Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] The invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The method for predicting the wear life of suspension control arm pin mounting holes first establishes a kinematic and dynamic simulation model of a double wishbone independent suspension, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown, a kinematic simulation analysis was conducted based on a single-axle design axle load of 10 tons. The relationship curves between the radial force at each pin of the suspension control arm and the wheel runout are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Within the wheel travel range, the maximum radial force at point 7 of the upper control arm pin is 3.8 x 10. 4 N; The maximum radial force at 8 points on the lower control arm front pin is 0.04 x 10 N. 4 N; The maximum radial force at 9 points on the rear pivot of the lower control arm is 5.2 x 10 N. 4 N.

[0031] The kinematic analysis of the suspension system shows that the maximum force is experienced at the rear pin 9 of the lower control arm. Taking the simplified model 21 of the lower control arm rear pin 9 and the mounting base as the analysis object, the maximum radial force at the rear pin 9 of the lower control arm is 5.2 x 10⁻⁶. 4N is the input load. Finite element analysis was performed on the simplified model 21 of the lower control arm rear pin 9 and the mounting base, considering the effect of frictional torque (friction coefficient f = 0.15). The analysis results show that the maximum shear stress of the mounting base is 13 MPa.

[0032] Based on the IBM wear calculation method in tribology and referring to the relationship of fatigue curves for metallic materials, a formula is established to determine the relationship between the number of strokes and the maximum shear stress under the condition of zero wear:

[0033]

[0034] From ①, it can be seen that the fatigue life limit is τ max At that time, the number of lifetime travels N is:

[0035]

[0036] In the formula: τ max The maximum shear stress experienced by the mounting base is 13 MPa.

[0037] τ s The shear yield strength of the material is 189 MPa.

[0038] γ0 is the friction coefficient corresponding to a stroke count of 2000. The coefficient is 0.2 for dry friction and 1 for hydrodynamic friction. The friction form of this invention is dry friction, with a value of 0.2.

[0039] Substituting the above parameter values ​​into ②, we can see that the number of strokes in the service life N is 2.97 x 10^6. 7 .

[0040] The number of daily wear cycles (N) of the pin mounting seat is calculated based on the suspension misalignment frequency. r :

[0041] N r =60×60×f×h③

[0042] In the formula: f is the suspension offset frequency, which is 1.2Hz;

[0043] h represents the daily working hours, which is 4 hours.

[0044] Substituting into ③, we can see that the mounting bracket wears out N times per day. r The number is 17280.

[0045] Wear-out days calculation D:

[0046]

[0047] N, N rSubstitute into the formula ④, 4 hours a day, according to the calculation and analysis can be known, in the case of no wear and tear of the swing pin shaft and mounting seat, 4 hours a day can be sustained for 1719 days.
