Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of virtual reality and maintenance process optimization, and particularly relates to a virtual maintenance simulation method and system for new equipment maintenance optimization. BACKGROUND

[0002] Equipment disassembly is an important part of equipment disassembly support and is the key to keeping equipment in operation. At present, many mechanical equipment shows characteristics such as high integration, advanced technology and high price. The traditional disassembly training method using real equipment is easy to cause artificial failure of the equipment, and there is a large gap between the number of training personnel and the number of equipment used for disassembly training. Such training method obviously cannot meet the needs of current equipment disassembly training. Therefore, it is urgent to innovate in the method and means of disassembly training, and to develop disassembly training methods and means that can meet the needs of equipment disassembly training and are in line with the current reality. With the rapid development of computer technology, a virtual disassembly training system based on virtual disassembly technology can provide a good solution. The virtual disassembly training system can cultivate the self-disassembly training ability of engineers and promote the rapid formation of basic disassembly support capability. The first thing that needs to be focused on is the disassemblability of the equipment.

[0003] Disassembly is a basic and common problem throughout the life cycle of complex equipment. Disassemblability has become an important indicator of equipment performance. Poor disassemblability design increases the maintenance and repair cost of equipment. In particular, some simple and basic mechanical equipment needs to have good disassemblability, which must ensure that it can be successfully disassembled within a specified time and without damaging the equipment components. Therefore, disassemblability is included in the entire life cycle of the product, and the disassemblability requirements of the equipment are realized through design, demonstration, production and verification. This is not only an urgent need to ensure equipment maintenance, but also an objective need to improve the efficiency of equipment systems and reduce the cost of after-sales service and maintenance.

[0004] Disassemblability design analysis is a factor that needs to be considered in the design stage of a product, and it is necessary to make the disassembly of the product as time-saving, labor-saving and efficient as possible. In the equipment development process, the earlier the disassemblability design is considered, the greater the flexibility of the scheme, and the lower the cost of changes. Foreign experience shows that investing 1 dollar in improving disassembly optimization design during the development process can reduce the after-sales service and maintenance period cost by 50-100 dollars. Therefore, disassemblability design analysis and verification work needs to be carried out in the scheme stage and the engineering development stage.

[0005] The disassembly optimization of the equipment in the virtual environment can not only review the disassembly of the product in the early design stage, but also simulate the disassembly scheme to be performed in advance in the use and maintenance stage of the product. Through the virtual simulation technology, the designer simulates the disassembly operation process while designing, understands whether the disassembly task is feasible, and timely changes the design scheme, so as to reduce the waste of human, material, resource and time caused by the fact that the disassembly operation is difficult to perform after the equipment is used. Through the early provision of the disassembly process observation means with stronger immersion, the simplified design process and the improved system structure can optimize the equipment disassembly, so that the engineer can save time and efficiently find and eliminate serious product design defects. Meanwhile, many disassembly and assembly data acquisition works which need to be manually performed in the past can be automatically completed in the virtual environment, thereby significantly reducing the development time and cost of the after-sales maintenance manual.

[0006] In view of the disassembly difficulties and complicated disassembly steps in the equipment disassembly process, the research on the disassembly sequence optimization of the equipment in the virtual environment is carried out. The advantages of easy mechanical equipment modeling and simple disassembly operation in the virtual environment are used to study the combination and design structure of equipment parts, find the optimal solution of the current equipment disassembly sequence, and realize the acquisition of the equipment disassembly test data and the optimization of the disassembly process, so as to reduce the key problems such as long cycle, high cost, low knowledge accumulation and training efficiency caused by the disassembly test of the real equipment.

The object in the scene is subjected to actual dynamics and physics constraints, the virtual scene is rendered in multiple channels, the interactive function is configured, the action data of the user in the scene is collected, and the maintainability verification of the product is completed. The immersive virtual maintenance simulation method and system for product maintainability verification can overcome the shortcomings of the traditional desktop virtual maintenance simulation, and improve the efficiency and reality of the virtual maintenance simulation.

[0008] The patent does not involve the product fault type related content, the present application proposes a virtual fault injection technology, and adds the module to the system, the user can inject different fault types to carry out various virtual maintenance tests; the patent collects the user action data and completes the maintainability verification of the product, the present application acquires the user maintenance process data such as maintenance time and completes the maintenance process optimization.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0059] Figure 1 is a virtual maintenance method flowchart provided by the present application;

[0060] Figure 2 is a virtual maintenance system module structure diagram in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application.

