Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a processing position designation system for electric / electronic equipment storage boxes such as boards, racks, control panels, and switchboards. [Background technology]

[0002] As described in Patent Document 1, a cabinet manufacturer prepares a server having a database of cabinets (housings). A system is constructed so that a customer's terminal can be connected to such a server via a network. By connecting the server and the terminal, the customer can specify the processing of the cabinet using the terminal. More specifically, the shape of each surface of a large number of cabinets and the processing / placement prohibited areas where hole processing is not possible on each surface are registered in the cabinet database of the server. A cabinet to be processed for hole processing is selected from the cabinet database from the terminal, and the hole shape to be processed is placed on the surface of the selected cabinet, and the server automatically reads the position of the hole shape and judges whether the hole processing position is appropriate by comparing it with the processing / placement prohibited areas of the cabinet database. Such processing / placement prohibited areas of the cabinet are set for parts that cannot maintain the strength and sealing properties of the cabinet, and parts areas for options (stud bolts, handles, drawing holders, etc.) to be mounted on the cabinet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-182427 A

[0004] Incidentally, the processing / placement prohibited area set as the part area is set in advance as an option to be installed in the cabinet, but when actually ordering the cabinet, it may be necessary to consider the installation method according to the placement of the cabinet. For example, it may be necessary to consider the installation of external accessories such as mounting brackets used to fix the cabinet to a wall or pole, a base for self-supporting, and metal fittings for preventing the cabinet from falling over. In that case, in addition to specifying the hole processing positions of the parts to be attached to the cabinet, it is necessary to specify the mounting holes of the external accessories to be attached to the outside of the cabinet. However, in the conventional system, such a thing is not supported, and the external accessories cannot be considered in the system. Therefore, when an external accessory is required, a separate response that is not supported in the system is required. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The inventor of the present invention has made intensive research into this issue and attempted to solve it. The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a processing position designation system for an electric / electronic device storage box that enables designation of an external accessory device to be attached to the outside of the cabinet of the electric / electronic device storage box, and enables hole processing and part designation after reflecting a processing / placement prohibited area in accordance with the attachment of the external accessory device on the cabinet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The embodiment of the invention will be described below. As can be understood from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the processing position designation system 1 for an electric / electronic device storage box of the present embodiment includes a storage means 11 storing "a cabinet database Cdb having information on the shape of the cabinet of the electric / electronic device storage box and information on processing / placement prohibited areas on each side of the cabinet where processing or placement is not possible" and a shape pattern database Sdb having information on the shape pattern of the hole shape to be processed in the cabinet or information on the shape pattern of the parts" and "a calculation means 12 capable of performing calculations using information input by a user to combine the information on the shape of the cabinet stored in the storage means 11 with the information on the shape pattern stored in the storage means 11 to display a layout on a screen." The processing position designation system 1 for an electric / electronic device storage box also includes an external accessory device input means 51 capable of identifying an external accessory device to be attached to the outside of the cabinet, and an external accessory device prohibited area setting means 52 capable of identifying the position of the processing / placement prohibited area required to attach the external accessory device identified using the external accessory device input means 51 to the cabinet." This makes it possible to provide a processing position designation system 1 for electrical and electronic equipment storage boxes that enables specification of external accessories to be attached to the outside of the cabinet of the electrical and electronic equipment storage box, reflects processing / placement prohibited areas in accordance with the attachment of the external accessories in the cabinet, and enables hole processing and part designation.

[0014] The processing position designation system 1 for electric / electronic device storage boxes of the embodiment uses the output / display means 13 provided in the server 10 prepared by the manufacturer to display a dedicated software screen on the customer's terminal 40. A user such as a customer uses the input means 42 to input information about a desired cabinet while looking at the screen displayed on the terminal 40. In this way, a cabinet that matches or is similar to the input information is identified from a database prepared by the manufacturer. In addition, design such as hole processing and part arrangement for the identified cabinet can be performed via a network. Note that ordering work can also be performed using this system 1.

[0015] As can be seen from Fig. 1, a manufacturer's server 10 is connected to a customer's terminal 40 such as a PC or tablet via a network. Typically, the terminal 40 is equipped with a monitor 41, an input means 42 such as a keyboard, and a movement means 43 such as a mouse or arrow keys on the keyboard. Well-known devices can be used for these.

