Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Einstellen einer Kettenwirkmaschine, bei dem man einen Wirkwerkzeugbereich betrachtet und wobei man zum Betrachten des Wirkwerkzeugbereichs eine Kamera verwendet und den Wirkwerkzeugbereich auf einem Display darstellt.The invention relates to a method for adjusting a warp knitting machine, in which one considers a knitting tool area and wherein one uses a camera for viewing the knitting tool area and displays the knitting tool area on a display.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Hilfsanordnung zum Einstellen einer Kettenwirkmaschine mit einer Hilfseinrichtung zum Betrachten des Wirkwerkzeugbereichs, wobei die Hilfseinrichtung eine Kamera aufweist, mit der ein Wirkwerkzeugbereich aufnehmbar ist, und ein Display vorgesehen ist, auf dem der Wirkwerkzeugbereich darstellbar ist. Ein derartiges Verfahren und eine derartige Hilfsanordnung sind aus US 5 912 816 A bekannt. Hier wird eine Kamera verwendet, die vor dem Wirkwerkzeugbereich mit Hilfe eines Linearantriebs hin- und hergefahren werden kann.Furthermore, the invention relates to an auxiliary arrangement for setting a warp knitting machine with an auxiliary device for viewing the knitting tool area, wherein the auxiliary device comprises a camera, with a Wirkwerkzeugbereich can be accommodated, and a display is provided, on which the knitting tool area can be displayed. Such a method and such an auxiliary arrangement are made US Pat. No. 5,912,816 known. Here, a camera is used, which can be moved back and forth in front of the Wirkwerkzeugbereich using a linear drive.

Im Betrieb einer Kettenwirkmaschine arbeiten Wirkwerkzeuge zusammen, um Maschen zu bilden. Beispielsweise müssen Legenadeln oder andere Fadenführer relativ zu Wirknadeln, die auch als Arbeitsnadeln bezeichnet werden, bewegt werden, um Maschen bilden zu können. Die Wirknadeln sind dabei an einer Wirknadelbarre angeordnet. Die Legenadeln sind an einer oder auch mehreren Legebarren angeordnet. In Abhängigkeit von der sogenannten Feinheit der Maschine, d.h. von der Anzahl der Wirknadeln pro Zoll Breite, haben die Wirknadeln einen relativ kleinen Abstand zueinander. Durch diesen Abstand, der auch als "Nadelgasse" bezeichnet wird, müssen die Fadenführer kollisionsfrei zu den Wirknadeln hindurchgeführt werden. Man ist daher bestrebt, in der Null- oder Neutralstellung der Maschine jeden Fadenführer möglichst mittig zwischen zwei Wirknadeln zu positionieren und die Barren entsprechend zu justieren. Weiterhin besteht die Möglichkeit, eine sogenannte "Rasterfahrt" im Stand der Maschine vorzunehmen. Hierbei ist eine Verstellung der Fadenführer um eine Wirknadel der Nadelbarre möglich.In the operation of a warp knitting machine knitting tools work together to form stitches. For example, guide needles or other yarn guides must be moved relative to knitting needles, also referred to as working needles, to be able to form stitches. The knitting needles are arranged on a knitting needle bar. The guide needles are arranged on one or more guide bars. Depending on the so-called fineness of the machine, i. from the number of knitting needles per inch width, the knitting needles have a relatively small distance from each other. Due to this distance, which is also referred to as "needle alley", the thread guides must be guided collision-free to the knitting needles. It is therefore anxious to position each yarn guide in the neutral or neutral position of the machine as centrally as possible between two knitting needles and to adjust the ingot accordingly. Furthermore, it is possible to make a so-called "raster drive" in the state of the machine. Here, an adjustment of the thread guide to a knitting needle needle bar is possible.

Um die entsprechende Einstellung vorzunehmen, verwendet der Werker eine Lupe, durch die er hindurch den Wirkwerkzeugbereich betrachtet. In Abhängigkeit von der wahrgenommenen Position der Wirkwerkzeuge relativ zueinander betätigt er verschiedene Schalter oder Taster an einem Bedienpult, um Einstellsignale zu erzeugen. Das Bedienpult ist über ein Kabel mit der Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine verbunden, die in Abhängigkeit von den Einstellsignalen die Position einer Barre verändert.To make the appropriate setting, the worker uses a magnifying glass to look through the knitting tool area. Depending on the perceived position of the knitting tools relative to each other, he actuates various switches or buttons on a control panel to generate setting signals. The control panel is connected via a cable to the control of the warp knitting machine, which changes the position of a bar depending on the setting signals.

