- the function of thread guides and the actual knitting process are not hindered by the gripping device when it is not needed.
- the magazine can be arranged at another point of the knitting machine, both a stationary arrangement and an arrangement movable along the machine being possible. It is also advantageous if the magazine takes over the separation of the inserts.
- the gripping device can thereby be designed in a structurally simpler manner.
- the gripping device preferably has a gripper with at least one movable gripping jaw.
- the gripper is thus able to securely pick up differently shaped inserts and to transport them to a pick-up area of the knitted fabric produced on the knitting machine.
- the gripping jaws can have a contoured surface and / or be made of a material with good holding power. This ensures that the inserts are held securely even when the gripper moves quickly.
- the materials used for the gripping jaws or at least for their surface are non-magnetic Materials for magnetic inserts or plastics, rubber or the like are possible.
- the gripper can be moved by a motor at least between a rest position that does not impede the knitting process and an insertion position. If the magazine is arranged in a stationary manner on the machine and / or has no transfer devices to the gripper, a third position is required for the gripper in which it is able to remove an insert from the magazine.
- the insert parts can be moved completely or partially to below the needle cross of the flat knitting machine with the gripper.
- the pockets or other receptacles of the knitted fabric for the inserts are completed before the inserts are inserted. Therefore, the openings of the receptacles are also located below the needle cross. If the gripper is able to press the insert parts below the needle cross, the insert parts can be safely and completely inserted into the knitted fabric receptacles.
- the gripper can also have an ejection mechanism for releasing the inserts into the knitted fabric.

Description
Es werden heutzutage immer höhere Ansprüche an ein auf einer Flachstrickmaschine gefertigtes Gestrick gestellt. Insbesondere werden immer kompliziertere Musterungs- und Designmöglichkeiten gefordert. Außerdem soll die Anzahl an notwendigen Folgeprozessen im Anschluss an den Strickprozess reduziert werden. Dies ist insbesondere für so genannte Smart Textiles bedeutsam, die Zusatzfunktionen durch Integration von Elementen wie Sensoren, Chips, Batterien oder LEDs ausüben. Diese Einlegeteile werden bisher meist per Hand während oder nach der Produktion des Gestricks in dieses eingebracht.Nowadays, ever higher demands are placed on a knitted fabric made on a flat knitting machine. In particular, more and more complex pattern and design options are required. In addition, the number of necessary follow-up processes following the knitting process should be reduced. This is particularly important for so-called smart textiles , which perform additional functions by integrating elements such as sensors, chips, batteries or LEDs. Up to now, these inserts have mostly been introduced into the knitted fabric by hand during or after the production thereof.
Beim Einbringen während der Produktion des Gestricks muss jedoch die produzierende Strickmaschine permanent vom Personal überwacht werden, da die Strickmaschine zum Zeitpunkt, an dem das zusätzliche Element eingelegt wird, stoppt, die Herstellung des Gestricks also unterbrochen wird. Ein erhöhter Personaleinsatz ist die Folge.When introducing the knitted fabric during production, however, the producing knitting machine must be permanently monitored by the staff, since the knitting machine stops at the point in time at which the additional element is inserted, i.e. the production of the knitted fabric is interrupted. The result is an increased workforce.
Um dies zu vermeiden, wurden bereits Vorschläge zur Automatisierung des Einlegens solcher Teile gemacht.In order to avoid this, proposals have already been made to automate the insertion of such parts.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Flachstrickmaschine mit einer Vorrichtung zum Einführen von Einlegeteilen in ein Gestrick bereitzustellen, welche die beschriebenen Nachteile vermeidet.Based on this prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a flat knitting machine with a device for inserting inserts into a knitted fabric which avoids the disadvantages described.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Flachstrickmaschine mit mindestens zwei Nadelbetten und mindestens einem Schlitten, der längs der Nadelbetten bewegbar ist, und mit einer Vorrichtung zum Einführen von Einlegeteilen in ein Gestrick, wobei die Vorrichtung ein Magazin für Gestrickeinlegeteile sowie eine Greifeinrichtung aufweist, mit der Gestrickeinlegeteile aus dem Magazin zum Kammspalt zwischen den Nadelbetten bewegbar und in ein auf der Flachstrickmaschine hergestelltes Gestrick einführbar sind, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass mindestens die Greifeinrichtung am Schlitten oder an Führungselementen des Schlittens angeordnet und durch den Schlitten oder durch einen separaten Antrieb längs der Nadelbetten bewegbar ist.The object is achieved by a flat knitting machine with at least two needle beds and at least one carriage that can be moved along the needle beds, and with a device for inserting inserts into a knitted fabric, the device having a magazine for knitted fabric inserts and a gripping device with which Knitted inserts are movable from the magazine to the comb gap between the needle beds and can be inserted into a knitted fabric produced on the flat knitting machine, which is characterized in that at least the gripping device is arranged on the carriage or on guide elements of the carriage and is driven by the carriage or by a separate drive along the needle beds is movable.
