Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of computer-assisted software machines for the manufacture of various products from beads and beads of a spherical or close to spherical shape, as well as for performing bead weaving.

LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

An invention in the field of bead weaving and the manufacture of products from beads and beads of a spherical or close to spherical shape, using a system consisting of several automated devices using a controller running with an application on a PC, and loading data on the color sequence and the number of stringed beads, as well as data on the distribution of color shades of beads in the dispenser.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of the invention of the software bead complex is the possibility of automating and simplifying manual labor in the field of bead weaving, by means of a combination of two devices - a bead dispenser and a stringer, as well as bead weaving methods, low method and bead panels. A bead dispenser is a device that throws beads of a certain color over one of the containers, the program reads the codes for the required shades of beads, which the master loads into the PC program in the form of a text document, or the device works directly from a graphics editor. The data with the codes for the document is provided by graphics programs available on the market. The program determines to which code this or that output of the controller board belongs; the boards have many outputs, each of which, through a transistor switch (a circuit for increasing the output power), makes a certain electric drive work, which throws out beads of certain shades and in the right amount, coming from the container using the shutters-rods in the distribution mule dispensing nodes. Further, a large funnel catches and moves the bead down a flexible tube, through a braking device into a vibrating funnel with a variable diameter using a servo motor, the funnel has a corresponding hole, the needle tip is located in the center of this hole, so that the bead is on the needle due to the funnel vibration. Next, a laser receiver is triggered and two grippers with forks and stops, spreading in turn pass the bead down, the needle does not change its position due to the fact that it has recesses on both sides in the shape of the corresponding gripper fork. After that, the bead is pushed onto the thread by an elastic tail using an electric drive mechanism. The size of the stringed bead can be different due to the funnel in which the movable curtain segments have inclined walls, when mated, forming a multifaceted funnel with a vibration device installed on it and a variable diameter using a servo motor. At the same time, different modules produce beads of different sizes and at the same time the program adjusts the funnel for them. Beads set on a thread can be used to create various bead products, also in bead weaving when creating pictures from beads or beads.

The disadvantage of the device is that when small specks or a defective bead get into the working holes for beads, the compositor stops, gives a sound signal and requires cleaning the bead passage, which is provided for by the compositor's design, and also works with calibrated beads.

EFFECT: saving time, the ability to perform other operations while the typesetter is working independently, no need to deal with the conventions or symbols in the scheme, which is especially difficult with poor eyesight or color perception. The typesetter allows the program to control all the steps of the process: such as the numbers of strung and issued beads and the registration of all moments of the process by the program, conflict moments and stopping the process necessary to eliminate deficiencies. Thanks to the programmed bead complex, it becomes possible to create products from beads and beads in a color scheme that is not possible to produce by hand. The complex also facilitates the creation of paintings from beads or beads of large sizes, the technology is generally available to people who do not have skills in this art, which in turn makes it popular, and can also be used to create fashion clothes.

The bead dispenser is a device for working with or without a stringer; when embroidering with beads on fabric, the device works similarly to the dispenser in the typesetter, but the master uses the dispenser in manual work, accepting one bead at a time and sewing to the fabric manually according to the program. The dispenser has a tube with a sensor and when you bring your fingers to the tube, the device throws out the bead and it ends up in the fingers of the master's hand; Also, the device has a stringer for bringing the needle to the forks by hand, when closed, the stringer gives out a bead from the funnel to the needle according to the program using the control flap above the funnel.

The technical result is the ability to quickly obtain beads or beads of the required shades and sizes according to the program. And also the ability to control the steps of work on a PC.

The dispensing module is a device designed for the convenience of manufacturing and maintenance, also for completing a compositor or dispenser, designed to dispense beads according to the program, consisting of containers for beads with lids and holes into which the beads pass by means of an electric shaking or movement of a pusher near the exit holes inside the container. Tubes emerge from the bottom of the containers and pass into dispensing nodes located under the containers, having vertical cylindrical passages passing coaxially into horizontal cylindrical passages with dampers-rods, connected to an electric actuator unit installed under the base of the module for pulling each damper according to the program.

