  In general, in a manufacturing operation process of a large variety of small-quantity products, a plurality of work instruction diagrams are presented for an operator to assemble a plurality of parts constituting the product. The work instruction diagram is roughly divided into an assembly work diagram and a wiring connection work diagram.

  In the assembly work diagram, a list of necessary parts is shown according to an appropriate assembly sequence. At the same time, an assembly work instruction diagram showing an external view of a product in the manufacturing process assembled in each work is used in each work process.

  In the wiring connection work diagram, the "connection" between the wiring connection source (starting point) and the wiring connection destination (landing point) is shown according to the proper connection order, and the connection source (starting point) and the connection destination (landing point) A wiring connection diagram that also shows the connection route connecting) is used in each work process.

  In Patent Document 1, only an instruction for assembly work is automatically generated. In Patent Document 2, only an instruction for wiring connection is automatically generated. However, in a field where assembly work and wiring connection work are mixed, not only work for assembling structural parts and electrical parts but also wiring connection work for connecting parts with electric wires is required.

  However, in the prior art, either the assembly work procedure or the wiring connection work procedure is automatically generated, and is applicable to a manufacturing site where both assembly work and wiring connection work are required. difficult.

  Therefore, in the product manufacturing process, the worker confirms both the assembly instruction work instruction diagram and the wiring connection work instruction diagram at any time, and considers the assembly wiring sequence between the assembly work and the wiring connection work by himself / herself. There is a need. Therefore, a worker who is not familiar with the work content or a worker who lacks concentration cannot quickly set up the assembly work and the wiring connection work in his / her head, resulting in lower work efficiency. .

  Furthermore, in the product manufacturing process, if the order of assembly work and wiring connection work is wrong, a so-called reverse work may occur. When backtracking work occurs, it becomes necessary to work again in the correct procedure. As a result, the number of work steps increases and the manufacturing process is delayed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to generate and output work procedure information including both a work procedure related to assembly work and a work procedure related to wiring connection work. It is to provide a procedure information generation system and method.

In order to solve the above problems, a work procedure information generation system according to the present invention is a work procedure information generation system that generates information about a work procedure for assembling an apparatus, and at least a structural component that indicates a work procedure related to assembly work By adjusting the order of the assembly order information and the wiring connection order information indicating the work procedure related to the wiring connection work, and the order of the structural component assembly order information and the wiring connection order information stored in the storage unit , A processing unit that generates work procedure information indicating the work procedure related to the assembly work and the work procedure related to the wiring connection work in a predetermined order, and an output unit that outputs the work procedure information are provided.

The storage unit further stores predetermined part design information extracted from the three-dimensional design data of each part constituting the device, and part type information indicating the type of each part. The wiring parts for electrically connecting the connection destination parts, the connection parts connected to the wiring parts as the previous connection destination parts, the wiring parts holding the wiring parts, and the wiring At least one of the parts, connection parts, and line drawing parts is classified as a cover target part, or a cover part for covering a part or all of the parts. It is possible to determine the type and generate work procedure information based on the determined type and a predetermined order rule prepared in advance for each component type.

  According to the present invention, work procedure information including both a work procedure related to assembly work and a work procedure related to wiring connection work can be generated and output, and work efficiency can be improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The work procedure information generation system according to the present embodiment previously adds attribute information indicating the type of a part to the 3D CAD model property information of the component part included in the 3D CAD information about the product to be manufactured. As the types of parts, there are wiring parts, connecting parts, straightening parts, and cover parts (parts for covering at least one of wiring parts, connecting parts, and straightening parts). The work procedure information generation system uses the design information to which the attribute indicating the component type is added to determine the work procedure (order, the same applies hereinafter) between the wiring component and the connection component, and then the wire-training component and the wiring component. And finally, the work procedure between the cover part and the cover target part covered by the cover is determined. The work procedure information generation system generates work procedure information from the work procedures determined in the above order and displays the work procedure information.

