Description

Fabric capable of keeping wearing comfort and elegant appearance in movement process

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of design and preparation of textile functional fabrics, in particular to a fabric which can not only drain sweat from a fabric bottom to keep the dryness of the microenvironment of skin and the fabric bottom and the heat-moisture comfortable feeling of wearing, but also reduce the possibility that sweat forms obvious water marks or sweat marks on the fabric surface when the fabric is worn, particularly when the fabric sweats, so that the elegant appearance and the visual comfort of a wearer are kept.

Background

With the development of economy, modern consumers increasingly pay attention to the improvement of personal life style and the improvement of life quality. Not only the health of the human body in terms of physiological and psychological aspects is pursued, but also the personal development and social acceptance are pursued in an effort. In the process, the harmony and the harmony between individuals, people and nature are realized. Therefore, consumers pay more and more attention to wearing comfort and clothes etiquette during wearing of the clothes during use. The traditional clothing design usually focuses on the decoration or beauty of the clothing, and meets the requirement that a user can meet the etiquette and rule of a certain community; recently developed functional garment designs focus on protection (function) for individual users and are less than desirable for aesthetic, especially etiquette, considerations.

For example, if a person sweats after a sport in the morning or during work, returns to work and does not have time to take a bath and change clothes, then he or she needs to attend some business activities. At the moment, if the fabric of the garment, whether the fabric is common all cotton fabric or fabric with moisture absorption, quick drying or moisture absorption and sweat releasing functions, usually sweat stains or watermarks appear on the front surface of the fabric after sweating, so that the elegance of the appearance of the garment is influenced, the garment is not suitable for formal business activities, and basic etiquette is lost. Therefore, people in modern life need a functional fabric garment which can meet different sport conditions and is suitable for various scenes. The sweat can be discharged from the bottom surface of the fabric when the fabric sweats in sports, the wearing comfort is kept, and meanwhile, the appearance is not influenced due to the fact that the watermark is formed on the outer surface of the fabric.

Through the search of patent libraries, the moisture absorption and quick drying or one-way moisture guide function of the fabric has been widely researched by a plurality of prior arts. For example, CN1985036A "woven fabric with moisture management properties" reports that a woven fabric is composed of a generally uniformly woven structure of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials, and has inner and outer exposed surfaces of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. Thereby realizing the one-way transmission of sweat from the cloth bottom to the cloth cover. Based on the basic principle that the difference in the surface energy of fabrics results in the unidirectional flow of liquid water, many new patent reports have emerged. CN207044828U one-way moisture-conducting fabric is formed by local water-repellent yarn formed by interweaving raw cotton yarn and hydrophilic yarn, and the number of the hydrophilic yarn of the surface layer gauze is larger than that of the raw cotton yarn of the inner layer gauze. Thereby realizing unidirectional moisture conduction without any chemical treatment process. For example, CN206033999U "unidirectional moisture-guiding, moisture-absorbing and heat-generating knitted fabric" combines different yarns in a matching manner, so that the fabric has a unidirectional moisture-guiding function, and also realizes the moisture-absorbing and heat-generating functions.

The prior art better solves the problem that sweat on the surface of the skin is discharged outwards to improve the heat and humidity comfort in the wearing process, but the outer surface of the functional fabric is easier to have water marks because more sweat arrives than the fabric without the function. Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of embarrassing sweat marks in the design of clothes, people sometimes turn the single-guide fabric from the bottom to the top and then turn the single-guide fabric to the bottom. So that sweat is not discharged and locked in the sweat as much as possible. Although the design method relieves the watermark problem of the appearance to a certain extent, the comfortable feeling of a wearer is reduced greatly because sweat cannot be discharged, and meanwhile, the watermark of the light and thin fabric at the bottom of the cloth can be observed on the cloth surface because the perspective degrees of the fabric are different.

In recent years, the research on functional fabrics without sweat stains (printing) has attracted attention in the industry. Patent reports of related keywords have been retrieved. For example, CN201610612603.6, a finishing process for preventing sweat stains on fabrics, selects a hydrophilic nonionic softener, and performs moisture absorption, sweat discharge and softening treatment on the fabrics, so that sweat can be absorbed and volatilized instantly, and the fabric has good air permeability and is comfortable to wear; the compound coating auxiliary agent is selected, a film coating with a plurality of breathable micro pores can be formed on the surface of the knitted fabric, each micro pore is smaller than sweat and larger than sweat molecules of a human body, and the sweat is diffused in a gaseous state, so that no trace is left when sweat is soaked on the surface of the fabric.

