Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to the field of automotive sound quality technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for determining abnormal noise from a turbocharger. Background Technology

[0002] Turbochargers increase the intake air volume by compressing air. To avoid the phenomenon of "over-boosting" in turbochargers, exhaust bypass devices are designed on turbochargers, including mechanical exhaust bypass valves and electronically controlled exhaust bypass valves. To improve control efficiency, electronically controlled exhaust bypass valves are often used nowadays.

[0003] The electronically controlled exhaust bypass valve consists of a control chamber, a lever, and an exhaust bypass valve. Due to the clearance between the various components and the need for rapid reciprocating motion, a metallic knocking sound is often produced. The frequency of the sound waves generated by this knocking is generally 1-10 kHz, giving customers the impression of a malfunction and affecting the overall sound quality of the machine. Currently, knocking sounds are generally assessed through subjective evaluation and objective measurement of vibration and noise. However, because the knocking sound generated by the turbocharger occurs inside the turbocharger, and due to the extremely high temperature and small component size inside, directly measuring abnormal noise from the turbocharger is quite difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One of the purposes of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for determining whether a turbocharger has abnormal noise.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of this application, a method for determining turbocharger abnormal noise is provided, comprising: a turbocharger abnormal noise determining device acquiring first sound data of a first vehicle under preset operating conditions, wherein the first sound data is collected by a noise sensor deployed on the first vehicle, and the distance between the turbocharger of the first vehicle and the noise sensor on the first vehicle is less than a preset distance; further, the turbocharger abnormal noise determining device performs high-pass filtering on the first sound data according to a preset frequency to obtain target sound data after high-pass filtering; and determines the loudness value of the first vehicle based on the target sound data; further, if the loudness value of the first vehicle is greater than a preset loudness value, the turbocharger abnormal noise determining device determines that there is abnormal noise in the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0007] According to the above-mentioned technical means, in the turbocharger abnormal noise determination method provided in this application, the first sound data of turbocharger noise collected when the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions is obtained. In order to avoid the influence of engine noise, the sound data below the preset frequency is filtered by high-pass filtering to obtain target sound data. Then, the loudness value of the first vehicle is determined based on the target sound data. If the loudness value is greater than the preset loudness value, it indicates that the noise generated by the turbocharger is easily detected by the user, that is, it is determined that there is abnormal noise in the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0013] Based on the above technical means, this application can determine the target valve opening degree so that when the vehicle is running under preset operating conditions, the exhaust bypass valve can be controlled to open at the target valve opening degree, thereby reducing the abnormal noise of the turbocharger.

[0040] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. 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 understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] 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.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. The "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Furthermore, "at least one" and "more than one" refer to two or more. The terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0043] Currently, knocking sounds are generally assessed through subjective evaluation and objective measurement of vibration and noise. However, because knocking sounds generated during turbocharger operation occur inside the turbocharger, and factors such as extremely high temperatures and small component sizes within the turbocharger make direct measurement of turbocharger noises quite difficult. Furthermore, knocking sounds from the exhaust bypass valve often occur under variable operating conditions such as rapid acceleration, making steady-state measurement and analysis challenging. Therefore, a method for identifying turbocharger noises is urgently needed.