  This system electrically connects the connecting component on the starting side (starting component) and the connecting component on the landing side (scoring component) in accordance with the basic rules described later (see FIGS. 3, 4, and 5). A wiring part to be determined is determined, and after assembling the starting part and the landing part, the work procedure is determined so that they are connected by the wiring part. Subsequently, the present system determines a wire-straightening component (such as a duct or a cleat) for holding the wiring route, and determines a work procedure for assembling the wire-shaping component immediately before the wiring component is assembled. Further, in this system, the cover part is determined, and the work procedure is determined so that the cover part is assembled after the cover target part covered with the cover part is assembled. In this way, the system generates work procedure information and presents it to the worker.

  The work procedure information generation system 100 according to the present embodiment can be applied to various devices such as a control panel, a control device, a personal computer, and an information terminal as products to be manufactured. Parts constituting the product can be roughly classified into, for example, connection parts, wiring parts, wire-drawing parts, and cover parts.

  A connection part is a part used for product manufacture, for example, shows structural parts, electrical parts, etc. like a frame, a chassis, a power supply unit, a printed circuit board, a capacitor, a switch, and a display panel.

  The wiring component refers to components connected to the connection component in order to configure an electric circuit, such as an electric wire, a cable, and a harness.

  The wire-straightening component is a component for holding the wiring component itself or holding the wiring route, such as a wiring duct or a wiring cleat.

  The cover part is a part that covers at least one of a connection part, a wiring part, and a wire-lining part. Here, a part covered with a cover part is called a cover target part. Examples of the cover parts include a protective cover for protecting the cover target part from other structures, an antifouling cover for protecting the cover target part from foreign matters and dirt, a dustproof cover, and the like.

  The cover part does not need to cover the entire cover target part, and may have a structure in which the cover target part is partially covered, for example, only the upper surface part and only the side surface part of the cover target part. Further, the cover component may be configured to be spaced apart from the cover target component, or may be configured to be attached in close contact with the cover target component.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a work procedure information generation system 100. As will be described later, the work procedure information generation system 100 is a system that automatically generates an instruction order for assembly wiring work at the time of product manufacture and presents it to an operator.

  The work procedure information generation system (hereinafter, this system) 100 includes, for example, an input unit 101, a processing unit 102, a storage unit 103, and a work instruction display unit 170.

  The input unit 101 is used to input information necessary for generating work procedure information to the system 100. Via the input unit 101, three-dimensional design data (displayed as “3DCAD” in the drawing) 110 regarding a product to be manufactured is input to the system 100. The configuration of the three-dimensional design data 110 will be described later.

  The processing unit 102 is for generating work procedure information. The processing unit 102 includes, for example, a CAD information extraction unit 111, a component type determination unit 131, an assembly wiring order generation unit 141, and a work instruction generation unit 150.

  The CAD information extraction unit 111 extracts design information and attribute information (part type information) necessary for generating work procedure information from the three-dimensional design data 110 of the input unit 101, and stores the extracted information (CAD information). The data is stored in the CAD information storage unit 120 in 103.

  Based on the determination conditions stored in advance in the component determination condition storage unit 130 of the storage unit 103 and the component type information associated with the three-dimensional design data 110 of each component, the component type determination unit 131 It is determined whether the type of the component corresponds to a wiring component, a connecting component, a straightening component, or a cover component.

  The assembly wiring order generation unit 141 generates assembly wiring order information as work procedure information. Information indicating the assembly wiring order generated by the assembly wiring order generation unit 141 is stored in the assembly wiring order information storage unit 140 in the storage unit 103.

  Here, the structural component assembly order information as an example of the “work procedure related to assembly work” is information indicating the order related to the assembly and attachment of components such as a chassis, a power supply unit, a switch, and a lamp. The wiring connection order information as an example of the “work procedure related to wiring connection work” is information related to the wiring order between components. Then, the assembly wiring order generation unit 141 adjusts the order of the structural component assembly order information and the wiring connection order information so that the work can be efficiently performed, thereby assembling wiring order information that is an example of “work procedure information”. Is generated.

