Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to embroidery machine yarn reel technical field, especially relate to a line frame with yarn color identification for embroidery machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The line frame for embroidery machine is mainly used for the installation of the bobbin, but its current function is single, and the color of the bobbin on the line frame needs to be changed frequently according to the pattern color on the computer embroidery machine, which can easily lead to the mismatch between the color of the bobbin and the pattern color. After the pattern color on the computer of the embroidery machine is designed, the color of the bobbin on the line frame is matched manually according to the pattern color on the computer. Since the types of the pattern color are various and the sequence is also various, such as the first bobbin is red, the second bobbin is blue, and the third bobbin is red again, the sequence of the yarn color on the bobbin can reach dozens of types, and the bobbin also needs to be changed after the pattern is changed. Not only is the workload heavy, but also the matching error is easy to occur. How to improve the rapid matching between the pattern color and the yarn color on the bobbin is the object of research for the technical personnel in the field. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The utility model provides a line frame for embroidery machine with rapid matching between pattern color and yarn color on bobbin, which is not easy to make mistakes and does not need to change the position of the bobbin after the pattern color is changed.

[0004] A line frame with yarn color identification for embroidery machine is provided, wherein the line frame is installed with a camera, the camera takes a photo of the bobbin installed on the line frame, and the yarn color on the bobbin obtained by the photo is matched with the pattern color on the computer of the embroidery machine. The line frame comprises a line frame base, the line frame base is installed with a bobbin, the outer periphery of the bobbin is provided with a wind shield connected with the outer periphery of the line frame base, the top of the wind shield is provided with a line frame cover, and the line frame cover is provided with a wire passing groove, a camera mounting groove, and a wire tube mounting groove. The line frame with yarn color identification for embroidery machine takes a photo of the bobbin installed on the line frame through the camera, and the yarn color on the bobbin obtained by the photo is matched with the pattern color on the computer of the embroidery machine. The design pattern color on the computer of the embroidery machine is adjusted based on the yarn color on the bobbin, that is, the position of the bobbin does not need to be adjusted after the installation of the bobbin, and only the matching pattern color needs to be adjusted. The position of the bobbin does not need to be adjusted again due to the change of the pattern color.

[0005] The bottom surface of the camera mounting groove is a slope, the middle of the slope is provided with a camera hole for passing through the camera lens, the bottom surface of the camera is attached to the slope, the top surface of the camera is clamped with the limiting column on the side of the camera mounting groove, the lower side of the limiting column is provided with an inclined block, the inclined block is attached to the side of the camera, the other side of the camera is provided with a pin hole, the pin hole is connected with the camera mounting groove through a pin shaft, the position of the camera can be adjusted by rotation, and of course the camera can be a camera or other similar equipment to realize the photo function of the bobbin.

[0006] The wire tube installation groove is connected to the clamping groove of the wire tube through the spring piece, and a wire passing hole is provided on the inner side of the wire tube, which is convenient for improving the yarn passing and windproof performance.

[0007] The utility model matches the color of the computerized pattern of the embroidery machine by taking a photo of the yarn color on the spool, which can help designers quickly identify and match colors. That is, the embroidery machine automatically matches the color of the yarn on the corresponding spool to the color of the designed pattern without manual color matching. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the thread stand for an embroidery machine with yarn color recognition capability according to the present invention;

[0010] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the centerline frame cover of the utility model;

[0011] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged structural diagram at B in the middle;

[0012] Figure 4 for Figure 2 A in the middle is an enlarged structural diagram;

[0013] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the center line tube of the present utility model. Specific implementation plan

[0014] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The specific implementation method further describes the technical solution of this patent in detail.

[0015] The invention discloses an embroidery machine thread stand with yarn color recognition. The thread stand 16 is equipped with a camera 19. The camera 19 takes a picture of a bobbin 21 mounted on the thread stand 16 and matches the yarn color on the bobbin obtained by the picture with the color of the computer pattern of the embroidery machine. The embroidery machine thread stand with yarn color recognition matches the yarn color on the bobbin obtained by the picture with the color of the computer pattern of the embroidery machine, avoiding the technical disadvantage of manually matching the yarn color on the bobbin based on the color of the computer pattern of the embroidery machine. That is, the utility model only needs to determine the color of the yarn on each bobbin, for example, the yarn on the first bobbin is red, the yarn on the second bobbin is green, and the yarn on the third bobbin is yellow. At this time, if the first embroidery color of the pattern on the computer embroidery machine is yellow, it only needs to match the third bobbin, and if the second embroidery color is red, it only needs to match the first bobbin. This avoids the technical disadvantage of manually adjusting the bobbin position due to changes in the pattern color, and also avoids the error rate problem of manual adjustment.

[0016] The wire rack 16 includes a base 22, onto which a spool 21 is mounted. A windshield is attached to the outer periphery of the spool 21, which is connected to the base 22. A wire rack cover 27 is located on top of the windshield. This cover 27 includes a wire channel 17, a camera mounting slot 18, and a wire conduit mounting slot 34. The camera mounting slot 18 has an inclined bottom surface with a camera hole 31 in the middle. This hole is for inserting the camera lens. The bottom of the camera fits into the inclined surface, while the top of the camera engages with a retaining post 33 on the side of the camera mounting slot 18. A tilting block 32 is located below the retaining post 33, which fits into the side of the camera. A pin hole 26 is located on the other side of the camera. This pin hole 26 connects to the camera mounting slot 18 via a pin, allowing for adjustment of the camera's shooting angle. The wire conduit mounting slot 34 engages with the slot 24 of the wire conduit 23 via a spring 36. A wire hole 25 is located inside the wire conduit 23, making it easier to install.

[0017] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of this patent, but this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of this patent.
