Further, the needle position signal from the OR circuit 91 is applied to the control terminal Ib of the -pulse delay circuit 126, and the -pulse delay circuit 126 receives the output signal from the comparator circuit 123 at the input terminal Ia. is applied and then a needle position signal is applied from the OR circuit 91, an output pulse is applied from the output terminal O to the reset input terminal R of the flip-flop circuit 125 as an output signal.

The set output signal from the set output terminal Q of the flip-flop circuit 125 is applied via the amplifier circuit 127 to the other end of the excitation coil 2L21, one end of which is grounded.

128 is a correction circuit whose input terminals Ia and Ib are given output signals from the respective second output terminals ob of the memory circuits 108 and 109, and whose comparison input terminal Ic
is given the output signal from the output terminal 0 of the counter 103, the center signal from the photoelectric element 32 is given as the correction command signal to the correction command terminal Id, and the control terminal Ie
is configured to receive a direction signal from the inverter circuit 98, an output signal from the first output terminal Oa is applied to a correction input terminal Ib of the memory circuit 108,
The output signal from the second output terminal ob is the memory circuit 109
is applied to the correction input terminal Ib of.

Based on the applied signal, this correction circuit 128 sends a correction command to the correction command terminal Id when the carriage 6 is moving to the left (when the direction signal applied to the control terminal Ie is (0)). When the command is given, the output terminal Oa
, Ob generates an output signal and applies it to each correction input terminal Ib of the memory circuits 108 and 109, thereby adding (-1) to the memory contents of the memory circuits 108 and 109, and also causes the carriage 6 to move to the right. When moving (when the direction signal given to the control terminal Ie is (1)), output signals are generated from the output terminals Oa and Ob at the time when the correction command signal is given to the correction command terminal Id, and the memory circuit 108,
This is a correction to add (+1) to the stored contents of 109.

Next, to explain the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the needle numbers of the knitting needles 3 are assigned using the number "0" on the needle bed 2 as a reference point. , Therefore, even when counting needle numbers, this number "0" part serves as the reference point.

Therefore, when knitting works using a hand knitting machine,
First, trial knitting is performed using the knitting yarn used for the knitting, and the stitch gauge is measured.

That is, this is because the number of stitches per certain length or the length value per certain stitch length differs depending on the knitting yarn or the like used.

In this embodiment, for example, the stitch gauge is 8 with 40 horizontal stitches.
It is set so that knitting is possible within the ranges of 0 to 160 mm and 60 vertical rows and 90 to 180 mm.

Therefore, in order to start the knitting operation, for example, the carriage 6
If the needle is mounted from the right side on the needle bed 2, the mounting position detector 94 detects this and generates a right position signal.
This right position signal is applied to each reset input terminal RJ of flip-flop circuits 84 and 85 via OR circuits 87 and 88.
C is applied to reset the flip-flop circuits 84 and 85.

Further, since this right position signal is applied to the right input terminal Ia of the preset command circuit 105, the preset command circuit 105 presets the numerical content (+104) in the counter 103.

When the carriage 6 is moved to the left on the needle bed 2, the connecting claw 22 on the right side engages with the connecting pin 39 of the traveling base 27, and the traveling base 27 is also moved to the left. Along with this, the running belt 42 is also moved in the same direction and the pulley 4
1 in the direction of arrow F.

Therefore, the pulley 49 that rotates together with the pulley 41 is also rotated in the same direction to move the scanning belt 48 to the left, and therefore the head base 46 fixed to the scanning belt 48 is also moved to the left. The reading head 79 attached thereto slides on the magnetic sheet 51 and moves to the left for scanning, and the readers 80 to 83 also slide on the scale plate 74 and move to the left.

In this case, since the diameter ratio of the boots 149 and 41 is 1:4.5, while the head base 46 moves leftward by 1 nm, the carriage 6 and hence the traveling base 27 move leftward by 4.5 nm. become.

When the traveling base 27 moves to the left together with the carriage 6, the print head 35 and the sensors 29 to 31 also move to the left.

For example, the sensor 31 detects the needle number "104J (knitting needle 3)".
When the photoelectric element 34 encounters the needle position scale 26 corresponding to the point (not present), the photoelectric element 34 generates a needle position signal as an output pulse, which is applied to the set input terminal S of the flip-flop circuit 85 via the OR circuit 86. The flip-flop circuit 85 is in the set state and its set output signal is (1
).

Then, when the sensor 30 encounters the needle position scale 25 corresponding to the needle number "103J", the photoelectric element 33 generates a needle position signal as an output pulse, which is sent to the flip-flop circuit 84.
The needle position signal is applied to the set input terminal S of the flip-flop circuit 84 to invert the flip-flop circuit 84 to the set state, and the needle position signal is also applied to the AND circuit 90.
0 provides the needle position signal through an OR circuit 91 as an input signal to one of AND circuits 96 and 97.

On the other hand, when the carriage 6 is moving to the left, the direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 is "0" and this is given as the other input signal to the AND circuits 96 and 97, so the needle position signal is is added to the subtraction input terminal Ib of the counter 103 via the AND circuit 96, and the count content of the counter 103, that is, the needle number, becomes (103).

Since the needle position signal from the AND circuit 90 is applied to the reset input terminal RE of the flip-flop circuit 85 via the delay circuit 93 and the OR circuit 88, the flip-flop circuit 85 is reset with a slight delay. Invert state.

In the same manner, needle position signals are generated alternately from the photoelectric elements 34 and 33, so that the count content of the counter 103 is (
102), (101).

... will be subtracted.

By the way, it is assumed that the knitting pattern 68 recorded on the magnetic sheet 51 is used, and therefore the contact piece (a) of the changeover switch 113 is
-d) Close the gap in advance.

), for example, the horizontal dimension of the right half of the knitted work after completion of knitting is planned to be 180 mm, and the stitch gauge of the trial knitting using the knitting yarn used for knitting is 40 stitches and 120 mm. The magnetic sheet 51 has 180÷4.5=40
Therefore, the right outer shape of the knitting pattern 68 is recorded on the line γ1 of the 40th zone, which is the 40th zone counting from the "0" zone to the right.

Furthermore, since the knitting type 68 is bilaterally symmetrical, based on the above-mentioned reason, on the magnetic sheet 51, the left side of the knitting type 68 is placed on the line 71 of the 40th 140 zone counting from the "0" zone to the left. This means that the outer mold of the object is recorded.

Therefore, the head base body 46 runs and the reading head 79 thereon is moved to the formation type 68 in the zone 40 on the magnetic sheet 51.
When the outer mold is read and a mold signal is generated, at the same time, the reader 8
2 reads the corresponding synchronization scale γ7, generates a synchronization signal, and applies this to the gate terminal G of the gate circuit 110 via the synchronization signal generation circuit 112, so that the gate circuit 110 is in an open state. Then, the type signal from the RAD 79 is applied to the input terminal (2) of the gate open signal generating circuit 111.

The gate open signal generation circuit 111 generates a gate open signal from the first output terminal Oa since the mold signal is the first one, and excites this signal via the OR circuit 115 and the printing device drive circuit 116. The excitation coil 37 is controlled to turn on and off once, causing the plunger 36 to move backward and then forward once, and the head pin 38 makes a dot on the printing paper 44.

In this case, possible dot methods using the head pin 38 include using pressure-sensitive paper as the print paper 44, placing an ink ribbon between the print paper 44 and the pad pin 38, or attaching a pen to the head pin 38. It will be done.

On the other hand, since the gate open signal from the output terminal Oa of the gate open signal generation circuit 111 is applied to the gate terminal G of the gate circuit 106, the gate circuit 106 is in an open state, and the count contents of the counter 103 at this time, that is, the needle The number (41) is given to the memory circuit 108 to be recorded.

In this way, when the carriage 6 is moved to the left until the sensor 29 on the traveling base 21 corresponds to the center scale 24, a correction action is performed by the correction circuit 128, but this will be explained below. Add explanation.

