Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of knitting technology, and in particular to a glove knitting method, device, equipment, storage medium and system. Background Art

[0002] Most gloves knitted on the market use single-system glove machines. With the rapid development of the glove machine industry and increasingly fierce market competition, dual-system glove machines have emerged.

[0003] Existing glove knitting machines typically use electromagnets to control the yarn feeders. Initially, the yarn feeders are positioned at either end of the machine. When the yarn feeders are in use, the electromagnets control the yarn feeder positioning mechanism to open, allowing the machine head to reciprocate with the yarn feeders. This method requires the machine head to move the unused yarn feeder to one end of the machine before reloading the required yarn feeder to complete knitting. This increases the machine head's travel time, impacting knitting efficiency.

[0004] For dual-system glove machines (knitting two rounds of gloves at the same time), due to the mechanical connection between the yarn feeder and the machine head, the left system can only use the left yarn feeder, and the right system can only use the right yarn feeder; therefore, when the front plate and the back plate are switched, the front yarn feeder used for knitting the back plate becomes the back yarn feeder when the front plate is knitting, causing the yarns on both sides of the glove to cross, thus causing yarn entanglement.

These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and so on (if any) in the description and claims of the present invention and the drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequential sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described in this application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0057] First, the terms involved in this application are explained.

[0058] Self-running yarn feeder: also known as self-running yarn feeder. There is no mechanical connection between the self-running yarn feeder and the machine head. It can move to a specific position with yarn under the drive of the motor.

[0059] Currently, most gloves knitted on the market use single-system glove machines. With the rapid development of the glove machine industry and increasingly fierce market competition, dual-system glove machines have emerged.

[0060] Existing glove knitting machines typically use electromagnets to control the yarn feeders. Initially, the yarn feeders are positioned at either end of the machine. When the yarn feeders are in use, the electromagnets control the yarn feeder positioning mechanism to open, allowing the machine head to reciprocate with the yarn feeders. This method requires the machine head to move the unused yarn feeder to one end of the machine before reloading the required yarn feeder to complete knitting. This increases the machine head's travel time, impacting knitting efficiency.

[0061] For dual-system glove machines (knitting two rounds of gloves at the same time), due to the mechanical connection between the yarn feeder and the machine head, the left system can only use the left yarn feeder, and the right system can only use the right yarn feeder; therefore, when the front plate and the back plate are switched, the front yarn feeder used for knitting the back plate becomes the back yarn feeder when the front plate is knitting, causing the yarns on both sides of the glove to cross, thus causing yarn entanglement.

[0062] This application provides a glove knitting method, applicable to a dual-system glove knitting machine. By sending follow-up instructions to two adjacent, independently located self-running yarn feeders, the two self-running yarn feeders follow the knitting machine's head and knit simultaneously. This method can knit two rows simultaneously, improving the knitting efficiency of the glove knitting machine. Furthermore, the connection between the self-running yarn feeder and the knitting machine head is independent, rather than mechanical. This avoids the problem of yarn crossing on either side of the glove knitting machine when the front and back plates are switched, thereby improving the flexibility of glove knitting.

[0063] First, the structure of the dual-system glove knitting machine is explained.

[0064] The dual-system glove machine is mainly composed of a main control system, a transmission mechanism, a roller skipping mechanism, a density adjustment mechanism, a knife inserting mechanism, and a thread hooking and cutting mechanism.

[0065] The main control system is the core of the system control. It is used to store glove patterns, analyze glove pattern data and parameters, and control the coordinated movement of other actuators to complete the knitting of gloves. During the glove knitting process, the main control system regularly scans external sensor signals and processes them in a timely manner.

[0066] The drum skipping mechanism, also known as the drum, is a key component of a glove knitting machine. It consists of two cylindrical structures, front and back, each of which is typically divided into 52 sections. Pins are driven into each section according to the glove size. The pins are driven into the corresponding positions, positioning the needle butt on the needle plate ready for needle ejection. For standard gloves, each finger, palm, and elastic band area corresponds to a specific number of drum sections.

[0067] The glove knitting machine relies on the left-right reciprocating motion of the machine head to move the needles up and down, achieving knitting at different locations. The machine head's transmission mechanism is generally a belt drive, and the servo motor controls the machine head's position through a position loop to achieve reciprocating motion.

[0068] The density adjustment mechanism, also known as the density push rod, consists of a front density push rod and a rear density push rod. Fabric density adjustment on a dual-system glove machine is primarily achieved by adjusting the presser depth, or the presser cam. The movement of the presser cam is typically controlled by a stepper motor.

[0069] The knife mechanism is used to form a finger joint when knitting fingers. When one finger is knitted, the knife is used to block the coil at the connection between this finger and the next finger so that it does not participate in knitting temporarily. When the next finger is knitted, the finger joint of two fingers is formed here.