Durch die Anordnung der Greifeinrichtung am Schlitten der Flachstrickmaschine kann ein gesonderter Antrieb zur Bewegung der Greifeinrichtung längs der Maschine entfallen. Die Funktion von Fadenführern sowie der eigentliche Strickprozess werden durch die Greifeinrichtung nicht behindert, wenn diese nicht gebraucht wird. Das Magazin kann an einer anderen Stelle der Strickmaschine angeordnet sein, wobei sowohl eine ortsfeste Anordnung als auch eine längs der Maschine bewegliche Anordnung möglich ist. Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Magazin die Vereinzelung der Einlegeteile übernimmt. Die Greifeinrichtung kann dadurch konstruktiv einfacher gestaltet werden.By arranging the gripping device on the slide of the flat knitting machine, a separate drive for moving the gripping device along the machine can be dispensed with. The function of thread guides and the actual knitting process are not hindered by the gripping device when it is not needed. The magazine can be arranged at another point of the knitting machine, both a stationary arrangement and an arrangement movable along the machine being possible. It is also advantageous if the magazine takes over the separation of the inserts. The gripping device can thereby be designed in a structurally simpler manner.
Vorzugsweise weist die Greifeinrichtung einen Greifer mit mindestens einer beweglichen Greifbacke auf. Der Greifer ist damit in der Lage, verschieden geformte Einlegeteile sicher aufzunehmen und zu einem Aufnahmebereich des auf der Strickmaschine gefertigten Gestricks zu transportieren.The gripping device preferably has a gripper with at least one movable gripping jaw. The gripper is thus able to securely pick up differently shaped inserts and to transport them to a pick-up area of the knitted fabric produced on the knitting machine.
Die Greifbacken können eine konturierte Oberfläche aufweisen und/oder aus einem Material mit guter Haltekraft hergestellt sein. Dadurch kann ein sicheres Halten der Einlegeteile auch bei schnellen Bewegungen durch den Greifer gewährleistet werden. Als Materialien für die Greifbacken oder zumindest ihrer Oberfläche kommen nicht magnetische Materialien für magnetische Einlegeteile oder auch Kunststoffe, Gummi oder dergleichen in Frage.The gripping jaws can have a contoured surface and / or be made of a material with good holding power. This ensures that the inserts are held securely even when the gripper moves quickly. The materials used for the gripping jaws or at least for their surface are non-magnetic Materials for magnetic inserts or plastics, rubber or the like are possible.
Der Greifer kann motorisch mindestens zwischen einer den Strickprozess nicht behindernden Ruheposition und einer Einlegeposition bewegbar sein. Ist das Magazin ortsfest an der Maschine angeordnet und/oder weist keine Übergabeeinrichtungen an den Greifer auf, so ist eine dritte Position für den Greifer nötig, in der er in der Lage ist, ein Einlegeteil aus dem Magazin zu entnehmen.The gripper can be moved by a motor at least between a rest position that does not impede the knitting process and an insertion position. If the magazine is arranged in a stationary manner on the machine and / or has no transfer devices to the gripper, a third position is required for the gripper in which it is able to remove an insert from the magazine.
Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn mit dem Greifer die Einlegeteile ganz oder teilweise bis unterhalb des Nadelkreuzes der Flachstrickmaschine bewegbar sind. Die Taschen oder anderen Aufnahmen des Gestricks für die Einlegeteile werden vor dem Einführen der Einlegeteile fertiggestellt. Daher befinden sich auch die Öffnungen der Aufnahmen unterhalb des Nadelkreuzes. Ist der Greifer in der Lage, die Einlegeteile bis unter das Nadelkreuz zu drücken, so können die Einlegeteile sicher und vollständig in die Aufnahmen des Gestricks eingeführt werden.Further advantages result if the insert parts can be moved completely or partially to below the needle cross of the flat knitting machine with the gripper. The pockets or other receptacles of the knitted fabric for the inserts are completed before the inserts are inserted. Therefore, the openings of the receptacles are also located below the needle cross. If the gripper is able to press the insert parts below the needle cross, the insert parts can be safely and completely inserted into the knitted fabric receptacles.
