Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automobile design and manufacturing, and specifically to a method, device, storage medium, and apparatus for designing a gear shifter based on the Hall effect. Background Technology

[0002] A Hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor that utilizes the Hall effect. The Hall effect is described as follows: When an electric current passes through a conductor located in a magnetic field, the magnetic field exerts a force on the electrons in the conductor perpendicular to the direction of electron motion, thereby creating a voltage difference across the conductor. For example, if a control current I is passed through the two ends of a semiconductor wafer, and a uniform magnetic field with magnetic induction intensity B is applied perpendicular to the wafer, then a potential difference U will be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field. H The Hall effect is a semiconductor material used to create a device that can sense magnetic field strength, called a Hall element. Hall elements have many advantages, such as sensitivity to magnetic fields, small size, simple structure, and long lifespan, and are therefore widely used in measurement, computer, and automotive fields.

[0003] The working principle of a Hall effect-based gear shifter is as follows: when a magnet approaches or moves away, resulting in a change in magnetic flux, the Hall element outputs different voltage values. Based on these voltage values, the current gear is determined as D, M, or another gear. Because automatic gear shifters utilize electromagnetic triggering, a permanent magnet triggers the Hall sensor, replacing traditional mechanical contact shifting with non-contact control. This reduces the occurrence of component failures due to long-term mechanical wear, increasing shifting convenience and safety. Furthermore, the development and application of electric and hybrid vehicles have promoted the use of automatic gear shifters. The stability of the gear shifter's operation is crucial to the stable operation of the vehicle; therefore, improving the accuracy of Hall effect-based gear shifters is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] This invention provides a Hall effect-based gear shifter design method. First, a finite element simulation of the Hall sensor is performed. Then, the collected experimental data is compared with the simulation results to ensure the reliability and applicability of the simulation model. Next, machine learning methods are used to optimize the simulation results to obtain the optimal gear shifter design parameters. Finally, a prototype is manufactured using the optimal gear shifter design parameters. This invention also provides structural models for different prototypes. By utilizing various magnet motion modes, Hall sensors under different operating conditions are designed, solving the problem of long design cycles for automotive gear shifters and improving the efficiency of gear shifter development. This invention also provides a Hall effect-based gear shifter design device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a Hall effect-based gear shifter design apparatus.

[0054] Firstly, see [the following] Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a gear shifter design method based on the Hall effect, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S1: Obtain an existing gear shifter and conduct an experiment to collect magnetic field strength data for each gear position in the gear shifter; the magnetic field strength data is the magnetic field strength in the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0056] Existing gear shifter fixtures include two types: linear movement and rocker arm movement. Specifically, experiments can be conducted using a linear movement gear shifter fixture, and the magnetic field strength data in three directions for each gear can be collected by a host computer. In this invention, the gears include D, S, P, and N.

[0057] S2: Establish a finite element model of the gear shifter and perform finite element simulation to obtain the magnetic field strength data of each gear in the finite element model.

[0058] Specifically, a finite element model including a magnet and a magnetic sensor chip of the same size as in step S1 can be created in the Ansys Electromagnetic module. Finite element simulation is then performed. The magnetic field strength data in the three directions for each gear position obtained in step S1 is compared with the magnetic field strength data in the three directions for each gear position obtained from the finite element simulation. The magnetic field strength data for each gear position is verified to ensure the reliability of the finite element simulation. This allows subsequent finite element models to be built using the same modeling method, ensuring the applicability of the finite element model method of this invention.

[0059] S3: Compare the obtained magnetic field strength data of the shifter with the magnetic field strength data of the finite element model to verify the simulation reliability of the finite element model.

[0060] That is, by comparing the obtained magnetic field strength data of the gear shifter with the magnetic field strength data of the finite element model, the reliability of the finite element modeling method described in this invention is ensured, so that the same modeling method can be used to model finite element models of gear shifters with different structural types in the future.

[0061] S4: Based on neural network models and finite element models that have passed simulation reliability verification, optimize the gear shifter design parameters to determine the optimal gear shifter design parameters. Neural network models include random forest, linear regression, XGBOX, AdaBoosting, etc.

[0062] In this invention, the design parameters of the gear shifter are optimized based on a neural network model and a finite element model that has passed simulation reliability verification, to determine the optimal gear shifter design parameters. Specific steps include:

[0063] S401: Obtain the finite element model that has passed the simulation reliability verification, and adjust the shifter design parameters of the obtained finite element model. The shifter design parameters include the magnet shape, magnet size, and relative position between the magnet and the magnetic sensitive chip. The relative position between the magnet and the magnetic sensitive chip includes the initial relative position and the relative position of the magnet and the magnetic sensitive chip at the end of their movement. Furthermore, the shifter design parameters may also include the magnet material.

[0064] S402: Perform finite element simulation on the adjusted finite element model, obtain simulation results, and determine the magnetoelectric conversion efficiency under different shifter design parameters through a neural network model;

[0065] To adjust the design parameters of the gear shifter, a single parameter adjustment method can be used. Each time, only one parameter in the gear shifter design parameters is adjusted, and then finite element simulation is performed again to obtain the simulation results.

[0066] S403: Compare the simulation results obtained after each finite element simulation to determine the optimal gear shifter design parameters.

[0067] The determination of the optimal shifter design parameters is as follows: After each adjustment of the shifter design parameters, a magnetic circuit model is established between the magnetic sensitive chip (sensitive element), the magnet (excitation magnetic source), and the target object (shifter). A high-gain magnetic circuit is constructed inside the sensor module. The parameters such as the spacing between the magnetic sensitive chips, the spacing between the magnetic sensitive chip and the signal disk, the spacing between the magnetic sensitive chip and the magnet, as well as the material and shape of the magnetic sensitive chip, are calculated using finite element design and simulation software. The magneto-electric conversion efficiency is optimized using machine learning methods such as neural network genetic algorithms to improve the magnetic signal conduction efficiency, further concentrate the magnetic field strength on the surface of the magnetic sensitive chip, and optimize the sensitivity of the sensor module. When the sensitivity is optimal, the optimal shifter design parameters can be obtained.

[0068] It should be noted that the motion of the magnets in the gear shifter includes linear motion, rotational motion, and rocker motion; the shape of the magnets in the gear shifter includes elongated and cylindrical shapes. After determining the optimal gear shifter design parameters, the process also includes prototyping the gear shifter based on the determined optimal gear shifter design parameters, and designing the gear shifter based on the Hall effect under different operating conditions to provide guidance for the actual production of the gear shifter.

[0071] Since there are many types of magnet motion and magnet shapes, a corresponding finite element model can be established based on the determined magnet motion and shape using the finite element model establishment method verified in step S2 of this invention. This allows for the determination of the magnet size and the relative position between the magnet and the magnetic sensitive chip in the shifter design parameters, so as to carry out the subsequent trial production of the shifter prototype.

[0072] S412: The magnet is mounted above the magnetic sensitive chip by means of a bracket, and the motion domain of the magnet is limited on the bracket; by limiting the motion domain of the magnet, the magnet can only move in the corresponding domain on the bracket.

[0073] S413: Drives the magnet to move above the magnetic sensor chip and collects magnetic field strength data when the magnet moves to different positions through a development board connected to the magnetic sensor chip.

[0074] S414: Converts magnetic field strength data into high and low level signals to represent different gear information, providing guidance for the actual production of gear shifters. Specifically, it compares the actual magnetic field strength data with the data provided in the magnetic sensor chip's product manual, thereby converting the collected magnetic field strength data into high and low level signals to represent different gear information.
