[0046] The core of the present invention is to provide a design method for a rail vehicle body structure, which can obtain a lightweight and reliable profile body cross-sectional topology, and improve the degree of automation and work efficiency; another core of the present invention is to provide a design device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium for a rail vehicle body structure, which can obtain a lightweight and reliable profile body cross-sectional topology, and improve the degree of automation and work efficiency.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a design method for a rail vehicle body structure provided by the present invention, wherein the design method for a rail vehicle body structure is applied to a processor, comprising:

[0049] S101: Based on the finite element mesh size of the specified value, the finite element analysis method is used to calculate the profile body section topology of the rail vehicle body of the specified length under the airtight load condition, so as to obtain the conceptual design of the profile body section topology by combining the actual manufacturing process limitations of the profile and the profile body section topology;

[0050] Specifically, based on the above background technology, as modern rail transit vehicles tend to have more complex functional requirements and extreme service conditions, the lightweight design of the vehicle structure poses a more severe technical challenge. The "trial and error" iterative means of traditional simulation verification and design optimization methods such as multi-scheme comparison and size optimization are heavily dependent on the designer's own experience, and often cannot obtain the optimal solution. In addition, it is difficult to meet engineering design requirements in terms of design efficiency and lightweight performance.

[0051] Among them, topology optimization technology can design innovative configurations that are difficult to obtain with traditional concepts because it does not rely on the experience of engineers and designers. It combines new materials and new processes to maximize structural lightweighting and is widely used in high-end equipment such as aerospace and automobiles. It has been integrated into its product development process, namely the simulation-driven design method, with significant weight reduction and performance improvement effects. At present, there is a clear lack of research on topology optimization design technology for vehicle-level body structures, especially aluminum alloy profile bodies, at home and abroad.

[0052] To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional configuration of the aluminum alloy profile body under airtight load conditions, which can reflect the internal reinforcement configuration of the profile.

[0053] Specifically, taking into account the technical problems in the above background technology, and considering that it has been found through research that the cross-sectional configuration of the profile body of a rail vehicle is most sensitive to airtight load conditions, and the cross-sectional configuration of the profile body under airtight load conditions also conforms to the plane strain assumption, therefore, the cross-sectional topology analysis of a rail vehicle body of a shorter length can also achieve the same analysis effect. It is precisely because finite element analysis can be performed on a body of a shorter length, which greatly reduces the amount of calculation. Therefore, a smaller finite element grid size can be set under this favorable condition to carry out a more refined finite element analysis of the profile body cross-section, thereby obtaining a more accurate and reliable profile body cross-sectional topology. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, based on a finite element grid size of a specified value, the finite element analysis method can be used to calculate the cross-sectional topology of the profile body of a rail vehicle of a specified length under airtight load conditions, so as to obtain a conceptual design of the profile body cross-sectional topology in combination with the actual manufacturing process limitations of the profile and the cross-sectional topology of the profile body.

[0054] Among them, both the specified value and the specified length can be set independently. The specified length can be set very small, and the specified value can also be set as small as possible, so as to maximize the accuracy of the profile body section topology.

[0055] The actual manufacturing process limitations of profiles may include multiple items, such as cavity size and extrusion equipment capacity. In addition, the conceptual design may also refer to the design requirements of doors and windows / air conditioners / pantograph interfaces.

[0056] S102: Taking the minimum model mass as the optimization goal and the preset performance index as the constraint condition, the conceptual design of the profile body section topology is optimized in shape and size to obtain an engineering solution for the profile body section topology;

[0057] Wherein, the specified length is less than the overall length of the rail vehicle body.

[0058] To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the conceptual design of the aluminum alloy profile body cross-section topology.

[0059] Specifically, after having the conceptual design of the profile body section topology, since the conceptual design of the profile body section topology at this time is still relatively rough and does not have the conditions for direct engineering application, it is necessary to further optimize it using shape optimization and size optimization techniques. The optimization constraints are the preset performance indicators, and the optimization goal is to minimize the model mass. Through this optimization, an engineering solution for a lightweight and high-performance profile body section topology can be obtained.

[0060] Specifically, the design variables of the shape and size involved in the optimization may be multiple, for example, may include the inner rib angle, profile thickness, wall thickness, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that the material of the profile body in the embodiment of the present invention can be various, for example, the profile body can be made of aluminum alloy, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited here.

[0062] Among them, after the above optimization, it is expected that under the condition of 10% weight reduction, various performance optimization indicators will be improved to varying degrees, especially the first-order diamond mode frequency will be increased by more than 1Hz.

