[0002] As the garment industry shifts towards a flexible manufacturing model characterized by small batches, diverse varieties, and fast delivery, the application of automated garment production lines is becoming increasingly widespread. Current automated garment production lines utilize control systems that achieve automatic control, improving production efficiency and garment quality. However, long-term operation of these lines has revealed shortcomings in existing control systems, primarily in the following aspects:

[0003] When dynamic disturbances occur in the production line, such as temporary equipment failures, differences in employee operating speed, material supply delays, or the insertion of urgent orders, the system cannot adjust itself, resulting in backlogs in front of bottleneck processes, idle downstream processes, and a reduction in overall production efficiency.

[0004] Cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment, and conveying equipment on the production line usually operate independently, and especially during the production process, they cannot adaptively adjust according to the actual operating status, processing quality, production speed, environmental parameters, etc.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the adaptive operation control system for the automated garment production line in this invention.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a logic block diagram from the embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0024] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., which indicate directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an adaptive operation control system for an automated garment production line is disclosed. The automated garment production line includes cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment, and conveying equipment. The control system includes a control unit and an environmental detection unit, a garment parameter acquisition unit, a human-machine interaction unit, and an adaptive unit, which are respectively communicatively connected to the control unit. The adaptive unit is communicatively connected to the environmental detection unit, the garment parameter acquisition unit, and the data storage unit, and also includes a data storage unit that is communicatively connected to the adaptive unit.

[0027] In this invention, the environmental detection unit is used to detect the environmental parameters of the automated garment production line and transmit the environmental parameters to the adaptive unit, which can also transmit them to the control unit. In this embodiment, the environmental detection unit includes a temperature detection unit and a humidity detection unit.

[0028] In this invention, the garment parameter acquisition unit is used to acquire the parameters of the garment to be produced and transmit the parameters to the adaptive unit, which can also transmit them to the control unit at the same time.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this invention, the adaptive unit is used to obtain the corresponding theoretical operating parameters based on the parameters of the garment to be produced, obtain the corresponding environmental correction amount based on the environmental parameters, then use the environmental correction amount to correct the theoretical operating parameters to obtain the current operating parameters, and then transmit the current operating parameters to the control unit.

[0030] In this embodiment, the data storage unit stores a first table and a second table. The first table includes interrelated environmental parameters and environmental correction values, and the second table includes interrelated clothing parameters and theoretical operating parameters. The adaptive unit retrieves the corresponding environmental correction values ​​from the first table based on the environmental parameters and retrieves the corresponding theoretical operating parameters from the second table based on the clothing parameters to be produced. Of course, the adaptive unit obtains the environmental correction values ​​and theoretical operating parameters not only in the ways listed above, but also through a pre-set data model. This data model is constructed based on the environmental parameters and environmental correction values, clothing parameters, and ideal operating parameters.

[0031] It should be noted that the adaptive unit uses environmental correction to adjust the theoretical operating parameters. When the current operating parameters are obtained, the formula can be used to adjust the theoretical operating parameters: Current operating parameters = Theoretical operating parameters + Environmental correction. In other words, this invention uses real-time environmental parameters to adjust the theoretical operating parameters, achieving adaptive adjustment based on the current environment.

[0032] The human-machine interface (HMI) unit is used to input HMI signals for controlling the cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment, and conveying equipment. In this embodiment, the HMI unit includes a local interaction component and a remote interaction component. The local interaction component may include, but is not limited to, a touchscreen, an operation panel, etc., wherein the touchscreen may be, but is not limited to, the touchscreen of the cutting equipment, the touchscreen of the ironing equipment, the touchscreen of the sewing equipment, the touchscreen of the control center, etc. The remote interaction component may include the touchscreen of the remote monitoring center, the operation panel, etc. In this embodiment, the control system also includes a wireless communication unit electrically connected to the control unit. The wireless communication unit is wirelessly connected to the remote interaction component. The wireless communication unit may be, but is not limited to, GPS wireless communication, Bluetooth communication, infrared communication, Beidou satellite communication, etc.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adaptive operation control system for the automated garment production line of the present invention can store theoretical operating parameters and garment parameters in the data storage unit based on historical data. This allows the automated garment production line to operate automatically using the theoretical operating parameters at the beginning of operation. During operation, the environmental detection unit detects environmental parameters and transmits them to the adaptive unit. The adaptive unit then obtains the corresponding environmental correction amount based on the environmental parameters and corrects the theoretical operating parameters, thus achieving adaptive adjustment. Therefore, the adaptive operation control system for the automated garment production line of the present invention can adaptively adjust each piece of equipment according to the actual garments being processed and the environmental parameters, thereby improving production efficiency and garment quality. Furthermore, the present invention has the advantages of simple operation, ease of implementation, and low cost.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adaptive operation control system for the automated garment production line of the present invention further includes a correction unit and a production tracking unit, wherein the correction unit is communicatively connected to the production tracking unit and the adaptive unit, respectively.

