生长型产品族设计平台

分析了面向大批量定制要求和开展产品族设计的研究现状,提出了用生长型设计自动化技术开展产品族设计研究,以解决产品族设计中共性与个性之间、模块化与创新之间的矛盾,从而提高定制的灵活性。介绍了生长型产品族设计平台及其主要功能:需求分解与可操作标准化、按需创成结构、标准化广义定位模式运用、现有零件资源匹配等。通过设计过程实例说明了生长型产品族设计平台的应用潜力。

Growth Product Family Design Platform

Based on analyzing the requirements of mass customization and the research state of the product family design, the growth design automation technology, which is comprised of growth design mechanism and product family generation, is proposed for product family design in order to solve the contradictions between commonness and personality, and that between modularity and innovation to increase the flexibility of customization and high efficiency of design automation and manufacturing. The growth product family design platform is introduced and the following main functions are discussed: customer requirement decomposition and standardization according to operability, generation process of structure by requirements, utilization of standardized and generalized positioning modes to cut down number of manufacturing features generated in design process, and mapping conceptual structure to existing parts to minimize new efforts for new products. The example is given to show how growth design works for product family design and the potential in mass customization.
