Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garment processing, and more particularly to an unmanned method and system for performing traditional manual hot-drilling on cut pieces. Background Art

[0002] Hot-stamping diamonds refers to the process of inlaying diamonds onto materials such as leather and fabric. Hot-stamping diamonds are often used on fabric as clothing accessories. The process generally involves the following steps: 1. Determine the decorative pattern and the type and quantity of hot-stamping diamonds to be used. 2. Create a drill template that matches the design and specifications. 3. Sweep the diamonds into the template with the adhesive side facing down. Then, use adhesive tape to adhere to the template, transferring the diamonds arranged in the pattern to the tape, creating a hot stamping pattern. 4. Apply the hot stamping pattern to the desired garment area and iron the pattern with an ironing machine to melt the adhesive and adhere it to the garment. Because drill templates are time-consuming and labor-intensive to create, some companies create and sell batches of hot stamping patterns after the templates are made. Garment manufacturers then purchase the hot stamping patterns and iron them directly onto garments. As a result, hot-stamping diamond patterns on garments are highly homogenized and lack personalized design. Furthermore, because hot-stamping rhinestones of varying sizes have varying heights, creating a decorative pattern with multiple rhinestones requires stamping each rhinestone onto the garment in stages. This complicates the production and transfer process, leading to low efficiency and a limited number of hot-stamping rhinestones that can create decorative patterns. Furthermore, while automatic hot-stamping rhinestone machines exist in the prior art, these machines can only transfer finished hot-stamping patterns onto garments with manual assistance and cannot replace manual process steps for creating the rhinestones. Consequently, the process requires a high level of manual effort and is labor-intensive.

[0003] Robotic arms and robotic hands have already appeared in the existing technology. Robotic arms include the Da Vinci robotic arm that can replace surgeons, and robotic hands have five fingers that imitate human hands. In addition, the following technologies are disclosed in the patents previously applied for by our company: The patent with application number 2023101688022 discloses a UGC order generation and order-driven production clothing supply and marketing method. The physical product production order generated in the above method includes the user's clothing style data, which includes clothing piece size data, stitching relationship data, fabric data, etc. After knowing the clothing piece size data, stitching relationship data, and fabric data, it is not difficult to determine the production process (including sewing needle number, thread number, sewing process, sewing process including flat seam, stretch seam, overlock seam, etc.) based on these data. Therefore, after the clothing style data is determined, the production process data can be determined and recorded on the physical product production order; the patent with application number 202211682241.X discloses an intelligent hanging and conveying device for a batch assembly line of clothes of different styles, which can use a power mechanism to move the vehicle body to the corresponding workstation according to the clothing order.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an unmanned method for performing traditional manual hot-drilling on cut pieces, comprising:

[0050] S1. Get the information of the cut piece;

[0051] Specifically, the patent with application number 2023101688022 discloses a clothing supply and marketing method for UGC order generation and order-driven production. The physical product production order generated in the above method includes the user's clothing style data, which includes clothing piece size data, stitching relationship data, fabric data, etc., so the piece information can be obtained through the order.

[0052] S2. Obtaining hot-drilling drawing information, wherein the drawing information includes the drawing pattern and its position on the cut piece;

[0053] Specifically, the hot-drilling drawing can be designed and uploaded by the user, or selected from a pre-set drawing library. After the user confirms the hot-drilling drawing, he or she chooses the hot-drilling position on the cut piece. Therefore, the hot-drilling drawing information not only includes the outline of the drawing pattern itself and the color information of each part, but also the position information of the drawing pattern on the cut piece.

[0054] S3. Automatically generate a hot-drill layout diagram based on the hot-drill drawing information and the hot-drill information pre-entered into the hot-drill database, and determine the specifications of the hot-drills used and the layout positions of the hot-drills on the cut piece according to the hot-drill layout diagram, wherein the hot-drill information includes the specifications of the hot-drills;

[0055] Specifically, the hot-drill database can be set up in advance, and different types of hot-drill information can be entered in advance in the hot-drill database. The most important hot-drill information here includes the hot-drill color and hot-drill specifications, and of course it can also include the hot-drill brand, etc.

