Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle maintenance, in particular to a spare part and a method for quickly matching a maintenance tool and related equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Different types of vehicles use different spare parts and maintenance tools, and in order to cover a larger service range, maintenance shops generally purchase different spare parts and maintenance tools for various vehicle types. However, in the current maintenance mode, the maintenance personnel only start to find the spare parts and maintenance tools specially used for the fault vehicle among a large number of spare parts and maintenance tools after the fault vehicle reaches the maintenance shop. This maintenance mode obviously depends on the rich experience of the maintenance personnel. For maintenance personnel with insufficient experience, a large amount of time will be spent on finding spare parts and maintenance tools, which undoubtedly reduces the maintenance efficiency and prolongs the maintenance cycle.

[0003] At present, there is no effective technical solution to the above problems. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a spare part and a method for quickly matching a maintenance tool and related equipment, which solves the problem that maintenance personnel with insufficient experience waste a lot of time in finding spare parts and maintenance tools, and achieves the effect of improving maintenance efficiency and shortening the maintenance cycle.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for quickly matching a spare part and a maintenance tool, which is applied to a vehicle maintenance system, the vehicle maintenance system comprising a spare part rack for placing spare parts and a tool rack for placing maintenance tools; the spare parts are used to replace fault parts in a fault vehicle; the method for quickly matching a spare part and a maintenance tool comprises the following steps:

[0033] Further, the surface of each of the repair tools is provided with a bar code, and the bar codes of any two of the repair tools are different in color or number.

[0034] The specific steps in step S432 include:

[0035] S4321. Extracting the bar codes of all the repair tools from the first image and making a first bar code map;

[0055] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0056] It should be noted that: similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0057] According to the current maintenance mode, 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 position. Then, they must search for matching spare parts in a huge parts library, which may involve consulting multiple catalogs, comparing part numbers, and even repeated confirmation to avoid selecting errors. At the same time, for different fault types and vehicle models, the maintenance personnel also need to select appropriate maintenance tools from the tool library. This selection process is also complex, because some special vehicle models may require the use of special tools. The entire preparation process may take several hours, greatly extending the maintenance cycle.

[0058] 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, reducing the service capacity of the repair shop and customer satisfaction. The high dependence on experience increases the risk of human error, such as selecting incompatible parts or inappropriate tools, which can lead to a decline in maintenance quality and even cause secondary damage. In addition, this inefficient work mode also increases maintenance costs, as repair shops need to invest more human resources to manage and retrieve a large number of parts and tools.

[0059] For this purpose, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 1The application provides a spare part and maintenance tool quick matching method, which is applied to a vehicle maintenance system, and the vehicle maintenance system comprises a spare part rack for placing spare parts and a tool rack for placing maintenance tools; the spare parts are used to replace fault parts in a fault vehicle;

[0060] The spare part and maintenance tool quick matching method comprises the following steps:

[0061] S1. Before the fault vehicle reaches the maintenance shop, the vehicle model and all fault parts of the fault vehicle are obtained;

[0062] S2. All spare parts special for the fault vehicle are determined according to the fault parts;

[0063] S3. All maintenance tools special for the fault vehicle are determined according to the vehicle model;

[0064] S4. After all the spare parts are placed in the designated positions of the spare part rack and all the 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.

[0065] In this embodiment, first, before the fault vehicle reaches the maintenance shop, the system obtains the vehicle model and all fault part information of the fault vehicle. This can be achieved in various ways, such as interfacing with the vehicle manufacturer's database, using professional vehicle diagnostic equipment for remote scanning, or guiding the user to provide accurate information through trained customer service personnel. Preferably, the user uses an AI diagnostic model through a mobile terminal to determine the fault parts in a question-and-answer interactive manner, and then sends the question-and-answer results and the vehicle model of the fault vehicle to the server. Since the vehicle model and fault parts can be known before the fault vehicle reaches the maintenance shop, the maintenance shop can fully prepare the deployment of the spare part rack and the tool rack in advance, so that after the fault vehicle reaches the maintenance shop, on the one hand, the maintenance of the fault vehicle can be started immediately, and on the other hand, the arrangement of the special maintenance workbench can reduce the misuse of non-special spare parts and maintenance tools by the maintenance personnel, which not only facilitates the maintenance personnel to quickly find the required spare parts and maintenance tools, but also ensures the proper maintenance of the fault vehicle.

