Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of embroidery machine technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for synchronous control of multiple operating heads of an embroidery machine. Background Technology

[0002] Because embroidery machines are quite long and the operating head is usually fixed at one end of the machine, workers can only control the embroidery machine through the operating head from a fixed position. Workers need to move back and forth between the machine and the operating head during operation, which brings inconvenience to their daily operations.

[0003] Existing multi-head control methods are based on computer remote control technology, which sends images from the master computer to the slave computer, thereby enabling the same operation to be performed on multiple heads in multiple different locations.

[0004] However, due to the large amount of image transmission and the operation of the embroidery machine, the computer screen will be delayed when operating from the operating head, which greatly reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0069] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0070] In actual production applications, since embroidery machines can be 10 to 20 meters long and the operating head is usually only located on one side of the machine, when workers need to adjust and control the embroidery machine through the operating head, they need to go back and forth between the machine and the operating head, which brings inconvenience to daily work and reduces efficiency.

[0071] In existing technologies, computer remote control technology can be used to send the image from the master computer to the slave computer, thereby enabling two operation heads at different locations to perform the same operation. However, there is a time delay between the two operation heads on the displayed screen.

[0072] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this application provides a method for synchronous control of multiple operating heads in an embroidery machine. This method connects the main operating box to the main control box, connects the slave operating box to the main control box via a signal adapter box, and achieves synchronization between the main and slave operating boxes through data flow from the embedded operating systems within the main and slave operating boxes.

[0073] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a scenario of a multi-operating-head synchronous control method for an embroidery machine provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the embroidery machine control system includes: a main control box, a main operation box, a signal adapter box, a slave operation box, and a switching power supply. The main control box is connected to both the main operation box and the signal adapter box via signals. The slave operation box is connected to the signal adapter box via signals. The switching power supply is connected to the signal adapter box via circuitry. The main control box is used for inputting and outputting pattern data, displaying pattern information, and controlling the timing of actions during the embroidery process. The main operation box communicates with the main control box, transmitting video signals, receiving data input, touchscreen commands, and keyboard input. The signal adapter box communicates with the main control box via network to complete corresponding data processing. The slave operation box interacts with the signal adapter box to transmit video signals, touchscreen input, and keyboard input. The switching power supply provides power to the main control box, main operation box, signal adapter box, and slave operation box.

[0075] Figure 2 This application provides a flowchart of a method for synchronous control of multiple operating heads of an embroidery machine. Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-head synchronous control method for embroidery machines provided in this embodiment includes:

[0076] S101: Obtain the user-inputted operation instructions through the main operation box or the operation box, and parse and process the operation instructions to obtain the parsed first data information.

[0077] Understandably, the main or slave control box serves as the primary medium for user interaction with the embroidery machine, receiving and processing user-inputted commands. The main or slave control box is typically equipped with input devices such as a touchscreen or keyboard, allowing users to input commands. The touchscreen can display menus, options, and a graphical interface, enabling users to input commands by touching icons or text on the screen. The primary data information is generated by the main or slave control box during the parsing and processing of command instructions, containing various parameters and status information required for the embroidery process.

[0078] User input commands can include starting / stopping embroidery, selecting a pattern, adjusting embroidery speed, and setting the embroidery start point. The input device on the main or slave control box transmits the user input commands to the operating system inside the main or slave control box. The operating system parses the input commands and identifies the command type and parameters.

[0079] This process ensures that the user's input instructions can be accurately and efficiently converted into actions and data information that the embroidery machine can execute, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the embroidery process.

[0080] S102: The first data information is sent to the main control box, and the main control box controls the embroidery machine to perform embroidery operation according to the first data information.

[0081] The main control box is the core of the embroidery machine control system. It is responsible for receiving, processing and forwarding control commands, as well as monitoring the operating status of the embroidery machine.

[0082] Understandably, after receiving the first data information, the main control box generates corresponding control signals or commands based on the data information, and sends the generated control signals or commands to the various execution components of the embroidery machine to achieve accurate control of the embroidery machine.

[0083] Furthermore, after receiving and recognizing the corresponding control signals or commands, the various actuators of the embroidery machine perform embroidery operations according to predetermined programs and parameters, such as moving the embroidery frame and adjusting the needle position. This process ensures that the embroidery process can be executed accurately according to the user's requirements.

[0084] S103: The first data information is converted and processed by the signal conversion box to obtain the converted second data information, and the second data information is sent to the main operation box or the slave operation box.

[0085] Understandably, the signal adapter box receives unconverted raw operational data from the master or slave operating box and uses its built-in processing algorithms or logic circuits to convert the received data. The conversion process includes data format changes and data encoding conversions, and the converted second data information is then sent to the master or slave operating box via the corresponding communication interface.

