Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of space launch technology, and in particular to a rhythm control method and system for joint operation activities. Background Art

[0002] Space launch management is a complex system, involving numerous personnel operating different equipment in different locations, all performing different operations simultaneously. To ensure the orderliness, compatibility, coordination, and synchronization of these various operations, it is necessary to establish constraints for each operation and adopt a hierarchical, unified control model.

[0003] For large-scale joint space launch operations, manual command and dispatch mode is currently widely used, that is, a dispatcher collects status and preparation information and issues dispatch commands for subsequent work items. The dispatch and command work procedures are as follows:

[0004] 1. Conduct roll call to understand the status of personnel and equipment at each post.

[0005] 2. Collect the technical status of relevant positions through dispatch commands.

[0006] 3. Based on the collected technical status information, determine whether all planned work items have been completed. If completed, end this joint action; otherwise, proceed to step 4.

[0007] 4. Based on the collected technical status information, determine whether the conditions for entering the next work item are met. If not, continue to wait for the results of the relevant positions' handling. If met, issue the command to proceed to the next work item;

[0008] 5. Carry out the handling of related work projects as planned.

[0009] The above manual command and dispatch mode has the following problems:

[0010] All steps were completed manually, necessitating dedicated dispatchers. This resulted in wasted manpower and a significant time consumption. All positions were assigned to work within their allotted timeframes. Any work completed ahead of schedule was placed on hold until the scheduled time expired. Supervisors would then collect technical status information via dispatch commands, and subsequent work could not begin until the next project was officially initiated. This resulted in a significant waste of time and resources. The numerous steps involved in collecting information and assessing and comparing technical status were prone to errors. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In view of this, the present application provides a rhythm control method and system for joint operation activities to solve the above technical problems.

[0014] The general dispatch server determines whether to start the general program of the joint operation activity according to the pre-set startup constraints of the general program. If yes, it sends a command to all the position servers to start the general program.

[0015] After receiving the command to start the overall program, each post server begins processing the first work item. Subsequently, based on the judgment conditions of the normal completion of the n-1th work item and the judgment conditions of the preparation of the nth work item, it determines whether the post can start processing the nth work item. If yes, the judgment result is reported to the overall scheduling server.

[0016] The general scheduling server determines whether to release the nth rhythm control point according to the release condition of the nth rhythm control point. If yes, it sends a command to all position servers to start executing the nth work item until all rhythm control points are released.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0039] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] First, a brief introduction to the design concept of the embodiments of the present application is given.

[0041] For large-scale joint space launch operations, the current common practice is to use a manual command and dispatch model, where a dispatcher collects information on the status of preparations and issues dispatch commands for subsequent work items. This model has the following problems:

[0042] All steps were completed manually, necessitating dedicated dispatchers. This resulted in wasted manpower and a significant time consumption. All positions were assigned to work within their allotted timeframes. Any work completed ahead of schedule was placed on hold until the scheduled time expired. Supervisors would then collect technical status information via dispatch commands, and subsequent work could not begin until the next project was officially initiated. This resulted in a significant waste of time and resources. The numerous steps involved in collecting information and assessing and comparing technical status were prone to errors.

[0043] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a rhythm control method for joint operation activities, which designs activity rhythm control points and their release conditions based on the purpose and content of large-scale joint operation activities; based on the content of large-scale joint operation activities, rhythm control points and their release conditions, clarifies the positions covered by the system, compiles the operating procedures and work procedures for each position, and establishes the content and standards for judging the working status; designs and develops computer software for "large-scale joint operation rhythm control system with distributed judgment and centralized scheduling", integrates and assembles, and completes the construction of "large-scale joint operation rhythm control system with distributed judgment and centralized scheduling", including software and hardware facilities; jointly inspects and centrally tests the effectiveness, adequacy and suitability of "large-scale joint operation rhythm control system with distributed judgment and centralized scheduling".

[0044] This application solves the problem of purely manual command and dispatch of existing large-scale joint operations for space launches through automated judgment and comparison of dispatching posts; computer distributed judgment and active reporting solve the problem of passive waiting of technical operation posts, that is, posts handle work according to the assigned time and after the work is completed, they are in a state of waiting for superiors to collect information; through the joint confirmation system of "commander + expert", the problem of rhythm control of large-scale joint operations is solved.

[0045] Compared with the existing technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0046] 1. All judgment work can be completed by computers, which can replace full-time dispatcher positions, simplify job settings and the complexity of the dispatch system, improve the level of automation, save human resources, and reduce human errors.

[0047] 2. All positions are assigned to work at the time actually required. After the work is completed, the computer will report the work status in real time. The password (instruction) for collecting work status information has been cancelled, eliminating the passive waiting state of the positions according to the planned completion time, and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0048] 3. It realizes distributed judgment of posts and centralized control of overall dispatch, and effectively controls the rhythm and correctness of large-scale joint operations through the release of control points. It makes the coordination of work between posts distributed in different spaces and with different operation contents and natures simple and easy, while ensuring the work efficiency and results of large-scale joint operations.