[0066] Next, the system will determine all spare parts special for the fault vehicle according to the obtained fault part information. This step may involve querying the spare part database, comparing part numbers, and other operations. At the same time, the system will also determine the required maintenance tools according to the vehicle model, taking into account the special requirements of different vehicle models, such as the need for special tools for some vehicle models.

[0067] Then, the system will guide the staff to place all the spare parts in the designated positions of the spare part rack and place all the maintenance tools on the tool rack. Electronic display screens can be used for guidance or augmented reality technology can be used to improve accuracy and efficiency.

[0068] Finally, when the repair work begins, the system will prompt the repairer to select the designated repair tool as a special tool for use whenever a spare part is taken. This function can be achieved in various ways, such as installing sensors on the spare parts rack and tool rack to detect the taking situation, or using computer vision technology to identify the repairer's operation.

[0069] The implementation of this method may involve the cooperation of multiple modules. For example, an acquisition module can be set up to acquire vehicle information and fault information, a processing module can be used to determine the required spare parts and repair tools, and a prompting module can be used to guide the placement and use of spare parts and tools.

[0070] In practical applications, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and needs of different repair shops. For large repair shops, more complex spare parts rack and tool rack management systems may be needed, and even automated equipment can be considered to assist in the access of spare parts and tools. For small repair shops, a simplified version can be used, mainly relying on the combination of intelligent recommendations of the system and manual operation.

[0071] Through this method, the repair shop can improve the preparation efficiency of spare parts and repair tools. For example, in the traditional mode, it may take 1-2 hours to prepare, but after using this method, it may only take 15-30 minutes to complete the preparation work. At the same time, due to the intelligent recommendation and prompting function of the system, the probability of human error will be greatly reduced, and the error rate can be reduced from 5-10% to about 1-2%.

[0072] The technical solution of the present application not only improves the repair efficiency and shortens the repair cycle, but also reduces the dependence on the experience of repair personnel and improves the stability of repair quality. The application of this method will help to improve the overall service level of the vehicle repair industry and provide users with faster and more reliable repair experience.

[0073] In specific implementation, one scenario is applied to a large automobile repair chain store. The repair shop is equipped with an intelligent vehicle repair system, including electronic spare parts rack and tool rack, and central control system. When a car owner of a faulty vehicle makes a reservation for repair service through the phone, the customer service personnel will use a special diagnostic inquiry system to guide the car owner to provide the vehicle model and preliminary fault description. Based on this information, the system will generate a preliminary fault assessment report. Then, the repair shop will arrange technical personnel to use remote diagnostic equipment to connect with the vehicle's on-board diagnostic system (OBD) to obtain more detailed fault codes and related data.

[0074] Upon obtaining this information, the central control system initiates the preparation process for the spare parts and repair tools. The system first queries the vehicle parts database to determine all the faulty parts that may need to be replaced based on the fault code and vehicle model. Simultaneously, the system filters the required specialized repair tools from the repair tool database based on the vehicle model and fault type. The system sends an electronic work order to the warehouse administrator listing all the spare parts and repair tools that need to be prepared. The warehouse administrator retrieves the corresponding parts and tools from the warehouse according to the instructions in the work order. Both the parts rack and tool rack are equipped with an LED indicator system that guides the administrator to place the parts and tools in the correct locations by illuminating the corresponding LED lights.

[0075] When the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, the repair work can immediately begin. As the repair technician retrieves the spare parts, the sensors on the parts rack detect the retrieval action and display the location and usage instructions for the specialized repair tools corresponding to that part on the nearby display screen. If the technician mistakenly retrieves an unrelated tool, the system will issue an alert.

[0076] In another scenario, the method is applied to a repair shop that specializes in high-end electric vehicles. Due to the unique nature of electric vehicles, this repair shop employs more advanced remote diagnostic technology. When the vehicle owner reports a vehicle fault, the repair shop requests the owner to connect the vehicle's diagnostic interface through a mobile app. The app reads the vehicle's detailed information, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Battery Management System (BMS) data, motor controller status, and transmits it in real-time to the repair shop's diagnostic system. The diagnostic system uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze these data and quickly locate the possible faulty components. At the same time, the system queries the repair history database of the electric vehicle model to predict the parts that may need to be replaced, and specially marks the specialized insulation tools and safety equipment that need to be used.

[0077] This repair shop uses an automated warehouse system to manage spare parts and repair tools. After determining the required parts and tools, the system automatically controls robots to retrieve the corresponding items from the warehouse and deliver them to designated repair stations. Each station is equipped with augmented reality (AR) equipment that provides virtual assembly guidance for the repair technician and displays real-time information about the specialized tools corresponding to each part.

