Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method for modeling a member.

  In recent years, a member having a three-dimensional shape is modeled using a three-dimensional modeling apparatus such as a 3D printer.

The server 10 is connected to be communicable via N.

  The two 3D printers 20a and 20b are arranged at different locations in the construction site R. In the present embodiment, one 3D printer 20a is arranged on the first floor of a building under construction, and the other 3D printer 20b is arranged on the second floor of the building under construction. The number of 3D printers provided in the system 1 is not particularly limited. For example, the system 1 may include one 3D printer or three or more 3D printers.

  In addition, the system 1 includes a 3D scanner 30 as a three-dimensional shape information acquisition apparatus that is communicably connected to the server 10 via the network N. The 3D scanner 30 is portable and can be carried and used by a worker working at the construction site R.

  At the construction site R, construction members may be accidentally damaged during construction work. It takes time and money to order new construction members to the construction site R. Therefore, it is preferable to form a repair member for repairing a damaged construction member at the construction site R.

  The system 1 forms a repair member for repairing a damaged construction member at the construction site R using the 3D printers 20a and 20b. The damaged construction member is repaired by using the repaired member that has been shaped.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating repairing a damaged construction member using a repair member.

  For example, it is assumed that the construction member 40 is damaged during the work at the construction site R. The worker uses the 3D scanner 30 to acquire the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member 40 and transmits the three-dimensional shape information to the server 10 via the network N. The server 10 generates the three-dimensional shape information of the repair member for repairing the construction member based on the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member 40, and sends the three-dimensional shape information to the 3D printers 20a and 20b via the network N. Send. The 3D printers 20a and 20b model the repair member 41 based on the received three-dimensional shape information of the repair member. The worker repairs the damaged construction member 40 using the repair member 41, and the repaired construction member 42 is obtained.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the server.

  The server 10 includes a processing unit 11, a storage unit 12, a display unit 13, an operation unit 14, and a communication unit 15.

  The processing unit 11 includes one or a plurality of processors and peripheral circuits. The processing unit 11 controls each hardware component of the server 10 and performs various processes according to a predetermined program 12a stored in advance in the storage unit 12, and stores the data generated during the processing temporarily. Part 12 is used.

  FIG. 4A illustrates a processing unit.

  The processing unit 11 includes a repair member information generation unit 11a, a volume calculation unit 11b, a material usage amount calculation unit 11c, a modeling member notification unit 11d, and a member modeling instruction unit 11e.

  Each of these units included in the processing unit 11 is, for example, a functional module realized by a computer program that operates on a processor included in the processing unit 11. Each of these units included in the processing unit 11 may be mounted on the server 10 as a separate circuit. The description of each part will be described later.

  The storage unit 12 may include a semiconductor memory such as a random access memory (RAM) or a read only memory (ROM), or a nonvolatile memory such as a magnetic disk or a flash memory. The storage unit 12 may use a disk drive (not shown) as a drive that can read a non-temporary storage medium that stores the predetermined program 12a.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating the storage unit.

  The storage unit 12 stores a predetermined program 12a, a construction member three-dimensional shape information table 12b, a material table 12c, and a material remaining amount table 12d.

  In the three-dimensional shape information table 12b of construction members, three-dimensional shape information of a plurality of construction members used at the construction site R is registered in association with identification numbers for identifying the respective construction members. As the three-dimensional shape information of the construction member, for example, three-dimensional CAD data can be used.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the material table.

  In the material table 500, the usage amounts of a plurality of materials used per unit volume of a repair member when a repair member having different tensile strength as physical properties and coarse density as quality is modeled are registered.

  Tensile strength levels include strong strength for steel, strong strength for glass, strength in wood, and weak strength in paper.

  As the level of the coarse density, there are rough, standard, and smooth.

  The bill of material 500 has a strong strength column 501, a strong strength column 502, a medium strength column 503, and a weak strength column 504 corresponding to the level of tensile strength.

  The bill of material 500 has a coarse row 505, a standard row 506, and a smooth row 507 corresponding to the level of coarse density.

  In the column where the column of the tensile strength and the row of the coarse density intersect, the usage amount of the material used per unit volume of the repair member having the respective tensile strength and coarse density is registered.

For example, the usage amount of the material used per unit volume of the repair member having an extremely strong tensile strength and a rough coarse density is 124 mg / cm ³ . Moreover, the usage-amount of the material used per unit volume of the repair member which has the super strong tensile strength and a standard coarse density is 235 mg / cm < ³ >. Furthermore, the amount of the material used per unit volume of the repair member having extremely high tensile strength and smooth coarse density is 367 mg / cm ³ .

