[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a tire envelope generation method provided by a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method specifically includes steps S01 to S07.

[0050] Step S01, forming a simulation motion model according to the suspension motion mode, wherein the simulation motion model includes a working condition file, and the working condition file includes a definition relationship of the corresponding influence of the robust parameters and the clearance parameters on the suspension.

[0051] It should be noted that the traditional design and analysis software is ADMAS / Car, but it has not yet been popularized due to its high professional level. In this embodiment, a creation method based on a CAD model is proposed. CAD software is widely used in the mechanical field and is relatively easy to use.

[0052] In addition, in general, it is necessary to simulate the extreme motion of the suspension model. Usually, the suspension is connected to the center of the wheel, so discontinuous wheel center motion trajectory points can be obtained. At this time, the wheel center motion trajectory points should be in a three-dimensional state. Through the three points on the outermost side, the tire movement direction can be preliminarily confirmed, and a spatial position associated with the entire vehicle can be established. In this embodiment, the movement mode and movement model of the suspension are known to technical personnel in this field, but the working condition file needs to be newly created, which includes the definition relationship between the robust parameters and the gap parameters that have a corresponding impact on the suspension. Through the effect of the robust parameters and the gap parameters on the tire envelope, the quality of engineering development can be ensured and potential risks can be avoided.

[0053] Step S02, obtaining a tire digital model and a vehicle body digital model, and establishing a connection relationship between the tire digital model, the vehicle body digital model and the suspension.

[0054] Among them, the tire digital model and the body digital model are models of the tire and the body, including the position relationship and size. Then, a connection relationship is established between the tire, the body and the suspension to form a three-dimensional model of the part or the whole vehicle. It can be understood that through the three-dimensional model, the designer can obtain any size and corresponding relationship in the model.

[0055] Step S03, obtaining the robust parameters and the clearance parameters, and driving the simulation motion model to obtain simulation results, wherein the simulation results include a motion trajectory point set of the target wheel center and a motion trajectory point set of the target tire along the suspension.

[0056] Among them, the simulation motion model stores the preset parameter values ​​of the standard robust parameters and the gap parameters. When it is necessary to execute the step of obtaining the robust parameters and the gap parameters, the preset parameter values ​​are extracted. It should be noted that the preset parameter values ​​are empirical values, that is, the values ​​obtained by technical personnel in this field through trial and error. The purpose of using the preset parameter values ​​is to avoid technical personnel with no relevant experience or less relevant experience from deviating from reality during simulation due to lack of understanding of the product situation.

[0057] Specifically, after obtaining the robust parameters and the clearance parameters, the suspension in the simulation motion model is driven to move under extreme conditions. Since the wheels are connected to the suspension, the wheels move driven by the suspension, and a number of discontinuous target wheel center motion trajectory points and tire motion trajectory points can be obtained, forming two point sets respectively. It can be understood that the two point sets do not intersect.

[0058] Step S04, driving the wheel assembly digital model to generate a tire envelope according to the target tire motion trajectory point set along the suspension.

[0059] Since there are a large number of target tire motion trajectory points, multiple tire envelope surfaces can be generated through the motion trajectory points, and then the tire envelope is obtained by summing up the multiple tire envelope surfaces. The tire envelope is the area range that the tire can move to.

[0060] Step S05, determining whether the target wheel envelope interferes with the vehicle body.

[0061] Specifically, when it is determined that there is a certain trajectory point in the trajectory point concentration of the target tire along the suspension movement that falls within the range of the vehicle body digital model area, it is considered that there is interference between the target wheel envelope and the vehicle body, that is, there is a risk of collision between the wheel and the vehicle body during movement, and S06 is executed; when it is determined that there is no interference between the target wheel envelope and the vehicle body, S07 is executed.

[0062] Step S06, issuing a request to re-acquire the robust parameters and the gap parameters, and executing the steps of acquiring the robust parameters and the gap parameters, and driving the simulation motion model to obtain simulation results.

[0063] Due to design problems, the tire interferes with the vehicle. At this time, a request to re-acquire the robust parameters and the gap parameters will be issued, that is, the designer is required to change the appropriate parameters again to meet the design requirements. It can be understood that after obtaining the modified parameters, the simulation motion model will be driven again for further simulation. If it is still unqualified, the step will be looped until the acquired parameters can make the target wheel envelope not interfere with the vehicle body.

[0064] Step S07: issuing a prompt message, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt that the design is correct.

