    Method for preparing a tufting process for tufting a fabric, preferably carpet
    The present invention relates to a method for preparing a tufting process for tufting a fabric, for example for tufting a carpet. The invention further relates to a method for tufting a fabric by using such a method for preparing a tufting process.
    When tufting a fabric, for example a carpet, with a tufting machine, the needles of a needle bar of this tufting machine have associated yarns associated therewith. By selecting the colors of the yarns associated with the needles provided on the needle bar, a fabric tufted with the tufting machine having such a specific threading will have a specific color appearance mainly determined by the colors of the yarns associated with the needles.
    It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of preparing a tufting process which, even when using a reduced number of differently colored yarns, can provide an improved color appearance.
    According to the present invention, this object is achieved by a method of preparing a tufting process for tufting a fabric, preferably carpet, which has areas of different color appearance, using at least two different kinds of yarns, yarns of different types of yarn successively alternate in a needle bar lengthwise direction of a tufting machine needle bar, comprising the steps of:
    a) defining a predetermined number of color mixing values,
    b) assigning a color-related tufting aspect instruction to each color mix value,
    BE2017 / 5643
    c) providing a color pattern representation of the tufting fabric comprising multiple color areas,
    d) assigning one of the color mixing values to each color region.
    When preparing a tufting process, using the method of the present invention, the color appearance of a fabric tufted on the basis of this method is influenced not only by the selected different types of yarn, but also by using specific tufting instructions and thereby forming tuft poles in accordance with these instructions in association with the different color mix values of the different color areas of the color pattern representation. Combining the use of specific types of yarn with the use of specific tufting aspect instructions results in an extensive spectrum of the colors that appear to be present in the fabric.
    An essential influence on the color appearance of a tuftable fabric can be obtained if the color-related tufting aspect instruction indicates a pile height of a tufted pile.
    In order that, in association with each color area of the color pattern representation, a specific kind of color appearance can be obtained, it is proposed that the number of color areas be equal to or less than the predetermined number of color mix values.
    Step c) may generate the color pattern representation based on an image representation having image areas of different color, the number of differently colored image areas exceeding the predetermined number of color mixing values. For example, a photo, especially a black and white photo, can be used as an image representation that forms the basis for the color pattern representation.
    To provide the ability to affect the color appearance of respective color areas by selecting the color mix values and thereby selecting the associated tufting aspect instructions, step b) can
    BE2017 / 5643 assign to each color mix value of a separate yarn-related tufting aspect instruction for each of the different types of yarn.
    To provide a variation of the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction in association with the different color mixing values, the method may be arranged such that in association with a color mixing value defining a first end of the color mixing value range including all color mixing values, the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction associated with one of the different types of yarn indicate a maximum pile height of a pile to be tufted, and in association with a color mixing value defining a second end of the color mixing value range, the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction associated with these of the different types of yarn a minimum pile height of a pile to be tufted indicates, in association with the color mix value defining the first end of the color mix value range, the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction associated with another of the different types of yarn indicates a minimum pile height of a tuftable pile , and in association with the color mix value defining the second end of the color mix value range, the yarn-related tuft aspect instruction associated with the other of the different types of yarn indicates a maximum pile height of a pile to be tufted.
    If the color mix values are represented by numbers, the color mix value that defines the first end of the color mix value range can be a minimum color mix value, and the color mix value that defines the second end of the color mix value range can be a maximum color mix value.
    In association with at least two color mix values, preferably each color mix value, for at least one of the different types of yarn, preferably each of the different types of yarn, the yarn-related tufting aspect instructions assigned to these color mix values may indicate different pile heights.
    BE2017 / 5643
    According to a very advantageous aspect of the present invention, different types of yarn can differ from each other in yarn color. For example, the yarns of one type of yarn may be white yarns, while the yarns of another type of yarn may be black yarns.
    According to the present invention, it is preferred that, within at least one type of yarn, preferably within each type of yarn, the yarns do not differ from each other. This means that if different types of yarn differ in yarn color, all the yarns of one type of yarn may be, for example, white yarn and all yarn of the other type of yarn may be black yarn.
    It is one of the advantageous aspects of the present invention that the use of two (meaning exactly two) different types of yarn is sufficient to provide a color appearance of a tufted fabric with a wide range of color variations.
    The method of the present invention may further comprise generating a tufting machine control file based on the color-related tufting aspect instructions associated with all color areas.
