In the logical treatment of pattern producing signals, an algorithm for the elimination of parts of the knitting pattern is described.
Such elimination gives large scorpe and versatility of patterning in circular knitting machine. In order to knit a fabric with partially eliminated pattern without regard to the pattern producing signals, the signal “1” is sent to the actuators being responsible for knitting the base color of the fabric, and the signal “0” to the remaining actuators for the duration needed.
To eliminate the optional section of the pattern, it is required to know the relation between the numbers of the cylinder needle and the actuator during the knitting action is continued. This relation is known from the count of the Counter For Reading in the control circuit.
The following notations are used in this paper:
N: numbers of actuator,
n: numbers of color in the knitting pattern,
Ab: the
b-th actuator,
M: number of cylinder needle,
MA: number of needle between the actuators,
Mc: number of needle needed to knit one course of the fabric,
Ms_??_
Me: pattern eliminating section,
Ms: number of the start needle of pattern elimination,
Me: number of the end needle of pattern elimination,
Sb: count of the counter for reading corresponding to
Ms for
Ay,
Eb: count of the counter for reading corresponding to
Me for
Ab.
According to the flow chart given in Fig. 4, the calculation to get the values
Sb and
Eb is performed under given conditions,
N,
n,
M,
Ms and
Me.
An example of the additional circuit for the partial elimination of patterning is illustrated in Fig. 2