CN103161045A "sweat stain preventing finishing method of moisture absorbing and sweat releasing knitted fabric" reports a process flow: softening the knitted fabric → size mixing → processing the front face of the knitted fabric for preventing sweat stains → checking the sweat stains → baking. The knitted fabric is subjected to moisture absorption, sweat releasing and softening treatment, so that sweat can be absorbed and volatilized instantly; and then a film coating with a plurality of breathable micro pores is formed on the surface of the knitted fabric in a pigment printing mode, each micro pore is smaller than sweat and larger than sweat molecules of a human body, and the sweat is diffused in a gaseous state, so that no trace is left on the surface of the clothes when sweat is soaked, and the effect of preventing sweat stains is achieved. CN107447531A 'preparation process of sweat-proof T-shirt' relates to a preparation process of sweat-proof T-shirt, comprising the following steps: (1) the T-shirt is subjected to water absorption and quick drying treatment; (2) preparing a waterproof coating, wherein the waterproof coating consists of the following components in parts by weight: c6 waterproof agent TG-552150-60 parts, organosilicon waterproof agent 36-44 parts and isocyanate 4-6 parts; (3) processing sweat stain prevention on the front side of the T-shirt; (4) t-shirt post-treatment. The preparation process of the sweat-proof T-shirt preferably selects the compound waterproof coating, coats the surface of the T-shirt by using a coating machine, and can form a film coating with a plurality of breathable micro air holes on the surface of the T-shirt, so that sweat is distributed in a gaseous state, sweat stains on the surface of the T-shirt are not marked, the T-shirt can achieve the sweat-proof effect very uniformly on the basis of keeping the original elasticity of the T-shirt, and shadow penetration does not occur.

In combination with the above patent search and analysis, the basic principle on which the sweat-proof finishing is based at present is to perform moisture absorption and quick drying finishing on the fabric, and then further perform coating treatment on the outer surface of the fabric. The liquid absorbed by the fabric passes through the film in a gaseous state by evaporation. However, there is a case where: no matter how fast the fabric evaporates to dry, the fabric will have a process of wetting and then evaporating to dry. In the process, because the fabric contains liquid water, when the sight of people reaches the surface of the water-containing fabric, the reflection characteristic of the water-containing fabric is different from that of the water-free fabric due to the refraction of the water in the fabric to light, so that the visual effect of water stains is caused; and also causes a reduction in the user's wearing comfort if the liquid water is technically stopped at the cloth bottom.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above-mentioned situation, the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric theoretically has a wetting process on both the cloth surface and the cloth bottom, and the transmission characteristics of light in the fabric and/or on the surface are changed in a certain period of time due to the existence of liquid water in the fabric, particularly on the outer surface of the fabric. Because the optical characteristics of the fabric containing water, such as reflection, transmission, scattering or absorption, are significantly different from those of the same fabric containing no water, when the sight line reaches the surface of the fabric and then returns to the eyes through various methods such as reflection, scattering and the like of the surface of the fabric, the sight line is different from the visual effect of the part containing no water, and therefore the cognition of the water mark is formed in the brain of the people. The principle of the light reaching the fabric surface and seen by our eyes is shown in figure two.

Based on the above understanding of the mechanism of forming sweat stains (watermarks) in the fabric, the present inventors propose a new concept and implementation process to relieve the confusion of sweat stains to users during the wearing process and improve the wearing comfort of users. The basic principle of the present invention for textile design is to allow sweat to transfer from the bottom surface of the textile (the surface adjacent to the wearer's skin) to the intermediate layer of the textile as much as possible; storing and evaporating the intermediate layer; the penetration of the liquid of the intermediate layer into the outer surface is prevented as far as possible on the outside of the textile, so that the outer surface has an unwettable area within a certain thickness range. Meanwhile, the visual effect depends on the absorption and reflection characteristics of the fabric of the ambient light source to light waves, so that the light reflection and scattering opportunities are improved through the fabric structure design; or a visually non-transparent outer surface is formed by printing and other means to weaken the mirror reflection and perspective effect of the outer surface, thereby solving the problem of water stain/sweat stain caused by water on the surface of the fabric.

In order to keep the dry and comfortable feeling of the skin and reduce the possibility of forming water marks or sweat marks on the outer surface of the fabric when the fabric is worn, particularly when the fabric sweats, the invention discloses a design and preparation method of the fabric with different functions of specific front and back surfaces, thereby meeting the comfortable and dry wearing experience requirement of a wearer and keeping the elegant appearance of the wearer. The ability of resisting the external environment of a user can be improved to a certain degree, and the outer surface of the fabric is not easy to be wetted or stained and is easy to clean.

