Description

  The present invention relates to a manufacturability support system and a manufacturability support program that provide information for determining whether processing costs, component costs, and the like of an apparatus designed using a CAD (Computer Aided Design) system are appropriate in manufacturing.

  The ease (manufacturability) of the designed device depends largely on the experience of the designer. For this reason, even if the same device is designed, the manufacturability varies greatly depending on the designer, and it rebounds on cost, so DR (Design Review) is performed at a stage during the design or at the end of the design, and the design is reviewed. Is generally performed. This DR evaluates a wide range of devices designed by experts in the design and manufacturing departments in terms of ease of making, assembly, and surface treatment based on experience, cost, design quality, etc. It is.

  Recent device designs are often designed using a CAD system, and a method for evaluating manufacturability using CAD data has also been proposed. For example, there is an apparatus that estimates an assembling method or a processing method based on component information read from a CAD database, indexes the ease of manufacturing, calculates the index, and determines the most desirable manufacturing method (Patent Document 1). ).

  In addition, a method has been proposed in which a drawing function and graphic information are extracted and work information for processing is created from these information to calculate a work cost in designating drawing of a three-dimensional model that is CAD data (patent) Reference 2).

JP-A-5-114003 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-245071

  As described above, the evaluation by DR in the evaluation of manufacturability is based on the experience of the evaluator, and the evaluation may vary depending on the evaluator. Moreover, the evaluation result tends to be qualitative, and for example, it has not been required to obtain a quantitative value as to how much the processing method that the evaluator requested to improve affects the overall cost. This is because when you want to obtain a quantitative value, while looking at the part shape, assembly drawing, etc., the material list (material property value, material supply size, material unit price, etc.) and processing conditions (processing method, processing metal, processing accuracy) This is because the assembly conditions and the like are checked manually (manual work), and it takes a lot of time.

  The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 automatically obtains an optimum processing method and work cost, but is effective when automatically determining a processing method for a specific apparatus. This is difficult to apply to a variety of culinary devices.

  Further, since the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 requires a machining operation from drawing designation, it is effective when it is possible to extract a machining portion without omission and to obtain a rough estimate of the operation cost. However, each machining cost (working cost) is obtained by reflecting the accuracy of each machining location, and the ratio of the machining cost of the part to the whole is not possible, and it cannot be obtained.

  The present invention provides a manufacturability support system that presents information related to manufacturability such as processing costs and component costs based on CAD data designed by a CAD system. By presenting manufacturability information by this system, for example, the designer intends to review the design and improve the design quality.

The material cost element includes, for example, a material size (a standard size supplied as a material), a material unit cost, and the like. It is. The material unit cost is the cost of the material with the dimensions indicated in the material size.

  The surface treatment information storage unit 400 stores a surface treatment cost element for obtaining a surface treatment cost corresponding to a material (name) that is a material for performing the surface treatment and a surface treatment method. Surface treatment unit size and surface treatment unit cost. The surface treatment unit cost is the surface treatment cost when the surface treatment unit size is surface treated.

Then, each cost (processing cost, material cost, surface treatment cost) for this part is obtained, and these are combined to be a part cost. The part cost is calculated for each part constituting the apparatus.

  The cost ratio calculation unit 21 adds up the component costs of each component obtained by the component cost calculation unit 40 to obtain an apparatus cost, and obtains a cost ratio for each part with respect to the apparatus cost.

  The display means 31 displays a component having a ratio of each component equal to or greater than a predetermined value in a predetermined color.

For example, the fastening release direction can be determined from the screwed portion to the head portion to be tightened with a screwdriver, and the position where the screw is arranged can be set as the fastening position.

  The 2nd fastening information acquisition means 51 inputs the fastening position and the fastening cancellation | release direction with an operator with respect to the fastening location of the non-fastening components which are not fastened by fastening components, and acquires the information. For example, in the case of fastening by adhesion, the operator specifies the position (fastening position) and the peeling direction (fastening release direction).

  The disassembling order determining means 60 is based on the disassembling definition predetermined by the fastening position, the fastening release direction and the assembly information obtained by the first fastening information acquiring means 50 and the second fastening information acquiring means 51.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 shows the structure of the manufacturability support system according to the present invention, but shows only the structure necessary for the present invention.

