[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle maintenance, and in particular to a method for quickly matching spare parts and maintenance tools and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] The accessories and repair tools used in different models of vehicles are generally different. In order to cover a wider service range, repair shops generally purchase different spare parts and repair tools for various models. However, in today's maintenance model, it is often after the broken-down vehicle arrives at the repair shop that the repairman begins to find the spare parts and repair tools specifically for the broken-down vehicle among a large number of spare parts and repair tools. This maintenance model is obviously extremely dependent on the rich experience of the repairman. For inexperienced repairmen, they will inevitably spend a lot of time looking for spare parts and repair tools, which will undoubtedly reduce maintenance efficiency and lead to extended maintenance cycles.

[0003] There is currently no effective technical solution to the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and related equipment for quickly matching spare parts and maintenance tools, which solves the problem that inexperienced maintenance personnel waste a lot of time in finding spare parts and maintenance tools, thereby achieving the effect of improving maintenance efficiency and shortening maintenance cycles.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for quickly matching spare parts and repair tools, which is applied to a vehicle maintenance system, wherein the vehicle maintenance system comprises a parts rack for placing spare parts and a tool rack for placing repair tools; the spare parts are used to replace faulty parts in a faulty vehicle; the method for quickly matching spare parts and repair tools comprises the following steps: S1.

Associating the special tools corresponding to each of the faulty parts with the corresponding spare parts; S43. The currently used spare part is taken as the target part, and when a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target part is used, a prompt is issued to the maintenance worker.

[0010] This application manages the relationship between special tools and spare parts in a systematic and intelligent way, greatly reducing the possibility of human error. At the same time, the real-time monitoring and prompt functions can give corrective suggestions as soon as errors occur. This proactive prevention and timely correction method not only improves the quality of maintenance, but also effectively shortens maintenance time and improves customer satisfaction.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific steps in step S41 include: S411. Based on the vehicle model, determine the must-remove accessories corresponding to each of the faulty accessories respectively according to each of the faulty accessories, the must-remove accessories including the corresponding faulty accessories and accessories that have a unique removal order with the corresponding faulty accessories and must be removed before removing the corresponding faulty accessories; S412. Use the maintenance tools required for disassembling the necessary accessories as the special tools corresponding to the faulty accessories.

[0012] The method of the present application can more comprehensively predict the tools that may be needed during the repair process by considering the necessary parts to be removed, thereby avoiding this situation. In addition, the method of the present application also takes into account the differences in vehicle models, which makes tool selection more accurate, avoids the possible misuse of tools between different models, and further improves the accuracy and safety of repairs.

Determine the currently used maintenance tool according to the first image and the second image and use the currently used maintenance tool as the target tool; S433. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target accessory. If the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target accessory, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel. When the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within a specified time, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel's superior.

[0014] Furthermore, the specific steps in step S433 include: S4331. When the maintenance personnel report that a new faulty part has appeared, the new faulty part will be used as a supplementary part; S4332. Determine the maintenance tools required for disassembly of the supplementary parts and use them as special tools corresponding to the supplementary parts; S4333. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary accessory. If the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary accessory, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel, and when the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within the specified time, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel's superior.

[0015] Furthermore, a bar mark is provided on the surface of each of the maintenance tools, and the bar marks of any two maintenance tools are different in color or quantity; The specific steps in step S432 include: S4321. Extracting the bar marks of all the maintenance tools from the first image and making a first mark map; S4322. Extracting the bar-shaped identifications of all the maintenance tools from the second image and making a second identification map; S4323. Compare the first identification map and the second identification map, and take the maintenance tool corresponding to the missing bar identification as the target tool.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a quick matching device for spare parts and repair tools, which is applied to a vehicle maintenance system, wherein the vehicle maintenance system comprises a parts rack for placing spare parts and a tool rack for placing repair tools; the spare parts are used to replace faulty parts in a faulty vehicle; the quick matching device for spare parts and repair tools comprises: An acquisition module, used to acquire the vehicle model and all the faulty parts of the faulty vehicle before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop; A first processing module, configured to determine all the spare parts dedicated to the faulty vehicle according to the faulty parts; A second processing module is used to determine all the maintenance tools dedicated to the faulty vehicle according to the vehicle model; The prompt module is used to prompt the maintenance worker to select a designated maintenance tool as a special tool for use when the spare parts are taken after all the spare parts are placed in the designated positions of the parts rack and all the maintenance tools are placed in the tool rack.

[0017] The active, pre-preparation method proposed by the spare parts and maintenance tool quick matching device provided by the present invention can make full use of the time before the vehicle arrives and complete most of the preparation work in advance. This method not only improves the efficiency of time utilization, but also better allocates human resources and avoids congestion during peak maintenance periods.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of the present invention, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] According to today's maintenance model, when a faulty vehicle enters a repair shop, the maintenance process is usually as follows: First, the maintenance personnel need to confirm the vehicle model and the specific fault part. Then, they must search for matching spare parts in the huge parts library. This process may involve consulting multiple catalogs, comparing part numbers, and may even require repeated confirmation to avoid choosing the wrong one. At the same time, for different fault types and vehicle models, maintenance personnel also need to select appropriate maintenance tools from the tool library. This selection process is also complicated because some special models may require the use of special tools. The entire preparation process may take several hours, greatly extending the maintenance cycle.