[0035] The production tracking unit tracks the fabric flowing through the production line and transmits tracking signals to the correction unit. In this embodiment, the production tracking unit includes multiple tags, a cutting reader, an ironing reader, and a sewing reader. Each tag is wirelessly connected to the cutting reader, ironing reader, and sewing reader, respectively. The cutting reader, ironing reader, and sewing reader are each connected to the correction unit. The cutting reader is located around the cutting equipment; the ironing reader is located around the ironing equipment; the sewing reader is located around the sewing equipment; and the tags are placed on the fabric flowing through the production line. Furthermore, each of the cutting reader, ironing reader, and sewing reader can include one or more readers. When multiple readers are included, they can be placed in different processes to collect more accurate tracking signals. Of course, the production tracking unit is not limited to the tags and readers listed above; it can also use QR codes and barcode scanners. The QR code is affixed to the fabric, and the tracking signal is obtained by scanning it with barcode scanners placed at different locations.

[0036] The correction unit obtains the corresponding real-time correction amount based on the tracking signal and transmits the real-time correction amount to the adaptive unit. The adaptive unit uses the formula: Real-time operating parameter = Current operating parameter + Real-time correction amount to correct the current operating parameter, and then transmits the real-time operating parameter to the control unit. The control unit controls the cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment and conveying equipment based on the real-time operating parameter and human-machine interaction signal.

[0037] As can be seen, the present invention utilizes a correction unit and a production tracking unit to enable adaptive adjustment of operating parameters based on production progress, production processing speed, etc., thereby further improving production efficiency and garment quality.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adaptive operation control system for the automated garment production line of the present invention further includes a verification unit, which is connected in series between the adaptive unit and the control unit.

[0039] The adaptive unit transmits real-time operating parameters to the verification unit;

[0040] The verification unit is used to determine whether the real-time operating parameters are within the preset allowable range. If the real-time operating parameters are within the preset allowable range, the real-time operating parameters are transmitted to the control unit. If the real-time operating parameters are not within the preset allowable range, the real-time operating parameters are set to the current operating parameters, and then the real-time operating parameters are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit controls the cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment and conveying equipment according to the real-time operating parameters and human-machine interaction signals.

[0041] As can be seen, by utilizing the verification unit, this invention not only enables adaptive adjustments based on environment, production progress, and production speed, but also ensures the reliability of the entire automated garment production line.

[0042] This embodiment also includes a prompting unit, which is communicatively connected to the verification unit. If the real-time operating parameters are outside the preset allowable range, the prompting unit is triggered to issue a corresponding prompt. The prompting unit may include a display screen, LEDs, a speaker, etc. The prompting unit visually displays whether correcting the operating parameters is permissible, ensuring reliable operation of the entire automated garment production line while achieving adaptive operation.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive operation control system of the garment automated production line of the present invention also includes a quality inspection unit, which is communicatively connected to the control unit. The quality inspection unit is used to detect the production quality of each process and record the abnormal process and the number of abnormalities. When the number of abnormalities in the same process exceeds a preset threshold, the unit transmits the corresponding quality inspection signal to the control unit. The control unit controls the cutting equipment, ironing equipment, sewing equipment and / or conveying equipment according to the quality inspection signal. The control referred to here may include, but is not limited to, calling the calibration program, adjusting parameters, and stopping alarms.

[0044] In summary, the adaptive operation control system of the garment automated production line of the present invention enables the garment automated production line to adaptively adjust according to real-time environment, real-time production speed, production quality, etc., and automatically adjust ironing equipment, cutting equipment, sewing equipment, conveying equipment, etc., so as to improve production efficiency and garment quality.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, or improvements to the adaptive operation control system of an equivalent automated garment production line, should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