[0044] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for determining turbocharger abnormal noise. The turbocharger abnormal noise determination apparatus acquires first sound data of a first vehicle under preset operating conditions. The first sound data is collected by a noise sensor deployed on the first vehicle, and the distance between the turbocharger of the first vehicle and the noise sensor on the first vehicle is less than a preset distance. Further, the turbocharger abnormal noise determination apparatus performs high-pass filtering on the first sound data according to a preset frequency to obtain high-pass filtered target sound data; and determines the loudness value of the first vehicle based on the target sound data. Further, if the loudness value of the first vehicle is greater than a preset loudness value, the turbocharger abnormal noise determination apparatus determines that there is abnormal noise from the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0045] In this way, the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application obtains the first sound data of turbocharger noise collected when the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions. In order to avoid the influence of engine noise, the sound data below the preset frequency is filtered by high-pass filtering to obtain target sound data. Then, the loudness value of the first vehicle is determined based on the target sound data. If the loudness value is greater than the preset loudness value, it indicates that the noise generated by the turbocharger is easily detected by the user, that is, it is determined that there is abnormal noise in the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0046] Figure 1 This application discloses a turbocharger noise determination system. The turbocharger noise determination method provided in this embodiment can be applied to applications such as... Figure 1 The turbocharger noise detection system shown is used to determine whether there is an abnormal noise from the vehicle's turbocharger. Figure 1As shown, the turbocharger noise detection system 10 includes a turbocharger noise detection device 11, a noise sensor 12, and a turbocharger 13.

[0047] The turbocharger noise detection device 11 is connected to the noise sensor 12, and the connection can be wired or wireless. This application embodiment does not limit the connection in this way.

[0048] It should be noted that the aforementioned turbocharger noise detection device 11, noise sensor 12, and turbocharger 13 are all deployed in the same vehicle.

[0049] The distance between the noise sensor 12 and the booster 13 is less than a preset distance.

[0050] For example, the noise sensor 12 can be a microphone for collecting sound data within a preset distance of the booster 13.

[0051] In some embodiments, the turbocharger noise detection device 11 is also connected to the vehicle's electronic control unit, and obtains the vehicle's engine speed, turbocharger speed, exhaust bypass valve opening, and throttle opening through the controller area network (CAN) bus signal sent by the electronic control unit.

[0052] The turbocharger noise detection device 11 can be used to acquire the first sound data of the first vehicle under preset operating conditions.

[0053] The first sound data is collected by the noise sensor 12 deployed on the first vehicle, and the distance between the supercharger 13 of the first vehicle and the noise sensor 12 on the first vehicle is less than a preset distance.

[0054] The turbocharger noise detection device 11 can also be used to perform high-pass filtering on the first sound data according to a preset frequency to obtain the target sound data after high-pass filtering.

[0055] The turbocharger noise detection device 11 can also be used to determine the loudness value of the first vehicle based on the target sound data, and further determine that the turbocharger of the first vehicle has abnormal noise if the loudness value of the first vehicle is greater than the preset loudness value.

[0056] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining turbocharger abnormal noise according to some exemplary embodiments. In some embodiments, the above-described method for determining turbocharger abnormal noise can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The turbocharger noise determination system 10 shown includes a turbocharger noise determination device 11. Hereinafter, this application will describe the turbocharger noise determination method by taking the application of the turbocharger noise determination method to the turbocharger noise determination device 11 as an example.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application includes the following steps S201-S204.

[0058] S201, The turbocharger abnormal noise determination device acquires the first sound data of the first vehicle under preset operating conditions.

[0059] The first sound data is collected by a noise sensor deployed on the first vehicle, and the distance between the turbocharger of the first vehicle and the noise sensor on the first vehicle is less than a preset distance.

[0060] As one possible implementation, when the vehicle is operating under preset conditions, the turbocharger noise detection device acquires the first sound data collected by the noise sensor.

[0061] It should be noted that the preset operating conditions can be set in advance by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise detection system in the turbocharger noise detection device. For example, the preset operating conditions can be the rapid acceleration of the vehicle while stationary and in neutral, with the engine speed rising from idle speed to 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm), or the engine speed dropping from 2000 rpm to idle speed. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0062] It should be noted that the preset distance can be set in advance by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise detection system in the turbocharger noise detection device. For example, the preset distance can be 10cm, 11cm, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions, the turbocharger noise determination device acquires the first sound data and also acquires the engine speed, turbocharger speed, exhaust gas bypass valve opening, and throttle opening of the first vehicle through the electronic control unit of the first vehicle. The turbocharger noise determination device can be used to determine whether the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions based on the acquired engine speed, turbocharger speed, exhaust gas bypass valve opening, and throttle opening.