Aus CN 104 131 410 B ist es bekannt, ein Bedienpult zu verwenden, das leitungslos mit der Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine verbunden ist.Out CN 104 131 410 B It is known to use a control panel, which is connected without wires to the control of the warp knitting machine.

Die Verwendung der Lupe und des Bedienpults gleichzeitig setzt eine gewisse Geschicklichkeit des Werkers voraus. Vielfach muss man auf dem Bedienpult auch noch mehrere Bedienelemente gleichzeitig betätigen, beispielsweise einen Schlüsselschalter in eine bestimmte Position drehen und dort festhalten und gleichzeitig bestimmte Taster bewegen.The use of the magnifying glass and the control panel at the same time requires a certain skill of the worker. In many cases you have to operate several control elements on the control panel at the same time, For example, turn a key switch to a certain position and hold it there while moving certain buttons.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Einstellung einer Kettenwirkmaschine einfach zu gestalten.The invention has for its object to make the setting of a warp knitting machine easy.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass man Einstellsignale erzeugt, die eine Bewegung von einzelnen Barren bewirken, wobei man ein Display verwendet, dem Betätigungsorgane zum Erzeugen der Einstellsignale zugeordnet sind.This object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned above in that one generates setting signals that cause a movement of individual bars, wherein one uses a display, the actuators are assigned to generate the setting signals.

Die Kamera und das Display erlauben dann das Betrachten des Wirkwerkzeugbereichs. Der Werker kann auf dem Display die Bewegung der einzelnen Barren und der damit verbundenen Wirkwerkzeuge überwachen, die er durch die Erzeugung der Einstellsignale bewirkt. Der Werker muss also nur noch das Display bzw. ein das Display tragendes Gerät handhaben, um die gewünschten Einstellsignale zu erzeugen. Damit kann er auf einfache Weise unmittelbar erkennen, welche Wirkung seine Einstellsignale haben.The camera and display then allow viewing of the kneading tool area. The operator can monitor on the display the movement of the individual ingots and the knitting tools associated therewith, which they effect by generating the setting signals. Thus, the operator only has to handle the display or a device carrying the display in order to generate the desired setting signals. In this way, he can easily see immediately what effect his setting signals have.

Vorzugsweise verwendet man eine Kamera mit einer Vergrößerungsfunktion. Man kann dann die Wirkwerkzeuge größer auf dem Display darstellen, so dass der Werker auf einfache Weise erkennen kann, wie die Wirkwerkzeuge relativ zueinander positioniert sind. Eine Lupe ist nicht mehr erforderlich.Preferably, a camera with a magnification function is used. One can then represent the knitting tools larger on the display, so that the worker can easily recognize how the knitting tools are positioned relative to each other. A magnifying glass is no longer required.

Hierbei ist bevorzugt, dass man ein berührungsempfindliches Display verwendet und als Betätigungsorgane vorbestimmte Flächen des Displays verwendet. Das Display ist also als "Touch Screen" ausgebildet. Man kann beispielsweise durch ein Antippen am rechten Rand des Displays eine Bewegung einer bestimmten Barre nach rechts bewirken und durch ein Antippen des linken Rands des Bildschirms eine Bewegung der entsprechenden Barre nach links bewirken.It is preferred that one uses a touch-sensitive display and uses as actuators predetermined areas of the display. The display is therefore designed as a "touch screen". For example, by tapping on the right edge of the display, you can cause a particular bar to move to the right and cause the corresponding bar to move to the left by tapping the left edge of the screen.

Vorzugsweise zeigt man die vorbestimmten Flächen auf dem Display an. Die vorbestimmten Flächen können beispielsweise mit "links" und "rechts" beschriftet sein, so dass die Arbeit des Werkers erleichtert wird.Preferably, the predetermined areas are displayed on the display. The predetermined areas may be labeled, for example, with "left" and "right" so that the work of the worker is facilitated.

