Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing fabric technology, and more particularly to a fabric and clothing. Background Technology

[0002] Textile fabrics are integrated into people's daily clothing, covering items such as underwear and windproof jackets. However, some textile fabrics suffer from problems such as being "heavy and cumbersome" and "stuffy and unable to wick away moisture." On the one hand, textile fabrics are not lightweight enough, resulting in a significant burden when wearing them; on the other hand, textile fabrics have poor breathability, preventing the effective dissipation of moisture and heat generated by the body, thus affecting wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a fabric and garment that achieves both lightness and breathability.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a fabric including a woven layer, the woven layer being woven from hollow fibers with irregular cross-sections, the hollow fibers with irregular cross-sections including a fiber body and a plurality of fiber arms spaced apart around the fiber body, the fiber arms protruding from the fiber body, and the fiber body having a cavity inside.

[0005] In one possible implementation, at least one of the fiber arms has a different thickness than the other fiber arms, the thickness of which is the length of the fiber arm extending in the radial direction of the fiber body.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the plurality of fiber arms includes a plurality of first fiber arms and a plurality of second fiber arms, the first fiber arms and the second fiber arms having unequal thicknesses, and the first fiber arms and the second fiber arms being alternately arranged on the fiber body in sequence.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the hollowness of the irregularly shaped cross-section hollow fiber is greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 60%.

[0008] In one possible implementation, far-infrared powder is disposed inside or on the surface of the hollow fiber with irregular cross-section.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the hollow fiber with the irregular cross-section is nylon fiber or polyester fiber.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the woven layer is a mesh woven layer or a plain woven layer, wherein the mesh woven layer has a plurality of mesh holes.

[0011] In one possible implementation, at least one side surface of the woven layer is formed with a pile layer.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the fluff layer is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0013] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a garment comprising the aforementioned fabric.

[0014] The fabric and garment provided in this application embodiment are woven from hollow fibers with irregular cross sections. By setting a number of fiber arms around the fiber body of the hollow fiber with irregular cross sections and making the fiber arms protrude from the fiber body, a number of grooves are formed between the fiber arms and the fiber body. By setting cavities in the fiber body, both the grooves and the cavities can reduce the weight of the fiber, making the hollow fiber with irregular cross sections lighter than ordinary fibers. As a result, the woven layer made of hollow fiber with irregular cross sections and the fabric made of the woven layer are lighter.

[0015] Meanwhile, when several irregularly shaped cross-section fibers are woven together, the presence of fiber arms allows the fiber bodies to be spaced apart from each other, and the grooves on adjacent irregularly shaped cross-section fibers can connect to form air-storing chambers. Furthermore, air can be stored in the cavities, thus utilizing the heat insulation properties of air to give the woven layer made of irregularly shaped hollow fibers better warmth retention, i.e., the fabric has better warmth retention. In addition, the grooves between the fiber arms can also generate a capillary effect, which can more quickly absorb sweat from the skin surface and diffuse and evaporate, thereby improving the fabric's perspiration performance.

[0026] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0028] In related technologies, many existing fabrics on the market are not lightweight enough and have poor breathability, which affects the comfort of wearing them.

[0029] This application provides a fabric and garment that solves the technical problems of existing fabrics being not lightweight and having poor breathability by using hollow fiber with irregular cross-section to weave the fabric.

[0030] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 Figure 5 As shown, in one aspect, this application provides a fabric including a woven layer 100, which is woven from hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross sections. The hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross sections include a fiber body 111 and a plurality of fiber arms 112 spaced apart along the axial direction of the fiber body 111. The fiber arms 112 protrude from the fiber body 111, and a cavity 1111 is provided inside the fiber body 111.

[0032] In the above technical solution, by circumferentially distributing a plurality of spaced fiber arms 112 on the fiber body 111 and setting the fiber arms 112 to protrude from the fiber body 111, a plurality of grooves 1123 can be formed between the fiber arms 112 and the fiber body 111. By setting cavities 1111 inside the fiber body 111, both the grooves 1123 and the cavities 1111 can reduce the weight of the fiber, making the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110 lighter than ordinary fiber. This makes the braided layer 100 made of the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110 and the fabric made of the braided layer 100 lighter. At the same time, when a plurality of irregular cross-section hollow fibers 110 are arranged in a circumferential direction, the fiber arms 112 and the fiber body 111 can form a plurality of grooves 1123. After the hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross sections are twisted together, the presence of fiber arms 112 allows the fiber bodies 111 to be spaced apart from each other. The grooves 1123 on adjacent hollow fibers with irregular cross sections 110 can be interconnected to form air storage chambers. Furthermore, air can be stored in the cavities 1111. By utilizing the heat insulation properties of air, the woven layer 100 made of hollow fibers with irregular cross sections 110 has better heat retention properties, that is, the fabric has better heat retention properties. In addition, the grooves 1123 between the fiber arms 112 can also generate a capillary effect, which can more quickly absorb sweat from the skin surface and diffuse and evaporate, thereby improving the perspiration performance of the fabric.

