Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of simulation technology for testing the uniformity of finished tires, and in particular to a method and system for predicting tire uniformity of finished tires through scanning and pressure distribution. Background Technology
[0002] Tires are ring-shaped elastomers composed of various materials such as fibers, steel wires, and rubber. Due to manufacturing processes and design factors, tires are not perfectly uniform or symmetrical. This non-uniformity is mainly manifested in the unevenness of tire size, force, and mass. This includes: Radial force deviation (RFV), which is the tread's bouncy force when a tire under a certain load rolls at a certain speed. The greater the radial force deviation, the worse the ride comfort and the more likely it is to cause driver fatigue. Lateral force deviation (LFV) mainly reflects the tire's wobble. The greater the lateral force deviation, the more the car will wobble while driving, making it difficult for the driver to maintain control of the steering wheel, affecting handling stability, and also accelerating tire wear.
[0003] The uniformity of a tire is related to the symmetry of its axis of rotation. When a tire rotates, non-uniformities in its structure generate periodic force changes or impacts along the axis of rotation. These force changes cause vibrations that are transmitted through the suspension and can be felt in the seat and steering wheel.
[0004] Tire uniformity properties are generally classified into dimensional (or geometric) and mass variables. Uniformity testing typically evaluates uniformity by measuring the changes in forces generated by the tire during rotation. The testing method involves applying the tire to a drum simulating a road surface under a specified air pressure load. The drum is rotated while maintaining a slip angle and camber angle of "0". The magnitude and changes in forces generated during tire rotation are measured, including radial, lateral, and tangential forces. Generally, there are two methods for measuring tire uniformity: low-speed testing machines used in factories and high-speed testing machines used in research. However, due to the high cost and precision requirements of the equipment, even slight deviations during tire assembly and testing can cause significant errors. Therefore, predicting tire uniformity without relying on precision equipment is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for predicting tire uniformity by scanning and pressure distribution of finished tires. This invention simulates finished tires and calculates the size and mass non-uniform distribution of deviations from the baseline through point cloud processing. Combined with the tire tread stress distribution, it can predict the magnitude and force changes generated when the tire rotates at different speeds without the need for traditional uniformity testing.
[0006] This invention improves upon existing methods for detecting tire uniformity using traditional low-speed testing machines and high-speed testing machines used in research. Because the testing equipment is precise and expensive, and requires high accuracy, even slight deviations during tire assembly and testing can cause significant errors. This invention uses point cloud processing to calculate the size and mass non-uniformity distribution of the deviation from the baseline. Combined with the tire tread stress distribution, it enables the prediction of the magnitude and changes in force generated when the tire rotates at different speeds without requiring a testing machine for uniformity testing.
[0007] This invention improves upon the existing traditional method for determining tire uniformity: under a specified air pressure load, the tire is applied to a drum simulating a road surface, the drum is rotated, and the tilt and roll angles are kept at "0". The magnitude and changes in the forces generated during tire rotation are then measured, including radial force, lateral force, and tangential force. However, this method has low detection efficiency and cannot effectively detect tires produced in large batches. This invention establishes a database by linking low-speed and high-speed uniformity of the tire, and through a calculation system, it can predict tire force variations and vibration magnitudes without uniformity testing, greatly improving detection efficiency.

[0056] Tire uniformity properties are generally classified into dimensional (or geometric) and mass variables. Uniformity testing typically evaluates uniformity by measuring the changes in forces generated by the tire during rotation. The testing method involves applying a tire to a drum simulating a road surface under a specified air pressure load. The drum is rotated while maintaining a slip and camber angle of "0". The magnitude and changes in forces generated during tire rotation are measured, including radial, lateral, and tangential forces. Generally, there are two methods for measuring tire uniformity: low-speed testing machines used in factories and high-speed testing machines used in research. However, due to the high cost and precision requirements of the equipment, even slight deviations during tire assembly and testing can cause significant errors. Therefore, predicting tire uniformity without relying on precision equipment is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
[0057] Therefore, this invention provides a method and system for predicting tire uniformity of finished tires through scanning and pressure distribution. By using point cloud processing, the method calculates the size and mass non-uniform distribution of the deviation from the baseline, combines the tire tread stress distribution with low-speed and high-speed uniformity, establishes a database, and uses a calculation system to predict the magnitude and force changes generated when the tire rotates at different speeds without uniformity testing.

The first rotation angle required to rotate the first straight line to be parallel to the horizontal X-axis is calculated. The first set of pixels is rotated by the first rotation angle to obtain the first point cloud set.
[0076] The second rotation angle required to eliminate the influence of concave or convex points is obtained from the first point cloud set, and the second point cloud set is obtained by removing concave or convex points from the first point cloud set and rotating by the second rotation angle.
[0077] The third rotation angle required to eliminate the influence of interference points is obtained based on the second point cloud set;
[0078] The pixels in the original 2D point cloud image are rotated by the first rotation angle, the second rotation angle, and the third rotation angle respectively to obtain the point cloud data.
