Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of thread consuming devices.
  • the present invention relates to a system comprising a treatment unit to be used in association with such thread consuming device.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution overcoming the disadvantages of prior art. More specifically, the present invention provides a solution where the system for in-line treatment of threads is configured to handle more than one thread simultaneously by dividing the nozzles into different dispensing zones that can be controlled individually.
  • a system for in-line treatment of two or more threads for use with a thread consuming device comprises a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles being distributed in at least a first and a second dispensing zone, the dispensing zones are separated in a direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the at least two threads, said threads being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances at least onto one of the at least two threads when activated, and a control unit being configured to control activation and deactivation of each dispensing zone of nozzles independently.
  • the plurality of nozzles are arranged in at least two nozzle arrays.
  • the at least two nozzle arrays are parallel to each other.
  • the nozzle arrays may be arranged at an angle in relation to the direction of the at least one thread.
  • At least a part of the nozzles of the first nozzle array are distributed in the first dispensing zone and at least a part of the nozzles of the second nozzle array are distributed in the second dispensing zone.
  • all of the nozzles of the first nozzle array are distributed in the first dispensing zone and all of the nozzles of the second nozzle array are distributed in the second dispensing zone.
  • the system is arranged for in-line treatment of at least a first thread and a second thread
  • the control unit is configured to control activation of the nozzles of each dispensing zone independently such that the first thread can be treated by the first dispensing zone, while the second thread can be simultaneously treated by the second dispensing zone.
  • the control unit may be configured to activate the nozzles of one dispensing zone individually.
  • the control unit may be configured to activate the nozzles of one dispensing zone individually with a predetermined offset from receiving the trigger signal.
  • the first thread and a second thread are different from each other.
  • the nozzles are inkjet nozzles.
  • system further comprises at least one thread consuming device.
  • the thread consuming device may be an embroidery machine, a sewing machine, a knitting machine, a weaving machine, a tufting machine or a thread winding machine.
  • a method for in-line treatment of at least two threads comprises providing a treatment unit having a plurality of nozzles being distributed in at least a first and a second dispensing zone, the dispensing zones being separated in a direction being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the at least two threads, said threads being in motion in use, each nozzle being configured to dispense one or more coating substances at least onto one of the at least two threads when activated, and providing a control unit being configured to control activation and deactivation of each dispensing zone of nozzles independently.
  • Thread consuming device is in this context any apparatus which in use consumes thread. It may e.g. be an embroidery machine, weaving machine, sewing machine, knitting machine, weaving machine, a tufting machine, a thread winding machine or any other thread consuming apparatus which may benefit from a surface treatment or coating or any other process involving subjecting the thread to a substance, such as dying.
  • upstream and/or downstream should be interpreted as relative positions during normal operation of the thread consuming device, i.e. when the device is operating to treat an elongated substrate, such as a thread, continuously moving through the device in a normal operating direction.
  • an upstream component is arranged such that a specific part of the thread passes it before it passes a downstream component.
  • An idea of the present invention is to provide a system and method for distributing a coating substance onto at least two threads in a controlled manner, for use in association with a thread consumption device.
  • the system 10 comprises a treatment unit 100 for dispensing one or more coating substances onto at least two threads.
  • the system 10 further comprises at least one thread consuming device 15, which may e.g. be in the form of one or several embroidery machine(s), a weaving machine(s), a sewing machine(s), knitting machine(s), a tufting machine(s), a thread winding machine(s) etc.
  • the system thereby forms a thread consuming unit, including the at least one thread consuming device 15 and the treatment unit 100. It should be noted that more than two threads can be used in the thread consuming device(s).
  • the thread consuming device 15 is exemplified as an embroidery machine, here illustrated as a single-head embroidery machine, being equipped with a treatment unit 100.
  • the embroidery machine 15 comprises a moveable stage 2b carrying the fabric to be embroidered.
  • the moveable stage 2b is controlled to rapidly change its position in the X and Y direction (i.e. in this case the horizontal plane, but it could also be in the vertical plane).
