Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an exposed part of an electrically conductive wire of a covered conductor wire and a cut part of the covered conductor wire at desired positions.SOLUTION: When a covered conductor wire 48 having an electrically conductive wire 48A covered with a covering part 48B and a knitting wire are knitted, the covering part is notched, or the covered conductor wire is cut. A plurality of knitting positions of the knitting wire to the covered conductor wire are set, and the presence or absence of notching and the presence or absence of cutting are determined according to each knitting position. A knitting needle retaining the knitting wire is advanced to and retreated from the covered conductor wire to knit the knitting wire with the covered conductor wire. When the knitting needle is advanced to the covered conductor wire, notching or cutting is carried out. According to the advance length of the knitting needle to the covered conductor wire, switching is made between notching and cutting. After a notch part of the covering part is formed on the covered conductor wire, the covering part is shifted, so that the notch part is widened, and an exposed part of the electrically conductive wire is formed. The notch part is formed in a loop part of the covered conductor wire, and a wide part formed by partly widening the knitting needle is passed through the inside of the loop part to form the exposed part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6B

第一実施形態について、図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。 A first embodiment will be described in detail based on the drawings.

図１及び図２に示すように、第一実施形態の編み構造体の製造装置（以下、単に「編み装置」という）１０２は、編み材料３４に形成されたループ部３６Ａに、あらたな編み材料３８を編み込む。そして、図９Ａ及び図９Ｂに示すように、ループ部３６Ａ内を通る次のループ部３６Ｂを形成する動作を繰り返し行う。これらの動作を繰り返し行うことで、編み装置１０２は、図２０に示す編み構造体３２を製造することが可能である。なお、図２０では編み構造体３２を部分的に示しているが、実際の編み構造体３２では、編み材料３４、３８の編み込み構造がさらに繰り返し形成される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a knitting structure manufacturing apparatus (hereinafter simply referred to as “knitting apparatus”) 102 according to the first embodiment is provided with a new knitting material in a loop portion 36 A formed in the knitting material 34. 38 is knitted. Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the operation of forming the next loop portion 36B passing through the loop portion 36A is repeated. By repeatedly performing these operations, the knitting apparatus 102 can manufacture the knitted structure 32 shown in FIG. In FIG. 20, the knitted structure 32 is partially shown, but in the actual knitted structure 32, the knitted structure of the knitted materials 34 and 38 is further repeatedly formed.

編み構造体３２は、たとえば、図２１に示す衣類４２や装飾品等として用いることが可能である。特に、編み構造体３２が柔軟性を有する場合は、編み構造体３２を所望の形状形成し、縫製や加工を行えば衣類４２を形成できる。衣類４２の例としては、図２１に示すシャツの他に、上着、下着、マスク、帽子、手袋、靴下等を例示できる。 The knitted structure 32 can be used, for example, as a garment 42 or a decorative article shown in FIG. In particular, when the knitted structure 32 has flexibility, the garment 42 can be formed by forming the knitted structure 32 in a desired shape and performing sewing and processing. As an example of the clothing 42, in addition to the shirt shown in FIG. 21, an outerwear, an underwear, a mask, a hat, gloves, socks and the like can be exemplified.

また、編み構造体３２は、樹脂材料等の内部に、この編み構造体３２を埋め込んで所望の形状に成形し硬化させることで、図２２に示す電子機器４４等の筐体４６として用いることが可能である。筐体４６を備える電子機器４４としては、図２２に示すスマートフォンや携帯電話の他に、パーソナルコンピュータや、ＨＭＤ（Head Mount Display)等のウエアラブルコンピュータを例示できる。あるいは、ウエアラブルコンピュータとしての機能を組み込んだ衣類であってもよい。 Further, the knitted structure 32 is used as a casing 46 of the electronic device 44 shown in FIG. 22 by embedding the knitted structure 32 in a resin material or the like, and forming and curing it into a desired shape. Is possible. Examples of the electronic device 44 including the housing 46 include a personal computer and a wearable computer such as an HMD (Head Mount Display) in addition to the smartphone and the mobile phone shown in FIG. Alternatively, it may be clothing incorporating a function as a wearable computer.

本実施形態において、編み材料３４は、図２０に示すように、中心に導電性材料（たとえば銅）の導電線４８Ａを備え、周囲を絶縁性の材料、たとえば、ＦＲＰ(Fiber Reinforced Plastics)の被覆部４８Ｂで被覆した被覆導線４８を用いることができる。導電線４８Ａの直径は例えば１００μｍ程度、被覆導線４８の直径はたとえば３００μｍ程度である。編み材料３４は、必要に応じて、被覆部４８Ｂへの切込部分４８Ｃ（図７Ｃ参照）の形成や、被覆導線４８の切断がなされる部材である。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the knitted material 34 includes a conductive wire 48A made of a conductive material (for example, copper) at the center, and is coated with an insulating material such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics). The covered conductor 48 covered with the part 48B can be used. The diameter of the conductive wire 48A is, for example, about 100 μm, and the diameter of the covered conductive wire 48 is, for example, about 300 μm. The knitting material 34 is a member for forming a cut portion 48C (see FIG. 7C) in the covering portion 48B and cutting the covered conducting wire 48 as necessary.

これに対し、編み材料３８としては、上記した被覆導線４８を用いることもできるが、導電線を有さず、全体が絶縁性の材料で線状（糸状）に形成された編み線５０を用いることもできる。編み線５０の絶縁性の材料としては、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂと同様にＦＲＰを用いることが可能であるが、ＦＲＰ以外の材料でもよい。 On the other hand, as the knitted material 38, the above-described covered conductive wire 48 can be used, but a knitted wire 50 which does not have a conductive wire and is formed in a linear (thread-like) shape with an insulating material as a whole is used. You can also. As the insulating material of the knitted wire 50, FRP can be used similarly to the covering portion 48B of the covered conductive wire 48, but a material other than FRP may be used.

そして、編み構造体３２の一部を、所定のパターンで被覆導線４８を用いて編み込むことで、この被覆導線４８により所定の回路パターンやアンテナを形成した編み構造体３２が得られる。 Then, a part of the knitted structure 32 is knitted in a predetermined pattern using the covered conductor 48, whereby the knitted structure 32 in which a predetermined circuit pattern or antenna is formed by the covered conductor 48 is obtained.

図１及び図２に示すように、編み装置１０２は、編み棒１０４を有する。編み棒１０４は、長尺の棒状に形成された編み棒本体１０６と、この編み棒本体１０６に取り付けられる加工部材１２０と、を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the knitting device 102 includes a knitting bar 104. The knitting rod 104 has a knitting rod main body 106 formed in a long rod shape, and a processing member 120 attached to the knitting rod main body 106.

