Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile technology, specifically to a jacquard process with zero minimum order quantity. Background Technology

[0002] "Zero minimum order quantity" means that there is no concept of minimum order quantity or minimum order amount. This means that textile manufacturers can produce only one or a small number of different styles of products according to customer needs, instead of producing according to the traditional width standard. This can better meet the personalized needs of the market and reduce production costs.

[0003] Jacquard technology refers to adding patterns of different shapes and colors to fabrics to make them more decorative and artistic. Currently, there are two technical solutions for jacquard on the market: palm-sized samples cannot allow customers to see the entire pattern cycle effect and cannot be used to make sample garments. Only small samples can be used to evaluate the effect of finished garments. Furthermore, since most large jacquard machines require a fixed minimum order quantity, usually tens of thousands of meters, there is no margin for error and no way to make adjustments after receiving feedback. In addition, the cost is high and cannot meet the designer's need for small-scale sample garment production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a zero-minimum-order jacquard process, which solves the problems of palm-sized samples not being able to allow customers to see the entire pattern cycle effect and not being able to make sample garments, relying solely on small samples to evaluate the effect of finished garments. Furthermore, since most large jacquard machines require a fixed minimum order quantity, usually tens of thousands of meters, there is no margin for error, no ability to make adjustments after receiving feedback, and the cost is high, failing to meet the designer's need for small-scale sample garment production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a jacquard process with zero minimum order quantity, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Receiving the electronic draft of the design: Before production, designers usually use design methods to obtain the electronic draft of the design from the client.

[0008] S3. Automatic arrangement of heddle and reed threading: The computer automatically calculates the arrangement and heddle and reed threading actions by processing the pattern image, and transmits the calculation results to the loom for operation;

[0009] S4. The loom directly weaves the meter pattern: According to the calculation results, the loom directly weaves the meter pattern based on the position of each yarn and the requirements of the pattern, then cuts it into fabric and trims it.

[0010] S5. Delivery to Customer for Confirmation: The sample is delivered to the customer for review and confirmation. If the customer has no objection to the pattern, then a large batch of products can be produced. Otherwise, the electronic draft and the calculation of the heddle arrangement need to be revised, and a new sample needs to be woven for confirmation. Finally, the sample is delivered to the customer for review and confirmation, and then ready for mass production.

[0023] S36. Perform heddle and reed threading calculations: Based on the pattern information and loom parameters, the computer program automatically performs heddle and reed threading calculations and generates a heddle and reed threading scheme.

[0024] S37. Generate control code: Generate corresponding control code according to the heddle and reed threading scheme to control the loom for production.

[0025] Preferably, the process of cutting and trimming the fabric in step S4 includes the following steps:

[0032] Preferably, the design method in S1 is either computer-aided design software design or jacquard fabric design.

[0033] Preferably, the electronic document in S1 is in one of the following formats: DXF, AI, or EPS.

[0034] Preferably, in step S1, the electronic copy of the flower pattern is received from the client via email, FTP, file-sharing software, or an online platform.

[0035] This invention provides a jacquard weaving process with zero minimum order quantity. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] This invention addresses the issue of designers receiving electronic drafts of patterns or designs from clients before production. These drafts are scanned into the computer of a jacquard loom for image processing and adjustments. The processed results are then stored for use during production. The computer automatically calculates the arrangement and heddle threading actions based on the pattern image processing, transmitting the results to the loom. According to the calculations, the loom directly weaves a sample based on the position of each yarn and the pattern requirements. This sample is then cut into fabric, trimmed, and delivered to the customer for review and confirmation. If the customer approves the pattern, mass production can proceed. Otherwise, the electronic draft and heddle threading calculations need to be revised, and a new sample needs to be woven for confirmation before final customer approval and preparation for mass production. This method satisfies the requirements for jacquard product pattern layout and allows for adjustments to the pattern by designers. Detailed Implementation
