Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Based on the structural characteristics of the seat belt retractor, the sensitive components must have a movable ball to meet the safety function of the product. The movable ball is the main noise source of the seat belt retractor abnormal sound. When the seat belt retractor is excited, the movable ball will inevitably produce noise in its structure. When the generated noise is large, it will directly reduce the comfort of the vehicle occupants. Therefore, it is necessary to test the seat belt retractor abnormal sound.

[0003] In the traditional method, whether the seat belt retractor has abnormal sound is tested on a vibration bench in an anechoic chamber environment. The seat belt retractor noise cannot exceed a certain decibel under certain excitation as a reference. Since the seat belt retractor is installed on both sides of the vehicle, the main excitation is the vibration generated by the Z-direction excitation and the rotation around the X-axis. The traditional vibration table is a single-degree-of-freedom excitation in the Z-direction, which cannot well simulate the vibration under the whole vehicle state, resulting in low accuracy of the seat belt retractor abnormal sound test.

[0004] In addition, the vibration bench for testing the seat belt retractor is in an anechoic chamber environment, and the weight of high-frequency components is low, which cannot affect the size of the overall sound pressure level. The noise range of the movable ball is in the high-frequency band, so the traditional method cannot identify the true noise level of the movable ball in its mechanism, further reducing the accuracy of the seat belt retractor abnormal sound test.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of the seat belt retractor abnormal sound test has become a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] In order to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the following specific embodiments are described.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 The test device provided by the embodiment one of the present application is a safety belt retractor abnormal sound test device, which comprises a support rack 1, two elastic structural members 2, a vibration table surface 3 and a bushing 4.

[0039] The two elastic structural members 2 are respectively fixed on the corresponding support portions of the support rack 1, the bushing 4 is fixed on the elastic structural member 2 of the preset portion, one end of the vibration table surface 3 is fixed on the elastic structural member 2 of the preset portion through the bushing 4, the other end of the vibration table surface 3 is fixed on the elastic structural member 2 of the remaining portion, the vibration table surface 3 is used for vertical vibration under the excitation of the excitation source when the safety belt retractor is tested for abnormal sound, and axial rotation around the bushing 4 to simulate horizontal vibration.

[0040] Specifically, the elastic structure 2 is arranged between the support frame 1 and the vibration table 3, and is used to reduce the influence of external vibrations other than the excitation source on the vibration table 3 during the simulation of vibration, so as to improve the accuracy of the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor. One end of the vibration table 3 is fixed on the elastic structure 2 of the preset part through the bushing 4. When the vibration table 3 is excited by the excitation source, the one end of the vibration table 3 rotates axially around the bushing 4, simulating the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis. The other end of the vibration table 3 is fixed on the elastic structure 2 of the remaining part. When the vibration table 3 is excited by the excitation source, the other end of the vibration table 3 performs vertical vibration, simulating the Z excitation of the seat belt retractor. Therefore, the vibration table 3 can simultaneously simulate the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis and the Z excitation, that is, the main vibration of the seat belt retractor in the whole vehicle state, so as to improve the rationality and accuracy of the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor.

[0041] In an example, the elastic structure 2 is an air spring. Since the vibration isolation performance of the air spring is better than that of the rigid spring, the influence of external vibrations other than the excitation source on the vibration platform can be more effectively reduced. At the same time, the lateral stiffness of the air spring is higher than that of the rigid spring, so that the horizontal translation of the vibration platform can be better controlled, thereby realizing the rotation of the vibration platform around the bushing 4, simulating the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis, and effectively improving the rationality and accuracy of the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor.

[0042] In an example, the number of elastic structures 2 can be 2, 3, 4 or 5, etc. Each elastic structure 2 is arranged on the corresponding support part. The number of bushings 4 can be 1, 2, 3 or 4, etc., and each bushing 4 is fixed on the elastic structure 2 of the preset part.

[0043] In an example, the test device is arranged in a soundproof environment to avoid the interference of other noises in the environment on the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor.

[0044] The schematic view of the bushing 4 is shown in Figure 2 The bushing 4 includes a central shaft 41 and a bushing shell 42.

