[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] In modern society, with the gradual increase in vehicle ownership, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation. During the use of a car, noise may occur in the vehicle chassis due to various reasons, including design errors and component failures. This noise not only affects the user's driving experience, but noise caused by component failures may also affect the vehicle's performance and safety.

[0055] In actual testing, determining the exact location of chassis noise is challenging due to several factors: 1. When chassis noise is generated by multiple components, interference between different noise sources increases the difficulty of locating the source; 2. Noise signals are affected by reflection and resonance as they propagate through parts, making it difficult to pinpoint the corresponding vibration signal; 3. The propagation path of noise signals within parts is complex, making path analysis for locating the noise source highly difficult and complex. Furthermore, determining the cause of the noise requires specialized technical expertise and maintenance experience from technicians. Therefore, repairing chassis noise typically requires significant time investment, and the repair results are often unsatisfactory. Existing methods for locating chassis noise sources are complex and difficult to directly and quantitatively determine the noise source's location.

[0056] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a method, apparatus, and device for locating noise sources within the front suspension system of an automobile chassis. This method collects initial vibration and audio signals related to noise using vibration sensors and microphones located at multiple preset positions within the front suspension system. It then compares the frequencies of the initial vibration and audio signals to determine intermediate vibration signals corresponding to the noise from the initial vibration signals. Based on the inherent properties of the components at the preset positions, the intermediate vibration signals are filtered to determine the target vibration signal to be processed. Finally, based on the start time of the target vibration signal, the location of the noise source is determined using a hyperboloid positioning method.

[0057] This method, by setting vibration sensors and microphones at preset locations, can directly detect noise signals propagating in the front suspension system, reducing environmental impact. By comparing the frequencies of the initial vibration signal and the audio signal, the method can determine the vibration signal corresponding to the noise from the initial vibration signal, solving the cumbersome technical problem of chassis noise localization methods. It achieves the technical effect of automatically screening the noise that needs to be processed and directly determining the location of the corresponding noise source.

[0058] The noise source localization method for the front suspension system provided in this manual can be applied to the front suspension systems of different vehicle models, and correspondingly, it can also be applied to the rear suspension systems of the same vehicle. It is understood that, with adaptive modifications, this method can also be applied to other parts in the vehicle chassis to locate noise sources of different causes.

[0059] According to an embodiment of this application, a method for locating noise sources in a front suspension system is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0060] This embodiment provides a method for locating noise sources in a front suspension system, which can be used in the aforementioned vehicle front suspension system, with reference to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 A step diagram of the method for locating a noise source in a front suspension system provided in this application embodiment is shown in the figure. The front suspension system has several preset positions, and a vibration sensor and a microphone are installed at each preset position. The method includes:

[0061] S100. Acquire the initial vibration signal at the preset position through a vibration sensor, and acquire the audio signal at the preset position through a microphone; wherein, the audio signal is the noise that is transmitted from the noise source through the air to the preset position.

[0062] S200. Compare the frequencies of the audio signal and the initial vibration signal to determine an intermediate vibration signal that matches the frequency of the audio signal in the initial vibration signal; wherein the intermediate vibration signal is the vibration that propagates from the noise source through the parts of the front suspension system to a preset position.

[0063] S300. Based on the inherent properties of the part at the preset position, the intermediate vibration signals are filtered to determine the target vibration signal that meets the preset noise conditions.

[0064] S400. Hyperbolic surface localization is performed based on the start time of the target vibration signal to obtain the location of the noise source.

[0065] Noise in the front suspension system is abnormal sound caused by design problems or malfunctions of components. The location of the component that generates noise after being loaded due to these problems is the noise source. The noise emitted by the noise source propagates as a vibration signal within the component. To collect these vibration signals, multiple preset positions need to be set in the front suspension system. These preset positions are locations pre-defined on various components within the system to detect vibration signals at different locations. It should be noted that the preset positions can be selected based on the component's material, shape, structure, and connection method. Optional positions include, but are not limited to, the ends of the component, the middle position, stress concentration areas, and critical connection points. Vibration signals from the ends reflect the overall vibration of the component, vibration signals from the middle position reflect the basic modal characteristics, and vibration signals from stress concentration areas and critical connection points reflect the impact of vibration on the component's lifespan and performance. After identifying the noise source, the impact of the noise on the front suspension system can be further analyzed based on the characteristics of the vibration signals from each preset position.

