Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tire finite element analysis, and in particular to a method, device, computer-readable storage medium, processor, and finite element simulation system for simulating the quality of tire skeleton materials. Background Art

[0002] The rapid rise and development of tire finite element simulation technology has made it an indispensable tool in tire development, design, and optimization. While numerous finite element simulation technologies are currently available for tires, the accuracy levels of these technologies vary widely across institutions and companies. It's important to note that the consistency between simulation results and actual results is crucial for guiding design with finite element simulation technology, and improved simulation accuracy significantly impacts its value in assisting design. When performing transient motion simulation on tires, the software algorithm takes into account the product's moment of inertia and damping, significantly impacting the results. As a crucial component of the tire, the tire carcass material accounts for approximately 15% of the total weight, and the resulting moment of inertia and damping will impact the final simulation results.

[0003] Tire carcass materials primarily include steel cord, bead wire, and fiber cord. These are typically constructed from a single filament twisted into multiple strands. For example, the steel cord of a semi-steel tire is a double-stranded monofilament. Currently, finite element simulations often use the combined outer diameter of the multiple strands as the diameter of the twist to determine the carcass' cross-sectional area. This approach incorporates the rubber coating on some of the steel wires, significantly increasing the carcass' mass and impacting overall simulation accuracy.

[0027] As mentioned in the background technology, the quality simulation of the skeleton material in the prior art has a large degree of distortion. In order to solve the above problem, in a typical embodiment of the present application, a simulation method, device, computer-readable storage medium, processor and finite element simulation system for the quality of tire skeleton materials are provided.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present application, a method for simulating tire frame material quality is provided.

[0029] Figure 1FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for simulating the quality of tire frame materials according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S101, obtaining a single twist cross-sectional area and a twist number of a tire carcass material, wherein the single twist cross-sectional area is a cross-sectional area of ​​the carcass material when twisted alone, and the twist number is a number of twists corresponding to a twisting method of the carcass material to form a cord;

[0032] Step S103 , performing simulation calculation on the mass of the skeleton material at least according to the equivalent cross-sectional area, to obtain a simulation result of the mass of the skeleton material.

[0033] In the above-mentioned method for simulating the quality of the tire frame material, first, the single-twist cross-sectional area and the number of twists of the tire frame material are obtained, where the single-twist cross-sectional area is the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame material when twisted alone, and the number of twists is the number of twists corresponding to the twisting method of the frame material to form the cord; then, an equivalent cross-sectional area is obtained based on the product of the single-twist cross-sectional area and the number of twists; finally, the mass of the frame material is simulated and calculated based on at least the equivalent cross-sectional area to obtain a simulation result of the mass of the frame material. This method calculates the product of the single-twist cross-sectional area and the number of twists to obtain the equivalent cross-sectional area, and uses the equivalent cross-sectional area instead of the cross-sectional area of ​​the cord for simulation calculation, eliminating the influence of the rubber coating in the cord, making the frame material mass simulation result closer to the actual frame material mass, and solving the problem of high distortion in the frame material mass simulation in the prior art.

