Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sock raw material budgeting, and in particular to a method and system for automatically calculating sock raw materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] The amount of raw materials required for producing socks is huge, with different specifications and fast turnover. Raw materials need to be purchased or dyed by multiple parties. The closer the budgeted purchase quantity of raw materials by an enterprise to the actual production needs, the fewer the number of purchase or dyeing times, and the lower the purchase cost. The more accurate the purchase quantity of raw materials, the less the warehouse raw material inventory, and the less the manpower and time required for warehouse management. The more accurate the purchase quantity of raw materials, the shorter the production cycle, and the less the impact on the quality or delivery date of socks caused by different batches or colors of raw materials due to repeated purchase or dyeing of raw materials due to insufficient quantity. This effectively reduces or avoids the troubles and difficulties caused by insufficient or excessive purchase of raw materials. The quotation of an enterprise to a customer is calculated based on the weight of all raw materials consumed by the socks, that is, the more accurate the budgeted weight, the more accurate the quotation. There are currently several methods for an enterprise to budget the weight of socks:

[0003] A1: Proportional estimation method: only suitable for the weight budgeting of simple flat socks, not suitable for the weight budgeting of patterned socks or socks with elastic bands on the upper and lower parts,

[0004] A2: Cutting and weighing method: only suitable for socks with large pattern areas that are easy to cut. If the cut sock pieces are too small to weigh, they cannot be calculated. Only the amount of the cut sock pieces that are knitted into loops can be calculated, and the amount of the part that is cut off by the scissors and sucked away during knitting cannot be calculated. The calculation is incomplete and inaccurate,

[0005] A3: Disassembling and weighing method: for patterned socks, the amount of the part that is cut off by the scissors and sucked away during knitting cannot be calculated. The calculation is still incomplete, time-consuming, labor-intensive, low in efficiency, and inaccurate,

[0006] A4: Estimating weight by loop count method: suitable for special parts, such as the use of 0.04g / loop*double for 100# elastic bands at the cuff, and 0.06g / loop*double for 21S / 1C single elastic bands at the cuff. This estimation method does not change with stretching, and the error is large. SUMMARY

[0007] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a method and system for automatically calculating sock raw materials that can accurately budget the order materials.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present application is:

[0009] The application provides a method for calculating sock raw materials, in which the length of the sock raw materials is calculated according to the process stretching of the sock, the weight of the sock surface is calculated according to the length of the sock raw materials, the weight of the remaining length which cannot be cut off from the finished sock is calculated, and the total weight of the final sock raw materials is calculated according to the weight of the sock surface, the raw materials which need to be cut off and the weight of the remaining length.

[0016] According to the above technical scheme, wherein:

[0017] The ratio is (the sample weight-all the accumulated remaining length weights of the raw materials of all parts) / (the accumulated loop weights of the raw materials of all parts corresponding to the sample+the accumulated terry weights of all parts);

[0018] The finished product weight is (the accumulated loop weights of the raw materials of all parts corresponding to the sample+the accumulated remaining length weights of the raw materials of all parts corresponding to the sample+the accumulated terry weights of all parts);

[0019] The corrected finished product weight is ((the accumulated loop weights of the raw materials of all parts corresponding to the sample+the accumulated terry weights of all parts)*the ratio+the accumulated remaining length weights of the raw materials of all parts corresponding to the sample);

[0020] Consumption weight = (the cumulative sum of each part of each raw material loop weight + the cumulative sum of each part of the loop weight) * the ratio * raw material loss) + the cumulative sum of each part of each raw material loop weight;

[0021] Budget weight = consumption weight * order quantity * order balance.

[0022] The preceding technical solution, wherein:

[0023] Inner yarn loop weight = (inner yarn coefficient * total fineness of the stretch part 1 / 2 + (straight pull length * 2) / straight pull loop number) * total number of inner yarn loops * inner yarn raw material fineness / weight conversion coefficient;

[0024] Face yarn loop weight = (face yarn coefficient * total fineness of the stretch part 1 / 2 + (straight pull length * 2) / straight pull loop number) * total number of face yarn loops * face yarn raw material fineness / weight conversion coefficient;

[0025] Loop weight = total length of raw material loops * raw material fineness / weight conversion coefficient;

[0026] Loop weight = loop height * total number of loops * loop raw material fineness / weight conversion coefficient;

[0027] Length weight = total length of raw material loops left on the sample after the front cutting * raw material fineness / weight conversion coefficient;

[0028] Correction weight = loop weight + length weight + loop weight.

