DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an equipment number management apparatus for managing the use status of equipment numbers in a design system for designing equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a design system for designing facilities such as electric power, gas, water and sewage facilities, there is a system configuration shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a server, which performs data transfer management and management of the entire system. Reference numeral 2 denotes a database accessed by the server 1, and reference numeral 3 denotes a plurality of design terminals connected to the server 1 by lines. As shown in FIG. 6, the database 2 includes a master database 2A and a design database 2B.
First, in the master database 2A, drawing data such as basic drawing data composed of topographic maps and equipment map data, design drawing data of a place where equipment construction has already been completed, etc., and equipment master data which is attribute data are included in the drawing data. It is registered as. Design drawings designed based on these drawing data are sequentially stored in the design database 2B as design drawing data. The design drawing data is design equipment drawing data and attribute data. Also, the design database 2B
Also stores the process management data 2d. After one day of design work, the contents of the design database 2B are transferred to the master database 2A, and the contents of the master database 2A are updated to the contents of the design database 2B. The attribute information is, for example, information for storing equipment symbols arranged on a design drawing in association with a number, and each symbol is stored in the database 2 in association with a number.

Next, the operation will be described. When designing such as new installation or removal of equipment, the server 1 is first started up, and at the time of the first design, the master database 2A as shown in FIG.
The drawing data is transferred to the terminal 3 and a drawing based on the drawing data is displayed on the terminal screen 50, or the drawing data of the design database 2B is transferred and displayed (drawing is resumed). Then, a number is associated with the newly established symbol, and the design drawing is stored in the database 2B. Also, the number associated with the removed symbol is released. As described above, a number management ledger is used as a recording sheet for recording whether a number is associated with a symbol or released. In the ledger, a number for symbol association is, for example, “000”.
A number from "1" to "xxx" is written, and information is written next to each number. That is, when a number is already stored in the database 2 in association with a symbol, information such as “reserved” or “existing” is added to the number as “unusable” information, and other numbers are assigned to other numbers. Has information of “empty (or blank)” as information of “usable”.

Therefore, for example, when a facility is newly installed on a design drawing under design using an editor or the like by using symbols already stored as design drawing data in the database 2 or symbols on a terminal screen, Looks at the ledger for a usable number, that is, a "vacant" number, selects an arbitrary number from the "vacant" number, associates it with the newly installed equipment symbol, and then uses this new symbol as a design drawing. The information is stored in the database 2B, and “secured” is written in the number on the ledger. After that, when the actual facility construction is completed, “secured” is changed to “existing”. When the equipment is removed, the number associated with the removed equipment symbol is released. Therefore, the information of the released number is changed from “existing” to “empty” on the ledger.

[0005]

However, in the number management using the number management ledger as described above, the information of the numbers on the ledger must be corrected one by one after the actual construction is completed. However, there is a problem that a situation where a number that can be used cannot be used is caused.

[0006] Further, if the information of "secure" is forgotten to be added to the number associated with the symbol in the new facility design, the information of the number on the ledger remains "free" as usable information. However, there has been a problem that a plurality of designers may use the same number repeatedly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide a number management device capable of preventing the above-mentioned situation.

[0008]

An equipment number management apparatus according to claim 1 of the present invention stores design drawing data relating to equipment design such as electric power, gas, water supply and sewage, and process management data 2a of actual equipment construction. If the database 2 to be transferred, the transfer means (server 11), the plurality of design terminals 3, and the number prepared for the symbol corresponding to the equipment have already been associated with the symbol, "unusable". If the number is not associated with the number, information indicating "usable" is attached to the number, and the number use status reference means (number reference file 12) referred to when associating a number with a newly installed symbol at the time of new installation design. ) And actual process completion data from the process management data 2a, and based on the design drawing data stored in the database at the time of completion of the work. Numbers associated with newly created symbols are given "existing" information as "unusable" information, and numbers associated with symbols removed by design are given "usable" information. like,
A first management means (equipment number management software 11A) for changing the information on the number of the reference means.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at the time of new installation design, a number to be associated with the newly installed symbol is selected with reference to the reference means, and then activated based on the first specific command. "Not available" for the number selected above
The second method of changing the information of the reference means so as to add the information of
(Equipment number management software 11A).

