Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for joining two textile fabrics and a quilting machine, which is operated according to the method.
- a seam is created, which has certain puncture points.
- the thread is guided by a needle of a quilting machine through the puncture points.
- the seam runs in a certain pattern, which on the one hand satisfies aesthetic requirements, and on the other hand is adapted to specific requirements, such as a certain robustness. In this case, it is necessary to position the puncture points, in particular in any corners of the pattern, comparatively accurately by means of the needle guiding the thread in order to obtain a comparatively high quality of the connected structure.
- the pattern has comparatively sharp corners, ie corners whose inner winding is smaller than 90 °, an abrupt deceleration and acceleration of the needle is required in this area in order to ensure a high machine speed.
- This can only be realized by means of a powerful drive technology, which is comparatively expensive.
- the mechanical stress of the mechanical components of the quilting machine is comparatively large, which is why with a high wear of the drive technology and further mechanics of the quilting machine must be expected. This requires a long downtime for maintenance or repair of the quilting machine.
- the apparatus includes a drive that is capable of moving along an axis X and carrying a carriage along an axis Y along the drive.
- the apparatus further comprises support means which are connected to the carriage and carry a support platform, wherein the support means is rotatable about an axis Z.
- a work unit is mounted on the platform, and the support means is constituted by a frame that drops vertically and is formed by a vertical arm that extends with a plurality of parts that are bent to form a C-shaped loop the end of which forms a support for the platform, the platform being further rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the plane passing through the axes X and Y and the axis coinciding with the working axis of the working unit.
- an automatic sewing machine with a sewing head for producing a tangential course of the needle relative to the seam to be produced has a rotary housing accommodating the needle bar and a housing accommodating the gripper, which housing can be pivotally driven by an actuating shaft in an angle of rotation with the rotary housing.
- a device for driving the actuating shaft and a drive shaft and a device for uncoupling a drive motor from the drive shaft are provided.
- the invention has for its object to provide a particularly suitable method for connecting two textile fabrics by means of a thread and a particularly suitable quilting machine, in which on the one hand increases a processing speed and preferably a mechanical load is reduced.

- a textile fabric for example, a woven fabric is used, which is woven in particular from wool, cotton or polyester threads.
- the two sheets are positioned one above the other, preferably in direct mechanical contact.
- the two textile fabrics are pressed against each other.
- a third textile fabric or the like for example a foam, is arranged between the two textile fabrics.
- the method provides that a first puncture point, a second puncture point and a third puncture point are determined, at which the thread is to be guided through the two textile fabrics. In this case, the thread should first be guided through the first puncture point following it through the second puncture point and in a further step through the third puncture point.
- an angle between the first and the third puncture point is determined, wherein the second puncture point forms the vertex of the angle.
- the angle is therefore between 0 ° and 180 °, the angle being equal to 180 °, provided that the three puncture points lie on a straight line and the second puncture point between the first and the third puncture point is arranged.
- a contour is determined on which the three puncture points lie, wherein the second puncture point between the first and the third puncture point is arranged on the contour.
- a spline interpolation is used, provided that the angle is less than or equal to a critical angle.
- the critical angle is 0 ° or 180 °.
- the spline interpolation is always used.
- the puncture points support points or nodes, the spline and the area between the puncture points is formed by means of at least piecewise continuous polynomials of the degree at least two.
- the derivation of the contour at the puncture points is continuous.
- the needle is moved along the contour, whereby the thread is guided through the fabric by means of the needle at each of the puncture points.
- a distance is used as a contour, for example, between the first piercing point and the second piercing point.
- the shortest connection between the first and the second puncture point is used as a contour.
- a distance is used as a contour between the second and the third puncture point. If the distance is used in both cases, the needle is thus moved directly in the region of the second puncture point according to the angle.
- the spline interpolation is carried out, if by means of the needle after passing the thread through the second puncture point in at least one direction a reversal of motion would have to take place to reach the third puncture point, which represents a comparatively high mechanical load.
- a fourth and a fifth puncture point are determined.
- the leadership of the thread through the fourth puncture point is in time before guiding the thread through the first puncture point.
- the thread is passed through the fifth puncture point.
- the fourth and fifth puncture points are also on the contour along which the needle is moved, with the first, second and third puncture points being between the fourth and a fifth puncture points.
- a distance is used as a contour between the fourth and the first puncture point when the angle formed between the fourth and the second puncture point, which has the first puncture point as the vertex, is greater than the critical angle.
- a distance is used as the contour between the third and the fifth puncture point when the angle formed between the second and the fifth puncture point, which has the third puncture point as vertex, is greater than the critical angle.
- the spline interpolation is used to determine the contour between the fourth and first puncture point, irrespective of the angle formed between the fourth and the second puncture point, which has the first puncture point as apex.
- the spline interpolation used to determine the contour which preferably takes place independently of the angle formed between the second and the fifth puncture point, which has the third puncture point as apex.