[0070] The hook and cut thread mechanism, when the glove machine finishes knitting the finger part, the yarn needs to be cut off, and the thread on the yarn mouth is hooked in the hook knife waiting to feed the yarn when knitting the next part. When the yarn is involved in knitting, the hook knife releases the yarn.

[0071] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0072] Figure 1 The process of the glove knitting method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 This embodiment is applied to a dual-system glove knitting machine, which is connected to at least two self-running yarn feeders for communication. Figure 1 As shown, the glove knitting method shown in this embodiment includes

[0073] S101: Acquire a knitting file, where the knitting file is determined according to parameters of the gloves to be knitted.

[0074] The knitting file may include, for example, the number of turns for each part of the glove to be knitted, colored yarn insertion parameters, drum parameters, and yarn density. Obtaining the knitting file may involve, for example, obtaining a knitting file pre-stored in a glove knitting machine and importing the knitting file from a USB flash drive, which is not limited in this application.

[0075] S102: According to the knitting file, a first follow-up instruction is sent to the first automatic yarn feeder, and a second follow-up instruction is sent to the second automatic yarn feeder, wherein the first automatic yarn feeder and the second automatic yarn feeder are adjacent to and independently arranged, and the first follow-up instruction is used to instruct the first automatic yarn feeder to follow the head of the glove knitting machine to knit a first knitting row, and the second follow-up instruction is used to instruct the second automatic yarn feeder to follow the head of the glove knitting machine to knit a second knitting row.

[0076] The glove knitting machine's head can reciprocate left and right, causing the needles to move up and down, thereby achieving knitting at different locations. The first and second self-propelled yarn feeders are adjacent and independently arranged. Adjacent means that the first and second self-propelled yarn feeders can knit two adjacent knitting rows simultaneously, and independent means that the operation of the first and second self-propelled yarn feeders is not affected by each other.

[0077] After the knitting file is acquired, a first follow-up instruction may be sent to the first self-running yarn feeder and a second follow-up instruction may be sent to the second self-running yarn feeder according to the knitting file. The first follow-up instruction is different from the second follow-up instruction.

[0078] It is understandable that the first and second self-running yarn feeders have the same longitudinal area but different transverse areas. The first self-running yarn feeder is responsible for knitting the first knitting row according to the first following instruction, and the second self-running yarn feeder is responsible for knitting the second knitting row according to the second following instruction.

[0079] Optionally, the knitting file can be parsed to obtain the first knitting data corresponding to the first knitting row and the second knitting data corresponding to the second knitting row, and then according to the first knitting data and the second knitting data, a first follow-up instruction is sent to the first self-running yarn feeder and a second follow-up instruction is sent to the second self-running yarn feeder.

[0080] S103: After the start instruction is detected, the knitting action is executed.

[0081] The start instruction may be triggered by a user operating a start control, for example. After the glove knitting machine detects the start instruction, the glove knitting operation may be performed.

[0082] The knitting motion is determined based on the knitting file. For example, it controls the machine head to move at a specific speed from one end of the glove knitting machine to the other end. As will be appreciated, during this process, the first and second self-running yarn feeders follow the machine head, knitting the first and second knitting rows, respectively. In other words, the glove knitting machine can knit two rows simultaneously, thereby improving knitting efficiency. The specific knitting motion is similar to existing knitting motions and will not be further described here.

[0083] The glove knitting method provided in this embodiment obtains a knitting file determined based on parameters of the glove to be knitted; based on the knitting file, sends a first follow-up instruction to a first automatic yarn feeder and a second follow-up instruction to a second automatic yarn feeder, wherein the first and second automatic yarn feeders are adjacent and independently arranged, the first follow-up instruction instructing the first automatic yarn feeder to follow the head of the glove knitting machine to knit a first knitting row, and the second follow-up instruction instructing the second automatic yarn feeder to follow the head of the glove knitting machine to knit a second knitting row; and after detecting a start instruction, the knitting action is executed. This method can knit two knitting rows simultaneously, improving the knitting efficiency of the glove knitting machine. Furthermore, because the connection between the automatic yarn feeder and the head is independent rather than mechanical, it avoids the problem of yarn crossing on both sides of the glove knitting machine when the front and back plates are switched, thereby improving the flexibility of glove knitting.

[0084] Figure 2 The process of the glove knitting method provided in this embodiment Figure 2 This embodiment is applied to a dual-system glove knitting machine, which is connected to at least two self-running yarn feeders for communication. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment Figure 1 Based on the embodiment, the glove knitting method is described in detail. The glove knitting method shown in this embodiment includes:

[0085] S201: Acquire a knitting file, where the knitting file is determined according to parameters of the gloves to be knitted.

[0086] Step S201 is similar to the above-mentioned step S101 and will not be described again here.

