[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile design and manufacturing, and in particular to a connection structure design method and system for a segmented large-load-bearing swing arm. Background Art

[0002] The suspension system is an important part of the car, which has a great impact on the ride smoothness and handling stability of the car. The independent suspension swing arm (also known as the control arm) is a guide and force transmission element of the automobile suspension system. It is used to transmit various forces acting on the wheel to the body, while ensuring that the wheel moves along a certain trajectory. The independent suspension swing arm elastically connects the wheel and the body through a ball joint or bushing. The independent suspension swing arm should have sufficient rigidity, strength and service life.

[0003] At present, the independent suspension swing arms of medium-sized vehicles are mostly forged parts. Because it is difficult to form the whole blank, they are often made of two-stage or split structures, and each split part is connected by bolts. In the actual application process, the selection of bolts is based on experience and requires repeated tests to determine, which greatly reduces the efficiency of automobile production. Summary of the invention

[0007] Assign values ​​to the performance parameters of the bushing components, apply multi-condition loads to the components of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm for simulation calculation, and obtain the six-directional loads of the bushing components;

[0008] Based on the obtained six-way load and the preload generated by the normal pressure required on the joint surface, the strength analysis of the bolt is carried out in an iterative manner;

[0009] Based on the analysis results, determine the minimum specifications and mechanical strength grade of the bolts;

[0010] Wherein, the joint surface is the contact surface between the main body bearing member, the auxiliary guide member and the limit block support member;

[0017] Adjust the position of the bushing element so that the axis of the bushing element coincides with the axis of the bolt, and for each bushing element, establish a coordinate system with the intersection of the axis of the bushing element and the corresponding joint surface as the origin;

[0018] The bushing element is connected to the parts of the corresponding joint surfaces of the current bushing element to form three sets of connection pairs.

[0019] On the basis of the above technical solution, the performance parameters of the bushing element are assigned values, specifically, six-way stiffness parameters and damping parameters of the bushing element are assigned values.

[0020] On the basis of the above technical solution, the multi-condition load is applied to each component of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm to perform simulation calculation to obtain the six-direction load of the bushing element. The specific steps include:

[0041] Specifically, the main bearing member includes a main bearing member body, a ball pin arranged at the front end of the main bearing member body, a swing arm front bushing arranged at the rear end of the main bearing member body, and a support bushing arranged at the middle of the main bearing member body. The auxiliary guide member includes an auxiliary guide member body and a swing arm rear bushing arranged at the rear end of the auxiliary guide member body.

[0042] As for the specific connection method between the main bearing member, the auxiliary guide member and the limit block support member, the front end of the main bearing member and the front end of the limit block support member are connected by bolts, the rear part of the main bearing member and the front end of the auxiliary guide member are connected by bolts, and the rear part of the auxiliary guide member and the front end of the limit block support member are connected by bolts.

[0043] See also Figure 2 As shown, a connection structure design method of a segmented large load-bearing swing arm provided by an embodiment of the present invention is used to design and analyze the performance of the bolts of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm, that is, to select the specifications of the bolts of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm and analyze the mechanical performance grade strength of the bolts. The connection structure design method of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] S1: Import the model of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm into the simulation software, and replace the bolts in the segmented large load-bearing swing arm with bushing elements;

[0045] In the present invention, the model of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm is imported into the simulation software, and the bolts in the segmented large load-bearing swing arm are replaced with bushing elements. The specific steps include:

[0046] S101: Import the 3D model of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm into ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) software;

[0047] S102: Use the bushing element provided in the ADAMS software to replace the bolts in the segmented large load-bearing swing arm. That is, the bolts are regarded as elastic parts (with six-way strength) and replaced with the bushing element provided in the ADAMS software.

[0048] In the present invention, the bushing element provided in the ADAMS software is used to replace the bolts in the segmented large load-bearing swing arm, specifically:

[0049] S1021: placing a bushing element on a joint surface between the main bearing member and the auxiliary guide member, a joint surface between the auxiliary guide member and the limit block support member, and a joint surface between the limit block support member and the main bearing member;

[0050] There are three bolts in the original segmented large load-bearing swing arm, so there are also three bushing elements, one of which is placed on the joint surface between the main bearing part and the auxiliary guide part, one is placed on the joint surface between the auxiliary guide part and the limit block support part, and the remaining bushing element is placed on the joint surface between the limit block support part and the main bearing part. The joint surface is the contact surface between the components.