- the spline interpolation is used to determine the contour between the fourth and the fifth point, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth puncture points lying on the contour.
- cubic splines are used for spline interpolation.
- a cubic polynomial is used as the polynomial, ie a polynomial of degree 3.
- the contour at the second puncture point is twice continuously differentiable, which leads to a comparatively low load on the needle in the region of the second puncture point.
- a computational effort to create cubic splines is relatively low, which shortens the time to create the contour.
- Bezier curves are used to create the contour.
- Bezier curves are used to create the contour.
- square or cubic Bezier curves are used to determine the contour.
- the creation of the contour is likewise made possible by means of a comparatively simple calculation rule, whereby abrupt speed changes due to the continuous differentiability of the Bezier curve used as a contour are avoided during a movement of the needle along the contour.
- the thread is entangled at each puncture point with a lower thread, suitably on only one side of the means of two textile fabrics to be formed structure is arranged.
- the thread is guided by the needle from the remaining side through the two fabrics through and devoured there with the lower thread.
- the thread is again passed through the puncture point to the original side.

- the puncture points 44, 46, 52, 56 of the thread 20 is engulfed with the lower thread 26. Due to the guidance along the contour 68, a comparatively small force is applied to the needle 24. However, at least the force is reduced along the desired seam 40 as compared to guiding the needle 24 and thus guiding it at the second piercing point 46 along the angle ⁇ .
- a sixth step 74 the thread 20 is tightened, so that by means of the thread 20, a seam 76 is created, which corresponds to the desired seam 40.
- the seam 76 has the angle ⁇ in the region of the second puncture point 46.

- the tensioning of the thread 20 can alternatively take place, for example, in the sixth working step 72, ie already when guiding the needle 24 through the puncture points 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56.
- the method 34 is ended by means of an end event 78. This is either a removal of the created blanket 16 from the quilting machine 2 or the use of another pattern 42, which is for example circular or the like.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verbinden zweier textiler Flächengebilde sowie eine Steppmaschine, die gemäß dem Verfahren betrieben ist.The invention relates to a method for joining two textile fabrics and a quilting machine, which is operated according to the method.
In der Textilindustrie ist es erforderlich, zwei textile Flächengebilde, insbesondere Stoffe, miteinander zu verbinden. So weisen beispielsweise Jacken einen von dem Innenfutter abweichenden Außenstoff auf. Auch bei Decken oder Vorhängen werden zwei Stoffbahnen miteinander verbunden um die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen der jeweiligen Seiten des Produkts erfüllen zu können. Meist befindet sich zwischen den beiden textilen Flächengebilden eine Polsterung, beispielsweise ein Schaumstoff. Die Verbindung der textilen Flächengewebe erfolgt meistens mittels eines Fadens, da auf diese Weise eine vergleichsweise flexible und robuste Verbindung erschaffen wird.In the textile industry it is necessary to combine two textile fabrics, in particular fabrics. For example, jackets have a deviating from the lining outer fabric. Even with blankets or curtains, two panels are connected to meet the different requirements of the respective sides of the product. Usually there is a padding between the two textile fabrics, for example a foam. The connection of the textile fabrics is usually done by means of a thread, since in this way a comparatively flexible and robust connection is created.
Mittels des Fadens wird eine Naht erstellt, die bestimmte Einstichpunkte aufweist. Hierbei wird der Faden mittels einer Nadel einer Steppmaschine durch die Einstichpunkte geführt. Die Naht verläuft in einem bestimmten Muster, das einerseits ästhetische Ansprüche erfüllt, und das andererseits auf bestimmte Erfordernisse angepasst ist, wie beispielsweise eine bestimme Robustheit. Hierbei ist es erforderlich, die Einstichpunkte, insbesondere in etwaigen Ecken des Musters, vergleichsweise genau mittels der den Faden führenden Nadel anzupositionieren, um eine vergleichsweise hohe Qualität der verbundenen Gebildes zu erhalten.By means of the thread a seam is created, which has certain puncture points. Here, the thread is guided by a needle of a quilting machine through the puncture points. The seam runs in a certain pattern, which on the one hand satisfies aesthetic requirements, and on the other hand is adapted to specific requirements, such as a certain robustness. In this case, it is necessary to position the puncture points, in particular in any corners of the pattern, comparatively accurately by means of the needle guiding the thread in order to obtain a comparatively high quality of the connected structure.