The present invention is specifically described. As shown in a figure I, the fabric is logically provided with at least three layers of structures in the thickness direction according to functional distinction, and the fabric is arranged from a fabric bottom to a fabric surface, (1) a water repellent water guide layer; (2) a hydrophilic water storage layer and (3) a visual interference layer. The middle layer (2) can be further decomposed into a hydrophilic water guiding and storing layer and (2.2) a hydrophilic water guiding quick drying layer (optional);

the layer (1) is a water-repellent water-conducting layer: its main function is to quickly absorb liquid away from the surface of the fabric when the fabric is in contact with sweat, so that the contact between the skin and the fabric is kept dry. The moisture absorption and quick drying technology, the one-way moisture conduction and perspiration technology and the like which are well known in the industry all contribute to the realization of the function. In the invention, based on the requirement of improving the comfortable experience of consumers, the water-repellent water-conducting layer is preferably formed by interweaving/finishing hydrophilic yarns and/or hydrophobic yarns, the coverage area of the hydrophobic yarns on the cloth bottom is more than 50%, preferably about 65-85%, and a certain proportion of hydrophilic yarns are reserved to form a water-conducting channel; another preferred technical scheme is that 100% of hydrophobic yarns are selected from the water-repellent and water-conducting layer to form a large-mesh structure, and the hollow area is 10% -80%, preferably 30%. Water can be absorbed by directly contacting the hydrophilic water guiding/storing layer through the gaps of the meshes. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic low-moisture-regain yarn can keep the contact between the skin and the fabric dry and comfortable.

In view of the requirement of yarns with different surface energies (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) mentioned in the above design, in the present invention, the hydrophobic yarn may be a hydrophilic yarn finished by hydrophobic function, or a yarn with hydrophobic property, such as polypropylene, may be directly selected. The hydrophilic yarn can be cotton yarn, polyester or nylon yarn with moisture absorption and quick drying characteristics, and can also be cellulose synthetic yarn.

Layer (2) is a hydrophilic water storage layer: the main function is to keep the liquid water transferred from the layer (1) in the place, and to evaporate quickly and effectively in the place to take away heat, to keep the air in the non-sweat state, and to provide a certain heat retention capacity under the condition of a lighter basis weight. The hydrophilic water guiding/storing layer is composed of 100% hydrophilic yarn, and the fabric structure can be a plain weave structure or a 3-dimensional space structure. The 3-dimensional space structure is preferably selected to be beneficial to increasing the thickness of the fabric, evaporating the effective area and the ventilation effect inside the fabric on the premise of not increasing the weight of the plain fabric so as to achieve the effects of quick drying and quick heat dissipation, so that the logic function layer is specially named as a hydrophilic water-guiding quick-drying layer (optional) in the invention. For fabric designs which are worn for a long time, a certain proportion of peculiar smell removing and/or antibacterial functions can be properly interwoven in the yarns used in the layer (2) so as to achieve peculiar smell generated in the long-time wearing process; the ratio of the yarn with peculiar smell removing and/or antibacterial functions to the hydrophilic thread can be 1: 1 to 1: 10, preferably 1: 5.

in order to further improve the quick drying effect of the fabric, the fibers of the layer (2) are preferably synthetic fibers with special-shaped cross sections, and the capillary effect is utilized to achieve quick diffusion and evaporation of liquid water.

Layer (3) is a visual interference layer: its main function is to prevent liquid water in the layer (2) from reaching the layer (3) and altering the optical properties of the layer (3) while maintaining good breathability of the fabric. Meanwhile, the water vapor generated by the evaporation of the liquid water in the layer (2) can smoothly leave the fabric, and the water stain in the layer (2) can be seen by using the visual perspective weakening of the fabric surface of the layer (3).

Layer (3) consists of 100% hydrophobic yarns. The outer surface of the visual interference layer can be plain woven or three-dimensional space structure to reduce mirror effect and further interfere the reflection of visual light. It is well known in the art that fabrics woven from hydrophobic yarns have hydrophobic characteristics and their ability to withstand water pressure is related to the tightness of the weave structure of the fabric. The outer surface of the visual interference layer can be further subjected to post-processing means such as printing, sanding, hair grabbing and the like to weaken the mirror reflection of light on the surface of the fabric, so that the aim of reducing or interfering sweat marks is fulfilled. Preferably, the fabric is a non-see-through fabric, i.e. the lower the transparency of the fabric, the better.

According to the principle and the technical requirements of the innovative design, the implementation method of the invention can be realized by independently weaving and finishing the three functional logic layers according to the design requirements and then attaching the layer of fabric; or the corresponding functional yarn can be selected and realized at one time by a weaving method.

Example two of the invention

In order to achieve the inventive function quickly, the method of afterfinish is also successfully applied in this example. The specific implementation steps are shown in fig. six and described as follows:

six typical non-sweat stain fabric after-finishing realization process flow

1. Selection of Dongguan super textile Co Ltd

TNJ54159FX2 (45% polybutylene terephthalate RB, 55% polyester SD; 85g/sq. m) is a grey cloth 1, and the cloth surface of the grey cloth is a cloth surface after composite lamination;

EJ8319FX2 (82% nylon SD, 18% spandex, unit weight 85g/sq.m) was a raw fabric 2 whose bottom would be the bottom after composite lamination.