[0051] S1022: adjusting the position of the bushing element so that the axis of the bushing element coincides with the axis of the bolt, and for each bushing element, establishing a coordinate system with the intersection of the axis of the bushing element and the corresponding joint surface as the origin;

[0052] There is no volume requirement for the bushing element, only a direction requirement. The position of the bushing element is adjusted so that the axis of the bushing element coincides with the axis of the bolt corresponding to the bushing element, and then a local coordinate system is established for each bushing element.

[0053] For example, for the bushing element between the main bearing part and the auxiliary guide part, the intersection of the axis of the bushing element and the joint surface between the main bearing part and the auxiliary guide part is taken as the coordinate origin, the axis of the bushing element is the X-axis, the positive direction points to the threaded end of the bolt, the Z-axis points to the axis of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm, and the Y-axis is determined by the right-hand rule.

[0054] S1023: Connect the bushing element and the parts of the corresponding joint surface of the current bushing element to form three sets of connection pairs. For example, for the bushing element between the main bearing member and the auxiliary guide member, connect the bushing element, the main bearing member and the auxiliary guide member to form a set of connection pairs.

[0055] S2: Assign values ​​to the performance parameters of the bushing element, apply multi-condition loads to various components of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm for simulation calculation, and obtain the six-directional loads of the bushing element;

[0056] In the present invention, the performance parameters of the bushing element are assigned values, specifically, the six-way stiffness parameters and damping parameters of the bushing element are assigned values. The size of the six-way stiffness parameters and damping parameters has an impact on the simulation convergence, but does not affect the calculation results.

[0057] In the present invention, multi-condition loads are applied to various components of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm to perform simulation calculations to obtain six-directional loads of the bushing element. The specific steps include:

[0058] S201: Apply multi-condition loads to various components of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm for simulation calculation, without taking into account friction and anti-loosening preload;

[0059] S202: Based on the simulation results, the obtained six-way load of each bushing element is used as the six-way load of the corresponding bolt.

[0060] That is, multi-condition loads extracted from the vehicle analysis model acting on the components of the large load-bearing swing arm are applied for simulation calculation, and then the six-way loads ( , , , , , ) as the six-way load of the corresponding bolt.

[0061] S3: Based on the obtained six-way load and the preload generated by the required normal pressure on the joint surface, the strength analysis of the bolt is carried out in an iterative manner; the joint surface is the contact surface between the main bearing member, the auxiliary guide member and the limit block support member.

[0062] S4: Based on the analysis results, determine the minimum specifications and mechanical strength grade of the bolts;

[0063] In the present invention, the minimum specification and mechanical strength grade of the bolt are determined, and the specific steps include:

[0064] S401: Based on the six-way load of the bolt and the preset algorithm, the nominal diameter of the bolt is calculated and rounded to initially select the bolt specification;

[0065] S402: Calculate the working stress of the bolt under each working condition and take the maximum value;

[0066] S403: Calculate the preload stress of the bolt according to the required preload and the nominal diameter of the initially selected bolt;

[0067] S404: superimposing the calculated maximum working stress and preload stress to form a resultant stress;

[0068] S405: The combined stress is not greater than the preset multiple yield strength of the mechanical property grade as a judgment condition, and iterative optimization is continuously performed until the condition is met, thereby determining the minimum specification and mechanical strength grade of the bolt. The preset multiple can be 0.8 times.

[0069] Specifically, on the one hand, according to the obtained six-way load of the bolt and the calculation formula , find the nominal diameter of the bolt (Unit: mm) and rounded to initially select the bolt specifications, then calculate the working stress of the bolt under each working condition (calculate and synthesize the maximum normal stress according to the fourth strength theory), and take the maximum value; on the other hand, according to the required preload (≥1.5 ) and the nominal diameter of the initially selected bolt to calculate the preload stress. Finally, the maximum working stress and the preload stress are superimposed to form the resultant stress. The resultant stress is not greater than 0.8 times the yield strength of the mechanical property grade as the judgment condition. Iterative optimization is continuously performed until the conditions are met, and the required bolt specifications (rounded to the larger diameter) and mechanical property grades are obtained.

[0070] in, It is derived by considering only the two-way main loads, using the minimum required mechanical strength level 8.8 and judgment conditions.

[0071] The connection structure design method of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm in the embodiment of the present invention imports the model of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm into the simulation software, replaces the bolts in the segmented large load-bearing swing arm with bushing elements, and then assigns performance parameters of the bushing elements, applies multi-condition loads to each component of the segmented large load-bearing swing arm for simulation calculation, and obtains the six-way load of the bushing element, and then based on the obtained six-way load and the preload generated by the required positive pressure on the joint surface, an iterative method is used to perform strength analysis on the bolts, and finally based on the analysis results, the minimum specification and mechanical strength grade of the bolts are determined, so as to achieve effective determination of bolt selection and improve automobile production efficiency.