Falls das Muster vergleichsweise spitze Ecken aufweist, also Ecken, deren Innenwickel kleiner als 90° ist, ist in diesem Bereich ein abruptes Abbremsen und Beschleunigen der Nadel erforderlich, um eine hohe Maschinengeschwindigkeit zu gewährleisten. Dies kann lediglich mittels einer leistungsstarken Antriebstechnik realisiert werden, die vergleichsweise kostenintensiv ist. Zudem ist die mechanische Belastung der mechanischen Komponenten der Steppmaschine vergleichsweise groß, weswegen mit einem hohen Verschleiß der Antriebstechnik sowie weiterer Mechanik der Steppmaschine gerechnet werden muss. Diese bedingt eine lange Stillstandszeit zur Wartung oder Reparatur der Steppmaschine.If the pattern has comparatively sharp corners, ie corners whose inner winding is smaller than 90 °, an abrupt deceleration and acceleration of the needle is required in this area in order to ensure a high machine speed. This can only be realized by means of a powerful drive technology, which is comparatively expensive. In addition, the mechanical stress of the mechanical components of the quilting machine is comparatively large, which is why with a high wear of the drive technology and further mechanics of the quilting machine must be expected. This requires a long downtime for maintenance or repair of the quilting machine.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein besonders geeignetes Verfahren zum Verbinden zweier textiler Flächengebilde mittels eines Fadens sowie eine besonders geeignete Steppmaschine anzugeben, bei denen einerseits eine Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit erhöht und vorzugsweise eine mechanische Belastung reduziert ist.The invention has for its object to provide a particularly suitable method for connecting two textile fabrics by means of a thread and a particularly suitable quilting machine, in which on the one hand increases a processing speed and preferably a mechanical load is reduced.
Hinsichtlich des Verfahrens wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und hinsichtlich der Steppmaschine durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 7 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.With regard to the method, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and with respect to the quilting machine by the features of claim 7 according to the invention. Advantageous developments and refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.
Das Verfahren dient dem Verbinden zweier textiler Flächengebilde mittels eines Fadens. Als textiles Flächengebilde wird beispielsweise ein gewebter Stoff herangezogen, der insbesondere aus Wolle, Baumwolle oder Polyesterfäden gewebt ist. Insbesondere werden die beiden Flächengebilde übereinander positioniert, wobei diese vorzugsweise in direktem mechanischem Kontakt sind. Zweckmäßigerweise werden die beiden textilen Flächengebilde gegeneinander gepresst. Beispielsweise wird zwischen den beiden textilen Flächengebilden ein drittes textiles Flächengebilde oder dergleichen, beispielsweise ein Schaumstoff angeordnet. Das Verfahren sieht vor, dass ein erster Einstichpunkt, ein zweiter Einstichpunkt und ein dritter Einstichpunkt bestimmt werden, an denen jeweils der Faden durch die beiden textilen Flächengebilde geführt werden soll. Hierbei soll der Faden zunächst durch das erste Einstichpunkt darauf folgend durch den zweiten Einstichpunkt und in einem weiteren Schritt durch den dritten Einstichpunkt geführt werden.The method is used to connect two textile fabrics by means of a thread. As a textile fabric, for example, a woven fabric is used, which is woven in particular from wool, cotton or polyester threads. In particular, the two sheets are positioned one above the other, preferably in direct mechanical contact. Conveniently, the two textile fabrics are pressed against each other. For example, a third textile fabric or the like, for example a foam, is arranged between the two textile fabrics. The method provides that a first puncture point, a second puncture point and a third puncture point are determined, at which the thread is to be guided through the two textile fabrics. In this case, the thread should first be guided through the first puncture point following it through the second puncture point and in a further step through the third puncture point.
In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird ein Winkel zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Einstichpunkt bestimmt, wobei der zweite Einstichpunkt den Scheitel des Winkels bildet. Der Winkel ist folglich zwischen 0° und 180°, wobei der Winkel gleich 180° ist, sofern die drei Einstichpunkte auf einer Geraden liegen und der zweite Einstichpunkt zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Einstichpunkt angeordnet ist.In a further step, an angle between the first and the third puncture point is determined, wherein the second puncture point forms the vertex of the angle. The angle is therefore between 0 ° and 180 °, the angle being equal to 180 °, provided that the three puncture points lie on a straight line and the second puncture point between the first and the third puncture point is arranged.
In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird eine Kontur bestimmt, auf der die drei Einstichpunkte liegen, wobei der zweite Einstichpunkt zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Einstichpunkt auf der Kontur angeordnet ist. Zur Bestimmung der Kontur wird eine Splineinterpolation herangezogen, sofern der Winkel kleiner oder gleich einem Grenzwinkel ist. Beispielsweise ist der Grenzwinkel gleich 0° oder 180°. Mit anderen Worten wird stets die Splineinterpolation herangezogen. Hierbei bilden die Einstichpunkte Stützstellen, oder auch Knoten, der Spline und der Bereich zwischen den Einstichpunkten ist mittels zumindest stückweiser stetiger Polynome vom Grade mindestens zwei gebildet. Infolgedessen ist die Ableitung der Kontur an den Einstichpunkten stetig. In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird die Nadel entlang der Kontur bewegt, wobei mittels der Nadel an jedem der Einstichpunkte der Faden durch die Flächengebilde geführt wird.In a further working step, a contour is determined on which the three puncture points lie, wherein the second puncture point between the first and the third puncture point is arranged on the contour. To determine the contour, a spline interpolation is used, provided that the angle is less than or equal to a critical angle. For example, the critical angle is 0 ° or 180 °. In other words, the spline interpolation is always used. Here, the puncture points support points or nodes, the spline and the area between the puncture points is formed by means of at least piecewise continuous polynomials of the degree at least two. As a result, the derivation of the contour at the puncture points is continuous. In a further step, the needle is moved along the contour, whereby the thread is guided through the fabric by means of the needle at each of the puncture points.