  The material that forms repair members with extremely high tensile strength is the same even if the level of coarse density is different, but the density of the material when forming repair members is different, so repairs depend on the level of coarse density. The amount of material used per unit volume of the member is different. For example, the level of the coarse density of the repair member is adjusted by changing the stacking width when forming the repair member in a stack using a 3D printer. The narrower the stack width, the smoother the coarse density and the higher the density. On the other hand, the wider the stack width, the coarser the density and the lower the density. This description also applies to materials for modeling repair members having other tensile strengths.

  On the other hand, materials for modeling repair members having different tensile strengths are different. That is, the material for modeling the repair member having the same coarse density varies depending on the level of tensile strength.

  The physical properties of the repair member are not limited to the tensile strength, and can be appropriately set according to the performance required for the repair member. Examples of the physical properties of the repair member include bending strength, hardness, rigidity, elasticity, viscosity, viscoelasticity, and the like.

  In the remaining material amount table 12d, the remaining material amounts of a plurality of materials for the 3D printers 20a and 20b to form repair members having different physical properties are registered in association with the 3D printers 20a and 20b.

  Further, the quality of the repair member is not limited to the coarse density, and can be appropriately set according to the performance required for the repair member.

  The operation unit 14 is operated by an operator of the server 10 and can input an operation. The server 10 can use, for example, a keyboard or a mouse as the operation unit 14. An example of the operator of the server 10 is an administrator who manages work on the construction site R.

  FIG. 6 is a hardware configuration diagram of the 3D printer.

  The 3D printers 20 a and 20 b model a repair member that repairs the damaged construction member based on the three-dimensional shape information of the repair member received from the server 10.

The processing unit 21 controls each hardware component of the 3D printers 20a and 20b and performs various processes according to a predetermined program stored in advance in the storage unit 22, and temporarily stores data generated during the processing. The storage unit 22 is used.

  For example, the processing unit 21 generates the polygon data of the repair member based on the three-dimensional CAD data as the three-dimensional shape information of the repair member, generates the STL data based on the polygon data, and then generates the polygon data based on the STL data. Generate slice data. The processing unit 21 causes the modeling unit body 25 to model the member based on the slice data.

  Further, the processing unit 21 includes a remaining amount acquisition unit 21a that acquires the remaining amount of a plurality of materials for the 3D printers 20a and 20b to form repair members having different physical properties and / or quality. The remaining amount acquisition unit 21a is, for example, a functional module realized by a computer program that operates on a processor included in the processing unit 21. The remaining amount acquisition unit 21a may be implemented in the 3D printers 20a and 20b as a separate circuit. The description of the remaining amount acquisition unit 21a will be described later.

  The storage unit 22 may include a semiconductor memory such as a random access memory (RAM) or a read only memory (ROM), or a nonvolatile memory such as a magnetic disk or a flash memory. The storage unit 22 may use a disk drive (not shown) as a drive that can read a non-temporary storage medium that stores a predetermined program.

  The display unit 23 is controlled by the processing unit 21 and can display various types of information accompanying the operation of the 3D printers 20a and 20b. As the display unit 23, for example, a liquid crystal display can be used.

  The operation unit 24 is operated by an operator of the 3D printers 20a and 20b and can input an operation. The 3D printers 20 a and 20 b can use, for example, a touch panel formed integrally with the display unit 23 as the operation unit 24. As an operator of the 3D printers 20a and 20b, for example, a worker who works at the construction site R can be cited.

  The modeling unit body 25 is controlled by the processing unit 21 to model a member such as a repair member. The modeling unit main body 25 includes, for example, a nozzle (not shown) for extruding a material for modeling the member and a pedestal (not shown) on which the modeled member is placed. Moreover, the modeling part main body 25 models a pedestal driving device (not shown) that moves the pedestal in the height direction, a nozzle driving device (not shown) that moves the nozzle in the horizontal direction with respect to the pedestal, and a member. A material holding portion 25a for holding the material to be processed.

  Examples of the material held by the material holding unit 25a include thermoplastic resin, photocurable resin, gypsum powder, liquid concrete, and metal lump. The material holding portion 25a can hold a plurality of materials for modeling a plurality of repair members having different physical properties and / or quality. The thermoplastic resin and the photocurable resin can be held in the form of a filament, powder, or liquid.

