Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method of knitting a cable pattern, a design system of a knitted fabric, and a storage medium. [0002] METHOD FOR KNITTING CABLE PATTERN, DESIGN SYSTEM OF KNITTED FABRIC, AND STORAGE MEDIUM [

The present invention relates to a method of knitting a cable pattern, a design system of a knitting fabric for creating a knitting program for knitting a cable pattern, And a storage medium (storage medium) storing a knitting program for knitting.

There is known a knitting method of a cable pattern for knitting a cable pattern in a knitting width of a base knitted fabric portion by using a weft knitting machine. The cable pattern is a tissue pattern (tissue pattern) knitted by replacing the position of the first stitch row (first stitch row) and the position of the second stitch row arranged in the knitting width of the base knitting needles. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of knitting a cable pattern for knitting a cable pattern that spans the front and back of a tubular knitted fabric at a side end of the tubular knitted fabric.

(One side base portion) (a portion of the base knitted fabric portion), the first stitch row, the second stitch row, the other side base portion (the other side the position of the first stitch row and the position of the second stitch row are changed from the state in which the first stitch row and the base stitch row are arranged in the order of the base stitch row, A method of knitting a cable pattern in which the positions of the first stitch row and the second stitch row are exchanged at one time or a method of knitting a cable pattern in which a position of a first stitch row and a position of a second stitch row are stepped up by dividing both stitch rows into a plurality of groups, A method of knitting a cable pattern to be replaced is known.

: Japanese Patent No. 3887410

However, in the conventional method of knitting a cable pattern, the number of stitches of the first stitch row and the second stitch row constituting the cable pattern and the number of stitches of the base knitting aspirations other than the cable pattern may not be applicable . For example, when the number of stitches in each stitch row is four or more, there is a fear of thread breakage in the method of knitting a cable pattern in which the first stitch row and the second stitch row are replaced at a time. Further, in the case of forming the tissue pattern on the base knitting ambidextension, the knitting of the cable pattern and the knitting of the tissue pattern of the base knitting shoulder can not be performed at the same time due to differences in racking or the like. As described above, the conventional methods of knitting the cable patterns each have a short one and a short length, and a user designing the knitted fabric has to select an optimum cable pattern knitting method according to need. In order to alleviate the burden on such users, there is a demand for a method of knitting a cable pattern which can be used for general purposes without limitation to the number of stitches of the stitch row and the organization pattern of the base knitting needles.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one of its objects is to provide a method of knitting a cable pattern excellent in versatility. Another object of the present invention is to provide a knitting fabric designing system for creating a knitting program which causes the knitting machine to perform a method of knitting a cable pattern excellent in versatility, and a storage medium storing the knitting program.

The present invention relates to a knitting machine comprising a knitting machine having at least one base portion, a first stitch row, a second stitch row, and a sequence of the other base portion in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed using at least a front knitting machine having a first needle bed and a second needle bed, And a cable pattern is formed on the knitted fabric by replacing the position of the first stitch row with the position of the second stitch row. In the method of knitting a cable pattern according to the present invention, the following steps a to e are carried out when a region in which the first stitch row and the second stitch row in the first needle bed are arranged is referred to as an intersecting region.

[Process alpha] ... The second stitch row is held on the second needle bed and the first stitch row is moved toward the other base portion in the cross region so as not to knit the second stitch row, And the first stitch row and the other base portion are knitted at least once.

[Process beta] ... A plurality of stitches constituting the first stitch row are divided into one side group of the one side base portion and the other side group of the other side base portion side and the other side group is moved to the end portion of the other side base portion in the cross region And at the same time, at least a part of the stitches of the one side group are moved to the side of the other side base, thereby forming a coprecipitation in the knitting width of the other side group and the one side group and in the knitting width of the one side group.

[Process γ] ... The stitches of the second stitch row are separated by co-ordination of the cross regions, and the one side base portion and the second stitch row and the other side base portion are knitted without knitting the first stitch row.