[0033] It should be noted that the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110 can be obtained by using a special irregular spinneret and hollow forming technology. Specifically, the outline shape of the spinneret determines the outline shape of the irregular cross-section of the fiber. By embedding a core rod inside the spinneret, a hollow structure can be formed in the middle of the fiber.

[0034] When the irregularly shaped hollow fibers 110 are made into the braided layer 100, the braided layer 100 can be made by directly weaving several irregularly shaped hollow fibers 110 into the braided layer 100 using a textile machine, or by twisting multiple irregularly shaped hollow fibers 110 into yarn, and then weaving several yarns into the braided layer 100 using a textile machine. When the fabric is a single-layer structure, the braided layer 100 can directly form the fabric. When the fabric is a multi-layer composite structure, the braided layer 100 can form the fabric together with other layers. For example, the braided layer 100 can form the fabric together with the pile layer 200.

[0035] Optionally, the cavity 1111 of the fiber body 111 extends along the length of the hollow fiber 110 with irregular cross-section, so that the cavity 1111 has a larger volume, improves the heat insulation effect of the fabric and has a lighter weight.

[0036] Optionally, the fiber arm 112 extends along the length of the hollow fiber 110 with irregular cross-section, so that the fiber arm 112 can form a longer groove 1123, thereby improving the moisture absorption and wicking effect of the fabric.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the fiber arms 112 have equal thicknesses, and the thickness of the arm of the fiber arm 112 is the length of the fiber arm 112 extending in the radial direction of the fiber body 111.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, at least one fiber arm 112 has a different thickness than the other fiber arms 112, and the thickness of the arm of the fiber arm 112 is the length of the fiber arm 112 extending in the radial direction of the fiber body 111.

[0039] By setting the thickness of at least one fiber arm 112 to be different from the thickness of the other fiber arms, the fiber arm 112 has at least two different thicknesses, thereby forming at least two shapes of grooves 1123. In this way, after the hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross sections are filament-jointed, the grooves 1123 of different shapes can form chambers of different shapes, and some chambers can be connected to form larger chambers, thereby making the formed chambers more complex and diverse, which can further improve the heat preservation effect of the fabric.

[0040] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the plurality of fiber arms 112 include a plurality of first fiber arms 1121 and a plurality of second fiber arms 1122, the thicknesses of the first fiber arms 1121 and the second fiber arms 1122 are not equal, and the first fiber arms 1121 and the second fiber arms 1122 are arranged alternately on the fiber body 111.

[0041] By setting up a number of first fiber arms 1121 and a number of second fiber arms 1122, and alternating the first fiber arms 1121 and the second fiber arms 1122 in sequence, after the irregular cross-section hollow fibers 110 are woven, the grooves 1123 on the hollow fibers 110 with different irregular cross-sections can more easily form large cavities, so as to further improve the heat preservation effect of the fabric.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the number of fiber arms 112 is greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 13. The more fiber arms 112 there are, the more chambers are formed, thereby enhancing the capillary effect of the grooves 1123 and improving the fabric's perspiration wicking performance.

[0043] Optionally, the number of fiber arms 112 can be 8, of which the number of first fiber arms 1121 and second fiber arms 1122 is 4 each.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the hollow fiber 110 with an irregular cross-section has a hollowness greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 60%. The higher the hollowness, the more still air is in the cavity 1111, resulting in better insulation of the fabric and a lighter weight.

[0045] It should be noted that the hollowness of the irregularly shaped hollow fiber 110 refers to the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the virtual parts in the irregularly shaped hollow fiber 110 to the total cross-sectional area. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the overall cross-sectional area refers to the area of ​​the circular cross-section formed by the largest fiber radius among the fiber radii extending from the end of each fiber arm 112 away from the irregular cross-section in the thickness direction to the center of the fiber body. Figure 6 The circle enclosed by the dashed line is the circular cross-section formed by the largest fiber radius. The virtual cross-sectional area refers to the remaining cross-sectional area obtained by subtracting the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the fiber arm 112 and the fiber body 111 (excluding the cavity) from the total cross-sectional area. Figure 6 The area of ​​the shape enclosed by the solid line is the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the fiber arm 112 and the fiber body 111.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, far-infrared powder is disposed inside or on the surface of the irregularly shaped cross-section hollow fiber 110.

