Definitions

  • the present invention relates to yarn length control in a flat knitting machine.
  • Flat knitting machines comprise ordinarily two needle beds, at the front and the rear, and there are also flat knitting machines that comprise a total of four needle beds, front, rear, up and down.
  • a measurement of consumed yarn length is compared with a target value, in other words, the loop length of actual stitches is compared with a loop length target value, and the result is fed back to a stitch cam correction value, so as to prevent variability in the size of the knitted fabric that is knitted in the flat knitting machine (Patent document 1: JP 3085638 B ).
  • a consumed yarn length is measured by way of a rotary encoder or the like, and the stitch cam correction value is updated in accordance with a difference vis-à-vis the target value.
  • Stitch cams which are cams in a carriage of a flat knitting machine, are cams that control the loop length of the stitches, i.e. the yarn length per one stitch.
  • the stitch cam is controlled by an actuator such as a stitch cam motor or the like.
  • a stitch cam correction value is stored for each combination of stitch cam and yarn.
  • the stitch cam correction value is modified by the same change amount at the front and rear needle beds.
  • the stitch cam correction value of the rear needle bed is updated by the same change amount, as a result of which the stitch cam correction value of the rear needle bed becomes updated to an appropriate value beforehand.
  • the inventors focused on the feature wherein the change amount of the stitch cam correction value for modifying loop length by a same amount is dissimilar for different needle beds.
  • the angles of the needle beds with respect to the horizontal plane are different between the upper and lower needle beds.
  • the loop length of stitches formed at the upper needle bed tends to change gently in response to changes in the stitch cam correction value
  • the loop length of stitches formed at the lower needle bed tends to change abruptly in response to changes in the stitch cam correction value. If the stitch cam correction values of the upper and lower needle beds are modified jointly, the loop length for knitting at the lower needle bed changes excessively, while the loop length of knitting at the upper needle bed changes little.
  • the stitch cam correction value fails to be updated to an appropriate value.
  • the stitch cam correction value is unstable, and the loop length is likewise unstable.
  • the stitch cam correction value of the upper needle bed may in some cases decrease after the stitch cam correction value of the lower needle bed has reached a lower limit on account of tight stitching or the like. In that case, the stitch cam correction value of the lower needle bed becomes smaller than the lower limit, and an error occurs. Differences in the change of loop length per change amount of the stitch cam correction value are significant between the upper and lower needle beds, but exist also between the front and rear needle beds.
  • the consumed yarn length may change abruptly in response to changes in the rib pattern, for instance modification of the rib pattern from 2x2 to 3x3.
  • the consumed yarn length may also change abruptly through changes in yarn tension during rib knitting.
  • the texture of the knitted fabric is likely to vary when the stitch cam correction value is updated to deal with the foregoing occurrences. If the stitch cam correction value is not updated, however, the loop length deviates from the target, and the length and so forth of the knitted fabric is readily upset.
  • the optimal stitch cam correction values of the upper and lower beds are dissimilar when garter knitting of the front knitted fabric is performed at the front lower bed and rear upper bed and garter knitting of the rear knitted fabric is performed at the rear lower bed, and the front upper bed. Therefore, stitch size may become dissimilar between face stitch courses and rear stitch courses, which gives rise to striping.
  • Prior art document EP 1 605 084 A1 discloses a method and a device for controlling length of yarn of weft knitting machines.
  • the method and device is able to form hook stitches between usual stitches and then shake off the hook stitches to increase the loop length of the usual stitches.
  • the usual stitches and the hook stitches are on different needle beds, the prolonged yarn between the needle bed makes the usual stitch larger and, therefore, in this instance, the smaller usual stitches are knitted as the other usual stitches.
  • a flat knitting machine comprising a yarn length control device having the features as set forth in claim 1.
  • Preferred embodiments of the yarn length control device are defined in claims 2 to 4.
