Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a method and system for measuring the height of the center of gravity of a vehicle Background Art
[0002] As one of the important basic parameters of a vehicle, the vehicle's center of gravity height has a significant impact on the vehicle's dynamic performance, which is mainly reflected in power, braking, handling stability and ride smoothness. For example, the body posture, suspension status and steering characteristics during acceleration, braking and steering will be affected by the vehicle's center of gravity height. Therefore, accurately obtaining the vehicle's center of gravity height is an important task for vehicle manufacturers and repair shops.
[0003] Currently, the most basic vehicle type is the two-axle vehicle. When obtaining the center of gravity height of such vehicles, the valuation method is generally used based on experience. This requires the main manufacturer to have certain test conditions to conduct tests. Due to the influence of the test conditions, the deviation from the actual situation is large, resulting in inaccurate valuation methods. There is also a method of raising a certain axle, which is more suitable for passenger cars, which have a small mass and are easy to lift the axle, but is not very suitable for commercial vehicles. In addition, the process of raising the vehicle often involves some processing methods such as suspension locking, which makes the measured center of gravity height deviate from the actual one. When the roll method is applied to air suspension, it is more difficult to determine the roll center. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a method and system for measuring the center of gravity height of a vehicle, which is applicable to two-axle vehicles and vehicles that can be simplified as two-axle vehicles. The method calculates the axle load transfer of the vehicle during a stable longitudinal tilt process and accurately measures the center of gravity height of the entire vehicle.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring the center of gravity height of a vehicle, comprising:
[0006] Obtain the static radius of the vehicle's tires, the load-deformation characteristics of the tires, the suspension stiffness characteristics, the axle load, and the wheelbase of the two axles;
[0007] When the vehicle is on a horizontal surface for an emergency brake test, obtain the vehicle's braking deceleration, and suspension characteristic pressure height data before and during braking;
[0008] Calculate the axle load change in the emergency brake test based on the suspension stiffness characteristics and suspension characteristic pressure height data;
[0009] Calculate the center of gravity height and center of gravity height change during braking based on axle load, axle load change, wheelbase of both axles, braking deceleration, tire static radius, tire load deformation characteristics, axle load and suspension characteristic pressure height data;
[0010] The center of gravity height of the entire vehicle is calculated based on the center of gravity height and the change in center of gravity height during braking.
[0011] In implementing the embodiments of the present invention, an emergency braking test is conducted on a vehicle located on a horizontal surface to cause the vehicle to pitch. The center of gravity height during braking is calculated using data such as the axle load change and braking deceleration. The center of gravity height change during emergency braking is calculated using data such as the axle load, suspension characteristic pressure height data, and tire load deformation characteristics. The center of gravity height during braking is corrected using the center of gravity height change, and the center of gravity height of the entire vehicle at static state can be accurately calculated. This method is applicable to two-axle vehicles and vehicles that can be simplified to be considered two-axle. It calculates the axle load transfer of the vehicle during a stable pitch and accurately obtains the center of gravity height of the entire vehicle. It is also applicable to any vehicle load condition, and the center of gravity height of the entire vehicle can be calculated regardless of whether it is empty or fully loaded.

[0013] When the front suspension of the vehicle is a leaf spring suspension, obtaining the leaf spring stiffness of the suspension;
[0014] When the front suspension of the vehicle is an air suspension, the relationship between the height and load of the air spring is obtained.
[0015] When implementing the embodiment of the present invention, when the front suspension of the vehicle is different, the main influencing factors of the axle load change in the emergency braking test are different. The corresponding suspension stiffness characteristics are obtained in different situations, which facilitates the calculation of the axle load change in the emergency braking test in different ways.

Specifically, the loads of the air spring before and during braking are obtained based on the suspension height before and during braking, the air spring pressure before and during braking, and the relationship between the air spring height and load. Then, the axle load change during the emergency braking test is calculated based on the loads of the air spring before and during braking. The formula is as follows:
[0132] △M=(F f2 -F f1 ) / g;
[0133] Among them, F f2 is the load of the front suspension air spring during braking, F f1 It is the load of the front suspension air spring before braking.
[0134] Alternatively, the axle load change during the emergency brake test can be calculated using the following formula:
[0135] △M=(F r1 -F r2 ) / g;
[0136] Among them, F r1 is the load of the rear suspension air spring before braking, F r2 It is the load of the rear suspension air spring during braking.