  The remaining amount sensor 26 detects and processes information used to acquire the remaining amounts of a plurality of materials for modeling repair members having different physical properties and / or quality held in the material holding unit 25a. Notification to the unit 21.

  The remaining amount acquisition unit 21 a of the processing unit 21 acquires the remaining amount of material based on the information notified from the remaining amount sensor 26. The remaining amount of material can be obtained based on the amount of material held in the material holding portion 25a or the amount of material used.

  For example, when the material has a filament shape, the remaining amount sensor 26 is a mass measuring device that measures the mass of the filament after use. The remaining amount sensor 26 acquires the mass of the filament after use and notifies the remaining amount acquisition unit 21a. When the material is powder, the remaining amount sensor 26 is a mass measuring device that measures the mass of the powder after use.

When the liquid material is held in the tube-shaped material holding unit 25a, the remaining amount sensor 26 is a mass measuring device that measures the mass of the material holding unit 25a. The remaining amount sensor 26 acquires the mass of the material holding unit 25a after using the material and notifies the remaining amount acquiring unit 21a. The remaining amount acquisition unit 21a acquires the remaining amount of the material held inside the material holding unit 25a based on the mass of the material holding unit 25a. Further, when the material is a liquid stored in the container-shaped material holding unit 25a, the remaining amount sensor 26 may be a water level measuring device that measures the position of the water surface of the liquid. The remaining amount acquisition unit 21 a acquires the amount of liquid stored in the material holding unit 25 a based on the position of the liquid surface notified by the remaining amount sensor 26.

  In the present embodiment, the remaining amount sensor 26 converts the acquired remaining amount of material into a unit of mg which is mass and notifies the processing unit 21 of the converted amount.

  The material holding unit and / or the remaining amount sensor may be arranged as a separate device from the 3D printer.

  The communication unit 27 transmits and receives information to and from the server 10 via the network N. For example, the communication unit 27 receives the three-dimensional shape information of the repair member from the server 10. The communication unit 27 may include a communication circuit that performs transmission and reception and a communication line or antenna.

  FIG. 7 is a hardware configuration diagram of the 3D scanner.

  The 3D scanner 30 acquires the three-dimensional shape information of the surface of the damaged construction member in a non-contact manner. In the present embodiment, the 3D scanner 30 acquires point cloud data as the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member.

  The 3D scanner 30 includes a processing unit 31, a storage unit 32, an operation unit 33, a scanning unit 34, and a communication unit 35.

  The processing unit 31 includes one or a plurality of processors and peripheral circuits. The processing unit 31 performs control and various processing of each hardware component of the 3D scanner 30 according to a predetermined program stored in advance in the storage unit 32, and stores the data generated during the processing temporarily.

  The storage unit 32 may include a semiconductor memory such as a random access memory (RAM) or a read only memory (ROM), or a nonvolatile memory such as a magnetic disk or a flash memory.

  The operation unit 33 is operated by a worker on the construction site R and can input an operation. The 3D scanner 30 can use, for example, a touch panel as the operation unit 33.

  For example, the scanning unit 34 scans the surface of the damaged construction member by irradiating a laser, and outputs the scanned data to the processing unit 31. The processing unit 31 creates point cloud data as three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member based on the scanned data.

  The communication unit 35 transmits and receives information to and from the server 10 via a wireless router (not shown) and the network N using wireless communication. For example, the communication unit 35 transmits point cloud data as the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member to the server 10. The communication unit 27 may include a communication circuit that performs transmission and reception and an antenna.

  Next, an example of the operation of the system 1 of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, in step S801, the worker at the construction site R uses the 3D scanner 30 to acquire point cloud data as 3D shape information of the damaged construction member. Then, the worker uses the 3D scanner 30 to transmit the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member and the identification number for identifying the damaged construction member to the server 10 via the network N. The server 10 receives the three-dimensional shape information and identification number of the damaged construction member.

  Next, in step S803, the repair member information generation unit 11a of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 is based on the three-dimensional shape information before the damage of the damaged construction member and the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member. Three-dimensional shape information of a damaged portion for modeling the repair member is generated. Specifically, the repair member information generation unit 11a is registered in association with the identification number with reference to the three-dimensional shape information table 12b of the construction member stored in the storage unit 12 based on the identification number. The three-dimensional shape information (three-dimensional CAD data of the construction member before damage) is read. And the repair member information generation part 11a produces | generates the three-dimensional CAD data of the damaged construction member based on the point cloud data which are the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member. Then, the repair member information generation unit 11a performs pattern matching between the three-dimensional CAD data of the damaged construction member and the three-dimensional CAD data of the construction member before the damage, and the damaged portion of the construction member before the damage. Ask for. Then, the repair member information generation unit 11a uses, as a difference between the three-dimensional CAD data of the construction member before the damage and the three-dimensional CAD data of the damaged construction member, the three-dimensional CAD data that is the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged portion. Generate.

