Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of textile products, and more particularly to a fluffy, soft, and less fuzzed three-dimensional woven fabric and a method for weaving the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Towels are a product that is consumed in large quantities and frequently in daily life. Towels are typically constructed by weaving together ground warp and weft threads to form towel loops. Because the loops are exposed, towels of this type have the disadvantage of being prone to snagging and rubbing during use, resulting in the tendency for hair to fall out. Another disadvantage is that towels tend to shed during washing, drying, wiping, and other processes. This is particularly noticeable in towels made with low-twist or no-twist yarns.

[0003] To address this issue, in recent years, three- or multi-layered fabrics have been developed by evolving towel fabrics, for example by weaving ground warp and weft threads together to form upper and lower layers, pile warp and weft threads to form a middle layer, and the pile warp and ground warp threads are joined together at the seams. However, these fabrics are made up of three or more layers of fabric, and because they are light and thin, they lack the fluffiness and elasticity of towels.

[0004] To improve the fluffiness and resilience of products, several patents have been published in the industry for three-layer woven fabrics with a pile structure in the middle layer. For example, Patent Document 101503839A, "Embedded Pile Towel and Weaving Process Thereof," discloses an embedded pile towel and weaving process therefor, in which ground warp yarns and pile warp yarns are woven with weft yarns. The ground warp yarns are divided into two layers and interwoven with weft yarns to form the top and bottom fabrics. The pile warp yarns interwoven with the weft yarns on the top and bottom fabrics to form loops, connecting the top and bottom fabrics, and the interwoven loops are located between the top and bottom fabrics. Patent Document 101509170A, "Weaving Method for Double-Sided Sandwich Pile Towel Fabric and Products Therefrom," discloses a weaving method for double-sided sandwich pile towel fabric and products therefrom, in which two warp systems, ground warp yarns and pile warp yarns, are interwoven with one weft system. Half of the ground warp threads are woven with the weft threads to form the front layer, and the other half are woven with the weft threads to form the back layer. The pile warp threads are woven with the weft threads to form the middle layer. When some of the ground warp threads are woven with the weft threads of the front layer, the ground warp threads of the back layer sink and are not woven with the weft threads. The loops of the towel fabric are blocked in the center by the warp threads of the back layer, and all of the warp threads are looped on the back side. At the same time, some of the warp threads are not woven with the weft threads. When some of the warp threads are woven with the weft threads of the back layer, the warp threads of the front layer rise and are not woven with the weft threads. The loops are blocked in the center by the warp threads of the front layer, and all of the warp threads are looped on the front side. At the same time, the remaining warp threads are not woven with the weft threads. The loops of the fabric obtained with this weaving method are always in the middle layer, solving the problem of loops being easily pulled out. The front and back layers are smooth and loop-free, giving the fabric a smooth appearance.

[0005] Although the two types of pile fabrics mentioned above have different weaves and structures, they share the same fabric structure and are weaved using the same basic principles. However, this structure can expose interlayer loops between the floating warp threads, forming hair particles and significantly affecting the product's appearance. This occurs because tension is applied to the ground warp threads floating above the loops when weaving the middle layer loops. These tensioned ground warp threads alternate 1:1 with the pile warp threads above them. When weaving the middle layer loops, the last raised weft thread pushes the relaxed pile warp threads into the weave opening, forming loops before weaving the next fabric. Because the weave opening cannot be left open, the ground warps of the front and back layers intertwine and close at the weave opening. The pile warp threads formed in the middle layer inevitably become trapped between the ground warp threads of the front or back layers, forming hair particles and significantly affecting the product's appearance.

