The marking work support system 100 is a system that supports the marking work for the object O. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the object O is fixed to the fixed support device S.

  The marking work support system 100 includes an information processing device 110 and a coordinate measuring machine 130.

  The coordinate measuring machine 130 is a device having a probing system and capable of moving the probing system and determining spatial coordinates on the surface of the object O. Here, the probing system is a system including a probe and, if present, a probe extension, a probe exchange system, a stylus, a stylus exchange system, and a stylus extension. A probe is a device that generates a signal during probing. Probing is an operation for determining coordinate values. A stylus is a mechanical device composed of a stylus tip and a stylus shaft. The stylus tip is a mechanical element that comes into contact with the object O. The stylus tip according to the present embodiment also serves as a marking means for marking the object O. As the marking means, for example, a configuration in which ink is collected at the tip of the stylus tip can be considered.

  The information processing apparatus 110 is an apparatus that performs information processing based on the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130. The information processing apparatus 110 is communicatively connected to the coordinate measuring machine 130.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the marking work support system 100 includes one information processing apparatus 110 and a coordinate measuring machine 130 will be described for the purpose of preventing the description from becoming complicated. However, the marking work support system 100 may include a plurality of information processing apparatuses 110 and coordinate measuring machines 130.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a block configuration of the information processing apparatus 110. The information processing apparatus 110 includes a spatial coordinate data reception unit 111, a coordinate calculation unit 112, a marking unit 113, and an image output unit 114.

  The spatial coordinate data receiving unit 111 receives data indicating the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 from the coordinate measuring machine 130.

  When the probing using the coordinate measuring machine 130 is performed, the coordinate calculating unit 112 calculates coordinates corresponding to the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 in the drawing image of the object O.

  The marking unit 113 performs marking on the coordinates calculated by the coordinate calculation unit 112 in the drawing image of the object O.

Here, the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 are relative coordinates with respect to the predetermined position when the predetermined position in the space is the origin. It is assumed that the object O is fixed to the fixed support device S so as to have a predetermined posture with respect to the predetermined position. The drawing image of the object O is, for example, three-dimensional graphics or a perspective view of the object O. In the drawing image of the object O, it is assumed that coordinates corresponding to a predetermined position on the space serving as the origin are defined. Based on the coordinates corresponding to a predetermined position in the space serving as the origin and each spatial coordinate, the coordinate calculation unit 112 uses, for example, a predetermined algorithm in the drawing image of the object O corresponding to each spatial coordinate. Each coordinate is calculated. Then, the coordinate calculation unit 112 sends data indicating the calculated coordinates to the marking unit 113.

  Upon receiving the data sent from the coordinate calculation unit 112, the marking unit 113 of the information processing apparatus 110 performs marking on each coordinate in the drawing image of the object O indicated by the data (S103). For example, when there are a plurality of coordinates, the marking unit 113 performs marking so as to draw a line connecting the coordinates. Then, the marking unit 113 sends data indicating the image after marking to the image output unit 114.

  When the image output unit 114 of the information processing apparatus 110 receives the data indicating the image sent from the marking unit 113, the image output unit 114 displays the image, for example, in order to make a human visually recognize the image indicated by the data.

A correction amount for the coordinates is calculated.

  The spatial coordinate correction unit 217 calculates a correction amount for the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 when probing using the coordinate measuring machine 130 is performed after the support means of the movable support device 250 is operated. Correction is performed based on the correction amount calculated by the unit 216.

  When probing using the coordinate measuring machine 130 is performed, the coordinate calculating unit 212 calculates coordinates corresponding to the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 in the drawing image of the object O. For example, the coordinate calculation unit 212 calculates coordinates corresponding to the spatial coordinates after correction by the spatial coordinate correction unit 217.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the operation flow of the information processing apparatus 210. In the description of this operation flow, the processing when the support means of the movable support device 250 is moved during the inspection of the object O will be described in detail. In the description of the operation flow, both FIGS. 1 to 5 are referred to. Of the processes of the information processing apparatus 110 and the information processing apparatus 210, processes of the same name given the same reference numerals show similar operations.

Probing to enclose the range. At this time, for example, when the damaged part of the object O is in a position where it is difficult to mark, the inspector can set the damaged part of the object O in a position where it can be easily marked. The support means is moved.