[0066] Furthermore, the inherent properties of a component can be used to reflect the impact of vibration signals on the component. These inherent properties include, but are not limited to, the component's mass, the elastic modulus of the material used in the component, and the damping ratio. The mass of the component directly affects its response to vibration; a larger mass results in greater inertia and a slower response, leading to greater stability under vibration. The elastic modulus reflects the component's deformation capacity under vibration; a larger elastic modulus makes the component less prone to permanent deformation. The damping ratio reflects the rate of vibration decay within the component; a larger damping ratio results in a more significant suppression of vibration signals, thereby reducing the impact on the component itself and the front suspension system. In different embodiments, the inherent properties of the component can be selected according to actual requirements to quantitatively analyze the impact of vibration signals on the front suspension system.

[0067] Specifically, multiple preset positions are selected in the front suspension system, and vibration sensors and microphones are installed at these positions to collect signals emitted by the noise source. Each component in the front suspension system has at least two preset positions; when a component has two preset positions, these positions are located at either end of the component. The number and location of preset positions can also be determined based on the shape of the component. For example, if a component has a certain area on any plane, it will have at least three preset positions. It is understood that preset positions on the same component do not need to be on the same straight line; they can be evenly distributed across the component. The more preset positions a component has, the more signals are collected, and the higher the noise source localization accuracy. For components of high importance or those determined by experience to be prone to failure, multiple preset positions can be determined to improve the accuracy and speed of noise source localization and shorten the localization time. During calculations, preset positions on the same component are typically used as the data basis to ensure that the signal propagates at the same speed within the component.

[0068] Furthermore, the signals acquired at the preset position by the vibration sensor and microphone include an initial vibration signal and an audio signal. The audio signal is emitted from the noise source and propagates through the air to the preset position; the initial vibration signal is emitted from the noise source and propagates through the components of the front suspension system to the preset position. Since the vibration sensor and microphone are positioned at the same preset position, errors caused by positional differences are reduced, ensuring signal consistency. Compared to the initial vibration signal, the audio signal more clearly reflects the vibration characteristics of the noise and is less affected by vibrations from non-noise sources. Therefore, by comparing the frequency of the audio signal and the initial vibration signal, the signal corresponding to the noise source can be determined from the initial vibration signal.

[0069] In some embodiments, the audio signal acquired by the microphone propagates through the air, where high-frequency components of vibration are significantly attenuated, resulting in substantial loss of high-frequency information in the audio signal. The initial vibration signal acquired by the vibration sensor propagates through components of the front suspension system, and solid materials are more effective at transmitting high-frequency vibrations, thus retaining more high-frequency components in the initial vibration signal. By combining the audio signal and the initial vibration signal, and through their complementary components and inverse relationships, the noise characteristics emitted by the noise source can be reconstructed, providing a more accurate data foundation for subsequent noise source localization.

[0070] Furthermore, based on the inherent properties of the parts at the preset locations, intermediate vibration signals are filtered according to preset noise conditions to obtain target vibration signals. Among these, the noise corresponding to the intermediate vibration signals that meet the preset noise conditions has a significant impact on the user's driving experience and negatively affects vehicle performance and safety, requiring targeted repairs. By filtering based on preset noise conditions, noises with a significant impact on the vehicle can be quickly identified, improving repair efficiency and reducing the risks posed by noise causes to the vehicle.

[0071] Furthermore, when performing hyperbolic surface localization of the noise source based on the start time of the target vibration signal, the signal emitted by the noise source may be collected at all preset positions in the front suspension system. In this case, the start times of the target vibration signals at all preset positions are arranged sequentially from earliest to latest, and the earliest data points are selected to generate a spatial hyperbolic surface. For example, five data points can be selected. The later the start time, the greater the distance between the corresponding preset position and the noise source, and the more significant the attenuation of the target vibration signal, thus reducing the accuracy of noise source localization.

[0072] The noise source localization method for the front suspension system provided in this embodiment uses a hyperboloid localization method to locate the noise source based on the time difference between target vibration signals at various preset positions, achieving high-precision noise source localization. Simultaneously, by setting vibration sensors and microphones at preset positions, the method can directly detect noise signals propagating in the front suspension system, making it less susceptible to environmental influences and exhibiting strong anti-interference capabilities. Furthermore, this method also filters intermediate vibration signals corresponding to the noise signals based on the inherent properties of the parts to determine the target vibration signal requiring processing, thereby quickly identifying the repair target and shortening the repair cycle.

