[0041] Example

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment uses the in-vehicle noise and vibration method to test a certain type of fuel cell engine with a rated power of 70kW, and the steps are as follows:

[0043] Step 1: Arrangement of the test conditions for the rotating hub in the whole vehicle state: Place the whole vehicle on the mobile rotating hub, select the measuring points and install the noise sensor and vibration sensor respectively;

[0044] Specifically, the entire vehicle is placed on a mobile rotating hub, and noise sensors are installed at the left ear of the main driver, the right ear of the main driver, the left ear of the right rear seat, and the right ear of the right rear seat to collect noise inside the vehicle; vibration sensors are installed on the main driver's seat rails and the steering wheel to collect vibration information.

[0045] Step 2: Set the engine test power condition, perform engine noise and vibration tests, and obtain engine test data: set different engine test powers, gradually increase the fuel cell engine test power until the limit power is reached, and test the noise, vibration, and environmental noise at each power;

[0046] Specifically, the accelerator pedal is used to control the gradual increase of power, and the operating points of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% of the engine power are set respectively. Noise and vibration tests are performed under each set of operating conditions to obtain test noise data and vibration data; the running time for each set of operating conditions is 30 seconds; and the environmental noise under each set of operating conditions is tested at the same time.

[0047] Among them, the engine noise sampling frequency is 25600Hz and the vibration sampling frequency is 51200Hz.

[0048] Step 3: Process the test data: calculate the total sound pressure level of each measuring point of the interior noise, and calculate the vibration RSS value of the steering wheel and seat rail vibration.

[0049] Specifically, the time period during which each group of engine power can operate stably is intercepted, the total sound pressure level of noise at different power operating points of each group of engines is calculated, and the average value of vibration RSS at different power operating points of each group of engines is calculated.

[0050] Step 4: Filter environmental noise: Remove the total noise sound pressure level calculated for each group of engine operating points at different power levels to obtain the sound pressure level of environmental noise such as the hub and tires.

[0051] Step 5: Combine the noise data and vibration data, and draw the noise and vibration curves with the fuel cell engine power, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown.