Aufgrund der Verwendung der Splineinterpolation bei Winkeln kleiner oder gleich dem Grenzwinkel ist die Ableitung der Kontur beim zweiten Einstichpunkt stetig. Somit ist kein abrupter Richtungswechsel und/oder Beschleunigung der Nadel im Bereich des zweiten Einstichpunkts erforderlich. Folglich ist die Änderung der Kraft, die auf die Nadel oder auf eine mit dieser gekoppelten Mechanik aufgebracht wird, also deren jeweilige Beschleunigung vergleichsweise gering, zumindest jedoch im Vergleich zu einer den Winkel aufweisenden Kontur verringert, sodass die mechanische Belastung der Nadel ebenfalls verringert ist. In Folge dessen ist der Verschleiß verringert. Zudem sind lediglich vergleichsweise gering dimensionierte Antriebskomponenten für die Bewegung der Nadel erforderlich. Auf diese Weise wird eine etwaige, das Verfahren ausführende Steppmaschine vergleichsweise weniger belastet, sodass deren Stillstandszeit reduziert werden können. Insbesondere dient das Verfahren dem Betrieb einer Steppmaschine. Sofern der Winkel größer als der Grenzwinkel ist, wird beispielsweise zwischen dem ersten Einstichpunkt und dem zweiten Einstichpunkt eine Strecke als Kontur herangezogen. Mit anderen Worten wird die kürzeste Verbindung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Einstichpunkt als Kontur herangezogen. Alternativ oder in Kombination hierzu wird zwischen dem zweiten und dem dritten Einstichpunkt eine Strecke als Kontur herangezogen. Sofern beidemal die Strecke herangezogen wird, wird die Nadel folglich im Bereich des zweiten Einstichpunkts direkt entsprechend dem Winkel bewegt.Due to the use of spline interpolation at angles smaller than or equal to the critical angle, the derivation of the contour at the second puncture point is continuous. Thus, no abrupt change of direction and / or acceleration of the needle in the region of the second puncture point is required. Consequently, the change in the force applied to the needle or to a mechanism coupled to it, ie its respective acceleration is comparatively low, but at least reduced in comparison to an angle contour, so that the mechanical load on the needle is also reduced. As a result, the wear is reduced. In addition, only relatively small-sized drive components for the movement of the needle are required. In this way, any quilting machine carrying out the method is loaded comparatively less, so that its downtime can be reduced. In particular, the method serves the operation of a quilting machine. If the angle is greater than the critical angle, a distance is used as a contour, for example, between the first piercing point and the second piercing point. In other words, the shortest connection between the first and the second puncture point is used as a contour. Alternatively or in Combination for this purpose, a distance is used as a contour between the second and the third puncture point. If the distance is used in both cases, the needle is thus moved directly in the region of the second puncture point according to the angle.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird als Grenzwinkel 90° herangezogen. Mit anderen Worten erfolgt die Splineinterpolation, sofern mittels der Nadel nach Führen des Fadens durch den zweiten Einstichpunkt in zumindest eine Richtung eine Bewegungsumkehr zum Erreichen des dritten Einstichpunktes erfolgen müsste, was eine vergleichsweise hohe mechanische Belastung darstellt.Appropriately, 90 ° is used as a critical angle. In other words, the spline interpolation is carried out, if by means of the needle after passing the thread through the second puncture point in at least one direction a reversal of motion would have to take place to reach the third puncture point, which represents a comparatively high mechanical load.
