[Figure 14] FIG. 1 illustrates a general-purpose personal computer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] An example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of an information processing system according to this embodiment.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 1, an information processing system 10 according to this embodiment includes a client terminal 12 and a server 14. The client terminal 12 and the server 14 are each connected to a communication line 16 and are capable of communicating with each other via the communication line 16. Examples of the communication line 16 include the Internet, a local area network (LAN), and a wide area network (WAN). Although Fig. 1 shows an example in which a plurality of client terminals 12 (two in Fig. 1) are provided, the number of client terminals 12 may be one or three or more. The client terminal 12 may be a personal computer or a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone.

[0031] The information processing system 10 according to this embodiment acquires measurement values ​​obtained by measuring inspection target positions of multiple molded products, and then displays, on a three-dimensional model, an object representing the evaluation results using an index for evaluating manufacturing quality, which is derived from the measurement values ​​of the multiple molded products, thereby supporting evaluation of product quality.

[0032] In this disclosure, a shaped product refers to a product processed into a certain shape, such as an industrially produced object such as a part. For example, there are various molding methods, such as injection molding or casting, in which a material is filled into a sealed space in a mold and solidified, press molding, in which a sheet-like material is pressed against a mold to deform the shape, machining using a cutting machine, welding using an arc or laser, and additive manufacturing using a 3D printer. Any shaped object falls within the scope of application of the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment.

[0033] Furthermore, a three-dimensional model refers to a three-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) model, and PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) refers to the product manufacturing information required for manufacturing a product, such as dimensions, tolerances, annotations, surface finish, and materials, which are linked to the three-dimensional model and serve as the reference values ​​for the formed product.

[0034] Measurement is the act of obtaining values ​​such as the position, length, and angle of the object being inspected using a measuring instrument.

[0035] 2 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the electrical systems of the client terminal 12 and the server 14 of the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment. Since the client terminal 12 and the server 14 have a general computer configuration, the following description will be given using the client terminal 12 as a representative.

[0036] The client terminal 12 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 12A as an example of a processor, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12B, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12C, a storage 12D, an operation unit 12E, a display unit 12F, and a communication I / F (Interface) unit 12G. The CPU 12A controls the overall operation of the client terminal 12. The ROM 12B stores various control programs and parameters in advance. The RAM 12C is used as a work area when the CPU 12A executes various programs. The storage 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 is connectable to external devices and transmits and receives various data to and from the external devices. The above-described components of the client terminal 12 are electrically connected to each other via a system bus 12H. In the client terminal 12 according to the present embodiment, the storage 12D is used as a storage unit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other non-volatile storage units such as a hard disk or flash memory may also be used.

[0037] With the above configuration, the client terminal 12 according to this embodiment uses the CPU 12A to access the ROM 12B, the RAM 12C, and the storage 12D, to obtain various data via the operation unit 12E, and to display various information on the display unit 12F. In addition, the client terminal 12 uses the CPU 12A to control the transmission and reception of various data via the communication I / F unit 12G.

[0038] The information processing system 10 according to this embodiment realizes the functions shown in Fig. 3 by causing the CPU 12A of the client terminal 12 to load an information processing program stored in advance in the ROM 12B into the RAM 12C and execute the program. Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment.

[0039] 3, the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment has 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 may also be functions of the server 14.

[0040] The acquiring unit 20 acquires measurement values ​​of a plurality of molded articles. For example, measurement values ​​obtained by measuring predetermined measurement sites of molded articles from different lots or molded articles made of different materials are stored in the server 14 as a DB (database) 26. Then, the acquiring unit 20 acquires the measurement values ​​from the DB 26. The measurement values ​​acquired by the acquiring unit 20 include, for example, measurement values ​​measured in three-dimensional coordinates by a coordinate measuring machine that acquires three-dimensional coordinates by directly contacting an inspection probe with the molded article to be inspected, a coordinate measuring machine that acquires three-dimensional coordinates in a non-contact manner by optically acquiring an image, and measurement values ​​measured by an analog method.

[0041] 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, the amount of deviation from a design value, or the variation, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the measured values, as examples of the index.

