Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of machine tool processing, and in particular to the field of machine model management and maintenance, and specifically refers to a method, device, processor and computer-readable storage medium thereof for improving the ability of a machine tool factory to manage machine models and accumulate maintenance experience data. Background Art

[0002] The existing machine tool processing systems on the market currently have the following technical problems:

[0003] 1. For different models, a package backup is required for each model;

[0004] 2. The machine tool factory has sufficient debugging experience, but has not done a good job of accumulation. Currently, valuable data is recorded in a notebook, and when it is needed, it is manually input one by one;

[0005] 3. When the machine tool factory sends the machine for debugging, if the packaged backup model file is lost, all the files need to be re-debugged;

[0006] 4. The machine tool manufacturer has made some adjustments to the hardware of the machines, and the existing packaged software cannot be fully adapted. The modified parts need to be re-debugged.

[0007] In view of the above technical problems, there are usually the following technical defects:

[0008] (1) Different machine models require more packaged backup content to be maintained; large machine tool factories have a large number of machine models to manage, which is highly complex;

[0009] (2) Manufacturers use notebooks to record data, which is inconvenient for later maintenance and migration. Manual data entry is prone to errors and inefficiency.

[0010] (3) The above technical problems 3 and 4 can be debugged in combination with problem 2, but the overall efficiency is relatively low;

[0011] (4) Although the above technical problems 3 and 4 can be solved by using the import and export provided by the above system manufacturers, they cannot be completely solved. This is because the existing import and export range is relatively wide, which may lead to unnecessary modifications and still require manual inspection, or if some import restrictions do not allow import, manual re-debugging is still required.

[0035] (4.2.a) Execute the export and determine whether the currently selected export content needs to be exported. If the export is confirmed, the export folder is named and the export is completed. Otherwise, the export is canceled.

[0051] The method for improving the machine tool factory's ability to manage machine models and accumulate maintenance experience data, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

[0052] (1) For the machine model to be switched, the machine model set and data recipe set provided by the machine model management software are used to allow the machine tool manufacturer to perform corresponding processing on the target machine model according to the switching process;

[0053] (2) Design a machine model collection model so that the machine tool factory can handle the managed machine models accordingly according to the machine model management process;

[0055] (4) Provides import and export functions for machine model sets and data recipe sets, supports import and export of sets as a whole or individually, and enables machine tool manufacturers to perform overall maintenance processing for all machine models and recipes.

[0056] The step (1) is specifically as follows:

[0057] (1.1) Select the appropriate model for the current model to be switched;

[0058] (1.2) Perform XOR matching on the selected model. If the match is successful, switch directly and enter step (1.4). Otherwise, enter step (1.3);

[0059] (1.3) Confirm that the current model is not compatible enough, further select a suitable recipe and perform XOR judgment again. If a suitable recipe currently exists, directly execute the corresponding application and enter step (1.4). Otherwise, directly enter step (1.4);

[0060] (1.4) Perform corresponding basic debugging on the current model to complete the model switching operation.

[0061] See also Figure 2 As shown, the step (2) is specifically as follows:

[0062] (2.1) Filtering model information based on the existing model set model;

[0063] (2.2) Performing XOR judgment processing on the selected model information, if the match is successful, confirming that the currently selected model information is an existing model in the model set model, and proceeding to step (2.4); otherwise, proceeding to step (2.3);

[0064] (2.3) confirming that the currently selected model information is a model that does not exist in the model set model, then adding the currently selected model to the model set model;

[0065] (2.4) Update the model information in the model set model and complete the model management process.

[0069] (3.3) Update the current recipe data and complete the update process.

[0070] See also Figure 4 As shown, when the step (4) is exported, the following processing is performed:

[0072] (4.2.a) Execute the export and determine whether the currently selected export content needs to be exported. If the export is confirmed, the export folder is named and the export is completed. Otherwise, the export is canceled.

[0074] (4.1.b) Start the import workflow and select the import path and import content;

[0076] In actual application, this technical solution is achieved by providing the following functions through the CNC system: machine model switching, machine model management, recipe management and import and export.

[0077] "Model switching" is mainly for those who have existing model management software. After the software is installed, you can switch to the target model, which can be used for new machine debugging. Since each model has default data, it will improve the overall launch efficiency. If the target model is partially incompatible with the current hardware, you can select the accumulated data formula for hardware adaptation to achieve the purpose of rapid debugging.

[0078] "Model management" is mainly aimed at providing convenience for machine tool factories with strong independent research and development capabilities, supporting the addition of new models and subsequent maintainability upgrades, including model upgrades and elimination. Once a model is formed, it can be used as part of the later model management of the machine tool factory and can be maintained sustainably. This method can facilitate the self-development of machine tool factories and help the growth and development of machine tool factories to a certain extent.

[0079] "Formula management" is mainly aimed at machine tool manufacturers who are good at summarizing, providing a method for digital management of data formulas. Based on this, machine tool manufacturers can enter their own summarized data into the system to form formulas one by one. If the corresponding module needs to be debugged later, the formula can be directly applied. In addition, the formula must also support maintainability to ensure the continuous improvement of digital assets and enhance product competitiveness.

[0080] "Import and export" is mainly for the overall maintenance of machine models and recipes of machine tool factories. It can be understood that a series of files are exported, which can also be imported into the software system. The exported and imported files can also be stored on disks or removable disks. In actual applications, manufacturers can package a complete software package for management, which includes all machine models and recipes, or they can package models and recipes separately. As a lighter-weight management, it supports single or multi-select export and import, which provides convenience for product expansion. The overall design is flexible to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0081] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the model maintenance of Weihong-NK550 series products realizes the following functions: model switching, model management, recipe management, import and export.

[0096] The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, and the computer program can be executed by a processor to implement the steps of the method for improving the machine tool factory's model management and accumulation of maintenance experience data.

[0104] After using this technical solution: it supports adding self-developed models to the above software, and no matter how many models there are, they are still managed by one software;

[0105] 3. Added data recipe

[0106] Before using this technical solution: the machine tool factory accumulated data on its own, managed it in paper form, could not be connected to the CNC system, and input was inefficient;