[0031] This technical problem seriously affects the efficiency and reliability of the vehicle maintenance system. The extended preparation time directly leads to an increase in the maintenance cycle, which reduces the service capacity and customer satisfaction of the repair shop. The high reliance on experience increases the risk of human error, such as selecting incompatible accessories or unsuitable tools, which may lead to poor maintenance quality and even secondary damage. In addition, this inefficient working mode also increases maintenance costs, because the repair shop needs to invest more human resources to manage and retrieve a large number of accessories and tools.

[0032] For this, please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the present invention provides a method for quickly matching spare parts and maintenance tools, which is applied to a vehicle maintenance system, wherein the vehicle maintenance system comprises a parts rack for placing spare parts and a tool rack for placing maintenance tools; the spare parts are used to replace faulty parts in a faulty vehicle; The quick matching method of spare parts and maintenance tools includes the following steps: S1. Before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, obtain the vehicle model and all faulty parts of the faulty vehicle; S2. Determine all spare parts dedicated to the faulty vehicle based on the faulty parts; S3. Determine all repair tools specific to the faulty vehicle based on the vehicle model; S4. After all spare parts are placed in the designated positions of the parts rack and all maintenance tools are placed in the tool rack, when the spare parts are taken, the maintenance personnel are prompted to select the designated maintenance tools as special tools for use.

[0033] In this embodiment, first, before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, the system will obtain the vehicle model and all faulty parts information of the faulty vehicle. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as docking with the vehicle manufacturer's database, remote scanning using professional vehicle diagnostic equipment, or guiding users to provide accurate information through trained customer service personnel. Preferably, the user uses the AI ​​diagnostic model through a mobile terminal to determine the faulty parts in a question-and-answer interactive manner, and then sends the question-and-answer results and the vehicle model of the faulty vehicle to the server. Since the vehicle model and faulty parts can be known before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, the repair shop can fully prepare the deployment of the parts rack and tool rack in advance. Therefore, after the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, on the one hand, the faulty vehicle can be repaired immediately. On the other hand, the arrangement of dedicated maintenance stations can reduce the situation where maintenance personnel misuse non-dedicated spare parts and maintenance tools, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly find the required spare parts and maintenance tools, and ensure that the faulty vehicle is properly repaired.

[0034] Next, the system will determine all spare parts specific to the faulty vehicle based on the acquired faulty parts information. This step may involve querying the parts database, comparing part numbers, etc. At the same time, the system will also determine the required repair tools based on the vehicle model, taking into account the special requirements of different models, such as some models may require special tools.

[0035] The system then guides the worker to place all spare parts in the designated locations on the parts rack and all repair tools on the tool rack. This can be done through electronic display guidance or the use of augmented reality technology to improve accuracy and efficiency.

[0036] Finally, when maintenance work begins, whenever a spare part is taken, the system will prompt the maintenance worker to select a designated maintenance tool as a special tool. This function can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as installing sensors on the parts rack and tool rack to detect the use of the parts rack, or using computer vision technology to identify the maintenance worker's operation.

[0037] The implementation of this method may involve the coordinated work of multiple modules. For example, a obtaining module may be set up to obtain vehicle information and fault information, a processing module may be set up to determine the required spare parts and repair tools, and a prompting module may be set up to guide the placement and use of parts and tools.

[0038] In practical applications, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and needs of different repair shops. For large repair shops, more complex parts rack and tool rack management systems may be required, and even automated equipment may be considered to assist in the storage and retrieval of parts and tools. For small repair shops, a simplified version can be used, relying mainly on a combination of the system's intelligent recommendations and manual operations.

[0039] Through this method, repair shops can improve the efficiency of preparing spare parts and repair tools. For example, in the traditional mode, it may take 1-2 hours to prepare, but with this method, it may only take 15-30 minutes to complete the preparation. At the same time, due to the system's intelligent recommendation and prompt functions, the probability of human error will also be greatly reduced, and the error rate can be reduced from 5-10% to about 1-2%.

[0040] The technical solution of this application not only improves maintenance efficiency and shortens maintenance cycles, but also reduces reliance on maintenance personnel's experience and improves the stability of maintenance quality. The application of this method will help improve the overall service level of the vehicle maintenance industry and provide users with a faster and more reliable maintenance experience.

[0041] In the specific implementation, one scenario is applied to a large auto repair chain. The repair shop is equipped with an intelligent vehicle maintenance system, including electronic parts racks and tool racks, and a central control system. When the owner of a faulty vehicle makes an appointment for repair service by phone, the customer service staff will use a special diagnostic inquiry system to guide the owner to provide the vehicle model and preliminary fault description. Based on this information, the system will generate a preliminary fault assessment report. Subsequently, the repair shop will arrange for technicians to use remote diagnostic equipment to connect to the vehicle's on-board diagnostic system (OBD) to obtain more detailed fault codes and related data.

