TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to a passenger vehicle front end module structure design method, device, terminal and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Generally, the engine hood lock is fixed on the front end module, and the load influence caused by the engine hood lock needs to be considered in the front end module structure design. An extreme working condition is that when the vehicle is running at high speed, the engine hood lock is suddenly opened from the full lock state to the half lock state due to misoperation or mechanical failure. At this time, air passes through the half-locked engine hood to generate a strong impact on the engine hood lock. If the strength of the front end module is insufficient, the engine hood lock will be detached from the front end module, and the engine hood will continue to open, turn over and hit the front windshield under the action of the wind load, which affects driving and causes safety accidents and endangers the lives of passengers.

[0003] At present, in the development of the front end module, an empirical and larger load is usually used to replace the impact, and the empirical replacement load is generally kept unchanged in the development of front end modules of different vehicle models. However, in fact, the impact load is related to the modeling of the front grille and the engine hood, the height of the engine hood when it is half-locked, the size of the engine hood, and the structure of the inner and outer plates of the engine hood. If the empirical replacement load is much larger than the actual load, the structure design will inevitably be overstrong, the vehicle cost and weight will increase, unnecessary waste will be caused, and the vehicle cost and fuel economy or the cruising range of an electric vehicle will be affected. If the empirical replacement load is smaller than the actual load, quality problems may occur in the later test or even in the use of users, which has adverse effects on the development cycle, development cost and user safety.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Figure 2This is a flowchart of a passenger vehicle front-end module structure design method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the design of passenger vehicle front-end module structures. The method can be executed by a passenger vehicle front-end module structure design device in this embodiment of the present invention, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware.

[0057] include:

[0058] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A method for designing a front-end module structure for a passenger vehicle, comprising:

[0059] Step 1: Establish the finite element model of front-end module 1;

[0060] The specific method is as follows:

[0061] 11) Perform geometric cleanup on the CAD model of front-end module 1, retaining all fillet features;

[0062] 12) After meshing, establish the finite element model of front-end module 1;

[0063] 13) Assign the material of the front-end module to the finite element model of front-end module 1.

[0064] Step 2: Establish a finite element model of the engine hood;

[0065] Specific methods include:

[0066] 21) Clean up the CAD model of the engine hood;

[0067] 22) After meshing, establish a finite element model of the engine hood, and try to keep the mesh size uniform;

[0068] 23) Connect all parts of the engine hood according to the design specifications;

[0069] 24) Perform modal analysis on the engine hood to check whether the connection of the finite element model of the engine hood is normal.

[0070] Step 3: Establish the aerodynamic model of the whole vehicle;

[0071] The vehicle aerodynamic model includes a front grille, headlights, underbody protection, and aerodynamic components; the engine hood is adjusted to a semi-locked state. Figure 1 The document records the location of engine hood lock fixing point 2; the various assemblies in the engine compartment are arranged according to the design structure.

[0072] Step 4: Analyze the air pressure under the engine hood;

[0073] The specific method is as follows:

[0074] Calculate the wind pressure on the inner and outer panels of the engine hood in a semi-locked state at a wind speed of 180 km / h.

[0075] Step 5: Apply air pressure to the engine hood;

[0076] The specific method is as follows:

[0077] Map the wind pressure calculated in step four onto the finite element model of the engine hood established in step two; the wind pressure mapped by aerodynamics is in file form, recording the pressure on each finite element mesh of the engine hood, and importing the file into the strength model completes the wind pressure loading.

[0078] Step 6: Assemble the model;

[0079] The specific method is as follows:

[0080] Assemble the finite element model of the front-end module established in step one and the engine hood model after the wind pressure was loaded in step five. The engine hood is in a half-locked open state, and the engine hood locking hook is rigidly connected to the locking point of the front-end module. This includes roll forming of the inner and outer panels, welding connections, and adhesive bonding.

[0081] Step 7: Verify the strength of the front-end module.

[0082] The specific method is as follows:

[0083] Submit the assembled model from step six for calculation to obtain the stress distribution of the front-end module under wind load 3. Evaluate the stress at each location of the front-end module. If the requirements are not met, the front-end module needs to be locally strengthened. Then repeat step one to check and verify the optimized structure until the front-end module meets the performance requirements.

[0084] In the development of a certain MPV model, a plastic front-end module was used. Under semi-locked high load (4500N) conditions, the front-end module failed in many places, and the stress exceeded the standard over a large area. The optimization was extremely difficult, with an estimated optimization cycle of more than 3 weeks and an increase in weight of 3.6kg. Moreover, due to the thick plastic surface of the design, it was prone to process defects in the later stages.

[0085] Considering the smaller size and larger angle of the engine hood in MPV vehicles, the actual load may deviate significantly from 4500N. Therefore, the method of this invention is adopted. Aerodynamic calculations were performed to obtain the wind pressure load under a partially locked engine hood at a vehicle speed of 180km / h. This load was applied to the strength calculation model, and the load of the engine hood on the front-end module was only 930N. After setting a safety factor of 1.5, a final load of 1500N was used to verify the front-end module. The empirical load was three times the calculated load.

[0086] After applying a 1500N load, the structure only experienced stress concentration at a few rounded corners, failing to meet the strength requirements. Structural optimization was completed within a week without increasing the weight of the front-end module, and the surface thickness met the process requirements. The front-end module prototype successfully passed subsequent testing and verification.

[0087] In subsequent vehicle development, the method of this invention should be adopted for the development of front-end modules for different models, shapes, engine hoods, and engine compartment layouts. This involves calculating wind pressure under semi-locked high-load conditions, followed by strength verification and structural optimization of the front-end modules to avoid excessive structural strength, shorten development cycles, and reduce overall vehicle weight and parts costs. Furthermore, considering a certain brand's luxury model with a large engine hood and relatively uniform layout, load calculations for this condition are also necessary to avoid any oversights.
