Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft electrical wiring harness design, and more particularly to a method and system for interacting two-dimensional logical data and three-dimensional physical data of an aircraft wiring harness. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in aircraft wiring harness design, signal logic and wiring relationships are designed using two-dimensional system electrical schematics or circuit diagrams. These design results and data are stored in 2D design software, such as Siemens' CHS software. In contrast, three-dimensional wiring harness installation design is designed using a 3D digital model of the harness installation. These design results and data are stored in 3D installation design software, such as Dassault Systèmes' CATIA software.

[0003] However, the 3D installation design of aircraft wiring harnesses requires 2D signal wiring information. Similarly, the 2D wiring diagram design of aircraft also requires 3D information such as wire length. Other scenarios, such as harness safety analysis and line voltage drop and ampacity calculation, also require the simultaneous use of 2D and 3D harness data. Therefore, a method is needed to enable the interaction between 2D logical and 3D physical data of aircraft harnesses.

[0004] An analysis of existing technologies reveals that currently used software such as CHS and CATIA do not offer native wiring harness data interaction functionality, and other existing technologies also offer no relevant solutions. The existing aircraft wiring harness design process typically requires exporting 2D and 3D wiring data separately, then searching for the corresponding relationship between the two based on the terminal connection device numbers. This approach is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also prone to human error when processing the massive amounts of millions of data points required for aircraft wiring harness design, potentially jeopardizing the accuracy and reliability of the design.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art for an improved technology for implementing interaction between two-dimensional logical data and three-dimensional physical data of an aircraft wiring harness. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Figure 1A flow chart of a method for interacting two-dimensional logical data and three-dimensional physical data of an aircraft wiring harness according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, at step 102 , a storage unit may be provided for storing information associated with a plurality of wires in an aircraft wiring harness.

[0042] In one non-limiting example, the information associated with the plurality of conductors may include: conductor attribute information; conductor path information; and channel physical location information.

[0043] In a further non-limiting example, setting the storage unit may include: establishing a storage table for each type of the information; and linking the storage tables through a universal unique identifier to achieve storage of the information.

[0044] In step 104 , a two-dimensional data interface of the plurality of conductive lines may be constructed based on the storage unit.

[0045] In one non-limiting example, a two-dimensional data interface may be used to display information associated with the plurality of conductors.

[0046] In step 106 , communication between the two-dimensional data interface and the three-dimensional engine may be established.

[0047] In a non-limiting example, establishing communication between the 2D data interface and the 3D engine may include: embedding the 3D engine into the main window interface of a cross-platform application development framework, and calling an application programming interface associated with the 3D engine to implement customized development.

[0048] In step 108 , a three-dimensional digital model of the plurality of wires may be reproduced in a three-dimensional engine.

[0049] In a non-limiting example, reproducing the three-dimensional digital model of the multiple wires in a three-dimensional engine may include: reproducing a structure tree of the multiple wires in a window of the three-dimensional engine, the structure tree including the starting devices, ending devices, points where the wires access channels, and wire paths of the multiple wires; and reproducing the three-dimensional digital model of the multiple wires in a window of the three-dimensional engine, the three-dimensional digital model including a combination of multiple channel segments, access points of the multiple channel segments, and flying wires between corresponding starting devices and / or corresponding ending devices.

[0050] Two embodiments are given below: interaction by selecting a three-dimensional digital model in a three-dimensional engine, and interaction by selecting a wire in a two-dimensional data interface.

[0051] In a non-limiting example, implementing the interaction between the two-dimensional data of the multiple wires and the three-dimensional digital model may include: in response to selecting a three-dimensional digital model in a three-dimensional engine, determining the name of a geometric graphics set corresponding to the three-dimensional digital model; and searching for data corresponding to the geometric graphics set name in an embedded cross-platform application development framework, thereby displaying information associated with the multiple wires in the selected three-dimensional digital model in a two-dimensional data interface.