[0029] The present application also provides a method for automatically calculating the raw materials of a sock, comprising the following steps:

[0030] Step A: a calculation table is newly created, and order information of the sock is input in the calculation table, including order number, order quantity, production model, confirmed sample weight, order balance, and raw material loss;

[0031] Step B: the sample and pattern of the sock are analyzed to generate a sample analysis table, if the sock sample has no pattern, the corresponding information of the inner yarn and face yarn raw materials used by each part of the sock is directly input in the sample analysis table; if the sock sample has a pattern, the corresponding information of the inner yarn and face yarn raw materials used by each part without pattern is first input in the sample analysis table, the name of the pattern is then input in the sample analysis table, all pixel point color numbers in the pattern are automatically collected and stored in a data collection table, the unique value of the color number is extracted and listed in the sample analysis table, and the information of the raw materials corresponding to the color number is finally input.

[0032] Step C: sequentially add the sock part table in the calculation table, and input the relevant information containing the sample knitting process in the sock part table, automatically calculate the loop weight, float weight, length weight, and terry weight of each single material used in each part, calculate the finished product weight of the sock, and correct the finished product weight according to the preset ratio calculation;

[0033] Step D: automatically adjust the ratio according to the ratio of the finished product weight and the sample weight until the corrected finished product weight and the sample weight are equal;

[0035] According to the above technical solution, the calculation formula used in the automatic process includes:

[0036] Ratio = (sample weight - sum of length weights of all parts of the material) / sum of loop weights of all parts of the material corresponding to the sample;

[0037] Finished product weight = sum of loop weights of all parts of the material corresponding to the sample + sum of length weights of all parts of the material corresponding to the sample + sum of terry weights of all parts;

[0038] Corrected finished product weight = (sum of loop weights of all parts of the material corresponding to the sample + sum of terry weights) * ratio + sum of length weights of all parts of the material corresponding to the sample;

[0039] Material consumption weight = (sum of loop weights of each part of each material + sum of terry weights of each part) * ratio * material loss + sum of float weights of each part of each material;

[0040] Budget weight = material consumption weight * order quantity * order remaining amount.

[0041] The present application also provides an automatic calculation of sock material system based on the above-mentioned automatic calculation of sock material method, comprising:

[0042] The basic data table includes a machine type data table, a material yarn specification table, a sock part name table and a list of corresponding values of the height of the loop piece;

[0072] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0073] For hosiery raw material budgeting, especially according to the confirmed sample weight per unit, pattern style and production process of the customer, the weight per unit of various raw materials required for knitting hosiery can be more accurately budgeted, and the weight of various raw materials required for completing the order can be accurately budgeted, which is beneficial to more accurately budgeting the cost and pricing of hosiery, reducing the procurement cost and effectively reducing the raw material inventory. The present application overcomes the traditional budgeting method, which not only calculates the weight per unit of the raw material knitted into a loop, but also calculates the weight per unit of the raw material cut off (not on the hosiery), so that the calculation is not missed and is calculated according to the process stretching of the hosiery, which greatly improves the accuracy and is very close to the actual consumption of the raw material weight per unit of the hosiery, which is an important basis for the enterprise to quote to the customer.

[0074] Hosiery mainly includes four parts of the top, the heel, the leg and the toe, and the most basic raw material for weaving hosiery is 3 kinds of raw materials, namely, rubber, cotton yarn and elastic fiber. The cotton yarn is woven on the outside, which is called face yarn or outer yarn, and the elastic fiber is inside, which is called inner yarn or lining yarn.

[0075] According to the above budgeting idea, the method for calculating hosiery raw materials of the embodiment of the present application mainly calculates the length of the hosiery material according to the process stretching of the hosiery in the process of calculating the hosiery raw materials, then calculates the hosiery surface weight according to the length of the hosiery material, and calculates the length weight left on the finished hosiery which cannot be cut off, and finally calculates the total weight of the hosiery material according to the hosiery surface weight, the weight of the raw material which needs to be cut off and the length weight left.