[0065] It is understandable that when a prompt message is issued, it means that the simulation is successful, that is, the tire will not interfere with the vehicle body during movement, and a tire envelope diagram is generated. At the same time, designers can also further modify parameters and optimize according to the generated tire envelope diagram, for example, making the tire envelope smaller and the entire vehicle more beautiful.

[0066] In summary, the tire envelope generation method in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention forms a simulation motion model through a working condition file including a definition relationship of the corresponding influence of robust parameters and clearance parameters on the suspension, and then obtains the tire digital model and the vehicle body digital model to establish a connected rear-drive simulation motion model. Since the relevant tolerances are taken into account, the tire envelope generated by the model is more accurate and certain risks can be avoided. Then, by judging whether there is interference between the target wheel envelope and the vehicle body, the designer can intuitively understand the interference of the tire movement.

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a tire envelope generation method provided by a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method specifically includes steps S10 to S16.

[0069] Step S10, forming a simulation motion model according to the motion mode of the suspension, wherein the simulation motion model includes a working condition file, and the working condition file includes a definition relationship of the corresponding influence of the robust parameters and the clearance parameters on the suspension.

[0070] Step S11, obtaining a tire digital model and a vehicle body digital model, and establishing a connection relationship between the tire digital model, the vehicle body digital model and the suspension.

[0071] Among them, the tire digital model and the body digital model should match the physical tire and body that need to be simulated.

[0072] Step S12, acquiring the robust parameters and the clearance parameters, and driving the simulation motion model to obtain simulation results, wherein the simulation results include a motion trajectory point set of the target wheel center and a motion trajectory point set of the target tire along the suspension.

[0073] In this embodiment, the robust parameters include independent suspension rubber bushing force deformation parameters, lateral toe tolerance parameters, wheel center position tolerance parameters, toe tolerance parameters, camber angle tolerance parameters, steering gear rack travel tolerance parameters, and the clearance parameters include sharp protrusion clearance parameters, wearing parts clearance parameters and powertrain parts clearance parameters. It can be understood that each parameter will have an impact on the simulation results, that is, the motion trajectory point set of the target wheel center and the target tire change with the suspension motion trajectory point set.

[0074] Among them, when developing a new model, the robust parameters of the suspension kinematic characteristics must be calculated based on the flexible bushing stiffness of the determined model, that is, the stress deformation parameters of the independent suspension rubber bushing, and it is necessary to ensure that the tire model can be suitable for all deformed vehicles. The specific calculation scheme is shown in Tables 1 and 2 below:

[0075]

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] Specifically, different independent suspension rubber bushing stress and deformation parameters need to be obtained according to different vehicle models.

[0079] Lateral toe-in tolerance parameter, the parameter calculation formula is:

[0080] Lateral force toe tolerance = L1sin(Δθ 前束侧向特性 )-W1[1-cos(Δθ 前束侧向特性 )]

[0081] Where, the lateral force toe-in tolerance is the spatial distance (mm) that the tire envelope increases / decreases due to toe-in change, θ 前束侧向特性 is the toe change angle during lateral acceleration (°), and the preset parameter value is Δθ 前束侧向特性 = 0°, L1 is the radial distance from the wheel center to P1 (the lateral projection point of the intersection of the tread and the sidewall) (mm), W1 is the vertical distance from P1 to the tire centerline (mm), such as Figure 3 shown.

[0082] Wheel center position tolerance parameters, wheel center position tolerance calculation formula is as follows:

[0083]

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] Among them, T 轮心Xis the dimensional tolerance of the wheel center in the X-axis direction, and the same applies to the Y and Z axes. 零件1x is the dimensional tolerance of part 1 in the X-axis direction, and so on for the Y and Z axes. It should be noted that this method is based on the RSS summation method. When calculating, only the influence of the main parts of the suspension system (such as subframe, swing arm and steering knuckle) on the wheel center position tolerance needs to be considered, and the positive and negative values ​​of the dimensional tolerance values ​​should be noted. The preset parameter values ​​are X±2.5mm; Y±2.5mm; Z±1.5mm.

[0087] Tolerance parameters of the body and fixed parts. When using the tire envelope to analyze the gap, it is necessary to consider the impact of the dimensional tolerances of the body and parts fixed to the body on the gap analysis, mainly referring to the parts around the tire. This method is based on the RSS summation method.