[0016] The server 10 shown in Fig. 1 includes a calculation means 12 that performs calculations based on input contents, an output / display means 13 that outputs and displays the calculation results on a monitor 41 of a terminal 40, and a storage means 11 in which information on cabinets, parts, etc. is stored as a database. The calculation means 12 can perform calculations to access various databases based on the input information. The output / display means 13 can change the display displayed on the terminal 40 based on the results calculated by the calculation means 12. For example, a processor that displays on the monitor 41 on the customer side corresponds to the output / display means 13. The storage means 11 can store not only the database of cabinets and parts, but also graphic patterns created by the customer, drawings created, etc., and can be exemplified by a non-volatile memory.

[0017] 1 and 2, the storage means 11 is provided with a cabinet database Cdb having information on the shape of the cabinet and information on processing / placement prohibited areas, which is information on areas on each surface of the cabinet where processing or placement is prohibited. The storage means 11 is also provided with a parts database Pdb that stores parts to be installed and formed inside and outside the cabinet. The storage means 11 is also provided with a shape pattern database Sdb that has information on hole shape patterns to be processed in the cabinet and information on the shapes of parts to be welded to the cabinet.

[0018] The cabinet database Cdb and the parts database Pdb may be databases that register the part numbers, shapes, drawing data, prices, etc., of the cabinets and parts that manufacturers use as standard products. Each database does not need to be provided separately, and each database may be included in one large database.

[0019] The shape pattern database Sdb has information regarding hole shapes, part shapes, and processing / placement prohibited areas set around the hole shape edges and part edges, but it may also be possible to configure a database that includes the shape pattern database Sdb and other databases.

[0020] These databases can be used for designing storage boxes for electric and electronic equipment. A user inputs information related to the specifications of a desired cabinet and parts to be mounted in the cabinet using a terminal 40. For example, the user inputs the desired cabinet size and product number using input means 42, and selects the search button (see FIG. 3).

[0021] For such a task, the calculation means 12 selects a matching or similar cabinet from the cabinet database Cdb. For example, if there is a matching cabinet part number, the corresponding cabinet is selected. The selected cabinet is displayed on the terminal 40 using the output / display means 13. If there is no cabinet in the cabinet database Cdb that matches the input contents, it is preferable to display the part number of a cabinet with similar contents. It may also be displayed that the item is a custom-made product.

[0022] When determining the specifications of a cabinet, it is preferable to be able to specify the paint color of the inside of the cabinet, whether or not a circuit board is to be used, how the door is to be attached, whether or not a drawing holder is to be used, whether or not holes are to be drilled, etc. (See FIG. 4). When a user inputs that he or she would like to perform "hole drilling," it is preferable to move the content displayed on terminal 40 to a screen for hole drilling. In the example shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the "hole drilling" button is selected or "yes" is selected for "hole drilling," the content displayed on terminal 40 is moved to the screen for hole drilling.

[0023] In the embodiment, when drilling holes in a selected cabinet or specifying the part positions, the content as shown in Fig. 5 is displayed on the screen of the monitor 41. The user can specify the drilling position using the screen displayed in this way.

[0024] Fig. 5 shows an example in which one area diagram of a cabinet is displayed on the screen. This area diagram is for the front side of the cabinet selected from the housing information input by the user using the input means 42. In the embodiment, area diagrams for multiple sides, such as the front side, the left side side, and the right side, can be selected. In the example shown in Fig. 5, the area diagram can be selected by selecting a tab, but other methods may be used to select the area diagram.

[0025] The selected area diagram is called up using the calculation means 12 and displayed on the terminal 40 using the output / display means 13, and the position can be specified by operating the input means 42 to place a hole shape pattern or a part on the displayed area diagram. After the position is specified in this way, it is determined whether or not it is possible to place the hole shape or part at the specified position. This determination can be made by the calculation means 12 (see FIG. 6).

[0026] In order to make it possible to distinguish between processing / placement possible areas (areas where processing or placement is permitted) and processing / placement prohibited areas (areas set as areas where processing or placement cannot be performed) on the screen of the terminal 40, it is preferable to display these areas so that they are attached to the six-sided drawings of the cabinet and the components. In this way, it becomes easy to specify the positions of the hole shapes and part materials (welding materials).

[0027] If the hole shape or the specified position of a part component overlaps with a processing / placement prohibited area, it is preferable to display a message indicating that placement is not possible. For example, it is preferable to display a warning message informing the user that conditions that cannot be implemented have been set. If the result of the placement possibility judgment can be visually confirmed, it becomes easier to understand the result.

