Description

The technical solution relates to the field of operation, repair and maintenance of complex technical systems (STS), including weapons and military equipment (IWT), using interactive electronic documentation.

There are well-known Russian and international standards that govern the procedure and rules for the development and use of electronic documentation for products. Examples of such standards are GOST 2.051, GOST 2.052, GOST 2.053, the group of standards GOST R ISO 10303, GOST R 54088. These standards define forms for the unambiguous presentation of machine-oriented data about the product and the exchange of these data during the life cycle of the product. However, these standards (with the exception of GOST R 54088) do not determine the effective technical implementation of electronic documentation for complex technical systems (STS), which would provide interactive information support for the operation and maintenance personnel of the STS during maintenance and repair work on the STS at their locations .

A common drawback of these standards is that the development of interactive electronic repair documentation (IED) based on them is focused on the use of available electronic design and operational documentation and does not provide for the possibility of developing an IED in the absence of electronic design and operational documentation.

Technical solutions are also known for patents RU 2356106 C2, RU 2304855 C2, RU 2316831 C2, RU 63960 U1, RU 2388060 and RU 2271040, which contain certain aspects of the creation and use of electronic documentation, including for the training of operating personnel of technical products for various purposes. However, in these well-known solutions there is no description of interactive electronic repair documentation that could be effectively used to provide information support for the operations and maintenance personnel of the STS during the servicing and repair of the STS and their components at their locations.

The closest solution to be taken as an analogue is the repair control system for the STS (including IWT) using interactive electronic repair documentation (IED) according to patent RU 2492076 C1. Interactive electronic repair documentation for the patent RU 2492076 C1 contains digital video information frames for each component part (MF) of the product being repaired at all levels of decomposition of the product structure, displaying the MF products in combination with the used technological tool and equipment, accompanied by instructions to the operator on performing each technological operation on the corresponding Midrange products in the course of the process being implemented. Before starting work, the IED is placed in the knowledge base of the central computer of the automated control system (ACS) and is subsequently used to provide information support to the actions of repair personnel.

The advantage of this IED is that the digital video information frames for the corresponding midrange of the item being repaired contain an image of this midrange in combination with the technological tool used, as well as instructions to the operator on how to carry out the corresponding technological operation during the manufacturing process of the product repair. This provides information support for the operator’s actions to perform this operation and reduces the requirements for operator qualifications (due to the visibility of using the tool and instructions for performing this operation using the tool displayed in the video information frame).

This IED (analog) is created without the use of electronic design and operational documentation. It is based on frames of video information formed during the video recording of a full-scale STS sample and its midrange.

The disadvantage of managing the repair of the STS using the IED according to the patent analogue is that the sequence of operations (i.e., the sequence of transition from one operation to another operation on a given midrange, as well as the transition to work on other middle frequencies) is not specified and is made on the basis of a priori knowledge of the corresponding operational technology for repairing this product, which requires higher qualification of the operating and repair personnel. As part of the IERD according to the patent - there is no functional relationship between the individual blocks of the IERD, which determine the transition to other technological operations, depending on the result of the current technological operation on this midrange of the STS sample.

In the case of applying the repair control system for the STS using the IED according to the patent analogue for servicing or repairing the STS samples (including armament and military equipment samples) at the places of their deployment to the maintenance or repair personnel to select the appropriate IEDs frames and sequentially perform the necessary technological operations maintenance or repair, it is necessary to have additional a priori knowledge about the options for transitions between operations as part of technological processes Including:

1) monitoring the technical condition of the STS and incoming midrange;

2) maintenance of STS and MF;

3) disassembly of the STS and the midrange;

4) repair of STS and MF;

5) assembly of the midrange and STS as a whole;

6) tuning the midrange and STS as a whole;

7) monitoring the restoration of the performance of the midrange and STS as a whole.

The purpose of the claimed technical solution is to eliminate the disadvantages of the analogue. The technical result from the application of the claimed solution is to increase the efficiency and quality of maintenance work and repair of the STS using IEDD and reduce the requirements for the level of staff knowledge about the product when carrying out work on the technical (service) maintenance and repair of the STS (including military equipment) at their places deployment by incorporating modules of the relevant instructions to the operating or repair personnel on transition to the performance of next operations on a given midrange or other midrange, depending on the type of process being implemented and the results of the previous operation. This increases the productivity and quality of work on the repair and maintenance of STS samples.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the STS repair management system (including IWT) uses the STS interactive electronic repair documentation, presented in the form of a set of electrical information signals containing digital video information frames for each component part (MF) of the product at all levels of decomposition of the product structure showing the midrange of the product in combination with the used technological tool, accompanied by instructions to the operator on how to perform each operation in accordance with stvuyuschey midrange products from the implemented process. The control system is a set of functionally interconnected modules and units in which interactive electronic repair documentation (IED) is maintained to manage the repair of the corresponding midrange product. The structure of the functional relationships between the maintenance blocks of the IEDD sections reflects the corresponding structure of the structural (occurrence) and functional (functional interaction of the midrange) midrange relationships as part of the product - the object of repair.

