Therefore, in the design support system for electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, it is possible to determine the degree to which information linked to box data provided in the database satisfies input specification information.

The database also includes storage specification information, which is information regarding electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, and box data, which is data linked to information regarding the configuration of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes that can be specified by the storage specification information. , a calculation means capable of calculating a comparison value indicating the degree to which the information linked to the box data satisfies the input specification information, and an output capable of outputting the comparison value of the calculated box data.

It is preferable that the method for selecting a box for storing electrical and electronic equipment includes the step of outputting the highest box data.

In addition, in the embodiment, a design support system for electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes for the purpose of power distribution such as distribution boards, switchboards, control boards, and high-voltage power receiving equipment will be mainly explained, but of course it is also applicable to servers, communication devices, The design support system may be a design support system for a system rack equipped with a computing device, etc., or a work box equipped with communication devices, lighting equipment, a desk, a chair, etc. for a person to work inside.

The electrical/electronic equipment storage box includes a housing and electrical/electronic equipment housed in the housing. Note that electrical and electronic equipment may be of any type, including breakers, switches, terminal blocks, time switches, lightning arresters, outlets, transformers, relays, communication devices, measuring devices, control devices, sensor devices, air conditioning devices, etc. is cited as a typical example, but it may also be electrical or electronic-related equipment, or a circuit made up of electronic equipment such as an emergency circuit or an automatic flashing circuit.

The electrical/electronic equipment storage box design support system of the embodiment includes at least storage specification information that is specification information regarding the electrical/electronic equipment storage box in a database, and box data regarding the electrical/electronic equipment storage box specified by the storage specification information. It is equipped with By comparing the input specification information, which is specification information regarding electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes input by the user of the design support system, with the storage specification information, the match rate of the box data with the input specification information is calculated as a "comparison value". The system is configured to calculate and select the most suitable electric/electronic equipment storage box based on the matching rate.

Details of the specification information will be described below, but the difference between input specification information and storage specification information will be explained here. The input specification information is specification information input by the user when selecting an electrical/electronic equipment storage box using the design support system of the present invention. On the other hand, the stored specification information is specification information that is provided in the database when the database is constructed or updated, and is specification information that can be compared with the input specification information. In the embodiment, a management number is assigned so as to be associated with specific storage specification information and box data, and the information is stored in the database (see FIGS. 1 and 2). In addition, if the design support system is equipped with a function that allows selection of box data that is not stored in the database, the input specification information entered when using the design support system and the selected box data can be stored in the database. It may also be possible to make new preparations for the future. By providing input specification information, which is specification information not previously provided in the database, in the database, the input specification information becomes stored specification information.

By the way, the "specification information" in the present invention is information regarding the specifications for specifying the electric/electronic equipment storage box or the electric/electronic equipment, and can be grouped according to the following items, for example.

For example, the specification information regarding electrical and electronic equipment to be stored in the electrical and electronic equipment storage box may include the following items.

"Items related to types of electrical and electronic equipment (including data on the performance of each electrical and electronic equipment)"
For example, types of electrical and electronic equipment include collective type breakers, earth leakage breakers, circuit breakers, plug-in breakers, terminal blocks, relays, ammeters, wattmeters, communication equipment, time switches, SPDs, control circuits, etc. . Note that performance includes electrical performance such as rated current and rated breaking capacity, and physical performance such as strength.

"Items related to the arrangement and position of electrical and electronic equipment within the housing"
For example, the location of the main breaker (such as above or below the chassis), the position of the branch breaker relative to the main breaker (such as below or beside the main breaker), and the arrangement of branch breakers (breakers in a row or multiple rows). etc.) as the arrangement and position of electrical and electronic equipment within the housing. Note that when a plurality of electrical and electronic devices are housed inside a casing, the arrangement and position of the devices greatly influences the size and shape of the casing.