Vorzugsweise verwendet man eine Kommunikationseinrichtung mit Kamera, insbesondere ein Mobiltelefon oder einen tragbaren Computer, z.B. ein Tablet. In den meisten Mobiltelefonen sind ohnehin Kameras eingebaut. Auch viele tragbare Computer, insbesondere sogenannte Tablet-Computer, haben eine eingebaute Kamera. In beiden Kommunikationseinrichtungen kann man darüber hinaus Anwendungsprogramme, sogenannte "Apps" ablaufen lassen. Die erfindungsgemäße Einstellung der Kettenwirkmaschine wird durch ein derartiges Anwendungsprogramm unterstützt. Das Anwendungsprogramm gibt dann bei Betätigung der Betätigungsorgane entsprechende Steuerbefehle als Einstellsignale an die Kettenwirkmaschine weiter.Preferably, a communication device with camera, in particular a mobile telephone or a portable computer, e.g. a tablet. Cameras are already installed in most mobile phones anyway. Many portable computers, especially so-called tablet computers, have a built-in camera. In both communication facilities can also run application programs, called "apps". The setting of the warp knitting machine according to the invention is supported by such an application program. The application program is then on actuation of the actuators corresponding control commands as setting signals to the warp knitting machine on.

Hierbei ist bevorzugt, dass man die Kommunikationseinrichtung leitungslos mit einer Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine verbindet. Eine derartige Verbindung kann beispielsweise über ein WLAN erfolgen. Hierzu ist lediglich Voraussetzung, dass die Kommunikationseinrichtung und die Kettenwirkmaschine, genauer gesagt die Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine, mit entsprechenden Schnittstellen versehen sind.In this case, it is preferred that the communication device is connected without wires to a control of the warp knitting machine. Such a connection can be made for example via a WLAN. For this purpose, the only requirement is that the communication device and the warp knitting machine, more precisely the control of the warp knitting machine, are provided with corresponding interfaces.

Alternativ kann man auch eine leitungsgebundene Verbindung verwenden. Man kann beispielsweise eine festmontierte und fest verdrahtete Kamera verwenden, die ihr Bild an das Display sendet. Von hier aus kann dann die Barre justiert werden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, eine festmontierte Kamera zu verwenden, die die entsprechende Bildinformation leitungslos an das Display überträgt.Alternatively, one can also use a wired connection. For example, you can use a fixed and hardwired camera that sends its image to the display. From here, the bar can be adjusted. Of course, it is also possible to use a fixed camera, which transmits the corresponding image information without wires to the display.

Vorzugsweise ist das Display Teil einer Displayanordnung und ein Teil der Displayanordnung ist an der Kettenwirkmaschine angeordnet. Die Displayanordnung kann durchaus mehrere Displays aufweisen. Hierbei kann beispielsweise ein Display an der Kommunikationseinrichtung angeordnet sein, während ein anderes Display an der Kettenwirkmaschine angeordnet ist. Man kann dabei das Display an der Kettenwirkmaschine verwenden, das ohnehin für die Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine vorgesehen ist. Der Werker kann sich dann aussuchen, an welcher Position er den Wirkwerkzeugbereich auf einem Display betrachtet.Preferably, the display is part of a display arrangement and a part of the display arrangement is arranged on the warp knitting machine. The display arrangement may well have multiple displays. In this case, for example, one display can be arranged on the communication device, while another display is arranged on the warp knitting machine is. You can use the display on the warp knitting machine, which is already provided for the control of the warp knitting machine. The worker can then choose at which position he views the knitting tool area on a display.

Hierbei ist bevorzugt, dass man die Kommuhikationseinrichtung mit einer Fernwartungseinrichtung verbindet. Durch die Fernwartung ist es möglich, die Einstellungen mittels einer Fernwartungseinrichtung oder Teleservice von einem räumlich entfernten Punkt durchführen zu lassen, beispielsweise vom Hersteller der Kettenwirkmaschine.It is preferred that the commutation device is connected to a remote maintenance device. By the remote maintenance, it is possible to make the settings by means of a remote maintenance device or teleservice from a remote location, for example, the manufacturer of the warp knitting machine.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Hilfsanordnung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass Betätigungsorgane zum Erzeugen von Einstellsignalen vorgesehen sind und dem Display Betätigungsorgane zum Erzeugen der Einstellsignale zugeordnet sind, wobei die Hilfseinrichtung ein Anwendungsprogramm zum Bewirken der Einstellung aufweist.The object is achieved by an auxiliary arrangement of the type mentioned above in that actuators are provided for generating adjustment signals and the display actuators are assigned for generating the adjustment signals, wherein the auxiliary device comprises an application program for effecting the setting.

