ここで、3次元CADデータ31は、部品の形状情報及び位置情報を有する3次元情報の一例であり、移動体を構成する部品のうち、ワイヤーハーネスを除いた部品の形状情報及び位置情報をコンピュータで読み込み可能にデータ化したものをいう。「移動体」は、本実施の形態では鉄道車両であるが、自動車、バス等の陸上車両や航空機等の他の移動体でもよい。また、「部品」には、鉄道車両の外装、フレーム、台車、車輪、座席等の構造体や、制御盤、空調機器、照明器具等の電気機器等が含まれる。「ワイヤーハーネス」とは、複数の電線を束にし、各電線の両端部にプリント基板や機器に接続するためのコネクタ又は端子を有するものをいう。ハーネス情報32は、ワイヤーハーネスを構成する電線の型式、直径、接続先、コネクタの型式等を含む。なお、電線の型式は、電線の種類の一例である。   Here, the three-dimensional CAD data 31 is an example of three-dimensional information having part shape information and position information. Among the parts constituting the moving body, the shape information and position information of the parts excluding the wire harness are stored in the computer. This is data that can be read by.

決定手段22は、表示部5の画面に表示された立体画像の間の空間にワイヤーハーネスの立体画像を配線してワイヤーハーネスを構成する電線のルートを決定し、それをルート情報35として記憶部3に記憶する。なお、ワイヤーハーネスのルートを決定する際のワイヤーハーネスの立体画像として、電線の中心軸を表す中心線を用いてもよい。   The determination means 22 determines the route of the wire constituting the wire harness by wiring the three-dimensional image of the wire harness in the space between the three-dimensional images displayed on the screen of the display unit 5, and stores it as route information 35. 3 is stored. In addition, you may use the centerline showing the center axis | shaft of an electric wire as a three-dimensional image of the wire harness at the time of determining the route | root of a wire harness.

電線選択手段23は、決定手段22によりワイヤーハーネスのルートが決定すると、電線ライブラリ34を参照して、イニシャルコスト及びランニングコストに基づくトータルのコスト(以下、「ライフサイクルコスト」という。)に応じて電線の候補を選択する。例えば、イニシャルコストが高くともライフサイクルコストが抑えられる電線を選択する。   When the route of the wire harness is determined by the determining unit 22, the electric wire selecting unit 23 refers to the electric wire library 34 according to the total cost based on the initial cost and the running cost (hereinafter referred to as “life cycle cost”).

図2(a)及び(b)は、電線の構成の一例を示す概略斜視図である。図2(a)に示す電線7aは、撚り線による複数の導体70a、絶縁性の被覆層71a及び外層72aを有する。電線を構成する複数の導体70aの断面の総面積を導体サイズSaとする。   2A and 2B are schematic perspective views illustrating an example of the configuration of the electric wire.

When the total area of the cross sections of the plurality of conductors 70b constituting the electric wire is the conductor size Sb, Sb> Sa.

(実施の形態の動作)
次に、本実施の形態の動作の一例を説明する。
(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, an example of the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

(1)3次元CADデータの受付
受付手段20は、例えば入力部4のディスクドライブから、車両を構成する部品のうち、ワイヤーハーネスを除いた部品の3次元CADデータ31、ハーネス情報32及び部品情報33を受け付けし、3次元CADデータ31、ハーネス情報32及び部品情報33を記憶部3に記憶する。なお、ハーネス情報32は、未確定の要素を含むものであってもよい。
(1) Acceptance of 3D CAD data The accepting means 20 is, for example, 3D CAD data 31, harness information 32, and part information of a part excluding a wire harness among parts constituting a vehicle from a disk drive of the input unit 4. 33 is received, and the three-dimensional CAD data 31, the harness information 32, and the component information 33 are stored in the storage unit 3. The harness information 32 may include undetermined elements.

(2)ワイヤーハーネスのルートの決定
表示手段21は、3次元CADデータに基づいて、ワイヤーハーネスを除いた部品の立体画像を表示部5の画面に表示する。
(2) Determination of the route of the wire harness The display unit 21 displays a three-dimensional image of the part excluding the wire harness on the screen of the display unit 5 based on the three-dimensional CAD data.

図4は、表示部5の画面に表示された車両立体画像の一例を示す斜視図である。車両立体画像100には、車両の外装111、内部フレーム112、台車113、車輪114、座席115等の構造体や、制御盤121、空調機器122、照明器具123等の電気機器等の各立体画像が含まれる。   FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a vehicle stereoscopic image displayed on the screen of the display unit 5. The vehicle three-dimensional image 100 includes three-dimensional images of structures such as a vehicle exterior 111, an internal frame 112, a carriage 113, wheels 114, and a seat 115, and electrical devices such as a control panel 121, an air conditioner 122, and a lighting fixture 123. Is included.