"Items related to the role of electrical and electronic equipment within the housing"
For example, "When two collective breakers are input, one is used as the main breaker, and the other is connected to the secondary side of the main breaker and used for secondary feeding." When two breakers are input, both are used as main breakers to form two systems within the housing. Note that when a plurality of electrical and electronic devices are housed within a housing, the roles of these devices have a large influence on the size and shape of the housing.

Of course, the specification information regarding the electrical/electronic equipment to be stored in the electrical/electronic equipment storage box may be other items, such as "items regarding the number of electrical/electronic equipment".

Examples of items of specification information regarding electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes include those described below.

"Items related to the casing of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes (including parts that are not stored in the door or casing)"
For example, the size of the case (W x H x D), the material of the case (iron, stainless steel, resin, etc.), the color of the case, the processing on the case (holes for attaching devices that are not housed in the case) (e.g., welding processing, etc.), space set up inside the housing to separately store parts other than electrical and electronic equipment, door size, door material, door color, number of doors (one door, two doors, etc.) ), data regarding the opening direction of the door (opening to the right, opening to the left, etc.), the type, number, arrangement, and position of components that are not housed in the housing. Components that are not stored in the casing include hinges for rotating the door, locking devices for locking the door (handle, etc.), heat countermeasure equipment attached to the casing (fans, louvers, etc.), and , a wiring member, a water drainage member, a packing attached for waterproofing, a mounting member for attaching a casing to a wall, a roof member for outdoor installation, and the like.

"Items related to performance and types of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes"
For example, the performance of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes includes waterproof performance, earthquake resistance, heat resistance, and the like. Further, examples of the types of electric/electronic equipment storage boxes include electric light/power mixed distribution boards, heat-resistant distribution boards, temporary outlet distribution boards, and the like.

"Items related to the installation of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes"
Among the installation methods for electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, items related to the installation method include, for example, freestanding installation using a base, installation on a wall or support, and installation embedded in a wall. Furthermore, items related to the installation location and installation environment include indoor installation, outdoor installation, installation in salt-damaged areas, installation in areas with heavy snowfall, installation in high altitude places, etc.

Examples of the specification information items regarding wiring in the electric/electronic equipment storage box include those described below.

"Items related to input and output lines to the chassis"
For example, an upper incoming line, an upper outgoing line (a line entering from the upper surface of the casing and an outgoing line to the upper surface), a lower incoming line and a lower outgoing line (a line entering from the lower surface of the casing and an outgoing line from the lower surface), etc. can be mentioned. Of course, the wires may enter or exit from the side or rear side of the housing.

"Items related to wiring between electrical and electronic devices"
Examples include wiring between electrical and electronic devices using electric wires, wiring between electrical and electronic devices using copper bars, and the like.

"Items related to wiring space required for wiring"
For example, a wiring space larger than the standard wiring space may be set.

Examples of specification information items related to the transportation of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes include those listed below.

"Items related to packaging methods" and "Items related to transportation methods" Examples include transportation using trucks, transportation using railways, and transportation using ships.

In addition, the classification of "Items related to the price of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes" such as the price when purchasing electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, and the delivery period from confirmation of purchase to delivery of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, etc. Also provide examples of the classification of "Items related to the delivery date of electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes" and the classification of "Items related to customers" such as the customer's name, company name, address, and other information necessary to identify the customer. Can be done.

Note that each item of the specification information may be independent or may be related to each other. For example, when comparing the input specification information in which ``with packing'' is input as ``item related to casing'' and the storage specification information ``with waterproof performance'' in ``item related to performance,'' each item is considered to be independent. If the items are related, it will be determined that they do not match, but if the items are treated as related, it may be determined that they match.

The items of specification information that the user can input using the input means can be any type, but it is preferable that the items of specification information that the user can input using the input means include items related to the electrical and electronic equipment stored in the electrical and electronic equipment storage box, and at least one of items related to the electrical and electronic equipment storage box, items related to wiring, items related to transportation, items related to price, items related to delivery date, and items related to the customer.