[0034] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2As shown, the mass of the skeleton material is simulated and calculated at least based on the equivalent cross-sectional area to obtain the mass simulation result of the skeleton material, including: obtaining the material distribution map of the tire; constructing a solid model of the tire based on the material distribution map; establishing a finite element model based on the solid model; at least inputting the equivalent cross-sectional area into the finite element model for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the skeleton material. Specifically, the above method realizes the equivalent conversion between the finite element data and the actual data of the tire skeleton material mass, which is a link in the overall tire finite element simulation analysis process. This process is between the tire solid model and the finite element model processing. After the tire material distribution map is processed, the solid model is established, and the finite element model is established and submitted for simulation calculation, the corresponding simulation result is output, and the mass of the skeleton material is output separately. The equivalent conversion link makes the skeleton material mass simulation result closer to the actual skeleton material mass.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present application, at least the equivalent cross-sectional area is input into the finite element model for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the skeleton material, including: inputting the density of the skeleton material, the equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the cord, and the distribution angle of the cord into the finite element model for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the skeleton material. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the density of the above-mentioned skeleton material, the above-mentioned equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the above-mentioned cords, and the distribution angle of the above-mentioned cords are all material properties of the skeleton material. The density of the above-mentioned skeleton material, the above-mentioned equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the above-mentioned cords, and the distribution angle of the above-mentioned cords are input into the material property assignment module in the finite element software for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the above-mentioned skeleton material.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present application, the solid model includes the cord. Before establishing a finite element model based on the solid model, the method further includes: determining an equivalent cross section based on the cross section of the cord formed by the skeleton material, the equivalent cross section having the same center of gravity and shape as the cross section of the cord, and the area of ​​the equivalent cross section being equal to the equivalent cross-sectional area; determining the boundary of the cord in the solid model based on the equivalent cross section, and obtaining the optimized solid model. Specifically, the cord made of a single-filament double strand is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, taking this cord as an example, Figure 4 As shown, A1 is the cross-section of the above-mentioned cord, L1 is the cross-section of the above-mentioned cord, A2 is the cross-section of the single twist, A3 is the equivalent cross-section, L3 is the edge line of the equivalent cross-section, and the edge line L3 of the equivalent cross-section is used as the boundary of the above-mentioned cord in the above-mentioned solid model, so as to optimize the above-mentioned solid model to further reduce the distortion of the simulation.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned solid model includes a belt layer, a carcass, a cap strip and a zero-degree band. The above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band all include the above-mentioned cords. The above-mentioned equivalent cross-sections of the above-mentioned cords in the above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band are all circular. Specifically, the cords in different structures of the above-mentioned solid model adopt different twisting methods, resulting in different cross-sectional shapes of the cords. If the cross-sections of the above-mentioned cords in the above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band are circular, then the corresponding equivalent cross-sections are also circular. Of course, if the twisting method of the above-mentioned structure is changed to cause the cross-sectional shape to change, the shape of the corresponding equivalent cross-section will also change accordingly, and the boundary of the corresponding cord will also change accordingly, so as to further reduce the distortion of the simulation.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the solid model further includes tire beads, each of which includes the tire cords, and the equivalent cross-sections of the tire cords in the tire beads are all trapezoidal. Specifically, if the cross-section of the tire cords in the tire beads is trapezoidal, the corresponding equivalent cross-section is also trapezoidal. Of course, if the twisting method of the tire beads is changed, resulting in a change in cross-sectional shape, the shape of the equivalent cross-section will also change accordingly, and the corresponding cord boundaries will also change accordingly, thereby further reducing simulation distortion.

[0040] The present application also provides a device for simulating the quality of tire frame materials. It should be noted that the device for simulating the quality of tire frame materials in the present application can be used to execute the method for simulating the quality of tire frame materials provided in the present application. The following describes the device for simulating the quality of tire frame materials provided in the present application.

[0045] In the above-mentioned tire carcass material quality simulation device, an acquisition unit acquires the single-twist cross-sectional area and twist count of the tire carcass material, where the single-twist cross-sectional area is the cross-sectional area of ​​the carcass material when twisted alone, and the twist count is the number of twists corresponding to the twisting method of the carcass material to form a cord; a calculation unit obtains an equivalent cross-sectional area based on the product of the single-twist cross-sectional area and the twist count; and a simulation unit simulates and calculates the carcass material's quality based on at least the equivalent cross-sectional area to obtain a carcass material quality simulation result. This device calculates the product of the single-twist cross-sectional area and the twist count to obtain an equivalent cross-sectional area, and uses the equivalent cross-sectional area instead of the cross-sectional area of ​​the cord for simulation calculation, eliminating the influence of the rubber coating in the cord. This makes the carcass material quality simulation result closer to the actual carcass material quality, solving the problem of high distortion in carcass material quality simulation in the prior art.

