Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for automatically cutting a sheet-shaped member according to a pattern, and particularly, the sheet-shaped member to be cut has a color pattern, and the sheet-shaped member has the same cutting data. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cutting a sheet-like member for color and pattern matching, which is repeatedly cut by.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automatic cutting device will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example thereof, which includes a graphic display 102, a console 101, and a monitor TV 104.
The main body 200 of the automatic cutting device driven by the control console 100 composed of the data processing device 103 and the data processing device 103 is mounted on the X rails 6 provided on both sides of the cutting bed 1. Driven by this Y beam 8
The cutting head 3 is configured to be driven in the arrow Y direction on the Y rail 7 provided at the Y axis drive unit 5. The sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut is placed on the cutting bed 1 of the main body 200 of the automatic control device, and the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut is fixed on the cutting-bed member 2 in order to fix the sheet-shaped member 2 to the cutting bed 1. Further, the special sheet 20 is stacked and placed, and the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut is sucked and fixed onto the cutting bed 1 by a plurality of small holes (not shown) provided on the surface of the cutting bed connected from the suction device 9.

On the special sheet member 20, the pattern papers 21 to 23 are visually placed on the pattern of the sheet member 2 to be cut, and the monochrome CCD camera 31 mounted on the cutting head 3 automatically outlines the pattern paper. It is traced and stored as pattern data, the pattern data is changed to cutting data, and then the cutting head 3
The sheet 32 to be cut is automatically cut according to the cutting data by the cutter 32 placed on. The special sheet 20 member allows the pattern of the lower sheet-shaped member 2 to be discerned by seeing through, and the monochrome CCD camera can see through the brightness of the paper pattern and all the colors and patterns of the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut. Since the brightness is colored in a color that can be discriminated, the monochrome CCD camera can trace the contour of the paper pattern without detecting the pattern of the cut sheet-shaped member 2. For example, if the color of the sheet 2 to be cut is blue, the special sheet member 20 is red, and if it is red, the special sheet member 20 is blue, and the monochrome CCD camera detects the contour as black.
By the method described above, cutting is performed after storing all the pattern paper data, and the first cutting is completed. From the next time onward, even if the same template is used for cutting, the contours of all the patterns are traced and stored by the same procedure, and the cut sheet-shaped member 2 is automatically cut.

As another cutting method, there is a method of cutting using the automatic cutting device having the above-mentioned structure according to the part data created by the CAD device. That is, the pattern information of the sheet-shaped member to be cut is input to the CAD device in advance, the cutting data for each part is created by the CAD device in accordance with the information, and the data is cut online or via the FD device. This is a pattern matching cutting method of transferring to a device and cutting.

As still another cutting method, there is a method of using the automatic cutting device having the above-mentioned structure to perform cutting using a color CCD camera based on the part data created by the CAD device. That is, in the cutting device, the pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut is imaged on the Delevi monitor by the color CCD camera mounted on the cutting head, and C
The part data created by the AD device to match the pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut to some extent is read from the CAD device for each part, and the contour of the part is displayed on the television monitor at the same time as the image of the color CCD camera. Then, while watching the monitor image, the cutting head (color CCD camera) is moved by a manual switch to match the pattern matching point on the contour of each part read by the CAD device with the pattern of the cutting sheet member, and the coordinate position thereof. Is used as a reference, and the coordinate position of each part data is corrected and cut.

[0006]

However, each cutting method has the following problems. A method of automatically tracking and storing the contour of the pattern paper using a monochrome CCD camera and cutting according to the contour data is
Pattern matching cutting is possible without the need for a CAD device as long as there is a pattern paper, but even when cutting repeatedly using the data used last time, all necessary pattern papers are rearranged on a special sheet member every time. , It is necessary to automatically trace and store the contour of the pattern, and especially when the same pattern is used and a new sheet-like member to be cut is successively sent out onto the cutting bed, the position of the handle shifts little by little. However, this has the drawback that it is troublesome. Also, monochrome CCD
The camera cannot display the color of the cut sheet-shaped member on the television monitor, and therefore cannot be visually recognized. In addition, there is a drawback that it is difficult to recognize a pattern having a narrow line width.

The method of creating and cutting data according to the pattern information of the sheet-shaped member to be cut by the CAD device is not only difficult to input the pattern information into the CAD device, but the storage capacity of this data becomes enormous. Also, its processing is difficult. In addition, in order to master the CAD device,
It has a drawback that it requires a training period of several weeks and a long period of several months before it can be used in practice. In addition to the above, in the same sheet-shaped member, the handle pitch of the member itself is not always uniform, and due to the property of the member, a pitch error or the like is inevitable, and the accuracy of the member is not compensated. Therefore, even if the pattern matching data is created by the CAD device, there is a drawback that the pattern pitch of the member and the data are deviated during the actual cutting. Also, the colors of the members cannot be matched.