決定手段22は、表示部5の画面に表示された立体画像の間の空間にワイヤーハーネスの立体画像を配線してワイヤーハーネスのルートを決定する。具体的には、決定手段22は、入力部4のマウス等の操作に基づいて、ワイヤーハーネスを構成する電線の複数の経由点の3次元座標を確定してルートを決定する。決定手段22は、ワイヤーハーネスごとに電線の経由点の3次元座標をルート情報35として記憶部3に記憶する。   The determination means 22 determines the route of the wire harness by wiring the stereoscopic image of the wire harness in the space between the stereoscopic images displayed on the screen of the display unit 5. Specifically, the determination means 22 determines the route by determining the three-dimensional coordinates of a plurality of via points of the electric wires constituting the wire harness based on the operation of the mouse or the like of the input unit 4. The determination unit 22 stores the three-dimensional coordinates of the via points of the electric wires as route information 35 in the storage unit 3 for each wire harness.

(3)電線の選択
次に、電線選択手段23は、決定手段22によりワイヤーハーネスのルートが決定すると、記憶部3に記憶されたハーネス情報32及び電線ライブラリ34を参照してルートに使用可能な電線の候補を選択する。例えば、ハーネス情報32に記載された接続先の情報から必要な許容電流や電圧降下等の安全上の規定を満たす範囲内で電線ライブラリ34の電線から電線の候補を選択する。また、ルートが予め定めた程度以上の屈曲、捻回等を含む場合は屈曲、捻回等に耐えうる電線の候補を電線ライブラリ34から選択する。
(3) Selection of electric wire Next, when the route of the wire harness is determined by the determining unit 22, the wire selecting unit 23 can be used for the route with reference to the harness information 32 and the electric wire library 34 stored in the storage unit 3. Select wire candidates. For example, wire candidates are selected from the wires in the wire library 34 within a range satisfying safety regulations such as necessary allowable current and voltage drop from the information on the connection destination described in the harness information 32. If the route includes bending, twisting, or the like exceeding a predetermined level, a wire candidate that can withstand bending, twisting, etc. is selected from the wire library 34.

次に、電線選択手段23は、選択した電線の候補を用いた場合のイニシャルコスト及びランニングコストを算出する。まず、イニシャルコストは、電線ライブラリ34の電線それぞれの価格と、ルートの長さとを乗じることで求まる。   Next, the electric wire selection means 23 calculates an initial cost and a running cost when the selected electric wire candidate is used. First, the initial cost is obtained by multiplying the price of each wire in the wire library 34 and the length of the route.

また、ランニングコストは、電線の通電ロスと使用期間とを乗じることで求まる。通電ロスは電線の材質、ルートの長さ及び導体サイズから算出される。なお、電線を使用した場合に、使用期間に排出されるCO排出量をランニングコストに加算してもよい。また、電線の選択は車両の重量にも影響するため、電線の重量増に伴うエネルギー消費をランニングコストに加算してもよい。 In addition, the running cost is obtained by multiplying the power loss of the electric wire and the period of use. The energization loss is calculated from the material of the wire, the length of the route, and the conductor size. Incidentally, when using the electric wire, the CO 2 emissions emitted into use period may be added to the running cost. Moreover, since the selection of the electric wire also affects the weight of the vehicle, the energy consumption accompanying the increase in the weight of the electric wire may be added to the running cost.

以上のように求めたイニシャルコスト及びランニングコストと、電線の導体サイズとは以下の図5に示すような関係を有する。   The initial cost and running cost obtained as described above and the conductor size of the electric wire have a relationship as shown in FIG. 5 below.

図5は、電線の導体サイズとコストとの関係を示すグラフ図である。電線の導体サイズが増加すると、図中に示す点A、A、A、Aのようにイニシャルコストが増加する。また、電線の導体サイズが増加すると、図中に示す点B、B、B、Bのようにランニングコストが減少する。イニシャルコスト及びランニングコストの両者を考慮したトータルのコストがライフサイクルコストであり、図中に示す点C、C、C、Cのように振る舞い、図5の例では点Cにおいてコストが最小となる。 FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the conductor size of the electric wire and the cost. When the conductor size of the electric wire increases, the initial cost increases like points A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , and A 4 shown in the figure. Further, when the conductor size of the electric wire increases, the running cost decreases like points B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , and B 4 shown in the figure. An initial cost and cost life cycle costs of total considering both running costs, behaves like a C 1, C 2, C 3 , C 4 points shown in the figure, at the point C 2 in the example of FIG. 5 Cost is minimized.

