Description

The proposed utility model relates to information technology, in particular, to devices for the automation of technological preparation of production, and is intended to automate the storage and use of technological documentation directly at workplaces with elements of visualization of the sequence of technological operations, including transitions, installations and passages.

The prior art device is a visualization made in the form of a CAD module that creates sketches of technological operations. The operation of this device is compatible with the work of the automation system for design and technological preparation of production (CAD CCI) "Adem CAPP" (http://www.adem.ru). The disadvantage of this visualization device is the ability to pair with only one CAD CCI "Adem CAPP".

The prior art also renders a visualization device made in the form of a CADMECH module for tooling design and development of technological sketches, which is integrated with a process design module and has a built-in form editor developed by NPM INTERMECH in Minsk (http: //www.intermech .ru / techcard.htm). In the presence of an electronic design drawing, it allows the automated construction and editing of technological sketches to produce, as part of a set of technological documentation for a specific technical process operation, the necessary set of document forms, consisting of forms of operational cards with text information on the individual transitions of the operation and a number of technological sketches explaining it with graphic information. At the same time, technological sketches can be pre-created in any graphic system using the built-in CADMECH module form editor. The disadvantages of this device are: the impossibility of simultaneous comprehensive visualization of text and graphic information about the actions of the performer and the used equipment, accessories and auxiliary materials when performing a separate transition of a specific process operation on a single information field (as part of a single form of paper or displaying on a personal computer monitor) ; as well as the impossibility of “direct” use of files in technological sketches used to visualize the processing processes on CNC machines in dynamics without converting them into the corresponding program of the VERICUT type (formed in a software environment such as Unigraphics, RCS, Delcam), as well as the inability to present and playback in operational sketches of video and multimedia files such as animated 3D compositing.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to eliminate the above disadvantages and create a process visualization device that allows you to provide the required degree of visualization of the information set forth in the technological documentation, as well as a comfortable perception by its executor.

In a particular case, the process visualization device further comprises a first encoding-decoding module, a second encoding-decoding module, at least one workstation, the second encoding-decoding module and the workstation are located at a considerable distance from the visualization module, while the first the group of inputs and outputs of the second encoding-decoding module is connected to the group of inputs and outputs of the workstation, the second group PPA of the inputs and outputs of the second encoding-decoding module is connected to the first group of inputs and outputs of the first encoding-decoding module, the second group of inputs and outputs of the first encoding-decoding module is connected to the eighth group of inputs and outputs of the interface module.

In one embodiment, the proposed device (Fig. 1) further comprises: a first encoding-decoding module 12, a second encoding-decoding module 13, at least one workstation 10, the second encoding-decoding module 13 and the workstation 10 located at a considerable distance from the visualization module 1, while the first group of inputs and outputs of the second encoding-decoding module 13 is connected to the group of inputs and outputs of the workstation 10, the second Paradise group of inputs and outputs of the second encoding-decoding module 13 is connected to the first group of inputs and outputs of the first encoding-decoding module 12, the second group of inputs and outputs of the first encoding-decoding module 12 is connected to the eighth group of inputs and outputs of the interface module 5.

The visualization module 1 is intended for the automated formation of the electronic version of the technological process, and for displaying the sequence of the technological operation, including transitions, settings, and passes on the information display module 2. The built-in editor 3 module is used to generate the electronic version of the technological process, which displays the actions of the performer and used with this tool, equipment and supporting materials using visualization files (in including video and multimedia format) and text information.

The information display module 2 can be made in the form of a standard monitor or screen and interface with controls and software.

The data input / output and parameter setting module 4 may consist of a keyboard, and a USB port or any other information input / output device, as well as software and an interface. The keyboard is used to organize interaction with the operator - select the operating mode and enter data into the device.

Interface module 5 converts the formats of information arrays transmitted over the external exchange interface.

The electronic document management and storage module for technological documentation 6 provides for the storage of technological documentation in electronic form in a text editor, for example, in WORD, and an electronic document flow between the contractor and the approving authorities with the receipt of electronic signatures.

The reference database module 9 contains in electronic form the required GOSTs for visualization, typical technological processes, information about standard equipment and tools.

The module for the development of technological processes 7 provides the development of documentation for the technological process in the system of technological preparation of production adopted at the enterprise (without visualization).

In the absence of standard equipment in the reference database module 9, the equipment is designed for the required process using the tool design module and the development of technological sketches 8. Modules 1, 6, 7, 8, 9 can be executed on the basis of one computer, for example, Pentium 4 512 MB of RAM, 100 HDD, or on separate computers interconnected via a local area network.

The encoding-decoding modules 12, 13 are software encryption modules with a public key and provide protection of the transmitted information when using networks, for example, such as the Internet.

Automated workstation (AWP) 10 of any hierarchy can be performed on the basis of a computer, for example, Pentium 4 512 MB RAM, 100 HDD. AWP 10 provides operator access to the user interface, which through the interface module 5 allows you to manage the module of electronic document management and storage of technological documentation 6, the module for the development of technological processes 7, the module for designing equipment and the development of technological sketches 8, the module for the reference database 9, as well as the module built-in editor 3, data input-output and parameter setting module 4 and information display module 2, depending on their rights defined by hier easy access.

