Definitions

  • the present invention relates to knit design, and particularly relates to calculation of an external size of a knit fabric.
  • Knit fabrics have the problem that it is difficult to knit a product having a size as directed.
  • the possible reason is, for example, that:
  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2676182B discloses that a plurality of texture samples are knitted while controlling the loop length, and the most appropriate texture sample is selected after finish processing. By performing knitting according to the loop length of the most appropriate sample, a knit fabric that has a size close to a target size and an excellent texture is obtained. However, by the method of Patent Literature 1, it is difficult to knit a knit fabric that is constituted by a mixture of face stitches and rear stitches and has a side movement structure, in a size as directed.
  • Patent Literature 2 ( WO 2007/013296A ) discloses simulation of a three-dimensional shape of a knit fabric. Particularly, a tension, a distortion, and a flexure that are applied to each stitch are calculated and the position of the stitch is shifted. In order to simulate the shape of a knit fabric, it is necessary to repeatedly perform calculation until the shape of the knit fabric converges.
  • Patent Literature 3 JP 2009-120987A discloses that if it is necessary to change the course number between right and left parts of a knit fabric, that is, between a part of the knitting width and the remaining part, differences in course number are arranged in a distributed manner in the wale direction.
  • Prior art document WO 2009/039668 A1 discloses a system and a method for designing a stitched object, the system and the method including: determining a style; determining a size; determining a stitch material; automatically calculating a grid-based template based on the determined style, size and stitch material; and outputting the grid-based template to a user as a design for the stitched object.
  • the system and method also allow for an automatic change in gauge.
  • a knit design device and a design method wherein a first pattern data based on the finished size of each part of a knitted fabric is generated, and the first pattern data is converted to second pattern data representing the size in proportion to the number of stitches.
  • Raster data representing the part in stitches is generated by converting the second pattern data to data expressed in the number of stitches of the part and forming a shaping line at a side end of the part.
  • An ordinary knit fabric in particular, a knit fabric garment is constituted by a mixture of face stitches and rear stitches and has a side movement structure.
  • a structure pattern often includes a mixture of face stitches and rear stitches, and a side movement structure that is made due to increased stitches, decreased stitches, bind-off stitches, or the like.
  • the present invention is directed to a knit design system that is configured to obtain, based on knit design data or knit data, an external size of a knit fabric in which stitches are arrayed in a course direction and a wale direction, and that includes: a pitch storage unit configured to store two types of array pitches of the stitches, an array pitch in the course direction and an array pitch in the wale direction, such that the array pitch where the same type of stitches are connected to each other and the array pitch where different types of stitches are connected to each other are different from each other; a grid line deforming unit configured to deform grid lines of an array of stitches in the course direction into the wale direction according to an average of pitches in the wale direction of the stitches belonging to the respective grid lines, and to deform grid lines of an array of stitches in the wale direction into the course direction according to an average of pitches in the course direction of the stitches belonging to the respective grid lines; and an external shape extraction unit configured to obtain an external shape of the knit fabric based on the deformed grid lines.
  • a pitch storage unit configured
  • the present invention is further directed to a knit design method as stated in claim 7, for obtaining an external size of a knit fabric in which stitches are arrayed in a course direction and a wale direction based on knit design data or knit data using a knit design system, the method including steps for:
  • knit design data refers to design data on a knit fabric
  • knit data refers to data for knitting a knit fabric by a knitting machine, and the knit design data is capable of being converted into the knit data.
  • the average is a moving average along a grid line, and the average varies depending on the position on the grid line.
  • An interaction acts on stitches that are close to each other so as to align their positions, and an interaction that acts on stitches that are apart from each other is weak. Therefore, a moving average is used to obtain an arrangement of stitches that is closer to an actual arrangement.
  • a pitch in the course direction and a pitch in the wale direction when a stitch is moved to a side in the course direction be stored in the pitch storage unit, or be calculated using the array pitches stored in the pitch storage unit.
  • stitches that are moved to the side are included due to increased stitches, decreased stitches, bind-off stitches, a structure pattern, or the like.
  • the knit design system includes a smoothing unit configured to smooth positions of stitches defined by the deformed grid lines with respect to stitches at an end of the knit fabric.
