DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0023] Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] First, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a composite fabric structure for avoiding radar detection according to the present invention comprises is disclosed. The composite fabric (A) mainly comprises:

[0025] a conductive fabric layer (1) having a plurality of non-conducting textile yarns (11) arranged in a first direction thereon, a plurality of metal wires (12) arranged in a first direction on two sides of the plurality of non-conducting textile yarns (11), and a plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) arranged in a second direction thereon, wherein each of the plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) is formed by a non-conducting central yarn (131) and a fine metal fiber (132) wound around the non-conducting central yarn (131), and wherein the fine metal fibers (132) of the plurality of metal wires (12) are interlaced with the plurality of conductive spiral wires (13); and

[0026] a thermoplastic material layer (2) for correspondingly wrapping up the conductive fabric layer (1).

[0027] According to the abovementioned description, the plurality of non-conducting textile yarns (11) and the non-conducting central yarns (131) can be made of the same material and be used as each other.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, in an actual production and use, the plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) are first formed by the plurality of non-conducting central yarns (131) and the plurality of fine metal fibers (132) wound around the plurality of non-conducting central yarns (131). Preferably, the plurality of non-conducting central yarns (131) are constituted by plural multi-core fibers. The plurality of fine metal fibers (132) are made of conductive metal filament, e.g. fine metal filaments of gold, silver, copper, and tungsten molybdenum, and each of the plurality of fine metal fibers (132) has a diameter of 0.02-0.025 mm. In manufacturing the conductive fabric layer (1), the plurality of non-conducting textile yarns (11) and the plurality of metal wires (12) are all arranged in the first direction, and the plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) are arranged in the second direction thereon. The plurality of metal wires (12) are further arranged in a width less than 1 cm from each of the two sides of the non-conducting textile yarn (11) on the conductive fabric layer (1). In such a case, the composite fabric (A) shaped with sheet, block or others can be prepared. After that, an external of the composite fabric (A) is further covered with the thermoplastic material layer (2). The thermoplastic material layer (2) is selected from acrylonitrile resin for covering externals of various wires of the composite fabric (A).

[0029] In weaving all kinds of fabric, the plurality of metal wires (12) are selected from plural fine copper wires or silver wires and further arranged in the first direction on the conductive fabric layer (1). The plurality of metal wires (12) are further arranged in a width less than 1 cm from each of the two sides of the non-conducting textile yarn (11) on the conductive fabric layer (1). A middle of the conductive fabric layer (1) is arranged with the plurality of non-conducting textile yarns (11) in the first direction. The plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) formed by the non-conducting central yarns (131) constituted by multi-core fibers and the fine metal fibers (132) wound around the non-conducting central yarns (131) are arranged in a second direction on the conductive fabric layer (1). In such a case, the plurality of conductive spiral wires (13) and the plurality of metal wires (12) are interlaced with each other to form a set of well conductive path. The plurality of metal wires (12) arranged on the two sides of the conductive fabric layer (1) are connected to a power supply unit (3) to generate heat, and a voltage (V), electric current (A), temperature (T), time and the like can be fine-adjusted by a computer. In such a case, the composite fabric (A) can be heated to the required temperature from a room temperature of about 28 C. to 104 C. Moreover, the thermoplastic material layer (2) further correspondingly wraps up the conductive fabric layer (1) for protection. Accordingly, the composite fabric (A) not only has a considerable low weight and a higher strength than a carbon fiber composite and a glass fiber composite, but also has effect of conductivity and resistance to electromagnetic waves. The advantages of fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, a higher strength than steel, and lighter than aluminum in weight allow the composite fabric (A) to be used in aviation industry, naval industry, automobile industry, construction and wind power generation, or used in military industries, e.g. shells of ships, submarines, fighters and the like, to avoid detection by radars.
