[0002] In automated textile equipment, the needle selector is a core component, used to control the raising and lowering of the knitting needles to achieve the weaving of complex patterns. The performance of the needle selector directly affects knitting efficiency, accuracy, and pattern complexity. Currently, electronic needle selectors mainly come in two types: electromagnetic and piezoelectric.

[0003] Electromagnetic needle selectors operate by switching on and off an electromagnet coil, but they suffer from problems such as electromagnetic interference, high energy consumption, severe heat generation, large size, and slow response. Piezoelectric ceramic needle selectors utilize the piezoelectric effect for driving, offering advantages such as low energy consumption, low heat generation, small size, and fast response, but they have weak driving capability, high cost, complex driving circuitry, and require high voltage.

[0004] Currently, most piezoelectric ceramic needle selectors use optocoupler drive, but optocouplers have problems such as weak driving capability, high cost, and high delay, making it difficult to meet the requirements of complex knitting patterns for high response speed and strong driving capability.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the needle selection drive circuit of the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector provided in this application; Figure 2This is a circuit diagram of one embodiment of the signal input circuit provided in this application. The pin selection drive circuit 100 of this embodiment includes a signal input circuit 20, a drive circuit 30, an overcurrent feedback circuit 40, and a protection circuit 50.

[0043] The signal input circuit 20 is connected to the control bus 10 and is used to receive multiple control signals, pin enable signals and chip select signals from the control bus 10, and output multiple control drive signals based on the multiple control signals, pin enable signals and chip select signals.

[0044] Optionally, the control bus 10 is a channel for transmitting control signals, transmitting control signals from a control circuit (not shown, such as a microcontroller) to the signal input circuit 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, after receiving multiple control signals, a pin select enable signal, and a chip select signal, the signal input circuit 20 converts the multiple control signals into multiple control drive signals according to the chip select signal when the pin select enable signal is active. For example, the control level of the drive circuit 30 is updated by using the rising edge of the chip select signal. The multiple control drive signals have a corresponding relationship with the multiple control signals, for example, many to one. In other embodiments, the correspondence between the multiple control drive signals and the multiple control signals is one-to-one or one-to-many.

[0046] The signal input circuit 20 includes, but is not limited to, a logic chip. In some embodiments, the signal input circuit 20 receives eight control signals from the control bus 10. The signal input circuit 20 includes a first logic chip 21 and a second logic chip 22, which share the eight control signals emitted by the control bus 10.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, both the first logic chip 21 and the second logic chip 22 include D0-D7 input pins, / OE input pins, and Q0-Q7 output pins. The first logic chip 21 includes a CP_P input pin, and the second logic chip 22 includes a CP_N input pin. The D0-D7 input pins of the first and second logic chips 21 and 22 are used to receive 8 control signals. The / OE input pins of the first and second logic chips 21 and 22 are used to receive select pin enable signals. The Q0-Q7 output pins of the first and second logic chips 21 and 22 correspond one-to-one with the D0-D7 output pins, and are used to output 16 control drive signals. The CP_P input pin of the first logic chip 21 and the CP_N input pin of the second logic chip 22 are used to receive chip select signals.

[0048] By adopting a time-sharing drive approach, different piezoelectric ceramic needle selectors can be controlled under the same hardware control bus 10, which greatly saves the resources of the control chip.

[0049] The drive circuit 30 is electrically connected to the signal input circuit 20 and the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, respectively, and is used to receive multiple control drive signals and output multiple drive signals to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 based on the multiple control drive signals.

[0050] In some embodiments, the input terminal of the drive circuit 30 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the signal input circuit 20, and the output terminal of the drive circuit 30 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60. The drive circuit 30 receives multiple control drive signals from the signal input circuit 20, converts the multiple control drive signals into multiple drive signals, and transmits the multiple drive signals to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60. In this embodiment, the correspondence between the multiple drive signals and the multiple control drive signals is one-to-many. For example, if the drive circuit 30 receives 16 control drive signals and outputs 8 drive signals, then the correspondence between the multiple drive signals and the multiple control drive signals is one-to-two.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit 30 receives multiple control driving signals through the Q0 to Q7 output pins of the first logic chip 21 and the second logic chip 22.

[0052] The overcurrent feedback circuit 40 is connected to the drive circuit 30 and is used to detect overcurrent in the needle selection drive circuit 100. When the current of the needle selection drive circuit 100 is greater than the preset current limit value, an overcurrent alarm signal is output.

