Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile component noise control, and in particular to a method and system for suppressing noise of an automobile rear main reducer assembly. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely mention background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid development of the automobile industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for automobile riding comfort. NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) is one of the main considerations.

[0004] During the operation of the RDU (Rear Drive Unit) of a car, due to the existence of its own dynamic imbalance, the unstable exciting force it is subjected to and the transmission error during the meshing process, a medium-high frequency noise called gear whine will be caused. At the same time, the exciting force generated will cause torsional and bending vibrations centered on the transmission shaft. This vibration centered on the transmission shaft is transmitted to the body through the connection point between the suspension longitudinal arm and the body, thereby generating noise that can be felt by the passengers. These noises will not only affect the riding experience of the passengers in the car, but may also have a negative impact on the overall performance of the car.

[0005] Some traditional passive noise reduction measures are difficult to effectively suppress noise in a wide frequency band. At the same time, optimizing gear design parameters and improving the vibration transmission path of the rear main reducer assembly face problems such as high cost and complex structure. In order to solve the noise problem, the specific methods currently adopted by the mainstream are as follows:

[0006] (1) Install sound insulation panels or sound insulation cotton on the vehicle body floor; isolate and absorb the noise path; (2) Press-fit the torsional vibration damper at the RDU flange to optimize vibration and reduce noise; (3) Modify the software strategy in the controller to disconnect and reduce torque of the four-wheel drive system at risk speeds; (4) Reduce the suspension stiffness of the subframe RDU connection point and absorb vibration through bushings. However, the above methods still have certain limitations, and the specific problems are as follows:

[0007] 1. The vehicle chassis is used in a harsh environment. Chassis sound insulation products will fail due to stone impact and water immersion, and the sound insulation products in the cabin will compress the effective space for passengers, increase production costs, and have limited effect in dealing with low-frequency noise. Low-frequency noise has a longer wavelength and can easily bypass the barrier of traditional sound insulation materials and enter the car.

[0008] 2. Elastic elements (such as springs) and damping elements (such as rubber, etc.) inside the torsional damper will experience problems such as wear and aging during long-term use. For example, rubber parts may lose their elasticity due to the relatively harsh temperature around the exhaust system, resulting in performance degradation, which in turn affects the normal operation of the torsional damper. Moreover, as the usage time increases, the damping effect of the torsional damper will gradually decrease, and it may need to be replaced regularly, which also increases the usage cost and the complexity of maintenance.

[0009] 3. Affect the four-wheel drive performance: At the same time, the disconnection of the four-wheel drive system will cause the passengers in the car to feel a sense of interrupted power output and a delay in the subsequent power recovery; Disconnecting and reducing the torque of the four-wheel drive system at the risk speed will cause the transmission components to bear a large impact. This sudden torque change will cause the force conditions between components such as the drive shaft and differential to change, easily resulting in increased wear of the transmission components. If this continues for a long time, it may shorten the service life of these components and increase the maintenance cost.

[0010] 4. Adjusting the bushing stiffness of the subframe results in a larger dynamic envelope of the RDU, reducing the safety clearance with surrounding parts and increasing the vehicle layout risk.

[0011] The existing methods for suppressing the noise of the rear main reducer in related technologies do not consider these influencing factors, resulting in an unsatisfactory control effect on the rear main reducer assembly, low control accuracy, and easy to cause passenger complaints.

[0056] In the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] Existing noise control methods for automotive rear main reduction assemblies mainly focus on improving the vehicle's structure, which affects the service life and maintenance cost of automotive components, and the noise control effect is not ideal, affecting the passenger experience. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for suppressing noise in an automotive rear main reduction assembly, deploying a recurrent neural network on an FPGA chip, using its superior computing performance to improve data processing efficiency, and adaptively updating in combination with real-time operating condition parameters of the vehicle to improve the accuracy of noise suppression.

[0059] Next, in combination with Figures 1-4 , a method for suppressing noise in an automotive rear main reduction assembly disclosed in this embodiment will be described in detail. The method for suppressing noise in an automotive rear main reduction assembly includes the following steps:

[0060] S1. In the four-wheel drive mode of the vehicle, obtain the noise data inside the cockpit and the vibration data of the rear main reduction assembly, calculate the differences between the noise data and the vibration data and the vehicle calibration data. If the difference is greater than the preset threshold, execute S2; otherwise, continue to obtain the noise data inside the cockpit and the vibration data of the rear main reduction assembly.

