TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rapid design system, and particularly relates to a shelter rapid design system and method based on modularization and serialization components. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shelter provides a comfortable operating environment for radar operators and a good working environment for the equipment in the shelter, and is an important part of the radar system. The radar products have the characteristics of multiple types, large differences in equipment composition, and various internal installations and layouts. The current shelter design process is as follows:

[0003] 1) First, the type of the shelter (right-angle shelter, cut-angle shelter, extended shelter, etc.) is preliminarily determined, and the type and quantity of the main functional carriers of the shelter, such as cabinets, display and control consoles, air conditioners, etc., are estimated.

[0004] 2) Then, the preliminary layout design of the shelter is performed, that is, the positions of the main functional carriers are arranged, and the size of the shelter (such as length, width, height, and partition position) is determined.

[0005] 3) According to the size and layout of the shelter, the three-dimensional modeling of the shelter body is performed, the modeling and assembly of the display and control console, cabinet, air conditioner and other equipment are completed, and according to the layout and space utilization rate, auxiliary functional components (such as accessory cabinet, fire extinguisher, civil tool, flip seat, sofa, hook, temperature and humidity instrument, etc.) are installed.

[0006] 4) The industrial design personnel use the three-dimensional model of the shelter assembly to attach colors and materials to each model, set the environment and scene, and then render the effect picture. The user and the expert evaluate the appearance and usability of the shelter according to the effect picture and the three-dimensional model, and propose improvement suggestions.

[0007] 5) According to the above improvement suggestions, the process of 2)~4) is repeated until the shelter design meets the requirements.

[0008] According to the general design method, the shelter design has the problems of low efficiency, repetition and dispersion. Mainly including: a) The modeling of the carrier, component and shelter body is completed manually in series, the total assembly level integration of the shelter is completed, the effect picture is rendered, and the design efficiency is low. b) The existing design experience, design criteria and unified structure elements are not effectively integrated into the design method, the design level and experience exist difference, which will cause the low quality of the shelter design. c) The adjustment of the equipment and appearance in the product research and development process needs to adjust the three-dimensional model of the carrier and the layout assembly, the repeated three-dimensional modeling and assembly design workload is large, and the scheme updating iteration is slow.

[0009] Patent 1: Application number: CN202010414827.2, invention name: an electronic equipment intelligent assembly system and method, which calls basic data model and layout information according to product configuration table, automatically matches and assembles existing sub-modules in product management data system, and has high assembly efficiency. However, it cannot modify the sub-modules in real time during assembly, and needs to newly create sub-modules and import them into the product management data system in advance. The assembly method requires that the layout information of each sub-module be given in advance, and the space capacity and layout information cannot be adjusted during the assembly process. The composition and layout of various modules in the shelter are diverse, and need to be quickly and flexibly adjusted during design.

[0010] Patent 2: Application number: CN202010414826.8, invention name: a structure model derivation system and method, which provides a method for quickly generating different size models of similar structures through parameterized models, but cannot find similar structure models for new structures, and needs to carry out new design. The module composition and installation position in the shelter are diverse, and the number of structure types that can be formed is large, so it is difficult to meet the diversified design requirements of the shelter by parameterizing all shelter structure types.

[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a system that can meet the rapid design of diversified shelters. SUMMARY

[0012] To solve the existing technical problems, the present application provides a shelter rapid design system and method based on modular and serialized components.

[0013] The specific content of the present application is as follows: the composition of the shelter is classified into the following functional modules according to function: cabin body, equipment carrier and auxiliary component.

[0014] The cabin body is the basis for installing equipment in the shelter. The cabin body is divided into the following series according to the shape: right-angle cabin, chamfered cabin and expanded cabin. The right-angle cabin and chamfered cabin have three commonly used standard specifications of 4 meters, 6 meters and 8 meters in length; the chamfered cabin has two commonly used standard specifications of 6 meters and 8 meters in length. The standard size of width is 2.438 meters, and the standard size of height is 2.438 meters. Other lengths, heights and widths are non-standard specifications. The three-dimensional model of the eight standard specification shelters is constructed in a parameterized manner, which is convenient for direct selection during shelter design; at the same time, the size parameters such as width, depth and height can be set to quickly generate a three-dimensional model of a non-standard specification shelter.

[0015] The equipment carrier is the equipment that realizes the main purpose of the shelter, and its size is large, so the number and installation position directly affect the overall layout inside the shelter. The equipment carrier is classified according to its purpose: display console, cabinet, cooling equipment.

