[0002] Japanese Patent Gazette No. 6735367 proposes a technology that includes: trial-molding a product using a molding die; measuring the positions of multiple measurement points in the trial-molded product; calculating the size of the offset between the measured values ​​and the design values ​​at the measurement points; displaying the size of the offset on a diagram of the product shape; adjusting the position of the product coordinate system on the product to reduce the size of the offset at the measurement points; calculating the size of the offset relative to the design value in the adjusted product coordinate system; and correcting the molding die based on the calculated size of the offset.

[0044] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing a schematic configuration example of an information processing system according to this embodiment.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the information processing system 10 of this embodiment includes a client terminal 12 and a server 14. The client terminal 12 and the server 14 are respectively connected to a communication line 16 and can communicate with each other via the communication line 16. As an example of the communication line 16, a network such as the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), or a WAN (Wide Area Network) is used as an example. Figure 1 In the figure, there are multiple ( Figure 1 Although the example of the client terminal 12 is two in the figure, the client terminal 12 may be one or more than three. In addition, the client terminal 12 may also be a personal computer, or a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or a smart phone.

[0046] The information processing system 10 of this embodiment acquires measurement values ​​obtained by measuring the inspection target positions of multiple objects. It then assists in product quality evaluation by displaying objects representing evaluation results derived from the measurement values ​​of the multiple objects using manufacturing quality evaluation indicators on a three-dimensional model.

[0047] Furthermore, in the present invention, a shaped object refers to a product processed into a specific shape, such as an industrially produced part. Examples include injection molding or casting, where a material is filled into a space enclosed by a mold and solidified; stamping, where a sheet of material is pressed against a mold to deform its shape; machining with a cutting machine; welding using an arc or laser; and additive manufacturing using a 3D printer. However, any shaped object falls within the scope of application of the information processing system 10 of this embodiment.

[0048] In addition, a three-dimensional model represents a three-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) model, and PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) refers to the product manufacturing information required for the manufacture of the product, such as dimensions, tolerances, annotations, surface processing, and materials associated with the three-dimensional model. It is the benchmark value of the modeled object.

[0049] Furthermore, measurement refers to the act of obtaining values ​​such as position, length, and angle of a shaped object to be inspected using a measuring device.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the electrical system of the client terminal 12 and the server 14 of the information processing system 10 of this embodiment. Since the client terminal 12 and the server 14 are general computer configurations, the client terminal 12 will be used as a representative in the following description.

[0051] The client terminal 12 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 12A, an example of a processor; a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12B; a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12C; a storage device 12D; an operation unit 12E; a display unit 12F; and a communication I / F (interface) unit 12G. The CPU 12A manages the overall operation of the client terminal 12. The ROM 12B pre-stores various control programs and parameters. The RAM 12C is used as a workspace when the CPU 12A executes various programs. The storage device 12D stores various data and application programs. The operation unit 12E is used to input various information. The display unit 12F is used to display various information. The communication I / F unit 12G can connect to external devices and transmit and receive various data to and from the external devices. The above components of the client terminal 12 are electrically connected to each other via a system bus 12H. Furthermore, in the client terminal 12 of the present embodiment, the storage device 12D is used as the storage unit, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and other nonvolatile storage units such as a hard disk and a flash memory may be used.

[0052] With the above configuration, the client terminal 12 of this embodiment uses the CPU 12A to access the ROM 12B, RAM 12C, and storage device 12D, acquire various data via the operation unit 12E, and display various information on the display unit 12F. Furthermore, the client terminal 12 uses the CPU 12A to control the transmission and reception of various data via the communication I / F unit 12G.

[0053] The information processing system 10 of this embodiment is implemented by the CPU 12A of the client terminal 12 expanding the information processing program pre-stored in the ROM 12B into the RAM 12C and executing the program. Figure 3 The functions shown. Figure 3 1 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, the information processing system 10 of this embodiment includes the functions of an acquisition unit 20, an index evaluation unit 22, and a display processing unit 24. In this embodiment, the functions of the acquisition unit 20 and the display processing unit 24 are described as functions of the client terminal 12, but they can also be functions of the server 14.

[0055] The acquisition unit 20 acquires measurement values ​​for multiple objects. For example, measurement values ​​obtained from pre-set measurement locations on objects from different batches or objects made of different materials are stored in the server 14 as a database (DB) 26. The acquisition unit 20 then acquires the measurement values ​​from the DB 26. The measurement values ​​acquired by the acquisition unit 20 include not only those measured on three-dimensional coordinates using a three-dimensional measuring instrument, such as one that acquires three-dimensional coordinates by direct contact of an inspection probe with the object being inspected, but also those acquired non-contact by optically capturing images, as well as those acquired using simulation methods.