[0045] The central shaft 41 is arranged inside the bushing shell 42, and the central shaft 41 is connected to the bushing shell 42 through rubber. Since the rubber has a certain deformation amount, the central shaft 41 and the bushing shell 42 can move relative to the axis. Specifically, when the central shaft 41 is fixed, the bushing shell 42 can move around the axis, and when the bushing shell 42 is fixed, the central shaft 41 can move around the axis.

[0046] Meanwhile, the sleeve shell 42 is rigidly connected to the elastic structural member 2 of the preset part, and the end of the central shaft 41 is rigidly connected to the vibration platform 3, so that when the central shaft 41 and the sleeve shell 42 move relatively around the axis, the vibration platform 3 can rotate around the sleeve 4 and transmit the generated vibration to the vibration platform 3, thereby simulating the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis. Meanwhile, the central shaft 41 is connected to the elastic structural member 2 of the remaining part through the connecting rod, so as to increase the rigidity of the fixed connection, improve the stability of the testing device, and reduce the influence of the deformation of the device structure on the test results.

[0047] It should be noted that, since the vibration platform 3 moves around the axis with a small amplitude, the movement can be regarded as the translation of the vibration platform 3 in the horizontal direction.

[0048] The embodiment can reduce the influence of other external vibrations on the vibration platform except the excitation source by arranging the elastic structural member 2 between the support rack 1 and the vibration platform, and can simultaneously simulate the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis and the Z direction excitation by fixing one end of the vibration platform 3 to the elastic structural member 2 of the preset part through the sleeve 4 and fixing the other end of the vibration platform 3 to the elastic structural member 2 of the remaining part, so as to more truly simulate the vibration of the seat belt retractor under the whole vehicle state. Meanwhile, the sleeve shell 42 is rigidly connected to the elastic structural member 2 of the preset part, and the end of the central shaft 41 is rigidly connected to the vibration platform 3, so that when the central shaft 41 and the sleeve shell 42 move relatively around the axis, the vibration platform 3 can rotate around the sleeve 4 and transmit the generated vibration to the vibration platform 3, thereby simulating the vibration generated by the rotation of the seat belt retractor around the X axis. Meanwhile, the central shaft 41 is connected to the elastic structural member 2 of the remaining part through the connecting rod, so as to increase the rigidity of the fixed connection, improve the stability of the testing device, and improve the rationality and accuracy of the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 , the embodiment two of the present application provides a seat belt retractor abnormal sound testing device, which is different from the device in the embodiment one in that:

[0050] The device comprises a support rack composed of a rack mounting surface 11 and five support parts 12, four elastic structural members 2, a vibration platform 3, two sleeves 4, an excitation vibrator 5 and a radio device 6.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 , the five support parts 12 are fixed on the rack mounting surface 11, of which three support parts are arranged in a row and fixed on one end of the rack mounting surface 11, and two support parts are arranged in a row and fixed on the other end of the rack mounting surface 11.

[0052] The mounting surface 11 is primarily designed to provide a secure mounting surface for the testing equipment. For example, the mounting surface 11 can be a metal floor or other flat and firmly fixed ground. The support frame 1 includes five support sections, and four elastic structural members 2 are respectively fixed to the support sections located at the four corners of the mounting surface 11.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, two bushings 4 are fixed to two support parts arranged in a row. As another embodiment, a single bushing 4 can also be used. For example, a bushing 4 can be provided on the right elastic structure 2, and the upper end of the left elastic structure 2 can be movably connected to the vibration table 3. The relative motion between the central shaft 41 in the bushing 4 and the bushing shell 42 around the axis allows the vibration table 3 to rotate around the bushing 4, thereby simulating the vibration generated by the seat belt retractor rotating around the X-axis.

[0054] In one example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the exciter 5 is fixed on the support located in the middle position of the three supports arranged in a row. The exciter 5 is the main excitation of the entire test device. When the exciter 5 provides excitation to the vibration table 3, the vibration table 3 can simultaneously simulate the vibration generated by the seat belt retractor rotating around the X-axis and the Z-axis excitation.