The structure and composition of the blocks for maintaining the IED sections, as well as the relationship and interaction of the blocks for maintaining the IEDs, designed to provide information support for actions (control actions) of personnel when working on the same mid-range product during various technological operations, are explained in FIG. one.

As it was indicated, the repair management system using the product IED (STS) as a whole and the IEDD sections maintenance blocks for each midrange from the STS are technical objects (devices) that combine computer equipment and a set of electronic digital information (information electrical signals), recorded in the memory of these funds.

The structure of the information contained in the maintenance blocks of the IED sections is explained in the left part of the diagram of FIG. 1 by the example of the IEDD control unit, designed to provide information support for personnel actions when performing technological process 1 of monitoring the technical condition of STS. Each technological process that can be performed on a given midrange product has its own unit for maintaining the IED sections (blocks 1–7 of Fig. 1). The set of blocks for maintaining the IED sections, providing information support (work management) when performing the entire possible set of technological operations on one midrange of the product, forms a set of blocks for maintaining the sections for IRED, shown in FIG. one.

Each IEDD section maintenance unit, which controls the execution of a particular technological process on the corresponding midrange, contains video information modules with which the maintained or repaired midrange is displayed (module 1.1 in Fig. 1) in combination with the instrument image maintenance module used for a particular technological operations (module 1.2 in Fig. 1). These image-holding modules 1.1 and 1.2 are connected with the text instructions module 1.3 and the audio instructions module 1.4, containing instructions to the operator about the procedure for performing this operation, and with module 1.5 for evaluating the result of the operation. The module for evaluating the results of the execution of this operation 1.5 is connected with the module of text 1.6 and audio 1.7 instructions on the direction of the transition to the next operation (to another IED unit) on this midrange or another midrange, depending on the result of this operation. The introduction of modules for evaluating the results of technological assessment 1.5, text modules 1.6 and 1.7 audio instructions for moving to another IEDD maintenance unit, as well as functional links between these modules, as well as these modules with other IRED management units are significant distinguishing features of the claimed technical solution.

In cases when, within the framework of a given technological process (monitoring the technical condition, servicing the product, disassembling the product, repairing the midrange product, assembling the midrange, adjusting the midrange product or monitoring the restoration of operability of the midrange product, respectively), a series of technological operations must be performed sequentially on this midrange, sections IERD for each technological operation are placed as part of autonomous units and all IERD maintaining units in their functional connection in accordance with the sequence of technological process at a given midrange, are part of the corresponding set of blocks for maintaining the IED of this midrange product (see Fig. 1).

To provide effective information support for the actions of operators from the composition of the operational and repair personnel, each unit for maintaining the IED of FIG. 1 is intended to provide the entire set of instructions for performing operations of the corresponding technological process on a given midrange product, as well as providing guidance on the transition to operations of another technological process on the same midrange. For example, when assessing the result of monitoring the technical condition indicating a malfunction of a given midrange, modules 1.6 and 1.7 (see Fig. 1) provide guidance on the transition to the appropriate IED unit for the repair or disassembly of this midrange, etc.

The blocks of IED management, designed to control the execution of the operations of the same technological processes at midrange at different levels, are interconnected by modules of instructions on the transition from one IED block to the other (modules similar to modules 1.6 and 1.7 of Fig. 1) and form the system of blocks of IED management specializations, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Each IEDD reference unit included in the corresponding IEDD management system of FIG. 2, is identified by a process code (for example, 1 ÷ 7, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) and an MF type code that determines the location of a given MF in the hierarchical multi-level structure of the STS.

In FIG. Figure 3 shows the structure of the STS explaining the relationship between the IEDD blocks in the sequence of disassembling a multilevel STS into the MFs of different levels included in it. In this case, “01” denotes the STS sample as a whole, (C1.1-1) ÷ (C1.1-i) ÷ (Cl.l-k) denote the components of the first level of disaggregation of the structure of the STS. Accordingly, (C1.2) are the components of the second level of the STS, (C1.3) are the components of the third level of the STS, etc.

