[0048] As mentioned in the foregoing background, what needs to be solved in locomotive product configuration management is product configuration data throughout integration, and thus the embodiments of the present disclosure will disclose a product configuration generation method to solve the technical problem of large workload and long time in configuration management in the prior art.

[0049] The specific embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 A product configuration generation method flow diagram in the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, as shown in Figure 1 The product configuration generation method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the following steps:

[0051] S102, acquiring product attribute information of a first product throughout the whole life cycle of a known product configuration, wherein the product attribute information includes component information of one or more components in the first product and data information of the first product that changes throughout the whole life cycle;

[0052] It should be noted that the first product is an actual product that has completed configuration design, has been put into production, application, and market, i.e., the first product is a product with a known product configuration. The embodiments of the present disclosure take locomotive products as an example, and the existing locomotive products include various types of locomotives, such as Shaoshan 3-type electric locomotives of a direct-current transmission freight series, Shaoshan 3B-type fixed heavy chain electric locomotives, Shaoshan 7E-type passenger electric locomotives of a direct-current transmission passenger series, improved Shaoshan 7C-type electric locomotives, and modularized Shaoshan 7E-type passenger electric locomotives.

[0053] The product attribute information of the existing locomotive product throughout the whole life cycle can include key components, key information data and types of the existing locomotive product. Specifically, platform information of the existing locomotive product is obtained, and the locomotive product platform information is platform published information data of the product. Taking the Shaoshan 7C improved electric locomotive as an example, the product platform information of the locomotive includes product overview, main technical features and main technical parameters, and key information in the product platform is analyzed and extracted.

[0054] In addition, the key information data throughout the whole life cycle of the locomotive product can be fused and penetrated, which is information data capable of affecting the reliability, safety and usability of the locomotive product. These information data exist in the whole machine product information data of the locomotive product, in the component information data of the locomotive product, and in the information data changing with time or mileage. The above information data are basic information data for realizing the fusion and penetration of the key information data in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] The product attribute information of the first product throughout the whole life cycle can be extracted by manual information labeling or analyzed and extracted by a terminal device. The terminal device can be various electronic devices suitable for analyzing and extracting product attribute information, including but not limited to a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a wearable device, an augmented reality device and a virtual reality device.

[0056] S104, generating data penetration rule information of the first product throughout the whole life cycle according to the product attribute information of the first product throughout the whole life cycle;

[0057] It should be noted that the data penetration rule information of the first product throughout the whole life cycle is standardized rule information formulated according to the product attribute information, which can be understood as formulating a specification file of the product attribute information of the first product, i.e. a standardized configuration management requirement.

[0058] The data penetration rule information is information for expressing specific configuration capabilities, functional devices, services and features of the locomotive product selection scheme. In the process of locomotive product research and development and production, configuration identification, configuration control, configuration recording and configuration auditing are performed to realize configuration management of the locomotive throughout the whole life cycle in a digital and network environment.

[0059] It needs to be understood that the configuration is a set of product attribute information, that is, it includes product information, function information, data information, application information, physical information, design requirement information, etc. Configuration management is a confirmation and management process of establishing and maintaining the consistency of the function and physical characteristics of locomotive products and components with product demand design in the whole life cycle of the locomotive. The data through rule information should be uniformly determined according to the product attribute information execution standard. The basic rule target can be: to ensure the uniqueness, controllability, visibility, effectiveness and traceability of the product attribute information; the importance of product attribute information to new projects and new products; product attribute information can be controlled and maintained in the whole life cycle of the locomotive.

[0060] It can be understood that the data through rule information can be formulated by the person skilled in the art, industry standard, and individual company internal execution regulations according to actual application. Specifically, the data through rule information should be based on the product attribute information of the first product through the whole life cycle, and an effective product attribute information management library should be established according to the requirements of the national standard, and the product attribute information management library should be constructed according to the data through rule information as the standard.

[0061] Specifically, the rule information that needs to be specified in the data through rule information can include: product attribute information management basic requirements, detailed requirements, various information specifications of product attribute information such as selection specification, application specification, specification, product design specification, manufacturing specification, process specification, material specification of the data obtained, market rule making in product attribute information such as bidding specification, procurement standard, cooperation agreement, sales path, etc. The data through rule information needs to be audited by the formulator before being finally formulated.

