Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle testing, in particular to a wind speed compensation method and system during vehicle testing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] Passenger vehicles need to be tested for their performance after being manufactured, and a chassis dynamometer is usually used to simulate the working conditions of the passenger vehicles running on the road. The chassis dynamometer is a device that is stationary on the ground, and it simulates the movement of the road relative to the vehicle by rotating the drum to perform the test, while in actual road tests, the vehicle moves longitudinally relative to the stationary road surface.

[0004] Therefore, when using a chassis dynamometer to simulate the test of a vehicle, since the vehicle does not move relative to the ground, there is no air flow around the vehicle participating in the test as there is on the actual road, so the heat generated by the vehicle during the test cannot be carried away by the flowing air, and compared with road tests, it is more likely to reach an overheating state of the engine, affecting its thermal load, fuel economy, and emission performance parameters, and also affecting the performance of parts and causing certain safety hazards.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the prior art arranges a cooling fan at the front of the vehicle participating in the test to form cooling during the chassis dynamometer test, but the body of the passenger vehicle is long, and the arrangement of the cooling fan at the front of the vehicle cannot make the flowing air reach the tail smoothly, so the cooling effect is limited. If multiple cooling fans are arranged at different positions of the vehicle, although the cooling effect can be ensured, too many fans will make the wind speed around the vehicle during the test of the vehicle performance using the chassis dynamometer chaotic, and unable to match the real wind speed on the actual road. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a wind speed compensation method and system during vehicle testing, which first performs a road test on a passenger vehicle to obtain the variation of the wind speed at each position of the vehicle with the vehicle speed during the road test, then fixes the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer to perform a road fitting test and a wind speed fitting test, restores the position of the wind speed sensor, changes the size of the wind force emitted by the fan around the vehicle, and makes the wind speed at different positions of the vehicle consistent with the wind speed collected during the road test, which can not only improve the cooling condition during the test of the vehicle, but also compensate for the wind speed of the chassis dynamometer, making the test result more accurate.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The first aspect of the application provides a wind speed compensation method during vehicle testing, comprising the following steps:

[0017] Obtaining the time T1 required for the test vehicle to decelerate from the initial vehicle speed V1 to V2 through coasting, and V2 is not less than V0.

[0018] Repeating the road test in the opposite direction to obtain the time T2, and obtaining the average value of the required time.

[0019] Obtaining the resistance and power of the test vehicle according to the vehicle speed of the test vehicle and the average value of the time required for coasting to the set speed.

[0020] Obtaining the change value of the wind speed following the vehicle speed at different positions of the test vehicle during the road test, specifically: during the road test, obtaining the wind speed based on the wind speed sensors arranged at the set positions, and the wind speed changes following the vehicle speed.

[0022] The size of the fan is changed to make the wind speed at different positions of the test vehicle consistent with the wind speed obtained in the road test, and the specific method is as follows:

As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0038] The following examples give a wind speed compensation method and system during vehicle testing, first road test is performed on the passenger vehicle to obtain the wind speed variation of each position of the vehicle with vehicle speed during road test, when the vehicle is fixed on the chassis dynamometer for road fitting test and wind speed fitting test, the passenger vehicle is restored according to the position of the wind speed sensor during road test, and the power of the vehicle fan around the vehicle is changed according to the wind speed determined during road test and the vehicle speed obtained on the chassis dynamometer, so that the wind speed at different positions of the vehicle is consistent with the wind speed collected during road test, which can not only improve the heat dissipation during vehicle testing, but also compensate the wind speed of the chassis dynamometer, so that the test result is more accurate.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] As shown in Figs. 1-2 A wind speed compensation method during vehicle testing, comprising the following steps:

[0041] Arranging wind speed sensors at the set positions of the test vehicle and performing road test to obtain the wind speed variation of different positions of the test vehicle with vehicle speed during road test;

[0042] The test vehicle is connected with the chassis dynamometer, and the test vehicle is restored at the wind speed sensor positions determined during road test.

[0043] The size of the fan wind force is changed to make the wind speed at different positions of the test vehicle consistent with the wind speed obtained during road test.

[0044] Specifically:

[0045] According to the requirements of road test, the wind speed sensor is installed at the set position of the passenger vehicle. The embodiment installs the wind speed sensor at the position of the vehicle head and the air inlet grille of the passenger vehicle, as shown in Fig. 2 The wind speed sensor 4 at the position of the vehicle head and the wind speed sensor 5 at the air inlet grille are shown.

[0046] According to the appendix C "determination of running resistance and simulation on the chassis dynamometer" in "GB / T 27840-2021 Measurement method for fuel consumption of heavy commercial vehicle", the road test is carried out, and the "sliding energy change method" is used to test the resistance of the vehicle when running on the test road. During the period, the change value of the wind speed following the vehicle speed at different positions of the vehicle during the road test is collected.

[0047] The same test passenger car 2 is subjected to road fitting test and wind speed fitting test, the test passenger car 2 is connected with the chassis dynamometer roller 3, and the test passenger car 2 is restored according to the position of the wind speed sensor determined during the road test. The embodiment also installs the wind speed sensor at the position of the vehicle head and the air inlet grille (as shown in Fig. 2 The wind speed sensor 4 at the position of the vehicle head and the wind speed sensor 5 at the air inlet grille are shown.

[0048] The wind speed at different positions of the test passenger car 2 at different speeds has been determined by road test, then the simulation speed of the test passenger car 2 on the chassis dynamometer is obtained, the cooling fan 1 is set at the required position (in this embodiment, it is set at the position of the vehicle head), the wind power generated by the controller is changed, so that the wind speed at different positions of the test passenger car 2 is consistent with the wind speed collected during the road test, thereby simulating the influence of air resistance on the test passenger car 2 under road test, restoring the wind speed at the key position of the vehicle, reducing the damage of the parts of the vehicle caused by overheating during the test, and improving the safety of the test.

[0049] The sliding energy change method can be used to test the influence of the resistance of the vehicle on the power during the road test, and the resistance under the test condition is derived from the air resistance and the friction between the tire and the ground. When the chassis dynamometer is used subsequently, since the vehicle is stationary relative to the ground, only the resistance caused by the friction between the tire and the ground can be simulated, and the resistance caused by the air flow is ignored. At the same time, since there is no air flow, the parts of the test vehicle are more likely to overheat. The embodiment uses the "wind speed value following the change of vehicle speed" obtained during the road test to restore the simulated speed and the "corresponding speed and wind speed during the road test" during the related test of the chassis dynamometer, thereby restoring the wind speed at the key position of the vehicle, which is closer to the real road condition, and simulates the real road condition to cool the test vehicle.
