The equipment development stage is a key stage for solving the maintainability problem of the equipment and optimizing the maintainability design, but there is a problem of being unable to verify in real object. Therefore, the virtual maintenance simulation verification method is a common and economical choice for the maintainability design personnel of large and complex equipment.

[0003] At present, the maintainability virtual simulation verification of complex equipment mainly relies on mature desktop simulation software, such as CATIA, DELMIA, ICIDO, etc. Due to the limitation of desktop software, the maintainability verification in the design stage is not intuitive and simple.

8. The maintainability virtual simulation verification method based on motion capture technology according to claim 7, characterized in that, The ergonomics evaluation for maintenance includes: The maintenance attitude evaluation includes: Capture the range of flexion and extension angles operated by maintenance personnel, and score the maintenance posture based on the range of flexion and extension angles operated; The comfort evaluation includes: Obtain the heart rate range of the maintenance personnel during operation [V] min V max ]: V max =(γ max -c min )×0.8+γ min V min =(γ max -c min 0×0.6+γ min Among them, V max V is the upper limit of heart rate for maintenance personnel during operation. min The lower limit of heart rate for maintenance personnel during operation, γ max For maximum heart rate, γ min This is the resting heart rate; Comfort is scored based on the operating heart rate range; Fatigue assessment includes: Decompose the overall job fatigue into component job fatigue: R=R 1 p 1 +R 2 p 2 +…+R n p n Where R represents the overall work fatigue level, R n Let p be the fatigue level of the nth component. n Let be the fatigue weight of the nth component; Decompose the component's operational fatigue into operational point fatigue: R n =r 1 +r 2 +…+r m r m =J m / c m J m =W m ×T m W m =(w 1 +w 2 +…+w x ) / x Where, r m Let J be the fatigue level at the m-th work point. m Let γ be the work done at the m-th work point. m W represents the average heart rate at the m-th work site. m Let T be the average working force at the m-th work point. m Let w be the average operation time for the m-th operation point. x Let x be the force exerted in the xth instance, where x is the number of times the force is exerted. Based on the above decomposition process, the overall job fatigue level is calculated.