[0052] In a non-limiting example, implementing the interaction between the two-dimensional data and the three-dimensional digital model of the multiple wires may include: in response to selecting a wire in the two-dimensional data interface, determining the cable name corresponding to the selected wire; and searching for data corresponding to the cable name in an embedded cross-platform application development framework, thereby locating the three-dimensional digital model associated with the selected wire in the three-dimensional engine.

[0053] In step 110 , the interaction between the two-dimensional data of the plurality of wires and the three-dimensional digital model may be achieved through an application programming interface associated with the three-dimensional engine.

[0054] The above describes the method for interacting 2D logical data with 3D physical data. This method converts the 2D logical data and 3D spatial path digital model of wires into structured data and stores it in a database. A front-end interface communicates with the database, calls the wire data in the database to present a view, and then uses the interface to drive a 3D engine to reproduce the 3D digital model of the wires, thereby enabling interaction between the 2D logical data and 3D physical data of aircraft wiring harnesses.

[0055] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a wire harness interaction framework of an interaction system between two-dimensional logical data and three-dimensional physical data according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the interactive system adopts a front-end and back-end separation mode, wherein the front-end creates a two-dimensional data operation platform 202 and a three-dimensional digital model operation platform 204, while the back-end can, for example, use an Oracle database 206, and by creating structured data in the Oracle database 206, convert the three-dimensional model into three-dimensional data for storage, and establish a mapping relationship between the two-dimensional data and the three-dimensional data.

[0056] Specifically, in order to realize the communication and data interaction between different systems and provide support for the data interaction between the front and back ends, the function of the data interface layer 212 can be realized by using WebService interface technology, that is, the back end can provide a data interface through WebService, and the front end can obtain data or submit a request by calling these interfaces. In the back-end development, the Java programming language can be mainly used, and the mainstream SpringBoot framework is adopted to integrate the relevant components. Through the powerful function of the Spring Boot framework, efficient and scalable back-end services can be quickly built. In order to realize the data persistence layer, the Mybatis framework 210 can be adopted. The Mybatis framework 210 can support customized SQL (Structured Query Language), stored procedures and advanced mappings, which can meet the needs of complex business logic. Further, through simple XML or annotations, the MyBatis framework 210 can flexibly configure and map native information, thereby realizing efficient data operations. In addition, in order to provide efficient database connection management, the Druid data connection pool 208 can be adopted. The Druid data connection pool 208 can not only optimize the performance of the database connection, but also provide powerful monitoring and security protection functions. This architectural design ensures system flexibility, scalability, and high performance, while meeting the needs of enterprise-level application development. In this system, annotations are used to map interfaces and Java POJOs (JAVA entity objects) to records in the database, further simplifying the development process and improving development efficiency.

[0057] The following combination Figure 2 The wire harness interaction framework is used to explain an embodiment of the wire harness interaction process. Figure 1 The interactive method described above may include five steps: establishing a storage unit, building a front-end interface, establishing communication, reproducing a three-dimensional digital model, and realizing interaction, thereby realizing the process of transferring wire data from the database to the front-end interface and then reproducing it into a three-dimensional digital model. The specific process is as follows:

[0058] (1) A storage unit is established in a database (such as Oracle database 206) for storing conductor data. The conductor attributes are linked to the conductor path and other information through a bridge relationship.

[0059] Specifically, a data storage unit can be established based on signal logic and physical installation data to store conductor attribute information, conductor path information, and channel physical location information. A data table can be created for each type of information, and then the data tables can be linked using, for example, a UUID (universally unique identifier) to achieve full conductor information storage.

[0060] Figure 3A schematic diagram of conductor information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The conductor information data table may include attributes such as conductor name, wire gauge, conductor part number, conductor type, and the multi-core wire to which it belongs.

[0061] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of connector information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The data table of the connector information only displays the properties of the connector itself, including the connector name, connector part number, device to which it belongs, and connector coordinates.

[0062] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of device information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The data table of the device information only displays the device's own attributes, including device name, device part number, device type, and device coordinates.

