Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing design, and in particular to a knitting method and knitting device. [Background technology]

[0002] A knitted shirt is a processed product of knitting fabric made by knitting various raw materials and varieties of yarns with knitting needles and then joining them together, that is, a garment knitted with knitting needles. Knitting mainly includes hand knitting and machine knitting, and commercially available knitted shirts are mainly processed by machine knitting, which realizes mass production of knitted shirts and reduces the production costs of knitted shirts.

[0003] However, conventional machine-knitted knit shirts are obtained by knitting yarns to form multiple knitted sheets including sleeves, front body, and back body by a knitting machine, and then sewing the multiple knitted sheets with knitting needles. The knit shirts made by this method have many seams, the knitting process is complicated, and the stitching between the mismatched knitted sheets is likely to occur, which increases the defective rate of the product. In addition, in order to ensure the fastness of the seams during the knitting process, it is necessary to leave some of the knitted sheets at the seams in advance to avoid the occurrence of the problem of fraying. Thus, the presence of many seams increases the amount of woolen fabric or knitting yarn required to make one knit shirt, and further increases the production cost of the knit shirt. In addition, the presence of many seams makes it difficult to process a continuous pattern or shape at the seams, which restricts the design of the pattern or shape of the knit shirt.

[0017] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention clearer and more comprehensible, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, many specific details are described to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in many other forms different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 1, the present invention provides a knitting method 10 with low production cost, high yield and beneficial to product shaping. As shown in Fig. 4, the system used by the knitting method 10 includes: a data collection module 310 for identifying the graphics or instructions of the knitting pattern 20; a control module 330 for storing the pattern data and controlling the knitting path of the knitting needles 320; a driving module 340 connected to the control module 330 for driving the knitting needles 320 to operate under the control of the control module 330; and a status monitoring module 350 for obtaining the current operating status of the knitting needles 320 and feeding back the status data to the control module 330. Note that the knitting sheet here can be understood as a target knitting panel, and in other embodiments, the knitting sheet and the target knitting panel are both used to indicate the knitting sheet after knitting.

[0019] 2 and 3, the knitting pattern 20 used in the knitting method 10 of the present invention includes a front body 210 that is integrally connected, a left sleeve sheet 220 and a right sleeve sheet 230 that are connected to both sides of the front body 210, a back body 240 that connects the left sleeve sheet 220 and the right sleeve sheet 230 and corresponds to the front body 210, and a neck 250 adjacent to the front body 210, the left sleeve sheet 220, the right sleeve sheet 230, and the back body 240, respectively. The front body 210 is of an integral structure or includes a first sheet 211 connected to the left sleeve sheet 220 and a second sheet 212 connected to the right sleeve sheet 230. When the front body 210 used is a pattern of knitting needles 320 with an integral structure, the knit shirt obtained by sewing together is a pullover, and when the front body 210 used is a split type first sheet 211 and second sheet 212, the knit shirt obtained by sewing together is a cardigan.

[0020] Referring again to FIG. 1, the knitting method 10 of the present invention includes the following steps S1) to S4). S1), the data collection module 310 collects graphics or instructions of the knitting pattern 20 to form pattern information.

[0021] Specifically, the data collection module 310 can not only obtain 1:1 graphic information of the pattern of the knitting needles 320 and send the graphic information to the control module 330, but also obtain digital instructions related to the knitting pattern 20 and send the digital instructions to the control module 330, and the control module 330 performs integrated transcoding processing on the graphic information or digital instructions to form a digital signal.

[0022] S2), the control module 330 receives the pattern information sent from the data collection module 310, determines the knitting type based on the pattern information, defines the knitting start position, knitting direction, knitting point position and stitch path under different knitting types, and encodes each knitting point in the pattern.

