JP6316344B2 - Hole drilling position designation system for cabinet - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a drilling position designation system for cabinets for storing electronic and electrical equipment such as switchboards and control boards.

  A large number of manufacturers' standard products are set for electronic / electrical equipment storage cabinets according to their use, structure, size, and the like. Therefore, recently, a system has been developed in which a customer and an input worker can access a manufacturer's database through a communication line and select and order a cabinet having an optimum specification.

  In addition, the cabinet may require drilling for mounting operation switches, measuring devices, cooling devices, and the like. Since these drilling operations vary depending on the purpose of use on the customer side, the customer side designates which surface of the cabinet requires what drilling.

  In order to eliminate the mistake in specifying the drilling position in this case, the customer specifies the drilling position on the cabinet drawing read from the manufacturer's database, and whether the specified drilling is possible or not A drilling designation system that can be judged on the side has been developed and published as Patent Document 1.

  In the system disclosed in Patent Document 1, a drillable range and a non-drillable range are displayed on the cabinet drawing so that the customer can refer to when specifying a drilling position. However, this system cannot completely prevent the customer from making a specification mistake. Optional parts specified by the customer may be attached to the door surface, side, or back of the cabinet in particular, but it is not always easy for the customer to specify the drilling position while considering the relationship with the mounting position of the optional parts. Instead, it was easy to make mistakes.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a drilling position designation system for a cabinet that can designate a drilling position without error.

The hole drilling position designation system for the cabinet of the present invention made to solve the above problems comprises a server having a cabinet database and a terminal connected to the server via a network,
In the cabinet database, the shape of each surface of a large number of cabinets and a prohibited area where holes cannot be drilled on each surface are registered, and this prohibited area is an absolute prohibited area set on each surface of the cabinet, An independent forbidden area set at the position of the component fixed to each surface of the cabinet, and the terminal includes a target selection means for selecting a cabinet to be drilled from the cabinet database, and a display Means for positioning the hole shape to be processed on either the server or the terminal on the surface of the selected cabinet, and the prohibited area of the cabinet database. Position determining means for determining suitability and displaying the determination result on the display means.

  In addition, as described in claim 2, the cabinet database further registers a component area overlapping with a detachable component, and the position determination unit determines the hole processing position arranged by the position designation unit as the cabinet. It is preferable that the suitability is individually determined in comparison with the prohibited area and the parts area of the database. According to a third aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the position determination means performs an abnormality determination when the drilling position overlaps the prohibited area and performs a warning determination when the hole processing position overlaps the part area.

  According to the drilling position designation system for the cabinet of the present invention, when the cabinet to be drilled is selected from the cabinet database and the hole machining position is designated by the position designation means, the position of the hole shape is determined by the position determination means. Determines the suitability of the drilling position in comparison with the prohibited area of the cabinet database, and displays the determination result on the display means of the terminal. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent a mistake in designation of the hole machining position.

  Further, according to the invention of claim 2 or less, not only the prohibited prohibited area fixed on the cabinet surface, but also the parts area where parts are attached and conventionally cannot be designated for drilling, determine the suitability, The determination result can be displayed on the terminal. In addition, a warning determination is made for the part area, and there is room for enabling the designation of the drilling position by warning that it interferes with an optional part mounted at the drilling position. For this reason, according to this invention, it becomes possible to perform smoothly the designation | designated of the drilling position to a cabinet.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a system according to the present invention. 1 is a server on the cabinet manufacturer side, and 2 is a customer side terminal connected to the server 1 via a network 3. The network 3 is typically an Internet line, but is not limited thereto, and may be a dedicated line between a manufacturer and a customer, for example.

  A cabinet database 4 is stored in the storage device of the server 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the cabinet database 4 is registered with product codes 5, dimensions 6, prices 7, drawing data 8 and the like for each of a number of cabinets that are standard products by the manufacturer. The drawing data 8 is not directly registered in the cabinet database 4, and a separately provided drawing data file can be linked to the cabinet database 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the drawing data 8 includes the shapes of the cabinet door surface, left and right side surfaces, back surface, top surface, and substrate. The terminal 2 is equipped with a target selecting means 14 and a display means 15 for selecting a cabinet to be drilled from the cabinet database 4, and these drawing data 8 can be displayed.

  In the drawing data 8 of the cabinet database 4, a prohibited area 9 in which holes cannot be drilled on each surface is registered together with the shape of each surface of the cabinet. As shown in FIG. 3, the portion of a certain width from the end of each surface is a portion that cannot maintain the strength and sealability as a cabinet if the hole is drilled in that portion. Region 9. This prohibited area 9 may be written in the drawing data 8, and the distance from the end may be calculated by a logic each time.

