Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device used in a textile machine, and more particularly to a technique for displaying information in a form that is more familiar to a user when displaying information related to the operating status and settings of the textile machine.

  In the textile machine, with the recent development of electronics technology, the operation status of the machine is displayed, or the setting value of the machine is displayed via a display device capable of numerical input. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a setting device that is used in a loom, which is one of textile machines, and includes, for example, a liquid crystal display. Specifically, in order to set the information related to the machine settings, first, the current setting value is displayed on the display corresponding to the notation item (for example, on the warp tension setting screen, the character A plurality of “warp tension set values”) are displayed on the display. Next, the operator selects a setting item to be set, and touches the numeric keypad to input a new setting value. In such a display device, not only the setting screen but also, for example, an information display screen related to the operating state, for example, an actual value indicating a control state (for example, warp tension, weft arrival timing, etc.) is displayed by switching the screen display. Alternatively, it is also possible to proceed to a display screen for operating information such as the operating rate per past unit period and the number of stops, and display them. Therefore, the user can use such operation information to adjust the weft insertion, warp opening movement, winding or warp sending.

In a weaving factory where a large number of looms are arranged, operation information, which is information related to the operation status of each loom, is totaled using a computer for totaling operation information. In Patent Document 2, a host computer that functions as an operation information totaling device is connected so as to be able to communicate with a plurality of looms in a weaving factory, and the host computer stores operation data such as an operation rate and a stop type. Numeric data related to operation, such as the number of stops, the number of stops per hour, and the number of stops per predetermined number of picks, is read from each machine, and the read numerical information and corresponding item information (ie In addition, it is shown that the report is arranged for each machine and output as an operation report. In such an operation information totaling device, an operation report can be displayed on a display device and printed out via a printer.
JP 5-78954 A JP-A-61-231246

  A so-called microcomputer is used for the above-mentioned loom setting device and the operation information totaling device for totaling operation information, and a processing program provided by the loom manufacturer is incorporated to operate the so-called microcomputer. . On the maker side, the contents of notation items are determined based on commonly used terms, and are programmed and provided to the user. However, the operation information used for loom operation management on the user side varies from user to user or weaving factory, and even for the same operation information, the notation item content, which is the name of each user or weaving factory, is different. There are many. For this reason, the contents of the notation items cannot be corrected by the user for such a user, and the operation report output by using the presumed operation information totaling apparatus is also a notation item suitable for management by an individual user. There is a problem that it is difficult to understand.

  In recent years, such looms and operation information aggregation devices are not limited to Japan, but are also shipped to countries that are regarded as English, French, or other official languages. Therefore, weaving machine manufacturers should know the names used locally and provide processing programs. However, in reality, only a part of languages such as English widely used worldwide can be handled. In addition, as described above, it is extremely difficult to provide a processing program corresponding to different notation items for each user or weaving factory to all of these foreign users. The problem that the output operation information is difficult to understand is more serious for local workers and managers working in the weaving factory every day. This problem also exists in the setting device provided in each machine to display language information, which is information expressed in language, along with information on the operating status and settings in each machine, and only in the weaving factory. The present invention is not limited to this, and is also present in fiber factories such as a yarn supply factory having a large number of spinning machines and twisting machines, and a warp preparation factory having a plurality of warping machines and gluing machines.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and language information is displayed in an information display device used in a textile machine in a form that is more familiar to workers and managers of textile factories who are end users. There is to do.

Means, actions, and effects of the invention for solving the problems

  In view of this, the present invention displays language information expressed in language and used for machine operation or operation support on an output device by executing a display control program stored in a storage device.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below using a loom as one example of a textile machine as an example with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 shows a loom operation information totaling apparatus 10 provided in common to a plurality of looms 20, 20... Arranged in a weaving factory. The operation information totaling apparatus 10 is roughly composed of a host computer 11 constituted by a so-called personal computer or server, an input device 12 consisting of a keyboard or a mouse as a pointing device connected thereto, a display device, and the like. The output device 13 includes a storage device 14 and a reader (not shown) for loading software from a storage medium such as a CD-ROM.

  On the other hand, each loom 20 roughly includes a controller 40 for controlling the operation of the loom and a setting device 30 connected thereto, and the host computer 11 and each loom 20 are connected to each other. The controller 40 is connected so that information can be transmitted and received.