[0056] The method for automatically generating a hot-drill layout diagram based on hot-drill drawing information and hot-drill information pre-entered into a hot-drill database includes:

[0057] S301, performing color separation processing on the drawing based on the hot-drilling drawing information;

[0058] Specifically, the technology for color separation of patterns is relatively mature in the prior art, such as PhotoPack,

[0059] SeparationStudio, Tintii and other automatic color separation software, the process of color separation of the drawing in this step is not necessary.

[0060] Describe it in more detail;

[0061] S302, obtaining a hot-stamping diamond arrangement rule from an arrangement library, wherein the arrangement library pre-stores a plurality of hot-stamping diamond arrangement rules;

[0062] Specifically, the arrangement library can be set up in advance, and different hot-drill arrangement rules can be entered in advance in the arrangement library, for example: arranging hot-drills of a single specification with the same particle size as the color block width, with a hot-drill density of a first preset density; or arranging hot-drills of a single specification with a particle size smaller than the color block width, with a hot-drill density of a second preset density; or arranging hot-drills of two specifications with a particle size smaller than the color block width, with a hot-drill density of a third preset density; and so on.

[0063] S303: Fill each color block of the color-separated drawing with simulated hot-drills of corresponding colors according to the hot-drill arrangement rule, thereby generating a hot-drill arrangement diagram.

[0064] Specifically, the simulated hot-drills can be circles with the same diameter as the hot-drill particle size, and the circles are filled with hot-drills of the same color as or the closest color to the color block. The simulated hot-drills are filled with the color blocks of the color-separated drawing according to the hot-drill density in the obtained hot-drill arrangement rule, thereby generating a hot-drill arrangement diagram.

[0065] Since the hot-drill drawing information includes the position information of the drawing pattern on the cut piece, after the drawing is generated into a hot-drill layout diagram, the specifications and colors of the hot-drills and the layout position of each specification and color of the hot-drills on the cut piece can be obtained.

[0066] S4. Determine the position of the cutting piece based on the pre-built virtual garment production workshop and cutting piece information, determine the position of the hot-drilling equipment that matches the hot-drilling specifications based on the virtual garment production workshop and the hot-drilling layout diagram, and generate a movement path based on the position of the cutting piece and the position of the hot-drilling equipment that matches the hot-drilling specifications;

[0067] Specifically, the virtual clothing production workshop is constructed based on the digital twin of the physical clothing production workshop. The virtual clothing production workshop is a virtual model generated by image recognition, laser ranging, and manual calibration, and then the Internet of Things position sensors are used to strengthen the monitoring of key positions. In order to prevent aging, vibration, human factors and other changes in position information during the production process, global structured light camera monitoring, global laser rangefinders, microwave rangefinders and other devices are set to implement real-time monitoring, conduct comprehensive processing of sensor information, and adjust the digital twin world and the real workshop in real time to be completely one-to-one corresponding. If necessary, the system will automatically call manual service for processing. The manual processing process and results will be entered into the machine learning network to continuously enhance the system's automation and precision.

[0068] The virtual clothing production workshop includes a physical clothing production workshop, an intelligent hanging and conveying device (the intelligent hanging and conveying device has been disclosed in patent application number 202211682241.X and will not be repeated here), three-dimensional models of clothing components (including cutting pieces) and various clothing production equipment (including hot drilling equipment), the location information of the intelligent hanging and conveying device, clothing components and various clothing production equipment in the physical clothing production workshop, the device information of the intelligent hanging and conveying device, and the equipment information of various clothing production equipment. In this embodiment, the physical clothing production workshop is equipped with multiple hot drilling equipment. Accordingly, the location information and equipment information of each hot drilling equipment are also recorded in the virtual clothing production workshop. Here, the equipment information of the hot drilling equipment includes the specifications of the hot drilling equipment used by each hot drilling equipment for hot drilling operations and the range of the machine table.

