Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to a method, device, equipment and medium for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit. Background Art

[0002] Some electric vehicles achieve rapid battery swapping by adopting battery packs to solve problems such as too long charging time of electric vehicles and range anxiety. The battery pack needs to be fixed through a locking mechanism, and there is a pin-type locking mechanism that can achieve a one-point control and multi-point linkage locking and unlocking method. The main body of the pin-type locking mechanism is connected to the vehicle body end through a pre-tightening elastic unit; the lifting platform of the battery swapping station compresses the pre-tightening elastic unit through the main body of the lifting locking mechanism, so that the locking mechanism in the main body of the locking mechanism is tightened and disengaged, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking process.

[0003] The functions of the pre-tightening elastic unit include offsetting the flatness tolerance of the mating surface between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end to prevent the locking mechanisms of the same battery pack from not being able to be locked simultaneously; ensuring sufficient stiffness to prevent unlocking during driving due to the vertical vibration of the battery pack; requiring a certain amount of re-compressibility to ensure sufficient unlocking stroke of the locking mechanism; and reducing the vibration noise caused by the vibration of the battery pack. To meet the above functions of the pre-tightening elastic unit, the stiffness selection process of the pre-tightening elastic unit is relatively complex.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all structures.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the selection process of pre-tightening elastic elements for the locking mechanism of the battery pack of an electric vehicle. This method can be executed by a device for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit, and this device can be implemented in a software and / or hardware manner and integrated into a computer device with application development functions.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the method for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit includes the following steps:

[0028] S110. Obtain the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight of the vehicle to which the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is applied, and based on the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight, determine the initial number of lifting points of the battery pack and the initial compression amount of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected according to a preset strategy.

[0029] For different vehicle models, the vehicle weight is usually different, and the weight of the battery pack may also be different. During the process of selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit, the vehicle model of the vehicle to which the pre-tightening elastic unit is applied should be considered. When selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit, the corresponding vehicle weight and battery pack weight information can be read from a database, or a user interaction interface can be set up, and the user who needs to select an elastic element can directly input relevant information such as the vehicle and the battery pack in the user interaction interface. In this embodiment, the vehicle weight of the vehicle model using the locking structure including the pre-tightening elastic element is denoted as M1, and the battery pack weight is denoted as M2, where the vehicle weight is the weight of the whole vehicle after removing the battery pack. Then, the initial number of lifting points of the battery pack, denoted as n0, can be further determined. Specifically, the number of pre-tightening elastic units to be selected required can be determined according to the battery pack weight and the preset load-bearing value of a single pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected, as the initial number of lifting points. For example, usually the weight of a battery pack is 400 kg, and a pre-tightening elastic unit shares a load-bearing of 50 kg, then the initial number of lifting points can be set to 8, that is, n = 8. The initial compression amount of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected can be an initial value set by relevant professionals according to experience values, denoted as x. In a feasible implementation manner, different initial compression amount values can be set for different vehicle models, and different initial compression amounts can be set according to different vehicle models when selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit.

[0030] S120. Determine the stiffness coefficient of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected based on the battery pack weight, the initial number of lifting points, and the initial compression amount, and determine the maximum total pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected under a preset plane tolerance based on the stiffness coefficient.

[0031] First, determine the total pre-tightening force according to the maximum acceleration value during the operation of the vehicle and the battery pack weight. This total pre-tightening force is the total pre-tightening force without considering the flatness tolerance of the mating plane between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end. Generally, during the driving process of an automobile, the acceleration at the battery pack is twice the acceleration of gravity (2g) or less. Therefore, the total pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening elastic unit is F = 2 * M2g.

[0032] Further, the pre-tightening force of a single pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected can be determined based on the number of initial suspension points and the total pre-tightening force, expressed as F1 = F / n. Then, the stiffness coefficient of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is determined based on the pre-tightening force and the initial compression amount of the single pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected, expressed as k = F1 / x.

