[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the application scenarios involved in the present application are first briefly described.

[0048] In the related art, in the initial layout stage of the spare tire, the initial layout of the spare tire is usually carried out according to the styling requirements, sheet metal boundaries and tire size, and then the tailgate and body support structure are designed, and a performance simulation analysis is performed. According to the analysis results, the position of the spare tire is adjusted and the support structure is redesigned until the performance requirements are met, and the spare tire layout is completed. This solution cannot determine whether the position of the spare tire is reasonable and whether the load distribution is optimal in the initial layout stage of the spare tire. After the performance simulation analysis is completed, the position of the spare tire needs to be repeatedly adjusted and the tailgate and body support structure needs to be redesigned according to the adjusted position to meet the performance requirements. The design cycle is relatively long. If the spare tire is not positioned properly, a thicker and heavier support structure is required to meet the performance requirements, which is not conducive to the lightweight design of the body.

[0049] The present application proposes a method for determining the position of a spare tire, which calculates the spatial supporting force on the mounting surface of a tailgate hinge through parametric mechanics, calculates the dynamic displacement of the mounting surface of the tailgate hinge according to the dynamic stiffness of the mounting surface of the tailgate hinge and the spatial supporting force, and uses the dynamic displacement as an evaluation index. This method can screen out the optimal solution for the spare tire layout position during the spare tire layout stage, shortens the design cycle, saves manpower, and is conducive to the lightweight design of the tailgate and vehicle body support structure.

[0050] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for determining the position of a spare tire at a tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a method for determining the position of a tailgate spare tire is provided, and the method may include the following steps 101 to 104.

[0051] In step 101, the first center of gravity coordinates corresponding to each candidate position of the tailgate spare tire and the dynamic stiffness of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge are obtained.

[0052] Among them, the tailgate spare tire refers to the spare tire arranged on the tailgate of the vehicle. The embodiment of the present application needs to screen out the target position of the tailgate spare tire from multiple candidate positions.

[0053] It can be understood that each candidate position corresponds to a first barycentric coordinate. In the space coordinate system, the first barycentric coordinate can be expressed as P(P x ,P y ,P z )express.

[0054] The dynamic stiffness of the mounting surface of the tailgate hinge can be obtained by simplified calculation of the dynamic stiffness of several vertices of the tailgate hinge.

[0055] In step 102, the spatial supporting force on the installation surface of the tailgate hinge is determined according to the first center of gravity coordinate.

[0056] Among them, the tailgate hinge usually includes an upper hinge and a lower hinge. Correspondingly, the spatial supporting force exerted on the mounting surface of the tailgate hinge includes a first spatial supporting force exerted on the mounting surface of the upper hinge and a second spatial supporting force exerted on the mounting surface of the lower hinge.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first center coordinate of the mounting surface of the upper hinge, the second center coordinate of the mounting surface of the lower hinge, the coordinates of the tailgate lock engagement point, the second center of gravity coordinates of the tailgate assembly, the first gravity of the tailgate spare tire and the second gravity of the tailgate assembly can be obtained; the first space support force and the second space support force can be determined based on the first center of gravity coordinates, the first center coordinates, the second center coordinates, the coordinates of the tailgate lock engagement point, the second center of gravity coordinates, the first gravity and the second gravity.

[0058] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the force of a tailgate assembly in one embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, H1 is the center point of the mounting surface of the upper hinge, H2 is the center point of the mounting surface of the lower hinge, H3 is the tailgate lock engagement point, O is the center of gravity of the tailgate assembly, P is the center of gravity of the spare tire, and R is the hinge axis.

[0059] F1 is the first spatial support force on the mounting surface of the upper hinge, F2 is the second spatial support force on the mounting surface of the lower hinge, and F3 is the third spatial support force on the locking engagement point, with the direction being tangential to the rotation direction. G t is the weight of the spare tire, and its direction is downward in the z direction. G1 is the weight of the tailgate assembly, and its direction is downward in the z direction.

[0060] Through force analysis, the first center of gravity coordinate P (P x ,P y ,P z ) and the relationship between the first spatial support force F1 on the installation surface of the upper hinge, the first center of gravity coordinate P (P x ,P y ,P z ) and the relationship f2(P) between the second spatial support force F2 received by the mounting surface of the lower hinge, and then according to the first center of gravity coordinate P(P x ,P y ,P z ) Calculate the first spatial supporting force F1 and the second spatial supporting force F2.