Der Greifer kann außerdem eine Auswurfmechanik zur Abgabe der Einlegeteile in das Gestrick aufweisen. Eine solche Auswurfmechanik unterstützt die Abgabe der Einlegeteile, nachdem die Greiferbacken geöffnet wurden. Die Auswurfmechanik kann auch dafür sorgen, dass die Einlegeteile in die Aufnahmen im Gestrick hineingedrückt und dort festgehalten werden.The gripper can also have an ejection mechanism for releasing the inserts into the knitted fabric. Such an ejection mechanism supports the delivery of the inserts after the gripper jaws have been opened. The ejection mechanism can also ensure that the inserts are pressed into the receptacles in the knitted fabric and held there.
Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Verfahren zum Einlegen von Einlegeteilen in ein auf einer Flachstrickmaschine gefertigtes Gestrick, wobei die Flachstrickmaschine mindestens zwei Nadelbetten, mindestens einen längs der Nadelbetten bewegbaren Schlitten, ein Magazin für die Einlegeteile und eine am Schlitten angeordnete Greifeinrichtung aufweist, das gekennzeichnet ist durch die Schritte:
- a. Stricken eines Gestricks mit einem oder mehreren Aufnahmebereich/en für ein oder mehrere Einlegeteil/e,
- b. Bewegen der Greifeinrichtung zum Magazin oder des Magazins zur Greifeinrichtung und Übernahme eines Einlegeteils aus dem Magazin mittels eines an der Greifeinrichtung angeordneten Greifers,
- c. Bewegen der Greifeinrichtung mit dem Schlitten oder einem separaten Antrieb zu einem Nadelbereich der Nadelbetten, in dem der Aufnahmebereich des Gestricks für das Einlegeteil angeordnet ist,
- d. Bewegen des Greifers über den Kammspalt und Absenken des Einlegeteils ganz oder teilweise bis unterhalb des Nadelkreuzes und dadurch Einführen des Einlegeteils in den Aufnahmebereich des Gestricks.
- a. Knitting a knitted fabric with one or more receiving areas for one or more insert / s,
- b. Moving the gripping device to the magazine or the magazine to the gripping device and taking over an insert from the magazine by means of a gripper arranged on the gripping device,
- c. Moving the gripping device with the carriage or a separate drive to a needle area of the needle beds in which the receiving area of the knitted fabric for the insert is arranged,
- d. Moving the gripper over the comb gap and lowering the insert completely or partially to below the needle cross and thereby inserting the insert into the receiving area of the knitted fabric.
Dabei können vorzugsweise die Klemmbacken des Greifers zum Ergreifen des Einlegeteils geöffnet, dann geschlossen und nach Bewegen des Greifers in die Einlegeposition wieder geöffnet werden, wobei eine Auswurfeinrichtung am Greifer das Einlegeteil in den Aufnahmebereich des Gestricks drückt und dort niederhält.The jaws of the gripper can preferably be opened to grasp the insert, then closed and opened again after moving the gripper into the insert position, an ejection device on the gripper pressing the insert into the receiving area of the knitted fabric and holding it down there.
Anschließend kann der Greifer nach Schritt d. wieder in seine Ruheposition gebracht und der Strickprozess fortgesetzt werden. Der Greifer behindert dabei weder die Bewegung des Schlittens, noch der Fadenführer oder Nadeln. Im weiteren Strickprozess kann vorzugsweise der Aufnahmebereich des Gestricks für das Einlegeteil, beispielsweise eine Tasche ganz oder teilweise verschlossen und dadurch das Einlegeteil im Gestrick gesichert werden.The gripper can then after step d. brought back to its resting position and the knitting process continued. The gripper does not hinder the movement of the carriage, the thread guide or the needles. In the further knitting process can preferably the receiving area of the knitted fabric for the insert, for example a pocket, is completely or partially closed and the insert is thereby secured in the knitted fabric.