  • a smoothing unit configured to smooth positions of stitches defined by the deformed grid lines with respect to stitches at an end of the knit fabric.
  • stitches at an end or in the vicinity of the end may be arranged in unnatural positions. Accordingly, by smoothing, the stitches at the end can be arranged at more real positions. Smoothing can be executed by applying, for example, the method of Patent Literature 2 to stitches of a knit fabric, or stitches at an end of a part when the knit fabric is constituted by a plurality of parts.
  • the knit design system includes a loop arrangement unit configured to arrange images showing stitches in loops of yarns such that the yarns are connected to each other, based on types of stitches, positions of stitches defined by the deformed grid lines, and connection relationship between stitches.
  • the arrangement of stitches has been corrected by deformation of grid lines.
  • the types of stitches and connection relationship between stitches are already known from the design of the knit fabric or the like, it is possible to easily display the stitches with images of loops of yarns. Therefore, it is possible to display a knit fabric in loops in a short time. Note that more real display in loops is possible by smoothing an arrangement of stitches at an end.
  • the knit design system includes a display control unit configured to display an image showing a target size of the knit fabric and an image of the knit fabric defined by the deformed grid lines on a color monitor in an overlapping manner, and to accept a change of data for defining design of the knit fabric. Accordingly, it is possible to display how much extent of deviation from the target size of a knit fabric occurs in which area. Accordingly, it is possible to immediately determine whether or not it is necessary to change the design of a knit fabric, and if it is necessary to change the design, changing the design is possible.
  • the color monitor is divided into two screens or more, and an image showing the target size of a knit fabric and an image of the knit fabric defined by the deformed grid lines are displayed on one screen in an overlapping manner. Also, a change of data that defines the design is accepted from another screen.
  • FIGS. 1 to 15 show an embodiment and, specifically, FIG. 1 shows a knit design apparatus 2 according to the embodiment, in which the reference numeral 4 denotes a bus, the reference numeral 6 denotes a color monitor, the reference numeral 8 denotes a manual input device such as a stylus, a mouse, and a keyboard.
  • the reference numeral 10 denotes a file input/output device, such as a LAN interface, a disk drive, or an external memory, that inputs/outputs a file such as a directed size, knit design data, and knit data.
  • the reference numeral 12 denotes a color printer, and the reference numeral 14 denotes a memory that stores arbitrary data, a database, a program, and the like. Additionally, a CPU (not shown) is provided.
  • Designing a knit fabric starts with defining the shape of each part of the knit fabric based on a directed size and the like.
  • Pattern data is data obtained by converting the shape into stitch numbers in the course and wale directions.
  • Knit design data is design data that indicates stitch numbers in the course and wale directions, the type of each stitch, connection relationship between stitches, and the like, and is based on the pattern data. Design that is designated by the pattern data, the knit design data, or the like is referred to as knit design.
  • Knit data is data that is used for driving a knitting machine such as a flat knitting machine or a circular knitting machine to knit a knit fabric according to the knit design data, and is obtained by converting the knit design data into data for driving a knitting machine.
  • a knit design unit 16 designs a knit fabric based on a file that was input from the file input/output device 10, a manual input from the manual input device 8, or the like. The knit design unit 16 then outputs knit design data on the designed knit fabric, converts the knit design data into knit data, and outputs the converted knit data.
  • a pitch storage unit 17 stores gauges and pitches of stitches.
  • the gauges are numbers of stitches per a predetermined length and include a gauge in the course direction and a gauge in the wale direction.
  • the gauges can be measured by, for example, the most appropriate texture sample.
  • gauges show the size of stitches of a structure constituted by only face stitches or rear stitches. When a face stitch and a rear stitch are connected to each other, the pitch between the stitches is problematic.
  • Pitches include a pitch between face and face stitches, a pitch between rear and rear stitches, and a pitch between face and rear stitches, the pitch between face and face stitches and the pitch between rear and rear stitches being equal to each other. Furthermore, the pitch between face and rear stitches and the pitch between rear and face stitches are equal to each other.
  • Pitches include a pitch in the course direction (x direction in FIG. 6 and the like) and a pitch in the wale direction (y direction in FIG. 6 and the like).
