Description
Technical field:
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle quality detection, and in particular relates to a vehicle interior air quality technology. Background technology:
[0002] With the upgrading of automobile consumption and people's desire to pursue a better life, my country's automobile consumers are gradually becoming more aware of automobile environmental protection. The number of consumer complaints about odors in cars is increasing. The perception of odors in cars has become one of the important factors for consumers to choose their intended car models and make purchasing decisions.
[0003] The current vehicle manufacturers' in-vehicle air quality testing methods generally require that after a vehicle is fully assembled and rolled off the production line, it is left to stand for a specified period of time (28±5 days) before being placed in a vehicle VOC / odor environment chamber for pretreatment to meet the specified requirements, and then the vehicle odor evaluation is performed to identify odors and VOC tests. The disadvantage of the current method is that it is necessary to wait until the vehicle is fully assembled and rolled off the production line and has stood for a sufficient period of time before testing can be performed. In the normal development process, it generally takes a waiting period of 2-3 months, and it is impossible to predict the vehicle's odor in advance, identify problems in advance, and make corrections. On the other hand, it is impossible to perform differentiated olfactory judgments on the various components in the vehicle in batches and identify the source of odor in the vehicle.
[0004] Patent document CN201510170251.9 discloses an odor detection cabin and a method for detecting automobile odor sources, which function is to improve the accuracy of detecting odor sources in the vehicle, but cannot solve the risk identification when the actual vehicle resources are not fully prepared but it is necessary to quickly identify whether the odor of the vehicle meets the standard, nor can it lock the source of the odor source in the vehicle space. Summary of the invention:
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a vehicle interior air quality detection cabin and detection method, which provides a modular structural cabin and combines a variety of standard vehicle frame models to replace the actual vehicle to complete rapid detection, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing test vehicle resources and shortening the test cycle.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle interior air quality detection cabin, which includes three cabin modules, namely, a cabin module, a passenger structure cabin module and a luggage compartment structure cabin module. The three cabin modules can be combined into a variety of standard vehicle frame models through the combination of different modules to simulate the interior space of the whole vehicle cabin of various models; each cabin module is provided with a cabin door, an odor detection port and a cabin connection port, the cabin door is used to deliver the automobile parts assembly involving odor or VOC that needs to be installed; the odor detection port is used to collect the gas in the cabin and the detection port is equipped with a detection port cover for sealing; the cabin connection port is used to connect the cabin modules to each other; an installation structure is provided in the cabin module, which is used to install the automobile parts assembly involving odor or VOC that needs to be matched with the corresponding cabin module.
[0008] The standard vehicle framework model includes hatchbacks and sedans, and various types of vehicles include sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
[0009] The luggage compartment structural compartment module is divided into two types, Type I and Type II, which correspond to hatchback models and sedan models respectively according to size and space.
[0010] The passenger structure cabin module has a top hanging system for fixing sun visors, interior rearview mirrors, ceilings, skylights and other components; there are also side wall hooks for fixing sealing strips, pillars, door panels and other components; there are also bottom mounting points for fixing carpets, seats and other components.
[0011] The luggage compartment structural compartment module has side wall hooks for fixing the luggage compartment carpet, luggage compartment side carpet, luggage compartment tool box, etc., and bottom mounting points for fixing luggage compartment carpet, spare tire and other parts.
[0012] The cabin module has side wall hooks inside the cabin body for fixing cabin sound insulation cotton, etc.; there are also bottom mounting points for fixing corresponding parts.
[0013] The bottom of the cabin module, the passenger structure cabin module and the luggage compartment structure cabin module are provided with movable pulleys.
[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting the air quality in a vehicle, using the above-mentioned vehicle interior air quality detection cabin, the method comprising:
[0015] The automobile parts assemblies involving odor or VOC are installed in the corresponding positions of their respective cabin modules, and the passenger structural cabin module, the luggage compartment structural cabin module, and the cabin module structural cabin are combined together to simulate a complete vehicle.
[0016] The assembled cabin modules are placed as a whole in a standard environmental chamber for the whole vehicle, and gas is extracted from each cabin module using professional equipment.
[0017] The gases extracted from the corresponding cabin modules are placed in standard odor bags in turn to evaluate the odor of the entire vehicle.
[0018] The gases extracted from the corresponding cabin modules are placed in the VOC sampling tube in turn to conduct VOC substance analysis on the entire vehicle.
[0019] If the odor evaluation of the whole vehicle extract shows an odor that does not meet the requirements, the components in the whole vehicle can be placed in different cabin modules as described above in turn, the odor of each component can be detected in batches, and the odor of each component can be compared with the odor of the whole vehicle to obtain the similarity between the odor of each component and the odor of the whole vehicle, so as to quickly and efficiently lock in the target component.
[0020] If there are abnormalities in the numerical indicators of some VOC substances extracted from the whole vehicle, the parts in the whole vehicle can be placed in different whole vehicle odors as described above in turn, and the values of corresponding substances in the VOC of each part can be tested in batches, and compared with the test values of the whole vehicle, so as to quickly and efficiently lock in the target parts.
[0021] As can be seen from the above scheme, the present invention adopts a new modular structural cabin combination design. Various structural cabins can simulate the interior space of the whole vehicle cabin of sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks through the combination of different modules. The corresponding various parts of the whole vehicle are assembled into the corresponding module cabin to assemble a vehicle model that can simulate and replace the real vehicle, thereby realizing the test that can be used to replace the real vehicle and quickly and efficiently conduct the whole vehicle odor / VOC test and odor source identification test, which has obvious advantages in reducing test vehicle resources (low carbon energy saving) and reducing the test cycle (improving efficiency). The different combination forms of the three types of cabins can simulate two-box / three-box fuel vehicles and two-box / three-box electric vehicles, respectively, and have the characteristics of high efficiency, convenience, and flexibility. At the same time, the present invention combines the odor intensity and odor comfort, and provides a new comprehensive evaluation method for the odor of the whole vehicle after integrating the two technical dimensions to improve the evaluation accuracy of the sensory quality of the odor of the whole vehicle.