[0076] Hosiery is knitted circle by circle in the weaving process, and the knitted circle is called loop (which can be considered as the hosiery surface is all loops), and the non-loop is called floating line (on the back of the hosiery). The floating line is divided into two parts, one part is the excess thread end which needs to be cut off, and the other part is the length left on the hosiery which cannot be cut off, which is called length left. If the length of the floating line exceeds a certain fixed value, it will be cut off, and the length of the thread end after cutting is the fixed length left, because it is related to the height of the cutter disc. Therefore, the length of the cut-off floating line is the fixed value of the floating line minus the length left. Generally, the floating line will be cut off when it exceeds a certain number of stitches.

[0077] In the process of calculating the total weight of the sock material, the key is to convert the length of the sock material used into the weight according to the amount of the length of the sock material used. In the process of knitting, the loop length of the knitted sock surface can be calculated by using the process stretching. The float length of the sock surface that is not knitted can be directly calculated according to the corresponding length column value of the sock manufacturing machine type, and the loop length plus the float length is the length of the sock material used, which is converted into the weight to calculate the weight of the sock material.

[0078] If the sock has a pattern, a plurality of colors of threads need to be used, and the total number of stitches of each color multiplied by the length of each stitch is the total length of the sock surface, which is converted into the weight.

[0079] However, since the length of the float does not change with stretching, the length of the sock material calculated according to the stretching process is not accurate enough, and the length of the material needs to be corrected. The correction coefficient can be calculated according to the length of all parts of the sock.

[0080] If the sock has no pattern, with the correction coefficient, the length of the sock can be calculated according to the stretching process and corrected, and then the total weight of the sock material can be calculated according to the corrected length.

[0081] If there is a pattern, the corresponding material data of the pattern part needs to be calculated separately.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the method for calculating the sock material according to the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0083] S1, obtaining the basic order information of the sock, including the order number, the order quantity, the production machine type, the confirmed sample weight, the order surplus and the material loss;

[0084] S2, if the sock has no pattern, obtaining the corresponding information of the inner yarn and the surface yarn material used by each part of the sock; if the sock has a pattern, obtaining the corresponding information of the inner yarn and the surface yarn material used by each part without a pattern, and obtaining the pattern name, automatically collecting all pixel point color numbers in the pattern according to the pattern name, obtaining the unique value of the corresponding color number and the material information corresponding to the color number;

[0085] S3, calculating the loop weight, the float weight, the length of the single material used by each part of the sock, calculating the finished product weight of the sock (the finished product weight is mainly the total weight calculated by all parts of the sock), and correcting the finished product weight according to the preset ratio;

[0086] S4, automatically adjusting the ratio according to the ratio of the finished product weight and the sample weight until the corrected finished product weight is equal to the sample weight;

[0087] S5, according to the order quantity, order balance and raw material loss, the weight of raw material used by each part of the sock and the ratio, calculate the consumption weight, corrected weight and budget weight of all the raw materials of the corresponding order.

[0088] As shown in Figure 2 Another embodiment of the method for automatically calculating the raw materials of socks of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0089] Step A: create a calculation table, input the order information of the socks in the calculation table, including order number, order quantity, production model, confirmed sample weight, order balance and raw material loss;

[0090] Step B: analyze the sample and pattern of the socks, generate a sample analysis table, if the sample of the socks has no pattern, directly input the corresponding information of the inner yarn and face yarn raw materials used by each part of the socks in the sample analysis table; if the sample of the socks has a pattern, first input the corresponding information of the inner yarn and face yarn raw materials used by each part without pattern in the sample analysis table, secondly input the pattern name in the sample analysis table, automatically collect all pixel point color numbers in the pattern and store them in a data collection table, then extract the unique values of the color numbers and list them in the sample analysis table, finally input the raw material information corresponding to the color numbers;

[0091] Step C: add the sock part table in the calculation table in sequence, and input the related information containing the sample knitting process in the sock part table, automatically calculate the loop weight, float weight, length weight and terry weight of each single raw material used by each part, calculate the finished product weight of the socks, and calculate the corrected finished product weight according to the preset ratio;

[0092] Step D: automatically adjust the ratio according to the ratio of the finished product weight and the sample weight, until the corrected finished product weight and the sample weight are equal;

[0093] Step E: according to the order quantity, order balance and raw material loss of step A, the weight of raw material used by each part of the socks calculated in step C and the adjusted ratio in step D, automatically summarize the consumption weight, corrected finished product weight and budget weight of the raw materials required by the order, and list them in the single product summary table.