  • the reason why the pitch between face and rear stitches, or the like is problematic is that a knit structure such as a rib, a garter, or a structure pattern is included, and gauges suffice in the case of a structure constituted by only face stitches or rear stitches.
  • the pitch storage unit 17 may also store, in addition thereto, a pitch of a stitch that is moved to the side.
  • An external shape calculation unit 18 calculates an external size of a knit fabric according to knit data, based on the gauges and pitches of stitches in the pitch storage unit 17.
  • the external shape calculation unit 18 includes a grid line deforming unit 19 that arranges stitches on lines in the course direction and lines in the wale direction (they are referred to as grid lines) and deforms the grid lines based on the pitch of stitches and side movement.
  • the external shape calculation unit 18 further includes an external shape extraction unit 20 that obtains the external shape, in particular, the external size of a knit fabric based on the deformed grid lines. Note that positions of stitches become clear from the deformed grid lines.
  • a grid line deforming unit 19 obtains the positions of stitches by deforming grid lines. However, at an end of a knit fabric or a part thereof, positions of stitches may be disordered. Accordingly, it is preferable to smooth the stitch positions of stitches at the end or stitches within a predetermined number of courses (such as, for example, 5 courses or 3 courses) from the end by a smoothing unit 24.
  • a loop arrangement unit 26 generates an image in which stitches are depicted in loops based on the stitch positions obtained by the external shape calculation unit 18, or stitch positions obtained by the smoothing unit 24 smoothing the stitch positions. From data that was input into the loop arrangement unit 26, the reference position (for example, a starting position), the end position, and the like of the stitches become clear, and connection relationship between stitches and the types of the stitches also become clear.
  • the loop arrangement unit 26 depicts the stitches in loops of yarns according to the data.
  • a display control unit 28 controls display on the color monitor 6, and interprets an input from the manual input device 8.
  • the screen of the color monitor 6 is divided into two screens or the like, and on one screen, a design based on a directed size and the external shape obtained by the external shape extraction unit 20 are displayed in an overlapping manner so that a user can check an error.
  • correction of the pattern data, correction of design of a structure pattern, adding of a stitch, deletion of a stitch, or the like is accepted.
  • FIG. 2 shows processes in the embodiment, and in process p1, knit design data and knit data are created by designating size data (directed size) that directs the size of a knit fabric, texture data (gauges or the like), types of stitches, and connection relationship of stitches.
  • size data directed size
  • texture data gauge or the like
  • types of stitches and connection relationship of stitches.
  • grid lines are deformed based on gauges in the course and wale directions, pitches between face and rear stitches in the course and wale directions, and pitches between stitches that are moved to the side in the course and wale directions. Stitches are located at intersection points of grid lines in the course direction and grid lines in the wale direction, and if the grid lines are defined, the positions of stitches are defined.
  • Processes p3 to p5 may be omitted, and in process p3, a stitch arrangement in the vicinity of an end is smoothed, and in process p4, each stitch is replaced by an image of a loop.
  • process P5 the shape of a knit fabric according to a directed size, and the external shape of the knit fabric obtained by the external shape calculation unit 18 and the like are displayed in an overlapping manner on one screen. Furthermore, correction of pattern data, knit design data, or the like is accepted in accordance with a manual input from the other screen.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows calculation of the external size of a knit fabric
  • a box 30 shows knit data, that is, the box 30 actually shows the types of stitches and a side movement structure or the like in different colors.
  • a box 31 shows external shape data on the knit fabric
  • a box 32 shows enlarged stitch arrangement of the box 31.
  • the stitches are arranged in grids in the course and wale directions. Each stitch is connected to upper, lower, right, and left stitches unless otherwise specified, and the connection relationship of stitches is shown when it is changed due to side movement or the like.
  • the size is not actual size since it does not reflect the change in the pitches due to the connection between face and rear stitches, side movement of stitches, or the like.
  • FIG. 4 shows an algorithm for obtaining gauges and pitches.
  • a texture sample itself is well-known from Patent Literature 1, and in step S1, texture samples are designed so as to include a rib structure (face stitches and rear stitches appear alternately in the course direction) and a garter structure (face stitches and rear stitches appear alternately in the wale direction) in addition to structure constituted by only face stitches or rear stitches. Furthermore, the texture samples may also include a side movement structure and the like.
