Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fully automatic computerized flat knitting machine control, and specifically relates to a method for producing jacquard and inlay patterns. Background Technology
[0002] Actual garment weaving needs typically include jacquard and intarsia. To achieve the weaving effects of jacquard and intarsia, existing technologies require at least two layers to draw the required jacquard and intarsia patterns separately. Additionally, the yarn feeder groups corresponding to the jacquard and intarsia patterns need to be set manually, making the production process complex and inefficient.
[0003] Therefore, based on the applicant's focused research and development experience in computerized flat knitting machines, it is hoped that technical solutions can be sought to improve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for making jacquard and inlay patterns, which is simpler, faster and more intuitive than the existing jacquard and inlay double-layer or multi-layer drawing methods. At the same time, this application realizes automatic matching and identification of the yarn feeder according to the color code, which also eliminates the manual setting process of the yarn feeder group, thus improving efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for creating jacquard and intarsia patterns involves using a single layer to create the jacquard and intarsia patterns for knitted garments. The single layer refers to displaying the pattern, stitch, jacquard color code, intarsia color code, jacquard yarn feeder, and intarsia yarn feeder on the same layer. A fully automatic computerized flat knitting machine uses this layer as a template, compiles it, and directly knits it on the machine.
[0007] Preferably, the jacquard refers to double-layer weaving that can use different structures and colors to weave alternately; the inlay refers to a fabric formed by connecting color blocks woven in different colors together in the longitudinal direction, with each color block being woven from a single type of yarn.
[0008] Preferably, the design rules for the layer diagram include: setting the color code of the layer diagram to a default custom state; and using different color code numbers to represent different parts of the same row of jacquard.
[0009] Preferably, the design rules for the layer diagram include: the color codes of the layer diagram are divided into jacquard color codes and intarsia color codes by default; wherein, the jacquard color code includes one or more jacquard color code groups, each jacquard color code group includes multiple jacquard color code numbers, and each jacquard color code number corresponds to one jacquard yarn feeder; the intarsia color code includes one or more intarsia color code groups, each intarsia color code group includes multiple intarsia color code numbers, and each intarsia color code number corresponds to one intarsia yarn feeder.
[0010] Preferably, the color code of the layer image is dynamically set; wherein, the jacquard color code can be used as an inlay color code, and the inlay color code can also be used as a jacquard color code.
[0011] Preferably, the jacquard color code includes color code group A and color code group E; the inlaid color code includes color code group B and color code group F.
[0012] Preferably, in the jacquard state, color code group A and color code group E are automatically defaulted to jacquard color code groups, wherein when the jacquard state is a jacquard décolletage, color code group E is automatically defaulted to the reverse jacquard color code group; when it is necessary to use the jacquard color code as an inlay color code, it is manually selected in the jacquard and inlay settings interface of the first layer diagram.
[0013] Preferably, in the inlaid state, color code group B and color code group F are automatically defaulted to inlaid color code groups; when it is necessary to use the inlaid color code as a jacquard color code, it is manually selected in the jacquard and inlaid setting interface of the first layer diagram.
[0014] Preferably, color code group B is automatically defaulted to a single-sided color code group with an inlaid background, and color code group F is automatically defaulted to a single-sided color code group with an inlaid background.
[0015] Preferably, each jacquard color code group includes 15-25 jacquard color code numbers, and each inlay color code group includes 15-25 inlay color code numbers.
[0016] This application proposes a single-layer drawing method for creating jacquard and intarsia patterns for knitted garments. Specifically, it displays the pattern, stitch, jacquard color code, intarsia color code, jacquard yarn feeder, and intarsia yarn feeder on the same layer. A fully automatic computerized flat knitting machine uses this layer as a template, compiles it, and directly knits it. This method is simpler, faster, and more intuitive than existing methods that use two or more layers for jacquard and intarsia drawing. Furthermore, this application automatically matches and identifies yarn feeders based on color codes, eliminating the need for manual setting of yarn feeder groups and increasing efficiency. Moreover, this application is very convenient when jacquard designs require necklines; in practical use, it can automatically generate a single-layer color code for the neckline on the other side of the garment, making the knitting process more efficient and convenient.