[0056] The index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement results acquired by the acquisition unit 20 using an index for evaluating manufacturing quality. The index evaluation unit 22 evaluates, for example, a deviation from a design value or a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a measured value, i.e., a deviation, as an example of an index.

[0057] The display processing unit 24 performs processing such that an object representing the evaluation result of the index evaluation unit 22 is displayed at a position corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model. Figure 4 As shown, an arrow object 32 is displayed as an example of an object at a position corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model 30. The arrow object 32, for example, indicates the offset direction by an arrow, and the offset amount or deviation is expressed by display methods such as the size or color of the arrow. Figure 4 In the example shown in FIG, an arrow object 32 is displayed, indicating the deviation (worst value) from the design value. This makes it easier to understand the trend of the workmanship quality of the part, and the analysis is more efficient. In addition, the displayed index is selected, for example, by display settings 31.

[0058] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment, the indicator evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measured values ​​using multiple different indicators for evaluating manufacturing quality in order to simultaneously confirm the evaluation results of multiple indicators. The display processing unit 24 then performs processing to simultaneously display an object representing the evaluation results obtained by the indicator evaluation unit 22 at a location corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model of the prototype.

[0059] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measured values ​​using a composite index, which is a composite index obtained by combining the evaluation results of the indicators used to evaluate the manufacturing quality of each object. The display processing unit 24 then performs processing to display an object representing the evaluation results obtained using the composite index at a location corresponding to the measured location on the three-dimensional model of the prototype.

[0060] Here, the prototype's three-dimensional model is a theoretically dimensionally accurate three-dimensional model created by the designer. It serves as a reference for displaying objects representing the results of workmanship quality inspections and measurements. Furthermore, a measurement location refers to a location specified by the designer to determine the workmanship quality of a part. This includes, for example, locations on a two-dimensional drawing where tolerance information is provided in drawing instructions, or locations where attribute information for the three-dimensional model is assigned. Hereinafter, the following processing may be referred to as the first processing: a process in which an object representing the results of evaluations using multiple different manufacturing quality indicators derived from the measurement values ​​of multiple objects is simultaneously displayed at locations corresponding to the measurement locations on the prototype's three-dimensional model. Furthermore, the process in which an object representing the results of evaluations using a composite indicator derived from the measurement values ​​of multiple objects is displayed at locations corresponding to the measurement locations on the prototype's three-dimensional model is sometimes referred to as the second processing.

[0061] Furthermore, the first process and the second process may be selected by the user, or may be performed with either process being performed.

[0062] Examples of objects include circular, triangular, and quadrilateral objects, and arrow-shaped objects. Furthermore, physical quantities such as differences or offsets from a reference value can be displayed by changing color, size, or length. For example, when displaying an arrow-shaped object, the direction of the PMI offset from the reference value, the direction indicated by the difference, and the like can be displayed. Alternatively, the color can be changed to display at least one of the offset and other changes, and the pass / fail determination result for the PMI.

[0063] Furthermore, to determine the equivalence of two parts, the index evaluation unit 22 can also use a comparison of the two parts as an evaluation index. For example, the difference between the two parts can be calculated. In this case, the display processing unit 24 can also display an object corresponding to the difference between the two parts at a location corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model. This allows not only evaluation of compliance with drawing specifications but also multi-faceted evaluations such as the equivalence of the two parts and the pass / fail of their deviations.

[0064] Next, a specific example of the first process performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment will be described. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing an example of an object displayed by the first process performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment.

[0065] In the first process, an arrow object 32 and a spherical object 34 are simultaneously displayed at positions corresponding to measurement sites on the prototype three-dimensional model 30. The arrow object 32 and the spherical object 34 are examples of objects indicating evaluation results of multiple indices for evaluating manufacturing quality.

[0066] As an example of multiple indicators, Figure 5 An example showing the deviation (worst value and average value) and the deviation from the design value is shown in FIG.