[0062] The generation of the data through rule information can be formulated by the person skilled in the art, or can be generated by the terminal device according to the national standard specification combined with the product attribute information of the first product through the whole life cycle. The standard file after generation can be appropriately adjusted and modified.

[0063] S106, according to the data through rule information of the first product in the whole life cycle, defining the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product;

[0064] It needs to be explained that the metadata is the original basic data for obtaining the product attribute information of the first product through the whole life cycle. When the original basic data is initially obtained, the same data information may not be consistent from the initial design to the final production and sale due to different naming of the same component in different departments, under different processes, and in different stages of the whole life cycle, which makes it difficult to integrate and penetrate the data information in the whole life cycle and keep consistent. Therefore, the original basic data should be uniformly named according to the data through rule information, and defined as metadata.

[0065] The original basic data defined as metadata is unified product attribute information, so as to better realize data fusion and penetration. Specifically, the metadata of locomotive products and locomotive components has upstream and downstream associations and constraints in the same metadata in each stage or some stages of the whole life cycle. Therefore, when extracting the metadata of a first product or a component of the first product, the metadata of other data information in different stages of the whole life cycle can be obtained, so as to achieve the purpose of data fusion and penetration.

[0066] In S108, the product configuration of the second product is generated according to the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product, the pre-established product code library, and the design structure information and / or component information of the second product to be generated.

[0067] It should be noted that the pre-established code library is a code set in the product attribute information of the first product and one or more components of the first product. It should be understood that the code is the coding information of the first product and one or more components of the first product. The code information is the unique identifier of data transmission. The establishment of the product platform code library and the specific model code library and the component code library is the basis for data information interconnection.

[0068] Taking the pantograph as an example, different types of pantographs are suitable for different types, different parameters, and different functions of specific model locomotives. The pantograph, as a component-level specific device of the locomotive, is also divided into many types according to specific parameters and performance. Specifically, the pantograph is a current collecting device of electric locomotives and electric vehicles from the contact net wire. According to the structure of the arm, it can be divided into double-arm pantographs and single-arm pantographs. According to the specific structure, it can be divided into a bow head part, a hinge part, a transmission mechanism, and a chassis part. Each specific structure can be further divided into specific parts, such as a balance rod, a push rod, an upper frame, a hinge seat, and a lower arm rod. Each specific part is related to the manufacturer, color, parameter, performance requirement, and other indicators. Therefore, the data information involved in the whole machine product is complex, and it is necessary to code each component, structure, and part. Each code will directly replace the text information and directly serve as the identifier of data transmission. Using code as the identifier of data information will greatly improve the data penetration and fusion degree and facilitate the unified management of data information.

[0069] It should be noted that the locomotive product involves many basic components. In order to facilitate the construction of the product code library, the product code library is specifically divided into a product platform code library, a specific model code library, and a component code library.

[0070] According to the metadata and the corresponding code library, the design structure information and / or component information of the second product are input, and all the most suitable information related to the second product is matched in the metadata and the corresponding code library according to an algorithm to generate a product configuration of the second product. It should be noted that the second product is a product with an unknown product configuration, and the product configuration of the second product is derived from the product configuration of the first product. The metadata is various product attribute information, and then according to the required parameters, performance and function, the product configuration of the second product can be extracted in the metadata.

[0071] The embodiments of the present disclosure solve the problem that product attribute information is inconsistent, the configuration is diverse and not unified, and the configuration management requirement of data fusion cannot be met in different stages and different application scenarios of the whole life cycle of the product by building a product configuration generation method. The product configuration of the product is finally generated in the form of extracting and fusing key data into unified metadata, and the efficiency of configuration management is improved.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the product configuration generation of the second product can also be generated based on the data fusion rule information and the metadata.

[0073] It should be explained that the product attribute information defined as the metadata, the data fusion rule information and the product code library are respectively complex and have internal upstream and downstream associations, and the data information contained therein is associated with each other to form a mapping. When a new second product is to be manufactured, the required data information such as the design configuration is input, and other data information of upstream and downstream fusion can be obtained in other databases, that is, the product configuration of data fusion is generated.