  The work instruction generation unit 150 generates a specific work instruction for instructing the worker based on the assembly wiring order information generated by the assembly wiring order generation unit 141. The work instruction generated by the work instruction generation unit 150 is sent to the work instruction display unit 170 and displayed.

  The storage unit 103 includes, for example, a CAD information storage unit 120, a component determination condition storage unit 130, and an assembly wiring order information storage unit 140.

  As described above, the CAD information storage unit 120 extracts and stores the CAD information of the production target product model included in the three-dimensional design data 110. The CAD information includes component part information for all parts constituting the product to be manufactured. In the property of each part model included in the component part information, the above-described part type information and wiring space attribute information described later are registered.

  The component determination condition storage unit 130 stores a component type list that is a condition for determining the component type. As described above, the component type determination unit 131 determines the type of each component by collating the component type list with the component type information included in the property information.

  The assembly wiring order information storage unit 140 is generated by the structural part assembly wiring order generation process (S30 in FIG. 2) described later and the wiring connection order generation process (S40 in FIG. 2) described later. It is a memory | storage part which memorize | stores wiring connection order information.

  Based on the assembly wiring sequence information stored in the assembly wiring sequence information storage unit 140, the work instruction generation unit 150 generates information (operation instruction diagram) indicating an instruction for the worker regarding the assembly wiring operation. The work instruction display unit 170 displays the work instruction diagram for the worker generated by the work instruction generation unit 150.

  The work instruction display unit 170 is an apparatus that instructs a worker on a work procedure. A plurality of work instruction display units 170 are arranged on the manufacturing site corresponding to one or a plurality of workers. The work instruction display unit 170 includes, for example, a terminal processing device 171, an input device 172, and a display device 173. The terminal processing device 171 receives a work instruction from the work instruction generation unit 150 of the processing unit 102 and outputs the work instruction to the output device 173. The output device 173 is configured as, for example, a display device, a synthesized voice output device, a printer, or a combination thereof.

  The worker attaches parts according to work instructions output from the output device 173 (assembly work), or connects the parts with electric wires or the like (wiring connection work). The worker operates the input device 172 in order to notify the processing unit 102 of the completion of the work or to refer to other information. The input device 172 is configured as, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a voice input device, an operation detection device, or a combination thereof.

  Here, a configuration example of information used in the present embodiment will be described. First, a configuration example of the three-dimensional design data 110 will be described. The three-dimensional design data 110 stores model information of products to be manufactured. In the model information of the product to be manufactured, component type information for determining the component type is registered in advance.

  For example, the connection component model information is associated with the connection component, and component type information indicating that it is a connection-related component is registered in the property information of the connection component model. The wiring component is associated with the property information of the wiring component model, and the component type information indicating that the component is related to the wiring is registered in the property information of the wiring component model. Similarly, part type information indicating that the part is a line-related part is registered in the property information of the line part model, and the part type indicating that the part is a cover-related part in the property information of the cover part model Information is associated.

  Further, in the property information of the lined part and the property information of the cover part, in addition to the part type information, wiring space attribute information defining the relationship with the wiring part is also registered. Here, the wiring space attribute information will be described with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG.

  6 and 7 show an example of the wiring space attribute information set in the property information of the linear part model. The wiring space attribute information is information used to determine a wiring component that passes through the space formed by the line-aligning component. The wiring space attribute information can also be called, for example, wiring relationship determination information for determining the relationship with the wiring.

  FIG. 6 shows a wiring component 200 that electrically connects one connecting component 300A and the other connecting component 300B. The wiring component 200 is provided between the connection components 300 </ b> A and 300 </ b> B through a wiring space 410 formed in the wire-shaping component 400 such as a duct. The wiring space 410 can be calculated from design information of the duct-shaped wire-training component 400. The position through which the wiring component 200 connecting the connection components 300A and 300B passes can be calculated from the design information of the connection components 300A and 300B and the wiring component 200. Therefore, based on the three-dimensional design data 110, the relationship between the wiring space 410 and the wiring component 200 included in the line shaping component 400 can be calculated.

  FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the wiring component 401 such as a cleat and the wiring component 200. The wiring component 401 restrains the wiring component 200 in the wiring space 411 by a member (not shown) such as a binding band. In the example of FIG. 7, the case where one wiring component 200 is supported above the wire-shaping component 401 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which a plurality of wiring components 200 are supported on the side of the wire-shaping component 401 or the like. Good.

  The wiring space 411 relating to the wire-training component 401 configured like a cleat can be calculated from the design information of the wire-wiring component 401, and the relationship between the wiring space 411 and the wiring component 200 is calculated from the design information of the wiring component 200 and the like. it can.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of wiring space attribute information set in the property information of the cover part model. As shown in the center of FIG. 8, connection parts 300 </ b> A and 300 </ b> B are attached on a substrate 600 such as a printed wiring board, a housing, and a chassis. The wiring component 200 is provided so as to electrically connect the connection components 300A and 300B.

  Then, the cover component 500 is attached on the base 600 so as to cover the connection components 300A and 300B and the wiring component 200. In the example of FIG. 8, the cover component 500 covers the entire wiring component 200 and most of the connection components 300A and 300B. A space in the cover component 500 is a protective space 510. Although this is not always the case, since the wiring component 200 is often passed through the protective space 510, it can also be referred to as a wiring space 510.

  The shape of the cover part 500 is clear from the design information of the cover part 500, and the mounting position of the cover part 500 is clear from the design information of the base 600. Therefore, the protection space 510 formed by the cover component 500 can be calculated from the design information. In addition, since the mounting positions of the connection parts 300A and 300B and the wiring parts 200 arranged on the base 600 are also clear from the design information of the base 600, the parts 300A, 300B and 200 to be protected by the cover part 500 and the protection space The relationship with 510 can also be calculated.

  As described above, the wiring space attribute information that defines the relationship with the wiring component is also registered in the property information of the line-training component and the cover component.

  Further, connection attribute information for identifying whether the connection component is a connection source component or a connection destination component is also registered in the property information of the connection component. The connection source component and the connection destination component are connected from the wiring component. Which is the connection source and which is the connection destination can be determined based on, for example, the direction of the current, the position of the component, and the like. The connection source component is the starting component, and the connection destination component is the landing component.

  The operation of the work procedure information generation system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of the work procedure information generation system 100.

  The CAD information extraction unit 111 extracts CAD information of a product to be manufactured from the three-dimensional design data 110, and stores the CAD information in the CAD information storage unit 120 (S10). As described above, the CAD information of the product to be manufactured includes the CAD information for all the parts constituting the product to be manufactured, and the CAD information of each part includes the component type information and the wiring space attribute information. It is associated.

  Based on the component type determination condition stored in the component determination condition storage unit 130 and the component type information of each component stored in the CAD information storage unit 120, the component type determination unit 131 determines that each component is a wiring component, It is determined whether it is a connection part, a line drawing part, or a cover part (S20).

  For example, in the part property information, the part type information includes “wire”, “cable”, “harness”, “terminal block”, “connector”, “duct”, “cleat”, “dust cover”, “protective cover” As described above, relatively fine type information is registered. The conditions for determining the component type are, for example, “Electric wires, cables, harnesses are wiring-related components”, “Terminal blocks and connectors are connection-related components”, “Ducts and cleats are wiring-related components. Defined as "the dust cover and the protective cover are parts related to the cover". Accordingly, by comparing the determination condition with the component type information registered in the component property information, the component type can be determined with a granularity necessary for generating the assembly wiring sequence information.

  The assembly wiring order generation unit 141 determines the assembly order (attachment order) of each part whose part type is determined (S30). For example, when the second part is mounted on the first part, the first part is first mounted and then the second part is mounted. In this way, the assembly order of parts can be determined based on CAD information.