2. According to the six flows of the figure, the gray fabric 1 and the gray fabric 2 both have better hydrophilicity after detection. The water drops are dripped on the surface of the cloth according to the AATCC 79 test standard, the disappearance time of the specular reflection of the water drops on the surface of the cloth is less than 2 seconds, and the water drops show better hydrophilicity. Therefore, the temperature of the molten metal is controlled,

1. in this example, the gray fabric 1 is subjected to a fluorine-free waterproof finish. There have been many prior reports on fluoride-free water-repellent finishing processes and techniques. In this example, the German Ruldorf BIONIC FINISH fluorine-free water repellent FINISH RUCO-DRYECO was selected. The auxiliary agent does not contain APEO polymer, and adopts a finishing mode of dipping, drying and baking.

2. Since the grey fabric 2 also exhibits a better hydrophilicity in this example, in order to achieve the idea of the invention: when the bottom surface of the fabric is in contact with the skin of a human body, the dry feeling is kept as much as possible in the sweating process, and sweat needs to be transferred into the middle layer (hydrophilic water storage layer) of the fabric. The surface energy difference between the material of the fabric bottom and the material of the fabric intermediate layer needs to be improved. The surface energy difference is combined with capillary effect to automatically transmit water from the cloth bottom to the middle of the cloth or the cloth surface. Therefore, the cloth bottom of the grey cloth 2 is finished in a water-repellent single-sided printing-drying-baking mode. Still selects the German Rudoffer BIONIC FINISH fluorine-free water repellent finishing agent RUCO-DRYECO. There have been many reports on the one-way wet-conducting finishing process of fabric, and the process is not repeated here. The detection method of the treated fabric is AATCC-195 standard.

3. And bonding the cloth surface of the grey cloth 1 which is the cloth surface of the new composite laminated cloth and the cloth bottom of the grey cloth 2 which is the cloth bottom of the composite laminated cloth. Lamination bonding is well established in the art and is used herein.

4. The fabric obtained in the process forms three layers with different characteristics in the thickness direction, and the three layers are from the bottom of the fabric to the surface of the fabric:

1. hydrophobic water-conducting layer: because the layer is finished by one-way moisture conduction, sweat can be transmitted to the cloth surface of the grey cloth 2, namely the middle of the new composite cloth when the sweat arrives;

2. a hydrophilic water storage layer: the cloth surface of the grey cloth 2 becomes a hydrophilic water storage layer here. When liquid water arrives there, it is further diffused and evaporated here due to its hydrophilic character;

3. visual interference layer: the grey cloth 1 is subjected to water repellent finishing, so that the liquid water is prevented from being continuously transmitted to the outer surface direction of the grey cloth 1, and the grey cloth 1 is not easy to be wetted. Therefore, the watermarking phenomenon of the fabric viewed from the cloth cover direction is obviously weakened.

4. In order to further reduce the watermark of the fabric appearance, the composite fabric obtained in the example one can be further subjected to napping finishing on the outer surface to further reduce the transparency of the fabric surface and reduce the watermark trace in the hydrophilic water storage layer by increasing the surface fluff.

5. In order to further reduce the watermark of the fabric appearance, the composite fabric obtained in the first example can be further subjected to printing treatment on the outer surface to achieve visual interference through patterns and colors;

6. in order to further reduce the watermark of the fabric appearance, the fabric described in the example I is further compounded with the waterproof breathable film between the grey fabric 1 and the grey fabric 2 during laminating and bonding, so that the visual effects of better preventing the liquid water from being transmitted to the appearance and reducing the watermark are achieved.

Example III of the invention

On the basis of the second invention example, the gray fabric 1 in the second invention example is continuously selected; the grey cloth 2 is made of all-cotton woven unidirectional moisture-conducting fabric self-made in a laboratory. The detailed manufacturing process refers to the patent "woven fabric with moisture management property" (CN200580001677.6) issued by the inventor.

Therefore, a hydrophobic water guide layer and a hydrophilic water storage layer are directly obtained on the grey cloth 2;

the blank 1 was processed following step 2(a) of example two;

and repeating the steps 3 and 4 of the second example to obtain the final product.

Example four of the invention

Please refer to the patent "nonwoven fabric and method for making the same" (CN201010251772.4) issued by the present inventor.

Therefore, a hydrophobic water guide layer and a hydrophilic water storage layer are directly obtained on the grey cloth 2;

the blank 1 was processed following step 2(a) of example two;

and repeating the steps 3 and 4 of the second example to obtain the final product.
