It should also be understood that the terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted in the meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of related technologies, and should not be interpreted in idealized or excessively formalized meanings, unless otherwise explicitly defined herein.
[0060] The techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but should be considered as part of the specification where appropriate.
[0061] The number and position of the current battery pack fixing points are designed by referring to the arrangement spacing and position of the corresponding fixing points of the existing vehicle models, combining with experience and manually arranging, and then carrying out simulation analysis verification and comparison. The disadvantage is that the ideal number and position of the battery pack fixing points of different vehicle models are different, and manual arrangement often cannot find the optimal design. Moreover, the battery pack fixing points include the combination of fixing point position and number variables, which requires a large amount of design scheme analysis and verification comparison, and the workload is large.
[0062] As shown in Figure 1 The battery pack fixing point number and position optimization method provided by the embodiment specifically includes the following steps in the actual execution process:
[0063] Step S1, building a finite element model of the body-in-white and the battery pack.
[0064] In an embodiment of the battery pack fixing point number and position optimization method of the present disclosure, the step S1 can specifically include:
[0065] Step S11, building a body-in-white stiffness analysis finite element model.
[0066] As shown in Figure 2 In an embodiment of the battery pack fixing point number and position optimization method of the present disclosure, the step S11 can specifically include:
[0067] Step S111, constraining the translational degrees of freedom of X, Y and Z directions at the body-in-white and the rear suspension spring mounting point of the chassis.
[0068] Step S112: Apply two Z-axis concentrated forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction to the shock absorber mounting points in front of the body-in-white and the chassis to form a torque around the X-axis with a torque magnitude of 2000 N·m.
[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, the torque around the X-axis can be other values, such as 1800 N·m, 2000 N·m, etc., and the present invention does not specifically limit it.
[0070] Step S113: Constrain the Z-direction degree of freedom of the MPC (multi-point rigid constraint) at the two mounting points of the front shock absorber so that the absolute values of the relative Z-direction displacements at the two mounting points are equal.
[0071] Step S113 ensures that the vehicle body only undergoes torsional deformation around the X-axis.
[0072] Step S12: Build the finite element model of the battery pack and add the built finite element model of the battery pack to the finite element model of the body-in-white.
[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in actual structures, battery pack fixing is typically achieved by bolting the battery pack frame to the left and right side sills and front and rear crossbeams of the lower body of the vehicle body. Specifically, in this invention, Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a typical cross-sectional structure at the junction of the battery pack frame and the door sill. During finite element model construction, to facilitate later optimization, the bolts connecting the battery pack frame and the left and right door sills and front and rear crossbeams of the lower body of the vehicle were simplified to cylindrical surfaces composed of shell elements. These bolts were then connected to the battery pack frame and body-in-white elements via tie connections. The tie connection distance was set to 1.5-2.0 times (e.g., 1.8 times) the average element size. The advantage of this connection is that during optimization, the solver can automatically search for the nearest battery pack frame and body-in-white element nodes to the bolt nodes and establish connections. These connections can be updated during the optimization iteration process.
[0074] Step S2: Analyze the basic stiffness of the body-in-white based on the finite element model of the body-in-white.
[0075] In one embodiment of the method for optimizing the number and location of battery pack fixing points according to the present invention, step S2 may specifically include:
[0076] Step S21: Based on the finite element model of the body-in-white stiffness analysis, calculate the torsional angle θ at the front of the body-in-white using the following formula.
[0077] θ=180°arctan((Z1-Z2) / Y) / π (1)
[0078] Wherein, Z1 represents the Z-direction deformation value of the left measuring point, Z2 represents the Z-direction deformation value of the right measuring point, Y is the Y-direction distance between the left measuring point and the right measuring point, and the measuring point is the close point of the X coordinate of the bottom of the front side frame and the front shock absorber mounting point of the body-in-white.
[0079] Step S22, according to the torsion angle θ of the front side of the body-in-white, the torsion stiffness Kr is calculated by the following formula:
[0080] K r = 2000 / θ (2)
[0081] K r represents the torsion stiffness, that is, the torque value under unit angle deformation is obtained.
[0082] After analyzing a certain type of body-in-white according to the above working condition, the Z-direction positions of the two sides are 1.18 mm and -1.19 mm respectively, the Y-direction distance between the two measuring points is 940 mm, and the torsion stiffness of the body-in-white is 2000 / (180*arctan((1.18-(-1.19)) / 940) / π), that is, Kr=13745 N·m / °. The stiffness index after adding the battery pack will increase the basic stiffness by a certain amount.
[0083] Step S3, arranging the battery pack fixing points in a high-density manner in the finite element model of the body-in-white.
[0084] Specifically, high-density fixing points are arranged at an interval of 40-60 mm (for example, 50 mm) in the feasible fixing point position area of the body-in-white, and the shell element of each fixing point bolt constitutes a separate part, and the elastic modulus E of the material is separately set, and the feasible fixing point position area includes the left and right rocker or cross beam of the lower vehicle body. The elastic modulus E is equivalent to the connection strength, so that the battery pack will be arranged with hundreds of fixing points. It should be noted that the arrangement interval of the fixing points is not specifically limited in the present application.
