[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a three-dimensional shape has been designed (modeled) using CAD (computer aided design) before manufacturing or processing a part or the like. This conventional modeling method includes a non-historical modeling method in which a desired shape is designed by directly designating a surface, a ridgeline, or a vertex, and a shape in which a shape to be created, for example, a hole, a projection, a fillet, or the like is used as a processing source. There is a historical modeling technique such as feature-based parametric modeling (FBP modeling) for designing a desired shape by adding to a model.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A CAD system which is a preferred embodiment of a design program and a design method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a CAD system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the CAD system 1 has an input device 11, a display unit 12, a design processing unit 13, an equipment database 14, a processing shape database 15, a processing shape storage unit 16, and a completed shape storage unit 17.
[0023]
Here, the input unit 11 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and the display unit 12 is a display device such as a liquid crystal panel and a display.
[0024]
The equipment database 14 is a database that stores information on processing machines and tools that can be used at the processing site. The processing shape database 15 is a database that stores information on processing shapes executable by various processing machines and tools. is there. Further, the processing shape storage unit 16 is a storage unit for storing a processing shape specified by the user, and the completed shape storage unit 17 is a storage unit for storing design data after performing the processing specified by the user. is there.
[0025]
These databases and storage means are realized by a storage medium such as a hard disk. Note that the equipment database 14, the processed shape database 15, the processed shape storage unit 16, and the completed shape storage unit 17 may be stored in independent storage media, or may be partially or entirely stored in a single storage medium. It is good.
[0026]
The design processing unit 13 includes a used equipment setting unit 13a, a processing operation setting unit 13b, a processing shape generation unit 13c, and a completed shape calculation unit 13d. The used equipment setting unit 13a receives an input from the input unit 11, and selects equipment to be used from the processing machines and tools stored in the equipment database 14.
[0027]
Further, the processing operation setting unit 13b sets the contents of the processing to be executed using the processing machine and the tool selected in the used equipment setting unit 13a. Specifically, the operation of the processing that can be executed using the selected processing machine and tool is displayed, an input from the input unit 11 is received, and the operation of the processing and the amount of the processing are determined. At this time, since the information that needs to be input differs depending on the shape of the processing, the contents to be input are read from the processing shape database 15. Note that some of the information that needs to be input is automatically determined by the equipment to be used, and information that can be automatically determined is read from the equipment database 14.
[0028]
The processing shape generation unit 13c generates a processing shape obtained when the processing operation determined by the processing operation setting unit 13b is executed, and stores the processing shape in the processing shape storage unit 16. Further, the completed shape calculation unit 13d performs an operation of combining the processing shape generated by the processing shape generation unit 13c with the shape of the material to be processed, and stores the calculation result in the completed shape storage unit 17. In the case of performing further processing on a material that has been subjected to some processing in advance, since the previous processing result is stored in the completed shape storage unit 17, the completed shape calculation unit 13 d The stored previous calculation result is used as the material shape of the processing source.
[0029]
That is, in the CAD system 1, a user performs design by selecting equipment available on site and designating a machining operation. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the outline of the design by the CAD system 1. When designing by the CAD system 1, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, a machine to be used for machining is selected from machining machines available at a machining site. In FIG. 2A, as a usable processing machine, a processing machine to be used is selected from “lathe”, “milling machine” and “drilling machine”, and the user has selected “drilling machine”.
[0030]
After selecting a processing machine to be used, as shown in FIG. 2B, a tool to be used is selected from tools available to be mounted on the selected processing machine. In FIG. 2B, a tool to be used is selected from "drill", "smooth" and "tap" as tools that can be mounted on the "drilling machine", and the user has selected "smooth". Here, if necessary, the size of the tool to be used is also selected.
[0031]
Subsequently, the CAD system 1 allows the user to select an executable work content based on the selected processing machine and tool, as shown in FIG. Here, as the operation to be performed by mounting “Saraomi” on the “drilling machine”, the operation content is selected from “Chamfer” and “Saraomi”, and the user has selected “Chamfer”.
[0032]
After that, as shown in FIG. 2D, the CAD system 1 allows the user to select a machining position and a movement amount with respect to the source material. As described above, by selecting a processing machine and a tool that can be used at a processing site and designating the work content by the selected processing machine / tool, a shape obtained as a result of the processing can be designed. In this design, by performing the design based on the actually usable processing device and tool, it is possible to prevent a design error of performing an unworkable design beforehand.