Zweckmäßigerweise werden ein vierter und ein fünfter Einstichpunkt bestimmt. Hierbei ist die Führung des Fadens durch den vierten Einstichpunkt zeitlich vor dem Führen des Fadens durch den ersten Einstichpunkt. Nachdem der Faden durch den dritten Einstichpunkt geführt wurde, wird der Faden durch den fünften Einstichpunkt geführt. Zusammenfassend befinden sich die vierten und fünften Einstichpunkte ebenfalls auf der Kontur, entlang derer die Nadel bewegt wird, wobei der erste, zweite und dritte Einstichpunkt zwischen dem vierter und ein fünfter Einstichpunkt liegen. Beispielsweise wird als Kontur zwischen dem vierten und dem ersten Einstichpunkt eine Strecke herangezogen, wenn der zwischen dem vierten und dem zweiten Einstichpunkt gebildeten Winkel, der den ersten Einstichpunkt als Scheitel aufweist, größer als der Grenzwinkel ist. Alternativ oder in Kombination hierzu wird als Kontur zwischen dem dritten und dem fünften Einstichpunkt eine Strecke herangezogen, wenn der zwischen dem zweiten und dem fünften Einstichpunkt gebildeten Winkel, der den dritten Einstichpunkt als Scheitel aufweist, größer als der Grenzwinkel ist.Conveniently, a fourth and a fifth puncture point are determined. In this case, the leadership of the thread through the fourth puncture point is in time before guiding the thread through the first puncture point. After the thread has been passed through the third puncture point, the thread is passed through the fifth puncture point. In summary, the fourth and fifth puncture points are also on the contour along which the needle is moved, with the first, second and third puncture points being between the fourth and a fifth puncture points. For example, a distance is used as a contour between the fourth and the first puncture point when the angle formed between the fourth and the second puncture point, which has the first puncture point as the vertex, is greater than the critical angle. Alternatively or in combination therewith, a distance is used as the contour between the third and the fifth puncture point when the angle formed between the second and the fifth puncture point, which has the third puncture point as vertex, is greater than the critical angle.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform wird, sofern der Winkel zwischen dem ersten, zweiten und dritten Einstichpunkt kleiner als der Grenzwinkel ist, zur Bestimmung der Kontur zwischen dem vierten und ersten Einstichpunkt die Splineinterpolation herangezogen, unabhängig von dem zwischen dem vierten und dem zweiten Einstichpunkt gebildeten Winkel, der den ersten Einstichpunkt als Scheitel aufweist. Beispielsweise wird zur Bestimmung der Kontur zwischen dem dritten und dem fünften Einstichpunkt die Splineinterpolation zur Bestimmung der Kontur herangezogen, was bevorzugt unabhängig von dem zwischen dem zweiten und dem fünften Einstichpunkt gebildeten Winkel erfolgt, der den dritten Einstichpunkt als Scheitel aufweist. Zusammenfassend wird zur Bestimmung der Kontur zwischen dem vierten und dem fünften Punkt die Splineinterpolation herangezogen, wobei der erste, zweite, dritte, vierte und fünfte Einstichpunkt auf der Kontur liegen. Infolgedessen ist bei einer Bewegung der Nadel zwischen dem vierten und dem fünften Einstichpunkt entlang der Kontur die mechanische Belastung der Nadel weiter verringert, auch wenn ein zwischen dem vierten und zweiten Einstichpunkt gebildete Winkel mit dem ersten Einstichpunkt als Scheitelpunkt größer als der Grenzwinkel ist. Somit ist der Übergang zwischen dem Bereich der Kontur, der mittels einer Strecke und dem Bereich der Kontur, der mittels einer Splineinterpolation bestimmt wird vergleichsweise sanft, sofern eine Strecke zur Bestimmung der Kontur herangezogen wird.In a further embodiment, if the angle between the first, second and third puncture point is smaller than the critical angle, the spline interpolation is used to determine the contour between the fourth and first puncture point, irrespective of the angle formed between the fourth and the second puncture point, which has the first puncture point as apex. For example, to determine the contour between the third and the fifth puncture point the spline interpolation used to determine the contour, which preferably takes place independently of the angle formed between the second and the fifth puncture point, which has the third puncture point as apex. In summary, the spline interpolation is used to determine the contour between the fourth and the fifth point, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth puncture points lying on the contour. As a result, upon movement of the needle between the fourth and fifth piercing points along the contour, the mechanical load on the needle is further reduced, even though an angle formed between the fourth and second piercing points with the first piercing point as the apex is greater than the critical angle. Thus, the transition between the region of the contour, which is comparatively gentle by means of a path and the region of the contour which is determined by means of a spline interpolation, if a distance is used to determine the contour.
Beispielsweise werden zur Splineinterpolation kubische Splines herangezogen. Mit anderen Worten wird als Polynom ein kubisches Polynom herangezogen, also ein Polynom vom Grade 3. Auf diese Weise ist die Kontur beim zweiten Einstichpunkt zweimal stetig differenzierbar, was zu einer vergleichsweise geringen Belastung der Nadel im Bereich des zweiten Einstichpunktes führt. Auch ist ein Berechnungsaufwand zur Erstellung von kubischen Splines vergleichsweise gering, was die Zeit zur Erstellung der Kontur verkürzt.For example, cubic splines are used for spline interpolation. In other words, a cubic polynomial is used as the polynomial, ie a polynomial of degree 3. In this way, the contour at the second puncture point is twice continuously differentiable, which leads to a comparatively low load on the needle in the region of the second puncture point. Also, a computational effort to create cubic splines is relatively low, which shortens the time to create the contour.
