Description

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR APPLYING A SUBSTANCE TO AN EMBROIDERY PRODUCT, AND EMBROIDERY MACHINE WITH APPLICATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a method for applying one or more materials to an embroidery base in a pattern preprogrammed by the embroidery machine. The invention also relates to a device for an embroidery machine, and more particularly to a shuttle embroidery machine for applying a material to an embroidery base. The invention also relates to an embroidery machine having a plurality of needle locations, in particular a multi-head embroidery machine or shuttle embroidery machine, in particular a spray device, preferably a plurality of sprays, comprising one or more devices for applying the material. To devices.

Modern automatic embroidery machines may be equipped with a variety of additional devices such as, for example, decorative metal and cord devices for embroidering sequins, strings, beads, and the like on the embroidery base. This enables a large number of complex embroidery products. Embroidery pattern embroidery bases with large or multi-head embroidery machines have not been satisfactory in practical use since the exact placement of the embroidery base relative to the needle locations over the entire width is nearly impossible. It is also important how the embroidery base is fixed to the embroidery frame. If done manually, fabric fixing, often several meters wide, cannot be achieved with the required precision. Even if the fabric is released from a clamping frame or roll of creel, deformation occurs over the width of the fabric. As a result, precise outline work or top-stitching of the fabric pattern (print, dye or weave) is impossible. Also, since the deformations in the fabric web are not easily correctable, the use of sensors to set the precise position of the pattern is not helpful.

For example, devices known in the publications of GB 303 342, EP 1 496 146 A1 and DE 102 39 192 A1 are disclosed.

Patent specification GB 303 342 discloses an initial joining method for making a flower design. Here, the first incomplete part of the design occurs by weaving on the weaving machine, and the second incomplete part of the design compensates for the first incomplete part but is applied only by using other techniques such as printing.

Patent application EP 1 496 146 A1 discloses an apparatus for an automated method. The method comprises a first workstation comprising a weaving machine and a second workstation comprising one or more heads for applying or embroidering other decorative members. The fabric produced on the weaving machine according to the disclosure can be loaded directly onto an embroidery machine or other application machine without cutting. As a result, the weave patterns and the subsequent decoration can be made automatically in a specific correlation.

Patent publication DE 102 39 192 A1 discloses a device for the subsequent decoration of textile web goods. With this device, the large area decoration of the woven web goods can be made without repetition. In addition, simultaneous or continuous use of other application techniques is possible, for example a combination of thread-like and other decorating methods can be provided on fabric web areas. To this end, the conveyor device holds the fabric web on its side and moves in the longitudinal direction so that the fabric web advances or is decorated. At least a distance from the fabric web is mounted one or more machining heads, which move on the guided fabric web according to a pattern pre-determined by a linear guide.

It would be desirable if the fabric webs could be automatically embroidered and printed and the desired material or mixture could be applied. However, in an automatic machine, quality defects are caused by inadequate overlaying and / or matching of embroidery patterns and print patterns. Often when the embroidery material is clamped again, the embroidery frame is relocated on the second machine, moved to another working position while being changed from the embroidery machine, the embroidery process is in progress with the printing machine, or the printing process or vice versa, Reference errors occur between the embroidery pattern and the print pattern. Deviations from the originally planned design are mostly extremely disturbing, which causes a large rejection or a large decline in the value of the product.

1 shows a support 11 of a shuttle embroidery machine, on which a needle location 17 is arranged. Needle location 17 includes a needle tappet 27 on which a needle is arranged (not shown) and which can move back and forth. The front of the needle tappet is a needle sweat plate 12 with a shuttle holder 13 at the rear. Shuttle holder 13 has a driver bar (driver bar) not shown in detail coupled to the shuttle (not shown in Figure 1) that can move up and down. The above described members and their functions are well known to those skilled in the art and do not require detailed description. The embroidery base or fabric 15 is fixed in the form of a fabric web (shown in dashed lines) in front of the needle stitch plate 12 during the operation of the embroidery machine. Thus, the needle stitch plate 12 forms a support surface for the embroidery base 15. In a known manner the embroidery base 15 is fixed on a creel or embroidery frame which is preferably movable in the x, y direction under computer control.

