Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart wearable textile technology, and more specifically to a silver-plated composite clothing fabric that can monitor the dehydration status of athletes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, sportswear on the market mainly focuses on basic functions such as breathability, sweat wicking, and comfort, and cannot characterize an athlete's physical condition (especially dehydration). Athletes sweat profusely after strenuous exercise, making them highly susceptible to dehydration, but they often cannot accurately assess this, potentially putting them in a dangerous situation. In existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent (202111090705.3), a method for preparing a sweat-sensing band based on SERS is disclosed. This method uses double-layer gold nanorod particles prepared by seed growth in the band to monitor bioanalytes in sweat. However, the process is complex, the biocompatibility needs to be improved, and the band has poor breathability and insufficient stability for long-term use, which is not conducive to athletes' long-term comfort for intelligent monitoring. In addition, Chinese Patent (202410270609.4) discloses a stretchable in-situ sweat flow rate sensing patch and its preparation method. Although it can ensure dry and comfortable skin and reduce sweat waste and improve the accuracy of sweat flow rate monitoring, the patch directly affects comfort when applied to the human body, and the stretchability is limited. The preparation process is complex and it is difficult to meet the needs of daily wear and high-precision human sweat monitoring.

[0003] The existing devices for monitoring athletes' sweat still have the following problems: First, they cannot be integrated with sportswear, which can easily cause discomfort to the body; second, the performance and accuracy of long-term cyclic use are difficult to guarantee, and the amount of sweat in the human body cannot be assessed in real time, which may lead to athletes' unconscious dehydration. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a silver-plated composite clothing fabric that can monitor the dehydration status of athletes, so as to solve the problems of insufficient comfort and accuracy of traditional sweat detection devices in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a silver-plated composite clothing fabric that can monitor the dehydration status of athletes, including a clothing body, on which a sensing fabric is provided, the sensing fabric being composed of an outer breathable and quick-drying fabric, a middle silver-plated mesh fabric, and a skin-contact fabric.

[0006] The outer breathable and quick-drying fabric is made of an elastic and moisture-permeable material;

[0007] The intermediate silver-plated mesh fabric includes a nylon substrate with a silver-plated layer on its surface. The silver-plated layer is a resistance sensing unit. The resistance sensing unit is connected to the processing module through conductive yarns. The silver-plated layer is woven into a diamond mesh structure by interlacing the warp and weft silver-plated yarns at a 60-degree angle. The intersections of the yarns form conductive nodes.

[0008] The skin-adhesive layer fabric is a water-absorbing material, and the skin-adhesive layer fabric has a number of directional sweat-guiding micropores, which are used to directionally penetrate sweat into the middle layer.

[0009] The processing module is used to issue a dehydration warning.

[0010] Furthermore, the diamond mesh size of the silver-plated mesh fabric in the intermediate layer is 2.5 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the skin-adhesive layer fabric is an antibacterial cotton fabric or an antibacterial cotton blend fabric.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer breathable and quick-drying fabric is a polyester filament knitted fabric.

[0013] Furthermore, the conductive yarn is made of silver-plated conductive wire.

[0014] Furthermore, the conductive yarn is configured in a serpentine shape.

[0015] Furthermore, the processing module is equipped with an LED ring for issuing warnings.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model incorporates a detection device into clothing, allowing the clothing to detect the wearer's sweat levels and provide an early warning of "dehydration" to prevent dangerous situations. By integrating the device with clothing, the garment gains functionality while simultaneously improving the comfort of using the detection device.

[0018] Through the dynamic resistance response mechanism of the silver-plated mesh fabric in the middle layer, the changes in electrolyte concentration in sweat can be sensed in real time. The processing module detects the changes, determines the risk of dehydration, and issues an early warning. Compared with traditional humidity monitoring methods, this is more timely and can effectively avoid the dangers of athletes' unconscious dehydration.

