[0003] In the prior art, when performing a static radial stiffness test on a tire, only the test data in the vertical force loading stage is obtained, and the test data in the vertical force unloading stage is not considered. The accuracy of the obtained static tire radial stiffness is low, and the obtained radial stiffness values are all single-point values, which is not convenient for analyzing the characteristics of the tire.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of the static tire radial stiffness result and make it more convenient for tire characteristic analysis is a technical problem to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Assume the fitting formula is y = ax + b, and the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition are separately fitted according to the fitting formula to obtain the numerical values of constants a and b.

[0015] The numerical value of a is taken as the radial rigidity.

[0016] Where y is the vertical force and x is the radial displacement.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the preset maximum target load includes 80%, or 100%, or 120% of the maximum load of the test tire.

[0024] When receiving a test instruction sent by a user, controlling the loading module to apply a vertical force to the test tire at a preset moving speed until each preset target load is reached and finally reaching the preset maximum target load. Among them, the radial displacement is determined by the positioning module after each preset target load or the preset maximum target load is reached and maintained for the second preset duration.

[0025] The control loading module unloads the vertical force on the test tire from the preset maximum target load until it is reduced to each of the preset target loads respectively. Wherein, after each reduction to a preset target load and maintaining the second preset duration, the radial displacement is determined by the positioning module;

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for fitting the radial force of a static tire in zones. By performing cubic polynomial fitting on the test data of the radial force in each zone, the test data in the load loading stage and the load unloading stage can be accurately fitted into a smooth curve, which is used to calculate tire characteristic values, conduct benchmark analysis, or be used for tire model identification, featuring high accuracy, good repeatability, and high efficiency.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, it includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S101: Assemble the test tire onto the test rim, inflate the test tire to a preset air pressure and park it until it meets the first preset duration, and then fix the combination of the test tire and the test rim to the test rigid machine.

[0047] In this embodiment, first, a tire radial rigidity test is conducted, and the final static radial rigidity result is determined based on the test data. The test rigid machine is used to perform radial rigidity tests on the test tire.

[0048] Pre-select tires with good appearance quality as test tires, then assemble the test tires onto the test rims, inflate the test tires to the preset air pressure and park them until they meet the first preset duration.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the preset air pressure can be 250 kPa or 290 kPa, and the first preset duration is not less than 24 h. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set different preset air pressures and first preset durations according to actual needs.

[0050] Step S102: Load the vertical force on the test tire at a preset moving speed until each preset target load is reached and finally the preset maximum target load is reached. Among them, the radial displacement is determined after each preset target load or the preset maximum target load is reached and maintained for the second preset duration.

[0051] In this embodiment, the direction of the vertical force corresponds to the tire coordinate system. As Figure 2 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the tire coordinate system. The vertical force corresponds to the Z'-axis of the tire coordinate system. The tire coordinate system is a right-handed rectangular coordinate system with the tire contact center as the origin. The X'-axis is the intersection line of the tire center plane and the road plane, and the forward direction of the tire center plane is positive; the Z'-axis is the plumb line, and the upward direction is positive; the Y'-axis is in the road plane, and the direction is determined according to the right-hand rule.

[0052] Pre-set multiple preset target loads, such as Figure 3As shown, the vertical force Fz is applied to the test tire at a preset moving speed until each preset target load is reached and finally the preset maximum target load is reached. After each preset target load or preset maximum target load is reached, to improve the test accuracy, the second preset duration is maintained, and then the radial displacement Sz is determined, so that multiple sets of vertical forces Fz and radial displacements Sz corresponding to each preset target load and the preset maximum target load can be obtained during the load application stage.

[0053] Optionally, the preset moving speed is 50 mm / min and the second preset duration is 1 min. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set different preset moving speeds and second preset durations according to actual needs.

[0054] To improve the accuracy of test data, in some embodiments of the present application, before applying the vertical force to the test tire at the preset moving speed until each preset target load is reached, the method further includes:

[0055] Apply the vertical force to the test tire at the first preset moving speed until the pretest load is reached, unload after maintaining the third preset duration, repeat the preset number of times for pretesting, and after the pretesting is completed, inflate the test tire to the preset air pressure.

[0056] In this embodiment, before officially performing the radial rigidity test on the test tire, perform the preset number of pretests. After determining that there is no problem with the test tire and the test rigidity machine, inflate the test tire to the preset air pressure for the official test.

[0057] Optionally, the pretest load is 80% of the maximum load of the test tire, and the third preset duration can be 5 s.

[0058] Step S103, unload the vertical force from the preset maximum target load of the test tire until it is reduced to each of the preset target loads respectively. Among them, after each reduction to a preset target load and maintaining the second preset duration, the radial displacement is determined.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, after the test in the load application stage is completed, enter the load unloading stage. Unload the vertical force Fz from the preset maximum target load of the test tire until it is reduced to each of the preset target loads respectively. After each reduction to a preset target load, maintain the second preset duration, and then determine the radial displacement Sz, so that multiple sets of vertical forces Fz and radial displacements Sz corresponding to each preset target load can be obtained during the load unloading stage.