[0053] Optionally, if the piezoelectric ceramic plate of the piezoelectric ceramic selector fails and short-circuits, the current in the selector drive circuit 100 may exceed the preset current limit value.

[0054] The protection circuit 50 is connected to the overcurrent feedback circuit 40, the signal input circuit 20 and the control bus 10 respectively. It is used to receive the overcurrent alarm signal, output the pin selection enable signal based on the overcurrent alarm signal, and control the drive circuit 30 to stop outputting the drive signal.

[0055] By adding an overcurrent feedback circuit 40 and a protection circuit 50, the drive circuit 30 can be shut down in time during an overcurrent fault, effectively reducing the loss from the fault.

[0056] The drive circuit 30 includes multiple switching transistors, each corresponding to a control drive signal. The drive circuit 30 controls the multiple switching transistors to turn on or off based on the control drive signals, and outputs the drive signals to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60. The piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 has multiple piezoelectric ceramic plates corresponding to the drive signals. The piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 controls the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic plate to deform based on the drive signals, driving the needle selector corresponding to the piezoelectric ceramic plate.

[0057] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the multiple switching transistors and the multiple control drive signals is one-to-one. In other embodiments, the correspondence between the multiple switching transistors and the multiple control drive signals is one-to-many or many-to-one.

[0058] Optionally, the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 has 8 piezoelectric ceramic plates inside, which correspond one-to-one with 8 driving signals. The piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 utilizes the inverse piezoelectric effect to generate micro-deformation by applying high voltage to different piezoelectric ceramic plates. The deformation is amplified by the mechanical structure to drive the needle selection lever to move. After the high voltage is removed, the deformation is restored and the position of the needle selection lever is returned to normal.

[0059] Optionally, the piezoelectric ceramic plate inside the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 has a corresponding relationship with the needle selector lever, such as one-to-one or one-to-many.

[0060] In some embodiments, the microcontroller transmits multiple control signals, a pin selection enable signal, and a chip select signal to the signal input circuit 20 via the control bus 10. The signal input circuit 20 converts the multiple control signals into multiple control drive signals based on the valid pin selection enable signal and chip select signal, and sends these control drive signals to the drive circuit 30. The drive circuit 30 generates multiple drive signals based on the multiple control drive signals and sends these drive signals to the piezoelectric ceramic pin selector 60, so that the piezoelectric ceramic pin selector 60 drives the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic chip to produce chips according to the multiple drive signals. The deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 drives the needle selector lever corresponding to the piezoelectric ceramic plate to move. At the same time, the overcurrent feedback circuit 40 performs overcurrent detection on the needle selector drive circuit 100. When the current of the needle selector drive circuit 100 is detected to be greater than the preset current limit value, an overcurrent alarm signal is generated and output. The protection circuit 50 receives the overcurrent alarm signal through the overcurrent feedback circuit 40 and generates and outputs a needle selector enable signal in the failure state according to the overcurrent alarm signal. The signal input circuit 20 controls the drive circuit 30 to stop outputting the drive signal according to the needle selector enable signal in the failure state, so that the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 stops operating.

[0061] Optionally, when the overcurrent feedback circuit 40 detects that the current of the needle selection drive circuit 100 is less than the preset current limit value, the protection circuit 50 outputs a valid needle selection enable signal.

[0062] In this embodiment, the signal input circuit 20 receives multiple control signals and outputs multiple control drive signals to the drive circuit 30. Multiple switching transistors in the drive circuit 30 can be turned on and off according to the corresponding control drive signals, and output drive signals to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, so that the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 controls the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic sheet to deform, thereby driving the needle selector corresponding to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet to move. Compared with the optocoupler drive method, this application uses a drive circuit 30 composed of multiple switching transistors to drive the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, which significantly improves the driving capability, reduces the cost, and has low latency, thereby meeting the requirements of complex knitting patterns for high response speed and strong driving capability.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the sub-driving circuit provided in this application. The driving circuit 30 of this embodiment includes a plurality of sub-driving circuits 31. Each sub-driving circuit 31 receives a corresponding control driving signal from the signal input circuit 20. The plurality of sub-driving circuits 31 are correspondingly arranged with a plurality of piezoelectric ceramic sheets. Each sub-driving circuit 31 includes at least one switching transistor.