By the way, the user can input specification information using the input means. Of course, this input means includes means commonly used for inputting information into a personal computer, smartphone, etc. (input using a keyboard or mouse, input by moving a finger or the like on a display, etc.). Alternatively, a document containing specification information may be captured by optical character recognition. Alternatively, the input may be performed by detecting audio or by detecting the line of sight. Further, the specification information may be input using a product name number assigned to various types of information.

By the way, the database of the embodiment includes at least storage specification information that is specification information regarding electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes, and box data regarding electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes that can be specified by the storage specification information. The data included in this database is assigned a management number to at least data that is a combination of storage specification information and box data (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

In the embodiment, the storage specification information is organized by item. Specifically, the following can be exemplified. "Items related to the housing": Size 500 x 600 x 120, "Items related to electrical and electronic equipment": Main breaker (60A) x 1, branch breaker (20A) x 14, "Items related to wiring": Upper incoming wire, upper outgoing wire , "Items related to customers": 〇〇〇 Co., Ltd., etc.

The management numbers may be assigned in the order in which they are stored in the database, or a related management number may be assigned to data that includes specific storage specification information or data that includes specific box data.

For example, in the storage specification information, one-digit management is performed for data that includes one main breaker with a rated current of 60A and eight branch breakers with a rated current of 20A as an item related to the type of electrical and electronic equipment. It may be determined that a number (0001 to 0005) is assigned. Further, for example, a related management number may be assigned to data including AAA10-20 as box data. Of course, the management number is not limited to a four-digit number, and may include alphabetical characters, symbols, etc. as necessary.

If the data stored in the database can be managed using management numbers, it becomes easier to manage various data, and the matching rate can be calculated efficiently.

In addition to storage specification information and box data, there is also drawing data regarding the casing and drawings of the electrical and electronic equipment that make up the electrical and electronic equipment storage box, parts drawing data regarding the types and numbers of the casing and electrical and electronic equipment, and data on the casing and electrical/electronic equipment. Data necessary for design work, manufacturing work, and sales work after selecting an electrical/electronic equipment storage box, such as price data regarding the price of electrical/electronic equipment, may also be managed using management numbers.

By the way, in order to calculate a comparison value indicating the degree to which the information linked to the box data satisfies the input specification information based on the input specification information and storage specification information, input by the input means is necessary. An example of this method is to compare the input specification information stored in the database with the storage specification information stored in the database, and calculate the degree of agreement between the input specification information and the box data assigned the same management number as the storage specification information.

Further, when calculating the degree of matching, the calculating means may be one that calculates by increasing or decreasing a value when the input specification information and the storage specification information match or do not match. For example, if there are four pieces of input specification information, and one of them matches the storage specification information, the predetermined amount (25%) set for the one matching piece of information is increased, and the number of matches is increased. It may be configured such that the calculation means can calculate that the degree is 25%. In addition, by reducing the predetermined amount (25%) set for the three pieces of information that do not match from 100% (100% - (25% x 3)), the degree of matching can be calculated as 25% by the calculation means. It may be configured as follows.

All specification information does not need to be treated in the same way. A priority may be set for the specification information, and the amount to be added or subtracted may be different depending on the priority. For example, if there are four pieces of input specification information, one of which is set as priority: high, two as priority: medium, and one as priority: low, priority: high is set to 35. %, 25% for medium priority, and 15% for low priority. Of course, each numerical value may be set arbitrarily.

More specifically, for example, one specification information is input for each of "Items related to electrical and electronic equipment," "Items related to layout/position," "Items related to customers," and "Items related to transportation." In the case where there are four types of specification information, the input specification information for "Items related to electrical and electronic equipment" and "Items related to placement/position" has a medium priority, and the input specification information for "Items related to customers" has a high priority. Assume that the input specification information for "items related to transportation" is set to priority: low. At this time, if only the input specification information of the item related to the customer matches, the degree of match is 35%, and if the input specification information of the item related to electrical and electronic equipment and the item related to the customer match, the degree of match is 35%. It becomes 60%.

