It is obvious that the drawings in the following description are only some examples of the invention, and that for a person skilled in the art, other drawings and embodiments can be derived from them without inventive effort.

In the prior art, after a garment designer (garment designer) in the garment manufacturing field finishes garment design, a technical sheet needs to be further written to describe the production process of the garment, and the technical sheet is shown in the following table:

the type of sheet shown in the table above is relatively easy for a human expert to understand, but has problems of insufficient specification for a robot of a fully automated garment manufacturing plant, and thus may be difficult to understand. The method of the present application is to enable a human designer (garment designer) to translate the process requirements into operation codes that are understandable by a canonical robot.

In order to solve the problems, the application provides a method for coding a garment manufacturing process flow, which translates the garment manufacturing process flow into an operation code recognizable by a robot, so that the robot can automatically and smoothly execute the garment manufacturing process flow.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following, the basic concept related to the present application is explained. It should be noted that these explanations are intended to make the present application more understandable, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present application.

Ridge advanced CAM (computer Aided Manufacturing): software for production facility management control and operation using a computer, available from Shanghai robot science and technology Ltd. The input information is the process route and procedure content of the garment, and the output information is the process flow code to control various devices for garment production. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides one embodiment of a method for coding a garment manufacturing process flow, comprising the steps of:

s100, acquiring a mapping relation between parameters of a preset garment manufacturing process flow and corresponding codes.

It will be appreciated that the present implementation will provide a ridge-first garment CAM software to the garment designer. The garment designers can write operation codes according to the process requirements and the rules set by the designers in the garment CAM software, and the operation codes are stored in a file. The robot may retrieve the operation code and execute the operation code by opening and reading the file. The rules set here include the mapping relationship between the parameters of the preset garment process flow and the corresponding codes, and may also include the specific operations and requirements of the input process flow.

Wherein the parameters comprise process parameters related to the process flow and other contents related to the process flow in the process list.

In addition, the Ling first-dressing CAM software may develop unified translation specifications and standards. According to the specification and standard, the clothing designer expresses the clothing process flow in the Ling-first clothing CAM software by using operation codes.

For example, a clothing designer and a user holding a process flow list can obtain an entry and notes for inputting the process flow by logging in a clothing CAM software interface, and input the process flow after obtaining a mapping relationship between parameters of a preset clothing process flow and corresponding codes.

S200, inputting at least one parameter of the current garment manufacturing process flow according to the mapping relation, and automatically writing a code corresponding to the parameter.

In some embodiments, the parameters of the garment process flow include a plurality of parameters, and when one parameter is input, the CAM software is automatically written into a corresponding code.

For example: when the user enters the lockstitch machine, the CAM software automatically writes the "lockstitch machine" as "PF", such as a robot-recognizable code.

Or after the CAM software interface inputs the parameters of the current garment manufacturing process flow, the background is called to be automatically written into the corresponding codes.

S300, one or more codes are correlated to form operation program codes which can be recognized by the robot.

When a user inputs a plurality of parameters, the CAM software automatically writes a plurality of corresponding codes. For example, the input parameter is 'shoulder seam, flat sewing machine and sewing', the CAM software automatically writes '1, PF and FH', the codes are correlated to form operation program codes which can be identified by the robot, and the operation program codes are stored in a file mode so that the robot can consult and execute the operation program codes in the file.

In some embodiments, before the obtaining of the mapping relationship between the parameters of the preset garment manufacturing process flow and the corresponding codes, the method further includes the steps of:

In some embodiments, the inputting parameters of the current garment manufacturing process flow according to the mapping relationship and automatically writing the operation program code of the current garment manufacturing process flow specifically include the steps of:

inputting the operation sequence of the current garment manufacturing process flow, and automatically compiling the serial number code of the garment manufacturing process flow; inputting the position of the current garment manufacturing process flow operation, and automatically compiling a position code; inputting equipment for operating each position, and automatically compiling corresponding equipment codes; inputting the operation action executed by the equipment on the position, and automatically writing a corresponding operation code; and inputting remark parameters and automatically writing corresponding remark codes.

