Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fabrics, and more particularly to one-way visibility fabrics and tents using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the advancement of society, people's mobility has become increasingly convenient, and outdoor activities have become a major form of recreation during holidays. For example, tents are commonly used for picnics and camping trips in the countryside. Conventional commercially available tents often use a mesh structure to prevent insects from entering during rest periods. While this mesh ensures breathability, it has the drawback of not providing sufficient privacy for those inside. Conversely, closing the tent to ensure privacy can result in a loss of breathability, which can reduce the user's comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a one-way visibility fabric and a tent using the same. That is, when this fabric is applied to a tent, under conditions where the outside light is strong and the inside light is weak, it provides a one-way visibility effect, allowing people inside to see out but not from the outside, thereby ensuring privacy inside the tent.

[0004] The present invention provides a one-way visibility fabric, comprising a fabric body. The fabric body has a plurality of groups of through holes equally spaced in the vertical direction. Each group of through holes is composed of a plurality of through holes equally spaced in the horizontal direction, with the through holes of adjacent groups being offset in the horizontal direction. The distance L between adjacent through holes in each group of through holes and the vertical through hole spacing W are 1 to 8 mm, and the diameter D of each through hole is 0.5 to 2.0 mm.

[0005] By adopting the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention allows the one-way visibility fabric to be applied to a tent, even when the external light is strong and the internal light is weak. In other words, users inside the tent can see the outside scenery through the holes, while those outside cannot see what is happening inside, ensuring privacy within the tent. Furthermore, the holes ensure ventilation. Furthermore, the small diameter of the holes in the fabric body prevents insects from entering the tent, improving user comfort.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 1 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 0.5 mm.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 1.5 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 0.7 mm.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 2.5 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 1 mm.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 5 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 1.2 mm.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 8 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 1.3 mm.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 8 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 1.4 mm.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 7 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 1.5 mm.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hole distance L between two adjacent holes in each group of holes and the vertical spacing W between the holes in two adjacent groups of holes are both 6 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole is 2.0 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a tent, which includes a tent body, and the one-way visibility fabric is used in a partial region of at least one side of the tent body. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the fabric body. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a front view of the fabric body. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of part A in FIG. 2. [Figure 4] This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a tent. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] First, the embodiments of the present invention are intended to illustrate the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make necessary adjustments according to specific application scenarios.

[0017] In describing the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connect" and "couple" should be interpreted broadly. That is, they may include fixed connection, detachable connection, and integral connection. They also include mechanical connection and electrical connection. Furthermore, they are not limited to direct connection, but also include indirect connection via an intermediate medium. The specific meanings of these terms are understood by those skilled in the art depending on the circumstances.

[0018] Furthermore, in embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is described as being "above" or "below" a second feature, this includes not only cases where the first and second features are in direct contact, but also cases where the first and second features are in indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, expressions such as "above," "upper," and "upper surface" include cases where the first feature is located directly above the second feature or diagonally above it, and may simply indicate that the height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. Similarly, expressions such as "below," "below," and "lower surface" include cases where the first feature is located directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or may simply indicate that the first feature is lower in height.

[0019] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. [Example]

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, one embodiment of the present invention relates to a one-way visibility fabric. The one-way visibility fabric includes a fabric body 1, which has multiple sets of through-hole groups equally spaced in the vertical direction. Each through-hole group is composed of multiple through-holes 11 equally spaced in the horizontal direction, and the through-holes 11 in two adjacent through-hole groups are shifted in the horizontal direction. The hole distance L between two adjacent through-holes 11 in each through-hole group and the vertical spacing W between the through-holes 11 in adjacent through-hole groups are 1 to 8 mm, and the hole diameter D of each through-hole 11 is 0.5 to 2.0 mm.

[0021] When applied to a tent, the fabric body exhibits a one-way visibility effect when the external light is strong and the internal light is weak. That is, people inside the tent can see the outside scenery through the holes, while people outside cannot see what is happening inside the tent, ensuring privacy inside. The holes also maintain breathability. Furthermore, the small diameter of the holes in the fabric body prevents insects from entering the tent, thereby increasing user comfort. The principle behind the one-way visibility of the fabric body is the same as that of one-way visibility curtains currently on the market, so a detailed description will be omitted here. [Example]

[0022] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L between two adjacent holes 11 in each hole group and the vertical spacing W between the holes 11 in two adjacent hole groups are both 1 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole 11 is 0.5 mm. In this example, when the illuminance on the outside of the fabric body is 10,000 Lux, the illuminance on the inside of the fabric body is 352 Lux, and the light transmittance of the fabric body is 8.3%. [Example]

[0023] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L between two adjacent holes 11 in each hole group and the vertical spacing W between the holes 11 in two adjacent hole groups are both 1.5 mm, and the hole diameter D of each hole 11 is 0.7 mm. In this example, when the illuminance on the outside of the fabric body is 10,000 Lux, the illuminance on the inside is 371 Lux, and the light transmittance is 8.7%. [Example]

[0024] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: The hole distance L and the vertical spacing W between two adjacent through holes 11 in each through hole group are both 2.5 mm, and the hole diameter D of each through hole 11 is 1 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 Lux, the internal illuminance is 365 Lux and the light transmittance is 8.5%. [Example]

[0025] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 5 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 1.2 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 453 LUX and the light transmittance is 9.9%. [Example]

[0026] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 8 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 1.3 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 380 LUX, and the light transmittance is 9.0%. [Example]

[0027] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 8 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 1.4 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 418 LUX and the light transmittance is 10.1%. [Example]

[0028] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 7 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 1.5 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 420 LUX and the transmittance is 9.9%. [Example]

[0029] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 6 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 1.8 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 455 LUX and the light transmittance is 10.5%. [Example]

[0030] The differences from Example 1 are as follows: the hole distance L and the vertical spacing W are both 6 mm, and the hole diameter D of the through-hole 11 is 2.0 mm. In this example, when the external illuminance is 10,000 LUX, the internal illuminance is 501 LUX and the light transmittance is 11.3%.

[0031] In all of the above examples, in order to ensure one-way visibility, the fabric is configured to have a light blocking rate of 90% or more under lighting conditions of 10,000 lux or more on the outside. In addition, to ensure the light blocking rate, a black laminate layer or a silver-plated layer is applied to the backlight side (inside) of the fabric. [Example]

[0032] As shown in FIG. 4, this embodiment relates to a tent, and includes a tent body 2, and the one-way visibility fabric according to any of the above embodiments is used on at least one side surface 21 of the tent body 2.

[0033] The above description is merely an example of a specific embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily think of various modifications and substitutions within the scope of the disclosure of the present invention, and such modifications and substitutions are also included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined based on the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