なお、図１及び図２では、１つの編み棒１０４を示しているが、実際の編み装置１０２では、複数の編み棒１０４が所定方向に並べて配置される。 1 and 2 show one knitting bar 104, but in an actual knitting apparatus 102, a plurality of knitting bars 104 are arranged in a predetermined direction.

編み棒本体１０６の一端１０６Ａには、略Ｕ字状あるいは略Ｊ字状に湾曲する引掛部１０８が形成される。 At one end 106A of the knitting rod body 106, a hooking portion 108 that is curved in a substantially U shape or a substantially J shape is formed.

図１に示すように、編み材料３４において既に形成されているループ部３６Ａ内を編み棒本体１０６の上部が上昇し、ループ部３６Ａの上方に待機している次の編み材料３８（図示の例では編み線５０）を引掛部１０８に引っ掛ける。そして、この状態で、図２に示すように編み棒１０４が降下する。さらに編み棒１０４が降下し、たとえば図９Ｃに示すように、編み材料３８がループ部３６Ａ内を通ると、編み材料３８を編み材料３４のループ部３６Ａに編み込むことができる。そして、あらたなループ部３６Ｂを編み材料３８に形成することが可能である。 As shown in FIG. 1, the upper part of the knitting bar main body 106 rises in the loop part 36A already formed in the knitting material 34, and the next knitting material 38 (in the example shown in the figure) is waiting above the loop part 36A. The knitting line 50) is hooked on the hook portion 108. In this state, the knitting bar 104 descends as shown in FIG. Further, when the knitting rod 104 is lowered and the knitting material 38 passes through the loop portion 36A, for example, as shown in FIG. 9C, the knitting material 38 can be knitted into the loop portion 36A of the knitting material 34. A new loop portion 36B can be formed on the knitted material 38.

編み棒本体１０６は、引掛部１０８の根元部分に形成される幅広部１１０を備える。幅広部１１０は、編み棒本体１０６の下部（たとえば他端１０６Ｂの近傍）と比較して幅広である。 The knitting rod body 106 includes a wide portion 110 formed at the base portion of the hook portion 108. The wide portion 110 is wider than the lower portion of the knitting rod body 106 (for example, near the other end 106B).

幅広部１１０の幅は、図６Ｃに示すように、ループ部３６Ａを幅広部１１０が通過するときに、幅広部１１０がループ部３６Ａを押し広げつつ通過できる程度に設定される。後述するように、被覆導線４８のループ部３６Ａに切込部分４８Ｃが形成されている場合は、図８Ｃに示すように、切込部分４８Ｃに近い位置の被覆部４８Ｂを被覆導線４８の長手方向にずらす作用を奏する。 As shown in FIG. 6C, the width of the wide portion 110 is set such that when the wide portion 110 passes through the loop portion 36A, the wide portion 110 can pass while expanding the loop portion 36A. As will be described later, when the cut portion 48C is formed in the loop portion 36A of the covered conducting wire 48, as shown in FIG. 8C, the covering portion 48B near the cut portion 48C is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the covered conducting wire 48. Has the effect of shifting.

幅広部１１０には、開閉アーム１１２が回転可能に取り付けられる。開閉アーム１１２は回転により、引掛部１０８の開放部分１０８Ｈを開閉する。たとえば、図１に示すように、開閉アーム１１２により開放部分１０８Ｈを開放した状態では、編み材料３４を引掛部１０８に引っ掛けることができる。そして、引掛部１０８に編み材料３８を引っ掛けた状態では、図２に示すように開閉アーム１１２により開放部分１０８Ｈを閉じることで、編み材料３４の外れを防止できる。 An open / close arm 112 is rotatably attached to the wide portion 110. The opening / closing arm 112 opens and closes the opening portion 108H of the hooking portion 108 by rotation. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the knitting material 34 can be hooked on the hook portion 108 in a state where the opening portion 108 H is opened by the opening / closing arm 112. Then, in a state where the knitting material 38 is hooked on the hooking portion 108, the opening portion 108H is closed by the opening / closing arm 112 as shown in FIG.

図１及び図２に示すように、編み棒１０４の加工部材１２０は、編み棒本体１０６において、幅広部１１０と他端１０６Ｂの間（幅広部１１０よりもわずかに他端１０６Ｂに近い位置）に取り付けられる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the processing member 120 of the knitting rod 104 is attached to the knitting rod main body 106 between the wide portion 110 and the other end 106B (a position slightly closer to the other end 106B than the wide portion 110). .

図６Ｂ、図７Ｂ及び図８Ｂに詳細に示すように、加工部材１２０は、編み棒本体１０６に固定されるハウジング１２２を有する。ハウジング１２２には、編み棒本体１０６の長手方向と直交する方向の支軸１２４が設けられる。支軸１２４はハウジング１２２に対し、編み棒本体１０６の長手方向にスライド可能であり、バネ１２６によって上方に付勢される。 As shown in detail in FIGS. 6B, 7 B, and 8 B, the processing member 120 includes a housing 122 that is fixed to the knitting rod body 106. The housing 122 is provided with a support shaft 124 in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the knitting rod body 106. The support shaft 124 is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the knitting rod body 106 with respect to the housing 122 and is urged upward by a spring 126.

支軸１２４には、一対の切込刃１２８が回転可能に取り付けられる。一対の切込刃１２８は、支軸１２４を中心として回転することで、互いに接近又は離間する方向に回転する。 A pair of cutting blades 128 are rotatably attached to the support shaft 124. The pair of cutting blades 128 rotate around the support shaft 124 to rotate in a direction approaching or separating from each other.

さらに、ハウジング１２２には、一対の切込刃１２８を回転方向の外側から支持する支持ピン１３０が取り付けられる。図６Ａに示すように、支軸１２４がスライド範囲の上部に位置するとき、一対の切込刃１２８は、上方に向かって所定の開き角度で斜めに開く姿勢をとる。 Furthermore, a support pin 130 that supports the pair of cutting blades 128 from the outside in the rotational direction is attached to the housing 122. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the support shaft 124 is located at the upper part of the slide range, the pair of cutting blades 128 takes a posture of opening obliquely at a predetermined opening angle upward.

これに対し、支軸１２４がハウジング１２２に対し相対的に下方にスライドすると、図７Ｂに示すように、一対の切込刃１２８は、それぞれ支持ピン１３０に接触しつつ下方へ移動する。これにより、一対の切込刃１２８は、外側から内側へと閉じ方向（矢印Ｒ１方向）に回転される（開き角度が徐々に狭くなる）。 In contrast, when the support shaft 124 slides downward relative to the housing 122, the pair of cutting blades 128 move downward while contacting the support pins 130 as shown in FIG. 7B. Thus, the pair of cutting blades 128 are rotated from the outside to the inside in the closing direction (arrow R1 direction) (the opening angle is gradually narrowed).

