strong interlayer bond and help maintain structural stability.

[0009] To further improve moisture-wicking performance and reduce skin contact, the conductive layer has a recessed area on the side opposite to the evaporation layer.

[0010] The conductive layer is woven from hydrophobic yarn, which is further made of twisted polypropylene fibers, possessing natural hydrophobicity. To enhance its hydrophobic effect, the outer surface of the hydrophobic yarn may be further coated with a hydrophobic coating. The linear density of the hydrophobic yarn is controlled at 40-60 dtex to ensure the fabric's lightness and softness.

[0011] The evaporation layer is woven from hydrophilic yarn, which is further made of twisted polyester fibers with a cross-shaped cross section. This irregular cross section increases the specific surface area of ​​the yarn, enhances the capillary effect, and thus improves the moisture absorption and wicking diffusion capabilities.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to form an effective humidity gradient to promote the unidirectional transfer of sweat from the conductive layer to the evaporative layer, the linear density of the hydrophilic yarn is designed to be 1.5-2.4 times that of the hydrophobic yarn, that is, the linear density range is approximately 60-144 dtex.

[0013] Furthermore, the thickness of the conductive layer is preferably 0.3-0.5 mm, and the thickness of the evaporation layer is preferably 0.5-0.7 mm. This thickness configuration ensures both functionality and maintains a suitable fabric thickness.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the recessed area can be designed to be 3-5 cm, and the depth of the recess can be 0.2-0.4 mm. This recessed structure effectively reduces the actual contact area between the conductive layer and the skin, reducing the sticky feeling, while the formed micro-cavities also facilitate air circulation and the initial diffusion of sweat.

[0015] Furthermore, the breathable area employs an open-structure design, comprising multiple parallel vertical elastic strips interwoven or connected with horizontal elastic strips. These elastic strips naturally form approximately quadrilateral ventilation holes. This structure directly provides channels for air circulation, enhancing the overall breathability of the garment.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to optimize the structural stability and breathability of the breathable area, the density of the vertical elastic strips is preferably 8-12 strips / cm, and the density of the horizontal elastic strips is preferably 6-10 strips / cm.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. Zoning function for precise control: By setting up breathable and quick-drying zones, the functional layout can be adjusted according to the needs of different parts of the body during exercise. For example, a quick-drying zone can be set up in areas prone to sweating, while a breathable zone can be set up in areas requiring high breathability, thus achieving more scientific heat and humidity management.

[0019] 2. Highly efficient one-way moisture wicking: The double-layer structure of the quick-drying zone utilizes a linear density gradient to create a humidity potential difference from the inside out, which can quickly absorb sweat from the skin surface and conduct it unidirectionally to the outer layer for evaporation, keeping the skin dry.

[0020] 3. Reduced stickiness and improved comfort: The recessed areas in the conductive layer reduce the contact area between the fabric and the skin, reducing the feeling of dampness, coldness, and stickiness; at the same time, the efficient sweat transfer also prevents the fabric from sticking to the skin due to saturation, improving comfort and freedom of movement during exercise.

[0036] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.

[0037] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1-6 The antibacterial, moisture-wicking and quick-drying composite fabric shown has a main body 1 comprising a breathable zone 11 and a quick-drying zone 12 connected by sewing.

[0039] The quick-drying zone 12 consists of two layers: an inner layer close to the skin, called the conductive layer 121, and an outer layer further away from the skin, called the evaporation layer 122. The conductive layer 121 and the evaporation layer 122 are fixed together by intermittent connecting lines 123.

[0040] The conductive layer 121 is woven from hydrophobic yarn 1211 with a linear density of 50 dtex and a thickness of 0.4 mm. On the skin-contact side of the conductive layer 121, there are regularly spaced recessed areas 124, each with a diameter of approximately 4 cm and a depth of 0.3 mm.

[0041] The evaporation layer 122 is woven from hydrophilic yarn 1221 with a linear density of 100 dtex and a thickness of 0.6 mm.

[0042] The hydrophobic yarn 1211 is made of polypropylene fibers twisted together, and the hydrophilic yarn 1221 is made of polyester fibers with a cross-shaped cross section twisted together.

[0043] The breathable zone 11 is composed of a mesh structure consisting of vertical elastic strips 111 and horizontal elastic strips 112. The density of the vertical elastic strips 111 is 10 strips / cm, and the density of the horizontal elastic strips 112 is 8 strips / cm. They form approximately quadrilateral air vents 113.

[0044] When worn, sweat comes into contact with the conductive layer 121 of the quick-drying zone 12. Due to the presence of hydrophobic fibers and recessed areas 124, sweat does not easily spread on the skin surface but is quickly absorbed and, through capillary action and the moisture gradient effect, passes unidirectionally through the conductive layer 121 to reach the highly hydrophilic evaporation layer 122. The cross-section polyester fibers of the evaporation layer 122 have a huge specific surface area, enabling them to quickly disperse, spread, and efficiently evaporate sweat into the air. Simultaneously, the numerous pores 113 in the breathable zone 11 ensure air circulation between the inside and outside of the garment, further accelerating sweat evaporation and removing heat. The entire process achieves highly efficient moisture absorption, wicking, and quick-drying effects, while the recessed areas 124 significantly reduce the fabric's sticky feel. When using this fabric to make garments, the quick-drying zone 12 can be placed in areas with high sweat volume, such as the back and chest, while the breathable zone 11 can be placed in areas such as the waist or armpits. Figure 3 As shown.

[0045] The quick-drying zone 12 in this invention is knitted by a computerized flat knitting machine with needle selection function, and its design is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The connecting line segment 123 is formed by the front bed loop and the rear bed weaving method, and the connecting line segment 123 has a recessed area 124 at the connection point of the conductive layer 121 due to the pull of the evaporation layer 122.

[0046] The breathable area 11 is treated with an antibacterial finishing agent to give it antibacterial properties, such as silver ion antibacterial agents, which are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The hydrophobic coating 1212 can be a commonly used textile hydrophobic finishing agent such as fluorocarbon compound or organosilicon, which is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The breathable area 11 is a warp-knitted fabric with a weft-inserted warp-knitted mesh structure. The longitudinal knitting chains form vertical elastic strips 111, while the transverse weft yarns form transverse elastic strips 112. It is woven from yarns containing elastic fibers such as spandex.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
