Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of knitting technology, specifically relating to a method for knitting fully formed sleeveless garments that are divided into pieces along the central axis. Background Technology

[0002] With the technological development of four-needle bed computerized flat knitting machines, fully-shaped garments have begun to gain a foothold in the market due to their high efficiency, energy saving, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. However, the development of fully-shaped knitting technology in my country is still in its initial stage, and the design and development research of fully-shaped garments remains at the level of basic styles and simple structures, making it difficult to achieve innovation in style and structure.

[0003] In current fully-formed garment knitting, the garment is generally divided into a front and back piece along the side seam. The front and back pieces are knitted using different needle beds; typically, the front piece is knitted on the lower front and upper back needle beds, and the back piece on the lower back and upper front needle beds. They are then knitted together at the side seam to form a three-dimensional tubular structure. This knitting method is more suitable for basic styles where the front and back pieces have little variation in shape. However, if there are significant differences in shape between the front and back pieces, it is necessary to combine this with multi-segment local knitting methods, knitting the front and back pieces separately, thus complicating the knitting process. In actual design and wear, for styles with significant variations in the silhouette of the front and back pieces, this side-seam segmentation method leads to decreased knitting efficiency and increased knitting difficulty. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a knitting method for fully formed sleeveless garments that are divided into pieces along the central axis. This method solves the technical problems of poor knitting efficiency and high difficulty in sleeveless garments with large changes in the front and back silhouettes. It optimizes the knitting method for fully formed sleeveless garments, greatly increases the diversity of knitted fully formed sleeveless garment designs, and shortens the process while saving manpower and material costs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the method for knitting a fully formed sleeveless garment by dividing it into pieces along the central axis, characterized in that: the garment is divided into four parts along the front and back central axis: left front piece, right front piece, left back piece, and right back piece, which are knitted together by a four-needle bed computerized flat knitting machine. The left front piece and left back piece are knitted on the front lower needle bed and the back upper needle bed; the right front piece and right back piece are knitted on the back lower needle bed and the front upper needle bed.

[0006] The fully formed sleeveless garment is woven from bottom to top, with the front center line and back center line serving as the left and right longitudinal edge lines respectively. First, a tubular knitting method is used to weave the part where the left and right pieces are connected, from the horizontal line at the lowest point of the armhole arc to the bottom of the garment. Next, a C-shaped knitting method is used to connect the left front piece and the right front piece, and the left back piece and the right back piece. The part where the front and back pieces are not connected is woven from the horizontal line at the lowest point of the armhole arc to the horizontal line at the bottom of the neckline. Then, a sheet knitting method is used to weave the part where the left front piece, right front piece, left back piece, and right back piece are not connected, from the horizontal line at the shoulder point to the horizontal line at the bottom of the neckline. Finally, the shoulders of the left front piece and the left back piece are connected, and the shoulders of the right front piece and the right back piece are connected.

[0007] Furthermore, the knitting method that connects the front and back shoulders on the same plane involves moving the needles to the left and right respectively according to a certain pattern until they intersect, and then connecting them.

[0008] Furthermore, the method of weaving along the central axis is as follows: First, weave the bottom part A using a tubular weaving method with yarn feeder No. 1; continue to weave the same part B for the front and back pieces using yarn feeder No. 2; then weave the chest C and back D using yarn feeders No. 3 and No. 4 respectively in a C-shape; next, continue to weave the shoulder strap F connected to the chest C and the shoulder strap E connected to the back D using piecework weaving with yarn feeders No. 3 and No. 4; finally, weave the connecting part G of the left and right shoulder straps.

[0009] Furthermore, the front and back shoulder straps of the fully formed sleeveless garment intersect by shifting needles to the left and right, respectively, and are then connected. The length of the front shoulder strap is h1 cm, the angle between the front shoulder strap and the vertical line is α, and the front shoulder strap shifts n needles to the left after every m rows of knitting. The length of the back shoulder strap is h2 cm, the angle between the shoulder strap and the vertical line is β, and the back shoulder strap shifts q needles to the left after every p rows of knitting. Let the horizontal gauge of the shoulder strap be ρx needles / cm and the vertical gauge be ρy needles / cm, then the front shoulder strap shifts to the left by sinα·h1·ρx needles, and the back shoulder strap shifts to the right by sinβ·h2·ρx needles. The number of needle shifts for the front shoulder strap is sinα·h1·ρx / n times, and the number of needle shifts for the back shoulder strap is sinβ·h2·ρx / q times. If there is a remainder, the number of needle shifts is increased by 1. When there is no remainder in the number of needle shifts for the front shoulder strap, cosα·h1·ρy = m· sinα·h1·ρx / n; When there is a remainder in the number of stitch transfers, the number of rows knitted after the last stitch transfer is cosα·h1·ρy - m·sinα·h1·ρx / n rows; When there is no remainder in the number of stitch transfers for the back shoulder strap, cosβ·h2·ρy = m·sinβ·h2·ρx / n; When there is a remainder in the number of stitch transfers, the number of rows knitted after the last stitch transfer is cosβ·h2·ρy - m·sinβ·h2·ρx / n rows.

