Spinning Pattern Setting Apparatus Real-Time Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional spinning-pattern setting apparatuses for spinning machines require repetitive and time-consuming parameter adjustments to achieve desired design outcomes, as operators must manually modify and re-display pictorial images until they match the intended design, leading to inefficiencies in the spinning pattern setting process.
Innovation Solution
A spinning-pattern setting apparatus that includes a parameter input unit, a pattern-data generation unit, and a pictorial-data generation unit, which automatically generates and updates pattern data and pictorial images in real-time, allowing for concurrent parameter entry and image display, reducing the need for manual iteration and significantly decreasing the time required to set the spinning pattern.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If operators manually modify parameters and re-display pictorial images iteratively to achieve desired design, then design accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating initial spinning pattern data based on input parameters before manual adjustment is needed. The automated generation of pattern data and corresponding pictorial images eliminates the need for operators to start from scratch, reducing iterative modifications while maintaining design accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by automatically updating and redisplaying pictorial images whenever pattern data changes. This real-time feedback mechanism allows operators to see the immediate visual impact of parameter modifications, enabling more efficient iterative design with fewer manual intervention cycles.
2Productivity
If the system automatically generates pattern data without operator instruction, then productivity is improved, but ease of operation may worsen due to reduced manual control
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating pattern data from input parameters without requiring operator initiation. The automated pattern data generation and pictorial image updating processes run independently, significantly improving productivity while maintaining operator ability to review and adjust results as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamics allow flexible switching between automated generation and manual control modes. Operators can input parameters and let the system automatically generate patterns, or manually adjust pattern data as needed. The pictorial image display dynamically updates based on either automated or manual changes, providing adaptability that maintains ease of operation while improving productivity.

AI summary
A spinning-pattern setting apparatus (10) of a spinning machine that includes a parameter input unit (14) used for entering parameters of a yarn to be spun by the spinning machine, a pattern-data generation unit configured to generate pattern data from the parameters entered via the parameter input unit (14), a pictorial-data generation unit configured to generate pictorial data (21, 22, 31) based on the pattern data generated by the pattern-data generation unit, and a display unit (17) configured to display the pictorial data (21, 22, 31) generated by the pictorial-data generation unit. The pattern-data generation unit is configured to automatically generate the pattern data without depending on an instruction by an operator. The pictorial-data generation unit is configured to generate, every time the pattern data is generated, the pictorial data (21, 22, 31) so that the pictorial data (21, 22, 31) is updated and redisplayed in the display unit (17).