[0063] The present invention provides a design method for a rail vehicle body structure. Considering that it has been found through research that the cross-sectional configuration of a rail vehicle body is most sensitive to an airtight load condition, and the cross-sectional configuration of the profile body under the airtight load condition also conforms to the plane strain assumption, the cross-sectional topology analysis of a rail vehicle body of a shorter length can also achieve the same analysis effect. It is precisely because the analyzed body length is reduced that a smaller finite element grid size can be set to carry out a more refined finite element analysis on the profile body cross-section, thereby obtaining a more accurate and reliable profile body cross-sectional topology. Then, with the minimum model mass as the optimization goal and the preset performance index as the constraint condition, the conceptual design of the profile body cross-sectional topology is optimized in shape and size, and an engineering solution for the profile body cross-sectional topology is obtained, which further improves reliability. Moreover, since the present application is applied to a processor, the degree of automation and work efficiency are improved.

[0064] Based on the above embodiments:

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, based on the finite element mesh size of the specified value, the finite element analysis method is used to calculate the profile body section topology of the rail vehicle body of the specified length under the airtight load condition, so as to obtain the conceptual design of the profile body section topology by combining the actual manufacturing process limitation of the profile and the profile body section topology. The design method of the rail vehicle body structure also includes:

[0066] Obtain the profile body structure design space of the rail vehicle to be optimized;

[0067] In the design space of the profile body structure, with mass as a constraint and the maximum body structure stiffness as the optimization goal, the profile body section topology corresponding to various design conditions is calculated;

[0068] According to the profile car body section topology corresponding to various design conditions, the target design condition for which the profile car body section configuration of the rail vehicle to be optimized is most sensitive is determined;

[0069] If the target design condition is an airtight load condition, a step is performed in which a finite element mesh size is specified based on a specified value, and a finite element analysis method is used to calculate a profile body section topology of a rail vehicle body of a specified length under the airtight load condition.

[0070] To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional configuration of an aluminum alloy profile body under a typical design condition. Specifically, considering that the design space is a prerequisite for topological optimization, the embodiment of the present invention first obtains the design space of the profile body structure of the rail vehicle to be optimized. Then, in order to verify whether the design condition most sensitive to the profile body is an airtight load condition, the embodiment of the present invention can calculate the profile body cross-sectional topology corresponding to a plurality of design conditions within the profile body structure design space, with mass as a constraint and maximum body structure stiffness as an optimization target, and then determine the target design condition to which the profile body cross-sectional configuration of the rail vehicle to be optimized is most sensitive, thereby completing the determination of whether the target design condition most sensitive to the profile body cross-sectional configuration is an airtight load condition. Only when the verification is passed, the finite element mesh size based on the specified value will be continued to be executed, and the finite element analysis method will be used to calculate the profile body cross-sectional topology of the rail vehicle body of a specified length under the airtight load condition.

[0071] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention can further prove the rationality of "calculating the profile body cross-sectional topology of a rail vehicle body of a specified length under an airtight load condition based on a finite element grid size of a specified value using the finite element analysis method" by verifying whether "the target design condition to which the profile body cross-sectional configuration is most sensitive is an airtight load condition", and can obtain a lightweight and high-performance profile body cross-sectional topology.

[0072] Specifically, the target design condition for which the profile body section configuration of the rail vehicle to be optimized is most sensitive is determined according to the profile body section topologies corresponding to the various design conditions. Specifically, the control prompter prompts the profile body section topologies corresponding to the various design conditions, and then determines the target design condition for which the profile body section configuration of the rail vehicle to be optimized is most sensitive according to the selection designation received from the human-computer interaction device. Figure 5 Table 1 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional configuration of the aluminum alloy profile under typical design conditions. It can be seen from the figure that the cross-sectional configuration of the body is most sensitive to the airtight load condition, and the profile inner reinforcement covers the most comprehensive area. Other conditions are only sensitive to the local profile configuration. Therefore, based on the cross-sectional configuration under the airtight load condition, the fusion design of the local profile configuration under other conditions can be achieved through shape and size optimization.

[0073] Of course, in addition to this specific determination method, the most sensitive target design working condition of the profile body section configuration of the rail vehicle to be optimized may also be determined by other methods, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, within the profile body structure design space, with mass as a constraint and maximum body structure stiffness as an optimization goal, when calculating the profile body cross-section topology corresponding to a variety of design conditions, an 8-node hexahedron can be used to construct a body topology finite element model, and at the same time, topology optimization design variables, profile extrusion manufacturing constraints and material properties are set, wherein the grid size of the profile design area (side walls, roof and floor, etc.) should not be higher than 10 mm.