[0016] The display and control console is a human-computer interaction platform for information display and device control, and is divided into the following series according to the number of screens and the opening direction: single screen right opening door, single screen left opening door, upper and lower double screens left opening door, upper and lower double screens right opening door, horizontal double screens right opening door and horizontal double screens left opening door. Each display and control console is a unified type device, and the three-dimensional model thereof cannot be changed.

[0017] The cabinet is divided into 19-inch and 24-inch standard series according to the width. The depth standard series includes 500 mm, 600 mm, 700 mm and 800 mm. The height is divided into 19U, 31U, 32U and 36U according to the available space. Other sizes are non-standard cabinets. The three-dimensional model of the above 32 kinds of commonly used standard cabinets is parameterized in advance, which is convenient for direct assembly during the design of the shelter, and meanwhile, the size parameters such as width, depth and height can be set to quickly generate the three-dimensional model of the non-standard cabinet.

[0018] The cooling device includes 5KW and 10KW standard air conditioners, other power non-standard air conditioners and other cooling devices. Each cooling device is a unified type device. During the design of the shelter, the type and quantity of the cooling device are determined according to the heat consumption of the display and control console and the cabinet and the solar radiation (related to the size of the cabin body).

[0019] The auxiliary components refer to devices or components that realize secondary functions or improve the appearance effect, and can be selected according to the space use condition and needs. The device (component) size is small, the installation position is flexible, and the adjustment is flexible, which does not affect the overall layout inside the shelter. The auxiliary components include an accessory cabinet, an air outlet grille, a seat, a fire extinguisher, a civil tool, a hook, a seat that can be turned down, a sofa and a temperature and humidity instrument. According to whether the device size needs to be customized and designed, the auxiliary components are divided into two categories of standard parts and non-standard parts. The seat, the fire extinguisher, the civil tool and the hook are standardized designed, the structure size is uniform, the three-dimensional model thereof cannot be changed, and the selection is made according to needs during the design of the shelter. The accessory cabinet is used for placing files, small tools and accessories, and the external size is customized and designed according to the layout space. The air outlet grille is installed outside the air duct and is used for air outlet guiding and appearance improvement, and the external size is customized and designed according to the size of the air duct. The accessory cabinet and the air outlet grille and other non-standard parts are designed by using parameterization, the size can be set according to actual needs, and the three-dimensional model is automatically updated.

[0020] Preferably, the series division and setting of the cabin body, the device carrier and the auxiliary components can be updated and adjusted according to the design needs.

[0021] The rapid design system of the shelter based on the modular and series components of the present application is matched with external product databases and simulation software for operation, and includes a cabin body database module, a device carrier database module, an auxiliary component database module, a shelter finished product database module, a layout module, an intelligent assembly module and a rendering module.

[0022] The cabin database module stores structural templates of right-angled cabins, chamfered cabins and extended cabins; the structural templates include parameterized models, model schematic pictures and configuration files, and the model schematic pictures are used to display the shapes of the corresponding parameterized models and the modifiable sizes.

[0023] The equipment carrier database module stores structural templates of consoles, cabinets and cooling equipment; the structural templates of the consoles and the cooling equipment include models, model schematic pictures and configuration files, and the model schematic pictures are used to display the shapes and sizes of the corresponding models. Further, the cabinet template includes parameterized models, model schematic pictures and configuration files, and the model schematic pictures are used to display the shapes of the corresponding parameterized models and the modifiable sizes.

[0024] The auxiliary component database module stores structural templates of standard components and non-standard components; the structural templates of the standard components include parameterized models, model schematic pictures and configuration files, and the model schematic pictures are used to display the shapes of the corresponding parameterized models, the modifiable sizes, the installation position positioning reference and the positioning size. The structural templates of the non-standard components include models, model schematic pictures and configuration files, and the model schematic pictures are used to display the shapes, sizes, installation position positioning reference and positioning size of the corresponding models.

[0025] The shelter product database module includes parameterized basic models, effect pictures and model schematic pictures of typical shelters. The typical shelter refers to a complete shelter with a high level of preferred design, which is used as a template for subsequent new shelter design to automatically generate shelters with the same or similar composition and layout. The parameterized basic model is to parameterize the size of the complete shelter shape and other modifiable sizes. The model schematic picture is used to display the modifiable sizes of the complete shelter shape.

