Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of digital design and manufacturing, and in particular relates to a process-oriented component allocation automated design method, device and system. Background Art

[0002] As a key link in the manufacturing of mechanical products, the assembly process has a direct impact on the final quality, performance and manufacturing cost of the product. Reasonable assembly process can significantly improve product quality, reduce manufacturing costs, shorten production cycle, and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises. In the assembly process of mechanical products, component allocation is one of the most important links. Component allocation refers to the reasonable allocation of various parts of the product to different assembly processes to achieve the optimal assembly sequence and efficiency. The importance of component allocation is reflected in many aspects: reasonable component allocation can reduce interference and other problems during the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency; it can optimize resource utilization and balance the workload of each process, thereby improving overall production efficiency; it helps to improve product quality and reduce assembly error rate.

[0003] As the complexity of mechanical product design increases, the difficulty of component allocation also increases, especially in the case of product design changes or process changes, the challenges of component allocation are more prominent. There are many factors to consider when allocating components, such as the feasibility and convenience of assembly operations, production line layout, equipment capacity limitations, human resource allocation, etc., which further increases the difficulty of component allocation. When product design changes, new parts may be introduced or the shape, size and relationship of existing parts may be changed, which requires re-evaluation and adjustment of the entire assembly process. Similarly, process changes may also lead to changes in the assembly sequence, additions and subtractions of processes, or adjustments to work steps. These changes will have a significant impact on the original component allocation plan, making reallocation complicated and time-consuming.

[0004] At present, the implementation of component allocation mainly relies on manual experience and simple auxiliary tools or software. Experienced process engineers manually allocate components by analyzing product structure, assembly relationships and production conditions. Even if the operation can be more intuitive through dragging and dropping in the software graphical interface, it can only use the professional knowledge and experience of engineers, which has obvious limitations. First, manual allocation is inefficient, especially for complex products, and may take a lot of time; second, the results of manual allocation are often difficult to achieve global optimization, because it is difficult for the human brain to consider and weigh all relevant factors at the same time; third, this method is highly dependent on personal experience, difficult to standardize and inherit, and not conducive to the accumulation and sharing of knowledge.

[0005] In addition, some companies use simple databases to assist in component allocation, but they can usually only provide basic data management and query functions and cannot achieve true intelligence and automation. Moreover, they are often only targeted at specific types of products or assembly scenarios, lacking universality and flexibility. Especially when faced with product design changes or process adjustments, existing methods are difficult to respond and adapt to changes quickly, and often require a lot of manual intervention and adjustments. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a process-oriented component allocation automation design method, device and system to achieve standardization, automation and intelligence of process design, significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of process design, and at the same time, automatically adapt to product design changes, achieve rapid adjustment of process routes, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a process-oriented component allocation automation design method, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Define product structure based on modular thinking and establish a product modular system.

[0022] Analyze the functions and performance of products, clarify product specifications, divide the product structure into modules according to production needs based on modularization ideas, and establish a reasonable product modularization system; in which, in the product modularization system, different products can be constructed through the selection and combination of modules, and the overall modular architecture of the product includes three levels: subsystems, functional modules and instance components.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the subsystem layer is the first level of the product structure. Each subsystem usually completes the main functional requirements of the product and is an independent and complete part of the product. Figure 2 In the , "(XX model) host" is the overall product; and the modules such as "powertrain", "chassis assembly", "electrical assembly", and "working device" constitute different subsystems. Each subsystem is relatively independent, but together supports the overall function of the product. The functional module layer is the second level of the product structure, located below the subsystem. It divides the subsystem into more detailed functional modules. Each module implements a specific function. These modules can be combined with each other to meet different product requirements. In the "powertrain" subsystem, there are functional modules such as "intake system" and "cooling system"; and in the "working device" subsystem, there are functional modules such as "boom", "bucket rod", and "connecting rod". Through the combination of different functional modules, different performance requirements of the product can be met. The instance component layer is the third level of the product structure, located below the functional module. Each functional module is composed of different components. These components are specific physical objects that can ultimately constitute a specific part of the product. Under the "intake system" functional module, there are example parts such as "air filter" and "pre-filter"; under the "boom" functional module, there are example parts such as "boom welding", "baffle", and "sleeve". These parts constitute the physical implementation part of the functional module and can be actually assembled and produced. Through the above three-level structure, the functions and specifications of each module can be clearly defined in the design stage, and flexibly combined according to production needs. The combination of different modules can form products of different models and specifications. At the same time, by replacing or adjusting modules, product customization can be quickly realized to adapt to the diverse needs of the market, while laying the foundation for modular process design.