[0033]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by inputting the processing dimensions using information determined by the selected processing apparatus and tool, the amount of information input by the user can be reduced. In FIG. 3, the selection of the tool “smoothing” to be used makes it possible to acquire the diameter α and the opening angle β of the “smoothing” from the equipment database 14. Therefore, the angle Y and the chamfer dimension C can be automatically calculated without requiring the user to input a dimension.
[0034]
Next, the equipment database 14 will be described in detail. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating data stored in the facility database 14. As shown in the figure, the equipment database 14 has a processing machine list 14a, operation definition data 14b, available tool data 14c, tool data 14d, and tool model data 14e. The processing machine list 14a is data indicating processing machines that can be used at the processing site. The processing machine list 14a is associated with operation definition data 14b and available tool data 14c.
[0035]
The operation definition data 14b is data indicating types of operations that can be selected when processing is performed using a processing machine. The available tool data 14c is data indicating a combination of tools that can be used by being mounted on the processing machine, and is associated with the tool data 14d and the tool model data 14e.
[0036]
The tool data 14d is data relating to a tool that can be used at the machining site, and the tool model data 14e is data indicating the shape of the tool.
[0037]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example of the processing machine list 14a. As shown in the drawing, the processing machine list 14a has items of “No”, “machine name”, “operation definition”, and “available tools”. The item “No” is a number used to specify a processing machine. The item “operation definition” is used to designate operation definition data corresponding to the processing machine. By searching the operation definition data 14b using the value of this item as a key, an operation executable using the processing machine is performed. You can get the type of
[0038]
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the operation definition data 14b. As shown in the figure, the motion definition data 14b has items of “definition file name”, “rotational motion”, “vertical degree of freedom”, and “horizontal degree of freedom”. The item “definition file name” is a file name used for specifying the operation definition, and corresponds to the item “operation definition” in the processing machine list 14a. In addition, each item of “rotational motion”, “vertical degree of freedom” and “left / right degree of freedom” indicates whether or not to perform a rotational movement and whether there is a degree of freedom in the vertical direction in the operation indicated by the definition file name. No, and whether there is a degree of freedom in the left-right direction.
[0039]
That is, the processing machine that performs the operations defined by the definition file names “MD1” and “MD2” has a degree of freedom in the rotation direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction when performing the processing, but the definition file name “MD3” The processing machine that performs the operation defined by the above has a degree of freedom in the rotation direction and the vertical direction when performing the processing, but does not have a degree of freedom in the horizontal direction.
[0040]
In other words, the processing machine that performs the operation defined by the operation file names “MD1” and “MD2” has three items of the rotation amount, the vertical movement amount, and the horizontal movement amount in order to uniquely determine the processing contents. The processing machine that performs the operation defined by the operation file name “MD3” only needs to specify two items of the rotation amount and the vertical movement amount in order to uniquely determine the processing content.
[0041]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a specific example of the available tool data 14c. As shown in the drawing, the available tool data 14c stores available tools for each processing machine. More specifically, FIG. 7 shows that a reamer and a drill can be mounted on a drilling machine.
[0042]
Further, “detailed information” and “model data” are associated with each of the reamer and the drill. "Detailed information" indicates detailed information of a tool by specifying an information storage position in the tool data 14d. The “model data” indicates the shape of the tool by specifying the information storage position in the tool model data 14e.
[0043]
FIG. 8 shows a specific example of the tool data 14d. As shown in the drawing, the tool data 14d stores detailed information of a tool for each tool shape such as a drill, a reamer, and a tap. In FIG. 14, the tool data 14d stores information such as a drill 1, a drill 2, and a drill 3 as tools classified as drills. In addition, for each drill, information on items of “kind”, “cross-sectional shape”, “diameter”, “machining accuracy”, “rotational speed”, “material”, and “machining shape” is stored.
[0044]
For example, “Drill 1” has a cross-sectional shape of “circular”, a diameter of “R1”, a processing accuracy of “1/10”, a rotational speed of “2000 rpm”, a material of “steel 1”, and a processed shape of “Sweep”. Hole. " Similarly, the “drill 2” has a cross-sectional shape of “circular”, a diameter of “R2”, a processing accuracy of “1/10”, a rotational speed of “2000 rpm”, a material of “steel 1”, and a processed shape of “drill 2”. Sweep hole ". The “drill 3” has a cross-sectional shape of “oval”, a diameter of “R5”, a processing accuracy of “1/20”, an anti-rotation speed of “1000 rpm”, a material of “steel 2”, and a processed shape of “Drill 3”. Sweep hole ".
