Description

  The present invention relates to a design support system for the purpose of creating a design drawing.

  Various design support systems have been developed by various development companies and are widely used for the purpose of creating design drawings. For example, Feature CAM (registered trademark), Top CAM (registered trademark), or the like is used. However, because the specifications of the design support system are different for each development company, even if the same drawing is designed, the design procedure (hereinafter referred to as the design procedure) is different if the type of design support system used is different. ) Is very different.

  Here, an outline of the design procedure will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional model. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional model that is the basis of the three-dimensional model shown in FIG. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional model, which is displayed when DXF data of the two-dimensional model that is the basis of the three-dimensional model shown in FIG. 11 is read into a design support system B different from the design support system A. It is a schematic diagram of a two-dimensional model.

  A three-dimensional model 100 shown in FIG. 11 includes a rectangular parallelepiped base model 200 and a pocket hole 300 and a circular hole 400 penetrating the base model 200 in the thickness direction. The pocket hole 300 has a long hole shape in which a rectangular corner is formed in an R shape when viewed from above. The circular hole 400 is circular in a top view. Two pocket holes 300 and two circular holes 400 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each may be one or three or more.

  A two-dimensional model 10 shown in FIG. 12 includes a rectangular outer frame 20 corresponding to the outer edge of the base model 200, a pocket hole contour portion 30 corresponding to the pocket hole 300, and a circular hole contour portion 40 corresponding to the circular hole 400. Prepare. The pocket hole contour portions 30 are arranged on one diagonal line of the outer frame 20 and are symmetrical with respect to the center of the outer frame 20. Further, the plurality of circular hole contour portions 40 are arranged on the other diagonal line of the outer frame 20 and are arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the outer frame 20. Each of the outer frame 20, each pocket hole contour portion 30, and each circular hole contour portion 40 is designed by one drawing data as a plane figure. Therefore, the two-dimensional model 10 can be used as the basis of the three-dimensional model 100.

  On the other hand, unlike the two-dimensional model 10 shown in FIG. 12, the two-dimensional model 10 ′ shown in FIG. 13 is an incomplete plane figure. Specifically, the outer frame 20 ′ and the pocket hole contour portions 30 ′ only show the contours of the outer frame 20 and the pocket hole contour portions 30, respectively. Each semicircular hole contour portion 40 ′ is semicircular and has a shape different from that of each circular hole contour portion 40. That is, the two-dimensional model 10 ′ cannot be used as the basis of the three-dimensional model 100.

Since the “shape” menu 237 and the “difference” command 240 are already selected in the pocket hole design process S32′a, selection is omitted in the circular hole design process S32′b.

  Here, there are a plurality of differences in the design procedure between the case where the design is performed using the basic design input screen of Feature CAM and the case where the design is performed using the basic design input screen of Top CAM. That is, (a) the design item name and the number of design items in the corresponding design process are different. For example, in the base design process S2 of Feature CAM, the “Create” menu, “Solid” command, “Create from curve” command, and “Extrude” command are selected in this order, whereas the Top CAM base design process S2 In ', the "shape" menu and the "parallel sweep" command are selected in this order.

That is, the design procedure in the corresponding design process is different. Further, (c) For example, when the basic design input screen of Feature CAM is used, the pocket hole 300 is designed by inputting the depth in the pocket hole design process S31, but the basic design input screen of Top CAM is used. When the pocket hole 300 is designed, the pocket hole 300 cannot be designed unless the pocket hole forming process S32'a is passed after the depth is input in the pocket hole shape determining process S31'a. That is, the design process itself is different.

  As described above, since there are various differences including (a) to (c) described above, even an operator who is proficient in one design support system, when using the other design support system, Re-experience is required.

  Here, Patent Document 1 proposes a CAD operation learning device provided with a display processing means for displaying a teaching material screen of teaching material contents on a part of a display.