  • the knit design data of the texture samples is converted into knit data, a knit fabric is knitted by a flat knitting machine or the like, and finish processing is performed thereon (step S2). At that time, a plurality of texture samples are knitted while changing the loop length of each stitch, and the sample of the most appropriate texture is selected (step S3). If there is no most appropriate sample, a texture sample is knitted again with the loop length and the like changed.
  • a pitch xp in the course direction and a pitch yp in the wale direction of stitches when face and face stitches and rear and rear stitches are adjacent to each other are obtained (step S4).
  • the gauges of the most appropriate texture sample are obtained and are used.
  • a pitch xp in the course direction and a pitch yp in the wale direction of stitches when face and rear stitches are adjacent to each other are obtained as pitches between face and rear stitches (step S5).
  • These pitches include pitches in the case of a rib and pitches in the case of a garter, and which pitches to apply is determined according to the type of stitches in the knit data.
  • step S6 if texture samples include a side movement structure or the like, a pitch in the course direction and a pitch in the wale direction of the side movement structure are obtained. With the above-described procedure, gauges and pitches that serve as bases of the size of stitches are obtained.
  • a stitch is connected to adjacent stitches in the course direction and adjacent stitches in the wale direction, and thus the shape of that stitch changes under the influence of the peripheral stitches. Processing shown in FIGS. 5 to 15 is performed for obtaining the external size of a knit fabric in a short time while taking into consideration the influence of the peripheral stitches, without repeatedly performing calculation.
  • step S11 of FIG. 5 the shape of a knit fabric is defined based on a directed size and the like
  • step S12 pattern data is obtained by converting the directed size and the like into stitch numbers based on gauges
  • step S13 knit design data is obtained by adding a knit structure, the types of stitches, and the like.
  • step S14 the knit design data is converted into knit data.
  • the stitch numbers do not reflect the facts that a face stitch and a rear stitch are connected to each other, stitches are moved to the side, and the like, and thus by performing knitting according to the knit data, a knit fabric that has the size different from the directed size is ordinarily realized.
  • step S15 a grid line in the course direction and a grid line in the wale direction are deformed based on the pitch between face and rear stitches and the pitch of side movement, and more actual positions of stitches are obtained.
  • step S16 the external size of the knit fabric is calculated based on the obtained positions of the stitches.
  • a grid line model is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 6 .
  • Courses c1 to c4 and wales w1 to w5 are indicated, in which the wales w1 to w3 are face stitches and the wales w4 and w5 are rear stitches, and j denotes the course number and i denotes the wale number.
  • a straight or curved line on which stitches are arranged in each of the courses c1 to c4 and the wales w1 to w5 are grid lines.
  • the starting point of a knit fabric is arranged in, for example, the lower left portion of FIG. 6 .
  • the pitches between the wales w1 and w2, the wales w4 and w5, and the like are equal to pitches that are defined by gauges.
  • the pitch between the courses c1 and c2 is a weighted average of a pitch between face stitches ⁇ 3 and a pitch between rear stitches ⁇ 2, in which the weight is the stitch number of that pitch. Furthermore, the pitches from between the courses c1 and c2 to between the courses c3 and c4 are the same.
  • Data for defining grid lines is, for example, a coordinate arrangement of intersection points (stitches) of the grid lines, and deforming the grid lines refers to moving the coordinates of stitches.
  • a short grid line is close to a straight line and a long grid line deviates from a straight line.
  • a pitch of one stitch must hardly influence the arrangement of stitches that are widely distanced from that stitch. Therefore, it is preferable to use a moving average that is obtained by averaging of stitches in the number that allows the positions of the stitches to be aligned on a straight line.
  • FIG. 7 shows calculation of a pitch that is moved to the side, and when the texture sample includes a stitch to be moved to the side, a measured value is used. It is assumed that the size itself of the stitch is not changed due to side movement, and the size (xp 2 + yp 2 ) 1/2 is not changed, where xp and yp respectively refer to standard pitches that correspond to the pitch between face and face stitches and the pitch between face and rear stitches (the same applies to below). Then, a stitch 71 is rotated so as to be a stitch 72 along a circle 73 centered on the reference position, such as a base end, of the stitch. Note that another model for obtaining a pitch of side movement is conceivable and any approximating method between the model and the pitch may be used.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show a method for calculating a pitch that is moved to the side. Only the direction is shown in which the pitch of the stitch that is moved to the side shrinks, and the pitch of this stitch between the wales 3 and 4 is considered, where in FIG. 8 , the black circle ( ⁇ ) denotes the starting point of the stitch and the white circle (o) denotes the top end thereof. It is assumed that a denotes the top end position of the stitch before side movement, and a' denotes the position after side movement. It is assumed that when the position a' is on the wale 3, the pitch of this stitch between the wales 3 and 4 is 0. If x and y with respect to the position a' are defined as in FIG.
