Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile active rear wing, and in particular to a method for calculating the circumference tolerance of an automobile active rear wing. Background Art

[0002] The active rear wing of the car has become very popular in China in recent years because of its high appearance, strong sense of technology, and ability to block the airflow that was originally going to flow downward, so that the air resistance forms a downward pressure, which can offset the lift as much as possible, effectively control the downward pressure of the airflow, and reduce the drag coefficient accordingly, thus achieving the effect of reducing fuel. Compared with the previous ordinary tailgate, it has higher requirements for manufacturing precision. Before, the tailgate was not equipped with an active rear wing, and the tailgate structure was relatively simple. Now with the active rear wing, the shape is complex, and there are many matching gaps, so the manufacturing requirements are higher.

[0003] In the related technology, the simulation software uses a self-positioning assembly method when calculating the tolerances around the active rear wing model of a car. The self-positioning assembly method is to perform simulation calculations under a purely theoretical state, ignoring the fact that parts can deform themselves due to the influence of tolerances, resulting in inaccurate tolerance calculations around the active rear wing model, leading to high subsequent manufacturing costs and poor assembly quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] A method for calculating the tolerance of the active rear wing circumference of an automobile is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The active rear wing circumference can be designed using a three-dimensional dimension chain. Through simulation calculation of the three-dimensional dimension chain, the current manufacturing capabilities can be perfectly presented, making the actual vehicle manufacturing results more refined and more beautiful.

[0050] It should be noted that the X-axis direction in the accompanying drawings is the length direction of the vehicle body, the Y-axis direction is the width direction of the vehicle body, and the Z-axis direction is the height direction of the vehicle body. The three-dimensional dimension tolerance analysis software used can be 3DCS software.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, a method for calculating the circumference tolerance of an active rear wing of an automobile is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step S100: assembling the rear center position lamp model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3, the active rear wing model 4, and the trunk lid model 1 with the vehicle body assembly model in the three-dimensional dimension tolerance analysis software to restrict the movement of the rear center position lamp model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3, the active rear wing model 4, and the trunk lid model 1 along the X, Y, and Z axes and the rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes;

[0053] Step S200: adding constraint points to at least one of the rear center position light model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3 and the trunk lid model 1, and calculating the circumferential tolerance value of the active rear wing model 4 and the trunk lid model 1, so that the circumferential tolerance value of the active rear wing model 4 is within the target range value.

[0054] Among them, in the three-dimensional dimensional tolerance analysis software, the rear center position light model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3, the active rear wing model 4 and the trunk lid model 1 are assembled with the body assembly model to limit the movement of the rear center position light model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3, the active rear wing model 4 and the trunk lid model 1 along the X, Y and Z axes and the rotation around the X, Y and Z axes; adding constraint points to at least one of the rear center position light model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3 and the trunk lid model 1 can make the rear center position light model 2, the rear wing trim panel model 3 or the trunk lid model 1 simulate an assembly condition close to the actual deformation, so that the circumferential tolerance value of the active rear wing model 4 is within the target range value, thereby improving the problems of high subsequent manufacturing cost and poor assembly quality.

[0055] In step S100, if Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0056] Step S100-1: Use the first constraint point T1 and the second constraint point T2 to position the rear center position light model 2 on the trunk lid model 1, and restrict the rear center position light model 2 from moving along the Z axis and rotating around the X axis; wherein, the first constraint point T1 and the second constraint point T2 are spaced apart along the Y axis; wherein, in order to facilitate assembly of the first constraint point T1 and the second constraint point T2, there is a 0.2 mm margin of activity between the hole and the pin. In the theoretical model, the pin is in the middle of the hole, but in reality, the rear center position light model 2 will be affected by gravity, and during on-site assembly, the pin will only contact the hole near the -Z end. Therefore, during assembly, set the assembly angle in "Options" to -30° to 30°, and the pin and the hole will only contact at the lower edge, which is more in line with the actual assembly situation.

[0057] Step S100-2: using the third constraint point T3 to position the rear center position lamp model 2 on the trunk lid model 1, and restricting the rear center position lamp model 2 from moving along the Y axis; wherein the third constraint point T3 is located between the first constraint point T1 and the second constraint point T2;

[0058] Step S100-2: Use three fourth constraint points T4 to position the rear center position light model 2 on the trunk lid model 1, restricting the rear center position light model 2 from moving along the X-axis, rotating around the Y-axis and rotating around the Z-axis; wherein the three fourth constraint points T4 are spaced apart along the Y-axis.

