Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of design optimization, in particular to a method for predicting residual stress in the production of automobile suspension springs. Background Art

[0002] In automobile manufacturing, suspension springs are important components for load bearing and shock absorption, and their performance is directly related to the stability, safety and comfort of the entire vehicle. Suspension springs are usually made of steel or alloy materials through precision processing, which includes multiple process steps such as cold drawing, forging and heat treatment. These processes not only determine the geometric shape and mechanical properties of the suspension springs, but also introduce residual stress inside the spring material.

[0003] Residual stress refers to the stress that still exists in the material even after the external load is removed during the material processing. This stress is generated during processing, cooling and heat treatment. Residual stress is divided into residual tensile stress and residual compressive stress. Residual tensile stress usually weakens the fatigue resistance and crack growth resistance of the material, while residual compressive stress usually helps to improve the fatigue strength and crack growth resistance of the material.

[0004] For automobile suspension springs, the shot peening operation in the production of automobile suspension springs will produce residual compressive stress on the surface of the spring to reduce the influence of the surface residual tensile stress generated in the production process before the shot peening operation. Therefore, accurately predicting and controlling the surface residual stress of the spring after the shot peening operation in the production process is an important means to improve the performance of automobile suspension springs, extend the service life and ensure safety. However, in the current production process of automobile suspension springs, there are still some technical bottlenecks and challenges in the prediction and control of surface residual stress. The existing predictions of surface residual stress generated in the shot peening process are mostly based on shot peening parameters, while ignoring the influence of the characteristics of the spring itself on the surface residual stress, and the shot peening parameters are not controlled in combination with the surface roughness of the spring after shot peening, resulting in the inability to accurately optimize the shot peening parameters, which ultimately affects the quality and consistency of the product.

[0005] Therefore, a method for predicting residual stress in automobile suspension spring production is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0102]

[0103] In Table 3, the model number 1 is the shot peening prediction integrated model constructed by the present invention; the model number 2 is based on the model number 1, and only the spring shot peening parameters are used as the input of the model; the model number 3 is based on the model number 2, each sub-prediction model is integrated with equal weights; the model number 4 is the BP neural network used to predict the characteristic parameters of the second spring. It can be seen from Table 3 that the shot peening prediction integrated model provided by the present invention can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of the characteristic parameters of the second spring.

[0104] Reference Figure 1 In S30, it is determined whether the current spring shot peening parameters need to be adjusted according to the second spring characteristic parameters.

[0105] Further, refer to Figure 4 When the second spring characteristic parameter integrated prediction value meets the spring shot peening standard, the shot peening compliance prediction value is calculated according to the second spring characteristic parameter integrated prediction value; otherwise, it is determined that the current spring shot peening parameters need to be adjusted; the calculation formula of the shot peening compliance prediction value is:

[0107] in, It is expressed as the predicted value of shot peening compliance; It is expressed as the integrated predicted value of surface residual stress; Expressed as the set surface residual stress standard value, ; It is expressed as the integrated predicted value of residual compressive stress layer thickness; It is expressed as the integrated predicted value of surface roughness; It is expressed as the integrated prediction value of shot peening coverage; , , and They are expressed as residual stress coefficient, residual compressive stress layer thickness coefficient, roughness coefficient and shot peening coverage coefficient respectively; , , and The default value is 0.25, which can be modified according to the actual application;

[0108] When the shot peening compliance prediction value is greater than the set shot peening compliance standard value, it is determined that the current shot peening parameters do not need to be adjusted; otherwise, it is determined that the current spring shot peening parameters need to be adjusted.

[0109] In this embodiment, this step is to compare the integrated prediction values ​​of each parameter in the second spring characteristic parameter corresponding to the spring shot peening parameter separately, and to obtain the shot peening compliance prediction value in combination with the integrated prediction values ​​of each parameter; and to judge whether the current spring shot peening parameters need to be adjusted based on the results of the separate comparison of the integrated prediction values ​​of each parameter and the shot peening compliance prediction value. This method can more comprehensively evaluate the compliance of the second spring characteristic parameters of the automobile suspension spring after shot peening.

[0110] Furthermore, the spring shot peening standard includes: , , , When both are satisfied, it indicates that the second spring characteristic parameters meet the spring shot peening standard; otherwise, it indicates that the second spring characteristic parameters do not meet the spring shot peening standard; wherein, , , and They are respectively expressed as the integrated prediction value of surface residual stress, the integrated prediction value of residual compressive stress layer thickness, the integrated prediction value of surface roughness and the integrated prediction value of shot peening coverage; , , and They are respectively represented by the set standard value of surface residual stress, standard value of residual compressive stress layer thickness, standard value of surface roughness and standard value of shot peening coverage.

[0111] This step of the present embodiment compares the various parameter values ​​in the characteristic parameters of the second spring with the corresponding standard values. This method can ensure that the various parameter values ​​in the characteristic parameters of the second spring after shot peening meet the basic standards and avoid that a single parameter is ignored during comprehensive comparison.

