(Update processing of various information of production management sewing machine)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the entire processing performed after the main power supply of the production management sewing machine 10 is turned on, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing related to the plan information and wage management information performed before the start of sewing in the above general processing. It is.
Each of the above processes is performed by the CPU 31 of the production management sewing machine 10 executing various predetermined programs in the ROM 32.

First, when the main power is turned on, the CPU 31 performs operation control for displaying an operator ID selection screen on the display unit 22 of the operation panel 20 (step S1).
FIG. 8 is a front view of the operation panel 20 displaying the operator ID selection screen. In this operator ID selection screen, the operator ID selected most recently and other candidate operator IDs are displayed. Other candidate operator IDs are registered in the flash memory card 36, and are read and displayed from here.
At this time, any of the plurality of operation keys 21 on the operation panel 20 functions as a selection key for another candidate operator ID, and the other operation keys function as a confirmation key.
When an operator ID is selected by operating the operation key 21, the CPU 31 registers the selected operator ID in the EEPROM 35. That is, in the process of step S1, the operation panel 20 functions as a worker information input unit.
Further, the CPU 31 records the operator ID in the plan information and wage management information in the EEPROM 35. This operator ID is recorded in the plan information and wage management information in association with the lot identification code and process identification code selected in the processing of step S4 described later. Thereby, when the plan information and the wage management information are collected in the main management apparatus 101, it becomes possible to easily identify which operator has achieved the sewing process in which rod. That is, in this process, the operation panel 20 functions as worker information writing means.

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the front pedal of the operation pedal 13 has been depressed (step S2). If the front pedal has not been depressed, the process proceeds to step S3 shown in FIG.
In step S3, if the plan information and wage management information have already been read from the main management apparatus 101, whether or not a change in the lot to be sewn and the sewing process has been input by the predetermined operation key 21 on the operation panel 20 is determined. Determine. If no change in the lot and the sewing process has been input, the process proceeds to step S5. If it has been input, the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S <b> 4, the CPU 31 performs operation control for displaying a lot / sewing process selection screen on the display unit 22 of the operation panel 20, and performs a process of receiving a lot / sewing process selection input from the operation key 21. That is, in the process of the step, the operation panel 20 functions as a selection unit.
FIG. 9 is a front view of the operation panel 20 displaying the sewing process selection screen. In this lot / sewing process selection screen, lot identification codes (for example, K001-25790B) and process identification codes (for example, SL-IN) are displayed with “/” as a separator, and all lots stored in the EEPROM 35 are displayed. / Process identification codes not yet achieved are displayed. The operator specifies the sewing object based on the lot identification code and the process identification code displayed on the selection screen.
At this time, any one of the plurality of operation keys 21 on the operation panel 20 functions as a lot / process identification code selection key, and the other operation keys function as confirmation keys.
When a lot / sewing process is selected by operating the operation key 21, the CPU 31 registers the selected lot identification code and process identification code in the EEPROM 35, and proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, the CPU 31 determines whether or not an instruction to acquire new plan information and wage management information has been input from the main management apparatus 101 using the operation key 21, and if not, the process proceeds to step S7. To proceed. If it is input, the process proceeds to step S6, new plan information and wage management information are acquired from the main management apparatus 101, stored in the EEPROM 35, and then the process proceeds to step S7.