[0061] Here, the noise data inside the cockpit is collected by a microphone and can be represented as a noise signal sequence X N , and the vibration data of the rear main reduction assembly is collected by a vibration sensor installed on the rear main reduction assembly and can be represented as a vibration load spectrum Y N . The vibration load spectrum can determine the frequency and amplitude information of the noise source during the noise analysis process.

[0062] The above sensors should have high sensitivity and high fidelity to ensure that the noise signals generated by the rear main reduction assembly can be accurately captured.

[0063] Specifically, perform a vector subtraction on the noise signal sequence X N and the vibration load spectrum Y N with the calibration signal sequence provided by the vehicle manufacturer to obtain the absolute value K of the signal difference. When K is greater than the given noise threshold, execute S2.

[0064] In this embodiment, the noise threshold is 50 dB.

[0065] Furthermore, before executing S2, a pop-up window is displayed on the touch screen to remind whether to execute noise control. If the user does not intervene, S2 will be automatically executed.

[0066] S2. Process the noise data and the vibration data through a trained recurrent neural network to obtain the noise prediction signal for the next moment.

[0067] Further, before executing S2, digital signal processing is performed on the noise data and vibration data through an FPGA chip. Specifically, first, the XY composed of the noise data and vibration data is processed successively through the Cooley-Tukey algorithm (butterfly algorithm) and Fourier transform, so that the signal is transformed from a high number of points to multiple low numbers of points, and the noise frequency domain signal sequence XY is output. N T .

[0068] It should be noted that the entire Fourier transform can be composed of the Fourier transform of base 2 and base 4. The 2k FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can be realized through 5 base 4 and 1 base 2 transforms, the 4k FFT transform can be realized through 6 base 4 transforms, and the 8k FFT can be realized through 6 base 4 and 1 base 2 transforms. The butterfly operation unit is the base 2 / 4 module.

[0069] In this embodiment, the RAM of the FPGA chip is used to store the input data, the intermediate results during the operation, and the data after the operation is completed, and the ROM is used to store the rotation factor table; the algorithm and database can be upgraded through the NB-LOT module integrated in the FPGA chip.

[0070] The control module of the FPGA chip generates control timing and address signals through state machine logic to coordinate the operation processes of each sub-module inside the FPGA, specifically including:

[0071] 1. Timing control: Define the phased clock beats of subsequent FFT, RNN prediction, and fuzzy inference.

[0072] 2. Address management: Dynamically allocate the read and write addresses of the RAM according to the operation stage (such as the original data storage address 0x0000 - 0x0FFF, the intermediate result address 0x1000 - 0x1FFF), and trigger the reading of the rotation factor table in the ROM.

[0073] 3. Result output: Write the finally generated reverse acoustic control instruction into the specified RAM area for the speaker drive module to call.

[0074] ​FPGA chips have the characteristics of high parallel processing ability and low latency. They can quickly process the input noisy signals. FPGAs can easily implement various digital filter structures, such as FIR (Finite Impulse Response filter) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response filter), so as to customize the frequency characteristics of the RDU. Digital signal noise reduction in FPGAs is a key technology to optimize signal quality and improve system stability. Through effective noise reduction, the signal processing accuracy can be improved, errors can be reduced, the characteristics of noise signals can be more accurately identified, so as to generate a more appropriate inverted noise signal to cancel the original noise, improve the stability of the noise reduction effect, and avoid large fluctuations in the noise reduction effect. And FPGAs can perform resource allocation and customization according to specific signal processing requirements. In this application, signals of multiple channels need to be processed (such as environmental noise collected by multiple microphones), and resources such as logic gates and storage units of FPGAs can be flexibly allocated to meet the processing requirements of different channel signals and improve the overall noise reduction efficiency.

[0075] In this embodiment, the FPGA chip can be of the Xilinx Zynq-7000 series, and the number of logic units ≥ 85k.