The process visualization device may also include at least one remote AWP 10 located at an unlimited distance, in this case, the visualization device further comprises a first encoding-decoding module 12 and a second encoding-decoding module 13. When transmitting data from a remote AWP 10 through the Internet, a second encoding-decoding module 13 performs data encoding, and a first encoding-decoding module 12 performs data decoding. When transmitting data from the visualization module 1 to the remote AWP 10, the first encoding-decoding module 12 performs encoding of the data, and the second encoding-decoding module 13 performs decoding of the data. Thus, the proposed visualization device transfers data from the remote AWP 10 to the visualization module 1 and the data is sent back to the remote AWP 10 via a secure communication line. Using a local area network or the Internet allows you to not limit the number of jobs. In the case of transmitting information over a local area network, the use of encoding-decoding modules is not mandatory.

The necessary visualization files and textual information can be obtained both from independent ones: the electronic document management and storage module for technological documentation 6, the module for the development of technological processes 7, the module for the design of equipment and the development of technological sketches 8 and the module for the reference database 9, and for similar modules included as part of an automated system for technological preparation of production (ASTPP), for example, ASTPP TECHCARD. In this case, the data input-output and parameter setting module 4 provides information exchange between the built-in editor module 3 and modules 6-10 of the base ASTPP, as well as external devices or AWP 10. At the outputs of the modules of the base ASTPP, the information arrays necessary for forming a technological set are formed documentation in relation to a given product range. The completeness of the technological documentation and the form of its presentation are determined by the settings of the parameters of the basic ASTPP in accordance with the standardization system adopted by the enterprise.

Connection, information exchange and organization of additional links between the base ASTPP and the visualization device is carried out through the use of their API functions and the development of user applications that ensure the use of data generated both in the base ASTPP and in external modules. Access to the system is carried out from one or several AWP 10 of the corresponding hierarchy, united by a common local area network (LAN). If it is necessary to ensure the operability of the system at several geographically remote sites, instead of a LAN, the use of the Internet is possible. In this case, access to the system is carried out with AWP 10 via an external exchange interface by transmitting arrays of information through encoding-decoding modules 12 and 13.

Consider the operation of the visualization device on the example of the operation of the device circuit shown in figure 1.

The visualization device operates in two main modes: “BUILT-IN EDITOR” and “VISUALIZATION”.

In the “BUILT-IN EDITOR” mode, an electronic version of the technical process is formed, which provides the display of the artist’s actions used with this tool, equipment and supporting materials using visualization files (including video and multimedia formats) and text information. Formation of the indicated version of the technical process can be carried out in the absence of a developed technical process, as well as in the presence of a technical process developed in the ASTPP software environment.

Consider the source data for the required process technology, check if there is a standard process technology, tooling, tools, if so, then take the required data in the reference database module 9. if not, then generate the required data in the process development module 7 and the snap-in design module and development of technological sketches 8 and through the interface module transmit the received data to the visualization module 1.

Work in the “BUILT-IN EDITOR” mode, if there is a technical process developed in the software environment of the basic ASTPP, is reduced to the transfer and conversion of the text and graphic information available in the modules of the basic ASTPP to the format of the software environment of the built-in editor 3 module through the interface module 5 and the data input-output module and setting parameters 4, followed by supplementing it with specialized files that provide the visualization process with the required degree of detail and fragmentation. These files can be developed in the software environment of the built-in editor module 3, or imported from an external device through the data input-output module and parameter settings 4.

The electronic version of the technical process thus formed is completely identical in content to the version generated in the software environment of the base ASTPP. However, the file structure of the electronic version of the technical process developed in the software environment of the built-in editor module 3 and the form of its reproduction on the information display module 2 due to the presence of specialized files provide the visualization process with the required degree of dynamics, detail and fragmentation.

Work in the "BUILT-IN EDITOR" mode in the absence of a developed technical process is reduced either to its development in the software environment of the basic automated process control system and subsequent generation of an electronic version of the technical process file developed in the software environment of the built-in editor 3 module according to the previous scenario, or to the development of the technical process directly in the built-in module environment Editor 3 with the subsequent export of text and graphic information via an external interface to the corresponding modules of the base ASTPP using the input-output module and data and setting 4 and coupling module 2.

The electronic version of the technical process generated by the built-in editor 3 module will be completely identical in content to the version generated in the software environment of the base ASTPP. However, in contrast to the version of the technical process generated in the software environment of the basic ASTPP, the structure of the initial information and the electronic version of the technical process developed in the software environment of the built-in editor module 3, as well as its playback form on the information display module 2 provide the visualization process with the required degree of dynamics, detailing and fragmentation.

The “VISUALIZATION” mode is intended to display the actions of the performer (the progress of the technological process in transitions, settings and operation passes) by playing back on the information display module 2 an electronic version of the technical process in a format generated using the built-in editor 3 module.

In the “VISUALIZATION” mode, the technological process is displayed on the information display module 2, at that, the sequence of operations with the indication of the workplace number, the required profession code with the required qualification, and also the time required to complete the operation are shown. Then they show a detailed description of each technological operation, including transitions, installations and walkways; the tool used in this operation (in the popup), a complete set according to the drawing specification. If necessary, an increase in scale is provided, as well as presentation in the form of video and / or multimedia files and repeated playback of the image. Moreover, the order of presentation may not be sequential, but selective.

The technical result achieved by using the proposed utility model is to switch to an innovative model of an automated process for the development, implementation, storage and use of technological documentation directly at workplaces with elements of visualization of the performer’s actions during the production process, which improves the quality of work and terms of adaptation of the performer in the development of new types of products. The proposed device can work both independently and in conjunction with systems for automatic design and technological preparation of production, for example, ASTPP TECHCARD system.

The presented scheme and description allow us to implement the proposed utility model, which characterizes it as industrially applicable.
