Abstract

The embroidery machine assembly has machine frames (11,12) flanking a service passage (15), linked by upper struts (13). The grids (21,23) are at the frames, each with a stretched fabric (25,27) for embroidery. A needle trolley at each frame has a number of embroidery points, and a common control operates both half sections of the machine, with a drive which moves both grids vertically in the same direction and laterally in opposite directions. The embroidery machine has a service passage which gives access at the needle side and the shuttle side. The upper ends of the machine frames are held together by struts or an assembly of struts. The grids are moved by servo motors. An Independent claim is included for an embroidery operation, to embroider identical patterns on at least two parallel fabrics. The movement components of the embroidery needles at one needle trolley (17,19) are opposed to the movement components of the needles at the other trolley (19,17). Preferred Features: The movement components of the shuttle mechanism (43) at one machine frame are opposed to the movement components of the shuttle mechanism (45) at the other machine frame.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stickmaschine mit zwei oder mehr durch Verbindungsmittel miteinander verbundenen Maschinengestellen, in welchen je ein Gatter und eine Anzahl von diesen Gattern zugeordneten Stickstellen mit den entsprechenden Stickwerkzeugen angeordnet sind, einem zwischen den Maschinengestellen angeordnetem Bedienungsgang, der Zutritt zu den Stickstellen gewährt, Antriebsmitteln zum Antrieb der Gatter und der Stickstellen, und einer Steuereinheit zur Steuerung der Gatter und der Stickstellen.The invention relates to an embroidery machine with two or more by connecting means interconnected machine frames, in each of which a gate and a number of embroidery points assigned to these gates with the appropriate embroidery tools are arranged, an operating aisle arranged between the machine frames, access to the embroidery points is granted, drive means for driving the gates and the Embroidery points, and a control unit for controlling the gates and the embroidery points.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum synchronen Sticken gleicher Muster auf mindestens zwei Stickböden mittels einer Stickmaschine, die für jeden Stickboden ein Gatter aufweist, das in bezug auf einen sogenannten Nadelwagen, der Vielzahl von mit Stickwerkzeugen ausgestatteten Stickstellen aufweist, von Stich zu Stich verschiebbar ist.The invention also relates to a method for synchronously embroidering the same pattern at least two embroidery bases by means of an embroidery machine, one gate for each embroidery base has that with respect to a so-called needle carriage, the plurality of with Has embroidery tools equipped embroidery, can be moved from stitch to stitch.

