[0043] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a simulation-based method for adjusting rear suspension parameters, which includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S100: Obtain the target components associated with each rear overhang parameter, and construct an assembly structure tree based on the connection points of the target components. The assembly structure tree is used to characterize the composition and assembly sequence of the different target components.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to quickly and efficiently adjust the rear suspension parameters, components that are highly correlated with the rear suspension parameters that need to be adjusted can be pre-determined, and then assembly schemes and available adjustment amounts can be configured for these components.

[0048] In one embodiment, before obtaining the target component associated with each rear suspension parameter, the method further includes: obtaining the directional displacement of the connection points of each component in a preset mechanical motion model, wherein the mechanical motion model is obtained by simulation based on the chassis suspension structure; and determining the component associated with each rear suspension parameter as the target component based on the change in the corresponding rear suspension parameter under the action of the directional displacement.

[0049] Specifically, a mechanical motion model can be constructed based on the suspension hardpoint arrangement. Then, based on this mechanical motion model, the influence values ​​of the rear suspension parameters corresponding to the displacement in different directions can be output. The components corresponding to the rear suspension parameters that are greatly affected by the displacement in different directions are identified as components with significant influence. Then, based on the components with significant influence, the assembly relationship of the tolerance analysis model is constructed to build the tolerance analysis model. According to the tolerance analysis model, the tolerance is allocated to each component to determine the influence of the assembly process on the rear suspension parameters. Then, the assembly method in the production process is determined to obtain the target assembly scheme.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 The model building process can be described as follows: First, the technical requirements of the suspension components, such as connection methods and tolerances, are input into the simulation software. Then, the simulation software is used to analyze the four-wheel alignment tolerances of the suspension. If the tolerance constraints are met, the tolerance range of each suspension component, the assembly sequence in the assembly and manufacturing process, and the positioning tooling are determined. Simultaneously, measuring points can be set on each component, and the rear suspension parameters are obtained by detecting these points with testing equipment to determine whether the rear suspension parameters meet the preset thresholds. A mechanical motion model can also be constructed, and the connection points of each component in the mechanical motion model are experimentally verified to determine the changes in the rear suspension parameters under different directional offset constraints. This determines the correlation between the components in the mechanical motion model. Then, components with a high influence on the rear suspension parameters are selected as target components, and the connection methods between the components are determined. This facilitates the construction of an assembly structure tree in the assembly process based on these connection methods.

[0051] In one embodiment, a mechanical motion model can be built based on the chassis suspension structure. The target components in the mechanical motion model include: a vehicle body, a rear subframe, an upper control arm, a lower control arm, a toe-adjusting rod, a camber adjusting rod, a rear steering knuckle, a shock absorber, a shock absorber, and a tire. The tire and the rear steering knuckle are connected to form an integral structure. The rear steering knuckle is ball-connected to the upper control arm, the lower control arm, the toe-adjusting rod, and the camber adjusting rod via multiple connection points on its inner side, respectively, through connecting bushings. A connection is established between the lower control arm and the rear subframe through a predetermined connection point. A connection is also established between the rear subframe and the vehicle body through a predetermined connection point. The shock absorber and the shock absorber are disposed between the rear subframe and the vehicle body.

[0052] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 The suspension mechanical structure mainly includes the following components:

[0053] Vehicle body, rear subframe 2, upper control arm 9, lower control arm 3, toe-in adjustment rod 4, camber adjustment rod 10, rear steering knuckle 7, shock absorber spring 5, shock absorber, tire 6.

[0054] First, install the following parts in the mechanical motion model. That is:

[0055] Tire 6 and rear steering knuckle 1 are connected by 5 bolts to form a single unit.

[0056] The rear horn has four connection points on the inside, which are bolted to the upper control arm, lower control arm, and toe-in adjusting rod.

[0057] The lower control arm has two connection points with the rear subframe.

[0058] The rear subframe is connected to the vehicle body at four points.

[0059] Secondly, based on the operating conditions encountered during vehicle operation, each connection point is assigned a motion mode, namely:

[0060] When a vehicle is subjected to lateral and longitudinal external forces, the wheels drive the rear steering knuckle to rotate and move up and down, left and right, and forward and backward, and the force is transmitted through the ball joint.

[0061] Please see Figure 4 The mechanical motion model of each connection point is constructed as follows:

[0062] The rear saddle, along with the upper control arm, lower control arm, toe-in adjuster, and camber adjuster, is connected to a ball joint via a connecting bushing. During the transmission of lateral and longitudinal forces, it can rotate and compress around the ball's center.

