Description

Library support system of machine part through internet}

The present invention relates to a system for providing a three-dimensional parts information library through the Internet, and more particularly, by providing a library for three-dimensional parts through the Internet, a user can easily and quickly complete the production of an industrial machine or parts. It is about a system that supports it.

It is the basic data to lead the development of science and technology, and the design drawing work is to take it one step further. Existing design drawing work has decreased work efficiency due to the two-dimensional design drawing work using the two-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) program with low manpower or application ability with the chimney industry, but with the development of computer technology, three-dimensional CAD program With the development of the technology, it is possible to design the product shape in three dimensions so that the user can see and check the shape of the problem part, and everyone can understand the design easily. Therefore, all future design work will be generalized in three dimensions. The three-dimensional CAD program bundles parts into parts to form an overall drawing, and is utilized in various forms. However, the 3D CAD program does not have a parts library properly for each part, so the parts library is directly shaped and used as needed. However, as described above, the library for each part of the part can maximize the productivity and efficiency of the design work. Once the shaping work is performed, it can be used repeatedly.

In addition, the parts library in the 3D CAD allows users to call commonly used parts by user input method or automatic modeling method by program, and then call them when necessary during assembly work. Libraries in two-dimensional CAD have been used by simply inserting the shape of an object into a drawing by using lines and modifying and changing the lines. However, in three-dimensional CAD, a single model can be used in an assembly environment. Used to assemble. The part model can be given unique information about the part, and can utilize the information to build a PDM (Product Data Management). Thus, the three-dimensional CAD library work can be viewed as displaying unique parts in the warehouse and can be called and used by the necessary workers at any time. The conventional three-dimensional library has a problem in that a model is repeatedly generated every time an assembly operation is performed by a shape program like a two-dimensional CAD library and does not have unique information.

In addition, since it is made for individual users, it is installed and used on each personal computer, so it occupies an excessive amount of storage space of the computer, and in the case of a company, it is duplicated on each computer. In addition, there is almost no data sharing by designers, and there is a problem that can be duplicated because data is not changed consistently between individual computers.

Designers now establish the concept of the basic design and organize the data for the components required for the design before designing. Then, it is searched whether a 3D CAD library exists for the part, and a design work is started based on the found 3D library. In the above case, if there is no part-specific library, the designer directly creates and uses the part-specific library of the part. Although the work of the above method is generalized, when the library for each part of the component is separately manufactured as necessary according to the designer or the designer's instruction, there is a concern that a delay in design may occur as a separate time is consumed. There is a problem.

As described above, even if the designer owns the part-part library, the material for the part-part or part library is needed. According to the above point, according to the network-based plant engineering professional information providing system (application number: 10-2000-013732) filed in Korea in the form of providing technical data for each part through the Internet, at least constituting plant engineering Each plant engineering company and plant construction by providing online and real-time equipment information, technical data and company information necessary for plant engineering in each of seven areas (mechanical, plumbing, electrical, instrumentation control, civil engineering, construction, chemical engineering) The company's engineers can check technical data, equipment information, and company information necessary for design, equipment, purchasing, and construction work at a glance, and introduce equipment materials to equipment manufacturers or suppliers by publishing their equipment specifications. To be used as a showroom for public relations It will provide about half the plant engineering specialist information systems. However, in the above-described method, it is inconvenient to be provided with the information material for the parts, but not to provide the 3D parts library required for the actual design work. There is a point.

In addition, the electronic catalog and the ordering system for the searched parts are already generalized, but as described above, the designer cannot be provided with the 3D parts library used for the design using the 3D CAD program. There is another problem.

In addition, such an electronic catalog or network-based plant engineering professional information providing system provides designers with indirect data necessary for design, and there is another problem that practical data cannot be provided.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a system for a designer to conveniently provide component information and a three-dimensional component CAD library.

Another goal is to provide a system that does not require designers to build their own 3D parts libraries.

In addition, it is another object to provide a system that can directly obtain information on the parts to order the parts associated with the production.

First, the client 100 will be described. The client 100 generally refers to a system in which the client 100 decorates, receives inputs, or handles detailed information or data and processing results provided from a server. A computer that requests documents and information from the user side, that is, a computer receiving information. Therefore, a personal computer connected to a server is generally called a 'client'. The client 100 generally refers to a system in which the client 100 decorates, receives inputs, or handles detailed information or data and processing results provided from a server. A computer that requests documents and information from the user side, that is, a computer receiving information. Therefore, a personal computer connected to a server is generally called a 'client'. The client 100 refers to a terminal connected to the Internet of a user who wants to receive information about a designer or a part or a 3D parts library. In addition, by using the client 100, the user performs a work required for design or accesses the central server 200 to be described later, and searches for a 3D parts library required by the user to provide necessary information. Will receive. In addition, when the user design among the client 100, a three-dimensional CAD program such as Solid Works and Solid Edge is generally used.

Next, the central server 200 will be described. In general, a server is a large server and at the same time has the same information or data, often referred to as a 'server system'. Therefore, this server system and method mainly serves to transmit data and information. That is, a computer that provides data when a document and information is requested from another computer. For example, WWW clients and servers can send and receive Hypermedia documents using the Hyper Text Transmission Protocol (HTTP). This is called an 'HTTP server' or 'central server'. It may also be referred to as an information department store where a variety of information required by a user is provided. In addition, the central server 200 receives a connection request from the client 100 and permits access, and serves to provide information about a 3D parts library and parts. In addition, the central server 200 has three-dimensional component library information directly in a state where the user of the client 100 is connected to the central server 200, and the Solid Works or Solid Edge and It can also be configured with functions designed in the same 3D CAD program. Configuring the client 100 to draw a picture on the central server 200 may be operated in the form of, for example, an application service provider (ASP). In addition, the above ASP is a general technique for professionals who implement a program currently running on the Internet, so detailed description thereof will be omitted. As described above, the central server 200 provides the 3D component library to the client 100 so that the user of the client 100 can design using a computer in an offline state.