A thread stringer is a device that string beads of different sizes onto a thread and works both together with a dispenser and separately on a floor stand, by means of a vibrating funnel with a variable diameter using a servo motor, a receiver and a laser emitter, as well as by means of two or three electric drives, vertically positioned grips, bred in turn and holding the needle stationary, exactly in the center of the hole in the funnel and the mechanism for pushing the bead onto the thread. The device allows you to string beads or beads close to a spherical or spherical shape on a thread without using both hands, simply throwing them into a funnel, and displaying the number of beads on the counter display; The advantage and technical result of this method is, first of all, the ability to string beads onto a thread simply by sequentially throwing them into a funnel and the absence, in this connection, of muscle tension and vision that occur during conventional hand stringing.

Needle stringer is a simplified and lightweight version of a stringer for stringing beads or beads of any size on a needle, with or without a dispenser. It has a tabletop design on a stand, it has two grips for a long needle, above and below. The device spreads the upper grip automatically when the bead enters the needle through the funnel, and the lower one is manually spread to hold the needle from below. The stringer has an extension, which is made in the form of a removable rail of a support attached from the bottom and on which, vertically, at some distance one above the other, tubes with a shallow bell top are installed in which a needle is placed in the form of a long string with a thin tail at the end having a hook; the tube supports the vertical position of the needle-string, the lower end of which fixes the grip-clothespin located on the rail at the bottom.

The disadvantage is that you have to manually push the beads onto the thread, but you do not need to remove the needle from the grippers.

The advantage of this type of stringer is speed, because the presence of only one active grip at the top of the funnel allows you to string beads more often.

The bead weaving method is designed to work with a compositor, and serves to simplify and speed up the process. This method uses a device in the form of a table with an arcuate plane forming an arc in the side profile and consisting of sections joined together by pins to change the size format of the future picture. The surface of the table has grooves for beads, located in transverse rows at the same distance from each other. The thread collected on the compositor is pulled along a row of grooves and fixed, then the beads collected on the threads are distributed using a roller by rolling it along the entire line of beads. Thus, while filling the empty threads prepared on the same table on the typesetter, they perform the same operation with all rows of beads, after which they check the finished picture and eliminate the shortcomings. Then, a frame is placed on top with stretched longitudinal threads and a gap corresponding to arranged in a row of beads in such a way that the threads pass between the beads and fit completely the arcuate surface of the table. Then they take a thin needle-string with a hook and pull it through all the holes of the beads arranged in a line, while the needle-string passes freely along the entire length of the row, because due to the arcuate shape of the table, the longitudinal threads push the transverse threads and a lot of free remains in the holes of the beads lumen. Similarly, produce a low (broaching) of all rows.

The only drawback of this method is that one side edge of the threads must be tied or fastened in each row. The advantage is that the process does not require special perseverance and long-term application of efforts, which are needed in the usual way, and is also available to people with no special skills.

The method of low beads is designed to work with a compositor and serves to accelerate and simplify the pulling of the threads in the home version of bead weaving, the method is more mobile, does not take up much space and its essence is that the frame on which the warp threads (longitudinal) are pulled has a device in in the form of a movable bar with the possibility of bringing and pressing against the warp threads from the back side, and with fixation in this position. The surface of the strap has an arcuate profile and at least ten rows of grooves for beads strung on the weft thread (transverse) which are pulled on the strap along the rows of grooves. Then the collected beads are rolled with a light pressure from the edge with a roller, distributing each bead in its recess. After that, the bar is brought and pressed against the warp threads from the back side so that each warp thread passes between the beads and pushes the weft thread. Then, with a needle in the form of a long thin string, the weft threads are pulled. After that, the bar is released, withdrawn and the process is repeated until complete.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to visually check the entire canvas of the picture before pulling the weft threads, there is also a need to fix the weft threads on one side. The advantage of the method is accessibility and simplicity, which does not require much perseverance.