[0062] The technical solution of the present application to solve the above technical problems is:

[0063] As Figure 1 described, a virtual maintenance simulation method for new equipment maintenance optimization includes:

[0064] S1: loading a digital prototype model of new equipment such as a stern tube sealing device into a virtual maintenance environment.

[0065] The original data of the prototype model of the stern tube sealing device is derived from an equipment model in modeling software. Since the format of the file also needs to be in a general format in the field of digital art, these models cannot support the use and calling of other software, so the engineering file generated by the modeling software needs to be formatted, the converted equipment model is loaded using a prototype model loading technology, and module classification is performed.

[0066] After the classification, the function of each module of the equipment model is configured, and finally the model is displayed in the virtual maintenance environment. The display function of the typical parts of the new equipment is realized by controlling the movement, rotation and scaling of the parts, so that the operator can intuitively and vividly understand the structure and characteristics of the parts. Each object in the virtual maintenance scene has a position component, which determines the position, direction and scaling of the equipment part object. A parent needs to be created in the position component, and the operator can apply position, rotation and scaling in layers.

[0067] S2: Select the fault type and inject, determine the maintenance task operation according to the selected fault type, and determine the specific disassembly step.

[0068] The maintenance operation caused by the simulated fault can be generated by replacing the normal part with the faulty part, connecting or removing the part that is not easy to detect, etc. The fault degree should be sufficient to represent the maintenance operation to be inspected. Virtual fault injection is to inject faults into the target system according to the selected fault model by manual method, and collect the reaction information of the system to the injected fault, and maintain the system through these information.

[0069] Fault equipment import: After the complete equipment in the system receives the fault injection instruction, it starts to implement injection, and the injection method is as follows: according to the selected fault degree, the corresponding fault spare parts can be generated to replace the intact components in the equipment, and special marks are made on the fault parts through programming to facilitate the operator to identify the fault position and maintain it. The observation and recovery system collects the reaction information of the injected fault, and analyzes the recovered information to provide the operator with relevant disassembly steps.

[0070] S3: According to the maintenance task description, the parts of the equipment model are interactively operated.

[0071] In order to realize the simulation of the maintenance process in the virtual environment, the business process of the basic maintenance operation needs to be described in segments. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the maintenance action library and the design of individual maintenance actions, which need to meet the characteristics of independence and parameterization, the maintenance actions required in each stage of the basic maintenance operation are summarized and summarized, so that the operator can finally complete the entire maintenance operation.

[0072] According to the disassembly dependency relationship of the maintenance model itself, the disassembly and maintenance sequence is combined and saved according to the maintenance instructions by using the inheritance relationship of the program, so that the equipment disassembly and installation are in the correct inherent order instead of disassembly in disorder.

[0073] For virtual interactive simulation, peripheral devices are needed to position the maintenance personnel relative to the maintenance scene, and the peripheral devices are worn by the maintenance personnel to perform virtual maintenance operations.

[0074] S4: Data acquisition is performed for the entire maintenance process, and the data is exported in combination with the disassembly steps.

[0075] For the data acquisition system, in combination with the virtual reality device, the virtual equipment is maintained and other action interactions are performed. The system performs maintenance operations on the model according to the data of the data acquisition glove and records maintenance data. The maintenance data can be obtained from maintenance time, part adjustment angle, and other related parameters.

[0076] According to the requirements of the virtual maintenance test, a timer and a display panel are set in the virtual environment, and the timer and the display panel are bound to the parts of the equipment to be maintained. Data is acquired during the virtual maintenance process. The virtual maintenance test system records each step of the maintenance and exports it.

[0077] S5: The maintenance process is supplemented using the colored principle and combined with test data to establish a maintenance process model.

[0078] In the petri net, resources can only be used by transitions and cannot be used by other transitions until the transition releases the resources. The disassembled parts can only be maintained and disassembled after the constraints on other parts are removed. To disassemble the maintenance equipment, first analyze the constraint relationship between the equipment parts. The constraint relationship of the equipment can be represented by the petri model.

[0079] Some color sets are defined and given specific meanings, such as Boolean color sets, integer color sets, character color sets, list color sets, and timed color sets. These variables are used to describe some maintenance processes, and custom functions are used to simplify the program.

