Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of analysis and testing technology of door closing ear pressure, and is an analytical method for analyzing the influence of changes in passenger cabin volume on door closing ear pressure. Background Technology

[0002] Door closing ear pressure refers to the pressure near the ear of an occupant in the passenger compartment during the door closing process. Sudden pressure changes act on the eardrum; excessive pressure changes can deform the eardrum, causing discomfort. Door closing ear pressure is an important indicator of overall vehicle quality, and reasonable ear pressure design is crucial for high-quality vehicles. Door closing ear pressure is affected by multiple parameters, including closing speed, door area, pressure relief valve area, airtightness, and overall vehicle volume. These parameters are also related to vehicle air conditioning performance, NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance, requiring multi-parameter, multi-objective design. This technology calculates door closing ear pressure values ​​using simulation methods and combines them with a parameterized passenger compartment volume model to study the impact of passenger compartment volume on ear pressure. This invention uses model deformation to change the passenger compartment volume, combined with door closing ear pressure simulation methods, to study the relationship between door closing ear pressure and passenger compartment volume. It is highly efficient and low-cost, providing technical support for vehicle door closing ear pressure design and improving overall vehicle performance.

[0003] Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) is an abbreviation for the same term. It's a comprehensive measure of automotive manufacturing quality, directly impacting the user's experience. NVH is a major concern for international automotive manufacturers and parts suppliers. Statistics show that approximately one-third of vehicle malfunctions are related to NVH issues, and companies allocate nearly 20% of their R&D budget to addressing these problems.

[0004] NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) is the most direct aspect of a car's performance for customers, and major companies are increasingly focusing on vibration and noise levels in vehicle development. To improve the NVH experience, more and more dynamic vibration absorbers are being used in various automotive components, such as the powertrain, subframe, rear axle, drive shaft, and transmission shaft, to reduce vibration and noise. When vibration and noise problems arise during the development of a new vehicle model, changing component designs to solve NVH issues is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, slowing down the development cycle, but the new designs may also introduce new vibration and noise problems. In such cases, the application of dynamic vibration absorbers can not only quickly solve the problem but also minimize changes to the original design, reducing development time and costs.

[0005] The study of NVH characteristics is not only applicable to the development process of new automotive products, but also to the research on improving the ride comfort of existing models. This involves modeling and analyzing a specific system or assembly of a vehicle to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on ride comfort, and improving ride comfort by improving the vibration conditions of the excitation source (amplitude reduction or frequency shifting) or controlling the transmission of vibration noise from the excitation source to the vehicle interior. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides an analytical method for the influence of changes in the passenger cabin volume on the door closing ear pressure.

[0007] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0008] This invention provides an analytical method for the effect of changes in passenger compartment volume on door closing ear pressure, and the invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An analytical method for analyzing the effect of changes in crew cabin volume on door closing ear pressure, the method comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Process the vehicle and door data to create a simulated passenger compartment model and door surface mesh model based on the car's ear pressure.

[0011] Step 2: Construct a hemisphere with a diameter of 8m and the whole vehicle to form a closed fluid flow domain, which serves as the main fluid domain for ear pressure simulation; construct a cuboid 10cm away from the outline of the car door, and wrap the car door inside the cuboid to form a closed cavity, which serves as the door fluid domain for ear pressure simulation.

[0012] Step 3: Obtain the door closing position during the test, and obtain the door pivot data through the hinge. Then, rotate the door fluid domain mesh around the hinge pivot to the door closing position during the test.

[0013] Step 4: Export the processed mesh separately and import it into the fluid dynamics software to define different fluid domains, thus determining the overall vehicle fluid domain and the door fluid domain;

[0014] Step 5: Create a 3D mesh, set the volume mesh generation scale and type, and generate the volume mesh for the entire vehicle and door areas;

[0015] Step 6: Create a rotating model of the car door and an overlapping mesh model;

[0016] Step 7: Obtain the test door closing speed curve and convert it into a table file format that can be read by fluid software. Read the file into the calculation model and associate it with the rotation speed of the door area.

[0017] Step 8: The position of the driver's inner and outer ear and the right rear passenger's inner and outer ear in the inner and outer ear of the driver's inner and outer ear is set as the ear pressure calculation and monitoring point. The large eddy simulation model is used to calculate the ear pressure when the door is closed, and the simulation results of the ear pressure at the initial measurement point are obtained.

[0019] Step 10: Compare the simulation results with the experimental results for each working condition. The adjustable parameters in the simulation include the through area of ​​the fluid channel and the resistance characteristics of the fluid channel. The simulation accuracy for each working condition meets ±10%.

[0020] Step 11: Use the morph function to establish the deformation control region of the passenger compartment model door closing ear pressure simulation model, import the whole vehicle domain mesh into the software with deformation function, and establish a deformation control body with the whole vehicle as the object. The deformation body should include all the whole vehicle data, and add the whole vehicle to the deformation control body for volume control.

[0021] Step 12: Select the deformed section and extract the area of ​​the deformed section;

[0022] Step 13: Use morph to establish deformable body control parameters, with the control body being the deformable parameters and the normal of the deformable cross section being the deformable direction. Establish the deformable parameter L to enable rapid changes in multiple parameter values. The volume change of the acoustic cavity is: deformable cross section area S * deformable parameter L. Changing the value of the deformable parameter L changes the volume of the crew cabin, and the changed acoustic cavity volume is output.