[0059] Wherein, in step S200, if Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0060] Step S200-1: The number of fourth constraint points T4 is sequentially increased along the Y-axis direction until the circumferential tolerance value of the rear center position lamp model 2 is within the target range value. Increasing the number of fourth constraint points T4 can constrain the rear center position lamp model 2 to position it, so that the rear center position lamp model 2 is deformed to be more in line with the actual assembly situation, and the circumferential tolerance between the rear center position lamp model 2 and the trunk lid model 1 is increased, thereby increasing the circumferential tolerance range value of the active rear wing model 4.

[0061] Further, in step S200, if Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may also be included:

[0062] Step S200-2: The number of fourth constraint points T4 is increased in sequence along the Y-axis direction, and the two outermost fourth constraint points T4 are offset in the direction away from each other along the Y-axis until the circumferential tolerance value of the rear center position lamp model 2 is within the target range value. Among them, the two outermost fourth constraint points T4 are moved outward, that is, the tightening points are moved outward, and the positioning points are moved outward, resulting in a reduction in the amount of free movement of the outermost measurement points, and the calculation results will also become smaller, thereby increasing the circumferential tolerance between the rear center position lamp model 2 and the trunk lid model 1, thereby increasing the circumferential tolerance range value of the active rear wing model 4.

[0063] In step S100, if Figure 3 As shown, the following steps may also be included:

[0064] Step S100-4: Use two seventh constraint points T7 to position the rear wing trim panel model 3 on the trunk lid model 1, and restrict the rear wing trim panel model 3 from moving along the X-axis and rotating around the Z-axis; wherein, the two seventh constraint points T7 are spaced apart along the Y-axis; specifically, in order to facilitate the rear wing trim panel model 3 to be well snapped in, there is a single-sided activity margin of 0.1mm between the seventh constraint points T7. In traditional assembly, the locating pins of the rear wing trim panel model 3 will be at any position in the single-sided activity space of 0.1mm. However, due to inertia during the driving of the car, the rear wing trim panel model 3 will be pushed in the +X direction and -X direction. This situation is what will occur during the driving process of the actual car. In order to meet the simulation close to reality, when performing simulation calculations, the design "Options" is only at 0° and 360°.

[0065] Step S100-5: using the eighth constraint point T8 to position the spoiler trim panel model 3 on the trunk lid model 1, and restricting the movement of the spoiler trim panel model 3 along the Y axis; wherein the eighth constraint point T8 is located between the two seventh constraint points T7;

[0066] Step S100-6: Use two fifth constraint points T5 to position the rear wing trim panel model 3 on the rear center position light model 2, and use two sixth constraint points T6 to position the rear wing trim panel model 3 on the trunk lid model 1, restricting the rear center position light model 2 from moving along the Z axis and rotating around the X axis and the Y axis; wherein the two fifth constraint points T5 are spaced apart along the Y axis, the two sixth constraint points T6 are spaced apart along the Y axis, and the fifth constraint point T5 and the sixth constraint point T6 are spaced apart along the X axis.

[0067] Among them, the active rear wing model 4 can automatically rise when the car is driving to reduce air resistance. If the sheet metal is leaked during the raising process, it will affect the overall appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to first assemble a rear wing trim panel model 3 on the trunk lid model 1, and then assemble the active rear wing model 4 on the rear wing trim panel model 3. In this way, when the active rear wing model 4 is raised, the rear wing trim panel model 3 with better appearance is also exposed.

[0068] In this step, the tail wing trim panel model 3 is assembled on the trunk lid model 1 in a self-positioning manner, and the "User-DLLMove" assembly is used in the software to simulate this process; the fifth constraint point T5 is the tail wing trim panel model 3 assembled on the rear center position light model 2, and the sixth constraint point T6 is the buckle assembled on the trunk lid model 1. The fifth constraint point T5 and the sixth constraint point T6 are combined to control the movement of the tail wing trim panel model 3 along the Z direction, and the rotation around the X axis and the Y axis, with a total of 3 degrees of freedom. The seventh constraint point T7 can be the two positioning pins of the tail wing trim panel model 3 positioned on the trunk lid model 1. The two seventh constraint points T7 control the movement of the tail wing trim panel model 3 along the X direction and the rotation around the Z axis. The eighth constraint point T8 limits the movement of the tail wing trim panel model 3 along the Y direction. In this way, the tail wing trim panel model 3 is completely positioned.