  The manufacturability support system 1000 includes a CPU 500 that controls program execution and data, an input / output control unit 600 that controls input / output devices, a manufacturability support processing unit 700 that performs manufacturability support processing, and a CAD design information DB (database). ) 800, processing information DB 801, material information DB 802, and surface treatment information DB 803.

  The input / output control unit 600 is connected to a keyboard 601 that receives instructions from an operator and a display 602 that displays processing results.

  The manufacturability support processing unit 700 is a program developed on a memory (not shown), and includes a processing cost processing unit 701, a part cost processing unit 702, a disassembly order processing unit 703, and a processing waste discharge weight processing unit 704. And a surface treatment suitability processing unit 705. Each process of the manufacturability support processing unit 700 will be described.

  The machining cost processing unit 701 obtains a machining cost when the designed part is machined by a machining method specified by the designer, and gives a predetermined color to a machining surface having a high ratio to the machining cost of the entire part. The process to attach and display.

  The component cost processing unit 702 calculates the cost required for processing, material, and surface treatment for each component that constitutes the device, and adds a predetermined color to a component that has a high ratio of the component cost to the device cost. Process to display.

  When disassembling the assembled apparatus, the disassembly order processing unit 703 obtains a fastening position and a fastening release direction, and performs a process of determining the disassembly order of the parts constituting the apparatus.

  The processing waste discharge weight processing unit 704 calculates the size of the material for processing the part, calculates the ratio between the weight of the processing waste discharged when the part is cut out from the material and the weight of the material before processing, A process of displaying the weight ratio of a component having a ratio equal to or greater than a preset value, its material, and machining waste is performed.

  The surface treatment suitability processing unit 705 checks whether or not the surface treatment specified by the designer is suitable for the material of the material, and if not, performs a process of displaying an alarm indicating that the surface treatment for the part is inappropriate. .

  Next, the database shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

  The CAD design information DB 800 includes, for example, a flag indicating the shape information of each part to which an ID is assigned, the material designated by the designer for the part, the processing method, the surface treatment method, and whether the part is a fastening part or a non-fastening part. And the like, and the assembly information which is the component arrangement when the components are assembled is stored. Among the component attributes, the machining method is designated for each machining surface of each component (each component has one or more machining surfaces).

  The processing information DB 801 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 and includes fields of “processing No.”, “processing method”, “material name”, “processing unit size”, and “processing unit cost”. The processing number data of “db-K1” indicates that the processing method is “milling” processing, the material is “iron”, and the cost when performing “100 × 100” milling processing is “100 yen”. It shows that.

  The material information DB 802 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 and includes fields of “material No.”, “material name”, “specific gravity”, “material size”, and “material unit cost”. The data of the material number “db-Z1” is “aluminum”, the specific gravity is “2.56”, and the standard material size is “100 × 1000 × 5” “plate material” and its cost. Is "500 yen".

  The surface treatment information DB 803 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 and includes fields of “surface treatment No”, “surface treatment method”, “material name”, “surface treatment unit size”, and “surface treatment unit cost”. The surface treatment number data of “db-H1” is that the surface treatment method is “nickel plating”, and the material to be plated is “aluminum”, and the surface treatment cost when plating the size of “50 × 50” is It means “100 yen”.

  Next, a flow for obtaining the ratio of the machining cost specified for the machining surface of the part to the machining cost of the entire part by the processing of the machining cost processing unit 701 and displaying the machining surface where the ratio is equal to or greater than the set value will be described. .

  FIG. 10 shows a processing flow of the machining cost processing unit 701. First, part information of a part designated by the operator is read from the CAD design information DB 800. (S101).

  Information on the specified material and the processing method of one processing surface is extracted from the component attributes of the read component information. On the other hand, the first record is extracted from the processing information DB 801, and it is checked whether the material and processing method specified by the component attribute match the material name and processing method in the processing information DB 801. If they do not match, the next record is extracted from the processing information DB 801 and examined in the same manner. If they match, the machining cost for this machining surface is obtained from the shape of the machining surface included in the component information, the machining unit size and machining unit cost in the machining information DB 801. For example, if the processing method specified in the component information is milling, the material is aluminum, and the shape of the processed surface is 40 × 20 (mm), db-K4 in the processing information DB 801 corresponds to this, and the shape of the processed surface Is within the processing size, the processing cost at this time is 150 yen. This process is performed on all processed surfaces. (S102 to S105).