[0033] The maximum total pre-tightening force is the maximum total pre-tightening force when using a pre-tightening elastic unit with a stiffness coefficient of k considering the flatness tolerance of the mating plane between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end. The flatness tolerance of the mating plane between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end is related to the production and manufacturing processes of the vehicle and the battery pack. Products produced by different production lines will have different flatness tolerance values. This tolerance can be expressed as ε, and the specific data can be determined according to the average value of the historical flatness tolerance values. When n - 1 pre-tightening elastic units are over-compressed by ε and 1 pre-tightening elastic unit is under-compressed by ε, the total pre-tightening force of the elastic units is the largest at this time, which can be expressed as F max = k*(x + ε)*(n - 1) + k*(x - ε)*1.

[0034] S130. Determine the numerical relationship between the maximum total pre-tightening force and the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight. When the numerical relationship satisfies the preset relationship and the stability of the locking mechanism fixed by the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected and the battery pack meets the preset stability requirements, use the sum of the stiffness coefficient, the initial compression amount, and the preset flatness tolerance as the selection result.

[0035] Determining the numerical relationship between the maximum total pre-tightening force and the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight is to compare the magnitudes of the two values. This is because when the maximum total pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening elastic unit is greater than the vehicle weight, the vehicle body will be lifted during the locking and unlocking processes, resulting in failed locking and unlocking. In this case, the selection of the pre-tightening elastic element is also unsuccessful.

[0036] Then, when the maximum total pre-tightening force is less than the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight, it is possible to further analyze the fixing structure of the locking mechanism for the battery pack when using the corresponding number of pre-tightening elastic elements with a stiffness coefficient of k for the number of suspension points, and the flatness tolerance of the mating plane between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end is ε. The requirement for stability is to evaluate whether the battery pack can be unaffected by vibrations, impacts, etc. during vehicle driving. The finite element analysis method can be used to analyze from multiple dimensions affecting stability. When the stability of the locking mechanism fixed by the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected and the battery pack meets the preset stability requirements, the calculated stiffness coefficient can be used as the stiffness coefficient of the pre-tightening elastic unit for the final selection, and the sum of the initial compression amount and the preset flatness tolerance can be used as the maximum compressible amount of the pre-tightening elastic element, thereby determining the selection result.

[0037] The selection result of the pre-tightening elastic unit determined through the above steps takes into account various problems existing in the pin-type locking mechanism (including the steel ball tensioning type), such as offsetting the flatness tolerance of the mating plane between the vehicle body end and the battery pack end, ensuring that the locking mechanisms of the same battery pack can be locked simultaneously, ensuring sufficient stiffness to prevent unlocking during driving caused by the vertical vibration of the battery pack, and also providing a certain amount of re-compressibility to ensure sufficient unlocking stroke of the locking mechanism and reduce the vibration noise caused by the vibration of the battery pack.

[0038] In the technical solution of this embodiment, first, the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight of the vehicle to which the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is applied are obtained, and based on the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight, the initial number of suspension points of the battery pack and the initial compression amount of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected are determined according to a preset strategy; then, based on the battery pack weight, the initial number of suspension points, and the initial compression amount, the stiffness coefficient of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is determined, and based on the stiffness coefficient, the maximum total pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected under a preset plane tolerance is determined; finally, the numerical relationship between the maximum total pre-tightening force and the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight is determined. When the numerical relationship satisfies the preset relationship and the stability of the locking mechanism fixed by the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected and the battery pack meets the preset stability requirement, the sum of the stiffness coefficient and the initial compression amount and the preset plane tolerance is used as the selection result. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention provides a complete selection process for the pre-tightening elastic element, taking into account various problems existing in the pin-type locking mechanism (including the steel ball tensioning type) during this process, enabling the selected elastic element to meet the usage requirements and improving the selection efficiency of the pre-tightening elastic element.

[0039] Embodiment Two

[0040] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit provided by Embodiment Two of the present invention. This embodiment and the method for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit in the above embodiment belong to the same inventive concept, and further describe the process of adjusting parameters and finally determining the selection result of the pre-tightening elastic unit when the initial selection does not meet the requirements during the selection process. This method can be executed by a pre-tightening elastic unit selection device, which can be implemented in a software and / or hardware manner and integrated in a computer device with application development functions.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the method for selecting a pre-tightening elastic unit includes the following steps:

[0042] S210. Obtain the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight of the vehicle to which the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is applied, and based on the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight, determine the initial number of suspension points of the battery pack and the initial compression amount of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected according to a preset strategy.