[0085] The bolt is simplified as a cylindrical surface composed of shell elements, and the optimization of the elastic modulus is only one kind of connection and optimization method, and in other embodiments of the present application, a spring can be used to connect the battery pack frame and the left and right rocker and front and rear cross beam structure of the lower vehicle body of the body-in-white, and in this case, it is also feasible to optimize the spring stiffness and the like.
[0086] Step S4, setting different stiffness index constraints and running a group of parameter optimizations to determine the optimal number and optimal initial position of the key fixing points.
[0087] In one embodiment of the optimization method of the number and position of the battery pack fixing points of the present application, the step S4 can specifically include:
[0088] Step S41, the elastic modulus E of each bolt component is set as a discrete variable, and the variable value range is set as a minimum value and a maximum value. If the optimization result is the minimum value, it indicates that the fixed point does not need to be fixed, and it is a non-critical fixed point. If it is the maximum value, it indicates that the fixed point needs to be fixed, and it is a critical fixed point.
[0089] Exemplarily, the minimum value is taken as 10, and the maximum value is taken as 10e7. It needs to be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the values of the minimum value and the maximum value.
[0090] Step S42, the optimal number of fixed points is determined through a group of parameter optimization.
[0091] In an embodiment of the method for optimizing the number and position of the fixed points of the battery pack, the step S42 can specifically include:
[0092] Step S421, the corresponding body stiffness under different numbers of fixed points is solved.
[0093] Step S422, the optimal number of fixed points is confirmed according to the change trend of the body stiffness.
[0094] Step S43, the sum of the elastic modulus E of all bolt components is taken as the optimization constraint condition.
[0095] Specifically, the optimization constraint condition is that the sum of the elastic modulus E of all bolt components is not greater than n*10e 7 , where n represents the maximum number of constraint fixed points, and the constraint violation tolerance is 0.08%-0.15% (for example, 0.1%). If the optimization constraint is that the sum of all variables is not greater than 15*10e7 (with a constraint violation tolerance of 0.1%), the number of constraint fixed points is not greater than 15.
[0096] Step S44, the optimization is solved with the maximum body stiffness as the target operating parameter, and the optimization result can obtain the maximum body stiffness value under the corresponding number of constraints and the optimal initial position of the battery pack fixed point.
[0097] In an embodiment of the method for optimizing the number and position of the fixed points of the battery pack, the step S44 can specifically include:
[0098] Step S441, a series of body stiffness value results are obtained by setting different optimization constraint values, and a corresponding fixed point number-body stiffness maximum value curve (for example, as shown in Figure 6 ).
[0099] Step S442, the number of fixed points of the stiffness growth efficiency turning point in the curve is determined according to the curve change trend of the fixed point number-body stiffness maximum value curve, as the optimal number of battery pack fixed points.
[0100] by Figure 6 Taking the curve shown as an example, based on the trend of the curve, it can be determined that a high stiffness growth efficiency can still be maintained when the number of fixed points in the figure is 24; when the number exceeds 24, the stiffness growth efficiency decreases significantly. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the optimal number of fixed points is 24.
[0101] Step S443: Based on the optimal number of battery pack fixing points, find the optimization result corresponding to the optimal number constraint to obtain the initial position of the corresponding key fixing points.
[0102] After determining the optimal number of fixed points, the optimization result corresponding to the optimal number constraint can be found, and the initial position of the corresponding key fixed points can be obtained.
[0103] Step S5: Based on the optimization results of the optimal number of key fixed points and the optimal initial position, delete non-key fixed points, set the position variables of key fixed points, and optimize the shape of the positions of key fixed points.
[0104] After determining the optimal number and initial position of key fixing points through the first stage of optimization, the second stage of optimization further optimizes the shape of the fine positions of the battery pack fixing points. In one embodiment of the method for optimizing the number and position of battery pack fixing points of the present invention, step S5 may specifically include:
[0105] Step S51: Based on the optimization results, delete non-critical fixed point components and delete all elastic modulus variables and optimization constraints corresponding to non-critical fixed point components. Set the elastic modulus of critical fixed point components to a maximum value (e.g., 10e7) so that the critical fixed point components are approximately rigidly connected.
[0106] Step S52: Use mesh deformation to define that each key fixed point can move within a preset range. Define the optimized key fixed point to be able to move within a range of ±(40mm-60mm), and define each movement distance as a shape variable.
[0107] like Figure 7 As shown, if the spacing between high-density fixed points is set to 50mm in step S3, the optimized key fixed points can be moved within a range of ±50mm.
[0108] Step S53: Adjust the optimization objective to maximize stiffness.
[0109] With the above settings, the second stage of optimization is shape optimization, which seeks the optimal position for each key fixing point within ±50mm of its original location, aiming to maximize stiffness. Running shape optimization will yield the optimal and precise position for each key fixing point.
[0110] The battery pack fixing point quantity and position optimization method provided by the embodiment of the application finds the optimal quantity and position of the battery pack fixing points, automatically optimizes the quantity and position of the battery pack fixing points, and reduces the manual workload; the combination of multiple optimization methods is used to identify the key fixing point quantity and position; a set of parameter optimizations are performed on the high-density battery pack fixing points, the key fixing point quantity and preliminary position are confirmed through the influence trend of different quantities of fixing points on the body stiffness performance; and the key fixing point position is optimized in shape to obtain the optimal accurate position of the key fixing point.
