Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an equipment number management device for managing the usage status of equipment numbers in a design system for equipment design.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a system configuration shown in FIG. 5 as an example of a design system for designing equipment such as electric power, gas, water and sewage equipment. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 is a server, which manages data transfer and management of the entire system. Reference numeral 2 is a database accessed by the server 1, and 3 is a plurality of design terminals connected to the server 1 by lines. The database 2 is composed of a master database 2A and a design database 2B, as shown in FIG.
First, in the master database 2A, basic drawing data consisting of topographic maps and equipment map data, drawing masters such as design drawing data of a place where the facility construction has already been completed, and equipment master data which is attribute data are drawing data. Is registered as. Design drawings designed on the basis of these drawing data are sequentially stored in the design database 2B as design drawing data. This design drawing data is design equipment drawing data and attribute data. Also, design database 2B
The process management data 2d is also stored in. After the design work for one day is completed, the contents of the design database 2B are transferred to the master database 2A, and the contents of the master database 2A are updated to the contents of the design database 2B. The attribute information is, for example, information for storing equipment symbols arranged on the design drawing in association with numbers, and each symbol is stored in the database 2 in association with a number.

Next, the operation will be described. When designing new equipment or removing equipment, first start the server 1, and at the time of initial design, as shown in FIG. 7, master database 2A
The drawing data is transferred to the terminal 3 and the drawing based on the drawing data is displayed on the terminal screen 50, or the drawing data of the design database 2B is transferred and displayed (restarting the drawing). Then, the newly created symbol is associated with a number, and the design drawing is stored in the database 2B. In addition, the number associated with the removed symbol is released. As described above, the number management ledger is used as a recording sheet for recording whether a number is associated with a symbol or released. The above-mentioned ledger has a symbol correspondence number, for example, “000”.
A plurality of "1" to "XXXXX" are written, and information is written next to each number. That is, when the number is already associated with the symbol and stored in the database 2, the information such as "secured" or "existing" is added to the number as "unusable" information, and the other numbers are stored. Is attached with the information "empty (or blank)" as the "usable" information.

Therefore, for example, when a facility is newly installed on a design drawing under design using an editor or the like by using a symbol already stored in the database 2 as design drawing data or a symbol on a terminal screen, Looks at the ledger to find a usable number, that is, a "vacant" number, selects any number from the "vacant" numbers and associates it with the newly installed equipment symbol, and then uses this new symbol as a design drawing. The data is stored in the database 2B, and "Secured" is added to the corresponding number on the ledger. After that, when the actual facility construction is completed, "Secured" is corrected to "existing". Further, when the equipment is removed, the number associated with the removed equipment symbol is released. Therefore, the information of the released number is changed from "existing" to "empty" on the ledger.

[0005]

However, in the number management using the number management ledger as described above, the number information on the ledger must be corrected one by one after the actual construction is completed. However, there was a problem that it caused a situation in which a number that could be used cannot be used.

[0006] Further, if the information of "securing" is forgotten to be added to the number associated with the symbol in the new equipment design, the information of the number remains "available" on the ledger. However, there is a problem that a plurality of designers may use the same number in duplicate.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a number management device capable of preventing the above-mentioned situation.

[0008]

An equipment number management device according to claim 1 of the present invention stores design drawing data relating to equipment design of electric power, gas, water and sewage, and process management data 2a of actual equipment construction. The database 2, the transfer means (server 11), the plurality of design terminals 3, and the number prepared for symbol correspondence indicating the equipment are “unusable” if the symbol is already associated with the symbol. If the number is not associated with the number, information indicating “usable” is attached to the number, and the number usage reference means (number reference file 12 is referred to when associating the number with the newly installed symbol at the time of new equipment design). ) And the actual work completion data from the process management data 2a, and based on the design drawing data stored in the database at the time of completion of the work The number associated with the symbol newly created by design is labeled "existing" as "unusable" information, and the number associated with the symbol removed by design is labeled "usable". like,
It is provided with a first management means (equipment number management software 11A) for changing the information of the reference means number.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at the time of newly designing the equipment, after the number to be associated with the newly installed symbol is selected by referring to the reference means, it is started based on the first specific command, "Not available" for the number selected above
Second, the information of the reference means is changed so that the information of
Management means (equipment number management software 11A).