[0069] Since the hot-stitch layout was automatically generated in the previous step, the hot-stitching equipment can be searched for one that matches the hot-stitch specifications used in the hot-stitch layout. The location of this hot-stitching equipment can then be found in the virtual garment production workshop. Furthermore, based on the information about the cut piece, its location in the virtual garment production workshop can be determined. A movement path can then be generated based on the position of the cut piece and the location of the hot-stitching equipment that matches the hot-stitch specifications.

[0070] S5, calling the intelligent hanging conveyor device to transport the cut piece from the current position to the position of the hot-drilling equipment that is compatible with the hot-drilling specifications according to the moving path;

[0071] S6. Calling a hot-drilling device that is compatible with the hot-drilling specifications to obtain the cut piece from the intelligent hanging conveyor device, and performing hot-drilling operations according to the arrangement positions of the hot-drilling on the cut piece.

[0072] Specifically, the hot-drilling equipment includes a machine platform for carrying cut pieces, a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm arranged on the machine platform for taking the cut pieces from the intelligent hanging conveyor device and pressing the cut pieces onto the machine platform, and a robotic arm arranged on the machine platform for performing hot-drilling operations on the cut pieces. The index fingertip of the robotic arm is provided with a hot-drilling tool, which can be a hot-drilling pen.

[0073] Specifically, the hot-drilling device also includes a camera, and the piece information includes the size information and fabric information of the piece.

[0074] The method of calling a hot-drilling device adapted to hot-drilling specifications to obtain a cut piece from an intelligent hanging conveyor device and performing hot-drilling operations according to the arrangement positions of the hot-drilling on the cut piece includes:

[0075] S601: Acquire an image of the intelligent hanging conveyor device and perform image recognition, and determine the position of the cut piece on the intelligent hanging conveyor device and the clamping positions of the first and second robotic arms on the cut piece based on the size information of the cut piece;

[0076] Because more than one piece may be hanging from the intelligent hanging conveyor, it is necessary to identify and remove the pieces from the conveyor. In traditional garment production, workers typically identify the pieces needed for the current process and then retrieve them. Their role in this process is identification and material transfer. With the availability of camera technology, robotic arms, and image recognition technology, computers, robotic arms, and cameras can completely replace manual identification and material transfer.

[0077] Specifically, we can use a camera to take pictures of the cutting pieces hanging on the intelligent hanging conveyor device, and then use a computer to perform image recognition, and compare the size information of the cutting pieces identified by the image with the size information of the cutting pieces required for hot drilling. The matching ones are the cutting pieces needed for hot drilling. A virtual clothing production workshop based on digital twins has been built before, so the position information of the cutting pieces needed for hot drilling in the virtual clothing sewing workshop can also be determined. In addition, the position information of the drawing pattern on the cutting piece is included in the hot drilling drawing information, so the cutting piece to be clamped by the first and second robotic arms and the clamping position on the cutting piece can be determined. The clamping position of the first and second robotic arms on the cutting piece should not block the position of the drawing pattern on the cutting piece.

[0078] S602: Determine the table position of the hot-drilling equipment that matches the hot-drilling specifications based on the virtual garment production workshop;

[0079] Since all the equipment information of the hot-stamping equipment is recorded in the virtual clothing production workshop, the position of the machine surface of the hot-stamping equipment can be found out. The machine surface position here refers to the point set within the edge line range of the machine surface.

[0080] S603: Based on the position of the cut piece on the intelligent hanging conveyor device, the gripping positions of the first and second robotic arms on the cut piece, and the position of the machine table, the first and second robotic arms are called upon to grip the cut piece from the intelligent hanging conveyor device and transfer it to the machine table.

[0081] Since the virtual clothing production workshop corresponds one to one with the physical clothing production workshop, the starting and ending positions of the first and second robotic arms are calibrated with the help of the virtual clothing production workshop, so that the first and second robotic arms can be called to clamp the cut pieces from the intelligent hanging conveyor device and transfer them to the machine table.