  As a process for determining the assembly order of the parts constituting the product to be manufactured, the method known in Patent Document 1 described above can be used, and the process itself for determining the assembly order of the parts is the key to the present embodiment. Since it is not a part, further explanation is omitted. Even if the description is omitted, a so-called person skilled in the art can understand and implement the processing content of step S30 with reference to Patent Document 1.

  Further, the assembly wiring order generation unit 141 generates assembly wiring order information using the part assembly order information and wiring connection order information generated in step S30 (S40), and stores them in the assembly wiring order information storage unit 140. The wiring connection order information can be obtained from the CAD information of each of the connection component and the wiring component.

  The assembly wiring order information generated by the assembly wiring order generation unit 141 is generated by comprehensively considering the procedure related to the assembly work of components and the procedure related to the connection work between components from the viewpoint of improving work efficiency. A process for generating assembly wiring order information by comprehensively judging a plurality of work procedures having different determination processes, ie, part assembly order information and wiring connection order information, in order to improve work efficiency is described with reference to FIGS. explain.

  The work instruction generation unit 150 acquires the assembly wiring order information stored in the assembly wiring order information storage unit 140, generates a work instruction such as a work instruction diagram according to the assembly wiring order information, and the work instruction display unit 170. (S50).

  The work instruction display unit 170 gives an instruction to the worker by displaying the received work instruction on the output device 173 (S60).

  In the assembly wiring sequence generation process (S40) described above, the assembly wiring sequence is determined based on the following three rules. That is, according to the first rule described in step S410 in FIG. 3, the assembly wiring order of the wiring component and the connection component is determined. According to the second rule described in step S420 in FIG. 4, the assembly wiring order of the line-aligning component and the wiring component is determined. In the third rule described in step S430 in FIG. 5, the assembly wiring order between the cover part and the cover target part covered by the cover is determined.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the process S410 for determining the assembly wiring order of the wiring component and the connection component. The assembly wiring order generation unit (hereinafter also referred to as an order generation unit) 141 extracts wiring information from the component type determined in step S20 of FIG. 2 and the assembly order information of the connected components generated in step S30 (S411). ).

  The order generation unit 141 repeatedly executes the following steps S413 to S415 as many times as the number of extracted wires (S412). Hereinafter, the processing target wiring component is referred to as a target wiring component, and the processing target connection component is referred to as a target connection component.

  The order generation unit 141 identifies whether the connection component connected to the target wiring component is the starting component or the landing component from the assembly sequence information of the connection component (S413).

  The order generation unit 141 determines whether the assembly order information of the connection parts to be connected by the target wiring parts is to attach the landing parts after the starting parts are attached (S414). When it is determined that it is not the order to attach the starting part first and then attach the starting part (S414: NO), that is, when it is the order to attach the starting part after attaching the starting part Then, an assembly wiring sequence is created so that the target wiring component is assembled immediately after the starting component is attached (S415).

  The assembly work of the wiring parts is not completed unless both the starting part and the landing part are ready. Therefore, the work order is determined so that the work of the target wiring component is started after the work of the connection component assembled (attached) last among the plurality of connection parts corresponding to the target wiring component is completed.

  For the reason described above, when the order generation unit 141 determines in the connection part assembly order information that the starting part is assembled after the starting part is assembled (S414: YES), the operation of the landing part is performed. The work order is determined so that the work of the target wiring component is started immediately after finishing (S416).

  By repeating the above-described steps S413 to S416 as many times as the number of wiring parts (S417), it is possible to create assembly wiring order information of wiring parts and connecting parts.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the process S420 for determining the assembly and wiring order of the wiring component and the line finishing component.

  The order generation unit 141 includes the component type determined in step S20 of FIG. 2, the assembly order information of the connection parts generated in step S30, and the assembly wiring order information of the wiring parts and connection parts generated in step S410 of FIG. Based on the above, a line shaping component is extracted (S421). In the following, the target line shaping component is referred to as a target line shaping component.

