为了实现飞机零部件等复杂产品装配规划的自动化，开发了一个装配规划与仿真系统AutoAssem。本文给出了该系统的体系结构，讨论了系统的主要组成部分以及各组成部分中的关键技术。系统的核心功能包括数字化装配建模、装配序列规划、装配路径规划、可视化和仿真。与现有的装配规划系统相比，该系统的新颖之处在于它允许以最少的人工干预从CAD装配模型自动生成装配计划。在该系统内，开发了新的方法：㈠创建装配关系矩阵; ㈡规划装配顺序; ㈢生成装配路径; ㈣可视化和模拟装配计划。为了说明该系统的应用，本文以蜗轮蜗杆减速器的装配为例进行了演示。AutoAssem已成功应用于各种复杂产品的虚拟装配设计。
To automate assembly planning for complex products such as aircraft components, an assembly planning and simulation system called AutoAssem has been developed. In this paper, its system architecture is presented; the main components and the key technologies in each component are discussed. The core functions of the system that have been focused include Digital Assembly Modeling, Assembly Sequence Planning (ASP), Path Planning, Visualization, and Simulation. In contrast to existing assembly planning systems, one of the novelties of the system is it allows the assembly plans be automatically generated from a CAD assembly model with minimal manual interventions. Within the system, new methodologies have been developed to: (i) create Assembly Relationship Matrices; (ii) plan assembly sequences; (iii) generate assembly paths; and (iv) visualize and simulate assembly plans. To illustrate the application of the system, the assembly of a worm gear reducer is used as an example throughout this paper for demonstration purpose. AutoAssem has been successfully applied to virtual assembly design for various complex products so far.
