Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit signal of operation stop of a knitting machine to the knitting machine and stop the knitting machine by transmitting a knitting end signal by one glove-knitting circuit through a controller to operating circuit. CONSTITUTION:An operating circuit 20 turn operation of a knitting machine M on or off by signal of starting time and end time of operation input to a timer circuit 60. Low-speed operation and ordinary operation of the knitting machine are changed over according to running-in operation time input to the timer circuit. One glove-knitting circuit 40 is operated by arrival of operation end time input to the timer circuit and the finish signal is transmitted through a controller to the operating circuit by finish of knitting of glove halfway during knitting.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a glove knitting machine, and more particularly to an automatic control system for the glove knitting machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, knitted gloves such as work gloves and winter gloves have a fingertip portion 1, as shown in FIG.
After knitting 2, 3, 4 respectively, the upper part 5 of the palm is knitted continuously and integrally, and the thumb 6 is knitted independently. Then, the upper palm 5 and the thumb 6 are connected to knit a cylindrical lower palm 7 and a wrist 8 to form one glove 9
Becomes

An example of an operating system of a glove knitting machine for producing such gloves is shown in FIG. In the known knitting machine 70, a driving operation circuit 72 and a speed switching circuit 7 are provided via a control device 71.
3 and 1 knitting circuits 74 are incorporated.

First, when a power source is turned on,
A signal to start driving is issued from the control device 71 to the driving operation circuit 72, and the knitting machine 70 is started. Immediately after starting, the knitting machine 70 is operated at a low speed by the speed switching circuit 73, and the running-in operation of the knitting machine body is performed. This running-in usually takes about 1 hour. After the running-in, the speed switching circuit 73 switches to a normal speed for knitting gloves,
Gloves are continuously knitted.

At the end of the work, if the gloves in the middle of knitting remain on the knitting machine, it may interfere with the start of the next work. Therefore, the knitting circuit 74 is switched to knitting the last knitting work. Complete.

However, in such a conventional glove knitting machine operating system, it is necessary to manually start and stop the knitting machine and switch each circuit such as the speed switching circuit and the one-piece knitting circuit. It was Therefore, the knitting machine must always be staffed, which makes it difficult to save labor.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it automatically switches each circuit and, at the end of knitting, after finishing knitting all gloves in the middle of knitting. It is intended to provide a glove knitting machine automatic control system that enables significant labor saving by automatically controlling the knitting machine to stop.

[0008]

That is, the present invention is
A circuit that starts the operation of the knitting machine when the start time arrives,
A speed switching circuit that switches to normal operation after a low speed operation for a certain time after the start of operation, a single knitting circuit that knits one glove in the middle of knitting by an end signal when the end time arrives, and the completion of glove knitting by the one knitting circuit And a circuit for stopping the operation of the knitting machine according to the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for knitting gloves by the automatic control system for a glove knitting machine of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of an automatic control system for a glove knitting machine of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the automatic control system for the glove knitting machine of the present invention starts work at 6:00 am to operate the glove knitting machine, and then the low speed operation which is a running-in operation. The normal operation for knitting gloves is automatically switched, and the gloves are knitted automatically and continuously until the end of the work at 12:00 pm. At the end of the work, the gloves on the knitting machine are knitted by the knitting circuit, and then the operation of the knitting machine is stopped.

FIG. 2 shows an example of an automatic control system for a glove knitting machine according to the present invention. The automatic control system 10 includes a driving operation circuit 20, a speed switching circuit 30, and a one-piece knitting circuit 40, and these circuits are controlled by a control device 50.

The operation circuit 20 is for turning on and off the operation of the knitting machine M according to signals of the start time and the end time of the work inputted to the timer circuit 60 connected to the control device 50. The operation of the knitting machine M is started by the arrival of, and the low speed operation for the break-in operation is performed.

The speed switching circuit 30 is for automatically switching between the low speed operation of the knitting machine M and the normal operation for knitting gloves, and is switched according to the running-in operation time input to the timer circuit 60. In this embodiment, it is set to 1 hour.

The one-piece knitting circuit 40 is the timer circuit 60.
When the operation end time input to the timer arrives, the timer circuit 6
It is activated by a signal emitted from 0 and completely knits one glove in the middle of knitting on the knitting machine M.

When the knitting of gloves in the middle of knitting is completed by the one-piece knitting circuit 40, the signal is transmitted to the driving operation circuit 20 through the control device 60.
The driving operation circuit 20 transmits a signal for stopping the operation of the knitting machine M to the knitting machine M by the signal, and automatically stops the operation of the knitting machine M.

Then, the automatic control system of the glove knitting machine causes the knitting machine M to automatically operate again the next day, and the operation is started without manual labor.

[0017]

As shown and described above, according to the automatic control system of the glove knitting machine of the present invention, a great labor saving of work is realized, which is very useful for improving productivity and reducing manufacturing cost. Is.