[0069] Further, in step S200, if Figure 3 As shown, the following steps may also be included:

[0070] Step S200-3: The number of fifth constraint points T5 is increased in sequence along the Y-axis direction until the circumferential tolerance value of the tail wing trim panel model 3 is within the target range. The tail wing trim panel model 3 adopts an over-constrained assembly method. The tail wing trim panel model 3 is a plastic part with a relatively soft material. The fifth constraint point T5 attachment will make it develop in the direction of improving the accuracy, so a few T5s must be added. After the increase, the simulation calculation results will be better.

[0071] In step S100, if Figure 6 As shown, the following steps may also be included:

[0072] Step S100-7: using three thirteenth constraint points T13 to position the trunk lid model 1 on the vehicle body assembly model, restricting the trunk lid model 1 from moving along the Z axis and rotating around the X and Y axes; wherein the first thirteenth constraint point T13 and the second thirteenth constraint point T13 are spaced apart along the Y axis direction and are distributed on opposite sides of the trunk lid model 1, and the third thirteenth constraint point T13 and the first thirteenth constraint point T13 are located on the same side of the trunk lid model 1;

[0073] Step S100-8: using two fourteenth constraint points T14 to position the trunk lid model 1 on the vehicle body assembly model, restricting the trunk lid model 1 from moving along the X axis and rotating around the Z axis; wherein the fourteenth constraint points T14 are spaced apart along the Y axis direction;

[0074] Step S100-9: Use the seventh selected point t4a to position the trunk lid model 1 on the vehicle body assembly model to restrict the trunk lid model 1 from moving along the Y axis; wherein the seventh selected point t4a is located between the first thirteenth constraint point T13 and the third thirteenth constraint point T13.

[0075] Among them, the thirteenth constraint point T13, the fourteenth constraint point T14 and the seventh selected point t4a can quickly complete the positioning of the trunk lid model 1 on the vehicle body assembly model.

[0076] Further, in step S200, if Figure 3 As shown, the following steps may also be included:

[0077] Step S200-4: Add a fourth thirteenth constraint point T13 to the trunk lid model 1, and manually adjust the gap difference between the third thirteenth constraint point T13 and the fourth thirteenth constraint point T13 until the gap difference is within the target range value; wherein, the third thirteenth constraint point T13 and the fourth thirteenth constraint point T13 are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction and distributed on opposite sides of the trunk lid model 1.

[0078] Furthermore, after step S200-4, the following steps may also be included:

[0079] Step S200-5: adding an eighth selected point t4b to the trunk lid model 1, and fitting a fourth fitting constraint point T4 through the seventh selected point t4a and the eighth selected point t4b; wherein the seventh selected point t4a and the eighth selected point t4b are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction and are distributed on opposite sides of the trunk lid model 1;

[0080] The fourth fitting constraint point T4 is manually adjusted until the face differences at the seventh selected point t4a and the eighth selected point t4b are within the target range.

[0081] Furthermore, after step S200-4 or step S200-5, the following steps may also be included:

[0082] Step S200 - 6 : Manually adjust the face differences at the two fourteenth constraint points T14 until the face differences are within the target range.

[0083] Specifically, because the trunk lid model 1 is an appearance part and is rigid, it cannot be assembled by forced deformation, so the high-point assembly method is used for adjustment and assembly, and multiple manual adjustment assembly points are added. The face difference at the two thirteenth constraint points T13 on the upper left and right sides is manually adjusted to within the qualified range, and the position of the fourth fitting constraint point T4 is adjusted to make the gaps at the seventh selected point t4a and the eighth selected point t4b consistent with each other on the left and right sides within the qualified range. The face difference at the two fourteenth constraint points T14 is manually adjusted until the face difference is within the target range value.

[0084] In the above embodiment, after step S100-6, the following steps may also be included:

[0085] Step S100-6-1: Assembling and constraining the active tail wing model 4 to the tooling model;

[0086] Step S100 - 6 - 2 : Constrain the tooling model to be assembled on the trunk lid model 1 .