[0045]
As described above, by searching the tool data 14d based on the value indicated in the item "detailed information" in the available tool data 14c, detailed information on the tool can be obtained, and the tool can be used. It can be used for calculation of the processing shape obtained in this case.
[0046]
On the other hand, the tool model data 14e is image data for displaying the shape of each tool on the screen as a simple image. FIG. 9 shows a specific example of the tool model data. As shown in the drawing, the tool model data 14e stores an image indicating the shape of each of the tools such as a drill, a tap, and a reamer. Therefore, when a tool to be used is selected from the available tool data 14c, a corresponding image can be read from the tool model data 14e and displayed on the screen. Therefore, the user can confirm which tool is to be used and which position is to be machined in a form close to the actual work at the site, and can easily perform the design.
[0047]
Next, the machining shape database 15 will be described in detail. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating data stored in the processed shape database 15. As shown in the drawing, the processed shape database 15 has a processed shape list 15a, cross-sectional shape data 15b, cross-sectional shape dimensions 15c, and a processing information data structure 15d. The processing shape list 15a is data indicating a processing shape that can be formed at the processing site. The processing shape list 15a is associated with a cross-sectional shape data structure 15b and a cross-sectional shape dimension 15c.
[0048]
The cross-sectional shape data structure 15b is data indicating the relationship between the processed shape and the cross-sectional shape. The cross-sectional shape size 15c is further associated with the cross-sectional shape data structure 15b. On the other hand, the processing information data structure 15c is data indicating items that need to be set with respect to the operation during processing.
[0049]
FIG. 11 shows a specific example of the machining shape list 15a. As shown in the drawing, the processed shape list 15a has an item indicating a cross-sectional shape and an item indicating an attached dimension for the processed shape. In FIG. 11, items indicating the cross-sectional shape and the attached dimensions are set for “sweep projection”, “sweep hole”, “rotation projection”, “rotation hole”, and the like as the processing shapes.
[0050]
The item “cross-sectional shape” specifically stores a value for specifying a data structure for a predetermined cross-sectional shape from the cross-sectional shape data structure 15b. The item “attached dimension” specifically stores a value for specifying a data structure for a predetermined processing information from the processing information data structure 15d.
[0051]
FIG. 12 shows a specific example of the cross-sectional shape data structure 15b. As shown in the figure. The cross-sectional shape data structure 15b indicates the cross-sectional shape and the dimension attached to the cross-section for each of the processing contents. Specifically, in the case of processing a sweep hole, the processing shape, the cross-sectional shape, and the dimension attached to the cross-section are stored. The dimension attached to this cross section is further associated with the cross sectional shape dimension 15c shown in FIG.
[0052]
For example, if the cross-sectional shape of the sweep hole is circular, by referring to the cross-sectional shape dimension 15c, it is understood that it is necessary to input a "diameter" in order to uniquely set the cross-section. Similarly, in the case of a machined shape having a rectangular cross section, by referring to the cross-sectional shape size 15c, it is understood that it is necessary to input the "diameter dimension" and the "horizontal dimension" in order to uniquely set the cross section.
[0053]
That is, by sequentially referring to the processing shape list 15a, the cross-sectional shape data structure 15b, and the cross-sectional shape size 15c, the cross-sectional shape in the desired processing shape and the types of dimensions necessary for setting the cross-sectional shape are determined. You can know.
[0054]
On the other hand, FIG. 14 shows a specific example of the processing information data structure 15d. As shown in the drawing, the processing information data structure 15d indicates, for each of the processing contents, dimensions required to uniquely determine the operation at the time of processing. Specifically, in the case of processing a sweep hole, “depth dimension” and “diagonal dimension” are stored.
[0055]
That is, by referring to the processing information data structure 15d, it is possible to know the dimensions that need to be input in order to uniquely determine the operation during the processing in the desired processing shape.
[0056]
With the data structure for cross-sectional shape 15b and the data structure for processing structure 15d, it is possible to select all items that need to be input for a desired processing shape. Therefore, by allowing the user to input these items or inputting values determined by the tool, it is possible to calculate the shape and dimensions obtained when the machining is performed.
