[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1An equipment status monitoring device for a computer interlocking system provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a configuration data module 100, a status data module 200, and a drawing display module 300. The configuration data module 100 is used to obtain the type and quantity of equipment in the station field, and obtain the drawing elements of each equipment according to the type and quantity of the equipment and the preset equipment specification information; the status data module 200 is used to receive status message data from the server, and parse the status message data to obtain the status of the equipment; the drawing display module 300 is used to draw and display the scene graph according to the drawing elements of each equipment and the status of the equipment.

[0032] The device separates configuration data and status data by setting a configuration data module 100 and a status data module 200, wherein the configuration data only customizes the data of each drawing element of the device in the scene, and the status data is used to update the display status in real time. The drawing display module 300 is used to implement the drawing logic of the scene. After the logic is separated from the data, when the configuration data and the status data change, the scene graph can be modified without modifying the drawing logic, which is convenient for subsequent expansion.

[0033] For a computer interlocking system, the main purpose of operation and maintenance is to be able to understand the operating status of each device in a timely manner. Therefore, the present invention designs a component architecture consisting of a configuration data module 100, a status data module 200 and a drawing display module 300 to achieve the functions required for operation and maintenance.

[0034] When the preset specification information of the equipment changes due to factors such as site switching, equipment switching, system iteration upgrade, etc., by setting the configuration data module 100, the preset equipment specification information can be easily added, modified or deleted when the equipment changes.

[0035] By setting the status data module 200, the operating status of each device can be obtained in time. The drawing and display module 300 draws the scene graph according to the status data module 200, so the scene graph includes the status information of each device. When a device fails, the location of the faulty device can be quickly located through the scene graph, so as to facilitate timely notification of maintenance personnel for maintenance, thereby improving the efficiency of the staff.

[0036] The following is a detailed description of each module.

[0037] See also Figure 2 The configuration data module 100 is mainly used to set and store various specification information of the equipment. Then, according to the type and quantity of the loading station equipment and the various specification information of the stored equipment, the drawing elements of each device can be calculated according to the preset rules, thereby facilitating the drawing display module 300 to draw the scene graph.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the drawing elements of a device may include, for example, the device name, device position, device spacing, device image, device size, device connection, and device status. Among them, the device name is unique, and each device has its own unique name; the device spacing reflects the distance information between devices, which is convenient for drawing to allow a certain interval between each device; the device image may be, for example, a picture path; the device size corresponds to the size of the device image. The device status corresponds to the device image, and different device states correspond to different device images, so that different display styles can be drawn for different device states during subsequent drawing.

The method includes steps S100 to S300.

[0052] Step S100, obtaining the type and quantity of devices in the scene, and obtaining the drawing elements of each device according to the type and quantity of the devices and the preset device specification information. This step can be performed by the configuration data module 100, which mainly obtains the type and quantity of devices in the scene to calculate the drawing elements of each device.