図１３にも詳細に示すように、切込刃１２８のそれぞれは、正面視（矢印Ａ１方向視）にて半円形であり、切込刃１２８が閉じた状態では全体として円形である。なお、図１３では、切込刃１２８の一方のみ示している。切込刃１２８が閉じた状態の切込刃１２８の直径Ｄ１（図７Ｂ参照）は、被覆導線４８の直径よりも大きく設定される。 As shown in detail in FIG. 13, each of the cutting blades 128 is semicircular in front view (viewed in the direction of arrow A1), and is circular as a whole when the cutting blade 128 is closed. In FIG. 13, only one of the cutting blades 128 is shown. The diameter D1 (see FIG. 7B) of the cutting blade 128 in a state where the cutting blade 128 is closed is set to be larger than the diameter of the covered conductor 48.

一対の切込刃１２８における対向辺（実質的な刃の部分）の上下方向中央には、凹部１３２が形成される。凹部１３２は、切込刃１２８のそれぞれにおいて半円形であり、切込刃１２８が閉じた状態では２つの凹部１３２は全体として円形である。 A concave portion 132 is formed at the center in the vertical direction of the opposing sides (substantially blade portions) of the pair of cutting blades 128. The recess 132 is semicircular in each of the cutting blades 128, and the two recesses 132 are generally circular when the cutting blade 128 is closed.

切込刃１２８が閉じた状態の凹部１３２の直径（内径）は、導電線４８Ａの直径と等しく設定される。したがって、切込刃１２８が閉じた状態で凹部１３２に導電線４８Ａが位置していれば、被覆部４８Ｂは切り込まれるが、導電線４８Ａは切断されない。 The diameter (inner diameter) of the recess 132 in a state where the cutting blade 128 is closed is set equal to the diameter of the conductive wire 48A. Therefore, if the conductive wire 48A is positioned in the recess 132 with the cutting blade 128 closed, the covering portion 48B is cut, but the conductive wire 48A is not cut.

加工部材１２０の支軸１２４には、一対の押圧部材１３６が取り付けられる。図１３にも示すように、押圧部材１３６は、支軸１２４から上方に向けて延出される。押圧部材１３６の上端には、横方向に広い受部１３８が形成される。受部１３８の上面は、被覆導線４８の外周面に合せて中央が凹む形状である。 A pair of pressing members 136 are attached to the support shaft 124 of the processing member 120. As shown in FIG. 13, the pressing member 136 extends upward from the support shaft 124. A laterally wide receiving portion 138 is formed at the upper end of the pressing member 136. The upper surface of the receiving portion 138 has a shape in which the center is recessed in accordance with the outer peripheral surface of the coated conducting wire 48.

図６Ｂ及び図１０Ｂに示すように、受部１３８の上面は、支軸１２４がスライド範囲の上部にある（切込刃１２８が開いている）とき、正面視で一対の切込刃１２８の間に位置する。そして、押圧部材１３６がハウジング１２２に対し相対的に下方に移動すると、支軸１２４もバネ１２６の付勢力に抗して下方へ移動する。支軸１２４が下方へ移動すると、一対の切込刃１２８の開き角度が狭くなり、切込刃１２８はそれぞれ閉じ方向（矢印Ｒ１方向）に回転する。 As shown in FIGS. 6B and 10B, the upper surface of the receiving portion 138 is located between the pair of cutting blades 128 in front view when the support shaft 124 is at the upper part of the sliding range (the cutting blade 128 is open). Located in. When the pressing member 136 moves downward relative to the housing 122, the support shaft 124 also moves downward against the urging force of the spring 126. When the support shaft 124 moves downward, the opening angle of the pair of cutting blades 128 is narrowed, and the cutting blades 128 rotate in the closing direction (arrow R1 direction).

図１１Ｂに示すように、この状態で、さらに押圧部材１３６が下方に押されると、バネ１２６がさらに縮んで支軸１２４が下方へスライドするが、このときには、支軸１２４は切込刃１２８との取付状態を解除する。すなわち、切込刃１２８が過度に閉じ方向に回転されることがない構造である。 As shown in FIG. 11B, in this state, when the pressing member 136 is further pressed downward, the spring 126 is further contracted and the support shaft 124 slides downward. At this time, the support shaft 124 is connected to the cutting blade 128. Release the mounting state. That is, the cutting blade 128 is not excessively rotated in the closing direction.

凹部１３２の内周部分、特に凹部１３２の下半分は、切断刃１３４である。図１０Ｂに示すように、凹部１３２に導電線４８Ａが位置した状態で、さらに切込刃１２８が上昇すると、切断刃１３４が導電線４８Ａを切断する。 The inner peripheral portion of the recess 132, particularly the lower half of the recess 132, is a cutting blade 134. As shown in FIG. 10B, when the cutting blade 128 is further raised in a state where the conductive wire 48A is positioned in the recess 132, the cutting blade 134 cuts the conductive wire 48A.

図１及び図２に示すように、編み棒本体１０６の他端１０６Ｂは、駆動装置１４０に取り付けられる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the other end 106 B of the knitting rod body 106 is attached to the driving device 140.

駆動装置１４０は、モータ１４２と、このモータ１４２の回転軸１４４に取り付けられる回転アーム１４６を有する。 The driving device 140 includes a motor 142 and a rotating arm 146 attached to a rotating shaft 144 of the motor 142.

編み棒本体１０６の下端には支持ピン１５４が設けられている。回転アーム１４６の先端側には、この支持ピン１５４をスライド可能に且つ回転可能に支持する長孔１４８が形成される。長孔１４８には、連続する３箇所の収容部１５０Ａ、１５０Ｂ、１５０Ｃが、回転軸１４２から遠い順に形成される。 A support pin 154 is provided at the lower end of the knitting rod body 106. A long hole 148 that supports the support pin 154 in a slidable and rotatable manner is formed on the distal end side of the rotating arm 146. In the long hole 148, three consecutive accommodating portions 150 A, 150 B, and 150 C are formed in order from the rotating shaft 142.

回転アーム１４６及びモータ１４２は、アクチュエータ１５２により、回転アーム１４６の長手方向（矢印Ａ２方向）にスライドされる。このスライドにより、編み棒本体１０６の他端１０６Ｂ（支持ピン１５４）が、収容部１５０Ａ、１５０Ｂ、１５０Ｃのいずれか１つに選択的に収容される。 The rotating arm 146 and the motor 142 are slid by the actuator 152 in the longitudinal direction of the rotating arm 146 (arrow A2 direction). With this slide, the other end 106B (support pin 154) of the knitting rod main body 106 is selectively accommodated in any one of the accommodating portions 150A, 150B, and 150C.