The beaded panel designed to work with a compositor is a universal component of the base for a picture of beads or beads. The panel has a smooth surface with rows of hemispherical grooves corresponding to beads with a depth equal to the lower edge of the bead hole or more in variants. The panel is made of durable plastic in the form of a flat rectangular plate with a thickness of two bead diameters, has grooves at the ends opposite the rows of grooves for winding threads with beads. A thread with beads drawn on a compositor is wound and pulled along the rows of grooves, and distributed in the grooves; Moreover, each bead selected according to the program takes its place without any special efforts. One typed thread can be calculated in the program for the entire surface of the panel. Then they fill in another similar panel and connect them into one whole picture using holes and corresponding pins on the ends of the panel. The winding threads can be additionally fixed from the rear rear surface of the panel by winding it onto a clamp with narrow grooves in the recesses.

The disadvantage of the panel is that if the thread tension is poor, the beads can be displaced from their place and, therefore, they need to be additionally fastened with glass superimposed over the picture, but pulverization or filling the grooves with a fastening component is also possible. The panel is convenient in that it does not require a frame-like device to create a picture of beads. The panels simply fit together and form the picture into a baguette. All devices and methods are intended to be used together in one technological process and to obtain one technical result.

CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The bead compositor has a folding duralumin stand in Fig. 1, in the upper part of the rack there is a bead dispenser 1, consisting of several modules having an electric actuator unit moving linearly and sequentially the shutter-rods located in the delivery units in the form of a device having vertical cylindrical passages passing down coaxially into horizontal cylindrical passages with grooves for the shutter. Below the modules there is a large funnel 2, below the large funnel there is a thread stringer 3, connected by a flexible tube to a large funnel, and a dispenser control unit 4, which is connected to the stringer with a signal wire for transmitting a command pulse from the stringer to the dispenser, and also has a shaking device for modules in figure 2 acting separately or together on the modules through their racks, which is triggered in cases of delay. The work of the typesetter is carried out in a sequence - the dispensing of the bead, confirmation from the bead with which the bead is dispensed again, but in case of an unsuccessful dispensing attempt after a configurable time, if no confirmation occurs, the program turns on the general shaking device and repeats the dispensing step. In this case, the shaking device is made in the form of a bar 1A movable on linear bearings, in Fig. 2, with mini solenoids that rotate the segments so that the module rack engages and the segments hit the rack selectively according to the program using a powerful solenoid. Together with a general shaking device in case a delay is due to a defective bead, the program activates the vibration amplification of the funnel and this throws out the defective bead.

The bead dispenser is made on the same stand as in the compositor in Fig. 1, but has a different type of the beads in Fig. 3, the dispenser is part of the compositor, works both as a separate device and with a bead for automatic throwing of beads or beads one by one, from a large number of containers for a given color scheme. The total number of containers depends on the number of distribution modules of the same design in Fig. 5, which have a base with containers in the upper part, below the base there is an electric actuator block moving linearly and sequentially the dampers-thrust located in the dispensing nodes in the form of a device having vertical cylindrical passages passing downwards coaxially into horizontal cylindrical passages with slots for the shutter of FIG. 6 having from 1 to 30 containers, which are installed in a row parallel to each other, and are connected by a connector to the control unit. The modules are located above a large funnel, with the calculation of the falling of the beads ejected by the modules into it. Further, from a large funnel, the beads are fed through an elastic tube into the stringer one by one. It is possible to use the dispenser without a stringer, for this a motion sensor is provided, and when the fingers are brought to the tube, the dispenser throws out the bead according to the program, and the fingers accept the bead. It is also possible to receive the bead on the needle in hand using the dispenser stringer in Fig. 3, which has a table support 5, a vibrating funnel 6, a control flap 7, a stand with forks 8, and contacts for a needle for bringing and placing a needle in them. In the stringer of the dispenser, a funnel 9 can be used, in Fig. 4 with the possibility of changing the diameter 10, while the movable segments-curtains 11 have inclined walls 12, when mated, forming a multifaceted funnel with a vibration device 13 installed on it, the diameter is changed using a servo motor 14, and a threaded shaft 15 connected to the shaft of the servo motor by a cardan method. When working with a stringer, beads are fed into it according to a given program from the distribution modules, and the command to dispense the next bead is sent from the stringer board to the dispenser immediately after stringing, then the dispenser throws out the next bead. The master loads the beads according to their color codes into the separate containers of the distribution modules located on the rack with the control unit. The dispenser has an electrically driven shaking vibration device that acts on the modules through their racks.