Schon seit über 90 Jahren sind Bestrebungen im Gange, die Kapazität von Stickmaschinen zu erhöhen. So wurden immer längere Maschinen gebaut. Je länger aber eine Maschine ist, desto kleiner ist die maximal zulässige Tourenzahl. So wurden dann Stickmaschinen gebaut, bei welchen mehrere Gatter entweder parallel nebeneinander oder senkrecht übereinander angeordnet sind. Solche Maschinen haben auch den Vorteil, dass durch die gleiche Steuereinheit alle Gatter und Stickwerkzeuge gesteuert werden. Als Literaturstelle für die erstgenannte Art von Maschinen können die DE-227838, DE-237421 und US-2030495 angeführt werden. Sie zeigen Stickmaschinen mit parallel nebeneinander angeordneten gegenseitig ausbalancierten Gattern, wobei das eine Gatter mit dem darin eingespannten Stoff stets die umgekehrte Bewegung des andern macht. Solche Stickmaschinen konnten sich jedoch in der Praxis nicht durchsetzen, weil ihnen viele Nachteile anhafteten. Ein wichtiger Nachteil besteht darin, dass bei einem Gatter ein um 180 Grad verschwenktes Stickbild erzeugt wird. Auf weitere Nachteile wird später noch näher eingegangen. Angesichts der den Maschinen der erstgenannten Art anhaftenden Nachteile verlief daher die Entwicklung in Richtung der Maschinen der zweitgenannten Art, der zweistöckigen Stickmaschinen. Solche sind seit längerer Zeit bekannt. Sie sind mit einem grossen Gatter zum Aufspannen von zwei Stickböden übereinander in einer gemeinsamen Ebene ausgerüstet und weisen vor jedem Stickboden einen sogenannten Nadelwagen mit einer Vielzahl von Stickstellen in einer Reihe auf. Die Bewegungen der Stickwerkzeuge auf beiden Stockwerken sind synchronisiert. Es wird so auf beiden Stickböden gleichzeitig das gleiche Muster gestickt. So zeigt beispielsweise das Werk von Schöner, Spitzen, Leipzig 1980, S. 311, 312 eine solche doppelstöckige Stickmaschine. Diese als Hochleistungsstickmaschine beschriebene Stickmaschine läuft mit maximal 170 Umdrehungen pro Minute. Ein Bild einer zweistöckigen Stickmaschine findet sich auch in der EP 0 666 351 B1.For over 90 years, efforts have been made to increase the capacity of embroidery machines increase. So longer and longer machines were built. But the longer a machine is, the more the maximum permitted number of tours is smaller. So then embroidery machines were built at which multiple gates either parallel to each other or vertically one above the other are arranged. Such machines also have the advantage of being the same Control unit all gates and embroidery tools can be controlled. As a reference for the The first-mentioned type of machine can be found in DE-227838, DE-237421 and US-2030495 be cited. They show embroidery machines with juxtaposed in parallel mutually balanced gates, the one gate with the material clamped therein always makes the opposite movement of the other. Such embroidery machines could however, not enforce in practice because they had many disadvantages. An important The disadvantage is that in the case of a gate, the embroidery image is pivoted by 180 degrees is produced. Further disadvantages will be discussed in more detail later. Given the The disadvantages inherent in machines of the first kind therefore developed in Direction of the machines of the second type, the two-tier embroidery machines. Such have been known for a long time. They are with a large gate to span two Embroidery floors are arranged one above the other in a common level and point in front of everyone Embroidery floor a so-called needle carriage with a large number of embroidery points in a row on. The movements of the embroidery tools on both floors are synchronized. It the same pattern is embroidered on both embroidery bases at the same time. For example, shows the work of Schoener, Spitzen, Leipzig 1980, pp. 311, 312, such a two-story Embroidery machine. This embroidery machine, described as a high-performance embroidery machine, also runs maximum 170 revolutions per minute. A picture of a two-story embroidery machine is found also in EP 0 666 351 B1.

Um die Stickstellen auch im oberen Stockwerk bedienen zu können, weisen doppelstöckige Maschinen vorn und hinten, also nadel- und schiffliseitig, einen Laufsteg auf, zu welchem eine oder mehrere Treppen hinaufführen. Mit zweistöckigen Maschinen kann nahezu das gleiche Produktionsvolumen erzielt werden wie mit zwei einstöckigen Maschinen. Eine zweistöckige Maschine ist zudem wesentlich billiger als zwei einstöckige Maschinen. In vielen Fällen spielte auch der geringe Platzbedarf für die Wahl einer zweistöckigen Maschine eine Rolle. Den Vorteilen zweistöckiger Maschinen stehen aber gewichtige Nachteile gegenüber. So wird die Bedienung von zweistöckigen Maschinen durch den Umstand erschwert, dass die Bedienungsperson immer wieder die Treppe zum jeweiligen Laufsteg hinauf- und hinabsteigen muss. Auch wird durch den Laufsteg der Zugang zu der unteren Reihe von Stickstellen erschwert. Von besonderem Nachteil ist aber vor allem die Neigung solcher Maschinen zu starken Vibrationen. Dadurch wird auch die maximale Stickleistung begrenzt. Die Ursache der starken Vibrationen liegt bei der Verdopplung der Anzahl der Stickwerkzeuge und der Grösse des Gatters. Dazu kommt noch, dass das hohe Maschinengestell, auf das die bewegten Massen Vibrationskräfte übertragen, bis zu seiner Verankerung im Fundament einen langen Hebelarm bildet.In order to be able to use the embroidery sites on the upper floor, there are two-story ones Machines on the front and rear, i.e. on the needle and ship side, have a catwalk to which lead up one or more stairs. With two-story machines, almost that can be done the same production volume can be achieved as with two single-story machines. A two-story machines are also much cheaper than two one-story machines. In many Cases also played a role in the small space requirement for the choice of a two-story machine Role. The advantages of two-story machines are offset by major disadvantages. The operation of two-story machines is made difficult by the fact that the Operator up and down the stairs to the respective catwalk must descend. The catwalk also gives access to the bottom row of Embroidery sites difficult. The inclination of such is particularly disadvantageous Machines to strong vibrations. This also limits the maximum embroidery performance. The cause of the strong vibrations lies in doubling the number of Embroidery tools and the size of the gate. Add to that the high Machine frame to which the moving masses transmit vibratory forces up to its Anchoring in the foundation forms a long lever arm.