Now, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIG. When the base body 27 is moved to the left in order to read the outer pattern on the right side, when the sensor 30 encounters the needle position scale 25 corresponding to the knitting needle 3 with needle number "3", the counter 1
The count content of 03 becomes (3), but immediately after that, the reading head 79 starts reading the outer mold of the knitting mold 68 and generates a mold signal, and the stored content of the memory circuit 108 becomes (3).

However, when the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27, is moved to the right (at this time, the counter 103 performs an adding operation as described later).

), when the sensor 31 encounters the needle position scale 26 corresponding to the knitting needle 3 with needle number "2", the content of the counter 103 becomes (2
) However, after that, the reading head 79 reads the outer pattern of the knitting pattern 68 and generates a pattern signal, and the stored content of the memory circuit 108 becomes (2).

In this way, the knitting pattern 68 at the same position on the magnetic sheet 51
Even if the outer shape is the same, the contents stored in the memory circuit 108 differ depending on the moving direction of the traveling base 27, and correction is required.

In this embodiment, since the setting is such that it is normal to scan in the left and right directions with the "0" zone of the magnetic sheet 51 as a reference, the scanning proceeds toward the "0" zone of the magnetic sheet 51. If the image is scanned in such a way, correction is required.

Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned example, when the traveling base 27 is moved to the left side and the sensor 29 encounters the center scale 24 and the photoelectric element 32 generates a center signal, this causes the correction circuit 12 to
At the time when the correction command signal is given to the correction command terminal Id of 8, the correction circuit 128 gives an output signal that adds (-1) to the correction input terminal Ib of the memory circuit 108, and changes the memory contents of the memory circuit 108. Correct from (3) to (2).

For the above reason, when the carriage 6 is moved to the right in order to read the outer mold on the left side of the knitting mold 68, (+1) is added to the content (-3) of the memory circuit 108, and the content becomes (-2).
) is corrected.

As is clear from the above, the “0” of the magnetic sheet 51
In the case where the outer shape of the formation model 68 is recorded in the 40th zone counting from the 40th zone, when the carriage 6 and therefore the traveling base 27 are being moved to the left, the counter 1 is
Immediately after the counted content of 03 becomes (41), a type signal is generated from the reading head 79, and the stored content of the memory circuit 108 becomes (41). Therefore, the correction circuit 12
8 is given a correction command signal from the photoelectric element 32, the correction circuit 128 corrects the stored contents of the memory circuit 108 to (40).

The central signal from the photoelectric element 32 is sent to the delay circuit 104.
is applied to the counter 103 via the OR circuit 8.
6 to the AND circuit 96 to the subtraction input terminal Ib of the counter 103.
Immediately after the count reaches (0), the counter 10 is reset for safety by a signal input to its reset terminal R.
3 is set to (0) again.

Thereafter, when the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27 is moved to the left and the sensor 30 encounters the needle position scale 25 corresponding to the needle number "-1", the photoelectric element 33 generates a needle position signal and the counter 103 The count content becomes (-1), and thereafter the counter 103 counts (-2), (-3), etc.
・Changes the counting contents.

Immediately after the count of the counter 103 becomes (-40), the reading head 39 senses the left outer mold of the knitting mold 68 and begins to generate a mold signal, which is transmitted through the gate circuit 110. It is applied to the input terminal (2) of the gate open signal generation circuit 111.

The gate open signal generation circuit 111 generates a gate open signal from the second output terminal ob by being supplied with the two-way type signal, and this gate open signal is transmitted to the OR circuit 115 and the printing device drive circuit 116. is applied to the excitation coil 37 through the print head 3.
5 forms dots on the print paper 44.

At the same time, this gate open signal is applied to the gate terminal G of the gate circuit 107, so the gate circuit 107 becomes open and the count content (-40) of the counter 103 at this time is stored.

Thereafter, when the movement of the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27 is reversed from left to right, the direction signal, which is the output signal of the inverter circuit 98, is reversed from (0) to (1), and at this reversal, the OR circuit 101 is output from the OR circuit 101. A carriage inversion signal as an output pulse is generated, and this inversion signal is sent to the gate open signal generation circuit 11.
The gate open signal generating circuit 111 is reset by being applied to the reset terminal R of No. 1.

Further, this carriage inversion signal is applied as a calculation command signal to the calculation command terminal Id of the calculation circuit 117 via the calculation command circuit 120', and the calculation circuit 117 starts calculation.

That is, in this arithmetic circuit 117, for example, from the memory content "40" of the memory circuit 108, 40X4.5=180
im and the actual dimensions of the knitted work to be knitted, and then calculate the memory contents of the storage device 118 from 40 stitches 120ii to 180÷
Stop-60 and 0 Number of knitting needles 3 required for the knitting work In other words, the needle number counted from number "0" is calculated and stored in the memory circuit 120.

In addition, in the above case, the calculation result is, for example, 60.3...
If there is a surplus as in ., the outward needle number, for example "61", is stored in the memory circuit 120.

Similarly, the arithmetic circuit 117 calculates the memory contents of the memory circuit 109 (
-40) to (-60) are calculated and stored in the memory circuit 121.

This (therefore, the display device 122 is r6oJ, r-60
The numerical value of J is displayed, and the knitting width is instructed to the effect that the knitting work is knitted (the required knitting needle 3 is between needle number "60" and [-60J).

Note that when the carriage 6 is reversed so as to move from left to right, the carriage 6 remains until the connecting claw 22 on the left side of the carriage 6 engages with the connecting pin 39 of the traveling base 27. For example, if there is a knitting needle 3 that corresponds to the electromagnet 14i on the right side when reversing, the connecting claw 22 on the left side of that knitting needle 3 will move to the right. When they match, they now correspond to the electromagnet 14 on the left side, and no deviation occurs when the knitting needles 3 are selected by the electromagnet 14 as described below.

Further, when the movement of the carriage 6 is reversed from left to right, the connecting claw 22 on the right side is separated from the connecting pin 39, and the connecting claw 22 on the left side engages with the connecting pin 39. Since there is some time between, the arithmetic circuit 11
7 can sufficiently perform arithmetic operations.

On the other hand, since the carriage reversal signal from the OR circuit 101 is given to the excitation coil 65 via the ratchet drive circuit 114, the ratchet wheel 64 is connected to the rotating disk 62.
is rotated by a predetermined angle in the direction of arrow E.

As a result, the feed drum 50 is rotated in the direction of arrow C in relation to the speed ratio of the disc-shaped continuously variable transmission mechanism 63, which is set according to the vertical size of the knitted stitches, and thereby, for example, 60 vertical stages and 90 mm. At this time, the magnetic sheet 51 is fed by a predetermined amount (0.5 mm) in the direction of the arrow, and at the same time, the feed drum 43 is also rotated in the direction of the arrow A via the gear transmission mechanism 59, so that the print paper 44 is moved in the direction of the magnetic sheet. 51, that is, the actual size of the knitted work (1.5 mm).

Thus, when the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27 is moved to the right, at the beginning of the movement, the direction signal (1) from the inverter circuit 98 is output before the needle position signal is output from the OR circuit 91. Since it is now given as an input signal to the AND circuit 97, the needle position signal that has passed through the OR circuit 91 is now given to the addition input terminal Ia of the counter 1031, and the counter 103 now performs an addition operation. Become.

When the traveling base 27 is moved to the right, the head base 46 is also moved in the same direction, and the reading head 79 scans the next stage of the magnetic sheet 51 to the right.

Thereafter, the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27 is moved to the right, so that the count content of the counter 103 becomes (-60).
At this time, as the carriage 6 moves, the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 with the needle number "-60" is relatively introduced into the introduction passage 9 on the left side, and the upper end of the butt 4 is guided by the electromagnet 14. The needle selection position is such that the needle is in contact with the lower surface of the plate 20 and the side edge is in contact with the tip side edge of the guide strip 18.

