TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of knitted dress fabric, and more particularly
to a moisture-absorbing heat-generating quick-drying moisture-retaining thermal fabric
and manufacturing method thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In recent years, the development trend of knitting industrial in our county focuses
on an - application of new material fiber, a promotion of new spinning technology,
an application of energy saving and environmental protection dyeing technology and
an integration of industrial technology and information technology, etc.. As for the
development trends, there are great development and progress from hardware to software
for each knitting enterprise, such as new technology, new process, new device, new
environmental protection dyeing accessories, new controlling means and the application
of new quality standard.
[0003] With the gradually improvement on life standards, a high requirement on the comprehensive
thermal-moisture conformability of knitted garment is put forward. Since a standard
"moisture-absorbing thermal knitted underwear" issued by Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology in December, 2010, most of knitted fabrics whose moisture-absorbing
heat value meet the standard is knitted by blended yarn which mainly consisted of
the moisture-absorbing thermal fiber EKS raw material produced by Japan Toyobo co.,
ltd. As most of the blended fibers are polyacrylonitrile raw materials, the pilling
property is poor and the appearance of the garment fabric will be affected by long-time
dressing. It is extremely urgent to develop a new moisture-absorbing thermal fabric
with the existing natural raw material, regenerated cellulose fibers and mature new
chemical fibers to break technical barriers of the Japan's raw material. At present,
the knitted dress fabric mainly adopts the cellulose fibers, the protein fiber, the
regenerated cellulose fiber and a mixture thereof, such as cotton, modal, rayon, wool
cashmere, mulberry silk and linen. It has a function of natural moisture-absorbing,
antibacterial, warm-keeping and skin protection. With the help of the introduction
of spandex elastomeric yarns, the knitted dress has a better body fitting and a function
of free stretching. However, these fabrics have the following defects. The wet permeability
and moisture liberation are poor. After a long-time wearing, sweat will adsorbed on
the fabrics and a lot of sweat can not be output timely. When the body motion is reduced
or static, the sweat stick to the body will make the person feel clammy and the conformability
is poor. Furthermore, evaporation rate and the amount of water vapor permeability
are two characteristic indexes for the quick-drying performance of the fabric. They
represent the evaporation rate and the amount of water vapor permeability of the whole
fabric. The differences between the quick-drying performance of the inner layer of
the fabric and that of the outer layer of the fabric can not be represented. In fact,
a lot of moisture-absorbing quick-drying products have been developed by the developer
for the knitted fabrics. The sweat permeates from the inner layer of the fabric to
the outer layer of the fabric rapidly. As the sweat transfers from the inner layer
to the outer layer rapidly with such method, the skin is dry and comfortable. However,
since the development of these fabrics is limited by the development of sports knitted
fabrics, the idea is rarely applied to the development of the knitted underwear fabric.
In addition, in order to meet the requirement that the heat preservation rate of the
thermal knitted fabric underwear is no less than 30%, most of the thermal knitted
underwear is made by a weaving process which adopts air layer silk. Thus, the elasticity
of the fabric is poor and the pilling of polyester fiber low stretch yarn will come
out, so that the appearance and the performance of the underwear will be greatly affected.
Except for the poor elasticity and the pilling, the moisture/gas permeability is very
poor, and thus a strong muggy feeling and a clammy feeling will arise when dressing.

[0016] The moisture-absorbing thermal, moisture-absorbing quick-drying, moisture and thermal
principles of the fabric are as follows.
[0017] The moisture-absorbing and heat-generating principle is as follows. The components
of the moisture-absorbing heat-generating fabric have a better hydrophily or a strong
wicking and moisture transferring function. The materials of this invention mainly
are the regenerated cellulose fiber enriched with a lot of hydrophilic groups and
the cotton fiber, so that the fabric has a better moisture absorption performance.