[0086] The first data information is converted and processed by the signal adapter box, and the converted second data information is sent to the main operation box or the slave operation box. This ensures accurate data transmission between different parts and facilitates the main operation box or the slave operation box to perform further processing or operation based on the converted second data information.

[0087] S104: The master control box or slave control box updates its own operating status based on the second data information.

[0088] Understandably, the main control box or the slave control box receives second data information from the signal conversion box through the corresponding communication interface. The operating system inside the main control box or the slave control box analyzes and processes the received second data information to determine key information related to the operation status, including embroidery progress and current working status.

[0089] The main control box or slave control box adjusts the corresponding parameter settings according to the embroidery progress, current working status, etc., and updates its display interface.

[0090] This process ensures that users can understand the status information of the embroidery process in real time. Users can make reasonable adjustments to the embroidery process based on the status information to ensure the smooth progress and high-quality completion of the embroidery.

[0091] This application provides a method for synchronous control of multiple operating heads in an embroidery machine. The method acquires user-inputted operation commands through a main control box or a slave control box, parses and processes these commands to obtain parsed first data information, sends this first data information to the main control box, and the main control box controls the embroidery machine to perform embroidery operations based on the first data information. A signal conversion box performs data conversion processing on the first data information to obtain converted second data information, which is then sent to the main control box or the slave control box. The main control box or the slave control box updates its own operating status based on the second data information. This method achieves synchronous control of multiple operating heads in an embroidery machine, facilitating user operation of the machine.

[0092] Figure 3 A flowchart of a multi-head synchronous control method for an embroidery machine provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 This embodiment is... Figure 2 Based on the embodiments, a possible implementation of the multi-operating head synchronous control method for embroidery machines is described in detail. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0093] S201: Determine whether the operation command comes from the main operation box; if yes, proceed to step S202; otherwise, proceed to step S203.

[0094] The operation instructions can be input through different input devices. The master operation box and the slave operation box each have different input interfaces. By determining the input interface of the operation instruction, the source of the operation instruction can be determined.

[0095] S202: The operation instructions are parsed and processed by the first operating system running in the main control box to obtain the parsed first data information, which includes: pattern parameters.

[0096] The first operating system is an embedded operating system. The embedded operating system receives operation instructions input by the user, parses and processes the operation instructions, and obtains parsed data information, which includes pattern parameters.

[0097] S203: The operation instructions are parsed and processed by the second operating system running in the operation box to obtain the parsed first data information, which includes: pattern parameters.

[0098] The second operating system is an embedded operating system of the same type as the first operating system. The embedded operating system receives operation instructions and parses and processes the operation instructions to obtain parsed data information, which includes pattern parameters.

[0099] S204: Send the pattern parameters to the main control box.

[0100] Understandably, the embedded operating system will convert the parsed initial data information into a certain standard communication protocol format and send the data to the main control box through a suitable communication interface.

[0101] S205: The main control box generates corresponding embroidery parameters based on the pattern parameters. The embroidery parameters include: embroidery frame movement path parameters and embroidery needle movement path parameters.

[0102] Among them, the embroidery frame movement path parameter describes the movement trajectory of the embroidery frame during the embroidery process, and the embroidery needle movement path parameter describes the movement trajectory of the embroidery needle on the embroidery.

[0103] Understandably, the main control box generates the above-mentioned embroidery frame movement path parameters and embroidery needle movement path parameters based on the input pattern parameters and through the built-in algorithm and calculation model, ensuring that the embroidery machine can perform precise embroidery operations according to the preset pattern and requirements, and achieve the expected embroidery effect.

[0104] S206: Control the embroidery machine to perform embroidery operations according to the preset pattern based on the embroidery frame movement path parameters and the embroidery needle movement path parameters.

[0105] Understandably, the main control box controls the movement of the embroidery frame based on the embroidery frame movement path parameters by: reading the target path point for the next moment from the embroidery frame movement path parameters, determining the movement distance from the current position of the embroidery frame to the target path point, calculating the motor control signal based on the movement speed of the embroidery frame in different areas or different embroidery stages, sending the control signal to the motor of the embroidery frame, and controlling the embroidery frame to move to the target position.

[0106] The main control box controls the movement of the embroidery needle according to the embroidery needle movement path parameters, including: reading the target path point for the next moment from the embroidery needle movement path parameters, determining the movement distance based on the current position and the target path point, and calculating the motor control signal based on the embroidery action parameters, including: stitch type, stitch spacing, stitch length and movement speed, sending the control signal to the motor of the embroidery needle, and controlling the embroidery needle to move to the target position.

[0107] During this process, it is also necessary to ensure that the movement of the embroidery frame and the embroidery needle is synchronized to maintain the precision and consistency of the embroidery. For example, a synchronization signal can be used to control the movement of the embroidery frame and the embroidery needle, and the positions of the embroidery frame and the embroidery needle can be monitored in real time to ensure that both reach the target position at the same time.

