Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an entire system for automatically creating a component information list and a system for automatically creating a component order list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The computer 10 is for automatically creating a parts information list. The computer 10 is operated by the operation terminal 12 and selects a parts drawing file from the CAD drawing data file 14 as will be described later in detail. Create a parts information list, create a database 16, and
It is printed out as a component information list 18 as needed.

The computer 20 is for automatically creating a parts order list. The computer 20 is operated by the operation terminal 22 to search the parts information list database 16 and extract necessary information, and To create a parts order list, and print out the parts order list 24 as necessary.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing a procedure for automatically creating a parts information list, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure for automatically creating a parts order list.

In step 100 of FIG. 2, a group of component drawings for which a component information list is to be created is designated from the operation terminal 12. For example, a device symbol (a sign corresponding to a predetermined device) that is entered together with the figure number and is also included in the component drawing file name that specifies the component drawing file.
When "XX" is specified, from among many drawing files,
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, a part drawing file including “XX” in the drawing number (XX3001 in FIG. 5, XX3 in FIG. 6)
002) is selected. When a part drawing group exists for a plurality of different machines, the target machine name (AB
By specifying (CD), selection is made for each machine.

However, if it is determined in step 110 that the specified drawing group does not exist, the flow advances to step 120 to display an error indicating that the specified drawing file does not exist, and request re-input. , Step 10
Return to 0.

In the next step 130, the part information (machine name, equipment symbol, equipment name, drawing number, name, model, manufacturer, etc.) necessary for each part drawing file selected based on the designation
It is checked whether the quantity (the total number, etc.) of the parts that need to be purchased in order to manufacture the device is correctly entered.
As a result, if there is any deficiency, proceed to step 140,
A defect point report and a defect point correction request are issued, and the process is terminated.

In the next step 150, access is made to all the selected drawings, and it is determined whether or not a check for defects has been performed. If all of the drawings have not been checked for defects, the process proceeds to step 150. Return to 130 and continue checking.

When the check has been completed for all the drawings, necessary component information is extracted from each drawing in step 160 of FIG.

For example, FIG. 5 shows an example of a manufactured part. The manufactured part name is a bracket, and an air cylinder and a motor are shown in the figure as an example of a purchased part which is purchased from outside to be mounted on the bracket and used as it is. This is entered in the purchase item column indicated by the symbol a. Here, since information such as creation date (drawing creation date), weight, scale, etc. is unnecessary, it is not extracted as component information for creating a component information list.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an additional part to be used by processing a part purchased from the outside. In the upper right part of the figure, a model and a manufacturer name are entered in an additional part column indicated by a symbol b. This part (shaft) will be additionally processed after purchase.

From such a drawing, component information such as a machine name, a device symbol, a device name, a drawing number, a name, a model, a maker, and a total number necessary for preparing a component information list is extracted.

At step 170, it is determined whether or not access for extracting component information has been performed for all the selected drawings. As a result, if the extraction of the component information has not been completed for all the drawings, the process returns to step 160.

When the extraction of the component information has been completed for all the drawings, in the next step 180, a component information list file is created with the extracted component information as a list. When creating a parts information list, an order number and a distinguishing symbol are automatically described in addition to the parts information extracted from the parts drawing file. The distinguishing symbol "1" indicates that it is a manufactured part manufactured from a member, and the distinguishing symbol "2" indicates that it is a purchased part. 9000 for purchase
The figure number of the series is adopted. At this time, if necessary, it can be output as a data file of a format that can be directly input to the system as shown in FIG. 7, for example, and can be output in the same manner as that conventionally used as shown in FIG. It can also be output as a parts information list and printed out.

Thereafter, in step 190, the component information list is stored as the database 16. By making the parts information list into a database, it is possible to easily search and query the parts information.

Next, the procedure for automatically creating a parts order list will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step 200 of FIG. 4, the computer 20 reads the part information list file from the database 16, and in the next step 210, determines whether the part is a manufactured part, an additional part, or a purchased part. to decide.

As a result, in the case of a manufactured part, step 2
In step 20, the data of the manufactured part is registered. In the case of the additional part, the data of the additional part is registered in step 230. In the case of the purchased part, the data of the purchased part is registered in step 240.

In step 250, it is determined whether or not all parts have been registered. If all parts have not been registered, the process returns to step 210, and the above processing is repeated.
When registration of all parts is completed, a part order list is created in the next step 260.

This order list is created in a format specified by the operation terminal 22, for example, for each ordering company or for each manufactured part / purchased item. FIG. 8 shows an example of a parts order list for each ordering company. In this way, the part order list 24 is output as appropriate.

After the parts order list is created, parts are ordered based on the list.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since each component information is registered in the database, it can be easily searched / inquired, a component order list can be automatically created, and a list of previously handled components can be obtained. Price comparison and the like can be easily performed.