[0078] 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 parts and tools, greatly reducing the repair preparation time. In the traditional repair mode, from the vehicle arriving to the start of repair, it may take 1-2 hours of preparation time, while using this method, this time can be shortened to 15-30 minutes. This not only improves repair efficiency, but also reduces customer waiting time and improves service quality.

[0079] Furthermore, this method manages parts and tools in a systematic and intelligent way, significantly reducing reliance on the personal experience of repair personnel. In the traditional model, novice repairmen may need several hours to familiarize themselves with and locate the required parts and tools, and are prone to errors. With this method, even inexperienced repairmen can quickly and accurately find the necessary items under the system's guidance, reducing the probability of human error from 5-10% to approximately 1-2%.

[0080] Compared to existing technologies, this method offers significant advantages. Current repair models are typically reactive, with preparation only commencing after the vehicle arrives at the repair shop, leading to substantial waiting times and wasted resources. In contrast, this proposed proactive, pre-preparation approach fully utilizes the time before vehicle arrival, completing most of the preparatory work in advance. This method not only improves time efficiency but also allows for better allocation of human resources, avoiding congestion during peak repair periods.

[0081] Furthermore, existing technologies often manage spare parts and tools separately, which can easily lead to incompatibility issues. This method innovatively associates spare parts with repair tools, using an intelligent prompting system to ensure that each part is used with the correct dedicated tool. This associated management method significantly reduces repair errors caused by incorrect tool selection, improving repair quality and safety.

[0082] In summary, the proposed method for quickly matching spare parts and repair tools, through information technology and intelligent means, enables the pre-emptive and optimized preparation work for repairs, effectively solving problems such as long preparation time, low efficiency, and susceptibility to errors in the existing repair model, and providing a new technical path for improving vehicle repair efficiency and quality.

[0083] In some embodiments, all spare parts are placed in designated locations on the parts rack according to the following steps:

[0084] A1. Determine the relative positions of all faulty parts based on the exploded view of the faulty vehicle's parts;

[0085] A2. Generate a location map for the parts rack based on the relative positions of all faulty parts; the location map marks the specified position of each faulty part on the parts rack;

[0086] A3. Send the location map to the repairman so that the repairman can place all spare parts in the designated location on the parts rack according to the location map.

[0087] The method of the embodiment maintains the arrangement of spare parts on the parts rack consistent with the relative positions of the parts in the actual vehicle, helping the maintenance personnel quickly locate the required parts. Through the position map, the maintenance personnel is intuitively guided to place the parts, reducing the possibility of incorrect placement. The standardized placement method facilitates handover and cooperation between different maintenance personnel, improves the management efficiency of spare parts, and saves maintenance time.

[0088] In the implementation of the present application, the parts explosion diagram of the faulty vehicle can be obtained in various ways. For example, it can be downloaded from the technical database of the vehicle manufacturer, or it can be obtained through professional vehicle maintenance software. The parts explosion diagram is usually presented in the form of a three-dimensional model or a two-dimensional image, clearly showing the relative positions and connection relationships of various components of the vehicle.

[0089] In determining the relative positions of the faulty parts, image recognition technology can be used to automatically extract the position information in the parts explosion diagram. Alternatively, a professional technician can manually mark the position coordinates of each faulty part. These position information can be represented by three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) or two-dimensional coordinates (x, y), depending on the type of parts explosion diagram.

[0090] In generating the position map, an algorithm can be used to map the relative positions of the faulty parts to the actual space of the parts rack. This mapping process needs to take into account the physical dimensions and structural characteristics of the parts rack. For example, if the parts rack has multiple levels, the algorithm can determine where to place the parts according to their size and weight. For example, the spare parts installed first are placed below or above the spare parts installed later. For example, the spare parts installed in the lower half of the vehicle body are placed below the spare parts installed in the upper half of the vehicle body.

[0091] The position map can take various forms, such as a color-coded map, a numerically coded map, or an AR (Augmented Reality) guide map. In the color-coded map, different colors can represent different types of parts or systems. The numerically coded map assigns a unique number to each part and indicates the corresponding position on the map. The AR guide map can provide real-time visual guidance to the maintenance personnel through a mobile device.

[0092] Sending the position map to the maintenance personnel can be achieved in various ways, such as mobile app push, email sending, or printing a paper version. Considering the special nature of the maintenance environment, a waterproof and dustproof tablet computer may be an ideal map display device.

