In the early data stage, finite element simulation analysis means is used to build a finite element model of the whole vehicle, the whole vehicle collision under specified conditions is simulated by simulation software, and the results are viewed by post-processing software. If the results are not ideal, the deformation mode is optimized to achieve the ideal collision results. In the physical stage, the whole vehicle test is used to verify the actual vehicle collision performance. If the structure deformation does not reach the ideal state, the whole vehicle model simulation and test are used for benchmarking, and the vehicle body structure is optimized based on the benchmarking corrected model.

First, the energy absorption of the key components in the front cabin is extracted from the simulation results of the whole vehicle in combination with the energy absorption statistics in the whole vehicle collision process. Then, the components with the statistical energy absorption are extracted separately and mounted on the trolley to establish the simplified model for deforming the front cabin as shown in the schematic diagram 2 of the top view of the simplified condition and the schematic diagram 3 of the left view of the simplified condition. The barrier model is defined as a fixed 50% overlap rigid thin plate with 6 degrees of freedom constraints. Finally, the collision speed of the simplified trolley model is calculated through the energy conservation principle, and the simulation calculation is performed.

The present application effectively solves the problems of high cost and long cycle of the current multi-wheel whole vehicle verification test. The simplified test method for the front collision of the automobile has a simple structure and can conveniently and reliably complete the simplified condition verification of the front collision test of the automobile to preliminarily determine the deformation safety performance of the front cabin in the front collision, and then the whole vehicle test is performed to reduce the test cost and shorten the test development cycle.

[0046] The total kinetic energy E0 of the whole vehicle collision condition is E b +E v ; wherein E b is the total kinetic energy of the barrier, and E v is the total kinetic energy of the collision vehicle, and the specific calculation method is shown in formulas (1) and (2):

[0047] E b =(M b ×V b 2 ) / 2 (1)

[0048] E v =(M v ×V v 2 ) / 2 (2)

[0049] Wherein:

[0050] M b is the total mass of the barrier, which is a constant value of 1400kg;

[0051] V bThe collision speed with the barrier is a constant value of 50 km / h.

[0052] M v The total mass of the vehicles involved in the collision;

[0053] V v The collision speed of the vehicles is a constant value of 50 km / h.

[0054] In this invention, according to the law of conservation of energy, E0 is converted from kinetic energy into internal energy during the collision, manifesting as deformation and deflection of the barrier and the entire vehicle after the collision, as well as occupant injuries. For a frontal collision, the main energy-absorbing component of the vehicle is the front compartment frame. Reasonable energy absorption by the front compartment frame can reduce occupant injuries; therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the deformation of the front compartment structure reaches the ideal mode.

[0055] The energy absorption data during the vehicle collision process is statistically analyzed, and the total energy absorbed by the energy-absorbing components in the front compartment is defined as E. s Let E s To simplify the model, the total collision energy is as shown in Equation (3):

[0056] E s =(M s ×V s 2 ) / twenty three)

[0057]

[0058] in:

[0059] M s To simplify the overall mass of the model;

[0060] V s To simplify the model's collision velocity.

[0061] Given E s V is calculated according to formula (4). s M s Given the total mass of the trolley carrying the front compartment frame, with a maximum load of 1200 kg, the simplified model speed is defined based on this maximum load. A simplified simulation model and simplified verification test conditions are then defined, and simulation analysis optimization and real-vehicle test verification are performed. In the above steps, E is known. s V can be calculated according to formula (4). s M s The total mass of the trolley carrying the front cabin frame is considered, with a maximum load capacity of 1200 kg; therefore, the maximum load capacity is used. The simplified model velocity definition can be determined based on this. This allows for the definition of a simplified simulation model and simplified verification test conditions, such as...

[0067] The front deformation verification test structure, the specific assembly relationship of the trolley (simplified working condition trolley, simplified trolley) and the function implementation method are shown in the simplified working condition top view of Figure 2 and the simplified working condition left view of Figure 3. When the structure is set, the front cabin part of the simplified simulation model is intercepted, including the front bumper 2, the main energy absorption box 3, the front longitudinal beam 4, the upper bending longitudinal beam 7, the front end module 9, the auxiliary frame body 12, the auxiliary frame longitudinal beam 14, the auxiliary energy absorption box 15 and the calf protection cross beam 16, and the main energy absorption components and the trolley linking components front apron 5 and hinge column 11. It should be noted that the hard points and obstacles affecting the deformation of the front cabin longitudinal beam need to be carried at the same time, such as the dynamic total suspension support and the storage battery. Since the current verification is carried out, only the storage battery and the installation support 8 and 13-engine suspension support 13 are carried. The simplified working condition barrier is a non-deformable steel plate with the same size as the front collision honeycomb aluminum, which is welded and fixed on the rigid support to form the offset rigid wall 10, and the whole is fixed on the fixed wall body 1 through bolts.

Reducing the number of whole vehicle verification rounds, reducing the test cost, reducing the whole vehicle trial resource, shortening the test period, and preliminarily determining the safety performance of the front cabin deformation in the front collision.

[0069] The front collision simplified test method of the application, the front collision of the whole vehicle is as follows Figure 1The front collision of the whole vehicle test working condition is shown in the figure. First, the energy absorption of the key components in the front cabin is extracted from the simulation results of the whole vehicle in combination with the energy absorption statistics in the whole vehicle collision process; then, the components with statistical energy absorption are extracted separately and mounted on the trolley to establish a simplified model for deforming the front cabin as shown in the top view of the simplified working condition in figure 2 and the left view of the simplified working condition in figure 3. The barrier model is defined as a fixed 50% overlap rigid thin plate with 6 degrees of freedom constraints; finally, the collision speed of the simplified trolley model is calculated through the principle of energy conservation, and the simulation calculation is carried out.