[0063] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of pin information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The data table of the pin information only displays the pin's own attributes, including the hole number, the connector to which it belongs, and the device to which it belongs.

[0064] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of path information according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The data table of the path information records various attributes of a path, including the starting and ending positions of the path, the total length of the path, and the channels passed through.

[0065] Figure 8 The wire information data table (also called wire data splicing table) is a schematic diagram of the wire information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 3 to 7 The related information shown is linked to form a complete wire, which may include the wire name, the devices connected at both ends, connectors, pins, and the path of the wire itself.

[0066] (2) Constructing a two-dimensional data interface front end (such as a two-dimensional data operation platform 202). Through data communication, the wire data is presented on the front-end two-dimensional data interface.

[0067] Specifically, a wire data interface (i.e., a two-dimensional data interface) can be established to display various properties of the wire. This interface can include functions such as data search and filtering, so that wire data can be displayed in this interface through customized conditions.

[0068] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a two-dimensional data interface according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 10 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a wire data item according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9The wire is used as a unit to display various properties of the wire, including drawing number, configuration, isolation code, terminal equipment, connector, hole number, path and other information. All properties (i.e. data items) of all displayed wires are as follows: Figure 10 shown.

[0069] (3) Establishing communication between a two-dimensional data interface (such as the two-dimensional data operation platform 202) and a three-dimensional engine can realize rendering, display, dragging, and rotation of the three-dimensional model.

[0070] Specifically, it is possible to establish communication between the wire data interface (i.e., a 2D data interface) and CATIA software (i.e., a 3D engine), embed CATIA (e.g., CATIA V5R18) into the main window interface of Qt (i.e., a cross-platform application development framework), and call the API (application programming interface) related to elements such as 3D view control in CATIA Automation in the background to implement customized development. The above operations can be mainly divided into two parts: launching CATIA, which uses a Python script to read the local machine's registry information, automatically identify multiple installed versions of CATIA, and accurately launch the target version CATIA V5R18 (preferably the 64-bit version); and controlling CATIA, which, after successfully launching CATIA V5R18, uses the Qt application to perform 3D interactive operations on CATIA through the Automation API.

[0071] in addition, Figure 11 The following diagram shows a QT / CATIA integration plug-in according to an embodiment of the present invention. The Python packaging tool pyinstaller can be used to package the following four functions into an exe toolkit, which can be called by Qt through a thread interface to implement logical control functions for CATIA and Windows within Qt:

[0072] 1) BrowseReg_startV5R18.exe: Starts CATIA V5R18 on the local machine. Development Logic: Obtains the necessary CATIA V5R18 installation path through the registry search interface, then extracts parameters such as CATIA environment variables from different machines to form a startup script to implement the startup function.

[0073] 2) embed_in_CATIA.exe: Embeds CATIA V5R18 into the Qt main window interface. Development Logic: Retrieve the PID numbers of the active CATIA V5R18 process and the Qt main interface through the registry retrieval interface, and use the Windows windll interface to set the parent and child windows to implement the embedding function.

[0074] 3) embed_out_CATIA.exe: Embeds CATIA V5R18 into the Qt main window interface. Development Logic: Obtains the PID numbers of the active CATIA V5R18 process and the Qt main interface through the registry retrieval interface, and uses the Windows windll interface to set the parent and child windows to implement the embedding function.

[0075] 4) if_one_CNEXT_exe_and_Check_V5R18.exe: Checks whether only one CATIA instance is running in the background process and whether the running version is V5 R18. Development Logic: Retrieves the background process named CNEXT.exe or CNEXT*32.exe through the registry search interface. For any qualifying processes, control is transferred to a Qt QAxObject object and the prepared CATIA version information is obtained through the CATIA Automation API to implement the detection function.

[0076] Figure 12 A schematic diagram of integrating a two-dimensional data interface with CATIA according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, that is, CATIA is embedded in the two-dimensional data interface (ie, the wire data interface).

