Description

  The present invention relates to a spun yarn having good water absorption, quick-drying, see-through property, and soft texture, and is particularly suitable for woven and knitted fabrics suitable for clothing applications such as inner shirts, pants and sports shirts. The present invention relates to a spun yarn that can be obtained and a woven or knitted fabric using the spun yarn.

  Conventionally, water-absorbing and quick-drying using polyester materials, soft texture, and see-through properties have been studied for apparel applications such as inner shirts, pants and sports shirts, and spun yarns and weaving using irregular cross-section polyester fibers Knitting has been proposed.

  For example, a spun yarn obtained by mixing 3 to 4 types of polyester-based irregularly-shaped short fibers with a mixing ratio of 15 to 20% by weight or more has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). However, in this proposal, since the spun yarn is composed only of synthetic fibers, there is a problem that it is not sufficient in terms of water absorption and soft texture.

  Further, a blended yarn comprising three or more protrusions as a cross-sectional shape and a deformed cross-section polyester short fiber having a deformity of 1.8 or more, a natural fiber, and a cellulosic fiber is proposed (see Patent Document 2). ). However, in this proposal, although a blended yarn composed of a modified cross-section polyester fiber, natural fiber, and cellulosic fiber is used, there is a problem that it is not sufficient in terms of water absorption and soft texture.

  In addition, a spun yarn that has a soft texture by using a blended yarn of multi-leaf cross-sectional or polygonal cross-section polyester fiber and cellulosic fiber, and further improves anti-scaling properties by blending with a high titanium-containing fiber. It has been proposed (see Patent Document 3). However, similarly to the proposal of Patent Document 2, this proposal is not necessarily sufficient in terms of water absorption and soft texture, and there is a problem that the anti-scaling property is not sufficient.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to have a soft texture while using polyester fibers that could not be achieved by the above-mentioned prior art, and also to have high water absorption, quick drying and The object is to provide a spun yarn having an anti-scaling function.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a woven or knitted fabric that is particularly suitable for clothing applications such as inner shirts, pants, sports shirts, white robes, sweaters, and national costumes.

  The present inventors paid attention to the gap between the fibers. In Patent Document 2 of the prior art document, it was inferred that the modified cross-section polyester fiber used may not be sufficient in terms of water absorption and soft texture because there are few voids formed between single yarns. The same applies to Patent Document 3 of the prior art document, and it was considered that the irregular reflection of light due to the fiber surface shape was not sufficient in terms of anti-scaling properties. In addition, the water absorption was not only unilaterally high, but it was presumed that compatibility with quick drying was important.

  And in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have used a specific flat multi-leaf cross-sectional polyester fiber and a cellulosic fiber in combination to realize a soft texture and to make a spun yarn or a woven or knitted fabric. It has been found that it has high water absorption and quick drying properties, and has high anti-scaling properties even without being blended with high-titanium-containing yarn.

That is, the spun yarn of the present invention is a spun yarn obtained by blending 20 to 80% by mass of flat multi-leaf cross-sectional polyester fiber and 20 to 80% by mass of cellulosic fiber. The cross-sectional shape is a flat shape having six or more convex portions, the maximum length of the cross-section of the flat multi-leaf cross-section polyester fiber is A, and the maximum width of the cross-section of the flat multi-leaf cross-section polyester fiber is B, where C is the length of the line connecting the vertices of adjacent convex portions in the maximum uneven portion, and D is the recommended length lowered from the line connecting the vertices of the convex portions to the bottom point of the concave portion. The spun yarn satisfies the flatness defined by the equation (1) and the irregularity defined by the following equation (2).
Flatness (A / B) = 2.0 to 3.0 (1)
・ Deformation degree (C / D) = 1.0 to 5.0 (2)
According to a preferred aspect of the spun yarn of the present invention, the degree of irregularity is 2.0 to 5.0.

According to a preferred aspect of the spun yarn of the present invention, the maximum length A is the axis of symmetry, and the longest length excluding the transverse cross-section maximum width B among the opposing line segments between the convex portions is defined as E. When satisfying, it is to satisfy the convex portion ratio defined by the following formula (3).
Convex part ratio (E / B) = 0.6 to 0.9 (3)
According to a preferred aspect of the spun yarn of the present invention, the single fiber fineness of the flat multileaf polyester fiber is 2.0 dtex or less.

  According to a preferred aspect of the spun yarn of the present invention, the flat multilobal cross-sectional polyester fiber contains inorganic particles, and the content thereof is 0.2 to 2.5% by mass.

  The spun yarn of the present invention is suitably used for apparel applications, for example, knitted fabrics for inner shirts and sports shirts.