[Process δ] ... The stitches of the first stitch row in the mixed region where the stitches of the first stitch row and the stitch of the second stitch row coexist are moved toward the other base portion and the stitches of the second stitch row in the mixed region are moved The first stitch row and the second stitch row are shifted to the side of the one base portion so that the one base portion and the second stitch row and the other base portion are knitted together by combining the stitches of the first stitch row and the stitches of the second stitch row Is repeated. The mixed region is a region in which the first stitch row and the second stitch row overlap in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed and extends from the end on the other side base portion side of the second stitch row to the end portion on one base side portion of the first stitch row (See S7 and S9 in Fig. 2, which will be described later).

The method for knitting a cable pattern according to the present invention is characterized in that before performing the step a, the first stitch row is knitted, the one side base part, the second stitch row and the other side base part are knitted, And a step of terminating the connection with the second stitch row is performed.

In the method of knitting a cable pattern according to the present invention, when the second stitch row is moved to the side of the one base portion in the process?, The moving distance of the end stitch on the other base portion side of the second stitch row is 2 needles And dividing the process? Into groups so as to be equal to or smaller than 4 needles. This configuration has the same meaning as in the case of the total needle knitting (total needle knitting) that the number of stitches in the other group in the step < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a knitting machine comprising a knitting machine having an input part for inputting knitting information about knitting of a knitting fabric by a user and a computer provided in a knitting machine having a first needle bed and a second needle bed opposing each other on the basis of the knitting information The present invention relates to a knitting fabric designing system having a knitting program creating section for creating a knitting program capable of producing a knitting program. The designing system of the knitted fabric of the present invention is characterized in that knitting conditions for determining the knitting conditions for performing the knitting method of the cable pattern of the present invention are determined based on the cable pattern- . The knitting program preparing section provided in the knitting fabric designing system of the present invention controls the knitting machine to control the knitting machine so as to control the knitting machine to control the knitting machine to execute the knitting method of the cable pattern based on knitting conditions determined by the knitting- Create a programming program.

The present invention relates to a storage medium storing a knitting program readable by a computer provided in a weft knitting machine having a first needle bed and a second needle bed which are opposed to each other in the front and rear directions. The knitting program stored in the storage medium of the present invention is a knitting program for causing the computer to control the knitting machine to execute the knitting method of the cable pattern of the present invention on the knitting machine.

According to the method of knitting a cable pattern of the present invention, yarn breakage hardly occurs when the position of the first stitch row and the position of the second stitch row are exchanged. This is because even when the stitches of the first stitch row are moved and the stitches of the second stitch row are moved, the stitches are gradually moved within a range in which yarn breakage does not occur. The details are mentioned in the embodiments.

Further, the method of knitting a cable pattern of the present invention can be used universally without depending on the pattern of the base knitted fabric part. Since the knitting of the first stitch row and the knitting of the second stitch row are performed only in the intersecting region of the first needle bed during the period until the knitting of the cable pattern is completed, The stitches constituting the cable pattern can be knitted in the first needle bed regardless of the racking state of the second needle bed even when a tissue pattern that can not be knitted only in one state is formed on the base knitted cloth part.

Further, according to the method for knitting a cable pattern of the present invention for carrying out the process epsilon, the connection between the first stitch row and the second stitch row and the connection between the first stitch row and the one base portion can be disconnected, The yarn breakage can be suppressed.

If the moving distance of the end stitch on the other side of the second stitch row is 2 or more and 4 or less stitches at the time of separating the stitches of the second stitch row in the process?, The intersection connecting the second stitch row and the other base portion The yarn breakage of the yarn can be suppressed.

According to the knitting fabric design system of the present invention, it is possible to create a knitting program capable of knitting a cable pattern that is not restricted by the knitting pattern of the base knitting needles in the knitting fabric. The user merely designates a position at which the cable pattern is knitted on the knitting fabric design system as described later in the embodiment, and the knitting fabric designing system automatically creates the knitting program based on the designation of the user do.

