The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of beddings, and specifically, to a plush mattress protector.
A plush mattress protector refers to a functional home protective product that uses polyester fiber plush fabric as a core surface material, is matched with a dense base fabric and an elastic auxiliary structure, and employs a wrap-around or fitted sheet design for completely covering the surface and edges of a mattress.
With the gradual increase in requirements of people for aesthetic appearance, the surfaces of plush mattress protectors have gradually developed toward patterned decorations. At present, the patterns of the plush mattress protectors are generally formed by adopting jacquard, plush carving, and embossing processes. The jacquard process refers to a technique that creates natural concave-convex textures of high/low or dense/sparse piles in patterned areas by designing differentiated movement trajectories of guide bars during a weaving stage, thereby forming the patterns. The plush carving process refers to a technique that performs selective trimming only on the patterned areas by means of laser positioning or mechanical template fixation on the basis of original integral cut plush, thereby forming a layered texture with varying heights and forming the patterns. The embossing process refers to a technique that first embosses a pattern on a plush surface by means of high temperature and high pressure, then performs rapid cooling and shaping to form the pattern. However, the foregoing processes have the following problems.
1. Due to limitations of jacquard and plush carving equipment, it is impossible to produce a plush mattress protector with a fine pattern. In addition, long production time may lead to low production efficiency.
2. Because the embossing equipment performs embossing under high temperature and high pressure, and different plush mattress protectors have different adaptabilities to the temperature and pressure, the quality stability of the product cannot be guaranteed.
In view of this, a plush mattress protector is designed to solve the foregoing problems.
To solve the problem proposed in the foregoing background, The present disclosure provides a plush mattress protector. The pattern is finer, and the pattern repeat can be enlarged to about 60 mm. In addition, the plush mattress protector features stable product quality, advanced technology, high production efficiency, low cost, and hand feel quality superior to that of products made by conventional processes, and thus is suitable for high-end clothing, home textiles, decorative articles, and beddings.
To achieve the objective described above, the present disclosure provides the following technical solutions. A plush mattress protector includes:

Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

The six independently electronically controlled guide bars include two guide bars for controlling knitting of a front base fabric, two guide bars for controlling knitting of a rear base fabric, and two guide bars for controlling knitting of intermediate connecting yarns.
Twisted yarns of FDY 68D/24F polyester filament yarns and carbon fiber conductive yarns are used as ground yarns; a spool for the ground yarns is placed on a creel of the warping machine, the ground yarns are sequentially threaded through a tensioner, a leasing needle, a guide roller, and a leasing reed on the creel of the warping machine before being wound onto an empty beam. The tension is set to 2.5-3 cN per yarn, and a yarn feeding speed is set to 300-350 m/min. The warping machine is started to arrange the ground yarns closely and evenly on the beam.
Twisted yarns of 100D/192f semi-dull DTY and carbon fiber conductive yarns are used as face yarns; a spool for the face yarns is placed on a creel of the warping machine, the face yarns are sequentially threaded through a tensioner, a leasing needle, a guide roller, and a leasing reed on the creel of the warping machine before being wound onto an empty beam. The tension is set to 1.5-2 cN per yarn, and a yarn feeding speed is set to 280-320 m/min. The warping machine is started to arrange the face yarns closely and evenly on the beam.
The ground yarn beam of the front base fabric is mounted on a let-off frame corresponding to two guide bars that control the knitting of the front base fabric on the warp knitting machine.
The ground yarns from the ground yarn beam of the front base fabric are sequentially threaded through guide needles of the two guide bars that control the knitting of the front base fabric on the warp knitting machine by means of a non-spaced threading method.
The ground yarn beam of the rear base fabric is mounted on a let-off frame corresponding to two guide bars that control the knitting of the rear base fabric on the warp knitting machine.
The ground yarns from the ground yarn beam of the rear base fabric are sequentially threaded through guide needles of the two guide bars that control the knitting of the rear base fabric on the warp knitting machine by means of a non-spaced threading method.
The face yarn beam of the intermediate connecting yarns is mounted on a let-off frame corresponding to two guide bars that control the knitting of the intermediate connecting yarns on the warp knitting machine.
The face yarns from the face yarn beam of the intermediate connecting yarns are successively threaded through guide needles of the two guide bars that control the knitting of the intermediate connecting yarns by means of a one-in-one-out threading method.
The tension of the ground yarn is to 2.5-3 cN per yarn, and a ground yarn feeding speed is set to 3.5-4 m/min. The tension of the face yarn is set to 1.5-2 cN per yarn, a face yarn feeding speed is set to 3-3.2 m/min. A machine speed is set to 300-320 r/min and a spacing between the needle beds is set to 5 mm. The warp knitting machine is started to knit a grey fabric with two layers of base fabric and intermediate U-shaped face yarns by using a knitting method which employs tricot knitting for the ground yarns and modified tricot knitting for the face yarns.
Tricot knitting means that when a knitting needle is lifted upward, the guide bar swings to the left to lay the ground yarn into a hook of the knitting needle; when the knitting needle moves downward to hook the yarn and form a loop, the guide bar swings to the right in preparation for the next yarn laying, and the cycle of “left swing for yarn laying→right swing for resetting” is repeated to form a continuous tricot stitch loop structure.
There are four cycles for the modified tricot knitting. In the first cycle, that is, during yarn laying of the front needle bed, when the knitting needle is lifted upward, the guide bar swings to the left while remaining on the front needle bed side, the face yarn is laid into a hook of a knitting needle on the front needle bed, and then the knitting needle moves downward to hook the yarn to form a front-side loop. In the second cycle, that is, during resetting, the guide bar swings to the right to return to a middle position while remaining stationary in a front-back direction. In the third cycle, that is, during the yarn laying of the front needle bed again, when the knitting needle is lifted upward once more, the guide bar swings to the left to continuously lay the face yarn into a hook of an adjacent knitting needle on the front needle bed, thereby forming a second front-side loop. In the fourth cycle, that is, during yarn laying of the rear needle bed, when the knitting needle is lifted upward, the guide bar swings to the right and moves backward by 5 mm to reach the rear needle bed side, the face yarn is laid into a hook of a knitting needle on the rear needle bed, and then the knitting needle moves downward to hook the yarn to form a rear-side loop. By repeating the foregoing four cycles, the face yarns can form continuous “U-shaped loops” between the front needle bed and the rear needle bed, with each U-shaped loop spanning the two layers of base fabric and firmly connecting the front and rear base fabrics.