[0026] The shelter product database module displays the effect of the shelter and obtains parameters such as the size of the shape to quickly generate a three-dimensional model of a similar shelter. The parameters can remain unchanged or be modified. However, after modification, the composition, layout and assembly relationship of each component in the shelter should not be affected, otherwise the generation will fail.

[0027] The layout module includes layout information of partitions, cabinets, consoles and cooling equipment; the partition is to divide the shelter into two areas of equipment room and operation room, the equipment room is used to place cabinets and other equipment with high noise and heat consumption, and the operation room is used to place consoles and other carriers for personnel daily operation. The partition can be none, one or more. The number of air conditioners can be 1-4.

[0028] The intelligent assembly module includes an automatic assembly module and a quick assembly module.

[0029] The rendering module includes several standard rendering perspectives, a cabin database module, a device carrier database module, and the material and color of all models in the auxiliary component database module; the standard ready-to-use perspectives can include a shelter exterior perspective, a shelter interior cross-sectional perspective, and a perspective view, etc.

[0030] There are four preset colors: an appearance color, an inner wall color, an internal device color, and a default color. The appearance color refers to the color of the outer surface of the cabin and the external device, and the commonly used colors include grass green GY04, military green GY06, etc. The inner wall color refers to the color of the inner surface of the cabin, and the commonly used colors include RAL9003, etc. The internal device color refers to the color of the device or component installed inside the shelter, such as a cabinet, a display console main body, and an accessory cabinet, and the commonly used colors include RAL7035, etc. The default color is a fixed color preset by the device or component itself, and no modification is required when rendering the effect picture. The operation interface of the rendering module sets the appearance color, the inner wall color, and the internal device color, and displays a preview picture of the modified color in real time.

[0031] The rendering module obtains the three-dimensional model of the complete shelter from the intelligent assembly module, automatically matches the material and the preset color, and automatically renders the effect picture of the standard perspective of the shelter according to the set color.

[0032] Further, the automatic assembly module obtains the cabin parameterized model from the cabin database, obtains the new cabin type and the outer shape size, obtains the layout information of the partition, the cabinet, the display console, and the cooling device of the selected layout from the layout module, obtains the partition position parameters, obtains the structure templates of the display console, the cabinet, and the cooling device from the device carrier database module and displays them on the interface, and obtains the type, the number, the cabinet size parameters, the cooling device model, and the number of the display console and the cabinet.

[0033] The automatic assembly module obtains the type and the number of the display console and the cabinet, the cabinet size parameters, the cooling device model, and the number, and automatically assembles the new shelter three-dimensional model according to the type, the outer shape size, the layout type, the partition position parameters, the type, the number, and the parameters of the display console, the cabinet, and the cooling device.

[0034] The rapid assembly module obtains the structure templates of the required device or component from the device carrier database module and the auxiliary component database module, or directly calls the structure templates of the typical shelter from the shelter finished product database module, obtains the modifiable size parameters, the installation position positioning reference, and the positioning size, completes the rapid design of the selected auxiliary component according to the size parameters, the positioning reference, and the positioning size, and generates the complete shelter.

[0035] The application also provides a shelter rapid design method based on modular and serialized components, which adopts the above-mentioned shelter rapid design system and includes the following steps:

[0036] The rapid assembly module receives the initial configuration parameters of the shelter;

[0037] The rapid assembly module searches the existing shelter product database according to the shelter configuration parameters, and determines whether there is a same or similar shelter for the to-be-designed shelter;

[0038] If there is, the shelter model is called, and the parameters are set in the interactive interface to generate a new shelter model, and then the required models are selected from the equipment carrier database and the auxiliary component database for installation to finally generate a complete shelter model; if there is not, the automatic assembly module is entered;

[0039] In the automatic assembly module, the type and size of the cabin body are set, the layout module is retrieved, a similar layout is selected, and the equipment carrier related parameters are set;

[0040] The automatic assembly module performs space checking according to the equipment carrier related parameters, the cabin body parameters and the layout information, and automatically assembles to form a new shelter three-dimensional model;

[0041] The rapid assembly module obtains the required components from the auxiliary component database and the equipment carrier database, and quickly completes the assembly;

[0042] If there is no required layout in the layout module, the required cabin body, equipment carrier and auxiliary component are selected in the rapid assembly module to generate a new shelter, and finally the new layout of the shelter is included in the layout module;

[0043] The rendering module automatically renders the effect diagram of multiple standard views of the shelter according to the set color;

[0044] According to the effect diagram and the complete shelter model, it is evaluated whether the shelter meets the requirements.