Ein weiterer Nachteil zweistöckiger Maschinen besteht darin, dass sie eine relativ geringe Stickhöhe aufweisen. Unter Stickhöhe versteht man die vertikale Dimension, über welche der Stickboden bestickt werden kann. Nun werden von Stickern und Stoffdesignern immer grössere Stickhöhen gefordert. Die gegenwärtige Stickhöhe von 125 cm sollte mindestens auf 135 cm, vorzugsweise auf 165 cm, vergrössert werden können. Dies erfordert wiederum ein grösseres und somit schwereres Gatter. Weiter verlangt bereits eine Vergrösserung der Stickhöhe um 20 cm bei zweigeschossigen Maschinen mehr als 40 cm zusätzliche Höhe der Maschine. Dementsprechend höher wird das Maschinengestell und somit die Hebelwirkung für die Vibrationen verursachenden Kräfte. Sollen die Vibrationen in Grenzen gehalten werden, erfordert dies eine dementsprechend starke und schwere Konstruktion des Maschinengestells. Einer solchen Ausbildung der Maschine sind aber wiederum von der Abmessungs-, Gewichts-, Transport- und Kostenseite her Grenzen gesetzt. Praktisch bedeutet dies aber, dass die Stickleistung doppelstöckiger Maschinen nicht wesentlich über die gegenwärtige maximale Stickleistung, die bei solchen Maschinen in der Grössenordnung von etwa 350 Umdrehungen pro Minute liegt, erhöht werden kann. Nun besitzt aber die gegenwärtig auf dem Markt befindliche einstöckige Stickmaschine "Lässer MD1 Multidrive" bereits eine maximale Stickleistung von 600 Umdrehungen pro Minute. Sie vermag also bereits mehr zu leisten, als eine herkömmliche doppelstöckige Stickmaschine.Another disadvantage of two-story machines is that they are relatively small Have embroidery height. The embroidery height is the vertical dimension over which the Embroidery floor can be embroidered. Now stickers and fabric designers are always larger embroidery heights required. The current embroidery height of 125 cm should be at least 135 cm, preferably to 165 cm, can be enlarged. Again, this requires a larger and therefore heavier gate. Furthermore, an enlargement of the Embroidery height by 20 cm for two-story machines more than 40 cm additional height of the Machine. Accordingly, the machine frame and thus the leverage becomes higher for the forces causing the vibrations. The vibrations should be kept within limits be, this requires a correspondingly strong and heavy construction of the Machine frame. Such a design of the machine are in turn from Limits in terms of dimensions, weight, transport and costs. Practically means However, this means that the embroidery performance of two-story machines does not significantly exceed the current maximum embroidery performance, which is of the order of magnitude for such machines about 350 revolutions per minute, can be increased. But now she has "Lässer MD1 Multidrive" single-tier embroidery machine currently on the market already a maximum embroidery performance of 600 revolutions per minute. So it can already do more than a conventional double-decker embroidery machine.

Nachteilig ist, dass einer grossen Bauhöhe vielfach die relativ niedrige Bauhöhe einer bestehenden Maschinenhalle im Wege steht.Als nachteilig erweist sich auch die durch das massive Maschinengestell bedingte Breite der Maschine. Besonders nachteilig ist die Notwendigkeit des ständigen Treppensteigens für das Bedienungspersonal.The disadvantage is that a large overall height is often the relatively low overall height of one existing machine hall in the way. Also proves to be disadvantageous by the massive machine frame related width of the machine. This is particularly disadvantageous Necessity of constantly climbing stairs for the operating personnel.