支持ピン１５４が収容部１５０Ａに収容されている状態では、回転軸１４４から支持ピン１５４までの距離ＬＬが短いが、他端１０６Ｂが収容部１５０Ｃに収容されている状態では、この距離ＬＬが長い。他端１０６Ｂが収容部１５０Ｂに収容されている状態では、この距離ＬＬは中間の値をとる。このように距離ＬＬが変化することで、回転アーム１４６の回転角度が一定であっても、編み棒本体１０６の昇降ストローク（上下方向の移動量）が変わる。 The distance LL from the rotating shaft 144 to the support pin 154 is short when the support pin 154 is housed in the housing portion 150A, but the distance LL is long when the other end 106B is housed in the housing portion 150C. . In a state where the other end 106B is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150B, the distance LL takes an intermediate value. As the distance LL changes in this way, the up / down stroke (the amount of movement in the vertical direction) of the knitting bar body 106 changes even if the rotation angle of the rotary arm 146 is constant.

編み棒本体１０６に対する加工部材１２０の上下位置は、以下のように設定される。まず、支持ピン１５４が収容部１５０Ｃに収容されて距離ＬＬが短く、編み棒本体１０６の上下方向の移動量が少ない場合は、図４に示すように、編み棒１０４が上昇しても、加工部材１２０は被覆導線４８に達しない。 The vertical position of the processing member 120 with respect to the knitting rod body 106 is set as follows. First, when the support pin 154 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150C and the distance LL is short and the amount of movement of the knitting rod body 106 in the vertical direction is small, as shown in FIG. Does not reach the coated conductor 48.

これに対し、支持ピン１５４が収容部１５０Ｂに収容されて距離ＬＬが中間の値をとる場合は、図７Ａに示すように編み棒本体１０６が上昇すると、押圧部材１３６が被覆導線４８によって下方に押され、図７Ｂに示すように切込刃１２８が閉じる。これにより、図７Ｃに示すように、被覆部４８Ｂに切込部分４８Ｃが形成される。しかし、切断刃１３４が導電線４８Ａを切断するほどには編み棒本体１０６は上昇しない。 On the other hand, when the support pin 154 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150B and the distance LL takes an intermediate value, the pressing member 136 is pushed downward by the covered conductor 48 when the knitting rod body 106 is raised as shown in FIG. 7A. Then, the cutting blade 128 is closed as shown in FIG. 7B. Thereby, as shown to FIG. 7C, the cut | notch part 48C is formed in the coating | coated part 48B. However, the knitting rod body 106 does not rise so high that the cutting blade 134 cuts the conductive wire 48A.

支持ピン１５４が収容部１５０Ａに収容されて距離ＬＬが長い場合は、切込刃１２８が閉じて被覆部４８Ｂに切込部分４８Ｃが形成された状態で、さらに加工部材１２０が上昇する。図１１Ｂ及び図１２Ｂに示すように、切断刃１３４が導電線４８Ａを切断する。 When the support pin 154 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 150A and the distance LL is long, the processing member 120 is further raised in a state where the cutting blade 128 is closed and the cutting portion 48C is formed in the covering portion 48B. As shown in FIGS. 11B and 12B, the cutting blade 134 cuts the conductive wire 48A.

なお、図１及び図２では、図示の便宜上、回転アーム１４６の長さや回転角度を実際よりも小さく示している。実際の回転アーム１４６の長さや回転角度は、編み棒本体１０６の昇降ストロークに合せて設定される。 In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the length and the rotation angle of the rotary arm 146 are shown smaller than actual for convenience of illustration. The actual length and rotation angle of the rotary arm 146 are set in accordance with the lifting stroke of the knitting rod body 106.

図１４に示すように、アクチュエータ１５２は、図示しない入力装置から、編み棒本体１０６の上昇量を示す高さ信号（Ｌ：ロアー、Ｍ：ミドル、Ｕ：アッパーのいずれか）を受ける。そして、この信号に基いて、収容部１５０Ａ、１５０Ｂ、１５０Ｃのいずれに支持ピン１５４を収容させるかを調整する。具体的には、高さ信号がＬの場合は収容部１５０Ｃに、高さ信号がＭの場合は収容部１５０Ｂに、高さ信号がＨの場合は収容部１５０Ａに収容させる。 As shown in FIG. 14, the actuator 152 receives a height signal (any of L: lower, M: middle, U: upper) indicating the amount of rise of the knitting bar body 106 from an input device (not shown). Based on this signal, it is adjusted which of the accommodating portions 150A, 150B, and 150C accommodates the support pin 154. Specifically, when the height signal is L, the accommodating portion 150C is accommodated, when the height signal is M, the accommodating portion 150B is accommodated, and when the height signal is H, the accommodating portion 150A is accommodated.

図１及び図２に示すように、編み棒本体１０６の側方に、編み棒本体１０６の過度の傾きを抑制するガイド板１５８を設けてもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a guide plate 158 that suppresses an excessive inclination of the knitting rod body 106 may be provided on the side of the knitting rod body 106.

次に、第一実施形態の編み構造体の製造方法（以下、単に「編み方法」という）について説明する。この編み方法では、上記した編み装置１０２を用いて行うことが可能であり、以下では、編み装置１０２を用いた編み方法を例示する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the knitted structure according to the first embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as “knitting method”) will be described. This knitting method can be performed using the above-described knitting apparatus 102. Hereinafter, a knitting method using the knitting apparatus 102 will be exemplified.

この編み方法では、アクチュエータ１５２が入力装置から、Ｌ、Ｍ、Ｕのいずれかの高さ信号（図１４参照）を受ける。 In this knitting method, the actuator 152 receives one of L, M, and U height signals (see FIG. 14) from the input device.

アクチュエータ１５２で受けた高さ信号がＬである場合は、編み棒本体１０６の支持ピン１５４が、収容部１５０Ｃに収容される。 When the height signal received by the actuator 152 is L, the support pin 154 of the knitting rod body 106 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150C.

そして、モータ１４２の駆動により、編み棒本体１０６を、被覆導線４８にあらかじめ形成されているループ部３６Ａに対し前進させる。これにより、図３に示すように、編み棒本体１０６の上部（引掛部１０８が形成された部分）がループ部３６Ａを通る。そして、さらに編み棒１０４が上昇することで、図４に示すように、引掛部１０８で編み線５０を引っ掛ける。 Then, by driving the motor 142, the knitting rod main body 106 is advanced with respect to the loop portion 36 A formed in advance on the covered conducting wire 48. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper part (part in which the hook part 108 was formed) of the knitting stick body 106 passes through the loop part 36A. Then, when the knitting rod 104 is further raised, the knitting wire 50 is hooked by the hooking portion 108 as shown in FIG.