[0094] In step C, a real calculation ratio can also be calculated, which is the ratio of the finished product weight and the sample weight, and can be used to correct whether the calculated finished product weight is greatly deviated, if so, first check whether some data is wrong when inputting, if so, correct it in time. According to the real calculation ratio, automatically adjust the ratio again, until the corrected finished product weight and the sample weight are infinitely close, or manually adjust the ratio according to the needs.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0096] Ratio = (sample weight - the sum of the length of all parts of the raw material) / (the sum of the weight of all parts of the raw material corresponding to the sample + the sum of the weight of all parts of the raw material corresponding to the sample + the sum of the weight of all parts of the raw material corresponding to the sample) ;

[0097] That is, the ratio:

[0098]

[0099] Where i = 1, 2, …, k, j = 1, 2, …, k, m = 1, 2, …, k;

[0100] G0: sample weight; GD i The weight of the thread left after the front break or the weight of the thread left after cutting for each part inside the sock, that is, the length of the weight; GA j The weight of the yarn woven into the sock for each part, that is, the loop weight; GC m The weight of the yarn woven into the loop for each part, that is, the loop weight.

[0101] The weight of the finished product = the sum of the weight of the raw material corresponding to all parts of the sample + the sum of the weight of the raw material corresponding to all parts of the sample + the sum of the weight of all parts of the raw material corresponding to the sample) ;

[0102] That is, the weight of the finished product:

[0103] Where the weight of the finished product is the calculated weight of the finished product, wherein:

[0104]

[0105] n = 1, 2, …, k, h = 1, 2, …, k. GI n The weight of the yarn in each part, GJ h The weight of the yarn in each part.

[0106]

[0107] Where LI n = LIA·NI, LIA is the length of each needle, NI is the total number of stitches of the inner yarn, LIn is the total length of the inner yarn in each part, DIn is the yarn count of the inner yarn in each part (i.e. the fineness of the inner yarn raw material), and Cz is the coefficient for converting the length of the yarn into weight.

[0108]

[0109] Where PI is the inner yarn coefficient, D is the total fineness value of the yarn in the stretch part, L is the straight length of the stretch part, N is the number of stitches in the stretch part, and NI is the total number of stitches of the inner yarn.

[0110]

[0111] wherein is the equivalent diameter of the yarn, since is very small, thus may be equivalent to approximately

[0112]

[0113] wherein the total length of loops LJ n of the veil is = LJA·NJ, LJA is the length of each needle of the veil loops, NJ is the total number of veil loops, DJ n is the yarn count specification of each part of the veil (i.e. the veil raw material fineness),

[0114] wherein PJ is the veil coefficient, D is the total fineness value of the yarn of the stretch part, L is the straight length of the stretch part, N is the number of loops of the stretch part, NJ is the total number of veil loops.

[0115]

[0116] wherein is the equivalent diameter of the yarn, since is very small, thus may be equivalent to approximately

[0117] Corrected finished product gram weight = (the sum of the raw material loop weight of all parts corresponding to the sample + the sum of the terry loop weight) * the adjustment ratio + the sum of the raw material length weight of all parts corresponding to the sample;

[0118] i.e. the corrected finished product gram weight: Consumption gram weight = (the sum of the raw material loop weight of each part + the sum of the terry loop weight of each part) * the adjustment ratio * the raw material loss) + the sum of the float weight of each part of each raw material;

[0119] i.e. the consumption gram weight:

[0120] wherein S is the consumption of each part of each raw material, i.e. the raw material loss, GB i is the float weight of each part of each raw material, i.e. the float weight.

[0121] Budget weight = consumption gram weight * order quantity * order surplus.

[0122] i.e. GH = GT·NO·YO

[0123] wherein the budget weight is the total weight of each raw material needed to complete the order, NO is the order quantity, and YO is the order surplus (i.e. the number of spare parts that need to be increased due to the possibility of defective products).