A method in which the same camera monitor images the pattern image of the sheet-shaped member to be cut by the color CCD camera and the contour of the part data created by the CAD device to some extent to the pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut, and cuts the image. Is to correct the cutting coordinate position of each part while confirming the actual pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut, so it is possible to perform more accurate pattern matching than the above method, or read the contour data for each part from the CAD device, Since the position of the cutting coordinate is determined by moving the camera and the coordinates are sent back to the CAD device for calculation inside the CAD device, there is a disadvantage that it takes time and labor until the cutting of all parts is completed.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object thereof is to easily perform pattern matching and cutting of patterned fabrics. That is, no matter how many times the same paper pattern is used, the time and effort for correction can be simplified and can be achieved in a short time, and a cut sheet-shaped member of any color or pattern can be used.

According to the method, the sheet-shaped member to be cut is cut.

Next, the apparatus will be described with reference to the overall configuration diagram of FIG. A feature of this cutting method and apparatus is that a color CCD camera is used so that there is no deviation in the cutting of color and pattern material, and the following means are provided accordingly. (1) In addition to a monochrome CCD camera, a mounting means (A) for mounting a color CCD camera on a cutting head, and (2) a color video monitor and a graphic display when repeatedly cutting using the same cutting data as the previous time. Display means (B) for displaying the pattern on the screen and the pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut, and (3) storage means (C) for storing the coordinates of the cutting origin position of the color CCD camera, that is, the coordinates of the template with reference to the cutting origin. ) And (4) While visually observing this screen on the color video monitor screen, the center position of the color CCD camera is manually adjusted to an arbitrary point on the pattern paper, and the point at which the points match is taken as the cutting start point.

Next, these configurations will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The main body 201 of the automatic cutting apparatus of this embodiment is different from the conventional main body 200 of FIG. 5 in that the cutting head 3 is the cutting head 30, a color CCD camera 36 is additionally mounted, and the monitor TV 104 is a color video monitor 105. The other configurations have not changed at all. But,
As mentioned above, the control means are completely different.
In this embodiment, a transparent nylon sheet colored in red was used as the special sheet member 20, but this is because the separately prepared template placed on it is a cream color, and the color of the template used. Depending on the color pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut, it may be preferable to use a transparent nylon sheet colored in blue. Cut sheet member 2
After the sheet is covered with the special sheet member 20, the sheet-to-be-cut member 2 is fixed on the cutting bed 1 in an expanded state by operating the suction device 9.

Since the pattern of the lower sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut can be seen through the special sheet member 20, the plural pattern papers 21 to 23 are placed on the special sheet member 20 by positioning according to the pattern. . The pattern is 21-23 in the figure to avoid complication
Although only three of them are shown, in actuality, a large number of them are placed within the range of the cut sheet-shaped member 2 which has been expanded. In the present embodiment, the pattern papers 21 to 23 are cream-colored ones, but other colors may be used, and it is preferable that the pattern papers are as bright as possible.

The cutting head 30 which can move on the Y beam 8 includes a cutter 32, a monochrome CCD camera 31, and a color C.
A CD camera 36, an illumination 34, and a perforation marker 33 are mounted, and the cutter 32 and the perforation marker 33 can be moved up and down by an up-and-down mechanism (not shown), respectively. It is configured so that it can be oriented. A control console 100, which is a control device portion of the automatic control device, includes a console 101 used for manually moving the cutting head 30, a data processing device 103 including a storage device for various information, and a tracking storage. It is provided with a graphic display 102 for confirming the contour of the pattern paper, and a color video monitor 105 with a multi-input channel changeover switch for observing the image on the upper surface of the cutting bed 1 while the monochrome CCD camera 31 and the color CCD camera 36 are capturing images. ing.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 001 A sheet-shaped member to be cut (hereinafter referred to as cloth) 2 is placed on the cutting bed 1. (A) 002 Cover the special sheet member 20 from above. (B) 003 Next, the suction device 9 is operated to fix the dough 2.
(C) 004 The patterns 21 to 23 are aligned with the color pattern of the cloth 2 (visually determined) and placed on the special sheet 20 member. (D) 005 While switching the image on the color video monitor 105 to the monochrome CCD camera 31, while observing the image at the current position of the cutting head 30, the console 101 of the control console 100 is operated to move the cutting head 30 to the first position. 1 Manually move to the target pattern edge and align the center of the monochrome CCD camera with the pattern edge. (E)

006 "Adjustment" is selected from the menu on the reading system screen of the CPU, and the current position coordinates of the monochrome CCD camera 31 are stored in the cutter control unit. [Coordinates of pattern with reference to cutting origin (0, 0)] (f) 007 Next, manually move to the edge of the second target pattern, store it in the cutting machine control unit, and judge that all patterns have been stored. To do. (G) 008 If “N0”, repeat steps (e) and (f). 009 If “YES”, proceed to next program. 010 From the menu on the CPU reading system screen,
Select "Start reading" to automatically read the edges of all the patterns and store them in the storage means (C). (H) At the same time, the shape of the entire pattern is displayed on the screen of the graphic display 102. (I)