According to a third aspect of the present invention, at the time of designing a new facility, the apparatus is started based on a second specific command, searches the contents of the reference means, and searches for a number to which "usable" information is attached. The third method is to associate the searched and newly established symbol with the number of "usable" that has been searched, and to change the information of the reference means so as to add "unusable" information as information of the number associated with the symbol. It has management means.

[0011]

The first management means changes the information of the number of the reference means according to the contents of the design drawing data at the time of the actual construction completion.

[0012] The second management means attaches "unusable" information to the information of the number of the reference means for the number selected by the designer to be associated with the symbol at the time of design.

[0013] The third management means searches the contents of the reference means, associates the "usable" number with the newly established symbol on the design drawing, and adds "unusable" to the information of the above number of the reference means. With the information.

【Example】

Embodiment 1 FIG. (Corresponding to Claims 1 and 2) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall image of a design system applied to the present invention. The same or corresponding parts as those in the conventional example of FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a server functioning as a facility number management device of the present invention. Reference numeral 12 denotes a number reference file as number use status reference means. The server 11 performs data transfer management and management of the entire system as in the related art, as well as equipment number management software 1 that constitutes first management means and second management means.
1A. The contents of the file 12 are, for example, contents as shown in 12A of FIG. That is, in the file, the contents of the conventional number management ledger are filed in the recording means so that the server 11 can access the file. Therefore, the number already associated with the symbol is provided with the information “existing” as the information of “unusable” (information attached to the contents 0010 to 0030 of the content 12A) and corresponds to the symbol. Unnumbered numbers are given information of "empty" as information of "usable" (numbers 0040 to 0 of content 12A).
The information is added to 060, and is blank in the drawing. ).

Next, the operation will be described. First, the function of the software 11A as a second management unit will be described. In the equipment new design, for example, it is assumed that a symbol is already stored as design drawing data in the database 2 or a symbol on a terminal screen, and a symbol is newly installed on the design drawing being designed using an editor or the like. In this case, the designer sends a file contents read command to the server 11, whereby the server 11 displays the contents of the file 12 on the terminal screen. The designer looks at the contents of the file 12 and searches for an “empty” number, and selects a number to be associated with the newly established symbol from the “empty” numbers. Then, for example, if the number "0040" is selected and the first specific command is sent to the software 11A to secure this number, the software 11A first
As shown in FIG. 2B, the reserved record 31 with the number “0040” is added. After the reserve record 31 has been added, when another designer refers to the file content on the terminal screen, the number “0040” already indicates the reserved record 3
1 is provided and "reserved" is "unusable"
, The number "0040" is not used by another designer. Next, the designer sends the newly established symbol and the number “00” to the software 11A.
When the user instructs to associate “40” with the keyboard 11 (by operating a keyboard or the like), the software 11A executes
C, the reserve record 31 is replaced with the new record 32.
In addition, information of “unusable” of “newly established” is added, and the newly established symbol 52 is associated with the number “0040” and stored in the design database 2B.

When canceling a newly-created symbol, the software 11A receives the record release command and follows the reverse of the above-described order to form a new record 32.
Is changed to the reserved record 31, and then the reserved record 31 is deleted. As a result, the number “0” on the file 12
“040” is an “empty” number.

It should be noted that the provision of the reserve and new records as described above is simpler in software programming and faster in processing when adding or deleting records than when directly adding information to numbers. That's why. However, software that directly attaches information to a number without providing a record may be used.

Next, the function of the software 11A as the first management means will be described with reference to FIGS. In the equipment design, it is assumed that the equipment symbol 101 is newly provided as shown on the design drawing 60 in FIG. 3 and the equipment symbol 100 already provided is removed. Thus, the design drawing data stored in the design database 2B has the contents of the design drawing 61. When the design drawing 60 is designed, the contents 12D of the file 12 are
The information of the number associated with is "existing", and in order to associate with the symbol to be newly established,
By the function of the second management means, the numbers "101", "10"
"2 Under design" (information of "unusable")
It has been secured as. The information of the number of the content 12D of this file is changed like the file content 12E when the actual construction is completed by the function of the second management means of the software 11A.