Specifically, when the device code is written automatically, the device code may be replaced by a code of the spatial position where the device is located.

In a simplified case, the device and operation method for performing the operation may be integrated together to generate a device operation code for a certain position instead of the separate device code and operation code.

Illustratively, the device codes are shown in the following table:

in the above table, the code of the device "four-thread overlock machine" may be "SB", the code of the device "iron" may be "YD", the code of the device "three-thread five-thread flat seaming machine" may be "BF", and the code of the device "flat seaming machine" may be "PF".

Illustratively, the operation codes are as set forth in the following table:

operation of	Code
		Suture	FH
Ironing machine	ZT
		Folded suture	DZ
Edge folding and sewing	ZB
		Are sequentially connected with each other	+
Preferentially operating on parenthetical content	()

In some embodiments, before said inputting the location of the current garment process flow operation, automatically writing a location code, further comprising the steps of:

one or more positions are marked on the cut piece through CAM software.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the back panel of the cut segment is marked with the reference numeral (1) at the position of the shoulder seam, the reference numeral (2) at the position of the neck opening, the reference numeral (3) at the position of the cuff and the reference numerals (5, 6, 7, 8, 35) at the corresponding positions.

Furthermore, when the front panel of the panel is to be manipulated, it is also possible to mark the front panel of the panel at each position where it is to be manipulated, the reference numbers being exemplified by (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 40) and the like, which are different from the reference numbers of the rear panel.

When manipulation of the left sleeve in the panel is required, the left sleeve is marked, for example with reference numbers (21, 22, 23, 24) in fig. 2 for the left sleeve. When manipulation of the right sleeve in the panel is required, the right sleeve is marked, for example with reference to the left sleeve in fig. 2 (17, 18, 19, 20). When the collar needs to be manipulated, it is marked, for example with reference numbers (27, 28, 29, 30) in fig. 2.

The order of the marks for each position of the panel may include marks from the garment designer for the normal operation of the panel, for example, the designer typically marks the marks from the front or back panel. In addition, the marked sequence of the cut pieces can represent the operation sequence when the robot executes the clothing process flow.

It should be noted that the representation of the reference numbers includes, but is not limited to, numbers, which may include symbols, etc., and any code that can be recognized by the robot. The numerical references are used herein only as examples to facilitate a clear understanding of the specific methods in the present embodiments.

Since it is possible to operate on a plurality of positions of the cut piece, there are a plurality of position corresponding codes and the writing of corresponding operation codes, in some embodiments, the method for coding the garment manufacturing process flow further comprises the steps of:

By the mode, the subsequent misoperation caused by unchanged position codes when a plurality of position codes exist can be avoided, and the reliability of code writing is improved.

In some embodiments, said associating one or more of said codes to form a robotically recognizable operating program code comprises the steps of:

Illustratively, the position code, the device code and the operation code are combined together in a necessary sequence to form an operation program which can be easily read and understood by the robot.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention provides one embodiment of a method for coding a garment manufacturing process flow, comprising the steps of:

In some embodiments, the method for coding a garment process flow further comprises the steps of:

and S400, identifying the operation program code of the current garment process flow by the robot, and automatically executing the current garment process flow.

It should be understood that when the executing subject executing the current garment process is a robot, the current garment process has been written and associated according to the writing method of the above embodiment and stored in a file. The robot obtains the operation code and executes the operation code by opening and reading the file.

By the mode of the embodiment, the clothing process flow can be translated into the operation code which can be recognized by the robot, so that the robot can automatically and smoothly execute the clothing process flow.

In some embodiments, the remark comprises a specific operation object currently operated, the specific operation object comprising a trademark and/or a wash mark; the operation code includes motion instructions recognizable by the robot, and the motion includes a single motion and a combined motion.

