[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] On the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for indirectly testing the stiffness of a leaf spring. By measuring under the condition of a whole vehicle, the stiffness of the leaf spring can be measured without disassembling the leaf spring, thereby reducing labor and disassembly time, and the theoretical stiffness value of the leaf spring stiffness can be indirectly obtained through the stiffness value under the whole vehicle, that is, the stiffness value under the whole vehicle (complex coupling system) and the corresponding theoretical stiffness value (the stiffness value calculated by leaf spring theory or the leaf spring stiffness test value under a single test bench) are obtained at the same time, which has certain guiding significance for the development of leaf springs, suspensions and even whole vehicles.

[0044] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following is a flow chart of the method for indirectly testing the stiffness of a leaf spring in this application. Figure 1As shown, the indirect methods for testing the stiffness of leaf springs include:

[0045] S1: Acceleration sensors are installed above and below the leaf spring to be tested, and all wheels of the vehicle are driven to fall from the same style platform at the same time;

[0046] S2: fitting the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object based on the relative acceleration between the accelerations recorded by the two acceleration sensors;

[0047] S3: According to the time intervals between the first and second times when the leaf spring is in the compression state in the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object and the sprung mass of the leaf spring to be tested, the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested is obtained.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment, acceleration sensors are arranged above and below the leaf spring to be tested, specifically including:

[0049] S101: an acceleration sensor is arranged on the vehicle frame above the leaf spring to be tested, and an acceleration sensor is arranged below the leaf spring to be tested;

[0050] Specifically, for the axle where the leaf spring to be tested is located, an acceleration sensor is installed at a corresponding position of the frame above it, and an acceleration sensor is also installed at a corresponding position below it (such as on the axle or the rim).

[0051] S102: A platform of the same type is placed in front of each axle of the vehicle, wherein the platform is a wedge-shaped convex block structure.

[0052] For the specific structure of the platform, see Figure 2 As shown, it is a rigid, hard wedge-shaped protrusion or other similar device (such as hardwood), the height H of the platform is 80mm~85mm, and the lateral width of the platform should ensure that the wheels of a single axle can all be placed on it. At the same time, the top surface of the platform has a certain angle, so that the wheels of the vehicle can move on the top surface of the platform and fall from the platform under the action of gravity.

[0053] For example, a vehicle includes two axles, namely a front axle and a rear axle. It is necessary to place a platform in front of the front axle and a platform in front of the rear axle. During subsequent testing, all wheels of the front axle are driven onto the platform in front of it, and all wheels of the front axle are also driven onto the platform in front of it.

[0054] Further, in one embodiment, driving all wheels of the vehicle to fall off from the same type of platform at the same time specifically includes:

[0055] S111: driving the wheels of the vehicle onto the platform, braking the vehicle, shifting the vehicle into neutral gear, and stopping the power;

[0056] Specifically, the wheels of each axle of the vehicle to be tested are driven onto the platform, and then the vehicle is braked, shifted into neutral, and the engine (or motor) is stopped. It should be noted that in order to ensure that multiple axles fall at the same time and reduce the frequency deviation measurement error caused by the coupling of multiple systems of the whole vehicle, the wheels of all axles must be stopped on the platform;

[0057] S112: releasing the brakes of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to move along the upper surface of the platform under the action of gravity, and all wheels of the vehicle to fall off the platform at the same time;

[0058] S113: The acceleration sensors above and below the leaf spring to be tested record acceleration data from the start of the fall to the stop of the vehicle.

[0059] Specifically, after the brakes of the vehicle are released, the vehicle moves along the upper surface of the platform under the action of gravity, and all wheels of the vehicle fall from the platform at the same time. When the wheels officially fall from the platform, the acceleration sensor starts to record acceleration data. When the vehicle stops, the acceleration sensor stops recording acceleration data.

[0060] Furthermore, in one embodiment, based on the relative acceleration between the accelerations recorded by the two acceleration sensors, a free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object is fitted, which specifically includes:

[0061] S201: Calculating the relative acceleration between the acceleration recorded by the acceleration sensor above the leaf spring to be tested and the acceleration recorded by the acceleration sensor below the leaf spring to be tested;

[0062] S202: performing low-pass filtering on the relative acceleration based on a set cutoff frequency, and fitting an acceleration-time curve based on the relative acceleration after the low-pass filtering to obtain a free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object.

[0063] Specifically, the relative acceleration between the accelerations recorded by the two acceleration sensors at the leaf spring to be tested is calculated by computer, and the relative acceleration is low-pass filtered with a cutoff frequency of 5 Hz, and then the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object is obtained by fitting, and the curve should be complete and without abnormalities. The sprung object is the object carried on the leaf spring.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested is obtained according to the time interval between the first and second times when the leaf spring is in the compressed state in the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object and the sprung mass of the leaf spring to be tested, which specifically includes:

[0065] S301: Obtaining a time interval between when the leaf spring is in a compressed state for the first time and when the leaf spring is in a compressed state for the second time in a free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object;

[0066] By reading the time when the leaf spring is in the compression state for the first time and the time when the leaf spring is in the compression state for the second time in the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object, the time interval between the two times is obtained;

[0067] S302: Obtaining a frequency based on the time interval, and calculating the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested according to the frequency and the sprung mass of the leaf spring to be tested.

[0068] In this application, the calculation of the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested specifically includes:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, C represents the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested. The stiffness C calculated at this time is the leaf spring stiffness of the whole vehicle in the dynamic state (i.e., the test stiffness), f represents the frequency, T represents the time interval between the first time the leaf spring is in compression and the second time the leaf spring is in compression in the free vibration attenuation curve of the sprung object, and P represents the sprung mass of the leaf spring to be tested, that is, the mass of the sprung object.