[0074] Specifically, the product configuration includes product attribute information. Taking the information of the design configuration and the manufacturing configuration as an example, the product design configuration and the product manufacturing configuration are input in the metadata, the data fusion rule information and the product code library, and the product platform data fusion configuration is searched in the mapping of the upstream and downstream associations. After the configuration is extracted, the product configuration is generated.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 Before the product configuration of the second product is generated according to the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product and the pre-established product code library, the following steps are further included:

[0076] S202, code information of the first product and each component in the first product is acquired;

[0077] It should be noted that before the locomotive is assembled, each first product and each component in the first product is provided with code information before leaving the factory, and the code information contains product attribute information of the first product and each component in the first product. According to the data penetration rule information, the code can be directly used as the code information of the first product and each component in the first product, or the code is adaptively changed to code information conforming to the data penetration rule information, so that the code information becomes the only identification of data transmission, that is, one code represents one product attribute information.

[0078] S204, establishing a product code library of the first product according to the code information of the first product and each component in the first product.

[0079] The product code library includes a product platform code library, a specific model code library and a component code library. The codes of each specific code library come from product platform attribute information, product specific model attribute information and product component attribute information. The product code library contains all code information of the locomotive product and product components. The code information in the product code library has upstream and downstream association and constraint as the metadata described above. When the second product is registered, the required information is input, and the product code library outputs corresponding product configuration code information according to its own mapping.

[0080] The embodiment of the disclosure guarantees the uniqueness of data transmission in data fusion penetration by pre-establishing the product code library, and better configuration management can be performed by determining the code information.

[0081] In some embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in Figure 3 After the product configuration of the second product is generated according to the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product and the pre-established product code library, the following steps are further included:

[0082] S302, obtaining design structure change information and / or component change information of the second product;

[0083] It should be noted that the generated product configuration of the second product is based on the original configuration data of the product configuration of the second product, and the generated second product needs to adaptively change the configuration, so the design structure change information and / or component change information of the second product needs to be obtained to form a more adaptive second product configuration.

[0084] S304, changing the product configuration of the second product according to the design structure change information and / or component change information of the second product.

[0085] According to the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product and the pre-established product code library, a product configuration of the second product is generated, and then the second product configuration is changed, so that the generated second product is more in line with the generation requirements of the second product, and the product configuration of the finally generated second product is more complete and appropriate.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 4 A method for generating a second product configuration instance is shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 4 According to the metadata of the first product and one or more components of the first product and the pre-established product code library, a product configuration of the second product is generated, and then the second product configuration is changed, so that the generated second product is more in line with the generation requirements of the second product, and the product configuration of the finally generated second product is more complete and appropriate.

[0087] S402, obtaining product data of the first product in different application scenarios;

[0088] In the product life cycle, product data in different stages and different application scenarios is different, and the generated product configuration is different. During the adjustment and maintenance process before the first product is manufactured, different product configuration instances will be generated after appropriate adjustment and modification.

[0089] S404, generating product configuration instances of the second product in different application scenarios according to the product data of the first product in different application scenarios and the product configuration of the first product.

[0090] Obtaining relevant product data in different application scenarios realizes the variability of product life cycle data penetration and improves the work efficiency of product configuration generation.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the code information of the first product and each component in the first product corresponds to the metadata of the first product and each component in the first product one by one. The one-to-one correspondence between the code information and the metadata ensures that the code always plays a unique identification role in generating the product configuration, and realizes the integration of product data penetration.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the product attribute information of the first product throughout the whole life cycle is stored in an existing data information library, and the existing data information library includes a bill of materials (BOM) of the first product throughout the whole life cycle.

[0093] It should be noted that BOM: Bill Of Material, i.e. a bill of materials, is important integrated data in the design and production process of a manufacturing enterprise, and various information systems with products as the core. It can be understood that the information contained in the BOM is much more complex and cumbersome than the product attribute information to be obtained in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the data information of the BOM in the process often contains process, processing procedure, forging and casting heat treatment, detection, work material, tooling time, etc. Among them, the processing procedure contains data information such as work quota, processing equipment, detection equipment, processing tool, tooling fixture, and material. And it is difficult to find the internal data through connection in these complex data information, so it is necessary to extract more key product attribute information from the database that is helpful for data fusion.

[0094] Taking the bill of materials BOM as the existing data information base of product attribute information can greatly cover all information in the whole life cycle of the locomotive, and is also more conducive to the integrity and effectiveness of data information acquisition.

[0095] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a product configuration generation device, as follows. Since the principles of the device embodiments solve problems are similar to the above-mentioned method embodiments, the implementation of the device embodiments can be referred to the implementation of the above-mentioned method embodiments, and the repeated parts will not be described here.