At the same time, the comparator circuit 124 compares the memory content (-60) of the memory circuit 121 and the count content (-60) of the counter 103, and when the two match, it generates an output pulse as an output signal, and sends this pulse to the flip-flop. The flip-flop circuit 12 is applied to the set input terminal S of the circuit 125.
5 to the set state.

Therefore, the set output signal of the flip-flop circuit 125 becomes (1), which is applied to the excitation coil 21 via the amplifier circuit 127, so that the excitation coil 21 is energized and the electromagnet 14 is activated by the needle number "-". 60J knitting needle 3
The knitting needles 3 are selectively moved to a second selected position in front to participate in knitting.

Note that the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 that is not selected by the electromagnet 14
As the carriage 6 moves, the knitting needles 3 are guided directly from the introduction passage 9 to the first guide passage 11, and the knitting needles 3 remain at the rear first selection position not involved in knitting.

After that, the set output signal of the flip-flop circuit 125 becomes "1" and the excitation coil 21 continues to be energized, so that the knitting needle 3 located to the right of the needle number [-60J is The selection is moved to the selected position.

During this time, the magnetic sheet 5 is also read by the reading head 79.
The outer mold of the knitting mold 68 on the top 1 is read, and when the reading head 79 generates a mold signal, the time t
The count contents of the counter 103 are stored in the memory circuit 108.
is memorized.

Then, when the photoelectric element 32 generates the center signal, the correction circuit 128 changes the memory contents of the memory circuit 108 by (+1
) is added to perform the correction.

Further, when the carriage 6, that is, the traveling base 27 is moved to the right and the count content of the counter 103 becomes (60), the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 with needle number "60" is moved to the electromagnet 14.
The needle selection position is determined by

Then, the comparison circuit 123 generates an output pulse as an output signal when the memory content (60) of the memory circuit 120 and the counting content (60) of the counter 103 match, and sends this to the input terminal Ia of the -pulse delay circuit 126. give, but
The -pulse delay circuit 126 produces no output signal.

Therefore, the knitting needle 3 with needle number "60" is also selectively moved to the second selection position by the electromagnet 14.

Thereafter, when a needle position signal is generated from the OR circuit 91, it is applied to the control terminal Ibt of the -pulse delay circuit 126, so that the -pulse delay circuit 126 generates an output pulse as an output signal and sends it to the flip-flop circuit 12.
5, the flip-flop circuit 125 is inverted to the reset state and its set output signal becomes H(0), and the excitation coil 21 is cut off.

At this time, the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 with needle number "61" is connected to the electromagnet 1.
4, but because the excitation coil 21 was cut off, it was not selectively moved to the second selection position;
This is the selection position for needle number "62" in the same way.
'', the knitting needles 3 located to the right also remain at the first selected position.

As a result of the above, the knitting needles 3 between needle numbers "60° and [-60J", which are necessary for knitting the knitting work, have been selectively moved to the second selection position involved in knitting.

After that, when the carriage 6 is reversely moved to the left again,
A normal knitting operation is performed by the knitting needles 3 with the above needle numbers "60" to [-60J, and the knitting needles 3 on the outer side remain at rest in the first selected position, and after knitting, the Knitting needles 3 by electromagnet 14 for knitting
selection is made, and at the same time the magnetic sheet 51 of the next stage is selected.
The outer mold of the upper knitting mold 68 will be read.

Thereafter, by moving the carriage 6 left and right in the same manner, the knitting needles 3 necessary for knitting the knitting work are selected, and the print head 35 prints a full-sized outside corresponding to the knitting pattern 68 on the print paper 44. A mold is now formed by the dots.

Therefore, every time the carriage 6 slides once, a difference occurs in the position of the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 between the first selection position and the second selection position. The other knitting needles 3 are displayed very clearly, and the needle numbers of the right and left knitting needles 3 at the outermost end of the required knitting needle group are very clearly displayed on the display device 122. If, for example, there is an increase or decrease in the knitting needles involved in knitting in the previous stage by visual inspection, the usual operations of increasing or decreasing stitches are performed as before.

By the way, if we consider the case of knitting the upper part of the right shaft part 68d, the right shoulder part 68c, and the right half of the collar part 68a of the knitting pattern 68, the outer shapes on the magnetic sheet 51 are all "0". Since the stitches are stored to the right of the zone, the contents stored in memory circuits 108 and 109 are both plus (1) needle numbers.

Therefore, when the carriage 6 is moved to the left, when the center signal is generated from the photoelectric element 32, the correction circuit 128
“-1” is applied to both memory circuits 108 and 109 by
The stored contents are corrected by adding .

Conversely, the upper part of the left shaft part 68e of the knitting type 68, the left shoulder part 6
8b and the left half of the collar section 68a, the outer shapes are all stored to the left of the "0" zone on the magnetic sheet 51, so the memory circuits 108 and 10
The contents stored in 9 are both negative (→ needle numbers).

Therefore, when the carriage 6 is moved to the right, when the center signal is generated from the photoelectric element 32, the correction circuit 128 adds "+1" to both the memory circuits 108 and 109 to correct the stored contents.

Incidentally, when the reading head 79 reads the outer shape of one row of the knitting mold 68 on the magnetic sheet 51, two mold signals are normally generated by one scan of the reading head 79 to the left or right. This causes the memory circuit 108 to
and 109 are for storing the left and right needle numbers, for example, the collar shaved part 68a of the knitting type 68 or the right sleeve pricked part 68d.
1. In a relatively gentle arc-shaped portion such as the left sleeve prick 68e, when two or more type signals are generated (when the reading head 79 scans near line 72 in FIG. ).

In such a case, the gate signal generating circuit 111 generates a gate open signal at its first output terminal Oa in response to the -th type signal and applies it to the gate circuit 106, and the memory circuit 108 stores the contents of the counter 103 at that time. but,
The second and subsequent type signals are given to the gate open signal generation circuit 111 by generating a gate open signal from its second output terminal ob each time and giving it to the gate circuit 107.
Therefore, the memory circuit 109 updates and stores the counting contents of the counter 103 at the time t, and therefore the memory circuit 108 stores the counting contents of the counter 103 at the time of the first type signal, and the memory circuit 109 stores the counting contents of the counter 103 at the time of the first type signal.
9 stores the count contents of the counter 103 at the time of the last type signal.

The above is a case of knitting using knitting type 68,
When knitting is performed using other knitting types 66°67, the contact pieces (a-b) of the changeover switch 113, (a-c)
If the gap is closed, it is done in the same way.

According to this embodiment, width information based on the stitch gauge obtained by trial knitting is given to the number key 119, and then the carriage 6 is moved left and right.
Selection of the knitting needles 3 necessary for knitting the knitting work by the electromagnet 14, display of the needle number of the selected knitting needles 3, knitting operation by the selected knitting needles 3, and creation of a full-sized paper pattern by the print head 35 of the printing device. This is done automatically, and the knitting width can be automatically specified with a simple operation, making it extremely convenient.

In addition, in the middle of knitting a knitted work, in the part where the left and right knitted fabric parts need to be knitted separately, that is, the right half and left half of the collar stitching part 68a, printing is performed when transitioning from the right to the left. The paper 44 is returned in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow A while the magnetic sheet 51 remains stopped, and set so that the lower end of the right half of the collar prick 68a already dotted on the print paper 44 corresponds to the print head 35. After that, knitting of the left half of the collar part 68a begins.

That is, when the shaft 56 is operated by an appropriate contact/separation mechanism (not shown) and the gears 54, 57, 55, 58 are temporarily separated from each other, only the feed drum 43 is connected thereto. It is rotated by a manual feed dial and the printing paper 44 is returned.

Therefore, the printing paper 44 on which the full-size pattern is created by dots can be used as a pattern model to be used to form the knitted fabric (knitted fabric work) when the knitted fabric (knitted fabric work) has been knitted using this printing paper 44 is ironed. This allows you to create extremely beautiful knitted works.

FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a second embodiment of the present invention,
The same parts as in FIGS. 9 and 10 in the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference numerals, and only the different parts will be explained below.