More specifically, the design database 2
B also stores the process management data 2d, and obtains information on the completion of the construction from this data 2d. At the time of the completion, the design drawing data (design in FIG. 3) stored in the design database 2B is obtained. The information of the number of the file 12 is changed in accordance with the drawing data based on the drawing data of FIG. 61. This is the function of the first management means of the software 11A.

That is, the file 11A is, for example, one
The program includes a program for comparing the completion date data of the process management data 2d of the round design database 2B with the date data of the server 11. If the date data of the server is greater than the completion date data, the program is stored in the design database 2B. The contents of the file 12 are changed based on the existing drawing data. Referring to FIG. 3, symbol 1 as data on design drawing 61
Since 01 is newly established, the information of the number “101” of the file is “existing”. Further, since the symbol 100 does not already exist as shown by 100d, the file "1"
The information of the number “00” is “empty (blank)”. The number reserved but not used, that is, the number “10” not associated with the symbol on the design drawing 61
The information of “2” is “empty (blank)”.

FIG. 4 shows an image of the function of the first management means of the software 11A. That is, when the construction is completed, the drawing data is taken into the server 11 from the design database 2B, whereby the software 11A changes the contents of the file 12 based on the contents of the drawing data as contents 12E in FIG. Further, the drawing data is transferred to the master database 2A, and the contents of the master database 2A are updated. The drawing data is already stored in the master database 2A.
In this case, the software 11A changes the information of the file 12 based on the contents of the drawing data of the master base 2A.

Therefore, with the software 11A of the first embodiment, it is less likely that a plurality of designers repeatedly use the same number at the time of designing. This is because, instead of writing “secure” in the ledger as in the past, the number is “secured” by operating the keyboard of the terminal, so that the operation of “secure” is forgotten. This is because the number is very small as compared with the method of writing on simple paper. Further, the designer does not need to change the contents of the file according to the drawing data after the completion of the actual construction, and the contents of the file are automatically changed according to the drawing data after the completion of the construction. As a result, a situation in which a number that can be used originally cannot be used is eliminated.

Embodiment 2 FIG. (Corresponding to claim 3) Instead of the function of the second management means of the first embodiment, the server number management software having the function of the third management means is provided on the server 1.
1 may be provided. The third management means is activated at the time of design based on the second specific command, first searches the contents of the file 12 to find an “empty” number, and then designs the “empty” number. In addition to the function of associating with the newly established symbol on the figure, the information of the number which was the "free" number in the file is provided with the information of "unusable". In this case, the third management means has a function of associating a smaller number with a symbol when there are a plurality of “empty” numbers. According to the software of the present embodiment, as compared with the software 11A of the first embodiment, there is no need for the designer to search for an “empty” number, and further, it is not necessary to perform a process of associating a number with a newly installed symbol. However, conversely, the software 11 of the first embodiment
In A, the designer can select the desired number to use,
In the software of the second embodiment, the designer cannot select a favorite number to use. Therefore, the software may be selected according to the designer's preference.

In each of the above embodiments, the function of each management unit is realized by software, but may be realized by hardware.

[0025]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first management means for obtaining construction completion data and changing the information on the number of the reference means in accordance with the design drawing data at the time of the actual construction completion is provided. Since the apparatus is provided, the designer does not need to re-read the contents of the reference means after completion of the actual construction, and a facility number management device that can avoid a situation where a number that should be usable originally cannot be used can be obtained.

According to the invention of claim 2, with respect to the number selected by the designer to be associated with the symbol at the time of design, the first
Is activated by the specific command, and the second management means for adding the information of “unusable” to the information of the number of the reference means is provided, so that a plurality of designers use the same number repeatedly. Such situations can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the contents are started by a specific second command, the contents of the reference means are searched, and the "usable" number is associated with a newly installed symbol on the design drawing. Since there is provided the third management means for adding "unusable" information to the information on the number on the reference means, the designer does not need to search for an "empty" number at the time of design, and the newly established symbol can be used. There is no need to associate numbers with numbers.