When the specific surface area and the specific surface energy of the modified polyester
fiber yarn having a non-circular cross section, such as the cross-type cross section,
the Y-type cross section or the ∞-type cross section, are larger than that of a common
polyester fiber yarn having a circular cross section, it has a strong wicking and
wet permeability function, so that the water absorption rate of the fabric meets the
requirements of the national standards or exceeds it. However, if only the water absorption
rate of the fabric meets the requirements, the fabric can not be called as the moisture-absorbing
and thermal fabric. When weaving, the first yarn whose main component is the regenerated
cellulose fiber is placed on the outer layer of the fabric and the third yarn whose
main component is the cotton fiber is placed on the inner layer of the fabric, so
that water molecules in the fabric will transfer from inside to outside due to the
different hygroscopicities after the moisture absorption. The water molecules continuously
transfer and acutely move in the fabric, and thus the integral heat and the differential
heat will be produced and the kinetic energy will convert to heat energy, thereby
generating heat. Finally, the fabric must have an enough height to prevent from the
heat loss or have much hollowness and still air. In this invention, the outer layer
of the fabric is formed by the first yarn and the fourth yarn via a full-needle single
knitting method. The outer layer fabric is compact, so that it can effectively prevent
from the heat loss. The main components of the inner layer of the fabric are formed
by the single knitting in which half of stitches of the third yarn are used at regular
intervals without the polyurethane fiber yarn of the fourth yarn, so that the fabric
is sparse. In addition, a lot of micro gaps are caused by the raising and pilling
in the following process and more still air exists in the fabric, so that the heat
converted by the moisture-absorbing water molecular motion is not easy to be lost
and the highest heating value and the average heating value of the moisture-absorbing
can meet the requirements of the national standard.
[0018] The moisture-absorbing and quick-drying principle is as follows. The characteristics
of the moisture-absorbing defined by the national standard are shown in the following
three indexes, namely the water absorption rate, the dripping water diffusion time
and the wicking height. The characteristics of the quick-drying are shown in the following
two indexes, namely the evaporation rate and the mositure permeability. However, the
above five indexes have a certain limitation on the quick-absorbing and quick-drying
characteristic, so that they can only represent the moisture-absorbing and quick-drying
performance of the whole fabric rather than the differences in the moisture-absorbing
and quick-drying performance of the inner and outer layer of the fabric. The conventional
moisture regains of the inner layer of the fabric is different from that of the outer
layer of the fabric. The material of the inner layer is also hydrophilic and the weighted
average conventional moisture regains is relatively low. The material of the outer
layer is hydrophilic and the weighted average conventional moisture regains is far
higher than that of the material of the inner layer. The quick-drying of the inner
layer not only passes through the natural evaporation quick-drying channel of the
surface layer, but also passes through the strong moisture absorption channel of the
material of the outer layer, and thus the moisture absorbed by the inner layer is
transferred to the outer layer quickly and diffuses rapidly via a middle wicking and
moisture transferring layer, so that the quick-drying performance of the inner layer
is superior to that of the outer layer.
[0019] Moisturizing principle is as follows. The middle layer of the fabric is weaved by
the second yarn which is the modified polyester fiber yarn having a non-circular cross
section and the fourth yarn which is polyurethane fiber yarn. As the modified polyester
fiber yarn having the non-circular section has a larger specific surface area, it
has a stronger wicking and moisture transferring function. The wicking and moisture
transferring function is bidirectional, which not only can exhaust the moisture from
the inner layer of the fabric to the outer layer thereof, but also can exhaust the
moisture from the outer layer of the fabric to the inner layer thereof. The weighted
average conventional moisture regains of the material of the outer layer of the fabric
is large and the material contains a lot of hydrophilic groups, so that it has a strong
function of capturing the water molecules in the air. When a certain amount of water
molecules exist in the air, the outer layer of the fabric will adsorb a lot of water
molecules and the water molecules can further be transferred to the inner layer via
the middle layer of the fabric so as to keep a balance of the moisture absorption
and get the goal of moisture-retaining and anti-aging. When perspiring, the sweat
will transfer to the outer layer of the fabric rapidly. Due to the hydrophilic groups
in the outer layer of the fabric, the evaporation rate of the moisture is relatively
low and the sufficient moisture in the outer layer creates a condition for the moisturization
of the inner layer. When the skin becomes dry, the outer layer will capture the moisture
from the air or from non-evaporation and non-volatilization moisture before the moisture
absorption and moisture storage, and the bidirectional moisture transferring function
of the middle layer of the fabric will help to transfer the moisture to the inner
layer of the fabric to keep a balance of the moisture absorption, thereby retaining
moisture.