By knitting the knitted fabric with the knitting machine using the knitting program stored in the storage medium of the present invention, it is possible to knit a cable pattern not limited to the knitting pattern of the base knitting needles in the knitted fabric.

1 is a knitting process diagram showing the first part of the knitting process of the cable pattern shown in the embodiment.
2 is a knitting process diagram showing the second half of the knitting process of the cable pattern shown in the embodiment.
3 is a functional block diagram of the knitting fabric designing system shown in the embodiment.

A front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FB) and a back needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BB) and a knitting yarn which extend in the left-right direction and also face each other in the front- 2-bed knitting machine capable of racking left and right BB and capable of transferring stitches, having a yarn feeder for yarn feeding, ) Will be explained. Of course, the flat knitting machine to be used is not limited to the two-bed flat knitting machine, but may be, for example, a four-bed flat knitting machine.

≪ Method of knitting a cable pattern >

In this embodiment, as an example of a method of knitting a cable pattern, the first stitch row (first stitch row) and the second stitch row for replacing the left and right positions in the knitted fabric An example of knitting a cable pattern (6 x 6 cable pattern) is described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. The number of stitches in each stitch row is not particularly limited. For example, the number of stitches may be 4 x 4 to 12 x 12. The number of stitches of the first stitch row and the number of stitches of the second stitch row may be different from each other (for example, a 4 x 6 cable pattern). It is also possible to apply the method of knitting the cable pattern of this embodiment to the tubular knitted fabric.

The alphabet + numerals in the left column (left column) in Figs. 1 and 2 show the number of the knitting process (knitting process), and the right column (right column) shows the knitting condition in the needle bed. The capital letters in the figure indicate the position of the knitting needles, the arrow indicates the direction of the transfer, and the triangular symbol indicates the feed opening 8. The stitches of one side base portion (b1) and the other side base portion (base side portion) b2, which are base knitted fabric portions other than the cable pattern, are indicated by circles, The stitch of the first stitch string 1 is represented by a diamond mark and the stitch of the second stitch row 2 is represented by a pentagon mark. The actual operations performed in each process are indicated by bold lines and painted lines. In Figs. 1 and 2, the racking operation of BB is omitted.

The first stitch row 1, the second stitch row 2, and the second stitch row 3 are formed in the right and left sides of FB and BB by moving the feeding opening 8 in the right direction of the paper surface, And the other base portion b2 are knitted (both base portions b1 and b2 are stitch rows made up of a plurality of stitches). One base portion b1 is coupled to knitting needles Q and R of BB and knitting needles S and T of FB. The first stitch row 1 is joined to the knitting needles K to P of the FB and the second stitch row 2 is joined to the knitting needles E to J of the FB. The other base portion b2 is coupled to knitting needles A and B of FB and knitting needles C and D of BB.

Here, stitches on the side of the cable pattern formation area on both base portions b1 and b2 are knitted with BB to form a back stitch in order to float the cable pattern from the base knitted fabric portion . By forming the back stitches, the cross-over yarns connecting the base portions b1 and b2 and the stitch rows 1 and 2 constituting the cable pattern are lengthened, The thread breakage of the cross yarns when the stitch rows 1 and 2 are moved is suppressed.

The position of the first stitch row 1 and the position of the second stitch row 2 in the knitting needles E to P are exchanged from the state shown in S0 so that the one base portion b1 and the other base portion b2 are rotated, The cable pattern is formed within the knitting width of the base knitted cloth portion. The stitch rows 1 and 2 are intersected such that the first stitch row 1 is positioned in front of the second stitch row 2 at the time of forming the cable pattern.

The knitting of the first stitch row 1 and the knitting of the second stitch row 2 are performed in the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 in the FB, (That is, within the area of the knitting needles E to P of the FB). This area is called a crossing area (crossing area), and is surrounded by a broken line in the drawing.