The coordinate system referred to here is a Cartesian coordinate system with three direction axes perpendicular to each other, where x, y, z indicated here intersect at the origin.

According to the invention, the embroidery machine has a spray head 19. This spray head 19 is arranged above the needle location 17 of the module carrier 23. The spray head 19 is attached to the module carrier 23 via fastening means not shown in detail. The fixing means of the spray head 19 includes an adjusting device for adjusting the spray head 19 in the direction of the embroidery base, that is, in the z direction. The adjusting device may comprise a support, on which the spray head is arranged in a displaceable manner, ie in a sliding manner.

Preferably the securing means comprises, for example, a linear guide member, a guide device in the form of a rail, on which the slide is displaceably arranged. The slide may be a support on which the spray head is arranged. However, it is possible to provide a guide means directly on the spray head, so that no separate support may be required. The slide or spray head may be fixed to the guide member by suitable fastening means. Preferably, a spindle with a thread interacting with the slide is provided to fix the position of the spray head relative to the support to accurately fix the embroidery base. The threaded spindle can be locked with a lock nut. Also, a motor drive adjusting device can be provided, which can be directly controlled by the embroidery machine control system. Maintaining the correct distance from the opening of the spray nozzle to the embroidery base is important for the control of the jet width of the liquid medium applied to and sprayed on the embroidery base.

Since the spray head 19 and the needle location 17 are fixed, in particular with respect to the general module carrier 23 or simply the embroidery machine frame, the spray nozzle 33 and the needle tappet 27, the needle stitch point 29 and the spray point 35 can be selected at a predetermined relative position.

Spray device 37 is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. The spray device 37 comprises one or more spray heads 19 with a nozzle 33, preferably a collecting station 39. Preferably, the spray head 19 and its associated catchment station 39 are arranged directly in the opposite direction to each other at the front and back of the embroidery base, so that the extra spray material penetrating the embroidery base is collected. Can be captured by. This is important for the smooth operation of the embroidery machine as the spray material penetrating the embroidery base can contaminate the embroidery machine. In addition, the ambient air will not be polluted beyond the permissible limits.

Preferably for each spray head 19, a catchment station 39 is provided on the side of the embroidery base 15 in a direction away from the spray head 19. The collecting opening 41 of the collecting station 39 is directed towards the outlet of the nozzle 33 here. The collecting opening 41 preferably extends through a basin portion 42, such as a hopper, to a narrower end opening 43 in a discharge pipe (not shown) which further extends to the collecting container as appropriate. A discharge air mechanism can be provided, which effectively sucks the excess material material trapped in the hopper into the sump container.

As the spray head 19, a marker gun, automatic spray gun, airbrush gun, airless spray gun or similar device is preferably used, which is preferably commercially available.

4 shows a part of the marker gun 19 in detail. The connecting line 45 provides a finely divided material, ie a material which is preferably sprayed by being present as a liquid, where powder is also applicable. This material, for example a dye, lacquer or adhesive, is preferably transferred from the pressurized storage container to the marker gun 19. Spray air (alternatively this is another medium or a mixture of other mediums) is also introduced through the connection line 47. The spray air provided atomizes the applied material.

Another connection line 49 controls the spraying process. The line 49 contributes to the control air supply. Using control air, the valve in the spray head 19 can switch the spray function on / off, intercepting the supply of at least the applied material and / or atomized air to the nozzle. Preferably the valve can be directly electrically controlled to enable a short conversion time.

An outer nozzle needle structure 51 is connected with the needle that controls the path through the nozzle outlet. In particular, by setting the nozzle needle, the discharge opening can be made smaller or larger, thereby adjusting the amount of material produced.

In addition to the spray head 19, the embroidery machine may further be provided with other accessories, for example decorative metal and / or cord units 21. The spray head 19, decorative metal and / or strap unit 21 may preferably be mounted in a specific pattern on the module carrier 23.

The spray head 19 according to the invention may be arranged on a shuttle or multi-head embroidery machine. Multi-head embroidery machines generally have a plurality of embroidery heads, each executing a plurality of needle locations, which in turn form a plurality of needle stitch points 29.