[0023] Specifically, the control module 330 determines the formation type by comparing the graphic information sent from the data collection module 310 with the pattern type pre-stored in the control module 330, and designs a corresponding formation path based on the formation type. In one embodiment, the knitting type includes cardigan knitting and pullover knitting. When the knitting type is cardigan knitting, the shape of the knitting pattern 20 is shown in FIG. 3, in which the control module 330 controls the drive module 340 to adjust the knitting needle 320 to knit the knitting yarn in a V-shaped path, the knitting start position starts from the first sheet 211 or the second sheet 212 of the knitting pattern 20, and the knitting course refers to the movement of the arrowed curve b in FIG. 3. When the knitting type is pullover knitting, the shape of the knitting pattern 20 is shown in FIG. 2, in which the control module 330 controls the drive module 340 to adjust the knitting needle 320 to knit the knitting yarn in a horizontal path or a vertical path, the knitting start position can start from any one of the front body 210, the left sleeve sheet 220, the right sleeve sheet 230, and the back body 240, and the knitting course refers to the movement of the arrowed curve a in FIG. 2.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S2, the coding information of each knitting point includes the coordinate parameters of the knitting point and the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320. That is, every time the knitting needle 320 knits at one knitting point position, the driving module 340 adjusts the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320 under the action of the control module 330, for example, knitting in the same direction or knitting in the opposite direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the position of each knitting point is determined jointly by parameters such as the shape of the pattern, the size of the knitting yarn, the knitting density and knitting pattern of the target knitting panel, etc. When the knitting point position and the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320 are determined, the knitting needle 320 performs the knitting operation at each knitting point under the control of the driving module 340, thereby forming a knitted sheet.

[0026] S3), the control module 330 sends an instruction to the drive module 340 to drive the knitting needles 320 to knit a serpentine pattern along a V-shaped path, or knit a crisscross pattern along a horizontal or vertical path.

[0027] 3, when the knitting type is cardigan knitting, the knitting needles 320 start from the second sheet 212 of the knitting pattern 20, knit the right sleeve sheet 230, the back body 240 and the left sleeve sheet 220 in order, and finally knit the first sheet 211, completing the knitting work of the knitted sheets at the end of the first sheet 211. It is also possible to start from the first sheet 211 and knit the second sheet 212 in the reverse order. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when the knitting type is pullover knitting, the knitting needle 320 starts from the front body 210 of the knitting pattern 20, and when knitting the connection between the front body 210 and the left sleeve sheet 220 and the right sleeve sheet 230, the knitting needle 320 knits back and forth between the left sleeve sheet 220 and the right sleeve sheet 230, and after completing the knitting work of the left sleeve sheet 220 and the right sleeve sheet 230, continues knitting the back body 240, and ends the knitting work of the knitted sheet at the end of the back body 240. The knitting may be performed in reverse order from the back body 240 to the front body 210, thereby realizing the knitting of the vertical path of the knitted sheet. Similarly, the knitting may start from the left sleeve sheet 220, knit back and forth between the front body 210 and the back body 240, and then proceed to knit the right sleeve sheet 230, or the knitting may be performed in reverse order from the right sleeve sheet 230 to the left sleeve sheet 220, thereby realizing the knitting of the horizontal path of the knitted sheet.

[0028] S4), when the knitting needle 320 moves to the contour boundary position of the target knitting panel or the direction change position of the knitting path, the status monitoring module 350 sends operation information to the control module 330, and the control module 330 controls the driving module 340 to adjust the operation of the knitting needle 320, and continues until the knitting work of the target knitting panel is completed.

[0029] As can be understood, the status monitoring module 350 is used to detect the knitting process of the knitting needle 320 and alert the control module 330 when the knitting needle 320 reaches the knitting contour position of the knitting pattern 20, so that the control module 330 controls the driving module 340 to adjust the knitting parameters of the knitting needle 320, or after the knitting operation is completed, feed back the knitting status of the knitting needle 320 to the control module 330, so that the control module 330 controls the driving module 340 to stop the output, i.e., stop the knitting operation of the knitting needle 320.

[0030] After the knitting of the target panel is completed, the target panel can be overlapped along the sleeve centerline of the target panel, two seams can be formed, and the seams can be sewn to produce a knitted shirt. In actual production, depending on the production conditions, the target panel can be overlapped to form a seam manually, and the seams can be sewn by a sewing mechanism, or a manipulator controlled by the control module 330 can be installed externally or developed in the knitting device 30 to complete the overlapping of the target panel, and at the same time, the sewing mechanism can be controlled and called up by the control module 330 as a part of the entire knitting device 30, to realize the automated production of knitted shirts.

