Research on Mechanical Product Design System Based on C-K Theory

Abstract

In the machine tool manufacturing industry, most of the design is based on previous resources, in terms of similar structure; the traditional mechanical design takes the approach of repeated modeling, but this approach greatly limits the scope of the personnel involved in design activities. It costs a lot of labor in almost identical work. In response to this situation, this paper introduces C-K design theory, combined advanced design guideline and mechanical design process. Take the existing design rules, constraints, characteristics of models as available knowledge of knowledge space in C-K theory, and the initial structure created by design requirements and available knowledge of knowledge space as the initial concept of concept space. Expand concept space and knowledge space with the dividing, learning and reasoning in order to provide more available knowledge for serial design activities. The mechanical product rapid design system is developed on the Solidworks, and it will increase the reuse rate of enterprise resources, reduce the error rate in design activities, improve the product quality, and shorten the production cycle.
