[0002] External piping design is a crucial component of aero-engine design, significantly impacting overall engine performance and operational efficiency. However, aero-engine external piping design is a highly complex, multidisciplinary problem involving knowledge from multiple fields.

[0003] Traditional pipeline design methods often rely on the experience of designers and manual calculations, resulting in long design cycles and high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a piping design method, device, computer equipment, storage medium, and program product that can automatically design the external piping of aero-engines to improve the design cycle and reduce costs, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] Firstly, this application provides a piping design method. The method includes:

[0007] Obtain the path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each input external pipeline; the candidate path is the path between one node and the next node of the external pipeline.

[0008] For each external pipeline, the target path between the start and end points of the external pipeline is determined in the search space based on the path parameters of each candidate path of the external pipeline.

[0009] The target path of each external pipeline is determined as the pipeline design scheme for the engine to be designed.

[0010] In one embodiment, determining the target path between the start and end points of the external pipeline based on the path parameters of each of the candidate paths of the external pipeline includes:

[0011] Identify at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed in the external pipeline; the node to be processed is any node between the start and end points of the pipeline, excluding the end point.

[0012] Based on the path parameters of the candidate path corresponding to the candidate node, determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed from each candidate node, and use the candidate path corresponding to the target node as the intermediate path;

[0013] The target node is taken as the node to be processed, and the process returns to the step of determining at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed of the external pipeline, so as to determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed, until the target node is the endpoint, and the target path is determined according to each intermediate path.

[0014] In one embodiment, determining the target node corresponding to the node to be processed from among the candidate nodes based on the path parameters of the candidate paths corresponding to the candidate nodes includes:

[0015] Based on the weights of the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to the candidate node and the path parameters of each candidate path, determine the weighted summation result corresponding to the candidate node;

[0016] The target node is determined from the candidate nodes based on the weighted summation results of each candidate node.

[0017] In one embodiment, determining the target node from the candidate nodes based on the weighted summation result corresponding to each candidate node includes:

[0019] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0020] If the first target node corresponding to the first node to be processed is the same as the second target node corresponding to the second node to be processed, then the first priority of the first external pipeline and the second priority of the second external pipeline are compared. The first node to be processed is the node to be processed of the first external pipeline, and the second node to be processed is the node to be processed of the second external pipeline.

[0021] If the first priority is higher than the second priority, then the target node corresponding to the second node to be processed is determined from the other candidate nodes; the other candidate nodes include the candidate nodes other than the second target node among the candidate nodes corresponding to the second node to be processed.

[0022] In one embodiment, the path parameters of the candidate path include at least one of the following: path length and maximum corner angle of the candidate path, degree of fit between the candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and distance between the candidate path and other external pipelines. The other external pipelines include external pipelines other than the external pipeline corresponding to the candidate path.

[0023] Secondly, this application also provides a pipeline design device. The device includes:

[0024] The processing module is used to mesh the 3D model of the engine to be designed, so as to obtain the search space of the external pipeline of the engine to be designed.

[0025] The acquisition module is used to acquire the path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each external pipeline; the candidate path is the path between one node and the next node of the external pipeline.

[0026] The first determining module is used to determine, within the search space, the target path between the start and end points of each external pipeline based on the path parameters of each candidate path of the external pipeline.

[0027] The second determining module is used to determine the target path of each external pipeline as the pipeline design scheme for the engine to be designed.

[0028] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, the processor executing the computer program to implement the steps of any of the above methods.

[0029] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above methods.

[0030] Fifthly, this application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above methods.

[0031] The aforementioned piping design method, apparatus, computer equipment, storage medium, and program product, by meshing the 3D model of the engine to be designed, obtains the search space for the external piping of the engine. It acquires the path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each input external piping. Then, for each external piping, within the search space, it determines the target path between the start and end points of the external piping based on the path parameters of each candidate path. The target paths of each external piping are then used as the piping design scheme for the engine to be designed. This enables the automatic generation of external piping design schemes for aero-engines that meet design requirements, improving design efficiency, saving design costs, and also enhancing the accuracy and reliability of external piping design.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] External piping design is a crucial component of aero-engine design, significantly impacting overall engine performance and operational efficiency. However, aero-engine external piping design is a highly complex, multidisciplinary problem involving knowledge from multiple fields.

[0041] Traditional pipeline design methods often rely on the experience of designers and manual calculations, resulting in long design cycles and high costs.