[0064] S202, The turbocharger abnormal noise determination device performs high-pass filtering on the first sound data according to a preset frequency to obtain the target sound data after high-pass filtering.

[0065] It should be noted that the preset frequency can be set in advance by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise detection system in the turbocharger noise detection device. The basis for setting the preset frequency can be that the difference between the sound pressure level of the engine noise and the first sound data is small between the frequency from 0 and the preset frequency. For example, the preset frequency can be 5kHz (kilohertz).

[0066] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device uses the first sound data obtained in step S201 to perform high-pass filtering on the first sound data at a preset frequency to filter out signals with frequencies lower than the preset frequency and obtain target sound data with frequencies higher than the preset frequency.

[0067] Understandably, turbocharger noise mainly originates from the knocking sound caused by the gaps between turbocharger components during operation. Since the knocking sound is a wide-screen noise, while engine noise is mainly low-to-mid frequency noise, in order to separate turbocharger noise, the first sound data collected is high-pass filtered based on a preset frequency to avoid being affected by engine noise when identifying turbocharger noise, thus ensuring the accuracy of identifying turbocharger noise.

[0068] In some embodiments, the preset frequency can also be determined by the turbocharger noise determination device based on the sound data of vehicles without turbocharger noise, as described in the following embodiments of this application.

[0069] S203, the turbocharger noise detection device determines the loudness value of the first vehicle based on the target sound data.

[0070] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device uses the Zwicker loudness model based on the ISO 532B international standard to determine the time-varying loudness of the target sound data. Furthermore, based on the determined time-varying loudness, the device calculates the root mean square (RMS) of the loudness and uses the calculated RMS as the loudness value of the first vehicle.

[0071] S204. The turbocharger noise detection device determines that there is an abnormal noise in the turbocharger of the first vehicle when the loudness value of the first vehicle is greater than the preset loudness value.

[0072] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device compares the loudness value of the first vehicle determined in step S203 with a preset loudness value. Furthermore, if the loudness value of the first vehicle is greater than the preset loudness value, the turbocharger noise detection device determines that there is abnormal noise from the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0073] It should be noted that the preset loudness value can be set in advance by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise determination system in the turbocharger noise determination device to characterize the user's acceptable range for turbocharger noise. For example, the preset loudness value can be set to 20sone (loudness), which characterizes the user's acceptable range as 0-20sone. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0074] For example, if the preset loudness value is 20 sone, the loudness difference between the sound data showing abnormal noise from the supercharger and the sound data showing no abnormal noise from the supercharger is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the loudness value of the sound data with abnormal noise from the turbocharger is 21.80 sone, while the loudness value of the sound data without abnormal noise from the turbocharger is 18.91 sone. It is evident that the loudness value of the turbocharger with abnormal noise is 2.89 sone greater than the loudness value of the turbocharger without abnormal noise, and also exceeds the preset loudness value of 20 sone, which exceeds the acceptable range for users regarding turbocharger abnormal noise.

[0075] Understandably, in the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application embodiment, the first sound data of turbocharger noise collected when the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions is obtained. In order to avoid being affected by engine noise, the sound data below the preset frequency is filtered by high-pass filtering to obtain target sound data. Then, the loudness value of the first vehicle is determined based on the target sound data. If the loudness value is greater than the preset loudness value, it indicates that the noise generated by the turbocharger is no longer acceptable to the user, that is, it is determined that there is abnormal noise in the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0076] In one design, to determine a preset frequency for isolating turbocharger noise characteristics, the turbocharger abnormal noise determination method provided in this application embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it also includes S301-S302.

[0077] S301, the turbocharger abnormal noise determination device acquires the second sound data of the second vehicle under preset operating conditions.

[0078] The turbocharger in the second vehicle did not produce any abnormal noise.