In S1, the yarn feeding port 8 is moved to the left to knit one base portion b1, the second stitch row 2 and the other base portion b2 without knitting the first stitch row 1 (Corresponding to the process?). By this S1, the connection between the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 and the connection between the first stitch row 1 and the one base b1 are cut off, It is possible to prevent the yarn breakage when the yarn 1 is moved. This S1 also has an effect of preventing yarn breakage when the second stitch row 2 is moved in a subsequent step.

The first stitch row 1 coupled to the knitting needles K to P of the FB is moved to the knitting needles K to P of the BB and the second stitch row 1 to be engaged with the knitting needles E to J of the FB, Move column 2 to knitting needles E to J of BB. This S2 is a preparation for replacing the position of the first stitch row 1 and the position of the second stitch row 2 with each other.

2, stitch rows b1, 1, b2 other than the second stitch row 2 are formed by moving the first stitch row 1 toward the side of the other base b2 by one minute, Is knitted three times (corresponding to step a). The movement and knitting of the first stitch row 1 is performed by the end stitches (the stitches of the FB knitting needle J in S3) on the side of the other side base portion b2 of the first stitch row 1 (Positions of knitting needles G to I of FB) separated by 2 to 4 needles from the final movement position of the first stitch row (the position of the knitting needle E of the FB). Further, the movement distance of the first stitch row 1 is not limited to one needle as in the above-described example, and the movement distance of the knitting yarn connecting the first stitch row 1 and the one base portion b1 . For example, when the knitting yarn used for knitting is a normal knitting yarn (non-elastic knitting yarn), the moving distance of the first stitch row 1 may be about 2 to 3 stitches. However, in the case where the knitting yarn used for knitting is an elastic knitting yarn, the moving distance of the first stitch row 1 may be 4 or more stitches.

In the step S3 which is a part of the step alpha, the first stitch row 1 (1), which is joined to the knitting needles K to P of the BB by using the racking and transferring in the state in which the second stitch row 2 is held in the BB, ) To the knitting needles J to O of the FB. Namely, the first stitch row 1 is moved by one needle from the state of S1 in Fig. 1 toward the other base portion b2. In S3, the yarn feeding port 8 is moved to the right so that the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 1 are continuously connected to each other without knitting the second stitch row 2, . By this movement and knitting, the cross yarn 3 connecting the first stitch row 1 and the one base portion b1 becomes longer, and the following S4 can be easily performed.

Here, after S3, the stitch rows b1, 1, and b2 may be knitted for at least one course (one course) without moving the first stitch row 1. The number of courses (the number of steps in the wale direction) of the first stitch row 1 is larger than the number of courses of the second stitch row 2 (described later) It's easy to get a shape.

The first stitch row 1 is moved toward the other base portion b2 by one minute and the second stitch row 2 is not knitted and the one base portion b1 is not knitted, And the first stitch row (1) and the other side base portion (b2).

In S6, the first stitch row 1 in S5 is folded to one side group (g1) on the side of the base portion b1 on one side and the other group (the other side group) on the side of the other base portion b2 g2), and each of the groups g1 and g2 is moved to the knitting needle on the side of the other base portion b2 of the FB (corresponding to step beta). At this time, the other group g2 is moved to the left end of the intersection area so that the stitch constituting the one group g1 is separated from the knitting needle at the one base part b1 than the other group g2. When separating one side group g1, a cooperative needle is formed within the knitting width between the other group g2 and the one side group g1 and the one side group g1 (for the former, FB The knitting needle H of the FB, and the knitting needles J and L of the FB for the latter.

The number of stitches to be assigned to each of the groups g1 and g2 is determined by connecting the second stitch row 2 and the other base portion b2 when the second stitch row 2 is moved in the next step S7 Is determined within a range in which the cross yarns (3) are not cut off. More specifically, among the stitches constituting the first stitch row 1, about one to three stitches on the other side of the base portion b2 are used as the other group g2 and the remaining stitches are used as the one side group g1 . For example, even if the first stitch row 1 is composed of twelve stitches, the other group g2 is about 2 to 4 stitches and the one side group g1 is about 10 to 8 stitches. However, in the case of knitting a knitted fabric with an elastic knitting yarn, the number of stitches of the other group g2 may be four or more.