[0061] Taking the spare tire and tailgate assembly as the force analysis object, F 1x 、F 1y 、F 1z are the components of the first spatial support force F1 on the X, Y, and Z axes in the spatial coordinate system, respectively. 2x 、F 2y 、F 2zare the components of the second spatial support force F2 on the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively. 3x 、F 3y 、F 3z are the components of the third spatial support force F3 on the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively, and H 1x , H 1y , H 1z are the coordinates of point H1 on the X, Y, and Z axes, that is, the first center coordinate is (H 1x ,H 1y ,H 1z ), H 2x , H 2y , H 2z are the coordinates of point H2 on the X, Y, and Z axes, that is, the second center coordinate is (H 2x ,H 2y ,H 2z ), H 3x , H 3y , H 3z are the coordinates of point H3 on the X, Y, and Z axes, that is, the third center coordinate is (H 3x ,H 3y ,H 3z ), O x , O y , O z are the coordinates of point O on the X, Y, and Z axes, that is, the coordinates of the second centroid are (O x ,O y ,O z ).

[0062] According to the characteristics of force balance, the vector sum of the forces in the X, Y, and Z directions should all be 0, from which the following formula can be obtained:

[0063] ∑F x =F 1x -F 2x -F 3x =0Formula 1;

[0064] ∑F y =F 1y -F 2y +F 3y =0Formula 2;

[0065] ∑F z =F 1z +F 2z +F 3z -G1-G t =0Formula 3.

[0066] According to the characteristics of moment balance, the sum of the moments of the force on the X, Y, and Z axes should all be 0, from which the following formula can be obtained:

[0067] ∑M x (F)=F 1y ·H 1z +F 1z ·H 1y +F 2y ·H 2z +F 2z ·H 2y +F 3y ·H 3z +F 3z ·

[0068] H 3y +P y ·G t +O y ·G1=0Formula 4;

[0069] ∑M y (F)=F 1x ·H 1z +F 1z ·H 1x +F 2x ·H 2z +F 2z ·H 2x +F 3x ·H 3z +F 3z ·

[0070] H 3x +P x ·G t +O x ·G1=0Formula 5;

[0071] ∑M z (F)=F 1x ·H 1y +F 1y ·H 1x +F 2x ·H 2y +F 2y ·H 2x +F 3x ·H 3y +F 3y ·

[0072] H 3x =0Formula 6;

[0073] According to the characteristics of moment balance, the third space support force F3, the gravity of the tailgate assembly G1, the gravity of the spare tire G t The sum of the moments about the hinge axis R is 0, from which the following formula can be obtained:

[0074] ∑M R (F)=LP ·G tx +L o ·G 1x +L3·F3=0Formula 7;

[0075] Among them, L p G is the distance from the center of gravity of the spare tire to the hinge axis R, tx is the X-direction component of the weight of the spare tire relative to the hinge axis R, L o G is the distance from the center of gravity of the tailgate assembly to the hinge axis R, 1x is the component of the gravity of the tailgate assembly relative to the hinge axis R in the X direction, and L3 is the distance from the lock engagement point to the hinge axis R.

[0076] Combining the above formulas 1 to 7, we can obtain the first centroid coordinates P(P x ,P y ,P z ) and the first spatial support force F1 received by the mounting surface of the upper hinge:

[0077] f1(P)=f1(P x ,P y ,P z )=F1(F 1x ,F 1y ,F 1z ) Formula 8;

[0078] The first barycentric coordinate P(P x ,P y ,P z ) and the second spatial support force F2 received by the mounting surface of the lower hinge:

[0079] f2(P)=f2(P x ,P y ,P z )=F2(F 2x ,F 2y ,F 2z ) Formula 9.

[0080] In step 103, the dynamic displacement of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge is determined according to the spatial supporting force and the dynamic stiffness.

[0081] The dynamic stiffness includes a first dynamic stiffness of the mounting surface of the upper hinge and a second dynamic stiffness of the mounting surface of the lower hinge, and the dynamic displacement includes a first dynamic displacement of the mounting surface of the upper hinge and a second dynamic displacement of the mounting surface of the lower hinge.