The dispensing module in FIG. 5 of FIG. 6 consists of a base 16, a holder for containers on racks 17, in which removable containers 18 with a bowl-shaped bottom are inserted, on the same racks for containers there are holders 19, into which elastic calibrated tubes 20 are inserted, suitable for the dispensing units 21, and the lower ends the tubes hang freely through passages opposite the valve openings, and do not come into contact with the valves located in the grooves of the rail with recesses; the dispensing unit is a set of parts forming a vertical cylindrical passage that passes coaxially into a horizontal cylindrical passage with grooves for the shutter 22, in the rail 23 located below on the brackets 24 attached to the base. In the first version, the lower ends of the tubes hang freely through passages opposite the flap openings, and do not come into contact with the flaps located in the grooves of the rail with recesses, and the thrust flap lies on the rail 23, in the grooves. In another embodiment, the vertical tubes from the containers pass into the holder 26, from an elastic material, the holder located under the base of the module has a vertical opening and, together with the removable segment 27, form a dispensing unit and the shutter-rod lies in its grooves. Above the flaps near the dispensing units, there is a protective corner that reflects the movement of the beads beyond the required limits. The module itself has racks 28, which serve to install the module in the compositor's frame and the possibility of raising the module above other modules for maintenance, as well as the racks are struck by an electrically driven shaking device acting on the modules. Beads are loaded into the container, which, through a calibrated hole 29, enter the vertically located tube by means of the movement of the pin-shaped pusher 30, which is tightly inserted into the flap holder on the rack, the movement of the flaps provides, in one embodiment, the solenoid actuating unit 31, in Figs. 5-7, in where each flap 33, pulls linearly and sequentially a separate solenoid 34, the solenoids are arranged in a row on a rectangular base, so that the actuator can be removed and attached to another module with different dimensions. In another embodiment, the actuating unit is solenoid-electromagnetic 32, FIGS. 5-10, in which all the dampers in turn pulls at least one solenoid 35, using cables through pulleys 36, moving the frame 37, with flexible steel segments 38, above each the damper and which is attracted by the electromagnet 39 located under the damper. In this case, the segment is lowered into the gripping hole of the shutter 40, pulls it out and in the same way returns it to its place by means of springs. In this case, the frame is in a tensioned position between the solenoid cables and the bracket 41. The block also has the ability to be removed and replaced. The flap, in all variants, pulls in turn a bead that passes into its opening 42, in FIG. Figure 8. together with this, the shutter, with the help of the holder 43, moves the pin-shaped pusher 30 on the rack. The flap also has an inclined protrusion 44, in order to avoid a delay of the bead on the flap when ejected from above its opening, and also an angle 45 is attached above the dispensing units along, in Figs. 5,8,9, so that the beads do not fly out of the required limits. The exact starting position of the shutter is provided by the stop 46 in FIG. 10. Option with two solenoids located along the edges of the module is possible.