[0045] Further, the rapid assembly module searches the existing shelter product database according to the shelter configuration parameters, and determines whether there is a same or similar shelter for the to-be-designed shelter, including:

[0046] The rapid assembly module searches the shelter product database according to the type and size of the shelter, the type and quantity of the equipment carrier, and the type and quantity of the cooling equipment, and determines whether there is a same or similar shelter for the to-be-designed shelter by comparing the above parameters.

[0047] Further, the automatic assembly module includes:

[0048] The automatic assembly module obtains the layout information of the partition, the cabinet, the display and control console and the cooling equipment of the selected layout from the layout module;

[0049] The automatic assembly module obtains the partition position parameters;

[0050] The automatic assembly module obtains the type and quantity of the display console and cabinet, cabinet size parameters, and the model and quantity of cooling equipment;

[0051] The automatic assembly module automatically assembles a three-dimensional model of the new cabin based on the type, dimensions, layout, partition location parameters, and the type, quantity, and parameters of the display console, cabinet, and cooling equipment.

[0052] Furthermore, spatial verification includes:

[0053] Based on the width, quantity, and location of the equipment carrier, calculate the required space dimensions of the equipment carrier and compare them with the internal dimensions of the equipment room and operating room of the container. If the required space dimensions of the equipment carrier are smaller than the internal dimensions, then the space dimensions meet the requirements, and the new container three-dimensional model is automatically assembled.

[0054] If the required space for the equipment carrier is larger than the internal dimensions, the system will alarm and the container model will fail to be generated. The container type, size, layout, and the size and quantity of the equipment carrier must be modified until the verification conditions are met.

[0055] Furthermore, based on the renderings and the complete model of the modular cabin, assess whether the cabin meets the requirements; if it does not, adjust the cabin body, layout, and equipment carrier settings in the automatic assembly module, or modify the equipment carrier and auxiliary components in the rapid assembly module until the cabin design meets the requirements.

[0056] This invention modularizes the components of the modular shelter according to their functions, designs each functional unit in a series, establishes a database for each functional module and a shelter layout module, develops a secondary user interface, automatically assembles the shelter and equipment carrier within the system, completes the rapid assembly of various auxiliary components, and uses a rendering module to quickly generate renderings. This unifies and simplifies the entire shelter design process while maintaining flexibility, improving the efficiency and quality of shelter design. It solves the current problems of low efficiency, poor quality, large workload of repetitive modeling, and slow scheme update and iteration in shelter design, meeting the diverse needs for rapid shelter design.

[0068] Combination Figures 1-7 This invention provides a rapid design system and method for modular and serialized components for shelters. The following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrate the technical solution of this application.

[0069] Example 1:

[0070] This invention provides a rapid design system for modular shelters, which serves as an add-on or auxiliary tool to a CAD software platform and operates in conjunction with an external product database and simulation software. In this embodiment, the CAD software used is Creo; the external product database can be deployed locally or on a server.

[0071] The rapid design system for mobile cabins of the present invention includes a cabin body database module, an equipment carrier database module, an auxiliary component database module, a finished mobile cabin database module, a layout module, an intelligent assembly module, and a rendering module. The intelligent assembly module includes an automatic assembly module and a rapid assembly module, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0072] The hull database module stores several hull structure templates for right-angled hulls, beveled hulls, and extended hulls;

[0073] The cabin structure template includes a parametric model, model schematics, and configuration files. The model schematics are used to display the shape and modifiable dimensions of the corresponding parametric model.

[0074] Specifically, right-angle and beveled-angle cabins have three commonly used standard lengths of 4 meters, 6 meters, and 8 meters; beveled-angle cabins have two commonly used standard lengths of 6 meters and 8 meters. The standard width and height are both 2.438 meters. Other lengths, heights, and widths are non-standard specifications. Parametric 3D models of all eight standard cabin specifications are provided for direct selection during cabin design; meanwhile, width, depth, height, and other dimensional parameters can be set to quickly generate 3D models of non-standard cabin specifications.

[0075] The equipment carrier database module stores the structural templates of the display console, cabinet, and cooling equipment.

[0076] The display console and cooling equipment structure template includes a model, model schematics, and configuration files. The model schematics are used to display the shape and size of the corresponding model.

