Abstract

Method for automatically generating and managing engineering drawings of customized stamping press machine includes following steps. Plural customized parameters are inputted and a stored location is selected through a parameter setting interface of engineering drawings. Assembly file of stamping press machine and plural part files corresponding to plural parts composed of the assembly file are read. Recognition process is performed on each part according to the customized parameters and a customized design rule base of the stamping press machine, thereby determining whether the parts contain plural customized parts that need to regenerate the engineering drawings. CAD software is called to automatically generate plural customized part files corresponding to the customized parts. The CAD software is called to automatically generate plural customized engineering drawings, a customized assembly file and a part list according to the customized parts files. Aforementioned automatically generated results are stored in the stored location.

Claims (44)

1 . A method for automatically generating and managing engineering drawings of customized stamping press machine, comprising:

inputting a plurality of customized parameters and selecting a stored location through a parameter setting interface of engineering drawings;

reading an assembly file of a stamping press machine and reading a plurality of part files respectively corresponding to a plurality of parts composed of the assembly file;

performing a recognition process on each of the parts according to the customized parameters and a customized design rule base of the stamping press machine, thereby determining whether the parts contain a plurality of customized parts that need to regenerate the engineering drawings;

calling a CAD software to automatically generate a plurality of customized part files respectively corresponding to the customized parts;

calling the CAD software to automatically generate a plurality of customized engineering drawings respectively corresponding to the customized parts according to the customized part files;

calling the CAD software to automatically generate a customized assembly file and a part list according to the customized parts files; and

storing the customized parts files, the customized engineering drawings, the customized assembly file and the part list in the stored location.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recognition process comprises:

reading a part name of each of the parts;

determining whether one of the parts belongs to a standard product or a common part of the stamping press machine according to the part name of the one of the parts;

determining whether the one of the parts needs to regenerate the engineering drawings according to the customized parameters and a customized part design rule of the customized design rule base when determining that the one of the parts does not belong to the standard product or the common part; and

determining that the one of the parts is one of the customized parts when determining that the one of the parts needs to regenerate the engineering drawings.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the recognition process further comprises:

determining whether the one of the parts belongs to the standard product according to a stand product category list of the customized design rule base; and

determining whether the one of the parts belongs to the common part according to a common part category list of the customized design rule base.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the recognition process further comprises:

ending the recognition process of the one of the parts when determining that the one of the parts belongs to the standard product or the common part; and

ending the recognition process of the one of the parts when determining that the one of the parts does not need to regenerate the engineering drawings.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing a file name of each of the customized parts files and the customized engineering drawings, thereby managing at least one of a version, a drawing title, a drawing number, a generated date and a generated time of each of the customized parts files and the customized engineering drawings.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the customized parameters comprises at least one of a machine type selection, a working tonnage, a table size, a mold clamping height, a machine quantity, a machine number and a designer name.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CAD software is SolidEdge, Inventor, SolidWorks, or other CAD software with a secondary development function library.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CAD software is called by directly calling or indirectly calling a secondary development function library of the CAD software.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter setting interface comprises at least one of a graphic data interface, a text data interface and a digit data interface.

10 . A system for automatically generating and managing engineering drawings of customized stamping press machine, comprising:

a computer server; and

an electronic device communicatively connected to the computer server, wherein the electronic device comprises:

a parameter setting interface of engineering drawings;

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor connected to the memory and executing the instructions to perform steps of:

inputting a plurality of customized parameters and selecting a stored location of the computer server through the parameter setting interface;

reading an assembly file of a stamping press machine and reading a plurality of part files respectively corresponding to a plurality of parts composed of the assembly file from the computer server;

performing a recognition process on each of the parts according to the customized parameters and a customized design rule base of the stamping press machine, thereby determining whether the parts contain a plurality of customized parts that need to regenerate the engineering drawings;

calling a CAD software to automatically generate a plurality of customized part files respectively corresponding to the customized parts;

calling the CAD software to automatically generate a plurality of customized engineering drawings respectively corresponding to the customized parts according to the customized part files;

calling the CAD software to automatically generate a customized assembly file and a part list according to the customized parts files; and

transmitting the customized parts files, the customized engineering drawings, the customized assembly file and the part list to the computer server, thereby storing the customized parts files, the customized engineering drawings, the customized assembly file and the part list in the stored location of the computer server.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions to perform steps of:

establishing a file name of each of the customized parts files and the customized engineering drawings, thereby managing at least one of a version, a drawing title, a drawing number, a generated date and a generated time of each of the customized parts files and the customized engineering drawings.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the customized parameters comprises at least one of a machine type selection, a working tonnage, a table size, a mold clamping height, a machine quantity, a machine number and a designer name.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the CAD software is SolidEdge, Inventor, SolidWorks, or other CAD software with a secondary development function library.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the CAD software is called by directly calling or indirectly calling a secondary development function library of the CAD software.

15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the parameter setting interface comprises at least one of a graphic data interface, a text data interface and a digit data interface.