As can be understood from these examples, item sufficiency values are defined for multiple specification information items, and the calculation means is capable of comparing the specification information of the item input by the user with the storage specification information provided in the database. When it is determined that they match or do not match, the item sufficiency value is increased or decreased from the initial value and calculated to derive a comparison value, depending on the priority set for the item of specification information. It is preferable that the item sufficiency values are different.

In addition, some or all of this system may be artificially modified, such as the specification information used when calculating the degree of matching, determining whether or not input specification information and storage specification information match, and setting the priority of specification information. It may also be executed using intelligence.

For example, when comparing all the input specification information and the corresponding storage specification information, the degree of coincidence may be calculated using artificial intelligence. Further, the matching rate may be calculated by comparing a part of the input specification information that is determined by the artificial intelligence and the corresponding stored specification information.

In addition, it may be possible to determine that the input specification information and the corresponding storage specification information "match" only when they completely match, but the extent of the match may also be determined by artificial intelligence when there is a partial match. It may be configured so that it can be calculated. For example, among the items related to electrical and electronic equipment, even if the input specification information regarding the type of electrical and electronic equipment matches, but the input specification information regarding the number of electrical and electronic equipment does not match, the degree of matching will be reduced by the amount of matching. It may be configured to change.

Furthermore, the configuration may be such that the setting of priority to specification information is executed by artificial intelligence. As can be understood from these examples, by executing part or all of this system using artificial intelligence, it is possible to more flexibly judge the degree of agreement between input specification information and storage specification information. becomes possible.

The result calculated by the calculation means is outputted using the output means. Note that output using output means includes means commonly used when outputting via a computer, smartphone, etc. (output on a display, output on paper using a printing machine, etc.) as well as input means. Of course. The output may be audio.

What is output by the output means is related to at least the result of the degree of coincidence between the box data and the box data calculated by the calculation means. It may be possible to output the degree of match of all box data, but it may also output the box data with the maximum degree of match and its degree of match, or it may output the degree of match of multiple boxes in descending order of the degree of match. It is preferable that the data and the degree of agreement thereof be outputted.

If an output means capable of outputting box data or drawing information representing the contents of box data is provided, and the output means is configured to be capable of outputting box data of which linked information among a plurality of box data satisfies input specification information to the highest degree, or drawing information representing the contents of box data of which linked information among a plurality of box data satisfies input specification information to the highest degree, the user can compare the box data and know which is the most desirable box data.

Further, the output means is provided with an output means capable of outputting a plurality of pieces of box data or drawing information representing the contents of the box data, and the output means is configured to determine the extent to which the linked information among the plurality of box data satisfies the input specification information. It is possible to output box data in descending order of box data, or a drawing that shows the contents of box data in descending order of the extent to which the linked information satisfies the input specification information among multiple box data. If the configuration is such that information can be output, the user can know a plurality of box data that are close to the user's wishes.

At this time, the product name number assigned to each electrical/electronic equipment storage box may be output as the box data, or a box image showing an overview of the electrical/electronic equipment storage box may be output. good.

When outputting a box image, it is preferable that the box image is a scaled view of the actual electrical and electronic equipment storage box, and the electrical and electronic equipment to be stored in the case is arranged at the selected position. It is preferable that the output is output as a diagram representing the current state. Note that the configuration may also be such that the price, transportation cost, delivery date, etc. of the housing and the electrical/electronic equipment constituting the electrical/electronic equipment storage box can be output.

Here, explanation will be given using a specific example. It is assumed that management numbers 0001 to 0005 are assigned to data including items related to electrical and electronic equipment: main breaker (60A) x 1, branch breaker (20A) x 8 as stored specification information in the database.