[0019] Through the structural and shape design of the silver plating layer, the sweat response sensitivity is significantly improved, meeting the needs of daily wear and high-precision monitoring. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The attached diagram is labeled as follows: 1. Outer layer breathable and quick-drying fabric; 2. Middle layer silver-plated mesh fabric; 3. Skin-friendly layer fabric. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] This invention provides a silver-plated composite garment fabric for monitoring athletes' dehydration status, comprising a garment body with a sensing fabric on it. The sensing fabric is composed of an outer breathable and quick-drying fabric 1, a middle silver-plated mesh fabric 2, and a skin-contact fabric 3. The outer breathable and quick-drying fabric 1 is made of an elastic and moisture-permeable material. The middle silver-plated mesh fabric 2 includes a nylon substrate with a silver-plated layer on its surface. The silver-plated layer is a resistance sensing unit, which is connected to a processing module via conductive yarns. The silver-plated layer is formed by interlacing warp and weft silver-plated yarns at a 60-degree angle to create a diamond-shaped mesh structure, with the intersections forming conductive nodes. The skin-contact fabric 3 is a water-absorbing material with several directional sweat-wicking micropores that direct sweat to the middle layer. The processing module is used to issue a dehydration warning.

[0024] When the wearer exercises, increased sweat production occurs. Sweat permeates through the microporous, targeted sweat-guiding channels of the skin-contact fabric 3 to the middle layer, where it comes into contact with the silver-plated layer, i.e., the resistance sensing unit. The presence of electrolyte ions such as sodium and potassium in the sweat enhances the conductivity of the silver-plated layer, thus reducing its resistance. A processing module connected by conductive yarns monitors these resistance changes in real time, indicating heavy sweating. Conversely, in a state of dehydration, the body reduces sweat production to maintain normal function, and the concentration of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium in the sweat decreases. This reduces the number of electrolyte ions on the silver-plated layer that enhance conductivity, weakening its conductivity and increasing its resistance. The processing module records the sweat conductivity at initial states, such as after exercise and before heavy sweating. When the sweat conductivity drops to 60% of its initial value, the module detects this change. When the temperature reaches approximately 100°C, it means the athlete may be dehydrated. At this time, the processing module will activate the early warning mechanism to remind the athlete to replenish water in time. In addition, the outer breathable and quick-drying fabric 1 is made of a material with high moisture permeability, which can quickly expel sweat that has penetrated to the outer layer of the fabric, avoid sweat accumulation in the fabric, ensure the overall dryness of the fabric, and keep the athlete in a relatively comfortable state during exercise. At the same time, it will not affect the monitoring effect of the middle layer. The processing module can be powered by a button battery.

[0025] Furthermore, the diamond mesh size of the intermediate silver-plated mesh fabric 2 is 2.5 mm.

[0026] The 2.5mm diamond-shaped mesh design allows sweat to fill the mesh quickly, increasing the contact area between sweat and the silver-plated mesh. This significantly improves the sensitivity of the middle layer silver-plated mesh fabric to sweat, ensuring more timely and accurate monitoring data.

[0027] Furthermore, the skin-adhesive layer fabric 3 is an antibacterial cotton fabric or an antibacterial cotton blend fabric.

[0028] The skin-adhesive layer fabric 3 can be made of one of the following: a fabric made of genuine antibacterial yarn, a nano-silver modified active cotton fabric, or a polyquaternium salt antibacterial cotton fabric. The antibacterial cotton fabric or its blended fabric has antibacterial properties, which can inhibit bacterial growth. At the same time, its good water absorption properties can quickly absorb sweat from the skin surface. The fabric is made of genuine antibacterial yarn.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer breathable and quick-drying fabric 1 is a polyester filament knitted fabric.

[0030] Polyester filament knitted fabrics have high moisture permeability, which can quickly wick away internal sweat to the outside. They also have good elasticity, which can effectively prevent sweat from accumulating inside the fabric, keeping the fabric dry overall, while ensuring the fabric's elasticity so as not to affect the athlete's activities.

[0031] Furthermore, the conductive yarn is made of silver-plated conductive wire.

[0032] The silver-plated conductive wire has good conductivity, which can accurately transmit the resistance change signal of the middle layer silver-plated mesh fabric 2 to the processing module, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission, reducing signal loss, and improving the accuracy of monitoring.

[0033] Furthermore, the conductive yarn is configured in a serpentine pattern.

[0034] The serpentine conductive yarn can stretch with the fabric when it is stretched, avoiding the connection breakage caused by stretching. This ensures that the fabric can maintain a good signal connection during stretching, without affecting the monitoring function, and can adapt to various sports movements of athletes.

[0035] Furthermore, the processing module is equipped with an LED ring for issuing warnings.

[0036] When the processing module determines that there is a risk of dehydration, the control LED ring emits a red flashing signal, so that athletes and related personnel can quickly and clearly receive the dehydration warning and take timely measures such as rehydration to avoid danger.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