[0064] In some embodiments, multiple sub-driving circuits 31 correspond to multiple control driving signals, for example, one-to-many. Each sub-driving circuit 31 includes at least one switching transistor. The sub-driving circuit 31 receives the corresponding control driving signal through the signal input circuit 20 and controls the switching transistor to turn on or off according to the control driving signal to generate and output a driving signal. Each sub-driving circuit 31 corresponds to a multiple piezoelectric ceramic sheet. The piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 receives the driving signal through the driving circuit 30 and drives the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic sheet according to the driving signal.

[0065] For example, the drive circuit 30 receives 16 control drive signals from the signal input circuit 20. The drive circuit 30 includes 8 sub-drive circuits 31, and the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60 includes 8 piezoelectric ceramic plates. The correspondence between the 8 sub-drive circuits 31 and the 16 control drive signals is one-to-two, and the 8 sub-drive circuits 31 correspond one-to-one with the 8 piezoelectric ceramic plates. The sub-drive circuit 31 receives the two corresponding control drive signals, generates and outputs the drive signal corresponding to the control drive signal, and drives the corresponding piezoelectric ceramic plate.

[0066] The driving circuit 30 in this embodiment includes multiple sub-driving circuits 31. By setting multiple sub-driving circuits 31 in correspondence with multiple piezoelectric ceramic plates, the movement of the piezoelectric ceramic plates corresponding to the sub-driving circuits 31 can be precisely controlled, ensuring that each piezoelectric ceramic plate can move independently according to specific needs, thereby achieving precise driving of the needle selection lever and meeting the needle selection accuracy requirements of complex knitting patterns.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 As shown, each sub-driving circuit 31 in this embodiment includes a first switching transistor Q1 and a second switching transistor Q2. The first end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the high voltage source +200V of the needle selection driving module 200, the second end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, and the third end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the signal input circuit 20. The first end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the common terminal COM of the needle selection driving module 200, the second end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected between the second end of the first switching transistor Q1 and the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, and the third end of the second switching transistor Q2 is connected to the signal input circuit 20.

[0068] The common terminal COM refers to the physical port or logic interface shared by multiple circuits in the pin selection drive circuit 100. The common terminal can be a live wire, neutral wire, positive or negative terminal, and is used to provide a stable reference potential for the circuits in the pin selection drive circuit 100 (such as the drive circuit 30 and the overcurrent feedback circuit 40).

[0069] See Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a pin diagram of one embodiment of the needle selection drive module provided in this application. The needle selection drive module 200 of this embodiment integrates a signal input circuit 20, a drive circuit 30, an overcurrent feedback circuit 40, a protection circuit 50, and a piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60.

[0070] In this embodiment, multiple needle selection drive modules 200 are mounted on a single control bus 10, enabling a single control bus 10 to control multiple piezoelectric ceramic needle selectors 60.

[0071] Optionally, the third terminal of the first switch Q1 is connected to an output pin of the first logic chip 21 through another transition circuit; the third terminal of the second switch Q2 is connected to an output pin of the second logic chip 22 through another transition circuit, and the output pin of the second logic chip 22 corresponds to the output pin of the first logic chip 21; at this time, the sub-driving circuit 31 receives two control driving signals, controls the conduction and disconnection of the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 according to the two control driving signals, and outputs a driving signal.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the IN_P1 input pin of the sub-driver circuit 31 corresponds to the Q0 output pin of the first logic chip 21, and the IN_N1 input pin of the sub-driver circuit 31 corresponds to the Q0 output pin of the second logic chip 22. Optionally, the O1 output pin of the sub-driver circuit 31 is used to output a drive signal corresponding to the two control drive signals output by the two Q0 output pins. Further, since the driver circuit 30 includes eight sub-driver circuits 31, the driver circuit 30 includes O1 to O8 output pins for outputting eight drive signals.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 of the sub-drive circuit 31 form a driving half-bridge. The first switch Q1 is the upper bridge arm, with its source connected to the high-voltage source +200V and its drain connected to the output terminal of the sub-drive circuit 31. The second switch Q2 is the lower bridge arm, with its source connected to the common terminal COM and its drain connected to the output terminal of the sub-drive circuit 31. The output terminal of the sub-drive circuit 31 is connected to the input terminal of the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60. By controlling the on / off state of the first switch Q1 and the second switch Q2 respectively, high and low voltages are output to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet of the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60.

[0074] For example, when the first switch Q1 is turned on and the second switch Q2 is turned off, the sub-drive circuit 31 outputs a high-level drive signal to the piezoelectric ceramic needle selector 60, driving the piezoelectric ceramic sheet corresponding to the sub-drive circuit 31.