  Patent Document 2 proposes a user interface integrated system including a user interface program that provides a common user interface for a plurality of application programs.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the design support system in the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a design screen displayed on the display. Here, the “design support system” in this specification includes a support system having a CAD-only function, a support system having a CAM-only function, and a support system having a CAD and CAM function.
The design support system 1 includes a storage unit 2, a controller 3, and a display 4. The storage unit 2 stores image data of a basic design input screen 5 (corresponding to a “first basic design input screen” in claim 1) , a standardized design input screen 6, and a design screen 7 that displays a design drawing 8. Is remembered.

  The controller 3 reads out the image data of the basic design input screen 5, the standardized design input screen 6, and the design screen 7 from the storage unit 2 and displays them on the display 4. Here, the standardized design input screen 6 is displayed at a position avoiding the basic design input screen 5. Although details will be described later, the designer can select one of the basic design input screen 5 and the standardized design input screen 6 to perform the design work.

Here, the “standardized design input screen” is a “screen on which design information is input, and is a basic in a plurality of types of design support systems (corresponding to the“ basic design support system ”in claim 1) . The design input screen (corresponding to the “second basic design input screen” in claim 1) is defined as a standardized screen ”. Since the “basic design input screen” has been described above, description thereof will not be repeated.

  The present invention is characterized in that a standardized design input screen 6 is newly added while leaving an input screen (basic design input screen) of an existing design support system, instead of newly introducing a design support system. The design work performed using the standardized design input screen 6 can be basically performed using the basic design input screen 5.

  In the first embodiment, a design procedure until the controller performs a predetermined process will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a design work procedure from when the design support system is started until the controller 3 performs a predetermined process.

  The controller 3 activates the design support system 1 (S10). The controller 3 reads the image data of the basic design input screen 5, the standardized design input screen 6, and the design screen 7 from the storage unit 2 (S11), and the basic design input screen 5, the standardized design input screen 6, and the design screen 7 Is displayed on the display 4 (S12). Here, the basic design input screen 5 differs depending on the type of predetermined processing. Here, “predetermined processing” refers to “processing performed by the controller based on design information selectively input via one of the basic design input screen and the standardized design input screen”. When the design support system 1 is a CAD, for example, designing a design drawing on a design screen corresponds to “predetermined processing”. When the design support system 1 is a CAM, for example, creating a machining process corresponds to “predetermined processing”.

  In this embodiment, image data of an input screen activation menu for calling a desired standardized design input screen 6 is stored in the storage unit 2, and the controller 3 displays this input screen activation menu when the design support system 1 is activated. 4 is displayed. This point will be described in detail in a fourth embodiment to be described later. The controller 3 receives an input to the basic design input screen 5 or the standardized design input screen 6 (S13). When the input is completed (S14 Yes), the controller 3 executes a predetermined process (S15).

  The design procedure for designing the three-dimensional model 100 shown in FIG. 11 from the two-dimensional model 10 ′ shown in FIG. 11 using the standardized design input screen of the design support system 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Explained. FIG. 4 shows a design procedure when Feature CAM is used as the design support system 1. 69 to 82 show screen transitions of the display 4 that change in accordance with the design work based on the design procedure. For convenience of explanation, the design procedure will be described by dividing it into a correction process, a base design process, and a hole design process. The standardized design input screen 6 of this embodiment is a standardized version of the basic design input screen 5 of Feature CAM and the basic design input screen 5 of Top CAM. However, the standardized design input screen 6 of the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a standardized basic design input screen 5 of a design support system other than Feature CAM and Top CAM.

(About the base design process)
Referring to FIG. 69, the DXF data is read into the design support system 1 to display the two-dimensional model 10 ′. 70 and 71, in the base design process 100, after selecting the “Create Virtual 3D Model” menu 244, base model information (origin position, vertical, horizontal, height) is displayed on the base model information input screen 245. Is input, the base model 200 is designed.