[0088] Toe-in tolerance parameter, toe-in tolerance formula is expressed as:

[0089] Toe tolerance = [L1sin(θ 最大 +Δθ 前束 )+W1cos(θ 最大 +Δθ 前束 )]-(L1sinθ 最大 +W1cosθ 最大 )

[0090] Toe tolerance is the spatial distance (mm) by which the tire envelope increases / decreases due to toe tolerance, θ 最大 is the steering limit travel of the outer steering wheel (°), and the preset parameter steering wheel θ 最大 is 32°, non-steering wheel θ 最大 is 0, where Δθ 前束 represents the toe angle tolerance (°), L1 represents the radial distance from the wheel center to P1 (mm), and W1 represents the vertical distance from P1 to the tire centerline (mm). Figure 4 As shown, in addition, the toe tolerance mainly affects the gap in the Y-axis direction of the tire envelope, and the preset parameter Δθ 前束 The angle of the rear suspension is 0.2° and the integral axle rear suspension is set to 0°.

[0091] Camber angle tolerance parameter, the formula is:

[0092] Camber angle tolerance = L2sin(Δθ 外倾角 )-W2[1-cos(Δθ 外倾角 )]

[0093] The camber tolerance is the distance in mm that the tire envelope increases / decreases due to the camber tolerance. Figure 5 As shown, Δθ 外倾角Indicates the camber angle tolerance (°), L2 indicates the radial distance from the wheel center to the widest point P2 of the tire (mm), usually L2 = rim radius + tire section width * 50%, W2 indicates half of the maximum tire width (mm), and the preset parameter Δθ 外倾角 The angle of the rear suspension is 0.75° and the integral axle rear suspension is set to 0°.

[0094] Steering gear rack travel tolerance parameter. When the steering gear rack travel tolerance is ±1mm, the nominal steering gear rack travel is used to establish the envelope. If the tolerance exceeds ±1mm, the formula for the steering gear rack travel used to establish the envelope is:

[0095] Steering rack travel = nominal travel + actual tolerance - 1

[0096] Specifically, when the nominal travel of the steering gear rack is 70mm±1mm, the nominal travel of 70mm is used to create the envelope; when the nominal travel of the steering gear rack is 72mm±3mm, the steering gear rack travel used when establishing the envelope = 72+3-1 = 74mm.

[0097] The sharp protrusion clearance parameter takes into account the vehicle manufacturing consistency error. The clearance between the wheel and any sharp protrusion or sharp edge / sharp angle is increased by 3mm based on the tire envelope clearance.

[0098] The clearance parameters of wearing parts. Most wearing parts are flexible parts, such as brake hoses, fuel pipes, and wiring harnesses. The spatial position changes of these parts are greater than the tolerance of body parts. In order to cope with this situation, an additional 10mm clearance is required on the basis of the tire envelope and chain envelope clearance requirements. If the actual position tolerance of the wearing parts can be determined, the additional clearance is increased or decreased as needed. Generally, the actual position tolerance of the wearing parts plus 3mm.

[0099] Powertrain parts clearance parameters: In order to cope with engine vibration, an additional 10mm clearance is added to the tire envelope and chain envelope clearance of parts fixed to the powertrain. If the dynamic position of the powertrain parts can be determined, the additional clearance can be increased or decreased according to the situation, but it is necessary to reserve an additional 3mm clearance for the powertrain parts in the worst case.

[0100] Step S13, driving the wheel assembly digital model to generate a tire envelope according to the target tire motion trajectory point set along the suspension.

[0101] Step S14, determining whether the target wheel envelope interferes with the vehicle body.

[0102] When it is determined that the target wheel envelope interferes with the vehicle body, S15 is executed; when it is determined that the target wheel envelope does not interfere with the vehicle body, S16 is executed.

[0103] Step S15, issuing a request to re-acquire the robust parameters and the gap parameters, and providing correction prompts for the robust parameters and the gap parameters, wherein the correction prompts are used to guide the designer to modify reasonable values ​​of the robust parameters and the gap parameters.

[0104] Specifically, when interference occurs between the target wheel envelope and the vehicle body, correction prompts will be given in sequence according to the weights of the parameters, and a suitable range will be recommended. Based on the correction prompts, the designer can customize the robust parameters and the gap parameters and input them into the simulation motion model. After the parameters are input, step S12 is executed.

[0105] Step S16: issuing a prompt message, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt that the design is correct.
