[0021] This utility model discloses a knitted garment with lighting effects, which solves the technical problem that the light-emitting body of existing garments with lighting effects is generally bonded to the garment body by adhesive, which makes the light-emitting body easy to fall off after long-term use.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a knitted garment with lighting effects, including a light-emitting body 3, a controller, a power supply 5, and a garment body 1;

[0024] The garment body 1 is knitted with a fabric tube 2, the fabric tube 2 has an inner cavity, the light-emitting body 3 is disposed in the inner cavity, the garment body 1 is also equipped with a fabric bag 4, the power supply 5 and the controller are placed in the fabric bag 4, the controller is electrically connected to the power supply 5, and the light-emitting body 3 is connected to a wire and electrically connected to the controller through the wire.

[0025] It should be noted that the garment body 1, fabric tube 2, and fabric bag 4 in this embodiment are all integrally molded structures, specifically obtained by automated knitting using a computerized flat knitting machine according to a preset program.

[0026] In this embodiment of the knitted garment with lighting effects, the garment body 1 is knitted with fabric channels 2 for placing the light-emitting body 3. This effectively avoids the light-emitting body 3 being fixed to the garment body 1 by adhesive, so that the light-emitting body 3 can be stably attached to the garment body 1, ensuring that the garment can have a continuous and stable lighting effect, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the fabric tube 2 and the fabric bag 4 is minimized to reduce the length of the wires and avoid longer wires being exposed outside the garment, thereby making the garment more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are multiple fabric tubes 2, and each fabric tube 2 is provided with the light-emitting element 3.

[0029] It should be noted that the multiple fabric pipes 2 in this embodiment can be arranged in parallel, intersecting or other combinations. This embodiment does not limit this arrangement and the specific arrangement can be selected according to actual needs.

[0030] In addition, in this embodiment, the fabric pipe 2 can be a straight pipe structure or a curved pipe structure.

[0031] In addition, multiple fabric pipes 2 can overlap each other to form a grid-like structure. This embodiment does not limit this either, and designers can choose according to actual needs.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fabric tube 2 is made of light-colored wool such as white or transparent monofilament as the surface layer of the fabric tube 2, so that the light emitted by the light source 3 can pass through the fabric tube 2 to make the clothing show a lighting effect.

[0033] It should be noted that, since the fabric tube 2 in this embodiment is specifically knitted by a computerized flat knitting machine, the outer surface of the fabric tube 2 will have knitted loops formed by knitting, which are basically the loops in a knitted sweater. The width of the fabric tube 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the number of stitches in the pattern programming as needed. The light emitted by the light source 3 can pass through light-colored wool such as white or use transparent monofilament as the surface layer of the tube, thereby making the garment show a lighting effect.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both ends of the inner side of the fabric tube 2 (i.e., the surface where the inner side of the garment body 1 is located) are provided with entry and exit notches 202 for the light-emitting body 3 to enter and exit.

[0035] It should be noted that the design of the above-mentioned inlet / outlet gap 202 allows the operator to insert the light-emitting body 3 into the fabric pipe 2.

[0036] In addition, a plurality of maintenance notches 201 are provided on the inner side of the fabric tube 2 (i.e. the surface on which the inner side of the garment body 1 is located), and the plurality of maintenance notches 201 are arranged on the fabric tube 2 at a predetermined distance.

[0037] It should be noted that since the light-emitting element 3 has a certain service life and may be damaged during use, the fabric tube 2 has maintenance notches 201 specially designed during the weaving process at intervals. These maintenance notches 201 make it easier for operators to remove the light-emitting element 3 from the fabric tube 2 so that designers can easily maintain, replace or repair the light-emitting element 3.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting element 3 is preferably an LED light strip or a COB light strip. If an LED light strip is used, the LED light strip or COB light strip includes color-changing LED beads.

[0039] It should be noted that the above design allows LED or COB light strips to have color-changing effects, enabling clothing to present better lighting effects.

[0040] In addition, it is preferred that the number of LED beads on a one-meter-long LED or COB light strip is 30-160, and the width of the LED or COB light strip is 5mm to 10mm.

[0041] In addition, each LED chip in a COB light strip contains three small LEDs: red, green, and blue, theoretically providing about 167,000 colors. Therefore, when a COB light strip is lit, the light is more continuous, unlike ordinary LED light sources, which have a discontinuous lighting effect.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power source 5 is a DC 5V or 12V mobile power source.

[0043] It should be noted that the aforementioned power bank is specifically a "power bank" which can stably provide power 5 to the light-emitting element 3, and the user can take it out to recharge when the power bank's power is depleted.

[0044] Furthermore, to prevent the power supply 5 and controller inside the fabric bag 4 from falling out of the fabric bag, the fabric bag 4 in this embodiment can be connected to the garment body 1 by a design such as buttons or zippers to prevent the power supply 5 and controller inside the fabric bag 4 from falling out.

[0045] Furthermore, the controller in this embodiment is specifically a microcontroller controller, which can realize control functions such as turning the light source 3 on and off and changing its color. This is existing technology, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it in detail.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the clothing body 1 can specifically be a top, pants, skirt, suit, shawl, or other types of clothing, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0047] The above provides a detailed description of a knitted garment with lighting effects provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