Alternativ hierzu werden Bezierkurven zur Erstellung der Kontur herangezogen. Beispielsweise werden quadratische oder kubische Bezierkurven zur Bestimmung der Kontur verwendet. Auf diese Weise ist ebenfalls mittels vergleichsweise einfacher Berechnungsvorschrift die Erstellung der Kontur ermöglicht, wobei bei einer Bewegung der Nadel entlang der Kontur abrupte Geschwindigkeitsänderungen aufgrund der stetigen Differenzierbarkeit der als Kontur herangezogenen Bezierkurve vermieden werden.Alternatively, Bezier curves are used to create the contour. For example, square or cubic Bezier curves are used to determine the contour. In this way, the creation of the contour is likewise made possible by means of a comparatively simple calculation rule, whereby abrupt speed changes due to the continuous differentiability of the Bezier curve used as a contour are avoided during a movement of the needle along the contour.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird der Faden bei jedem Einstichpunkt mit einem Unterfaden verschlungen, der geeigneterweise auf lediglich einer Seite des mittels der beiden textilen Flächengebilde zu bildenden Gebildes angeordnet ist. Hierbei wird der Faden mittels der Nadel von der verbliebenen Seite durch die beiden Flächengebilde hindurch geführt und dort mit dem Unterfaden verschlungen. Hieran anschließend wird der Faden erneut durch den Einstichpunkt auf die ursprüngliche Seite geführt. Dabei verbleibt der Unterfaden auf der ursprünglichen Seite des Gebildes. Mit anderen Worten werden die beiden textilen Flächengebilde versteppt. Zusammenfassend werden mittels des Verfahrens zwei textile Flächengebilde mittels des Fadens verbunden, wobei als Verbindungsart Steppen herangezogen wird. Insbesondere werden drei, vier oder mehr textile Flächengebilde mittels des Verfahrens verbunden, die geeigneterweise übereinander gestapelt sind. Vorzugsweise wird der Faden durch sämtliche textile Flächengebilde geführt.Appropriately, the thread is entangled at each puncture point with a lower thread, suitably on only one side of the means of two textile fabrics to be formed structure is arranged. In this case, the thread is guided by the needle from the remaining side through the two fabrics through and devoured there with the lower thread. Following this, the thread is again passed through the puncture point to the original side. The bobbin thread remains on the original side of the structure. In other words, the two fabrics are quilted. In summary, by means of the method, two textile fabrics are connected by means of the thread, stepping being used as the type of connection. In particular, three, four or more fabrics are joined by the method, suitably stacked on top of each other. Preferably, the thread is passed through all the textile fabrics.
Die Steppmaschine weist vorzugsweise zwei Wickelrollen auf, auf denen die zu verbindenden textilen Flächengebilde zumindest teilweise aufgerollt sind. Insbesondere umfasst die Steppmaschine eine weitere Wickelrolle, auf die die verbundenen Flächengebilde nach deren Verbindung miteinander aufgerollt werden. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die weitere Aufwickelrolle drehzahl- und/oder momentengeregelt. Auf diese Weise ist stets die gleiche Längsgeschwindigkeit der textilen Flächengebilde vor Aufwickeln auf die Aufwickelrolle realisierbar. Zudem ist ein Durchhängen der biegeschlaffen textilen Flächengebilde aufgrund der Momentenregelung unterbunden.The quilting machine preferably has two winding rolls on which the textile fabrics to be joined are at least partially rolled up. In particular, the quilting machine comprises a further winding roll on which the bonded fabrics are rolled up after their connection. Conveniently, the further take-up roller speed and / or torque-controlled. In this way, the same longitudinal speed of the fabric can always be realized before winding onto the take-up reel. In addition, sagging of the pliable textile fabric is prevented due to the torque control.
Zweckmäßigerweise umfasst die Steppmaschine eine Nadel, mittels derer ein Faden geführt werden kann. Beispielsweise weist die Nadel im Bereich einer Spitze ein Loch auf, innerhalb dessen der Faden teilweise angeordnet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise umfasst die Steppmaschine eine Halterung oder Aufnahme für eine Rolle, auf der der Faden teilweise aufgewickelt ist. Zweckmäßigerweise weist die Steppmaschine ferner eine Halterung oder Führung für einen Unterfaden auf. Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Unterfaden auf der der Nadel gegenüberliegenden Seite der beiden Flächengebilde angeordnet.Conveniently, the quilting machine comprises a needle by means of which a thread can be guided. For example, the needle has a hole in the region of a tip, within which the thread is partially arranged. Conveniently, the quilting machine comprises a holder or receptacle for a roll on which the thread is partially wound. Conveniently, the quilting machine further comprises a holder or guide for a lower thread. Conveniently, the lower thread is arranged on the opposite side of the needle of the two sheets.