  In step S7, the CPU 31 determines whether or not an instruction to transmit the plan information and wage management information in the EEPROM 35 to the main management apparatus 101 has been input by the operation key 21, and if not, the process proceeds to step S9. Proceed with the process. If there is an input, the process proceeds to step S8, and the plan information and wage management information in the EEPROM 35 is output to the main management apparatus 101 via the LAN, and then the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the CPU 31 determines whether or not an instruction to execute time adjustment is input using the operation key 21, and if not, the process proceeds to step S11. If there is an input, the process proceeds to step S10.
In step S <b> 10, the CPU 31 performs operation control for displaying a time adjustment screen on the display unit 22 of the operation panel 20. In this time adjustment screen, the currently set date and time are displayed on the display unit 22. The plurality of operation keys 21 function as correction keys for inputting these corrections, and the other operation keys function as confirmation keys.
When the current time is input by the key operation of the operation key 21, the CPU 31 updates the current time of the clock unit included in the CPU 31 to the input time, and then proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the CPU 31 determines whether or not an instruction to input a sewing machine ID has been input by the operation key 21, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2 (determination of operation pedal input) shown in FIG. To return.
If it is input, the process proceeds to step S12. FIG. 10 is a front view of the operation panel 20 displaying the sewing machine ID selection screen. In this sewing ID selection screen, candidate sewing IDs are displayed one by one. The candidate sewing ID is registered in the flash memory card 36 and is read out and displayed.
At this time, any one of the plurality of operation keys 21 on the operation panel 20 functions as a selection key for other sewing machine IDs, whereby other candidate sewing machine IDs are scrolled and displayed one by one in order, and an operation as a confirmation key is performed. Confirmed with the key 21. That is, in the process of step S12, the operation panel 20 functions as a sewing machine ID input unit.
When the sewing machine ID is selected by the key operation of the operation key 21, the CPU 31 registers the selected sewing machine ID in the EEPROM 35.
The sewing machine ID input in step S12 is a process performed for a sewing machine whose sewing machine ID is not registered in the EEPROM 35 or a sewing machine whose sewing machine ID is already registered in the EEPROM 35 but needs to be changed. If the sewing machine ID is registered in the EEPROM 35, it is unnecessary. In step S11, a negative determination is made, and the process directly proceeds to step S2.
Then, the process returns to step S2 (determination of operation pedal input) shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the forward depression of the operation pedal 13 is detected in step S2, the CPU 31 starts the sewing machine motor 11 and starts sewing (step S13).
Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the rear pedal of the operation pedal 13 is input (step S14). If there is no input, the process returns to step S13 to continue the sewing, and if there is an input, the process proceeds to step S15.
In step S15, the CPU 31 operates the knife driving solenoid 12 to cause the sewing thread to be cut by the moving knife.

Next, when the thread trimming process is performed, the CPU 31 performs a process of writing the result data into the plan information.
Further, when there is a thread trimming execution command, the CPU 31 performs a process of determining that the number of sewing and the sewing time of the wage management information should be updated for a predetermined sewing process. That is, the CPU 31 executes processing as achievement status output means.
Further, the CPU 31 executes a wage management information update process and a needle number information update process, which will be described later (step S16). That is, the CPU 31 executes processing as update means.
As the result data to be written in the plan information, the above-described operator ID, sewing machine ID, start time, end time, and number of completed sheets are applicable.
The result data writing process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 again.
The thread trimming process in principle means the completion of one sewing process for one piece of sewing product. Therefore, when the thread trimming process is performed, the CPU 31 specifies the lot and the sewing process in the plan information from the lot and the sewing process selected in the process of step S3, and for the sewing process of the corresponding lot, A process of writing the operator ID and the sewing machine ID is executed.

Further, the CPU 31 performs a process of adding 1 to the “completed number” in the corresponding process information from the sewing process selected in the process of step S3.
Further, when the result of the addition process of the completed number indicates the first sheet, the CPU 31 refers to the current time and performs a process of recording the time at the “start time” in the process information. In this case, strictly speaking, since a time slightly later than the start time is recorded, the above-described processing may be executed when the operation pedal 13 is stepped forward.
Further, when the result of the addition process of the completed number matches the planned lot number, the CPU 31 refers to the current time of the clock unit and performs a process of recording the time in the “end time” in the process information. .

Further, the wage management information update process executed in step S16 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the thread trimming process is performed, the CPU 31 specifies the lot and the sewing process in the wage management information from the lot and the sewing process selected in step S3, and from the operator ID selected in the process in step S1. The operator ID in the wage management information is specified.
Then, the CPU 31 performs a process of adding 1 to the “sewing number” for the sewing process of the corresponding operator ID, and performs a process of updating the “sewing time” with reference to the current time of the clock unit.