  The repair member information generation unit 11 a is registered in the three-dimensional CAD data of the damaged construction member and the three-dimensional shape information table 12 b of the construction member stored in the storage unit 12 without using an identification number. Pattern matching may be performed with the three-dimensional CAD data of the construction member before breakage to specify the construction member before breakage.

  Next, in step S805, the volume calculation unit 11b of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 obtains the volume of the repair member based on the three-dimensional CAD data that is the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged portion.

  Next, in step S807, the volume calculation unit 11b of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 determines whether the volume of the repair member is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio with respect to the volume of the construction member before the damaged construction member. Determine whether.

  When the volume of the repair member is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio (Yes in step S807), the volume calculation unit 11b sets the repair member to be the same as the construction member before the damage and sets the three-dimensional CAD data of the repair member before the damage. This is replaced with the three-dimensional CAD data of the construction member (step S809). This is because when the damage to the construction member is large, the performance required for the construction member may not be obtained in the repair, so the member itself is replaced with a new one instead of the repair. Here, the predetermined ratio can be, for example, 30 to 50% of the volume of the repair member before the breakage of the damaged construction member.

  Next, in step S811, the material usage calculation unit 11c of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 determines the volume of the repair member and the usage of each of the plurality of materials registered in the material table 12c stored in the storage unit 12. Based on the product, the amount of material used for the material used to form the repair member when each material is used is determined. (No in step S807 or when the process proceeds from step S809 to step S811)

  FIG. 10A is a diagram for explaining the material usage amount of the material used for modeling the repair member.

FIG. 10A shows a case where a repair member having different tensile strength and coarse density is formed using each material registered in the material table 12b stored in the storage unit 12 when the volume of the repair member is 500 cm ^3. When doing, the material usage-amount of each of the some material used for modeling of a repair member is shown.

  Next, in step S901, the modeling member notification unit 11d of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 acquires the material remaining amounts of the plurality of materials held by each 3D printer from the two 3D printers 20a and 20b, and stores the storage unit. 12 is registered in the material remaining amount table 12d. The remaining amount acquisition unit 21a of the processing unit 21 of each of the 3D printers 20a and 20b acquires the material remaining amount of a plurality of materials based on the information detected by the remaining amount sensor 26, and acquires the remaining material amount of the plurality of materials. Is transmitted to the server 10 via the network N using the communication unit 27. The server 10 receives the remaining material amounts of the plurality of materials held by each 3D printer and registers them in the remaining material amount table 12d stored in the storage unit 12.

  FIG. 10B is a diagram for explaining an example of the material remaining amount table.

  The material remaining amount table 12d stored in the storage unit 12 of the server 10 has an identification number column 1001 for identifying a 3D printer. In the identification number column 1001, an identification number 20a for identifying the 3D printer 20a and an identification number 20b for identifying the 3D printer 20b are registered. In addition, the remaining material table 12d includes a column 1002 for a strong material for steel, a column 1003 for a strong strength for glass, a column 1004 for a strength for wood, and a weak column for paper. It has an intensity column 1005. In each column, the material remaining amount of the material held by each of the 3D printers 20a and 20b is registered.

  Next, in step S903, the modeling member notification unit 11d of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 obtains the material remaining amount of the plurality of materials acquired from the 3D printers 20a and 20b and each material obtained by the material usage amount calculation unit 11c. Based on the material usage amount of the material when used, the presence or absence of repair member candidates that can be shaped within the remaining material amount is determined.

  11A shows candidates for repair members that can be shaped within the remaining amount of material of the 3D printer 20a arranged on the first floor, and FIG. 11B shows the 3D printer arranged on the second floor. The candidate of the repair member which can be modeled within the material remaining amount which 20b has is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (A), the 3D printer 20a arranged on the first floor has a very high tensile strength, a coarse roughness or a standard repair member, a high tensile strength, and a coarse density. A rough, standard or smooth repair member can be shaped. In this manner, in the 3D printer 20a, repair member candidates that can be shaped within the remaining material amount are determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the 3D printer 20b arranged on the second floor has a strong tensile strength, a rough coarse density, a standard or smooth repair member, and a high tensile strength. A rough or standard repair member can be formed. In this manner, in the 3D printer 20b, repair member candidates that can be shaped within the remaining material amount are determined.