Management number 0001 is managed in such a way that it can be specified that the main breaker is arranged at the top, the branch breakers are arranged at the bottom, and the branch breakers are arranged in two rows as items related to arrangement and position. In addition, as an item regarding the installation location, it is managed so that it can be specified that it is installed indoors. In addition, items related to wiring are managed so that it can be specified that the line enters from above and the line exits from above. Additionally, AAA6-08 is provided as box data.

On the other hand, the input specification information inputted by the input means is "Items related to electrical and electronic equipment": Main breaker (60A) x 1, Branch breakers (20A) x 8, "Items related to arrangement/position": Main breaker is above, branch breakers are below, branch breakers are arranged in two rows, "Items related to installation location": indoor installation, "Items related to wiring": wires enter from above, wires exit from above.

In the embodiment, the degree of agreement between the box data to which each management number is assigned and the input specification information is calculated and outputted by the output means together with the image (see FIG. 3). At this time, it is preferable to arrange them in descending order of matching rate. Note that the calculation may be started by issuing a calculation start instruction such as clicking a calculation start button after inputting all the input specification information, and the result may be output.

On the other hand, the calculation may be executed every time the input specification information is input, and the result may be output. For example, if "main breaker (60A) x 1, branch breaker (20A) x 8" is entered in "items related to electrical and electronic equipment" as input specification information, each The degree of agreement of the box data was calculated to be 100% (see Figure 4).

Next, when "Main breaker is above and branch breaker is below" is entered in "Items related to placement/position", the degree of match for box data assigned management numbers 0001, 0003, and 0004 is 100. %, and the box data assigned management numbers 0002 and 0005 were calculated to have a degree of coincidence of 50% (see FIG. 5).

Furthermore, if "Branch breakers are arranged in two rows" is entered in "Items related to placement/position", the box data assigned management numbers 0001 and 0003 will have a 100% match, and management numbers 0002 and 0004 will be assigned. It was calculated that the degree of coincidence of the box data assigned with the management number 0005 was calculated to be 67%, and the degree of coincidence of the box data assigned the management number 0005 was calculated to be 33% (see FIG. 6).

This may be repeated until the input specification information is completed.

Note that multiple input specifications can be entered for one item, such as items related to electrical and electronic equipment (main breaker (60A) x 1, branch breaker (20A) x 8) and wiring items (input line from above, outgoing line from above). When information is input, calculate whether all the input specification information matches (for example, if the storage specification information is main breaker (60A) x 1 and branch breaker (20A) x 6, check whether or not they match) It is also possible to calculate whether or not each input specification information matches (for example, if the storage specification information is main breaker (60A) x 1, branch In the case of breaker (20A)×6, it may be determined that the former match and the latter do not match, and the match rate may be calculated as 50%.

Further, it is assumed that the database is provided with data including "〇〇〇 Co., Ltd." as "customer information" as storage specification information (see FIG. 7). Further, it is assumed that there is data assigned management numbers 0101 to 0103 as information regarding the customer.

Management number 0101 specifies that the main breaker (150A) x 1 and branch breaker (20A) x 16 are specified as "items related to electrical and electronic equipment," and the bottom space is 30 mm as "items related to the housing." Assume that it is possible to specify that the line enters from the top and that the line goes out from the top as the "item related to wiring," and that AAA15-16-SP3 is provided as the box data. Regarding 0102 and 0103, it is possible to specify information as shown in FIG. 7, but the explanation thereof will be omitted.