[0071] Furthermore, for the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested in the static state of the whole vehicle, the calculation method is:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, C1 represents the stiffness of the leaf spring to be tested in the static state of the whole vehicle, that is, the theoretical stiffness of the leaf spring (that is, static stiffness), k represents the adjustment coefficient, which is calculated based on the stiffness of the leaf spring of a similar vehicle model in the static state and the stiffness of the leaf spring of the whole vehicle in the dynamic state. Specifically, the adjustment coefficient k can be obtained by calculating the ratio between the static stiffness of similar vehicles (same number of axles, same series) and the test stiffness, and the adjustment coefficient k is a fixed value.

[0074] The implementation principle of the method for indirectly testing the stiffness of a leaf spring described in this application is described in detail below.

[0075] For the setting of sensors, an acceleration sensor is arranged on the upper suspension of the vehicle (above the suspension, for example, directly above the corresponding axle), and an acceleration sensor is arranged on the lower suspension of the vehicle (below the suspension). For the setting of the platform (or test device), its structural style is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it is a rigid, hard wedge-shaped protrusion or other similar device (such as hardwood), the height H of the platform is 80mm~85mm, a platform is arranged in front of each axle, and the lateral width of the platform should ensure that all the wheels of a single axle can be placed on it.

[0076] Drive the vehicle's wheels onto the platform, brake the vehicle, put it in neutral, stop the power operation, release the vehicle's brakes, and the vehicle moves along the upper surface of the platform under the action of gravity. All the wheels of the vehicle fall from the platform at the same time, and the rear end of the wheels touches the platform when they start to fall. The acceleration sensor records the acceleration data from the start of the fall to the vehicle's stop.

[0077] Of course, in actual applications, in addition to the above-mentioned rolling method, the vehicle's free vibration attenuation method can also be achieved by a drop method, a pull-down method, etc., but it is necessary to ensure that each axle drops at the same time.

[0078] The following analysis shows that when a vehicle falls from a hardwood (or other rigid device), its motion can be approximated as a free decay vibration, and the displacement x of its motion can be expressed as:

[0079]

[0080] Since the displacement is not easy to measure during the test, the acceleration expression is derived by taking the second-order derivative, which is:

[0081]

[0082] Where a represents acceleration, which is the second-order derivative of x, ω d , ω represents the intermediate quantity, ξ is the damping ratio, represents the initial phase, γ represents the intermediate quantity, γ=sin -1 ξ is used to represent the phase change brought about in the derivation process, C represents the stiffness of the vibration system (for this application, it is the stiffness of the leaf spring in the suspension), and m represents the mass of the vibrating object (for the vehicle system of this application, it is the mass of the sprung object).

[0083] The free vibration attenuation curve of a sprung object is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the abscissa represents time t, the ordinate represents acceleration a, A1 represents the peak value of the leaf spring in the free vibration attenuation curve when it is in compression for the first time, A2 represents the peak value of the leaf spring in the free vibration attenuation curve when it is in compression for the second time, and T represents the time interval when the leaf spring is in compression for the first time and when it is in compression for the second time in the free vibration attenuation curve.

[0084] The following conclusions can be drawn from the above theory:

[0085] 1.ω d It can be indirectly obtained by measuring the time interval T when the leaf spring is in the compression state for the first time and the second time in the free vibration attenuation curve, that is,

[0086] 2. The damping ratio can also be obtained indirectly by measuring the size of A1 and A2 in the curve, that is,

[0087] 3. Then we can get In the approximate case (ignoring the damping size), ω d ≈ω(The following derivations are based on ω d ≈ω is carried out).

[0088] On the other hand, according to the suspension theory, ω is further deduced:

[0089]

[0090] So the final frequency Wherein, P represents the gravity of the vibrating object (for the present application, that is, the sprung mass of the leaf spring, that is, the mass of the sprung object), and g represents the acceleration due to gravity.

[0091] Based on the above analysis, the magnitude of the frequency f can be obtained, that is, The size of, and at the end of the test stage, that is It should be noted that this test stiffness is regarded as the stiffness of the whole vehicle under dynamic conditions, which is different from the static stiffness C during forward development. 静 There are differences. In order to further obtain the static stiffness, it can be indirectly obtained through the static stiffness and test stiffness of existing similar models. The ratio between the test stiffness and static stiffness of existing similar models is approximately equal to the ratio between the test stiffness and static stiffness of the current vehicle to be tested. After data accumulation, the ratio between the test stiffness and static stiffness under different series is a known value, which can be recorded as k. In summary, the theoretical stiffness (static stiffness) of the leaf spring can be obtained, that is, Among them, C1 is C 静 .

[0092] In order to obtain the value of k under different strains, a certain amount of sample and quantity accumulation is needed in the early stage, and the values ​​of k corresponding to different strains and different numbers of axes are accumulated. Without loss of generality, it is recommended to accumulate 2 to 3 sample data for each subcategory, and take the average value to record as the size of k.

[0093] The method for indirectly testing the stiffness of a leaf spring in an embodiment of the present application links the stiffness of a leaf spring in a dynamic state of the whole vehicle with the stiffness of a leaf spring in a static state of the whole vehicle. By measuring under the condition of the whole vehicle, the theoretical stiffness of the leaf spring can be measured without disassembling the leaf spring, thereby reducing the labor and disassembly time. This has certain guiding significance for the development of leaf springs, suspensions and even whole vehicles, and there is no need to increase the number of additional tests subsequently.
