Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fabrics, in particular to a weaving process for imitating towel embroidery of an embroidery machine and an embroidered product. Background Art
[0002] Traditional towel embroidery is a three-dimensional embroidery technique with a long history and unique charm. Through regularly woven thread loops, it creates a variety of exquisite patterns, giving the embroidery a sense of layering, three-dimensionality, and novelty. However, traditional towel embroidery's weaving method is relatively simple. It can only be created using a specific machine and thread, weaving rows of straight lines one by one. This makes it difficult to meet the growing demand of modern consumers for diversified and personalized embroidery products.
[0003] To enrich the expressive forms of towel embroidery and enhance its artistry and aesthetic appeal, some have attempted to simulate the effects of towel embroidery by employing random weaving, a technique known as imitation towel embroidery. Unlike traditional towel embroidery, imitation towel embroidery employs random weaving to create a freer, more spontaneous loop pattern, enhancing the three-dimensional layering and visual impact of the embroidery, injecting new vitality and creativity into the process.
[0004] Existing embroidery machine technology struggles to achieve the chaotic weaving effect of towel embroidery, failing to meet consumers' growing demand for novel embroidery products. The way traditional embroidery machines weave thread loops is too mechanical and standardized to simulate the chaotic weaving effect required for towel embroidery. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a weaving process and embroidered products imitating towel embroidery using an embroidery machine, and proposes a new embroidery machine technical means. Through programming control and other methods, random weaving of imitating towel embroidery can be achieved using any machine platform and any thread, thereby enriching the expression form of embroidery products, improving the artistic value of embroidery products, and satisfying consumers' pursuit of personalized embroidery products. The invention overcomes the shortcomings described in the background technology.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A weaving process for imitating towel embroidery on an embroidery machine comprises the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Prepare embroidery thread, base fabric and support;
[0009] Step 2: Embroidering a basic embroidery layer on the base fabric and reinforcing it with lock stitches to form an outer contour, and then stacking support pieces to form an intermediate embroidery piece;
[0010] Step 3: Generate towel embroidery trajectory data through the embroidery machine control system, wherein the towel embroidery trajectory data includes thread loop direction and position parameters. The driving device of the embroidery machine drives the bobbin case and bobbin on the intermediate embroidery piece and embroiders within the outer contour based on the towel embroidery trajectory data to form a random pattern effect imitating towel embroidery;
[0011] The loop direction and position parameters include:
[0012] A needle starting position, the needle starting position being the first position on the basic embroidery layer, from which the embroidery machine starts knitting;
[0013] Direction data, the direction data providing a traveling direction and a traveling range for the thread loop, the traveling direction can be a curve, a straight line, an irregular pattern direction, etc., and the traveling range is entirely within the basic embroidery layer;
[0014] The needle-retracting position is a second position on the basic embroidery layer, and the embroidery machine ends the knitting action from this position.
[0015] The imitation towel embroidery weaving process of the embroidery machine in the present invention abandons the traditional weaving method of embroidering towel embroidery one stitch at a time, and generates towel embroidery trajectory data through the embroidery machine control system. The direction trajectory characteristics presented by the generated towel embroidery trajectory data are: irregular and random, such as: irregular thread loop patterns. The embroidery products formed based on the aforementioned towel trajectory data have embroidery threads on the surface showing a random pattern effect of imitation towel embroidery. The weaving process in the present invention not only improves weaving efficiency but also enriches the expression form of embroidery products.
[0016] In some embodiments, the area of the support member in step 2 is greater than or equal to the area of the basic embroidery layer, and the area of the intermediate embroidery member is greater than the area of the embroidered pattern.
[0017] It enhances the structural stability and three-dimensional sense of the finished embroidery product, making the layering of the embroidery product more obvious.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first position and the second position may be the same position.
[0019] Starting and ending the stitches from the same position enhances the integrity of the finished embroidery product.
[0020] In some embodiments, step 3 further includes providing a color-changing mechanism, wherein the gears in the color-changing mechanism cooperate with the different bobbin cases and bobbins to achieve color change.
[0021] The embroidery machine has multiple bobbin cases and bobbins, each of which is wound with embroidery thread of a corresponding color. The gear in the color changing mechanism is matched with the bobbin case and bobbin, and the gear is specifically a loop gear.
[0022] In some embodiments, step 3 further includes adjusting the stitch density of the embroidery machine according to demand, and the stitch density ranges from 0.3 mm to 2.5 mm.