[0112] Reference Figure 1 In S40 and S50, when it is determined that the spring shot peening parameters do not need to be adjusted, the current spring shot peening parameters are used as the optimal spring shot peening parameters, and the process jumps to S70; otherwise, the spring shot peening parameters in the spring shot peening parameter database are screened to obtain a compliant spring shot peening parameter set.

[0113] Furthermore, the screening of spring shot peening parameters to obtain a compliant spring shot peening parameter set includes:

[0114] All the spring shot peening parameters in the spring shot peening parameter database are input into the shot peening prediction integrated model to obtain the integrated prediction value of the second spring characteristic parameter corresponding to each of the spring shot peening parameters; when the integrated prediction value of the second spring characteristic parameter meets the spring shot peening standard and the corresponding shot peening compliance prediction value is greater than the set shot peening compliance standard value, the spring shot peening parameter is classified into the compliant spring shot peening parameter set.

[0115] In this step of the present embodiment, when the current spring shot peening parameters need to be adjusted, spring shot peening parameters that meet the standards are screened out from the spring shot peening parameter database to construct a spring shot peening parameter data set. This method can ensure that the characteristic parameters of the second spring after the automobile suspension spring is shot peened by each spring shot peening parameter in the compliant spring shot peening parameter set meet the standards.

[0116] Reference Figure 1 In S60, optimal spring shot peening parameters are obtained according to the spring shot peening parameters in the compliant spring shot peening parameter set.

[0117] Furthermore, the steps for obtaining the optimal spring shot peening parameters include:

[0118] According to each of the spring shot peening parameters, the corresponding shot peening compliance prediction value and shot peening energy consumption value are obtained; according to the shot peening compliance prediction value and the shot peening energy consumption value, the spring shot peening comprehensive value corresponding to each of the spring shot peening parameters is obtained; the spring shot peening parameter corresponding to the largest spring shot peening comprehensive value is used as the optimal spring shot peening parameter.

[0119] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the spring shot peening comprehensive value is:

[0120] ;

[0121] in, It is represented by the spring shot peening comprehensive value corresponding to the spring shot peening parameter of the jth item in the compliant spring shot peening parameter set; It is represented by the shot peening compliance prediction value corresponding to the spring shot peening parameters described in item j; It is expressed as the shot peening energy consumption value corresponding to the spring shot peening parameters described in the jth item; and They are expressed as shot peening compliance coefficient and shot peening energy consumption coefficient respectively; and The default value is 0.5, and it can be modified according to the actual application.

[0122] In this step of the present embodiment, when the current spring shot peening parameters are unqualified, the spring shot peening parameters in the spring shot peening parameter database are screened to obtain a compliant spring shot peening parameter set; the optimal spring shot peening parameters are obtained by combining the shot peening compliance prediction value and shot peening energy consumption value corresponding to each spring shot peening parameter in the compliant spring shot peening parameter set. This method can combine the influence of spring shot peening parameters on the performance of automobile suspension springs after shot peening and the shot peening energy consumption value corresponding to the spring shot peening parameters, thereby achieving the goal of reducing the energy consumption value while ensuring the performance of automobile suspension springs, and improving the shot peening efficiency of automobile suspension springs.

[0123] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the shot peening energy consumption value is:

[0124] ;

[0125] in, It is represented by the shot peening time in the spring shot peening parameter of the jth item in the compliant spring shot peening parameter set; It is expressed as the shot peening gas pressure in the spring shot peening parameters described in Article j; It is expressed as the shot peening diameter in the spring shot peening parameters described in Article j; , , and They are respectively expressed as shot peening time parameter, shot peening air pressure parameter, shot peening diameter parameter and comprehensive energy consumption coefficient; , , and The default value is 0.25, and it can be modified according to the actual application.

[0126] The shot peening time parameter, shot peening air pressure parameter and shot peening diameter parameter in the shot peening process will affect the energy consumption in the shot peening process. In this embodiment, the step obtains the shot peening energy consumption value based on the shot peening time parameter, shot peening air pressure parameter and shot peening diameter parameter in the shot peening process. This method can provide a data basis for the selection of the optimal spring shot peening parameters.

[0127] Reference Figure 1In S70, the spring is shot peened according to the optimal spring shot peening parameters.

[0128] Furthermore, after the shot peening is completed, the automobile suspension spring can also be tested to obtain the actual shot peening compliance; when the difference between the actual shot peening compliance and the shot peening compliance prediction value is less than the set difference threshold, the actual shot peening compliance, the corresponding spring characteristic parameters and the spring shot peening parameters are saved in the historical shot peening data set, and the shot peening detection integrated model is retrained; otherwise, a shot peening abnormality warning is output; in this embodiment, the difference between the actual shot peening compliance and the shot peening compliance prediction value of the two automobile suspension springs produced by Factory A after shot peening is less than the set difference threshold, therefore, the actual shot peening compliance, the corresponding spring characteristic parameters and the spring shot peening parameters are saved in the historical shot peening data set, and the shot peening detection integrated model is retrained.
