Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine tool management systems lack efficient methods for recording, analyzing, and displaying detection information in real-time, making it difficult to identify and address abnormalities and optimize machining processes.

Innovation Solution

A machine tool management system that includes a control circuit connected to a memory and display, capable of recording detection information, determining selected data based on predetermined conditions, and displaying this information in a list and graph format, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis of machining processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If detection information is recorded and displayed in real-time, then operational efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection information is segmented into multiple display categories (vibration, temperature, load, etc.) with each category independently configurable. Users can select and display only the relevant categories for their specific needs, reducing information overload while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering and organization of detection information before display, pre-categorizing data by type and significance. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity of real-time display by presenting organized, pre-processed information rather than raw data streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If multiple types of detection information are displayed, then analysis capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Different display areas are assigned different functions and levels of detail. The main display shows summarized information with simple visual indicators, while detailed data and analysis are available in separate sections or upon user request, allowing comprehensive information presentation without overwhelming the primary interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display configuration is dynamic and adaptable. Users can easily adjust which detection information categories are displayed and modify display parameters in real-time. The system responds to user interactions by dynamically reconfiguring the display to show only relevant information, maintaining simplicity while providing comprehensive data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A machine tool management system includes a machine tool, a memory, a display, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to record, in the memory, a time point at which detection information with respect to a machine tool is detected and the detection information corresponding to the time point; determine selected detection information among the detection information to satisfy a determination condition; record, in the memory, the selected detection information corresponding to the time point; display a list of the selected detection information according to predetermined display items; extract from the memory at least part of the detection information including one of the selected detection information corresponding to one display item selected among the display items listed on the display; and to display a graph of a change over time in data included in the at least part of the detection information.