[0093] The technical solution of the present application has a positive cooperative effect with the previously mentioned backup spare parts and repair tool quick matching method. By determining the required backup spare parts before the faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop and orderly placing them according to the position map, the time for repairers to find and prepare spare parts is greatly reduced. This not only improves the overall repair efficiency, but also reduces the risk of errors caused by disordered spare parts.

[0094] In a specific implementation, assume that a certain brand of sedan needs to be repaired due to engine failure. The repair system first obtains the engine spare parts exploded view of this vehicle model. Through image analysis, the system identifies the faulty spare parts that need to be replaced, such as a certain model of piston, connecting rod, and bearing. The system then generates a digitized position map, marking the positions of these spare parts on the spare parts rack as A1 (top left), B3 (middle center), and C2 (bottom right).

[0095] The repairer receives this position map through the tablet computer. When the backup spare parts arrive, the repairer places the new piston at position A1, the connecting rod at position B3, and the bearing at position C2 according to the map. This precise placement not only makes the spare parts orderly, but also reflects their relative positional relationship in the engine. When the repair starts, the repairer can easily find each required spare part in the order of disassembly, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0096] Compared with the traditional spare parts management method, which usually randomly stores spare parts by type or arrival order, repairers need to spend a lot of time searching for the required parts among numerous spare parts. However, the present application creatively converts vehicle structure information into spare parts storage guidance through the combination of spare parts exploded view and position map, making the storage and retrieval of spare parts efficient and orderly. This method is not only suitable for regular maintenance, but is especially effective when dealing with complex failures, as it helps repairers better understand the relationship between spare parts, thereby more accurately diagnosing and solving problems.

[0097] In some embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 and the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The specific steps in step S4 include:

[0098] S41. Determine the repair tools required for disassembly of each faulty spare part and use them as the corresponding special tools for each faulty spare part;

[0099] S42. Associate the special tools corresponding to each faulty spare part to the corresponding backup spare parts;

[0100] S43. Take the currently used backup spare part as the target spare part, and issue a prompt to the repairer when a repair tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target spare part is taken.

[0101] During the repair process, there are many repair tools dedicated to the fault vehicle, but only part of the repair tools are needed for the repair of the fault accessories. During actual repair, different repair tools may be used for different fault accessories. If the repair tools are used incorrectly, on the one hand, the repairman needs to put the repair tools back to the original place and then select new repair tools, which causes time waste. On the other hand, it can avoid damage to the structure of the vehicle, for example, the repairman incorrectly uses a screwdriver that does not match the screw specifications on the accessory, which damages the slot structure of the screw head, and then causes the accessory to be unstable or unable to be disassembled.

[0102] In the specific implementation process of the embodiment, the repair tools needed for disassembling the fault accessory as special tools can be implemented in various ways. For example, a corresponding relationship between the fault accessory and the special tool can be established based on a vehicle repair manual or a repair experience database. Another way is to analyze a large amount of historical repair data by using a machine learning algorithm to automatically identify the most commonly used repair tools for each fault accessory.

[0103] The special tool can be associated with the corresponding spare accessory by using an electronic tag technology. Each spare accessory can be attached with an RFID tag, and the tag stores the special tool information corresponding to the accessory. When the spare accessory is taken, the RFID reader can quickly identify the accessory and obtain the special tool information thereof.

[0104] The monitoring of the taken spare accessory and the repair tool can be implemented by using various sensor technologies. For example, a weight sensor can be installed on the accessory rack and the tool rack to monitor the weight change of each position in real time, so as to determine which accessories and tools are taken. Another way is to use a computer vision technology to monitor the accessory rack and the tool rack in real time through a camera to identify the taken items.

[0105] When it is detected that a non-special tool is taken, the system can prompt the repairman in various ways. For example, a display screen can be installed near the workbench to display the special tool information that should be used in real time. A voice prompt system can also be used to broadcast the correct tool selection suggestion to the repairman. A more advanced implementation way can include using augmented reality (AR) technology to visually identify the correct special tool through the AR glasses worn by the repairman.

[0106] There is a close relationship and interaction among these features. The steps of determining the special tool and associating it with the spare accessory provide a necessary data basis for subsequent monitoring and prompting. The monitoring of the taken accessory and tool is a key link to realize timely prompting. This association enables the entire system to guide the repairman to use the correct tool in real time and accurately.

[0107] The technical solution of the present application can significantly improve the maintenance efficiency and accuracy in actual application. For example, in a specific embodiment, a certain automobile repair shop adopts this method of quickly matching spare parts and maintenance tools. The system determines the most suitable special tool for each common fault part by analyzing the repair data of the shop in the past year. Within three months of implementing this method, the average repair time of the shop is reduced by 15%, and the rework rate caused by the use of incorrect tools is reduced by 30%.