[0043] S220. Determine the stiffness coefficient of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit based on the weight of the battery pack, the initial number of suspension points, and the initial compression amount, and determine the maximum total pre-tightening force of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit under a preset planar tolerance based on the stiffness coefficient.

[0044] Steps S210 - S220 can refer to the specific descriptions in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0045] S230. Determine whether the maximum total pre-tightening force is less than the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight.

[0046] When the maximum total pre-tightening force is less than the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight, step S240 is executed. Otherwise, step S260 is executed.

[0047] S240. Use the finite element analysis method to determine the stability of the locking between the battery pack and the locking mechanism based on the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit, and determine whether the stability meets the preset stability requirements.

[0048] The requirement for stability is to evaluate whether the battery pack can be unaffected by vibrations, impacts, etc. during vehicle driving. The finite element analysis method can be used to analyze from multiple dimensions affecting stability. When the stability of the locking mechanism fixed with the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit and the battery pack meets the preset stability requirements, step S250 is executed. Otherwise, S260 is executed, or measures such as adjusting the battery pack structure are taken to make the stability meet the preset stability requirements.

[0049] S250. Take the sum of the current compression amount and the preset planar tolerance value as the maximum compression amount of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit, and take the current stiffness coefficient as the stiffness coefficient of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit.

[0050] The current compression amount refers to the initial compression amount without parameter adjustment, or the compression amount after adjustment and update. The current stiffness coefficient refers to the stiffness coefficient determined without parameter adjustment, or the updated stiffness coefficient determined by parameters such as the adjusted number of suspension points and / or compression amount. That is, take the latest adjustment result as the final selection result.

[0051] S260. Adjust the value of the initial number of suspension points and / or the initial compression amount.

[0052] In this step, that is, adjust based on the initial values of the number of suspension points and / or the compression amount. Then continue to execute steps S220 - S250 based on the adjusted parameters to update (adjust) the stiffness coefficient of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit, and determine the maximum total pre-tightening force of the to-be-selected pre-tightening elastic unit based on the updated stiffness coefficient until the parameters of the elastic pre-tightening element that meet the conditions are determined.

[0053] When adjusting the parameters, it is possible to only adjust the number of suspension points, or only adjust the compression amount, or adjust both parameters simultaneously. In the technical solution of this embodiment, first, the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight of the vehicle applying the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected are obtained, and based on the vehicle weight and the battery pack weight, the initial number of suspension points of the battery pack and the initial compression amount of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected are determined according to a preset strategy; then, based on the battery pack weight, the initial number of suspension points, and the initial compression amount, the stiffness coefficient of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected is determined, and based on the stiffness coefficient, the maximum total pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening elastic unit to be selected under a preset plane tolerance is determined; finally, the numerical relationship between the maximum total pre-tightening force and the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight is determined. When the numerical relationship does not meet the preset relationship, the number of suspension points is adjusted until the numerical relationship between the maximum total pre-tightening force and the gravity corresponding to the vehicle weight meets the preset relationship, and further, it is determined whether the stability of the locking mechanism using the pre-tightening elastic unit to be fixed and the battery pack meets the preset stability requirement. If it meets, the selection result of the pre-tightening elastic element is obtained; otherwise, by adjusting the number of suspension points or the battery pack structure, etc., the stability requirement is achieved to determine the final selection result of the pre-tightening elastic element. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention provides a complete selection process for the pre-tightening elastic element. In this process, various problems existing in the pin-type locking mechanism (including the steel ball tensioning type) are taken into account, so that the selected elastic element can meet the use requirements and improve the selection efficiency of the pre-tightening elastic element.

[0054] The following is an embodiment of the pre-tightening elastic unit selection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. This device and the pre-tightening elastic unit selection method of the above embodiments belong to the same inventive concept and can implement the pre-tightening elastic unit selection methods of the above embodiments. For the details not described in detail in the embodiment of the pre-tightening elastic unit selection device, reference can be made to the embodiments of the pre-tightening elastic unit selection method above.