According to the present invention, it is possible to have a large and small gap between fibers by having a flat shape and having irregularities on the outer periphery, and further making the unevenness height of the outer periphery uniform. Further, a spun yarn having both quick-drying performance and soft texture and a knitted or knitted fabric using the spun yarn can be obtained. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a spun yarn and a woven or knitted fabric having a high anti-scaling function can be obtained.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view for illustrating the cross-sectional shape of a flat multi-leaf cross-sectional polyester fiber provided in the spun yarn of the present invention having a plurality of (eight) convex portions on the circumference of the fiber cross section.

  Next, the spun yarn of the present invention will be described in detail.

  The spun yarn of the present invention is a spun yarn obtained by blending 20 to 80% by mass of flat multi-leaf cross-sectional polyester fiber and 20 to 80% by mass of cellulose fiber.

  The cellulosic fiber used in the present invention is at least one cellulose type among natural fibers such as hemp, cotton and silk, regenerated fibers such as viscose rayon, cupra and solvent-spun cellulose, and semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate. Selected from fibers. Among these, regenerated fibers such as viscose rayon and solvent-spun cellulose are preferably used from the viewpoints of handleability, versatility and functionality.

  The cellulosic fibers used in the present invention preferably have a flat shape in which any cross-sectional shape has irregularities on the circumference. By having irregularities on the circumference, the water absorption is high, and the liquid is uniformly diffused by capillary action, so that there is an effect that it has a quick drying property and it is easy to maintain a dry feeling and a refreshing feeling.

  The number of convex portions on the circumference is preferably 6 to 14, more preferably 8 to 12. If the number of convex portions present on the circumference of the cross-sectional shape is less than 6, the number of voids is reduced, water absorption, liquid retention and diffusibility are poor, and the diffuse reflectance of light is reduced, thereby preventing Scaling is also reduced. Furthermore, the touching point when touching the skin is reduced, resulting in a rough texture. Moreover, when the number of convex parts exceeds 14, the cellulose fiber has lower rigidity than the polyester fiber, and is easily worn, resulting in a decrease in yarn strength. Furthermore, the water absorption becomes too high and the impregnated liquid is retained in the fiber, so that the liquid cannot be quickly evaporated and the quick drying property is poor. Moreover, it is preferable that the shape of a convex part is a rounded shape from a viewpoint of the touch property.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the single fiber fineness of a cellulosic fiber is 1.0-5.0 dtex. The single fiber fineness is more preferably 1.2 to 2.2 dtex. When the single fiber fineness is less than 1.0 dtex, it tends to be easily wound around the card cylinder, and the process passability may be significantly lowered. As a result, there is a tendency that defects of the spun yarn are likely to occur. On the other hand, when the single fiber fineness exceeds 5.0 dtex, the texture when touching human skin is hard, and the tendency to be unfavorable in terms of soft texture is exhibited. Moreover, since the space | gap between fibers becomes large too much because the single fiber fineness becomes thick, there exists a tendency for water absorption to fall remarkably.

  The fiber length of the cellulosic fibers is preferably 30 to 64 mm from the viewpoint of high confounding property with other constituent fibers such as polyester fibers to be blended and improving card cardability. . The fiber length is more preferably 35 to 51 mm. Examples of commercially available cellulose fibers include rayon (trade name “Corona”) manufactured by Daiwabo Rayon.

  In the spun yarn of the present invention, the cellulosic fiber content is 20 to 80% by mass. When the mixing ratio (content ratio) of the cellulosic fibers is less than 20% by mass, the water absorbability impregnated with the liquid becomes weak, so that the diffusibility is lowered, and the dry feeling and the cool feeling are lowered in the spun yarn of the present invention. Further, in the spun yarn of the present invention, the soft texture peculiar to cellulosic fibers is also impaired, so that the touch between the two becomes inferior. On the other hand, when the mixing ratio of the cellulosic fibers exceeds 80% by mass, the water absorption becomes too strong, the impregnated liquid is retained in the fibers, and the liquid cannot be quickly evaporated. That is, the quick drying property is poor.

  The polyester constituting the polyester fiber used in the present invention is a polymer produced by a condensation reaction of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol or butylene glycol, and sebacic acid, adipic acid, trimellitic acid, It means a condensate of isophthalic acid, para-benzoic acid and the like with ethylene glycol, and a polyester polymer containing other polyesters.

  The flat multilobal polyester fiber used in the present invention is a flat polyester fiber having a cross section having six or more convex portions. When the number of convex portions present on the circumference of the cross-sectional shape is less than 6, the gaps formed between adjacent fibers are reduced, water absorption, liquid retention and diffusibility are poor, and light is irregularly reflected. The rate decreases and the anti-scaling property also decreases. When the number of protrusions exceeds 12, due to the characteristics of the polyester fiber manufacturing method, the degree of irregularity is extremely reduced, and the gaps formed between adjacent fibers are reduced. Poor liquid retention and diffusibility. When the cross-sectional shape is a flat shape, voids can be formed between the fibers, and water absorption, liquid retention and diffusibility are improved. In addition, the diffuse reflectance of light is increased and the anti-scaling property is improved. Furthermore, since the hair fallability per single fiber is improved, a soft texture can be obtained.