[0006] Patent document CN101503839A, "Recessed pile towel and manufacturing method thereof," discloses a method for changing the order of pile warp yarns and ground warp yarns, but this still does not fundamentally solve the above problem. In fact, in light of the above, the only way to solve this problem is to set the loop height very low, and the loop length is generally set to less than 0.6 cm (1 loop). Even so, a small amount of hair particles will escape from the edge of the pile fabric, affecting the appearance of the product. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] To address the above-mentioned technical challenges, the present invention provides a fluffy, soft, and low-fuzz three-dimensional woven fabric and a weaving method thereof. This fluffy, soft, and low-fuzz three-dimensional woven fabric is composed of three layers: a top layer, a middle layer, and a back layer. The top layer is composed of a first ground warp, pile warp, and first weft woven together; the middle layer is composed of a pile warp and a second weft woven together; and the back layer is composed of a second ground warp, pile warp, and a third weft woven together. The top and back layers of the woven fabric of the present invention are flat fabrics, while the middle layer is a wavy, arched fabric. The pile warp is woven sequentially with the top and bottom layer warps, first weft, and third weft, connecting the top, middle, and bottom layers to form a three-dimensional woven fabric. This three-dimensional woven fabric is resistant to pullout during use, fluffy, soft, and low-fuzz, while preventing hair particles from being exposed to the outside of the top and back layer fabrics. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0009] The method for weaving a fluffy, soft, and less fuzzed three-dimensional fabric comprises the following steps:

[0010] When designing a woven fabric, first, the first ground warp and pile warp are woven with several wefts of the first and second wefts, and the wefts are passed through a raising device of a towel loom to form a surface layer fabric and an arch-shaped middle layer fabric. At this time, the second ground warp is not woven with the above-mentioned threads, but forms part of the back layer fabric in the form of a warp float. Next, the pile warp and second ground warp are woven with several wefts of the second and third wefts, and the wefts are passed through a raising device of a towel loom to form an arch-shaped middle layer fabric and a back layer fabric. At this time, the first ground warp is not woven with the above-mentioned threads, but forms part of the surface layer fabric in the form of a warp float. The above process is repeated to weave a three-dimensional fabric.

[0011] Preferably, the first ground warp and pile warp are woven with the first weft and second weft by 6 to 12 wefts.

[0012] Preferably, the pile warp and second ground warp are woven with the second weft and the third weft by 6 to 12 wefts.

[0013] Preferably, the number of second wefts woven with the pile warp is 2 to 8.

[0014] More preferably, when the surface layer fabric and the intermediate arch-shaped fabric are woven using a raising device of a towel loom, the number of first wefts woven with the first ground warp threads of the surface layer is 4. When the intermediate arch-shaped fabric and the back layer fabric are woven using a raising device of a towel loom, the number of third wefts woven with the second ground warp threads of the back layer is 4.

[0015] A weave with a small number of second weft yarns in the middle layer is a design suitable for weaves with a not-so-thick middle layer. In this weave, the number of weft yarns and loops woven is small, so the overall density can be designed relatively low, resulting in a softer product feel. Increasing the number of second weft yarns in the middle layer allows for a relatively thicker woven fabric. This reduces the number of loops that appear in the outer layers, but requires a higher overall density.

[0016] Preferably, when weaving the surface layer fabric and the middle layer arched fabric, all wefts, including the first weft and the second weft of the first weft woven with the first ground warp, and the second weft woven with the middle layer pile warp, are beaten with a short reed while uniformly increasing the weft feed distance. The third weft of the first weft woven with the first ground warp is beaten with a long reed, and the fourth weft is beaten with a normal flat fabric weave. The height of the middle layer arched fabric is determined by the weft feed distance of the third weft when beaten with a long reed.

[0017] Preferably, when weaving the middle layer arched fabric and the back layer fabric, the first and second wefts of the third weft woven with the second ground warp, and the second weft woven with the middle layer pile warp, are beaten with a short reed while the weft feed distance increases uniformly. The third weft of the third weft woven with the second ground warp is beaten with a long reed, and the fourth weft is beaten with a normal flat fabric weave. The height of the middle layer arched fabric is determined by the weft feed distance of the third weft when beaten with a long reed.

[0018] The weft feed distance of the long reed beating for weaving the surface layer fabric and the arched middle layer fabric may be the same as or different from the weft feed distance of the long reed beating for weaving the arched middle layer fabric and the back layer fabric. If the feed distances are the same, the woven fabric will have a smooth three-dimensional surface. If the feed distances are different, the woven fabric will have a textured three-dimensional surface.