  Since the machining cost is calculated for each machining surface, the machining costs for all the machining surfaces are totaled to obtain the total machining cost. Subsequently, the processing cost ratio is obtained by the following equation.

Machining cost ratio = Machining surface machining cost / Overall machining cost A machining surface in which the machining ratio of the machining surface obtained is higher than the preset machining cost ratio preset by the designer is displayed in red in FIG. In other cases, the processed surface is displayed in monochrome. This is performed for all the processed surfaces. (S106 to S111).

  The result obtained in the processing flow shown above is, for example, as shown in FIG. 11. When the set machining cost ratio is “0.15” (15%), M4 and M5 on the machining surface correspond to this. To do. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the processed surface is displayed with an emphasis on a processed surface that exceeds the set processing cost ratio. Further, when the content of machining is the same as in M4 and M5, a comment as shown in FIG. 12 is attached to one of the machining surfaces.

  Next, a flow for obtaining a cost ratio for each part by processing of the part cost processing unit 702 and displaying a part whose ratio is equal to or greater than a set value will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, a part information record of one part constituting the apparatus is read from the CAD design information DB 800. Then, the machining cost for this part is obtained by a machining cost calculation routine. This machining cost calculation routine is the same as the processing of S102 to S106 in FIG. (S201, S202).

  Next, in order to obtain the material cost, one record is read from the material information DB 802, the data in the “material name” field matches the material specified by the component attribute, and the machining allowance is set to the outermost dimension of the shape information. Check if the added dimension is smaller than the data in the “Material Size” field. If only one part can be obtained from the material size with this dimension, the value of the material unit cost becomes the material cost as it is, but for example, if two pieces can be obtained, the material cost is ½ of the material unit cost. Subsequently, regarding the surface treatment cost, the surface treatment unit size and the surface treatment unit cost of the record corresponding to the material specified in the component attribute and the surface treatment method are obtained by referring to the surface treatment information DB 803 and obtained from the shape information. The surface treatment cost is calculated from the surface area of the component (ie, surface treatment cost = surface area of the component × surface treatment unit cost / surface treatment unit size). Since the costs of processing, material, and surface treatment are obtained for one part, these are added together to obtain the part cost, and the part cost is obtained for all parts constituting the apparatus. When all the parts costs are obtained, all the parts are added up to obtain the device cost. (S203 to S210).

  Subsequently, the component cost ratio is obtained by the following equation.

Part cost ratio = Part cost / Equipment cost Parts whose ratio exceeds the preset part cost ratio are displayed in red on a display 602 (not shown in FIG. 13). Other parts are displayed in monochrome translucent. This is processed for all parts. (S211 to S214).

  The result obtained by the processing flow shown above is as shown in FIG. 14, for example. When the set processing cost ratio is “0.15” (15%), the part B5 corresponds to this. The displayed example is shown in FIG.

  Next, a method for assigning the order of parts to be disassembled by the disassembly order processing unit 703 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, a part information record of one part constituting the apparatus is read from the CAD design information DB 800. By looking at the part attribute in the record, it is determined whether or not the part is a fastening part. If the part is not a fastening part (that is, if it is a non-fastening part), the part information of the next part is read from the CAD design information DB 800. . When the read part is a fastening part, assembly information is read from the CAD design information DB 800, and the origin position of the fastening part where the fastening part is arranged is set as a fastening position. Further, the fastening release direction is determined based on the shape information of the fastening part. The fastening release direction may be input by the designer. This information is written in the part attribute of the fastening part. Further, the same fastening position and fastening release direction information is written to the part attribute of the non-fastened part fastened by this fastened part. This process is performed for all the parts constituting the apparatus. (S301 to S305).

  Next, an operator inputs a fastening position and a fastening release direction for a non-fastened part that is fastened by other than a fastening part such as a screw such as adhesion, and writes the information in the part attribute of the non-fastened part. (S306).

  Since the position and release direction information has been obtained for all the fastening points, the disassembly order of the parts is determined using the disassembly order determination routine. (S307).

  Next, the processing flow of the disassembly order determination routine will be described with reference to FIG. First, the component information of one component is read from the CAD design information DB 800, and it is checked whether or not the disassembly order is attached to the component attribute (whether or not it has been written). End. If there is a part that has not been disassembled, proceed to the next step. That is, here, it is checked whether there is a part whose disassembly order is undetermined. (S401, S402).