  In FIG. 1, an example of the single fiber cross-sectional shape of the flat multi-leaf cross-section polyester fiber used by this invention is shown. In FIG. 1, the cross-sectional shape of the flat multileaf cross-section polyester fiber with which the spun yarn of this invention which has several (eight) convex part on the circumference of a fiber cross section is illustrated.

  In FIG. 1, A is the maximum length of the cross section of the above-mentioned flat multilobal cross section polyester fiber. B is the maximum width of the cross section of the flat multilobal polyester fiber, and the length of the maximum width line segment connecting the vertices of the convex portions perpendicular to the maximum length A. C represents the length of a line connecting the vertices of adjacent convex portions in the maximum uneven portion. D indicates the length of a perpendicular line extending from the line connecting the apexes of adjacent convex portions to the bottom point of the concave portion in the maximum uneven portion. E denotes the maximum length excluding the maximum width B among the opposing line-to-vertex line segments with the maximum length A as the axis of symmetry.

  In the present invention, in the cross-sectional shape, a flat polyester fiber having 6 or more convex portions is used, but preferably 7 to 13, more preferably 8 to 12. Moreover, it is preferable that the shape of a convex part is a rounded shape from a viewpoint of the touch property.

The flat multilobal cross-sectional polyester fiber used in the present invention has a flat multilobal cross-sectional shape in a single fiber cross section, a flatness defined by the following formula (1) and an irregularity defined by the following formula (2). It is important to satisfy Furthermore, it is a preferable aspect to satisfy the convex portion ratio defined by the following formula (3).
Flatness (A / B) = 2.0 to 3.0 (1)
・ Deformation degree (C / D) = 1.0 to 5.0 (2)
Convex part ratio (E / B) = 0.6 to 0.9 (3)
In the spun yarn of the present invention, the flatness (A / B) is 2.0 to 3.0. If the degree of flatness (A / B) is less than 2.0, the fiber fallability deteriorates and a soft texture cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the flatness (A / B) exceeds 3.0, the harshness is small and it becomes easy to sag, and the yarn-making property and the deformity are deteriorated. The flatness (A / B) is more preferably 2.0 to 2.7, and still more preferably 2.0 to 2.5.

  In addition, the degree of irregularity (C / D) represents the size of the concave portion between the convex portions in the flat multilobal shape. When the value is large, the concave portion is small and the value is small. Means that the recess is large. When the degree of profile (C / D) increases, the recesses become shallower and the gaps formed between the fibers also become smaller, so the water absorption and diffusibility tend to decrease. Furthermore, the diffuse reflectance of light also decreases, and the anti-scaling property tends to decrease. Therefore, the degree of profile (C / D) is 5.0 or less.

  On the other hand, when the degree of irregularity (C / D) is too small, the concave portion of the fiber cross section is easily bent, and the flat shape cannot be maintained. The skin may be damaged. Therefore, the degree of irregularity (C / D) is 1.0 or more. The degree of profile (C / D) is 1.0 to 5.0 from the above viewpoint. Further, the degree of irregularity (C / D) is more preferably 1.0 to 4.0 from the viewpoint of water absorption and diffusibility, and 2 from the viewpoint of the flat shape retention, water absorption and diffusivity balance. 0.0 to 4.0 is a more preferable embodiment.

  Further, the convex portion ratio (E / B) indicates the length ratio between the maximum width A and the maximum convex portion apex length E excluding the maximum length A in the flat multilobal shape. This has a meaning as an index for measuring the degree of distortion of a substantially elliptical shape obtained when a line connecting the vertices of the convex portions having the maximum widths B and E and the maximum length A is drawn. When the convex portion ratio is too small, the depth of the concave portion is reduced, and the cross-sectional shape thereof is infinitely approximate to a flat cross shape. Therefore, the capillary effect is reduced, and the water absorption and diffusibility are reduced. Moreover, when it touches skin, since it becomes close to a flat cross shape, the number of convex parts which contact is reduced and a feeling of touch and softness fall. Therefore, the convex portion ratio is preferably 0.6 or more. On the other hand, when the convex portion ratio is too large, when the concave and convex portions of the fibers are fitted, the portion where the concave portion is completely blocked increases, so that the voids are reduced and the water absorption and diffusibility are lowered. . Moreover, when the skin is touched, the shape becomes a shape close to a flat hexagon, so that the number of convex portions to be contacted is reduced, and the feel and softness are lowered. For these reasons, the convex portion ratio (E / B) is preferably 0.9 or less. The convex portion ratio (E / B) is preferably 0.6 to 0.9 from the viewpoint described above. Furthermore, from the balance, the convex portion ratio (E / B) is preferably 0.6 to 0.8, and more preferably 0.7 to 0.8.

