Sewing Machine Rhinestone Alignment Mark Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging to accurately determine the overall positioning of rhinestones on a cloth with a pre-sewn pattern, such as embroidery, as aligning the positions of multiple rhinestones with the pattern can be difficult.
Innovation Solution
A sewing machine equipped with a processor and memory that acquires reference data for the positional relationship between sewing and arrangement positions, displaying a mark to indicate the arrangement position corresponding to the sewing position, allowing for easier alignment of decorative components like rhinestones on the cloth.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple rhinestones are arranged on a transfer sheet to be adhered to a cloth with a pre-sewn pattern, then the decorative effect is improved, but it becomes difficult to determine overall positioning and align positions accurately with the pattern
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a mark image that copies the pattern image and displays it on a screen. This mark image includes position marks at the same positions as the pattern, allowing the user to visually align the rhinestones with the pattern by referencing the displayed mark image. This copying approach provides accurate positional guidance without requiring complex mechanical positioning systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mark image as an intermediary between the pattern and the rhinestones. The mark image serves as a visual mediator that indicates where each rhinestone should be placed relative to the pattern. This intermediary provides clear positional information that facilitates accurate alignment while maintaining ease of operation.
2Manufacturing precision
If the positions of multiple rhinestones are manually aligned with the pattern, then the decorative effect is improved, but the time and complexity of the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by displaying the mark image before the actual rhinestone placement. The mark image pre-indicates all the positions where rhinestones should be placed, allowing the user to quickly transfer the rhinestones to the correct positions without repeated measurement and adjustment. This preliminary visual guidance significantly reduces the time required for alignment while maintaining high positioning accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A sewing machine includes a sewing portion, a processor, and a memory. The sewing portion is configured to sew a pattern on a sewing object. The memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform the processes. The processes include the acquiring reference data representing a relative positional relationship between a sewing position and an arrangement position. The sewing position is a position of the pattern sewn on the sewing object by the sewing portion. The arrangement position is a position of a decorative component arranged on the sewing object. The processes include displaying, on the basis of the acquired reference data, a mark that indicates the arrangement position corresponding to the sewing position.