In addition, the central server 200 provides the information on the three-dimensional components at the request of the client 100, the information is provided in a catalog form. The catalog is provided to the member at the request of the member with reference to the parts information database 400 which will be described later by the catalog providing module 210.

Next, the member database 300 will be described. The member database 300 is the member database 300 is the first connection from the client 100 to the central server 200, after the client 100 to the member registration to the central server 200. You will be asked. Accordingly, the central server 200 transmits a membership registration form to the client 100. Accordingly, the user of the client 100 enters the personal information of the user, the member registration form in which the personal information is input is transmitted to the central server 200, the member in the central server 200 It is configured to be stored in the database 300 or may be stored in other servers connected to the central server 200. In addition, the member database 300 is a member ID, password, name, address, telephone number, such as personal information required in the general Internet homepage, and in the case of a component supplier that can provide the component offline detailed information about the company It will be registered in the member database (300).

Next, the parts information database 400 will be described. The parts information database 400 includes information on parts that can be provided by a parts supplier registered in the member database 300, a path of a 3D CAD library file for the parts, a path to catalog information about the parts, Information on the current state of the parts, specification information of the parts, stock quantity of the parts, and the like is stored. In addition, the parts information database 400 may be configured as one database file. It can also be stored in a number of database files, such as cardalag information and parts specification information. In addition, the parts information database 400 is connected to the central server 200 of the user of the client 100, the corresponding information is provided to the client 100 through the central server 200 in accordance with a search condition, The contents of the parts retroactively such as the stock status of the parts in the parts information database 400 are configured to update in real time the information on the parts provided by the suppliers registered in the member database 300.

Next, the library providing module 500 will be described. The library providing module 500 searches for the parts information database 400 by a user of the client 100 registered in the member database 300, and when the 3D parts library desired by the user exists, Upon request, it will provide parts library information created in 3D CAD for the retrieved parts. In addition, the library providing module 500 is generally transmitted in Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), but since the library file itself is large, the library providing module 500 uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to the client 100 user as needed. It is configured to provide. In general, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) uses port 21 of the client 100, and HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) uses port 80. In addition, since the transmission of the file to the port number corresponds to a basic technology for a programmer for network transmission, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the information providing module 600 will be described. The information providing module 600 searches the parts information database 400 of the user of the client 100 like the library providing module 500, and, upon request of the user, the parts to the client 100 side. It provides technical data, catalogs, quotations, and order forms. In addition, the information providing module 600 transmits the form including the path that can be transmitted to the central server 200 in the case of the form to be sent back to the central server 200, such as the order.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a system for providing a 3D parts information library through the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 2 is a flowchart of a system for providing a 3D parts information library through the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a user connects to the Internet using the client 100 (S100). Then, the user accesses the website provided by the central server 200 (S110). According to the connection request of the client 100 as described above, the central server 200 requests the input of the user ID and password of the client 100 (S120). Accordingly, when the user of the client 100 subscribes to the central server 200 as a member (S121), the user of the client 100 inputs a conventional ID and password (S130) to the central server 200. Is connected to (S140) is provided with information about the auction from the central server 200 (S150). And, if not registered as a member to the central server (200) (S122) the central server 200 is to send a member registration form to the client 100 with the consent of the client 100 user ( In step S160, the user of the client 100 is input according to the registration form (S170). Then, after the input is completed, the member registration form created by the central server 200 is transmitted again (S180), and the contents described in the transmitted member registration form are stored in the member database 300 (S190). Accordingly, the user of the client 100 enters the ID and password into the central server 200 (S130) and connects to the central server 200 (S140), and the 3D CAD from the central server 200. Information about the part library and the part information is provided (S150).

The user who is registered as a member of the central server 200 is connected to the central server 200 by using the client 100 (S200), and the search is to input contents to be searched according to the needs of the user. In step S210, the parts information database 400 stored in the central server 200 is searched according to the input contents in step S220. In addition, the searched result is transmitted to the client 100 (S230) to allow the user to confirm (S240). Accordingly, after the user's confirmation process, the user selects a specific part with respect to the searched result (S240), and according to the user's selection, the central server 200 selects the parts information database 400. The content stored in the search is performed (S250), and the search result is transmitted to the client 100 (S260). The user searches for the transmitted result, and accordingly, the user selects one of the 3D CAD parts library or the part information among the searched results (S270). In addition, according to the selection, the central server 200 transmits the contents stored in the parts information database 400 for the specific one to the client 100 (S280) and displays them (S290).

When the user confirms the result displayed on the screen, and the user confirms that the data is required, according to the user's request (S300), the central server 200 transmits using HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) or FTP. The file is transferred using the (File Transfer Protocol) (S310). The transmitted 3D component library is stored in a storage device in the client 100 (S320), and a 3D CAD program in the client 100 is executed (S330) to use the 3D component library (S330). S340). Therefore, the user can use the library provided through the central server 200. When the user needs the technical document, the user requests the central server 200 for the technical document (S350), and transmits the technical document according to the request to the client 100 (S360). . With reference to the transmitted document, the user makes a reference to the design (S370), and downloads an order form in order to order a part for producing it (S380), creates an order form (S390), and the central server 200 Is processed according to the order (S400).

As described above, according to the system for providing a 3D parts information library through the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention, a designer can be provided with parts information as needed while being provided with a 3D parts CAD library. There is this.

In addition, there is another advantage that the designer does not need to create a three-dimensional parts library required for the design work.

In addition, there is another advantage that can be provided with information on the parts, and can be provided directly.
