Description

[0003] Due to the structural characteristics of maglev vehicles, a sandwich structure typically assumes all the functions of the underframe: it connects to the suspension frame and serves as the carrier for the coupler, bearing the increased load. Furthermore, the sandwich structure accommodates the increased electrical equipment through internal components such as the skeleton and partitions. This requires high strength and rigidity while also ensuring lightweight design.

[0045] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] The present application discloses a method for designing the interlayer of a maglev vehicle. The flowchart is as Figure 1 shown and includes:

[0047] Step S11: Determine the interlayer structure parameters of the maglev vehicle based on the design objectives of the maglev vehicle and the line conditions. The interlayer structure parameters at least include: stiffness information, strength information, and lightweight parameters;

[0048] Step S12: Perform topology optimization of the longitudinal members based on the interlayer structure parameters of the interlayer structure and the structural characteristics of the longitudinal members to determine the longitudinal member configuration;

[0049] Step S13: Perform topology optimization of the transverse members based on the interlayer structure parameters of the interlayer structure and the structural characteristics of the transverse members to determine the transverse member configuration;

[0050] Step S14: Perform topology optimization of the vertical members based on the interlayer structure parameters of the interlayer structure and the structural characteristics of the vertical members to determine the vertical member configuration;

[0051] Step S15: Determine the interlayer model structure based on the longitudinal member configuration, transverse member configuration, and vertical member configuration.

[0052] The interlayer structure of the maglev vehicle is mainly connected by rivets and has a framework of aluminum profiles and aluminum plates. The high requirements for strength and stiffness bring great difficulties to the design of the interlayer. At the same time, with the development of the city and the increase in population, the demand for the speed level of transportation vehicles is gradually increasing, and the demand for lightweight is also increasing. Therefore, there is a certain contradiction in the design of the lightweight, strength, and stiffness of the interlayer structure of the high-speed maglev vehicle.

[0053] Currently, the empirical design method is usually adopted, that is, based on the original configuration and referring to the structure calculated by finite element strength, through the way of cyclic iteration, the weak points in the finite element calculation results are strengthened, and finally the design requirements of the interlayer structure are met. However, this method not only depends on the original configuration, but also has the problem that it cannot ensure that the strength and stiffness of the interlayer structure are not weakened while achieving lightweight.

[0054] The sandwich structure mainly consists of a central control aluminum profile, a plate, a casting, and a connecting unit. The interface characteristic parameters to be optimized for the profile, plate, and casting structures are the bending moments of inertia Iy and Iz, the torsional moment of inertia It, and the cross-sectional area A; the parameter to be optimized for the profile rib unit is the wall thickness T; the relationship between these design variables and the vehicle body performance objectives can be as follows: if the mass of the profile, plate, and casting structures decreases, the cross-sectional area A will decrease; if it is required to increase the stiffness of the profile, plate, and casting, the cross-sectional area A will increase, which creates a conflict, thus prompting A to take a certain value within the constraint interval to achieve the optimum, and such design variables are effective design variables. There are many optimization variables for the sandwich structure, and only the cross-sectional area A of the profile, plate, and casting units and the thickness T of the profile, plate, and casting units can cause the above conflict. Iy, Iz, It, K i,j The changes in these four types of variables have no impact on the objective of mass, but are only related to stiffness. Therefore, under the action of the objective of maximum stiffness, Iy, Iz, It, K i,j j all take the upper limit of the constraint interval, and such an optimization result is meaningless for guiding the optimization of the sandwich structure.

[0055] In this solution, instead of making small-scale adjustments based on the original configuration, a new configuration is rebuilt.

[0056] First, determine the sandwich structure parameters of the maglev vehicle based on the design objectives of the maglev vehicle and the line conditions. Among them, the sandwich structure parameters at least include: stiffness information, strength information, and lightweight parameters. The stiffness information is the stiffness of the sandwich structure, the strength information is the load of the strength simulation analysis, and the lightweight parameter is the design index to be achieved.

[0057] Among them, the design index can include: the vehicle design should meet the basic functional requirements of safety, comfort, and high-speed operation; in addition to meeting the strength and safety requirements, the vehicle body structure also needs to meet certain stiffness requirements to avoid resonance, and the first-order vertical bending natural vibration frequency of the carriage equipped completely and in the free suspension state should not be lower than 7 Hz; the carriage and the sandwich need to adopt an integral load-bearing structure to minimize the vehicle self-weight to the greatest extent, and the design of the vehicle body needs to meet the weight limit requirements of the maglev vehicle; the strength and stiffness of the vehicle body need to meet the various operating conditions requirements during the train operation, and the strength calculation result should not exceed the maximum stress allowed for the material to be used.

[0058] Among them, the factors participating in the combination of operating conditions include: gravity; the first inertial force, generated by the acceleration condition; the second inertial force, generated by the maximum vertical acceleration generated by the vertical curve; the third inertial force, generated by the free lateral acceleration; the fourth inertial force, generated by the driving force.