  Here, the modeling member notification unit 11d of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 is a candidate for a repair member that can be modeled within the remaining amount of materials of the plurality of materials acquired from the 3D printers 20a and 20b, and has predetermined physical properties or / In addition, a candidate for a repairable member having quality that can be formed may be notified. The material table stored in the storage unit 12 is registered in association with the physical properties or / and quality required for the construction member, and a material capable of forming a repair member having the registered physical properties or / and quality is registered. You may be notified. In the present embodiment, a candidate for a repairable member that can be shaped, whose coarse density that is the quality of the repair member is standard or smooth, is notified.

  Next, in step S905, the modeling member notifying unit 11d of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 selects one or a plurality of repair member candidates that can be modeled using the determined material, the physical properties of the repair member candidates, and / or And notify with quality. Note that, as described above, when the volume of the repair member is equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio with respect to the volume of the construction member before the damaged construction member, the modeling member notification unit 11d displays the member itself before the damage. Are determined as candidate members.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the modeling member notification unit 11 d displays, on the display unit 13 of the server 10, a repair member candidate that can be modeled within the remaining amount of material, along with the tensile strength and coarse density of the repair member. Display and notify the operator of the server 10.

  Here, the modeling member notifying unit 11d selects the 3D printer arranged at the closest position with respect to the position where the 3D scanner 30 is arranged, and informs the display unit 13 of the server 10 to model the repair member. indicate. Thereby, a repair member can be modeled using the 3D printer arrange | positioned in the position nearest to the damaged construction member.

  For example, the modeling member notification unit 11d estimates the position where the 3D scanner 30 is arranged based on the position of the router to which the 3D scanner 30 is connected, and is closest to the position where the 3D scanner 30 is arranged. A 3D printer arranged at a position may be selected. Further, when the position in the building under construction where each construction member is used is associated and registered in the three-dimensional shape information table 12b of the construction member stored in the storage unit 12, a modeling member notification unit 11d obtains the position in the building under construction where the construction member is used based on the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged construction member, and is arranged at a position closest to the obtained position in the building. A 3D printer may be selected. The server 10 stores the positions of the 3D printers 20a and 20b in the storage unit 12.

  Next, in step S907, the operator of the server 10 uses the operation unit 14 to select a repair member candidate to be modeled from among the repair member candidates displayed on the display unit 13. The member modeling instruction unit 11e of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 inputs information indicating the selected repair member candidate.

  Next, in step S909, the member modeling instruction unit 11e of the processing unit 11 of the server 10 determines a repair member to be modeled based on information indicating a candidate repair member input by the operation unit 14. The member modeling instruction unit 11e models the selected repairable member using the 3D printers 20a and 20b based on the three-dimensional shape information of the damaged portion generated by the repair member information generation unit 11a.

  According to the system of the present embodiment described above, a repair member having predetermined physical properties and / or quality can be formed within the remaining amount of material of the 3D printer. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the work efficiency by repairing the damaged construction member quickly using the repair member at the construction site.

  In the present invention, the information processing system, the information processing apparatus, and the information processing method according to the above-described embodiments can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, for a material that does not have enough material remaining in the 3D printer, the server 10 may be able to place an order for the material via the network N.

  In addition, when the server 10 manages the process at the construction site R based on BPM (Business Process Management), the remaining material of the 3D printer is insufficient, and the repair member is immediately formed. When there is not, the process control may be performed such that the process including the damaged construction member is interrupted and the other processes are advanced.

  Further, the server 10 may record repair information (date and time, material information, position in the construction member) for the repair member. For example, a one-dimensional code or two-dimensional code including repair information may be formed on the surface of the repair member using a 3D printer.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the storage unit 12 stores the amount of each of the plurality of materials used per unit volume of the repair member when modeling the repair member having different physical properties or / and quality. . The memory | storage part 12 should just memorize | store the usage-amount of the at least 1 material used per unit volume of a repair member when modeling the repair member from which a physical property differs at least. Moreover, the memory | storage part 12 should just memorize | store the usage-amount of the at least 1 material used per unit volume of a repair member when modeling the repair member from which quality differs at least.

  In addition, the information processing system, the information processing apparatus, and the information processing method according to the above-described embodiment may not form the repair member. The information processing system, the information processing apparatus, and the information processing method according to the above-described embodiments may be configured to form members having different physical properties or members having different qualities.