[0023] When the needle pitch is sparse, it can reduce costs to a certain extent; when the needle pitch is dense, the embroidery product is fuller and more three-dimensional. Generally, when the needle pitch is less than 1.2mm, the needle pitch is dense; when the needle pitch is greater than 1.2mm, the needle pitch is sparse.
[0024] In some embodiments, the weaving process further includes step 4: performing washing, finishing and thread trimming processes after the embroidery product is completed.
[0025] In some embodiments, the support member includes several layers of water-soluble slices and several layers of water-soluble films.
[0026] The number of water-soluble slices and water-soluble films required is selected according to the three-dimensional degree of the desired embroidery pattern. On the premise that the thickness of each water-soluble slice and water-soluble film is the same, the three-dimensional degree / raised height of the embroidery pattern can be adjusted by quantifying the number of water-soluble slices and water-soluble films.
[0027] The material of water-soluble slices and water-soluble films is usually polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The function of water-soluble slices and water-soluble films is to provide temporary support during the embroidery process to help form a three-dimensional effect, which can then be removed by washing with water.
[0028] In some embodiments, the water temperature used for water washing in step 4 is 40-50° C., and the treatment time is 25-35 minutes.
[0029] In some embodiments, the post-finishing comprises a steam ironing process, wherein the temperature of the steam ironing process is 110-180° C., and the processing time is 10-180 seconds.
[0030] The embroidery products are subjected to a steam ironing process, using 110-180 degrees Celsius and 10-180 seconds of steam shaping to make the lines of the embroidery pattern clearer and the outline more three-dimensional. The steam temperature and processing time can be adjusted reasonably according to specific needs.
[0031] In some embodiments, the imitation towel embroidery of the embroidery machine is formed by simultaneously interweaving multiple embroidery threads.
[0032] The interwoven embroidery threads create a more stable structure. Even if a thread breaks, the embroidery remains stable. Compared to traditional regular embroidery, a single thread breakage will not affect other parts of the embroidery, indirectly improving the quality and lifespan of the embroidery.
[0033] An embroidery product is woven by the aforementioned towel embroidery imitation weaving process.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0035] 1. The imitation towel embroidery weaving process of the present invention specifically adopts a random weaving process to produce embroidery products. This process uses multiple embroidery threads of different colors to weave in an interlaced manner. The process is simple and efficient, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional towel embroidery, which requires a cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and greatly improves the production efficiency of embroidery products.
[0036] 2. The fabric woven by the random pattern weaving process of the imitation towel embroidery in the present invention is interwoven with multiple embroidery threads, and has a strong and durable structure. It is not easy to have problems such as single wool thread breakage and entanglement, thereby improving the overall quality and service life of the embroidery product.
[0037] 3. The imitation towel embroidery weaving process of the present invention can simulate three-dimensional effects and patterns similar to traditional towel embroidery through its random weaving process and the color matching of embroidery thread, and can be applied to the production of embroidery products, giving the embroidery products a unique visual experience.
[0038] 4. Compared with the existing cashmere towel embroidery, the embroidery products produced by the random weaving process adopted in the present invention have better embroidery thread strength and durability due to the use of a structure in which multiple embroidery threads are interwoven, and have a longer service life, reducing the risk of damage to the embroidery products during use.

[0052] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a weaving process for imitating towel embroidery of an embroidery machine, comprising the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Prepare embroidery thread 1, base fabric 2 and support;
[0054] Step 2: Embroider a basic embroidery layer 3 on the base fabric 2 and reinforce it with lock stitches to form an outer contour 31, and then stack support pieces to form an intermediate embroidery piece 6;
[0055] Step 3: Generate towel embroidery trajectory data through the embroidery machine control system. The towel embroidery trajectory data includes thread loop direction and position parameters. The driving device of the embroidery machine drives the bobbin case and bobbin to embroider on the middle embroidery piece 6 and within the outer contour 31 based on the towel embroidery trajectory data, forming a random pattern effect imitating towel embroidery;
[0056] Wire loop direction and position parameters include:
[0057] The needle starting position is the first position on the basic embroidery layer 3, and the embroidery machine starts knitting from this position;
[0058] Direction data: The direction data provides the thread loop with a travel direction and a travel range. The travel direction can be a curve, a straight line, an irregular pattern, etc. The travel range is entirely within the basic embroidery layer 3;
[0059] The needle-reduction position is the second position on the basic embroidery layer 3, and the embroidery machine ends the knitting action from this position.
