Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle engineering, and in particular relates to a vehicle powertrain suspension system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The powertrain suspension system refers to the components that connect the powertrain (engine, starter motor, etc.) and the frame. The powertrain is the main excitation source of the car. As the main system to isolate the excitation, the performance of the powertrain suspension system directly affects the NVH level of the whole vehicle. The NVH level refers to the levels of noise (Noise), vibration (Vibration) and sound roughness (Harshness), which is an important indicator for evaluating the comfort and quality of the car.

[0003] In order to ensure NVH performance, the powertrain of existing vehicles is usually softly connected to the vehicle body through a powertrain suspension system. The stiffness of the powertrain suspension system is usually not too large. However, this will cause the vehicle using the existing powertrain suspension system to be difficult to suppress the amplitude of the powertrain after the impact is transmitted from the vehicle body to the powertrain when driving on bumpy roads. It is easy to cause the powertrain to vibrate up and down, and transmit it back to the vehicle body to drive the whole vehicle to vibrate, causing the impact to be amplified and residual vibration to be generated, seriously affecting the comfort of the vehicle when driving on bumpy roads. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a vehicle powertrain suspension system and a control method thereof to solve the problem that when a vehicle using the existing powertrain suspension system is driving on a bumpy road, after the impact is transmitted from the vehicle body to the powertrain, the existing powertrain suspension system is difficult to suppress the amplitude of the powertrain, which easily causes the powertrain to vibrate up and down, and transmits the impact in reverse to the vehicle body to drive the whole vehicle to vibrate, causing the impact to be amplified and generate residual vibration, seriously affecting the comfort of the vehicle when driving on a bumpy road.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a vehicle powertrain suspension system, comprising a visual perception unit, a judgment unit, a control unit, and a plurality of suspension mechanisms with adjustable stiffness;

[0006] Each of the suspension mechanisms is connected between the powertrain and the frame of the vehicle, and is used to attenuate the vibration transmission between the powertrain and the frame;

[0007] The visual perception unit is used to collect road surface image information in front of the vehicle and send the collected road surface image information to the judgment unit;

[0008] The judging unit is used to judge the road condition ahead of the vehicle according to the received road image information, and send smooth road condition information or bumpy road condition information to the control unit according to the judgment result;

[0009] The control unit is used to adjust the stiffness of each suspension mechanism according to the received smooth road condition information or the bumpy road condition information.

[0010] The judgment unit is used to judge the road condition in front of the vehicle according to the received road image information, and the control unit is used to adjust the stiffness of each suspension mechanism according to the received smooth road condition information or the bumpy road condition information; so that the powertrain suspension system of the vehicle provided by the present invention can adjust the stiffness of each suspension mechanism according to the different road conditions (bumpy road conditions or smooth road conditions) in front of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is traveling on a smooth road, each suspension mechanism is adjusted to a smaller stiffness to ensure the NVH performance of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is traveling on a bumpy road, the stiffness of each suspension mechanism is increased to ensure the NVH performance of the vehicle. The amplitude of the powertrain is suppressed to prevent the powertrain from vibrating up and down, and transmitting the impact in reverse to the vehicle body to drive the whole vehicle to vibrate, causing the impact to be amplified and residual vibration to occur, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle when driving on bumpy roads. The problem that when a vehicle using the existing powertrain suspension system drives on bumpy roads, after the impact is transmitted from the vehicle body to the powertrain, the existing powertrain suspension system is difficult to suppress the amplitude of the powertrain, which easily causes the powertrain to vibrate up and down, and transmits the impact in reverse to the vehicle body to drive the whole vehicle to vibrate, causing the impact to be amplified and residual vibration to occur, seriously affecting the comfort of the vehicle when driving on bumpy roads is solved.