  • the pitch of this stitch between the wales 3 and 4 is -xp + x (where xp is a standard pitch), and the pitch between the courses 2 and 3 is y. Then, x and y are obtained assuming that the position a' is located on the line connecting between the base end and the position a and the distance between the position a' and the base end is equal to yp.
  • FIG. 9 shows the same calculation example with respect to another stitch.
  • FIG. 10 shows a way of thinking of the pitch of a stretched stitch, and it is assumed that the top end of this stitch converges from a position b to a position b'.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are used to calculate pitches between courses and pitches between wales in FIG. 11 .
  • a course 1 and the like of FIG. 15 denotes a pitch between the courses 1 and 2, and the like.
  • a to d are reference numerals of stitches. Note that the pitch between the wales 2 and 3 (xp + xp - (xp - xpa) + xp)/4 is obtained assuming that there are two stitches of a pitch xp, and the stitch a has a pitch - (xp - xpa), and the base end of the stitch c contributes the pitch xp.

  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show a simple average, but a moving average is preferable if the grid line is long.
  • pitches in the case of side movement are:
  • pitches are stored in a pitch storage unit 17, or obtained each time by calculation of a grid line deforming unit 19. Furthermore, it is assumed that miss and tuck stitches are irrelevant to deformation of grid lines, but an appropriate model may also be defined separately. When it is determined how the grid line is deformed, the positions of stitches are defined. This processing is executed in a short time without repeated calculation, and thus the external size of a knit fabric is obtained in a short time.
  • the positions of stitches at the end of a part may be disordered since stitches are shifted in a unit of a grid line.
  • processing in FIG. 13 is executed.
  • step S21 stitches at an end of a part or stitches within a predetermined number of courses such as 5 courses or 3 courses from the end are extracted.
  • the positions of stitches at the end may be changed by the stitches being connected to a sleeve and drawn by stitches of the sleeve. Therefore, when an end is connected to an end of another part, connection data of stitches of the other part is virtually added (step S22).
  • the stitch number of the end matches the stitch number of the other part, the stitches are connected to each other in a 1:1 relationship. If the stitch numbers do not match each other, connection by, for example, a double stitch is added.
  • steps S23 and S24 only stitches in the vicinity of the end are subjected to processing disclosed in Patent Literature 2 or the like, and are smoothed.
  • Detail of the processing is arbitrary, but, for example for each stitch, a tension based on the distance between the stitches, a distortion caused by the course direction and the wale direction being not orthogonal, and flexures in the course and wale directions based on the fact that ends of a knit fabric are likely to be curled are evaluated (step S23), and stitches are shifted based on these evaluated values (step S24).

Furthermore, the connection relationship of each stitch to the peripheral stitches and the type of the stitch, that is, a face or rear stitch are extracted (step S32).
  • the data has been obtained by calculation of knit data and an external size, and the like.
  • FIG. 15 shows correction of the knit design with display of two screens. If the external size of a knit fabric becomes clear, it is recognized whether or not the external size matches the directed size. Therefore, the obtained external shape of a knit fabric is compared with the shape data or the like based on the directed size. Then, on one screen, an image of the external shape of a knit fabric and an image of the shape data are displayed in an overlapping manner (step S41), and an input for correction of the design is accepted from the other screen (step S42). For example, pattern data is corrected to add or delete a stitch, and the design of a knit structure is changed. In order to add a stitch to a part of the knit fabric, the processing as Patent Literature 3 is preferably used, for example. Furthermore, as desired, the external shape of a knit fabric having the corrected design is obtained (step S43), and the procedure returns to step S41, where it is checked whether or not the external shape matches the directed size.