[0042] The display processing unit 24 performs processing to display an object representing the evaluation result of the index evaluation unit 22 at a position corresponding to the measurement location on the three-dimensional model. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, an arrow object 32 is displayed as an example of an object at a position corresponding to the measurement location on the three-dimensional model 30. The arrow object 32 indicates, for example, the direction of deviation with an arrow, and expresses the amount of deviation and variation by a display mode such as the size or color of the arrow. The example in FIG. 4 shows an example in which an arrow object 32 representing a deviation (worst value) from a design value is displayed. This makes it easier to grasp trends in the performance of parts and improves the efficiency of analysis. The index to be displayed is selected, for example, by the display settings 31.

[0043] In the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment, in order to simultaneously check the evaluation results of a plurality of indices, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement values ​​using a plurality of different indices for evaluating manufacturing quality. Then, the display processing unit 24 simultaneously displays objects representing the evaluation results obtained by the index evaluation unit 22 at positions corresponding to the measurement points on the original three-dimensional model.

[0044] Furthermore, in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement values ​​using a composite index that is a composite of the evaluation results of the indexes that evaluate the manufacturing quality of each molded product. Then, the display processing unit 24 performs processing to display an object that represents the evaluation result using the composite index at a position on the original three-dimensional model that corresponds to the measurement point.

[0045] Here, the original 3D model is a 3D model created by a designer, a model with theoretically accurate dimensions, and serves as a reference for displaying objects that represent the results of inspection and measurement. The corresponding positions are positions designated by the designer to evaluate the quality of a part, including, for example, positions indicated by tolerance information on a 2D drawing or positions assigned with 3D model attribute information. Hereinafter, the process of simultaneously displaying objects representing the results of evaluation using multiple different indices for assessing manufacturing quality, derived from the measurements of multiple products, at positions corresponding to the measurement points on the original 3D model may be referred to as the "first process." Furthermore, the process of displaying objects representing the results of evaluation using a composite index, which is a composite of the evaluation results of indices for assessing the manufacturing quality of each product, derived from the measurements of multiple products, at positions corresponding to the measurement points on the original 3D model may be referred to as the "second process."

[0046] The first process and the second process may be selectable by the user, or only one of the processes may be performed.

[0047] Examples of the objects include objects in the shape of a circle, triangle, square, etc., and arrow objects. Furthermore, physical quantities such as differential values ​​and deviations from a reference value may be represented by changing the display mode, such as color, size, length, etc. For example, when displaying an arrow object, the direction of deviation from the PMI as the reference value, the direction indicated by the differential value, etc. may be displayed, and at least one of the amount of change in deviation or the determination result of whether or not PMI is necessary may be displayed by changing the color.

[0048] The index evaluation unit 22 may evaluate the equivalence of two parts by comparing the two parts as an index. For example, the difference between the two parts may be calculated. In this case, the display processing unit 24 may display an object corresponding to the difference between the two parts at a position on the three-dimensional model corresponding to the measurement point. This enables not only agreement on the drawing specifications but also evaluation from multiple perspectives, such as pass / fail of the equivalence of the two parts and pass / fail of variation.

[0049] Next, a specific example of the above-mentioned first process performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an object displayed by the first process performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment.

[0050] In the first process, an arrow object 32 and a sphere object 34, which are examples of objects representing the evaluation results of multiple indicators for evaluating manufacturing quality, are simultaneously displayed at positions corresponding to the measurement points on the original three-dimensional model 30.

[0051] As an example of multiple indices, FIG. 5 shows an example in which deviations (worst values ​​and average values) from design values ​​and variations are displayed.

[0052] For example, the deviation from the three-dimensional model 30 is represented by an arrow-shaped arrow object 32, the direction of the deviation is represented by the direction of the arrow, and the amount of deviation is represented by color. On the other hand, the variation is represented by a spherical sphere object 34, and the magnitude of the variation is represented by color. That is, the evaluation result of an index with a direction is represented by the arrow object 32, and the evaluation result of an index without a direction is represented by the sphere object 34. This makes it possible to represent the three evaluation results of the deviation amount, deviation direction, and variation with two objects.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 5, an arrow object 32 and a sphere object 34 are simultaneously displayed at positions corresponding to measurement locations on the three-dimensional model 30. This makes it possible to simultaneously check the evaluation results of multiple indicators, and to grasp the quality of the part in detail and at a bird's-eye view. Note that "simultaneously displaying the arrow object 32 and the sphere object 34" means that each object is displayed together without switching screens.