  If there is a part for which the disassembly order has not been determined, the CAD design information DB 800 is referred to, and an outermost shape at the time of assembly is generated from the part whose disassembly order has not been determined and assembly information. Then, one piece of component information is taken out from the CAD design information DB 800 again, it is confirmed that the disassembly order has not been determined, and it is determined whether or not the component is a component in contact with the outermost shape. If it is the outermost part, it is stored in Work 900. When this process is performed on the parts constituting the process, the parts constituting the outermost outline are extracted from the work 900. (S403-S407).

  From the Work 900, the part with the uppermost fastening position is read out, and the CAD design information DB 800 is checked for any part that interferes with the fastening release direction of the part. The part attribute is determined by examining the part attribute. If it is a fastening part, the disassembly number is written in the part attribute of the fastening part. The dismantling number at this time is taken as a serial number in ascending order, for example. Subsequently, the dismantling number is written in the part attribute of the non-fastening part fastened to the fastening part (since the dismantling position is the same and can be easily determined). When the uppermost part is a non-fastening part, if there is a fastening part for fastening the non-fastening part, the disassembly number is written in the order of the fastening part and then the non-fastening part. If there is no fastening part (there is no fastening part in the case of adhesion or the like), the disassembly number is written only in the non-fastening part. Here, the ordering is performed from the parts located at the upper part and the fastening parts among the parts located at the outermost contour. When the above processing is completed, the processing is repeated from S401. That is, when one non-fastened part is removed, the outermost shape is generated again, and it is disassembled from the part located at the upper part in contact with the generated new outermost shape. (S408-S412).

  In this disassembly order determination routine, the parts that contact the outermost shell are disassembled preferentially, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  Next, a method of displaying an alarm for a part having a large amount of waste after the part is cut out from a specified material size by the processing of the processing waste discharge weight processing unit 704 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The part information of the designated part is read from the CAD design information DB 800, and then the material information for one record is read from the top of the material information DB 802. The material specified by the component attribute is compared with the data in the material name field of the material information DB 802. If the material attribute is different, the next material information record is read. If they match, the outermost dimension is obtained from the read part shape information, and if the part shape obtained by adding the machining allowance is larger than the material size, the next material information record is read. If this part shape is within the material size, the number (N) of parts that can be cut out from this material size is obtained. (S501 to S506).

  Next, the weight of the material from which one part is cut out is obtained (ie, material weight = material size × specific gravity / N), then the volume of the part is obtained from the shape information, and the part weight is obtained based on the specific gravity (ie, , Part weight = part volume × specific gravity). Further, the machining waste discharge weight is obtained as a difference between the material weight and the part weight, and a machining waste discharge ratio which is a ratio between the material weight and the machining waste discharge weight is obtained (that is, the machining waste discharge ratio = the machining waste discharge weight / the material. weight). (S507 to S510).

  When the processing waste discharge ratio is larger than a preset value (set processing waste discharge ratio), an alarm including a part ID, a material number, and a processing waste discharge ratio is displayed. When the processing waste discharge ratio is smaller than the set processing waste discharge ratio, no alarm is displayed. The above processing is performed for all parts. (S511, S512).

  Next, a method for examining whether or not the surface treatment specified by the designer is appropriate by the processing of the surface treatment suitability processing unit 705 will be described with reference to FIG.

  One piece of component information is read from the CAD design information DB 800, and then the surface treatment information for one record is read from the top of the surface treatment information DB 803. The material specified by the component attribute of the component information is compared with the data in the material name field of the surface treatment information DB 803. If the material is different, the next record of the surface treatment information is read. If they match, the surface treatment method specified by the component information is compared with the data in the surface treatment method field of the surface treatment information, and if they match, the surface treatment method specified matches. If not, the next record is read from the surface treatment information DB 803. If there is no match with the designated surface treatment method even if the last record of the surface treatment information DB 803 is performed, the designated surface treatment method is not suitable, and the part ID and the designated surface treatment method are indicated. Display alarms. In other words, the material stored in the surface treatment information DB 803 and the surface treatment method for the material are stored as appropriate surface treatment methods, and the surface treatment methods not stored here are inappropriate. (S601 to S605).