The stringing machine consists of a steel case in the form of a box 47, in Fig. 11, which is the base with the controller and control boards located inside. On the housing there are grips that are made in the form of vertically mounted two shafts 48, located in pairs on the right and left opposite each other, on which there are two pairs of yokes 49 constituting two electrically driven grips, on thrust roller bearings 50, from the rear side connected to the solenoid 71 of Fig. 12, 13, by means of rods 51, the position of which is provided by the set screws on the posts opposite each link. On the front part of the body are front posts 52 for fastening the structure and installing on them the laser receiver 53 and the emitter 54, as well as the rear posts 55 for the set screws 56, which are necessary for the exact position of the rockers. The racks and shafts are fastened by a bar 57, to which the bracket 58 is attached, in the bracket on an elastic gasket there is a funnel 59, with a vibration device 60, in Fig. 11, To set the position of the funnel, the bracket is fixed on set screws 61. The bead passes through the braking device 62, for excluding her falling out of the funnel. Further, the vibration rotates the bead and it moves to the needle 63, the end of which is located in the center of the calibrated hole of the funnel, the bead blocks the laser beam and forms a shadow on the micro hole of the laser receiver, due to which the device spreads the upper grip and passes the bead again reduces it, then the same produces a second bottom grip. The grippers hold the needle with the upper stopper-fork 64 in Fig. 13, 14, and stops 65, the grip has two forks - an upper and a lower one, and the upper, when gripping, abuts against a flat stop on the other side, thus forming a triangular hole in the horizontal plane, which the shape corresponds to the grooves in the needle and keeps the needle motionless without the possibility of rotation along the axis. The stopper fork fits into the grooves of the needle 66, in Fig. 14, covering it from both sides, and on the other side the needle is held by the stop. The bottom fork, 67, simply covers the needle and holds it vertically. Further, the bead similarly passes through the lower grip, and in case of a delay in the lower part of the needle, it is pushed by an elastic tail 68 attached to the rod 69 of the lever mechanism 70, with a solenoid located under the grips that provides an L-shaped movement of the elastic tail attached to the rod of the device. In the front part of the body there is a recess 72 for the thread 73, through which the beads freely pass, falling down. The number of beads to be strung is shown by the display 74. The stringer can be made with three grips, the two upper grips have only one upper fork, which, when gripped, abuts against the flat stop on the other side, thus forming a triangular hole in the horizontal plane, which corresponds in shape to the grooves in the needle and holds the needle motionless without the possibility of axial rotation, and the third lower grip holds the needle vertically also with the help of one fork. The device has a seven-segment display with 4 digits to control the number of dialed beads.

The stringer also works with a funnel 9, in Fig. 4 with the possibility of changing the diameter 10, in Fig. 4, while the movable segments-curtains 11 have inclined walls 12, when mated, forming a multifaceted funnel with a vibration device 13 installed on it, changing the diameter occurs with the help of a servo motor 14, and a threaded shaft 15, connected to the shaft of the servo motor by a cardan method, but not rigidly connected so that the funnel can vibrate freely.

The needle of the thread stringer 63, has in the middle part of the recess 66, for the stopper-fork 64, having the form of a stopper, as well as one upper end of the needle in the form of a hemisphere and the other lower end in the form of a hook 75, the needle has at least four recesses located in the middle of the needle in pairs so that the planes of the grooves are relative to each other at an angle of 10 to 35 degrees.

The needle threader has a body in the form of a table stand with a stand 76, in Fig. 15, on a rack with the ability to change the height and with an adjuster 77, there is a steel base 78, on which a funnel 79 with a vibration device 80 is installed in the upper part, on an arm 81 with an elastic membrane or a funnel with a variable diameter containing a vibration device and a servo motor. The funnel has a skirt (expansion) at the outlet so that the needle does not fall out of the hole. Below the funnel on the base there is an electrically driven gripper having two shafts 82, on which two yokes 83 are rotatably mounted, on thrust bearings pressed by springs, connected by means of two rods 84, with a solenoid 85. A needle stringer uses a long needle 86, which has a the lower end is a slender ponytail with a hook 87, which is held by the grip vertically; and the upper end is exactly in the center of the funnel hole. The gripper holds the needle by means of flat forks, on one side of the double fork 88, set horizontally one above the other, and on the other side of the single fork 89, passing in a plane between the planes of the double fork. On the base, it is possible to adjust the gap between the forks using a set screw 90; at the bottom of the rack is a lock of the lower end of the needle in the form of a grip-pin 91, which holds the needle from below. The bead falls into the funnel, the vibration of which moves it to the needle located in the center of the calibrated hole, then the laser receiver 92 is triggered and the bead falls down the needle. Then the beads are manually pushed onto the thread, removing the lower end from the grip, without removing the upper end of the needle from the upper grip. The device has the ability to lengthen the needle using a long string needle using the extension in FIG. 16 which is attached to the lower part of the stringer stand and is made in the form of a long rail 93, with at least one transparent tube 95 mounted on light spring hangers 94, with a shallow bell at the upper end 96. The upper end of the tube extends into the recess of the device body 97. The needle-string is located in the tubes and its lower end, which has a thin tail with a loop 98, is fixed with a grip-clothespin. To remove the beads on a thread, the needle-string does not need to be removed from the upper grips and tubes. To control the number of strung beads, the device has a seven-segment display with 4 digits.