従って、電線選択手段23は、点Cに対応する導体サイズが14mmの電線の候補を使用する電線に決定する。この選択動作はワイヤーハーネスのすべての電線について行われる。なお、電線選択手段23は、入力部4のマウス等の操作に基づいて、複数の電線の候補から実際に使用される電線を決定するようにしてもよい。電線選択手段23は、決定された電線の情報をハーネス情報32として記憶部3に記憶する。 Accordingly, the wire selection means 23, conductor size corresponding to the point C 2 is determined to the wire to use the 14mm of wire candidate. This selection operation is performed for all the wires of the wire harness. The electric wire selection means 23 may determine the electric wire that is actually used from a plurality of electric wire candidates based on the operation of the mouse or the like of the input unit 4. The electric wire selection unit 23 stores the determined electric wire information as harness information 32 in the storage unit 3.

(4)ハーネスボード図の作成
変換手段24は、記憶部3に記憶されているハーネス情報32及びルート情報に基づいて、決定手段22によってルートが決定されたワイヤーハーネスを、布線指示線として2次元状に展開したハーネスボード図36に変換し、そのハーネスボード図36を記憶部3に記憶する。
(4) Creation of harness board diagram The converting means 24 uses the wire harness whose route is determined by the determining means 22 based on the harness information 32 and route information stored in the storage unit 3 as a wiring instruction line. The harness board is converted into a three-dimensional harness board figure 36 and the harness board figure 36 is stored in the storage unit 3.

図6は、ハーネスボード図36の一例を示す図である。ハーネスボード図36には、ワイヤーハーネスを構成する電線の布線位置を実際の寸法で直線化した布線指示線36aと、使用される電線の情報36bとが示されている。   FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the harness board FIG. Harness board FIG. 36 shows a wiring instruction line 36a obtained by linearizing the wiring positions of the electric wires constituting the wire harness with actual dimensions, and information 36b of the electric wires used.

制御部2は、入力部4のキーボード等の操作に基づいて、記憶部3に記憶されているハーネスボード図36を通信部6を介してプリンタにより用紙に印刷する。印刷されたハーネスボード図36は、木製のハーネスボードに貼り付けられ、ワイヤーハーネスの製作に供される。   Based on the operation of the keyboard or the like of the input unit 4, the control unit 2 prints the harness board diagram 36 stored in the storage unit 3 on a sheet by the printer via the communication unit 6. The printed harness board FIG. 36 is affixed to a wooden harness board and used for manufacturing a wire harness.

(実施の形態の作用、効果)
本実施の形態によれば、以下の作用、効果を奏する。
(a)ワイヤーハーネスのルートと部品の環境情報及び配置とに基づいて、ワイヤーハーネスに用いることのできる電線の候補を選択し、これらの電線の候補のライフサイクルコストを算出して、コストが最小となる電線の候補を使用する電線として決定するため、コストを考慮したワイヤーハーネスの設計の工程が簡略化される。
従来は許容電流や電圧降下等の安全上の規定を満たす範囲内で、ハーネスの重量及びイニシャルコストを抑えるために導体サイズが最小の電線(図5の点A)を選択していたため、イニシャルコスト及びランニングコストを考慮したライフサイクルコストは図5の点Cのコストとなり、最小とはなっていなかった。
(b)新型車両のように現物が存在しない場合でも、実際の電線が手元にない場合でも、画面上でワイヤーハーネスの配線シミュレーションを行えるので、ワイヤーハーネスの設計が可能になる。
(c)自動車と比べて鉄道車両は、多くが床下配線のため、実車合わせによる加工作業が多いが、本実施の形態によれば、実車合わせによる加工作業を少なくすることができ、ワイヤーハーネスの設計が極めて容易になる。
(Operation and effect of the embodiment)
According to the present embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.
(A) Based on the route of the wire harness and the environmental information and arrangement of the parts, the candidate of the electric wire that can be used for the wire harness is selected, the life cycle cost of these electric wire candidates is calculated, and the cost is minimized. Therefore, the wire harness design process considering the cost is simplified.
In the past, the wire with the smallest conductor size (point A 1 in FIG. 5) was selected in order to reduce the weight and initial cost of the harness within a range that satisfies safety regulations such as allowable current and voltage drop. The life cycle cost in consideration of the cost and the running cost is the cost at the point C 1 in FIG. 5 and is not the minimum.
(B) Even when the actual product does not exist as in the new model vehicle, even when the actual electric wire is not at hand, the wiring simulation of the wire harness can be performed on the screen, so that the wire harness can be designed.
(C) Compared to automobiles, many railcars have underfloor wiring, so there are many processing operations by actual vehicle alignment, but according to this embodiment, processing operations by actual vehicle alignment can be reduced, Design becomes extremely easy.