[0063] The inner side of the lower control arm is connected to the rear subframe through two points, which is simplified to an axis. When under force, it can rotate along the axis and transmit or unload lateral impact force through bushing compression.

[0064] Similarly, the upper control arm and lower control arm, the toe-in adjustment rod and the subframe, and the camber adjustment rod and the subframe are all connected by a single-point ball joint. When subjected to force, they can rotate around the center of the ball and compress to complete the transmission or dissipation of impact force.

[0065] The shock absorber spring and shock absorber are placed between the subframe and the vehicle body. Their function is to relieve force in the vertical direction through spring compression and shock absorber strut stroke.

[0066] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 The simplified connection relationships of the components in the mechanical motion model are shown.

[0067] After the above model is built, establish observation points for the rear wheel toe angle and rear wheel camber angle. These rear wheel toe angle and rear wheel camber angle are the rear suspension parameters that need to be adjusted.

[0068] In one embodiment, determining the components associated with each rear suspension parameter based on the change in the corresponding rear suspension parameter under the action of the directional displacement includes: applying directional displacements in multiple preset directions to the connection points of each component in the mechanical motion model; recording the changes in the rear wheel toe angle and the rear wheel camber angle when the connection points of each component reach the corresponding directional displacements; and designating the component at the connection point where the change exceeds a preset threshold as the component associated with the rear wheel toe angle or the rear wheel camber angle.

[0069] Specifically, displacements are applied in the XYZ directions at the connection points of the rear steering knuckle and the outer side of the upper control arm, the front connection point of the lower control arm, and the rear connection point. The influence of the displacement in each direction on the rear wheel toe angle and camber angle is output (as shown in Tables 1 and 2). This determines whether the influence of each direction of the connection point on the parameters is correlated, thereby determining the simplified assembly mode of the parts in the system tolerance analysis model.

[0070] Table 1

[0071]

[0072] Table 2

[0073]

[0074] Based on the above calculations, the control directions that significantly affect the exotropy and toe at the three core ball joint connection points of the posterior horn are mainly: X and Y directions at the front and rear ball joints of the lower control arm, and Y direction at the outer ball joint of the upper control arm.

[0075] Step S110: Determine the assembly fitting points between each component and the corresponding target component based on the assembly structure tree.

[0076] In one embodiment, constructing an assembly structure tree based on the connection points of the target component includes: obtaining the assembly process of each component in the mechanical motion model; taking the target component as a parent node and determining the child nodes associated with the parent node according to the assembly process; and obtaining the assembly structure tree according to the association relationship between the parent node and the child nodes.

[0077] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6-8 Import the components related to the rear suspension parameters into the model. According to the assembly process, build a parent-child assembly structure tree, namely: the lower control arm self-positions to the rear subframe in the XYZ direction, the upper control arm self-positions to the rear subframe in the XZ direction, the rear steering knuckle self-positions to the rear subframe in the XY direction, and the toe-in adjusting rod is finally positioned to the rear steering knuckle and the rear subframe in the XZ direction.

[0078] In one embodiment, the relationships and assembly relationships of each component can be determined according to the assembly structure tree. For example, the rear subframe 2 is assembled to the rear suspension parameter adjustment fixture 12 by constraining 6 degrees of freedom; the lower control arm 3 is assembled to both the rear suspension parameter adjustment fixture 12 and the rear subframe 2 by constraining 6 degrees of freedom; the lower control arm connector 10 is assembled to the lower control arm 3 by aligning its center point; and the upper control arm 9 is assembled to the rear subframe 2 by aligning its center point. Thus, the rear subframe subassembly is formed. The rear steering knuckle 7 is assembled to the rear subframe subassembly by constraining 6 degrees of freedom.

[0079] In one embodiment, determining the assembly fitting point between each component and the corresponding target component based on the assembly structure tree includes: using the connection point of the target component in the assembly structure tree as a constraint point, determining the contact point between each component and the corresponding target component based on the constraint point; determining the constraint direction of the contact point based on the change in the rear overhang parameter, so as to construct the assembly fitting point of the corresponding target component based on the contact point and the corresponding constraint direction.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 Based on the above constraints, features are picked up on the part, and assembly fitting points are constructed according to the contact points. Specifically, feature points 7-6, 7-7, and 7-8 can be picked up on the end face of the rear steering knuckle 7. These three points form a surface, constituting the angle measurement surface of the measured element. The angle formed by the projection of vector I and the XZ plane is the rear wheel camber angle. The angle formed by the projection of K onto the XZ plane is the rear wheel toe angle. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 18 After importing the corresponding coordinate values, adjust the hanging parameters of fixture 12 to form measurement pick points 12-3, 12-4, and 12-5.