    To provide a set of data representing the instructions associated with the poles to be formed when tufting a fabric, the tuft machine control file may be provided such that, in association with each pile to be formed, based on the species using yarns to make a specific pool and the color-related tuft aspect instruction associated with this pool, the yarn-related tuft aspect instruction associated with the type of yarns to be used to make this pool is selected.
    A further aspect of preparing a method for tufting a fabric includes the selection and / or provision of a tufting machine comprising threading needles of a tufting machine needle bar so that yarns of the different types of yarns meet in a needle bar. lengthwise in an alternate manner.
    BE2017 / 5643
    The present invention further relates to a method of tufting a fabric, comprising the steps of:
    generating a tuft machine control file using the method of the present invention, forwarding the tuft machine control file to a tufting machine prepared for the tufting process, operating the tufting machine based on the tufting machine control file for the tufting machine.
    The present invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings, in which:
    Fig. 1 shows a pattern representation of a tuftable fabric with three color areas;
    Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of rectangle II depicted in FIG. 1 showing the color mix values assigned to two of the color areas;
    Fig. 3 shows the tufting aspect instructions for two yarns from two different yarn types associated with different color mix values.
    With regard to the drawings, the present invention will now be explained using an example in which, for tufting a fabric, two different types of yarn must be used. In this example, the yarns of the two different yarn types differ in color. For example, the yarns of one type of yarn may be white yarn, while the yarn of the other type of yarn may be black yarn. Within each type of yarn, the yarns preferably do not differ from each other, which means, for example, that all the yarns of one type of yarn are white yarns, while all yarns of the other type of yarns are black yarns.
    It should be noted that, within the principles of the present invention, the different types of yarns may alternatively or additionally differ in aspects other than the yarn color. For example, the yarns of the different yarn types may differ in thickness, material, surface texture and any other physical parameter that affects the optical appearance of such yarns.
    BE2017 / 5643
    Fig. 1 shows a color pattern representation 11 of a fabric to be tufted, for example a carpet. The color pattern representation 11 of FIG. 1 shows a circumference 12 corresponding to the circumference of the tufted fabric. The color pattern representation 11 shows three color areas 14, 16 and 18. Each of the color areas 14, 16, 18 indicates an area of the tufting fabric which is intended to have a uniform color appearance. For example, when using different types of yarns, one with white yarns and the other with black yarns, color area 14 can be a color area in which the fabric to be tufted is intended to have a white color appearance, while color area 16 can be an area in which the tufting fabric is intended to have a black color appearance. Color area 18 may be an area of the tufting fabric intended to have a gray appearance. It should be noted that, in the fabric or color pattern representation that forms the basis for the tufted fabric, such a color area may consist of multiple areas distributed over the fabric that are not in contact with each other but separated by one or more others color areas. Nevertheless, all these areas of one and the same color area are intended to have the same color appearance.
    The color pattern representation shown in Fig. 1 can be obtained from an image representation, for example a black and white image, with a wide variety of differently colored areas and more or less smooth color transitions between these differently colored areas. Starting from such an image representation, the number of differently colored areas is reduced so as not to exceed a predetermined number of color mixing values. Reducing the number of differently colored areas can be done by any known image processing software provided to reduce the number of shades, for example grayscale, if the image representation is a black and white image.
    In the method of the present invention, multiple color mix values are defined, each color mix value representing a different ratio between the presence of one color and the presence of at least one other color. For example, when using black and white yarns and a black and white image as the basis for generating the color pattern representation 11, the color mix values can be represented by different shades of gray. These color mixing values can therefore differ
    BE2017 / 5643 have numbers associated so that, for example, a color mix value indicated by the number 0 represents the darkest possible color appearance, i.e. a substantially black color appearance, if black and white yarn are used in the different types of yarn. The color mix value indicated by number 20 can be used for the brightest color appearance, for example a substantially white color appearance, if black and white yarns are used for the different types of yarn. The numbers 1, 2, 3 ... between 0 and 20 may in this particular case be representative of different shades of gray between black and white. In providing color mix values from 0 to 20, i.e., in providing a total predetermined number of 21 color mix values, the color pattern representation 11 formed from an image representation is provided so as not to contain more than 21 different color areas. Of course, the color pattern representation 11 may contain more than 21 areas, if there are separate areas intended to have the same color appearance and therefore to have the same color mixing value associated therewith.