  The content rate in the spun yarn of the flat multilobal polyester fiber used in the present invention is 20 to 80% by mass. When the mixing ratio (content ratio) of the flat multi-leaf cross-sectional polyester fiber is less than 20% by mass, the hydrophobicity of the spun yarn decreases, so the absorbed moisture tends to hardly evaporate, the quick drying property is poor, and the feeling of touch is also good. Deteriorate. Moreover, when the mixing ratio (content ratio) of the flat multilobal polyester fiber exceeds 80% by mass, the capillary effect is weakened and the diffusibility of the liquid is reduced, resulting in a dry feeling when touching the skin, The feeling is impaired. From the above, as a preferable balance, the content of the flat multileaf polyester fiber in the spun yarn is 30 to 70% by mass, and more preferably 40 to 60% by mass.

  The single fiber fineness of the flat multilobal polyester fiber used in the present invention is preferably 2.0 dtex or less. The single fiber fineness is more preferably 1.0 to 2.0 dtex, still more preferably 1.2 to 1.8 dtex. When the single fiber fineness exceeds 2.0 dtex, the rigidity specific to the polyester fiber becomes strong, and the stimulation of the feeling of touch becomes strong, and the soft texture may be impaired. Furthermore, since the gap formed between the fibers becomes too large, the capillary effect is weakened, and the liquid diffusibility is lowered, so that the dry feeling and the cool feeling when touching the skin tend to be impaired. On the other hand, when the single fiber fineness is smaller than 1.0 dtex, the process passability in the card process is deteriorated and the productivity tends to be lowered.

  The flat multilobal polyester fiber used in the present invention can contain inorganic particles for the purpose of improving the anti-scaling property and softness.

  The content of the inorganic particles is preferably 0.2 to 2.5% by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 2.2% by mass, and still more preferably 0.3 to 2.0% by mass. is there. When the content of the inorganic particles is less than 0.2% by mass, the friction with the cellulosic fibers increases, the soft texture tends to be impaired, the light irregular reflection becomes insufficient, and the anti-scaling performance decreases. Tend. In addition, when the content of the inorganic particles exceeds 2.5% by mass, the spinning process passability tends to decrease and guide wear tends to occur. Tends to decrease. Further, since the matte effect acts strongly, there is a tendency to lose colorability due to inferior whiteness.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the fiber length of a flat multilobal cross-section polyester fiber is 30-64 mm from a viewpoint of the process passability in spinning, More preferably, it is 35-51 mm.

  Next, the spun yarn of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof will be described.

  The twist coefficient of the spun yarn of the present invention is preferably in the range of 3.0 to 4.5. When the twist coefficient is less than 3.0, there is a tendency that sufficient yarn strength cannot be obtained, and there is a tendency that the yarn is broken during spinning or the strength is lowered when the knitted fabric is formed. Moreover, when the twist coefficient exceeds 4.5, there is a tendency that twist due to twist return occurs, and there is a tendency that there is a feeling of coarseness when a woven or knitted fabric is formed.

  The spun yarn of the present invention can be produced by a normal spinning method using flat multi-leaf polyester fiber and cellulosic fiber, using a ring spinning machine (including bundling / vortex flow system), an air spinning machine, etc. Can be manufactured.

  In addition, the blending method can also be blended with two types of blended fibers of flat multi-leaf cross-section polyester fiber and cellulosic fiber, or with other fibers within the blending rate range of the present invention. The yarn count of the spun yarn is preferably 30 to 53, and more preferably 40 when the inner yarn or shirt material is used.

  The woven or knitted fabric made of the spun yarn of the present invention may be a woven or knitted fabric using 100% of the spun yarn of the present invention, but it is a preferred embodiment that the spun yarn of the present invention is contained at least 40% by mass. . If the ratio of the spun yarn of the present invention is less than 40% by mass, the water absorption effect by the combination of the flat multi-section polyester fiber and the cellulose fiber of the present invention tends to be difficult to obtain. In the woven or knitted fabric of the present invention, the spun yarn of the present invention is used in a range of less than 60% by mass, and in addition to the spun yarn of the present invention, other spun yarns and filaments can be knitted and knitted. .

The spun yarn of the present invention and the woven or knitted fabric comprising the same are suitable for inner shirts, pants, sports shirts, lab coats, sweaters, folk costumes and the like because they have water absorbency, quick drying properties, anti-scaling properties, and soft texture. Can be used.
