Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerospace manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an intelligent assembly data management system for aircraft components based on compliance verification. Background Technology
[0002] In the aerospace manufacturing field, the complexity and high precision requirements of aircraft component assembly place stringent demands on the integrity, timeliness of verification, and traceability of data management. Traditional assembly data management models have significant shortcomings: data acquisition and storage are discrete, key information such as process parameters, environmental indicators, and positioning accuracy lack structured integration, making them prone to redundancy and omissions; compliance verification relies on manual comparison with standard documents, which is inefficient and susceptible to subjective factors, easily leading to potential quality issues; the data traceability chain is not continuous, making it difficult to quickly retrieve relevant information when quality problems occur; and the historical data reuse rate is low, requiring repeated resource investment in data sorting during process improvement or new aircraft model development, which restricts the improvement of assembly intelligence and quality stability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides an intelligent assembly data management system for aircraft components based on compliance verification. The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: The standard process library construction unit is used to build a standard process library covering all types of aircraft components. The library is structured and classified according to component type, assembly stage, and process type. The categories of the structured classification are process step description, process parameter range, environmental requirements, positioning accuracy standards, and corresponding compliance judgment rules. The assembly information acquisition unit is used to collect environmental data at the assembly site; obtain real-time process parameters and assembly data through the intelligent monitoring module of the assembly equipment; capture real-time positioning coordinates, assembly gaps, hole deviations and positioning accuracy data of components using high-precision visual inspection equipment and measuring tools; and interface with the manufacturing execution subsystem to form a structured assembly information dataset after data cleaning and format standardization. The data management system unit is used to connect with the standard process library construction module, the assembly information acquisition module, and the conformity verification module, and to integrate the real-time process parameters, the real-time assembly data, and the verification result report from multiple sources in a structured manner; and to obtain a data trend analysis table by performing data trend analysis on historical assembly data and verification results through a data analysis model. The qualification verification unit is used to perform multi-dimensional verification on the real-time data transmitted by the assembly information acquisition module, including environmental adaptation verification, process parameter verification and positioning accuracy verification. After the verification is completed, a report containing detailed results of each item is generated, annotating the abnormal location, deviation value and standard basis, and synchronized to the data management system and the assembly site terminal.
[0004] Specifically, the standard process library construction unit provides benchmark data for the conformity verification unit; the real-time data collected by the assembly information acquisition unit serves as the input to the conformity verification unit; and the data management system unit receives the data from the first three units, integrates and analyzes trends to form a closed-loop management system.
[0005] Specifically, the standard process library includes basic component information, assembly stage division, process type, environmental requirements, positioning accuracy standards, and compliance judgment rules. The basic component information, assembly stage division, process type, environmental requirements, positioning accuracy standards, and compliance judgment rules are used to construct a standard process library module based on a preset standard process library template.
[0006] Specifically, the assembly information acquisition unit is constructed as follows: Based on the information dimension requirements and real-time requirements of aircraft component assembly, the required real-time process parameters, real-time assembly data, and positioning accuracy data types are identified, and a multi-dimensional acquisition scheme is designed, determining the selection criteria for acquisition tools. According to the communication protocols and data formats of the acquisition tools, standardized acquisition interfaces are designed, and data cleaning and format conversion processing rules are formulated to ensure the consistency and usability of data from different sources. Data acquisition and transmission functional modules are developed according to the design scheme, integrating sensors, detection equipment, and modules, and debugging is performed to ensure the continuity and accuracy of data acquisition. Based on the actual needs of the assembly scenario, the data acquired by the modules is verified, and any anomalies are optimized.
[0007] Specifically, the data management system unit construction process is as follows: Based on system collaboration requirements and aviation data management specifications, the interfaces that modules need to interface with are clearly defined, and the aviation data standards and business function requirements that need to be met are determined. A hybrid architecture of edge nodes and a central database is adopted, with real-time process parameters stored on the assembly line edge server and historical data and verification reports stored in the central database, and interfaces for interaction with the product lifecycle management system are reserved. According to data types and aviation data characteristics, a structured model is constructed according to data types, data association rules are defined, and storage strategies are formulated for different data characteristics. Based on module functional requirements and system compatibility requirements, core functional modules for data access, access control, data analysis, and security protection are developed and tested in conjunction with other modules. According to aviation industry standards and system performance requirements, the compliance of modules is reviewed in accordance with aviation industry standards, and system bottlenecks are located and resolved through stress testing.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conformity verification unit includes a rule definition model, a data verification model, an anomaly handling model, a result archiving model, and a compliance output model. In the data verification model, data calculation requires consideration of engineering standards, design requirements, and actual measurement data. The core principle is to set a conformity threshold using theoretical formulas and then compare it with actual measured data to complete the verification. The specific calculation method includes: The formula for calculating the spatial comprehensive deviation is as follows: Where ΔL is the spatial position deviation in millimeters, ΔX is the position deviation on the X-axis, ΔY is the position deviation on the Y-axis in millimeters, and ΔZ is the position deviation on the Z-axis in millimeters. If both the single-axis deviation and the overall deviation meet the design threshold, the position is deemed qualified. Formula for calculating geometric tolerance verification of component profile: Flatness tolerance calculation uses the least squares method to fit an ideal plane. Let the equation of the fitted plane be: ax + by + cz + d = 0. Calculate the flatness tolerance at each measurement point. Distance to the plane: Flatness tolerance The difference between the maximum and minimum distances, when At that time, among them The flatness tolerance threshold is used to determine whether the condition is acceptable. Profile tolerance calculation is based on the theoretical profile line of curved surface design. Calculate the actual measurement points Shortest distance to the theoretical profile: Take the maximum deviation of all points ,when At that time, among them The contour threshold is used to determine if it is qualified.
[0009] Specifically, the compliance verification unit's verification process is as follows: It calls the benchmark data from the standard process library and matches it with the real-time dataset from the assembly information acquisition unit. Then, based on component characteristics, it adaptively selects a combination algorithm for spatial coordinate matching and geometric tolerance verification. Environmental adaptation verification uses a multi-parameter coupled evaluation model to construct an environmental adaptation index based on weighted factors and maps deviation to determine adaptability. Process parameter verification utilizes a long short-term memory network to extract parameter fluctuation amplitude, frequency, and derivative features, combines them with environmental interference factors to construct a feature matrix, and identifies abnormal patterns through dynamic thresholds. Positioning accuracy verification decomposes translation and rotation errors using an iterative nearest-point algorithm, and calculates the contribution weight of each component based on tolerance levels to evaluate the overall deviation. The triple verification mechanism is simultaneously activated to ensure verification reliability, ultimately generating a structured report containing deviation data and standard basis, providing compliance judgment and anomaly warning support for the assembly process.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) By setting up real-time compliance verification, it can automatically check every step of the aircraft component assembly process, part specifications, and installation sequence, and promptly detect deviations that do not meet aviation safety standards. This process reduces the subjectivity and oversight of human judgment, reduces assembly errors caused by violations of regulations from the source, ensures that the entire assembly process strictly follows industry norms and technical requirements, and greatly improves the compliance of aircraft component assembly and the quality accuracy of the final product. (2) By setting up a system for centralized collection, storage and management of assembly data, the limitations of traditional scattered data recording are broken; on the one hand, the automatically generated conformity report data can provide clear and complete basis for subsequent inspection and review, improving work efficiency; on the other hand, complete historical assembly data can realize full-process traceability, and when quality problems occur, the problem link can be quickly located and the cause analyzed, providing data support for fault diagnosis and process optimization, while also meeting the stringent requirements of the aviation industry for product life cycle data management.
