2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a ball-stitching machine, a rectangular bead cloth having both side edges turned back is superimposed on a cloth, and two straight stitches (parallel stitches parallel to the cloth and the bead cloth) are formed by a seam forming mechanism. A stitch pattern is formed and sewn together, and a straight cut portion and four corner cut portions continuous to the ends of the straight cut portion are formed on both work cloths by a knife mechanism. In a bead sewing machine equipped with a stacker device, the sewn work cloth can be discharged from the sewing machine to be stacked by operating the stacker device.

The applicant of the present application can set a plurality of sewing control programs for sewing a plurality of stitch patterns, and form a plurality of stitch patterns one by one based on these sewing control programs. In order to realize this, a bead sewing machine provided with a control device for controlling a stitch forming mechanism has been put to practical use. This is effective when a plurality of types of stitch patterns are successively formed at a plurality of places on a work cloth such as a suit.

This technique is not limited to the case where a plurality of types of stitch patterns are formed on one work cloth by a bead sewing machine.
The present invention can also be applied to a case where a plurality of types of seam patterns (for example, hole stitches) are successively formed on a single work cloth. Further, the stacker device is not limited to be mounted on the bead sewing machine, and a stacker device mounted on a sewing machine other than the bead sewing machine is also provided for practical use. For example, the applicant of the present application has filed an application for a stacker device to be equipped on a sewing machine having a pocket setter (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-235057).

In a conventional sewing machine, the number of stitch patterns is counted by one each time a stitch pattern is formed on a work cloth by a stitch forming mechanism, and the number of stitch patterns is displayed on a display. (See, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-271592). However, only the number of stitch patterns of each type is counted as the production management number and displayed on the display.

4).

In steps S9 and S12, the number of sewing cycles Z (however, each time a sewing cycle for sewing a plurality of stitch patterns based on a plurality of sewing control programs set by the stitch forming mechanism is completed). (Z = Y) one by one. Here, in the case of the present embodiment, since the number of sewing cycles Z = the number of work cloths Y, the number of work cloths Y counted in S12 is adopted as the number of sewing cycles Z.

As described above, according to the sewing machine production counter, the number X of stitch patterns can be counted one by one each time a stitch pattern is formed on a work cloth by the stitch forming mechanism. 1 for every 25 operations
The sewing cycle number Z is sewn every time a sewing cycle is completed in which a plurality of stitch patterns are sewn on the work cloth by the stitch forming mechanism based on a plurality of sewing control programs.
(However, Z = Y) can be counted one by one. The number of stitch patterns X, the number of work cloths Y and the number of sewing cycles Z can be displayed on the LCD 32. Therefore, even in the case of including the operation of forming a plurality of stitch patterns on one work cloth, the number of work cloths Y (the number of sewing cycles Z) can be reliably managed in addition to the number of stitch patterns X.

Here, as described above, the EPPROM 44
Are stored in association with the operator numbers “1, 2, 3, 4,...”, And the number of stitch patterns X of the operator number designated by the operator number designation process in S3 Each time a pattern is formed (S7), one is counted (S7), and the number of work cloths Y is counted one by one every time the stacker device 25 is operated (S10, S11) (S1).
2). Therefore, the number of stitch patterns X and the number of work cloths Y for each of a plurality of workers can also be reliably managed. It should be noted that E in which a plurality of sets of the number of stitch patterns X and the number of work cloths Y are stored.
The PPROM 44 and S2, S7 to S12, etc. correspond to a plurality of sets of first and second counting means.

Next, a modified example will be described. 1] In particular, when the number of sewing cycles Z is not equal to the number of work cloths Y,
In the flowchart of FIG. 9, by providing a step of “Z ← (Z + 1)” between S9 and S10, the number Z of sewing cycles is counted independently, and the number Z of stitch patterns is displayed in S4. can do.

Since a plurality of sewing control programs (sewing control program group) can be set, the sewing cycle includes a sewing cycle for sewing a plurality of stitch patterns on a work cloth by a stitch forming mechanism, and a suit up / down operation. Various sewing cycles, such as a sewing cycle for sewing a plurality of stitch patterns on two work cloths, can be set. That is, various sewing cycle numbers Z can be reliably managed.

2) When the number of sewing cycles Z = the number of work cloths Y as in this embodiment, S9 is omitted in the flowchart of FIG. 9 and the number of sewing cycles Z is not displayed on the display. Is also good.

3) For each operator number, for example, three sets of the first and second counting means are provided.
One sewing pattern number XA, XB, XC and three work cloth numbers YA, YB, YC corresponding to these sewing pattern numbers XA, XB, XC may be counted and displayed.

In this case, for example, on the third production management screen 53 displayed on the LCD 32 in FIG. 10, the number of work cloths XA (for example, 0 ), The number of work cloths XB (for example, 125
0), the number of work cloths XC (for example, 4552) is displayed, and A, B and C on the right side of the icon of the number of work cloths, respectively.
The number of work cloths YA (for example, 0), the number of work cloths YB (for example, 148), and the number of work cloths YC (for example, 569) are displayed.

Each time a stitch pattern is formed on a work cloth by the stitch forming mechanism, the number of stitch patterns XA, XB, and XC is counted by one, and each time the stacker device 25 operates, the number of work cloths YA, All of YB and YC are counted one by one. Cursor key 3
1b and 31c can be operated and moved, and any of A, B and C can be selected and reset to 0. On the third production management screen 53, the number XA of stitch patterns and the number YA of work cloths of A are reset to zero.

Thus, for example, the number of stitch patterns XA and the number of work cloths YA of A can be set to the volume per day, the number of stitch patterns XB and the number of work cloths YB can be set to the volume per week, and the number of stitches of C The number of eye patterns XC and the number of work cloths YC can be set to the volume per month. In other words, it is possible to reliably manage the number of stitch patterns and the number of work cloths for each worker, such as the cumulative number of days, weeks, and months.

In addition, various modifications can be added to the above embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied not only to the ball sewing machine but also to various sewing machines such as a hole sewing machine. Needless to say.