[0055] During the operation of the vibrator 5, the vibration intensity of the vibration table 3 can be controlled by adjusting the operating frequency and excitation force of the vibrator 5. The operating frequency range of the vibrator 5 is [0, 3000] Hz, and the excitation force range is [0, 110] kN.

[0056] In one example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sound receiving device 6 is fixed on the mounting surface 11 of the platform. In order to improve the sound receiving effect of the sound receiving device 6, the sound receiving device is suspended above the vibration table 3 so as to better collect the sound signal of the seat belt retractor during the operation of the vibrator, and to determine the abnormal noise test results of the seat belt retractor.

[0057] In this embodiment, the testing device is fixed to the mounting surface 11 of the test stand by four equally spaced support parts, providing a solid mounting surface for the testing device and improving its tightness. The exciter 5 of one support part provides excitation to the vibration table 3 to generate vibration and provides a controllable vibration intensity for the vibration table 3. The sound signal of the seat belt retractor is collected by the sound receiving device 6 to determine the abnormal noise test result of the seat belt retractor based on the sound signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the abnormal noise test of the seat belt retractor.

[0058] In other embodiments, the vibrator 5 can be placed in one of the four support sections, instead of having a separate support section for the vibrator 5; it is also possible to... Figure 4Three support parts in the support part are combined into one support part, the left end of the support part is connected with one elastic structure 2, the right end of the support part is connected with another elastic structure 2, and the middle of the support part is placed with a vibration exciter 5.

[0059] On the basis of the above-mentioned test device embodiment, the safety belt retractor abnormal sound test method provided by the third embodiment of the present application can be applied in the application environment of Figure 6 The client and the server communicate with each other. The client includes, but is not limited to, a palm computer, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cloud computer device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. The server can be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0060] On the basis of the above-mentioned test device embodiment, the test method can be applied to Figure 7 the client in the application environment, and the test method can include the following steps.

[0061] In step S301, an excitation signal is input to make the safety belt retractor generate vertical vibration and horizontal vibration, and noise signals of the safety belt retractor are collected.

[0062] The excitation signal is generated by an excitation source and is used to make the safety belt retractor generate vertical vibration and horizontal vibration to simultaneously simulate Z-direction excitation of the safety belt retractor and vibration generated by rotation around the X axis, and noise signals of the safety belt retractor are collected to perform abnormal sound test of the safety belt retractor.

[0063] Optionally, the noise signals of the safety belt retractor are collected, including:

[0064] After the excitation signal is input to the vibration exciter for a first preset time, noise signals of the safety belt retractor for a second preset time are collected by a radio device.

[0065] When the abnormal sound test of the safety belt retractor is performed, the noise signals of the safety belt retractor are collected when the vibration exciter works stably in this embodiment, so as to improve the accuracy of the test result. Therefore, after the excitation signal is input to the vibration exciter for a first preset time, the noise signals of the safety belt retractor are collected by the radio device, so as to ensure the stability of the collected noise signals. The first preset time can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the first preset time is 10 seconds.

[0066] Meanwhile, the embodiment sets the radio device to collect the noise signal of the seat belt retractor in the second preset time, so as to reduce the data processing difficulty of the noise signal and improve the work efficiency on the premise of ensuring that the effective noise signal is collected. The second preset time can be set according to the actual situation, for example, the second preset time is 20 seconds.

[0067] In step S302, the noise signal is processed to obtain a high-frequency noise signal.

[0068] The noise signal includes a low-frequency signal and a high-frequency signal, and the noise range of the movable ball of the seat belt retractor is in the high-frequency band. Therefore, the collected noise signal is processed to obtain a high-frequency noise signal to represent the noise of the seat belt retractor, so as to reduce the interference of the low-frequency noise signal and improve the abnormal sound test accuracy of the seat belt retractor.

[0069] In the embodiment, the collected noise signal is processed by a band-pass filter to filter the low-frequency signal and retain the high-frequency signal to obtain a high-frequency noise signal. The start frequency and the cutoff frequency of the band-pass filter can be set according to the actual situation. In the embodiment, the start frequency is set to 1000 Hz and the cutoff frequency is set to 12600 Hz, so the high-frequency noise signal is the noise signal with a frequency in the range of [1000, 12600] Hz.