[0028] In the embodiment, an external accessory input unit 51 is provided as an option so that the user can specify a required external accessory (see FIG. 7). Also, an external accessory prohibited area setting unit 52 is provided to set a processing / placement prohibited area according to the external accessory.

[0029] It is preferable that the external accessory device input means 51 is capable of displaying a list of selectable external accessory devices. The external accessory device input means 51 of the embodiment allows the user to select and input a required external accessory device from the displayed list.

[0030] Various external accessory devices are conceivable, such as a base, a tip-over prevention bracket, or a connecting cabinet (see FIG. 7). Of course, the external accessory device is not limited to these, and may be any device that can be attached to the outer surface of the cabinet to be attached. In the embodiment, the parts database Pdb contains drawings, mounting hole positions, sizes, and the like for various external accessory devices. The database may contain settings for cabinets that can accommodate various external accessory devices, and settings for cabinet sizes that can accommodate various external accessory devices.

[0031] The cabinet needs to have a machining / placement prohibited area set corresponding to the mounting holes of the external accessory device. When the external accessory device is specified by input, selection, or the like, the external accessory device prohibited area setting means 52 of the embodiment sets the external accessory device prohibited area, which is the machining / placement prohibited area for the external accessory device, in a necessary location of the specified cabinet. Note that when specifying another hole machining, even if an attempt is made to place it in a position that overlaps with the external accessory device prohibited area, such placement is set not to be possible.

[0032] For example, if a base is set as the external accessory device, an external accessory device prohibited area is set corresponding to the mounting hole for the base provided on the bottom surface of the cabinet. Also, an external accessory device prohibited area may be set corresponding to the mounting hole for the anti-tip fitting provided on the back panel. In this case, the mounting hole for the anti-tip fitting may be set at a height of 〇 mm from the installation surface.

[0033] In addition, in the embodiment, an external accessory change means 53 is provided that allows the size of the base that serves as the external accessory to be changed. In the embodiment, the height of the external accessory can be changed by inputting a numerical value using the input means 42. Of course, it is not necessary to limit the change to the height, and other lengths may be freely changed. In this way, the range of choices for the external accessory can be expanded.

[0034] In addition, if a change in size causes a determination that there is a problem with maintaining the mounting hole settings in the state they were in before the change, it is preferable that the external accessory device prohibited area is also automatically changed.

[0035] As can be understood from these descriptions, it is preferable to provide an external accessory modification means 53 that makes it possible to change the size of an external accessory attached to the outside of the cabinet, and to configure the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 to be able to set a processing / placement prohibited area in the cabinet according to the size of the external accessory changed using the external accessory modification means 53.

[0036] Incidentally, it is conceivable to select a base and anti-tip fittings for the external accessory device (see FIG. 8). When a base and anti-tip fittings are selected for the external accessory device, changing the size of the base will also change the size of the structure in which the cabinet and base are combined. For this reason, it may be necessary to change the position of the mounting holes for the selected anti-tip fittings (see FIG. 9 and FIG. 10). In the embodiment, when the size of the base is changed using the external accessory device changing means 53, the position of the mounting holes for the anti-tip fittings is automatically changed as necessary.

[0037] In this way, when multiple external accessory devices are set, changing the settings of one of the external accessory devices may affect the installation locations of the other external accessory devices, etc. In order to reduce the burden on the user in terms of such effects, it is preferable to automatically reconfigure the processing / placement prohibited areas of the other external accessory devices in response to a change in the external accessory device.

[0038] Therefore, it is preferable that the external accessory input means 51 is capable of identifying a plurality of external accessory devices to be attached to the outside of the cabinet, the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 is capable of identifying the position in the cabinet of the processing / placement prohibited area corresponding to each external accessory device, and the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 is configured such that, when the size of one external accessory device is changed using the external accessory change means 53, the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 is capable of automatically changing the processing / placement prohibited areas of other external accessory devices to match the change.

[0039] Furthermore, in the embodiment, when the combined height of the electrical / electronic device storage box and the base is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and is different from the corresponding height of the selected anti-tip fitting, the external accessory change means 53 automatically changes the type of the corresponding anti-tip fitting (see Figs. 11 and 12). Also, the mounting holes of the changed anti-tip fitting are automatically changed. In this case, when multiple external accessory devices are selected, if the size of one of the external accessory devices is changed so that the other external accessory devices are no longer suitable, the type may be automatically changed. In this case, the changed content may be displayed on the terminal 40, or a message indicating that a change is necessary may be displayed on the terminal 40.