[0020] Thermal principle is as follows. The hollow design of the fabric is not obvious to
the improvement on the warmth retention of the fabric having the polyurethane fiber.
However, the fleece design of the inner layer of the fabric very notably improves
the warmth retention. After the fleece, a lot of micro gaps will are brought in the
inner layer of the fabric, a lot of still airs exist in the fabric and the polyurethane
fiber yarn of the outer layer of the fabric is introduced, the outer layer is relatively
compact, so that it can effectively prevent the air from flowing between the human
body and the outer layer of the fabric, thereby greatly improving the warmth retention
of the fabric via the possessing capacity of the still airs. In this invention, a
lot of micro gaps are brought in the fabric after the fleece of the inner layer and
a lot of still airs exist in the micro gaps. Moreover, the first yarn and the fourth
yarn are weaved by a method of full-needle knitting. As the polyurethane fiber yarn
of the fourth yarn has a good elasticity and shrinkage performance, the outer layer
of the fabric is relatively compact due to the introduction of the full-needle and
the fourth yarn and it can prevent the loss of the energy, the fabric can keep warm.
In order to obtain the function of this invention, the design of the knitting process
diagram is based on the following principles. Firstly, the moisture-absorbing and
quick-drying performance of each component is made full use to the greatest extent,
especially the performance of the moisture discharging from the inner layer to the
outer layer. The polyurethane fiber yarn is not added to the third yarn of this invention.
The single knitting in which half of the purl stitches or the knit stitches are used
at regular intervals to make the structure of the fabric sparser after the fleece
and facilitate the moisture-permeating and quick-drying of the inner layer. The outer
layer of the fabric adopts the knitting in which all the knit stitches or the purl
stitches of the first yarn and the fourth yarn are used, so that the fabric is compact,
which facilitates the quick outside transferring and gathering of the moisture gas
in the inner layer. Secondly, under the condition that without affecting the hydrophilic
performance of each component, the ratio of each component are changed to optimize
the textile process, reduce the weighted average moisture regain of the inner layer
of the fabric to the greatest extent, increase the weighted average moisture regain
of each component in the outer layer of the fabric. In this invention, half of the
knit stitches and or the purl stitches of the second yarn and the fourth yarn are
used at regular intervals to form the looping knitting. Half of the corresponding
purl stitches or knit stitches are used at regular intervals to form the tucking knitting.
The above knitting joins the design of the inner layer and the middle layer of the
fabric rather than the design of the outer layer of the fabric, so that it can effectively
reduce the weighted average official moisture regain of each component of the outer
layer and is convenient to the moisture permeating, the moisture transporting and
quick drying since the official moisture regain of the modified polyester fiber low
stretch yarn is low. Thirdly, it must facilitate the fleece and napping of the inner
layer and ensure that the root portion of the fleece will not fall off. This invention
adjusts the design by each yarn feeding way and applies the coil index theory in the
field of textile engineering, so that the napping and the loop forming coil of the
third yarn becomes longer and longer and protrudes on the surface of the fabric, thereby
facilitating the fleece and the napping and locking the napping. The second yarn and
the fourth yarn loop forming coil of the third yarn coil root which joins the inner
layer becomes smaller and caves in to avoid the linting. The third yarn can be fixed
in the single knitting in which half of the needles are used and the single knitting
in which half of two kinds of knitting needles are used at regular intervals. In each
way, the first yarn and the fourth yarn form the single knitting in which all the
needles are used and the third yarn forms the single knitting in which half of the
needles are used. They correspond to the looping knitting in which half stitches of
the second yarn and the fourth yarn are used at regular intervals and the tucking
knitting of the double knitting in which the inner layer and the outer layer are connected.