First, refer to FIG. 11.

Reference numeral 129 denotes a magnetic sheet provided in place of the magnetic sheet 51 in the above embodiment, and the difference from the magnetic sheet 51 is that this has a width of 0.5 mm and records at least 3-bit signals in this zone. In addition, a zone in the center is a "0" zone where no signal is recorded.

In this magnetic sheet 129 as well, 3 bits in each zone on the left and right are used for recording the formation types 66, 67 and 68 in the embodiment described above, with the "0" zone as a reference.

Therefore, if the width dimension of the right half of the knitted work to be knitted by the knitting die 68 is, for example, 180 mm as in the above embodiment, then 180÷2.25=80, and the width on the magnetic sheet 129 is The outer type of formation type 68 is recorded in the 80th zone, which is the 80th zone counting from the "0" zone to the right.

In addition, since the knitting type 68 is symmetrical, the magnetic sheet 12
The external type of Formation Type 68 is also recorded in the 180 zone, which is the 80th zone counting to the left from the 9th "0" zone.

Reference numeral 130 denotes a bit scale provided on the vertical portion 23b of the scale base 23, and these scales sequentially correspond to the division portions of each zone located to the left and right with the "0" zone of the magnetic sheet 129 as a reference. and therefore each bit division 1
30 has a spacing of 2.251 m.

In addition, in FIG. 11, the magnetic sheet 129 is shown for convenience of explanation.
It is shown enlarged 4.5 times.

Next, refer to FIG. 12. In this second embodiment, the delay circuit 104 in the previous embodiment, which was interposed between the reset terminal R of the counter 103 and the photoelectric element 32, is omitted, and the output signal of the counter 103 is transmitted to the comparison circuit 123.
It is designed to be applied only to each second input terminal Ib of 124 degrees.

Reference numeral 131 denotes a photoelectric element such as a photovoltaic element of a sensor as a pulse generator (not shown) mounted on the traveling base 27 in the above embodiment, for example, above the sensor 29; An output pulse is generated as a bit signal every time the scale is sensed, and this bit signal is applied to the input terminal Ia of the reversible counter 132 as an input signal.

A direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 is applied to the direction input terminal Ib of this counter 132, and the counter 132 performs an addition operation when the direction signal is "1" and subtracts when the direction signal is "0". It is designed to take action.

Further, a central signal from the photoelectric element 32 is applied to the reset terminal R of the counter 132 via a delay circuit 133.

The output signal from the output terminal O of the counter 132 is applied to each input terminal Ia of the memory circuits 108 and 109 via gate circuits 106 and 107, respectively.

134 is a comparison and correction circuit used in place of the correction circuit 128 in the above embodiment, and its input terminals Ia and I
The output signal from the second output terminal ob of the husband memory circuits 108 and 109 is applied to the comparison input terminal Ic.
is given the output signal from the output terminal O of the counter 132, the center signal from the photoelectric element 32 is given as a correction command signal to the correction command terminal Id, and the direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 is given to the control terminal Ie. Further, the output signal from the first output terminal Oa is given to the correction input terminal 1b of the memory circuit 108, and the second output signal is given to the correction input terminal 1b of the memory circuit 108.
The output signal from the output terminal Ob is applied to the correction input terminal Ib of the memory circuit 109.

The comparison and correction circuit 134 then corrects the stored contents of the memory circuits 108 and 109, as will be described later, based on the applied signal.

135 and 136 are the first output terminals O of the arithmetic circuit 117
a and the input terminal I of the memory circuit 120, and 137 and 138 are connected to the second output terminal ob of the arithmetic circuit 117 and the memory circuit 12.
A memory circuit and a gate circuit are interposed in series with the input terminal 1 of 1, and these gate circuits 136 and 1
A carriage inversion signal from the OR circuit 101 is applied to each gate terminal G of 38 as a write signal via a write signal generation circuit 139.

Next, the operation of this second embodiment will be explained.

When the carriage 6 (see the above embodiment) is operated to move leftward or rightward, the counter 103 performs a subtraction or addition operation as in the above embodiment, and the counter 132
Similarly, the subtraction or addition operation is performed based on the bit signal from the photoelectric element 131.

Then, when the count content of the counter 132 reaches, for example, (80) due to the movement of the carriage 6 to the left, the reading head 79 encounters the outer mold of the knitting mold 68 and generates a mold signal, which causes the gate The signal is applied to the gate open signal generating circuit 111 via the circuit 110, and the gate open signal generating circuit 111 generates the gate open signal from the first output terminal Oa to open the gate circuit 106. The memory circuit 108 stores the count contents (80) of the counter 132 at that time.

The memory contents of this memory circuit 108 are immediately stored in the arithmetic circuit 1.
17 to be applied to the first input terminal Ia.

In this case, the arithmetic circuit 117 calculates the actual size of the knitted fabric, 120 pieces, to be knitted using 80 The needle numbers required for knitting are calculated and stored in the memory circuit 135.
to be memorized.

Similarly, when the count content of the counter 132 becomes (-SO), the reading head 79 generates a type signal, so the gate open signal generation circuit 111 outputs the second output terminal ob.
generates a gate open signal to open the -C gate circuit 107, the memory circuit 109 stores (-SO), and based on this, the arithmetic circuit 117 changes the memory circuit 1
37 stores (-60).

Thereafter, when the moving direction of the carriage 6 is reversed, the carriage reversal signal from the OR circuit 101 is sent to the gate circuit 136 as a write signal via the write signal generation circuit 139.
and the gate terminal G of 138. As a result, the memory contents of memory circuits 135 and 137 (6
0) and (-60) are stored in memory circuits 120 and 121, respectively.

The subsequent operations are similar to those in the previous embodiment. By the way, in this second embodiment, the magnetic sheet 129 has a width of 0.5 m.
A 3-bit signal can be recorded in i, and accordingly, a bit scale 130 having an extremely small interval of 2.25 mm is provided to improve accuracy. The difference in the time when the movement of the carriage 6 is reversed and the difference in the time from the inverter circuit 98 are due to the fact that the interval between the two is extremely small and the bit scale 130 is graduated in one row and read by a single sensor. Due to differences in the timing of change of the direction signal, etc., the count contents of the counter 132 will be incorrect even on the same bit scale 130.

For example, as shown in Figure 11 of the magnetic sheet 129,
Formation type 6 in the fourth 4 zone counting to the right from the 0'' zone
Assuming that the outer shape of 8 is stored, carriage 6
is moved to the right, the read head 79 generates a type signal after the count of the counter 132 reaches (4), and the stored content of the memory circuit 108 is normally changed to (4).
), but on the other hand, when reading the outer shape of the knitting mold 6B after the carriage 6 has been reversed from right to left, for example, the "7" scale of the bit scale 130 is read by the photoelectric element 131. Immediately after reading (the count content of the counter 132 at this time is (7)).

) If the direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 does not invert from "1" to "0" even though the carriage 6 is reversely moved from the right to the left, the photoelectric element 131 will display a scale of "7". When read again, the count content of the counter 132 becomes (8), and when the scale of "6" is read, the count content of the counter 132 becomes (8).
The count content becomes (9), and after reading the scale of "6", the direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 becomes "0".
”, the counter 132 begins to perform a subtraction operation for the first time, and when the photoelectric element 131 reads the scale of “5”, the count content of the counter 132 becomes (8), and immediately after this, the reading head 79 moves to the formation type 68. Since the outer mold of is read, for example, the stored content of the memory circuit 108 is (8).

In this way, even if the signals are recorded at the same position on the magnetic sheet 129, the stored contents of the memory circuit 108 will be distorted due to the timing shift at the time of change of the direction signal when the carriage 6 is reversed.

In such a case, in this second embodiment, the comparison correction circuit 1
34 as follows.

That is, in the above case, the photoelectric element 131 corresponds to the bit scale 130.
When the scale of "1" is read, the count content of the counter 132 becomes (4), but in reality, the count content of the counter 132 should be (0) if it operates normally.

