Description

Fiber optic display system {Glass fiber display system}

The present invention relates to an optical fiber display system that enables the display using the optical fiber by automatically infiltrating the optical fiber on the fabric.

After the optical fiber is planted on a fabric made of natural fiber or synthetic fiber such as cotton or leather, the optical fiber is transferred to the optical fiber to produce various effects, and is mainly applied to clothes, bags, and hats.

This is because the fiber is implanted into the fabric by using the optical fiber to transmit the light and then emits light, so that the fabric can emit light and produce various patterns and letters.

To this end, it is important to infiltrate the fabric or pattern to express the optical fiber on the fabric, but conventionally, fibers are infiltrated into the fabric by hand.

Manually infiltrating an optical fiber can be a very difficult task because it takes a long time and also requires that the fiber is in a thin fabric.

The present invention is to automatically infiltrate the fiber to the fabric to solve the difficulties caused by fiber infiltration, and to produce a fabric in which the fiber is infiltrated in a short time.

The present invention is a coating process for coating rubber on the back side of the fabric, a programming process for dividing the design to be expressed by the block and programming, and the optical fiber infiltrated by the block divided in the programming process to the fabric process Fiber fiber knitting process to bundle bundles, cutting and coating process to cut the fabric with fiber optical fiber to the processing area and UV coating the surface, and attaching the connector to the end of the fiber bundle and attaching the endothelial to the back This is done by manufacturing a PCB to drive the divided blocks in the programming process and performing a bonding process to couple the LEDs connected to the PCB to the connectors.

The present invention is the majority of the process is automated it is possible to produce a large amount of products in a short time.

The present invention divides the picture to be expressed as an optical fiber on the fabric and infiltrates the optical fiber on the fabric, and then separates the optical fibers by blocks and connects the LEDs of the PCB so that the optical fiber infiltrated on the fabric is illuminated by the LED light that is revealed by the PCB control. It is to be able to express various patterns or letters by optical fiber light.

The system of the present invention will be described based on the system configuration of FIG.

Prepare a basic drawing (1), such as a picture or a character, to be expressed as optical fibers in clothing, bags, hats, etc., and divide the block according to the block and order to express the basic design (1) in the design division (2).

Here, the division of the pattern is divided in consideration of the emission range, the light emission, the order of emission, and it is determined how many optical fibers are to be sedimented for each divided block, and the PC programming (3) is performed according to the divided state.

The PC programming (3) determines the lighting sequence, the lighting color, and the fiber position of the light emitting diode according to the design specification of the drawing, and the optical fiber stitching portion (7) and the PCB manufacturing portion (4) are programmed as programmed in the PC programming (3). The fiber is fabricated and the PCB is manufactured.

And prepare a fabric (5), which is a natural fiber or chemical fiber, such as cloth or leather to be optical fiber, and supplying the fabric (5) to the fabric coating portion (6) to apply a rubber adhesive on the back of the fabric (5) Allow coating.

The reason why the rubber adhesive is coated on the back side of the fabric 5 is that the optical fiber is held on the top of the fabric 5, and then the optical fiber is held by the adhesive even when the upper part of the optical fiber is cut to the fabric 5 surface. This is to maintain the state of being infiltrated in the fabric (5).

The fabric 5 coated with a rubber adhesive on the back side is supplied to the fiber optic fiber 7 to infiltrate a predetermined number of optical fibers from the top of the fabric 5 to the bottom as defined in the PC programming (3). After cutting the upper part of the optical fiber by a certain length, cut the upper part, and bundle the lower part of the optical fiber by block to make an optical fiber bundle.

Passing through the optical fiber stitching portion (7) is completed fiber infiltration and the fiber is sedimented by block is bound to the bundle of optical fibers on the back of the fabric (5).

The fabric 5 in which the optical fiber is infiltrated is supplied to the fabric cutting unit 8 to be cut as much as the processing width, and the cut fabric is supplied to the UV coating unit 9 to UV coat the fabric surface.

The reason why the surface of the fabric 5 is UV coated is to prevent the fiber optically infiltrated into the fabric 5 from falling out.

The front end of the optical fiber bundle, which is infiltrated into the fabric 5 and bound by blocks, connects the connector into which the light emitting diode is fitted, and the optical fiber is placed on the back of the fabric 5 through the connector coupling part 10 in a horizontal state with the fabric 5. After laying down, heat-bond the endothelial to pass through the endothelial adhesive portion 11 so that the optical fiber is fixed between the fabric 5 and the endothelial.

After passing through the endothelial adhesive portion 11, the connector protrudes toward the side of the fabric 5, and the optical fiber is fixed between the fabric 5 and the endothelium, and the optical fiber tip is infiltrated on the fabric 5.

Meanwhile, the manufacturing unit 4 of the PCB product manufactures a PCB for lighting the optical fiber according to PC programming (3), and the light emitting diode for optical fiber light emitting diode is connected to the PCB, and the light emitting diode emits light in a predetermined order. Mount on the PCB.

After the PCB is fixed in the appropriate place, the light emitting diode is inserted into the connector of the fabric (5) through the endothelial adhesive portion (11).

In this case, the light emitting diode to be inserted into the connector must be inserted in a predetermined order so that the optical fiber can emit light in a desired shape.

This invention will be described based on the system schematic of FIG. 2.

The design (1) to prepare the expression is prepared and divided by the expression block, order, color, the number of optical fibers to divide the design in the design division (2).

The finer the division of the design (1), the clearer the patterns and letters expressed.

The divided design is converted into a program in the PC programming (3) and applied to the optical fiber integrator 70 and the PCB 40 so that the optical fiber can be sedimented block by block in the divided state, while the optical fibers for each block are divided in the order of division. It is possible to manufacture the PCB 40 to be driven.

