[0039] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters refer to similar items throughout the accompanying drawings, and once an item is defined in one drawing, it is not necessary to further define and explain it in subsequent drawings. In addition, all directional references (such as upper, lower, left, right, front, rear, bottom, etc.) are in relation to the particular drawing figure under discussion, and are made merely for purposes of explanation and illustration. Further, the terms "first", "second", and the like, are used herein only to describe one of the items, and do not imply or suggest relative importance of, or a number of, the indicated items.

[0040] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for quickly verifying durability of a manual transmission gear position is shown. In this embodiment, the method is used to quickly verify durability of a third gear position of a manual transmission. The method includes:

[0041] A1: selecting a third gear tooth root damage D 3GTR , a third gear tooth surface damage D 3GTF , a third gear shift fork wear W 3BC , and a third gear shift finger wear W 3HDZ as control parameters. The manual transmission is an important component of an automobile and is the core of the vehicle drive system. During gear shifting, internal parts contact each other and cause wear. Therefore, the wear of the parts is an important parameter for establishing a durability test specification.

[0042] A2: determining the number of gear shifts and target gear shift points of the third gear position of the manual transmission. The use of the third gear of the manual transmission includes pulling out and entering. According to the wear data of the control parameters of the third gear in the vehicle level power system assembly durability test, and in combination with the actual use of the user, the number of third gear operations and target gear shift points covering 90% of Chinese users are obtained, as shown in Table 1:

[0043] Table 1: Number of third gear operations and target gear shift points

[0044] Serial number Three-shift gear category Times Shift point 1 2nd gear to 3rd gear 30000 times [N2] 2 3rd gear to 4th gear 20000 times [N2] 3 4th gear to 3rd gear 20000 times V 3-4 ]]> 4 3rd gear to 2nd gear 30000 times V 2-3 ]]>

[0045] wherein N2 is the maximum allowable engine speed that can be reached in the second gear, V 2-3 is the vehicle speed when accelerating to 75% N max of the engine speed in the second gear, N max is the maximum allowable engine speed, V 3-4 is the vehicle speed when accelerating to 75% N max of the engine speed in the third gear.

[0046] A3: Drive the vehicle onto the runway and perform the first round of low-speed shifting. The vehicle can be driven manually or automatically. When driving automatically, it is necessary to pre-set the test route and special control points through GPS, and pre-install the automatic driving equipment and set the software. The automatic control principle is as follows: Figure 2 The runway can be a circular runway, a straight road or a zigzag road that can travel in both directions. In this embodiment, the vehicle is automatically driven and a 5.42 km long circular runway is selected.

[0047] In this embodiment, the preset acceleration value is 1.5m / s 2 , the preset value of seconds is 2s. When performing the first round of low-speed shifting operation, if Figure 3 As shown in Part A, after the vehicle enters the circular runway, it first moves at a speed of 1.5m / s 2 Accelerate with the acceleration, shift up when the engine speed reaches N2, shift up to third gear one by one and hold for 2 seconds; then shift to second gear and release the accelerator to coast to V 1-2 Then maintain for 2 seconds; again, the vehicle moves at 1.5m / s 2 Accelerate with the acceleration, shift up when the engine speed reaches N2, shift up to the third gear and hold it for 2 seconds; finally, shift to the second gear and release the accelerator to coast. V1-2 Repeat the above operation 10,000 times and then stop.

[0048] Among them, V 1-2 Accelerate to first gear until the engine speed is 75%N max The vehicle speed at that time.

[0049] A4: Perform the second round of low-speed shifting operation, such as Figure 3 As shown in Part B, first, the vehicle moves at a speed of 1.5 m / s 2 Accelerate with the acceleration, shift up when the engine speed reaches N2, shift up to the fourth gear one by one and hold it for 2 seconds; then, shift to the third gear and release the accelerator to glide to V 2-3 Shift to the second gear; finally, continue to release the accelerator and glide to V 1-2 Repeat the above operation 10,000 times and then stop.

[0050] A5: The autonomous vehicle enters a 5.42km long circular runway and performs high-speed gear shifting operations, such as Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0051] A51: 1.5m / s 2 Accelerate at full speed, shift up when the engine speed reaches N2, and shift up step by step to third gear;

[0052] A52: Shift to third gear and continue at 1.5 m / s 2acceleration, the engine speed reaches N2, the gear is switched to fourth gear;

[0053] A53: After the gear is switched to fourth gear, the vehicle continues to accelerate at the acceleration of 1.5 m / s 2 , the engine speed reaches N2, and the gear is maintained for 2 seconds;

[0054] A54: The throttle is released to V 3-4 , the gear is switched to third gear, and the gear is maintained for 2 seconds;

[0055] After the above steps A52-A54 are repeated 10,000 times, the test is stopped.

[0056] A6: After the test is completed, the manual transmission is disassembled, the gear tooth root damage D 3GTR and the gear tooth surface damage D 3GTF of the third gear are measured, the wear W 3BC of the third gear shift fork and the wear W 3HDZ of the third gear shift finger are calculated, and the results are verified; if the verification results meet the expectations, the test operation scheme is determined; if the verification results do not meet the expectations, the acceleration preset value and the second preset value are modified, and the steps A2-A5 are repeated.

[0057] Specifically, in terms of the verification results, the gear tooth root damage d 3GTR and the gear tooth surface damage d 3GTF of the third gear of the user are obtained; if 50%≤d 3GTR / D 3GTR ≤200%, and 50%≤user D 3GTF / D 3GTF ≤200%, and W 3BC ≤0.5 mm, and W 3HDZ ≤0.5 mm, the verification results meet the expectations.

[0058] In this embodiment, two vehicles are also selected to perform a rapid verification durability test A of the third gear of the manual transmission and a vehicle-level power system assembly durability test B, after the test is completed, the manual transmission is disassembled and the related dimensions are measured, and the results are shown in Table 2 as follows:

[0059] Table 2 Comparison of control parameter results after test

[0060] Control parameter Actual Third gear tooth root damage D 3GTR ]]> d 3GTR / A-D 3GTR =0.98, A-D 3GTR / B-D 3GTR =0.99]]> Three-gear gear tooth surface damage D 3GTF ]]> d 3GTR / A-D 3GTR =0.97, A-D 3GTR / B-D 3GTR =1.01]]> Wear amount W of three-shaft shift fork 3BC ]]> A-W 3BC = 0.06 mm, B-W 3BC = 0.05 mm]]> Wear amount W of the third shift fork 3HDZ ]]> A-W 3HDZ = 0.07 mm, B-W 3HDZ = 0.06 mm]]>

[0061] At the same time, the test method for rapid verification of the durability of the third gear of the manual transmission, the test cycle and the cost of the vehicle-level power system assembly durability test and the vehicle-level transmission special shift durability test are compared as shown in Table 3:

[0062] Table 3 Comparison of test cycle and cost of the present application and prior art

[0063] Test method Period (days) Cost (ten thousand yuan) Durability test method of manual transmission three-gear 40 10 Vehicle level power system assembly durability test 120 40 Vehicle level transmission special shift durability test 90 30

[0064] It can be seen that, in the case of results in line with expectations, the method of rapid verification of the three-gear durability of the manual gearbox adopted in the embodiment has a more obvious period shortening and cost reduction.

[0065] The specific embodiments of the present application are described above, and through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical idea of the present application.