The following description relates to the spraying method using the spray apparatus 37. One substance is sprayed or atomized here. The spray device thus sprays or atomizes the material. The terms atomization and spraying preferably mean that the liquid is finely divided into droplets or particles and subsequently or simultaneously dispensed.

The material to be applied is preferably mixed with spray air for application. By mixing and simultaneous or subsequent expansion, the sprayed material is atomized. Spray heads thus functioning are also referred to as two-material nozzles or pneumatic atomisers.

The mixing preferably takes place before the normal nozzle discharge of the mixture in the so-called gun housing of the internal mixing chamber. The applied spray air and material are guided to the mixing chamber under pressure and mixed under pressure so that the material is atomized at the normal nozzle outlet because of the preliminary pressure. Mixing of gas with a liquid medium comprising the applied material can alternatively take place outside the nozzle. This is known as external mixing. To this end, the applied spray air and the material go almost in the nozzle axial direction through separate nozzle outlets. The two media are mixed at the outlet, atomizing the droplets of matter.

Optionally, the two-material nozzle can be replaced with a single material nozzle. Single material nozzles apply the material by pressure energy without any mixing of atomization gases. In a simple embodiment, the single material nozzle has substantially a bore, through which, in this case, the applied material, which is present as a liquid, is produced at a certain rate.

The material to be applied is preferably pressurized at atmospheric pressure (eg, connected to a compressor) in the container and delivered to one spray head via a material delivery system, ie one hose line, or through multiple hose lines. Delivered to the respective spray heads. Each spray head is controlled by one or more on / off valves. This opens or closes the path to the nozzle opening. Therefore, the conversion to turn on / off the spray process is possible. This valve is preferably electromagnetically controlled, allowing very short conversion times.

In addition, generally atomized air is introduced into the substrate flow, and the material to be applied (e.g., dye) can be finely sprayed onto the embroidery base. Compressed air can be used as atomized air. This technique enables, for example, very fine dyeing processes, with virtually no limitations on design.

Control commands and various spray parameters applicable are preferably programmed and integrated into existing embroidery programs.

In the method according to the invention, for example, a spray gun with relatively small dimensions of 15 cm, preferably 10 cm, and a corresponding small cross area mass can be used. Due to the small dimensions of the spray head 19, firstly a plurality of spray heads 19 can be integrated in the embroidery machine, and as a result the distance from the needle stitching point 29 to the spraying point 35 is kept as small as possible. Can be.

With the spray apparatus described, spot, line and area marking may be applied depending on whether the embroidery base moves relative to the spray nozzle during the spraying processes.

Preferably a plurality of spray devices are arranged in a particular pattern with the needle locations.

If multiple spray devices are used, or other materials in the multiple supply containers, or other materials are applied alternatively or simultaneously to each other, for example, the color may change. The machine can be controlled via the embroidery machine program.

In conjunction with the spray apparatus, a liquid substance with fine pigments depending on the nozzle size can be applied to the embroidery base, ie unworked or already partially embroidered. For example, with an external mixing gun, application of particle suspensions is possible. The spray apparatus comprises, for example, a single substance sprayer for the application of liquid substance or a two-material sprayer for the application of liquid with particles of the jet pump principle, wherein compressed air as described above is used as the compressed gas do.

The flushing system can be integrated to prevent contamination and improve process reliability. The flushing system includes, for example, a connection for supplying a flushing medium to clean the nozzles after the last spray process.

The spray device of FIGS. 5 and 6 is essentially different from FIG. 4 in that two connection points 53a, 53b are provided for the storage container 55. The connection points 53a, 53b automatically close the opening 59 of the connection point if no storage container is connected, and the magnetic opening that opens the opening 59 when the storage container is connected to the opening 59. A self-closing valve 57. For quick change of the storage container 55, the container 55 and the connection points 53a, 53b have a high speed closure device, not shown, such as a bayonet closure, for example.

Since material residues are still present in the spray device from the already connected container (memory effect), so that the color changes without a smearing effect, the lines between the interior of the spray device and the connection points 53a, 53b are cleaned. Can be. Thereafter, the collecting container 61 is connected to the washing solution at the connection point 53a, the positive pressure source 63, or at another connection point 53b. Thus, material residues still present in the lines can be blown or washed and trapped in the sump container.