On the back side of the fabric 5 to which the optical fiber is infiltrated, after coating the adhesive 51 of rubber material, the fabric 5 coated with the adhesive 51 can be continuously supplied in a roll form, and the fabric supplied from the roll 5 allows the continuous operation by the roller 9 to be transported.

Continuously supplied fabric 5 is supplied to the weaving machine 70 to infiltrate the optical fiber 15 to the fabric (5).

The machine 70 is fixed to the Z-axis transfer unit 72 to the X, Y orthogonal robot 71 with a fixing bracket 73, the needle 74 in the Z-axis direction in accordance with the operation of the Z-axis transfer unit 72. ) Is transferred, and the pushing roller 76 is rotated by the step motor 75 to lower the optical fiber 15 into the hollow formed in the needle 74 to infiltrate the optical fiber 15 on the fabric 5.

That is, the machine 70 finds the desired XY coordinates by the known XY orthogonal robot 71 as shown in FIG. 3, and when the Z axis transfer unit 72 is operated, the needle 74 is lowered to dispose the fabric 5. In this state, the needle 74 is twisted, and in this state, the pushing roller 76 is rotated by the step motor 75 to lower the optical fiber 15 by a predetermined length, and then the needle 74 is moved by the Z-axis feeder 72. To increase.

When the needle 74 is raised, the cutter 77, which was opened when the needle 74 is lowered, is cut to fit the front end of the optical fiber 15 to the surface of the fabric 5.

Here, the line divider 81 driven by the servo actuator 80 is installed in the lower part of the far end 5, and the binding machine 82 is provided in the lower part thereof.

Then, while holding the desired position with the X, Y orthogonal robot (71), while operating the Z-axis transfer unit 72 in the state of supporting the lower end of the fabric (5) with the line divider 81, penetrates the fabric (5) with the needle 74 After the push roller 76 is operated to push the optical fiber 15 through the hollow of the needle 74, and in this state, the needle 74 is moved upward by the Z-axis transfer part 72, and then the cutter 77 The upper portion of the optical fiber 15 is cut.

At this time, the optical fiber 15 is fixed to the adhesive 51 on the back surface of the fabric 5 so as not to fall into the fabric 5 bottom.

By repeating the above process, when the fiber 15 is completed for the predetermined block, the line divider 81 is lowered to the servo actuator 80 to remove the optical fiber 15 and then moved to the next place. 82 is used to bundle the optical fiber 15 into the optical fiber bundle 15 'and the binding machine 82 uses a commercially available machine.

The process is a process of infiltrating the optical fiber 15 for one block, and this process is performed according to the block number, and the fiber bundle 15 'such as the block number is infiltrated.

When the optical fiber 15 is infiltrated into the fabric 5 in the spinning machine 70, it is transferred to the roller 9 and cut by the amount of use using the blade 85.

Cutting of the fabric 5 is cut by the amount of clothes, bags, hats used, the fabric 5 cut by the blade 85 is UV-coated the surface by a UV coating machine 90, a known device.

The reason why the UV coating on the surface of the fabric 5 is to prevent the optical fiber 15 that is infiltrated into the fabric 5 to be easily separated.

The fiber bundle 15 ', which is infiltrated into the UV coated fabric 5, is cut to the length, and the connector 91 is inserted at the tip, and then inserted into the connector compressor 92 and compressed to connect the connector (15') to the fiber bundle 15 '. 91).

The connector 91 is fitted to each optical fiber bundle 15 'and when the optical fiber bundle 15' is brought into close contact with the back surface of the fabric 5, the connector 91 fits to the length protruding to the side of the fabric 5. It is advantageous.

When the connection of the connector 91 is completed, the fabric 5 is turned upside down and the endothelial 95 coated with the adhesive is applied to the back side of the fabric 5, that is, the optical fiber 15 is placed, and pressurized to an appropriate pressure while applying heat to the endothelial ( 95 to fix the optical fiber 15 between the fabric (5) and the endothelium (95).

At this time, the connector 91 is located outside the fabric (5).

Meanwhile, a PCB 40 for displaying a design according to the program of the PC programming 3 is manufactured.

Here, the PCB 40 is equipped with a controller for lighting the optical fiber for each desired block, the light emitting diode 41 according to the number of the connector 91 is connected, the switch 42 to turn on / off the operation is connected.

The light emitting diodes 41 may be flexibly bent when they are bent at a certain distance from the PCB 40.

When the light emitting diode 41 is inserted into the connector 91 and the PCB 40 is fixed to one side of the product, the product is completed. For example, if the fabric 5 is for the back of the garment, it is placed on the side or the pocket side. After fixing the PCB 40 and inserting the light emitting diode 41 into the connector 91, the switch 42 may be fixed to a position that can be operated in the pocket.

In the present invention, the connection portion of the connector 91 and the light emitting diode 41 and the PCB 40 and the switch 42 are manufactured by paying attention to waterproofing, and the PCB 40 is detachably detachable from the battery 43. It should be possible.

When the switch 42 is turned on while wearing the clothes manufactured as described above, the light emitted from the front end of the optical fiber 15 may be designed by lighting the light emitting diodes 41 in the controller in the order of predetermined blocks.

That is, as the neon sign made of the optical fiber 15 is formed on the back of the clothes, it is possible to express various patterns and letters, and the modern people who value individuality will enjoy it.

According to the present invention, fabrics fabricated by the optical fiber are manufactured according to an automated process, and thus, the fabrics can be manufactured at a low cost when a specific pattern or a letter is expressed by the optical fiber in clothes, bags, and hats.