[0082] S604: Obtain the machine table image and perform image recognition to determine the position of the cut pieces on the machine table and the storage position of each color of hot-drilling on the machine table;

[0083] The hot-drilling equipment here can store hot-drilling diamonds of the same specification but different colors, so that the hot-drilling operations of the same specification hot-drilling diamonds can be completed on this one hot-drilling equipment. Of course, if sufficient conditions are met, hot-drilling diamonds of the same specification but different colors can also be processed on different hot-drilling equipment.

[0084] S605: Based on the position of the cut piece on the machine table, the storage position of each color of hot-drilling on the machine table, and the arrangement position of each color of hot-drilling on the cut piece, call the robot to take the hot-drilling of the corresponding color and place it on the cut piece;

[0085] S606: Determine the hot-drilling temperature and hot-drilling duration based on the fabric information of the cut piece, and call a robot to perform hot-drilling operations on the hot-drills placed on the cut piece.

[0086] The hot-drilling equipment here not only provides hot-drills of the same specifications in multiple colors, but also in multiple brands. When users have requirements for the brand of hot-drills, they can also choose hot-drills of the corresponding brand according to the requirements.

[0087] During the execution of the above embodiment, after constructing a virtual clothing production workshop based on digital twins, combined with the clothing supply and marketing method and intelligent hanging and conveying device developed by our company, the transportation process of the cut pieces is fully automated. At the same time, the information of the hot-drilling drills used in the hot-drilling process is stored in the hot-drilling database in advance, and the arrangement rules of the hot-drilling drills are stored in the arrangement method library in advance. Based on the hot-drilling drill arrangement method selected by the user and the hot-drilling drill drawing, the hot-drilling work on the cut pieces is completed by combining existing manipulator and robotic arm technology. Due to the comprehensive application of multiple technologies such as image recognition, digital twins, manipulator and robotic arm technology, there is no need to prepare hot-drilling patterns in advance, which shortens the hot-drilling process flow, meets the personalized needs of users, improves the degree of industry automation, and reduces labor costs.

[0088] In another embodiment, when it is determined in S3 that multiple hot-drill specifications are used according to the hot-drill layout diagram, the layout position of each hot-drill specification on the cut piece is determined separately. Then, S4 to S6 are repeatedly executed in ascending order of hot-drill specifications until the hot-drilling operation is completed for all hot-drill specifications in the hot-drill layout diagram.

[0089] Since the hot-drilling layout may use more than one specification of hot-drills, when faced with a combination of hot-drilling specifications, the hot-drilling process can be completed with hot-drilling equipment that matches the hot-drilling specifications of the hot-drills. Specifically, the hot-drilling equipment that matches the small-sized hot-drills in the hot-drilling layout can be used to complete the hot-drilling process. Then, the hot-drilling equipment that matches the large-sized hot-drills can be used to complete the hot-drilling of the large-sized hot-drills. Since the small-sized hot-drills are lower in height and the large-sized hot-drills are higher in height, this arrangement ensures that the hot-drilling process of the large-sized hot-drills will not affect the already hot-drilled small-sized hot-drills.

[0090] During the execution of the above embodiment, hot-stitching diamonds of different specifications can be combined to form a three-dimensional hot-stitching diamond pattern, thereby meeting the user's more complex personalized needs.

[0091] In another embodiment, after automatically generating the hot-stamping diamond layout diagram based on the hot-stamping diamond drawing information and the hot-stamping diamond information pre-entered into the hot-stamping diamond database, the method further includes:

[0092] Obtaining a manually adjusted hot-stamping diamond arrangement diagram based on the automatically generated hot-stamping diamond arrangement diagram;

[0093] The pre-built machine learning model is trained using the automatically generated hot-stamping diamond arrangement diagram and the manually adjusted hot-stamping diamond arrangement diagram, so that the machine learning model learns to automatically generate adjustment instructions when the hot-stamping diamond arrangement diagram is unreasonable;

[0094] Use the trained machine learning model to adjust and automatically generate the hot-drilling layout diagram.