Über das Display kann der Werker dann den Wirkwerkzeugbereich darstellen und kontrollieren, ob die Einstellsignale die gewünschte Wirkung gehabt haben oder nicht. Man kann die Kamera auch an verschiedene Positionen der Kettenwirkmaschine bringen und beispielsweise von vorne oder von hinten auf den Wirkwerkzeugbereich schauen, um die Einstellung vorzunehmen.The operator can then use the display to display the working tool area and check whether the setting signals have had the desired effect or not. You can also bring the camera to different positions of the warp knitting machine and look, for example, from the front or from behind on the Wirkwerkzeugbereich to make the adjustment.

Hierbei ist bevorzugt, dass die Kamera eine Vergrößerungsfunktion aufweist. Man kann den Wirkwerkzeugbereich dann vergrößert auf dem Display darstellen, was die Einstellung erleichtert.It is preferred that the camera has a magnification function. You can then represent the knitting tool area enlarged on the display, which facilitates the setting.

Hierbei ist bevorzugt, dass das Display als berührungsempfindliches Display ausgebildet ist und die Betätigungsorgane durch vorbestimmte Bereiche des Displays gebildet sind. Durch Berühren des Displays, genauer gesagt Berühren der vorbestimmten Bereiche des Displays, kann man dann die Einstellsignale erzeugen.It is preferred that the display is designed as a touch-sensitive display and the actuators are formed by predetermined areas of the display. By touching the display, more precisely Touching the predetermined areas of the display, one can then generate the adjustment signals.

Bevorzugterweise ist die Kamera an einer Kommunikationseinrichtung, insbesondere einem mobilen Telefon oder einem tragbaren Computer, z.B. einem Tablet-Computer, angeordnet. Der Werker muss dann lediglich die Kommunikationseinrichtung an die Maschine halten und so positionieren, dass die Kamera den Wirkwerkzeugbereich aufnehmen kann. Man kann dann beispielsweise mit der Kommunikationseinrichtung auch die notwendigen Einstellsignale erzeugen.Preferably, the camera is connected to a communication device, in particular a mobile telephone or a portable computer, e.g. a tablet computer, arranged. The worker then only needs to hold the communication device to the machine and position it so that the camera can pick up the knitting tool area. It is then possible, for example, to generate the necessary setting signals with the communication device.

Auch ist von Vorteil, wenn die Hilfseinrichtung leitungslos mit einer Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine verbunden ist. Eine derartige leitungslose Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch eine WLAN-Verbindung eingerichtet werden. Hierzu ist lediglich erforderlich, dass die Kettenwirkmaschine und die Hilfseinrichtung jeweils mit entsprechenden Schnittstellen versehen sind. In einem derartigen Fall kann man beispielsweise auch vorsehen, dass der Wirkwerkzeugbereich an einem Display an der Kettenwirkmaschine angezeigt wird. Ein derartiges Display ist vielfach bereits als Bestandteil der Steuerung der Kettenwirkmaschine vorhanden. Auch die Betätigungsorgane zum Erzeugen der Einstellsignale können hier vorgesehen sein.It is also advantageous if the auxiliary device is connected without wires to a control of the warp knitting machine. Such a wireless connection can be set up, for example, by a WLAN connection. For this purpose, it is only necessary that the warp knitting machine and the auxiliary device are each provided with corresponding interfaces. In such a case, for example, it can also be provided that the knitting tool area is displayed on a display on the warp knitting machine. Such a display is already available as part of the control of the warp knitting machine. The actuators for generating the adjustment signals can be provided here.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung beschrieben. Hierin zeigt die:

Fig. 1
eine stark schematisierte Darstellung einer Kettenwirkmaschine mit einer Hilfsanordnung zu ihrer Einstellung.
The invention will be described below with reference to a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the drawings. Hereby shows:
Fig. 1
a highly schematic representation of a warp knitting machine with an auxiliary arrangement for their adjustment.