Beispielsweise umfasst die Steppmaschine eine Anzahl von Nadeln, die vorzugsweise in einem Verbund befestigt sind. Hierbei werden die beiden Nadeln zweckmäßigerweise synchron bewegt. Mit anderen Worten sind die Nadeln besonders bevorzugt starr miteinander verbunden, sodass lediglich eine einzige Mechanik zur Bewegung sämtlicher Nadeln vorhanden sein muss. Beispielsweise sind die Nadeln an einem Kopf montiert, wobei die Steppmaschine zweckmäßigerweise eine Nachführung umfasst, mittels derer ungewollte Bewegungen des textilen Flächengebildes senkrecht zu dessen Bewegungsrichtung kompensiert werden. Mit anderen Worten wird der Kopf nachgeführt. Insbesondere ist jeder Nadel ein Faden zugeordnet.For example, the quilting machine comprises a number of needles, which are preferably fastened in a composite. Here, the two needles are expediently moved synchronously. In other words, the needles are particularly preferably rigidly connected to each other, so that only a single mechanism for moving all the needles must be present. For example, the needles are mounted on a head, wherein the quilting machine expediently comprises a tracking, by means of which unwanted movements of the textile fabric are compensated perpendicular to the direction of movement. In other words, the head is tracked. In particular, each needle is associated with a thread.
Beim Betrieb der Steppmaschine werden in einem ersten Arbeitsschritt ein erster Einstichpunkt, ein zweiter Einstichpunkt und ein dritter Einstichpunkt bestimmt. In einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird ein Winkel zwischen dem ersten Einstichpunkt, dem zweiten Einstichpunkt und dem dritten Einstichpunkt bestimmt. Hieran anschließend wird eine Kontur bestimmt, entlang derer die Nadel der Steppmaschine bewegt wird, wobei sich die drei Einstichpunkte auf der Kontur befinden. Der Faden wird durch die textilen Flächengebilde mittels der Nadel geführt, wenn sich die Nadel an einem der Einstichpunkte befindet. Zur Bestimmung der Kontur wird eine Splineinterpolation herangezogen, sofern der Winkel zwischen dem ersten, dem zweiten und dem dritten Einstichpunkt kleiner oder gleich einem Grenzwinkel ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Steppmaschine kontinuierlich getaktet betrieben.During operation of the quilting machine, a first puncture point, a second puncture point and a third puncture point are determined in a first step. In a further step, an angle between the first puncture point, the second puncture point and the third puncture point is determined. Following this, a contour is determined, along which the needle of the quilting machine is moved, wherein the three puncture points are located on the contour. The thread is passed through the fabric by means of the needle when the needle is at one of the puncture points. A spline interpolation is used to determine the contour if the angle between the first, the second and the third puncture point is less than or equal to a critical angle. Appropriately, the quilting machine is operated continuously clocked.

Die Verbindung des Oberstoffs 6, der Unterstoffs 10 sowie des Futterstoffs 14 erfolgt mittels eines Fadens 20, der auf einer ersten Spindel 22 aufgewickelt ist. Der Faden 20 wird mittels einer Nadel 24 durch den Oberstoff 6, den Futterstoff 14 und den Unterstoff 10 geführt. Dort wird der Faden 20 mit einem Unterfaden 26 verschlungen, der auf einer zweiten Spindel 28 aufgewickelt ist, die auf der der erste Spindel 22 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Stoffe 6, 10, 14 und der Decke 16 positioniert ist. Nach Verschlingen des Fadens 20 mit dem Unterfaden 26 wird der Faden 20 erneut mittels der Nadel 24 auf die Seite der ersten Spindel 22 geführt. Mit anderen Worten werden die Stoffe 6, 10, 14 mittels des Fadens 20 versteppt. Die Nadel 24 ist an einem Nadelkopf 30 angebunden, der mittels nicht näher dargestellter elektrischer Antriebe gesteuert wird. Hierbei ist die Steuerung der elektrischen Antriebe mittels einer Steuereinheit 32 realisiert, die ein in
Nach dem Start 36 des Verfahrens 34 wird in einem ersten Arbeitsschritt 38 eine gewünscht Naht 40 bestimmt, mittels derer der Oberstoff 6, der Unterstoff 8 sowie der Futterstoff 14 mit einander verbunden werden sollen. Die in