[0040] As can be understood from these descriptions, it is preferable that the external accessory input means 51 is capable of identifying a plurality of external accessory devices to be attached to the outside of the cabinet, the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 is capable of identifying the position in the cabinet of the processing / placement prohibited area corresponding to each external accessory device, and the external accessory change means 53 is configured to automatically change the types of other external accessory devices to match a change in size of one external accessory device.

[0041] Of course, if the size of the electrical / electronic device storage box is changed after the electrical / electronic device storage box and base have been selected, and the size exceeds a specified size, it is preferable to change the mounting holes of the anti-tip fittings using the external accessory change means 53.

[0042] In the above example, a base is used as the first external accessory device among the multiple external accessory devices, and a tip-over prevention bracket is used as the second external accessory device, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the first external accessory device may be a ceiling spacer or wheels (see Figs. 13 and 14), and when the size of these devices is changed, the height of the box for storing electrical and electronic equipment may be changed. In addition, the second external accessory device may be a wall mounting bracket or a connecting cabinet mounting bracket, and the number of mounting brackets may be changed by changing the ceiling spacer, etc.

[0043] In addition to changing the height of an external accessory device, a change in width, etc., may also require changes to the mounting positions, types, and quantities of other external accessory devices. In this case, too, these may be automatically changed accordingly.

[0044] For example, if the first external accessory device is a connecting cabinet capable of storing documents, etc., and the width of the connecting cabinet is changed, the width of the combination of the electrical / electronic device storage box and the connecting cabinet will change, and the type of the second external accessory device such as a roof, spacers, and mounting brackets, and the positions of mounting holes, etc., may also change (see FIG. 15). In this case, too, it is preferable to configure the system so that changes related to the second external accessory device are made automatically. Of course, changes related to one external accessory device that affect the type and mounting method of other external accessory devices are not limited to changes related to height and width.

[0045] Furthermore, when the size of the cabinet is changed, the type of external accessory device or the processing / placement prohibited area may be changed accordingly. This is because a change in the size of the cabinet may make it impossible to use an external accessory device that has already been specified. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a cabinet change means 61 that allows the size of the cabinet to be changed, and to have a configuration that allows the type of external accessory device or the processing / placement prohibited area to be automatically changed in accordance with the change in the size of the cabinet.

[0046] In any case, when an external accessory is specified and the external accessory prohibited area specified by the external accessory prohibited area setting means 52 for that external accessory overlaps with the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​the cabinet, it is impossible to perform hole processing in the external accessory prohibited area. For this reason, in this situation, it is preferable to determine that the external accessory cannot be installed and to display a display that prompts the user to change the type and size of the external accessory. In this way, it is possible to confirm whether the external accessory can be attached to the cabinet (see FIG. 16).

[0047] Here, an example of how to use the processing position designation system 1 for electric / electronic device storage boxes will be described with reference to a flow diagram. First, a user inputs information about a cabinet and information about an external accessory device (S101). As a result, the cabinet and other items are specified (S102). The cabinet information is then expanded (S103).

[0048] Then, it is confirmed whether or not holes need to be drilled in the cabinet (S104). If it is confirmed that holes need to be drilled in the cabinet, an area diagram for specifying the hole positions is displayed (S105). Also, a prohibited area for processing / placing external accessory devices (prohibited area for external accessory devices) is displayed on the area diagram (S106). In this state, the user specifies the hole positions (S107).

[0049] After step 107, it is checked whether there is an overlap between the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​the specified hole and the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​the cabinet (S108). If there is an overlap, the user re-specifies the hole position. If there is no overlap, it is checked whether the external accessory device has been changed (S109). If there has been a change to the external accessory device, the changed external accessory device and the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​that external accessory device (external accessory device prohibited area) are displayed (S110). As a result, it is checked whether there is an overlap between the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​the specified hole and the processing / placement prohibited area of ​​the external accessory device (external accessory device prohibited area) (S111).

[0050] If there is an overlap between the designated hole processing / placement prohibited area and the external accessory processing / placement prohibited area (external accessory device prohibited area), the user re-specifies the hole position. Note that if it is not confirmed in step 104 that the cabinet needs to be drilled, or if it is not confirmed in step 109 that there is a change in the external accessory device, the steps from those steps to step 111 are unnecessary and are therefore skipped.

[0051] Although the present invention has been described above by taking the embodiment as an example, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be embodied in various forms. For example, the base may be in the form of a stand or a box in which the air conditioning equipment is housed. [Explanation of symbols]
