Description

Color-changing knitted fabric

Technical Field

The invention relates to a knitted fabric, in particular to a color-changing knitted fabric for clothes.

Background

Along with the increasing living standard of people, the requirement on the appearance of the fabric is higher and higher, and the fabric with gorgeous colors can be favored by people. The color of the fabric can be realized by means of colored yarn weaving and post-processing dyeing generally, but the defects that once the color of the fabric is fixed, the color is unchangeable and the color is stiff exist. Therefore, fabric developers are dedicated to developing the color-changeable knitted fabric for clothes, which changes the color of the fabric along with the change of the visual angle.

For example, patent document CN201510079877.9 discloses a color-changeable knitted fabric and a preparation method thereof, which is obtained by interweaving color-changeable fiber yarns and common fiber yarns. However, due to the addition of the color-changing fiber yarn, the fabric effect is limited by the color spectrum, color stability, yarn physical properties and the like of the color-changing fiber yarn, and the performances are inferior to those of the common yarn, so that the stability of the final fabric is poor, and the cost is increased.

For another example, patent document CN201810316701.4 discloses a jacquard fabric with color-changing function and a manufacturing method thereof, and a warp-knitted fabric with color-changing function is obtained through the special weave design. Because a plurality of guide columns and guide grooves are arranged on the jacquard bottom layer of the fabric, the fabric has strong concave-convex sense, the finished product has heavy and not smooth surface, although the fabric has a color-changing effect, the jacquard is rarely used for clothing, the jacquard is a special type, the jacquard has the defects of small market storage amount, low weaving speed, high weaving cost and the like, and the production cost is very high.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to provide a color-changeable knitted fabric for clothes.

The technical solution of the invention is as follows:

the utility model provides a knitted fabric discolours, includes surface and the inside, includes on the surface that coloring yarn A and coloring yarn B, coloring yarn A is higher than coloring yarn B by 20um ~ 300um in knitted fabric's transverse direction, and coloring yarn A area ratio is less than coloring yarn B on the surface.

The color-changing knitted fabric disclosed by the invention uses the non-color-changing yarns, and the obtained fabric is rich and variable in color, good in color development, stable in physical property and low in cost through reasonable yarn configuration, and can be widely used for manufacturing leisure fabric, sports fabric, underwear, swimwear, pajamas and other clothes.

Detailed Description

The utility model provides a knitted fabric discolours, includes surface and the inside, wherein includes on the surface and colourizes yarn A and colourize yarn B, colourize yarn A than colourize yarn B on knitted fabric's transverse direction and have 20um ~ 300um higher, and on the surface colourize yarn A area ratio be less than colourize yarn B.

The color changing effect of the fabric is realized by changing the occupancy ratio of various colors entering the sight line along with the change of the visual angle. Therefore, in order to realize the effect of the fabric color change, the colored yarn a and the colored yarn B are included on the surface of the fabric.

Meanwhile, when the visual angle is changed from a direct-view fabric to an oblique-view fabric, the concave coloring yarns B on the surface of the fabric are shielded by the convex coloring yarns A on the surface of the fabric, and the convex coloring yarns A seen by the sight are more and more along with the increase of the oblique-view angle, so that the fabric generates a color changing effect. Therefore, the colored yarn A is higher than the colored yarn B by 20um to 300um in the transverse direction of the knitted fabric. The horizontal direction herein means a direction perpendicular to the fabric knitting direction. The height of the coloring yarn A is less than 20um than that of the coloring yarn B, and when the fabric is obliquely viewed, the effect that the coloring yarn A shields the coloring yarn B at the convex part on the surface of the fabric is weak, and the color change effect of the fabric is poor; when the height of the coloring yarn A is more than 300um than that of the coloring yarn B, although the color change effect of the fabric is excellent, the surface of the fabric is concave-convex, the hand feeling is rough and not soft, and the fabric is not suitable for clothes. Preferably, the height of the colored yarn a is higher than that of the colored yarn B by 40 to 200um, more preferably 40 to 100um in the transverse direction of the knitted fabric.

