Benefits of technology

[0010] It is an object of the present invention to provide a fabric membrane texture and manufacturing method thereof which employs 3D texture for a specific distance of spacer to enable particular functions of anti-bump, thermal insulating, thermal conductivity, air permeability and elastic strength. The present invention enhances the efficiency of high lightweight for effectiveness of the industry.
[0011] It is another object of the present invention to provide a fabric membrane texture and manufacturing method thereof which of the 3D texture of fixed gauge of spacer is a fiber texture of one-piece form that enables the stability of capability to obtain the best control. At the same time, not only the processing is shortened, but also the requirements for application maintenance are reduced. Especially the prop force of plural connecting fibers in the direction of thickness enables to stably control the space size and efficiency for spacer, to increase the dynamic characteristics in the direction of thickness of fabric membranes and to enhance the capability of dynamic impedance in the plane direction.
[0012] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide the fabric membrane texture and manufacturing method thereof to avoid the crash damage from the high temperature and pressure for the middle connecting fibers, through a process of low-pressure fixation, to exploit the size and characteristics of the fixed spacer.
[0013] In order to perform the aforementioned purposes, efficiency and characteristics of each, the present invention discloses that among a texture of fabric membrane comprising of 3D fabric. An upper layer and lower fiber texture layer of the 3D fabric membrane are stretched to build up a spacer of the present invention through plural connecting fibers in the middle layer to execute the functions of anti-bump, thermal insulating, thermal conductivity, air permeability and elastic strength. Additionally, a polymer membrane is used to mount to at least one of the 3D fabric surface to build up a better function of shielding, insulating, or the capacity of ambiance impedance. Besides, this polymer membrane adhering with the 3D fabric using the process of low-pressure fixation that is applied to the product enables to obtain the better clearance of spacer.

Problems solved by technology

However, the consequence presented that the thickness is increased and the defect of heat directly penetrating into inner of texture is not improved.
The characteristics of the texture are the change of strength and toughness on the direction of plane 360 degrees, but the defect is lack of the effect of impedance and insulation for the efficiency of light, heat and dynamics on the direction of thickness.
Especially under the circumstances of the impact of cold-hot environment, the temperature of inner and outer transmitting fast results in the disappearance of the efficiency of insulation due to the time factor and it leads to the disadvantages of high temperature and muggy inside of applications such as curtains and shields under the sunshine in summer.
Moreover, the known design of bi-layer membranes is base on aforesaid the disadvantages of the strengthened membranes of two-dimentional fabric.
The disadvantages of this method are the subsectional design requirement for process, space gauge not able to be precisely controlled, an enormous work, and requiring long time to maintain the supply of inner air pressure.