[0075] Specifically, the design conditions involved in "within the design space of the profile body structure, taking the mass as a constraint and maximizing the body structure stiffness as the optimization goal, calculating the profile body section topology corresponding to each of the various design conditions" can be found in Table 1 below. Table 1 is a list of core topology design conditions for the body structure. Table 1 gives the core topology design conditions for the aluminum alloy body structure of type P-II vehicles in the GB / T 33194 standard. The definitions of the mass symbols (m1, m2, m3, m4) quoted in the load descriptions in Table 1 are the same as those in the GB / T 33194 standard and will not be repeated here.

[0076] Table 1

[0077]

[0078] Among them, mass constraints can generally be achieved by setting the volume / mass fraction in the model; in view of the differences in design conditions and topology optimization parameter settings, the body section topology configuration is not unique. Table 2 gives the topology optimization parameter self-sensitivity analysis to eliminate the unreliability of the section topology configuration caused by the differences in the corresponding parameter settings. While analyzing the sensitivity of the design conditions to the profile body section configuration, the topology optimization parameter self-sensitivity analysis given in Table 2 can be carried out. Table 2 is a description table of the body structure topology optimization parameter self-sensitivity analysis.

[0079] Table 2

[0080]

[0081] As a preferred embodiment, obtaining the profile body structure design space of the rail vehicle to be optimized is specifically as follows:

[0082] The design space of the profile body structure of the rail vehicle to be optimized is determined based on the body limits, interior space contours, various interface relationships and space occupied by components of the rail vehicle to be optimized.

[0083] To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the design space for a typical aluminum alloy body.

[0084] Specifically, the design space is the premise of topological optimization. For aluminum alloy profile bodies, the design space is determined by the body limits and the contour of the interior space. At the same time, the reduction of various interface relationships or the space occupied by components must be considered, including but not limited to the following:

[0085] a) The space occupied by the bogie, undercarriage equipment, car-end coupler and car-end shock absorber in the car body underframe area;

[0086] b) The air conditioner and pantograph occupy space in the roof area of ​​the vehicle body;

[0088] d) The space occupied by the through passage in the end wall area of ​​the vehicle body;

[0090] f) For vehicles with crashworthiness design requirements, the impact of the energy absorption system on the structural space at the ends of the vehicle body must also be considered.

[0091] Of course, in addition to this method, the profile body structure design space of the rail vehicle to be optimized may also be obtained in other specific ways, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] As a preferred embodiment, the shape and size of the conceptual design of the profile body section topology are optimized with the minimum model mass as the optimization goal and the preset performance index as the constraint condition, so as to obtain the engineering solution of the profile body section topology. Specifically,

[0094] Determine the modal frequency performance index of the specified benchmark vehicle structure through modal analysis;

[0095] The structural stiffness performance index and the modal frequency performance index are used as preset performance indexes;

[0096] Taking the minimum model mass as the optimization goal and the preset performance indicators as the constraints, the conceptual design of the profile body section topology is optimized in shape and size to obtain an engineering solution for the profile body section topology.

[0097] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a benchmark body structure and a benchmark working condition calculation analysis can be carried out to determine the performance optimization index: for the topologically designed aluminum alloy profile body, a benchmark body structure should be selected, and the vehicle-level body structure numerical simulation analysis can be carried out according to the design working conditions listed in Table 1 to extract the key deformation to determine the structural stiffness performance index; at the same time, the body structure itself is modally analyzed to extract the first and second order modal frequency values ​​to determine the modal frequency performance index. For details, please refer to Table 3 below. Table 3 gives the necessary performance index parameters of the aluminum alloy body of the P-II type vehicle in the GB / T 33194 standard. Other models can refer to the listed working conditions for analysis to determine the corresponding parameters.

[0101] Based on the engineering solution, carry out full-condition numerical simulation analysis of the vehicle-level body structure in accordance with the specified standard requirements, and determine whether the engineering solution meets the specified standard requirements.

[0102] Specifically, in order to verify whether the engineering solution meets the specified standard requirements, in an embodiment of the present invention, a full-operating condition numerical simulation analysis of the vehicle body structure can be carried out according to the specified standard requirements to determine the reliability of the final engineering solution.

[0103] Among them, the specified standard can be of various types, for example, it can be GB / T 33194 standard or TB / T3548 or TB / T3451 standard, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited here. Please refer to Table 4, which gives an example of the design working condition of the P-II type vehicle aluminum alloy body structure in the GB / T 33194 standard.

[0107] Determine whether the engineering solution meets the specified standard requirements;

[0108] If it meets the requirements, the engineering solution will be trial-produced and tested at the vehicle or component level to determine the final design solution.

[0109] Specifically, after the engineering solution is determined, in order to further verify the reliability of the solution, in the embodiment of the present invention, the engineering solution can also be trial-produced and tested at the vehicle or component level to determine the final design solution.