In einem zweiten Arbeitsschritt 62 wird ein Winkel α zwischen dem ersten Einstichpunkt 44 und dem dritten Einstichpunkt 48 bestimmt, wobei der zweite Einstichpunkt 46 den Scheitelpunkt bildet. Mit anderen Worten wird der Schnittwinkel zwischen der ersten Geraden 58 und der zweiten Geraden 60 bestimmt. Der Winkel α wird mit einem Grenzwinkel β verglichen, der 90° beträgt. Falls der Winkel α kleiner als der Grenzwinkel β ist, wird in einem dritten Arbeitsschritt 64 zu dem ersten, zweiten und dritten Einstichpunkt 44, 46, 48 der vierte und fünfte Einstichpunkt 50, 52 hinzugezogen und in einem vierten Arbeitsschritt 66 eine diese Einstichpunkt 44, 46, 48, 50, 52 verbindende Kontur 68 mittels Splineinterpolation bestimmt, die in
Alternativ werden Bezierkurven zur Erstellung der Kontur 68 herangezogen. Infolgedessen ist die Kontur 68 im Wesentlichen kontinuierlich gekrümmt und weist keinen spitzen Winkel auf. Mit anderen Worten weicht die Kontur 68 im Bereich des zweiten Einstichpunkts 46 vergleichsweise stark von der gewünschten Naht 40 ab. In einer weiteren Alternative wird im vierten Arbeitsschritt 66 zwischen dem vierten Einstichpunkt 50 und dem ersten Einstichpunkt 44 sowie zwischen dem dritten Einstichpunkt 48 und dem fünften Einstichpunkt 52 eine Strecke als Kontur 68 herangezogen, wohingegen zwischen dem ersten, zweiten und dritten Einstichpunkt 44, 46, 48 die Kontur 68 mittels der Splineinterpolation bestimmt wird, wie in
Sofern der zwischen den Einstichpunkten gebildete Winkel α größer als der Grenzwinkel β ist, wird ein fünfter Arbeitsschritt 70 ausgeführt, bei dem die einzelnen Einstichpunkte mittels einer geraden Strecke verbunden werden. Dies ist beispielsweise zwischen dem vierten Einstichpunkt 50 und dem sechsten Einstichpunkt 54 sowie weiteren Einstichpunkten entlang der ersten Geradem 58 als auch zwischen dem fünften Einstichpunkt und dem siebten Einstichpunkt 56 sowie weiteren Einstichpunkten gegeben, die auf der zweiten Geraden 60 liegen.If the angle α formed between the puncture points is greater than the critical angle β, a
In einem sich an die Erstellung der Kontur 68 anschließenden sechsten Arbeitsschritt 72 wird die Nadel 24 mittels des Nadelkopfes 30 entlang der Kontur 68 bewegt. Hierbei wird die Nadel 54 und somit auch der Faden 20 zunächst durch den sechsten Einstichpunkt 54 bewegt. In Folge dessen befindet sich der Faden 20 auf der Seite der zweiten Spindel 28. Dort wird der Faden 20 mit dem Unterfaden 26 verschlungen und der Faden 20 erneut durch den sechsten Einstichpunkt 54 geführt. Hieran anschließend wird die Nadel zu dem vierten Einstichpunkt 50 entlang der Kontur 68 bewegt und der Faden 20 auch dort durch das Einstichpunkt 50 geführt und mit dem Unterfaden 26 verschlungen. Nach der Verschlingung wird der Faden 20 erneut durch den vierten Einstichpunkt 50 geführt. Hieran anschließend wird die Nadel weiter entlang der Kontur 68 bewegt, wobei die Nadel 24 zunächst durch den ersten Einstichpunkt 44, daran anschließend durch den dritten Einstichpunkt 46, daran anschließend durch den fünften Einstichpunkt 52 und anschließend durch den siebten Einstichpunkt 56 geführt wird. An jedem der Einstichpunkte 44, 46, 52, 56 wird der Faden 20 mit dem Unterfaden 26 verschlungen.
Aufgrund der Führung entlang der Kontur 68 wird auf die Nadel 24 eine vergleichsweise geringe Kraft aufgebracht. Zumindest ist die Kraft jedoch im Vergleich zu einem Führen der Nadel 24 entlang der gewünschten Naht 40 und folglich einem Führen bei dem zweiten Einstichpunkt 46 entlang des Winkels α verringert.In a subsequent to the creation of the
Due to the guidance along the
In einem sechsten Arbeitsschritt 74 wird der Faden 20 gestrafft, sodass mittels des Fadens 20 eine Naht 76 erstellt ist, die der gewünschten Naht 40 entspricht. Mit anderen Worten weist die Naht 76 im Bereich des zweiten Einstichpunkts 46 den Winkel α auf. In Folge des Straffziehens des Fadens 20 ist der Oberstoff 6, der Unterstoff 10 und der Futterstoff 17 fest miteinander verbunden und die Decke 16 ist erstellt, die anschließend auf die Aufwickelrolle 18 aufgewickelt wird.In a
Hieran anschließend wird erneut das Muster 42 zur Verbindung der Stoffe 6, 10, 14 mittels des Fadens 20 und der hieraus erstellten Naht 76 erstellt, das in weitere Bereiche der Stoffe 6, 10, 14 eingebracht werden soll. Das Straffziehen des Fadens 20 kann alternativ beispielsweise in dem sechsten Arbeitsschritt 72 erfolgen, also bereits bei Führen der Nadel 24 durch die Einstichpunkte 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56. Mittels eines Endereignisses 78 wird das Verfahren 34 beendet. Dies ist entweder ein Entfernen der erstellten Decke 16 aus der Steppmaschine 2 oder das Verwenden eines weiteren Musters 42, das beispielsweise kreisförmig oder dergleichen ist.Following this, the
