DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The detailed description and technical content of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Please refer to FIG. 1. The invention provides a weft-knitted fabric 20. The weft-knitted fabric 20 is woven by a circular knitting machine. The weft-knitted fabric 20 is characterized in that: a structure of the weft-knitted fabric 20 described hereinafter is completed on the circular knitting machine during a knitting process, thereby eliminating procedures of partial dyeing and shearing. The weft-knitted fabric 20 comprises a plurality of basic yarn loops 21 and a plurality of cut-loop piles 22. The plurality of basic yarn loops 21 are formed from at least one basic yarn 30. The plurality of cut-loop piles 22 are respectively connected to one of the plurality of basic yarn loops 21, each of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 is formed from one of at least two colored yarns 31, 32. More specifically, each of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 is formed by cutting a pile loop 23 formed from one of the at least two colored yarns 31, 32, as shown in FIGS. 2, and 40 marked in FIG. 2 is a cutting position of the pile loop 23. Further, each of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 comprises a pile base 221 connected to at least one of the basic yarn loops 21, and at least one cut pile 222 connected to the pile base 221. Furthermore, each of the at least two colored yarns 31, 32 without forming the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 forms at least one of the plurality of basic yarn loops 21 together with the at least one basic yarn 30; that is to say, each of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 is only formed from one of the at least two colored yarns 31, 32, and the other colored yarn 31 or 32 without forming the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 is woven together with the at least one basic yarn 30, as shown in FIG. 1. A color of each of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 is selected from one of the at least two colored yarns 31, 32 based on a pattern to be formed by the weft-knitted fabric 20. Furthermore, colors of the at least two colored yarns 31, 32 are different. Different colors refer to a difference in color codes. Similar colors also belong to different colors referred to in the invention.

[0016] Please refer to FIG. 3 as well. In one embodiment, the weft-knitted fabric 20 of the invention comprises a plurality of courses 24, and positions of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 in the plurality of courses 24 are not fixed. Specifically, the positions of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 in each of the plurality of courses 24 are different through knitting process settings on the circular knitting machine for knitting the weft-knitted fabric 20 so that the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 to form a pile pattern.

[0017] In addition, the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 are not limited to fully covering each of the plurality of courses 24 of the weft-knitted fabric 20 of the invention. Please refer to FIG. 4 as well, in one embodiment, a number of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 in each of the plurality of courses 24 is not fixed. That is to say, a number of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 included in one of the plurality of courses 24 can be different from a number of the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 included in the other one of the plurality of courses 24.

[0018] Furthermore, the weft-knitted fabric 20 of the invention is not limited to each of the plurality of courses 24 comprising the plurality of cut-loop piles 22, but there may be cases in which the plurality of basic yarn loops 21 are only included. In addition, the weft-knitted fabric 20 of the invention is not limited to the plurality of cut-loop piles 22 fully covering each of the plurality of courses 24, but there may be cases in which the plurality of basic yarn loops 21 are only included.

[0019] Summing up the above, the weft-knitted fabric 20 of the invention achieves knitting effects of having piles or without piles and pile color conversion to greatly increase a variability of single-sided pile fabrics through the aforementioned structure.