[0042] The pipeline design method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 The application environment shown. Figure 1 This is an internal structure diagram of a computer device provided in an embodiment of this application. The computer device may be a server, and its internal structure diagram may be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the computer device includes a processor, memory, and a network interface connected via a system bus. The processor provides computing and control capabilities. The memory includes non-volatile storage media and internal memory. The non-volatile storage media stores the operating system, computer programs, and databases. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer programs stored in the non-volatile storage media. The network interface is used to communicate with external terminals via a network connection. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements a pipeline design method.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown is merely a block diagram of a portion of the structure related to the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the computer device to which the present application is applied. Specific computer devices may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a pipeline design method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to... Figure 1 The method, using a computer device, includes the following steps:

[0045] S201, the three-dimensional model of the engine to be designed is meshed to obtain the search space of the external pipeline of the engine to be designed.

[0046] Optionally, a three-dimensional model of the engine to be designed, input by the user, can be obtained, and then the surface of the three-dimensional model can be meshed to obtain a search space for planning external pipelines.

[0047] S202, obtain the path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each input external pipeline.

[0048] Among them, the candidate path is the path between one node and the next node of the external pipeline.

[0049] In one embodiment, the user-inputted start point, end point, and path parameters of the candidate path between the start and end points of the external pipeline can be obtained. The path parameters of the candidate path may include, for example, the pipeline diameter, maximum bend angle, and priority of the candidate path.

[0050] For example, the start and end points of the external pipeline Pipe1, as well as the pipe diameter (Diameter), maximum bend angle (MaxAngle), and priority (Priority) of the candidate path, input by the user, can be described in the form of a script, as shown below:

[0051] Pipe 1:

[0052] Start: (x1, y1, z1)

[0053] End: (x2, y2, z2)

[0054] Diameter: d1

[0055] MaxAngle: a1

[0056] Priority: p1

[0057] S203, for each external pipeline, in the search space, determine the target path between the start and end points of the external pipeline based on the path parameters of each candidate path of the external pipeline.

[0058] In one embodiment, for each external pipeline, the target path between the start and end points of each pipeline can be determined based on the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to each external pipeline.

[0059] For example, the target path between the start and end points of an external pipeline can be determined as follows: A "seed" can be created at the start point of the external pipeline, which is then used as the node to be processed. At least one candidate node can be identified as the next node after the node to be processed. Then, based on the A* algorithm and a vine growth strategy, the next node after the start point (i.e., the target node corresponding to the node to be processed) is determined from the candidate nodes according to the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to each candidate node. The candidate path corresponding to the target node is then used as an intermediate path. Afterward, the next node after the start point (i.e., the target node corresponding to the node to be processed) can be used again as the node to be processed. Then, based on the A* algorithm and the vine growth strategy, a new target node corresponding to the node to be processed is determined. This process is repeated until the target node corresponding to the latest node to be processed is the end point. The target path is then determined based on each intermediate path.

[0060] Among them, the candidate path is the path formed between the node to be processed and the candidate node. The path parameters of the candidate path are at least one of the following: path length and maximum turning angle of the candidate path, degree of contact between the candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and distance between the candidate path and other external pipelines.

[0061] S204 determines the target path of each external pipeline as the pipeline design scheme for the engine to be designed.

[0062] In one embodiment, when all external pipelines reach their destination, i.e. when all external pipelines have determined their target paths, the path coordinates of each target path can be determined, and a pipeline design scheme for the engine to be designed can be generated based on the path coordinates.

[0063] In this embodiment, by meshing the 3D model of the engine to be designed, a search space for the external piping of the engine to be designed is obtained. Path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each external piping are obtained. Then, for each external piping, the target path between the start and end points of the external piping is determined in the search space based on the path parameters of each candidate path. The target paths of each external piping are determined as the piping design scheme for the engine to be designed. This enables the automatic generation of external piping design schemes for aero-engines that meet design requirements, improving design efficiency, saving design costs, and also improving the accuracy and reliability of external piping design.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a target path determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation of how to determine the target path between the start and end points of an external pipeline based on the path parameters of each candidate path. Based on the above embodiment, S203 includes the following steps:

[0065] S301, determine at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed in the external pipeline.

[0066] The node to be processed is any node between the start and end points of the pipeline, excluding the end point.

[0067] For example, the starting point can be determined as the first node to be processed, and then at least one candidate node can be determined as the next node of the node to be processed.

[0068] For example, if node A is determined to be the node to be processed, then nodes B, C, D, and E, which are adjacent to node A, can be determined as candidate nodes corresponding to node A.

[0069] S302, based on the path parameters of the candidate path corresponding to the candidate node, determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed from each candidate node, and use the candidate path corresponding to the target node as the intermediate path.

