[0002] In the field of unmanned vehicles, especially when they are used on soft ground (such as deserts, swamps, snow, etc.), it is crucial to ensure that the vehicle has good passability and stability. Traditionally, the mobility assessment of vehicles in these complex terrains mainly relies on macroscopic mechanical models, which are usually based on the overall properties of the soil, such as hardness, compression modulus and friction coefficient. However, this method has obvious deficiencies in predicting the specific response of the soil when subjected to force, especially the settlement and deformation of fine-grained soil, resulting in inaccurate assessment results that are difficult to meet actual needs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a soil particle micro-parameter calibration method, device and unmanned vehicle simulation method. By integrating a wheel loader, a soil sample platform, an environmental sensor, a machine vision system, a settlement measurement device and a numerical calculation control unit, a highly automated experimental platform is constructed. The platform can apply different loads to the soil under controlled conditions and monitor the settlement and deformation of soil particles under stress in real time. More importantly, the present invention adopts an innovative inversion algorithm to automatically adjust and optimize the micro-parameters of soil particles by comparing the differences between the simulation calculation results and the experimental measurement results until the two reach the best match. This not only can accurately determine the key parameters that affect the mechanical properties of the soil, but also provides reliable data support for subsequent soil-wheel interaction simulation.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0105] A method for simulating an unmanned vehicle

[0106] In order to evaluate the passability of unmanned vehicles under different soil conditions, the discrete element method (DEM) based on soil mesoscopic particle parameters was used for simulation calculation. First, the geometric parameters and physical properties of soil particles, such as particle size distribution, were obtained through laboratory tests and image analysis. Then, these data were used to calibrate the mesoscopic parameters in the DEM model, including normal contact stiffness, tangential contact stiffness, particle friction coefficient, normal adhesion, and tangential adhesion. Then, the dynamic model of the unmanned vehicle was established, considering factors such as the mass, center of mass position, and tire characteristics of the vehicle. By coupling the unmanned vehicle model with the soil DEM model, the interaction between the tire and the soil during the vehicle's driving process was simulated, and the soil deformation, settlement, and shear stress responses were calculated. Finally, the simulation results were analyzed to evaluate the traction performance, sinking depth, and driving stability of the unmanned vehicle, so as to optimize the design and control strategy of the unmanned vehicle and improve its passability in complex terrain.

[0107] In the design process of a new type of unmanned vehicle, this embodiment is used to calibrate the mechanical performance parameters of different soil types. The calibrated parameters are input into the simulation platform to simulate the driving conditions of the unmanned vehicle on different soft roads. The key performance indicators such as the vehicle's pass rate, stability, and energy consumption are evaluated. The design parameters of the vehicle, such as tire type and suspension system, are adjusted according to the simulation results, which effectively improves the maneuverability of the vehicle. The effectiveness and reliability of this embodiment have been proven through multiple tests and verifications.