[0077] Specifically, the display and control console is a human-machine interface platform used for information display and equipment control. Based on the number of screens and door opening direction, it is divided into the following series: single-screen right-opening, single-screen left-opening, dual-screen left-opening (top and bottom), dual-screen right-opening (top and bottom), horizontal dual-screen right-opening, and horizontal dual-screen left-opening. Each type of display and control console is a standardized device.

[0078] Specifically, the cooling equipment includes standard 5KW and 10KW air conditioners, non-standard air conditioners of other power ratings, and other cooling equipment. Each type of cooling equipment is a standardized unit.

[0079] The rack template includes a parametric model, model schematics, and configuration files. The model schematics are used to display the shape and modifiable dimensions of the corresponding parametric model.

[0080] Specifically, the racks are divided into standard series based on width: 19 inches and 24 inches. Standard depth series include: 500 mm, 600 mm, 700 mm, and 800 mm. Height is divided into: 19U, 31U, 32U, and 36U based on available space. Other sizes are non-standard racks. Parametric 3D models of these 32 commonly used standard racks are pre-built for easy assembly during shelter design. Width, depth, and height parameters can be set to quickly generate 3D models of non-standard racks.

[0081] The auxiliary component database module stores structural templates for several standard and non-standard parts.

[0082] Specifically, auxiliary components refer to equipment or parts that enable secondary functions or enhance the appearance. They can be selected based on space usage and needs. The equipment (parts) are small in size, flexible in installation location, and can be adjusted flexibly without affecting the overall layout inside the cabin.

[0083] Specifically, auxiliary components include: accessory cabinets, air vent grilles, seats, fire extinguishers, civil engineering tools, hooks, reclining seats, sofas, and temperature and humidity meters, etc. Depending on whether the equipment dimensions require customized design, they are divided into standard and non-standard parts. Seats, fire extinguishers, civil engineering tools, hooks, etc., are standardized in design with uniform structural dimensions; their 3D models cannot be altered, and they are selected as needed during the modular shelter design. Accessory cabinets are used to store documents, small tools, and accessories, and their external dimensions are customized according to the layout space. Air vent grilles are installed on the outside of the air duct for airflow guidance and improved appearance; their external dimensions are customized according to the air duct dimensions. Non-standard parts such as accessory cabinets and air vent grilles are parametrically designed, allowing dimensions to be set according to actual needs, and the 3D model is automatically updated.

[0084] The standard component structure template includes a parametric model, model schematics, and configuration files. The model schematics are used to display the shape, modifiable dimensions, installation location datum, and positioning dimensions of the corresponding parametric model.

[0085] The non-standard component structure template includes a model, model schematics, and configuration files. The model schematics are used to display the shape, size, installation location positioning reference, and positioning dimensions of the corresponding model.

[0086] The layout module includes layout information for partitions, cabinets, display consoles, and cooling equipment, as shown in Figure 3.

[0087] The partition divides the modular housing into two areas: an equipment room and an operating room. The equipment room houses noisy and heat-consuming equipment such as server racks, while the operating room houses display consoles and other facilities for daily operations by personnel.

[0088] There may be no partitions, or there may be one or more partitions.

[0089] The number of air conditioners can be 1 to 4.

[0090] The automated assembly module retrieves the parametric model of the cabin from the cabin database;

[0091] The automated assembly module obtains the new cabin type and dimensions.

[0092] The automatic assembly module obtains the layout information of the partitions, cabinets, display consoles and cooling equipment of the selected layout from the layout module.

[0093] The automatic assembly module obtains the partition position parameters.

[0094] The automatic assembly module retrieves the structural templates of the display console, cabinet, and cooling equipment from the equipment carrier database module and displays them on the interface.

[0095] The automatic assembly module obtains the type and quantity of the display console and cabinet, the cabinet size parameters, and the model and quantity of the cooling equipment.

[0096] The automatic assembly module automatically assembles a three-dimensional model of the new cabin based on the type, dimensions, layout, partition location parameters, and the type, quantity, and parameters of the display console, cabinet, and cooling equipment.

[0097] During automatic assembly, the space dimensions of the cabinets and display consoles are checked to ensure they are not smaller than the space dimensions of their respective compartments, based on the width, quantity, and location of the cabinets and display consoles.

[0098] If not, an alarm will be triggered to remind the user to modify the dimensions, layout type, or partition location parameters of the cabin, as well as the quantity, type, or parameters of the cabinets and display consoles. After the modifications are completed, a space verification will be performed.