[0057]
Next, the processing operation of the design processing unit 13 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating the processing operation of the design processing unit 13. As shown in the figure, first, the used equipment setting unit 13a reads out and displays the types of usable processing machines from the equipment database 14 (step S101), and accepts selection of a processing machine (step S102).
[0058]
If the processing machine is selected by the user, the used equipment setting unit 13a reads out and displays the type of tool that can be mounted on the selected processing machine from the equipment database 14 (step S103), and selects the tool to be used. Accept (Step S104).
[0059]
When the tool is selected by the user, the used equipment setting unit 13a reads and displays the detailed information of the selected tool from the equipment database 14 (step S105), and the machining operation setting unit 13b receives an input of a machining position. Then, the model data of the tool is displayed on the screen (step S106).
[0060]
Next, the machining operation setting unit 13b receives the input of the moving amount of the tool (step S107), and if all the information necessary for specifying the machining shape is obtained, the machining shape generation unit 13c sets the machining shape. It is generated (step S108).
[0061]
Thereafter, the completed shape calculation unit 13d combines the processed shape calculated by the processed shape generation unit 13c with the original shape to create a completed shape (step S109), and displays the completed shape on the display unit 12, The process ends.
[0062]
Next, an operation screen displayed on the display unit 12 by the CAD system 1 will be described. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an operation screen for selecting a processing machine and a tool. As shown in the figure, the operation screen 31 displays usable processing machines, types of work contents and types of tools in association with each other. Further, an input button for receiving an input from the user is displayed for the type of work content and the type of tool. The user can select a work content and a tool by designating the input button with a pointing device such as a mouse.
[0063]
In FIG. 16, the user has selected “drilling machine” as the processing machine, “drilling” as the work content, and “drill” as the tool. Here, the work contents and tools corresponding to each processing device are displayed at the same time, but this display is not necessarily performed at the same time. For example, the work contents corresponding to the case where a processing machine is selected are displayed, and the work contents are displayed. A configuration may be adopted in which the type of tool corresponding to the case where is selected is displayed.
[0064]
After selecting the processing machine and the tool to be used for processing in this way, it is necessary to select the size of the tool. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an operation screen for selecting a tool size. In FIG. 17, the operation screen 32 shows the images and the diameters of the drills D1, D2, and D3. Further, by designating any of the drills D1 to D3 with a pointing device such as a mouse, it is possible to display the operation screen 33 that provides detailed information of the designated tool.
[0065]
After selecting the tool to be used on the operation screen 32, the machining shape can be calculated by designating the moving amount (movement amount) of the tool. FIG. 18 shows a specific example of the processing shape calculation. In the figure, a movement amount “Z” is designated by using a drill 41. By retrieving the information of the drill 41 from the equipment database 14, the diameter “X”, the opening angle “β”, and the processing accuracy “1/10” can be automatically obtained. There is no need to enter the value of.
[0066]
By combining the processing shape 51 thus created with the shape of the processing source, a completed shape can be obtained. FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram illustrating calculation of a completed shape. In the figure, a completed shape 53 is created by combining a processing shape 51 with a processing source shape 52.
[0067]
As described above, in the CAD system 1 according to the present embodiment, information on processing machines and tools that can be used at the actual processing site is stored in the equipment database 14, and the processing machines and tools to be used are selected. Since the machining shape is designed by designating the machining operation, the design can be performed based on the actual situation of the machining site, thereby reducing design errors and improving the design efficiency.
[0068]
Further, by automatically inputting a value determined from the tool information, the amount of information required to be input to the user can be reduced, and the design can be simplified.
[0069]
Furthermore, since the design is performed based on the actual work content, the work procedure can be determined at the same time as the design of the shape, so that the NC process for creating the work procedure from the CAD drawing data can be omitted. Processing efficiency up to manufacturing can be improved.
[0070]
In the CAD system according to the present embodiment, the equipment information is stored inside the CAD system. For example, the equipment is connected to a processing site via a network, and information on a processing machine or a tool is obtained via the network. You may make it.
[0071]
Furthermore, the used equipment design unit 13a, the processing operation setting unit 13b, the processing shape generation unit 13c, and the completed shape calculation unit 13d shown in the present embodiment do not necessarily need to be physically independent processing units. A program for realizing the above function may be stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk, and the processor may sequentially read and execute the program.