[0047] Far-infrared powder can emit far-infrared rays of a specific wavelength (typically in the 8-14μm band) after absorbing heat from the human body or the environment. By incorporating far-infrared powder on the surface or inside of the irregularly shaped hollow fiber 110, the irregularly shaped hollow fiber 110 acquires far-infrared functionality. Specifically, the far-infrared rays emitted by the far-infrared powder, upon contact with the human body, can reduce heat loss from the body surface, thereby improving the fabric's heat retention performance.

[0048] It should be noted that the far-infrared powder is disposed on the surface of the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110, which can be disposed on the surface of the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110 by means of a coating. The far-infrared powder is disposed inside the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110, which can be added to the masterbatch of the irregular cross-section hollow fiber 110 during the melt spinning stage.

[0049] Optionally, the far-infrared powder includes at least one of ceramic powder, mineral powder, graphene powder, and carbon fiber powder.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the woven layer 100 is a mesh woven layer. The mesh woven layer has a plurality of mesh holes 101, which can form evaporation channels, increasing the evaporation area of ​​sweat. Compared with a densely woven layer 100, the mesh woven layer has a better drying effect, enabling the fabric to have quick-drying properties, allowing the skin to quickly recover its dryness, and improving the comfort of wearing it.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the woven layer 100 may also be a plain weave layer. Plain weave layers, due to their tighter structure compared to other weaving processes at the same yarn count, give the fabric excellent abrasion resistance and tear resistance, making fabrics and garments made with plain weave layers more durable, wear-resistant, and less prone to deformation. At the same time, plain weave layers also provide a smooth and uniform appearance and feel.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the irregularly shaped cross-section hollow fiber 110 is nylon fiber or polyester fiber.

[0053] Because nylon fibers have high abrasion resistance, hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross-sections made of nylon fibers, as well as fabrics or garments made from these fibers, are more durable. At the same time, because nylon has good resilience, hollow fibers 110 with irregular cross-sections made of nylon fibers, as well as fabrics or garments made from these fibers, are less prone to deformation.

[0054] Because polyester fiber has excellent light resistance and weather resistance, hollow fiber 110 with irregular cross-section made of polyester fiber and fabrics or garments made of this fiber can be used outdoors for a long time without changing color.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, at least one side of the woven surface is formed with a pile layer 200.

[0056] Because of its fluffy, soft, and delicate characteristics, fabrics with a fleece layer 200 offer superior comfort when worn or used. Furthermore, the fleece layer 200 can trap more still air, effectively insulating against cold air and providing better warmth.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pile layer 200 is formed by napping the surface of the braided layer 100 with a napping machine. Therefore, the pile layer 200 also uses hollow fiber 110 with an irregular cross section, and the pile layer 200 also has all the characteristics and effects of hollow fiber 110 with an irregular cross section.

[0058] The specific processing technology of the pile layer 200 is as follows: When knitting the braided layer 100, special knitting machine parts (sinking plates or special needle triangles) can be used to form loops on the surface of the braided layer 100 through differential settling control. Then, the fibers in the loops or yarn are hooked by the needle rollers on the napping machine, breaking or loosening the loops, ultimately forming a dense and soft pile layer 200. If necessary, the pile layer 200 formed by napping can also be trimmed and shaped to control the height of the pile layer 200 and improve its flatness, resulting in better wearing comfort of the fabric.

[0059] Optionally, the fleece layer 200 may include, but is not limited to, flannel, coral fleece, lambskin, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the woven layer 100 is a warp-knitted woven layer 100, which is more likely to form loops, thereby making it easier to form a pile layer 200 on the surface of the woven layer 100.

[0061] In some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the fleece layer 200 is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. A thicker fleece layer 200 can trap more still air, resulting in better insulation, while also providing greater softness and tactile comfort. However, an excessively thick fleece layer 200 is more prone to slow drying. Using a fleece layer 200 of 1-5 mm allows for a balance between quick-drying and insulation performance.

[0062] It should be noted that the embodiments referred to in the specification, such as "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments," may include specific features, structures, or characteristics, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0063] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "one" or "" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0064] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this application should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0065] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.