[0077] (4) By setting buttons in a 3D interface (such as the 3D digital model operation platform 204), relevant elements of the 3D engine secondary development are called, and the points and lines of the wires are drawn in the 3D interface. The wires are organized in the structure tree of the 3D interface, including the starting device, the passing channel, and the ending device, and finally a 3D digital model of the wires is formed.

[0078] Figure 13 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of wire digital-analog replication according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 13 As shown, in the 3D engine window (i.e., 3D interface, such as 3D digital model operation platform 204), the left side is a structure tree, including information such as the starting and ending devices, the points where the wires access the channel, and the specific wire paths.

[0079] The basic principles of reproducing the wire digital model are as follows:

[0080] 1) Create MBD: Use Qt's QAxObject object to control the CATIA process object, and call the MBD element-related API in CATIA Automation based on business logic to achieve customized development.

[0081] 2) Measurement and drawing of elements such as points and lines in signal routing: Use Qt's QAxObject object to control the CATIA process object, and combine business logic to call the related APIs of geometric graphics sets, measurements, geometry and other elements in CATIA Automation to achieve customized development.

[0082] 3) Structure tree refresh, centering, and model centering, etc.: Use Qt's QAxObject object to control the CATIA process object, and combine business logic to call the API related to elements such as 3D view control in CATIA Automation to achieve customized development.

[0083] The final wire topology digital model (i.e. three-dimensional digital model) is as follows Figure 13 As shown on the right side, the wire model is a combination of multiple channels, as well as flying wires between channel access points and devices.

[0084] (5) Use the program to control the wire digital model in the three-dimensional engine, and combine the business logic to call the three-dimensional view control and other element-related APIs (application programming interfaces) to realize the interaction between the two-dimensional data of the wire and the three-dimensional digital model.

[0085] Specifically, you can use the CATIA Automation 3D view control and other element-related APIs to achieve the interaction between the 2D data and the 3D digital model of the wire. By selecting the 3D digital model of the wire in CATIA, you can locate the selected wire in the 2D data interface as follows:

[0086] 1) Select a digital model and obtain the selected CATIA geometry set name (VB Automation).

[0087] 2) Get the active CATIA project file through the COM object management function in QAxObject, and then read the name of the geometric set (Qt C++).

[0088] 3) Find rows with the same name in the Qt data interface and locate unique data based on factors such as project and configuration (Qt C++).

[0089] 4) This principle can be used to find the wire set within a certain path.

[0090] At the same time, you can also select the wire in the 2D data interface to highlight and center the selected wire digital model in CATIA. The method is as follows:

[0091] 1) Select a piece of data to obtain the cable name.

[0092] 2) Call VB Automation to read this value and locate this digital model in CATIA.

[0093] You can understand that the above reference Figures 2 to 13 The described wiring harness interaction process is only exemplary and can be adjusted, modified, added and / or deleted according to actual needs. Figure 1 The above-mentioned method of interaction between two-dimensional logical data and three-dimensional physical data is sufficient.

[0094] Figure 14 A schematic diagram of a system for interacting two-dimensional logical data with three-dimensional physical data for aircraft wiring harnesses, according to one embodiment of the present invention, is shown.

[0100] (1) By linking the three-dimensional digital model of the conductor with the two-dimensional data, real-time interaction between the conductor data and the digital model is achieved, which is conducive to improving the quality and efficiency of wire harness design, and can support the implementation of wire harness safety analysis, line voltage drop performance analysis and other tasks.

[0101] (2) By integrating the wire logic view with the digital model view, the correspondence between the wire logic properties and the three-dimensional installation properties can be intuitively displayed, so that the wiring harness can be designed synchronously from the logical and physical perspectives.

[0102] In summary, this invention addresses the low efficiency and high workload associated with manually searching for corresponding relationships based on the device numbers of terminal connection devices in existing aircraft wiring harness designs, while also avoiding the potential risk of human error.