[0108] Specifically, when a faulty vehicle arrives at the repair shop, the system first determines the spare parts that need to be replaced according to the vehicle model and fault information. Then, the system automatically generates a list containing these spare parts and their corresponding special tools. The repairman takes the items from the shelves according to the list. During a maintenance process of replacing the engine belt, when the repairman mistakenly takes a wrench that is not suitable, the system immediately issues a warning through the display screen on the workbench and prompts that a special belt tensioner should be used. This timely reminder avoids potential damage and saves about 20 minutes of potential rework time.

[0109] It should be noted that when a faulty vehicle has multiple faulty parts, the system determines the corresponding special tool according to the currently taken spare part each time the repairman takes a spare part, so the determination of whether the currently taken maintenance tool is a special tool is dynamically changing when multiple spare parts are installed in sequence. For example, the faulty vehicle includes fault part A and fault part B, the special tools are a1, a2 and a3 when replacing fault part A with spare part a, and the special tools are b1, b2 and b3 when replacing fault part B with spare part b. If the repairman takes maintenance tool b1 during the process of replacing fault part A with spare part a, it will be determined as taking a maintenance tool other than a special tool, and therefore will be prompted by the system.

[0110] Compared with the prior art, the traditional maintenance method mainly relies on the experience and memory of the repairman, and is prone to tool selection errors or omissions. The present application greatly reduces the possibility of human error by systematically and intelligently managing the relationship between special tools and spare parts. At the same time, real-time monitoring and prompting functions can give correction suggestions at the first time of error occurrence, which is difficult to achieve by traditional methods. This proactive prevention and timely correction method not only improves the maintenance quality, but also effectively shortens the maintenance time and improves customer satisfaction.

[0111] In some embodiments, the specific steps in step S41 include:

[0112] S411. Determine the necessary disassembly parts corresponding to each fault part according to the vehicle model, respectively, the necessary disassembly parts including the corresponding fault part and the parts that must be disassembled before the corresponding fault part and have a unique disassembly sequence with the corresponding fault part;

[0113] S412. Take the maintenance tools required for disassembling the necessary disassembly parts as the special tools of the corresponding fault part.

[0114] In this embodiment, first, the necessary disassembly parts corresponding to each fault part are determined based on the vehicle model. The necessary disassembly parts not only include the fault part itself, but also other parts that must be disassembled during the disassembly process. This takes into account that when repairing the fault part, the necessary disassembly parts must be disassembled first, so the maintenance tools required for disassembling the necessary disassembly parts, although not suitable for the fault part, still belong to the special tools for disassembling the fault part in the entire repair process, so the maintenance tools required for disassembling all necessary disassembly parts are taken as the special tools of the fault part. The range of special tools determined in this way is more comprehensive and can cover the tools required for the entire disassembly process.

[0115] In actual application, there are many methods to determine the necessary disassembly parts. One method is to use the three-dimensional model of the vehicle and the disassembly path planning algorithm to determine the necessary disassembly parts by simulating the disassembly process. Another method is to establish a dependency database between parts and determine the necessary disassembly parts by querying the database. For example, for an engine fault part, its necessary disassembly parts may include the engine cover, radiator, air intake pipe, etc.

[0116] When determining the special tools, an intelligent recommendation system can be used. This system can recommend the most suitable maintenance tools for each necessary disassembly part based on historical maintenance data, part characteristics, and tool functions. For example, for some delicate electronic parts, the system may recommend specific anti-static tools.

[0117] The technical solution of the present application ensures that the maintenance personnel can prepare all the tools that may be needed when starting the repair, avoiding the interruption of the repair process due to the lack of tools, thereby improving the repair efficiency. At the same time, since the tools are selected more accurately and comprehensively, the risk of additional damage caused by improper use of tools is also reduced. In addition, this method also indirectly reflects the consideration of the structural differences of different vehicle models, as the determination of the necessary disassembly parts 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.

[0118] 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 disassembly component identification module according to the vehicle model and fault component information. The module may use a pre-established component dependency database or a three-dimensional model analysis tool to determine the disassembly component. Then, the system will select appropriate maintenance tools from the tool database according to the identified disassembly component. 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 the purpose of each tool, to guide the maintenance personnel in preparation.