[0042] After obtaining this information, the central control system will start the preparation process of spare parts and repair tools. The system will first query the vehicle parts database and determine all faulty parts that may need to be replaced based on the fault code and vehicle model. At the same time, the system will filter out the required special repair tools from the repair tool database based on the vehicle model and fault type. The system will send an electronic work order to the warehouse manager, listing all the spare parts and repair tools that need to be prepared. The warehouse manager takes out the corresponding parts and tools from the warehouse according to the instructions of the work order. The parts rack and tool rack are equipped with an LED indicator light system, which guides the administrator to place the parts and tools in the correct position by lighting the corresponding LED lights.

[0043] When a broken-down vehicle arrives at a repair shop, repair work can begin immediately. When a repairman takes a spare part, a sensor on the parts rack detects the action and displays the location and instructions for the special repair tool corresponding to the part on a nearby display. If the repairman mistakenly takes an irrelevant tool, the system will sound an alarm.

[0044] In another scenario, the method is applied to a repair shop that specializes in repairing high-end electric vehicles. Due to the particularity of electric vehicles, this repair shop uses more advanced remote diagnostic technology. When the owner reports a vehicle failure, the repair shop will ask the owner to connect to the vehicle's diagnostic interface through a mobile phone app. The app reads detailed information about the vehicle, including the vehicle identification number (VIN), battery management system (BMS) data, motor controller status, etc., and transmits it to the repair shop's diagnostic system in real time. The diagnostic system uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze this data and quickly locate possible faulty parts. At the same time, the system queries the maintenance history database of this model of electric vehicles, predicts accessories that may need to be replaced, and specifically marks the special insulating tools and safety equipment that need to be used.

[0045] This repair shop uses an automated warehousing system to manage spare parts and repair tools. After the system determines the required parts and tools, it automatically controls the robot to take the corresponding items from the warehouse and transport them to the designated repair station. Each station is equipped with an augmented reality (AR) device, which can provide virtual assembly guidance for the repairman and display the special tool information corresponding to each part in real time.

[0046] These examples demonstrate the flexibility and adaptability of the method. By obtaining detailed vehicle and fault information in advance, the system can accurately prepare the required accessories and tools, greatly reducing the maintenance preparation time. In the traditional maintenance mode, it may take 1-2 hours to prepare from the arrival of the vehicle to the start of maintenance, but after adopting this method, this time can be shortened to 15-30 minutes. This not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also reduces customer waiting time and improves service quality.

[0047] In addition, this method significantly reduces the reliance on the maintenance personnel's personal experience by managing accessories and tools in a systematic and intelligent way. In the traditional mode, novice maintenance personnel may need hours to familiarize themselves with and find the required accessories and tools, and are prone to errors. After adopting this method, even inexperienced maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately find the required items under the guidance of the system, reducing the probability of human error from 5-10% to about 1-2%.

[0048] Compared with existing technologies, this method has significant advantages. The existing maintenance mode is usually passive, and preparation work starts only after the vehicle arrives at the repair shop, which leads to a lot of waiting time and waste of resources. The active and pre-preparation method proposed by this method can make full use of the time before the vehicle arrives and complete most of the preparation work in advance. This method not only improves the efficiency of time utilization, but also better allocates human resources and avoids congestion during peak maintenance periods.

[0049] In addition, in the prior art, the management of accessories and tools is often separated, which easily leads to the problem of mismatch between accessories and tools. This method innovatively associates spare parts with maintenance tools, and ensures that each accessory can be used with the correct special tool through an intelligent prompt system. This association management method significantly reduces maintenance errors caused by incorrect tool selection and improves maintenance quality and safety.

[0050] In general, the proposed method for quick matching of spare parts and maintenance tools realizes the pre-positioning and optimization of maintenance preparation work through information and intelligent means, effectively solves the problems of long preparation time, low efficiency and easy errors in the existing maintenance mode, and provides a new technical path for improving vehicle maintenance efficiency and quality.

[0051] In some embodiments, all spare parts are placed in designated locations of the parts rack according to the following steps: A1. Determine the relative positions of all faulty parts based on the exploded view of the parts of the faulty vehicle; A2. Generate a position map for the parts rack based on the relative positions of all faulty parts; the position map marks the designated position of each faulty part on the parts rack; A3. Send the location map to the maintenance personnel so that the maintenance personnel can place all spare parts at the designated positions of the parts rack according to the location map.

[0052] This method of the present embodiment keeps the arrangement of spare parts on the parts rack consistent with the relative position of the parts in the actual vehicle, which helps the maintenance personnel to quickly locate the required parts. By means of the location map, the maintenance personnel are intuitively guided to place the parts, reducing the possibility of wrong placement. The standardized placement method is conducive to the handover and collaboration between different maintenance personnel, improves the management efficiency of spare parts, and saves maintenance time.