[0087] S202: Parse the knitting file to obtain first knitting data for the first knitting row and second knitting data for the second knitting row, wherein the first knitting data includes a first starting position and a first ending position, and the second knitting data includes a second starting position and a second ending position.

[0088] After the knitting file is obtained, the knitting file is parsed to obtain first knitting data of a first knitting row and second knitting data of a second knitting row of the gloves to be knitted.

[0089] The first starting position is the position where the first self-running yarn feeder starts to follow the machine head when knitting the first knitting row, the first ending position is the position where the first self-running yarn feeder ends to follow the machine head when knitting the first knitting row, the second starting position is the position where the second self-running yarn feeder starts to follow the machine head when knitting the second knitting row, and the second ending position is the position where the second self-running yarn feeder ends to follow the machine head when knitting the second knitting row.

[0090] The first starting position and the second starting position can be the same or different in the longitudinal direction; the first ending position and the second ending position can be the same or different in the longitudinal direction, depending on the knitting part of the knitted glove being knitted. For example, if the knitting part is the fingertip of the ring finger, the knitting of the fingertip needs to have an arc-shaped effect, so the number of squares to be knitted in the first knitting row and the second knitting row is different, so the longitudinal position of the first starting position and the second starting position is different; for another example, if the knitting part is the palm of the hand, the number of squares to be knitted in the first knitting row and the second knitting row is the same, so the longitudinal position of the first starting position and the second starting position is the same.

[0091] S203: Send a first follow-up instruction to the first self-running yarn feeder according to the first starting position and the first ending position, wherein the first follow-up instruction is used to instruct the first self-running yarn feeder to run to the first starting position, and when it is detected that the machine head runs to the first preset position, follow the machine head to weave the first weaving row, and stop following the machine head when it runs to the first ending position.

[0092] The first preset position and the first starting position may be the same or different depending on the type of glove knitting machine. After obtaining the first starting position and the first ending position, a first follow instruction may be sent to the first self-running yarn feeder according to the first starting position and the first ending position.

[0093] That is: after receiving the first follow-up instruction, the first self-running yarn feeder will move to the first starting position according to the first follow-up instruction, and then detect the current operating position of the machine head in real time; when it is detected that the machine head is at the first preset position, the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head to weave the first knitting row, and when the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head to run, when the first self-running yarn feeder runs to the first end position, the following action is ended.

[0094] It is understandable that when the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head, it is relatively stationary with the machine head. The area where the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head is: the area between the first starting position and the first ending position.

[0095] S204: Send a second follow-up instruction to the second self-running yarn feeder according to the second starting position and the second ending position, wherein the second follow-up instruction is used to instruct the second self-running yarn feeder to run to the second starting position, and when it is detected that the machine head runs to the second preset position, follow the machine head to weave the second weaving row, and stop following the machine head when it runs to the second ending position.

[0096] The second preset position and the second starting position may be the same or different, depending on the type of glove knitting machine. After obtaining the second starting position and the second ending position, a second follow-up instruction may be sent to the second self-running yarn feeder according to the second starting position and the second ending position.

[0097] That is: after receiving the second follow-up instruction, the second self-running yarn feeder will move to the second starting position according to the second follow-up instruction, and then detect the current running position of the machine head in real time; when it is detected that the machine head is at the second preset position, the second self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head to weave the second knitting row, and when the second self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head, when the second self-running yarn feeder runs to the second end position, the following action is ended.

[0098] It is understandable that when the second self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head, it is relatively stationary with the machine head. The area where the second self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head is: the area between the second starting position and the second ending position.

[0099] There is no clear time sequence relationship between step S203 and step S204. Step S203 may be performed first and then step S204; step S204 may be performed first and then step S203; or step S203 and step S204 may be performed simultaneously. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0100] S205: After the start instruction is detected, the knitting action is executed.

[0101] Step S205 is similar to the above-mentioned step S103 and will not be described again here.

[0102] It's worth noting that when the loom is running, it must move from one end of the glove knitting machine to the turning point and then back in the opposite direction. For example, if the loom is moving from the left end to the right end, when it reaches the right turning point, it will be driven from the right turning point to the left end. When it reaches the left turning point, it will be driven from the left turning point to the right end, and so on. During this process, the first self-running yarn feeder will only follow the loom between the first starting position and the first ending position, not throughout the entire process.

[0103] When the front plate and the rear plate are replaced by weaving, since the first self-running yarn mouth and the second self-running yarn mouth follow the machine head according to the follow-up instruction, the first self-running yarn mouth and the second self-running yarn mouth can move to the corresponding starting position by themselves. Therefore, the front yarn mouth used for weaving the rear plate will not become the rear yarn mouth when weaving the front plate, and the rear yarn mouth used for weaving the rear plate will not become the front yarn mouth when weaving the front plate, thereby causing the problem of yarn entanglement.

