Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional woven cloth production methods require extensive time and prone to detachment when adding three-dimensional structures, as they are either sewn or attached with adhesives, leading to instability.

Innovation Solution

The integration of first, second, and third threads, where first and second threads are interwoven to tie third threads, forming three-dimensional structures without additional attachment, with third threads being softer and larger in diameter to protrude and form stable structures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If three-dimensional structures are added by sewing or adhesives, then the woven cloth has decorative patterns, but the structures are easily detached and production time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional structureVSAvoidattachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the three-dimensional structure directly into the woven cloth by integrating third threads into the weaving process. The first threads are interwoven with both second threads and third threads, creating a unified structure where the three-dimensional elements become an integral part of the fabric rather than separate attachments. This eliminates the need for additional sewing or adhesive processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The three-dimensional structures are formed during the initial weaving process rather than being added afterward. The third threads are incorporated into the weave pattern from the beginning, allowing the structures to be created preliminarily as the cloth is being woven, which prevents later attachment issues and reduces production time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Shape

If three-dimensional structures are sewn repeatedly for greater thickness, then the thickness increases, but production time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethicknessVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple thread layers and three-dimensional structures are created in a single weaving operation. The first threads interweave with multiple second and third threads simultaneously, combining what would traditionally require multiple separate sewing operations into one integrated weaving process, thereby maintaining thickness while dramatically reducing production time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The weaving process continues uninterrupted to create thick three-dimensional structures. The loom weaves all layers and structural elements in a continuous motion without stopping for separate attachment operations, maintaining continuous useful action throughout the production of thick fabrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Shape

If additional three-dimensional structures are attached, then the woven cloth has enhanced structure, but the attachment is unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional structureVSAvoidstructure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The third threads forming three-dimensional structures are merged into the fabric through interweaving with first threads. This creates a unified composition where all elements are structurally integrated, eliminating the instability associated with separate attachments and ensuring the three-dimensional structures become a stable, permanent part of the cloth.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The woven cloth includes a plurality of first threads, a plurality of second threads, and a plurality of third threads. Each first thread and each second thread are woven by a plurality of filaments respectively. Each first thread is interwoven with and ties the plurality of second threads and is interwoven with and ties at least part of the plurality of third threads. The third threads are not interwoven with the plurality of the second threads.
