Knitted structure and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a knitted structure, comprising a base material and a fused knitted part. The fused knitted part comprising a first fiber, wherein the first fiber extends in a loop form through the base material to bond to the base material, and at least a portion of the first fiber is fused and bonded to a fiber portion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A knitted structure, comprising:
 a base material; and   a fused knitted part comprising a first fiber, wherein the first fiber extends in a loop form through the base material to bond to the base material, and at least a portion of the first fiber is fused and bonded to a fiber portion.   
     
     
         2 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , wherein the base material comprises an interlaced second fiber. 
     
     
         3 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , wherein a material of the first fiber includes thermoplastic elastomer. 
     
     
         4 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , wherein the first fiber is a sheath-core composite fiber, a side-by-side composite fiber or a segmented-pie composite fiber. 
     
     
         5 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , wherein the first fiber includes a first component and a second component, the first component is fused, and the second component is not fused. 
     
     
         6 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , wherein the fiber portion fused with the portion of the first fiber is another portion of the first fiber. 
     
     
         7 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary layer disposed on a surface of the base material, the first fiber extends in the loop form through the base material and the auxiliary layer to bond at least a portion of the auxiliary layer to the base material. 
     
     
         8 . The knitted structure of  claim 7 , further comprising a cushion layer disposed between the base material and the auxiliary layer. 
     
     
         9 . The knitted structure of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover layer covering the fused knitted part and bonded to the fused knitted part. 
     
     
         10 . A method for manufacturing the knitted structure of  claim 1 , comprising:
 (a) providing the base material;   (b) providing the first fiber, and forming the first fiber in the loop form extending through the base material to bond to the base material; and   (c) heating the first fiber, such that the portion of the first fiber is fused and bonded to form the fused knitted part.   
     
     
         11 . A shoe structure comprising the knitted structure of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         12 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , wherein the base material comprises an interlaced second fiber. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , wherein a material of the first fiber includes thermoplastic elastomer. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , wherein the first fiber is a sheath-core composite fiber, a side-by-side composite fiber or a segmented-pie composite fiber. 
     
     
         15 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , wherein the first fiber includes a first component and a second component, the first component is fused, and the second component is not fused. 
     
     
         16 . The shoe structure e of  claim 11 , wherein the fiber portion fused with the portion of the first fiber is another portion of the first fiber. 
     
     
         17 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , further comprising an auxiliary layer disposed on a surface of the base material, the first fiber extends in the loop form through the base material and the auxiliary layer to bond at least a portion of the auxiliary layer to the base material. 
     
     
         18 . The shoe structure e of  claim 17 , further comprising a cushion layer disposed between the base material and the auxiliary layer. 
     
     
         19 . The shoe structure of  claim 11 , further comprising a cover layer covering the fused knitted part and bonded to the fused knitted part.