[0049] 4. For specific large-scale joint operations, establish an automated command and dispatch work procedure, set constraints for program startup, rhythm control points, and control point release, and insert a "commander + expert" joint control mechanism at the control point.

[0050] After introducing the application scenarios and design concepts of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a rhythm control method for joint operation activities, which is applied to a general scheduling server and multiple position servers, including:

[0052] Step 101: Each post server determines whether the post is ready according to the pre-set readiness judgment conditions. If so, the post readiness completion information is reported to the general dispatch server;

[0053] Prior to this step, the method further comprises:

[0054] Step S1: The general scheduling server obtains all work items of the joint operation activity, confirms the positions involved in the joint operation activity and their locations and spatial positions; estimates the time required to complete each work item; sets the judgment conditions for each position's preparation, each work item's preparation, and each work item's normal completion and sends them to the corresponding position server.

[0055] Among them, the judgment condition of the position R being ready is R0{y1,y2,…,y m} indicates that the judgment condition for the completion of the nth work item of position R is R n {y1,y2,…,y m} indicates that the judgment condition for normal completion is represented by R n ′{y1,y2,…,y m} means, y1,y2,…,y m Represents m decision factors.

[0056] Step S2: The general dispatch server compiles a general program for commanding and dispatching work based on the time required to complete the joint operation activity, the time required to complete each work item, the order of work items, and the constraints between work items. The general program includes: a joint operation activity plan and specific work procedures.

[0057] Step S3: setting the start constraint conditions and rhythm control points for the overall program;

[0058] In order to ensure that many different positions in different spaces can complete the large-scale joint operation in an orderly manner within the specified time, constraints are set for the start of the overall program, using Z0{x1,x2,…,x n} means that x1, x2, …, x n Represents n work items, only those that meet the constraints Z0{x1,x2,…,x n}, the main program can be started; in the main program, set the rhythm control point at the end of the previous step and before the start of the subsequent step, and preset the release condition for the rhythm control point (such as receiving that all the previous work items have been completed and normal, and the subsequent work items are ready). The release condition of the nth control point is Z n {x1,x2,…,x n}express.

[0059] Step S4: Set status judgment methods and standards for all job procedures to enable self-judgment and reporting of all job statuses; at the same time, compile a joint operation control chart:

[0060] (1) Clarify the purpose of the workflow and determine all work items, operation steps, rhythm control conditions, and possible events in the workflow;

[0061] (2) Confirm the requirements and control measures for quality, safety, environment and emergency response;

[0062] (3) Determine the infrastructure requirements, required positions and personnel, and parallel work during process implementation;

[0063] (4) Integrate quality, safety, environment, and emergency response control measures (including status judgment methods and standards at rhythm control points) into specific operating procedures and status inspections;

[0064] (5) According to the time sequence and duration, the overall process rhythm control point, list the work items, operation content, status monitoring and job coordination relationship to form:

[0065] General dispatching command procedures, standardizing the dispatching process and rhythm control points;

[0066] The total scheduling state judgment table, standardizes the total scheduling Z0{x1,x2,…,x n} and Z n {x1,x2,…,x n} and its judgment methods and standards;

[0067] Position joint operation control chart, standardize work items and content, control measures, R0{y1,y2,…,y m}、R n {y1,y2,…,y m}、R n ′{y1,y2,…,y m} and status judgment methods and standards at rhythm control points, etc.

[0068] Step 102: The general scheduling server determines whether to start the general program of the joint operation activity according to the pre-set starting constraint conditions of the general program. If yes, it sends a command to all the position servers to start the general program.

[0069] Step 103: After receiving the command to start the overall program, each post server begins processing the first work item. Subsequently, based on the judgment conditions of the normal completion of the n-1th work item and the judgment conditions of the preparation of the nth work item, it determines whether the post can start processing the nth work item. If so, the judgment result is reported to the overall scheduling server.

[0070] Step 104: The general scheduling server determines whether to release the nth rhythm control point according to the release conditions of the nth rhythm control point. If yes, it sends a command to all job servers to start executing the nth work item until all rhythm control points are released.

[0071] Step 105: After receiving the command to start executing the nth work item, each job server processes the nth work item according to the workflow of this job until all work items are processed.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, the present application provides a rhythm control system for a joint operation activity. Figure 2 As shown, the rhythm control system 200 of the joint operation activity provided by the embodiment of the present application includes at least: a plurality of post servers 201 and a general scheduling server 202;

If yes, the post readiness completion information is reported to the general scheduling server; when the command to start the general program is received, the first work item is processed, and then the post is judged whether the post can start processing the nth work item based on the judgment condition of normal completion of the n-1th work item and the judgment condition of readiness of the nth work item. If yes, the judgment result is reported to the general scheduling server; when the command to start executing the nth work item is received, the nth work item is processed according to the workflow of this post until all work items are processed;

[0074] The general scheduling server 202 is used to determine whether to start the general program of the joint operation activity based on the pre-set startup constraint conditions of the general program. If so, a command to start the general program is issued to all job servers; based on the release condition of the nth rhythm control point, it is used to determine whether to release the nth rhythm control point. If so, a command to start executing the nth work item is issued to all job servers; until all rhythm control points are released.