Specifically, the above-mentioned method realizes the equivalent conversion between the finite element data and the actual data of the tire skeleton material quality, which is a link in the overall tire finite element simulation analysis process. The process is between the tire solid model and the finite element model processing. After the tire is processed with the material distribution map, the solid model is established, and the finite element model is established and submitted for simulation calculation, the corresponding simulation results are output, and the quality of the skeleton material is output separately at the same time. The equivalent conversion link makes the skeleton material quality simulation result closer to the actual skeleton material quality.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the simulation module is used to input the density of the skeleton material, the equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the cord, and the distribution angle of the cord into the finite element model for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the skeleton material. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the density of the above-mentioned skeleton material, the above-mentioned equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the above-mentioned cords, and the distribution angle of the above-mentioned cords are all material properties of the skeleton material. The density of the above-mentioned skeleton material, the above-mentioned equivalent cross-sectional area, the density of the above-mentioned cords, and the distribution angle of the above-mentioned cords are input into the material property assignment module in the finite element software for simulation calculation to obtain the mass simulation result of the above-mentioned skeleton material.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned solid model includes the above-mentioned cord, and the above-mentioned device also includes an optimization unit, and the above-mentioned optimization unit includes a first determination module and a second determination module, wherein the above-mentioned first determination module is used to determine the equivalent cross-section according to the cross-section of the cord formed by the above-mentioned skeleton material before establishing a finite element model according to the above-mentioned solid model, the above-mentioned equivalent cross-section has the same center of gravity and shape as the cross-section of the above-mentioned cord, and the area of ​​the above-mentioned equivalent cross-section is equal to the above-mentioned equivalent cross-sectional area; the above-mentioned second determination module is used to determine the boundary of the above-mentioned cord in the above-mentioned solid model according to the above-mentioned equivalent cross-section, and obtain the above-mentioned solid model after optimization. Specifically, the cord made of a single-filament double strand is as follows Figure 3 As shown, taking this cord as an example, Figure 4 As shown, A1 is the cross-section of the above-mentioned cord, L1 is the cross-section of the above-mentioned cord, A2 is the cross-section of the single twist, A3 is the equivalent cross-section, L3 is the edge line of the equivalent cross-section, and the edge line L3 of the equivalent cross-section is used as the boundary of the above-mentioned cord in the above-mentioned solid model, so as to optimize the above-mentioned solid model to further reduce the distortion of the simulation.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned solid model includes a belt layer, a carcass, a cap strip and a zero-degree band. The above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band all include the above-mentioned cords. The above-mentioned equivalent cross-sections of the above-mentioned cords in the above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band are all circular. Specifically, the cords in different structures of the above-mentioned solid model adopt different twisting methods, resulting in different cross-sectional shapes of the cords. If the cross-sections of the above-mentioned cords in the above-mentioned belt layer, the above-mentioned carcass, the above-mentioned cap strip and the above-mentioned zero-degree band are circular, then the corresponding equivalent cross-sections are also circular. Of course, if the twisting method of the above-mentioned structure is changed to cause the cross-sectional shape to change, the shape of the corresponding equivalent cross-section will also change accordingly, and the boundary of the corresponding cord will also change accordingly, so as to further reduce the distortion of the simulation.

Taking 1# belt layer as an example, its specification is 1*2*0.3ST, its single-filament diameter is 0.3mm, and the single-filament area calculated according to the circular area formula is 0.070685mm2. The single-twist cross-sectional area A2 is 0.14137mm2. This area does not include the single-twist rubber coating area A1. The single-twist rubber coating area A1 is the area of ​​the original cross-sectional boundary minus the single-twist cross-sectional area A2, which is 0.14137mm2.

The circle formed by the equivalent skeleton boundary L2 is a circle. The cross-sectional area of ​​the circle is the converted equivalent cross-sectional area A3, and its converted diameter is 0.42426 mm.

[0058] S3. Input the data including the density of the 1# belt layer, the equivalent cross-sectional area A3, the density of the cords, and the distribution angle of the cords into the material property assignment module of the finite element software. The relevant data are defined as follows:

[0059] *parameter

[0067] S4, S1-S3 achieve the equivalent conversion between the finite element data and actual data of the tire skeleton material quality. This is a link in the overall tire finite element simulation analysis process, which lies between the tire solid model and the finite element model processing. After processing the tire material distribution map, establishing the solid model and the finite element model and submitting them for simulation calculation, the corresponding simulation results are output, and the quality of each skeleton material is output separately, as shown in Table 1.
