[0019] Embodiment 1

[0020] Figure 1This is a flowchart of a valve generation method applied to chemical process simulation software provided in the first embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is applicable to the generation of valves in three-dimensional virtual simulation. The method can be executed by a valve generation device applied to chemical process simulation software. The valve generation device applied to chemical process simulation software can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The valve generation device applied to chemical process simulation software can be configured in a device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0021] S110: Acquire at least one type of valve model, and generate a prefabricated body corresponding to the valve model.

[0022] The valve model includes a valve virtual object and an interactive action corresponding to the valve virtual object.

[0023] Valves are devices that control and regulate fluid systems in the production process of chemical plants. For example, valve types may include stop valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, regulating valves, safety valves, and reversing valves.

[0024] The valve model can be a digital representation of the actual valve in a virtual environment, including the appearance, shape, structure, etc. of the valve. Specifically, the valve model can be independently constructed or downloaded from an available 3D model resource library.

[0025] The valve virtual object can be obtained by art modeling personnel using modeling software to construct and assemble the valve core, valve body, valve stem and other components of the valve in combination with actual valve product drawings, photos or real objects, and rendering them with appropriate material textures to obtain the valve virtual object.

[0026] The interactive action can be the action generated when the valve is opened or closed. For example, the user opens or closes the valve by clicking the valve virtual object, or adjusts the valve opening by dragging. In addition, special effects such as light and shadow changes and particle effects can be added to enhance the visual effect.

[0027] For example, for a ball valve, a rotation animation of the valve core may be created to simulate the opening and closing process of the valve.

[0028] Among them, the prefab can be a pre-created reusable template that contains specific components, properties and behavior settings, which can be quickly instantiated into specific application scenarios to improve development efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the valve model can be imported into the 3D design software, and the valve model can be further adjusted and optimized, such as setting material properties, adjusting lighting effects, adding collision bodies, etc., to generate a prefabricated body.

[0030] Optionally, generating a prefabricated body corresponding to the valve model includes: creating a prefabricated body model of the valve virtual object using Unity3D software; creating an interactive script of the prefabricated body model according to interactive actions corresponding to the valve virtual object, so that the prefabricated body model performs corresponding interactive actions based on user input instructions; and generating a prefabricated body corresponding to the valve model according to the prefabricated body model and the interactive script.

[0031] Use Unity3D software to create a prefabricated model of the valve virtual object. Select a suitable folder in the project view of Unity3D software, drag and drop the valve virtual object file (such as fbx format or obj format, etc.) into the folder for import; and place the valve virtual object in a suitable position in the scene view, and adjust its size, rotation angle and other properties to ensure that its appearance and position in the scene meet expectations. In addition, necessary components can be added to the valve virtual object, such as collision body components, transformation components, rendering components, animation components, etc.

[0032] To create an interactive script for the prefab model, you can add an interactive script to the prefab model in Unity's script editor using C language or UnityScript language, based on the interactive action and valve control logic, so that the valve triggers the interactive action when responding to the preset operation. Specifically, in the interactive script, you can define functions to handle different interactive actions, such as OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp and other functions for detecting mouse click events.

[0033] Furthermore, the prefab model and its corresponding interactive script may be combined to generate a prefab so that it can be reused later.

[0034] S120, determining the type of valve required for the target pipeline based on a preset insertion point of the target pipeline in the valve installation section in the three-dimensional virtual factory model.

[0035] The 3D virtual chemical plant model is a virtual factory environment created using computer technology and 3D modeling software, which presents the layout, equipment, and pipelines of the chemical plant in 3D form.

[0036] The valve installation section can be a specific location on the target pipeline for installing the valve. Specifically, it can be determined according to the pipeline layout, process requirements and operational convenience.

[0037] The insertion point can be a point on the valve installation section where the target interactive valve is assembled, and can include information such as the installation location, type, size, and operation method of the required valve. The insertion point can be a point pre-created by the modeler when building a 3D virtual factory model, and can be represented in the 3D virtual factory model through a specific graphic mark or coding method, or through an insertion point information list.

[0038] Optionally, the insertion point is a placeholder, and the placeholder is used to indicate the insertion position and type of the required valve.

[0039] The placeholder can be a general mark or symbol representing a valve, or a mark or symbol for a specific valve. Specifically, the placeholders of each valve can be named according to the design drawings of the 3D virtual factory, and the insertion position and type of the required valve can be determined by the meaning of each part of the placeholder name.

[0040] Furthermore, the type of valve required for the target pipeline is determined based on the insertion point. The type of valve required for the target pipeline can be determined based on the role of the insertion point in the process flow, the characteristics of the fluid transported in the target pipeline, and industry standards and specifications.