[0053] During the implementation of this application, the exploded view of the parts of the faulty vehicle can be obtained in a variety of ways. For example, it can be downloaded from the technical database of the vehicle manufacturer, or obtained through professional vehicle maintenance software. The exploded view of the parts is usually presented in the form of a three-dimensional model or a two-dimensional image, which clearly shows the relative position and connection relationship of the various parts of the vehicle.

[0054] When determining the relative position of a faulty part, image recognition technology can be used to automatically extract the position information in the exploded view of the part. Alternatively, professional technicians can manually mark the position coordinates of each faulty part. This position information can be represented by three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) or two-dimensional coordinates (x, y), depending on the type of exploded view of the part.

[0055] In the process of generating the location map, an algorithm can be used to map the relative position of the faulty parts to the actual space of the parts rack. This mapping process needs to take into account the physical size and structural characteristics of the parts rack. For example, if the parts rack has multiple levels, the algorithm can decide which level to place the parts based on the size and weight of the parts. Another example is that the spare parts installed first are placed below or above the spare parts installed later. Another example is that the spare parts installed in the lower part of the car body are placed below the spare parts installed in the upper part of the car body.

[0056] Location maps can take many forms, such as color-coded maps, digitally coded maps, or AR (augmented reality) guide maps. In color-coded maps, different colors can represent different types of parts or systems. Digitally coded maps can assign a unique number to each part and mark the corresponding location on the map. AR guide maps can provide real-time visual guidance to maintenance personnel through mobile devices.

[0057] Sending the location map to the maintenance personnel can be achieved in many ways, such as mobile app push, email or printed paper version. Considering the particularity of the maintenance environment, a waterproof and dustproof tablet computer may be an ideal map display device.

[0058] The technical solution of the present application has a positive synergistic effect with the aforementioned quick matching method for spare parts and repair tools. By determining the required spare parts before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop and placing them in order according to the location map, the time for the repairman to find and prepare the parts is greatly reduced. This not only improves the overall repair efficiency, but also reduces the risk of errors caused by confusion of parts.

[0059] In specific implementation, suppose a car of a certain brand needs to be repaired due to engine failure. The maintenance system first obtains the exploded view of the engine parts of the model. Through image analysis, the system identifies the faulty parts that need to be replaced, such as a certain model of piston, connecting rod and bearing. The system then generates a digital location map, marking the positions of these parts on the parts rack as A1 (top left), B3 (middle of the middle layer) and C2 (bottom right).

[0060] The maintenance technician receives this location map via a tablet computer. When the spare parts arrive, the maintenance technician places the new piston at position A1, the connecting rod at position B3, and the bearing at position C2 according to the instructions on the map. This precise placement not only keeps the parts in order, but also reflects their relative position relationship in the engine. When starting maintenance, the maintenance technician can easily find each required part according to the disassembly order, which significantly improves work efficiency.

[0061] Compared with the traditional parts management method, the traditional method usually randomly stores the parts by type or arrival order, and the maintenance personnel need to spend a lot of time looking for the required parts among many parts. However, this application creatively transforms the vehicle structure information into a guide for the storage of parts by combining the exploded view of the parts and the location map, making the storage and retrieval of the parts efficient and orderly. This method is not only suitable for routine maintenance, but is also particularly effective when dealing with complex faults, because it can help maintenance personnel better understand the relationship between parts, so as to diagnose and solve problems more accurately.

[0062] In certain embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 , the specific steps in step S4 include: S41. Determine the maintenance tools required for disassembly of each faulty part and use them as special tools corresponding to each faulty part; S42. Associating the special tools corresponding to each faulty part with the corresponding spare parts; S43. The currently used spare part is taken as the target part, and when a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target part is used, a prompt is issued to the maintenance personnel.

[0063] During the repair process, there are many repair tools dedicated to faulty vehicles, but repairing faulty parts often only requires some of the repair tools. In actual repair, different faulty parts may use different repair tools. If the repair tools are used incorrectly, on the one hand, the repairman has to put the repair tools back to their original places and then reselect new repair tools, resulting in a waste of time. On the other hand, it can avoid damage to the vehicle structure. For example, the repairman mistakenly uses a screwdriver that does not match the specifications of the screws on the accessory, thereby damaging the groove structure of the screw head, which in turn causes the accessory to be unstable or unable to be removed.

[0064] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment, determining the maintenance tools required for disassembling the faulty parts as special tools can be achieved in a variety of ways. For example, a corresponding relationship between the faulty parts and the special tools can be established based on the vehicle maintenance manual or maintenance experience database. Another way is to use a machine learning algorithm to analyze a large amount of historical maintenance data and automatically identify the most commonly used maintenance tools for each faulty part.

[0065] Electronic tag technology can be used to associate special tools with corresponding spare parts. Each spare part can be attached with an RFID tag, which stores the special tool information corresponding to the part. When the spare part is taken, the RFID reader can quickly identify the part and obtain its special tool information.

