Description

Technical area

[0001] The present utility model belongs to the technical field of napped fabrics and relates in particular to a weft-knitted short napped fabric. State of the art

[0002] Currently, ultra-soft fleece is generally a warp-knitted fleece fabric. Its fleece surface features dense, soft fleece fibers and a beautiful sheen. However, due to the use of polyester elastomer filaments on the front side, the fabric has a stiff feel and is visually unappealing. It is also prone to pilling, fuzzy growth, and thread loops. Therefore, the front side is generally covered with another fabric by sewing or other methods, resulting in high manufacturing costs. To address this, utility model patent CN203904603U discloses an ultra-soft, fleece-like, double-sided weft-knitted, warming fabric. It comprises a front layer and a fleece layer. The front layer is knitted from cover yarn, binding yarn, and elastane threads. The fleece layer is knitted from underyre and binding yarn. Both layers have a six-way cycle structure.

[0003] Although the aforementioned ultra-soft, double-sided, weft-knitted, warming fabric exhibits the advantages of warp-knitted ultra-soft fleece on the fleece side, with dense, soft, and rich fleece fibers and a beautiful sheen, and possesses a smooth, attractive front surface as well as good resistance to snagging, pilling, and fuzzing, it still exhibits the following obvious shortcomings in use: The fleece fabric contains no single-component fibers, resulting in low water absorption during use. It also becomes stiff after washing and is prone to color loss. Furthermore, no conductive yarns are incorporated into the knitting. Because the surface of the fleece fabric is completely covered with fleece, bacteria easily form on the fleece surface. Additionally, static electricity is easily generated during use, which impairs wearing comfort. Content of the utility model

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a weft-knitted short-nap fabric to solve the problems set out in the preceding prior art.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A weft-knitted short-nap fabric comprises a single-sided nap fabric and a double-sided nap fabric. Both the single-sided nap fabric and the double-sided nap fabric each have a nap yarn layer and a base mesh layer. Conductive yarns are woven into the base mesh layer in strips. The nap yarns of the single-sided nap fabric and the double-sided nap fabric consist of single-component polyester threads with a single filament denier of less than 0.33 dtex and a pile height of less than 2.5 mm. Both the single-sided and the double-sided nap fabrics have a base mesh layer.

[0006] The conductive yarns are woven into the base mesh layer. The fleece yarn layer uses single-component polyester threads with a single filament denier of less than 0.33 dtex, which increases softness and provides strong water absorption, thus improving the fabric's comfort.

[0007] The single-sided and double-sided fleece fabrics are knitted from single-component polyester threads and divided into a fleece yarn layer and a base mesh layer. Conductive yarns are woven into the base mesh layer, reducing charge accumulation on the fabric surface and achieving an antistatic effect.

[0008] The fuzzy yarns of the single-sided fuzzy fabric and the double-sided fuzzy fabric contain single-component polyester threads whose single filament denier is less than 0.33 dtex and whose pile height is less than 2.5 mm.

[0009] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model: In this weft-knitted short-pile fabric, the use of polyester threads with a single filament denier of less than 0.33 dtex in the looped yarn layer significantly improves the fabric's breathability, heat retention, and water absorption. The single-sided and double-sided looped fabrics, constructed from single-component polyester threads, make the short-pile fabric easy to dye and offer enhanced colorfastness. Printing technologies such as digital thermal transfer printing and similar processes are used to achieve ideal color brilliance and colorfastness. Garments made from this fabric are more comfortable and softer to wear.Simultaneously, the combination of single-sided and double-sided looped fabrics, along with conductive yarns woven into the base mesh layer, absorbs moisture and perspiration, thus eliminating the effects of static electricity on the human body, protecting human health, and significantly increasing the fabric's practicality. The use of single-component polyester threads with a single-filament denier of less than 0.33 dtex in both the single-sided and double-sided looped fabrics results in short-pile fabrics exhibiting high water absorption, softness, and low susceptibility to color fading. Furthermore, the conductive yarns woven into the base mesh layer eliminate the effects of static electricity on the human body, protecting human health, and significantly enhancing the fabric's practicality. Description of the attached drawings Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the present utility model; Fig. Figure 2 is a front sectional view of the double-sided fuzzy fabric of the present utility model; and Fig. Figure 3 is a top view of the present utility model.

[0010] In the drawings, the following are designated: 1-single-sided fuzzy fabric; 2-double-sided fuzzy fabric; 3-fluffy yarn layer; 4-base mesh layer; and 5-conductive yarns. Examples of implementation

[0011] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is evident that the described embodiments represent only partial embodiments of this utility model and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art achieves without inventive step are entitled to the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0012] Referring to the Fig.1-3 presents a technical solution in the present utility model: A weft-knitted short-nap fabric comprises a single-sided nap fabric 1 and a double-sided nap fabric 2. The nap yarns consist of single-component polyester threads with a single filament denier of 0.29 dtex, giving the double-sided short-nap fabric the properties of high strength, good elasticity, good abrasion resistance, and good lightfastness, and preventing color loss during subsequent use, thus improving the durability of the double-sided short-nap fabric. Furthermore, conductive yarns 5 are incorporated into the single-sided nap fabric 1, the double-sided nap fabric 2, and the base mesh layer 4.The fuzzy yarns of the single-sided fuzzy fabric 1 and the double-sided fuzzy fabric 2 contain single-component polyester threads with a single-filament denier of 0.29 dtex and a pile height of 2 mm, giving the short-pile fabric good water absorption, a softer feel, and easy drainage. Both the single-sided fuzzy fabric 1 and the double-sided fuzzy fabric 2 have a base mesh layer 4. The incorporated conductive yarns 5 are dyeable, have high strength, are suitable for independent use, offer excellent value for money, and have a wide range of applications. The conductive yarns 5, woven into the base mesh layer 4, are inserted in strips, effectively eliminating static electricity in the fabric and reducing the adsorption of dust particles. Garments made from this fabric can be used long-term and offer a high level of safety.Both the single-sided fusible weave 1 and the double-sided fusible weave 2 have an inner base mesh layer 4, so that when used to manufacture garments, the weft-knitted short fusible weave has good tensile strength, does not tear easily and is more durable.

[0013] In particular, the use of high-density fuzzy yarns in the fuzzy yarn layer further improves the breathability, heat retention, and moisture absorption of the double-sided short-pile fabric. Because both the single-sided fuzzy fabric 1 and the double-sided fuzzy fabric 2 are made from single-component polyester threads, the short-pile fabric is easy to dye and exhibits increased colorfastness in dyeing and printing processes. The fuzzy yarns have a very low single-filament denier, a low pile height, and a light weight, making the garments more comfortable and softer to wear.Simultaneously, the combination of the single-sided loop fabric 1, the double-sided loop fabric 2, the base mesh layer 4, and the incorporated conductive yarns 5 eliminates the adverse effects of static electricity on the human body, protects human health, and significantly increases the fabric's practicality. The use of single-component polyester threads with a single filament denier of 0.29 dtex in the single-sided loop fabric 1 and the double-sided loop fabric 2 results in short-pile fabric exhibiting high water absorption, softness, and low susceptibility to color fading, further enhancing the fabric's practicality.

[0014] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not serve to limit the scope of the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preceding embodiments, those skilled in the art are nevertheless able to modify the technical solutions described in the preceding embodiments or to replace some of their technical features with equivalents. All modifications, equivalents, and improvements made in the spirit and principle of the present utility model fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