[0054] For example, as shown in Fig. 5, multiple indicators may be displayed selectably as display settings 31, and the selection result of the indicator to be confirmed may be received and displayed. Furthermore, the evaluation results of multiple indicators may be displayed not only simultaneously but also by switching between them.

[0055] The arrow object 32 and the sphere object 34 are displayed in a position closer to the measurement position than the arrow object 32. This makes it easier to understand the measurement location and to see the evaluation results of the indicators than if they were displayed in the opposite positions. The evaluation results of indicators with a direction are displayed as arrow objects 32, and indicators without a direction are displayed as sphere objects 34.

[0056] 5 shows an example in which the evaluation result of an index is expressed using the color of an object, but the evaluation result of an index may also be expressed using the size of the object. Alternatively, the evaluation result may also be expressed using the color and size of the object. Using the color and size makes it possible to check the evaluation results of even more indexes.

[0057] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the first process performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment. The process in Fig. 6 starts, for example, when the client terminal 12 is operated to select a part to be evaluated and to instruct the first process.

[0058] In step 100, the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30, and the process proceeds to step 102. For example, the three-dimensional model 30 to be evaluated, which is stored in advance as the DB 26 in the server 14, is acquired.

[0059] In step 102, the CPU 12A acquires the measurement values, and the process proceeds to step 104. That is, the acquisition unit 20 acquires the measurement values ​​obtained by measuring predetermined measurement sites of a plurality of molded products, which are stored in the server 14 as the DB 26, for example.

[0060] In step 104, the CPU 12A determines whether multiple indices to be displayed have been selected. This determination is made by determining whether or not the indices to be displayed have been selected using the display settings 31 shown in Fig. 5, for example. The CPU 12A waits until the determination is affirmative, and then proceeds to step 106.

[0061] In step 106, the CPU 12A performs evaluation using the selected index, and then proceeds to step 108. That is, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement results acquired by the acquisition unit 20 using the selected index. For example, the quality of the molded product is evaluated using, as examples of indexes, the amount of deviation from the design value, variation, etc.

[0062] In step 108, the CPU 12A displays objects representing the evaluation results of each index, and then proceeds to step 110. That is, the display processing unit 24 performs processing to simultaneously display objects representing the results evaluated by the index evaluation unit 22 at positions corresponding to the measurement points on the original three-dimensional model. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, an arrow-shaped arrow object 32 represents a deviation from the design value, the direction of the deviation is represented by the direction of the arrow, and the amount of deviation is represented by color. Furthermore, a spherical sphere object 34 represents variation, and the magnitude of the variation is represented by color. This makes it possible to simultaneously check the evaluation results of multiple indexes.

[0063] In step 110, the CPU 12A determines whether another index has been selected. This determination is made, for example, by determining whether another index has been selected using the display settings 31 in Fig. 5. If the determination is positive, the process returns to step 106 and the above-described processing is repeated; if no other index has been selected and an instruction to end or the like has been given, the determination is negative and the series of processing ends.

[0064] By performing the first process in this manner, the objects representing the evaluation results of each of the displayed multiple indices can be checked, allowing multiple different indices for evaluating manufacturing quality to be checked together.

[0065] In this embodiment, the arrow object 32 and the sphere object 34 are used as examples of objects, but the objects are not limited to these. For example, the objects shown in Fig. 7 may be used. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of variations of the objects.

[0066] 7 shows, in addition to the above-mentioned arrow object 32 and sphere object 34, a disk-shaped disk object 36, a circular ring object 38, a cone-shaped cone object 40, and a polygonal pyramid-shaped polygonal pyramid object 42. The objects to be displayed simultaneously may be at least one of the arrow object 32, sphere object 34, disk object 36, ring object 38, cone object 40, and polygonal pyramid object 42 shown in FIG.

[0067] In addition, in this embodiment, the evaluation results of two indicators are represented by an arrow object 32 and a sphere object 34, but the number of indicator evaluation results to be displayed is not limited to two, and may be three or more.

