Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle assembly technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and computer equipment for determining the tightening torque of a bolt connection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bolted connections are one of the most common connection methods between automotive components, and the torque method is the most widely used tightening method. Bolt selection and tightening torque design are the key and challenging aspects of bolted connection system design. Improper bolt selection or unreasonable tightening torque will lead to a series of connection failure problems such as torque attenuation, bolt loosening, surface crushing, breakage, and abnormal noise.

[0003] The existing bolt selection and tightening torque determination methods mainly rely on experience and benchmarking. In particular, the bolt selection is based on experience and benchmarking, referring to the similar structures of the platform vehicle and the benchmark vehicle. The tightening torque setting mainly follows the torque setting results of the same specification bolts in the torque list of the platform vehicle, but does not take into account the differences of the new structure. This may result in insufficient or excessive design, and cannot guarantee the reliability of the bolt connection.

[0004] The tightening torque calculation method uses the general formula for tightening torque: T=K·F·d. However, the torque coefficient K and the preload F are affected by many factors. The existing calculation method does not take all factors into account and does not fully verify the calculation results, resulting in low reliability of bolt connections.

[0005] Therefore, how to comprehensively verify the selected bolts when determining the tightening torque in order to improve the reliability of bolted connections has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0079] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the tightening torque of a bolt connection according to Embodiment 1 of this application. This method for determining the tightening torque of a bolt connection is applied to computer equipment. Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the tightening torque of this bolt connection may include the following steps:

[0080] Step S101: Analyze the force data at the bolt connection location to determine the maximum shear working load, maximum axial working load, and maximum torsional load at the bolt connection location.

[0081] In this application, the force data at the bolted connection location can be obtained by measurement under actual working conditions, or by simulation analysis of different working conditions at the bolted connection location based on Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) in engineering design. The purpose of the analysis is to obtain the maximum shear load, the maximum axial load, and the maximum torsional load at the bolted connection location under all working conditions or all known working conditions.

[0082] Shear load, also known as transverse load, is denoted by F. Q The unit is N, and the maximum shear working load is F. Qmax Axial working load, also known as axial load, is denoted by F. A The unit is N, and the maximum axial working load is F. Amax Torsional load is represented by M. Y It indicates that the unit is Nm.

[0083] Step S102: Obtain the bolt parameters corresponding to any type of bolt. Based on the maximum shear working load, maximum axial working load, maximum torsional load and bolt parameters, calculate the minimum assembly preload and maximum assembly preload of the bolt.

[0084] In this application, different bolt models have different parameters, and therefore, the corresponding theoretical assembly preload is different for different bolt models.

[0085] The theoretical preload is related to the minimum anti-loosening preload of the bolt. The minimum anti-loosening preload of the bolt should take into account the changes in preload caused by load and the effect of relaxation force caused by deformation. Of course, the minimum anti-loosening preload can also be the theoretical minimum anti-loosening preload of the bolt (unrelated to load changes).

[0086] Optionally, based on the maximum shear working load, maximum axial working load, maximum torsional load, and bolt parameters, the minimum and maximum assembly preload of the bolt are calculated, including:

[0087] The minimum anti-loosening preload is calculated using the following formula:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, F Vmin To minimize the preload for loosening, F Qmax For the maximum shear working load, q F μ represents the number of transverse load friction surfaces of the bolt. Tmin q is the anti-slip coefficient of the bolt mating surface. M r is the number of friction surfaces of the bolt under torsional load. a Let F be the friction radius of the bolt, Φ be the internal force coefficient of the bolt, and F be the friction radius of the bolt. Amax The maximum axial working load is given by ΔF, where ΔF is the bolt relaxation force and M is the maximum axial working load. Y This represents the maximum torsional load.

[0090] The formulas for calculating the minimum and maximum assembly preload are as follows:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, F Mmin For minimum assembly preload, F Mmax κ is the maximum assembly preload, α is the minimum preload safety factor, and α is the maximum assembly preload. A The tightening factor is given by the following formula:

[0093]

[0094] Where, μ smin μ is the minimum thread friction coefficient of the bolt. wmax μ is the maximum bearing surface friction coefficient of the bolt. wmin This is the minimum bearing surface friction coefficient of the bolt.

[0095] Among them, considering that the minimum anti-loosening preload is related to the load and deformation, the above calculation formula is used for calculation, that is, the maximum shear working load, the maximum axial working load and the maximum torsional load are introduced.