Therefore, when the center signal of the photoelectric element 32 is applied to the control terminal ■, the comparison correction circuit 134 compares the counted content (4) of the counter 132 with the original counted content of the counter 132 against the stored content (8) of the memory circuit 108. A certain value (0) is compared, and (-4) is added to the memory content (8) of the memory circuit 108 to correct the memory content to become (4).

When the signal necessary for correction is input to the comparison correction circuit 134, the counter 132 is set to a reset state (0) by applying the center signal of the photoelectric element 32 to the reset terminal R via the delay circuit 133.

Incidentally, even when the carriage 6 is reversely moved from left to right, the comparison and correction circuit 134 performs the correction at the time when the center signal is generated from the photoelectric element 32 in substantially the same manner as described above.

13 to 15 show a third embodiment of the present invention,
Figures 7, 8, 10 and 1 in the above embodiments
The same parts as in FIG. 2 are indicated with the same reference numerals, and different parts will be explained below.

In this third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the outer shapes of the right halves of the symmetrical knitting shapes 66, 67 and 68 are recorded on the magnetic sheet 140, and the right shoulder parts 66C, 67C and 68c are recorded on the magnetic sheet 140. The left halves of the collar pricks 66a, 67a and 68a and the left shoulder parts 66b, 67b and 6
The outer mold of 8b is recorded so that it is symmetrical with the actual shape.

Then, on the magnetic sheet 140, for example, the knitting type 6
8, the right half of the collar prick 68a, the right shoulder 68c, the upper part of the right sleeve shaved part 68d, the left half of the collar part 68a, and the left shoulder 6
8b and the upper part of the left shaft part 68e.
The outer shape of the first row 140a and 140b of the part is recorded.
As shown in FIG. 14, a line corresponding to the outer shape is also recorded in the zone located in between, and this step 140a or 14
It is set so that a type signal is continuously generated when the reading head 79 scans 0b.

Next, refer to FIG. 15.

Unlike in FIG. 12, the input terminal Ia of the counter 132 is supplied with a synchronizing signal from the output terminal 0 of the synchronizing signal generating circuit 112, and the reset terminal R is supplied with the central signal of the reader 83 via the delay circuit 133. At the same time, the center signal from the reader 83 is applied to the correction command terminal Id of the comparison correction circuit 134.

141 is the comparison circuit 123, 124 in FIG.
This is a comparator circuit used instead of the first and second
Memory circuits 120 and 12 are connected to input terminals Ia and Ib of
The output signals from each output terminal 0 of the text box 1 and the second comparison input terminals Ic and Id are given.
The output signal from the output terminal O of the counter 103 is applied to the counter 103, and based on the applied signal, an output pulse, which is an output signal, is generated from the output terminal 0 as described later.

The output pulse from the output terminal O of this comparator circuit 141 is applied to the input terminal Ia of the one-pulse delay circuit 142, and the first pulse of the -pulse delay circuit 142
A needle position signal from an OR circuit 91 is applied to the control terminal Ib of the control terminal Ib.

The output pulse, which is the output signal from the output terminal O of the -pulse delay circuit 142, is applied to the trigger terminal Tl of the T-shaped flip-flop circuit 143, and is supplied from the set output terminal Q of the flip-flop circuit 143. The set output signal is applied to the excitation coil 2L21+c via the amplifier circuit 127.

Furthermore, the set output terminal Q of the flip-flop circuit 143
A set output signal from the pulse delay circuit 142 is applied to the second control terminal Ic of the -pulse delay circuit 142.

Here, when the signal "0" is applied to the second control terminal Ic, the -pulse delay circuit 142 operates at the input terminal Ic.
When a pulse is given to a, an output pulse is immediately generated from the output terminal O, but a signal "1" is sent to the second control terminal Ic.
When is given, a pulse is given to the input terminal ■β, and then when the needle position signal is given to the first control terminal Ib, an output pulse is generated from the output terminal O, so this one pulse delay The circuit 142 also has the same function as the -pulse delay circuit 126.

Now, 144 is a continuous pulse detection circuit, whose input terminal Ia is given a type signal from the gate circuit 110,
A carriage inversion signal from the OR circuit 101 is applied to the control input terminal Ib.

This continuous pulse detection circuit 144 has an input terminal I
It is designed to detect the state of a pulse, which is a type signal given to a, and when the pulse is sporadic, the first detection state is maintained, and when it becomes continuous, it becomes the second detection state, The second detection state is reset when a carriage inversion signal is applied to the control input terminal Ib, but an output signal is generated from the output terminal O only when the detection state before the reset is the second detection state. It is supposed to be done.

Reference numeral 145 denotes a comparison control circuit, whose input terminal (■) receives the output signal from the output terminal O of the continuous pulse generation circuit 144, generates a command signal from the output terminal 0, and transmits this command signal to the comparison circuit 141. The comparator circuit 141 is controlled by applying it to the control terminal Ie of the comparator circuit 141.

That is, if the comparator control circuit 145 does not receive an output signal at its input terminal (2) immediately after the formation starts, the comparator control circuit 145 receives the input contents of the input terminals Ie and Ic of the comparator circuit 141 or the inputs of the input terminals Ib and Id. When the numerical values match regardless of whether the contents are plus or minus signs, a first command signal is generated that generates an output pulse, which is an output signal, from the output terminal 0, and the first output signal is then given to the input terminal ■. In this case, the input content is a second one that produces an output pulse from output terminal 0 when the numbers match with both having positive signs.
When a command signal is generated and a second output signal is given to input terminal ■, an output pulse is generated from output terminal O when one of the input contents has a negative sign and the values match. A third command signal is generated.

The operation of the third embodiment having the above structure will now be explained.

For example, if a knitting operation is to be performed on the knitting pattern 68 whose right half has an actual size of 180 mm as in the above embodiment, when the carriage 6 (see the above embodiment) is moved to the left or right, the counter 103 performs the subtraction or addition operation as described above, and the synchronization signal generation circuit 11
2, a synchronization signal corresponding to the synchronization scale 77 is generated, whereby the counter 132 also performs a subtraction or addition operation.

Normally, only the outer shape of the right half of the knitting mold 68 is stored on the magnetic sheet 140, so the reading head 19
is to the right (positive side) of the rOJ zone of the magnetic sheet 140
When the outer mold is scanned, one mold signal is generated by reading the outer mold, and even when this signal is applied to the continuous pulse detection circuit 144, the continuous pulse detection circuit 144 maintains the first detection state and The signal is given to the gate open signal generation circuit 111, and based on this, the stored content of the memory circuit 108 becomes, for example, (+40).

Thereafter, when the carriage 6 is moved in reverse, the continuous pulse detection circuit 144 is reset by being given a carriage inversion signal from the OR circuit 101 at the time of the inversion, but no output signal is generated from its output terminal O, and therefore, the comparison control A first command signal is generated from the output terminal O of the circuit 145 and is applied to the control terminal ■ of the comparison circuit 141.

On the other hand, the carriage inversion signal from the OR circuit 101 is given to the control terminal Id of the arithmetic circuit 117 as an arithmetic command signal via the arithmetic command circuit 120', so that the arithmetic circuit 117 stores l-+60 j in the memory circuit 120. let

The comparator circuit 141 calculates the counter value applied to the first comparison input terminal Ic with respect to the memory content (+60) applied to the first input terminal Ia by applying the first command signal to the control terminal Ie. When the count content of the counter 103 becomes (+60), for example, an output pulse is generated from the output terminal O, and then when the count content of the counter 103 becomes (-60), an output pulse is generated from the output terminal O.

The first output pulse from the output terminal O of this comparator circuit 141 is given to the trigger terminal T of the flip-flop circuit 143 via the -pulse delay circuit 142, so its set output signal becomes "1", which causes the exciting coil 2
1.21 is energized.

Thereafter, two output pulses from the comparator circuit 141 are applied to the input terminal Ia of the -pulse delay circuit 142, and then a needle position signal is applied to the first control terminal Ib. When the output pulse is applied, the set output becomes "0" and the excitation coils 21, 21 are cut off.

