[0003] The existing patent discloses a vehicle drag coefficient test method (CN115266015A), which includes: step S1, sliding the vehicle on the road to obtain the road sliding resistance coefficient and road resistance; step S2, placing the vehicle on a hub test bench, performing a hub test, and obtaining the hub chassis resistance coefficient and hub chassis resistance; step S3, obtaining the windward area of ​​the vehicle; step S4, using the road resistance and hub chassis resistance, under set conditions, converting the hub chassis resistance into a road chassis resistance related to both the hub chassis resistance coefficient and the road sliding resistance coefficient. In the technology disclosed in the patent, due to factors such as engine heating at different positions of the vehicle, the air density and air flow rate above the vehicle will not be the same. Therefore, when testing the vehicle drag coefficient, more test points are required to make the wind resistance of the vehicle test more realistic. In addition, the sensors at each test point will interfere with each other, thereby increasing the measurement error. Summary of the invention

Four test positions are divided on the front of the vehicle, and each test position includes a main sensor and three calibration sensors; S3, collecting data from three correction sensors through the compensation optimization module, calculating the weight of the data collected by each correction sensor, and compensating the main sensor data according to the calculated weight; S4, feeding back the compensated collected data to the data analysis module; S5.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a method for testing a vehicle drag coefficient testing system comprises the following steps: Step 1: Calculate the front projection area of ​​the vehicle and use the vehicle model to obtain the vehicle's air resistance in a wind tunnel experiment.

[0023] Step 2: Four test positions are set up on the front of the vehicle, and each test position contains a main sensor and three calibration sensors. The main sensor and calibration sensor are composed of an air pressure sensor, an air velocity sensor, and a temperature sensor (such as Figure 3 as shown).

[0024] Step 3: Collect data from three correction sensors through the compensation optimization module, calculate the weight of the data collected by each correction sensor, and compensate the main sensor data according to the calculated weight.

[0025] Step 4: Feedback the compensated collected data to the data analysis module. The data analysis module analyzes the vehicle's drag coefficient based on the vehicle speed measured by the GPS and the vehicle front projection area and air resistance provided by the data acquisition module.

[0026] Example 1 like Figure 1 - As shown in Figure 3, according to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle drag coefficient testing system is provided, including a data analysis module, a compensation optimization module, a GPS positioning module, a data acquisition module and a sensor; the sensor includes an air pressure sensor, an air flow rate sensor and a temperature sensor: the air pressure sensor is used to collect the air pressure at the test point; the air flow rate sensor is used to collect the air flow rate at the test point; the temperature sensor is used to collect the air temperature at the test point.

[0027] The data analysis module is used to determine the drag coefficient of the vehicle under different temperature environments based on the parameters of the air velocity sensor and temperature sensor at the test point, the vehicle speed monitored by the GPS positioning module, and the vehicle front projection area and the wind resistance of the vehicle at the corresponding speed provided by the data acquisition module; the compensation optimization module provides compensation for the data monitored by the main sensor at the same time based on the data monitored by the three correction sensors at each test point. The GPS positioning module is used to collect the real-time driving speed of the vehicle and feed the collected real-time speed back to the data analysis module. The data acquisition module is used to obtain the vehicle front projection area and the air resistance of the vehicle model at different speeds collected from the wind tunnel experiment.

[0028] Example 2 like Figure 1 As shown, the data analysis module determines the air density at different test locations based on the temperature, gas constant and air pressure measured by the sensors at different test locations, which are:

[0029] In the formula, represents the air density at different sensor positions, is the gas constant of air, represents the temperature measured by the sensor at the test location, Indicates the air pressure at different sensor positions.

[0030] The data analysis module determines the drag coefficient of the vehicle at different sensor test locations and different temperature environments based on the vehicle's speed, the air resistance received by the vehicle, the speed of the air flow, and the front projection area of ​​the vehicle. Then:

[0031] In the formula, It indicates the drag coefficient of the vehicle. It represents the air resistance of the vehicle at the corresponding speed. Indicates the air velocity measured at the test point. represents the frontal projection area of ​​the vehicle, Represents the air density at different sensor positions.

[0032] Among them, the data of the sensor at the test position 1 is collected. The temperature measured by the sensor at the test position 1 is (℃). The air pressure at the sensor position at test position 1 is (Pa). The gas constant of air is J / (kg·K). Then we have:

[0033] From the above calculation, we can know that the air density at test position 1 is ( ).

[0034] Among them, the air flow rate measured at test point 1 is (m / s). The air resistance of the vehicle at the corresponding speed is (N). The front projection area of ​​the vehicle is (㎡), then we have:

[0035] From the above calculation, we can know that taking the parameters of test position 1 as the reference index, the drag coefficient of the vehicle is . Then when other test positions are used as reference indicators, there are: From the above table data, we can know that due to factors such as engine heat, the air density and air flow rate above the vehicle will be different at different locations on the front of the vehicle. Therefore, when testing the vehicle's drag coefficient, more test points are needed to make the vehicle's wind resistance more realistic, so as to ensure that the vehicle's drag coefficient is closer to the actual situation.

[0036] Example 3 like Figure 3 As shown, the compensation optimization module determines the weight of the detected data according to the average value of the data collected by the straightening sensor at the same time, which is:

[0037] In the formula, represents the weight of the data detected by the i-th calibration sensor, represents the data monitored by the i-th calibration sensor, It represents the average value of the data collected by three alignment sensors at the same time.

[0038] The compensation optimization module provides compensation for the data monitored by the main sensor at the same time according to the compensation data monitored by the three correction sensors at the corresponding time and the composition weights of the data detected by the three correction sensors. Then:

[0039] In the formula, Represents the sensor data after data compensation by three calibration sensors, Indicates the data monitored by the main sensor. represents the data monitored by the i-th calibration sensor, represents the weight of the data detected by the i-th calibration sensor, Indicates the number of the calibration sensor.

[0040] The temperature sensor in the main sensor at test point 1 monitors the temperature of test position 1. The temperature parameter range of the main sensor is (℃), and the temperature parameters collected by calibration sensors 1, 2, and 3 are taken in turn (℃) (℃) (℃). Then we can take: , , , , so the average value of the data collected by the three alignment sensors at the same time is:

[0041] Then, the weight of the data detected by the i-th correction sensor is: Then we have:

[0042] From the above calculation, we can know that the sensor data after the data compensation of the three calibration sensors is (℃).

[0043] The above method provides compensation for the data monitored by the main sensor at the same time by monitoring the compensation data at the corresponding time through the three correction sensors and the composition weights of the data detected by the three correction sensors, so that the data monitored by the sensor at the test position is more consistent with the actual situation.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
