[0020] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The six-property integrated design method of a weapon station based on quantitative FMECA of the present invention includes reliability, maintainability, testability, security, safety, and environmental adaptability. The steps for implementing the above method are as follows:

[0022] Step 1, define the weapon station system, including:

[0023] ① Perform functional analysis on the weapon station. After describing the mission of the weapon station, analyze its main functions, working modes (such as continuous work, intermittent work) and working time under different mission profiles, and give full consideration to the analysis of the product interface;

[0024] ② Draw the functional block diagram and task reliability block diagram:

[0025] a) Draw a functional block diagram. A functional block diagram is a functional model used to represent the tasks or relationships between the functions of each component of the product, as well as the functional logical sequence, data (information) flow, and interface between each agreed level of the product.

[0026] b) Draw a task reliability block diagram. The reliability block diagram describes the relationship between the overall reliability of the product and the reliability of its components. It only represents the logical relationship of the impact of failures. If the product has multiple tasks or multiple working modes, corresponding task reliability block diagrams should be established separately.

[0027] Step 2, failure mode analysis, find out all possible functional or hardware failure modes from the functional description or hardware characteristics of the analyzed product and the requirements of the failure criteria. The main contents are:

[0028] ① Failure mode analysis of different FMECA methods:

[0029] a) When performing functional FMECA, determine all possible functional failure modes based on the functional description and failure criteria in step 1, and then analyze each functional failure mode.

[0030] b) When performing hardware FMECA, determine all possible hardware failure modes based on the hardware characteristics of the product in step 1, and then analyze each hardware failure mode.

[0031] ② Method of obtaining failure mode:

[0032] a) For existing products, the failure modes that occurred in the past use of the product are used as the basis, and then the failure modes of the product are obtained by analysis and correction according to the similarities and differences in the environmental conditions of the product.

[0033] b) For new products, the functional principles and structural characteristics of the new products can be used for analysis and prediction to obtain the failure mode of the product, or the failure mode of the product can be analyzed and determined based on the failure mode of products with similar functions and structures.

[0034] c) For imported shelf products, we should ask the foreign merchants for their failure modes, or analyze and determine their failure modes based on the failure modes that occur in products with similar functions and similar structures.

[0035] d) When the methods in b) and c) cannot obtain the failure mode, the possible failure mode of the analyzed product can be determined by referring to the typical failure modes in the relevant standards.

[0036] Step 3, failure cause analysis, analyze all possible causes of each failure mode, including:

[0037] ① Direct causes of product design defects, manufacturing defects, etc. that lead to product functional failure or potential failure.

[0038] ② Indirect causes of product failure caused by external factors (such as failure of other products, test equipment, usage, environment and human factors, etc.).

[0039] Step 4, failure impact and severity analysis, find out the impact of each possible failure mode of the product and analyze its severity. The impact of each failure mode is divided into local impact, higher-level impact and final impact. The severity category of the weapon station is divided into Class I (catastrophic), Class II (fatal), Class III (moderate) and Class IV (mild).

[0040] Step 5, fault detection method. The main contents of the fault detection method generally include: visual inspection, on-site detection, off-site detection, etc. Its means include built-in test (BIT), automatic sensing device, sensing instrument, sound alarm device, display alarm device and telemetry, etc.

[0041] Step 6, design improvement and use of compensation measures analysis, including:

[0042] ① Design improvement measures: When a product fails, consider whether there are redundant devices that can continue to work; safety or insurance devices (such as monitoring and alarm devices); alternative working methods (such as backup or auxiliary equipment); design improvements that can eliminate or reduce the impact of the failure (such as preferred components, thermal design, derating design, etc.).

[0043] ② Use compensatory measures: In order to avoid or prevent the occurrence of failures as much as possible, the use and maintenance measures specified in the use and maintenance regulations, once a failure occurs, the operator should take the most appropriate remedial measures, etc.

[0044] Step 7, criticality analysis, classifies the severity of each failure mode of the product and the comprehensive impact of its probability of occurrence, so as to comprehensively evaluate the impact of all possible failure modes in the product. Common methods include:

[0045] ① The risk priority number method is to prioritize the RPN value of each failure mode of the product and take appropriate measures to make the RPN value reach the minimum acceptable level.

[0046] ② Criticality matrix analysis method, which compares the criticality of each product and its failure mode, and provides a basis for determining the order of product improvement measures, including:

[0047] a) When product failure data is not available, select the qualitative criticality matrix analysis method.

[0048] b) When more accurate product failure data is available, the quantitative criticality matrix analysis method is selected.

[0049] Steps 8 to 10 fall under the category of reliability design.

[0050] Step 8, determine the list of reliability-critical products. Based on the RPN value or hazard matrix determined in step 7, determine that the products with an RPN value greater than a certain specified value or falling within a certain specified area in the hazard matrix are reliability-critical products. Develop a list of reliability-critical products and control them during design, production, and use.

[0051] Step 9, determine the list of serious failure modes. Based on the list of key reliability products determined in step 8 and combined with the failure modes of severity I and II determined in step 4, determine the list of serious failure modes, list them separately and control them.

[0052] Step 10, determine the list of single-point failure modes. According to the failure mode with failure impact probability β=1 determined in step 7, determine the list of single-point failure modes and indicate the severity of the failure impact. Failure modes that are both in the serious failure list and in the single-point failure list should be especially controlled.

[0053] Steps 11 to 13 fall under the category of maintainability design.

[0054] Step 11. Using the failure mode list determined in step 2 as the basic input, conduct maintainability design for the weapon station from the aspects of reducing maintenance downtime, reducing maintenance costs, reducing maintenance complexity, reducing maintenance personnel requirements, and reducing maintenance errors. The main design criteria include quick and easy detection and diagnosis, accessibility design, error prevention and labeling, and maintenance safety.

[0055] Step 12, arrange a maintenance plan, according to the cause of the fault determined in step 3, the severity category determined in step 4, the fault detection method determined in step 5, and taking into account the maintenance cost and maintenance time. For the faults with high severity level determined in step 4 but no detection method, arrange some regular inspections.

[0056] Step 13, arrange the maintainability verification test. If the failures occurring during the test cannot meet the failure sample size requirement for the test, perform failure simulation and sampling test according to the severity and probability of each failure determined by the hazard analysis in step 7.

[0057] Step 14 falls under the category of safeguard design.

[0058] Step 14, reasonably arrange spare parts and maintenance personnel. According to the fault detection method determined in step 5 and the use compensation measures determined in step 6, scientifically and reasonably arrange the spare parts required for equipment maintenance, and determine whether it will be implemented by operators or maintenance personnel.

[0059] Step 15 falls under the category of testability design.

[0060] Step 15: Arrange testability design and other tasks reasonably based on the product failure rate and the fault detection method determined in step 5.

[0061] Step 16-Step 17 belongs to the category of security design.

[0062] Step 16, based on the failure modes determined in step 2, group the failure modes according to their impact on specific-level products, so as to check whether the fault tree analysis (FTA) covers various failure modes.

[0063] Step 17, review the failure mode determined in step 2 from a safety perspective, and avoid undetectable failures as much as possible during product design in accordance with safety regulations or safety design requirements of specific equipment.

[0064] Step 18 falls under the category of environmental adaptability design.

[0065] Step 18, based on the failure mode determined in step 2 and the corresponding failure detection method determined in step 5, the functional performance and working status of the test product of the environmental adaptability test are detected or monitored, and the completeness of such detection or monitoring is evaluated.