[0119] Compared with traditional methods, traditional methods usually only consider the fault component itself, ignoring other related components that may be encountered in the actual disassembly process. This may lead to the discovery of missing necessary tools during maintenance, and the need to interrupt maintenance to find or purchase tools, greatly reducing maintenance efficiency. The method of the present application can more comprehensively predict the tools that may be needed during maintenance by considering the disassembly component, thereby avoiding such situations. In addition, the method of the present application also takes into account the differences between vehicle models, which makes the tool selection more accurate and avoids the misuse of tools between different vehicle models, further improving the accuracy and safety of maintenance.

[0120] In some embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The specific steps in step S43 include:

[0121] S431. Obtain a first image at a time and a second image at a current time on the tool rack;

[0122] S432. Determine the current maintenance tool being used according to the first image and the second image and take the current maintenance tool being used as the target tool;

[0123] S433. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target component, and if the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the target component, issue a prompt to the maintenance personnel, and if the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within a specified time, issue a prompt to the superior of the maintenance personnel.

[0124] This embodiment realizes real-time monitoring of the use of maintenance tools through image comparison technology, and timely reminds when the tools are used improperly in combination with the preset information of special tools. This not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also reduces the risk of loss caused by the use of incorrect tools. At the same time, the hierarchical prompting mechanism also helps to discover and solve problems in a timely manner, ensuring the quality of maintenance. The scheme innovatively applies image recognition technology to maintenance tool management, realizing intelligent and accurate tool use monitoring, and has significant technological progress.

[0125] In specific implementations, acquiring the first image at a certain time and the second image at the current time on the tool rack can be achieved in various 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 tools, improving the accuracy of identification.

[0126] Determining the current maintenance tool being used based on the first image and the second image can use image processing and machine learning algorithms. For example, a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be used to compare the two images and identify the missing tool. Traditional image processing methods such as edge detection and shape matching can also be used to find the differences between the two images.

[0127] Determining whether the target tool is the special tool corresponding to the target accessory can be achieved through a pre-established database. This database stores the mapping relationship between each accessory and its corresponding special tool. When the tool is detected to be used, the system queries the database to determine whether the tool is the special tool for the accessory currently being repaired.

[0128] The prompting mechanism can use multiple levels and forms. For the maintenance worker, the prompt can be achieved through the LED indicator light on the tool rack, the display screen nearby, or the message sent to the maintenance worker's handheld device. For the superior, the prompt can be achieved through the push notification of the management system or the short message reminder.

[0129] The specified time can be flexibly set according to the use characteristics of different tools. For example, for commonly used simple tools, 5 minutes can be set; for complex special tools, the time can be extended to 15 minutes or more. This time can be configured and adjusted in the system.

[0130] This solution, combined with the previous solution, not only accurately configures the required tools before maintenance, but also monitors the use of tools in real time during maintenance. This combination provides comprehensive tool management throughout the maintenance process, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance.

[0131] In practical applications, this solution can effectively solve the problem of improper use of maintenance tools. For example, during an engine repair of a car, the system detects that the maintenance worker uses a non-special wrench. The system immediately reminds the maintenance worker through the red LED light on the tool rack and the App push on the maintenance worker's mobile phone that the wrong tool is used. The maintenance worker immediately replaces the correct special wrench, avoiding possible damage to the engine.

[0132] In addition, this solution can also help maintenance shop managers to discover and solve potential problems in a timely manner. For example, if a maintenance worker frequently uses the wrong tool or does not return the tool for a long time, the system will alert the manager, who can intervene in time and provide necessary training or guidance to improve the overall maintenance quality.

[0133] Compared with traditional maintenance tool management methods, which mainly rely on the experience and self-consciousness of maintenance workers, the use of tools is prone to errors or loss. However, 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 superior to simple tool management systems, which can more timely and targeted solve problems and improve maintenance efficiency and quality.

[0134] In some embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this disclosure and in which are shown by way of example or embodiment implementations. Figure 3 The specific steps in step S433 include:

[0135] S4331. When the maintenance worker feeds back the new faulty component, the new faulty component is taken as a supplementary component;

[0136] S4332. Determine the maintenance tools needed when the supplementary component is disassembled and take them as the special tools corresponding to the supplementary component;

[0137] S4333. Determine whether the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary component. If the target tool is a maintenance tool other than the special tool corresponding to the supplementary component, a prompt is sent to the maintenance worker, and when the target tool is not returned to the tool rack within a specified time, a prompt is sent to the superior of the maintenance worker.