[0068] For example, when displaying the evaluation results of three indices, the multiple objects shown in Fig. 8 are displayed in combination. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example in which objects representing the evaluation results of the three indices are displayed simultaneously.

[0069] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 , three objects may be displayed: an arrow object 32, a sphere object 34, and a disk object 36. In this case, the arrow object 32 represents the evaluation result of the index using at least one of color, direction, and size. The sphere object 34 represents the evaluation result of the index using at least one of color and size. The disk object 36 represents the evaluation result of the index using at least one of color and size. As an example, the amount and direction of deviation with respect to the three-dimensional model 30 may be represented by the color and arrow direction of the arrow object 32, the variation may be represented by the color of the sphere object 34, and the pass / fail determination result for tolerance may be represented by the color of the disk object 36.

[0070] Next, a specific example of the second process described above, which is performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment, will be described. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an object displayed by the second process performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment.

[0071] In the second process, an object representing the evaluation results using a composite index, which is a composite of the evaluation results of the indexes that evaluate the manufacturing quality of each molded product, is displayed at a position corresponding to the measurement point on the original three-dimensional model.

[0072] In the following, an example will be described in which the amount of deviation with respect to the three-dimensional model 30 is applied as an example of an index for each molded product, and the variation in the amount of deviation is applied as an example of a composite index. Fig. 9 shows an example in which an arrow object 32 is displayed at a position corresponding to a measurement point on the three-dimensional model 30 as an example of an object representing the evaluation result using a composite index that combines the evaluation results of the respective indices of part A and part B.

[0073] In the example of FIG. 9, the amount and direction of deviation of each of parts A and B from the three-dimensional model 30 are represented by arrow objects 32A, and each part is displayed in a color that represents the amount of deviation within the acceptable range.

[0074] Furthermore, the performance of part B relative to part A is represented by an arrow object 32B, and it is assumed that the variation in part B relative to part A is large and therefore NG (failure). In the example of Fig. 9, the direction of the arrow object 32B indicates that the variation is large and within the failure range. For example, when displaying the arrow object 32B, it is displayed in a color such as red, which indicates failure.

[0075] In the second process, the objects representing the evaluation results using the composite index may be the various objects shown in Fig. 7, as in the first process. Also, as in the first process, the evaluation results may be expressed using at least one of the color and size of the object. Furthermore, the evaluation results of an index with a direction may be displayed as an arrow object 32, and the evaluation results of an index without a direction may be displayed as a sphere object 34.

[0076] Furthermore, the arrow object 32A representing the amount and direction of deviation of each of parts A and B, and the arrow object 32B representing the performance of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite indicator, may be displayed in a switched manner, or may be displayed simultaneously as shown in Fig. 10. The user may be able to select whether to display them in a switched manner or simultaneously. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example in which the arrow object 32A representing the amount and direction of deviation of each of parts A and B, and the arrow object 32B representing the performance of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite indicator, are displayed simultaneously.

[0077] The evaluation result using the composite index may be a predetermined judgment result determined according to a combination of the evaluation results of the indexes for each of the molded products. Furthermore, when displaying an object, the object may be displayed in a color predetermined according to the judgment result.

[0078] For example, the evaluation of the performance of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite index is performed by evaluating the performance and displaying an object as shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a method for evaluating the performance of part B relative to part A as an example of a composite index and a method for displaying an object. The example in Fig. 11 shows an example in which a current product is used as part A and a new material product manufactured with new material is used as part B.

[0079] In the example of FIG. 11, if both the current product and the new product are within specifications and the deviation of the dimensions of the new product from the current product is within 70% of the specifications, the evaluation is A1 and a green object is displayed.

[0080] Furthermore, if both the current product and the new product are within the specifications and the deviation of the dimensions of the new product from the current product exceeds 70% of the specifications, the evaluation is made as judgment A2 and a yellow-green object is displayed.

[0081] Also, if the current product is out of spec and the new material is in spec, it is evaluated as B1 and a yellow object is displayed.

[0082] In addition, if both the current product and the new material are out of spec and are within (current material dimensions - nominal value) * 5%, the evaluation is made as judgment B2 and an orange object is displayed.

[0083] In addition, if both the current product and the new material are out of spec and exceed (current material dimensions - nominal value) * 5%, the evaluation is made as judgment C and a vermilion object is displayed.