[0073] As one embodiment of this application, frequency comparison is performed between an audio signal and an initial vibration signal to determine an intermediate vibration signal in the initial vibration signal that matches the frequency of the audio signal, including:

[0074] S210. Calculate the frequency deviation of multiple vibration peaks in the audio signal and the initial vibration signal, and take the initial vibration signal with a frequency deviation lower than the frequency deviation threshold as the intermediate vibration signal.

[0075] Specifically, the frequency deviation takes the following form:

[0076] δ ν =H v -H m

[0077] Where, δ ν Indicates frequency deviation; H v H is the frequency of the initial vibration signal; m The frequency of the audio signal. Based on the frequency deviation δν The relationship between the frequency deviation threshold and the initial vibration signal that matches the audio signal frequency is determined as an intermediate vibration signal. For example, a phased frequency deviation threshold is taken; if δ... ν ∈[0,±2Hz], indicating that the frequencies of the initial vibration signal and the audio signal are very close, and the initial vibration signal can be used as the intermediate vibration signal; if δ ν ∈[0,±4Hz] and This indicates that the frequencies of the initial vibration signal and the audio signal are relatively close, which may occur when the preset position and the noise source are both far apart. It is necessary to determine, based on the actual situation, whether to use this initial vibration signal as the intermediate vibration signal; if the frequency deviation δ ν Outside the aforementioned range, it indicates a large deviation between the frequencies of the initial vibration signal and the audio signal, and there is no corresponding relationship between the two.

[0078] As one embodiment of this application, the inherent properties include mass, stiffness, and natural frequency; the intermediate vibration signals are filtered based on the inherent properties of the part at the preset position to determine the target vibration signal that meets the preset noise conditions, including:

[0079] S310. Based on the amplitude and frequency of the intermediate vibration signal, as well as the mass, stiffness, and natural frequency of the part at the preset position, evaluate the attention to the intermediate vibration signal and obtain a vibration attention score.

[0080] S320. If the vibration attention score meets the preset noise conditions, the intermediate vibration signal corresponding to the vibration attention score is determined as the target vibration signal.

[0081] Specifically, an intermediate vibration signal propagating from a noise source to a preset location will cause vibration in the component at that location. The impact of this vibration on the component can be calculated based on the amplitude and frequency of the intermediate vibration signal, as well as the component's mass, stiffness, and natural frequency. A vibration attention score is then obtained through attention assessment. The vibration attention score is compared with preset noise conditions. If the vibration attention score meets the preset noise conditions, it indicates that the intermediate vibration signal has a significant impact on the component at the preset location and requires special attention.

[0082] It is understood that preset noise conditions can be set according to actual needs. For example, preset noise conditions may include: component fatigue conditions, component damage conditions, component temperature conditions, and component strain conditions. Among them, component fatigue conditions refer to the number of times the component vibrates according to the propagated vibration signal exceeding the maximum number designed; component damage conditions refer to the damage occurring when the component vibrates according to the propagated vibration signal; component temperature conditions refer to the temperature rising when the component vibrates according to the propagated vibration signal and exceeding the upper limit of the temperature that the component can withstand; and component strain conditions refer to the stress change in the component exceeding the upper limit of the component's design when the component vibrates according to the propagated vibration signal.

[0083] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The figure shows a flowchart illustrating the steps of attention assessment in an embodiment of this application. As one embodiment of this application, attention assessment is performed using the following method:

[0084] S312. Based on the amplitude of the intermediate vibration signal and the mass and stiffness of the part at the preset position, calculate the vibration response of the part at the preset position to obtain the amplitude evaluation value.

[0085] S314. Based on the frequency of the intermediate vibration signal and the natural frequency of the part at the preset position, perform resonance calculation on the part at the preset position to obtain the resonance evaluation quantity.

[0086] S316. Evaluate the intermediate vibration signal based on the amplitude assessment and resonance assessment to obtain the vibration attention score.

[0087] Specifically, the amplitude assessment quantity takes the following form:

[0088]

[0089] Where F represents the amplitude assessment value; T is the amplitude of the intermediate vibration signal; M is the mass of the part at the preset position; and K is the stiffness of the part at the preset position. The amplitude assessment value characterizes the magnitude of the vibration of the part at the preset position due to the intermediate vibration signal. It can be understood that the larger the amplitude assessment value, the greater the amplitude of the vibration of the part at the preset position with the intermediate vibration signal, which may cause damage to the part itself; furthermore, due to the vibration, the part may collide with other parts, leading to the breakage of multiple parts.