    Fig. 2 shows the transition between the two color areas 14 and 18 shown in rectangle II in FIG. 1. Since color area 14 is intended to have the brightest color appearance, ie the substantially white color appearance, the color mixing value 20 is associated with this color area 14. Since color area 18 is intended to have an average bright color appearance, ie not too dark and not too bright gray color appearance, the color mixing value 10 is associated with this entire color area 18. In FIG. 2, each square showing one of the numbers 20 and 10 indicates one stitch to be performed during a tufting process and thus indicates one pile that will be present in the tufting fabric. The lines in Fig. 2 indicate all the poles that will be made by one and the same needle provided on a tufting machine needle bar 22, the needles being positioned side by side in a needle bar lengthwise direction L. As shown in Fig. 2, the threading of the needles of the needle bar 22 is such that yarns of one type of yarn and yarns of the other type of yarn are provided alternately. A needle with a black thread passed through it is positioned between two needles with white yarn passed through it and vice versa. This means that in the tufted fabric there will be rows of poles corresponding to those shown in FIG. 2 lines shown, with the poles connected in one
    BE2017 / 5643 such rows are made by the same yarn and are therefore of the same color, while poles provided in immediately adjacent rows of poles will be made of yarns associated with the two different types of yarn and will therefore have different colors.
    When using a tufting machine with a sliding needle bar, the single row poles can be made of different yarns and can therefore be of different colors. As a further option, a tufting machine with two needle bars extending substantially parallel to each other in the needle bar length direction can be used. One of the needle bars may have the yarns of one type of yarns threaded through its needles, and the other needle bar may have the yarns of the other type of yarns threaded through its needles. Even when using such a tufting machine and a striker respectively, immediately adjacent rows of poles can be tufted by alternately using yarns of one type of yarn and yarns of the other type of yarns that are threaded through the needles of the two different needle bars.
    Fig. 3 shows the association of respective color-related tufting aspect instructions C with color mixing values. For example, the color-related tufting aspect instruction C20 associated with color mixing value 20, which, in the range of color mixing values, is the maximum color mixing value, includes a separate yarn-related tufting aspect instruction Y in association with each of the two different types of yarn, ie in association with the white yarns on the one hand w and on the other hand the black yarns b. In the example shown, the relevant tuft aspect is the pile height, and each yarn-related tuft aspect instruction Y is indicative of how high a pile should be. In FIG. 3a, the color-related tufting aspect instruction C20 associated with the color mixing value 20 includes the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction Y20 w associated with the white yarns w and the yarn-related tufting aspect instruction Y20b associated with the black yarns b. Since the tufting aspect of interest is the pile height, these yarn-related tufting aspect instructions Y20 w , Y20b are represented by high and low loops emerging from a substrate 24, which are indicative of a high pile, in particular a high loop pile, and a low pile, in particular a low loop pole.
    BE2017 / 5643
    As mentioned above, color blend value 20 is indicative of a very bright color appearance and therefore the yarn-related tuft aspect instruction Y20 w associated with the white yarns w may be indicative of a maximum pile height max, while the yarn-related tuft aspect instruction Y20b associated with the black yarns b may be indicative can be for a minimum pile height min. This means that in color area 14 intended to have a substantially white color appearance, the poles formed by using white yarns w will have the maximum pile height max, while the poles formed by use of the black yarns will have the minimum pile height min. For example, the maximum pile height max can be twice the minimum pile height min. Due to this significant difference in pile height, the color appearance in color area 14 will be dominated by the white poles, while the black poles will be significantly hidden between the higher white poles.
    Fig. 3b shows the color-related tufting aspect instruction CO associated with color mixing value 0 comprising yarn-related tufting aspect instructions Y0b and Y0w. Since the color mix value 0 which is the minimum color mix value is indicative of a very dark color appearance, yarn-related tuft aspect instruction Y0b indicates the formation of a pile with the maximum pile height max and yarn-related tuft aspect instruction Y0 w indicates the formation of a pile with the minimum pile height min. Again, the color appearance is dominated by the color of the yarns provided by the high poles, ie the black yarns, in color area 16.
    Fig. 3c shows the color-related tuft aspect instruction CIO associated with the intermediate color mixing value 10. Color-related tuft aspect instruction CIO includes the two yarn-related tuft aspect instructions Y10 w and Y 10b, which indicate both the formation of poles of the same intermediate height med. Therefore, neither of the two yarn colors will be predominant in an area with the associated color mix value 10. Such an area is designated as color area 18 in FIG. 1.