[0041] For example, if the target pipeline is responsible for transporting liquid chemical raw materials with certain corrosiveness, it can be determined that the type of valve required for the target pipeline is a fluorine-lined butterfly valve or other valve that is easy to operate and has good tolerance to corrosive media.

[0042] S130. Determine the pipe diameter of the target pipe based on the positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation cross section, and determine the size of the valve required for the target pipe according to the pipe diameter.

[0043] The positional relationship may be a plane positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section. Specifically, a plane coordinate system may be established on the valve installation section to determine the coordinates of the insertion point on the coordinate system, thereby determining the relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section.

[0044] In the present application, the pipe diameter of the target pipe can be determined by using a geometric relationship based on the relative position relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section and the shape of the target pipe. For example, if the shape of the target pipe is rectangular, the distance from the insertion point to the four sides of the valve installation section is determined respectively to determine the pipe diameter of the target pipe. For another example, if the shape of the target pipe is circular, the straight line passing through the insertion point and the center of the valve installation section in the valve installation section is determined as the pipe diameter of the target pipe.

[0045] Furthermore, the size of the valve required for the target pipeline can be determined based on the matching relationship between the pipeline diameter and the required valve, the characteristics of the fluid transported in the target pipeline, and industry standards and specifications.

[0046] S140. Generate a target interactive valve at the insertion point according to the prefabricated body corresponding to the type and the size.

[0047] The size of the valve required for the target pipeline may be the nominal diameter, connection size, stem length, etc. of the valve required for the target pipeline. The nominal diameter may be determined according to the inner diameter of the target pipeline; the connection size includes flange connection size, threaded connection size, etc., which may be determined according to the pipeline connection method and the inner diameter of the pipeline; the stem length may be determined according to the installation space and the standard size range of the valve.

[0048] Specifically, according to the type of valve required by the target pipeline, a prefabricated body corresponding to the type can be selected from the prefabricated bodies generated in step S130; secondly, a specific type of prefabricated body is loaded through a resource loading function; finally, according to the size of the valve required by the target pipeline, the nominal diameter, connection size, valve stem length, etc. of the loaded prefabricated body are adjusted by reduction, enlargement, stretching or compression to generate a target interactive valve.

[0049] Optionally, a target interactive valve is generated at the insertion point according to a preform corresponding to the type and the size, including: determining a scaling ratio of the preform according to the preform corresponding to the type and the size; scaling the preform according to the scaling ratio, and generating the target interactive valve at the insertion point.

[0050] Specifically, the scaling ratio can be calculated for each key dimension of the valve, such as length, width, height or diameter, wherein the scaling ratio is the ratio of the required valve size to the original size of the prefabricated body.

[0051] For example, if the required stop valve has a diameter of 100 mm and the preform has a diameter of 80 mm, the scaling ratio in the diameter direction is 100 / 80=1.25.

[0052] Furthermore, if Unity3D software is used for development, you can select the instantiated object of the prefab or directly select the prefab in the project view; modify the Scale property in the Transform component of the prefab in the Inspector panel; the Scale property represents the scaling ratio of the object in the X, Y, and Z directions; apply the previously calculated scaling ratio to the corresponding dimension.

[0053] For example, if the scaling ratios in both the diameter and length directions are 1.25, you can set the Scale property to (1.25, 1.25, 1.25). If you only need to scale in a specific dimension, you can set the value of that dimension separately, such as (1.25, 1, 1) to scale in only one direction.

[0054] After scaling the prefab, the assembly suitability of the valve and the pipeline and the interactive action of the valve can be checked. If there is a problem, the scaling ratio can be further adjusted or an error prompt can be generated to remind the modeler to perform manual fine-tuning until the generated target interactive valve meets the requirements, ensuring that the target interactive valve can work properly.

[0055] The embodiment of the present invention provides a valve generation method applied to chemical process simulation software, which obtains at least one type of valve model and generates a prefabricated body corresponding to the valve model; wherein the valve model includes a valve virtual object and an interactive action corresponding to the valve virtual object; based on the pre-set insertion point of the target pipeline in the valve installation section in the three-dimensional virtual chemical plant model, the type of valve required for the target pipeline is determined; based on the positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section, the pipe diameter of the target pipeline is determined, and the size of the valve required for the target pipeline is determined according to the pipe diameter; according to the prefabricated body and size corresponding to the type, the target interactive valve is generated at the insertion point. This technical solution improves the generation efficiency of interactive valves by creating prefabricated bodies for various types of valves in advance and realizing automatic adjustment of the prefabricated bodies based on the insertion points.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a valve generation method for chemical process simulation software provided in the second embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is optimized based on the above embodiment, and is specifically optimized to be that the positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section is that the insertion point is at a non-center position inside the valve installation section. Figure 2 As shown, the method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps.

