Description

The present invention relates to a part program generation device and a program that generate a part program that helps prevent misrecognition of a measurement point by a measuring machine.

Some measuring instruments have a function of performing measurements in a pre-programmed order when measuring a plurality of locations on an object to be measured. This function is called a part program function, and the information recording the measurement contents and measurement order at each measurement point is called a part program.

A part program can be generated by, for example, actually measuring a reference measurement object and recording the procedure as a program. In addition, if the measuring machine has a part program editing function, it can be used to record the procedure, thereby generating the part program without actual measurement.

When executing a part program on a manual measuring machine (for example, the height measuring machine described in Non-Patent Document 1), what measurements are to be performed at each measurement point is automatically changed in the order recorded in the program. However, the movement of the probe, which is the detection unit, to each measurement point is performed manually. Specifically, the part program displays the position to which the probe should be moved on the display of the measuring machine, and the operator moves the probe so that the probe is positioned near that position, and then performs measurement at each measurement point. Run.

When the measurement point to which the probe is to be moved, which is indicated by the part program, is specified by height, for example, if the measurement point is indicated only by height information, there will be a step of approximately the same height on the object W to be measured. If there are more than one, there is a possibility that the position to which the probe should be moved may be mistaken. For example, if there are two steps A and B with similar heights as shown in FIG. Otherwise, the measurement result of B will be recorded as the measurement result of A.

It is an object of the present invention to detect an error in the location to be measured even if there are measurement locations with similar appearances when performing measurements at a plurality of measurement locations on an object to be measured while moving the detection unit of a measuring instrument. It is an object of the present invention to provide a part program generation device and a program that enable movement of a detection unit without movement.

A part program generating apparatus of the present invention includes a program generating means for generating a part program to be executed by the measuring machine when performing measurement while sequentially moving a detection unit of the measuring machine to a plurality of measurement points on an object to be measured.

In this case, the part program is configured to receive an instruction input for measurement execution after displaying the position information of the measurement point on a predetermined display device and presenting the identification information of the measurement point on a predetermined presentation device. Characterized by

[Embodiment of part program generation]
FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of a part program created using the part program generation device 100 of the present invention. The part program sets an execution item and a parameter serving as auxiliary information for executing the execution item as a set, and sequentially stores them in the storage unit 22 in the order in which each execution item is executed. This set of data is hereinafter referred to as a program line.

Examples of execution items include image, downward measurement, upward measurement, and end. A downward measurement is a measurement performed by moving the probe downward, and an upward measurement is a measurement performed by moving the probe upward.

When the execution items are image, downward measurement, upward measurement, and end, the image file name to be displayed as the corresponding parameter for the image, the measurement start position as the corresponding parameter for downward measurement and upward measurement, Each of them is stored in the storage unit 22 together with the execution items. As for termination, since no parameter is required, only the execution item is stored in the storage unit 22, and nothing is stored for the corresponding parameter, or information indicating nothing is stored.

Two embodiments of the part program generating device 100 for generating a part program having such a structure will be described below.

<First Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the program generation means actually performs measurement of desired contents by the measuring machine and acquisition of identification information by the identification information acquisition means, in a desired order for each of a plurality of measurement points of the reference measurement object. is an embodiment in which a part program is generated by recording the executed procedure.

FIG. 3 shows the flow of part program generation in this embodiment.

First, when the program generation program describing the function of the program generation means is executed by the calculation unit 23, first, in a measurement instruction waiting step (S1), the input of the measurement instruction by the operator is waited. Here, the operator inputs execution items such as measurement start and generation end from the instruction input unit 24 . The operator inputs the measurement start by moving the probe 14 to the measurement start position and then inputting the type of measurement, either downward measurement or upward measurement. A specific implementation method for inputting an execution item from the instruction input unit 24 is arbitrary. For example, the instruction input unit 24 may be configured as a button or switch dedicated to inputting an execution item and implemented by these operations. Alternatively, an input interface may be displayed on the display unit 26, and an input may be made to the input interface from the mouse, keyboard, or the like, which is the instruction input unit 24. FIG.

If the operator inputs any of the execution items, the process proceeds to the generation end determination step (S2). At this time, when "end of generation" is input as an execution item in the state of waiting for a measurement instruction, the process proceeds to the measurement end storage step (S11), "end" is added to the "execution item" of the part program, and the process ends. .

On the other hand, when measurement start is input as an execution item in the measurement instruction waiting state, the process proceeds to the information acquisition validity determination step (S3). At this time, based on the information, which is determined in advance and stored in the storage unit 22, whether to acquire identification information such as images and sounds when generating a part program (=valid) or not (=invalid), it is invalid. If there is, the identification information is not acquired, and the process proceeds to the measurement condition storage step (S8). Moreover, if it is effective, it will transfer to an identification information acquisition step (S4).