[0099] If so, the automatic assembly was successful.

[0100] The rapid assembly module is used to obtain structural templates for required equipment or components from the equipment carrier database module and the auxiliary component database module, or to directly call structural templates for typical modular cabins from the modular cabin finished product database module, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0101] The quick assembly module obtains modifiable dimensional parameters, installation location positioning references, and positioning dimensions.

[0102] The rapid assembly module completes the rapid design and assembly of selected auxiliary components based on dimensional parameters, positioning references, and positioning dimensions.

[0103] The modular hospital finished product database module includes parametric basic models, renderings, and model schematic images of typical modular hospitals.

[0104] Typical modular housing refers to a complete modular housing with a high level of design, which serves as a template for the design of subsequent new modular housings and is used to automatically generate modular housings with the same or similar composition and layout.

[0105] The parametric base model is a parameterized configuration of the complete modular shelter's external dimensions and other modifiable dimensions. The model illustrations are used to display the complete modular shelter's external shape and other modifiable dimensions.

[0106] The rapid assembly module obtains a parametric basic model from the prefabricated modular cabin data module, displays the cabin effect, and obtains parameters such as cabin dimensions, number of equipment carriers, and auxiliary component dimensions to quickly generate a 3D model of a similar modular cabin.

[0107] The parameters can remain unchanged or be modified. However, modifications must not affect the layout and assembly relationships of the components within the modular shelter; otherwise, the generation process will fail.

[0108] The rendering module includes several standard rendering perspectives, as well as the materials and colors of all models in the cabin database module, equipment carrier database module, and auxiliary component database module.

[0109] Standard perspectives can include external views of the mobile shelter, sectional views of the interior of the mobile shelter, and perspective views.

[0110] The rendering module obtains the complete 3D model of the modular cabin from the intelligent assembly module and automatically matches the materials and preset colors.

[0111] There are four preset colors: exterior color, interior wall color, internal equipment color, and overall color.

[0112] The exterior color refers to the color of the outer surface of the cabin and external equipment. Commonly used colors include grass green GY04 and military vehicle green GY06.

[0113] The interior wall color refers to the color of the inner surface of the cabin. Commonly used colors include RAL9003, etc.

[0114] The color of internal equipment refers to the color of equipment or components such as cabinets, display and control consoles, and accessory cabinets installed inside the container. Commonly used colors include RAL7035.

[0115] The default color is a fixed color preset by the device or component itself, and does not need to be modified when rendering the effect picture.

[0116] The rendering module's user interface allows you to set the exterior color, interior wall color, and internal equipment color, and displays a real-time preview of the modified colors.

[0117] The rendering module automatically renders and generates a standard view of the makeshift hospital based on the set colors.

[0118] Example 2:

[0119] To achieve high-quality and rapid design of diverse modular shelters, this invention provides a rapid modular shelter design method, implemented through the rapid modular shelter design system of Embodiment 1. This embodiment is based on the Creo 3D software and implemented through secondary development.

[0120] like Figure 2 As shown, this method specifically includes the following steps:

[0121] (1) Analyze the requirements for mobile cabins and determine the preliminary plan;

[0122] Based on the requirements for container transportation, functional needs, equipment quantity, and heat consumption, the R&D personnel initially determined the type and size of the container, the type and quantity of equipment carriers, and the type and quantity of cooling equipment.

[0123] (2) The rapid assembly module searches the existing modular housing database based on the preliminary plan;

[0124] The rapid assembly module searches the finished container database based on the container type, size, equipment carrier type and quantity, and cooling equipment type and quantity. By comparing the above parameters, it determines whether there are identical or similar containers to the one to be designed.

[0125] If available, call the modular shelter model and set parameters such as the external dimensions of the shelter, the number of equipment carriers, and the dimensions of auxiliary components in the interactive interface, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a new modular shelter model is generated. Then, the required model is selected from the equipment carrier database and auxiliary component database for installation, and finally, a complete modular shelter model is generated. If not, proceed to step (3).

[0126] The modular hospital finished product database module stores typical modular hospital models, renderings, and model schematics with good human-machine interaction and high space utilization.