[0031] During the overlapping process of the target knitting panel, it is necessary to define the sleeve center line of the target knitting panel, that is, the connecting line of the center line of the left sleeve sheet 220 and the center line of the right sleeve sheet 230 of the knitting pattern 20, according to different knitting types, in the case of cardigan knitting, the connecting line of the center line can refer to the dashed line d in Fig. 3, and the overlapping direction can refer to the arrowed curve f, and in the case of pullover knitting, the connecting line of the center line can refer to the dashed line c in Fig. 2, and the overlapping direction can refer to the arrowed curve e. Then, the target knitting panel is folded back along the position and movement of the sleeve center line, thus forming one seam at the connecting position of the left sleeve and the hem of the target knitting panel respectively and at the connecting position of the right sleeve and the hem, and the seam is sewn to obtain the knit shirt shown in Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, and the seam g shown in Fig. 5 and the seam h shown in Fig. 6 are the seams of this embodiment.

[0032] The present invention further discloses a knitting device 30, which includes a knitting pattern 20, a data collection module 310, a control module 330, knitting needles 320, a drive module 340 and a status monitoring module 350, and the knitting pattern 20 includes a front body 210 that is integrally connected, a left sleeve sheet 220 and a right sleeve sheet 230 that are respectively connected to both sides of the front body 210, a back body 240 that connects the left sleeve sheet 220 and the right sleeve sheet 230 and corresponds to the front body 210, and a collar 250 adjacent to the front body 210, the left sleeve sheet 220, the right sleeve sheet 230 and the back body 240, respectively, and the front body 210 is of an integral structure or includes a first sheet 211 connected to the left sleeve sheet 220 and a second sheet 212 connected to the right sleeve sheet 230. When the front body 210 of the pattern of the knitting needles 320 is of a one-piece structure, the knit shirt obtained by sewing them together is a pullover, and when the front body 210 of the pattern of the knitting needles 320 is of a split type first sheet 211 and second sheet 212, the knit shirt obtained by sewing them together is a cardigan.

[0033] The data collection module 310 is used to identify the graphics or instructions of the knitting pattern 20, and includes an image collection unit and a digital model collection unit. In one embodiment, the data collection module 310 acquires the graphic content of the knitting pattern 20 through software, or acquires the instructions of the knitting pattern 20 through a drawing plug-in unit. For example, the data collection module 310 may include input software with a drawing plug-in unit, which is used to acquire the knitting pattern 20, for example, a tablet computer capable of drawing graphics is placed in the control module 330, and thus, by inputting the drawing instructions, the graphics or instructions of the knitting pattern 20 can be transmitted into the control module 330, and the operator can carry out the next process of production based on the input graphics or instructions of the knitting pattern 20.

[0034] The control module 330 is used to receive the pattern information transmitted from the data collection module, determine the knitting type based on the pattern information, define the knitting start position, knitting direction, knitting point position and stitch path under different knitting types, and model the knitting point.

[0035] In one embodiment, an information conversion plug-in unit is pre-installed in the control module 330, which can convert the received graphic information or digital information of the knitting pattern 20 into digital coordinate information, respectively, thereby facilitating modeling of the knitting points associated with the knitting pattern 20.

[0036] In one embodiment, the knitting type includes cardigan knitting and pullover knitting, and when the knitting type is cardigan knitting, the knitting yarn is knitted using a V-shaped path, and when the knitting type is pullover knitting, the knitting yarn is knitted using a horizontal path or a vertical path. Specifically, when the knitting yarn is knitted using a V-shaped path, the knitting start position starts from the first sheet 211 or the second sheet 212 of the knitting pattern 20, and the knitting course refers to the movement of the arrowed curve b in Figure 3, and when the knitting yarn is knitted using a horizontal path or a vertical path, the knitting start position can start from any one of the front body 210, the left sleeve sheet 220, the right sleeve sheet 230, and the back body 240, and the knitting course refers to the movement of the arrowed curve a in Figure 2.

[0037] Further, in one embodiment, the modeling information of the knitting points includes the coordinate parameters of each knitting point and the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320. That is, every time the knitting needle 320 knits at one knitting point position, the driving module 340 adjusts the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320, for example, co-knitting or reverse knitting, under the action of the control module 330. The position of each knitting point is determined jointly by parameters such as the shape of the pattern, the size of the knitting yarn, the knitting density and knitting pattern of the target knitting panel, etc. When the knitting point position and the deflection angle of the knitting needle 320 are determined, the knitting needle 320 performs the knitting operation at each knitting point under the control of the driving module 340, thereby forming a knitted sheet.