[0010] The advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0011] The present invention provides a fully formed sleeveless garment knitting method that divides the garment into pieces along the central axis. This method solves the technical problems of poor knitting efficiency and high difficulty in knitting sleeveless garments with large changes in the front and back silhouettes. It optimizes the knitting method for fully formed sleeveless garments, greatly increases the diversity of knitted fully formed sleeveless garment designs, and shortens the process, saving manpower and material costs.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] The fully formed sleeveless garment of this invention, divided along a central axis, consists of four parts: a left front piece, a right front piece, a left back piece, and a right back piece. The garment is knitted in one piece using a four-needle bed computerized flat knitting machine, eliminating the need for cutting and sewing. By default, the left front and left back pieces are knitted on the lower front and upper back needle beds; the right front and right back pieces are knitted on the lower back and upper front needle beds.

[0021] The fully formed sleeveless garment is woven from bottom to top, with the front center line and back center line serving as the left and right longitudinal edge lines, respectively. First, a tubular knitting method is used to weave the section connecting the left and right pieces, generally from the horizontal line at the lowest point of the armhole curve to the bottom of the garment. Next, a C-shaped knitting method is used to connect the left and right front pieces, and the left and right back pieces, but not the front and back pieces, generally from the horizontal line at the lowest point of the armhole curve to the horizontal line at the neckline. Then, a sheet-like knitting method is used to weave the sections where the left, right, left, and right front, left, and right back pieces are not connected, generally from the horizontal line at the shoulder point to the horizontal line at the neckline. Finally, the shoulders of the left front and left back pieces are connected, and the shoulders of the right front and right back pieces are connected.

[0022] The present invention relates to a knitting method that connects the front and back shoulders on the same plane. The knitting method involves moving the needles to the left and right respectively according to a certain pattern until they intersect, and then connecting them. Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a method for knitting a fully formed sleeveless garment by dividing it into sections along a central axis, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows two different principles of piece-knitting. Figure 1 (a) in the diagram represents paneling along the side seams. During the knitting process, the following connections need to be made: two side seams on the left and right, and two shoulder lines on the left and right. Rotating the paneling pattern along the side seams counterclockwise by 90° in the vertical direction converts it to paneling along the center axis, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown in (b) in the diagram. During the knitting process, the following connections need to be knitted: at the front center line, at the back center line, and at the front and back shoulder lines on the same needle bed.

[0024] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the segmentation of a fully formed sleeveless garment along its central axis. The garment is divided into four parts: left front, right front, left back, and right back, along its front and back central axis. First, the section S1, where the left and right pieces are connected, is woven using a tubular knitting method. This section typically extends from the lowest point of the armhole curve to the bottom of the garment. Next, the section S2, where the left and right front pieces are connected, and the left and right back pieces are connected, but the front and back pieces are not connected, is woven using a C-shaped knitting method. This section typically extends from the lowest point of the armhole curve to the neckline. Then, the section S3, where none of the four sections are connected, is woven using a sheet-like knitting method. This section typically extends from the shoulder point to the neckline. Finally, the shoulders of the left front and left back pieces are connected, as are the shoulders of the right front and right back pieces. Example 2

[0025] This embodiment provides a fully formed sleeveless garment segmented along a central axis, such as... Figure 3The diagram shows the structure of a fully formed sleeveless vest, which consists of four parts: shoulder straps 1, front piece 2, back piece 3, and underbust 4. The vest has the following dimensions: front chest width a cm, back width b cm, shoulder strap width c cm, underbust height d cm, distance between the front chest width and underbust, and distance between the back width and underbust, respectively, distance from the front chest width to the highest point of the front piece f cm, distance from the back width to the highest point of the back piece g cm, front shoulder strap length h1 cm, and back shoulder strap length h2 cm. Converted to a side view, the vest's width is 1 / 2a + 1 / 2b cm, shoulder strap width is c cm, underbust height d cm, distance from the underbust to the armpit level is e cm, distance from the armpit level to the highest point of the chest is f cm, distance from the armpit level to the highest point of the back is g cm, and shoulder strap length is h1 + h2 cm.