[0060] The embroidery machine control system generates the trajectory data for towel embroidery through the control program within the control system. Specifically, the control program generates the random embroidery trajectory through a random algorithm or manual editing. For example, the manual editing method inputs the random embroidery trajectory data according to the pattern, and performs tape recording, thread changes, and material placement as required.
[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, in step 2, the area of the support piece is greater than or equal to the area of the basic embroidery layer 3, and the area of the intermediate embroidery piece 6 is greater than the area of the embroidered pattern.
[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the first position and the second position may be the same position.
[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, step 3 further includes providing a color-changing mechanism, wherein the gears in the color-changing mechanism cooperate with different bobbin cases and bobbin cores to achieve color change.
[0064] When the embroidery machine is in use, the control system of the embroidery machine includes a judgment mechanism, that is, judging whether the color needs to be changed. If so, the color changing mechanism performs the color changing action and selects a new bobbin case and bobbin. If not, the embroidery machine continues to be controlled to perform the embroidery action.
[0065] That is, when the color of the embroidery thread 1 needs to be changed, the bobbin case and bobbin core corresponding to the current color are replaced with the bobbin case and bobbin core of the required color through the color changing mechanism, and then the embroidery machine continues the embroidery work.
[0066] The transmission cooperation can be meshing cooperation, that is, the loop gear is meshing cooperation with a plurality of bobbin cases and bobbin cores. Other equivalent transmission structures can also be selected.
[0067] The color-changing mechanism may be combined with common color-changing mechanism structures in the prior art.
[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, step 3 further includes adjusting the stitch density of the embroidery machine according to demand, and the stitch density ranges from 0.3 mm to 2.5 mm.
[0069] The needle distance can be selected as 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm. Of course, you can also select any other point value within the range of 0.3mm-2.5mm.
[0070] When the stitch length is less than 1.2mm, the stitch length is dense; when the stitch length is greater than 1.2mm, the stitch length is sparse. The density and sparseness of the stitch length determine the delicacy of the pattern on the embroidery product.
[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the weaving process further includes step 4: performing washing, finishing and thread trimming processes after the embroidery product is completed.
[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the support member includes several layers of water-soluble slices 4 and several layers of water-soluble films 5 .
[0073] For example, the water-soluble slices 4 are provided with three layers, and the water-soluble film 5 is provided with one layer.
[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the water temperature used for washing in step 4 is 40-50° C., and the treatment time is 25-35 minutes.
[0075] The water temperature for washing can be 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, or any other value within the 40-50°C range, with 45°C being the preferred temperature. Washing at 40-50°C promotes fiber swelling, making the fabric softer; it also helps remove impurities that clog fiber pores and improves the air permeability of the embroidery, especially in high-density embroidery areas with closely spaced stitches.
[0076] The washing time can be 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, or any other value within the range of 25-35 minutes, with 25 minutes being the preferred value. By combining a specific washing time with a corresponding water temperature, the embroidery product can be treated to achieve both the desired effect and processing efficiency, thereby indirectly reducing manufacturing costs to a certain extent.
[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the post-finishing comprises a steam ironing process, the temperature of the steam ironing process is 110-180° C., and the processing time is 10-180 seconds.
[0078] The temperature of the steam ironing process can be selected from 110°C, 120°C, 130°C, 140°C, 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, or any other point value within the range of 110-180°C, and the preferred value is 150°C.
[0079] The steam ironing process can be performed for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, or 180 seconds. The higher the steam ironing temperature, the shorter the time. For example, if the temperature is 110°C, the time can be 180 seconds; for example, if the temperature is 150°C, the time can be 90 seconds. Select the appropriate temperature and time for the steam ironing process based on the specific material characteristics.
[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the imitation towel embroidery of the embroidery machine is interwoven by multiple embroidery threads simultaneously.
[0081] The colors of the multiple embroidery threads can be the same color or include multiple colors, depending on the color of the finished embroidery pattern. For example, if the multiple embroidery threads are all the same color, the color of the finished embroidery pattern is single; if the multiple embroidery threads are multiple colors, the color of the finished embroidery pattern is richer.
[0082] Similarly, the specifications of multiple embroidery threads can be the same, such as 108D / 2 embroidery, or different specifications can be combined.
[0083] The present invention also provides an embroidery product, which is woven by the aforementioned towel embroidery imitation weaving process.