[0096] The minimum assembly preload is a multiple of the minimum anti-loosening preload. This multiple is the minimum preload safety factor, which can be set according to requirements or tests. Furthermore, this multiple can be 1.2 to 1.4.

[0097] In addition, the maximum permissible assembly preload can be calculated. This maximum permissible assembly preload is related to the bolt parameters. Generally, the preload should not exceed this maximum permissible assembly preload when tightening the bolt. The formula for calculating the maximum permissible assembly preload is as follows:

[0098]

[0099] In the formula, F Mzul The maximum permissible assembly preload, A0 is the stress cross-sectional area, v R R represents the utilization rate of bolt yield strength. p0.2min d1 is the bolt yield strength, d2 is the pitch diameter of the external thread, d0 is the minimum cross-sectional diameter, and μ is the minimum cross-sectional diameter. smin is the minimum thread friction coefficient, and P is the thread pitch.

[0100] Step S103: Check whether the parameters characterized as preload and / or the parameters characterized as load meet the verification conditions.

[0101] In this application, the verification conditions include at least one of the following: surface crushing verification, working stress verification, shear stress verification, and alternating stress verification.

[0102] The parameters characterized as preload can refer to the maximum assembly preload, minimum assembly preload, etc., while the parameters characterized as loads can refer to shear load, axial load, torsional load, etc. Among them, the parameters characterized as preload are related to surface crushing check and working stress check, while the parameters characterized as loads are related to working stress check, shear stress check and alternating stress check.

[0103] Optionally, when the verification conditions include surface crush verification, the following may also be included:

[0104] Obtain the minimum yield strength of the materials being connected, and determine the minimum stress area and internal force coefficient of the bolt from the bolt parameters;

[0105] Multiply the minimum yield strength by the minimum stress area to obtain the first product result, and multiply the internal force coefficient by the maximum axial working load to obtain the second product result;

[0106] The verification criteria for whether parameters characterized as preload and / or parameters characterized as load meet the following include:

[0107] Check whether the maximum assembly preload is less than the difference between the first product result and the second product result.

[0108] Under tightening conditions, the maximum surface pressure on the connected parts should be less than their crush strength; otherwise, plastic deformation and surface crushing will occur. Surface crushing can lead to adverse effects such as reduced preload and changes in the coefficient of friction, resulting in instability in the bolted connection system and causing problems such as bolt loosening and torque attenuation.

[0109] The main cause of surface crushing is excessive tightening torque or insufficient bearing area, leading to surface stress on the connected parts exceeding their own crushing strength. This causes plastic deformation of the connected parts, resulting in torque attenuation. Methods to prevent surface crushing include: correctly designing the tightening torque to control axial preload; increasing the bearing surface area by enlarging the flange face, adding flat gaskets, and reducing the diameter of through holes; and improving surface crushing strength through heat treatment, surface treatment, and material replacement.

[0110] Surface crushing verification requires comprehensive consideration of various working conditions under actual stress during and after tightening. The surface stress of the connected parts should be less than their crushing strength. During tightening, the clamping force of the connected parts is equal to the tensile force of the bolt. The condition for no surface crushing is as follows:

[0111]

[0112] In the formula, σ Mmax For the maximum assembly stress of the bolt, A min For the minimum stress area, σ cmin It represents the minimum yield strength of the materials being joined.

[0113] Under axial load, the clamping force of the connected parts and the bolt tensile force are no longer equal. Therefore, surface crushing checks must be performed on the connected parts at the bolt / nut flange and the mating surface, respectively. When the axial load is in the same direction as the bolt preload (bolt elongation), the pressure on the connected parts at the bolt or nut flange is the maximum. The condition for no surface crushing is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] In the formula, σ Bmax F is the maximum assembly stress of the bolt when the axial load and the preload are in the same direction. Bmax This is the maximum preload of the bolt when the axial load and the preload are in the same direction.

[0116] When the axial load is opposite to the direction of the bolt preload (bolt elongation), the pressure on the connected parts is at its maximum at the mating surface, and the surface does not crush under the following conditions:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula, σ Cmax F is the maximum assembly stress of the bolt when the axial load is opposite to the preload. CmaxThis is the maximum preload of the bolt when the axial load is opposite to the direction of the preload.

[0119] Optionally, when the verification conditions include working stress verification, checking whether the parameters characterized by preload and / or the parameters characterized by load meet the verification conditions includes:

[0120] The formula for calculating the maximum preload of the bolt under working conditions is as follows:

[0121] F Bmax =F Mmax +Φ·F Amax , of which F Bmax For maximum preload, F Amax For the maximum axial working load, F Mmax The maximum assembly preload is Φ, where Φ is the internal force coefficient.