[0070] Optionally, based on the A* algorithm and vine growth strategy, the target node corresponding to the node to be processed can be determined from each candidate node according to the path parameters of the candidate path corresponding to the candidate node, and the candidate path corresponding to the target node can be used as the intermediate path.

[0071] In one embodiment, the starting point of the external pipeline can be used as the "seed" for vine growth. The growth direction of the vine is determined sequentially from the starting point towards the ending point. Specifically, determining the growth direction of the node to be processed is equivalent to determining the target node corresponding to that node. The above-mentioned method of determining the target node corresponding to the node to be processed from among the candidate nodes based on the path parameters of the candidate paths corresponding to the candidate nodes can be implemented, for example, as follows: Based on the weights of the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to the candidate node, and the path parameters of each candidate path, a weighted summation result corresponding to the candidate node is determined. Then, based on the weighted summation result corresponding to each candidate node, the target node is determined from among the candidate nodes.

[0072] Among them, the candidate path is the path formed between the node to be processed and the candidate node. The path parameters of the candidate path are at least one of the following: path length and maximum turning angle of the candidate path, degree of contact between the candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and distance between the candidate path and other external pipelines.

[0073] For example, the path between node A and candidate node B is candidate path one, the path between node A and candidate node C is candidate path two, the path between node A and candidate node D is candidate path three, and the path between node A and candidate node E is candidate path four. Then, based on the weights of the path parameters of candidate path one, the first weighted summation result corresponding to candidate node B is determined; based on the weights of the path parameters of candidate path two, the second weighted summation result corresponding to candidate node C is determined; based on the weights of the path parameters of candidate path three, the third weighted summation result corresponding to candidate node D is determined; and based on the weights of the path parameters of candidate path four, the fourth weighted summation result corresponding to candidate node E is determined. Then, based on the first, second, third, and fourth weighted summation results, the target node is determined from the candidate nodes.

[0074] S303, take the target node as the node to be processed, and return to the step of determining at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed of the external pipeline, so as to determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed, until the target node is the endpoint, and determine the target path according to each intermediate path.

[0075] In one embodiment, it can be determined whether the target node is the end point of the external pipeline. If the target node is not the end point of the external pipeline, the target node can be used as a new node to be processed. Then, the steps S301-S302 above are returned to determine the target node corresponding to the new node to be processed, until the target node is the end point. Then, the intermediate paths are combined to obtain the target path.

[0076] In this embodiment, at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed in the external pipeline is determined. Based on the path parameters of the candidate paths corresponding to the candidate nodes, the target node corresponding to the node to be processed is determined from each candidate node. The candidate paths corresponding to the target nodes are used as intermediate paths, and the target node is used as the node to be processed. The process is then repeated to determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed, until the target node is the endpoint. The target path is determined based on each intermediate path. This allows for the automatic determination of the target path based on the path parameters of the candidate paths corresponding to the candidate nodes, using the A* algorithm and vine growth strategy. This results in a design scheme for the external pipeline of the aero-engine that meets the design requirements, improving design efficiency, saving design costs, and enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the external pipeline design.

[0077] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a target node determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. This embodiment relates to a possible implementation of how to determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed from among the candidate nodes based on the path parameters of the candidate paths corresponding to the candidate nodes. Based on the above embodiment, S302 includes the following steps:

[0078] S401, based on the weights of the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to the candidate node and the path parameters of each candidate path, determine the weighted summation result corresponding to the candidate node.

[0079] Optionally, the path parameters of the candidate path may include, for example, the path length and maximum corner angle of the candidate path, the degree of contact between the candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and the distance between the candidate path and other external pipelines.

[0080] For example, for the first candidate path between node A to be processed and node B to be selected, the weight of each path parameter can be determined according to the importance of each path parameter of the first candidate path. Then, the weight of each path parameter of the first candidate path, the path length and maximum turning angle of the first candidate path, the degree of contact between the first candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and the distance between the first candidate path and other external pipelines are used to determine the weighted summation result corresponding to node B to be selected.

[0081] S402, determine the target node from the candidate nodes based on the weighted summation result of each candidate node.

[0082] Optionally, the candidate node corresponding to the minimum weighted sum can be determined as the target node. Alternatively, a preset threshold can be set to determine the candidate nodes corresponding to weighted sums less than the preset threshold as the target nodes.

[0083] In this embodiment, the weighted summation result corresponding to each candidate node is determined based on the weight of the path parameters of each candidate path and the path parameters of each candidate path. Based on the weighted summation result corresponding to each candidate node, the target node is determined from each candidate node. This enables automatic determination of the target path and obtains a design scheme for the external pipeline of the aero-engine that meets the design requirements, thereby improving design efficiency, saving design costs, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the external pipeline design.