[0084] Furthermore, if both the current product and the new material are out of spec, the evaluation is made as D and a red object is displayed.

[0085] Note that the measurement results of the amount of deviation with respect to the three-dimensional model 30 may be all within the acceptable range (tolerance) with respect to the three-dimensional model 30 but may have large variations, as shown in the upper part of Fig. 12. On the other hand, as shown in the lower part of Fig. 12, there may be some deviations that are not within the acceptable range with respect to the three-dimensional model 30 but may have small variations. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing examples of manufacturing quality indexes of a molded product.

[0086] 12, even if the amount of deviation from the three-dimensional model 30 is unacceptable, if the variation is extremely small (for example, smaller than a predetermined threshold value), the product may be judged as acceptable in consideration of cost-effectiveness, etc. In the second process, it becomes possible to perform such an evaluation.

[0087] Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the second process performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment. The process in Fig. 13 starts, for example, when the client terminal 12 is operated to select a part to be evaluated and to instruct the second process.

[0088] In step 200, the CPU 12A acquires the three-dimensional model 30, and the process proceeds to step 202. For example, a three-dimensional model of the evaluation target that is stored in advance as the DB 26 in the server 14 is acquired.

[0089] In step 202, the CPU 12A determines whether two parts to be evaluated have been selected. This determination is made by determining whether two parts have been selected using, for example, a list box (not shown) that displays a parts list. The CPU 12A waits until the determination is affirmative, and then proceeds to step 204.

[0090] In step 204, CPU 12A acquires the measurement values ​​of the two parts, and the process proceeds to step 206. That is, acquisition unit 20 acquires the measurement values ​​of the target parts stored as DB 26 in server 14, for example.

[0091] In step 206, the CPU 12A performs evaluation using the composite index, and then proceeds to step 208. That is, the index evaluation unit 22 evaluates the measurement value using a composite index that is a combination of the evaluation results of the indexes that evaluate the manufacturing quality of each molded product. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, each part is evaluated and judged.

[0092] In step 208, the CPU 12A displays an object representing the evaluation result, and the process proceeds to step 210. That is, the display processing unit 24 performs processing to display an arrow object 32, which is an example of an object representing the result of evaluation using the composite index, at a position corresponding to the measurement point on the original three-dimensional model 30, as shown in Fig. 9 or 10 .

[0093] In step 210, the CPU 12A determines whether another part has been selected. This determination is made by determining whether another part has been selected using, for example, the above-mentioned list box (not shown). If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 212, and if an instruction to end or the like is given and the result is negative, the series of processes ends.

[0094] In step 212, the CPU 12A determines whether the three-dimensional model 30 that has been evaluated up until now is the same as the three-dimensional model 30. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 200 and the above-described processing is repeated, and if the determination is positive, the process returns to step 202 and the above-described processing is repeated.

[0095] By performing the second process in this way, multiple different indices for evaluating manufacturing quality can be checked together by checking the displayed object that represents the evaluation result of the composite indices.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the representation method of the object to be displayed, such as the shape, color, size, etc., of the object may be determined according to the priority of the index to be emphasized.

[0097] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the information processing system 10 is described as including the client terminal 12 and the server 14, but as shown in FIG. 14, a single device such as a general-purpose personal computer (PC) 50 equipped with a display unit 50H and an operation unit 50S such as a keyboard and a mouse may also be applied as the information processing system.

[0098] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the term "processor" refers to a processor in a broad sense, and includes general-purpose processors (e.g., CPUs, etc.) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic device, etc.).

[0099] Furthermore, the operations of the processors in the above embodiments may not only be performed by a single processor, but may also be performed by multiple processors located at physically separate locations working together. Furthermore, the order of the operations of the processors is not limited to the order described in the above embodiments, and may be changed as appropriate.

[0100] Furthermore, although the "system" in this embodiment is described as being composed of multiple devices as an example, it may also be composed of a single device that has some of the functions of the multiple devices.

[0101] The processing performed by the information processing system 10 according to the above embodiment may be performed by software, by hardware, or a combination of both. The processing performed by the information processing system 10 may be stored as a program on a storage medium and distributed.