[0122] The maximum tensile stress is calculated based on the maximum preload, using the following formula:

[0123] σ Zmax =F Bmax / A0, where σ Zmax The maximum tensile stress is A0, and the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the bolt is A0.

[0124] The formula for calculating the maximum torsional stress is as follows:

[0125] Where, τ max The maximum torsional stress is given by d2, where d2 is the pitch diameter of the bolt's external thread, P is the bolt's pitch, and μ is the maximum torsional stress. smin d is the minimum thread friction coefficient of the bolt, and d0 is the minimum cross-sectional diameter of the bolt;

[0126] The formula for calculating the composite stress of the bolt under working conditions is as follows:

[0127] Where, σ red,B For composite stress, k τ This is the working stress check coefficient;

[0128] Check whether the combined stress is less than the yield strength of the bolt material.

[0129] To prevent bolt loosening due to insufficient axial preload or bolt yielding or breakage due to excessive preload, assembly preload verification is generally required. However, bolt preload changes under external working loads; therefore, simply verifying the assembly preload is insufficient, and working stress verification is also necessary. Under working loads, the combined working stress on the bolt should be less than its yield strength. Even if the tightening and assembly process is flawless, excessive working stress can cause the bolt to yield or break under working conditions. If the working stress does not meet requirements, consider upgrading the bolt's performance grade to increase its yield strength, increasing the nominal bolt diameter to increase the stress cross-sectional area, and thus reducing the working stress.

[0130] Optionally, when the verification conditions include shear stress verification, the following may also be included:

[0131] Determine the shear stress area and thread shear strength of the bolt from the bolt parameters;

[0132] Multiplying the shear stress area by the thread shear strength yields the third product result;

[0133] The verification criteria for whether parameters characterized as preload and / or parameters characterized as load meet the following include:

[0134] Check whether the maximum shear working load is less than the result of the third product.

[0135] To prevent bolts from breaking under lateral loads, the maximum shear stress should meet the following requirements:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, τ Qmax For the maximum shear stress, A τ For the shear stress area, τ B This refers to the thread shear strength.

[0138] Under operating conditions, the maximum shear stress on a bolt should be less than its shear strength. Excessive shear stress can lead to lateral misalignment of the connected parts and shear fracture of the bolt under lateral loads. Measures to prevent excessive shear stress include: improving the bolt's performance grade to increase its shear strength, and increasing the bolt's nominal diameter to increase the stress cross-sectional area, thereby reducing shear stress.

[0139] Optionally, when the verification conditions include alternating stress verification, the following may also be included:

[0140] Determine the stress cross-sectional area, internal force coefficient, and fatigue limit of the bolt from its parameters;

[0141] Multiplying the stress cross-sectional area by the fatigue limit yields the fourth product result;

[0142] The verification criteria for whether parameters characterized as preload and / or parameters characterized as load meet the following include:

[0143] Check whether the product of the maximum axial working load and the internal force coefficient is less than the result of the fourth product.

[0144] To prevent bolt fatigue fracture failure, the following conditions must be met:

[0145] σ α <σ AS

[0146] In the formula, σ AS The fatigue limit, A represents the fatigue stress amplitude of a bolt. s Where Φ is the stress cross-sectional area and Φ is the internal force coefficient.

[0147] Under vibration loads, the alternating stress on a bolt during operation should be less than its fatigue limit. If the fatigue stress amplitude exceeds the fatigue limit, fatigue fracture will occur at the threads. The purpose of alternating stress checking is to verify whether the bolt has sufficient fatigue strength. Measures to prevent bolt fatigue fracture include: increasing bolt size to reduce the bolt fatigue stress amplitude, and optimizing the manufacturing process by lowering the performance grade to improve bolt fatigue strength.

[0148] Step S104: If the parameters characterized as preload and / or the parameters characterized as load meet the verification conditions, then the minimum tightening torque and the maximum tightening torque are calculated based on the bolt parameters, the minimum assembly preload, and the maximum assembly preload.

[0149] In this application, the minimum and maximum tightening torques are used to guide the tightening of control bolts. When the aforementioned preload and load parameters meet the verification conditions, the minimum and maximum tightening torques for the corresponding bolts are calculated. In use, maintaining the tightening torque between the minimum and maximum tightening torques satisfies the preload requirement and also meets the aforementioned verification conditions.