In the inner layer and the outer layer, half of the knitting needles of other disk
are used at regular intervals to form the tucking knitting. The knitting needles of
the double knitting which participates in the looping kintting are same with the knitting
needle of the half needle single knitting of the third yarn, so that the coil formed
by the looping knitting of the double knitting locks the root of the coil formed by
the third yarn firmly, thereby creating a condition for the fleece of the subsequent
process. Fourthly, the fabric is comfortable and has elasticity. To make the fabric
has a comfortable elasticity, the design for the structure of the fabric must meets
the following requirements. The polyurethane fiber yarn is not introduced into the
yarn-feeding way of the third yarn except for the fleece and the napping. The polyurethane
fiber yarn is introduced or guided to other yarn feeding way. The polyurethane fiber
yarn has a good tensile performance and restorability. The polyurethane fiber yarn
is not introduced in the yarn feeding way of the third yarn which has been conduct
with the napping and the fleece to facilitate the napping in the subsequent process,
so that it can ensure that the fabric has enough elasticity and the fleece and the
napping of the inner layer will not be affected.
[0021] At the same time, in the preparation method, after the dyeing liquor containing the
disperse dye and the auxiliary agent are used to dye the modified polyester fiber,
the reductive cleaning process is conducted after the middle and dark color are dyed.
The main object is removing the dye floating color adhere to the modified polyester
fiber after the high-temperature sublimation and the floating color of other disperse
dye adhere to other materials, so that it can improve the colorfastness of the whole
fabric. After the reductive cleaning, the thermal washing and the cool washing are
conducted to prepare for the dyeing of the regenerated cellulose fibre, the cotton
fiber and other fibers. The reactive dye or other dye and the auxiliary agent are
adopted to dye the regenerated cellulose fiber, the cotton fiber and other fiber according
to the components of the fabric blanks which have not been dyed and the dye process
curve. After the dyeing, the cool washing and the acid washing are conducted. The
cool water is added slowly to the vat to reduce the temperature. At the same time,
the water is released. After the releasing of the water, the acid washing is conducted
under the normal temperature according to the water level required by the liquor ratio.
The object is mainly neutralizing the residual alkali on the cloth. After the acid
washing, the soaping agent is used to soap to remove all the dye floating color to
the greatest extent until the dye floating color are cleaned. Then, the cool water
is added slowly. After the water is released completely, a cylinder of water is added
for cool washing. After the cool washing, a cylinder of water is added according to
the required liquor ratio. The hydrophilic softener and the hydrophilic soft olein
are added to the cleaned fabric semi-finished products by soaping and cool washing
the floating color. The cleaned fabric semi-finished products are kept in the vat.
The hydrophilic softener and the hydrophilic soft olein are added to the vat. The
fabric semi-finished products are soaked circularly under the normal temperature.
Before adding the hydrophilic softener and the hydrophilic soft olein, the weak acid
is used to acid wash the fabric semi-finished products for 10~20min. As the hydrophilic
softener and the hydrophilic soft olein will have a better effect under the weak acidity,
the PH value of the dye liquor is adjusted to 4.5~6 and the dye liquor exhibits the
weak acidity. The adding of the hydrophilic softener aims at the hydrophilic soft
finishing of the modified polyester yarn having a non-circular section or the polyester
staple fiber. The adding of the hydrophilic soft olein aims at the hydrophilic soft
finishing of the cotton fiber in the third yarn and the first yarn or the linen, the
wool or the cashmere and the regenerated cellulose fiber. The surface of the cloth
being treated with the hydrophilic soften has a soft feel, a good hydrophilic effect
and the fluffy cotton fiber to facilitate the napping and the fleece of the subsequent
process. A tensile shrinkage drying machine is used to dry the fabric semi-finished
products which have been conducted with hydrophilic treatment. The raising machine
is used to nap the dried fabric semi-finished product. After the napping, the fabric
has a uniform delicate touch. The napping process directly relates to the quality
of the fabric and the achievement of the heat preservation rate of the fabric. Finally,
the repeated setting is conduct to the fabric semi-finished product which has been
napped. The temperature of the repeated setting is no more than 160° C to avoid forming
the floating color caused by the sublimation and dissociation of the disperse dye
molecules on the polyester fiber which will reduce the dye colorfastness of the fabric.

yarn J40S lenzing modal/cotton 50/50 blended yarn made by the cotton fiber and the
regenerated cellulose fiber. The weight percentage of the regenerated cellulose fiber
accounts for 50%. The second yarn is the modified polyester fiber yarn COOLDRY75D/72F
having a cross-shaped cross section produced by Shanghai Haitianying textile technology
Co., Ltd. The third yarn is 20S pure cotton high proportion distributed carded yarn.
