Abstract
There are heterogeneous problems between the CAD model and the assembly process document. In the planning stage of assembly process, these heterogeneous problems can decrease the efficiency of information interaction. Based on knowledge graph, this paper proposes an assembly information model (KGAM) to integrate geometric information from CAD model, non-geometric information and semantic information from assembly process document. KGAM describes the integrated assembly process information as a knowledge graph in the form of “entity-relationship-entity” and “entity-attribute-value”, which can improve the efficiency of information interaction. Taking the trial assembly stage of a certain type of aero-engine compressor rotor component as an example, KGAM is used to get its assembly process knowledge graph. The trial data show the query and update rate of assembly attribute information is improved by more than once. And the query and update rate of assembly semantic information is improved by more than twice. In conclusion, KGAM can solve the heterogeneous problems between the CAD model and the assembly process document and improve the information interaction efficiency.