なお、編み棒本体１０６の上昇途中で、幅広部１１０がループ部３６Ａを通過するが、この場合は、ループ部３６Ａを全体的に押し広げることで、幅広部１１０がループ部３６Ａを通過できる（図６Ｃ参照）。 The wide portion 110 passes through the loop portion 36A while the knitting rod body 106 is being lifted. In this case, the wide portion 110 can pass through the loop portion 36A by spreading the loop portion 36A as a whole (see FIG. 6C).

その後、図５に示すように、編み棒本体１０６が被覆導線４８に対し後退する（下方に移動する）。ループ部３６Ａに編み線５０が通ることで、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み込むことができる。このように、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し前進及び後退する単純な動作で、編み線５０を被覆導線４８に編み込むことができる。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, the knitting rod body 106 moves backward (moves downward) with respect to the covered conducting wire 48. Since the knitted wire 50 passes through the loop portion 36A, the covered conductive wire 48 and the knitted wire 50 can be knitted. In this way, the knitting wire 50 can be knitted into the covering conductor 48 by a simple operation in which the knitting rod 104 moves forward and backward with respect to the covering conductor 48.

このように、アクチュエータ１５２で受けた高さ信号がＬである場合は、編み棒１０４が上昇しても、加工部材１２０は被覆導線４８には達しない。したがって、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂに切込を入れたり、被覆導線４８を切断したりすることはない。 Thus, when the height signal received by the actuator 152 is L, the processed member 120 does not reach the covered conductor 48 even when the knitting rod 104 is raised. Therefore, no cut is made in the covering portion 48B of the covered conductive wire 48, and the covered conductive wire 48 is not cut.

アクチュエータ１５２で受けた高さ信号がＭである場合は、編み棒本体１０６の他端１０６Ｂが、収容部１５０Ｂに収容される。 When the height signal received by the actuator 152 is M, the other end 106B of the knitting rod main body 106 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150B.

この場合、モータ１４２の駆動により、図６Ａ及び図６Ｃに示すように、編み棒本体１０６の上部（引掛部１０８が形成された部分）がループ部３６Ａを通る。図６Ａ及び図６Ｃでは、幅広部１１０がループ部３６Ａを通過する状態を示している。この段階では、図６Ｂに示すように、切込刃１２８は開いた状態である。 In this case, by driving the motor 142, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6C, the upper portion of the knitting rod body 106 (the portion where the hooking portion 108 is formed) passes through the loop portion 36A. 6A and 6C show a state where the wide portion 110 passes through the loop portion 36A. At this stage, as shown in FIG. 6B, the cutting blade 128 is in an open state.

そして、さらに編み棒１０４が上昇することで、図７Ａに示すように、引掛部１０８で編み線５０を引っ掛ける。この状態では、図７Ｂに示すように、被覆導線４８の外側に一対の切込刃１２８が位置しており、押圧部材１３６が被覆導線４８に押される。これにより、切込刃１２８が閉じ、図７Ｃに示すように、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂに切込部分４８Ｃが形成される。しかし、編み棒本体１０６は、それ以上は上昇しないので、加工部材１２０が被覆導線４８を切断してしまうことはない。 Then, when the knitting rod 104 is further raised, the knitting wire 50 is hooked by the hooking portion 108 as shown in FIG. 7A. In this state, as shown in FIG. 7B, the pair of cutting blades 128 are located outside the covered conducting wire 48, and the pressing member 136 is pushed by the covered conducting wire 48. As a result, the cutting blade 128 is closed, and a cutting portion 48C is formed in the covering portion 48B of the covered conducting wire 48 as shown in FIG. 7C. However, since the knitting rod body 106 does not rise any further, the processed member 120 does not cut the coated conductor 48.

その後、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し後退し（下方へ移動し）、図８Ａ及び図８Ｃに示すように、幅広部１１０がループ部３６Ａを通過する。このとき、幅広部１１０は、切込部分４８Ｃに近い位置の被覆部４８Ｂを被覆導線４８の長手方向にずらす。これにより、切込部分４８Ｃが広げられ、被覆導線４８に露出部４８Ｅを形成できる。すなわち、編み棒１０４を部分的に幅広とした幅広部１１０を形成し、この幅広部１１０を、切込部分４８Ｃが形成されたループ部３６Ａに通すだけで、被覆導線４８の露出部４８Ｅを形成できる。 Thereafter, the knitting rod 104 is retracted (moved downward) with respect to the coated conducting wire 48, and the wide portion 110 passes through the loop portion 36A as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8C. At this time, the wide portion 110 shifts the covering portion 48 B at a position close to the cut portion 48 C in the longitudinal direction of the covering conducting wire 48. Thereby, the cut portion 48 C is widened, and the exposed portion 48 E can be formed in the covered conductor 48. That is, the exposed portion 48E of the covered conductor 48 can be formed simply by forming the wide portion 110 in which the knitting rod 104 is partially wide and passing the wide portion 110 through the loop portion 36A in which the cut portion 48C is formed. .

幅広部１１０をループ部３６に通す際には、編み棒１０４を被覆導線４８に対し後退させればよく、編み棒１０４の複雑な動作は不要である。 When the wide portion 110 is passed through the loop portion 36, the knitting rod 104 may be retracted with respect to the covered conducting wire 48, and the complicated operation of the knitting rod 104 is unnecessary.

しかも、被覆部４８Ｂを被覆導線４８の長手方向にずらすことで露出部４８Ｅを形成でき、被覆部４８Ｂを導電線４８Ａから除去しないので、露出部４８Ｅの形成が容易である。 In addition, the exposed portion 48E can be formed by shifting the covering portion 48B in the longitudinal direction of the covered conducting wire 48, and the covering portion 48B is not removed from the conductive wire 48A, so that the exposed portion 48E can be easily formed.

なお、この段階では、押圧部材１３６は下方に押圧されていないので、切込刃１２８は、図８Ｂに示すように開いた状態である。 At this stage, since the pressing member 136 is not pressed downward, the cutting blade 128 is in an open state as shown in FIG. 8B.

その後、編み棒本体１０６が被覆導線４８に対しさらに後退する。そして、図９Ａ及び図９Ｂに示すように、ループ部３６Ａに編み線５０が通り、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み込まれて、新たなループ部３６Ｂが形成される。高さ信号がＬである場合と同様に、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し前進及び後退する単純な動作で、編み線５０を被覆導線４８に編み込むことができる。 Thereafter, the knitting rod body 106 is further retracted with respect to the coated conductor 48. Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the knitted wire 50 passes through the loop portion 36A, and the covered conducting wire 48 and the knitted wire 50 are knitted to form a new loop portion 36B. As in the case where the height signal is L, the knitting wire 50 can be knitted into the covering wire 48 by a simple operation in which the knitting rod 104 moves forward and backward with respect to the covering wire 48.