In order to move the stitch in step S6, BB is stuck in the left direction so that the co-needle of BB is arranged at the position facing the first stitch row (1). Subsequently, the stitches of the first stitch row (1) coupled to the knitting needles (H to M) of the FB in S5 are held on the BB. Then, while straddling the BB in the left direction, the stitches held in the BB are successively returned to the FB.

The stitch rows b2, 2, b1 other than the first stitch row 1 are knitted in S7 by moving each of the stitches constituting the second stitch row 2 in the crossing area of the FB crossing area surrounded by the broken line, (Corresponding to the process?). The coprecipitation of the cross region is formed in the FB by passing through the steps? And?. In this example, the knitting needles of the FB needles (N, O, P) J, L) is a coprecipitate formed in step?. When the second stitch row 2 is moved, the order of arranging the stitches of the second stitch row 2 in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed is not changed. In this example, stitches of the knitting needles E of the BB, stitches of the knitting needles F and stitches of the knitting needles G are stitched together with knitting needles H of the FB, J and knitting needle L and the stitches of the knitting needles H, I and J of the BB are moved to the knitting needles N, O and P of the FB respectively.

The end stitches on the other side of the second stitch row 2 on the other side of the second stitch row 2 are arranged in such a manner that knitting needles H of the FB (knitting needles between the one side group g1 and the other side group g2) ) In the longitudinal direction of the needle bed. In the case of a movement of about three needles, the possibility that the cross yarn 3 connecting the second stitch row 2 and the other base portion b2 is cut off is low. The end stitches on the base portion b1 side of the stitches of the second stitch row 2 are moved by 6 stitches in the lengthwise direction of the needle bed from the knitting needle J of the BB to the knitting needle P of the FB. The end stitch is connected to the base part b1 as shown in S1 of Fig. 1, and the cross yarn connecting the end stitch to the base part b1 is very long. Since the direction of movement of the end stitches is a direction of shortening the distance between the end stitches and the one base portion b1, there is no fear of thread breakage.

In the next S8 to S11, the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 1 in the mixed region where the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the stitches of the second stitch row 2 are mixed, The knitting of the second stitch row 2 by moving the stitches of the row 2 to the side of the other side base portion b2 and the side of the base portion b1 of the one side is the same as that of the stitches of the stitch rows 1, The process is repeated until the mixture is dissolved (equivalent to the process δ). At the time of knitting the second stitch row 2, the stitch rows b1, 2, b2 other than the first stitch row 1 are knitted.

In S8 which is a part of the process delta, the stitch of the knitting needles H to M of the FB in the mixed region 4 shown in S7 is moved to the knitting needles H to M of BB. The mixed region 4 is formed from one end of the first stitch row 1 to the other side of the second stitch row 2 after the end of S7 (See the knitting needle M) of the base portion b1.

In step S9, the stitches of the first stitch row 1 bonded to the knitting needles I, K and M of the BB are moved to knitting needles H, J and L of the FB using racking and transfer, The stitches of the second stitch row 2 bonded to the knitting needles H, J and L are moved to knitting needles I, K and M of the FB. In the step S9, the yarn feeding port 8 is moved to the right so that the other side base portion b2, the second stitch row 2 and the one side base portion b1 are continuously connected without knitting the first stitch row 1, .

The mixed stitches of the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are partially eliminated by the steps S8 and S9 so that the knitting needles I to L of the FB become the new mixed region 5 . Thus, in S10, the stitches of the knitting needles I to L of the FB in the mixed region 5 are moved to the knitting needles I to L of the BB.

In S11, the stitches of the first stitch row 1 bonded to the knitting needles J and L of the BB are moved to the knitting needles I and J of the FB and the stitches of the knitting needles I and K 2 Move the stitches of the stitch row 2 to knitting needles (K, L) of FB. In S11, the yarn feeding port 8 is moved to the left to knit the other base portion b2, the second stitch row 2 and the one base portion b1 without knitting the first stitch row 1. [ do. By this S10 and S11, the mixed state of the stitches of the stitch rows 1 and 2 is canceled and the state of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are replaced, A cable pattern in which the row 1 is crossed in front of the second stitch row 2 is formed.