In addition, the area ratio of the coloring yarn A on the surface of the fabric is smaller than that of the coloring yarn B in consideration of the color change effect. When the fabric is directly viewed, the surface area occupied by the coloring yarn B on the surface of the fabric is large, and the color of the fabric is more inclined to the color of the yarn B; when the fabric is obliquely viewed, the colored yarns A at the convex parts on the surface of the fabric occupy the fabric and gradually increase, and the color of the fabric is more and more inclined to the color of the yarns A. The fabric has strong color change and excellent color change effect by limiting the height difference and the area difference of the surface coloring yarn A and the coloring yarn B.

In order to improve the color change effect of the fabric, the surface area ratio of the colored yarn A is preferably 10-45%, and more preferably 15-35%. The surface area ratio of the coloring yarn A is less than 10%, the color of the fabric tends to be more toward the coloring yarn B when the fabric is seen directly, but the coloring yarn A at the convex part of the fabric cannot completely shield the coloring yarn B at the concave part when the fabric is seen obliquely, so that the color change effect of the fabric tends to be poor; when the surface area ratio of the colored yarn a is more than 45%, the colored yarn B in the concave part is shielded by the colored yarn a in the convex part when the fabric is obliquely viewed, and the fabric takes the color of the colored yarn a, but when the fabric is directly viewed, the color of the fabric takes the mixed color of the colored yarn a and the colored yarn B, and the color change effect of the fabric tends to be poor.

The color of the colored yarn a and the colored yarn B may affect the color change effect of the fabric, and if the color of the colored yarn a and the color of the colored yarn B are close, the color change effect of the fabric may not be obvious, and therefore, the difference in color between the colored yarn a and the colored yarn B is preferably 10 or more, more preferably 20 or more.

The colored yarn a and the colored yarn B may be knitted directly with colored yarn, or the yarn may be colored by dyeing.

Preferably, the fineness of the coloring yarn a is smaller than that of the coloring yarn B, in consideration of the possibility that the color change effect of the direct view of the fabric is affected when the fineness of the coloring yarn a is greater than or equal to that of the coloring yarn B.

Preferably, the fineness of the colored yarn A is 11dtex to 84 dtex. The titer of the colored yarn A is less than 11dtex, the yarn cost tends to be high and the knitting is difficult, and the height of a convex part formed by the colored yarn A is possibly small due to the thin yarn, so that the color change effect of the fabric in the squint direction can be influenced; the fineness of the colored yarn A is larger than 84dtex, which is not beneficial to controlling the area of the surface of the fabric occupied by the colored yarn A, possibly influencing the color change effect of the direct vision of the fabric, and the height of a convex part formed by the colored yarn A is possibly too large due to thicker yarn, possibly influencing the roughness of the surface of the fabric.

Preferably, the fineness of the colored yarn B is 33dtex to 111 dtex. The titer of the coloring yarn B is less than 33dtex, the yarn cost is higher, and the covering area of a concave part formed by the coloring yarn B is smaller due to the thinner yarn, so that the color change effect of the direct vision of the fabric can be influenced; the fineness of the colored yarn B is larger than 111dtex, and the fabric tends to be too thick and heavy.

Preferably, the knitted fabric is a warp knitting structure, and the knitting traversing distance of the coloring yarn A is smaller than that of the coloring yarn B. This is because the warp knitting structure has a multilayer structure, the color-changing stereoscopic impression is stronger than that of the weft knitting structure, and the color-changing effect is better when the knitting traverse distance of the coloring yarn a is smaller than that of the coloring yarn B.

Preferably, the colored yarn a is a chain stitch and the colored yarn B is a warp pile stitch, and more preferably, the colored yarn a and the colored yarn B are knitted in the same direction. This is because the color-changing effect is better when the traversing distance of the colored yarn A during weaving is 0.

Preferably, the colored yarn a is a warp flat structure, and the colored yarn B is a warp pile structure. The method considers that when the coloring yarn A adopts a warp flat structure, the weaving traversing distance is 1, so that the structure effect is more stable, and the color changing effect is better.

In consideration of the requirements of the hand feeling and the appearance of the fabric, other yarns can be woven into the fabric, but the surface area ratio of the other yarns is not more than that of the coloring yarn A.

The color-changing knitted fabric can be used for making leisure fabric, sports fabric, underwear, swimwear, pajamas and other clothes.
