Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a tool for automatically generating a trackside layout diagram. Background Art

[0002] In the process of building the database of subway engineering projects, the application of CAD (computer-aided design) software is crucial. It is used to carefully draw the trackside layout drawings directly related to the subway project. These drawings not only need to show the key facilities such as tracks, axle counters, turnouts, signals, beacons in detail, but also must accurately mark the customer mileage for each element. Due to the complexity of subway lines, the number of elements involved may range from dozens to hundreds, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and complexity of the drawing work.

[0003] At present, the drawing of trackside layout diagrams mainly relies on manual operation, which is not only time-consuming, but also has the risk of missing data or filling in errors due to human factors. In order to improve efficiency and accuracy, it is urgent to use automated tools to assist or replace the traditional manual drawing method.

[0004] With the advancement of technology, the development of automated trackside layout generation tools has become possible. These tools can use advanced algorithms and data processing techniques to quickly and accurately generate subway trackside layouts that contain all necessary elements and accurate customer mileage. The use of automated tools can not only significantly shorten the drawing cycle, but also greatly reduce data errors caused by human errors, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the entire subway project database preparation.

[0005] Therefore, a tool for automatically generating a trackside layout diagram is provided. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the existing defects and provide a trackside layout automatic generation tool, which realizes the function of automatically drawing a subway trackside layout based on input data in a specified format.

[0016] Different trackside element data are defined in different sheets, and the sheet name is the trackside element type name;

[0019] In the sheet for defining each type of element, you need to define the identifier used by the software for identification;

[0020] There cannot be any blank row of data before the end of the same table.

[0021] Preferably, in the configuration reading module, elements and element attributes are read through fixed sheet names and identifiers in the sheet; the configuration file is saved in txt, and different parameters are separated by titles and commas.

[0022] Preferably, in the verification module, the verification content includes:

[0023] For the sheet containing the trackside elements that must be present, check whether it exists;

[0024] Check the identifiers of data in the sheet that exist and may be used;

[0026] Whether the element mileage is within the range defined by the specified track.

[0028] Map the mileage to the X coordinate of the subway line on the drawing, manually input the Y coordinate of the horizontal track, the specific coordinates of the trackside elements, determine the Y value based on the track where the element is located, and then calculate the X coordinate value proportionally through the mileage.

[0029] Preferably, in the element other information calculation module, the additional information includes but is not limited to the element name, the module name drawn to the CAD template, the drawing rotation angle, and the mileage information of the display format.

[0030] Preferably, in the graphic output module,

[0031] The generated CAD-usable format file is defined using the custom block elements in CAD, and there are elements in the template CAD that correspond to the block elements one by one;

[0032] Generate CAD-usable format files using dxf format for output;

[0033] The generated CAD-usable format file can be manually adjusted for secondary use.

[0034] Preferably, it also includes:

[0035] UI interface module, used to manage all interfaces of the software;

[0036] The data structure definition module is used to define the data structure corresponding to the input data, the data structure used for drawing, and the data structure of the configuration file.

[0037] Preferably, in the UI interface module, all interfaces include but are not limited to the main interface, the configuration interface, and the manual data input interface.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0039] The user of the present invention provides formatted input data. After completing the basic configuration, the tool can automatically start the drawing process without the need for subsequent manual intervention, which greatly improves work efficiency;

[0040] Automatically calculate and determine the coordinates of each element based on the input mileage data to ensure the standardization and accuracy of the graphics;

[0041] Compared with traditional manual drawing, this tool significantly reduces errors caused by human factors through automated processes and improves the reliability of subway trackside layout drawings;

[0042] The design of the tool is data-centric, ensuring that every step from input to output is strictly based on data, enhancing the consistency of the drawing results;

[0043] The operation process is simplified. Users only need to provide input data for drawing and then configure it on the UI interface to enjoy the convenience brought by automation, which reduces the technical threshold.

[0044] In summary, this tool provides an efficient and reliable solution for drawing subway trackside layout diagrams with its automation, accuracy and user-friendliness. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