Nachfolgend soll nun auf die eingangs erwähnten Druckschriften betreffend Stickmaschinen mit parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Gattern näher eingegangen werden.In the following, reference should now be made to the publications mentioned above relating to embroidery machines with gates arranged next to each other in parallel.

Die DE-237421 betrifft eine Stickmaschine mit zwei Gatter, die einander im Gleichgewicht halten und dadurch gekennzeichnet sind, dass jedes einzelne Gatter für sich unmittelbar vom Automaten angetrieben wird. Die beiden Gatter sind an den Enden an zwei über Radsegmente laufende Bänder aufgehängt, so dass sie einander das Gleichgewicht halten. Auch in horizontaler Richtung sind die Gatter mittels Bänder miteinander verbunden. Wie richtig vom gleichen Erfinder in der DE-227838 ausgeführt wird, macht bei einer solchen Stickmaschine das eine Gatter mit dem darin eingespannten Stoff stets die umgekehrte Bewegung des anderen Gatters, so dass ein gleichzeitiges Bohren bzw. Stüpfeln an beiden Gattern mit den bisher gebräuchlichen Vorrichtungen ausgeschlossen ist. Zur Lösung dieses Problems werden in der Patentschrift verschiedene Vorschläge gemacht. Ein Vorschlag geht dahin, beim einen Gatter die Bohrer über den Nadeln und die Stüpfel unter den Nadeln und beim anderen Gatter die Bohrer unter den Nadeln und die Stüpfel über den Nadeln anzuordnen. Dies ist jedoch eine unpraktische Lösung, welche zwei verschiedene Vorrichtungen benötigt, wobei bei der einen Vorrichtung das Einfädeln stark erschwert ist.DE-237421 relates to an embroidery machine with two gates, which are in balance hold and are characterized in that each individual gate directly from the Automat is powered. The two gates are over at the ends on two Running segments suspended from running segments so that they keep each other in balance. The gates are also connected to one another in the horizontal direction by means of bands. How is correctly carried out by the same inventor in DE-227838, with such Embroidery machine the one gate with the fabric clamped in it always the reverse Movement of the other gate, so that simultaneous drilling or stubbing on both Gate with the previously common devices is excluded. To solve this Various proposals are made in the patent to solve the problem. A suggestion goes there, at one gate, the drills over the needles and the stipples under the needles and in the other gate, the drills under the needles and the stipples over the needles to arrange. However, this is an impractical solution, which is two different ones Devices required, with one device the threading is very difficult.

Bei den Stickmaschinen gemäss der DE-237421 und der DE-227838 sind die beiden Maschinengestelle freistehend. Eine Verbesserung des Vibrationsverhaltens wird daher bei diesen Stickmaschinen nicht erzielt. Demgegenüber besitzt die US-2030495 ein gemeinsames Maschinengestell für beide Gatter, die ebenfalls im Gleichgewicht an Bändern aufgehängt sind, wobei ein Gang vorgesehen ist, welcher die Bedienung beider Schiffchenseiten ermöglicht. Da die Nadeln aussen auf beiden Seiten der Maschine angeordnet sind, wirken die Massenkräfte der horizontal sich bewegenden Stickwerkzeuge einander entgegen, so dass die Maschine vibrationsfreier arbeiten kann und höhere Stickgeschwindigkeiten erlaubt als dies mit einer Maschine, welche nur ein Gatter aufweist, möglich ist.The two are in the embroidery machines according to DE-237421 and DE-227838 Freestanding machine frames. An improvement in vibration behavior is therefore considered not achieved with these embroidery machines. In contrast, US-2030495 has a common one Machine frame for both gates, which are also suspended in equilibrium on belts are, wherein a passage is provided which controls both sides of the boat enables. Since the needles are arranged on the outside on both sides of the machine, they work the mass forces of the horizontally moving embroidery tools counter to each other, so that the machine can work without vibrations and allows higher embroidery speeds than this is possible with a machine that has only one gate.

