DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a braid data creation device of a torsion lace knitting machine according to the present invention. The braided drawing creating apparatus of the torsion lace knitting machine has a computer configuration, and a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 1 is arranged at the center. A bus 2 is drawn from the CPU 1, and a RAM 3, a ROM 4, a hard disk driver 5, a floppy disk driver 6, a display device 7, a keyboard 8, a scanner 9, a printer 10, and a mouse 11 are connected to the bus 2. These devices perform the same operation as a normal personal computer, but the hard disk drive 5 stores software necessary for operating the braid data creation device of the torsion lace knitting machine. The scanner 9 is indispensable when reading a design image created by a conventional method, and the printer 10 is indispensable for printing out the created organization chart.
[0008]
Next, the flow of operation of the braid data creation device of the torsion lace knitting machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
First, when the design of the torsion race is conceived by the designer and a design diagram (FIG. 3) is created (step S1), the design diagram is read by the scanner 9 (step S2). The read image data is created in an image data format determined by the reading software (for example, a bitmap file format in which the extension attached to the file name of the image data is .BMP) (step 3). The created image data can be stored in a storage device in the computer or can be stored in an external storage device. The image data can also be displayed on the screen using software such as Windows 95.
[0009]
The person who performs the work uses organization chart creation software (step S4) to display an organization chart creation screen. The organization chart creation software has been developed by the present applicant and is generally used. According to this software, a grid divided into vertical and horizontal grids appears, and an initial screen for creating an organization chart is displayed. Also, the design drawing is read from the storage device and displayed as a sketch of the organization chart. FIG. 4 shows an organization chart in which a design diagram is displayed as a sketch. Here, the operator looks at the design image displayed as a sketch, and the number of spindles to be used, the number of organization charts to be created, and the amount of tension applied to each braided thread drawn from the bobbin attached to the spindle. The type of braided yarn is determined and these data are input. This data is stored in the second storage means provided in the hard disk drive 5. After the input of these data, the operator creates dots in the organization chart by adding dots to necessary portions in the grid of the organization chart while referring to the design image displayed as a sketch (step S5). FIG. 5 shows an example of the organization chart created. The dots in the grid indicate the positions where the spindles intersect at each operation step, and these intersection positions are stored in the first storage means.
[0010]
The first storage means in the storage device of the computer assigns addresses vertically and horizontally in the organization chart, along with the dot position data in the meshes to which the addresses are attached, the amount of tension of each braided yarn that intersects at the dot portion, and the braid The thread type is stored. The computer can also print the organization chart from the printer using the organization chart data (step S6).
[0011]
First, the computer reads out the organization chart data, scans the data side by side in order to determine the movement state of each spindle, determines the flow data of the braided yarn drawn from the bobbin attached to each spindle, Store as data. The computer can output the yarn hook diagram using the yarn hook diagram data. An example is shown in FIG . The computer further scans and reads the stored thread drawing data in the horizontal order, sets the amount of tension applied to each braided yarn as the weight of each braided yarn, and when the braided yarns intersect, the braided yarns are relatively The amount of movement to the left and right is calculated. As a result of this calculation, the movement trajectory of the braided yarn to be braided is obtained. When this scanning is sequentially performed side by side and one row at a time, it is possible to express a state in which each braided yarn is actually entangled while moving left and right. That is, this represents a knitted torsion lace design, and an example of a design printed using this data is shown in FIG.
[0012]
The operator discovers a mistake while looking at the displayed torsion race pattern, finds a part to be corrected, and corrects the organization chart. Of course, when the organization chart is corrected, the organization chart data is also corrected. If old data before correction is required, it is stored separately using a different file name. Further, the computer performs the same operation as described above using the corrected organization chart data, creates yarn hooking chart data, creates a pattern from this data, and displays it on the display device 10 . When the desired design is obtained, the organization chart data and the thread drawing data are stored as final data.
[0013]
From the organization chart data or the thread drawing data, the moving position of each spindle can be read over time. The computer creates sequence control data according to the operation of the spindle (steps S7 and S8). In addition to being stored in a storage device in the computer, this data is sent to the sequence controller of the torsion lace knitting machine to operate the knitting machine.
[0014]