アクチュエータ１５２で受けた高さ信号がＵである場合は、編み棒本体１０６の他端１０６Ｂが、収容部１５０Ｃに収容される。 When the height signal received by the actuator 152 is U, the other end 106B of the knitting rod body 106 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 150C.

この場合、モータ１４２の駆動により、図１０Ａに示すように、編み棒本体１０６がループ部３６Ａを通る。この段階では、図１０Ｂに示すように、切込刃１２８は開いた状態である。 In this case, by driving the motor 142, the knitting rod main body 106 passes through the loop portion 36A as shown in FIG. 10A. At this stage, as shown in FIG. 10B, the cutting blade 128 is in an open state.

そして、さらに編み棒本体１０６が上昇することで、図１１Ａに示すように、引掛部１０８で編み線５０を引っ掛ける。そして、押圧部材１３６が被覆導線４８に押されて切込刃１２８が閉じる。高さ信号はＵであるので、その後、編み棒１０４はさらに上昇する。図１１Ｂに示すように、切断刃１３４により、被覆導線４８を切断し、切断部４８Ｄ（図１２Ｂ参照）が形成される。 Then, as the knitting rod main body 106 further rises, the knitting wire 50 is hooked by the hooking portion 108 as shown in FIG. 11A. Then, the pressing member 136 is pushed by the covered conductor 48 and the cutting blade 128 is closed. Since the height signal is U, then the knitting bar 104 is further raised. As shown in FIG. 11B, the coated conductor 48 is cut by the cutting blade 134 to form a cut portion 48D (see FIG. 12B).

その後、図１２Ａに示すように、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し後退する（下方へ移動する）。高さ信号がＬである場合と同様に、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し前進及び後退する単純な動作で、被覆導線４８を切断して切断部４８Ｄを形成できる。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12A, the knitting rod 104 moves backward (moves downward) with respect to the covered conducting wire 48. Similarly to the case where the height signal is L, the covered lead wire 48 can be cut to form the cut portion 48D by a simple operation in which the knitting rod 104 moves forward and backward with respect to the covered lead wire 48.

ここで、第一比較例として、切込あるいは切断がなされていない被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み上げた後に、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂの切込や被覆導線４８の切断を行う方法を想定する。この方法では、すでに被覆導線４８と編み線５０とが編み込まれているので、所望の位置で被覆部４８Ｂの切込や被覆導線４８の切断を行うことが難しい。たとえば、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とが多層に編み込まれている場合には、内層部分において、被覆部４８Ｂの切込や被覆導線４８の切断を行うには、外層部分の編み線５０が邪魔になることがある。さらに、本来は切り込むべきでない箇所の編み線５０を誤って切り込まないようにする必要がある。 Here, as a first comparative example, after the covered conductor 48 and the knitted wire 50 that are not cut or cut are knitted, a method of cutting the covered portion 48B of the covered conductor 48 or cutting the covered conductor 48 is performed. Suppose. In this method, since the covered conducting wire 48 and the knitted wire 50 are already knitted, it is difficult to cut the covering portion 48B or cut the covered conducting wire 48 at a desired position. For example, when the coated conductor 48 and the braided wire 50 are knitted in multiple layers, the outer layer knitted wire 50 is an obstacle to cut the coated portion 48B or cut the coated conductor 48 in the inner layer portion. May be. Furthermore, it is necessary not to accidentally cut the knitting line 50 at a portion that should not be cut.

また、第二比較例として、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂにあらかじめ切込部分を形成したり、被覆導線４８を切断したりした後、この被覆導線４８を編み線５０に編み込む方法を想定する。この方法では、編み込み時に切込部分がずれることがある。また、被覆導線４８をあらかじめ切断していると、編み込むべき被覆導線４８の全体を支持したり被覆導線４８に所定の張力を作用させたりすることが難しい場合もある。 Further, as a second comparative example, a method is assumed in which a cut portion is formed in advance in the covering portion 48B of the covered conducting wire 48 or the covered conducting wire 48 is cut, and then the covered conducting wire 48 is knitted into the knitted wire 50. In this method, the cut portion may be displaced at the time of weaving. Further, if the coated conductor 48 is cut in advance, it may be difficult to support the entire coated conductor 48 to be knitted or to apply a predetermined tension to the coated conductor 48.

これに対し、本実施形態の編み方法では、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み込む際に、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂの切込あるいは被覆導線４８の切断を行う。したがって、所望の位置に、被覆部４８Ｂの切込部分４８Ｃ（露出部４８Ｅ）や、被覆導線４８の切断部４８Ｄを形成できる。 On the other hand, in the knitting method of this embodiment, when the coated conductor 48 and the knitted wire 50 are knitted, the covering portion 48B of the coated conductor 48 is cut or the coated conductor 48 is cut. Therefore, the cut portion 48C (exposed portion 48E) of the covering portion 48B and the cut portion 48D of the covered conducting wire 48 can be formed at a desired position.

特に、編み構造体３２が柔軟性を有する場合は、あらかじめ切込部分（露出部）や切断部を形成した被覆導線を用いても、編み上げ後には、切込部分や切断部がずれやすい。しかし、本実施形態では、編み構造体３２が柔軟性を有する場合であっても、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂの切込部分４８Ｃ（露出部４８Ｅ）や切断部４８Ｄがずれにくい。 In particular, when the knitted structure 32 has flexibility, the cut portion and the cut portion are likely to be displaced after knitting even if a covered conductor in which a cut portion (exposed portion) or a cut portion is formed in advance is used. However, in this embodiment, even if the knitted structure 32 is flexible, the cut portion 48C (exposed portion 48E) and the cut portion 48D of the covering portion 48B of the covered conductive wire 48 are not easily displaced.

本実施形態の編み方法では、編み棒１０４が被覆導線４８に対し前進する（上方へ移動する）ときに、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂの切込あるいは被覆導線４８の切断を行う。すなわち、被覆導線４８に対する編み棒１０４の前進という単一の動作で、被覆部４８Ｂの切込あるいは被覆導線４８の切断を自動化して容易に行うことができる。編み棒１０４の前進及び後退は、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを単に編みこむ場合でも行われる動作であるので、作業工程の増加を招かず、低コストで被覆部４８Ｂの切込あるいは被覆導線４８の切断を行うことができる。 In the knitting method of the present embodiment, when the knitting rod 104 moves forward (moves upward) with respect to the covered conductor 48, the covering portion 48 B of the covered conductor 48 is cut or the covered conductor 48 is cut. That is, it is possible to easily perform the cutting of the covering portion 48B or the cutting of the covering conductor 48 by a single operation of the advancement of the knitting rod 104 with respect to the covering conductor 48. The forward and backward movement of the knitting bar 104 is an operation performed even when the covered conductor 48 and the knitted wire 50 are simply knitted, so that the work process is not increased, and the covering portion 48B is cut or covered at a low cost. Can be cut.

