Method for producing towel ultra-long looped piles

Abstract

A method for producing a towel with ultra-long looped piles is provided. First, a looped pile| is woven by using three weft yarns when weaving a towel, a fixed connecting structure for fixedly connecting looped piles is disposed outside every two looped piles| or every three looped piles, and the fixed connecting structure is formed by fixedly connecting 3 to 5 weft cotton yarns. Water soluble weft yarns are disposed between the every two looped piles| or the every three looped piles, and the water-soluble weft yarns are used as weft yarns for separating and fixedly connecting adjacent to looped piles. Then, the water-soluble weft yarns are dissolved in a dyeing and finishing process, so that the original two looped piles| or three looped piles| form one looped pile, thereby increasing the length of a looped pile, so that the towel is fluffy and soft in hand feeling, and is not easily damaged when being hooked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(15) The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

(16) It gives further descriptions to the invention according to the embodiment combining with the figures hereunder:

(17) A method for producing towels with ultra-long looped piles, the adopted technical principles are that: the weft yarns for separating and fixedly connecting between the adjacent 2 or 3 looped piles are changed from cotton yarns to water-soluble weft yarns when weaving towels via the conventional weaving method, then dissolve the water-soluble weft yarns by hot water in the dyeing and finishing process, so that the original 2 or 3 looped piles are enabled to change into one looped pile, and the looped pile is further lengthened. As the water-soluble weft yarns are finally dissolved in the dyeing and finishing process, the density of finished looped pile is lower than that of the greige towels out of looms, the looped pile is poorer in fastness (the hook and tensile force of a looped pile is poorer), the looped pile is easy to separate from the fixed connecting structure of the towel, and the usability of the towel is affected. In order to solve the problem, it is required to weave 2 or 3 looped piles to strengthen the fixed connecting structure when weaving the towels.

(18) The water-soluble weft yarns in the invention can be water-soluble fiber yarns or water-soluble filament yarn. The water-soluble weft yarns can be made of PVA materials or can be alkali weight reduction modified polyester fiber.

(19) The fixed connecting structure in the invention should be appropriately designed, too little fixed connecting structures may cause the result of insufficient clamping force so as to difficult to fix the looped piles, and in the case of higher looped piles, it is easy to slip. However, the fixed connecting structures cannot be too many, if so, the looped piles may not cover the fixed connecting structures, thus the towel may be sloppy, and neither the hand feeling nor style can reach the optimum requirement. Therefore, it should fully consider the weft density of greige towels out of looms of the product and the number of fixed connecting structures during design. The invention employs the technical scheme that: use 3 to 5 wefts of cotton yarns to fixedly connect a looped pile, and the fixed connecting structure can be fixedly connected through a three-weft plain weave or a three-weft satin weave or a three-weft twill weave or a five-weft plain weave or a five-weft satin weave or a five-weft twill weave. Preferably select the plain weave to realize the optimum fixed connecting effect, meanwhile it adopts 160 pcs/dm-380 pcs/dm for the semi-processed weft density, and it is preferably to use 200 pcs/dm.

Embodiment 1

(20) As shown in FIGS. 2, 6 and 10, the embodiment adopts the design that: use water-soluble weft yarns 5 for separating and fixedly connecting the weft yarns of adjacent first looped pile between every two first looped piles. After the water-soluble weft yarns are dissolved, then make the two first looped piles to form an ultra-long second looped pile; and it uses a three-weft plain weave to fixedly connect for the fixed connecting structure 3.

(21) The invention comprises the following steps:

(22) 1) Spinning: there is no special requirement on yarns in the invention, and it can use the yarns with strength satisfying a specific weaving condition. Consider the fluffy performance and the appearance of the products, when it selects 32s/2-16s/2 or 8s-16s single yarns for pile warps yarns and yarn counts in the invention, it will have better effect, and it should control the twist factor between 310 and 400. In the embodiment, it selects 21s/2 small twisted yarns for pile warp yarns, it selects 16s single yarns and water-soluble vinylon yarns for weft yarns, and it selects 21s/2 strong twisted yarns for ground warps.

(23) 2) Warping and sizing: it selects an appropriate car speed during warping according to strength and number of heads of yarns, sizing: it adopts the starching process of light sizing, small pressure, light permeation and heavy coating for pile warps, appropriately smoothen hairiness, improve strength, increase abrasion resistance, and make sure to meet the weaving requirement. It adopts the starching process of two piles high and one pile low as well as afterwaxing for ground warps, it can improve the abrasion resistance and strength of the yarns, and it can ensure good weaving effect. In the embodiment, the warping car speed is controlled to be 550 m/min, and the sizing car speed during the sizing process is controlled to be 100 m/min. The size formula is that pile warp: 23.2 kg of corn starch, 2 kg of liquid wax; ground warp: 116 kg of modified starch, 2 kg of wax blocks and 12 kg of propylene.

(24) 3) Weaving: a first looped pile is woven by adopting three weft yarns when weaving a towel, and for weft yarns separating and fixedly connecting the adjacent first looped piles between every two first looped piles, it adopts water-soluble weft yarns 5, and the water-soluble weft yarns 5 meet the weaving condition. After every two first looped piles, the fixed connecting structure 3 is designed to realize fixed connection, and the fixed connecting structure 3 can adopt a three-weft plain weave or a three-weft satin weave or a three-weft twill weave or a five-weft plain weave or a five-weft satin weave or a five-weft twill weave. In the embodiment, it selects 60s vinylon weft yarns for water-soluble weft yarns 5, and the fixed connecting structure 3 adopts the three-weft plain weave. It employs Toyota air jet loom to weave, the rotation speed of the loom is identical to that of normal types, set the speed at 500 r/min, adjust the tensile force of pile warp yarns and ground warp yarns, which are respectively about 110 kgf and 280 kgf, and ensure successful progress of the weaving process; and adjust the parameters of rear beam height, time of the shed, heald frame height etc., and ensure successful weaving of greige towels out of looms.

(25) 4) Dyeing and finishing treatment: dissolve the water-soluble weft yarns according to dissolving temperature of the water-soluble weft yarns 5. In the embodiment, the water dissolving temperature of water-soluble weft yarns is set to be 90 C. Therefore, put cloth at the high temperature condition (95 C.), boil to 98 C., circulate for 30 min, after draining water, infiltrate into desizing agent with amount of about 0.5-1 g/l, and remove the size on the original blank after treating 20-30 min at 80 C. Then carry out bleaching and dyeing treatment, consider the physical indicators and style of the products, it is set that hydrogen peroxide (27%): 6 g/l, caustic soda (32% ionic membrane caustic soda): 6 g/l, refining agent: 1.5 g/l, hydrogen peroxide stabilizer: 1 g/l, chelating agent: 1 g/l, treat for 55 min at 98 C., and the color is defined to medium and dark color so as to better present the characteristics of the product.