[0090] Furthermore, the form of the resonance assessment quantity is as follows:

[0091] δ r =H v -H p

[0092] Where, δ r H represents the resonance assessment quantity; p The natural frequency of the component at the preset position is given. The resonance assessment quantity characterizes the likelihood that the component at the preset position will resonate due to the intermediate vibration signal after being subjected to it. It can be understood that the higher the resonance assessment quantity, the more likely the component at the preset position is to resonate with the intermediate vibration signal, thus increasing the vibration amplitude of the component and potentially causing damage to the component and other components connected to it.

[0093] As one embodiment of this application, the intermediate vibration signal is evaluated based on the amplitude assessment value and the resonance assessment value to obtain a vibration attention score, including:

[0094] S317. Determine the amplitude score of the intermediate vibration signal based on the amplitude evaluation interval where the amplitude evaluation quantity is located; wherein, the amplitude evaluation interval is set in stages according to the preset noise conditions.

[0095] S318. Determine the resonance score of the intermediate vibration signal based on the resonance evaluation interval where the resonance evaluation quantity is located; wherein, the resonance evaluation interval is set in stages according to the preset noise conditions.

[0096] S319. The amplitude score and resonance score are weighted and calculated to obtain the vibration concern score.

[0097] Specifically, for the amplitude assessment value, the amplitude assessment interval is divided into three intervals. The first amplitude assessment interval is defined as follows: if the amplitude assessment value 1 ≤ F < 3, it indicates that the intermediate vibration signal may cause abnormal vibration for the part at the preset position. The second amplitude assessment interval is defined as follows: if the amplitude assessment value 3 ≤ F < 5, it indicates that the intermediate vibration signal has caused abnormal vibration for the part at the preset position. The third amplitude assessment interval is defined as follows: if the amplitude assessment value F ≥ 5, it indicates that the intermediate vibration signal has caused severe abnormal vibration for the part at the preset position, requiring special attention. It is understandable that the amplitude score is lowest in the first amplitude assessment interval, higher in the second amplitude assessment interval, and highest in the third amplitude assessment interval.

[0098] Furthermore, for the resonance evaluation quantity, the resonance evaluation interval is divided into three intervals, wherein the first resonance evaluation interval is: if the resonance evaluation quantity δ r ∈[-2Hz, 2Hz], indicating that the part at the preset position may resonate with the intermediate vibration signal; the second resonance evaluation interval is: if the resonance evaluation quantity δ r ∈[-5Hz, 5Hz] and This indicates that the part at the preset position resonates with the intermediate vibration signal; the third resonance evaluation interval is: if the resonance evaluation quantity δ r∈[-10Hz, 10Hz] and This indicates that the component at the preset position resonates with the intermediate vibration signal, and the resonance amplitude is large, requiring special attention. Understandably, the resonance score is lowest in the first resonance evaluation interval, higher in the second interval, and highest in the third interval.

[0099] Furthermore, the weighting coefficients for the amplitude score and resonance score can be determined based on the focus of attention in actual needs. The vibration attention score is calculated by weighting the amplitude score and resonance score. It can be understood that the higher the vibration attention score, the greater the impact of the intermediate vibration signal on the part at the preset position, and therefore the higher the attention.

[0100] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The figure shows a step diagram of hyperboloid localization in an embodiment of this application. As an embodiment of this application, hyperboloid localization is performed based on the start time of the target vibration signal to obtain the location of the noise source, including:

[0101] S410. Determine the spatial hyperboloid passing through the noise source based on the start time of the first target vibration signal and the second target vibration signal respectively; wherein, the first target vibration signal and the second target vibration signal are target vibration signals transmitted from the noise source to different preset positions.

[0102] S420. Based on several sets of first target vibration signals and second target vibration signals, several spatial hyperboloids are obtained, and the location of the noise source is determined based on the intersection positions between the several spatial hyperboloids.

[0103] Specifically, due to the geometric properties of hyperboloids, the distance difference between any point on the hyperboloid surface and its corresponding two foci is a constant. Correspondingly, the distance between a noise source and different preset positions varies, and the difference between these distances is fixed according to the determined preset positions. Therefore, the hyperboloid can be used to represent the possible locations of the noise source, thereby enabling the localization of the noise source.