As a result, the knitting needles 3 between needle numbers 1'-+60J and [-6OJ (see the above embodiment) are selectively moved to the second selection position.

Thereafter, the read head 79 moves to the step 14 on the magnetic sheet 140.
When scanning 0a, the gate circuit 110 continuously generates an output pulse as a type signal, so the continuous pulse detection circuit 144 that detects this goes into the second detection state, and the memory circuit 108 has the first type signal. The contents of the counter 132 corresponding to the signal are stored, and the contents of the counter 132 corresponding to the last type signal are stored in the memory circuit 109.

Thereafter, when the carriage 6 is reversed, the continuous pulse detection circuit 144 is reset by the carriage reversal signal and begins to generate an output signal from its output terminal O, and the comparison control circuit 145 outputs a second command signal. It is applied to the control terminal Ie of the comparison circuit 141.

Then, the arithmetic circuit 117 performs an arithmetic operation based on the arithmetic command signal, and stores the results in the memory circuits 120 and 121 as (+1) and (+10), for example.

As a result, the comparator circuit 141 to which the second command signal is applied to the control terminal Ie is configured such that the content of the input terminal Ic is, for example (
When the content of the input terminal Id becomes (+1), the first output pulse is generated from the output terminal 0, and when the content of the input terminal Id becomes (+10), two pulses are generated.

Thereafter, the comparison control circuit 145 continues to generate the second command signal, so that the right half of the collar part 68a, the right shoulder part 68c, and the upper part of the right shaft part 68d of the knitting pattern 68 are knitted. .

Thereafter, the read head 79 moves to the step 14 on the magnetic sheet 140.
0b starts to be scanned, the gate circuit 110 generates an output pulse as a second continuous type signal, the continuous pulse detection circuit 144 enters the second detection state again, and the carriage inversion signal is output. When is given, an output signal is generated from the output terminal O, and the comparison control circuit 145
comes to give a third command signal to the comparator circuit 141.

On the other hand, the arithmetic circuit 117 performs calculations in the same manner as described above and stores the memory circuits 120 and 121, for example, (+1) and (+10).
) will be memorized.

Thus, the comparator circuit 141 determines that the content of the input terminal Ic is (-
1), the first output pulse is generated, and when the input terminal 1d becomes (-10), two output pulses are generated.

After that, the comparison control circuit 145 continues to generate the third command signal, so that the collar stitch 68a of the knitting pattern 68
the left half of

The upper part of the left shoulder part 68b and left sleeve part 68e is knitted.

In the above case, it goes without saying that the comparison circuit 141 does not generate an output pulse when the input contents to be compared are (0) and (0). When creating a paper pattern using the above method, the printing paper 44 is folded in half and a piece of carbon paper or the like is sandwiched between the two to form dots.

Thus, the creation of the paper pattern for the printing paper 44 is completed at the time when the knitting of the right half of the collar peg 68a is completed.

16 to 19 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention,
The same parts as in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, FIG. 10, FIG. 12, and FIG. 15 are indicated by the same reference numerals, and the parts will be described below.

It is set so that .5X20=90mm.

Furthermore, the centerline portion of the carriage 6 is directly connected to a portion of the running belt 42 via a connector 148, and the running base 27 as shown in FIG. 2 is omitted.

149 is a preset command circuit provided in place of the preset command circuit 105 in FIG. Further, when a left position signal is given from the mounting position detector 95, the counter 103 is preset to the content of (-144).

Also, this counter 103 is designed to substantially skip (0), and for example, in the case of an addition operation, (-2), (
-1).

Count as (1), etc., and (2) in case of subtraction operation.

Count (1), (-1), etc.

150 is an inversion correction circuit, the direction signal from the inverter circuit 98 is given to its input terminal (3), and the output terminal 0
The output signal from the counter 103 is applied to the control terminal Ic of the counter 103.

The reversal correction circuit 150 operates when the movement of the carriage 6 is reversed from right to left, that is, when the direction signal is (1
) to (0), the contents of the counter 103 change to (
When the movement of the carriage 6 is reversed from left to right, that is, when the direction signal is reversed from (0) to (1), (-40) is added to the contents of the counter 103. It has become.

Reference numeral 151 is a number key used in place of the number key 119 in the above embodiment, and it is possible to give row information in addition to width information based on the stitch gauge obtained by trial knitting. .

Then, the width information by this numeric key 151 is stored in the storage device 1.
What is applied to the input terminal (2) of 18 is the same as in the previous embodiment, but the stage information is applied to the input terminal (2) of another storage device 152.

This storage device 152 stores the vertical size of knitting stitches per row based on given row information, that is, the number of stitches per fixed length or the number of lengths per fixed stitch length.

153 is an arithmetic circuit for stage advance (including memory circuit)
The storage contents from the output terminal O of the storage device 152 are applied to the input terminal Ia, and the carriage inversion signal from the OR circuit 101 is applied to the control terminal Ib.

This arithmetic circuit 153 adds the numerical value representative of the vertical size of the knitting stitch, which is the stored content from the storage device 152, for each row of knitting based on the carriage inversion signal, and calculates this value at a preset fixed row feed pitch. An output pulse is generated from output terminal 0 every time the stage value of is reached.
The output pulse from the output terminal O is applied to the exciting coil 65 via the ratchet drive circuit 114.

In this fourth embodiment, the disc-shaped continuously variable transmission 63 as shown in FIG. 4 is not provided, and the excitation coil 65 is not provided.
Once the power is turned on and off, the magnetic sheet 51 is fed in stages at a constant feeding pitch.

The operation of the fourth embodiment having the above configuration will now be explained.

For example, when the carriage 6 is installed from the right end of the needle bed 2, a right position signal is generated from the right side installation position detector 94, and the counter 103 is preset to (-)-144) via the preset command circuit 149. Ru.

Then, the carriage 6 is moved to the left and the sensors 30 and 31 begin to sense the needle position scales 146 and 147, and the photoelectric elements 33 and 34 sequentially generate needle position signals, and the counter 103 returns to (144). , (143), (14
2).

. . . starts to perform subtraction operation, and then sensor 3
1 is the needle position scale 14 corresponding to the knitting needle 3 with needle number "80"
7 is detected, the butt 4 of the knitting needle 3 with the needle number 1"-100J becomes the needle selection position by the electromagnet 14 on the right side of the carriage 6, and the content of the counter 103 at that time is (100).
becomes.

After that, consider the case where the carriage 6 is moved to the left and reversed from the desired position to the right. At the time of this reversal, the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the right side of the carriage 6 is set to the needle number 1', for example. Assuming that 60J knitting needle 3 is located,
The center point of the carriage 6 corresponds to the knitting needle 3 with the needle number "-80j", and the knitting needles 3 with the needle numbers 1--100J are located at the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the left side of the carriage 6, and the counter 103 at this time The content of is (-60).

Then, when the carriage 6 is reversed from the left to the right, the reversal correction circuit 149 adds (-40) to the counter 103, and the content becomes (-100).

After that, when the carriage 6 is moved to the right, the counter 1
03 yells at the ship to perform a subtraction operation, and its contents are (-
100).

(-99), (-98), ..., and the needle number "-60" is placed at the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the left side of the carriage 6.
When the J knitting needle 3 is positioned, the contents of the counter 103 are (-
60).

Therefore, even if the sensors 30 and 31 are attached to the carriage 6 and moved together, the needle number of the knitting needles 3 selected by the electromagnets 14 and 14 may deviate from the content of the counter 103, that is, the needle number. Never.

Next, the magnetic sheet 5 based on the calculation circuit 153 for stage feeding.
The first stage feeding operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 19.

Here, on the magnetic sheet 51, as shown in FIG. 19, the outer shape of the knitting type is recorded in stages in each zone, and for convenience of explanation, each stage is marked with "1".

They are indicated with numbers "2", . . . .