[0081] Step S120: Construct a tolerance analysis model based on the assembly fitting points, and perform assembly iteration on each assembly fitting point based on the tolerance analysis model so that the assembly tolerance of each assembly fitting point meets the preset tolerance constraint, thereby obtaining the target assembly scheme and the position adjustment range of the target parts based on the corresponding connection points, and perform physical assembly based on the target assembly scheme and the position adjustment range.

[0082] In one embodiment, before performing assembly iteration on each of the assembly fitting points based on the tolerance analysis model, the method further includes: determining the parts that need to be positioned in the assembly structure tree based on historical assembly data; obtaining a preset virtual positioning fixture for the parts that need to be positioned, and performing assembly iteration based on the preset virtual positioning fixture.

[0083] Specifically, please refer to Figure 9-11For components requiring positioning, namely the rear subframe, lower control arm, and rear steering knuckle, a virtual positioning fixture is set up. This virtual positioning fixture ensures that the components requiring positioning remain in their theoretical positions during assembly. For example, components requiring positioning may include the rear subframe 2, lower control arm 3, and rear steering knuckle 7.

[0084] In one embodiment, the assembly iterative process for each assembly fitting point based on the tolerance analysis model includes: determining the tolerances of each component in the assembly structure tree, the tolerances of the preset virtual positioning fixture, and the assembly data distribution pattern of the corresponding components after assembly during the production process in the historical time period according to the tolerance analysis model; completing the initial assembly based on the assembly fitting points; calculating whether the position of each component in the current assembly state meets the tolerance and the assembly data distribution pattern; if not, adjusting the assembly angle of the corresponding component according to the preset step size until the corresponding tolerance and the assembly data distribution pattern are met, thereby obtaining the target assembly scheme, wherein the target assembly scheme includes the position adjustment range of the target component in meeting the tolerance and the assembly data distribution pattern.

[0085] Specifically, component tolerances, tooling tolerances, and the distribution pattern of assembly data (i.e., normal distribution, uniform distribution, etc.) after the corresponding components are assembled during the production process in a historical period can be predefined.

[0086] In one embodiment, measurement points are established by picking up features on the rear steering knuckle surface, namely the rear wheel toe angle and the rear wheel camber angle. At the same time, the center point of the toe adjustment rod at the connection point of the rear subframe is picked up, and the Y-direction position measurement point of the toe adjustment rod is defined. Similarly, the Y-direction position measurement point of the upper control arm is defined.

[0087] In one embodiment, since the aforementioned steps determine the direction with significant influence on the connection point of each component based on the directional displacement, the direction with significant influence can be used as the constraint direction of the corresponding assembly fitting point.

[0088] In one embodiment, the initial tolerances of the vehicle body beam assembly 1, rear subframe 2, lower control arm 3, toe-in adjustment rod 4, rear steering knuckle 7, upper control arm 9, and lower control arm connector 10, as well as the tolerances of the rear suspension parameter adjustment fixture 12, can be preset, and the initial distribution pattern of the data (i.e., normal distribution, uniform distribution, etc.) can be selected.

[0089] In one embodiment, the adjustment iteration conditions for the rear overhang parameters can be preset before the assembly iteration. For example, the camber angle adjustment iteration conditions are set. When the calculation results in camber exceeding the set camber angle threshold, the rear horn 7 is rotated in the direction of vector I with the connection point of the upper control arm 9 as the center, and the iteration is performed in steps of 0.01° until the calculation meets the adjustment iteration conditions and then proceeds to the next step of the calculation.

[0090] Reassemble control arm 9, aligning its connection center point with ball joint 7-1 of the rear steering knuckle 7. Use the Y-direction center distance between point 9-1 of the upper control arm 9 and the rear subframe 2 as the measured element, such as... Figure 13 As shown in the figure, USL and LSL represent the upper and lower tolerance limits for the center point to coincide. This is used to determine whether the position after reassembly is within the upper and lower tolerance limits.