[0058] S210, obtaining at least one type of valve model, and generating a prefabricated body corresponding to the valve model, wherein the valve model includes a valve virtual object and an interactive action corresponding to the valve virtual object.

[0059] S220, determining the type of valve required for the target pipeline based on a preset insertion point of the target pipeline in the valve installation section in the three-dimensional virtual factory model.

[0060] S230. Based on the positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section, the insertion point is located at a non-center position inside the valve installation section, a preset number of groups of straight lines passing through the insertion point are determined on the valve installation section, and two intersection points of each group of straight lines with the valve installation section are determined.

[0061] The valve installation section is generally the target pipe section, that is, a circle. The positional relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section can be that the insertion point is at the center of the valve installation section, or that the insertion point is at a non-center of the valve installation section.

[0062] According to the relative position relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section, the corresponding method for determining the pipe diameter can be determined. For example, if the insertion point is at the center of the valve installation section, the length of any line segment passing through the insertion point in the valve installation section can be used as the pipe diameter; for another example, if the insertion point is not at the center of the valve installation section, multiple rays can be emitted based on the insertion point, and the longest line segment length of each ray passing through the valve installation section can be used as the pipe diameter.

[0063] In this application, the Physics.Raycast function in Unity3D software can be used to emit rays from the insertion point to the valve installation section. It is necessary to ensure that the direction and length of the ray can accurately intersect with the valve installation section so as to intercept the exact collision point. When the ray collides with the pipeline, the position of the collision point is recorded. The coordinate information of the collision point can usually be obtained through the return result of the ray detection.

[0064] Furthermore, the length function in Unity3D software can be used to calculate the length of each group of straight lines in the valve installation section. Specifically, Lenth = Vector.Distance (Point1, Point2), where the Vector.Distance function is used in the Unity engine to calculate the Euclidean distance between two points in three-dimensional space, and Point1 and Point2 represent the coordinates of the two intersection points.

[0065] S240. For each group of straight lines, determine the length of the straight line within the valve installation cross section according to the two intersection points, and use the longest length as the pipe diameter of the target pipe.

[0066] S250: Determine the size of the valve required for the target pipeline according to the pipeline diameter.

[0067] Specifically, the valve size that matches the pipe diameter can be used as the valve size required for the target pipe according to the design criteria. For example, if the pipe diameter is 100 mm, the valve size required for the target pipe can be determined to be 100 mm. For another example, if the valve size required for the target pipe needs to be slightly larger than the pipe diameter, the valve size required for the target pipe can be determined to be 110 mm.

[0068] S260. Generate a target interactive valve at the insertion point according to the prefabricated body corresponding to the type and the size.

[0069] The embodiment of the present invention provides a valve generation method applied to chemical process simulation software. When the position relationship between the insertion point and the valve installation section is that the insertion point is at a non-center position inside the valve installation section, a preset number of groups of straight lines passing through the insertion point are determined on the valve installation section, and two intersection points of each group of straight lines and the valve installation section are determined; for each group of straight lines, the length of the straight line in the valve installation section is determined according to the two intersection points, and the longest length is used as the pipe diameter of the target pipe, and the size of the valve required for the target pipe is determined according to the pipe diameter; and the target interactive valve is generated at the insertion point according to the prefabricated body and size corresponding to the type. This technical solution can realize automatic recognition of the pipe diameter and improve the generation efficiency of the interactive valve.

[0070] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, before generating a target interactive valve at the insertion point according to the preform corresponding to the type and the size, the method further includes: determining connection parameters of the valve required for the target pipeline; accordingly, after generating a target interactive valve at the insertion point according to the preform corresponding to the type and the size, the method further includes: connecting the target pipeline and the target interactive valve at the insertion point according to the connection parameters.

[0071] The connection parameters may be the connection method, sealing method, connection position and assembly size between the target pipeline and the valve. The connection method may include flange connection, threaded connection and welding connection. The sealing method may include gasket sealing and packing sealing. The connection position may be the assembly reference point or assembly reference surface between the target pipeline and the target interactive valve. The assembly size may be the matching size between the target interactive valve and the target pipeline or other equipment, such as thread depth, weld size, etc.

[0072] In the present application, the target interactive valve can be connected to the target pipeline at the insertion point according to the above connection parameters to improve the assembly applicability between the pipeline and the valve.