[0066] Monitoring the spare parts and repair tools that are taken can be achieved through a variety of sensor technologies. For example, weight sensors can be installed on the parts rack and tool rack to monitor the weight changes at each location in real time to determine which parts and tools are taken. Another way is to use computer vision technology to monitor the parts rack and tool rack in real time through cameras to identify the items that are taken.

[0067] When it is detected that a non-special tool is being used, the system can prompt the maintenance worker in a variety of ways. For example, a display screen can be installed near the workbench to display real-time information about the special tools that should be used. The correct tool selection suggestions can also be broadcast to the maintenance worker through a voice prompt system. More advanced implementations may include the use of augmented reality (AR) technology to intuitively identify the correct special tools through AR glasses worn by the maintenance worker.

[0068] There is a close relationship and interaction between these features. The steps of determining special tools and associating them with spare parts provide the necessary data basis for subsequent monitoring and prompting. Monitoring the parts and tools taken is the key to achieving timely prompting. This association enables the entire system to guide maintenance personnel to use the right tools in real time and accurately.

[0069] The technical solution of the present application can significantly improve maintenance efficiency and accuracy in practical applications. For example, in a specific embodiment, a certain auto repair shop adopted this method of quick matching of spare parts and repair tools. The system determined the most suitable special tool for each common faulty part by analyzing the shop's maintenance data over the past year. Within three months after the implementation of this method, the shop's average maintenance time was reduced by 15%, and the rework rate caused by the use of incorrect tools was reduced by 30%.

[0070] Specifically, when a faulty vehicle arrives at a repair shop, the system first determines the spare parts that need to be replaced based on the vehicle model and fault information. Then, the system automatically generates a list of these spare parts and their corresponding special tools. The maintenance worker takes items from the parts rack and tool rack according to the list. During a maintenance process of replacing an engine belt, when the maintenance worker mistakenly took an inappropriate wrench, the system immediately issued a warning through the display screen on the workbench and prompted that a special belt tensioner should be used. This timely reminder avoided possible damage and saved about 20 minutes of potential rework time.

[0071] It should be noted that when there are multiple faulty parts on a faulty vehicle, each time the maintenance worker takes a spare part, the system will determine the corresponding special tool based on the currently taken spare part. Therefore, when multiple spare parts are installed in sequence, the determination of whether the currently taken maintenance tool is a special tool is dynamically changed. For example, the faulty vehicle includes faulty parts A and faulty parts B. When faulty part A is replaced with spare part a, the special tools are a1, a2 and a3, and when faulty part B is replaced with spare part b, the special tools are b1, b2 and b3. If the maintenance worker takes maintenance tool b1 in the process of replacing faulty part A with spare part a, it will be judged as the mistake of taking maintenance tools other than special tools, and will be prompted by the system.

[0072] Compared with the existing technology, the traditional maintenance method mainly relies on the maintenance worker's experience and memory, which is prone to tool selection errors or omissions. However, this application manages the relationship between special tools and spare parts in a systematic and intelligent way, greatly reducing the possibility of human error. At the same time, the real-time monitoring and prompt functions can give corrective suggestions as soon as the error occurs, which is difficult to achieve with traditional methods. This method of proactive prevention and timely correction not only improves the quality of maintenance, but also effectively shortens maintenance time and improves customer satisfaction.

[0073] In some embodiments, the specific steps in step S41 include: S411. Based on the vehicle model, determine the must-remove parts corresponding to each faulty part according to each faulty part, the must-remove parts including the corresponding faulty part and the parts that have a unique removal order with the corresponding faulty part and must be removed before removing the corresponding faulty part; S412. The maintenance tools required for disassembling necessary accessories are used as special tools for the corresponding faulty accessories.

[0074] In this embodiment, the necessary parts corresponding to each faulty part are first determined based on the vehicle model. The necessary parts include not only the faulty part itself, but also other parts that must be removed first during the disassembly process. This takes into account that when repairing a faulty part, it is necessary to remove the necessary parts first. Therefore, although the maintenance tools required to remove the necessary parts are not suitable for the faulty part, they are still special tools for removing the faulty parts during the entire maintenance process. Therefore, the maintenance tools required to remove all necessary parts are regarded as special tools for the faulty part. The range of special tools determined in this way is more comprehensive and can cover the tools required for the entire disassembly process.

[0075] In practical applications, there are many ways to determine the parts that must be removed. One method is to use the three-dimensional model of the vehicle and the disassembly path planning algorithm to determine the parts that must be removed by simulating the disassembly process. Another method is to establish a database of dependencies between parts and determine the parts that must be removed by querying the database. For example, for an engine failure part, the parts that must be removed may include the engine hood, radiator, intake pipe, etc.

[0076] When determining specialized tools, an intelligent recommendation system can be used. The system can recommend the most suitable repair tool for each required component based on historical repair data, component characteristics, and tool functions. For example, for certain precision electronic components, the system may recommend specific anti-static tools.

