METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING THREE-DIMENSIONAL FABRIC, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL FABRIC MANUFACTURED THEREBY

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric and a three-dimensional fabric manufactured thereby, wherein heat from an external heat source is transferred to the surface of fabric to give a three-dimensional effect in a desired pattern. The method for manufacturing three-dimensional fabric comprises: supplying pile fabric; winding up one side of the fabric around a pattern drum and transferring the fabric; using a pressing roller to apply pressure to the fabric; heating the fabric with heat from the heat source and thermally transforming some of piles to form a pattern, wherein the pattern drum has a cylindrical shape and a perforated pattern. More specifically, the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric comprises: making a pile side of a pile fabric come in contact with and engage with the pattern drum and then transferring and supplying the pile fabric; arranging a heat source independently separated from the pattern drum; preparing a belt for continuously circulating the heat source in one direction and transferring heat to the be overlapping the heat-transferred belt on a base fabric area at a rear side of the pile fabric transferred by being wound up around the pattern drum to transfer latent heat of the heat-transferred belt to the rear side of the pile fabric as indirect heat and heating the fabric under pressure; and transforming the fabric into a three-dimensional fabric having a pattern identical to the pattern of the pattern drum.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