  Although not shown, the controller 40 receives signals from various sensors attached to the loom such as a yarn breakage sensor, a weft feeler, and a warp tension sensor, in addition to an angle sensor such as an encoder connected to the main shaft. The Then, if the air jet loom is taken as an example, the controller 40 controls the overall operation such as operation / stop of the loom, the main nozzle, the sub nozzle, the weft length measuring storage device and the like via an actuator (not shown), Weft insertion operation for inserting the weft thread into the warp opening, warp tension control for maintaining the warp tension at the desired tension, function for monitoring whether warp breakage, weft insertion is correct or not, and other control troubles, In addition to having a counter function that measures the winding length, which is the production volume, it also calculates operation information such as the production volume, stopping time, and operation rate of the woven fabric based on the grasped loom operation and control status. It also has a function. For this reason, the setting device 30 connected to the controller 40 has a function of setting each setting value necessary for controlling the loom and calculating the operation information, as well as an operating state, a control state, and the calculated machine base of the loom. It performs a so-called man-machine interface function between the operator and the loom, such as a function for displaying the operation information of the machine. The operation information calculated by the controller 40 is displayed on a display screen (not shown) provided in the setting device 30 in response to a request from the setting device 30. The controller 40 also has a function of sending the operation information back to the host computer 11 together with the machine number assigned to each machine in response to a request from the host computer 11.

  The operation information totaling apparatus 10 has a function of reading the operation information of each machine unit from the plurality of looms 20, 20... Together with the machine number, and outputting this information for each machine unit or each worker shift. Software for realizing this (display control program A, editing program B, and language notation data C, which will be described later) is provided by software manufacturers including loom manufacturers. For this reason, software provided in the form of a storage medium such as a CD-ROM is written in the storage device 14 via the reader and the host computer 11 (not shown), and the operator can use a program to be started. By inputting a corresponding command from the input device 12, the host computer 11 can selectively execute a program corresponding to the input operation. That is, by executing the display control program A and the editing program B, the host computer 11 can execute each function as the display control unit and the editing device in the present invention.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows the relationship between a software program executed by the host computer 11 and a data group referred to when the software program is executed. The display control program A for aggregating the operation information periodically reads the operation information of a plurality of units from each unit, and displays the operation represented by the read numerical value on the screen of the display device as the output device 13. This is a processing program for displaying information side by side for each machine number or work shift, or for displaying operation information of the entire factory calculated based on the operation information of each machine. The language notation data C is a language notation data group in which a plurality of notation items representing the positioning and meaning of the operation information represented by the numerical values in the form of a language are stored corresponding to the read label. On the other hand, the editing program B is a program for editing the contents of the notation items expressed in the language constituting the language notation data C.

  In the following embodiment, a weaving factory where 100 looms 2 are arranged is assumed. In FIG. 3, for example, the operation information totaling apparatus 10 arranged in the control room is arranged so that shift information, which is an operation report for each shift unit, is in ascending order with respect to the machine number and the shift number. An example of display output on the screen of the display device 13 is shown as an example. The illustrated shift information is for one day on October 28, 2004, two days before the current time (October 30, 2004), and the shift information is output in English. For details on the shift information shown in the figure, in order from the left of the drawing, the date, work shift number, and machine number, which are the items to be displayed for the operation information to be displayed, are first displayed, then the operation rate, stoppage, which is each operation information expressed in numerical values Stopping time, number of stops, number of stops per hour for each item totaled as a whole (all stops), weft stop and stop stop, and stop counts per hour, and more detailed stop by cause The number of stops, that is, the number of stops as a more specific weft stop, the number of stops by the weft feeler_H1 feeler for each weft thread type for each weft thread type, and the weft feeler_H2 feeler for blowout or long pick judgment In addition to the number of stops, droppers, ear braids Reno (right), Reno (left), catch cords, or manual stops Each number of stops, and displayed side by side in the transverse direction (row direction), and each machine number, the above-described operation information of each shift number in the vertical direction (column direction) are displayed side by side in this order. Moreover, the average operation information of the whole factory calculated based on the said operation information from each machine stand is displayed side by side at the lowest end in the vertical direction.