[0084] Based on the above embodiments, S402 can be implemented in the following way:

[0085] The candidate node corresponding to the minimum weighted summation result is determined as the target node.

[0086] For example, the weighted summation results corresponding to each candidate node can be sorted, and then the candidate node corresponding to the smallest weighted summation result can be determined as the target node.

[0087] In this embodiment, the candidate node corresponding to the minimum weighted summation result is determined as the target node, thereby enabling automatic determination of the target path and obtaining a design scheme for the external pipeline of the aero-engine that meets the design requirements. This improves design efficiency, saves design costs, and also enhances the accuracy and reliability of the external pipeline design.

[0088] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another target node determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. Based on the above embodiment, the method further includes the following steps:

[0089] S501, if the first target node corresponding to the first node to be processed is the same as the second target node corresponding to the second node to be processed, then compare the first priority of the first external pipeline and the second priority of the second external pipeline.

[0090] The first node to be processed is the node to be processed of the first external pipeline, and the second node to be processed is the node to be processed of the second external pipeline.

[0091] In this embodiment of the application, after the target node is determined in each round, collision detection is required. If the first target node corresponding to the first node to be processed is the same as the second target node corresponding to the second node to be processed, it means that the two different external pipelines collided during the path selection process. At this time, the first priority of the first external pipeline and the second priority of the second external pipeline can be compared.

[0092] S502, if the first priority is higher than the second priority, then the target node corresponding to the second node to be processed is determined from the other candidate nodes.

[0093] Among them, the other candidate nodes include the candidate nodes other than the second target node in the candidate nodes corresponding to the second node to be processed.

[0094] In one embodiment, if the first priority is higher than the second priority, it means that the priority of the first external pipeline is higher than the priority of the second external pipeline. The second external pipeline triggers the detour mechanism, that is, based on the above steps S301-S303, the target node corresponding to the second node to be processed is re-determined from the other candidate nodes besides the second target node corresponding to the second node to be processed.

[0095] In this embodiment, if the first target node corresponding to the first node to be processed is the same as the second target node corresponding to the second node to be processed, then the first priority of the first external pipeline and the second priority of the second external pipeline are compared. If the first priority is higher than the second priority, then the target node corresponding to the second node to be processed is determined from other candidate nodes. This allows the lower-priority external pipeline to actively detour when a collision is detected, avoiding conflicts between pipelines and further improving the safety and reliability of the external pipeline design. Simultaneously, it avoids rework due to collision issues after the design is completed, improving the efficiency of the external pipeline design.

[0096] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an automated design method for external piping of an aero-engine, as provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps:

[0097] S601, the three-dimensional model of the engine to be designed is meshed to obtain the search space of the external pipeline of the engine to be designed.

[0098] S602, obtain the path parameters of the candidate paths between the start and end points of each input external pipeline.

[0099] S603, determine at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed in the external pipeline.

[0100] S604. Based on the weights of the path parameters of each candidate path corresponding to the candidate node and the path parameters of each candidate path, determine the weighted summation result corresponding to the candidate node.

[0101] S605, determine the candidate node corresponding to the minimum weighted summation result as the target node.

[0102] S606, take the target node as the node to be processed, and return to the step of determining at least one candidate node corresponding to the node to be processed of the external pipeline, so as to determine the target node corresponding to the node to be processed, until the target node is the endpoint, and determine the target path according to each intermediate path.

[0119] The comparison module is used to compare the first priority of the first external pipeline and the second priority of the second external pipeline if the first target node corresponding to the first target node to be processed is the same as the second target node corresponding to the second target node to be processed. The first target node to be processed is the target node of the first external pipeline, and the second target node to be processed is the target node of the second external pipeline.

[0120] The third determining module is used to determine the target node corresponding to the second node to be processed from the other candidate nodes if the first priority is higher than the second priority; the other candidate nodes include the candidate nodes other than the second target node among the candidate nodes corresponding to the second node to be processed.

[0121] In one embodiment, the path parameters of the candidate path include at least one of the following: path length and maximum corner angle of the candidate path, degree of fit between the candidate path and the surface of the engine to be designed, and distance between the candidate path and other external pipelines. Other external pipelines include external pipelines other than the external pipeline corresponding to the candidate path.

[0122] Each module in the aforementioned pipeline design device can be implemented entirely or partially through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in a computer device, or stored in the memory of a computer device as software, so that the processor can call and execute the corresponding operations of each module.