[0019] More preferably, the second weft yarns of the intermediate layer arched fabric may be entirely or partially water-soluble or alkali-soluble yarns, which are removed in the dyeing and finishing process after being woven into the three-dimensional fabric, thereby imparting a fluffy softness to the fabric.

[0020] The principle of the weaving method that solves the problem of pile warp yarns being exposed from the top and bottom layers is to interweave the weft yarns with the pile warp yarns to form a middle layer during the weaving process. The interwoven weft yarns form one or more horizontal barriers between the pile warp yarns and the ground warp yarns. When the middle layer forms an arched fabric and is turned upside down, the horizontal weft obstruction prevents the pile warp yarns from being exposed between the warp floats in the top or bottom layers, thereby reducing the amount of wool particles in the top and bottom layers. The above effect can be achieved even if all or part of the second weft yarn in the middle layer is water-soluble fiber yarn or alkali-soluble polyester yarn, by dissolving it in the dyeing and finishing process.

[0021] The pile fabric woven by the above method can be dyed, finished, dried and sewn using conventional existing techniques to obtain a fabric with a smooth appearance, a fluffy and elastic texture, resistance to pilling, little shedding and excellent durability.

[0022] In summary, the method for weaving a fluffy, soft, and low-fuzz three-dimensional fabric provided by the present invention involves interweaving ground warp yarns, pile warp yarns, and weft yarns to form a three-dimensional fabric with a unique structure. The three-dimensional fabric hides the non-abrasion-resistant pile warp yarns in the middle layer and interweaves them with a small amount of weft yarn, thereby avoiding the problems of exposed loops and shedding that are common in traditional towel fabrics. At the same time, the low twist of the pile yarns also prevents the problems of pilling due to friction and shedding during wiping. At the same time, the arch-shaped interlayers in the middle of the fabric are structurally more stable than loops, resulting in more orderly loops and less collapse due to the spiraling of the loops, resulting in better elastic resilience. This improves the fluffiness and resilience of the product. The uprightness and resilience of the loops remain unchanged even after multiple washings and dryings. This is something that cannot be achieved with other three-layer fabrics or interlayer loop fabrics woven using other methods. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0024] The above content of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments, but this should not be understood as limiting the scope of the above subject matter of the present invention to the following examples. All technologies implemented based on the above content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all of the following embodiments are completed using conventional existing technologies.

[0025] The dyeing and finishing processes of the textiles in the following embodiments all use existing techniques, and are specifically as follows.

[0026] Process flow: Patchwork - Pot filling (the end of the back weave is inserted first to prevent the weft yarns of the surface and back layers from slipping) - High temperature boiling and bleaching to remove soluble or alkali soluble yarns Removal - Neutralization / Deoxidation - Dyeing - Soap washing - Heat washing - Enzyme polishing - Cleaning - Softening treatment - Dehydration - Drying

[0027] (1) Patchwork: By sewing different fabrics together according to the first weft thread, it is ensured that the end of the first fabric is connected to the beginning of the second fabric, preventing inconsistencies in style and feel due to mismatched orientation. It also prevents weft slippage due to different water flow impact directions in the overflow machine, preventing uneven density on the fabric surface. (2) Potting: The fabric assembled in step (1) is loaded into the pot according to the principle of loading the end of the back weave first. The purpose is to ensure that the water flow impact direction in the overflow machine acts in the opposite direction to the slippage of the weft thread by the weaving needle, reducing the number of defective products with uneven density due to weft slippage. (3) High-temperature boiling / bleaching to remove water-soluble fibers: The dyeing and finishing auxiliaries used in this process and their dosage amounts are as follows: The treatment conditions were as follows: 8 g / L of ionic membrane liquid alkali (mass number: 32%), 7 g / L of H2O2 (27.5%), 0.05 g / L of hydrogen peroxide stabilizer, and 1.0 g / L of refined penetrant (JN-98, manufactured by Shandong Giant Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.). Temperature x time: 100°C x 50 minutes. When the weft yarn in the middle layer is alkali-soluble, the treatment conditions were as follows: 20 g / L of ionic membrane liquid alkali (mass number: 32%), 5 g / L of H2O2 (27.5%), 0.05 g / L of hydrogen peroxide stabilizer, and 1.5 g / L of refined penetrant (JN-98, manufactured by Shandong Giant Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.). Temperature x time: 105°C x 75 minutes. This completely removed the alkali-soluble weft yarn. (4) Dehydration, hot washing, neutralization, and deoxidation are performed to control the fabric's pH to 6.5-8.0 and oxygen content to 0, creating favorable conditions for reactive dyeing. (5) Dyeing: The desired color is obtained using reactive dyes according to the color formula. (6) Soap washing and hot washing: The fabric's color fastness is improved by processes such as hot water washing, soap washing, and warm water washing. (7) Enzyme polishing: The above fabric is subjected to an enzyme polishing treatment. pH: 6-7.5, cellulose softening enzyme 8000L: 0.02%, 50°C x 30 minutes. This treatment improves the appearance of the towels after washing from grade 2.0 to grade 3.0 or 3.5. (8) Softening treatment: A fabric softener is used to increase the fluffiness of the product, softening the polished fabric. Shijiazhuang Federal Science and Technology DT530: 3g / L, treatment conditions: 35°C x 30 minutes. (9) After dehydration, the fabric is gently dried without tension.