  At the uppermost position of these operation information numerical strings, a notation item indicating what numerical values are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction is the highest in the vertical direction (column direction) as information expressed in language (language information). Displayed in the previous row position. The illustrated example is an example in which the notation items are written in English. More specifically, “date” is “date”, “shift number” is “SHIFT No.”, etc., which is a notation item for recorded items, and “machine stand availability” as a notation item for operation information is “Efficiency”. “of loom”, “all stops” are “Total Stop”, “stop time” is “minutes”, and so on. Therefore, the notation items listed above in this embodiment correspond to “language information” in the present invention. In addition, a display of “Report by shift” which is information indicating that what is currently displayed is shift information is displayed at a position above these notation items.

  In addition, an icon “Return” for moving to a menu screen for moving to an operation information display screen other than the shift information is displayed. By clicking this icon with the mouse as the input device 12, the initial screen can be restored. Is possible. Similarly, while returning to the initial screen, an icon “Save and Return” is also displayed for storing the contents of the current shift information in a form that can be referred to later, and the current shift information is shown in FIG. As described above, it can be stored as a total result saving file.

  In such an operation information display device, not only the operation report to be output is calculated for each shift, but also the daily report, hourly report, weekly report, and monthly report unit, cloth report, and beam report. Such as those based on the length or warp exhaustion and those based on the person in charge of the work, etc. are considered, and these are created and output based on information sent from the loom side. In addition to displaying the operation reports simply by arranging the numerical values, it is also possible to display them by graphic display using a line graph or a bar graph indicating the ratio.

  Now, with respect to the features of the present invention, the notation items listed above are configured as a language notation data group having a different form from the processing program, and only the language notation data group can be edited using an editing program. FIG. 4 shows a part of a language notation data group referred to when the processing program A of the operation information totaling apparatus 10 is executed. The language notation data group is basically a plurality of notation items expressed in a language stored in correspondence with a read label which is an identifier for reading it, and such language notation data group further includes The entire data group is composed of different types of language notation data groups.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which language notation data groups corresponding to a plurality of types, which are different languages, are stored in corresponding storage areas as the entire language notation data group. Specifically, in the storage area corresponding to the standard language (STD), two types of language notation data groups corresponding to Japanese and English notation provided by the loom manufacturer are stored, and the edit language ( In the storage area corresponding to (EDIT), three types of language notation data groups that are the results of editing in different languages using an editing program can be stored. Note that these five types of language notation data groups are given SD1, SD2, and EX1, EX2, EX3 type labels C02 in the order listed above, and the corresponding language notation data is displayed when the subsequent operation information is displayed. Used when selecting a group. In the five types of language notation data groups, the contents of notation items to be displayed together with the operation information are stored for each read label C01 (for example, “a0001” to “xzzzz”). FIG. 4 shows a state in which the local user stores Korean notation items that are languages other than Japanese and English in each storage area corresponding to EX1 of the type label C02.

  On the other hand, the display control program A, which is a processing program, includes individual operation information represented by numerical values (for example, machine operation rate, number of stoppages, etc.), and information on read labels for notation items displayed together therewith. A first step of selecting, via a type label, a data group corresponding to a language selected by the operator from the plurality of types of stored language notation data groups; In response to the second step of reading the operation information from each machine and the display request for the operation information, the contents of the notation item of the operation information to be displayed are displayed from the selected language notation data group. In accordance with a third step of sequentially searching and reading out, and in accordance with an aspect of screen display design performed in advance by the loom manufacturer, It has been created to execute a fourth step of tiling. Thereby, the host computer 11 can display and output, for example, the operation information shown in FIG. 3 on the screen of the display device 13. When the operator selects the Korean notation that is the edited language in advance, the host computer 11 constituting the display control unit uses the Korean notation language in the first step of the display control program A. The notation data group is selected, and the shift information in FIG. 3 is output with Korean notation items, but for convenience of explanation, the English notation is shown instead.

  Considering the cost of the operation information totaling apparatus 10 as described above, it is more desirable to use a commercially available personal computer that has been developed rapidly in recent years as the host computer 11. For example, when such a commercially available computer is used, the operating system that is the basis of computer operation is widely adopted worldwide, and is compatible with the language specifications of each country (for example, WINDOWS, however, WINDOWS is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States). The processing program (that is, the display control program referred to in the present invention) for collecting the operation information described above is based on spreadsheet software widely used in this operating system. In this case, in addition to the host computer, the operating system and spreadsheet software must be prepared by the user. The weaving machine manufacturer has a built-in configuration of multiple macros for loom operation aggregation and the above. Dedicated software that runs on spreadsheet software will be provided. In this system, the language notation data group can be read at least from the spreadsheet software, that is, the notation items can be edited using the editing function of the spreadsheet software. In other words, spreadsheet software that can be edited into different language notation, software such as a character font that displays characters in the local language, and a front-end processor that replaces information entered in Roman characters with the local language, The spreadsheet software as a base, the dedicated software provided by the manufacturer, and the software including the character font for displaying characters in the local language correspond to the display control program.