Eine Kettenwirkmaschine 1 weist eine Legebarre 2 auf, an der eine Vielzahl von Legenadeln 3 angeordnet sind. Anstelle der Legenadeln 3 können auch andere Fadenführer vorgesehen sein.A warp knitting machine 1 has a guide bar 2, on which a plurality of guide needles 3 are arranged. Instead of the guide needles 3, other thread guides can be provided.

Ferner weist die Kettenwirkmaschine eine Wirknadelbarre 4 auf, an der nebeneinander eine Reihe von Wirknadeln 5 angeordnet sind. Im Betrieb der Kettenwirkmaschine 1 arbeiten die Legenadeln 3 und die Wirknadeln 5 zusammen, um Maschen zu bilden. Hierbei werden beispielsweise die Legenadeln 3 um die Wirknadeln 5 herum geführt.Furthermore, the warp knitting machine has a knitting needle bar 4, on which a row of knitting needles 5 are arranged side by side. In operation of the warp knitting machine 1, the guide needles 3 and the knitting needles 5 work together to form stitches. Here, for example, the guide needles 3 are guided around the knitting needles 5 around.

Die Legenadeln 3 haben einen relativ geringen Abstand zueinander. Bei einer Feinheit von E 20 sind bei beispielsweise 20 Legenadeln 3 pro Zoll vorgesehen. Dementsprechend haben die Legenadeln einen Abstand in der Größenordnung von etwa 1mm. Gleiches gilt für den Abstand der Wirknadeln 5 relativ zueinander. Um ein kollisionsfreies Zusammenwirken der Legenadeln 3 und der Wirknadeln 5 zu ermöglichen, möchte man die Legenadeln 3 möglichst mittig zu den Wirknadeln 5 anordnen. Die Darstellung der Kettenwirkmaschine ist hier stark vereinfacht. In Wirklichkeit sind noch mehr Wirkwerkzeuge vorgesehen, beispielsweise Poolplatinen, Abschlagkammplatinen und dergleichen. Auf eine Darstellung dieser Wirkwerkzeuge wurde aus Gründen der Übersicht verzichtet. Diese Wirkwerkzeuge müssen in gleicher Weise relativ zu den anderen Wirkwerkzeugen eingestellt werden.The guide needles 3 have a relatively small distance from each other. With a fineness of E 20, for example, 20 guide needles 3 are provided per inch. Accordingly, the guide needles have a spacing of the order of about 1mm. The same applies to the distance of the knitting needles 5 relative to each other. In order to enable a collision-free interaction of the guide needles 3 and the knitting needles 5, one would like to arrange the guide needles 3 as centrally as possible to the knitting needles 5. The representation of the warp knitting machine is greatly simplified here. In reality, even more knitting tools are provided, such as pool boards, teeing combs and the like. For a review of these knitting tools has been omitted for the sake of clarity. These knitting tools must be adjusted in the same way relative to the other knitting tools.

Die Kettenwirkmaschine 1 weist eine Maschinensteuerung 6 auf, die ein Display 7 aufweist. Ferner ist die Maschinensteuerung 6 mit einer Antenne 8 oder einer anderen Empfangseinrichtung für ein WLAN, also ein leitungsloses Netzwerk, versehen.The warp knitting machine 1 has a machine control 6, which has a display 7. Furthermore, the machine control 6 is provided with an antenna 8 or another receiving device for a WLAN, that is to say a wireless network.