[0076] As an implementation method, S2 is specifically: the noise frequency domain signal sequence XY T is input into the recurrent neural network RNN for processing. The noise frequency domain signal sequence XY T is unfolded in time to obtain a neuron structure, and after passing through the tanh activation function and the sigmoid activation function, a vector matrix XY K is output. The vector matrix XY K is subjected to an inverse Fourier transform to convert the signal back to the time domain, and the final noise prediction result is output to provide accurate basic data for the future time period for subsequent noise suppression.

[0077] Moreover, through the processing of the recurrent neural network, the eigenvalue of the input data is captured, making the output result lighter.

[0078] Specifically, combined with Figure 4 , the weight from the input layer to the hidden layer is represented by U, which abstracts the original input as the input of the hidden layer; the weight W from the hidden layer to the hidden layer is responsible for scheduling memory and performing network memory control; the weight V from the hidden layer to the output layer performs a secondary abstraction from the hidden layer and serves as the final output.

[0079] Figure 4 In, S tis the "memory" at time t; f() represents a non-linear transformation function, such as an activation function like tanh, S t represents a neuron that has two outputs; o t represents the output at time t (the output result after neuron activation). For example, if it is to predict the next signal, it may be the probability of each signal value output by sigmoid (softmax), O t = softamx(VS t ), where Softmax represents a normalized exponential function, with each element between 0 and 1 and the sum equal to 1.

[0080] Furthermore, when training a recurrent neural network, first, select a recurrent neural network, determine hyperparameters such as the number of layers of the network and the number of neurons in each layer, and construct the model structure; then, based on the previously collected and preprocessed data, with the minimization of the mean square error of the time-frequency characteristics of the noise-free reference signal and the actual working condition vibration signal as the training objective, train the recurrent neural network to optimize the parameters of the recurrent neural network.

[0081] Furthermore, to avoid the problem of gradient loss caused by too large a gradient, the memory gradient W is intercepted by an algorithm to prevent the problem of signal explosion.

[0082] In this embodiment, the algorithm can be truncation by value and truncation by norm. For example, when training a recurrent neural network, if the gradient exceeds a certain threshold, it is limited within that threshold to avoid excessive parameter updates.

[0083] S3. Obtain the real-time working condition data of the vehicle, construct a real-time feature vector representing the noise and the working condition according to the real-time working condition data and the noise prediction signal, and use the fuzzy rule base for fuzzy inference based on the real-time feature vector to generate a noise control strategy to suppress noise through the corresponding noise reverse sound wave. Specifically, it includes:

[0084] S301. Extract the time-domain features of the noise prediction signal to obtain the corresponding root mean square value; perform band-pass filtering on the noise prediction signal, perform time-frequency conversion on the band-pass filtered noise prediction signal through FFT to obtain the noise prediction frequency-domain signal and perform feature extraction to determine the meshing frequency f m and the sideband amplitude A side ; perform normalization processing on the real-time working condition data to obtain the standard rotational speed and the standard torque; combine the root mean square value, the meshing frequency, the sideband amplitude, the standard rotational speed, and the standard torque to generate a real-time feature vector

[0085] Among them, the meshing frequency is expressed as:

[0086] f m= f 1 ·z 1 = f 2 ·z 2 = (n 1 / 60)·z 1 = (n 2 / 60)·z 2 ;

[0087] In the formula, f 1 represents the rotational frequency of the driving wheel, f 2 represents the rotational frequency of the driven wheel, z 1 represents the number of teeth of the driving wheel, z 2 represents the number of teeth of the driven wheel, n 1 represents the rotational speed of the driving wheel, n 2 represents the rotational speed of the driven wheel.

[0088] The root mean square value is expressed as:

[0089]

[0090] Band-pass filtering is expressed as:

[0091] x(t) = Butterworth(x(t), f low , f high );

[0092] The characteristic frequency band of the main reduction gear meshing is retained through band-pass filtering (such as 500 kHz - 2 kHz).

[0093] The standard rotational speed is expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] The standard torque is expressed as:

[0096]

[0097] Here, in the spectrogram, the sidebands are frequency components symmetrically distributed on both sides centered on the meshing frequency, and the sideband amplitudes can be directly read through existing software. In addition, the relative ratio of the sideband amplitude to the meshing frequency amplitude can be used as an index to judge the severity of gear faults. As the gear fault develops, the sideband amplitude may increase relative to the meshing frequency amplitude.