[0127] (3) In the automatic assembly module, set the cabin type and size, search the layout module, and select the layout, such as... Figure 4 As shown;

[0128] Based on the type and size of the cabin, the type and quantity of equipment carriers, and the type and quantity of cooling equipment, a similar layout is selected in the automatic assembly module. The layout module contains layouts of different cabins, as shown in Figures 3(a)-3(d), which are typical layouts of 2-meter, 4-meter, 6-meter, and 8-meter cabins, respectively. All of them include a display and control console 1, a cabinet 2, and cooling equipment 3. The 6-meter and 8-meter cabins also include a partition 4.

[0129] If the required layout is not available in the layout module, proceed to step (6), select the required cabin, equipment carrier and auxiliary components in the quick assembly module, generate a new cabin, and finally incorporate this new cabin layout into the layout module.

[0130] (4) Set the relevant parameters of the equipment carrier in the automatic assembly module;

[0131] Select the type and quantity of server racks, display consoles, and cooling equipment, and set parameters such as server rack height.

[0132] (5) Spatial verification;

[0133] Based on the width, quantity, and location of the equipment carrier (cabinet, display console, etc.), the required space size of the equipment carrier is calculated and compared with the internal dimensions of the equipment room and operating room of the container. If the required space size of the equipment carrier is smaller than the internal dimensions, the space size meets the requirements, and the new container three-dimensional model is automatically assembled.

[0134] If the required space for the equipment carrier is larger than the internal dimensions, the system will alarm and the container model will fail to be generated. The container type, size, layout (partition positions, etc.), and the size and quantity of the equipment carrier and other related parameters need to be modified until the verification conditions are met.

[0135] (6) Assemble other required equipment carriers and auxiliary components in the rapid assembly module, such as Figure 5 As shown;

[0136] The rapid assembly module retrieves the structural templates of the required components from the auxiliary component database, sets modifiable dimensional parameters, installation position positioning references and positioning dimensions, and then performs assembly.

[0137] The rapid assembly module can also obtain structural templates from the equipment carrier database module to add the required equipment carriers such as cabinets and display consoles to meet special and diverse layout requirements.

[0138] (7) If the required layout is not available in the layout module of step (3), the required structural templates are obtained from the cabin database module, equipment carrier database module and auxiliary component database in the rapid assembly module in sequence, and the rapid assembly of each model is completed in sequence to finally generate a complete cabin.

[0139] If the required cabin is not found in the cabin database module, the assembly process is exited, and the R&D personnel complete the new cabin design, obtaining a parametric model and its corresponding configuration file and model schematic. The obtained parametric model and its corresponding configuration file and model schematic are then added to the cabin database module as a structural template.

[0140] (8) Import the rendering module and render the effect image;

[0141] Import the generated complete 3D model of the shelter into the rendering module. In the rendering module, set the exterior color, interior wall color, and internal equipment color, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the rendering module automatically renders and generates multiple standard view renderings of the shelter based on the set colors.

[0142] (9) Based on the renderings and the complete model of the modular housing, assess whether the modular housing meets the requirements;

[0143] Evaluate whether the appearance, function, and usability of the modular shelter meet the requirements based on the 3D model and renderings.

[0144] If the requirements are not met, adjust the settings of the cabin, layout, and equipment carrier in the automatic assembly module, or modify the equipment carrier and auxiliary components in the rapid assembly module until the cabin design meets the requirements.

[0145] If the mobile cabin meets the requirements, proceed to step (10).

[0146] (10) Determine whether the container belongs to a new layout or a typical container.

[0147] If it is a new layout, create a new layout structure template according to the structure template requirements in the layout module, and add the new layout structure template to the layout module.

[0148] If it is a typical modular housing with a high level of design, according to the requirements of the modular housing finished product database structure template, obtain the parametric model and its corresponding configuration file, renderings and model schematics, and add the new typical modular housing to the modular housing finished product database module.

[0149] Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this invention are: 1) Modular functional units: Modular design of the components of the shelter forms functional components, which can be selected and installed according to actual conditions, improving the standardization of shelter design; 2) Serialized functional units: Serialized design of the modular units of the shelter forms a series, which can be selected and installed according to functional needs, enabling rapid design and assembly of diverse shelters; 3) Parametric design: Parametric design of each functional module of the shelter allows for setting corresponding dimensions according to actual needs, and automatic updating of the structural shape, avoiding repetitive design; 4) Intelligent assembly: Combining automatic assembly and rapid assembly, automatic assembly is performed according to the selected equipment carrier, and rapid assembly of auxiliary components, taking into account both the uniformity and flexibility of shelter design, with a wide range of applications, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of shelter design.