[0067] For example, the offset relative to the three-dimensional model 30 is represented by an arrow-shaped object 32, where the direction of the arrow indicates the offset direction, and the amount of offset is represented by color. Meanwhile, the deviation is represented by a spherical object 34, where the magnitude of the deviation is represented by color. In other words, the evaluation results of the directional indicator are represented by the arrow object 32, while the evaluation results of the non-directional indicator are represented by the sphere object 34. This allows the three evaluation results—the amount of offset, the direction of the offset, and the deviation—to be represented using just two objects.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, arrow object 32 and sphere object 34 are simultaneously displayed at locations corresponding to the measurement locations on three-dimensional model 30. This allows simultaneous confirmation of evaluation results for multiple indicators, providing a detailed and bird's-eye view of the component's workmanship quality. Simultaneously displaying arrow object 32 and sphere object 34 means displaying each object together without switching screens.

[0069] For example, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of indices may be selectively displayed as display settings 31, and the selected result of the confirmed indicator may be received and displayed. In addition, the evaluation results of a plurality of indices may be displayed simultaneously or in a switchable manner.

[0070] Furthermore, regarding arrow object 32 and ball object 34, ball object 34 is displayed closer to the measurement location than arrow object 32. This makes it easier to identify the measurement location and observe the index evaluation results compared to when their display positions are reversed. Furthermore, arrow object 32 is displayed for the evaluation results of indicators with direction, while ball object 34 is displayed for indicators without direction.

[0071] In addition, Figure 5While the example of using the color of an object to express the evaluation results of an indicator is shown in Figure 1, the size of the object can also be used to express the evaluation results of an indicator. Alternatively, the evaluation results can be expressed using both the color and size of the object. By using color and size, the evaluation results of more indicators can be confirmed.

[0072] Figure 6 1 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the first processing performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment. In addition, for example, when the client terminal 12 is operated, the part to be evaluated is selected and the first processing is instructed, the process starts. Figure 6 processing.

[0073] In step S100 , the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30 and proceeds to step S102 . For example, the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30 of the evaluation target that is stored in advance in the server 14 as the DB 26 .

[0074] In step S102 , the CPU 12A acquires the measurement values ​​and the process proceeds to step S104 . Specifically, the acquisition unit 20 acquires the measurement values ​​obtained by measuring predetermined measurement locations of a plurality of shaped objects, which are stored in the server 14 as the DB 26 , for example.

[0075] In step S104, the CPU 12A determines whether a plurality of indicators to be displayed are selected. For example, it is determined whether Figure 5 The indicator shown is displayed in the display setting 31. The process waits until the determination is affirmative and proceeds to step S106.

[0076] In step S106, CPU 12A performs evaluation using the selected index, and the process proceeds to step S108. Specifically, index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement results acquired by acquisition unit 20 using the selected index. For example, the quality of the object is evaluated using the deviation or offset from the design value as an example of an index.

[0077] In step S108, the CPU 12A displays the object representing the evaluation results of each index and proceeds to step S110. That is, the display processing unit 24 performs the following processing: the object representing the evaluation results obtained by the index evaluation unit 22 is displayed at the position corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model of the prototype. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the arrow-shaped arrow object 32 represents the deviation from the design value, with the direction of the arrow indicating the direction of the deviation and the color indicating the amount of the deviation. Furthermore, the spherical ball object 34 represents the deviation, with the color indicating the magnitude of the deviation. This allows simultaneous confirmation of the evaluation results of multiple indicators.

[0078] In step S110, the CPU 12A determines whether other indicators are selected. For example, the CPU 12A determines whether other indicators are selected. Figure 5 The display setting 31 of the display setting 31 is selected and another index is selected. If the determination is affirmative, the process returns to step S106 and the above process is repeated. If no other index is selected and an instruction such as end is given, the determination is negative and a series of processes are terminated.

[0079] By performing the first processing in this manner and confirming the displayed object indicating the evaluation results of each of the plurality of indices, it is possible to collectively confirm a plurality of mutually different indices for evaluating manufacturing quality.

[0080] In addition, in this embodiment, the arrow object 32 and the ball object 34 are used as an example of the object, but the object is not limited thereto. Figure 7 The object shown. Figure 7 This is a diagram showing an example of a changing form of an object.

[0081] exist Figure 7 In addition to the arrow object 32 and the ball object 34, a disk-shaped disk object 36, a ring-shaped ring object 38, a cone-shaped cone object 40, and a polygonal pyramid-shaped polygonal pyramid object 42 are also shown. Figure 7 At least one of the arrow object 32 , the ball object 34 , the disk object 36 , the ring object 38 , the cone object 40 and the polygonal pyramid object 42 is shown.

[0082] In the present embodiment, the evaluation results of two indices are expressed by the arrow object 32 and the ball object 34 . However, the evaluation results of the displayed indices are not limited to two, and may be three or more.