Auch bei der Stickmaschine der US 2030495 sind die Gatter an Bändern aufgehängt. Ausdrücklich wird erwähnt, dass sich die Gatter vertikal in einander entgegengesetzten Richtungen und in horizontal gleicher Richtung bewegen, und dass die Nadeln aussen und die Schiffchen zwischen den beiden Rahmen des Maschinengestells angeordnet sind.Also in the embroidery machine of US 2030495, the gates are hung on ribbons. It is expressly mentioned that the gates are vertically opposed to each other Directions and move horizontally in the same direction, and that the needles outside and the boats are arranged between the two frames of the machine frame.

Bei allen in den drei erwähnten Druckschriften offenbarten Stickmaschinen sind die beiden Gatter an Bändern aufgehängt und halten einander im Gleichgewichts, wobei bei einer Abwärtsbewegung des einen Gatters das andere Gatter eine Aufwärtsbewegung ausführt. Infolgedessen sind die beim Sticken erzeugten Stickbilder um 180 Grad zueinander versetzt. Dies bedingt für das Bohren und Stüpfeln eine entsprechende Ausbildung der Maschine, wie dies beispielsweise in der DE-227838 vorgeschlagen wird. In der Praxis hat sich dies jedoch nicht bewährt, und es werden keine solchen Maschinen gebaut.In all embroidery machines disclosed in the three publications mentioned, the two are Gates hung on ribbons and keep each other in balance, being at one Downward movement of one gate, the other gate executes an upward movement. As a result, the embroidery images created during embroidery are offset from each other by 180 degrees. This requires appropriate training of the machine for drilling and stubbing, such as this is proposed for example in DE-227838. In practice, however, this has been the case not proven, and no such machines are built.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ausgehend vom Stand der Technik gemäss der US-2030495 eine Stickmaschine zu schaffen, welche die wesentlichen Vorteile von zweistöckigen Maschinen aufweist, mit hohen Drehzahlen betrieben werden kann und auch relativ grosse Stickhöhen ermöglicht.It is an object of the present invention, starting from the prior art according to the US-2030495 to provide an embroidery machine which has the essential advantages of has two-story machines, can be operated at high speeds and also allows relatively large embroidery heights.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Bei dieser Maschine wird auf beiden Gattern gleichzeitig das gleiche Muster in der gleichen Lage gestickt, wobei die parallel zueinander angeordneten Maschinengestelle die Tendenz haben, in einander entgegengesetzten Richtungen zu schwingen. Da die Maschinengestelle miteinander verbunden sind, heben sich diese Schwingungen gegenseitig weitgehend auf. Wenn es auch praktisch unmöglich ist, völlige Schwingungsfreiheit zu erreichen, ist doch eine erhebliche Reduktion der Schwingungen oder Vibrationen möglich. Dies wiederum gestattet es, die Stickmaschine schneller laufen zu lassen als bekannte einstöckige Maschinen und wesentlich schneller als doppelstöckige Maschinen. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil gegenüber doppelstöckigen Maschinen besteht auch darin, dass die Maschine mit einer wesentlich grösseren Stickhöhe gebaut werden kann. Da ferner grundsätzlich für alle Gatter und Stickstellen nur eine Steuereinheit notwendig ist und auch eine Antriebseinheit zum Antrieb aller Stickstellen ausreicht, besitzt die erfindungsgemässe Stickmaschine ähnliche Kostenvorteile wie eine doppelstöckige Maschine.In this machine, the same pattern is used in the same way on both gates Embroidered layer, with the machine frames arranged parallel to each other the tendency have to swing in opposite directions. Because the machine frames are interconnected, these vibrations largely cancel each other out. Even if it is practically impossible to achieve complete freedom from vibrations, one is considerable reduction of the oscillations or vibrations possible. This in turn allows it it to make the embroidery machine run faster than known single-story machines and much faster than double-deck machines. A major advantage over Double-decker machines also consist of having the machine with one essential larger embroidery height can be built. Since also basically for all gates and Embroidery sites only a control unit is necessary and also a drive unit for driving sufficient for all embroidery sites, the embroidery machine according to the invention has similar ones Cost advantages like a two-story machine.

