[0038] This application provides a method for optimizing the vibration of an automotive horn assembly. By acquiring the vibration acceleration and frequency information of the steering wheel corresponding to the horn assembly during sound production in the target vehicle, and the sound production frequency information of the horn assembly, it is determined whether the horn assembly causes significant vibration of the vehicle's steering wheel during sound production. Based on the comparison results, the horn bracket and / or the horn's sound production power are adjusted to improve the NVH characteristics of the vehicle when the horn is working, thereby enhancing the user experience.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus. The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 The above is a schematic flowchart of a vibration optimization method for an automobile horn assembly provided in an embodiment of this application, which may include: S110-S130.

[0041] S110. When the horn assembly of the target car emits sound, obtain the vibration acceleration information and vibration frequency information corresponding to the steering wheel of the target car.

[0042] For example, during the vibration optimization of a car horn assembly, technicians manually or automatically control the target car horn assembly to produce sound. At this time, the vibration acceleration and frequency information of the target car's steering wheel are acquired. The vibration acceleration and frequency information of the steering wheel can be obtained through vibration sensors during the sound production process of the car horn assembly. The vibration data is then processed and analyzed to obtain the vibration acceleration and frequency information.

[0043] S120. Obtain the sound frequency of the above-mentioned speaker assembly;

[0044] For example, the sound frequency of the speaker assembly can also be obtained by processing data obtained from vibration sensors or microphones.

[0045] S130. Based on the above vibration acceleration information, the above vibration frequency information, the vibration acceleration threshold and the above sound frequency, execute the horn bracket adjustment strategy and / or the horn sound power adjustment strategy to reduce the steering wheel vibration caused when the above horn assembly emits sound.

[0046] For example, the vibration acceleration information is compared with the vibration acceleration threshold, and the vibration frequency information is compared with the sound frequency information to determine whether the horn assembly causes significant vibration in the vehicle's steering wheel during operation. Based on the comparison results, a horn bracket adjustment strategy and / or a horn sound power adjustment strategy are selected to reduce the steering wheel vibration caused by the horn assembly's sound output, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In summary, the vibration optimization method for automotive horn components provided in this application obtains the vibration acceleration and frequency information of the steering wheel corresponding to the horn component during sound production, as well as the sound production frequency information of the horn component, to determine whether the horn component causes significant vibration of the vehicle's steering wheel during sound production. Based on the comparison results, the horn bracket and / or horn sound production power are adjusted to improve the NVH characteristics of the vehicle when the horn is working and enhance the user experience.

[0048] In some examples, the above-mentioned horn bracket adjustment strategy includes a horn bracket mounting point adjustment strategy, which is used to select a mounting point with greater dynamic stiffness.

[0049] The above-mentioned implementation of the speaker bracket adjustment strategy and / or speaker power adjustment strategy based on the above-mentioned vibration acceleration information, vibration frequency information, vibration acceleration threshold, and sound emission frequency includes:

[0050] If the vibration acceleration information is greater than the vibration acceleration threshold and / or the difference between the vibration frequency information and the sound frequency is less than a preset difference, the above-mentioned speaker bracket mounting point adjustment strategy is executed.

[0051] For example, if the vibration acceleration information of the steering wheel is greater than the vibration acceleration threshold, or if the vibration frequency is close to the sound frequency (i.e., the difference is less than a preset difference), then it is considered that the horn assembly is causing significant vibration in the steering wheel. In this case, a horn bracket mounting point adjustment strategy is implemented to eliminate the vibration transmitted from the horn assembly to the steering wheel. It should be noted that the vibration acceleration threshold is the maximum vibration acceleration of the steering wheel that the vehicle design assumes will not affect the user's use of the steering wheel during driving. Specifically, the horn bracket mounting point can be measured by testing the dynamic stiffness of the mounting point and selecting a mounting point with higher dynamic stiffness. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the steering wheel vibration acceleration before optimization. Figure 3 The image shows a comparison of vibration acceleration before and after adopting the horn bracket adjustment strategy. It can be seen that the horn bracket adjustment strategy can effectively reduce the acceleration of the steering wheel.

[0052] In some examples, the above-mentioned horn bracket adjustment strategy also includes a horn bracket modal adjustment strategy, which is used to improve the vibration isolation rate of the horn bracket.

[0053] The above methods also include:

[0054] If the dynamic acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold after the above-mentioned horn bracket mounting point adjustment strategy is implemented, the above-mentioned horn bracket modal adjustment strategy is implemented.

[0055] For example, after adjusting the horn bracket mounting point, the acceleration information of the steering wheel during the operation of the horn assembly is measured again. If the acceleration information is less than or equal to the vibration acceleration threshold, the vibration optimization operation can be completed. If the acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold, the horn bracket modal adjustment strategy is executed to change the vibration mode between the horn bracket and the horn, improve the vibration isolation rate of the horn bracket, and reduce the vibration of the steering wheel. Figure 4 The image shows a comparison of vibration acceleration before and after adopting the horn bracket modal adjustment strategy. It can be seen that the horn bracket modal adjustment strategy can effectively reduce the acceleration of the steering wheel.

[0056] In some examples, the above-mentioned horn bracket modal adjustment strategy includes at least one of the following adjustment methods: reducing the thickness of the horn bracket, increasing the length of the horn bracket, and replacing a thicker horn bracket with multiple thinner horn brackets that are overlapped.

[0057] For example, horn bracket modal adjustment strategies include: reducing the thickness of the horn bracket to lower its modal characteristics, increasing the length of the horn bracket to lower its modal characteristics, and replacing a thicker horn bracket with two thinner horn brackets installed overlapping each other. The purpose of these horn bracket modal adjustment strategies is to improve the vibration isolation rate of the horn bracket.