[0059] Determine the relevant parameters of the sandwich structure of the maglev vehicle based on the line operation conditions and the relevant parameter information of the to-be-designed maglev vehicle, so as to perform topology optimization based on the relevant parameters of the sandwich structure, and thus determine the sandwich model structure of the sandwich structure.

[0060] On the premise of ensuring that the overall dimensions and electrical interfaces of the sandwich structure remain unchanged, it is necessary to determine the basic structures and materials of each component.

[0061] The sandwich structure is a unique structure of the maglev vehicle. According to the overall dimensions of the vehicle body and the installation interface requirements of all electrical equipment, braking equipment, air-conditioning units, and magnet running mechanisms of the maglev vehicle, determine the basic structures and materials of each component.

[0062] Due to the obvious horizontal and vertical distinction of the sandwich structure, with the frame being made of aluminum alloy plates and the horizontal and vertical being made of full-length aluminum profiles, first perform topology optimization on the longitudinal components, then perform topology optimization on the horizontal components, and finally perform topology optimization on the vertical components. After the topology optimization of the longitudinal components, horizontal components, and vertical components, combine the longitudinal component configuration, horizontal component configuration, and vertical component configuration obtained after the topology optimization is completed, so as to obtain the complete sandwich model structure.

[0063] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the longitudinal component, horizontal component, and vertical component in the sandwich structure, including: longitudinal component 21, horizontal component 22, and vertical component 23.

[0064] After combining the configurations of each component to obtain the complete sandwich model structure, it also includes:

[0065] Judge whether the parameters of the sandwich model structure match the parameters of the sandwich structure, and determine whether the topology optimization is effective based on the judgment result.

[0066] Among them, determining whether the topology optimization is effective includes: if the judgment result shows that the parameters of the sandwich model structure match the parameters of the sandwich structure, then determine the sandwich model structure as the final configuration of the sandwich structure; if the judgment result shows that the parameters of the sandwich model structure do not match the parameters of the sandwich structure, perform reinforcement topology optimization on the sandwich model structure.

[0067] That is, if the judgment result shows that the parameters of the sandwich model structure match the sandwich structure parameters, it indicates that the topology optimization is effective; if the two do not match, it indicates that the topology optimization is ineffective. At this time, it is necessary to continue with the reinforcement topology optimization. When performing the reinforcement topology optimization, the topology optimization can be directly performed on the complete sandwich model structure, or the topology optimization can be continued for the longitudinal member configuration, transverse member configuration, and vertical member configuration that make up the sandwich model structure respectively until the calculation stops when the requirements such as stiffness and strength are met, otherwise, the stress optimization interval, that is, the optimization variable, is re-determined to ensure that the member configurations in different directions can all reach the optimum.

[0068] Specifically, the finite element method can be used to check and calculate the stiffness and strength of the sandwich structure, so as to judge whether the parameters of the sandwich model structure match the sandwich structure parameters. When making the comparison, parameters such as the weight, low-order modal value, or strength safety factor of the optimized sandwich model structure can be compared and analyzed with the original scheme.

[0069] The sandwich design method for a maglev vehicle disclosed in this embodiment determines the sandwich structure parameters of the maglev vehicle based on the design objectives of the maglev vehicle and the line conditions. The sandwich structure parameters at least include: stiffness information, strength information, and lightweight parameters; perform longitudinal member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the longitudinal members to determine the longitudinal member configuration; perform transverse member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the transverse members to determine the transverse member configuration; perform vertical member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the vertical members to determine the vertical member configuration; determine the sandwich model structure based on the longitudinal member configuration, transverse member configuration, and vertical member configuration. This solution performs topology optimization on the longitudinal members, transverse members, and vertical members of the sandwich structure respectively based on the design objectives and line conditions, so as to finally combine to form a sandwich model structure, achieving the purpose of meeting the parameter requirements such as stiffness, strength, and lightweight based on the design objectives without relying on the initial configuration and the experience of designers, and improving the design freedom.

[0070] This embodiment discloses a sandwich design method for a maglev vehicle, and its flowchart is as Figure 3 shown, including:

[0071] Step S31, determine the sandwich structure parameters of the maglev vehicle based on the design objectives of the maglev vehicle and the line conditions. The sandwich structure parameters at least include: stiffness information, strength information, and lightweight parameters;

[0072] Step S32, determine the longitudinal topology optimization structure based on the profile of the longitudinal member and the profile extrusion ratio, and determine the longitudinal member configuration based on the longitudinal topology optimization structure and the wall thickness of the sandwich structure;

[0073] Step S33: Based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the transverse members, conduct topological optimization of the transverse members to determine the transverse member configuration.

[0074] Step S34: Based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the vertical members, conduct topological optimization of the vertical members to determine the vertical member configuration.

[0075] Step S35: Determine the sandwich model structure based on the longitudinal member configuration, transverse member configuration, and vertical member configuration.