(About the correction process)
The correction process S200 includes a pocket hole outline design process S201 and a circular hole outline design process S202. In the pocket hole contour design process S201, the pocket hole contour 30 is designed, and in the circular hole contour design process S202, the circular hole contour 40 is designed.

  Specifically, referring to FIGS. 72 and 73, after selecting the “composite curve” menu 242 in the pocket hole outline design process S201, a line is drawn along the outline of the pocket hole outline 30 ′, and the registered name By registering 243a, the pocket hole contour portion 30 is designed as one drawing data. In the present embodiment, the registered name 243a is “curve 13”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other registered names may be used.

  73 and 74, the same processing is performed on the other pocket hole contour portion 30 ', so that the other pocket hole contour portion 30 is designed as one drawing data. In the example of FIG. 74, the other pocket hole contour portion 30 is registered with the name “curve 14” (corresponding to the registered name 243b).

  Referring to FIGS. 75 and 76, after selecting the “arc circle” menu 241 in the circular hole contour design process S202, the semicircular hole contour is displayed on each of the radius information input screen 213 ′ and the center point information input screen 214 ′. The circular hole contour portion 40 is designed by inputting the radius information and the center point information of the portion 40 ′. The circular hole contour portion 40 is designed by performing the same process for the other semicircular hole contour portion 40 ′.

(About hole design process)
The hole design process S300 includes a pocket hole design process S301 for designing the pocket hole 300 and a circular hole design process S302 for designing the circular hole 400.

  Referring to FIG. 77, in pocket hole design process S301, after selecting pocket hole outline 30 with a mouse, the dimensions at each part of the hole are input to hole dimension input screen 311b, and “pocket (extracted hole)” menu 246 is entered. Is selected, the pocket hole 300 is designed. Referring to FIG. 78, the other pocket hole 300 is designed by performing the same operation on the other pocket hole contour portion 30.

  79 and 80, in the circular hole design process S302, after selecting the circular hole outline portion 40, the "pocket (extracted hole)" menu 246 is selected, and the size of each part of the hole is displayed on the hole size input screen 311b. By inputting and selecting “Yes” on the hole design confirmation screen 247, the circular hole 400 is designed. 81 and 82, the other circular hole 400 is designed by performing the same process on the other circular hole contour portion 40. Thereby, the three-dimensional model 100 is designed. In this embodiment, the “pocket (extract) hole” menu 246 is selected so that the dimensions of each part of the pocket hole 300 (circular hole 400) can be input. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, other methods may be used. Other methods will be described in detail in a second embodiment to be described later.

  Here, the effect of adding the standardized design input screen 6 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the conventional base design processes S2 and S2 ′, the design item names and the number of design items are not standardized, so that the design work cannot be smoothly performed when the design support system is changed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the design work using the standardized design input screen 6 can be performed by installing a predetermined program enabling design using the standardized design input screen 6 in the design support system. Therefore, even if the design support system changes, the design work can be smoothly advanced using the standardized design input screen 6. Further, in the present embodiment, the provision of the “create virtual 3D model” menu on the standardized design input screen 6 simplifies the design work in the base design process S100, further reducing the burden on the designer. Is done.

  Specifically, in both design support systems of Feature CAM and Top CAM, when performing base design using the standardized design input screen 6, the base is selected after the “Create Virtual 3D Model” menu 244 is selected. The design procedure of inputting model information may be followed. Therefore, the design procedure in the base design process S100 is unified, and the design complexity is reduced.

  Similarly, in both Feature CAM and Top CAM design support systems, when designing a hole using the standardized design input screen 6, select the “Pocket (Punch) Hole” menu after selecting each plane figure. Then, the design procedure of inputting the hole dimensions on the hole dimension input screen 311b may be followed. Therefore, the hole design process is unified to S300, and the design complexity is reduced.

  In other words, even when the same design drawing is created using different types of design support systems, the design can always be performed according to the same design procedure by inputting design information into the standardized design input screen 6. it can.

