[0035] In order to realize the collaborative design of ship cables between different platforms, this embodiment provides a cable collaborative design method and system. The cable collaborative design method includes: by dividing the whole ship area, the whole ship is divided into several areas, and different areas can be designed at the same time on different platforms. However, the cable has integrity, and a single cable can span multiple areas, so it is necessary to create a regional connection relationship tree to express the connectivity relationship between areas. At the same time, a regional penetration point is set between two connected areas. Based on the area to which the cable starting and ending devices belong and the regional connection relationship tree, the area through which the cable passes can be calculated, and then the cable information can be split by area based on the regional penetration point. The split cable information is migrated to another design platform, and based on the imported cable information, the cable length and path are extracted after the cable design is performed. Finally, the cable data of the production design containing the cable length and cable path information is migrated back to the original design platform for merging, so as to realize the one-way transmission of the cable data and ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data, thereby realizing cable collaborative design.

[0036] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] This embodiment provides a cable collaborative design method, referring to Figure 1 , the cable collaborative design method includes:

[0039] S1: Divide the entire ship into several cable design partitions based on the area division of the entire ship, and obtain the design data information required for the cables in each cable design partition corresponding to the partition;

[0040] Specifically, a ship is provided, the entire ship of which can be divided into a number of cable design partitions according to different functional modules or regional construction modules, and each cable design partition is assigned a cable design partition code. When performing cable design partitions, since a single cable can span multiple cable design partitions, a cable design partition relationship tree can be obtained based on the direction of the cables of the entire ship combined with the cable design partition code. Regional penetration points are set at the cable paths between the cable design partitions, and each regional penetration point is identified by a unified naming rule, such as "A-K1" represents the first penetration point of area A.

[0041] The design data information required for the cable includes cable information. The cable information includes cable code, cable model specification, cable start equipment code, start area, end equipment code, and end area information. At the same time, the designer needs to specify the area penetration point for the cable that crosses multiple cable design partitions.

[0042] According to the starting area and the ending area of ​​the cable combined with the cable design partition relationship tree, the design data information required for the cable is automatically divided into the cable design partitions of the path, so that each cable design partition has the design data information required for the cables in the partition. Therefore, the design data of the cable can be split and merged through the cable design partition relationship tree and the starting area and the ending area of ​​each cable, so as to realize the one-way transmission of the cable data, ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data, and realize the collaborative design of the cable. Among them, the regional penetration point can be defined as a virtual power distribution device, so that the cable can be split into several sections.

[0043] S2: Exporting the design data information required for the cables corresponding to each cable design partition to another design platform one by one;

[0044] Specifically, after the cable design is partitioned, the cable information is filtered according to the cable design partitions. The design data information required for the cable of another design platform is exported in a fixed file format. Optionally, the design data information required for the cable includes cable information, equipment information and partition information. Among them, the cable information includes the cable code, cable model specification, the cable's starting equipment code, starting area, ending equipment code, ending area, and path nodes including area penetration points. The equipment information includes the equipment code, equipment name, area to which the equipment belongs, and equipment location. The partition information includes the area code, serial number, starting equipment code, ending equipment code, and path nodes within the area for each area through which the cable passes after partitioning.

[0045] S3: Designing cables in the cable design partition based on the design data information required for the cables in the cable design partition, and obtaining cable production design data in each cable design partition;

[0046] Specifically, since the principle cable data is constantly updated during the design process, and the designs of different platforms are carried out synchronously, the data needs to be constantly updated and iterated, so the imported information needs to be compared, and the updated information is different for different situations.

[0047] Since the cable code is unique, data comparison is performed based on the cable code. The specific comparison rules are as follows: when the imported information with the same cable code is only modified in terms of cable model specifications, only the modified information is updated, and other information remains unchanged. When any of the information of the starting device code, starting area, ending device code, ending area, and penetration point in the path node in the imported information with the same cable code changes, all information associated with the cable code is refreshed.

[0048] The cable design is performed based on the imported cable information and the production design cable data is obtained. The production design cable data includes the length of the cable and the path node information it passes through.

[0049] S4: Migrate the cable production design data in each cable design partition to the original design platform, and merge the production design cable data of the entire cable.

[0050] Specifically, filter the cable information by region and migrate the cable information back to the original platform. When the cable information is imported into the original platform, only the length of the cable and the path node information it passes through are updated, and other information remains unchanged. For bus cables that are divided into multiple cable design partitions, the lengths and path nodes of different partitions need to be accumulated. During the accumulation process, duplicates need to be removed from the path nodes, so that a complete piece of cable information can be obtained.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment provides a cable collaborative design system, which is used to execute the cable collaborative design method in the above embodiment 1. Figure 2 The cable collaborative design system includes a cable partition module, a data export module, a data import module and a cable design module. Among them, the cable partition module is used to split the entire cable into multiple cable design partitions. The data export module is used to export cable data from different platforms, different partitions and different design stages to facilitate data interaction. The data import module is used to import cable data from different platforms, different partitions and different design stages to facilitate data interaction. The cable design module is used to obtain cable production design data, and the cable production design data includes cable partitions and cable path nodes.

[0053] Optionally, the cable collaborative design system further includes a cable merging module, which is used to merge the imported cable data from different platforms, different partitions and different design stages.

[0054] In summary, the cable collaborative design method of the present invention includes splitting the entire ship into several cable design partitions based on the division of the entire ship area, and obtaining the design data information required for the cables in each cable design partition corresponding to the partition. The design data information required for the cables corresponding to each cable design partition is exported to another design platform one by one. The cable of the cable design partition is designed based on the design data information required for the cables in the cable design partition, and the cable production design data in the cable design partition is obtained. The cable production design data in the cable design partition is migrated to the original design platform, and the production design cable data of the entire cable is merged. Therefore, the present invention can realize the collaborative design of ship cables between different platforms, speed up the design progress, and improve the design efficiency. Further, according to the direction of the entire ship's cables, a cable design partition relationship tree is formed, and the area through which the cable passes is calculated based on the cable design partition relationship tree and the cable starting area and end area in each cable design partition, and the cable is split and merged, so as to realize the one-way transmission of cable data, ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data, and realize cable collaborative design.