[0098] S302. According to the membership degree u of each rule in the fuzzy rule base corresponding to the real-time feature vector ij, calculate the real-time control parameters by weighted calculation, and screen the corresponding phase compensation and damping gain in the fuzzy rule base according to the real-time control parameters as the corresponding noise control strategy, so as to input to the cabin speakers and headrest speakers to generate noise reverse sound waves cooperatively. The phase of the noise reverse sound wave is opposite to that of the noise prediction signal, and the amplitude of the noise reverse sound wave is dynamically adjusted according to the inference result.

[0099] In noise control, the opposite phase of the noise reverse sound wave to the noise prediction signal is the basis for achieving destructive interference. And the degree of phase compensation will indirectly affect the amplitude adjustment. For example, if the phase compensation is inaccurate, in order to achieve a better noise cancellation effect, it may be necessary to adjust the amplitude. Assuming there is an ideal cancellation point, when the phase deviates from this ideal value, it may be necessary to increase or decrease the amplitude of the reverse sound wave to make up for the insufficient cancellation effect.

[0100] Among them, the real-time control parameters are expressed as:

[0101]

[0102] Furthermore, before executing S3, it also includes: constructing the fuzzy rule base by using the improved fuzzy C-means clustering method, and dynamically updating the fuzzy rule base by using real-time data; the specific process is as follows:

[0103] Step 1, obtain the original vibration signal, original noise signal and working condition parameters, perform preprocessing and feature extraction, and obtain multiple feature vector sequences representing noise and working conditions

[0104]

[0105] The data processing method here is the same as that in S301 and will not be elaborated here.

[0106] Step 2, use the fuzzy C-means method to cluster the feature vector sequence F N and divide the fuzzy rule nodes R j .

[0107] Among them, the membership function corresponding to the fuzzy rule node R j is expressed as:

[0108]

[0109] In the formula, c j represents the clustering center, m represents the fuzzy index, and C represents the number of rules.

[0110] Furthermore, in each fuzzy inference, update the clustering center c j and width σ j of the membership function according to the real-time feature vector.

[0111] By adjusting the mathematical representation of the fuzzy rule base in real time, the robustness and accuracy of noise suppression are improved; essentially, the fuzzy rule base is updated through online self-organizing learning to meet the high-precision noise reduction under complex working conditions.

[0112] Exemplarily, the updated cluster center is expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] The updated width is expressed as:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, η represents the learning rate, which controls the convergence speed.

[0117] Based on this, the cluster center and width can be continuously optimized according to new data, so that the fuzzy rule base can be adaptively adjusted according to the vehicle state changes and is suitable for different working conditions.

[0118] Step 3: Each cluster center corresponds to a fuzzy rule, which is stored in the fuzzy rule base and expressed as:

[0119] IFF belongs to R j , THEN control parameter is phase compensation, K j is the damping gain.

[0120] To sum up, the method of generating a noise suppression strategy through fuzzy inference in this step has strong adaptability. Through self-organizing learning, it can cope with complex working conditions (such as sudden changes in speed and load changes). According to the vibration, noise, and working condition data collected in real time, the control strategy is dynamically adjusted, significantly reducing the noise of the rear main reducer assembly; the fuzzy inference calculation amount is low, meeting the real-time requirements of noise control during the driving of four-wheel drive vehicles; and the fuzzy rule base is stored in the form of "IF-THEN", which is convenient for engineers to debug and optimize.

[0121] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a shift button can be pre-installed on the side of the car seat. The user can divide the noise reduction depth into three gears according to their own noise reduction needs through the pre-installed shift button and the program OTA (Over The Air wireless download technology). The noise reduction depths are 40%, 70%, and 100% of the maximum noise reduction depth respectively.

[0122] It has been experimentally proven that after being processed by the method for suppressing the noise of the rear main reducer assembly of the vehicle described in this embodiment, the 1 / 3 octave band sound pressure level attenuation ≥ 15 dB(A), the speech intelligibility index is improved by ≥ 0.25, the transmission loss in the 20 - 2000 Hz frequency band ≥ 18 dB, and the phase delay ≤ 0.15 ms.

[0123] Embodiment 2