011 After confirming the end of reading of all the patterns on the screen of the graphic display (102), the patterns 21 to 23 and the special sheet member 20 are removed from the cutting bed 1.
(J) Instead of the special sheet member 20, a non-breathable sheet (not shown) is put on the cloth 2. (K) 013 The cutting is commanded from the console 101. As a result, the cutting data is converted into monochrome CC on the cutting head 30 from the contour information of the entire pattern stored in the data processing device 103 and the information (button hole information) of the cutting portion that is not a closed loop.
In consideration of the offsets of the D camera 31, the color CCD camera 36, the cutter 32, and the perforation marker 33, the moving direction and moving speed of the cutting head 30 according to the cutting shape,
It is created by including vertical movement commands for the cutter 32 and the perforation marker 33 and information for orienting the cutting edge of the cutter 32 in the cutting direction. Here, the perforation marker 33 performs a lowering operation at the position of the buttonhole to perforate the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut. In this way, after converting all the outline of the pattern and other cutting information into cutting data,
According to the cutting data, control information is sent from the data processing device 103 to the main body 201 of the automatic cutting device, and the cutting head 30 is moved and stopped, the cutter 32 or the perforation marker 33 is moved up and down, and the direction of the cutting edge of the cutter 32 is changed. The sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut is turned into the special sheet 20 by directing it in the cutting direction.
Along with that, it is cut into a predetermined shape. (L) This completes the predetermined cutting procedure and prepares for the next cutting. In addition, the cutting data used this time is the data processing device.
Since 103 can be stored in a floppy disk sheet (FD floppy) or a hard disk device, the same cutting data can be repeatedly used for cutting any number of times.

Next, the previous cutting data is used again to determine whether to perform color and pattern matching cutting without using the patterns 21 to 23. (M) 015 If “NO”, return to code 001 described above. [0161] When "YES", the above-mentioned codes 012 to 014 are executed. That is, the cut sheet-shaped member 2 having a color pattern is spread on the cutting bed 1, and the special sheet 20 is used as the sheet covering the entire sheet in the previous time, but the transparent non-air-permeable sheet is used this time. The sheet to be used may be a transparent, thin and soft non-breathable sheet. After being covered with the non-breathable sheet, the suction device 9 is operated in the same manner as the previous time, and the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut is sucked and fixed onto the cutting bed 1. (N) In this method, the contour of the template is cut by the cutting data that is automatically tracked and stored, or by using the part data created by a CAD device (not shown). The cutting method is common even in cases. Further, the place to be opened need not be the same as the previous cutting as long as it is on the cutting plate surface. When the previous cutting data is stored in the floppy disk sheet or the hard disk, the arbitrary cutting data used by the data processing device 103 is read and displayed on the graphic display 102. (If the data already cut is displayed, this work is not necessary.) (O)

The image of the color video monitor 105 is automatically switched to the image of the color CCD camera 36. (P) 019 Select “Pattern matching” on the graphic display. (Q) 020 Select the pattern data for which pattern matching cutting is to be performed on the graphic display screen and instruct to store it in the CPU. (R) While watching the image on the color video monitor 105, operate the console 101 to move the cutting head, and capture an arbitrary point as the cutting origin of the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut at the center of the screen of the color video monitor 104. Cutting head 30
Stop moving the screen center coordinates at this time to the console 101
The data is input to and stored in the data processor 103 from the input keyboard of.
(S) 022 From the menu on the graphic display screen,
Select "Cut". (T) When the image is captured in the center of the screen of the color video monitor 104, the movement of the cutting head 30 is stopped, and the coordinates of the center of the screen at this time are input and stored from the input keyboard of the console 101 to the data processing device 103. [023] In the middle of cutting, the cutting head 30 temporarily stops at the cutting start point of the part data for which color pattern matching is designated in advance. (U) Color C imaged on the 024 color video monitor 105
The cutting head 30 is moved by operating the console 101 while observing the image of the sheet-shaped member 2 to be cut by the CD camera 36, and the cutting head 30 is stopped when the arbitrary color pattern matching point coincides with the center of the screen. (V) 025 The center coordinates of the screen at this time are input and stored from the input keyboard of the console 101 to the data processing device 103. The data processing device 103 internally moves and corrects the coordinate positions of the parts relative to the screen center coordinates, and at the same time,
The cutting machine control unit stores the screen center coordinates as the cutting start point. (W)

When any switch of the data processing device is pressed, the cutting continues as the stored new cutting start point.
(X) 027 Next, it is determined whether or not there is another pattern matching instruction part. (Y) 028 If “YES”, code 023 to 026 is executed. [028] If "NO", the cutting ends. (Z)

As described above, the cutting in the case where the monochrome CCD camera and the color CCD camera are used together has been described. However, the same means is used when the monochrome CCD camera is not used and only the color CCD camera is used. You can This is determined by the choice of color or pattern. That is, it is used when the edge of the pattern has a color pattern that can be clearly distinguished.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, the recognizability of the color pattern of the sheet-shaped member to be cut is improved, and when the same cutting data is used many times to cut, the contour of the pattern paper is changed every time. Repeated cutting can be realized easily and effectively without the need for tracking and storing. Further, even in the color and pattern matching cutting using the part data created by CAD, the cutting can be performed easily and efficiently.