[0104] The glove knitting method provided in this embodiment obtains the knitting data corresponding to the knitting rows by parsing the knitting file, and sends follow-up instructions to the two self-running yarn feeders according to the knitting data corresponding to the knitting rows, so that the two self-running yarn feeders can follow the machine head to knit in the corresponding knitting rows, thereby improving the knitting efficiency.

[0105] Optionally, the method also includes: when changing yarn, sending a move-away instruction to the first self-running yarn feeder and the second self-running yarn feeder respectively, and the move-away instruction is used to instruct the first self-running yarn feeder and the second self-running yarn feeder to move to the edge of the weaving area; sending a third follow-up instruction to the third self-running yarn feeder, and sending a fourth follow-up instruction to the fourth self-running yarn feeder.

[0106] Yarn replacement refers to the process of replacing the yarn. When the yarn needs to be replaced, the yarn feeder must also be replaced. In existing techniques, yarn replacement requires the machine head to carry a mechanically connected yarn feeder to one end of the glove knitting machine, remove the unused yarn feeder, and then replace it with the required one. This increases the machine head's travel path, thus affecting knitting efficiency.

[0107] In this step, the third and fourth self-running yarn feeders are used to replace the first and second self-running yarn feeders. When changing yarns, a distance instruction is sent to the first and second self-running yarn feeders respectively to move the first and second self-running yarn feeders to the edge of the weaving area.

[0108] It can be understood that the knitting area corresponding to the first self-running yarn feeder is the knitting area of ​​the first knitting row, that is, the area between the first starting position and the first ending position; the knitting area corresponding to the second self-running yarn feeder is the knitting area of ​​the second knitting row, that is, the area between the second starting position and the second ending position. In this step, the first and second self-running yarn feeders move to the edge of the knitting area, which means that the first self-running yarn feeder moves to the area outside the area between the first starting position and the first ending position, and the second self-running yarn feeder moves to the area outside the area between the second starting position and the second ending position. This embodiment does not limit the position of the self-running yarn feeder after movement, as long as it does not affect the subsequent knitting action.

[0109] The third self-running yarn feeder and the fourth self-running yarn feeder are adjacent to each other and are independently arranged, and the first self-running yarn feeder, the second self-running yarn feeder, the third self-running yarn feeder and the fourth self-running yarn feeder operate in different transverse areas.

[0110] The third follow instruction is used to instruct the third self-running yarn feeder to follow the machine head to knit the third knitting row, and the fourth follow instruction is used to instruct the fourth self-running yarn feeder to follow the machine head to knit the fourth knitting row.

[0111] Figure 3 The process of the glove knitting method provided in this embodiment Figure 3 This embodiment is applied to a self-running yarn feeder, which can be, for example, the above-mentioned Figure 1 and Figure 2 The self-running yarn feeder in the embodiment is connected to the glove machine for communication. It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be the above-mentioned Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first self-running yarn feeder in the embodiment can also be the above Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second self-running yarn feeder, the third self-running yarn feeder or the fourth self-running yarn feeder in the embodiment, this embodiment is executed by the above-mentioned Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first self-running yarn feeder in the embodiment is used as an example for explanation. Figure 3 As shown, the glove knitting method shown in this embodiment includes:

[0112] S301: Acquire a first follow instruction sent by a glove knitting machine, where the first follow instruction is used to instruct the first self-running yarn feeder to follow the head of the glove knitting machine to knit a first knitting row.

[0113] The first self-running yarn feeder obtains the first following instruction sent by the glove knitting machine and can run to a specific position according to the following instruction to wait for the following machine head to run.

[0114] Optionally, the first following instruction includes: a first starting position. After receiving the first following instruction, the first self-running yarn feeder moves to the first starting position according to the first following instruction.

[0115] S302: Detecting the position of the machine head in real time, and when detecting that the machine head moves to a first preset position, following the machine head to knit a first knitting row.

[0116] The first self-running yarn feeder can detect the current position of the machine head in real time, and when the machine head is located at the first preset position, it follows the machine head to knit the first knitting row.

[0117] Optionally, the first following instruction further includes: a first end position. When it is detected that the machine head is at the first preset position, the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head to knit the first knitting row, and when the first self-running yarn feeder follows the machine head, the following action is terminated when the first self-running yarn feeder reaches the first end position.

[0118] This embodiment detects the position of the machine head in real time after receiving a follow-up instruction from the glove knitting machine. When the machine head reaches a first preset position, the machine head knits the first knitting row according to the position of the machine head, thereby achieving knitting of gloves. When knitting double rows, the self-running yarn feeder is independently arranged on the machine head of the glove knitting machine, thereby avoiding the defect of yarns on both sides of the glove knitting machine crossing when the front and rear plates are knitted, thereby improving the flexibility of glove knitting.
