To illuminate the necessity of model evolvement and rouse,dynamics of injection molding machine' sproduct models are analyzed.The performance knowledge is used to support the model evolvement andreuse.The driven factors of mechanical product model are concluded.The dynamic characteristics ofproduct model are described.The.performance knowledge is used to improve specific evolvement process.The upper-layer passing rules are adopted in the mechanical product comfiguration design.The rules ofproduct model evolvement are investigated.And the model evolvement of injection molding machine hasthree levels.Practical and effective realization arithmetic is given to roalize the performance knowledgereuse.Finally,HT1800X1N series injection molding machines are taken as examples to illuminate thatthe arithmetic is correct and practical.
Product customization has been recognized as an effective means to implement mass cus-tomization (MC). A new theory and method for MC-oriented evolutionary design of configuration product is presented based on the study of developing law of evolutionary design in integrated envi-ronment, which focuses on the innovation and reuse properties of configuration product. The key technologies for general requirement modeling in quick response to customer requirement, multi-level stepwise configuration optimization driven by customer requirement and evolutionary deduction of product variable structure based on configuration association are thoroughly investigated. The suc-cessful application of the presented method in the development of real-life products demonstrates its utility, flexibility and robusticity.