[0104] Furthermore, based on the determined sets of target vibration signals, several spatial hyperboloids are obtained. Corresponding to the target vibration signals emitted by the same noise source, these spatial hyperboloids should intersect at the same point, i.e., the location of the noise source. Therefore, the noise source can be located based on the focus of the spatial hyperboloids. It is understandable that the more spatial hyperboloids there are, the higher the accuracy of noise source location.

[0105] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4The figure shows a step diagram for establishing a spatial hyperboloid in an embodiment of this application. As one embodiment of this application, the spatial hyperboloid passing through the noise source is determined based on the start times of the first target vibration signal and the second target vibration signal, including:

[0106] S412. Determine the distance difference between the first distance and the second distance based on the respective start times of the first target vibration signal and the second target vibration signal; wherein, the first distance is the distance between the noise source and the first preset position, and the second distance is the distance between the noise source and the second preset position; the first preset position is the position for collecting the first target vibration signal, and the second preset position is the position for collecting the second target vibration signal.

[0107] S414. Based on the distance difference, establish a spatial hyperboloid with the first preset position and the second preset position as the focal points.

[0108] Specifically, in the noise source localization process, there is a time difference in the propagation of the signal emitted by the noise source to different preset locations; that is, different preset locations have different oscillation start times. The form of the distance difference is as follows:

[0109] S = V·|T1-T2|

[0110] Where S represents the distance difference; V is the propagation speed of the target vibration signal; T1 is the start-up time at the first preset position; and T2 is the start-up time at the second preset position. In practice, the propagation speed of the target vibration signal is related to the material of the parts in the propagation path, and the actual propagation speed can be modified based on the noise source localization results. For example, if, according to the noise source localization results, the parts in the propagation path of the target vibration signal are made of two or more materials, then the propagation speed of the target vibration signal needs to be calculated segmentally according to the size of the parts. It should be noted that the above calculation method can improve the accuracy of localization, but it also increases the complexity of the method. To avoid this, multiple preset positions can be selected on a single part when setting up the vibration sensor and microphone, so that the parts in the propagation path of the target vibration signal are made of only one material, thereby reducing the impact of material on localization accuracy.

[0111] Furthermore, the front suspension system to be analyzed is placed in a global coordinate system. For example, the xy-plane of the global coordinate system is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When establishing the spatial hyperboloid, a local coordinate system is established with the midpoint between the first and second preset positions as the origin, the straight line passing through the first and second preset positions as the y-axis, the direction perpendicular to the y-axis and parallel to the horizontal plane as the x-axis, and the direction perpendicular to both the x-axis and y-axis as the z-axis. A spatial hyperboloid is then established within this local coordinate system. It is understood that since the first and second preset positions are known, the coordinate transformation relationship between the local and global coordinate systems is known. After transforming the coordinates of the noise source in the global coordinate system, the resulting coordinates of the noise source in the local coordinate system should satisfy the equations of the spatial hyperboloid.

[0112] As one embodiment of this application, the spatial hyperboloid takes the following form:

[0113]

[0114] in, S represents the distance difference, x1, y1, and z1 are the coordinates of the first preset position, and x2, y2, and z2 are the coordinates of the second preset position.

[0115] Specifically, since the first and second preset positions are known, the noise source must lie on a hyperboloid with the first and second preset positions as foci and a major axis of S / 2. Based on the form of the aforementioned spatial hyperboloid, several sets of spatial hyperboloids are established. Using a three-dimensional modeling method, the intersection points of these spatial hyperboloids are determined, thereby identifying the specific location of the noise source.

[0116] In some embodiments, after determining the noise source location according to the above steps, the results are verified. The verification method includes progressively detecting vibrations at multiple locations in the front suspension system and progressively determining the noise location and cause based on the detection results. For example, the noise source location method for the front suspension system provided in this application determines the noise source to be at the contact positions between the left and right steering knuckles and the wheel hub bearings.

[0117] During the verification process, vibration was first detected on each component of the front suspension system, including: left reducer plane bearing, left reducer lower spring disc, left stabilizer bar tie rod, left steering knuckle, left lower control arm, stabilizer bar, left half-shaft inner CV joint, left half-shaft outer CV joint, left rack and left steering tie rod, as well as corresponding components on the right side of the front suspension system. The instrument used to detect vibration can be the same vibration sensor as that in the front suspension system noise source localization method provided in this application, or it can be a handheld vibrometer, etc.