[0080] S6: The established model is processed in layers to simplify the model size.

[0081] In combination with the time data obtained during the virtual maintenance test process, a time-colored petri net maintenance process model is formed. The maintenance time data is added to the model to generate a time-colored petri net maintenance process model.

[0082] Sometimes only a simple description of the process model is needed, without considering the details; sometimes the specific behavior of the process needs to be understood. In view of the above problems, the hierarchical structure of the colored petri net model is used, which is called a subnet. A subnet can be said to be a subsystem, a collection of some places and transitions. Such a structure can be used to construct larger process systems.

[0083] S7: The obtained model is simulated and optimized, and the optimization method is applied to the model to realize maintenance process optimization.

[0084] By analyzing the maintenance process model, the maintenance process model is optimized, so as to establish a more efficient and more reasonable maintenance process. The analysis of the maintenance process model includes static analysis and dynamic analysis. The static analysis is mainly aimed at analyzing the static structure of the maintenance process, finding out the unreasonable part, and optimizing the structure and processing mode of the business process; the dynamic analysis is combined with the time factor to analyze the maintenance process, mainly by means of an optimization tool and a certain optimization strategy to optimize the parameters of the maintenance process model. For example, the repeated maintenance activities in the maintenance process can reduce the execution time of the maintenance process.

[0085] As Figure 2 The virtual maintenance simulation system for new equipment maintenance optimization includes a prototype loading module, a fault injection module, an interactive operation module, a data acquisition module and a maintenance optimization module.

[0086] The prototype loading module is used for converting different formats of new equipment digital models into a unified format, importing the model in the unified format into a virtual reality development software, classifying the imported model files, differentiating the components of the model and forming different game objects, but all belong to the sub-objects of the model, numbering and naming all the parts according to their differences for easy management. The parts sub-objects are modified in position to display them in the virtual maintenance environment.

[0087] The fault injection module is used for collecting all fault types, fault components, maintenance contents and other related information of each subsystem according to the composition of the new equipment, selecting a common fault type as the content of the interface display. According to the selected fault type, the fault is consciously produced by artificial method and applied to the equipment model. After the operator selects the fault and clicks confirm, the detailed content of the fault injection can be selected. The complete equipment in the system starts to implement injection after receiving the fault injection instruction. The injection method can produce corresponding fault spare parts for replacing the intact components in the equipment according to the selected fault degree. The fault parts are specially marked in the virtual reality software to facilitate the operator to identify the fault position and maintain it.

[0088] The interactive operation module is used for binding the interactive operation instruction to the interactive device, for the user to interact with the virtual scene. Virtual reality technology emphasizes natural interaction, and the interactive operation is realized based on sensors. The sensor-based interactive operation is realized by tracking the three-dimensional coordinates of each part of the user's hand through data gloves or motion sensors and other equipment to obtain the motion information of the hand for interaction.

[0089] The data acquisition module is used for collecting maintenance time data of the operator when the virtual equipment is subjected to the virtual maintenance test, and the acquired data is exported after the maintenance is completed, thereby providing data support for maintenance process optimization.

[0090] The maintenance optimization module is used for optimizing the model of the disassembly sequence of the maintenance process by using a petri net optimization principle. In the petri net, a resource can be used only by one transition and cannot be used by other transitions until the resource is released by the transition. Considering the influence of the priority of the part disassembly relationship on the maintenance efficiency, the constraint relationship between equipment parts is described by using the petri net, the disassembly model based on the petri net is established, the constraint relationship and the disassembly sequence between the equipment parts are clearly expressed in the model, the time required for disassembly can be evaluated if the disassembly time of each step is assigned, and the disassembly sequence is optimized.

[0091] The system, apparatus, module or unit illustrated in the above embodiments can be specifically implemented by a computer chip or entity, or by a product with certain functions. A typical implementation device is a computer. Specifically, the computer may, for example, be a personal computer, a laptop computer, a cellular phone, a camera phone, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, a media player, a navigation device, an email device, a game console, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or a combination of any of these devices.

[0092] It should be further understood that the terms "comprise", "contain" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that processes, methods, articles or devices that include a series of elements not only include those elements, but also include other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, articles or devices. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "comprises a" does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0093] The above embodiments should be understood as merely illustrative of the present application and not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. After reading the content disclosed in the present application, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present application, and these equivalent changes and modifications also fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