しかも、被覆導線４８に対する編み棒１０４の前進の長さによって、被覆部４８Ｂへの切込形成と被覆導線４８の切断とを切り替えて行う。実質的に、編み棒１０４の前進の長さを変えれば済むので、被覆部４８Ｂへの切込形成と被覆導線４８の切断との切り替えが容易である。 In addition, depending on the length of advance of the knitting rod 104 with respect to the coated conductor 48, the cutting of the coated portion 48 B and the cutting of the coated conductor 48 are switched. Substantially changing the length of advance of the knitting rod 104 is sufficient, so that it is easy to switch between the formation of the cut in the covering portion 48B and the cutting of the covering conducting wire 48.

図６から分かるように、本実施形態の編み方法では、複数の編込位置のそれぞれに応じて、被覆部４８Ｂの切込及び被覆導線４８の切断のいずれも行わない箇所と、被覆部４８Ｂの切込を行う箇所と、被覆導線４８の切断を行う箇所が決められる。これにより、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み込む過程で、編み込み単位に応じて露出部４８Ｅや切断部４８Ｄの位置を設定し、所望の配線パターンを形成できる。 As can be seen from FIG. 6, in the knitting method of the present embodiment, according to each of the plurality of knitting positions, a portion where neither the cutting of the covering portion 48B nor the cutting of the covering conducting wire 48 is performed, The location for cutting and the location for cutting the coated conductor 48 are determined. Thus, in the process of weaving the coated conductor 48 and the knitted wire 50, the position of the exposed portion 48E and the cut portion 48D can be set according to the knitting unit, and a desired wiring pattern can be formed.

露出部４８Ｅは、図１５に示すように、複数の被覆導線４８に形成することができる。隣接する被覆導線４８に露出部４８Ｅを形成した場合は、露出部４８Ｅどうしを接触させ、導通部４８Ｆを形成することも可能である。特に、露出部４８Ｅを所望の位置に形成することで、２つの露出部４８の接触状態を確実に達成することができる。そして、導通部４８Ｆにより、２つの露出部４８Ｅ、すなわち導電線４８Ａを導通させることで、所望の配線パターン、たとえば、複雑な回路パターンやアンテナ形状を形成することが可能である。 The exposed portion 48E can be formed on a plurality of covered conductors 48 as shown in FIG. When the exposed portion 48E is formed on the adjacent covered conductive wire 48, the exposed portions 48E can be brought into contact with each other to form the conducting portion 48F. In particular, the contact state between the two exposed portions 48 can be reliably achieved by forming the exposed portion 48E at a desired position. Then, a desired wiring pattern, for example, a complicated circuit pattern or antenna shape can be formed by conducting the two exposed portions 48E, that is, the conductive wire 48A, by the conducting portion 48F.

本実施形態の編み方法では、図１６に示すように、導通部４８Ｆを形成した後、この導通部４８Ｆの周囲４８Ｇにおいて、切り残された被覆部４８Ｂを加熱部材で加熱し、被覆部４８Ｂを溶融させてもよい。そして、図１７に示すように、溶着した被覆部４８Ｂを冷却硬化させれば、導通部４８Ｆが形成された状態で、被覆導線４８が接合されるので、導通部４８Ｆの導通状態を安定的に維持できる。 In the knitting method of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, after forming the conductive portion 48F, the covering portion 48B that is left uncut is heated with a heating member in the periphery 48G of the conductive portion 48F. It may be melted. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, if the covered coating portion 48B is cooled and cured, the coated conductor 48 is joined with the conductive portion 48F formed, so that the conductive state of the conductive portion 48F can be stably maintained. Can be maintained.

なお、導通部４８Ｆの導通状態を安定的に維持するには、切り残された被覆部４８Ｂを溶融後に冷却硬化する上記方法に代えて（あるいは併用して）、導電性接着剤で導通部４８Ｆを接着してもよい。 In order to stably maintain the conductive state of the conductive portion 48F, the conductive portion 48F is replaced with a conductive adhesive instead of (or in combination with) the above-described method of cooling and curing the uncut uncoated portion 48B. May be adhered.

また、露出部４８Ｅや導通部４８Ｆの一部については露出状態を維持し、この露出部分に、他の部材を電気的に接合してもよい。この場合は、露出部分が他部材との接続用電極として作用する。 Further, a part of the exposed portion 48E and the conductive portion 48F may be kept exposed, and another member may be electrically joined to the exposed portion. In this case, the exposed portion acts as an electrode for connection with another member.

本実施形態の編み方法では、図１８に示すように、被覆導線４８に切断部４８Ｄを形成した後、この切断部４８Ｄの両側部分４８Ｈの被覆部４８Ｂを加熱部材で加熱し、被覆部４８Ｂを溶融させてもよい。そして、図１９に示すように、溶着した被覆部４８Ｂを冷却硬化させれば、導電線４８Ａが断線された状態で接合部４８Ｊが形成され、被覆導線４８が接合される。切断部４８Ｄの近傍の被覆導線４８が編み構造体３２（図２０参照）の外表面から飛び出さないので、切断部４８Ｄへの異物の引っ掛かりを抑制できる。そして、被覆導線４８が切断部４８Ｄからほつれを抑制できると共に、切断されたままの状態と比較して、強度低下を抑制できる。切断部４８Ｄを所望の位置に形成することで、切断部４８Ｄへの上記した接合処理が容易である。 In the knitting method of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, after forming the cut portions 48D on the coated conductor 48, the covering portions 48B of the both side portions 48H of the cut portions 48D are heated by the heating member, It may be melted. Then, as shown in FIG. 19, when the welded coating portion 48B is cooled and hardened, the joint portion 48J is formed in a state where the conductive wire 48A is disconnected, and the coated conductor 48 is joined. Since the covered conducting wire 48 in the vicinity of the cutting part 48D does not jump out from the outer surface of the knitted structure 32 (see FIG. 20), the foreign matter can be prevented from being caught on the cutting part 48D. And while the covered conducting wire 48 can suppress fraying from the cutting part 48D, compared with the state with being cut | disconnected, a strength fall can be suppressed. By forming the cutting part 48D at a desired position, the above-described joining process to the cutting part 48D is easy.

また、切断部４８Ｄで被覆部４８Ｂを加熱し、導電線４８Ａの切断端面を被覆部４８Ｂが覆った状態で冷却硬化させることで、回路パターンの終端化処理を行うことも可能である。 It is also possible to perform a circuit pattern termination process by heating the covering portion 48B with the cutting portion 48D and cooling and hardening the cut end surface of the conductive wire 48A while the covering portion 48B covers it.

