产品模块化设计理论、技术与应用研究进展

作为实现大批量定制生产、敏捷制造的重要一环,产品模块化设计通过对不同模块的组合实现了以有限资源生产出尽可能多的产品品种。这种设计方法已成为研究热点,并被认为是当前工程领域中最优设计的目标之一。然而,产品模块化设计的理论研究则落后于其实践应用,解决方案也多表现在概念阶段上。通过研究模块化设计相关文献,论述了模块化产品设计的有关概念、方法、关键技术及其应用实例;最后,提出了产品模块化设计的研究热点课题和发展趋势。

REVIEW OF THEORY,KEY TECHNOLOGIES AND ITS APPLICATION OF MODULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

As an important approach to realize MC and AM, modular product design can produce more variety of products with limited resources by combination of different modules. Such method is viewed as a goal of good design practice in current engineering. However, it is not received sufficient attention in the literature, and most solutions are proposed at an abstract level. The literature on modular product design focusing on definitions, methodologies, key technologies and its application is reviewed. Finally, some focused research issues on modular product design are formulated.