Der Bedienungsgang gewährt entweder nadelseitigen oder schiffliseitigen Zutritt. Im Gegensatz zu einer doppelstöckigen Maschine, wo die Bedienungsperson immer wieder Treppe hinauf- und hinuntersteigen muss, ermöglicht der Bedienungsgang eine besonders effiziente Ueberwachung und Bedienung der Stickmaschine. Gleichzeitig wird eine weitgehend symmetrische Anordnung der beiden Maschinenhälften erreicht.The operating aisle grants access either on the needle side or on the ship side. in the Contrary to a double-deck machine, where the operator keeps going The service aisle makes it particularly easy to climb and descend stairs efficient monitoring and operation of the embroidery machine. At the same time largely symmetrical arrangement of the two machine halves achieved.

Weil die Maschinengestelle im oberen Teil durch Streben miteinander verbunden sind, heben sich die bei den vertikalen Gatterbewegungen entstehenden Kräfte weitgehend gegenseitig auf, und es wird auch eine besonders starre Konstruktion erreicht. Weiter ist es zweckmässig, die Maschinengestelle an den Enden mit einer Strebenanordnung zu versehen, damit die in Längsrichtung der Maschinengestelle in gegensätzlichen Richtungen auftretenden Kräfte einander entgegenwirken.Because the machine frames in the upper part are connected by struts, lift the forces arising from the vertical gate movements largely mutually and a particularly rigid construction is also achieved. It is also advisable to provide the machine frames with a strut arrangement at the ends so that the in Forces occurring in opposite directions in the longitudinal direction of the machine frames counteract each other.

Die Erfindung umfasst auch ein Verfahren zum synchronen Sticken gleicher Muster in gleicher Lage auf mindestens zwei Stickböden mittels einer Stickmaschine, die für jeden Stickboden ein Gatter aufweist, das in bezug auf einen sogenannten Nadelwagen von Stich zu Stich verschiebbar ist. Beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren werden also die Gatter derart bewegt, dass eine Bewegungskomponente des einen Gatters, nämlich die horizontale, entgegengesetzt zur entsprechenden Bewegungskomponente des anderen Gatters ist. Demgegenüber sind die vertikalen Bewegungskomponenten in der gleichen Richtung. Mit anderen Worten, bewegt sich beispielsweise das eine Gatter nach oben und nach links, so bewegt sich das andere Gatter ebenfalls nach oben, jedoch nach rechts.The invention also includes a method for synchronously embroidering the same pattern in same position on at least two embroidery floors by means of an embroidery machine that is suitable for everyone Embroidery floor has a gate that is in relation to a so-called needle carriage from stitch to Stitch is displaceable. In the method according to the invention, the gates are thus moves that a movement component of the one gate, namely the horizontal, opposite to the corresponding movement component of the other gate. In contrast, the vertical motion components are in the same direction. With in other words, for example, the one gate moves up and to the left, so the other gate also moves up, but to the right.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben. Es zeigt:The invention is described below using exemplary embodiments. It shows:

Im Schnitt ist in Figur 1 schematisch eine Schiffchenstickmaschine dargestellt, welche zwei Maschinengestelle 11,12 aufweist, die oben mit Streben 13 miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen den beiden Maschinengestellen befindet sich ein Bedienungsgang 15. Die sogenannten Nadelwagen 17,19 sind einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet und können vom Bedienungsgang 15 her leicht bedient werden. Im Gegensatz zum bekannten Stand der Technik bietet also der Bedienungsgang nadelseitigen Zutritt, was die Bedienung der Maschine erleichtert. Jeder Nadelwagen 17,19 weist in bekannter Weise eine Vielzahl von Stickstellen auf. In jedem Maschinengestell 11,12 ist ein Gatter 21,23 bzw. verschiebbar angeordnet, in welchem der Stickboden 25,27 bzw. aufgespannt ist. Für die Stickwerkzeuge in den beiden Nadelwagen 17,19 ist ein gemeinsames Antriebsorgan 29 vorgesehen. Als Antriebsorgan dient zweckmässigerweise ein Servomotor. Je ein Zahnriemen 31,33 dient dem Antrieb der Antriebswelle 35 bzw. 37 für den Nadelwagen 17 bzw. 19 und der Antriebswelle 39 bzw. 41 für den Schiffchenmechanismus 43, bzw. 45. Statt einem gemeinsamen Antriebsorgan 29 kann auch für jedes Gestell ein separater Servomotor zur Anwendung gelangen. Auch zum Antrieb des jeweiligen Gatters 21,23 in vertikaler und horizontaler Richtung dienen wie bei modernen Stickmaschinen üblich von der Steuereinheit gesteuerte Servomotoren (nicht eingezeichnet).In section, a shuttle embroidery machine is shown schematically in FIG. 1, which two Has machine frames 11, 12, which are connected at the top with struts 13. There is an operating aisle 15 between the two machine frames so-called needle carriages 17, 19 are arranged opposite one another and can can be easily operated from the aisle 15. In contrast to the known state of the art Technology therefore offers access to the needle on the side, which is what the operation of the Machine relieved. Each needle carriage 17, 19 has a plurality of in a known manner Embroidery on. A gate 21, 23 or is displaceable in each machine frame 11, 12 arranged in which the embroidery base 25, 27 or is stretched. For the embroidery tools in a common drive element 29 is provided for the two needle carriages 17, 19. As A drive motor is expediently used as a servo motor. One toothed belt 31, 33 serves this Drive the drive shaft 35 and 37 for the needle carriage 17 and 19 and the drive shaft 39 or 41 for the shuttle mechanism 43 or 45. Instead of a common one Drive member 29 can also use a separate servo motor for each frame reach. Also for driving the respective gate 21, 23 in vertical and horizontal Direction, as is customary in modern embroidery machines, is controlled by the control unit Servomotors (not shown).

Im Betrieb der Maschine erfolgen die Auf- und Abwärtsbewegungen der Gatter 21,23 synchron. Da sich also beide Gatter 21,23 gleichzeitig in der gleichen vertikalen Richtung bewegen, bewirken sie aufgrund ihrer spiegelbildlichen Anordnung an den Maschinengestellen 11,12 Kräfte, welche leichte Kippbewegungen dieser Gestelle 11,12 zueinander und voneinander verursachen würden, wenn diese nicht durch Streben 13 miteinander verbunden wären. Dank der Streben heben sich diese bei den vertikalen Gatterbewegungen entstehende Kräfte weitgehend gegenseitig auf. Entsprechendes gilt auch für die durch die bewegten Massen in den Nadelwagen 17,19 und den Schiffchenmechanismen 43,45 verursachten Kräfte. Durch die beschriebene Gestaltung der Maschine wird somit ein weitgehend vibrationsfreier Lauf der Maschine auch bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten ermöglicht.The gates 21, 23 move up and down during operation of the machine synchronous. Since both gates 21, 23 are simultaneously in the same vertical direction move, they cause due to their mirror image arrangement on the Machine frames 11, 12 forces which slight tilting movements of these frames 11, 12 to each other and from each other if they were not caused by struts 13 would be connected. Thanks to the struts, these stand out in the vertical Forces arising from gate movements largely mutually. The same applies for the moving masses in the needle carriage 17, 19 and Shuttle mechanisms 43.45 caused forces. Through the described design of the The machine will therefore run largely vibration-free, even at high speeds Speeds.

Im Betrieb der Maschine bewegen sich die Gatter 21,23 horizontal in einander entgegengesetzten Richtungen. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die Enden der beiden Maschinengestelle derart miteinander durch eine Strebenanordnung 14 verbunden, dass die in Längsrichtung der Maschinengestelle auftretenden Kräfte einander entgegenwirken.When the machine is operating, the gates 21, 23 move horizontally into one another opposite directions. As shown in Fig. 2, the ends of the two machine frames connected to one another by a strut arrangement 14 such that the in the longitudinal direction the machine frame forces counteract each other.