本実施形態の編み装置１０２は、編み棒本体１０６と加工部材１２０とを有しており、このような簡単な構造の編み装置１０２を用いて、被覆導線４８と編み線５０とを編み込む際に、被覆部４８Ｂの切込や被覆導線４８の切断を行うことができる。 The knitting device 102 of the present embodiment has a knitting rod body 106 and a processing member 120. When the covered conductive wire 48 and the knitting wire 50 are knitted using the knitting device 102 having such a simple structure, The covering portion 48B can be cut and the covering conductor 48 can be cut.

また、本実施形態の編み棒１０４は、編み棒本体１０６と加工部材１２０とを有しており、加工部材１２０は編み棒本体１０６に備えられる。編み棒本体１０６を被覆導線４８に対し前進及び後退させるときに、加工部材１２０も編み棒本体１０６と同期して前進及び後退するので、加工部材１２０の制御が容易である。 The knitting rod 104 of this embodiment includes a knitting rod main body 106 and a processing member 120, and the processing member 120 is provided in the knitting rod main body 106. When the knitting rod body 106 is moved forward and backward relative to the coated conductor 48, the processing member 120 is also moved forward and backward in synchronization with the knitting rod body 106, so that the processing member 120 can be easily controlled.

編み装置１０２は、駆動装置１４０を有するので、被覆導線４８に対する編み棒本体１０６の前進及び後退を、駆動装置１４０による所定のタイミングで確実に実行することが可能である。 Since the knitting device 102 includes the driving device 140, the knitting rod body 106 can be moved forward and backward with respect to the covered conductor 48 at a predetermined timing.

駆動装置１４０は、回転アーム１４６（回転部材の一例）を有しており、回転アーム１４６は支持ピン１５４で編み棒本体１０６を支持する。そして、モータ１４２による回転アーム１４６の回転動作で、編み棒本体１０６を被覆導線４８に対し容易に前進及び後退させることができる。回転アーム１４６に形成された長孔１４８内を編み棒本体１０６の支持ピン１５４がスライドし、回転軸１４４と支持ピン１５４の距離ＬＬを変更できる。これにより、回転軸１４４の回転角を一定でも、編み棒本体１０６の前進の長さを調整でき、モータ１４２の制御が容易である。 The driving device 140 includes a rotating arm 146 (an example of a rotating member), and the rotating arm 146 supports the knitting rod body 106 with a support pin 154. The knitting rod main body 106 can be easily moved forward and backward with respect to the covered conducting wire 48 by the rotation of the rotating arm 146 by the motor 142. The support pin 154 of the knitting rod body 106 slides in the long hole 148 formed in the rotation arm 146, and the distance LL between the rotation shaft 144 and the support pin 154 can be changed. Thereby, even if the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 144 is constant, the advancement length of the knitting rod body 106 can be adjusted, and the control of the motor 142 is easy.

回転アーム１４６は回転部材の一例である。回転部材としては、たとえば、円板状に形成された回転円板でもよい。この場合、回転円板の中心に回転軸１４４を固定し、回転円板の径方向に長孔を形成すればよい。 The rotating arm 146 is an example of a rotating member. As the rotating member, for example, a rotating disk formed in a disk shape may be used. In this case, the rotating shaft 144 may be fixed at the center of the rotating disk, and a long hole may be formed in the radial direction of the rotating disk.

加工部材１２０は、一対の切込刃１２８を有しており、切込部分４８Ｃの形成時には被覆部４８Ｂを挟んで切り込むので、切込部分４８Ｃの形成が容易である。 The processing member 120 has a pair of cutting blades 128. When the cutting portion 48C is formed, the processing member 120 is cut with the covering portion 48B interposed therebetween, so that the cutting portion 48C can be easily formed.

切込刃１２８には凹部１３２が形成される。切込部分４８Ｃを形成するときには、この凹部１３２により、切込刃１２８が導電線４８Ａを避けて切込部分４８Ｃを形成するので、導電線４８Ａの損傷を抑制できる。 A recess 132 is formed in the cutting blade 128. When forming the cut portion 48C, the concave portion 132 causes the cutting blade 128 to avoid the conductive wire 48A and form the cut portion 48C, so that damage to the conductive wire 48A can be suppressed.

凹部１３２には切断刃１３４が形成される。切込刃１２８が被覆導線４８に径方向に移動するだけの単純な動作で、被覆導線４８を切断できる。 A cutting blade 134 is formed in the recess 132. The covered conductor 48 can be cut by a simple operation in which the cutting blade 128 moves only in the radial direction to the covered conductor 48.

編み棒１０４は、押圧部の一例である開閉アーム１１２を有する。一対の切込刃１２８の間に位置した被覆導線４８が開閉アーム１１２を押すことで、切込刃１２８を接近させることができる。被覆導線４８を検知するセンサや、このセンサの検知結果に基いて切込刃１２８を駆動する装置が不要であり、簡単な構造で、確実に被覆導線４８に切込部分４８Ｃを形成できる。 The knitting rod 104 has an opening / closing arm 112 which is an example of a pressing portion. The covered blade 48 positioned between the pair of cutting blades 128 pushes the open / close arm 112, whereby the cutting blade 128 can be brought closer. A sensor for detecting the coated conductor 48 and a device for driving the cutting blade 128 based on the detection result of this sensor are not required, and the cut portion 48C can be reliably formed in the coated conductor 48 with a simple structure.

上記では、加工部材１２０が、被覆部４８Ｂへの切込形成と被覆導線４８の切断の両方を行える構造としているが、被覆部４８Ｂへの切込形成と被覆導線４８の切断とを、別々の部材で行うようにしてもよい。 In the above description, the processing member 120 has a structure capable of performing both the formation of the cut into the covering portion 48B and the cutting of the covered conductive wire 48. However, the formation of the cut into the covering portion 48B and the cutting of the covered conductive wire 48 are performed separately. You may make it carry out with a member.

上記実施形態の編み方法では編み装置１０２を用いているが、編み装置１０２を用いない編み方法も可能である。要するに、編み材料３４（被覆導線４８）と編み材料３８（被覆導線４８又は編み線５０）とを編み込む際に、被覆導線４８の被覆部４８Ｂへの切込形成又は被覆導線４８の切断を行えばよい。 Although the knitting apparatus 102 is used in the knitting method of the above embodiment, a knitting method without using the knitting apparatus 102 is also possible. In short, when the knitting material 34 (the coated conductor 48) and the knitted material 38 (the coated conductor 48 or the knitted wire 50) are knitted, the cut of the coated conductor 48 into the covering portion 48B or the cutting of the coated conductor 48 is performed. Good.
