Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional high-low pile towels suffer from visual monotony and limited additional value due to consistent pile loop heights, restricting design and production capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A new production method for high-low pile towels involving inconsistent pile loop heights for adjacent loops, combined with special dyeing and finishing treatments, to create a unique visual effect and enhanced hand feel without increasing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If conventional high-low pile towels are produced with consistent pile loop heights for at least three adjacent pile loops, then the weaving process is simple and stable, but the visual effect is monotony and the hand feel is ordinary

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepile loop height consistencyVSAvoidvisual monotony
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by creating high-low pile conversions within 2 adjacent pile loops instead of the conventional 3 or more, generating asymmetric visual patterns that break monotony while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through controlled tensile force adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics by adjusting tensile force during weaving to control pile loop height variations, creating dynamic high-low patterns that respond to controlled force changes rather than static consistent heights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If high-low pile conversion frequency is increased within 2 adjacent pile loops, then visual impact is enhanced and monotony is reduced, but weaving control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual impactVSAvoidweaving control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes physical parameters by controlling tensile force within specific ranges (100-110 kgf for pile warp, 270-280 kgf for ground warp) to achieve high-low pile conversion, transforming force parameter control into visual pattern creation without complex mechanical modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present invention falls within the field of textile products, and specifically provides a brand new production method for a high-low pile towel. The method breaks through the visual monotony of conventional towels and a traditional design method in which two or three adjacent conventional pile loops have a consistent pile loop height in conventional high-low pile towels, but uses a design method in which two or three adjacent pile loops have a inconsistent pile loop height for weaving, and at the same time uses a special dyeing and finishing treatment, whereby the dyed and finished product has a special visual effect, a strong visual impact, and a fluffy and soft hand feel, and the product therefrom has a high additional value without improving the coats, compared with the existing products. The method fills up a blank of high-low pile towels, and can be widely popularized and applied.