[0079] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device obtains the second sound data of the second vehicle under preset operating conditions from the server.

[0080] Correspondingly, the turbocharger noise detection device deployed on the second vehicle acquires second sound data of the second vehicle under preset operating conditions. This second sound data is collected by a noise sensor deployed on the second vehicle, and the distance between the turbocharger of the second vehicle and the noise sensor on the second vehicle is less than a preset distance. Furthermore, the turbocharger noise detection device deployed on the second vehicle reports the second sound data of the second vehicle under the preset operating conditions to the server.

[0081] In some embodiments, the sound data of the second vehicle can be pre-input into the turbocharger noise determination device by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise determination system. The sound data of the second vehicle refers to the determined engine noise data.

[0082] S302, the turbocharger abnormal noise detection device determines the preset frequency based on the sound pressure level curves of the first sound data and the second sound data.

[0083] Among them, when the frequency is lower than the preset frequency, the similarity of the sound pressure level curves of the first sound data and the second sound data is greater than the preset similarity.

[0084] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device determines the sound pressure level curve of the first sound data based on the first sound data, and determines the sound pressure level curve of the second sound data based on the second sound data; wherein, the horizontal parameter of the sound pressure level curve is frequency, and the vertical parameter is sound pressure level. Further, the turbocharger noise detection device determines a frequency range where the similarity between the sound pressure level curves of the first and second sound data is greater than a preset similarity, and sets the upper limit of the frequency range as a preset frequency.

[0085] It should be noted that the similarity of the sound pressure level curves can be determined based on the average of the differences between the two curves. The preset similarity can be set in advance by the maintenance personnel of the turbocharger noise determination system in the turbocharger noise determination device. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0086] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the sound pressure level curves of a first sound data and a second sound data is shown. According to the curve similarity confirmation algorithm, it can be determined that the similarity between the sound pressure level curves of the first sound data and the second sound data is less than the preset similarity in the range of 0-5kHz. Furthermore, the booster noise detection device determines 5kHz as the preset frequency.

[0087] In some embodiments, the turbocharger noise detection device determines a preset frequency, which may also involve the turbocharger noise detection device performing a Fourier transform on the time-domain data of the first sound data and the second sound data, such as... Figure 6 The diagram shows the time-frequency-sound energy of the first sound data and the time-frequency-sound energy of the second sound data. Furthermore, based on the time-frequency-sound energy diagrams of the first and second sound data, the booster noise detection device determines that the sound energy intensity difference is small within the 0-5kHz frequency range, and therefore sets the preset frequency to 5kHz.

[0088] It is understandable that in the turbocharger abnormal noise determination method provided in this application embodiment, engine noise is separated by comparing the sound data of the turbocharger with the sound data of the turbocharger without abnormal noise, so as to avoid the engine noise affecting the determination of turbocharger abnormal noise.

[0089] In one design, to determine the cause of turbocharger noise, the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it also includes S401-S402.

[0090] S401, the turbocharger abnormal noise detection device acquires the operating information of the first vehicle under preset operating conditions.

[0091] The operating information includes engine speed and throttle opening.

[0092] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device obtains the engine speed and throttle opening of the first vehicle under preset operating conditions through the CAN signal sent by the electronic control unit.

[0093] S402, the turbocharger abnormal noise detection device determines the target clearance based on the clearance stress condition corresponding to the operating information.

[0094] The target gap is one of the multiple gaps in the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0095] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device determines the force condition of the clearance corresponding to the operating information obtained in step S401. Furthermore, the turbocharger noise detection device compares the force conditions of each clearance and determines the clearance with the highest force as the target clearance.

[0096] For example, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a waste gas bypass valve is shown, including 51-valve, 52-valve surface, 53-attachment plate, and 54-baffle; ab is the gap between the attachment plate and the valve, and cd is the gap between the baffle and the attachment plate.