For example, the motion command of the robot includes a single motion or a combined motion. Such as: and (3) sewing: FH; ironing: ZT; folding and sewing: DZ; and (3) folding and sewing: ZB; and (3) connecting in sequence: +; the operation is carried out on the parenthesis content preferentially: brackets; and so on.

In another aspect, the present invention provides another embodiment of a method for coding a garment process flow, comprising the steps of:

we provide a ridge-first garment CAM software to the garment designer. Designers can write operation codes in software according to their process requirements and the rules set by us, and store the operation codes in a file. The robot may retrieve the operation code and execute the operation code by opening and reading the file.

Garment designers mark their designed panels with the ridge-first garment CAM software, such as that shown in fig. 2.

The CAM software receives parameters input by a clothing designer according to a clothing process flow sheet, automatically writes the parameters into corresponding codes, and then associates one or more codes to form operation program codes for the robot to recognize and execute corresponding operations.

Wherein the code content may include: a cloth operation position code, an equipment code, an operation code, a new mark, a remark and an operation program.

1. Sequence number: representing the sequence of operations of the garment process flow.

2. Position: marking position codes at all places of the cloth needing sewing, ironing or other operations, such as: shoulder seam: 1; a collar 2; and (4) cuffs: 3; and so on. When the 2 position codes appear together, their front-back order represents the up-down or left-right relationship on the sewing machine or other related equipment.

Specifically, when two location codes are adjacent to each other, the device relationship corresponding to the location in the two location codes may be determined based on the location codes and the order of the location codes.

Illustratively, when 2 position codes appear together, their front-to-back order represents an up-down or left-to-right relationship on a sewing machine or other related equipment.

3. The device code is as follows: coding is performed for all devices of a fully unmanned automatic garment production plant, such as: a flat sewing machine: PF; four-line serging machine: SB; iron: YD; a three-needle five-thread flat seaming machine BF; and so on.

4. The operation code is as follows: the motion command of the robot comprises single motion or combined motion. Such as: and (3) sewing: FH; ironing: ZT; folding and sewing: DZ; and (3) folding and sewing: ZB; and (3) connecting in sequence: +; the operation is carried out on the parenthesis content preferentially: brackets "()"; and so on.

5. The new mark is as follows: after the current operation is completed, the position code of the cloth, which was originally associated with the operation, is represented by a new code.

6. Remarking: the specific operation object of the current operation, such as trademark, washing mark, etc.

7. The operation procedure is as follows: the position code, the equipment code and the operation code are combined together according to the necessary sequence to form an operation program which can be easily read and understood by the robot.

The following table shows the operation procedures translated into the clothes making process of a certain T-shirt:

in addition, in some embodiments, the manner of encoding may be varied.

For example, the devices and operations may be coded integrally. Such as a four-wire serging machine, may be encoded as SBFH or represented by any number of any symbols. So that the device code and the operation code can be integrated.

If a new device and operation mode is added, the new device and operation mode can be coded in the above method and can be recognized by the robot.

Serial number, location, device code, operation code, new label and remarks are as described above.

When programming, the actual operation process is divided into each step related to the position according to the actual process, and then the position is related to the equipment code, the operation code, the new mark and the remark.

Such as:

serial number	Position of	Device	Operation of	New label	Remarks for note
						1	1，9	SB	FH	25

It means that, in a first step, the position (1) of the rear panel and the position (9) of the front panel are sewn together by the apparatus of a four-line overlock machine by a sewing operation, while the numbers of the position (1) and the position (9) are subsequently changed to the position (25), and when the position (25) is subsequently operated, the position after sewing of the position (1) and the position (9) is operated. The front-back sequence of the positions (1) and (9) represents a certain meaning, where it represents the front position (1) above and the back position (9) below during sewing.

The process flow can be converted into an operation code sequence by continuously repeating the association process.