[0137] In this embodiment, the axle load change during the vehicle emergency braking test refers to the axle load transfer. The reduction in the rear axle load is equal to the increase in the front axle load. Therefore, the axle load transfer of any axle can be calculated. When the front suspension of the vehicle is a leaf spring suspension, the stiffness K of the front suspension leaf spring is known. lf , front suspension height h before braking in emergency braking test f1 and front suspension height h during braking f2 , the axle load change (increase in front axle load) can be calculated as: △M=(h f1 -h f2 )*K lf / g, similarly, given the stiffness K of the rear suspension leaf spring lr, front suspension height h before braking in emergency braking test f1 and front suspension height h during braking f2 , the axle load change (reduction in rear axle load) can be calculated as △M=(h r2 -h r1 )*K lr / g. When the front suspension of the vehicle is an air suspension, the height of the front suspension air spring (i.e., front air suspension) before braking during the emergency braking test is h f1 and air pressure P f1 The load F of the front suspension air spring before braking can be checked based on the load deformation characteristics of the air spring. f1 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the height h of the front suspension air spring during the emergency braking test is also known. f2 The load F of the front suspension air spring after the height change can be obtained according to the load deformation characteristics of the air spring. f2 The difference between the front and rear loads of the front suspension air spring is the axle load variation △M=(F f2 -F f1 ) / g, similarly, the load deformation characteristics of the air spring are checked to see the load F of the rear suspension air spring before braking. r1 , and the height h of the rear suspension air spring during the emergency braking test is known r2 The load F of the rear suspension air spring after the height change can be obtained according to the load deformation characteristics of the air spring. r2 The difference between the loads before and after the rear suspension air spring brake is the axle load change △M=(F r1 -F r2 ) / g.
[0138] When the vehicle's front suspension is a leaf spring, the axle load change is calculated based on the leaf spring stiffness and the change in suspension height before and after braking. Since the decrease in rear axle load equals the increase in front axle load, the axle load change for either axle can be calculated, simplifying the calculation process. When the vehicle's front suspension is an air suspension, the air spring load can be determined based on its load-deformation characteristics. This method is simple, and the calculated air spring load change is the axle load change.
[0139] Step 104: Calculate the center of gravity height and the center of gravity height change during braking based on the axle load, axle load change, the wheelbase of the two axles, the braking deceleration, the static radius of the tire, the load deformation characteristics of the tire, the axle load and the suspension characteristic pressure height data.

[0143] According to the wheelbase and axle load of the two axles, calculate the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front axle. The formula is as follows:
[0144] L f =M r *L / M f ;
[0145] Among them, L f is the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front axle, L is the wheelbase of the two axles, M f is the front axle load, M r is the rear axle load;
[0146] The center of gravity height during braking is calculated based on the axle load, the distance from the vehicle's center of gravity to the front axle, the change in axle load, the wheelbase of the two axles, and the braking deceleration. The formula is as follows:

[0148] Where h is the height of the center of gravity during braking, a is the braking deceleration, △M is the change in axle load, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0149] In this embodiment, when the front axle load M is known f , rear axle load M r , the wheelbase L of the two axles can be used to calculate the distance L from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front axle f =M r *L / M f , and then according to the distance L from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front axle f , axle load change △M, wheelbase L of the two axles and braking deceleration a, vehicle center of gravity height h, the axle load equation before and after braking in the emergency braking test can be obtained, (M f +M r )*g*L f =(M f +M r )*a*h+(M r -△M)*g*L, the equation can be transformed to calculate the center of gravity height during braking h=[(M f+M r )*g*L f -(M r -△M)*g*L] / [(M f +M r )*a].
[0150] Optionally, the center of gravity height change is calculated based on the static radius of the tire, the load deformation characteristics of the tire, the wheelbase of the two axles, the axle load and the suspension characteristic pressure height data. The center of gravity height change is calculated as follows:
[0151] The deformation of the tire radius is obtained based on the axle load, the static radius of the tire, and the load deformation characteristics of the tire. The height change of the tire and suspension is then calculated based on the deformation of the tire radius before and during braking and the suspension height before and during braking.