    The pile height associated with the different yarn-related tufting aspect instructions and therefore associated with the different color mix values can be determined based on the following equations:
    BE2017 / 5643
    Pw = min + (max - min) x CMV / 20
    Pb = max - (max - min) x CMV / 20 where:
    P w is the pile height of the poles formed by the use of white yarns w;
    Pb is the pile height of the poles formed by using black yarns b;
    CMV is the color mix value selected from the value range 0, 1, 2 ... 19, 20;
    max is the maximum pile height;
    min is the minimum pole height.
    Using the above formulas, in association with each of the color mix values contained within the color mix value range, a different pile height for all poles formed by white yarns and all poles formed by black yarns will be obtained, based on the different color mix values contained within avoid the color mix value range. Of course, in association with one color-related tufting aspect instruction unit, there may be yarn-related tufting aspect instructions indicating the formation of white poles and black poles of the same height.
    Although the above formulas indicate a linear increase / decrease in pile heights in association with an increasing color mix value, other correlations between the color mix value and the increase / decrease in pile heights of different colored yarns can be used. For example, a parabolic or a hyperbolic increase / decrease in pile heights with an increasing color mixing value can be provided.
    BE2017 / 5643
    From the explanation above and Figures 2 and 3a to 3c it becomes clear that, in association with each specific tuftable pool in a specific color range and based on a specific color mix value and the associated color-related tufting aspect instruction CO, ... C20, only the One yarn-related tufting aspect instruction will be relevant which relates to the yarn of the specific type of yarn to be tufted with a specific pile. For example, in the first line of FIG. 2 indicating a row of tufting poles using a white yarn w, only yarn-related tufting aspect instructions Y20 w and Y10 w are relevant, while in association with the row of poles corresponding to the second line and tufted using a black yarn b, only the yarn-related tufting instruction Y20b and Y10b will be relevant when tufting a fabric and generating a tuft machine control file.
    To generate such a tufting machine control file, the information related to the color mix values associated with specific color areas, and thereby associated with specific stitches to be performed, will be combined with the yarn stroke information of the needle bar of a tufting machine selected is for performing the tufting process. For example, if the yarn threads shown in Fig. 2 is used, where, in association with the top row of poles to be formed, a white yarn w is used, while, in association with the next row of tufting poles, a black yarn b is used, for each single stitch to be performed, the yarn-related tuft aspect instruction of a respective color-related tuft aspect instruction associated with the specific type of yarn used, in association with a specific needle and therefore used to form a specific row of poles, will be used in the tuft machine control file to ensure that, when tufting a fabric and performing a specific stitch, the pile formed will have the pile height defined by the color mix value and the associated color-related tufting aspect instruction and the type of yarn used in association with this needle.
    By associating specific color mix values with each needle separately and by selecting only the part of the color-related tuft aspect instruction associated with a specific color mix value relevant to the yarn to be used to make a specific stitch, ie the yarn BE2017 / 5643 related tuft aspect instruction associated with this particular type of yarn, meanwhile ignoring the portion of the information associated with other types of yarn that cannot be used to make a specific stitch, it becomes possible to make each individual stitch part of each different type of color area. It is not necessary to select a group of immediately adjacent stitches that will be made with yarns of different kinds to define a pixel and adjust the color appearance of such a pixel by selecting specific heights of the poles made with the yarns of different kinds of this pixel, only allowing the association of the full pixel, which includes multiple stitches, with different color areas. This means that by associating a color mix value with each individual stitch to be made and selecting only the information relevant to the type of thread to use to create a specific stitch, within the method of the present invention a pixel that may be part of one of the color areas, includes a single stitch resulting in a substantially higher definition of the different color areas and the pattern displayed on or by a fabric, respectively.
    In preparing a method for tufting a fabric in accordance with the principles of the present invention, multiple color-related tuft aspect instruction layers can be provided, each color-related tuft aspect instruction layer indicating areas, ie, stitches to be performed during the tufting process , in which a specific color-related tufting aspect instruction and therefore a specific color mixing value must be provided. Each of these layers can be imaged separately on a monitor and separated from the other layers to allow for local corrections, i.e. changes of the color mix value and the associated color-related tuft yarn instruction, if necessary. Furthermore, multiple yarn-related tuft aspect instruction layers can be provided, each yarn-related tuft aspect instruction layer showing areas in which a specific yarn-related tuft aspect instruction must be used. Again, providing multiple such layers allows to make changes in specific areas to replace a previously assigned yarn-related tufting instruction with another yarn-related tufting instruction, if necessary. Based on these yarn-related tuft aspect instruction layers, assigning a single selected yarn BE2017 / 5643 related tuft aspect instruction to each stitch to be executed when tufting a fabric can be used to generate a control file for the tufting machine.
