Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a seamless 3D flat knit
vamp and manufacturing method thereof.
[0002] Woven vamp has become a new product line which has the
advantages of light, breathable and stylable, thus is welcomed by
the market. However, current woven vamps are formed by firstly
weaving a planar woven fabric, laying out several extended
shoe-shaped vamps on the planar woven fabric, forming jacquard or
hollow patterns on corresponding parts of the shoe-shaped vamps,
and thereafter cutting the vamps by laser machines. However, it
takes a long time for the laser machines to cut the vamps; the
costs of the machines are also high. For some vamps, after being
embroidered or adhered to other fabrics, it is necessary to carry
out second cutting operation by laser machines. The manufacturing
process is complex, and a large amount of edges, corners and
remaining fabric will be wasted. Precise sewing is required for
combining the planar vamp and the sole, otherwise the size and
shape of the shoe will be affected, resulting in inconsistent shoe
size and jeopardizing comfortability and aestheticness. All the
aforementioned causes high manufacturing costs of the shoes.
Besides, common woven vamps are made of softer fabric, thus the
vamps are not firm enough and easily collapse, affecting the outer
appearance of the vamps.
[0003] Upon long-term research, the applicant provides a vamp
manufacturing method in Chinese invention patent application number
201610585301.4 titled "An integral vamp manufacturing method and an
integral woven vamp" which comprises the following steps: (1)
Weaving preparation: according to pattern and technical
requirements of the vamp, supply raw color yarns, fusible yarns and
elastic yarns to the main color yarn feeder, matching color yarn
feeder and elastic yarn feeder, import predetermined program to the
vamp machine, and input corresponding parameters; (2) Weaving
U-shaped tubular fabric, wherein one side of the U-shaped tubular
fabric forms the outer layer of the vamp and the other side forms
the inner layer of the vamp; both the outer side and the inner side
of the vamp are in tubular shape; the bending portion in the middle
of the U-shaped tubular fabric forms the shoe mouth portion at the
intersection of the inner layer and outer layer of the vamp; the
vamp machine sequentially weaves the setup portion, the outer toe
portion, the outer shoe body portion, the outer heel portion, the
outer shoe mouth portion to the inner shoe mouth portion, the inner
heel portion, the inner shoe body portion and the inner toe
portion; partial jacquard patterns, partial elasticity enhancement
effects are applied to the outer layer of the vamp according to
different techniques and functions required at different parts of
the vamp during weaving; (3) Sewing together the inner toe portion
sewing eye, and positioning the woven U-shaped tubular fabric to
the sewing machine by automatic robotic arm so that the inner toe
portion sewing eye is positioned at the needle position of the
machine for automatic sewing of the inner toe portion sewing eye;
(4) Sewing together the outer toe portion sewing eye, and sucking
the U-shaped tubular fabric to the outlet by suction pipe, then
obtaining from the outlet the U-shaped tubular fabric with the
inner toe portion sewing eye already sewn together, and then sewing
together the outer toe portion sewing eye; (5) Forming an integral
semi-finished vamp, sleeving the U-shaped tubular fabric with both
sewing eyes already sewn together from the shoe mouth portion, and
sleeving the inner layer of the vamp into the outer layer of the
vamp at the shoe mouth portion to form a double-layer integral
semi-finished vamp; (6) Shaping, shape-setting the vamp and
sleeving the integral semi-finished vamp onto the shoe last,
performing steaming by steam, adjusting and aligning the vamp and
the patterns during the steaming process, melting the fusible yarns
to adhere the inner layer and outer layer of the vamp together, and
removing the shoe last after cooling to form an integral vamp.
[0004] The aforementioned vamp manufacturing method could increase
production efficiency to a certain extent, yet during the
manufacturing process, it is necessary to independently sew
together the inner toe portion sewing eye and outer toe portion
sewing eye. The production efficiency therefore still needs
improvement; besides, there are glitches at intersecting portions
of the sewn parts, thus affecting comfortability.
[0005] In view of the above, the inventor conducted in-depth
research in respect of the aforementioned problems and devised the
present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