[0060] Step S104, plot a scatter diagram of the test data of the vertical force and the radial displacement with the radial displacement as the abscissa and the vertical force as the ordinate.

[0061] In this embodiment, based on multiple sets of vertical forces and radial displacements obtained according to steps S102 and S103, a scatter plot of test data of vertical force and radial displacement is plotted with the radial displacement as the abscissa and the vertical force as the ordinate.

[0062] Step S105: Divide the load loading stage and the load unloading stage of the test data scatter plot according to 0%-60% and 60%-100% of the preset maximum target load respectively to form four partitions.

[0063] It can be understood that the load loading stage of the test data scatter plot is divided into two partitions corresponding to 0%-60% and 60%-100% of the set maximum target load, and the load unloading stage of the test data scatter plot is divided into two partitions corresponding to 0%-60% and 60%-100% of the set maximum target load.

[0064] Step S106: Separate one-dimensional linear equation fitting is performed on the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition respectively to determine the radial rigidity of each partition.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to accurately determine the radial rigidity of each partition, separate one-dimensional linear equation fitting is performed on the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition respectively to determine the radial rigidity of each partition. Specifically:

[0066] Let the fitting formula be y = ax + b, and separate fitting is performed on the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition according to the fitting formula to obtain the numerical values of constants a and b;

[0067] The numerical value of a is used as the radial rigidity;

[0068] Among them, y is the vertical force and x is the radial displacement.

[0069] It can be understood that both y and Figure 3 Fz in Figure 3 are vertical forces, and both x and

[0070] Sz in

[0071] are radial displacements.

[0072] It should be noted that the solutions of the above embodiments are only a specific implementation solution proposed by the present application, and other methods of separately performing one-dimensional linear equation fitting on the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition and determining the radial rigidity of each partition all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0073] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the preset maximum target load includes 80%, or 100%, or 120% of the maximum load of the test tire.

[0074] By applying the above technical solution, a static radial rigidity test is performed on the test tire to obtain multiple sets of vertical forces and radial displacements in the load loading stage and the load unloading stage. With the radial displacement as the abscissa and the vertical force as the ordinate, a scatter plot of the test data of the vertical force and the radial displacement is drawn; according to 0%-60% and 60%-100% of the preset maximum target load, the load loading stage and the load unloading stage of the test data scatter plot are respectively divided to form four partitions; the vertical force and the radial displacement of each partition are respectively fitted with a single linear equation to determine the radial rigidity of each partition; a radial rigidity curve is generated by fitting the radial rigidities of each partition, thereby further improving the accuracy of the static tire radial rigidity result and making it more convenient for tire characteristic analysis.

[0075] An embodiment of the present application also proposes a static tire radial force partition fitting device, as Figure 4 shown, the device includes:

[0079] When receiving a test instruction sent by a user, controlling the loading module 10 to load a vertical force on the test tire at a preset moving speed until each preset target load is reached and finally the preset maximum target load is reached. Among them, after each preset target load or the preset maximum target load is reached and maintained for a second preset duration, the radial displacement is determined by the positioning module 20;

[0080] Controlling the loading module 10 to unload the vertical force on the test tire from the preset maximum target load until it is respectively reduced to each preset target load. Among them, after each reduction to a preset target load and maintaining the second preset duration, the radial displacement is determined by the positioning module 20;

[0081] Taking the radial displacement as the abscissa and the vertical force as the ordinate, drawing a scatter plot of the test data of the vertical force and the radial displacement;

[0082] According to 0%-60% and 60%-100% of the preset maximum target load, the load loading stage and the load unloading stage of the test data scatter plot are respectively divided to form four partitions;

[0083] Separate unary linear equations are fitted to the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition respectively, and the radial rigidity of each partition is determined;

[0084] A radial rigidity curve is generated by fitting according to the radial rigidity of each partition.

[0085] In a specific application scenario of the present application, the controller 30 is specifically used for:

[0086] Let the fitting formula be y = ax + b, and the vertical force and radial displacement of each partition are separately fitted according to the fitting formula to obtain the values of the constants a and b;

[0087] The value of a is used as the radial rigidity;

[0088] Where y is the vertical force and x is the radial displacement.

[0089] In a specific application scenario of the present application, the preset maximum target load includes 80%, or 100%, or 120% of the maximum load of the test tire.

[0090] In a specific application scenario of the present application, the controller 30 is further used for:

[0091] When receiving a pre-test instruction sent by the user, control the loading module 10 to load a vertical force on the test tire at the first preset moving speed until the pre-test load is reached, unload after maintaining for a third preset duration, and repeat the preset number of times for pre-test.

[0092] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