  • the present invention is a flat knitting machine, comprising a yarn length control device for controlling a stitch cam of each needle bed in the flat knitting machine provided with at least a front needle bed and a rear needle bed in accordance with a stitch cam correction value, and for updating the stitch cam correction value in accordance with a difference between loop length of stitches formed in the flat knitting machine and a target value of loop length of the stitches, the yarn length control device comprising:
  • the present invention is a yarn length control method for controlling a stitch cam of each needle bed in a flat knitting machine provided with at least a front and a rear needle bed in accordance with a stitch cam correction value, and updating the stitch cam correction value in accordance with a difference between loop length of stitches formed in the flat knitting machine and a target value of loop length of the stitches, the method executing:
  • the present invention allows setting whether to update the stitch cam correction value by a common change amount for each needle bed, or to update the stitch cam correction value by a dissimilar change amount varied depending on the needle bed.
  • Upon update of a stitch cam correction value by a common change amount it becomes therefore possible to update a stitch cam correction value also for stitch cams of needle beds that are not being used for knitting.
  • Upon update of a stitch cam correction value by a dissimilar change amount it becomes possible to prevent stitch loop lengths from being dissimilar, or failure to match a target loop length, and to prevent the stitch cam correction value from becoming unstable.
  • the disclosure relating to the yam length control device applies as-is also to the yam length control method, and the disclosure relating to the yarn length control method applies as-is also to the yarn length control device.
  • the stitch cam correction unit updates, for rib knitting, the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed, where rib rear stitches are knitted, by a relatively large change amount, and updates the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed, where rib face stitches are knitted, by a relatively small change amount.
  • a relatively small change amount includes a change amount of 0.
  • the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed at which rib face stitches are knitted is fixed during rib knitting.
  • a relatively small value may be for instance 3/4 or less, preferably 1/2 or less, of a relatively large change amount of stitch cam correction value.
  • Rib face stitches are more conspicuous than rear stitches, and changes in loop length in the face stitches can be readily felt in the form of changes in the texture of the knitted fabric. Therefore, the texture is rendered stable by reducing the change of stitch cam correction value of needle beds at which face stitches are knitted.
  • the consumed yarn length of rib fabric deviates from a target value upon reduction of the change of the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed where face stitches are knitted. This deviation is corrected by significantly modifying the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed where rib rear stitches are knitted. Therefore, the entire rib fabric is knitted at the target consumed yarn length.
  • Rib rear stitches are inconspicuous, and hence changes in texture are not noticeable, even upon significant changes in the stitch cam correction value.
  • the consumed yarn length of rib fabric is controlled so as to match a target value, and hence the size of the knitted fabric, in terms of length or the like, exhibits no variability.
  • the stitch cam correction value is updated such that the loop lengths of stitches formed in each needle bed are identical. That is, in case of a dissimilar change amount of stitch cam correction value for forming stitches of identical loop length according to the needle bed, the stitch cam correction value is updated by a dissimilar change amount, so that the loop lengths of stitches formed at each needle bed are rendered uniform.
  • the stitch cam correction unit obtains a proportion of change of loop length of stitches with respect to the change amount of the stitch cam correction value, for a plurality of needle beds, and the obtained proportion is stored in a storage unit; and in the setting of updating the stitch cam correction value by a dissimilar change amount varied depending on the needle bed, the stitch cam correction unit updates the stitch cam correction value by a change amount according to the proportion.
  • obtaining a proportion for a plurality of needle beds refers to, for instance, obtaining a proportion for each needle bed, or obtaining a proportion for one of the lower needle beds and one of the upper needle beds.
  • the change amount of the stitch cam correction value for modifying a loop length by a same amount varies depending on the needle bed.
  • the stitch cam correction value is updated according to the stored proportion.
  • a small change amount is used in needle bed where loop length changes sharply with respect to changes in stitch cam correction value
  • a large change amount is used in needle beds where loop length changes only slightly with respect to changes in the stitch cam correction value.
  • the stitch cam correction value can be updated thereby to an optimal value.
  • the flat knitting machine comprises front, rear, up and down needle beds, and, in the setting of updating the stitch cam correction value by a dissimilar change amount varied depending on the needle bed, the stitch cam correction value of at least the upper front and rear needle beds and the stitch cam correction value of the lower front and rear needle beds are updated by a dissimilar change amount.