[0070] In step S303, the noise sound pressure value is calculated according to the high-frequency noise signal, and the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value.

[0071] In order to perform the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor, the high-frequency noise signal needs to be converted into a decibel value, and the decibel value is used for the abnormal sound test, so as to reduce the test difficulty, improve the test efficiency and improve the accuracy of the test result.

[0072] Specifically, in the embodiment, the noise sound pressure value is first calculated according to the high-frequency noise signal, and then the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value as the basis for the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor.

[0073] Optionally, the noise sound pressure value is calculated according to the high-frequency noise signal, including:

[0074] The sound pressure amplitude of the high-frequency noise signal at the start frequency and the sound pressure amplitude at the cutoff frequency, and the sound pressure amplitude at each of the other frequencies are determined according to the high-frequency noise signal.

[0075] The noise sound pressure value p is calculated according to each sound pressure amplitude. a

[0076]

[0077] ​wherein, α is a preset energy recovery coefficient, j is a starting frequency, k is a cutoff frequency, A i is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the i-th frequency, A j is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the starting frequency, A k is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the cutoff frequency.

[0078] wherein, first, the amplitudes of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the starting frequency and at the cutoff frequency, and at each of the other frequencies are determined according to the high-frequency noise signal, so that the noise sound pressure value p a is calculated.

[0079]

[0080] wherein, α is a preset energy recovery coefficient, j is a starting frequency, k is a cutoff frequency, A i is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the i-th frequency, A j is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the starting frequency, A k is an amplitude of the sound pressure of the high-frequency noise signal at the cutoff frequency.

[0081] In the embodiment, the starting frequency of the band-pass filter is set to j = 1000 Hz, and the cutoff frequency is set to k = 12600 Hz.

[0082] Optionally, the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value, including:

[0083] According to the conversion relationship between the sound pressure and the decibel, the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value.

[0084] wherein, the sound pressure value is converted into the decibel value according to the conversion relationship between the sound pressure and the decibel, and the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value p a .

[0085]

[0086] wherein, p a is the noise sound pressure value, p ref is a standard value of the sound pressure, in the embodiment, p ref = 2 x 10 -5 .

[0087] Step S304, determining the abnormal sound test result of the safety belt retractor according to the noise decibel.

[0088] wherein, the greater the noise decibel, the greater the noise of the safety belt retractor during the vibration process, and the smaller the noise decibel, the smaller the noise of the safety belt retractor during the vibration process.

[0089] In the embodiment, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined according to the size of the noise decibel, wherein the abnormal sound test result includes two kinds, existence of abnormal sound and non-existence of abnormal sound, therefore, the larger the noise decibel is, the greater the possibility of existence of abnormal sound of the seat belt retractor is, and when the noise decibel is greater than the preset decibel threshold, it is judged that the seat belt retractor exists abnormal sound.

[0090] Optionally, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined according to the noise decibel, including:

[0091] The noise decibel is compared with the preset decibel threshold;

[0092] If the noise decibel is less than the decibel threshold, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined as non-existence of abnormal sound;

[0093] If the noise decibel is not less than the decibel threshold, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined as existence of abnormal sound.

[0094] Wherein, the calculated noise decibel is compared with the preset decibel threshold, if the noise decibel is less than the decibel threshold, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined as non-existence of abnormal sound, if the noise decibel is not less than the decibel threshold, the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined as existence of abnormal sound, and the abnormal sound test of the seat belt retractor is completed. The preset decibel threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, and in the embodiment, the preset decibel threshold is 38 dB.

[0095] In the embodiment, the vertical vibration and the horizontal vibration of the seat belt retractor are generated by inputting the excitation signal, the noise signal of the seat belt retractor is collected, the noise signal is signal-processed to obtain the high-frequency noise signal, the noise sound pressure value is calculated according to the high-frequency noise signal, the noise decibel is calculated according to the noise sound pressure value, and finally the abnormal sound test result of the seat belt retractor is determined according to the noise decibel.