  When the support means of the movable support device 250 operates in this way, the movable amount detection means of the movable support device 250 detects the movable amount of the support means. Then, the movable support device 250 transmits data indicating the movable amount detected by the movable amount detector to the information processing device 210.

  When receiving the data transmitted from the movable support device 250 (S205), the movable amount data receiving unit 215 of the information processing device 210 transmits the data to the correction amount calculating unit 216.

  When the correction amount calculation unit 216 of the information processing device 210 receives the data sent from the movable amount data reception unit 215, the correction to the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 based on the movable amount indicated by the data. The amount is calculated (S206). For example, when the support means moves linearly, the correction amount calculation unit 216 uses the difference between the spatial coordinates after movement from the spatial coordinates before movement of the support means as the correction amount for the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130. . Further, for example, when the support unit is rotationally movable, the correction amount calculation unit 216 uses the spatial coordinates of the rotation axis of the support unit as a reference, and the amount of movement when moved in the circumferential direction by the rotation angle of the support unit, A correction amount for the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 is used. Then, the correction amount calculation unit 216 sends data indicating the calculated correction amount to the spatial coordinate correction unit 217.

  In this way, when the inspector performs probing after the support means of the movable support device 250 is operated, as described in the first embodiment, the coordinate measuring machine 130 has the stylus tip during probing.

When the spatial coordinate correction unit 217 receives the data sent from the spatial coordinate data reception unit 111, the spatial coordinate correction unit 217 corrects each spatial coordinate indicated by the data based on the information on the correction amount held (S207). . Then, the spatial coordinate correction unit 217 sends data indicating each spatial coordinate after correction to the coordinate calculation unit 212.

  When the coordinate calculation unit 212 of the information processing apparatus 110 receives the data sent from the spatial coordinate correction unit 217, as described in the first embodiment, the target corresponding to each spatial coordinate indicated by the data Each coordinate in the image of the drawing of the object O is calculated (S202). Then, the coordinate calculation unit 112 sends data indicating the calculated coordinates to the marking unit 113.

  When the marking unit 113 of the information processing apparatus 110 receives the data sent from the coordinate calculation unit 112, each coordinate in the drawing image of the object O indicated by the data is explained as described in the first embodiment. Marking is performed on (S103). Then, the marking unit 113 sends data indicating the image after marking to the image output unit 114.

  When the image output unit 114 of the information processing apparatus 110 receives the data indicating the image sent from the marking unit 113, the image output unit 114 displays the image, for example, in order to make a human visually recognize the image indicated by the data. The data for output is output to an output device such as a display (S104).

  In this manner, an image in which a line corresponding to a locus probed so as to surround the damaged portion of the object O is drawn on the drawing of the object O is output to the display.

  As described above, the marking work support system 200 includes the movable support device 250 including the movable support means for supporting the object O and the movable amount detection means for detecting the movable amount of the support means. In addition. Then, the information processing device 210 determines the space determined by the coordinate measuring machine based on the movable amount detected by the movable amount detecting unit of the movable support device 250 when the support unit of the movable support device 250 operates. A correction amount for the coordinates is calculated. Then, the information processing apparatus 210 calculates the spatial coordinates determined by the coordinate measuring machine 130 when probing using the coordinate measuring machine 130 is performed after the support means of the movable support device 250 is operated. Correction is performed based on the correction amount. Then, the information processing apparatus 210 calculates coordinates corresponding to the corrected spatial coordinates.

In this way, the surface of the object O is marked as if it was marked with a pen of a color determined according to the damage state by the marking means of the coordinate measuring machine 330.

  When probing is performed in this way, the coordinate measuring machine 330 generates data indicating continuous spatial coordinates on the line through which the stylus tip has passed during probing and the color of the marking means selected at that time.

  Upon receiving the image data A sent from the image data receiving unit 420, the marking omission detection unit 421 of the information processing apparatus 410 compares the image data with the image data B stored in the image data storage unit 419. Then, the marking leakage to the object O is detected (S410). In this process, it is assumed that the pre-alignment process has already been performed. Then, when the marking leakage detection unit 421 detects a portion marked in the image data B and not marked in the image data A, the marking leakage detection unit 421 sends data indicating the detection result to the detection result output unit 422.

  When the detection result output unit 422 of the information processing apparatus 410 receives the data sent from the marking omission detection unit 421, for example, the detection result is displayed in order to make the detection result indicated by the data visually recognized by humans. Data to be displayed is output to an output device such as a display.