  • a flat knitting machine provided with four needle beds, front, rear, up and down, for instance, the inclinations of the upper needle beds and of the lower needle beds are dissimilar, and changes in the loop length of the stitches, upon changes of the stitch cam correction value by a same amount, are likewise dissimilar.
  • this allows correcting the influence of the difference between upper and lower needle beds upon update, by dissimilar change amounts, of the stitch cam correction value of the upper needle beds and the stitch cam correction value of the lower front and rear needle beds.

  • the carriage c comprises a plurality of cam systems 8 that operate the needles of the respective needle beds df to ur.
  • Stitch cams 9, 10 in each cam system 8 are cams that control the loop length of stitches, i.e. that control stitch size.
  • loop length denotes yarn length per one stitch
  • stitch size denotes the longitudinal and transversal size of the stitch.
  • the stitch cams 9, 10 control the extent of rise and descent of the yarn-holding needles.
  • the stitch cams 9, 10 are controlled by stitch cam motors M1 to M24 ( Fig. 3 ) that are provided for each stitch cam.
  • the stitch cams 9 are stitch cams in the forward direction and the stitch cams 10 are stitch cams in the return direction.
  • the needle beds df to ur are four beds, front, rear, up and down, with, for instance, three cam systems 8 provided per needle bed. There are thus a total of 24 stitch cams 9, 10.
  • the reference numeral 12 denotes a controller of the flat knitting machine 2
  • the reference numeral 16 denotes an encoder, for instance a rotary encoder, that measures the length of yarn that is supplied to the yarn feeder 6.
  • the yarn length control device 14 is provided within the controller 12, except for the encoder 16 and the stitch cam motors M1 to M24.
  • the yarn length measured by the encoder 16 and the target yarn length are compared, in the comparator 18, for instance for every course that is knitted.
  • the stitch cam correction unit 20 updates the stitch cam correction table 22 using the comparison results of the comparator 18.
  • the stitch cam motors M1 to M24 are controlled, for instance during reversal of the carriage c at the end of each course, on the basis of the stitch cam correction values stored in the stitch cam correction table 22.
  • the setting unit 24 performs setting relating to stitch cam correction. Specifically, the setting unit 24 inputs whether there is performed

  • Step 2 is a process for executing steps 11 and 12 of Fig. 7 .
  • Step 2 may be omitted if stitch cam corrections A, C of Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 are executed.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates an initial example (stitch cam correction A).

  • step 3 the consumed yarn length and the target yarn length are compared, and there is obtained the change amount of the stitch cam correction value for correcting this difference.
  • step 4 the setting of the setting unit 24 is checked, and the front, rear, up and down stitch cam correction tables are updated by a common change amount in the case of a setting such that the stitch cam correction value is updated by a common change amount for the four needle beds, front, rear, up and down df to ur (step 5). In this case, the stitch cam correction value is updated by a common change amount also for stitch cams of needle beds that are not being used for knitting.
  • a common change amount of the stitch cam correction value is set for the lower front and rear needle beds df, dr, and a common change amount of the correction value is set for the upper front and rear needle beds uf, ur.
  • the change amount of the correction value is not common for the upper and lower needle beds, for instance, the stitch cam correction value of the lower front needle bed df and the lower rear needle bed dr, or the stitch cam correction value of the upper front and rear needle beds uf, ur, are updated by a common change amount (step 6).
  • the stitch cam correction value to be updated corresponds to the needle bed for which consumed yarn length is measured in step 3, as well as other front and rear needle beds having the same up and down relationship as that of the needle bed for which consumed yarn length is measured in step 3.
  • This setting is particularly effective in the case of garter knitting.
  • the front knitted fabric has face stitches formed in the lower front needle bed df and rear stitches formed in the upper rear needle bed ur, while the rear knitted fabric has face stitches formed in the lower rear needle bed dr and rear stitches formed in the upper front needle bed uf.
