Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable pattern stitching with such a simple operation as selecting only a stitching pattern and an arrangement pattern by providing a memory means for preliminarily saving a series of sewing positions for the stitching pattern as an arrangement pattern and a selector means for selecting and instructing the arrangement pattern. CONSTITUTION:An operator selects a stitching pattern to be sewn via the stitching pattern selector key of a keyboard 4. As a result, a stitching pattern selected from a memory section 2 is read out and saved in a control section 1. Then, if the selected pattern is not an allowed pattern such as a non-singular pattern, the control section l judges such status and displays an error message on a display section 5. When the error message is displayed, the operator must select another stitching pattern. If the selected pattern is allowable for pattern stitching, the first arrangement pattern is read out from the pattern memory section 2 and displayed. If the displayed arrangement pattern is as desired by the operator, the selection of the arrangement pattern is finished.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pattern sewing machine that sews a single pattern arranged at a desired position.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of sewing machine, a diagonal key for setting a sewing position of a sewing pattern is provided in addition to a pattern selection key for setting a series of sewing positions of a sewing pattern (hereinafter referred to as "arrangement pattern"). ing.

That is, in conventional sewing machines, a sewing pattern is selected using the pattern selection key, each sewing position of the sewing pattern is selected using the diagonal key, and each sewing position of the sewing pattern is memorized using the (+) key to select the layout pattern. It is set.

That is, when sewing a pattern as shown in Fig. 5 with a conventional sewing machine, select the sewing pattern ()\-t) with the pattern key,
Furthermore, input the diagonal key (1) and pattern key to instruct upward to the right, then input the downward right key (1) and pattern key to instruct downward to the right, and then input the upward right key (/7) twice. It is necessary to input the pattern keys continuously, and it is necessary to input the (+) key after each key input in order to memorize the input.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the input is simply a pattern input and a diagonal key manual input that are displayed in parallel in the input order.

Therefore, when inputting a long layout pattern, the number of key operations increases, which significantly reduces work efficiency, and furthermore, input operations become complicated, which may lead to erroneous inputs. Furthermore, since the input arrangement pattern itself cannot be displayed, it has the disadvantage that erroneous input cannot be detected at a glance.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention improves this point, and aims to provide a pattern stitch sewing machine that can input a layout pattern with a simple operation and can display the input layout pattern.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a second pattern sewing machine that sequentially arranges and sews a single pattern at a desired position, a storage means for storing in advance a series of sewing positions of a sewing pattern as a layout pattern;
The present invention is configured to include a selection means for selecting and instructing the arrangement pattern.

[Effect]

Therefore, it is possible to sew a pattern with a simple operation of selecting a sewing pattern and a layout pattern.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of essential parts of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 indicates a control section that performs control based on a control program. This control unit 1 stores various data.
A memory s2, a storage section 3 for storing created sewing data, a keyboard 4 for giving various instructions, and a display section 5 are connected, respectively. Here, the storage section 2 stores in advance sewing pattern data, frequently used arrangement pattern data, and the like. An explanatory diagram of this arrangement pattern is shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, each black dot of each figure on the left side indicates the sewing position of each sewing pattern, and each black dot is successive to form a series of arrangement patterns. Further, each figure on the right side of FIG. 2 indicates the amount of deviation between each pattern sewn using the arrangement pattern. That is, each pattern has a predetermined deviation amount in the lateral direction with respect to the sewing direction shown by the arrow in accordance with the arrangement pattern, and is sewn at the position shown by the square.

Here, the amount of deviation is 15 mm in the enlarged pattern.

5mm for reduced pattern, 10mm for large pattern, 3 for normal pattern
．． It is preset to 5mm.

FIG. 3 shows a 70-chart of one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 shows an explanatory diagram of the display state of the display unit 5 corresponding to the flowchart.

〔motion〕

The characteristic operation of one embodiment of the present invention configured in this way will be explained.

The operator selects the sewing pattern to be sewn using the sewing pattern selection keys on the keyboard 4. As a result, the selected sewing pattern is read out from the storage section 2 and stored in the control section 1 (third
Figure block 11, hereinafter simply referred to as "block"). The selected sewing pattern is displayed on the display section 5 as shown in the fourth [m(A)].

In this pattern selection, a plurality of sewing patterns may be selected using the pattern selection key, and each arrangement position in the arrangement pattern corresponding to each selected sewing pattern may be inputted from the keyboard.

Next, the operator inputs a layout pattern selection key on the keyboard 4 to select a layout pattern (block 13
). At this time, if the selected pattern is a pattern that cannot be sewn, such as a non-single pattern, the control unit 1 determines this and displays an unsewable message on the display unit 5 as shown in FIG. 4(C). (Blocks 13-15). If this unacceptable message is displayed, the operator will have to select another sewing pattern again.

If the selected sewing pattern is a pattern that can be sewn in a pattern, the first layout button shown in FIG. 2 (1) is read out from the storage unit 2 and displayed as shown in FIG. 4 (B) (block 14-19).

If the displayed layout pattern is the layout pattern desired by the operator, the layout pattern selection is finished (block 20.21).

Furthermore, if the displayed layout pattern is not the layout pattern desired by the operator, the operator inputs the layout pattern selection key and repeats this operation until the desired layout pattern is selected (block 16.17.19 .20). When the layout pattern desired by the operator is selected, the layout pattern selection is completed as described above, and the control unit 1 determines whether the type of the selected pattern is an enlarged pattern, a reduced pattern, or a large pattern.
It is determined whether the pattern is a normal pattern, and the selected arrangement pattern data and pattern sewing data are stored in the storage section 3 along with the amount of deviation depending on the type.

Furthermore, if the arrangement pattern desired by the operator is not stored in the storage unit 2, a pattern OFF display is made (blocks 17 and 18).

〔effect〕

As described above, the present invention provides a pattern sewing machine that sequentially arranges and sews individual patterns at desired positions, including a storage means for storing in advance a series of sewing positions of a sewing pattern as an arrangement pattern; The present invention is configured to include a selection means for selecting and instructing an arrangement pattern.

Therefore, a pattern can be sewn by a simple operation of selecting a sewing pattern and a layout pattern.

Furthermore, since the arrangement pattern is configured to be displayed, there is no possibility that the operator will make a mistake in selecting the arrangement pattern.

Furthermore, since it is configured to display patterns that cannot be sewn, it has excellent effects such as preventing errors in pattern selection.