[0077] The technical solution of the present application takes into account the necessary parts to be removed, ensuring that maintenance personnel can prepare all the tools that may be needed when starting maintenance, avoiding interruptions due to lack of tools during the maintenance process, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. At the same time, since the tool selection is more accurate and comprehensive, the risk of additional damage caused by using improper tools is also reduced. In addition, this method also indirectly reflects the consideration of the structural differences between different vehicle models, because the determination of the necessary parts to be removed is based on the specific vehicle model. This makes the method more adaptable and accurate, and can provide more accurate tool selection recommendations for different vehicle models.

[0078] In practical applications, the technical solution of the present application can be integrated into a vehicle maintenance management system. When the system receives a maintenance request, it first calls the must-remove parts identification module based on the vehicle model and faulty parts information. This module may use a pre-established parts dependency database or a three-dimensional model analysis tool to determine the must-remove parts. Then, the system will select suitable maintenance tools from the tool database based on the identified must-remove parts. This process may involve tool suitability scoring and conflict detection to ensure that the selected tool set is optimal. Finally, the system will generate a detailed tool list, including a description of the purpose of each tool, to guide maintenance personnel in their preparations.

[0079] Compared with traditional methods, traditional methods usually only consider the faulty parts themselves, ignoring other related parts that may be encountered during the actual disassembly process. This may lead to the discovery of the lack of necessary tools during the maintenance process, and the maintenance has to be interrupted to find or purchase tools, which greatly reduces the maintenance efficiency. The method of the present application can more comprehensively predict the tools that may be needed during the maintenance process by considering the necessary parts to be removed, thereby avoiding this situation. In addition, the method of the present application also takes into account the differences in vehicle models, which makes tool selection more accurate, avoids the possible misuse of tools between different models, and further improves the accuracy and safety of maintenance.

[0080] In certain embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The specific steps in step S43 include: S431. Obtaining a first image of the tool shelf at a previous moment and a second image at a current moment; S432. Determine the currently used maintenance tool according to the first image and the second image and use the currently used maintenance tool as the target tool; S433. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target accessory. If the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target accessory, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel, and when the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within the specified time, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel's superior.

[0081] This embodiment uses image comparison technology to achieve real-time monitoring of the use of maintenance tools, and combines the preset information of special tools to provide timely reminders when tools are used improperly. This not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also reduces the risk of loss caused by using the wrong tools. At the same time, the hierarchical reminder mechanism also helps to discover and solve problems in a timely manner, ensuring the quality of maintenance. This solution innovatively applies image recognition technology to maintenance tool management, realizes intelligent and precise tool use monitoring, and has significant technological advancement.

[0082] In a specific implementation, obtaining the first image of the tool rack at a previous moment and the second image at the current moment can be achieved in a variety of ways. For example, a high-resolution camera can be installed on the tool rack to take images of the tool rack regularly (e.g., every 5 seconds). Alternatively, a depth camera can be used to not only capture two-dimensional images, but also obtain three-dimensional information of the tool to improve recognition accuracy.

[0083] Image processing and machine learning algorithms can be used to determine the currently used maintenance tool based on the first image and the second image. For example, a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be used to compare the two images to identify the missing tool. Traditional image processing methods, such as edge detection and shape matching, can also be used to find the difference between the two images.

[0084] Determining whether the target tool is a special tool corresponding to the target accessory can be achieved through a pre-established database. The database stores the mapping relationship between each accessory and its corresponding special tool. When it is detected that the tool is taken, the system will query the database to determine whether the tool is a special tool for the accessory currently being repaired.

[0085] The prompt mechanism can be multi-level and multi-format. For maintenance personnel, the prompt can be achieved through LED indicators on the tool rack, nearby display screens, or messages sent to maintenance personnel's handheld devices. For superiors, the prompt can be implemented through push notifications or SMS reminders from the management system.

[0086] The specified time can be flexibly set according to the usage characteristics of different tools. For example, for commonly used simple tools, it can be set to 5 minutes; for complex special tools, it can be extended to 15 minutes or longer. This time can be configured and adjusted in the system.

[0087] This solution combined with the previous solution can not only accurately configure the required tools before maintenance, but also monitor the use of tools in real time during maintenance. This combination can provide comprehensive tool management throughout the maintenance process, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance.

[0088] In practical applications, this solution can effectively solve the problem of improper use of maintenance tools. For example, during a car engine maintenance, the system detected that the maintenance worker used a non-special wrench. The system immediately reminded the maintenance worker of using the wrong tool through the red LED light on the tool rack and the maintenance worker's mobile phone app push. The maintenance worker immediately replaced the correct special wrench, avoiding possible damage to the engine.

[0089] In addition, this solution can help repair shop managers to identify and resolve potential problems in a timely manner. For example, if a repairman frequently uses the wrong tools or does not return tools for a long time, the system will alert the manager, who can intervene in time to provide necessary training or guidance, thereby improving the overall repair quality.

[0090] Compared with the traditional maintenance tool management method, which mainly relies on the maintenance personnel's experience and consciousness, it is easy to use the tool incorrectly or lose it. This solution greatly reduces the possibility of human error through intelligent image recognition and real-time monitoring. At the same time, the hierarchical reminder mechanism of this solution is also better than the simple tool management system, which can solve problems more timely and targeted, and improve maintenance efficiency and quality.