[0097] When the operating information meets the conditions for rapid acceleration, the exhaust airflow blows the valve surface, causing the valve's axial clearance cd to be subjected to greater force and stronger disturbance. Since the clearance ab is in the same direction as the exhaust force, the clearance cd is determined to be the target clearance, which easily produces a knocking sound.

[0098] In some embodiments, to eliminate turbocharger noise, the target gap can be reduced, or gaskets can be added between the target gaps to reduce noise caused by collisions between the gaps.

[0099] It is understood that in the turbocharger noise determination method provided in the above embodiments of this application, the gap force condition corresponding to the vehicle's operating information is determined based on the vehicle's operating information, thereby determining the target gap that is prone to knocking sound, thus realizing the determination of the cause of turbocharger noise, and the turbocharger noise can be reduced or eliminated by reducing the target gap and adding gaskets as described above.

[0100] In one design, to ensure that the turbocharger noise does not occur when the first vehicle is running under preset operating conditions, the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application embodiment is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, it also includes S601-S602.

[0101] S601, the turbocharger noise detection device determines multiple loudness values ​​of the first vehicle.

[0102] Among them, each loudness value in the multiple loudness values ​​corresponds to the valve opening of the target valve, which is the exhaust bypass valve of the turbocharger of the first vehicle.

[0103] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device adjusts the valve opening of the target valve and determines multiple noise values ​​of the first vehicle operating under preset conditions at different valve openings.

[0104] For example, taking valve opening degrees of 0%, 10%, 20%...90%, 100% as an example, the resulting loudness values ​​corresponding to different valve opening degrees are as follows: Figure 10 As shown, for example, the loudness value is 16.15 sone when the valve opening is 0%, the loudness value is 26.58 sone when the valve opening is 10%, and the loudness value is 18.26 sone when the valve opening is 100%.

[0105] Understandably, when the valve opening is 0, that is, when the valve is closed, the valve and the valve seat are in contact, and there is a force between the auxiliary plate and the baffle. This is not a clearance fit. In addition, the smaller the valve opening, the greater the loudness value.

[0106] S602, the device for determining abnormal noise from the booster determines the target valve opening.

[0107] Among them, the loudness value corresponding to the target valve opening degree is less than or equal to the preset loudness value.

[0108] As one possible implementation, the turbocharger noise detection device compares the loudness value corresponding to each valve opening degree with a preset loudness value. Furthermore, the device determines the valve opening degree corresponding to a loudness value less than the preset loudness value as the target valve opening degree.

[0109] For example, see attached Figure 10 As shown, when the valve opening is greater than or equal to 70%, the loudness value of the first vehicle is less than the preset loudness value. Therefore, the valve opening of 70% or greater can be determined as the target valve opening.

[0110] Understandably, in the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application embodiment, by determining the target valve opening, the exhaust bypass valve can be controlled to open at the target valve opening when the vehicle is running under preset operating conditions, so as to reduce or eliminate the abnormal noise present in the turbocharger.

[0111] In one design, the turbocharger noise determination method provided in this application, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it also includes S701-S704.

[0112] S701, the turbocharger abnormal noise detection device acquires sound data under preset operating conditions.

[0113] S702, the turbocharger abnormal noise detection device determines the target clearance.

[0114] S703, the turbocharger noise detection device determines whether the sound data is within an acceptable range.

[0115] It should be noted that the turbocharger noise detection device determines whether the sound data is within an acceptable range based on the loudness value corresponding to the sound data and the preset loudness value. If the sound data is within an acceptable range, it is determined that there is no abnormal noise from the turbocharger; if the sound data is not within an acceptable range, step S704 is executed.

[0116] S704, the turbocharger noise detection device formulates an optimization plan for turbocharger noise.

[0117] It should be noted that the turbocharger noise optimization solution includes hardware and software adjustments. Hardware adjustments include adjusting the target clearance and adding gaskets to the target clearance, while software adjustments include adjusting the valve opening of the waste gas bypass valve.