[0026] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the manufacturing method of the fully molded vest. Figure 4 Image (a) shows a schematic diagram of the weaving of this fully-formed vest, showing the panels separated along the side seams. Figure 4 Figure (b) shows a schematic diagram of the knitting of this fully-formed vest, which is divided into sections along the central axis. To demonstrate the efficiency of the two knitting methods, the number of yarn feeders used in both methods is the same. It can be seen from the diagram that the knitting process is shorter when using the section-by-central-axis knitting method.

[0027] The knitting method along the side seam is as follows: First, use tubular knitting with a No. 1 yarn feeder to knit the underbust section A; then, using tubular knitting with a No. 2 yarn feeder, knit the same section B for the front and back pieces; next, use partial knitting with a No. 3 yarn feeder to knit the left and right bust sections C and the back section D in sequence; finally, use two yarn feeders to alternately knit the shoulder strap sections E and F. Using this method, the knitting time is calculated to be approximately 33 minutes.

[0028] The knitting method along the central axis is as follows: First, use a tubular knitting method with yarn feeder #1 to knit the bottom band A; then, continue knitting with yarn feeder #2 to knit the same section B for the front and back pieces; next, use yarn feeders #3 and #4 to knit in a C-shape for the bust C and back D; then, continue knitting with yarn feeders #3 and #4 in sections to knit the shoulder strap F connecting to the bust C and the shoulder strap E connecting to the back D; finally, knit the section G connecting the left and right shoulder straps. Using this method, the knitting time is calculated to be approximately 26 minutes. Therefore, for garments with significant differences in style between the front and back pieces, using the method of knitting along the central axis can effectively save knitting time and improve production efficiency. Example 3

[0029] like Figure 5The diagram shows the unfolding of shoulder straps on the same plane. The front and back shoulder straps intersect by shifting needles to the left and right, respectively, before being connected. The front shoulder strap is h1 cm long, and the angle between it and the vertical line is α. After knitting m rows, the front shoulder strap shifts n needles to the left. The back shoulder strap is h2 cm long, and the angle between it and the vertical line is β. After knitting p rows, the back shoulder strap shifts q needles to the left. Let the horizontal gauge be ρx needles / cm and the vertical gauge be ρy needles / cm. Then, the front shoulder strap shifts sinα·h1·ρx needles to the left, and the back shoulder strap shifts sinβ·h2·ρx needles to the right. The number of needle shifts for the front shoulder strap is sinα·h1·ρx / n times, and the number of needle shifts for the back shoulder strap is sinβ·h2·ρx / q times. If there is a remainder, the number of needle shifts is increased by 1. When there is no remainder after the current number of stitch transfers for the shoulder strap, cosα·h1·ρy = m·sinα·h1·ρx / n; when there is a remainder after the number of stitch transfers, the number of rows knitted after the last stitch transfer is cosα·h1·ρy - m·sinα·h1·ρx / n rows. When there is no remainder after the current number of stitch transfers for the back shoulder strap, cosβ·h2·ρy = m·sinβ·h2·ρx / n; when there is a remainder after the number of stitch transfers, the number of rows knitted after the last stitch transfer is cosβ·h2·ρy - m·sinβ·h2·ρx / n rows.

[0030] like Figure 6 The following are the knitting diagrams for connecting shoulder straps on the same plane. Knitting diagrams (1-1) to (1-5) show the knitting diagrams for moving the front shoulder strap 2 stitches to the left; knitting diagrams (2-1) to (2-5) show the knitting diagrams for moving the back shoulder strap 2 stitches to the right. (1-1) First, turn the stitches on the front knit bed to the back purl bed and move the back bed 1 stitch to the right; (1-2) Move the back bed 2 stitches to the left and turn the stitches on the back purl bed to the front knit bed; (1-3) Turn the stitches on the back knit bed to the front purl bed; (1-4) Turn the stitches on the front purl bed to the back knit bed; (1-5) Move the back bed 1 stitch to the left. (2-1) First, turn the loop on the front knit needle bed to the back purl needle bed, and move the back bed to the left by 1 stitch; (2-2) Move the back bed to the right by 2 stitches, and turn the loop on the back purl needle bed to the front knit needle bed; (2-3) Turn the loop on the back knit needle bed to the front purl needle bed; (2-4) Turn the loop on the front purl needle bed to the back knit needle bed; (2-5) Move the back bed to the right by 1 stitch.

[0031] The above provides a detailed description of a method for weaving a fully formed sleeveless garment with sections along the central axis, as provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