It may be possible to understand the relationship between multiple pieces of storage specification information from a large amount of data (management number, storage specification information, box data, etc.) provided in the database. In other words, since a plurality of management numbers including one storage specification information and another storage specification information are stored, it may be possible to understand that both specification information tend to be highly related. For example, from management numbers 0101 to 0103, "〇〇〇 Co., Ltd." in "items related to customers" and "bottom space" in "items related to casing" are specification information included in multiple management numbers. , it can be seen that there is a tendency for there to be a high degree of relevance. In such a situation, management numbers 0301 to 0303 are assigned to data that includes "main breaker (100A) x 1, branch breaker (20A) x 16" in "items related to electrical and electronic equipment" as stored specification information in the database. Assume that it is managed by

Management number 0301 specifies that the size is 500 x 700 x 120 as an "item related to the casing", and that it is X million yen (in this case, X < Y) as an "item related to the price". can be specified, as "items related to wiring" it can be specified that the wire enters from the top and the line is out from the top, and as "item related to customer" △△△ Co., Ltd. can be specified, and as box data, AAA10- 16 (see FIG. 8). Regarding 0302 and 0303, it is possible to specify information as shown in FIG. 8, but the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In contrast, the input specification information inputted by the input means includes items related to electrical and electronic equipment: main breaker (100A) x 1, branch breakers (20A) x 16, items related to the casing: low height, and Assume that there is a 30 mm lower space, price-related items: cheap, wiring-related items: wires enter from above, wires exit from below, and customer-related items: 〇〇〇 Co., Ltd. (see Figure 9). As can be understood from this example, inputs for each item are not limited to concrete inputs (such as the height of the housing being 1000 mm), but also abstract inputs (such as the lowest height of the housing). or low-priced products).

In the example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, 4 out of 6 items match for 0301 to 0303, so the degree of match for 0301 to 0303 is approximately 67%. On the other hand, if it is determined that the customer-related item: 〇〇〇 Co., Ltd. and the casing-related item: 30 mm lower space are highly related, please enter the management number 0302 (see Figure 8) that includes them. It is also possible to preferentially arrange and output them (see FIG. 9).

In the example shown in FIG. 9, management numbers 0301 to 0303 are calculated to have the same matching rate, and management number 0301 is output preferentially. By increasing the value of degree, output may be given priority. Specifically, the degree of coincidence is set to 67% for management numbers 0301 and 0303, but the degree of coincidence may be set to 80% for management number 0302, for example.

Another example of identifying the relationship between a plurality of pieces of storage specification information from a large amount of data (management number, storage specification information, box data, etc.) provided in a database will be explained.

It is assumed that management numbers 1001 to 1005 are assigned to data including AAA20-28 related data as box data and managed in the database. As for the management number 1001, it can be specified that the size is 500 x 1100 x 160 as an "item related to the housing", and that the branch breakers are arranged in two rows as an "item related to arrangement/position", AAA20-28 is provided as box data, and data of 50 times is provided as the number of past selections. Regarding 1002 to 1005, it is possible to specify information as shown in FIG. 10, but the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this example, the number of times the box data has been selected using this system is counted. It may be determined that there is a tendency for a plurality of pieces of storage specification information included in the management number of the box data selected many times to be highly related. Alternatively, combinations of storage specification information that tend to be highly relevant may be grasped, and special measures may be taken depending on the presence or absence of input specification information that corresponds to storage specification information that tends to be highly relevant. For example, if the degree of matching of box data that includes specification information that tends to be highly relevant is the same as the degree of matching of box data that does not include specification information that tends to be highly relevant, only the former may be output or The former may be output preferentially.

If one of the specification information that tends to be highly relevant is input but the other is not, the output means may output a message that the other is not input. For example, if "item related to customer": 〇〇〇 Co., Ltd. and "item related to casing": lower space are highly related, the item related to customer: 〇〇〇 Co., Ltd. is input as input specification information. ), but if the item related to the casing: bottom space is not input, it may be configured to notify that the item related to the casing: bottom space is missing.

The relationship between items of specification information may be set by a person, or may be determined by artificial intelligence. In other words, artificial intelligence may determine that a combination of predetermined items is highly relevant based on the storage specification information stored in the database, and may execute special measures.

Although the present invention has been described above using the embodiments as examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified in various ways. The degree of matching does not need to be expressed numerically; it is also possible to output text such as "highly recommended," "recommended," "most likely candidate," "promising candidate," or a diagram that conveys the intent. .