[0138] This embodiment updates the fault information in time by taking the new faulty component as a supplementary component, providing a basis for subsequent tool selection. The special tool is determined for the newly added faulty component to ensure the accuracy of the maintenance work. By comparing the tools taken with the special tools, the accuracy of tool use can be monitored. When a non-special tool is used, the maintenance worker is reminded in time to avoid incorrect operation. If the maintenance worker does not correct the error for a long time, the superior is notified to intervene, further ensuring the maintenance quality. These technical features cooperate with each other to form a dynamic updating and real-time monitoring maintenance tool management system.

[0139] In actual application, when the maintenance worker finds a new faulty component, the information can be fed back to the system in various ways. For example, the maintenance worker can use a handheld terminal device to scan the identification code of the new faulty component, or use a voice recognition system to orally report the information of the new faulty component. After receiving this information, the system will immediately add the new faulty component to the supplementary component list.

[0140] For the repair tools required for disassembling the supplemental parts, the system can employ various methods to determine. One method is to quickly retrieve the corresponding special tools from a pre-established database according to the vehicle model and the type of supplemental parts. Another method is to use machine learning algorithms to predict the most likely required repair tools based on historical repair data. The system can also combine these two methods to improve the accuracy of tool selection.

[0141] In determining whether the target tool is the special tool corresponding to the supplemental part, the system can use various recognition technologies. For example, RFID tags can be installed on the tools to track their use in real time through RFID readers. Another method is to use computer vision technology to identify the tools taken through the camera on the tool rack. The application of these technologies enables the system to accurately determine whether the repairman has used the correct special tool.

[0142] When the system detects that the repairman has used a non-special tool, it can issue a prompt in various ways. For example, a warning message can be displayed on the display screen near the tool rack, or a vibration reminder can be sent through the smart device (such as a smart watch) worn by the repairman. These prompt methods can be adjusted according to the noise level and light conditions of the repair environment to ensure that the repairman can promptly notice the prompt information.

[0143] If the repairman does not put the non-special tool back on the tool rack within a specified time (e.g., 5 minutes), the system will automatically send a prompt to the repairman's superior. This prompt can be achieved by sending a text message, an email, or popping up a warning window in the management system. Upon receiving the prompt, the superior can intervene in time to guide the repairman to use the correct tool or solve possible problems.

[0144] This dynamic updating and multi-level monitoring mechanism makes the repair process more flexible and efficient. For example, in a car engine repair process, the repairman originally planned to replace the spark plug, but found that the intake manifold gasket also needs to be replaced during disassembly. The repairman scans the bar code of the intake manifold gasket through the handheld terminal, and the system immediately adds it as a supplemental part and determines the special wrench required for disassembling the intake manifold as a special tool. When the repairman tries to use a regular wrench instead of a special wrench, the system immediately issues a warning. This not only prevents damage that may be caused by improper use of tools, but also saves the repairman's time searching for the correct tool.

[0145] Compared with the traditional static maintenance process, the technical scheme of the application has obvious advantages. Under the traditional method, when unexpected failure parts appear, the maintenance personnel often need to interrupt the work and spend a lot of time to find the appropriate tools and maintenance methods. However, the dynamic updating mechanism of the application can adapt to the changes in the maintenance process in real time, greatly reducing the time of maintenance interruption. At the same time, the real-time monitoring and prompting function effectively reduces the risk of human error and improves the stability of maintenance quality. In addition, the hierarchical prompting mechanism not only can correct errors in time, but also provides an effective feedback mechanism for the long-term skill improvement of the maintenance team.

[0146] In this way, the application not only solves the problem of handling new failure parts in the maintenance process, but also significantly improves the maintenance efficiency and accuracy. The real-time response capability and intelligent management of the system make the maintenance process more smooth, reducing unnecessary delays and errors. This is of great significance to improve customer satisfaction and reduce maintenance cost, and also provides a new idea and direction for the intelligent upgrading of the maintenance industry.

[0147] In some embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The surface of each maintenance tool is provided with a bar-shaped mark, and the bar-shaped marks of any two maintenance tools are different in color or number;

[0148] The specific steps in step S432 include:

[0149] S4321. Extract the bar-shaped marks of all maintenance tools from the first image and make a first mark atlas;

[0150] S4322. Extract the bar-shaped marks of all maintenance tools from the second image and make a second mark atlas;

[0151] S4323. Compare the first mark atlas and the second mark atlas, and take the maintenance tool corresponding to the missing bar-shaped mark as the target tool.