[0083] For example, when displaying the evaluation results of three indicators, Figure 7 The multiple objects shown are shown in combination. Figure 8 This figure shows an example in which objects indicating evaluation results of three indicators are displayed simultaneously.

[0084] More specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, three objects can also be displayed: an arrow object 32, a sphere object 34, and a disk object 36. In this case, the arrow object 32 uses at least one of color, direction, and size to represent the indicator evaluation result. Furthermore, the sphere object 34 uses at least one of color and size to represent the indicator evaluation result. Furthermore, the disk object 36 uses at least one of color and size to represent the indicator evaluation result. As an example, the color and direction of the arrow object 32 represent the offset and offset direction relative to the three-dimensional model 30, respectively. The color of the sphere object 34 represents the deviation, and the color of the disk object 36 represents the pass / fail judgment result relative to the tolerance.

[0085] Next, a specific example of the second process performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment will be described. Figure 9 This is a diagram showing an example of an object displayed by the second process performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment.

[0086] In the second process, an object representing the evaluation result using a composite index synthesized from the evaluation results of the manufacturing quality evaluation indexes for each object is displayed at a position corresponding to the measurement site on the three-dimensional model of the prototype.

[0087] Next, an example will be described in which the offset relative to the three-dimensional model 30 is used as an indicator for each object, and the deviation of the offset is used as a composite indicator. Figure 9 , an example of displaying an arrow object 32 at a position corresponding to a measurement portion on a three-dimensional model 30 is shown. The arrow object 32 is an example of an object representing a result of evaluation using a composite index obtained by synthesizing the evaluation results of the respective indicators of part A and part B.

[0088] exist Figure 9 The example shown in FIG. 3 shows an example in which the offset amount and offset direction of each of parts A and B relative to the three-dimensional model 30 are indicated by arrow objects 32A, and each part is displayed with a color indicating the offset amount relative to the acceptable range.

[0089] In addition, the arrow object 32B represents the workmanship quality of part B relative to part A, and it is assumed that part B is NG (unqualified) because the deviation from part A is large. Figure 9 In the example shown in FIG, the deviation in the direction of the arrow object 32B is large and is within the range of failure. For example, when the arrow object 32B is displayed, it is displayed in a color such as red indicating failure.

[0090] In the second process, as in the first process, objects representing the results of evaluation using the composite index can also be applied. Figure 7 As in the first process, the evaluation results may be expressed using at least one of the color and size of the object. Furthermore, an arrow object 32 may be displayed for evaluation results with a directional indicator, and a sphere object 34 may be displayed for evaluation results without a directional indicator.

[0091] In addition, the arrow object 32A indicating the offset amount and offset direction of each of parts A and B and the arrow object 32B indicating the workmanship quality of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite index can be switched and displayed. Figure 10 Whether to switch display or to display simultaneously can also be selected by the user. Figure 10 This figure shows an example in which arrow objects 32A indicating the offset amounts and offset directions of parts A and B and arrow objects 32B indicating the workmanship quality of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite index are simultaneously displayed.

[0092] The result of evaluation using the composite index may also be a predetermined determination result based on a combination of the evaluation results of the indexes for each object. Furthermore, when displaying an object, the object may be displayed in a predetermined color based on the determination result.

[0093] For example, as an example of a composite index, the evaluation of the workmanship quality of part B relative to part A is as follows: Figure 11 The object is evaluated and displayed as shown. Figure 11 This is a diagram showing an example of a method for evaluating the workmanship quality of part B relative to part A and an example of a method for displaying an object as an example of a composite index. Figure 11 The example of using an existing product as part A and a new material product made of a new material as part B is shown.

[0094] exist Figure 11 In the example, the case where both the current product and the new product are within the specifications and the deviation between the size of the new product and the size of the current product is within 70% of the specifications is evaluated as judgment A1 and displayed as a green object.

[0095] In addition, when both the current product and the new product are within the specifications and the deviation between the dimensions of the new product and the current product exceeds 70% of the specifications, it is evaluated as judgment A2 and displayed as a yellow-green object.

[0096] In addition, the case where the current product is out of specification and the new material product is within specification is evaluated as B1 and displayed as a yellow object.

[0097] In addition, when both the current product and the new product are out of specification and the dimension of the new product is within (current product dimension - nominal value)*5%, it is evaluated as judgment B2 and displayed in orange.

[0098] In addition, when both the current product and the new product are out of specification and the dimension of the new product exceeds (current product dimension - nominal value)*5%, it is evaluated as judgment C and displayed in vermilion.