[0024] Step 2: Manage process resources and standard operating instructions based on modular processes.

[0025] like Figure 3The following is an organizational chart of modular processes, which is a set of example operating standards based on production lines. Different process modules are configured for different design modules (product systems / subsystems / CBB modules / functional components with different configurations) based on different factories and different workstations on the production line at the manufacturing end. The core work of process module configuration is to formulate modular standard procedures and operating standards. The ideal mode is that one design module corresponds to one operating standard under one workstation, or one module corresponds to one operating standard. However, the actual scenario is often that one module corresponds to multiple operating standards (one workstation or multiple workstations) or one operating standard is composed of the assembly of multiple modules (partial components of the module).

[0026] (1) Manage process resources based on modular processes, including: sorting out process resources and establishing a process resource library, wherein the process resource library includes company, work center, work center description, equipment, tooling number, tooling name, tools, hangers, auxiliary material codes, and auxiliary material quotas.

[0027] (2) Standard operating instructions are managed based on modular processes, including: sorting out standard operating instructions and establishing a standard operating instruction library, wherein the standard operating instruction library includes: document related: company name, operating instruction name, operating instruction number, version, and number of pages; resource related: equipment, jigs, tools, cutting tools, measuring tools, and slings; work step attribute related: work step, work step name, and work step content; process drawings: process attached schematic diagram, schematic diagram description, and schematic diagram source file; detailed list: material detailed list, tool detailed list; labor protection related: protective shoes, safety helmets, protective glasses, sunshade goggles, dust masks, hearing protection products, and protective measures.

[0028] Step 3: Establish the relationship between process resources and standard operating instructions and workstations in modular processes, and build a standard process library, as follows: Establish the association between process resources, standard operation instructions and workstations. When compiling standard operation instructions, reference standard operation instructions based on workstations, quickly select process resources, sort out standard processes, define workstations on the production line as standard processes and number them. Build a standard process library and establish selection rules between process resources and standard operating instructions in the standard process library, that is, one standard process corresponds to multiple process resources and standard operating instructions.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown in the figure, taking the main engine assembly process module of production line A as an example, the entire production line is scientifically divided into multiple assembly stations from OP0010 to OP0050, and each station contains several assembly processes, such as front chassis connection bracket assembly, rear chassis connection bracket assembly, road plate and structural parts assembly, electrical structural parts assembly, etc. A process resource library is built based on different factories, and a standard operation standard library is also built. The process resource library covers all kinds of resources required for production, including special tooling for different factories such as front and rear chassis flip hangers, placement tooling, support tooling, and torque wrenches, screwdrivers, hydraulic wrenches, dial indicators and other general tools and measuring tools. The standard operation standard library systematically includes standard operating procedures such as sheet metal and structural parts assembly, electrical structural parts assembly, chassis connection bracket assembly, brake assembly, wheel hub assembly, and motor assembly. In actual application, the system first establishes the association relationship with process resources and standard operation instructions based on the workstation. Each workstation corresponds to a specific standard process, which is numbered and included in the standard process library. By establishing a one-to-many association mechanism, a standard process can flexibly call multiple process resources and associate standard operation instructions at the same time. Taking the OP0010 general assembly workstation as an example, when performing the front chassis connection bracket assembly process, the system will automatically associate the required tooling (front chassis flip hanger) and tools (torque wrench), and call the corresponding standard operation instructions at the same time to form a complete operation guidance system.