If the cable pattern is to be knitted later, the steps S1 to S11 in Figs. 1 and 2 may be repeated. The same stitches as S1 to S11 may also be stipulated by one side base portion b1, the first stitch row 1, the second stitch row 2 and the other side base portion b2 in this order from the left side of the drawing sheet . In this case, it is possible to form a cable pattern in which stitch rows of the knitting needles E to J of the FB in S0 of Fig. 1 are arranged on the surface side of the knitting fabric.

According to the knitting process described above, yarn breakage can be avoided when the position of the first stitch row 1 and the position of the second stitch row 2 are exchanged. This is because, when one stitch is moved in the direction in which the cross yarns are stretched out of the two stitches connected by the cross yarn, the movement distance is 4 knots or less even if the movement distance is large.

Further, in the knitting process, since the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are knitted only in the intersection area of the FB surrounded by the dashed line until the knitting of the cable pattern is completed, Even when a tissue pattern (tissue pattern) that can not be knitted only in the state where the BB is racked against the FB is formed on the base knitted shoulders (base portions b1 and b2) Stitches can be knitted in FB. That is, the method of knitting a cable pattern shown in the embodiment has a general versatility capable of forming a cable pattern, regardless of which pattern is formed on the base knitted shoulder outside the crossing area.

Further, in the knitting process, since the second stitch row behind the first stitch row made of the front stitch is also the front stitch, it is possible to prevent the portion of the first stitch row and the portion of the second stitch row in the cable pattern There is a sense of unity, and the appearance of the cable pattern is improved.

≪ Organizing program (program) and storage medium (storage medium) >

The knitting program for causing the horizontal knitting machine to perform the knitting method of the cable pattern is a knitting program for controlling the horizontal knitting machine in the computer provided in the horizontal knitting machine so as to execute the following steps in the horizontal knitting machine. The position of the first stitch row 1 and the position of the second stitch row 2 arranged between the one base portion b1 and the other base portion b2 shown in S0 in Fig. The replaced cable pattern can be formed in the knitted fabric.

Here, in the weft knitting machine, a cam provided on a carriage running on the needle bed acts on a butt provided on the knitting needle, and the knitting needle moves forward and backward along the needle groove of the needle bed Whereby stitches are formed. This needle-type knitting machine includes a needle selection mechanism (needle selection mechanism) for determining which kind of knitting needles to move, a carriage control mechanism for controlling the running and camming of the carriage, and a racking control mechanism for controlling the racking of the needle bed Respectively. The knitting program realizes knitting of the following steps by issuing a command to these mechanisms to control the racking position of the needle bed and the movement of the individual knitting needles.

The area where the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are arranged in the FB is referred to as an intersection area and the first stitch row 1 is intersected with the second stitch row 2 in the state of holding the second stitch row 2 at BB The first stitch row 1 and the second side stitch b2 are knitted without moving the second stitch row 2 by moving the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 to the side of the other base portion b2 Step 1 or more steps 1.

A plurality of stitches constituting the first stitch row 1 are divided into one group g1 on one side of the base part b1 and the other group g2 on the other side of the base part b2, The stitches of one side group g1 are moved to the side of the other side base portion b2 and the stitches of the other side group g2 and the one side group g1 are moved Step 2 of forming a co-needle in the knitting width.

The respective stitches of the second stitch row 2 are separated by the copulation of the intersection area and the first stitch row 1 is not knitted and the one side b1, the second stitch row 2 and the other side b2 ) Step 3.

