Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of numerical control cutting, in particular to a trajectory planning method in a cutting-while-walking process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, in some leather cutting, cloth cutting and other industries, the material is often cut according to the needs of production. However, modern people have higher and higher requirements for the cutting process, and in the pursuit of high-quality cutting, they also require high efficiency. For example, cutting out cloth or leather of different shapes, different angles and different lengths, or designing and laying out according to different shapes of cloth or leather to save materials. In many cases, manual cutting by workers is required, which cannot guarantee the quality of cutting and is also low in efficiency. Therefore, cutting machines are born to overcome these defects.

[0003] According to data, numerical control cutting machines are becoming more and more popular in the clothing, home textile and other industries. However, cutting of irregularly shaped sheets (such as real leather) has always been a difficult problem. Currently, in the cutting process of irregularly shaped sheets, the main method is to first identify the contour of the sheet by a contour reading device and then lay out. Then, a projection device is used to project the designed layout and sheet contour on the cutting machine laying area. The sheet contour is aligned with the above projection by manual operation and is conveyed to the cutting area for cutting. However, this cutting process is time-consuming, which greatly limits the industrial production efficiency, and the one-way process is difficult to timely remedy the cutting products.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN104141217B discloses a "fast cutting method for irregularly shaped sheets". The method includes the following steps: 1) marking two marker points on the same surface of the sheet; 2) reading the contour data of the sheet and the coordinates of the two marker points by a data reading device; 3) determining the starting cutting point and its coordinates according to the contour data of the sheet and the sample design scheme; 4) inputting the coordinates of the two marker points and the starting cutting point and the material layout design into the numerical control cutting machine; 5) reading the coordinates of the two marker points on the sheet placed in the cutting area again by a data acquisition device according to the reading order of the two marker point coordinates in step 2); 6) calculating the coordinates of the starting cutting point of the sheet in the numerical control cutting machine according to the coordinates of the two marker points and the starting cutting point in step 2) and the coordinates of the two marker points in step 5); and 7) controlling the cutting knife to cut according to the material layout design. The above technical solution is time-consuming in the cutting process, which greatly limits the industrial production efficiency, and the one-way process is difficult to timely remedy the cutting products. SUMMARY

[0005] The application mainly solves the technical problems of the original technical scheme, that is, the long cutting process greatly limits the industrial production efficiency, and the one-way process is difficult to remedy. The application provides a trajectory planning method in the process of cutting while walking. The cutter cuts based on the X axis and Y axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. The Z axis coordinate is superimposed on the feeding direction of the Cartesian coordinate system of the cutter movement, that is, the X axis of the cutter movement axis, to calculate the actual coordinate position of the X axis during the actual cutting while walking, and the calculated result is output to the servo for movement of the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system. The original servo axis XY positioning coordinate is unchanged, so that the cutting while walking is realized. The working efficiency is greatly improved under the premise of ensuring the cutting quality, and the cutter can be manually controlled to repair the cutting product after cutting error.

[0006] The above technical problems of the application are mainly solved by the following technical scheme: the application comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1 sets the Cartesian coordinate system with the cutter as the origin;

[0008] S2 sets the Z axis movement speed of the fabric conveying shaft;

[0009] S3 sets the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system as the Z0 point on the Z axis;

[0010] S4 superimposes the Z0 point coordinate of the movement into the Cartesian coordinate system;

[0011] S5 updates the cutter cutting coordinate according to the superimposed Cartesian coordinate system;

[0012] S6 cuts according to the updated cutter cutting coordinate.

[0013] As a preferred, the Cartesian coordinate system in the step S1 takes the initial position of the cutter as the origin, and takes the feeding direction as the X axis. The cutter is arranged above the feeding platform, and the fabric is fed through the feeding platform. The cutter movement plane is above the fabric movement plane, and the two are arranged in parallel.

[0014] As a preferred, the step S2 specifically comprises:

[0015] S2.1 first selects the cutting shape;

[0016] S2.2 plans the cutting path of the cutter according to the cutting shape;

[0017] S2.3 counts the time T1 consumed by the cutter in one cutting path;

[0018] S2.4 counts the vertical distance L between the nearest end and the farthest end of the cutting shape in the feeding direction;

[0019] S2.5 sets the Z axis movement speed of the fabric conveying shaft

[0020] As preferred, the step S3 sets the initial Z0 point coordinate as (0, 0) and the Z0 point coordinate after moving t1 as (V1t1, 0). The accurate positioning of the fabric is determined, so as to ensure that the cutting knife realizes accurate cutting while moving along the edge of the fabric.

[0021] As preferred, the step S4 superimposes the moving Z0 point coordinate into the Cartesian coordinate system, i.e. directly replaces the original point value with the Z0 point coordinate (V1t1, 0). The cutting knife and the fabric on the fabric conveying shaft remain relatively static, so as to ensure accurate cutting of the cutting knife.

[0022] As preferred, the step S5 updates the cutting knife cutting coordinate, directly superimposes (V1t1, 0) on the original cutting knife cutting coordinate (x0, y0), and obtains the updated cutting knife cutting coordinate (x1=x0+V1t1, y1). The cutting knife cuts according to the updated cutting knife cutting coordinate (x1=x0+V1t1, y1), so as to ensure that the cutting knife realizes accurate cutting while moving along the edge of the fabric.

[0023] As preferred, the step S6 returns the cutting knife to the initial position of the cutting knife after cutting according to the updated cutting knife cutting coordinate, and cuts the next cutting shape. Returning to the initial position of the cutting knife, i.e. returning to the forefront of the cutting knife moving range, which is exactly the uncut part.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the cutting knife cuts according to the X axis and Y axis of the Cartesian coordinate system, the coordinate of the Z axis is superimposed into the feeding direction of the Cartesian coordinate system of the cutting knife movement, i.e. the X axis of the cutting knife movement axis, the actual coordinate position of the X axis during actual cutting while moving along the edge is calculated, and the output is given to the servo for moving the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, while the original servo axis XY positioning coordinate remains unchanged, so as to realize cutting while moving along the edge, greatly improve the work efficiency under the premise of ensuring the cutting quality, and manually control the cutting knife to repair the cutting product after cutting error.