  In addition, the design support system according to the present invention does not require replacement of the design support system itself because the standardized design input screen 6 is displayed on the display 4 by reading a predetermined program. Therefore, it is possible to provide a design support system that can be used at low cost and can be widely used in society.

  Furthermore, since the standardized design input screen 6 is displayed at a position avoiding the basic design input screen 5, the display of the basic design input screen 5 is maintained on the display. Therefore, if an experienced worker who is familiar with the basic design input screen 5 provided in the design support system finds it difficult to use the standardized design input screen 6, avoid using the standardized design input screen 6 and perform basic design. By using the input screen 5, the design work can be continued.

(Second Embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 5, the standardized design input screen of this embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a standardized design input screen. The present embodiment is characterized by a method of inputting dimensions of hole shape portions having different shapes. The standardized design input screen 6 a includes a hole shape display screen 311, a hole size input screen 312, and a hole shape selection screen 313. The hole shape display screen 311 includes a pocket shape model 311a (corresponding to “first hole shape portion” in claim 5) and a two-step hole model 311b (corresponding to “second hole shape portion” in claim 5). , A to G, R1, and R2 (corresponding to “first symbol group” in claim 5) indicating dimensions of each part in the pocket shape model 311a, and dimensions of each part in the two-step hole model 311b A to D (corresponding to “second symbol group” in claim 5) are displayed. The two-step hole model 311b has a shape in which cylindrical hole portions having different diameters are continuously provided in two steps.

  In the hole dimension input screen 312, a symbol group consisting of A to G, R1, and R2 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the standardized design input screen 6a (corresponding to “predetermined direction” in claim 5). Are adjacent to each other, an input unit 312a for inputting dimensions of each part corresponding to each symbol is provided.

  The hole shape selection screen 313 is a screen for selecting a size target to be input to the hole size input screen 312 from the pocket shape model 311a and the two-stage hole model 311b. Specifically, when the downward triangle mark displayed at the right end of the hole shape selection screen 313 is clicked, the character information of “pocket shape model” and “two-stage hole model” is displayed, and the target can be selected. .

  When the pocket shape model 311a is selected on the hole shape selection screen 313, the controller 3 processes each dimension input to the input unit 312a of the hole dimension input screen 312 as the dimension of the pocket shape model 311a. When the two-step hole model 311b is selected on the hole shape selection screen 313, the controller 3 processes each dimension input to the input unit 312a of the hole dimension input screen 312 as the dimension of the two-step hole model 311b. .

  Here, the effect of providing the standardized design input screen 6a with the hole shape display screen 311, the hole size input screen 312 and the hole shape selection screen 313 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  Normally, when creating the pocket shape model 311a, the two-step hole model 311b, etc. displayed on the hole shape display screen 311, each model is registered in advance as a standard pattern and used for design work by reading it out as appropriate. doing. However, since it is necessary to sequentially register patterns with different dimensions and the like as fixed patterns, the fixed patterns increase, and it takes time to search for a desired model from the storage unit, and the load is large. On the other hand, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the hole shape can be easily adjusted by simply changing the dimension input to each input unit 312a of the dimension input screen 312 in the standardized design input screen 6a, so that there is no need to register various fixed patterns. It becomes. Therefore, the work load can be greatly reduced as compared with a normal design work.

  Further, another effect obtained by providing the standardized design input screen 6a with the hole shape display screen 311, the hole size input screen 312 and the hole shape selection screen 313 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view of a solid model having a two-step hole designed in the thickness direction. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the solid model shown in FIG. 6 cut in the thickness direction. Here, the solid model 9 is a rectangular parallelepiped base model. The two-stage hole 11 is configured by connecting the cylindrical holes 11a and 11b along the axial direction so as to be concentric when viewed from the bottom. Normally, when designing the two-step hole 11, it is necessary to design the cylindrical hole 11b by designing the cylindrical hole 11a and then rotating the solid model 9 so that the bottom surface 90 of the solid model 9 faces upward. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the two-step hole model 311b is selected as the hole shape on the hole shape selection screen 313, and predetermined dimensions are input to the input units 312a corresponding to A to D, so that FIGS. The shape of the two-step hole 11 shown can be designed. Therefore, compared with the normal design work, the operation of rotating the solid model 9 and the twice design of the cylindrical hole become unnecessary.

