Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of active noise control, and more particularly, to an in-vehicle noise active control method and device combining virtual sensing and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Active noise control (ANC) is widely used to solve low-frequency noise pollution caused by industrial equipment. This technology uses loudspeakers, known as secondary sound sources, to emit counteracting sound waves to cancel out noise at the current location, achieving the purpose of reducing low-frequency noise. New energy vehicles produce drum noise, cavity noise and booming noise during driving, and these noises are usually low-frequency noises below 250 Hz. Therefore, ANC technology can be used to effectively suppress in-vehicle noise of new energy vehicles. At present, the feedforward ANC scheme is concerned due to its stability and high noise reduction performance.

[0003] Adaptive filtering algorithms play an important role in ANC; and the Filtered-x least mean square (FxLMS) algorithm is the most widely used adaptive filtering method, which ensures a local quiet zone around the error microphone. However, it is sometimes inconvenient to place the error microphone on the target for a long time. Therefore, the virtual sensing method has been proposed to solve this problem. Generally, the virtual sensing method is divided into two stages, namely the training and control stages. In the training stage, a temporary microphone is placed at the target as a virtual error microphone to obtain the transfer function containing information related to the ANC system. In the control stage, the temporary microphone is removed, and the pre-modeled transfer function is used to generate a controller to attenuate the noise in the desired area. The virtual sensing algorithm can significantly reduce the restrictions on the installation location of the physical monitoring microphone, and still form a quiet zone near the human ear in the case where it is inconvenient to place a virtual error microphone near the human ear in the vehicle. Therefore, the study of the virtual sensing method has high practical value.

[0004] The Additional Filter Method (AFM) and the Remote Microphone Method (RMM) are two widely adopted traditional virtual sensing methods. AFM is essentially a model-referenced adaptive control strategy where the virtual error signal is implicitly estimated using a pre-trained additional filter, and information about the optimal controller is already contained within the additional filter. RMM uses pre-modeled observation filters and monitored signals to explicitly compute the virtual error signal of the adaptive controller. However, if the primary noise source changes significantly during the control phase compared to the training phase, the frequency responses of the pre-trained additional and observation filters become unsuitable, requiring remodeling to achieve effective noise reduction at the target location. Using wider-bandwidth primary noise for training during the AFM and RMM phases is a compromise solution; however, as a trade-off, the effectiveness of suppressing all primary noise is limited.

[0005] To overcome this limitation, existing technologies utilize reference signals measured in feedforward ANC systems to calculate a linear combination of auxiliary filters based on a frequency band matching mechanism. However, this method requires high precision in frequency matching, making it unsuitable for in-vehicle noise control in new energy vehicles. Other existing technologies propose a virtual sensing method based on relative paths for feedforward ANC systems, which improves performance in responding to interference variations by estimating interference and anti-noise signals in the target noise reduction region. However, establishing an accurate relative path model is crucial in this method, and its improvement in noise reduction performance is relatively limited.

[0006] In summary, existing virtual sensing methods lack specific design for changes in the primary noise sources of ANC systems within new energy vehicles, and urgently need further improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method, device, and vehicle for active noise control within new energy vehicles that incorporates virtual sensing.