  According to the apparatus of the first embodiment, the display control program A that is the basis for performing the display function of the operation information totaling apparatus 10 is separated from the language notation data group C, and the language notation data C group is The language information can be read out via the reading label C01 and is stored in the storage unit 14 in order to perform machine operation or operation support. Further, the display control program A can read out the language information corresponding to the display request from the language notation data group C via the reading label C01 and display it on the output unit 13. On the other hand, the operation information totaling device 10 provided so that the editing program B can be executed has a function as an editing device for the language notation data group C described above. For this reason, the local user activates the editing program B, edits the contents to be easily understood by the field worker via the input device 12 based on the language notation data group C provided by the manufacturer, and edits the contents. The new language notation data group C reflecting the result is written as the language notation data group C in the storage area corresponding to the type labels EX1 to EX3 of the storage unit 14. Therefore, the host computer 11 constituting the display control unit executes the display control program A, and the corresponding language information from the language notation data C group reflecting the result of editing on the local user side is read via the read label C01. Is read out and displayed on the output unit 13. As a result, the local user rewrites the language information to the language notation content suitable for each factory via the editing device to operate the machine or support the operation, so that the information displayed in the language on the information display device Since the notation is more familiar to the worker, the worker can understand the contents quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is possible to more quickly cope with problems occurring at the site, such as repairing the cause of stoppage and adjusting the machine base.

  Editing for such notation items is performed as necessary. For example, with respect to the notation item, depending on the user (weaving factory), a different name from the notation item provided by the manufacturer may be used for the operation information represented by a numerical value. In such a case, the result of editing the different names based on the standard notation items provided by the manufacturer corresponds to the edit language (EDIT) as an edited language notation data group. What is necessary is just to memorize | store in a memory area. That is, the present invention includes not only editing into different languages as in the above-described embodiment but also editing in the same language. Note that a user who does not have a problem with the language notation data group provided by the manufacturer may use the standard language notation data group provided by the manufacturer without editing.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 5 shows a setting device 30 which is provided on the loom one-on-one with respect to the loom and for inputting setting values of the loom or displaying information on the operating status of the loom, and is displayed in the language of the setting device. The block diagram of the editing apparatus 50 which edits the information performed is shown. Roughly speaking, the setting device 30 includes a microcomputer 31, a touch panel 32 having an input function and a color graphic display function, and a card interface (card I / F) for reading and writing information to and from the memory card 56. ) 35 and a processing program for controlling the entire setting device 30 via the microcomputer 31 to realize the setting function and the information display function, that is, the display control program and the language notation data group referred to in the present invention. The setting device 30 is connected to a controller 40 for controlling the loom as in the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, the editing device 50 provided separately from the setting device 30 of the loom roughly includes an editing computer 51 composed of a so-called commercially available personal computer, and a keyboard and pointing device connected thereto. As an input device 52 such as a mouse, an output device 53 constituted by a display device, a storage device 54, a card interface (card I / F) 55 for writing information to a memory card 56, and a storage medium such as a CD-ROM And a reader (not shown) for taking in software.

  FIG. 6 schematically shows the relationship between the program stored on the editing device 50 side and the program stored on the setting device 30 side. The editing program E is stored in the storage device 54 and the display control program D is stored in the storage device 34 so as to be executable.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of language notation data groups including a standard language notation data group F1 provided from the manufacturer side and an editable language notation data group F2 appropriately edited on the user side are independently provided. And stored in the memory 34. On the other hand, on the user side, for example, the editing language notation data group F <b> 2 is edited using the editing device 50 arranged in the control room, and the editing result is written in the memory card 56. Then, the operator causes the setting device 30 to read the stored contents of the memory card 56 and stores the editable language notation data group F2 in the storage device 34. In the setting device 30, the operator selects a language notation data group from a plurality of types by performing a language selection operation via the touch panel 32, and a display request is made in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Accordingly, the readout label C01 is retrieved from the selected language notation data group, and the information can be read out and displayed.