[0087] Specifically, in step S100-6-1, if Figure 4 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0088] Step S100-6-1-1: Use two ninth constraint points T9 and the first fitting constraint point t1 to position the active tail wing model 4 on the tooling model, and restrict the active tail wing model 4 from moving along the Z axis, rotating around the X axis, and rotating around the Y axis; wherein the two ninth constraint points T9 are spaced apart along the Y axis, and the first fitting constraint point t1 is located in the middle area of ​​the rear end of the active tail wing model 4;

[0089] Step S100-6-1-2: Use the second fitting constraint point t2 to restrict the active tail wing model 4 from moving along the Y axis; wherein the second fitting constraint point t2 is located between the two ninth constraint points T9 and is spaced apart from the first fitting constraint point t1 along the X axis;

[0090] Step S100-6-1-3: Use two tenth constraint points T10 to restrict the active tail wing model 4 from moving along the X-axis and rotating around the Z-axis; wherein the tenth constraint point T10 is located between the ninth constraint point T9 and the second fitting constraint point t2.

[0091] In order to ensure the installation accuracy of the active tail model 4, the active tail model 4 can be first assembled to the tooling model, and then assembled to the trunk lid model 1 through the tooling model; the "SixPlane Move" and "Dynamic Points" commands are used in the software to simulate the process of assembling the active tail model 4 to the tooling model, wherein the first selected point t1a and the second selected point t1b use the "Dynamic Points" command to fit the midpoint of these two assembly points, that is, the first fitting constraint point t1, and the two ninth constraint points T9 and the first fitting constraint point t1 restrict the active tail model 4 to move along the Z axis, rotate around the X axis, and rotate around the Y axis. The third selected point t2a and the fourth selected point t2b use the "Dynamic Points" command to fit the midpoint of these two assembly points, that is, the second fitting constraint point t2, and the second fitting constraint point t2 restricts the active tail model 4 to move along the Y axis. The two tenth constraint points T10 restrict the movement of the active tail model 4 along the Y axis. In this way, the active tail model 4 is completely positioned.

[0092] Among them, in step S100-6-2, if Figure 5 As shown, the following steps may be included:

[0093] Step S100-6-2-1: Use four eleventh constraint points T11 to over-constrain the tooling model to the trunk lid model 1, and restrict the tooling model from moving along the Z axis and rotating around the X axis and the Y axis; wherein, the four eleventh constraint points T11 are distributed around the tooling model; specifically, the tooling model is rigid, and traditional assembly will only select three points here for simulated assembly, but in actual assembly, any three points may be in contact, and each point has a tolerance. Selecting any three points for simulated assembly is inconsistent with the actual situation, and high-point assembly is used here, with four points for assembly, and then identifying the three points with the highest tolerance impact, and making these three points in contact, so as to simulate the actual situation.

[0094] Step S100-6-2-2: using two twelfth constraint points T12 to over-constrain the tooling model to the trunk lid model 1, restricting the tooling model from moving along the X-axis and rotating around the Z-axis; wherein the twelfth constraint points T12 are spaced apart along the Y-axis;

[0095] Step S100-6-2-3: Use the third fitting constraint point t3 to restrict the movement of the tooling model along the Y axis.

[0096] Among them, the eleventh constraint point T11 is the tooling model clamped on the trunk lid model 1, limiting the movement of the tooling model along the Z axis, and the rotation around the X axis and Y axis, a total of 3 degrees of freedom. The twelfth constraint point T12 is the gap on the tooling model, which sticks to the trunk lid model 1 on one side and the active tail wing model 4 on the other side, so that the movement of the tooling model along the X axis and the rotation around the Z axis can be controlled. In the software, the "Hight PointMove" and "Dynamic Points" commands are used to simulate the assembly, in which the fifth selected point t3a and the sixth selected point t3b use the "Dynamic Points" command to fit the midpoint of these two assembly points, that is, the third fitting constraint point t3. The third fitting constraint point t3 also uses the gap to stick to the trunk lid model 1 on one side and the active tail wing model 4 on the other side to control the movement of the tooling model along the Y axis. In this way, the tooling model is completely positioned.