The apparatus according to claim 3 is activated at the time of newly designing the equipment on the basis of the second specific command, searches the contents of the reference means, and determines the number to which "usable" information is attached. A third symbol for searching and associating the newly found symbol with this searched “usable” number and changing the information of the above-mentioned reference means so as to attach the “unusable” information as the information of the number associated with the symbol Equipped with management means.

[0011]

The first management means changes the information of the reference means number according to the contents of the design drawing data at the time of actual construction completion.

The second management means attaches "unusable" information to the information of the above number of the reference means with respect to the number selected by the designer at the time of design to be associated with the symbol.

The third management means searches the contents of the reference means, associates the number "usable" with the newly established symbol on the design drawing, and the information of the number of the reference means "unusable". The information of is attached.

【Example】

Example 1. (Corresponding to Claims 1 and 2) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall image of a design system applied to the present invention. The same or corresponding parts as those in the conventional example of FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 is a server that functions as an equipment number management device of the present invention. Reference numeral 12 is a number reference file as a number usage status reference means. The server 11 performs data transfer management and overall system management as in the conventional case, and the equipment number management software 1 that constitutes first management means and second management means.
It has 1A. The content of the file 12 is, for example, the content shown in 12A of FIG. That is, the contents of the conventional number management ledger are converted into a file in the recording means so that the server 11 can access the file. Therefore, the number already associated with the symbol is provided with the information "existing" as the "unusable" information (information assigned to the numbers 0010 to 0030 of the content 12A), and corresponds to the symbol. Information that is "free" is attached to the numbers that are not attached as information that is "available" (numbers 0040 to 0 of the content 12A).
The information is attached up to 060 and is blank in the drawing. ).

Next, the operation will be described. First, the function of the software 11A as the second management means will be described. In the new facility design, for example, it is assumed that a symbol already stored in the database 2 as design drawing data or a symbol on the terminal screen is used and a symbol is newly installed on the design drawing being designed using an editor or the like. In this case, the designer sends a file content read command to the server 11, which causes the server 11 to display the content of the file 12 on the terminal screen. The designer searches the contents of the file 12 for an "empty" number, and selects a number to be associated with the newly created symbol from the "empty" numbers. Then, for example, if the number “0040” is selected and the first specific command is sent to the software 11A in order to secure this number, the software 11A first reads the file contents 1 in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the reserve record 31 with the number “0040” is added. After the reserve record 31 is added, if another designer refers to the file contents on the terminal screen, the reserve record 3 is already assigned to the number “0040”.
1 is provided and is "unavailable" called "reserve"
Since this information is attached, other designers will not use this number “0040”. Next, the designer tells the software 11A that the new symbol and number "00
40 ”(by operating the keyboard, etc.), the software 11A displays the file contents 12 of FIG.
Like C, reserve record 31 and new record 32
Then, the information “unusable” of “newly installed” is attached, and the newly installed symbol 52 is associated with the number “0040”, and the newly installed symbol 52 is stored in the design database 2B.

Further, when canceling the newly established symbol, the software 11A receives the record cancel command and follows the reverse order to the above, and the newly established record 32
Is replaced with the reserve record 31, and then the reserve record 31 is deleted. As a result, the number “0
"040" is an "idle" number.

It should be noted that the reason why the reserved and new records are provided as described above is that the addition / deletion of records is easier in software programming and faster in processing than directly adding information to numbers. This is because. However, software that directly adds information to a number without providing a record may be used.

Next, the function of the software 11A as the first managing means will be described with reference to FIGS. In the equipment design, it is assumed that the equipment symbol 101 is newly installed as shown on the design drawing 60 in FIG. 3 and the equipment symbol 100 which has already been installed is removed. As a result, the design drawing data stored in the design database 2B has the contents of the design drawing 61. When designing the design drawing 60, the content 12D of the file 12 is the equipment symbol 100.
The information of the number that was associated with is "existing", and when trying to associate with the symbol to be newly established,
The numbers “101” and “10” are set by the function of the second management means.
Two numbers "2" are "designing" (information "unusable")
Has been secured as. The number information of the contents 12D of this file is changed to the contents 12E of the file when the actual construction is completed by the function of the second management means of the software 11A.