[0091] Similarly, iterative conditions for toe-in adjustment can be set. When the toe-in exceeds the tolerance during the calculation, the connection point of toe-in adjustment rod 4 (i.e., Figure 3 Centered on point 7-5 (shown), rotate the rear horn 7 in the direction of vector K, iterating in steps of 0.01° until the calculation meets the adjustment iteration conditions and then proceeds to the next step of the calculation.

[0092] Assemble the toe-in adjusting rod 4, aligning its connection center point with ball joints 7-5 of the rear steering knuckle 7. The Y-direction center distance between point 4-1 of the toe-in adjusting rod 4 and the rear subframe 2 is the measured element. Figure 13 As shown in the figure, USL and LSL represent the upper and lower tolerance limits for the center point to coincide. This is used to determine whether the position after reassembly is within the upper and lower tolerance limits.

[0093] Based on the aforementioned adjusted iteration conditions, simulation iterations can be performed. The sample size for simulation iterations can be preset to 5000 or 10000. The number of iterations can also be set and adjusted according to actual application requirements; no limitation is imposed here. After completing the iterative calculations based on the tolerance analysis model, similar results can be obtained. Figure 14 The parameter calculation results shown are truncated at both ends because the model settings stipulate that the toe and camber calculations are always iterated according to the tolerance and adjustment range constraints. Therefore, the Y-axis deviation of the toe adjustment rod 4 and the upper control arm 9 can be obtained.

[0094] In one embodiment, physical assembly based on the target assembly scheme and the position adjustment range includes: configuring the directional adjustment amount of the connection point of the corresponding target component according to the position adjustment range; configuring the pre-tightening positioning fixture and pre-tightening sequence of each component based on the directional adjustment amount; fastening according to the pre-tightening fixture and pre-tightening sequence; measuring the rear overhang parameter according to the preset measuring points of the corresponding component; and determining the adjustment sequence of each component according to the measurement results to meet the assembly tolerance.

[0095] In one embodiment, based on the calculated Y-axis tolerance range of the upper control arm and toe-in adjusting rod, the Y-axis adjustment amount at the connection between the upper control arm, toe-in adjusting rod, and rear subframe is designed. A pre-tightening fixture positioning system is designed to determine the pre-tightening and partial tightening sequence of the connection points. An adjustment fixture positioning system is determined to determine the tightening sequence of the connection points. Based on the measurement points of the tolerance analysis model, physical modeling is performed, and the parameter measurement thresholds for the sub-assembly station are planned to determine the adjustment sequence of the eccentric bolts.

[0096] Specifically, based on the deviation, the connecting holes on the rear subframe 2 are adjusted according to... Figure 15 Optimize the design and select eccentric bolt 11, as shown. Figure 16 As shown.

[0097] Among them, the mounting point of the rear subframe 2 includes two parts of data. 2-1 is a raised structure, the width of which is designed with a gap of 0.2mm with the flange diameter of the eccentric bolt 11. At the other end of the eccentric bolt, there is an anti-rotation washer 11-1 and a matching groove 11-2. There are scales 11-3 on both the washer 11-1 and the flange surface of the bolt head for manual visual adjustment reference.

[0098] The purpose of the above structure is that when the eccentric bolt 11 is adjusted, it can be limited by the limiting rib 2-1 to ensure that its two ends can only rotate and cannot move. Through the friction between the screw and the toe adjustment rod 4 and the bushing arm of the upper control arm 9, the toe adjustment rod 4 and the upper control arm 9 are driven to move in the Y direction, so as to adjust the two parameters.

[0099] Furthermore, the above scheme is converted into an adjustment fixture 12, which has the same structure as the above scheme, including a positioning part 12-1 and a measuring part 12-3, as well as a deviation display 12-2. Based on the deviation indication, the adjustment mechanism 12-4 executes the adjustment command to complete the parameter adjustment.

[0100] This method enables the assembly positioning, system tolerance allocation, and forward development design of rear suspension-related components. By combining mechanical simulation, the accuracy of the tolerance analysis model can be significantly improved, reducing errors in tolerance allocation. Through the above analysis, the specific execution method for assembling rear suspension-related components and the locations of parameter measurement points were determined. Based on this data, the tooling for adjusting rear suspension parameters was designed. Compared with traditional tooling development, this method provides two additional steps of simulation data support, further reducing the cost of trial and error in later production, and is worthy of wider application in more fields.