[0030] Step 4: Based on the product modularization system, use the standard processes in the standard process library to create a modular whole machine assembly process.

[0031] Operators (such as product process supervisors) analyze the assembly type, structure and parameters of product objects according to product characteristics and customer needs, clarify the scope of assembly process data, and master the whole machine assembly process. Based on the existing whole machine assembly process and product modularization system, standard processes in the standard process library are used to create modular whole machine assembly processes.

[0032] Step 5: Create a whole machine instance process route based on the modular whole machine assembly process. The details are as follows: (1) Matching the module operation standards corresponding to the actual modules included in the whole machine from the modular whole machine assembly process described in step 4; (2) Create project work standards at the workstation by referencing the module work standards; (3) Allocate parts in the module operation standard to the workstations; (4) Confirm and improve the process route and operation standards, and automatically generate the process route for the entire machine instance.

[0033] Step 6: Perform process change management based on modular processes.

[0034] The process changes are divided into changes caused by product design and changes initiated by the process itself according to the source of the task.

[0035] For changes caused by product design, changes in the BOM structure will also lead to process changes. EBOM structure changes will lead to PBOM structure changes. At the same time, according to the material changes in the EBOM module, all instance hosts that apply the module are traversed, and the modular operation standards of the module are modified. The system automatically and synchronously modifies the instance process route changes and instance operation standards that use the module.

[0036] For autonomous process optimization changes and changes to module instance operating standards, the system automatically changes the operating standards of the entire machine that references the module based on the association relationship. At the same time, if component changes are involved, the component allocation information is modified synchronously.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on the same inventive concept as Example 1, this embodiment provides a process-oriented component allocation automation design device, including a product structure definition module, a process resource management module, a standard operation instruction management module, a workstation management module, a modular whole machine assembly process creation module, an example process route design module and a process change management module.

[0039] The product structure definition module is used to define the product structure based on modularization and establish a product modularization system. This module first analyzes the product's functions and performance, clarifies the product specification requirements, and then divides the product structure based on modularization to establish a scientific and reasonable product modularization system. In this process, the product is decomposed into three levels: subsystems, functional modules, and instance components, and the relationship between them is established, laying the foundation for subsequent process design.

[0040] The process resource management module is used to manage process resources based on modular processes and is responsible for unified management and deployment of various resources involved in the production process. This module includes subsystems such as work center management, equipment management, tool management, and auxiliary material management. By establishing a standardized process resource library, accurate allocation and efficient utilization of resources can be achieved.

[0041] The standard operation instruction management module is used to manage standard operation instructions based on modular processes and is responsible for creating and managing standardized operation instruction documents. This module not only includes basic document management functions, such as number management and version control, but also includes association management with process resources, process step definition, process drawing management, and safety protection requirements management.

[0042] The workstation management module is used to implement standardized definitions of workstations, establish the relationship between process resources and standard operating instructions and workstations, ensure that the work content of each workstation is clear and unambiguous through process number management, and build a standard process library, in which selection rules between process resources and standard operating instructions are established.

[0043] The modular whole machine assembly process creation module is used to create a modular whole machine assembly process based on the product modular system and using standard processes in the standard process library.

[0044] The example process route design module is used to create the whole machine example process route based on the modular whole machine assembly process. This module completes the detailed process design through steps such as module operation standard matching and part station allocation. This module also includes the process route optimization function, which can dynamically adjust the process route according to the actual production situation.

[0045] The process change management module is used to manage process changes based on modular processes. This module can automatically handle process adjustments caused by design changes, including BOM structure changes, process route updates, etc. At the same time, for changes caused by process optimization, the system can also automatically complete the corresponding updates. Through this module, the timeliness and accuracy of process changes are ensured.

[0046] The specific functional implementation of each of the above modules can be found in the relevant contents of the method in Example 1 and will not be elaborated here.

Moreover, the present application may take the form of a computer program product implemented on one or more computer-usable storage media (including but not limited to disk storage, CD-ROM, optical storage, etc.) containing computer-usable program codes.