Um die gewünschte Einstellung vorzunehmen, muss ein Werker den Wirkwerkzeugbereich betrachten und in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Legenadeln 3 und der Wirknadeln 5 relativ zueinander Einstellsignale erzeugen, mit deren Hilfe die Maschinensteuerung 6 die Positionen der Legebarre 2 und der Wirknadelbarre 4 relativ zueinander verstellt. In den meisten Fällen reicht es hierbei aus, eine der beiden Barren 2, 4 parallel zu ihrer Längsrichtung zu verstellen. Die Einstellsignale können beispielsweise Impulse sein, wobei die Maschinensteuerung 6 bei jedem Impuls die jeweils angesprochene oder angesteuerte Barre 2, 4 um den Bruchteil eines Millimeters, beispielsweise 0,05 mm oder 0,1 mm, verschiebt. Der Werker kann dann optisch überwachen, ob mit der vorgenommenen Einstellung die relative Positionierung von Legenadeln 3 und Wirknadeln 5 zueinander erfolgreich ist oder ob weitere Korrekturen vorgenommen werden müssen.To make the desired setting, a worker must look at the knitting tool area and, depending on the position of the tool Guide needles 3 and the knitting needles 5 relative to each other generate adjustment signals by means of which the machine control 6, the positions of the guide bar 2 and the knitting needle bar 4 relative to each other adjusted. In most cases, it is sufficient here to adjust one of the two bars 2, 4 parallel to their longitudinal direction. The setting signals may be, for example, pulses, with the machine controller 6 shifts the respectively addressed or driven Barre 2, 4 by a fraction of a millimeter, for example, 0.05 mm or 0.1 mm at each pulse. The worker can then visually monitor whether with the adjustment made, the relative positioning of guide needles 3 and knitting needles 5 to each other is successful or whether further corrections must be made.

Bislang wurde diese Betrachtung durch eine Lupe hindurch vorgenommen, so dass der Wirkwerkzeugbereich in einem größeren Maßstab betrachtet werden konnte. Eine derartige Handhabung ist aber relativ umständlich.So far, this observation has been made through a magnifying glass so that the working tool area could be viewed on a larger scale. However, such handling is relatively cumbersome.

Vor der Wirkmaschine 1 ist vergrößert eine Hilfseinrichtung 9 zum Betrachten des Wirkwerkzeugbereichs dargestellt. Die Hilfseinrichtung bildet einen Teil einer Hilfsanordnung zum Einstellen der Kettenwirkmaschine 1 oder sie bildet sogar vollständig die Hilfsanordnung. Dies wird weiter unten erläutert werden.In front of the knitting machine 1, an auxiliary device 9 for viewing the knitting tool area is enlarged. The auxiliary device forms part of an auxiliary arrangement for adjusting the warp knitting machine 1 or even completely forms the auxiliary arrangement. This will be explained below.

Die Hilfseinrichtung 9 weist eine Kamera 10 und ein Display 11 auf. Die Kamera 10 weist eine Vergrößerungsfunktion auf, d.h. der Wirkwerkzeugbereich kann auf dem Display 11 in einer Vergrößerung dargestellt werden, so dass man die Legenadelbarre 2 mit den Legenadeln 3 und die Wirknadelbarre 4 mit den Wirknadeln 5 besser erkennen kann. Vorzugsweise ist die Vergrößerung einstellbar, so dass der Werker den Wirknadelbereich, also die Wirkwerkzeuge 3, 5, so groß darstellen kann, wie dies notwendig ist.The auxiliary device 9 has a camera 10 and a display 11. The camera 10 has a magnification function, ie, the working tool area can be displayed on the display 11 in an enlargement, so that you can better recognize the reed needle bar 2 with the guide needles 3 and the knitting needle 4 with the knitting needles 5. Preferably, the magnification is adjustable, so that the worker can represent the knitting needle area, so the knitting tools 3, 5, as large as is necessary.

Die Hilfseinrichtung kann beispielsweise als mobile Kommunikationseinrichtung ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise als mobiles Telefon, wie ein sogenanntes "Smartphone" oder als tragbarer Computer, wie einen Tablet-Computer, Notebook, etc.The auxiliary device can be designed, for example, as a mobile communication device, for example as a mobile telephone, such as a so-called "smartphone" or as a portable computer, such as a tablet computer, notebook, etc.

Das Display 11 ist als berührungsempfindliches Display ausgebildet. Das Display 11 weist bestimmte Bereiche auf, die als Betätigungsorgane ausgebildet sind. Diese Bereiche 12, 13 können auf dem Display 11 angezeigt werden. Die Bereiche 12, 13 können auch mit einer Information angezeigt werden, die auf ihre Wirkung hindeutet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Bereich 12 mit einem "L" versehen und der Bereich 13 mit einem "R". Wenn man also auf den Bereich 12 tippt, wird die Legebarre 2 nach links verfahren und wenn man auf den Bereich 13 tippt, wird die Legebarre 2 nach rechts verfahren.The display 11 is designed as a touch-sensitive display. The display 11 has certain areas which are formed as actuators. These areas 12, 13 can be displayed on the display 11. The areas 12, 13 can also be displayed with information indicating their effect. In the present embodiment, the area 12 is provided with an "L" and the area 13 with an "R". If you type in area 12, the guide bar 2 will move to the left and if you tap on area 13, the guide bar 2 will move to the right.