Figur 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel, welches sich von jenem der Figur 1 dadurch unterscheidet, dass die Nadelwagen 17,19 aussen an der Maschine angeordnet sind, so dass der Bedienungsgang 15 schiffliseitigen Zutritt gewährt.Figure 3 shows a further embodiment, which differs from that of Figure 1 distinguishes that the needle carriages 17, 19 are arranged on the outside of the machine, so that the service aisle 15 grants access on the ship side.

Wie die Figur 4 zeigt, ist es möglich, die Anzahl der Maschinengestelle samt Gatter, usw. zum Beispiel zu verdoppeln oder zu verdreifachen. Die Stickmaschine von Fig. 4 entspricht dabei in der Bauart einer Kombination der Maschinen von Fig. 1 und 3.As FIG. 4 shows, it is possible to increase the number of machine frames including gates, etc. Example to double or triple. 4 corresponds to the embroidery machine in the design of a combination of the machines of FIGS. 1 and 3.

Bei zweistöckigen Maschinen werden bei einer Erhöhung der Stickhöhe unter Umständen Bauhöhen erreicht, die das Aufstellen der Maschinen in bestehenden Gebäulichkeiten verunmöglichen. Wenn aber die Raumhöhe keine Probleme bietet, kann die vorliegende Erfindung auch bei mehrstöckigen Stickmaschinen realisiert werden. Sie bringt bei diesen Maschinen sogar besondere Vorteile, weil dann die durch die Maschinengestelle gebildeten langen Hebelarme sich nicht mehr nachteilig auf das Vibrationsverhalten auswirken können.With two-story machines, the embroidery height may increase Construction heights reached that the installation of the machines in existing buildings render impossible. But if the room height does not pose any problems, the present one can Invention can also be realized in multi-storey embroidery machines. She brings to these Machines even have special advantages, because then the ones formed by the machine frames long lever arms can no longer adversely affect the vibration behavior.

Zusammenfassend kann folgendes festgehalten werden:In summary, the following can be stated:

Die Stickmaschine weist auf beiden Seiten eines Bedienungsgangs 15 Maschinengestelle 11,12 auf, die oben durch Streben 13 miteinander verbunden sind. In den Maschinengestellen 11,12 sind die Gatter 21,23 angeordnet auf denen je ein Stickboden 25,27 aufgespannt ist. Jedem Maschinengestell 11,12 ist ein sogenannter Nadelwagen mit einer Vielzahl von Stickstellen zugeordnet. Eine einzige Steuereinheit dient der Steuerung beider Maschinenhälften. Beide Maschinenhälften sind so angeordnet, dass im Betrieb der Maschine die durch bewegte Massen beider Maschinenhälften erzeugten Vibrationskräfte im wesentlichen in entgegengesetzten Richtungen zueinander wirken und sich so wegen der Verbindung der Maschinengestelle 11,12 durch Streben 13,14 gegenseitig aufheben. Im Betrieb der Maschine bewegen sich die Gatter 21,23 vertikal in der gleichen Richtung und horizontal in einander entgegengesetzten Richtungen. Dabei erscheint das Stickbild auf beiden Gattern in gleicher Stellung.The embroidery machine has 15 machine frames 11, 12 on both sides of an operating aisle on, which are interconnected by struts 13 above. In the machine frames 11, 12 the gates 21, 23 are arranged, on each of which an embroidery base 25, 27 is stretched. Each Machine frame 11, 12 is a so-called needle carriage with a large number of embroidery points assigned. A single control unit controls both halves of the machine. Both The machine halves are arranged in such a way that the machine moves when the machine is in operation Masses of both machine halves essentially generated vibration forces in opposite directions to each other and so because of the connection of the Lift up machine frames 11, 12 by struts 13, 14. In operation of the machine the gates 21, 23 move vertically in the same direction and horizontally in each other opposite directions. The embroidery image appears in the same way on both gates Position.
