Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular relates to a method for measuring closing sound of a diaphragm of an exhaust vent of a passenger car. Background Art

[0002] The exhaust vent is an important part of the car, usually symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rear of the car body, and is an important controllable channel for air circulation inside and outside the car. When the pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside the car, the diaphragm on the exhaust vent opens outwards, and the air inside the car is exchanged with the air outside the car.

[0003] However, since the exhaust vent diaphragm is mostly made of rubber, the diaphragm will collide with the shell and produce a closing sound when closing. The thickness and material of the diaphragm have a great influence on the closing sound of the exhaust vent diaphragm.

[0004] Usually, this closing sound is produced when the door is closed or driving, and the loud sound will cause user complaints. Currently, there is a lack of corresponding methods to evaluate the closing sound of the exhaust vent diaphragm, so as to achieve the diagnosis and optimization of faulty exhaust vents and the positive development of exhaust vents. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring the closing sound of the diaphragm of the exhaust vent of a passenger car, so as to solve the problem of conveniently and accurately testing the size of the closing sound of the diaphragm of the exhaust vent.

[0006] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0017] B8. Loudness calculation: Take the arithmetic average of the loudness measured multiple times;

[0018] B9. Based on the size of the closing sound of the exhaust vent diaphragm, evaluate whether the design of the exhaust vent diaphragm meets the performance requirements.

[0019] Further, in step B1, it is checked whether the background noise of the test site does not exceed 40dB(A).

[0020] Further, in step B2, the test fixture 3 is installed at the center position of the vibration table 2; the vibration table 2 is installed on the vibration table base 1.

[0024] Further, in step B5, the microphone 5 is mounted on the microphone holder 6, and the microphone holder 6 is placed on the ground.

[0025] Furthermore, in step B5, the position of the microphone 5 is adjusted to be arranged 15 cm in front of the air outlet in the normal direction.

[0026] Further, in step B6, each measurement time is 30 seconds, and 3 measurements are required.

[0027] Further, in step B9, the cause of the abnormal closing sound of the exhaust vent diaphragm is identified according to the test sound pressure level and loudness, or it is determined whether the closing sound of the exhaust vent diaphragm meets the design requirements.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