In the identification information acquisition step (S4), an identification information acquisition program in which the function of the identification information acquisition means is described is automatically executed by the calculation unit 23 or triggered by an operator's instruction input from the instruction input unit 24, and identification is performed. The identification information is acquired from the information collection unit 30 or the identification information storage device 40 and stored in the storage unit 22 .

Specifically, when the identification information is acquired from the identification information collection unit 30, the identification information is collected by waiting until the identification information is collected by the identification information collection unit 30 by the operator's operation, and when the identification information is collected, the identification information is collected. It is taken into the calculation section 23 via the identification information input section 25 and stored in the storage section 22 . When collecting the identification information, the operator picks up an image so that the location to be measured can be seen, and picks up sound explaining the characteristics of the location to be measured when picking up sound.

When the identification information is acquired from the identification information storage device 40, an image file captured in advance so that the measurement location can be understood, or a voice explaining the characteristics of the measurement location stored in advance in the identification information storage device 40 is collected. The obtained voice file is taken into the calculation section 23 via the identification information input section 25 and stored in the storage section 22 .

After completing the acquisition of the identification information in the identification information acquisition step (S4), the process proceeds to the identification information presentation step (S5). In the identification information presentation step (S5), the calculation unit 23 reads the identification information stored in the storage unit 22, and if the identification information is an image, the image is displayed on the display unit 26, and if the identification information is a sound, the sound emitting unit 27 emits the sound.

After presentation of the identification information in the identification information presentation step (S5), the process proceeds to the reacquisition step (S6). In the reacquisition step (S6), the operator inputs an instruction from the instruction input unit 24 as to whether or not to reacquire the identification information. A specific method for realizing instruction input from the instruction input unit 24 is arbitrary. For example, the instruction input unit 24 may be configured as a button or switch dedicated to instruction input, and may be realized by these operations. An input interface may be displayed on the unit 26, and an instruction input unit 24 such as a mouse or a keyboard may be configured to input to the input interface.

In the reacquisition step (S6), if an instruction to reacquire is input, the process returns to the identification information acquisition step (S4), and if an instruction not to reacquire is input, the identification information storage step (S7). transition to

In the identification information storage step (S7), the calculation unit 23 reads from the storage unit 22 the identification information presented in the identification information presentation step (S5). Then, if necessary, the file is converted into a predetermined file format, and if the file name is not given, a unique file name is given and the file is written back to the storage unit 22. - 特許庁In addition, the calculation unit 23 records, in the part program, a program line that includes a set of parameters corresponding to the execution items for the identification information.

Specifically, if the identification information is an image, a program line whose execution item is an image and the corresponding parameter is the file name of the image is recorded. Record a program line whose parameter is the file name of the sound in question. When recording the program line in the part program, if the part program in the middle of generation does not exist in the storage unit 22, a new part program having the content of the program line is generated and stored in the storage unit 22. , if it already exists, it is read from the storage unit 22 and written back to the storage unit 22 after adding the program line.

After the identification information is stored in the identification information storage step (S7) and the program line for the identification information is recorded in the part program, the process proceeds to the measurement condition storage step (S8). In the measurement condition storage step (S8), the part program is read out from the storage unit 22, and the execution item (downward measurement or upward measurement) input in the measurement instruction waiting step (S1) and parameters corresponding to the execution item (measurement The start position=the current position of the probe 14 moved by the operator at the time of inputting the execution item) is added to the part program as a set of program lines and written back to the storage unit 22 .

After recording the program line in the part program in the measurement condition storage step (S8), the process proceeds to the measurement step (S9). In the measurement step (S9), the operator inputs a measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24 to execute measurement. Specifically, for example, by inputting a measurement execution instruction, the probe 14 is lowered or raised according to the execution item input in the measurement instruction waiting step (S1), and when the object to be measured W touches the measurement point, A measurement result is fetched from the position detection section 10 of the measuring instrument 1 to the data processing section 20 . More specifically, the calculation unit 23 takes in the current position of the probe 14 specified by the counting unit 21 based on the signal output from the detection head 13 to which the probe 14 is fixed, and performs a specific calculation according to the execution item. is performed, and the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 22 as the measurement result.

The input of the measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24 can be input in any specific manner. Alternatively, an input interface may be displayed on the display unit 26, and an instruction input unit 24 such as a mouse or a keyboard may be configured to input to the input interface.