[0082] The first dynamic stiffness can be obtained by simplified calculation of the dynamic stiffness of the four vertices of the upper hinge, and the second dynamic stiffness can be obtained by simplified calculation of the dynamic stiffness of the four vertices of the lower hinge.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first spatial supporting force may be divided by the first dynamic stiffness to obtain a first dynamic displacement; and the second spatial supporting force may be divided by the second dynamic stiffness to obtain a second dynamic displacement.

[0084] In step 104, according to the dynamic displacement corresponding to each first center of gravity coordinate, a target coordinate is determined from the plurality of first center of gravity coordinates as the target position of the tailgate spare tire.

[0085] In some embodiments, the larger of the first dynamic displacement and the second dynamic displacement corresponding to each first center of gravity coordinate can be determined as the evaluation parameter corresponding to the first center of gravity coordinate; based on the evaluation parameter corresponding to each first center of gravity coordinate, the target coordinate is determined from multiple first center of gravity coordinates as the target position of the tailgate spare tire.

[0086] The evaluation parameters corresponding to the first barycentric coordinates can be expressed by the following formula:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, K1 is the first dynamic stiffness and K2 is the second dynamic stiffness.

[0089] It can be understood that the smaller the evaluation parameter S is, the smaller the deformation of the installation surface of the hinge is, and the better the position of the corresponding first center of gravity coordinate is.

[0090] In some embodiments, the sheet metal structure boundary, the appearance styling boundary of the tailgate spare tire and the installation conditions of the tire size can be obtained; based on the evaluation parameters corresponding to each first center of gravity coordinate, the first center of gravity coordinate, the sheet metal structure boundary, the appearance styling boundary and the installation conditions of the tire size, the target coordinate is determined from multiple first center of gravity coordinates as the target position of the tailgate spare tire.

[0091] The installation condition of the tire size can be determined by combining the tire size with the distance limit of the rear bumper and the rear field of view. In some embodiments, the installation condition of the tire size can be P Z =710, the sheet metal structure boundary can be 4090≥P x ≥4050, the appearance boundary can be 200≥P y ≥0.

[0092] During the implementation process, the first center of gravity coordinate that meets the installation conditions of the sheet metal structure boundary, the appearance styling boundary and the tire size can be screened out from multiple first center of gravity coordinates; the first center of gravity coordinate with the smallest evaluation parameter among the screened out first center of gravity coordinates is determined as the target coordinate, and the target coordinate is used as the target position of the spare tire on the tailgate.

[0093] This process can be implemented in simulation software such as EXCEL software, CATIA software or MATLAB.

[0094] Taking a certain car model as an example, the first center coordinate H1 (3768,626,434), the second center coordinate H2 (3768,626,824), the coordinate of the tailgate lock engagement point H3 (3778,-562,706), the hinge axis R (3854,619), the second center of gravity coordinate O (3817,19,774), the gravity of the tailgate assembly G1 = 420N, the gravity of the spare tire G t =350N, first dynamic stiffness K1 = (3200, 9000, 13000), second dynamic stiffness K2 = (4000, 16500, 12500), sheet metal structure restriction requirement 4090 ≥ P x ≥4050, appearance restriction requirement 200≥P y ≥0, tire installation restriction requirement P z =710, and the optimal target coordinates P(4050,200,710) are obtained through EXCEL planning and solving.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application obtains the first center of gravity coordinates corresponding to each candidate position of the tailgate spare tire and the dynamic stiffness of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge; determines the spatial support force on the installation surface of the tailgate hinge according to the first center of gravity coordinates; determines the dynamic displacement of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge according to the spatial support force and the dynamic stiffness; and determines the target coordinates from multiple first center of gravity coordinates as the target position of the tailgate spare tire according to the dynamic displacement corresponding to each first center of gravity coordinate. Among them, the spatial support force on the installation surface of the tailgate hinge is calculated by parametric mechanics, the dynamic displacement of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge is calculated according to the dynamic stiffness and spatial support force of the installation surface of the tailgate hinge, and the dynamic displacement is used as an evaluation index, so that the optimal solution for the spare tire layout position can be screened out during the spare tire layout stage, which shortens the design cycle, saves manpower, and is conducive to the lightweight design of the tailgate and body support structure.