[0099] In addition, when both the current product and the new material product are out of specification, it is evaluated as a judgment D and displayed as a red object.

[0100] In addition, regarding the measurement result of the offset amount relative to the three-dimensional model 30, for example, Figure 12 As shown in the upper side, sometimes all the measurement results are within the acceptable range (tolerance) relative to the three-dimensional model 30, but the deviation is large. Figure 12 As shown on the lower side, there may be measurement results that are not within the acceptable range relative to the three-dimensional model 30, but the variation is small. Figure 12 This is a diagram showing examples of manufacturing quality indicators of shaped objects.

[0101] like Figure 12 As shown below, even if there is a result indicating an unacceptable offset from the three-dimensional model 30, if the deviation is extremely small (for example, smaller than a preset threshold), the result may be considered acceptable in consideration of cost-effectiveness, etc. This evaluation can be performed in the second process.

[0102] Figure 13 1 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the second process performed in the information processing system 10 of this embodiment. In addition, for example, when the client terminal 12 is operated to select the part to be evaluated and the second process is instructed, the process starts. Figure 13 processing.

[0103] In step S200 , the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30 and proceeds to step S202 . For example, the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30 as the evaluation target stored in advance in the server 14 as the DB 26 .

[0104] In step S202, CPU 12A determines whether two parts to be evaluated are selected. This determination is made, for example, using a list box (not shown) displaying a list of parts. The process waits until this determination is affirmative, then proceeds to step S204.

[0105] In step S204 , the CPU 12A acquires the measurement values ​​of the two parts, and the process proceeds to step S206 . That is, the acquisition unit 20 acquires the measurement values ​​of the target parts stored in the server 14 as the DB 26 , for example.

[0106] In step S206, the CPU 12A evaluates the measured value using the composite index and proceeds to step S208. That is, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measured value using the composite index obtained by synthesizing the evaluation results of the index for evaluating the manufacturing quality of each molded object. Figure 11 As shown, each part is evaluated and judged.

[0107] In step S208, the CPU 12A displays the object indicating the evaluation result and proceeds to step S210. That is, the display processing unit 24 performs the following processing: Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, an arrow object 32 is displayed at a position corresponding to the measurement site on the prototype three-dimensional model 30. The arrow object 32 is an example of an object indicating the result of evaluation using the synthesis index.

[0108] In step S210, CPU 12A determines whether another part has been selected. This determination may be made, for example, by using the list box (not shown) or the like. If this determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S212. If this determination is negative, such as when an instruction to terminate is given, the series of processes ends.

[0109] In step S212, CPU 12A determines whether the three-dimensional model 30 of the selected other part is the same as the three-dimensional model 30 evaluated so far. If this determination is negative, the process returns to step S200 and repeats the above process. If this determination is positive, the process returns to step S202 and repeats the above process.

[0110] By performing the second process in this manner and confirming the displayed object indicating the evaluation result of the composite index, a plurality of mutually different indexes for evaluating the manufacturing quality can be confirmed at once.

[0111] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the method of expressing the shape, color, size, etc. of the displayed object may be determined according to the priority of the index to be emphasized.

[0112] In addition, in the above embodiment, the information processing system 10 is described as including the client terminal 12 and the server 14, but it may also be as follows. Figure 14 As shown, a single device such as a general-purpose personal computer (PC) 50 including a display unit 50H and an operation unit 50S such as a keyboard and a mouse is used as the information processing system.

[0113] In addition, in the above embodiment, the processor refers to a processor in a broad sense, including a general-purpose processor (such as a CPU, etc.) or a special-purpose processor (such as a GPU: Graphics Processing Unit (graphics processor), ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit (application-specific integrated circuit), FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array (field programmable gate array), programmable logic device, etc.).

[0114] Furthermore, the operations of the processors in the above embodiments may be performed not only by a single processor but also by a plurality of processors located in physically separate locations collaborating to perform the operations. Furthermore, the order of the operations of the processors is not limited to that described in the above embodiments but may be changed as appropriate.

[0115] Furthermore, the “system” in the present embodiment is described as a system composed of a plurality of devices as an example, but the system may also be composed of a single device having some functions of the plurality of devices.

[0116] Furthermore, the processing performed in the information processing system 10 of the above-described embodiment may be performed by software, hardware, or a combination of both. Furthermore, the processing performed in the information processing system 10 may be stored as a program in a storage medium and distributed.

[0117] The present invention is not limited to the above, and can of course be implemented with various modifications other than the above without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