Further, the measurement execution instruction may be configured such that the movement of the probe 14 and the acquisition of the measurement result are performed by one instruction input as in the above example, or the movement of the probe 14 and the acquisition of the measurement result may be performed separately. may be configured to input an instruction to .

After executing the measurement in the measurement step (S9), the process proceeds to the measurement result display step (S10), and the measurement result stored in the storage unit 22 is displayed on the display unit 26. FIG.

After the measurement results are displayed in the measurement result display step (S10), the process moves to the measurement instruction waiting step (S1) again to wait for the next measurement instruction.

<Second embodiment>
In the second embodiment, the program generation means acquires, by the identification information acquisition means, a base program in which the position information of each measurement location, the order of measurement, and the content of the measurement are recorded, which is generated in advance by a predetermined generation method. It is an embodiment in which a part program is generated by editing using the identified identification information.

Specifically, by adding a program editing function to the program generating means, a program line for presenting identification information to the operator is added to a base program corresponding to a conventional general part program, thereby creating a part program according to the present invention. to realize the generation of

The base program may be generated by a generation method based on actual measurement as shown in the first embodiment, or may be generated by using a program editing function provided by the program generating means. In the following, a case where the base program is generated by actual measurement will be described as an example.

FIG. 4 shows the flow of base program generation in this embodiment. The difference from the flow of part program generation in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is that S3 to S7 are omitted.

First, when the program generation program describing the function of the program generation means is executed by the calculation unit 23, first, in a measurement instruction waiting step (S1), the input of the measurement instruction by the operator is waited. Here, the operator inputs execution items such as measurement start and generation end from the instruction input unit 24 . The operator inputs the measurement start by moving the probe 14 to the measurement start position and then inputting the type of measurement, either downward measurement or upward measurement. A specific implementation method for inputting an execution item from the instruction input unit 24 is arbitrary. For example, the instruction input unit 24 may be configured as a button or switch dedicated to inputting an execution item and implemented by these operations. Alternatively, an input interface may be displayed on the display unit 26, and an input may be made to the input interface from the mouse, keyboard, or the like, which is the instruction input unit 24. FIG.

If the operator inputs any of the execution items, the process proceeds to the generation end determination step (S2). At this time, if the end of generation is input as an execution item while waiting for a measurement instruction, the process proceeds to the measurement end storage step (S11) on the Yes side, and adds "end" to the "execution item" of the base program. End the process.

On the other hand, when measurement start is input as an execution item in the measurement instruction waiting state, the process proceeds to the measurement condition storage step (S8) on the No side. In the measurement condition storage step (S8), the execution item (downward measurement or upward measurement) input in the measurement instruction waiting step (S1) and the parameter corresponding to the execution item (measurement start position = moved by the operator when the execution item is input) are stored. The current position of the probe 14 detected) is recorded in the base program as a set of program lines and stored in the storage unit 22 . When recording a program line in the base program, if the base program in the middle of generation does not exist in the storage unit 22, a new base program containing the program line is generated and stored in the storage unit 22. , if it already exists, it is read from the storage unit 22 and written back to the storage unit 22 after adding the program line.

After recording the program line in the base program in the measurement condition storage step (S8), the process proceeds to the measurement step (S9). In the measurement step (S9), the operator inputs a measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24 to execute measurement. Specifically, for example, by inputting a measurement execution instruction, the probe 14 is lowered or raised according to the execution item input in the measurement instruction waiting step (S1), and when the object to be measured W touches the measurement point, A measurement result is fetched from the position detection section 10 of the measuring instrument 1 to the data processing section 20 . More specifically, the calculation unit 23 takes in the current position of the probe 14 specified by the counting unit 21 based on the signal output from the detection head 13 to which the probe 14 is fixed, and performs a specific calculation according to the execution item. is performed, and the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 22 as the measurement result.

The input of the measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24 can be input in any specific manner. Alternatively, an input interface may be displayed on the display unit 26, and an instruction input unit 24 such as a mouse or a keyboard may be configured to input to the input interface.

Further, the measurement execution instruction may be configured such that the movement of the probe 14 and the acquisition of the measurement result are performed by one instruction input as in the above example, or the movement of the probe 14 and the acquisition of the measurement result may be performed separately. may be configured to input an instruction to .

After executing the measurement in the measurement step (S9), the process proceeds to the measurement result display step (S10), and the measurement result stored in the storage unit 22 is displayed on the display unit 26. FIG.