  • the stitch cam correction value for knitting of face stitch courses is update by a change amount that is identical in the front and rear needle beds
  • the stitch cam correction value for knitting of rear stitch courses is updated by a change amount that is identical in the front and rear needle beds.
  • the setting may be such that stitch cam correction tables are updated individually for the front, rear, up and down needle beds, i.e. for each needle bed independently from the others.
  • the stitch cam correction table is updated only for the needle bed whose consumed yarn length is measured in step 3 (step 7).
  • Stitch cam correction B in Fig. 7 illustrates another example of stitch cam correction, wherein steps 3 and 5 are identical to steps 3 and 5 in Fig. 6 .
  • Fig. 7 illustrates two types of setting, namely modification of the stitch cam correction value of all needle beds by a same change amount (joint modification), or individual modification of each needle bed (update of the stitch cam correction value by an individual change amount for each needle bed).
  • the setting is checked in step 10.
  • the change amount of the stitch cam correction value is decided in accordance with the conversion table 26 of Fig. 3 for needle beds other than the needle beds in which consumed yarn length is measured in step 3.
  • the stitch cam correction value may be modified in accordance with the ratio of the change amount of the stitch cam correction value. For instance, a consumed yarn length is measured in a needle bed A, the change amount of the stitch cam correction values is obtained, for a needle bed B, by multiplying the change amount of the stitch cam correction value at needle bed A by (b/a), wherein a denotes the stored value in conversion table 26 for needle bed A and b denotes that for needle bed B (step 11). In step 12, the stitch cam correction table of each needle bed is updated in accordance with the obtained change amount. In a case where the stitch cam correction values can be updated only discretely, preferably, a fraction generated by conversion is stored, and is added at the next update.
  • Steps 3, 5 identical to those of Fig. 6 are executed in a stitch cam correction C of Fig. 8 .
  • the stitch cam correction C is used for knitting of rib fabrics.
  • a setting check of step 10 it is checked whether the front, rear, up and down needle beds are to be updated jointly, or individually.
  • step 5 of Fig. 6 there is executed step 5 of Fig. 6 .
  • the stitch cam correction values of the needle beds are updated individually, and the type of knitted fabric during knitting is a rib fabric, then the stitch cam correction values are updated only for a needle bed where rib rear stitches are knitted, while the stitch cam correction values of other needle beds, for instance needle beds where rib face stitches are knitted, are not updated (step 21).
  • the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed at which rib face stitches are knitted may be updated by a change amount that is smaller than that of a needle bed at which rib rear stitches are knitted, for instance by a change amount that is 3/4 or less, preferably 1/2 or less, of that of the needle bed at which rib rear stitches are knitted.
  • step 21 of Fig. 8 the stitch cam correction value is fixed for a needle bed at which rib face stitches are knitted, such that the texture of the rib fabric is essentially determined by the face stitches.
  • the rib fabric texture is kept constant as a result.
  • the stitch cam correction value of a needle bed at which rear stitches are knitted is updated so as to cancel that deviation.
  • the consumed yarn length for the entire rib fabric is caused to match thereby a target value.
  • Size variability for instance length variability, can be prevented as a result in the knitted fabric. It becomes thus possible to knit a rib fabric having constant texture and desired size throughout the fabric.
  • a flat knitting machine 2 having four needle beds, front, rear, up and down, has been explained in the examples, but the flat knitting machine may comprise front and rear needle beds alone. In this case, there is corrected the occurrence whereby changes in loop length are not equal between the front needle beds and the rear needle beds, even when the stitch cam correction values are updated by a same change amount. In four needle beds, front, rear, up and down, the largest difference in changes of loop length with respect to changes in the stitch cam correction value are found between the upper and lower needle beds.
  • the lower front needle bed df and lower rear needle bed dr are updated by a common stitch cam correction value
  • the upper front needle bed uf and the upper rear needle bed ur are updated by a common change amount
  • the stitch cam correction values of the lower front and rear needle beds df, dr, and the stitch cam correction values of the upper front and rear needle beds uf, ur are updated by dissimilar change amounts. Doing so allows knitting a knitted fabric having substantially a target loop length.