[0076] When determining the longitudinal member configuration, first conduct topological optimization of the longitudinal members to determine the topological optimization design domain, optimization variables, and optimization objectives. According to the profile characteristics of the longitudinal members being long and hollow aluminum profiles, add the constraint condition of the profile extrusion ratio. Through iterative calculations of topological optimization, obtain the optimized topological optimization structure. After determining the topological optimization structure, determine the key points based on this topological optimization structure. On the basis of the key points, add the constraint condition of the wall thickness to determine the key lines. Finally, determine the lightweight and high-strength longitudinal member configuration based on the topological optimization structure and the key points.

[0077] Among them, the structural characteristics of the longitudinal members are mainly composed of large-length hollow aluminum profiles, which are load-bearing structures, and the profile extrusion ratio needs to be considered as a constraint condition.

[0078] Specifically, when optimizing the design of the sandwich structure, in order to make the sandwich structure have greater stiffness, the flexibility of the sandwich structure can be selected as the objective function, and the optimization objective is to minimize the flexibility of the sandwich structure, that is, to maximize the stiffness. Select the relative density of each unit in the design area as the design variable, and select the optimized volume as the constraint condition, requiring that the optimized volume is not greater than a certain percentage of the original optimized design area volume.

[0079] Among them, the design variables are: the selected support beams of the sandwich structure, namely the gas path cavity, E-shaped beam, floor design domain, etc.; the objective is to minimize flexibility; the constraint conditions are: volume fraction constraint, profile extrusion ratio constraint, maximum stress less than the maximum stress allowed for the material, etc.

[0080] Then the mathematical model of the sandwich structure topological optimization is:

[0081] X={X1,X2,......,X n} T

[0082] min C=F T U

[0083]

[0084] Among them, X[[ID=^{39}]] i(i = 1, 2, ..., n) are design variables, i.e., the relative density of each microelement; C is the compliance of the structure; F is the load vector; U is the displacement vector; k is the percentage of remaining material; V1 is the total volume of the remaining material after optimization; V0 is the volume of the design region; K is the stiffness matrix.

[0085] By setting the target tolerance, it is determined whether it is the optimal result. Setting the target tolerance is actually setting the condition for terminating the optimization iteration. During the iteration process, as long as the absolute value of the difference between the optimization objective values calculated continuously twice does not exceed the target tolerance, the iteration is terminated. Define the target tolerance for the topology optimization of the sandwich structure |C i+1 - C i | ≤ 0.003, where C i is the value of the sandwich compliance of the objective function for the i-th iteration, and C i+1 is the value of the sandwich compliance of the objective function for the (i + 1)-th iteration.

[0086] Furthermore, for the configuration of the transverse member, it is actually: determine the design domain of the transverse member based on the plate characteristics and electrical interfaces of the transverse member, and perform topology optimization of the transverse member based on the design domain of the transverse member and the sandwich structure parameters to determine the configuration of the transverse member.

[0087] Based on the structural characteristics of the transverse member, on the premise that the electrical interface remains unchanged, determine the design domain, optimization variables, optimization objectives, etc. of the transverse partition, and obtain the transverse structure configuration through topology optimization iteration.

[0088] Among them, the structural characteristics of the transverse member are mainly composed of plates, non-load-bearing structures, and electrical interfaces need to be reserved in advance for the design domain.

[0089] The design variables for determining the configuration of the transverse member are: the design domain of the transverse partition with the characteristics of the sandwich structure; the objective is to minimize the compliance, and the constraint conditions are: volume fraction constraint, constraint on non-design domain for fixed electrical interfaces, maximum stress less than the maximum stress allowed for the material, etc.

[0090] Furthermore, for the configuration of the vertical member, it is actually: determine the design domain of the vertical member based on the structural characteristics of the vertical member, and perform topology optimization of the vertical member based on the design domain of the vertical member and the vertical load to determine the configuration of the vertical member.

[0091] Determine the design domain, optimization variables, optimization objectives, and draft constraint of the traction rod support of the vertical member according to the vertical load and the structural characteristics of the vertical member, and obtain the configuration of the vertical member through topology optimization iterative calculation.

[0092] [[ID=3

[0093] After determining the longitudinal member configuration, the transverse member configuration, and the vertical member configuration, it is necessary to combine the longitudinal member configuration, the transverse member configuration, and the vertical member configuration with the end connection structure to obtain the sandwich model structure.

[0094] The sandwich design method for the maglev vehicle disclosed in this embodiment determines the sandwich structure parameters of the maglev vehicle based on the maglev vehicle design objectives and line conditions. The sandwich structure parameters at least include: stiffness information, strength information, and lightweight parameters; perform longitudinal member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the longitudinal members to determine the longitudinal member configuration; perform transverse member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the transverse members to determine the transverse member configuration; perform vertical member topology optimization based on the sandwich structure parameters of the sandwich structure and the structural characteristics of the vertical members to determine the vertical member configuration; determine the sandwich model structure based on the longitudinal member configuration, the transverse member configuration, and the vertical member configuration. This solution performs topology optimization on the longitudinal members, transverse members, and vertical members of the sandwich structure respectively based on the design objectives and line conditions, so as to finally combine to form the sandwich model structure, realizing the purpose of meeting the parameter requirements such as stiffness, strength, and lightweight based on the design objectives without relying on the initial configuration and the designer's experience, and improving the design freedom.