The structure of the IED system for each technological process for a similar STS is shown in FIG. 4. For each technological process for each midrange of the corresponding level of disaggregation, there corresponds an IEDD control unit that interacts with the IEDD units of other technological processes for a given MF (see Fig. 1), as well as with the IERD control units of the components of the higher and lower levels (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). This provides the whole variety of control procedures that are required when carrying out maintenance and repair work on STS samples, including military equipment, at their places of deployment - during normal and emergency situations. The set of blocks for maintaining the IED for each MF, interconnected by modules for indicating mutual transitions (modules 1.6 and 1.7), form a complex of blocks for maintaining the IED for this MF (see Fig. 1).

The complete set of the management system for the repair and maintenance of each type of STS includes a set of blocks for maintaining the IED, interconnected by modules of instructions on mutual transitions. At the same time, the IERD reference blocks of each technological process form the IERD block system of FIG. 2 for the midrange of all levels of the STS structure.

The application of the repair control system for the STS using the IEDD according to the claimed technical solution is as follows.

Before starting work on the inspection, control of the technical condition, maintenance or repair of the STS (including weapons and military equipment) at the places of their deployment, the complex of sections of the IREF of FIG. 2 on the STS as a whole it is stored in the memory of computer equipment (for example, computers), which are transferred directly to the place of repair and maintenance work (RSO) of the corresponding STS sample. Depending on the technical condition of the product being serviced and the task for the performance of work, the operator activates a profile system for maintaining the IED, focused on information support for the implementation of the selected process (for example, monitoring the technical condition). Before starting work, the identification data of the serviced product (type, number) and / or its midrange are set, from which the process should begin (in accordance with a priori information about the health of the product). The operator is contacted by the IEDD control unit in accordance with the selected midrange, from which work begins (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). The corresponding frame of video information (images of the midrange and instrument based on modules 1.1 and 1.2 of Fig. 1) and corresponding instructions to the operator are displayed on the computer screen. The operator visually and with the help of hearing organs perceives the IED instructions (under the control of modules 1.3 and 1.4 of Fig. 1) reproduced by the computer, performs them, evaluates the result of the operation (under the control of module 1.5 of Fig. 1), enters the result data into the computer and receives a prompt under the control of 1.6 and 1.7 IED modules to move to the next operation. If the result is not clearly formulated or suspected of error, modules 1.6 and 1.7 of the IEDD control block give instructions not to move to the next operation, but to re-perform this operation.

The process execution process continues by controlling the transition to other blocks of maintaining the IED sections of a given technological process at a given midrange, to blocks of maintaining sections of an IED of another technological process at a given midrange or to other middle frequencies (depending on the assessment of the results of the corresponding operations at each middle frequency).

Thus, by issuing instructions generated by the modules of the corresponding IEDD blocks, the content and sequence of actions of personnel at each SC of the repaired STS are managed until the service items are fully restored.

At the same time, the operator is not required to have in-depth knowledge of the structure of technological processes. It is enough to have a general idea of the structure, principle of operation and purpose of the product, as well as clearly and in good faith to carry out visual and audio indications formed by the corresponding modules and blocks for maintaining IEDD sections.

The IERD sections used in the claimed repair control system for the STS are formed using standard technological means known from the prior art. For the use of IEDs in the repair of MFs at the site of displacement of STS samples (including IWT samples), it is sufficient to have a laptop computer containing a keyboard, a monitor and having the necessary memory capacity to accommodate the IEDS set. It is also necessary to have a complete set of technological tools to be used when performing the whole range of technological operations provided for in the IED.

The formation of the IED sections is carried out using an automated workstation (Fig. 5) containing a digital video camera or digital camera 10, a microphone 13, and a computer 12. In the process of forming the IED, image modules 1.1 and 1.2 (midrange and instrument) are formed in conjunction with other modules as shown in FIG. 1. For the formation of a complete set of IEDs, a working product sample is required. The structural diagram of the workplace explaining the formation of the IED is shown in FIG. 5. Formation of IED sections using the automated workstation of FIG. 5 is carried out sequentially for each midrange - in the sequence of technological processes of the North Ossetia for each midrange at each structural level of the product (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).

Thus, the claimed technical solution is industrially feasible using standard technical means known from the prior art.

A technical solution (an STS repair management system using an IED) ensures the implementation of the claimed technical result, namely, increasing the efficiency and quality of technical (service) maintenance and repair of complex technical products (including military hardware) while reducing the requirements for operational and / or knowledge repair personnel in the structure and sequence of operations for the performed technological processes. The indicated technical result is ensured by the IEDD sections maintenance units included in the control system with the corresponding modules, as well as the functional links between the IEDs maintenance units for each MF of the item being repaired and between the functional modules included in these units.