  That is, the standardized design input screen 6a includes the hole shape display screen 311, the hole size input screen 312, and the hole shape selection screen 313, so that holes can be designed easily and model creation time can be shortened.

  The standardized design input screen 6a may include a non-display button 60. The operator can hide the standardized design input screen 6 by clicking the non-display button 60 with a cursor or the like (not shown). In this case, when the design work is performed using the basic design input screen, the display content of the display 4 is simplified, so that the design work can be smoothly advanced.

(Third embodiment)

  In the present embodiment, the details of the standardized design input screen 6b will be described by taking as an example the case of creating a front hole machining step when machining a pocket hole based on the three-dimensional model 100. Here, “tip hole processing” is processing in which a small hole smaller than the hole to be processed is processed in advance, and the hole to be processed is processed after the tip hole processing. The “machining process” is a machining procedure required when performing metal machining with a machine tool based on a designed model, and includes tool selection and machining dimension setting.

  Referring to FIG. 84, after selecting “Pre-drilling availability” menu 251, by selecting “Pre-drilling start” menu 252, a pre-drilling guidance screen 258 is displayed on the display. According to this display, “pattern drill” is selected from the machining method selection menu 253, “center” is selected from the tool classification selection menu 254, and then an arbitrary center drill is selected from the catalog menu 255. Then, the “tool determination” menu 256 is selected, and the machining depth is input to a machining depth input screen (not shown) displayed on the display.

  Referring to FIG. 85, after selecting “drill hole” from tool classification selection menu 254 and selecting tool name “DRL17.0” from catalog menu 255, “tool determination” menu 256, “execution” menu By selecting 257 in this order, a processing comment input instruction screen (not shown) is displayed on the display. By inputting a machining comment in accordance with this display, a drill machining guidance screen 259 is displayed. Referring to FIGS. 85 and 86, a machining procedure selection screen (not shown) is displayed by selecting a machining position point or profile according to this display. By selecting an arbitrary machining procedure from this machining procedure selection screen and inputting machining data, a machining process is created, and a leading hole 260 is created in the three-dimensional model 100. In the present embodiment, “DRL 17.0” is selected from the catalog menu 255, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the selected drill can be changed as appropriate according to the diameter of the hole. .

  In the present embodiment, for the process for creating the front hole machining process (corresponding to the “process for creating the machining process” in claim 3), the controller 3 is selected by selecting an arbitrary menu provided in the standardized design input screen. Includes processing for displaying the tip drilling guidance screen 258 or the drilling guidance screen 259 (guidance screen) on the display. Accordingly, the worker can perform the work in accordance with the guidance while continuing the work, and the work load is further reduced.

  The machining process described above is a machining process created using a standardized design input screen displayed on the display when the predetermined program is installed in the Feature CAM. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a similar machining process can be created by using a standardized design input screen that is displayed by installing the predetermined program in another design support system.

The CAM process 122 includes, for example, “drilling” 122a and “mill” 122b. “Drilling” is an abbreviation for drilling, and “mill” is an abbreviation for milling.

  The storage unit 2 stores image data of standardized design input screens that differ depending on the processing contents. The controller 3 calls a standardized design input screen corresponding to the process selected from the input screen activation menu 12 and displays it on the display 4. For example, when “2D” 121a is selected, a standardized design input screen corresponding thereto is displayed on the display 4, and when “3D” 121b is selected, a standardized design input screen corresponding thereto is displayed. The menu contents of these standardized design input screens displayed on the display 4 are different from each other.