  • the treatment unit 100 allows the embroidery machine 15 to operate without the provision of uniquely pre-coloured threads, as is required for conventional embroidery machines. Instead, the treatment unit 100 provides in-line colouring of a thread 20 in accordance with predetermined colouring patterns, such that a coloured embroidery can be produced. The treatment unit thus replaces individual thread reels as is present in prior art systems.
  • the only connection between the treatment unit 100 and the embroidery machine 15 is the thread 20, as well as electrical connections (not shown).
  • the treatment unit 100 is thus provided as a stand-alone unit having no mechanical connection with the moveable stage 2b.
  • the stand-alone treatment unit 100 is mounted to the thread consuming device 15 via a suspension arrangement for reducing the transmission of vibrations to the treatment unit 100.
  • the system 10 described herein is capable of treating two or more threads 20a-c with coating substances using only one treatment unit 100. As a plurality of threads are used in the system 10, different coating substance may be dispensed onto the different threads 20a-c at the same time. Additionally, or alternatively, the coating substance may be dispensed in different patterns for the different threads 20a-c.
  • Each thread 20a-b is arranged to pass through a respective thread reel 120a-b.
  • thread feeders 130a-b are arranged - one thread feeder 130a-b for each thread 20a-b.
  • the thread feeder 130 may be configured to pull the thread forward through the treatment unit 100.
  • the thread feeder 130 is not described further herein, but for a more general understanding each thread feeder 130 receives and forwards its respective thread 20a-b.
  • the thread feeders 130 may be controlled by a control unit 190 described further below.
  • each thread 20a-b engages with a respective thread guiding device 140a-b.
  • Each thread guiding device 140a-b which may e.g.
  • the discharge device 150 or parts of the discharge device 150 such as the print head(s) 151a-d (as shown for example in Fig. 3 ), may be moveable by means of a drive unit (not shown). Having a drive unit will make it possible to arrange the discharge device 150, or parts of the discharge device 150, in different operating states in order to perform different tasks, such as for example a first state of dispensing a coating substance to a thread and a second state of performing a cleaning session, or other maintenance or idling.
  • the second thread guiding devices 160a-b are cooperating with the respective first thread guiding devices 140a-b such that the position of the respective threads 20a-b are correct during its travel along the discharge device 150.
  • the second thread guiding device 160 may e.g. be in the form of one or more guiding rollers, although it may also be designed to induce a rotation of the thread 20 along its longitudinal axis.
  • the system 10 may further comprise one common, or two separate, or any number of thread speed sensor(s) (not shown) configured to measure the speed of the threads 20a-b passing through the system 10.
  • one common, or two separate, light detection system(s) may be arranged downstream the discharge device 150 along the travel direction of the threads 20a-b.
  • the light detection system(s) is arranged to illuminate the threads 20a-b in order to receive light which is reflected from the threads 20a-b when the threads 20a-b are illuminated.
  • the information gathered from the light detection signal may for example be used to determine the position of the threads in relation to the nozzles 152a-f, the width of each thread and/or properties of each thread. This information can in turn for example be used to detect nozzle(s) that are in need of maintenance, that the position of the nozzle(s) needs to be altered and/or detect variations in the coating substance.
  • the light detection system(s) may be used to determine different properties of the threads that have been applied with one or several coating substances.
  • the threads 20a-b are then fed forward to pass one or more fixation units 170 which are provided in order to fixate the treatment substance to the thread 20a-b.
  • the fixation unit may be common for both threads, or provided as two separate units having one for each thread 20a-b.
  • the fixation unit 170 preferably comprises heating means, such as a hot air supply or heated elements, or an UV light source such that the treatment substance, e.g. a colouring substance, is cured or fixated onto the thread 20.
  • the fixation unit 170 may either be arranged horizontally, vertically, or at an angle between horizontally and vertically.
  • the threads 20a-b may pass a cleaning unit 180, such as an ultrasonic bath, where unwanted particles are removed from the threads 20a-b.
  • the cleaning unit may be common for both threads, or provided as two separate units having one for each thread 20a-b. As the treatment substance is fixated onto the threads 20a-b, the cleaning unit 180 will leave the treatment substance unaffected.