[0023] Step 14: Control the passenger compartment volume by using the morph deformation control parameters and the deformation cross-sectional area, and calculate the door closing pressure of the passenger compartment volume after deformation; process the data of different passenger compartment volumes and door closing pressures to identify the influence of passenger compartment volume on door closing pressure.

The fluid path is: door - passenger compartment - cladding through-hole - sheet metal through-hole - pressure relief valve - pressure relief valve and rear bumper space - exterior space. The door mesh will feature detailed modeling of the door edges and sealing strips, while other parts will be modeled more simply. The completed mesh model must meet the requirements for fluid calculation.

[0133] Step 2: Construct a hemisphere with a diameter of 8m and the whole vehicle to form a closed fluid flow domain, which serves as the main fluid domain for ear pressure simulation; construct a cuboid 10cm away from the outline of the car door, and wrap the car door inside the cuboid to form a closed cavity, which serves as the door fluid domain for ear pressure simulation.

[0134] Step 3: Obtain the door closing position during the test, and obtain the door pivot data through the hinge. Then, rotate the door fluid domain mesh around the hinge pivot to the door closing position during the test.

[0135] Step 4: Export the processed mesh separately, import them into the fluid dynamics software, define them as different fluid domains, and name them as the whole vehicle fluid domain and the door fluid domain.

[0136] Step 5: Establish a volumetric mesh. The space mesh type for the entire vehicle area is a cut volumetric mesh. Boundary layer meshes are set on the walls. The mesh densification areas are the door frames, wrap rack through holes, sheet metal through holes, and pressure relief valve locations. The mesh size is 1-2mm, 4-32mm for other areas of the entire vehicle, and -32 to 512mm for the hemispherical space area. The mesh type for the door area is the same as that for the entire vehicle area. The mesh size for the door edge is 1-2mm, and 4-8mm for other areas.

[0137] Step Six: Setting up and establishing the overlapping mesh model. The overlapping mesh, also known as a nested mesh, is composed of background and component meshes overlapping each other. Each mesh region overlaps spatially but is not connected; they exist independently. The fluid control equations are solved on both the background and component meshes. Interpolation elements constitute internal boundary conditions to transmit data, ultimately obtaining the flow field information within the entire computational domain. In this model, the entire vehicle region is set as the background mesh, and the door mesh region is set as the component mesh. The movement of the door mesh region is set to rotation, with the rotation axis being the door's rotation axis, and the rotation speed being input from a table. The overlapping mesh model uses distance-weighted mesh interpolation.

[0138] Step 7: Obtain the test door closing speed curve and convert it into a table file format that can be read by fluid software. Read this file into the calculation model and associate it with the rotation speed of the door area.

[0139] Step 8: The position of the driver's inner and outer ear and the right rear passenger's inner and outer ear in the inner and outer ear of the driver's inner and outer ear is set as the ear pressure calculation and monitoring point. The large eddy simulation (LES) model is used to calculate the ear pressure when the door is closed to obtain the simulation results of the ear pressure at the initial measurement point.

[0140] Step Nine: Improve simulation accuracy through experimental verification. The experimental equipment includes an ear pressure testing system and a gate speed meter. The ear pressure testing system consists of a high-speed data...

[0141] Acquisition system (measurement accuracy: ±0.01%, single-channel sampling frequency: 500KHz), micro-pressure sensor (measurement accuracy: ±0.5%, measurement range: -500Pa~500Pa)

[0142] The system consists of a sampling frequency of 1 kHz and a calibrator. Multiple sets of through-ear pressure tests are conducted by changing the area of ​​the pressure relief valve and the test speed. Simulations of the corresponding operating conditions are then performed to obtain comparative simulation test data.

[0143] Step 10: Adjust simulation parameters and perform simulation calculations. Compare the simulation results with the experimental results for each working condition. Adjustable parameters in the simulation include the through-hole area of ​​the fluid channel and the resistance characteristics of the fluid channel. If the simulation accuracy for each working condition meets ±10%, proceed to the next step.

[0144] Step 11: Import the whole vehicle domain mesh into software with deformation capabilities, and create a deformation control body with the whole vehicle as the object. The deformation body should include all the whole vehicle data, and add the whole vehicle to the deformation control body for volume control.

[0145] Step 12: Select the deformation section and extract its area. Choose a section with a large cross-sectional area and a flat front-to-back surface. Generally, this is located between the rear of the front seat and the rear seat. After selecting the location: ① Create a local deformation control volume at this location. ② Obtain the cross-sectional area at this location. First, import the processed vehicle model data. Use the plane creation function to create an X-plane. This plane is larger than the vehicle's outline at this location in all three X, Y, and Z directions. Then, intersect this plane with the vehicle's surface to obtain the vehicle's inner contour surface. The area of ​​this contour surface is the volumetric deformation cross-sectional area S.

[0146] Step 13: Establish deformable body control parameters. First, define the local control volume as the deformable parameter, the normal of the deformable section as the deformable direction, and establish the deformable parameter L. This allows for rapid changes in multiple parameter values. The volume change of the acoustic cavity is: deformable section area S * deformable parameter L. Changing the value of the deformable parameter L changes the volume of the crew cabin, and the changed acoustic cavity volume is output.

[0147] Step Fourteen: Import the deformed volume into the calculation software and perform deformation ear pressure calculation. Calculate the door closing ear pressure of the deformed passenger compartment volume under different working conditions, output the ear pressure measurement data, classify the door closing ear pressure data according to passenger compartment volume and different working conditions, and perform correlation analysis through data statistical methods to complete the influence analysis of passenger compartment volume on door closing ear pressure;