The method of bead weaving is carried out using rectangular sections with an arched profile and holes with pins for connecting to each other, which, having connected in accordance with the size format of the future picture, are fixed and placed horizontally in the form of a table. Arcuate sections form a table with an arched surface. These sections can be made of hard plastic so that they have a smooth working surface and bead recesses designed to fit into each bead recess so that the bead opening is above the table surface. The notches are arranged in even rows at the same distance from each other. Fig. 17 shows a general example of such a table 99, folded from sections. The table along the edges should be able to temporarily tighten the weft threads 100 (transverse), and the threads can be prepared using the table surface, winding them in pieces of the required dimensions, which in turn are then removed one at a time and fed into the compositor in Fig. 1. After a thread of one row of beads is set on a segment, the thread is taken and looped on one side and then pulled together with the beads 101 in Fig. 17, the other end of the thread having a margin for the entire width of the weft is temporarily fixed along a row of grooves. Then take a roller with a handle, 102, in Fig. 18 and roll the collected beads 103. In this case, the beads each pass sequentially into its own recess 104. Thus, the whole picture is sequentially filled, checked and, if necessary, replacing one or more beads, using a needle-string with a hook, pull a part of the beads onto it and eliminate the defect by laying then in the same way. After that, take the frame 105, with the threads of the base 106 stretched, with a gap equal to the grooves and beads on the table and apply it over the entire surface, while tightening the arcuate shape of the table 107. In this case, the frame has the ability to tighten the threads of the arcuate surface due to the spring structure. Then, with a thin and long needle-string 108, with a rounded end, and a hook at the other end, the other free end of the weft thread 109 is pulled, the ends are released and tied. The needle-string can also be pushed automatically by hook forward using the electric drive moving along the frame with the help of a servo motor.

The low method is applicable in home bead weaving and is carried out using the frame 105, in Fig. 17, with warp threads (longitudinal) stretched over it with the same clearance. In this case, the frame contains a bar 110, with a surface having an arcuate profile and hemispherical recesses located in at least ten rows, at a distance corresponding to the warp threads. The recesses have a depth at which the bead hole is above the surface of the bar. Weft threads (transverse) with selected beads are temporarily pulled on the bar along the rows of grooves and fixed using narrow grooves. The beads are distributed in rows of grooves on the bar using a roller 102, rolling it over the beads 103 from the edge. The frame also has the ability to bring the bar from the rear in FIG. 18, and pressing it against the warp threads so that the threads pass between the beads and fit the arcuate surface of the bar. Having pressed the bar with beads in this way, a long needle-string 108 is pulled through the entire line of beads and then, having hooked on the needle-string, the weft thread is pulled and the ends are fastened. In this way, the whole picture is performed sequentially.

The bead panel is made of durable plastic in the form of a flat rectangular plate in Fig. 19, with a thickness of two bead diameters. The panel has a smooth surface with grooves 111, located in rows at the same distance from each other, having a hemispherical shape corresponding to beads with a depth of one quarter to half the diameter of the bead in variants. And also narrow grooves for threads at the ends 112, deepening from the back side with the possibility of clamping the thread. The thread 113 collected on the compositor is wound with beads and pulled onto the panel along the rows of grooves, while distributing the beads in the grooves by rolling with a roller, and the threads are fixed by clamping in the grooves. For additional fixation from the rear side of the panel, the thread is wound around the latches in the recesses 114. There are holes 115 at the ends of the panel, and pins 116 designed to connect the panels together in rows, first one row then the second row is connected to the first. If necessary, so that the beads do not move out of their places from the recesses, it is possible to additionally fasten them with glass superimposed on top of the picture, but it is possible to spray or fill the recesses with beads with a fastening component.