  • the treatment unit 100 may further comprise a lubrication unit (not shown).
  • the lubrication unit may be common for both threads, or provided as two separate units having one for each thread 20a-b. Additional thread buffers and feeders (not shown) may also be included in the treatment unit 100, arranged at various positions in the thread path.
  • the threads 20a-b preferably exits the treatment unit 100 through an aperture or similar, whereby the threads 20a-b are forwarded to an associated thread consuming device, such as an embroidery machine 15 as is shown in Figs. 1a-b .
  • a control unit 190 with associated electronics, such as power electronics, communication modules, memories, etc. is also provided.
  • the control unit 190 is connected to the thread feeders 130a-b, the discharge device 150, and the fixation unit 170 for allowing control of the operation of these components. Further, the control unit 190 is configured to controlling operation of the entire treatment unit 100 including the cleaning unit 180, the lubrication unit, a disruption of the threads 20a-b, the thread speed at various position along the treatment unit 100, the thread buffers, etc.
  • the control unit 190 may also be configured to receive control signals from one or more components of the treatment unit 100, e.g. control signals for triggering specific control, or other information relating to e.g. thread consumption by the embroidery machine 15.
  • the control unit 190 may be implemented by any commercially available CPU ("Central Processing Unit"), DSP ("digital signal processor") or any other electronic programmable logic device, or a combination of such processors or other electronic programmable logic device.
  • the control unit 190 may be implemented using instructions that enable hardware functionality, for example, by using executable computer program instructions in a general-purpose or special-purpose processor that may be stored on a computer readable storage medium (disk, memory etc.) to be executed by such a processor.
  • the storage medium is preferably in operative communication with the control unit 190.
  • a user interface is also provided, preferably via a display arranged at the front end of the housing.
  • the display allows a user to interact with the control unit 190 and is thus connected thereto, so that the control parameters of the thread feeder 130, the discharge device 150, the fixation unit 170, etc. may be set depending on process specifications.
  • the display may also preferably be used for alerting the user of critical situations, whereby the display may be used for the control unit 190 to issue alarms or the like.
  • the components described above may not necessarily be included in the stand-alone treatment unit 100, but instead the components of the treatment unit 100 may be separated into several units, Preferably, the stand-alone unit includes at least the at least one discharge device 150. In one embodiment the components are not provided as a stand-alone unit, but is integrated with the thread consuming device 15.
  • a discharge device 150 is shown, forming part of the treatment unit 100 as described above.
  • the direction of movement of the threads 20a-b in use is indicated by the solid arrow in Fig 3 .
  • the discharge device 150 comprises a plurality of nozzles 152a-f arranged at different longitudinal positions (for example spaced by a distance d1) along the thread 20 which passes by the treatment unit 100 during use.
  • Each nozzle 152a-f is arranged to dispense a coating substance, such as ink, onto the thread 20 when the nozzle is activated.
  • the coating substance is absorbed by the thread 20, e.g. at different circumferential positions of the thread 20 when the thread 20 twists about its longitudinal axis.
  • the relative position of two adjacently dispensed droplets of coating substance may be selected such that the droplets will overlap.
  • the treatment unit 100 comprises one or more discharge devices 150.
  • Each discharge device 150 is preferably formed as a series of ink-jet print heads 151a-d, each print head 151a-d having one or more nozzle arrays.
  • Each nozzle array typically comprises hundreds or thousands of nozzles.
  • six nozzles 152a-f are shown for one print head 151a-d; it should however be realized that each nozzle array may be provided with hundreds or thousands of nozzles 152 each.
  • each print head 151a-d may be associated with a single colour; in the shown example, the discharge device 150 has four print heads 151a-d, each print head 151a-d being associated with a specific colour according to the CMYK standard. However, other colouring models may be used as well.
  • the exact configuration of the treatment unit 100 may vary.
  • the treatment unit 100 is provided with a single discharge device 150 having a plurality of print heads 151a-d.
  • Each print head 151a-d is in turn provided with a plurality of nozzles 152a-f.
  • the treatment unit 100 is provided with several discharge devices 150, arranged either in series or in parallel. Each discharge device 150 is then provided with a plurality of print heads 151a-d. If serially arranged, the upstream discharge device 150 may have print heads 151a-d being associated with one or more colours of a specific colour standard, while the downstream discharge device 150 has print heads 151a-d being associated with other colours of the same colour standard. If arranged in parallel, each discharge device 150 may have print heads 151a-d being associated with all colours of a specific colour standard, but with different threads 20. For such embodiment, two separate threads 20 can be treated simultaneously and in parallel. Combinations of parallel/serial configurations are of course also possible.
  • the discharge device 150 is only having a single print head 151a-d; dynamic colouring of the thread 20 would then require several discharge devices 150 of the treatment unit 100.
  • Each nozzle 152a-f may dispense a coating substance having a colour according to the CMYK colour model, where the primary colours are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. It may thus be possible to dispense a wide variety of colours onto the thread by activating nozzles 152a-f such that the total colouring substance of a specific length of the thread 20 will be a mix of the colouring substances dispensed by the nozzles 152a-f. As explained earlier, this is preferably achieved by having several print heads 151a-d arranged in series, whereby the nozzles 152a-f of a specific print head 151a-d are dedicated to a single colour.
  • the system 10 described herein is capable of treating one or more threads 20a-c with coating substances using only one treatment unit 100. If plurality of threads are used in the system 10, different coating substance may be dispensed onto the different threads 20a-c at the same time. Additionally, or alternatively, the coating substance may be dispensed in different patterns for the different threads 20a-c.
  • the threads 20a-c are parallel with each other.
  • all threads 20a-c used in the system may be of the same thickness or be of different thickness.
  • all threads 20a-c used in the system may be of the same type, or being of a different types having different properties.

  • all nozzles 152a-f of each nozzle array are part of the same dispensing zone 153a-b. However, as is illustrated in Figs. 5b-c , not all nozzles 152a-f of the same array 153a-b must be of the same dispensing zone 154a-b.
  • the first dispensing zone 154a is configured to dispense coating substance onto the first thread 20a and the second dispensing zone 154b is configured to dispense coating substance onto the second thread 20b.

For this, the control unit 190 may be configured to transmit trigger signals to the nozzles 152a-f being arranged in a specific dispensing zone 154a-c. Additionally, or alternatively, if the nozzles arranged in one nozzle array 153a-c are distributed into one single dispensing zone 154a-c, the control unit 190 may be configured to transmit trigger signals to the individual nozzle array 153a-c in order to activate or deactivate the nozzles of that array, and thus that dispensing zone.
  • the control unit 190 may further be configured to control the activation and deactivation of the nozzles 152a-f individually in each dispensing zone 154a-b by transmitting trigger signals to the nozzles 152a-f being arranged in the specific dispensing zone 154a-c.

Moreover, the control unit 190 may be configured to alter which nozzles that are to be distributed in the dispensing zones 154a-c. These alternations may be based on for example the thickness of the threads, the density of the threads, the number of threads to be treated, the properties of the coating substance, calibration results and/or based on the number of active nozzles.
  • the control unit 190 may further be configured to alter the angle of the print head(s) 151a, or its nozzle arrays 153a-c, in relation to the treads 20a-c to be treated.

  • threads 20a-c In the above, reference is made to one or more threads 20a-c. In one embodiment, all threads arranged through the system 10 are in need of in-line treatment. In yet one embodiment, when several threads are used, it is sufficient if one of the threads are in need of in-line treatment (such as a thread that is not pre-coloured).
  • the system 10 is thus configured to handle both uniquely pre-threated threads and threads that are in need of in-line treatment at the same time.

  • Such a pre-treated thread could for example be a metallic, thick, thin, neon-coloured thread.
  • the control unit 190 may thus be configured to determine if the thread shall be treated or not when passing through the discharge device 150. However, it should be noted that not all threads needs to pass though the treatment unit 100. This is for example the case when a thread does not need to be treated with a coating substance.
