Description

[0105] Components which are the same and have the same effect are provided with the same reference signs, even if these components may be exaggerated in size.

[0106] FIG. 1 shows a basic method diagram for the basic sequence of a method described here.

[0107] FIG. 2 shows a more detailed method diagram for the sequence of the above method according to FIG. 1.

[0108] FIG. 3 shows, in a schematic top view, a segment subdivision of the textile material produced prior to cutting, based on the method of FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0109] FIG. 1 shows firstly a first method step V1, in which firstly the material of electrically conductive threads 4 (visible in FIG. 3) and the material of a textile material 10 of a textile base material 11 (visible in FIG. 3) are selected from a database.

[0110] These are fed into a predetermination unit 21 in the context of a method step V2. At the same time, in the predetermination unit 21 parameters predetermined by the user for the production of the textile piece 1 desired by him are likewise loaded into the predetermination unit 21.

[0111] This therefore includes steps V3 and V4.

[0112] In a step V5, certain machine conditions as well as machine characteristics of a manufacturing machine 5 are also loaded into the processing unit 21. In other words, therefore, the processing unit 21 according to the steps V1 to V6 has all the relevant data for the production of the textile piece 1.

[0113] The processing unit 21 now processes these data and thus creates a production program adapted to the textile piece 1 by means of a step V7, so that in a step V8 the production program can also be transmitted from one production unit to another or to the manufacturing machine 5. Alternatively, however, it is also possible that the program file can be transmitted to any other production machine or manufacturing machine.

[0114] In other words, in FIG. 1 a preferably purely virtual creation program is depicted, which, however, is absolutely necessary from a technical point of view in order to be able to operate the manufacturing machine 5. In addition, the production program is not only stored technically haptically in the processing unit 21, but is only generated thereby.

[0115] FIG. 2 shows in more detail an internal data processing sequence within the predetermination unit. Again shown are the steps V1 and V2, wherein it can now be recognised that, by means of a step V21, data integration of all data shown in FIG. 1 is first carried out. It can also be recognised that these data are then processed, wherein a design simulation or a design verification D1 can take place in a step V22 before these data are fed back into a processing box 250 after a corresponding design simulation/verification in a step V23.

[0116] Alternatively or additionally, after the step of data integration, these data are likewise fed into the processing box 250 by means of a step V24. The processing box 250 processes and generates the corresponding cutting mark 3 (visible in FIG. 3) on the respectively underlying textile base material 11 and matches the design data then obtained by means of a step V25 in the context of a simulation/verification S1 with a desired design cut profile. This design cut profile can in turn be stored in the processing unit 21.

[0117] If any deviations from a desired design cut profile are detected, in a step V26 this design can be adapted to a design profile D2 which is optimal or desired or is deposited in the processing unit 21. In a step V26, a design review check D3 is performed, wherein in a step V27 a program file D4 is then finally generated.

[0118] FIG. 3 schematically shows a textile base material 11 which is subdivided into the different textile segments 210. It can also be recognised that corresponding conductive threads 4 are woven within the textile segments 210 or these electrically conductive threads 4 themselves even replace a textile thread of the textile material 11.

[0119] Furthermore, it is crucial that none of the electrically conductive threads 4 cut through the cutting marks 3 or lie on them, so that even after the corresponding cutting along the cutting marks 3, for example by means of a laser or a blade, electrically conductive threads 4 have no cut surfaces.

[0120] The applicant reserves the right to claim all features disclosed in the application documents as essential to the invention, provided that these are novel individually or in combination with respect to the prior art.