Further, the stitch number information update process executed in step S16 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the stitch number information is information in which “lot identification code”, “process identification code”, “operator ID”, “write time”, “number of stitches”, and “number of sewing” are set. is there.
When the thread trimming process is performed, the CPU 31 records the “lot identification code” and the “process identification code” of the stitch number information from the lot and the sewing process selected in the process of step S3, and the process of step S1. The process of recording the “operator ID” selected in step 1 is executed.

Further, the CPU 31 performs processing for recording the “write time” with reference to the current time of the clock unit.
In addition, the CPU 31 counts the number of rotations of the sewing machine motor 11 with the encoder provided in the sewing machine motor 11 after the previous thread trimming process, and records the accumulated number of rotations up to the time of thread trimming as “number of stitches”. Perform the process.

As for the “number of stitches”, “1” is recorded in a normal setting. In other words, when the number of stitches is set to be recorded for each thread trimming (every sewing product is sewn), “1” is recorded as the “number of stitches”, and any number of sheets can be changed by changing the setting. If the setting is made to record the number of stitches, the number of times of thread trimming is counted, and the processing for recording the number of stitches information is performed only when the set number of times is reached. In this case, the “writing time” records the time when the predetermined number of sewing operations are completed and the thread trimming is performed, and the “number of stitches” records the predetermined number of sewing needles.
Such needle number information is recorded in the flash memory 36 through the reading / writing device 37. At that time, the sewing machine ID of the production management sewing machine 10 is also recorded in the stitch number information.
Note that the CPU 31 may execute processing for outputting the stitch number information to the main management apparatus 101 via the LAN together with the plan information and the wage management information or according to a transmission command arbitrarily input.

As described above, the plan information and wage management information in the EEPROM 35 are updated by the processing in step S16.
And a process returns to step S2 and the same process is repeatedly performed from the input confirmation of the operation pedal 13. FIG.

(Production management sewing machine wage calculation process)
The production management sewing machine 10 performs a wage calculation process by the CPU 31 executing a predetermined program in the ROM 32 in addition to the processes related to the plan information and the wage management information.
That is, when a wage calculation command is input by the operation key 21 of the operation panel 20 and an operator ID is input, the CPU 31 refers to wage management information in the EEPROM 35 and in each sewing process belonging to the input operator ID. The value obtained by multiplying the number of sewing pieces and the wage base is added up for each sewing process to calculate the wage. That is, the CPU 31 executes processing as calculation means.
Further, the CPU 31 performs control to display the calculated wage on the display unit 22 of the operation panel 20. That is, the display unit 22 functions as a display unit.
In the wage calculation process, when the range of the working period is designated by the operation key 21 of the operation panel 20, the CPU 31 executes a predetermined processing program, refers to the sewing time of the wage management information, and designates the designated working period. The wage is calculated for the sewing process within the period.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram conceptually illustrating the wage management information integration process described above. This integration of wage management information will be described as an example. When the wage management information is received from the plurality of production management sewing machines 10, the CPU 105 uses the received wage management information as the initial wage management information (information on the number of pieces of sewing belonging to each operator ID and information on the sewing time as the initial values). By comparison, it is specified which information belongs to which operator ID is different. Then, only the information belonging to the operator ID causing the difference (symbol D in FIG. 12) is extracted, and only the extracted partial information is stored in the wage management information before update stored in the HD device 108. On the other hand, the process of adding and updating is executed.
The plan information is also integrated and updated by the same processing as the wage management information. However, the plan information is determined whether there is a difference for each piece of information belonging to the sewing process of each lot. The plan information is rewritten with respect to a series of information belonging to the sewing process.

The main management apparatus 101 also performs wage calculation processing in the same manner as the production management sewing machine 10. Such wage calculation processing is performed by the CPU 105 executing a predetermined program in the ROM 104.