[0152] The embodiment achieves accurate recognition of the taken tools by setting unique bar marks on the surface of the maintenance tools and using image recognition technology. Specifically, the setting of bar marks makes each tool have a unique visual feature, facilitating image recognition. By comparing the tool rack images at two different times, the taken tools can be quickly located. Comparing the recognition results with the preset special tools can determine whether the correct tools are used in time. This method avoids the tediousness and errors of manual recording, improves the accuracy and efficiency of tool use. At the same time, the automatic monitoring and prompting function helps to standardize the maintenance process and improve the maintenance quality. In addition, the complex image is simplified to a mark atlas with only bar marks after being processed by existing image processing technology. Compared with recognizing various maintenance tools in a complex image, it is obviously more convenient to recognize the bar marks of various maintenance tools in the mark atlas, and the design requirements of the image recognition algorithm are also lower, which is conducive to reducing the complexity of the operation process, thereby improving the image processing efficiency and recognition speed.

[0153] In this application, each maintenance tool surface is provided with a bar mark, and the bar marks of any two maintenance tools are different in color or number. The bar mark can be implemented in various forms, such as colored stripes, black and white stripes, dot matrix, etc. The color can use 256x256x256 color combinations in the RGB color space, and the number can be 1-10 or more. This design ensures that each tool has a unique visual feature, facilitating the image recognition system to quickly and accurately distinguish different tools.

[0154] In practical applications, a high-definition camera can be used to monitor the tool rack in real time. The resolution of the camera can be 1920x1080 or higher to ensure that the clear bar mark image is captured. The system will take images of the tool rack regularly (e.g., every 5 seconds) and perform image processing.

[0155] The image processing process includes the following steps: First, extract all the bar marks of the maintenance tools from the first image and make a first mark atlas. This step can use an edge detection algorithm (such as Canny algorithm) to identify the contour of the bar mark, and then apply a color segmentation algorithm to extract the color information of the bar mark. Second, extract all the bar marks of the maintenance tools from the second image in the same way and make a second mark atlas. Finally, compare the first mark atlas and the second mark atlas, and take the maintenance tool corresponding to the missing bar mark as the target tool. This step can be realized through simple matrix operation, greatly improving the processing speed.

[0156] This method, combined with the tool usage monitoring system in the previous embodiment, enables more accurate tool usage management. When the system detects that a tool has been removed, it immediately compares this information with the current maintenance task being performed. If the removed tool is not the specialized tool required for the task, the system immediately alerts the maintenance worker, preventing incorrect operation. This real-time monitoring and alert mechanism significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the maintenance process.

[0157] In one specific embodiment, assume that the repair shop has 100 different maintenance tools, and each tool has a unique bar code on its surface. These bar codes use different combinations of three basic colors (red, green, blue), and each bar code contains 1-5 colored stripes. For example, a wrench may have a three-color bar code of "red-green-blue", while a screwdriver may have a five-color bar code of "red-red-green-blue-blue".

[0158] A 4K ultra-high-definition camera (resolution 3840x2160) is installed on the tool rack, which takes 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, which can complete the processing of an image in 0.1 seconds. The system first detects all the bar codes in the image, and then converts these bar codes into digital codes (for example, "red-green-blue" can be encoded as "123"). By comparing the code lists of the previous and subsequent two time points, the system can immediately find out which tool has been removed or returned.

[0159] When the maintenance worker starts to repair the faulty component, the system will determine the corresponding specialized tool according to the usage of the spare parts. Whenever the maintenance worker uses a tool, the system will immediately check whether the tool belongs to the specialized tool for the spare part. If not, the system will issue a warning to the maintenance worker through the workstation display and voice prompt. 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 the use of the wrong tool.

[0160] Compared with traditional manual recording or simple tool box induction systems, the method of the present application has significant advantages. First, it realizes fully automated tool recognition and monitoring, without the need for maintenance workers to manually scan or register tools, greatly improving work efficiency. Second, the image recognition-based method is more accurate than a simple induction system, and can accurately identify each specific tool, rather than just detecting the presence or absence of a tool. Third, the system can monitor the usage of tools in real time and intelligently match them with maintenance tasks, significantly improving the quality and safety of maintenance. Finally, by simplifying complex images into bar code maps, the method greatly reduces computational complexity, enabling the system to achieve real-time processing on ordinary hardware, with high cost performance and applicability.

[0161] In general, the method proposed in the present application realizes the intelligent management of maintenance tool use by innovatively combining bar code identification technology and image recognition technology. It not only solves the problem of how to accurately and quickly identify the maintenance tools 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 intelligentization and standardization of the vehicle maintenance industry.