More specifically, the design database 2
Process management data 2d is also stored in B, and information on the completion of construction is obtained from this data 2d, and at the time of this completion, the design drawing data (design in FIG. 3) stored in the design database 2B. 61), the number information of the file 12 is changed in accordance with the drawing data. This is the function of the first managing means of the software 11A.

That is, the file 11A is, for example, 1 per day.
It includes a program for comparing the completion date data of the process control data 2d of the design database 2B with the date data of the server 11. If the date data of the server> the completion date data, the data is saved in the design database 2B. The contents of the file 12 are changed based on the drawing data. Referring to FIG. 3, the symbol 1 as the data on the design drawing 61
Since 01 is newly established, the information of the number "101" of the file is "existing". Also, the symbol 100 does not already exist as shown in 100d, so the file "1"
The information of the number "00" is "empty (blank)". In addition, a number that is reserved but not used, that is, a number that is not associated with a symbol on the design drawing 61 is “10.
The information of “2” is set to “empty (blank)”.

An image of the function of the first management means of the software 11A is shown in FIG. That is, when the construction is completed, the drawing data is fetched from the design database 2B into the server 11, and thereby the software 11A changes the contents of the file 12 to the contents 12E of FIG. 3 based on the contents of the drawing data. Further, the drawing data is transferred to the master database 2A and the contents of the master database 2A are updated. The drawing data is already in the master database 2A.
11A, the software 11A changes the information in the file 12 based on the content of the drawing data of the master base 2A.

Therefore, with the software 11A of the first embodiment described above, it is less likely that a plurality of designers will duplicately use the same number at the time of designing. This is because instead of writing "Secure" etc. in the ledger as in the past, you will forget the operation of "Secure" because you will "Secure" the number with the keyboard operation of the terminal. This is because the number is much smaller than the method of writing on plain paper. Further, the designer does not need to change the contents of the file according to the drawing data after the actual construction is completed, and the contents of the file are automatically changed according to the drawing data after the construction is completed. As a result, the situation where the number that should have been used cannot be used is eliminated.

Example 2. (Corresponding to claim 3) The equipment number management software having the function of the third managing means is replaced by the server 1 instead of the function of the second managing means of the first embodiment.
You may prepare for 1. At the time of designing, the third management means is started based on the second specific command, first searches the contents of the file 12 to find an "empty" number, and then designs an "empty" number. It is provided with a function of associating with a newly-established symbol on the diagram and of adding "unusable" information to the information of the "free" number on the file. Further, in this case, the third managing means has a function of associating a young number with a symbol when there are a plurality of "vacant" numbers. According to the software of this embodiment, as compared with the software 11A of the first embodiment, it is not necessary for the designer to search for an "empty" number, and further, the process of associating a number with a newly installed symbol is not required. However, conversely, the software 11 of the first embodiment
In A, the designer can choose any number he wants to use,
With the software of the second embodiment, the designer cannot select a desired number to use. Therefore, the software should be selected according to the designer's preference.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the function of each management means is realized by software, but it may be realized by hardware.

[0025]

According to the invention of claim 1, the first management means for obtaining the work completion data and changing the information of the reference means number in accordance with the design drawing data at the time of the actual completion of the work. Since it is provided, the designer does not have to revise the contents of the reference means one after another after the completion of the actual construction, and an equipment number management device can be obtained that can avoid the situation that the number that should be used originally cannot be used.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, regarding the number selected by the designer at the time of design to be associated with the symbol, the first
Since the second management means that starts with the specific command of No. 2 and adds the information of "unusable" to the information of the above number of the reference means is provided, a plurality of designers use the same number redundantly. Such a situation can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the contents of the reference means are searched by starting with a specific second command, and the number of "usable" is associated with the newly established symbol on the design drawing, and Since the third management means for adding the information "unusable" to the information on the above number on the reference means is provided, the designer does not need to search for the "free" number at the time of designing, and the newly installed symbol There is no need to associate the numbers with.