After the measurement results are displayed in the measurement result display step (S10), the process moves to the measurement instruction waiting step (S1) again to wait for the next measurement instruction.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the contents of a base program generated through actual measurement according to the flow shown in FIG. 4 or generated using the editing function of the program generation means. A part program in the present invention is generated by adding a program line for identification information for each measurement to such a base program that does not contain a program line for identification information.

A case where a program line for identification information is added between line numbers 1 and 2 of the base program shown in FIG. 5 will be described as an example. Here, a case where the identification information is an image is exemplified, but as described above, the identification information may be other information such as voice.

The base program is read out from the storage unit 22, and a program line whose execution item is "image" and whose parameter is "image file name" is inserted between the line numbers 1 and 2 of the base program by the program editing function of the program generating means. Along with the addition, the program lines whose original line numbers are 2 or less are shifted by +1 and written back to the storage unit 22 . FIG. 6 shows the state when the program line for the identification information is added to the base program of FIG.

A specific implementation method for adding a program line by the program editing function is arbitrary. For example, the content of the base program read out from the storage unit 22 is displayed on the display unit 26 and an input interface for adding program lines is displayed, and the operator inputs necessary information from the instruction input unit 24 to this input interface. It may be configured so that it can be added by

The image file corresponding to the "image file name" that constitutes the program line to be added is obtained by, for example, executing an identification information acquisition program in which the function of the identification information acquisition means is described in the calculation unit 23, and the identification information collection unit 30 or It is acquired from the identification information storage device 40 and stored in the storage unit 22 .

Specifically, when acquiring from the identification information collection unit 30, the identification information collected by the identification information collection unit 30 by the operation of the operator is taken into the calculation unit 23 via the identification information input unit 25, and the storage unit 22 be memorized. When collecting the identification information, the operator picks up an image so that the location to be measured can be seen, and picks up sound explaining the characteristics of the location to be measured when picking up sound.

Further, when acquiring from the identification information storage device 40, an image file captured so that the measurement location can be identified, which is stored in advance in the identification information storage device 40, is captured by the calculation unit 23 via the identification information input unit 25, It is stored in the storage unit 22 .

[Execution of part program generated by part program generation device]
FIG. 7 shows the execution flow of the part program generated by the part program generating device 100. As shown in FIG.

When reading the part program stored in the storage unit 22, first, the part program line number to be read first is set to 1 (S101).

Subsequently, the program line of the part program line number set in S101 is read from the storage unit 22 to the calculation unit 23 (S102).

The calculation unit 23 branches the processing according to the execution item recorded in the program line (S103).

When the execution item is "image", the calculation unit 23 reads out the image file from the storage unit 22 according to the file name of the image file indicating the measurement location attached as a parameter, and displays the image shown in FIG. An image is displayed in the display area 26c (S104). After the image is displayed in the image display area 26c, the program line number to be read next is updated (S109), and the process returns to the reading process of the next program line (S102).

When the execution item is "downward measurement" or "upward measurement", the calculation unit 23 displays the measurement start position associated with the execution item and the parameter, for example, in the execution item display area 26a shown in FIG. Each is displayed in the measurement start position display area 26b (S105). After the display, it shifts to measurement standby (S106).

In the measurement standby (S106), it waits until the operator inputs a measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24. FIG. During this standby, the operator moves the probe 14 to the measurement position according to the measurement start position displayed in the measurement start position display area 26b of the display unit 26 and the image showing the measurement position displayed in the image display area 26c. Let

When the operator inputs a measurement execution instruction from the instruction input unit 24, the probe 14 is lowered or raised according to the execution item, and when the object W touches the measurement point, the measurement result is displayed at the position of the measuring machine 1. The data is fetched from the detection unit 10 to the data processing unit 20 . More specifically, the calculation unit 23 takes in the current position of the probe 14 specified by the counting unit 21 based on the signal output from the detection head 13 to which the probe 14 is fixed, and performs a specific calculation according to the execution item. is performed, and the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 22 as the measurement result.

Subsequently, the measurement result stored in the storage unit 22 is displayed as the measurement result, for example, in the measurement result display area 26d of the display unit 26 (S108).

After the measurement result is displayed in the measurement result display area 26d of the display unit 26, the program line number to be read next is updated (S109), and the process returns to the next program line reading process (S102).

If the execution item is "end", the part program execution process is terminated.

According to the part program generating apparatus 100 and the program of the present invention described above, when performing measurement at a plurality of measurement points on the object to be measured while moving the detection unit of the measuring machine, measurement points having similar appearances exist. Even in this case, it is possible to move the detection unit to the location to be measured without error based on the image corresponding to the location to be measured or the audio information indicating the location to be measured.