[0091] In certain embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The specific steps in step S433 include: S4331. When the maintenance personnel report that a new faulty part has appeared, the new faulty part will be used as a supplementary part; S4332. Determine the maintenance tools required for disassembly of the supplementary parts and use them as special tools corresponding to the supplementary parts; S4333. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary accessory. If the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary accessory, a prompt is issued to the maintenance personnel. When the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within the specified time, a prompt is issued to the maintenance personnel's superior.

[0092] This embodiment uses new faulty parts as supplementary parts to update fault information in a timely manner, providing a basis for subsequent tool selection. Determine special tools for newly added faulty parts to ensure the accuracy of maintenance work. By comparing the tools taken with special tools, the accuracy of tool use can be monitored. When using non-special tools, the maintenance personnel are reminded in time to avoid incorrect operations. If the maintenance personnel fails to correct the error for a long time, notify the superior to intervene to further ensure the quality of maintenance. These technical features work together to form a maintenance tool management system that is dynamically updated and monitored in real time.

[0093] In actual applications, when a maintenance worker finds a new faulty part, he can feed the information back to the system in a variety of ways. For example, the maintenance worker can use a handheld terminal device to scan the identification code of the new faulty part, or orally tell the information of the new faulty part through a voice recognition system. After receiving this information, the system will immediately add the new faulty part to the supplementary parts list.

[0094] The system can use a variety of methods to determine the repair tools required for supplementary parts removal. One method is to quickly retrieve the corresponding special tools from a pre-established database based on the vehicle model and the type of supplementary parts. Another method is to use machine learning algorithms to predict the most likely repair tools based on historical maintenance data. The system can also combine these two methods to improve the accuracy of tool selection.

[0095] When determining whether the target tool is the special tool corresponding to the supplementary accessory, the system can use a variety of identification technologies. For example, an RFID tag can be installed on the tool, and the use of the tool can be tracked in real time through an RFID reader. Another method is to use computer vision technology to identify the tool being taken through a camera on the tool rack. The application of these technologies enables the system to accurately determine whether the maintenance worker has used the correct special tool.

[0096] When the system detects that a maintenance worker has used a non-specialized tool, it can issue a prompt in a variety of ways. For example, a warning message can be displayed on a display near the tool rack, or a vibration reminder can be sent through a smart device (such as a smart watch) worn by the maintenance worker. These prompt methods can be adjusted according to the noise level and light conditions of the maintenance environment to ensure that the maintenance worker can pay attention to the prompt information in time.

[0097] If the maintenance worker fails to put the non-special tools back to the tool rack within the specified time (e.g. 5 minutes), the system will automatically send a reminder to the maintenance worker's superior. This reminder can be achieved by sending a text message, email, or popping up a warning window in the management system. After receiving the reminder, the superior can intervene in time to guide the maintenance worker to use the correct tools or solve possible problems.

[0098] This dynamic update and multi-level monitoring mechanism makes the maintenance process more flexible and efficient. For example, during a car engine maintenance, the maintenance worker originally planned to replace the spark plug, but found that the intake manifold gasket also needed to be replaced during the disassembly process. The maintenance worker scanned the barcode of the intake manifold gasket through the handheld terminal, and the system immediately added it as a supplementary accessory and identified the special wrench required to disassemble the intake manifold as a special tool. When the maintenance worker tried to use a regular wrench instead of the special wrench, the system immediately issued a warning. This not only prevented damage that could be caused by using the wrong tool, but also saved the maintenance worker time searching for the right tool.

[0099] Compared with the traditional static maintenance process, the technical solution of the present application has significant advantages. Under the traditional method, when unexpected faulty parts appear, maintenance personnel often need to interrupt their work and spend a lot of time looking for suitable tools and maintenance methods. The dynamic update mechanism of the present application can adapt to changes in the maintenance process in real time, greatly reducing the time of maintenance interruptions. At the same time, the real-time monitoring and prompt functions effectively reduce the risk of human error and improve the stability of maintenance quality. In addition, the graded prompt mechanism can not only correct errors in a timely manner, but also provide an effective feedback mechanism for the long-term skill improvement of the maintenance team.

[0100] In this way, this application not only solves the problem of handling newly added faulty parts during the maintenance process, but also significantly improves maintenance efficiency and accuracy. The system's real-time response capability and intelligent management make the maintenance process smoother and reduce unnecessary delays and errors. This is of great significance for improving customer satisfaction and reducing maintenance costs, and also provides new ideas and directions for the intelligent upgrade of the maintenance industry.

[0101] In certain embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , each maintenance tool is provided with a bar mark on its surface, and the bar marks of any two maintenance tools are different in color or number; The specific steps in step S432 include: S4321. Extracting bar-shaped identifications of all maintenance tools from the first image and making a first identification map; S4322. Extract all the bar logos of the maintenance tools from the second image and make a second logo map; S4323. Compare the first identification map and the second identification map, and take the maintenance tool corresponding to the missing bar identification as the target tool.