  Also, a stud bolt or the like is fixed to the door surface or the like. However, even if such a portion is to be drilled, the hole processing laser is not passed due to the thickness, and drilling is impossible. Accordingly, these parts are also absolute prohibited areas 9, but are registered as independent prohibited areas 11 described later. As described above, the cabinet database 4 is registered with the prohibited area 9 and the independent prohibited area 11 in which the holes cannot be drilled on each surface.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a detachable component, that is, a component region 10 overlapping with an optional component is registered in the cabinet database 4. The detachable component is, for example, a drawing case that is attached to the lower part of the back surface of the door surface. Unlike the absolute forbidden area 9 described above, the part area 10 can be drilled. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, an area that affects the use of parts when drilled in that part. In this region, it is highly likely that the option parts need to be removed and moved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, an independent prohibited area 11 is registered in the cabinet database 4 as a special form of the prohibited area. The above-described prohibited area 9 is an area that is set at the end of each surface and the like to prohibit drilling, whereas the independent prohibited area 11 is separated from the prohibited area 9 as shown in FIG. This is an independent forbidden area arranged independently at a position, for example, a position of a part fixed to a cabinet such as a stud bolt by welding or the like. This independent forbidden area 11 is the same as the forbidden area 9 in that it cannot be drilled so as to overlap a part thereof, but the hole processing completely surrounds the independent forbidden area 11 as shown in FIG. In such a case, the region can be subjected to drilling. In this case, since the enclosed internal part falls off, a warning is given by the position determination means 16 described later.

  Hole pattern data 12 is registered in the server 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the manufacturer frequently registers the hole shape frequently used in advance as a pattern. The customer can select a desired hole shape from the hole pattern data 12 and drag it onto the drawing of each surface described above, and perform position designation by the position designation means 13 of the terminal 2. Of course, the size can be changed. The position specifying means 13 can also be provided on the server 1.

  Position determining means 16 is provided on the terminal 2 or the server 1. This position determination means 16 determines the suitability of the drilling position specified by the customer. This determination is made based on the coordinates of the forbidden area 9, the part area 10, the independent forbidden area 11, and the like, and the drilling position. As shown in FIG. 4A, if the hole processing position designated by the customer dragging the hole shape does not interfere with any of these areas, a normal determination is made. However, as shown in FIGS. 4C and 4E, when the hole machining position overlaps the prohibited area 9 or the independent prohibited area 11, the determination is made as impossible. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the drilling position specified by the customer overlaps with the part area 10, or when the independent forbidden area 11 is surrounded as shown in FIG. Recognize the possibility that the optional part in the area cannot be used, and prompt the user to remove the part or change the part mounting position or the hole machining position. When the impossibility determination and the warning determination overlap, the impossibility determination has priority.

  The determination result by the position determination unit 16 is displayed on the display unit 15 of the terminal 2. In the case of normality determination, for example, normal display for displaying the hole machining position in blue is performed. At this time, when the customer performs an operation of determining the hole position, the color of the hole processing position can be reversed to, for example, gray. In addition, in the case of the impossibility determination, an impossibility display is performed in which the designated drilling position is displayed in red. In the case of the warning determination, a warning display is performed in which the option part that caused the warning is displayed in orange, for example, and the drilling position is displayed in blue. The same applies to the case where the hole machining position surrounds the independent prohibited area 11.

  When a plurality of holes are specified on the same processed surface, it is preferable to leave all warning displays on the screen. Moreover, the display method by coloring described above is merely an example, and display by a message or sound is also possible.

FIG. 6 shows an operation flow of the hole drilling position designation system for the cabinet of the present invention configured as described above.
(S 1) The customer accesses the server 1, and selects the cabinet to be drilled from the cabinet database 4 by the target selection means 14.
(S2) The server 1 transmits the product code 5, dimension 6, price 7, drawing data 8 and the like to the terminal 2, and the display means 15 displays them.
(S3) The customer selects a required hole shape from the hole pattern data 12, and drags it on the screen to designate the hole position.
(S4) The position determination means 16 reads the coordinates of the designated drilling position, and compares it with the prohibited area 9, the part area 10, and the independent prohibited area 11 registered in the cabinet database 4, and makes a determination.
(S5) The determination result is displayed on the display means 15 of the terminal.
(S6) If the display is normal, the customer determines the drilling position and designates the next hole position if necessary.
(S7) If the display is not possible, the customer changes and specifies the drilling position.
(S8) In the case of a warning display, the customer confirms that the optional part attached at the drilling position interferes or cannot be used, and determines the drilling position.

  As described above, the hole drilling position designation system for a cabinet according to the present invention has an advantage that a hole drilling position can be designated without error when a customer orders a cabinet from a manufacturer through a communication line.