[0108] By receiving the movement path parameters of the embroidery frame and the movement path parameters of the embroidery needle, the embroidery machine can precisely control the movement of the embroidery frame and the embroidery needle and the embroidery action, ensuring that the embroidery operation is carried out according to the preset pattern.

[0109] S207: Determine whether the first data information comes from the main operation box; if yes, execute steps S208-S209; if no, execute steps S210-S211.

[0110] S208: The first data information is converted and processed through the signal adapter box to obtain the converted second data information, and the second data information is sent to the slave operation box.

[0111] Understandably, when the first data information comes from the main control box, the first data information is converted and processed through the signal adapter box.

[0112] When the first data information enters the signal adapter box, the signal adapter box processes the first data information according to a preset algorithm or rule, converting the first data information into a format suitable for transmission to the slave operation box, and then sends the converted second data information to the slave operation box through the network interface. The network interface can realize network communication through the TCP / IP protocol.

[0113] S209: The second data information is analyzed and processed by the second operating system running in the operation box to obtain the second operation status information, and the operation status of the operation box is updated according to the second operation status information.

[0114] Understandably, the embedded operating system running inside the operating box analyzes and processes the second data information, extracts the same operation status parameters as the first data information, obtains the second operation status information, modifies the operation status parameters of the slave operating box at the current moment based on the second operation status information, and updates the operation status of the slave operating box based on the modified status parameters, thereby achieving synchronization of the operation status of the slave operating box and the master operating box.

[0115] S210: The first data information is converted and processed through the signal adapter box to obtain the converted second data information, and the second data information is sent to the main operation box.

[0116] Understandably, when the first data information comes from the slave operation box, the first data information is converted and processed through the signal adapter box.

[0117] When the first data information enters the signal adapter box, the signal adapter box processes the first data information according to a preset algorithm or rule, converting the first data information into a format suitable for transmission to the main control box, and then sends the converted second data information to the main control box through the network interface. The network interface can realize network communication through the TCP / IP protocol.

[0118] S211: The second data information is analyzed and processed by the first operating system running in the main control box to obtain the first operation status information, and the operation status of the main control box is updated according to the first operation status information.

[0119] Understandably, the embedded operating system running in the main operating box analyzes and processes the second data information, extracts the same operation status parameters as the first data information, obtains the second operation status information, modifies the operation status parameters of the main operating box at the current moment based on the second operation status information, and updates the operation status of the main operating box based on the modified status parameters, thereby synchronizing the operation status of the main operating box and the slave operating box.

[0120] In an optional embodiment, a multi-head synchronous control method for an embroidery machine further includes: acquiring the current embroidery status information of the embroidery machine through a main control box, wherein the embroidery status information includes: embroidery frame position information, embroidery needle position information, embroidery speed, and embroidery pressure; the main control box sends the embroidery frame position information, embroidery needle position information, embroidery speed, and embroidery pressure information to a main control box and a slave control box through a communication interface; the main control box and the slave control box receive information from the main control box through their respective communication interfaces; a first operating system running in the main control box updates the embroidery status displayed in the main control box according to the embroidery frame position information, embroidery needle position information, embroidery speed, and embroidery pressure; a second operating system running in the slave control box updates the embroidery status displayed in the slave control box according to the embroidery frame position information, embroidery needle position information, embroidery speed, and embroidery pressure, so as to reflect the current status of the embroidery machine in real time.

[0121] This application provides a method for synchronous control of multiple operation heads in an embroidery machine. The method determines whether the operation command originates from the main control box. If the command originates from the main control box, a first operating system running within the main control box parses and processes the command to obtain parsed first data information, which includes pattern parameters. If the command originates from a slave control box, a second operating system running within the slave control box parses and processes the command to obtain parsed first data information, which also includes pattern parameters. The pattern parameters are then sent to the main control box. The main control box generates corresponding embroidery parameters based on the pattern parameters, including embroidery frame movement path parameters and embroidery needle movement path parameters. The method then controls the embroidery machine to perform embroidery operations according to a preset pattern based on the embroidery frame movement path parameters and the embroidery needle movement path parameters. By determining whether the first data information comes from the main operating box; if the first data information comes from the main operating box, the first data information is converted through a signal adapter box to obtain the converted second data information, which is then sent to the slave operating box; the second operating system running in the slave operating box analyzes and processes the second data information to obtain the second operating status information, and updates the operating status of the slave operating box according to the second operating status information; if the first data information comes from the slave operating box, the first data information is converted through a signal adapter box to obtain the converted second data information, which is then sent to the main operating box; the first operating system running in the main operating box analyzes and processes the second data information to obtain the first operating status information, and updates the operating status of the main operating box according to the first operating status information, thus improving the real-time synchronization of the operating status of the main and slave operating boxes.