Then, one stage of the magnetic sheet 51 is set to 1 mm, and the magnetic sheet 51 is turned on and off by controlling the excitation coil 65 once.
The printing paper 4 is set to be fed at a feed pitch of mm, and is therefore used to create a full-size paper pattern.
4 will be fed in stages at a feed pitch of 3rn7ft.

If the row information based on the stitch gauge obtained by the trial knitting is, for example, 60 rows, 144 dragons, this is stored in the storage device 152 via the numeric key 151, and this stored content is sent to the arithmetic circuit 153. Given.

The arithmetic circuit 153 calculates from the row information of the 60 rows 1441n7rL that the stitch length of one row is 2.4 nm, and from this calculates that the stitch length of one row on the magnetic sheet 51 is 0.8 nm, and sends a carriage reversal signal. The following operations are performed each time .

The magnetic head 79 (see FIG. 3) is set to scan the center line of each stage on the magnetic sheet 51.

Further, the arithmetic circuit 153 outputs an output terminal 0 if the arithmetic result is plus (1) or zero (0).

It is set so that an output pulse is generated from a negative value, and no output pulse is generated when the value is negative (c).

The calculation operation of the calculation circuit 153 will be described below.

First, the stitch points when the first knitting was performed by the row numbered "1" are shown on the magnetic sheet 51. - Case X1
Based on the carriage reversal signal,
Since the stitch length increased in the next second knitting is 0.8 mm, it is calculated as 0.8-1--0.2, and since feeding one step would be too much, an output pulse is generated. do not.

Therefore, the second knitting is also performed using the row numbered "1", and the stitch point is increased by 0.8 mvt to X2.

For the next third knitting, based on the carriage reversal signal, the stitch length increased by 0.8 due to the second knitting.
mm and the stitch length increases by 0.8 m by the next third knitting
Considering m, calculate 0.8 +0.8-1-+0.6, and since the length of the vertical stitch in the actual knitting is longer than the step feed length, an output pulse is generated and the step feed is performed. have them do it.

Therefore, the third knitting is performed using the row numbered "2", and the stitch point is X3.

Regarding the fourth knitting, the difference in the actual stitch length from the step feed length caused by the step feeding in the third knitting is 0.6, and the stitch length increased by the fourth knitting is 0.8. m
Taking into account m, the calculation is calculated as 0.6+0.8-1-+0.4, one step feed is performed, and the fourth knitting is performed using the No. 3 step, resulting in stitch point X4.

Similarly, for the 5th formation, 0.4+0.8-1
- +0.2, and then performs one more stage feed to "4".
The 5th knitting is performed by the row of "No.", and the stitch point is X5.
And, for the 6th formation, 0.2
+0.8-1-O is calculated, and at this time, one stage is also fed, and the sixth formation is performed using the numbered "5" stage,
The stitch point is X6.

Thereafter, similar operations are repeated to knit a knitted work similar to the knitting pattern recorded on the magnetic sheet 51.

FIG. 20 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in which a magnetic sheet 51' is used in place of the magnetic sheet 51 in the fourth embodiment, and an arithmetic circuit 153 shown in FIG.
This is a slightly modified version of the calculation operation.

Hereinafter, only the differences from the fourth embodiment will be explained.

That is, on the magnetic sheet 51', as shown in FIG. 20, the outer shape of the knitting type is recorded in stages in each zone, and for convenience of explanation, for example, Ill, "2J, . . . Shown with numbers.

Then, one stage of the magnetic sheet 51' is set to be 0.5 van, and the magnetic sheet 51' is set to be fed in stages at a feeding pitch of 0.5 van by one-time energization/disconnection control of the excitation coil 65. The paper 44 is fed in steps at a feeding pitch of 1.5 steps.

In addition, the arithmetic circuit 153 uses 0.5 as a reference value, and when the result of one operation is plus (1) or zero (0), it generates one output pulse to advance once, and then to advance twice. If the calculation result is positive or zero, two output pulses are generated and the step is moved twice, and if the calculation result is negative (c), no output pulse is generated and the step is not moved. It looks like it's happening.

The calculation operation of the calculation circuit 153 will be described below.

The stitch point of the first knitting with the row numbered "1" is Yl
If this is the case, at the time of the second knitting, based on the carriage reversal signal, calculate 0.8-0.5=+0.3, and the actual stitch length will be shorter than the step feed length, thereby increasing the stitch length by one step. Therefore, the second formation is "2".
The stitch point is ¥2.

At the time of the next third knitting, considering the difference of 0.3 in the actual stitch length from the step feed length due to the step feed during the second knitting, 0.3 + 0.8 - 0.5 =+0.6
, 0.6-0.5-+0.1, and the row feeding is performed twice. Therefore, the third knitting is performed using the row numbered "4", and the stitch point becomes Y3.

Thereafter, by similar operations, a knitted work similar to the knitting pattern recorded on the magnetic sheet 51' is knitted.

FIG. 21 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention, and the same parts as in FIG. 18 in the fourth embodiment are shown with the same reference numerals, and different parts will be explained below.

In this sixth embodiment, the first
An inversion correction circuit 150 as shown in FIG. 8 is not provided, so the counter 103 does not have a control terminal Ic.

Further, a preset command circuit 154 is provided in place of the preset command circuit 149 in FIG. 18, and the device position detector 94 is connected to the right input terminal Ia and the left input terminal Ib.
The right position signal and the left position signal from the counter 103 and 95 are respectively given, and the output signals of the right side output terminal Oa and the left side output terminal ob are given to the right side preset terminal Pa and the left side preset terminal Pb of the counter 103, respectively. It is now possible to

This preset command circuit 154 presets the contents of (+124) in the counter 103 when the right position signal is given from the right mounting position detector 94, and the left position signal is given from the left mounting position detector 95. The contents of (7124) are preset in the counter 103.

155 is, for example, 21 storage elements 1551, 155□,
...15521, whose information input terminal It is given a set output signal from the set output terminal Q of the flip-flop circuit 125, and the output signal from the output terminal 0 is excited via the amplifier circuit 127. coil 21.21 and each storage element 1551, 155□.

. . . The needle position signal from the OR circuit 91 is applied to the shift pulse input terminal of 155□1 via the delay circuit 156.

The operation of the sixth embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 17 of the fourth embodiment.
The set output signal of the flip-flop circuit 125 is (0)
When , each storage element 156 . of the shift register 156 . ，
The contents of 156□, . . . 1562□ are both (0), and therefore the output signal from their output terminal 0 is (0).

For example, if the carriage 6 is mounted on the needle bed 2 from the right end, the right mounting position detector 94 detects this and generates a right position signal, which causes the counter 10
3 via the preset command circuit 154 (+124)
The contents of are preset.

Then, when the carriage 6 is moved to the left and the sensors 30 and 31 detect the needle position scales 146 and 147 and the photoelectric elements 33 and 34 generate needle position signals, the counter 1
03 corresponds to (124), (123), (122
).

Perform the subtraction operation as follows.

When the carriage 6 is moved to the left in this way, the needle position signal from the OR circuit 91 is output to the counter 1.
03 and its content becomes (60), and at this time, for example, the comparator circuit 124 inputs the input terminal Ia.

Assuming that the contents of Ib match (60) and (60),
An output pulse is generated from the comparator circuit 124 and applied to the set input terminal S of the flip-flop circuit 125, so the flip-flop circuit 125 is inverted and the set output signal at its set output terminal Q becomes (1). This is applied to the information input terminal (3) of the shift register 155.

At this time, the center line of the carriage 6, that is, the sensor 3
1 corresponds to the knitting needle 3 with the needle number "60", but the knitting needle 3 with the needle number "80" corresponds to the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the right side which performs the needle selection action of the carriage 6. There is a difference from the contents of the counter 103 by 20 knitting needles 3.