[0028] (Example 1) (1) Fabric design: As shown in Figure 3, the three-dimensional fabric is composed of three parts: pile warp, ground warp, and weft. For ease of understanding, the ground warp is divided into two parts: the first ground warp in the surface layer and the second ground warp in the back layer, the weft is divided into three parts: the first weft in the surface layer, the second weft in the middle layer, and the third weft in the back layer, and the pile warp is referred to as pile warp.

[0029] (2) Warp shaft processing: The ground warp weaving shaft is processed according to conventional warp setting and sizing techniques. The first ground warp threads of the front layer and the second ground warp threads of the back layer are both placed on the weaving shaft. The yarn counts of the first ground warp threads of the front layer and the second ground warp threads of the back layer may be the same or different. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the ground warp threads of the front and back layers are the same 16s pure cotton ring spun yarn.

[0030] The pile warp weave shaft is also processed in the same way. Any yarn can be used for the pile warp as long as it can form a loop towel fabric. In this embodiment, we will explain the case where 12s weak twist yarn is used as the pile warp.

[0031] The ratio of the number of ground warp threads to the number of pile warp threads on the ground warp weave axis and the pile warp weave axis may be 2:1, 1:1, 4:1, or other ratios. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the ratio of the number of ground warp threads to the number of pile warp threads on the ground warp weave axis and the pile warp weave axis is 2:1.

[0032] The warp density can be selected from the general warp densities used in towel weaving. For convenience of explanation, this patent will be described using a steel buckle with a warp density of 56#.

[0033] (3) Reed threading: According to Figure 5, the pile warp threads and ground warp threads processed in step (2) are set on the machine, the threads are threaded through the heald, and the reed threading is carried out. Each pile warp thread and ground warp thread is passed through one heald in turn. Then, one ground warp thread, one pile warp thread, and one ground warp thread again are inserted into one reed tooth, for a total of three threads, and this cycle is repeated (or one ground warp thread, one ground warp thread, and one pile warp thread again are inserted into one reed tooth, for a total of three threads, and this cycle is repeated).

[0034] (4) Fabric design: As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the middle layer of the arched fabric is woven with pile warp yarns and second weft yarns. The weft feed distance of the long reed beating depends on the height of the arched fabric. In this example, the length of the arched fabric (the length of the pile warp yarns in the middle layer) is 1.0 cm.

[0035] (5) Weft: The weft threads of the surface and back layers may be the same or different counts. The second weft thread of the middle layer of the arched fabric may be the same as the first and third weft threads, or may be made entirely or partially of water-soluble fiber yarn or alkali-soluble polyester yarn. Fabrics using water-soluble fiber yarn or alkali-soluble polyester yarn as the second weft thread of the middle layer of the arched fabric have the weft thread dissolved during post-dyeing and finishing processes, making the arched fabric fluffier and more elastic. In this embodiment, for example, 40s water-soluble PVA yarn is used as the weft thread of the arched fabric.