[0124] According to the above technical solution, wherein:

[0125] The total length of the float of each part = the total length of the float of each part * the yarn count specification of each float / the length-to-weight conversion factor;

[0126] That is, the weight of the float of each part: GB = LB·DB / Cz

[0127] The total length of the float of each part wherein k represents that the part has k floats, and different parts can have different numbers of floats; LJ represents the length value corresponding to each float (which can be found in the machine type list), and NJ represents the number corresponding to the length of each float, for example: 2cm*5+3cm*11+4.5cm*75…

[0128] The weight of the float is always greater than or equal to the weight of the left length. If there is no pattern, the weight of the float is zero, and the weight of the left length is also zero. If there is a pattern, if the number of stitches is particularly small, the weight of the float and the weight of the left length are the same because there is no cutting during the knitting process. If there is a relatively large pattern, there will be cut ends, and the weight of the float will be greater than the weight of the left length.

[0129] The weight of the loop = the height of the loop * the total number of loops * the fineness of the loop material / the length-to-weight conversion factor;

[0130] That is, the weight of the loop of each part: GC = LC·DC / Cz, wherein wherein LKp is the height of the loop, i.e., the length of the loop yarn per needle, NK is the number of corresponding needles, and DC is the yarn count specification of the loop material.

[0131] The weight of the left length of each part GD = LD·DD / Cz, LD is the total length of the line segment or the end of the line left in the sock, and DD is the yarn count specification of the yarn.

[0132] The corrected weight = the weight of the loop + the weight of the left length + the weight of the loop.

[0133] Further, as shown in Figure 3 the input pattern in step A is analyzed, specifically as follows:

[0134] A1: Extract the machine type data list corresponding to the order production;

[0135] A2: Read the pattern, extract all pixel color numbers of the specified part of the sock, and generate a data table;

[0136] A3: Count the total number of each color number in the specified area of the data table, and generate a summary list;

[0137] A4: Calculate the interval value between each color number in the designated area of the data table, count the number of each interval value, and automatically input it to the corresponding position of the model data list, and then generate a new list.

[0138] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , in step B, the data in each form is analyzed and calculated, specifically as follows:

[0139] B1: Analyze the stretching data and raw material composition of the stretching part, and automatically calculate the length value of each needle of the part,

[0140] B2: According to the process chain data of the part form, if the calculated sock part has no pattern, directly calculate the total number of stitches of the part, if the calculated sock part has a pattern, first use the pattern analysis module to analyze the pattern of the part, and respectively count the total number of stitches and the total length of floats of each raw material;

[0141] B3: Extract the fineness value and the corresponding value of the raw material from the base data table, and automatically calculate the stitch weight, float weight, loop weight, terry weight and correction weight of each raw material in the part according to the data calculated by B1 and B2.

[0142] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the total stitch count calculation formula of each action of the toe and the heel includes:

[0143] TB = TA - 2·BA

[0144] TB is the number of stitches in the horizontal row at the end of each pick action, TA is the number of stitches in the horizontal row at the beginning of each pick action, and BA is the chain number of each pick action.

[0145] The total number of stitches knitted by each pick action: T = (TA + TB)·BA;

[0146] The number of stitches in the horizontal row at the end of each tuck action: QB = QA + 2BB, wherein QA is the number of stitches in the horizontal row at the beginning of each tuck action, and BB is the chain number of each tuck action.

[0147] The total number of stitches knitted by each tuck action: Q = (QA + QB)·BB.

[0148] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , in step C, the calculated product weight and sample weight are automatically compared and adjusted, and the specific adjustment is as follows:

[0149] C1: Calculate the stitch weight and terry weight of the sample according to the sample weight;

[0150] C2: Calculate the stitch weight and terry weight of all parts corresponding to the sample in the raw material calculation table;

[0151] C3 According to C1, C2, the ratio is automatically calculated and the corrected weight is corrected. The corrected weight and the sample weight can also be referred to, and the ratio is manually adjusted as needed. The reason for correcting the ratio is that the length of the floating line does not change with stretching, so the length of all parts of the sock needs to be removed when calculating the ratio. The ratio is actually a correction of the length calculated according to the stretching process. After adjusting the value of the ratio, the length of the sock can be directly calculated according to the stretching process, and the total weight of the sock can be calculated according to the length.

[0152] Further, as shown in Figure 6 , in step D, the total weight of all raw materials used for weaving a single sock and the weight of raw materials required for an order are automatically calculated, as follows:
