- the well-known placement device essentially has two embodiments.
- the elements are connected to one another in the manner of an endless chain by using a carrier element.
- a shaft-like magazine is provided with a delivery side.
- the elements are arranged individually and stacked one on top of the other.
- the transfer of an element from the belt or the magazine to the point at which the element is connected to the fabric or the textile takes place by means of a transfer device which has an arm pivotable about an axis.
- the arm When the arm is in a take-over position, it takes one element from the magazine or the chain and then pivots into a transfer position, which is aligned with the desired fastening position of the element on the textile.
- a transfer position Such a design of the transfer device with a pivotable arm requires exact positioning or alignment of the Arms to the elements and the fabric or textile so that they can be safely removed and set down in the correct position.
- the pivot axis of the arm is located above the fabric or textile in an area between the stored elements and, for example, a sewing needle or the like of the sewing machine. The arm of the transfer device thus takes up a relatively large amount of space above the fabric or textile, which may make it difficult to access other elements of the sewing machine.
- the US 3,363,805A discloses a method for automatically aligning and feeding buttons to a button attaching mechanism.
- the DE 10 2016 116 028 A1 discloses a method for fixing electronic components on a flexible, textile fabric.

Functional elements of this type can also serve as carriers of an electronic circuit in the form of an integrated circuit (ICs) or the like, for example as part of a sensor device.
- ICs integrated circuit
- a sewing machine is understood to be any machine that is designed to connect functional elements to the material or textile in question using a particularly thread-like, particularly preferably electrically conductive thread, yarn or the like. This means any machine that can be used to carry out embroidery, weaving, knotting or similar connection techniques.
- the transfer element is designed as a bar arranged in a guide and the at least one receptacle for the functional element is designed as a through-opening in the bar.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one receptacle has an inner contour adapted to the outer contour of the functional element, so that the functional element in the Recording of the transfer element is arranged in a defined position.
- the invention provides that the transfer element is arranged almost without a gap above a surface of a textile to be connected to the functional element between the transfer position and the transfer position.
- the textile or the surface of the textile thus simultaneously acts as a kind of base for the transfer element or the functional element, so that the functional element is held in the vertical direction within the receptacle and does not fall out of the receptacle of the transfer element when it is transferred.
- a further preferred constructional embodiment of the invention provides that the transfer element is movably arranged in the transfer position for releasing the functional element from its receptacle in the transfer element perpendicular to the plane of the receptacle in the transfer element.
- a particularly compact and constructively advantageous configuration of the guide for the transfer element is achieved when the guide for the transfer element is arranged on a carrier element, with the carrier element simultaneously serving to hold the at least one storage element.
- the at least one storage element is arranged on the carrier element in an exchangeable manner.
- a further structural arrangement or design of the fitting device in which a functional element is prevented from accidentally falling out of the storage element, provides that a delivery side of the storage element is blocked by the transfer element, except in the transfer position.
- Such training also makes it possible in particular if there is only one storage element, to dispense with a separate blocking element for the functional elements on the storage element.
- the storage element In order to separate functional elements from the storage elements, provision is also preferably made for the storage element to be assigned a blocking element for releasing a functional element into the receptacle of the transfer element.
- the invention relates to a method for connecting a functional element to a textile, in particular by means of an assembly device according to the invention.
- the functional elements 1a to 1d have different outer contours 4a to 4d in plan view, the contour 4a being square, the contour 4b triangular, the contour 4c circular and the contour 4d trapezoidal. Of course, other contours are also conceivable.
- the functional elements 1a to 1d consist, for example, of a substrate 5 in the form of a printed circuit board with electrically conductive through-holes 3, via which the functional elements 1a to 1d can be connected to the textile 100 by means of the yarn 2, as is shown in FIG 4 is shown in simplified form.
- the connection between the functional element 1a to 1d and the textile 100 is made by embroidering, sewing, knotting or similar connection techniques using a sewing machine 1000.
- a sewing machine 1000 not shown in detail, is therefore understood to mean any machine that is intended for this purpose using the appropriate connection method to connect the functional element 1a to 1d to the textile 100.
- the functional element 1a to 1d is--as is known--embodied, for example, as a sensor, as a transmitting device or the like, or as part of the elements mentioned.
- the placement device 10 has a carrier element 12 which is essentially in the form of a rail or plate.
- the carrier element 12 has several functions: On the one hand, on the top side of the carrier element 12, ie on the side facing away from the textile 100, a magazine-like storage element 14 is interchangeably connected to the carrier element 12 Figures 5 to 8 illustrated embodiment serves to store functional elements 1a, which are arranged stacked on top of one another within storage element 14.
- the carrier element 12 has a through-opening 16 for receiving the storage element 14 . Furthermore, the carrier element 12 serves to guide a transfer element 20 as part of a transfer device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Nähmaschine mit einer Bestückungseinrichtung für insbesondere paillettenartige Funktionselemente mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, dass sie eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik besonders vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Transfereinrichtung aufweist. Insbesondere ermöglicht es die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung der Transfereinrichtung, die Baugröße und Bauhöhe der Transfereinrichtung bzw. den Raumbedarf oberhalb des Stoffs bzw. Textils zu minimieren, um dadurch eine verbesserte Zugänglichkeit zu erzielen.The sewing machine according to the invention with an assembly device for, in particular, sequin-like functional elements with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that it has a configuration of the transfer device that is particularly advantageous compared to the prior art. In particular, the design of the transfer device according to the invention makes it possible to minimize the size and height of the transfer device or the space requirement above the fabric or textile, in order to thereby achieve improved accessibility.
Hierzu sieht es die Lehre der Erfindung vor, dass die Transfereinrichtung ein linearbeweglich angeordnetes Transferelement mit wenigstens einer Aufnahme für ein Funktionselement aufweist. Es lässt sich somit eine den Bauraum der Transfereinrichtung vergrößernde Rotationsbewegung des Transferelements vermeiden.For this purpose, the teaching of the invention provides that the transfer device has a linearly movable arranged transfer element with at least one receptacle for a functional element. A rotational movement of the transfer element that increases the installation space of the transfer device can thus be avoided.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Bestückungseinrichtung für insbesondere paillettenartige Funktionselemente sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous developments of the assembly device according to the invention, in particular for sequin-like functional elements, are listed in the dependent claims.
Unter Funktionselementen werden nicht nur zu rein der optischen Ausschmückung bzw. Aufwertung dienenden Elementen solche, insbesondere paillettenartigen Funktionselemente verstanden, die eine elektrische bzw. elektronische Funktionalität aufweisen, wie sie beispielsweise erforderlich ist, um eine Spannungsversorgung zu einem Sensor, einem Leuchtelement o.ä. auszubilden. Auch können derartige Funktionselemente als Träger einer elektronischen Schaltung in Form eines integrierten Schaltung (ICs) o.ä., beispielsweise als Bestandteil einer Sensoreinrichtung dienen. Unter einer Nähmaschine wird dabei im Rahmen der Erfindung jede Maschine verstanden, die dazu ausgebildet ist, Funktionselemente unter Verwendung eines insbesondere fadenförmigen, besonders bevorzugt elektrisch leitfähigen Fadens, Garns oder ähnlichem mit dem angesprochenen Stoff bzw. Textil zu verbinden. Es sind somit jegliche Maschinen gemeint, die dazu dienen können, Stick-, Web-, Knüpf- oder ähnliche Verbindungstechniken auszuführen.Functional elements are understood not only as elements serving purely for visual decoration or upgrading, in particular sequin-like functional elements that have an electrical or electronic functionality such as is required, for example, to supply a voltage to a sensor, a light-emitting element or the like. to train. Functional elements of this type can also serve as carriers of an electronic circuit in the form of an integrated circuit (ICs) or the like, for example as part of a sensor device. Within the scope of the invention, a sewing machine is understood to be any machine that is designed to connect functional elements to the material or textile in question using a particularly thread-like, particularly preferably electrically conductive thread, yarn or the like. This means any machine that can be used to carry out embroidery, weaving, knotting or similar connection techniques.
In einer konstruktiv besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Transferelements ist es vorgesehen, dass das Transferelement als eine in einer Führung angeordnete Leiste und die wenigstens eine Aufnahme für das Funktionselement als Durchgangsöffnung in der Leiste ausgebildet ist.In a structurally particularly preferred embodiment of the transfer element, it is provided that the transfer element is designed as a bar arranged in a guide and the at least one receptacle for the functional element is designed as a through-opening in the bar.
Um eine positions- bzw. winkelgenaue Ausrichtung des Funktionselements bei seiner Befestigung auf dem Stoff bzw. Textil zu ermöglichen, sieht es eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, dass die wenigstens eine Aufnahme eine der Außenkontur des Funktionselements angepasste Innenkontur aufweist, sodass das Funktionselement in der Aufnahme des Transferelements in einer definierten Position angeordnet ist.In order to enable the functional element to be aligned with a precise position or angle when it is attached to the fabric or textile, a further embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one receptacle has an inner contour adapted to the outer contour of the functional element, so that the functional element in the Recording of the transfer element is arranged in a defined position.
Um beispielsweise auf ein (verstellbares) Element zur Blockierung bzw. zum Fixieren des Funktionselements in der Aufnahme des Transferelements beim Überführen des Funktionselements in Richtung der Übergabeposition verzichten zu können, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Transferelement zwischen der Übernahmeposition und der Übergabeposition nahezu spaltfrei oberhalb einer Oberfläche eines mit dem Funktionselement zu verbindenden Textils angeordnet ist. Das Textil bzw. die Oberfläche des Textils wirkt somit gleichzeitig in Art eines Bodens für das Transferelement bzw. das Funktionselement, sodass das Funktionselement innerhalb der Aufnahme in vertikaler Richtung gehalten ist und bei seiner Überführung nicht aus der Aufnahme des Transferelements herausfällt.In order to be able to do without, for example, an (adjustable) element for blocking or fixing the functional element in the receptacle of the transfer element when transferring the functional element in the direction of the transfer position, the invention provides that the transfer element is arranged almost without a gap above a surface of a textile to be connected to the functional element between the transfer position and the transfer position. The textile or the surface of the textile thus simultaneously acts as a kind of base for the transfer element or the functional element, so that the functional element is held in the vertical direction within the receptacle and does not fall out of the receptacle of the transfer element when it is transferred.
In einer ganz besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, die es ermöglicht, mit geringem Handlingsaufwand unterschiedliche Funktionselemente ohne Umrüstzeiten verarbeiten zu können, ist es vorgesehen, dass mehrere Speicherelemente vorgesehen sind, die in Ausrichtung mit der Position der wenigstens einen Aufnahme des Transferelements positionierbar sind.In a very particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, which makes it possible to process different functional elements with little handling effort and without changeover times, it is provided that several storage elements are provided, which can be positioned in alignment with the position of the at least one receptacle of the transfer element.
Eine weitere bevorzugte konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Transferelement in der Übergabeposition zum Freistellen des Funktionselements aus seiner Aufnahme im Transferelement senkrecht zur Ebene der Aufnahme in dem Transferelement beweglich angeordnet ist.A further preferred constructional embodiment of the invention provides that the transfer element is movably arranged in the transfer position for releasing the functional element from its receptacle in the transfer element perpendicular to the plane of the receptacle in the transfer element.
Eine besonders kompakte und konstruktiv vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Führung für das Transferelement wird erzielt, wenn die Führung für das Transferelement an einem Trägerelement angeordnet ist, wobei das Trägerelement gleichzeitig der Halterung des wenigstens einen Speicherelements dient.A particularly compact and constructively advantageous configuration of the guide for the transfer element is achieved when the guide for the transfer element is arranged on a carrier element, with the carrier element simultaneously serving to hold the at least one storage element.
Zur möglichst flexiblen Verwendung des Trägerelements mit unterschiedlichen Magazinen bzw. Funktionselementen sieht es eine Weiterbildung des zuletzt gemachten Vorschlags vor, dass das wenigstens eine Speicherelement an dem Trägerelement austauschbar angeordnet ist.For the most flexible use of the carrier element with different magazines or functional elements, a development of the last proposal provides that the at least one storage element is arranged on the carrier element in an exchangeable manner.
Eine weitere konstruktive Anordnung bzw. Ausbildung der Bestückungseinrichtung, bei der ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausfallen eines Funktionselements aus dem Speicherelement vermieden wird, sieht vor, dass eine Abgabeseite des Speicherelements von dem Transferelement, außer in der Übernahmeposition, versperrt ist. Eine derartige Ausbildung ermöglicht es auch insbesondere bei nur einem Speicherelement ggf. auf ein separates Sperrelement für die Funktionselemente an dem Speicherelement zu verzichten.A further structural arrangement or design of the fitting device, in which a functional element is prevented from accidentally falling out of the storage element, provides that a delivery side of the storage element is blocked by the transfer element, except in the transfer position. Such training also makes it possible in particular if there is only one storage element, to dispense with a separate blocking element for the functional elements on the storage element.
Zum Vereinzeln von Funktionselementen aus den Speicherelementen ist es darüber hinaus bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass dem Speicherelement eine Sperrelement zum Freigeben eines Funktionselements in die Aufnahme des Transferelements zugeordnet ist.In order to separate functional elements from the storage elements, provision is also preferably made for the storage element to be assigned a blocking element for releasing a functional element into the receptacle of the transfer element.
Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Verbinden eines Funktionselements mit einem Textil, insbesondere mittels einer erfindungsgemäßen Bestückungseinrichtung.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for connecting a functional element to a textile, in particular by means of an assembly device according to the invention.