The fourth yarn is 30D polyurethane fibre yarn produced by Hangzhou Asahikasei Spandex
Co., Ltd.
[0025] A preparation method of the moisture-absorbing heat-generating quick-drying moisture-retaining
thermal fabric comprises the following steps:
- 1) Choosing the above four yarn materials based on a designed fabric, and preparing
the required number of material tubing head of the above four materials based on the
type of the machine;
- 2) placing the material on the weaving machine, and reserving a slitting line for
a scotching and setting of the following process to obtain a fabric blank when weaving.
The weaving is conducted according to the knitting process diagram shown in FIG.1.
The knitting needles are arranged according to FIG.2. A triangle arrangement of the
knitting needles is arranged according to FIG.3. ①②③④⑤⑥ in FIG.1 and FIG.3 are numbers
of yarn feeding ways. There are six way knitting shown in FIG. 1. The label 1, 2 in
an upper row and a lower row of FIG.2 respectively represent No. 1 needle and No.2
needle according to the heights of the butt of the knitting needles. An arrangement
of upper dial knitting needles is applied to the upper row. An arrangement of lower
cylinder knitting needles is applied to the lower row. A triangle arrangement of the
upper dial knitting needles are applied to the upper row table in FIG.3. A triangle
arrangement of the lower cylinder knitting needles is applied to the lower row table
in FIG.3. In the figure, "∧" and "∨" are a stitch cam. "

" is tucking cam. "-" is floating cam;
The weaving is conducted according to FIGS.1-3. A complete organization is finished
by six way knitting. The first way is in the form of the double knitting in which
half of knit stitches of No.1 needle are used to form the looping knitting and half
of purl stitches of No.2 needle are used to form the tucking knitting. The second
way is in the form of the single knitting in which half knit stitches of No.1 needle
are used to form the looping knitting. The third way is in the form of the single
knitting in which all the purl stitches are applied. The fourth way is in the form
of the double knitting in which half of knit stitches of No. 1 needle are used to
form the looping knitting and half of the purl stitches of No. 1 needle are used to
form the tucking knitting. The fifth way repeats the knitting of the second way. The
sixth way repeats the knitting of the third way. Both the yarn in the first way and
the yarn in the fourth way are the modified polyester fibre yarn COOLDRY75D/72F having
a cross-shaped cross section produced by Shanghai Haitianying textile technology Co.,
Ltd and 30D polyurethane fiber yarn produced by Hangzhou Asahikasei Spandex Co., Ltd.
The yarn in the second way and the yarn in the fifth way are 20S pure cotton high
proportion distributed carded yarn. The yarn in the third way and the yarn in the
sixth yarn are J40S lenzing modal/cotton 50/50 blended yarn and 30D polyurethane fibre
yarn produced by Hangzhou Asahikasei Spandex Co., Ltd.
The obtained fabric blanks is consisted of the outer layer, the middle layer and the
inner layer. The outer layer is weaved by the first yarn and the fourth yarn. The
middle layer is weaved by the second yarn and the fourth yarn. The inner layer is
weaved by the second yarn, the third yarn and the fourth yarn. As shown in FIG.1,
the looping knitting portion of the knit stitches of No.1 needle of the first way
and the fourth way and the single knitting portion of the knit stitches of No. 1 needle
of the second way and the fifth way constitute the inner layer. The coil index of
the knit stitch looping knitting of the first way and the fourth way is zero. The
knit stitch inner layer coil formed by the first way and the fourth way is small due
to the elastic contraction of the polyurethane fiber filament yarn and the dividing
of the purl stitch tucking knitting. The coil index of the knit stitch single knitting
of the second way and the fifth way is one. The knit stitch inner layer coil is bigger
without the above two acting forces. It is more obvious under the action of the elastic
contraction of the polyurethane fibre yarn of the double knitting of the third way
and the six way, and thus facilitates the fleece of the following dyeing and finishing
process. The inner layer is the moisture-absorbing quick-drying layer of the fabric.
The middle layer of the fabric is formed by the purl stitch tucking knitting portion
of the double knitting of the first way and the fourth way. The middle layer is the
wicking bidirectional moisture transporting layer of the fabric. The outer layer of
the fabric is formed by the purl stitch single knitting portion of the third way and