  In addition, when writing the data of the editable language notation data group F2 from the editing device 50 to the setting device 30 side, it is necessary not only for this data but also on the setting device 30 side such as character font data necessary for display. New information can be transferred at the same time. Further, regarding a specific method for performing such data transfer, instead of using the memory card, the editing device 50 is directly connected to the setting device to transfer data (for example, as in the first embodiment, Or a host computer connected to the machine base).

  In contrast to the first embodiment described above, the plurality of language information stored in each of the language notation data groups F1 and F2 are all input of set values for the loom, information on the machine operation status, and machine operation. Although it differs in that it is information relating to support, it is the same in that it is stored in a readable manner via the read label C01 and the type label C02, and is not shown for convenience of explanation. In addition, the processing program D for controlling the setting device 30 is functionally displayed as compared with the case of the first embodiment described above, specifically, the set value is displayed, information on the operating status of the machine base, and support for the machine operation. However, the processing steps including the first to fourth steps as described in the first embodiment are executed in response to the display request by the operator's screen operation. This is the same in that the corresponding information is read out from the data group to be read through the read label C01 and displayed on the touch panel 32 according to the screen display mode designed in advance.

  The language information displayed on the setting device 30 of the loom will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings and FIGS. The display of the screen shown below shows an example of an air jet loom capable of inserting multi-color wefts. Specifically, the air jet loom disassembles one-pitch weft yarn stored in the weft length measuring storage device. However, it is a loom of the type in which the main nozzle and a plurality of sub nozzles are relay injected and inserted into the warp opening, and the arrival of the weft is detected by an optical weft feeler having a detection area on the weft runway on the opposite weft insertion side It is equipped with an automatic repair device (a so-called APR device) that immediately determines whether weft insertion is correct or not, and immediately stops the loom when a weft insertion error occurs during operation and removes the weft insertion error thread from the weaving port and restarts operation. This is an example of a loom. In the screen display example shown below, if the language selection operation performed by the operator selects Korean, which is a language other than Japanese or English, the language information will be displayed as Korean notation. As in the description of the first embodiment, the description written in Japanese will be used instead for the sake of explanation.

  The display example of the screen 36 shown in FIG. 7 is a setting value input screen for the weft insertion condition for the weft insertion device, which is one of the setting values of the loom. As information displayed in the language, the display area G1 Is displayed as “main / normal” indicating that it is a screen for the normal rotation state with respect to the main nozzle, and the display area G2 is associated with the weft length measuring and storing device provided for two types of wefts. “C1”, “C2”, “Locking pin”, “Main”, “Auxiliary”, which indicates the display column of the current setting value of each operation timing with respect to the main pin and auxiliary main nozzle which are stop pins “Main”, “ON”, and “OFF” are displayed side by side with numerical values representing the set values. When changing or inputting these setting values, touch the corresponding display field to display a numeric keypad (not shown) on the screen, and touch the corresponding numeric key in order to enter the setting value. The display control program is created. Also, in the lower part of the screen, icons “1st pick” and “2nd pick” for switching to the same setting screen in the transient operation state at the time of loom start-up, so-called 1ST pick and 2nd pick, and other sub-nozzles that are weft insertion nozzles The icon “sub-nozzle” for switching to the setting screen and the icon k0 “close” for closing this screen and returning to the initial screen are displayed on the same screen. Touch these icons. Switch to the corresponding setting screen.

  The display example of the screen 36 shown in FIG. 8 is a display screen that displays a weft flying situation, that is, a statistical value of the weft arrival timing, which is one of the control situations of the loom. The weft arrival timing is the main shaft angle when the above-mentioned weft feeler detects the weft. The statistical value of the weft arrival timing stores the weft arrival timing for each weft insertion pick and sets it to a predetermined sampling number. The average value, the maximum value and the minimum value calculated based on the arrival timing values corresponding to the number of samplings stored in advance at the time of reaching, and the standard deviation indicating the scale in variation can be mentioned. In the display area G4 of the screen 36, these statistical values are graphically displayed as a line graph or a foot chart over the past 100 sampling picks while different display colors are used. “Information displayed in language” as a notation item on this screen includes “weft arrival angle” and “standard deviation” indicating the meaning of the vertical axis of the graphic display, and sampling for calculating statistical values in the display area G5. “Sampling number” indicating that it is an input field when selecting a number corresponds to that.