[0102] This embodiment achieves accurate identification of the taken tool by setting a unique bar mark on the surface of the maintenance tool and using image recognition technology. Specifically: the setting of the bar mark makes each tool have a unique visual feature, which is convenient for image recognition. By comparing the tool rack images at two moments before and after, the taken tool can be quickly located. By comparing the recognition result with the preset special tool, it can be timely determined whether the correct tool is used. This method avoids the tediousness and errors of manual recording and improves the accuracy and efficiency of tool use. At the same time, the automated monitoring and prompting functions also help to standardize the maintenance process and improve the maintenance quality. In addition, the complex image is simplified into an identification map with only the bar mark after being processed by the existing image processing technology. Compared with identifying various maintenance tools in a complex image, it is obviously more convenient to identify the bar marks of various maintenance tools in the identification map, and the design requirements for the image recognition algorithm are also lower, which is conducive to reducing the complexity of the calculation process, thereby improving the image processing efficiency and recognition speed.

[0103] In the present application, each maintenance tool is provided with a stripe mark on its surface, and the stripe marks of any two maintenance tools are different in color or quantity. The stripe mark can be implemented in a variety of forms, such as color stripes, black and white stripes, dot matrix, etc. The color can use 256×256×256 color combinations in the RGB color space, and the number can range from 1 to 10. This design ensures that each tool has a unique visual feature, which facilitates the image recognition system to quickly and accurately distinguish different tools.

[0104] In practical applications, a high-definition camera can be used to monitor the tool rack in real time. The camera resolution can be selected to be 1920×1080 or higher to ensure that a clear bar logo image is captured. The system will periodically (for example, every 5 seconds) capture images of the tool rack and perform image processing.

[0105] The image processing process includes the following steps: First, extract the bar marks of all maintenance tools from the first image and make a first mark map. This step can use an edge detection algorithm (such as the Canny algorithm) to identify the outline of the bar mark, and then apply a color segmentation algorithm to extract the color information of the bar mark. Secondly, extract the bar marks of all maintenance tools from the second image in the same way and make a second mark map. Finally, compare the first mark map with the second mark map, and take the maintenance tool corresponding to the missing bar mark as the target tool. This step can be achieved through simple matrix operations, which greatly improves the processing speed.

[0106] This method combined with the tool usage monitoring system in the above-mentioned embodiment can achieve more accurate tool usage management. When the system detects that a tool has been taken away, it will immediately compare this information with the maintenance task currently in progress. If the tool taken away is not the special tool required for the task, the system will immediately issue a prompt to the maintenance worker to avoid incorrect operation. This real-time monitoring and prompting mechanism significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the maintenance process.

[0107] In a specific example, suppose a repair shop has 100 different repair tools, each with a unique stripe logo on the surface. These logos use different combinations of three basic colors (red, green, and blue), and each logo contains 1-5 colored stripes. For example, a wrench may have a three-color logo of "red-green-blue", while a screwdriver may have a five-color logo of "red-red-green-blue-blue".

[0108] A 4K ultra-high-definition camera (resolution of 3840×2160) is installed on the tool rack, which captures an image of the tool rack every 3 seconds. The image processing system uses the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm for real-time object detection and can complete the processing of an image in 0.1 seconds. The system first detects all the bar logos in the image and then converts these logos into digital codes (for example, "red-green-blue" can be encoded as "123"). By comparing the code lists at two moments, the system can immediately find out which tool has been taken away or put back.

[0109] When the maintenance worker starts to repair the faulty parts, the system will determine the corresponding special tool based on the use of spare parts. Every time the maintenance worker takes a tool, the system will immediately check whether the tool belongs to the special tool of the spare part. If not, the system will warn the maintenance worker through the workstation display and voice prompts. This quick response ensures that the maintenance worker can correct the error before actually using the tool, greatly reducing the loss and delay caused by using the wrong tool.

[0110] Compared with traditional manual recording or simple toolbox sensing systems, the method of the present application has significant advantages. First, it realizes fully automated tool identification and monitoring, without the need for maintenance personnel to manually scan or register tools, greatly improving work efficiency. Second, the image recognition-based method is more accurate than a simple sensing system and can accurately identify each specific tool, rather than just detecting the presence or absence of the tool. Third, the system can monitor the use of tools in real time and intelligently match them with maintenance tasks. This proactive error prevention mechanism significantly improves maintenance quality and safety. Finally, by simplifying complex images into bar identification maps, the method greatly reduces the computational complexity, allowing the system to achieve real-time processing on ordinary hardware, with high cost-effectiveness and applicability.

[0111] In general, the method proposed in this application realizes intelligent management of the use of maintenance tools by innovatively combining bar identification technology and image recognition technology. It not only solves the problem of how to accurately and quickly identify the maintenance tools being taken, but also provides real-time guidance and supervision for the entire maintenance process. This method significantly improves maintenance efficiency and quality, reduces human errors, and provides new technical support for the intelligence and standardization of the vehicle maintenance industry.