The stitches of the first stitch row 1 in the mixed regions 4 and 5 where the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the stitches of the second stitch row 2 are mixed are moved to the side of the other side base portion b2 The stitches of the second stitch row 2 in the mixed regions 4 and 5 are moved to the side of the one base portion b1 so as not to knit the first stitch row 1, And repeating the step of knitting the second stitch row 2 and the other base portion b2 until the mixed stitches of the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are eliminated 4.

The knitting condition determining unit 21 determines a knitting condition for performing the knitting method of the cable pattern of the present invention, that is, a knitting condition of each step of the knitting program, based on the cable pattern-related information. For example, the following five conditions can be given.

(One)… The moving distance of the first stitch row 1 in Step 1 once.

(2)… The number of times that the movement and combination of the first stitch row 1 in step 1 are repeated.

(3) ... (How many stitches are to be formed of the one group g1 and the other group g2, respectively) of the first stitch row 1 in step 2.

(4)… A place where co-op is formed in step 2.

(5) ... The movement pattern of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 for eliminating the mixture of the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 in Step 4.

In the knitted fabric design system 100 of this embodiment, a plurality of knitting conditions (1) to (5) are prepared in advance, respectively, and these knitting conditions are stored in a memory 30 described later. Each knitting condition is set in advance according to the kind of knitting yarn and the number of stitches (i.e., cable pattern-related information) constituting the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2. For example, a knitting condition when the number of stitches on both stitch rows 1 and 2 is four and a knitting condition when the number of stitches on both stitch rows 1 and 2 are five is &quot; Y &quot; As described above, a plurality of knitting conditions corresponding to changes in the cable pattern-related information are set in advance. In other words, the knitting condition determining unit 21 of this embodiment selects a knitting condition corresponding to the cable pattern-related information among a plurality of knitting conditions by referring to the cable pattern-related information.

[Organizing Program Creation Department]

The knitting program creating section 29 creates a knitting program in which an operation of an actual knitting needle and a knitting procedure of a knitting yarn are set based on the knitting information input by the user. The knitting program created by the knitting program creating section 29 is sent to a knitting machine through a recording medium such as a magnetic disk or the like via wired or wireless.

«Memory»

The memory 30 is a storage medium such as a hard disk for storing knitting information (including cable pattern-related information) input by the user and knitting conditions referred to by the knitting-condition determining unit 21. [ Of course, the memory 30 may store other information related to the design of the knitted fabric, such as a knitting code that the user assigns to the knitting unit.

«Display section»

The display unit 40 is for visually grasping information on the design of the knitted fabric, and is not particularly limited. The display unit 40 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display. When a touch panel is used as the display unit 40, the display unit 40 can be part of the role of the input unit 10.

<< Creation sequence of cable pattern program >>

A procedure for creating a knitting program by the knitting fabric design system 100 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, the user places a combination code in a pattern made up of a plurality of combination units through the input unit 10. [ At that time, when the knitting code relating to the knitting of the cable pattern is arranged in the knitting unit of the knitting fabric, the designing system 100 of the knitting fabric determines, based on the position where the knitting code about the cable pattern is arranged, .

The automatic processing section 20 determines whether the number of the first knitting yarns continuously lined up in the knitting width direction and the number of the second knitting yarns continuously arranged in the knitting width direction are three or less. The knitting program creating section 29 of the automatic processing section 20 can change the position of the first stitch row 1 and the position of the second stitch row 2 at a time, And a method of organizing the program.

The knitting condition determination unit 21 of the automatic processing unit 20 refers to the cable pattern related information to determine whether the number of the first knitting yarns The knitting conditions (1 to 5) in accordance with the reference results are determined in the knitting conditions. For example, the knitting condition (1) for the movement distance of the first stitch row 1 may be determined based on information that the knitting yarn is not an elastic knitting yarn. The knitting conditions (2 to 5) described above may be determined based on information on whether the knitting yarn is an elastic knitting yarn and how many stitches of the stitch rows (1, 2) are.

When the knitting conditions (1 to 5) are determined, the knitting program creating section 29 creates a knitting program for causing the knitting machine to knit a cable pattern satisfying the determined knitting conditions (1 to 5).