[0152] Calculate the height change of the tire and suspension of the front axle using the following formula;
[0153] △h f =(△r tf2 -△r tf1 )+(h f1 -h f2 );
[0154] Among them, △h f is the height change of the tire and suspension of the front axle, △r tf2 is the deformation of the front suspension tire radius during braking, △r tf1 is the deformation of the front suspension tire radius before braking, h f1 is the front suspension height before braking, h f2 is the front suspension height when braking;
[0155] Calculate the height change of the tire and suspension of the rear axle using the following formula:
[0156] △h r =(△r tr2 -△r tr1 )+(h r2 -h r1 );
[0157] Among them, △h r is the height change of the tire and suspension of the rear axle, △r tr2 is the deformation of the rear suspension tire radius during braking, △r tr1 is the deformation of the rear suspension tire radius before braking, h r2 is the rear suspension height when braking, h r1 is the rear suspension height before braking;
[0158] According to the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front axle and the wheelbase of the two axles, calculate the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the rear axle. The formula is as follows:
[0159] L r =LL f ;
[0160] Among them, L r is the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the rear axle, L is the wheelbase of the two axles, L f is the distance from the vehicle's center of gravity to the front axle;
[0161] The height change of the center of gravity is calculated based on the height change of the tire and suspension of the front axle, the height change of the tire and suspension of the rear axle, and the distance from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the rear axle. The formula is as follows:
[0162] △h=L r *(△h f +△h r ) / L-△h r ;
[0163] Where △h is the change in the center of gravity height.
[0164] In this embodiment, the static radius of the tire (tire specifications) and the axle load values before and during braking are known during the emergency braking test. Based on the load-deformation characteristics of the tire, the deformation of the front suspension tire radius before braking, Δr, can be obtained. tf1 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the deformation of the front suspension tire radius during braking is △r tf2 , the deformation of the rear suspension tire radius before braking △r tr1 and the deformation of the rear suspension tire radius during braking △r tr2 , thus the tire radius before and during braking can be obtained, the front axle tire radius r before braking tf1 =r t -△r tf1 , front wheel tire radius r during braking tf2 =r t -△r tf2 , Rear axle tire radius r before braking tr1 =r t -△r tr1 , Rear wheel tire radius r during braking tf2 =r t -△r tr2 Then, according to the front suspension height h before braking obtained during the emergency braking test, f1 , front suspension height during braking h f2 , Rear suspension height before braking h r1 , rear suspension height h during braking r2When the emergency braking test process is completed, the height change of the front axle tire and suspension (the height increase of the front axle tire and suspension) △h can be calculated. f =(△r tf2 -△r tf1 )+(h f1 -h f2 ); height change of the rear axle tire and suspension (height reduction of the rear axle tire and suspension) △h r =(△r tr2 -△r tr1 )+(h r2 -h r1 ), the triangular relationship of the change in center of gravity height before and after braking, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the equation for the change in the vehicle's center of gravity height during emergency braking can be obtained: (△h+△h r ) / (△h r +△h f )=L r / L, transforming the above formula, we can calculate the change in center of gravity height △h=L r *(△h f +△h r ) / L-△h r .
[0165] Based on the load-deformation characteristics of the tires, the deformation of the front and rear suspensions before and after braking can be easily checked, thereby calculating the height increase of the axle tires and suspensions of the front and rear axles in the emergency braking test respectively. Based on the triangular relationship, the height change of the center of gravity of the entire vehicle during emergency braking can be accurately calculated.
[0166] Step 105: Calculate the vehicle's center of gravity height based on the center of gravity height and the center of gravity height change during braking.
[0167] In this embodiment, the height of both the front and rear suspensions changes during the emergency braking test. Therefore, the braking center of gravity height calculated above needs to be corrected to obtain the static vehicle center of gravity height. The braking center of gravity height and the change in center of gravity height are numerically calculated to calculate the vehicle center of gravity height. As an example of this embodiment, the braking center of gravity height h and the change in center of gravity height are summed to calculate the vehicle center of gravity height H = h + Δh.
[0168] This embodiment utilizes an emergency braking test with the vehicle positioned on a horizontal surface to induce pitch. The center of gravity height during braking is calculated using data such as axle load change and braking deceleration. The center of gravity height change during emergency braking is calculated using data such as axle load, suspension characteristic pressure height, and tire load-deformation characteristics. The center of gravity height during braking is corrected using this change in center of gravity height, allowing for accurate calculation of the vehicle's static center of gravity height. This method is applicable to two-axle vehicles, as well as vehicles that can be simplified to be considered two-axle vehicles. It calculates axle load transfer during a stable pitch, accurately obtaining the vehicle's center of gravity height. It is also applicable to any vehicle load condition, whether empty or fully loaded, and can calculate the vehicle's center of gravity height.