To implement the invention, it is necessary to comply with a number of conditions necessary for the stable operation of the main mechanical units. Namely: the funnel of the stringer must be made of wear-resistant plastic or an alternative material and have the minimum dimensions to implement the ability to throw out defective beads by increasing vibration. The lower parts of the dispensing units, such as the rail and the removable segment, are made of a hard wear-resistant material, and the upper parts, such as the elastic tube and the holder with a vertical opening, are made of an elastic material such as polyurethane or the like. It is also possible to make the entire part in which the damper-rod is made of elastic material. In this case, the material of the dispensing units and all the nodes of the passage of beads must have a low coefficient of accumulation of static electricity and have a low coefficient of friction. All bead holes made in the hard parts of the device have the same diameter for a specific bead standard. The diameter ratio for beads is as follows: beads from 2.2 mm to 2.4 mm, the hole for it in hard passages is exactly 2.6 mm, the tolerance is +0.05. in elastic tolerance can be +0.15

The top of the dispensing container openings have rounded edges. In the version of the dispensing unit with a free hanging tube, the tube itself must be made of elastic material, but at the same time have a firm seal at the place of its fitting into the holder so that its opening does not decrease. The lower cut of the tube has the shape of a semicircle on the side through which the bead comes out, the gap with the shutter is set for a certain size and format of the beads, the hole of the tube passes exactly coaxially into the hole of the shutter.

Dispenser solenoids must have sufficient power and travel for all bead sizes. A large funnel inside can have ribs-partitions along the movement of the beads, which will accelerate their entry into the stringer, but at the same time, a braking device must be used above the stringer funnel. The vibration of the beater funnel must be able to be adjusted to the optimum power. The laser receiver is tightly closed with an opaque material and a 0.2 mm hole is made in it; the laser beam is wide enough up to 2 mm. The motor wires and the funnel vibration motor itself are shielded in order to avoid electromagnetic interference to the laser receiver. The stringers must be fitted with additional springs to enhance the convergence of the grippers. In this case, the wings and shafts are made of solid steel, they are pressed by springs to the bearings on the shaft. The jaw forks must be of sufficient wear resistance and hardness and can be accurately positioned on the wings using the pins. The threading funnel has a micro setting for centering the needle. All individual metal parts of the stringer are connected with screws. All individual parts of the distribution module, made of plastic, are connected to each other on self-tapping screws, and metal parts on screws. The grips of the stringer are pulled apart in turn, the approximate time: first pair 200ms, pause 50ms, second 200ms, pause 50ms, and third pair 200ms. These values are averaged for all sizes of beads and can be changed, because they depend on the accuracy of the technical parameters and settings of the bead grips. The distribution modules are connected to the control unit using a cable with a multi-pin connector, while the module connectors for the modules should be placed on one board. The program should have: the ability to register all the moments of delays and stops of the typist's work, adjust the time parameters of devices and numbering of all process steps, their sectors, and also display all sectors of the modules, their activity and numbers corresponding to the numbers of the sectors of the modules. All other parameters, such as the size of the dispenser container, their number in the module, the size of the machine itself, the stringer as a whole, including the needle, as well as the use of other types of electric drives, do not affect the performance of the devices.

All of the above conclusions were made as a result of testing the operation of the invention in practice. Practical tests were carried out to check the functionality of the declared devices. The devices of the module were made in a prototype method, parts were ordered that approximately corresponded to the drawings in the figures, and the operation of all variants was checked. Tests have shown that these devices have stable performance and reliability. The thread and needle stringer was made of custom-made parts. In a conventional needle, grooves were made to match the gripper forks. The stringers have shown reliable and stable performance. The weaving method has also been tested with custom-made pieces and a 0.25mm fine string for 2.2-2.4mm beads. A bead panel mockup was made. All tests passed with a positive result. The work of the typesetter was checked and the picture was made in a new way.
