When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0054] The inventor found in actual application that in the process of cutting based on the cutting table, the technical department needs to print the designed electronic marker drawing through professional clothing CAD software; then the printed film marker drawing is handed over to the cutting operator, and the cutting operator checks the film marker drawing, and after confirming that it is correct, the cutting operator covers the film marker drawing on the fabric. In the actual process, the same style of clothes often includes multiple pieces, and the same style of clothes has different sizes. Therefore, this manual verification method not only affects the efficiency of the entire piece; it is also prone to errors, resulting in fabric waste. Based on this, the present embodiment aims to provide a method for printing a marker drawing on a cutting table film to make up for the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0055] The method for printing a marker pattern on a cutting bed film described in this embodiment will be specifically introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In this embodiment, a plotter is installed on the cutting table, and the cutting table is connected to the plotter for communication. In this embodiment, the plotter can be any type of plotter, and only needs to be loaded with professional clothing CAD software. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0057] Step S102: loading the electronic marker image to be cut based on the cutting software in the cutting bed, and extracting the printing information in the electronic marker image.

[0058] In this embodiment, the printing information includes line information and text information.

[0059] As a specific implementation method, Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are also included to obtain the electronic marker image before loading and information extraction:

[0060] Step S101: acquiring the electronic marker image based on the cutting table.

[0061] The corresponding acquisition method includes: controlling the cutting table to establish a communication connection with the drawing generation end, and sending an acquisition request to the drawing generation end to acquire the corresponding electronic marker drawing.

[0062] Alternatively, the cutting table is controlled to establish a communication connection with the cloud, and a request is sent to the cloud to obtain a corresponding electronic marker image.

[0063] Alternatively, the corresponding electronic marker image is obtained from an external storage device connected to the cutting table.

[0064] At this time, based on step S101, the user can select a method for obtaining the electronic marker image according to his / her own needs and actual conditions, and obtain the electronic marker image.

[0065] As another specific implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the electronic marker image can also be obtained before loading and information extraction through the following steps:

[0066] Step S1012', obtaining the file name of the electronic marker image to be printed.

[0067] Step S1014': traverse all drawing files in the local storage and the cloud to determine if the file name exists, and then directly call it.

[0068] At this time, if it is determined based on steps S1012' to S1014' that a corresponding electronic marker already exists, its position is determined based on the traversal operation and directly called, and it does not need to be obtained from the outside in any way, thereby improving the overall cutting efficiency.

[0069] Step S104: Generate a printing instruction based on the printing information, and send the printing instruction to the plotter.

[0070] As a specific implementation method, considering that the electronic marker drawing from the drawing generation end may have non-template type defects, which may cause printing abnormalities. Figure 4 As shown, after step S104, the printed drawing is checked in the following manner to avoid drawing abnormality:

[0071] Step S1052: Pre-check the printing information in the printing instruction to confirm that there is an unclosed cutting area, and then send a confirmation instruction to the cutting table.

[0072] Step S1054: The cutting table operator manually confirms the electronic marker drawing, or forwards the confirmation instruction to the drawing generation end based on the cutting table.

[0073] At this time, based on steps S1052 to S1054, the drawing abnormality can be confirmed and corresponding measures can be taken to avoid printing abnormality and cutting abnormality.

[0074] Step S106: Printing is performed using the plotter based on the printing instruction to obtain a film marker image corresponding to the electronic marker image.

[0075] As a specific implementation, after step S106, the following steps are further included to process the printed electronic marker image:

[0076] Step S1082: The plotter sends an inquiry request to the cutting table.

[0077] In this step, the inquiry request is used to inform the cutting table that the film marker has been printed and inquire about the processing method of the corresponding electronic marker. In the specific implementation, the processing method includes: local deletion, local storage, storage in the cloud and local deletion.

[0078] Step S1084: The plotter obtains feedback instructions to process the corresponding electronic marker drawing.

[0079] At this time, based on steps S1082 to S1084, on the one hand, the cutting table can be informed that the acquisition of the film marker image has been completed, and on the other hand, the electronic marker image can be processed according to user needs.

[0080] In summary, this embodiment provides a method for printing a marker on a cutting bed film. By installing a plotter on the cutting bed and supporting the function of cutting file printing in the cutting software, the function of directly printing the marker on the cutting bed can be realized, thereby reducing the docking link between the pattern room and the operator, realizing digital communication, and avoiding the possibility of errors made by the operator when drawing; it also saves paper markers, which is more environmentally friendly and simpler in process. At the same time, a variety of electronic marker acquisition methods are set to meet the actual needs of users, and when there is an electronic marker to be printed, it is allowed to be directly called to improve efficiency. It is also considered that the electronic marker obtained from the cutting bed itself has defects, and a pre-inspection method is used to check the electronic marker, and a variety of processing methods are provided when defects exist. Furthermore, a corresponding electronic marker processing method is also provided to meet the actual needs of users after printing.

As defined in this article, computer-readable media does not include temporary computer-readable media, such as modulated data signals and carrier waves.

[0082] These computer programs can also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing device so that a series of operating steps are executed on the computer or other programmable device to produce a computer-implemented process, so that the instructions executed on the computer or other programmable device provide instructions for implementing the process.