  The order generation unit 141 executes the following steps S423 to S425 as many times as the number of line drawing components extracted in step S421 (S422). First, the order generation unit 141 uses the extracted line-part information and the assembly wiring order information of the wiring parts and connection parts created in step S410 in FIG. Is specified (S423).

  The order generation unit 141 determines whether the assembly order of the identified wiring component is after the line-matching component (S424). When the assembling order is the wire arrangement part first and the wiring part is later (S424: YES), the assembly wiring order information is generated in the same order.

  When the assembling order is the wiring part first and the line shaping part is later (S424: NO), the order generation unit 141 assembles wiring order information so that the assembling work of the line shaping part is immediately before the assembly of the wiring part. Is generated.

  By repeatedly executing the processing shown in FIG. 4 as many as the number of line-matching parts (S426), it is possible to create assembly wiring order information for the line-alignment parts, the connection parts, and the wiring parts.

  Here, step S423 for identifying the wiring component located in the wiring space corresponding to the line-matching component will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The wire-drawing parts can be roughly classified into two types, for example, ducts and cleats. As shown in FIG. 6, the wiring space 410 of the ducting line-fixing component 400 differs depending on the duct size, and the internal space covered by the duct is defined as the wiring space 410 of the duct-aligning line component 400. . As shown in FIG. 7, in the wiring space 411 of the cleat-type wire-training component 401, a certain space that is perpendicular to the cleat that fixes the wiring components is defined as a wiring space 411 of the cleat-wire-shaping component 401. Define.

  It is assumed that the wiring space for the wire-drawing component defined in this way is registered in advance in the property information of the wire-wiring component model. The order generation unit 141 determines whether or not the wiring space for the wire-lining component interferes with the wiring component. When the wiring component interferes with the wiring space of the line-aligning component, it can be determined that the wiring component passes through the wiring space.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the process S430 for determining the assembly wiring order of the cover part and the cover target part.

  The order generation unit 141, the part type determined in step S 20, the assembly order information of the connection part generated in step S 30, and the assembly wiring order of the line-matching part, the connection part, and the wiring part generated in step S 420 of FIG. Based on the information, cover parts are extracted (S431).

  The order generation unit 141 repeatedly executes the following steps S433 to S435 for the number of extracted cover parts (S432).

  The order generation unit 141 uses the cover part extracted in step S431 and the assembly wiring order information of the line-fitting part, the connection part, and the wiring part generated in step S420 to enter the cover part wiring space (protection space). A certain part to be covered is specified (S433).

  The cover target part is a general term for parts whose whole or part is located in the wiring space of the cover part, and includes, for example, a wiring part, a connection part, and a wire-sizing part. The cover target part can also be called a cover inclusion part.

  The order generation unit 141 determines which of the cover part and the cover target part is assembled first (S434). When the cover target part is assembled before the cover part (S434: YES), the order generation unit 141 creates assembly wiring order information in the same order.

  When the cover target part is assembled after the cover part (S434: NO), the order generation unit 141 assembles the wiring order information in the order in which the assembly time of the cover target part is before the cover part is assembled. Is created (S435).

  By repeatedly executing the process shown in FIG. 5 as many times as the number of cover parts (S436), it is possible to create assembly wiring order information of the line-lining parts, the connection parts, the wiring parts, and the cover parts.

  Here, the details of step S433 for specifying the cover target component in the wiring space (protective space) of the cover component will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the space 510 where the cover component 500 covers the cover target components 200, 300 </ b> A, 300 </ b> B is a space covered with the cover component 500. Information defining the space 510 covering the cover target part is registered in advance in the property information of the cover part model.

  The order generation unit 141 determines whether the wiring space (protective space) included in the cover component interferes with another component, and if so, identifies the component as a cover target component.

  According to this embodiment configured as described above, the assembly wiring sequence information can be generated and output based on the component assembly sequence information and the wiring connection sequence information regarding the assembly operation of the components. It can be increased and work errors can be reduced.
