Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a device for creating information necessary for creating an assembly drawing of a control panel.

[Conventional technology]

In order to create an assembly drawing for a control panel, the specifications of each appliance to be installed are first investigated using catalogs and other materials, and the shapes, sizes, etc. of the appliances are recognized. Next, the original drawings for the assembly drawings are created by selecting similar original drawings from a collection of standard original drawings and making partial modifications as necessary. On the original assembly drawings created in this way, we added the watzpen drawings (so called because the watzpens are pasted onto the basic drawings) of the equipment, which are standardly prepared separately from the data of the survey results. I make preparations for creating assembly drawings by making selections and drawing the missing parts.

On the other hand, there are tens of thousands of instruments commonly used in control panels, etc., and among them, we will investigate and draw the instruments (approximately 100) used in a certain control panel.
Both require specialized training and a lot of work time. Furthermore, since the essence of the work is transcription or conversion into drawings, mistakes are likely to occur, which is an obstacle to improving work quality and work efficiency.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the applicant carried out the following tasks at the design preparation stage: () Investigation of the shape, size, etc. of the mounting equipment () Selection and partial correction of the original assembly drawing () Patent Application No. 139,170/1982 proposes a device that can automate the preparation (selection, creation) and make it visible to the designer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

On the other hand, control panels and switchboards are generally made to order, but the basic parts are always fixed, and they are standardized with variable parts to accommodate the special specifications of the customer. In other words, instead of designing from scratch each time we receive an order, we design a product for a specific order by changing (deletion, addition, etc.) a part of a similar product, which is called editorial design.

Since the above-mentioned equipment is designed from scratch each time an order is received, it is insufficient for improving design efficiency and stabilizing quality when designing a model that is becoming increasingly standardized.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to solve these conventional problems and provide an editing design method that only requires additional design for parts with different specifications from similar products.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, in place of the "control panel information input file" in the device of Japanese Patent Application No. 139170/1985, which was proposed earlier by the applicant,
It includes a "similar board information input file," a "similar assembly drawing file," a "graphic input interface," and a "similar assembly drawing file."

[Effect]

This makes it possible to call up similar products from these files and perform additional design only on parts with different specifications.

"Description of Output Processing Unit" FIG. 2 shows an example in which the data of the output information file is outputted by the drawing output device 120 in the original assembly drawing of the control panel. Since the drawing output device is constructed using a well-known technology that has already been established, the procedure for the data processing unit that creates the output information file will be explained here.

From the control panel classification code stored in the similar panel information input file 104, similar assembly drawing file 1 is selected.
The corresponding data in 08 is extracted and converted back into geometric figure data and character figure data in a similar assembly figure file through the figure input interface section, and stored as a collection of unit figure data that can be used as an assembly drawing. The data group is extracted and sorted into the following two groups according to predetermined criteria.

(a) A group of data consisting of an appliance number, appliance shape information, and appliance code (hereinafter referred to as the installation appliance data group) (b) A graphic data group other than the above (hereinafter referred to as the control panel parts data group) Next, the installation A method for recognizing a group of instrument data will be explained.

For example, the unit figure data stored in the similar assembly figure figure file 110 regarding the part 200 in FIG. 2 is as follows.

Rectangle: Coordinates (x1, y1), 1/2 horizontal length X1, 1/2 vertical length
Y1, stratification data (AM010) NOTE: Coordinates (x2, y2), character code (A) On the other hand, the instrument number is written in advance in the rectangular or circular area directly or via an arrow. It is defined as In other words, if a NOTE is written in a rectangular or circular area, that NOTE
The character code is the appliance number, the rectangle or circle is the appliance shape information, the attribute data therein is recognized as the appliance code, and these data form a set of fixture data and are given the same set number.

In this example, the NOTE attachment point coordinates (x2, y2)
and rectangular attachment point coordinates (x1, y1) and 1/2 horizontal side length X1
and 1/2 vertical side length Y1, the following equation (1) holds true, so the “rectangle” with the attribute data “AM010” is an appliance outline drawing, and its appliance number is “A”. One thing can be said.

|x1 − x2 | < Delete the fixture number data of the relevant set number and fixture external information data (for example, rectangular data, circle data, etc.) from the unit figure data in the fixture data group that has the data group, and leave the control panel parts data group as is. All remaining data of both groups are recognized as assembly drawing original drawing information, and an identification number 203 is determined according to a predetermined standard. These pieces of information are output to the output information file 112 for each identification number.

Similarly, for the fixture numbers in the fixture information file 105 that were not matched, the graphic data group corresponding to the fixture external figure number is extracted from the fixture external figure file 106, and
1. Determine the instrument outline drawing, the entry position of the instrument attribute data 303, and the identification number 304 according to predetermined criteria. These additional appliance watzpen diagram information is outputted to the output information file 112 for each identification number.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the data of the output information file is outputted by the drawing output device 120 in the form of a drawing of additional equipment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, most of the work for creating assembly drawings can be automated and mechanized, so, for example, a designer can delete parts that are different from similar drawings output by a drawing output device. You can use scissors to cut out the additional equipment drawings on the original assembly drawings that were automatically created using scissors, or edit and design the contents of the output information file using known techniques. Since the assembly drawing can be created by interactive design while viewing the graphic file information on the graphic display section of the graphic processing device, the specialized knowledge and experience that were conventionally required are no longer required. Therefore, even an unskilled designer can easily design the control panel equipment layout. In particular, only the parts with different specifications from similar drawings need to be additionally designed, which improves quality by eliminating design defects due to transcription or conversion errors, and stabilizes design quality as the basic parts are always fixed. There are great benefits in terms of optimization and labor savings in design work.