On the other hand, a needle position signal (hereinafter referred to as a starting needle position signal for convenience) from the OR circuit 91 with the content of the counter 103 being (60) is transmitted through a delay circuit 156 to the first significant elements 155□ to 155□ of the shift register 155. 1 to the first stage storage element 155.1. is (1)
Therefore, the contents of the shift register 155 are (1)
, (0) ,...(0).

Note that the delay circuit 156 starts the flip-flop circuit 125 after the starting needle position signal is applied to the counter 103.
The application of the starting hand position signal to the shift register 155 is delayed until the pointer generates the set output signal (1).

Thereafter, when the needle position signal is sequentially generated from the OR circuit 91 due to the movement of the carriage 6, the contents of the first stage storage element 155□ of the shift register 155 are sequentially transferred to the next stage storage element 1.
55□ to 1552□, and when 20 further needle position signals are generated after the activation needle position signal is generated, the contents of storage elements 1551 to 15521 all become (1), and the output terminal of the shift register 155 The output signal of 0 is (1
), and at this time, the knitting needle 3 with needle number "60" is located at the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the right side of the carriage 6.

Then, the output signal (1) of the shift register 155 is applied to the excitation coil 21.21 via the amplifier circuit 127, so that the knitting needle 3 with the needle number "60" is selected to the second selection position.

After that, since the signal (1) is given to the information input terminal I of the shift register 155, its output terminal 0
The output signal from the carriage 6 continues to be (1).
The needle selection action by the electromagnet 14 on the right side continues.

Further, the carriage 6 is moved to the left, and the content of the counter 103 becomes (-60) due to the needle position signal from the OR circuit 91, and at this time, the content of the counter 103 becomes (-60).
The contents of a and Ib become (-60) and (760), and an output pulse is generated from the output terminal O, and then the counter 10
3 is given a needle position signal (hereinafter referred to as stop needle position pulse for convenience) from the OR circuit 91, and its content is (-61).
Then, this stop needle position signal is -pulse delay circuit 12
An output pulse is generated from the output terminal O of the -pulse delay circuit 126 and is applied to the reset input terminal R of the flip-flop circuit 125.

As a result, the flip-flop circuit 125 is inverted to the reset state, and the set output signal from its set output terminal Q becomes (0).

On the other hand, the stop needle position signal from the OR circuit 91 is transmitted to the delay circuit 1.
56 to each storage element 155 of the shift register 155
．． Since it is given to 155□1, the first stage memory element 1
551 becomes (0).

Thereafter, each time the needle position signal from the OR circuit 91 is applied, the contents (0) of the first stage storage element 1551 of the shift register 155 are sequentially changed to the next stage storage elements 1552 to 155 □
1 and further 20 after the stop needle position signal occurs.
When these needle position signals are generated, the memory elements 155□ to 155□1 of the shift register 155 all become (0), and the output signal from the output terminal O also becomes (0), and the excitation coil 2L21 is cut off. Ru.

At this time, the knitting needle 3 with needle number "61" is located at the needle selection position of the electromagnet 14 on the right side of the carriage 6.
This knitting needle 3 is not selected to the second position.

Therefore, the knitting needles 3 with needle numbers "60" to "-60J" are selected to the second selection position.

Note that the operation when the carriage 6 is moved to the right is the same as described above.

FIG. 22 shows a seventh embodiment of the present invention, and in FIG. 22, only the parts that are different from FIG. 21, which is the sixth embodiment, are extracted and shown.

That is, the output pulse from the output terminal O of the -pulse delay circuit 126 is given as one input signal of the OR circuit 157, and the output pulse from the output terminal O of the comparison circuit 124 is given as the other input signal of the OR circuit 157. The output signal of the OR circuit 157 is applied to the information input terminal (2) of the shift register 155.

Then, rl from the output terminal O of the shift register 155
The output signals of J and rOJ are applied to the trigger terminal T of a T-shaped flip-flop circuit 159 via a differentiating circuit 158, and the output signals of the flip-flop circuit 1
The set output signal from the set output terminal Q of 59 is applied to the excitation coil 2L21 via the amplifier circuit 127.

The operation of the seventh embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. 21 of the sixth embodiment.

As in the sixth embodiment, when the starting hand position signal is applied to the counter 103 and its content becomes (60), and an output pulse is generated from the comparison circuit 124, this is sent to the shift register 155 via the OR circuit 157. Information input terminal ■
At the same time, the activation needle position signal is applied to each storage element 155 to 155□1 via a delay circuit 156, so that the first stage storage element 1
55 becomes (1).

After that, no output pulse is generated from the OR circuit 157, so the signal at the information input terminal ■ of the shift register 155 is (0
), therefore, each time a needle position signal is given, the content (1) of the first-stage storage element 155□ is sequentially transferred to the next-stage storage elements 155□ to 155□1, and in this case, the content (1) ) All storage elements other than ) indicate the contents of (0).

Then, after the start needle position signal is given to each storage element 155□ to 155□1 of the shift register 155, 20
When needle position signals are given, the final stage memory element 15
5°1 is inverted from (0) to (1), and the output signal at the output terminal O of the shift register 155 changes from (0) to (1), which generates a positive pulse from the differentiating circuit 158 and outputs the flip-flop. The set output signal of the set output terminal Q is given to the trigger terminal T of the 7-block circuit 159 (1)
This is passed through the amplifier circuit 127 to the excitation coil 2L.
Given to 21.

Note that each storage element 155□ to 1 of the shift register 155
When another needle position signal is subsequently given to 552□, the contents of the final stage storage element 1552□ change from (1) to (0
), the output signal from the output terminal 0 changes from (1) to (0), and at this time, a negative pulse is generated from the differentiating circuit 158, but this negative pulse is sent to the flip-flop circuit 1.
Do not trigger 59.

After that, similarly to the sixth embodiment, -pulse delay circuit 1
When the stop needle position signal is given to the control terminal Ib of 26,
An output pulse is generated from the output terminal O of the -pulse delay circuit 126 and sent to the shift register 155 via the OR circuit 157.
As described above, 20 needle position signals are then given to each memory element 1551 to 155□1, and the output signal from output signal O becomes O.
1, and a positive pulse is generated from the differentiating circuit 158 and applied to the trigger terminal T of the flip-flop circuit 159.

Therefore, the set output signal of the flip-flop circuit 159 becomes (0), and the excitation coils 21 and 21 are cut off.

In the above embodiment, the display device 122 displays the needle number corresponding to the outermost knitting needle of the group of knitting needles necessary for knitting, but the present invention is not limited to this. Needle numbers corresponding to adjacent outer knitting needles may be displayed to indicate knitting needles that are unnecessary for knitting.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the electromagnet 14 moves the knitting needles necessary for knitting to the second selection position, and leaves the other knitting needles at the first selection position to create a positional difference, thereby causing the electromagnet 14 to move. Although it is designed to function as a kind of display device, for example, needle selection pieces may be provided on each knitting needle in a one-to-one relationship to cause the same positional difference as described above.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, knitting patterns of different sizes, such as the front body part, are recorded on one magnetic sheet, but the present invention is not limited to this, and knitting patterns of different shapes, such as the back body part or sleeves, can be recorded. Of course, it is also possible to do so.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and may be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit, such as using a card instead of a magnetic sheet as the recording medium. Of course, it can also be implemented.

According to the present invention described above, the number of stitches required for knitting the knitting width of each part of the knitting pattern can be calculated extremely quickly and accurately using an electrical calculation circuit, and therefore, The knitting width can be automatically specified by an extremely simple operation of simply storing information based on the stitch gauge using a number key or the like.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to create a full-size paper pattern using printed paper at the same time as knitting the knitted work, so that after the knitted fabric, that is, the knitted work, has been knitted, ironing can be performed to adjust the condition of the knitted fabric. In order to form the shape, it is possible to iron the knitted work very easily and accurately by using the full-sized paper pattern made of the above-mentioned printed paper and applying the knitting work to it.In this case, when knitting the knitted work, Since a pattern is created separately each time, the printing medium is not affected in any way, unlike when the printing medium is used as a printing pattern for ironing, for example.