[0058] In some examples, the above-mentioned horn bracket adjustment strategy also includes a horn bracket mounting method adjustment strategy, which is used to reduce the overall vibration transmission rate of the horn bracket.

[0059] The above methods also include:

[0060] If the dynamic acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold after the above-mentioned horn bracket modal adjustment strategy is implemented, the horn bracket installation method adjustment strategy is implemented.

[0061] For example, after implementing the horn bracket modal adjustment strategy, the acceleration information of the steering wheel during the operation of the horn assembly is measured again. If the acceleration information is less than or equal to the vibration acceleration threshold, the vibration optimization operation can be completed. If the acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold, the horn bracket installation method adjustment strategy is executed to reduce the overall vibration transmission rate of the horn bracket, thereby reducing the vibration of the steering wheel. Figure 5 The image shows a comparison of vibration acceleration before and after the horn bracket mounting method adjustment strategy. It can be seen that the horn bracket mounting method adjustment strategy can effectively reduce the acceleration of the steering wheel.

[0062] In some examples, the above-mentioned speaker bracket mounting adjustment strategy includes mounting the tweeter and woofer using their own separate brackets.

[0063] For example, a speaker assembly includes two speakers, a high-frequency speaker and a low-frequency speaker, which are typically connected by a common bracket. When implementing a speaker bracket mounting method adjustment strategy, the high-frequency speakers are mounted on their own independent brackets instead of the common bracket. The purpose of this strategy is to reduce the overall vibration transmission rate of the speaker bracket.

[0064] In some examples, the above-mentioned horn bracket adjustment strategy also includes a horn bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy, which is used to improve the bushing vibration isolation rate.

[0065] The above methods also include:

[0066] If the dynamic acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold after the above bracket installation method adjustment strategy is implemented, the horn bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy is implemented.

[0067] For example, after adjusting the bracket installation method, the acceleration information of the steering wheel during the operation of the horn assembly is measured again. If the acceleration information is less than or equal to the vibration acceleration threshold, the vibration optimization operation can be completed. If the acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold, the vibration isolation adjustment strategy of the horn bracket bushing is executed to improve the vibration isolation rate of the horn bracket and hinder the transmission of horn vibration. During the adjustment process, the vibration isolation rate of the horn bracket bushing can be increased by a preset vibration isolation rate threshold, which can be set to 1dB to 20dB. Figure 6 The image shows a comparison of vibration acceleration before and after the adoption of the horn bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy. It can be seen that the horn bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy can effectively reduce the acceleration of the steering wheel.

[0068] In some examples, the aforementioned bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy includes reducing the stiffness of the horn bracket bushing.

[0069] In some examples, the above-mentioned speaker power adjustment strategies include reducing the power supply voltage of the woofer and / or reducing the power supply voltage of the tweeter;

[0070] The above methods also include:

[0071] If the dynamic acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold after the above-mentioned support bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy is implemented, the above-mentioned speaker power adjustment strategy is implemented.

[0072] For example, after implementing the bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy, the acceleration information of the steering wheel during the operation of the horn assembly is measured again. If the acceleration information is less than or equal to the vibration acceleration threshold, the vibration optimization operation can be completed. If the acceleration information is still greater than the vibration acceleration threshold, the horn sound power adjustment strategy is executed. The horn sound power is reduced by lowering the horn supply voltage to reduce vibration excitation. The supply voltage of a single horn can be reduced or the supply voltage of two horns can be reduced simultaneously. Figure 7 The image shows a comparison of vibration acceleration before and after implementing the horn power adjustment strategy. It can be seen that the horn power adjustment strategy can effectively reduce the acceleration of the steering wheel.

[0073] In some examples, the vibration acceleration and vibration frequency information corresponding to the steering wheel are obtained from a vibration sensor installed on the steering wheel, and the sound emission frequency of the horn assembly is obtained from a vibration sensor installed on the horn bracket and a microphone installed in the vehicle.

[0074] For example, a steering wheel vibration measurement and horn assembly vibration measurement process can be conducted using a steering wheel vibration testing and diagnostic system caused by a car horn. This system includes: a target car with matched high and low frequency horns; a vibration acceleration sensor installed at the "12" o'clock position on the steering wheel; a vibration acceleration sensor installed on the horn bracket mounting point; and a microphone positioned near the driver's right ear. The vibration acceleration sensors and microphone are connected to a vibration and noise data acquisition front-end via cables. This front-end is connected to a computer, forming a steering wheel vibration testing system caused by a car horn. This system can simultaneously adjust the steering wheel vibration suppression strategy and collect steering wheel vibration signals and horn bracket vibration signals under different adjustment strategies. The peak frequency of the horn bracket vibration signal is the horn's emitting frequency.

[0075] In summary, the vibration optimization method for an automotive horn assembly provided in this application can determine the vibration acceleration of the steering wheel based on the vibration acceleration. When the vibration acceleration value of the steering wheel is too large, optimization can be achieved through five methods: horn mounting point adjustment strategy, horn bracket modal adjustment strategy, horn bracket mounting method adjustment strategy, horn bracket bushing vibration isolation adjustment strategy, and horn sound power adjustment strategy. Furthermore, this optimization scheme can also be used to gradually select the corresponding adjustment method based on the magnitude of the accelerating vibration value. Therefore, the optimization method provided in this embodiment not only solves the steering wheel problem caused by the automotive horn but also has the advantage of high optimization efficiency.