[0038] The knitting needles 320 are used to punch the knitting yarn and perform the designated knitting operation, including knitting a serpentine pattern along a V-shaped path, or knitting a crisscross pattern along a horizontal path or a vertical path. In addition, the knitting device 30 of this embodiment further includes a machine table, which is used to place the knitting sheet after molding and provide a working platform for the knitting operation, and of course, a housing, which is used to accommodate each module and package and protect each module.

[0039] The driving module 340 is connected to the control module 330 and is driven under the control of the control module 330 to adjust the knitting path of the knitting needles 320 to knit the integrated panel, i.e., the target knitting panel. In one embodiment, the driving module 340 includes and operates two plate slide rails, and thus the control module 330 can further adjust the position of the knitting needles 320 by controlling the two plate slide rails. Of course, other driving devices may be used to replace the driving module 340 of this embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0040] The status monitoring module 350 is used to obtain the current working state of the knitting needle 320 and feed back the status data to the control module 330, and the control module 330 adjusts the operation of the driving module 340 based on the feedback. In one embodiment, the status monitoring module 350 alerts the control module 330 when the knitting needle 320 reaches the knitting contour position of the knitting pattern 20 during the knitting process of the knitting needle 320, so that the control module 330 can control the driving module 340 to adjust the knitting parameters of the knitting needle 320 to realize the correction of the error operation of the knitting needle 320, and also feeds back the knitting state of the knitting needle 320 to the control module 330 after the knitting operation is completed, so that the control module 330 can control the driving module 340 to stop the output, that is, stop the knitting operation of the knitting needle 320. Note that the monitoring process of the knitting needle 320 by the status monitoring module 350 may be performed in real time, or may send the status information of the knitting needle 320 to the control module 330 according to a predetermined period, for example, once every second, and can be determined according to the specific production conditions.

[0041] In one embodiment, the target knitting panels are knitted, then overlapped and sewn together to obtain a knitted shirt. The sewing operation of the target knitting panels may be controlled and adjusted by the control module 330, or may be controlled and operated by an external control device. The overlapping operation of the target knitting panels may be performed by manually overlapping the target knitting panels to form a seam, or may be completed by externally installing or developing a manipulator controlled by the control module 330 in the knitting device 30 to achieve automated production of the knitted shirt.

[0042] During the overlapping process of the target knitting panel, it is necessary to define the sleeve center line of the target knitting panel, that is, the connecting line of the center line of the left sleeve sheet 220 and the center line of the right sleeve sheet 230 of the knitting pattern 20. According to different knitting types, if it is a pullover knitting, the connecting line of the center line can refer to the dashed line d in FIG. 3, and the overlapping direction can refer to the arrowed curve f. If it is a cardigan knitting, the connecting line of the center line can refer to the dashed line c in FIG. 2, and the overlapping direction can refer to the arrowed curve e. Then, the target knitting panel is folded back along the position and movement of the sleeve center line. In this way, one seam is formed at the connecting position of the left sleeve and the hem of the target knitting panel and the connecting position of the right sleeve and the hem of the target knitting panel, respectively, and the seam is sewn to obtain the knit shirt shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6. The seam g shown in FIG. 5 and the seam h shown in FIG. 6 are the seams of this embodiment.

[0043] The knitting method 10 and knitting device 30 embodying the present invention use a knitting pattern 20 with an integrated structure, and determine the knitting type based on the pattern structure by the control module 330, define and create knitting parameters and knitting point models related to the knitting pattern 20, and then control the driving module 340 based on the knitting parameters and knitting point model data to drive the knitting needles 320 to work along a predetermined knitting path, thereby obtaining a target knitting panel that matches the shape of the knitting pattern 20, and thus overlapping the target knitting panels, and then forming a knitting pattern between the left sleeve and the front and back hems of the shirt body. , and seams are only formed between the right sleeve and the front and back hems of the shirt body, reducing the number of seams to two, reducing the difficulty of processing the knitted shirt and making it less likely that problems such as incorrect stitching will occur when sewing the knitted sheet, effectively improving the yield of the knitted shirt, and reducing the number of seams while simultaneously reducing the amount of knitting yarn lost at the seams, thereby reducing the production costs of the knitted shirt. By placing the seams at the bottom of the left and right sleeve bodies, it is easy to place patterns or shapes in multiple positions on the knitted shirt, thereby expanding the area that can be patterned on the knitted shirt and benefiting the improvement of the market competitiveness of the product.

[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any combination. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.