In nicht näher dargestellter Weise kann zuvor auf dem Display eine Liste der zur Verfügung stehenden Barren angezeigt werden und man kann mit Hilfe von bestimmten Bereichen des berührungsempfindlichen Displays 11 die entsprechende Barre auswählen.In a manner not shown previously on the display a list of available bars are displayed and you can select with the help of certain areas of the touch-sensitive display 11, the corresponding Barre.

Die entsprechenden Einstellsignale werden an die Antenne 8 der Maschinensteuerung 6 übertragen, so dass die Maschinensteuerung 6 die gewünschte Bewegung der Legebarre 2 oder der Wirknadelbarre 4 bewirken kann.The corresponding adjustment signals are transmitted to the antenna 8 of the machine control 6, so that the machine control 6 can effect the desired movement of the guide bar 2 or the knitting needle bar 4.

Man kann auch vorsehen, dass das Bild, das auf dem Display 11 der Hilfseinrichtung angezeigt wird, auch oder nur auf dem Display 7 der Maschinensteuerung 6 angezeigt wird. Wenn dieses Display 7 ebenfalls als berührungsempfindliches Display ausgebildet ist, dann kann man nach einer entsprechenden Positionierung der Hilfseinrichtung so, dass die Kamera 10 den Wirkwerkzeugbereich mit den Wirkwerkzeugen 3, 5 aufnimmt, die Einstellung auch an der Maschinensteuerung 6 direkt vornehmen.It can also be provided that the image which is displayed on the display 11 of the auxiliary device is also or only displayed on the display 7 of the machine control 6. If this display 7 is likewise designed as a touch-sensitive display, then, after an appropriate positioning of the auxiliary device, the camera 10 can be moved receives the knitting tool area with the knitting tools 3, 5, make the setting also on the machine control 6 directly.

Man kann auch vorsehen, dass die entsprechenden Informationen, also das Abbild des Wirkwerkzeugbereichs mit den Wirkwerkzeugen 3, 5, an eine entfernte Einrichtung übertragen wird, beispielsweise einen Teleservice des Herstellers der Kettenwirkmaschine. Durch eine Rückübertragung der entsprechenden Einstellsignale kann man dann die Einstellung auch über eine größere Entfernung hinweg durchführen.It can also be provided that the corresponding information, ie the image of the knitting tool area with the knitting tools 3, 5, is transmitted to a remote device, for example a teleservice of the manufacturer of the warp knitting machine. By retransferring the corresponding setting signals, it is then possible to carry out the adjustment over a greater distance.

Für die Einstellung ist es lediglich erforderlich, dass man durch entsprechende Maßnahmen die Hilfseinrichtung 9 der jeweiligen Kettenwirkmaschine 1 zuordnet. Dies lässt sich beispielsweise über eine IP-Adresse erreichen. Auch ist es erforderlich, dass man die Hilfseinrichtung, wie oben erwähnt, einer bestimmten Barre zuordnet, die in einer bestimmten Situation verstellt werden soll. Dies ist aber auch ohne weiteres möglich.For the adjustment, it is only necessary that the auxiliary device 9 of the respective warp knitting machine 1 assigns by appropriate measures. This can be achieved, for example, via an IP address. It is also necessary to associate the auxiliary device, as mentioned above, with a specific bar which is to be adjusted in a certain situation. But this is also possible without further ado.

Um die Einstellung zu bewirken, lässt man eine sogenannte "App" auf der Hilfseinrichtung 9 ablaufen. Eine derartige App, also ein Anwendungsprogramm, kann vom Hersteller der Kettenwirkmaschine bereitgestellt werden.To effect the adjustment, a so-called "app" is run on the auxiliary device 9. Such an app, so an application program can be provided by the manufacturer of the warp knitting machine.