[0118] Reference Figure 5a and Figure 5b , Figure 5aThis is a signal diagram at the left turn lever during the noise source localization verification process in this application embodiment. Figure 5b This is a signal diagram at the right turn lever during the noise source localization verification process in this embodiment of the application. Figure 5a and Figure 5b The upper figure shows the detected signal, and the lower figure is a magnified schematic diagram of the target vibration signal. The horizontal axis of both the upper and lower figures represents time, and the vertical axis represents amplitude. Figure 5a and Figure 5b The data includes vibration signals collected in three directions when turning the steering wheel left and right while stationary. The signals for turning the steering wheel left are collected between 15 and 36 seconds, while those for turning the steering wheel right are collected between 58 and 76 seconds. Amplifying the signals within these time periods reveals that the signal amplitude corresponding to the left turn lever is highest when turning the steering wheel left, and the signal amplitude corresponding to the right turn lever is highest when turning the steering wheel right. Furthermore, the signal amplitude on the left turn lever is higher than the signal amplitude on the right turn lever, indicating that the noise source is closer to the left turn lever.

[0119] Secondly, based on the above results, more detection points were identified in the steering system. Three detection points were selected on both the left and right steering linkages, and detection points were added on the ball-pin-steering knuckle of the left and right steering linkages. Signal measurements revealed that the highest signal amplitude was observed when turning the steering wheel left while stationary, corresponding to the ball-pin-steering knuckle of the left steering linkage, and also relatively high for the ball-pin-steering knuckle of the right steering linkage. Conversely, the highest signal amplitude was observed when turning the steering wheel right while stationary, corresponding to the ball-pin-steering knuckle of the right steering linkage, and also relatively high for the ball-pin-steering knuckle of the left steering linkage. Therefore, the noise source was closer to the ball-pins on both sides. Inspection of the ball-pins revealed torque attenuation; retightening the ball-pins did not eliminate the noise.

[0120] Furthermore, based on the above results, more testing points were determined on both steering knuckles. Specifically, three testing points were selected on the left steering knuckle, and a testing point was added at the lower mounting point of the left shock absorber. (Refer to...) Figure 5c , Figure 5c This is a signal diagram on the left steering knuckle during the noise source localization verification process in this embodiment of the application. Figure 5c The upper image shows the detected signal, and the lower image is a magnified schematic diagram of the target vibration signal. In both the upper and lower images, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents amplitude. Figure 5c The data only includes vibration signals collected in three directions when the steering wheel is turned left while stationary. Amplifying the signals within the corresponding time period reveals that the signal amplitudes at four detection points on the left steering knuckle are relatively high, indicating the presence of a noise source on the left steering knuckle.

[0121] Accordingly, the selected test points on the right steering knuckle included: three test points on the right shock absorber, the right steering knuckle, the right steering knuckle-control arm, and the right steering tie rod ball joint-steering knuckle. After signal measurement, it was found that noise still existed after reducing the interference of the drive system, and the signal amplitude of the right steering tie rod ball joint-steering knuckle was the highest, which can be considered as a noise source on the right steering knuckle.

[0122] Finally, based on the verification results, adhesive tape was pasted on the mating surfaces of the wheel hub bearing and the left and right steering knuckles. After testing, wear marks were found on the adhesive tape, which determined that this was the specific location of the noise source. The location was the same as that determined by the noise source location method of the front suspension system provided in this application, proving the effectiveness of this method.

[0123] As one embodiment of this application, after determining the location of the noise source based on the noise source localization method for the front suspension system provided in this application, a finite element model of the front suspension system can be performed to obtain a test model, which includes a front suspension system model and a tire model. By applying the same load as in actual road testing to the tire model, the test model is simulated under actual working conditions to obtain simulation data about the front suspension system. The types of simulation data include, but are not limited to, pressure changes on the contact surfaces of parts, deformation of parts, and stress magnitude of parts. Based on the obtained simulation data, the cause of the noise source is specifically analyzed. For example, if there is a deformation mismatch between any two parts resulting in contact friction, then the noise source at that location is friction noise. After determining the cause of the noise source, the front suspension system can be updated based on the test model to eliminate the noise source.