[0036] (6) After the above steps, a three-dimensional woven fabric is obtained by weaving. This three-dimensional pile fabric is dyed, finished, dewatered, dried, cut and sewn in a rope overflow machine according to conventional techniques to obtain a finished three-dimensional woven product.

[0037] The product obtained in this embodiment has a smooth surface, a fluffy feel, a pleasant texture, and remarkable resilience. A test of the product after five washes showed good results. This means that there was zero shedding after washing, and the fluffiness of the product increased by approximately 50% after washing, which is far superior to commercially available lint-free 3D woven fabric products. The product's water absorption (ASTM D4772) was over 80%, far superior to the 50% level of commercially available lint-free products. The shedding rate after five home washes was within 5.0‰, better than the industry standard of 9‰. The pilling rating after five washes was 3.0-3.5.

[0038] (Example 2) (1) Fabric design: As shown in Figure 4, the three-dimensional fabric is composed of three parts: pile warp, ground warp, and weft. For ease of understanding, the ground warp is divided into two parts: the first ground warp in the surface layer and the second ground warp in the back layer, the weft is divided into three parts: the first weft in the surface layer, the second weft in the middle layer, and the third weft in the back layer, and the pile warp is referred to as pile warp.

[0039] (2) Warp shaft processing: The ground warp weaving shaft is processed according to conventional warping and sizing techniques. The first ground warp thread of the front layer and the second ground warp thread of the back layer are both arranged on the weaving shaft. In this embodiment, the ground warp threads of the front and back layers are exemplified by ring-spun yarns of 40% polyester / 60% cotton with the same count of 32s / 2.

[0040] The pile warp weaving shaft is also processed in the same manner. In this embodiment, a weakly twisted 21s / 2 pile warp yarn is used as an example for explanation.

[0041] The ratio of the number of ground warp threads to the number of pile warp threads on the ground warp weaving axis and the pile warp weaving axis is 2:1.

[0042] The warp density can be selected from the general warp densities used in towel weaving. For convenience of explanation, this patent will be described using a steel buckle with a warp density of 56#.

[0043] (3) Reed threading: According to Figure 6, the pile warp threads and ground warp threads processed in step (2) are set on the machine, the threads are threaded through the heald, and the reed threading is carried out. Each pile warp thread and ground warp thread is passed through one heald in turn. Then, one ground warp thread, one pile warp thread, and one ground warp thread again are inserted into one reed tooth, for a total of three threads, and this cycle is repeated (or one ground warp thread, one ground warp thread, and one pile warp thread again are inserted into one reed tooth, for a total of three threads, and this cycle is repeated).

[0044] (4) Fabric design: As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the middle layer of the arched fabric is woven with pile warp yarns and the second weft yarns of eight weft yarns. The weft feed distance of the long reed beating depends on the height of the arched fabric. In this embodiment, the length of the arched fabric (the length of the pile warp yarns in the middle layer) is 1.3 cm.

[0045] (5) Weft: The wefts of the surface and lining fabrics are both 32s / 2 ring-spun yarns of 40% polyester / 60% cotton. Of the second wefts in the middle layer of the arch fabric, four are 21s pure cotton yarns, and the remaining four are 60s 100% PVA water-soluble yarns. When these wefts are dissolved in the post-dyeing process, the arch fabric becomes more plump and elastic.

[0046] (6) After the above steps, a three-dimensional woven fabric is obtained by weaving. The three-dimensional terry fabric is dyed, finished, dewatered, dried, cut and sewn in a rope overflow machine according to conventional techniques to obtain a finished three-dimensional woven product.

[0047] The product obtained in this embodiment has a smooth surface, a fluffy feel, a pleasant texture, and remarkable resilience. A test of the product after five washes showed good results. This means that there was zero shedding after washing, and the fluffiness of the product increased by approximately 60% after washing, which is far superior to commercially available lint-free 3D woven fabric products. The product's water absorption rate (ASTM D4772) was over 85%, far superior to the 50% level of commercially available lint-free products. The shedding rate after five home washes was within 5.0‰, better than the industry standard of 9‰. The pilling rating after five washes was 3.0-3.5.
