Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, with the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry, improving the overall vehicle energy utilization efficiency has become a core key that urgently needs to be broken through in the field of technological innovation. A large number of research results clearly show that when a new energy vehicle is driving under ordinary urban road conditions, the energy consumed by the suspension damper accounts for a very considerable proportion, up to more than 20% of the engine output energy. However, unfortunately, this part of the energy is not effectively utilized, but is unreservedly released into the environment in the form of heat energy, resulting in serious waste of energy. In the current global trend of advocating energy conservation, emission reduction and green travel, it is extremely urgent to develop efficient energy recovery technologies. Once the energy lost by the suspension damper can be accurately converted into electrical energy, the cruising range of new energy vehicles is expected to achieve a qualitative leap. This can not only greatly alleviate users' concerns about insufficient cruising range, that is, the so-called "range anxiety", but also significantly enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of new energy vehicles in the market, inject strong impetus into the new energy vehicle industry to move towards a new stage of high-efficiency and sustainable development, and strongly promote its wide popularization and application globally.

[0006] Limited by the suspension space and complex road condition excitations, when the motor works in the suspension system, the rotational speed generally remains at a low level. This makes it difficult for the motor to fit into its efficient working range, thereby resulting in low energy conversion efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Long-term practice has found that the following key technical problems exist in electromagnetic energy-harvesting suspensions:

[0008] 1. The vibration characteristics of the suspension do not match the efficient operating range of the motor. Due to limitations in suspension space and road condition excitation, the operating speed of the motor is generally low, resulting in insufficient energy conversion efficiency. If a speed-increasing device is used to increase the speed, not only will new frictional resistance be added, but also backlash impact will be introduced, deteriorating the vibration damping effect.

[0009] 2. There is a fundamental contradiction between vibration damping performance and power generation efficiency. Increasing the electromagnetic damping can improve the power generation efficiency, but it will significantly reduce the riding comfort. In addition, when the energy-harvesting actuator is directly placed between the sprung and unsprung masses, its own inertia will deteriorate the vibration damping performance.

[0010] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an inertia-enhanced electromagnetic energy-harvesting suspension system, including: a first lead screw assembly, a flywheel, a permanent magnet synchronous motor, a second lead screw assembly, and a shock absorber housing. One end of the first lead screw assembly can be connected to the vehicle body through a first fixed connecting rod; the other end of the first lead screw assembly is fixedly connected to the flywheel, and the end of the first lead screw assembly connecting the flywheel is connected to one end of the shock absorber housing through a bearing; the flywheel can be placed in the cavity of the shock absorber housing;

[0011] The permanent magnet synchronous motor can be fixedly arranged in the shock absorber housing, and the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected to the second lead screw assembly, and the second lead screw assembly can be connected to the tire through a fixed seat.

The first lead screw nut is detachably connected to the first fixed connecting rod; a movement space for the first lead screw shaft is provided inside the first fixed connecting rod; the first lead screw shaft can be coaxially and fixedly arranged with the first fixed connecting rod through the first lead screw nut.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second lead screw assembly includes a second lead screw nut and a second lead screw shaft.

[0015] In one embodiment, the shock absorber housing includes an upper end cover, a lower end cover, and a housing body. The upper end cover and the lower end cover are respectively detachably connected to the housing body.

[0016] In one embodiment, a main spring is sleeved outside the shock absorber housing. One end of the main spring is fixedly connected to a first fixed connecting rod through an upper spring seat; the other end of the main spring is fixedly connected to a second fixed connecting rod through a lower spring seat;

The permanent magnet synchronous motor can be fixedly arranged in the shock absorber housing, and the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected to a second lead screw assembly to form an electromagnetic energy - harvesting structure, that is, an electromagnetic damper. And the secondary spring and the electromagnetic damper are installed in parallel and jointly connected in series with the inertia container to form a tuning unit. The vibration inside the inertia - capacitance tuning configuration is not synchronous with the main structure, and this asynchronous vibration amplifies the relative displacement inside the system, thereby significantly increasing the operating speed of the motor and realizing efficient power generation.

Detailed description of the specific implementation mode

[0035] The following will describe in detail the specific implementation mode of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation mode described herein is only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so as to implement the embodiments of the present invention described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0038] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art that, limited by the suspension space and complex road condition excitations, when the motor works in the suspension system, the rotational speed generally remains at a low level. This makes it difficult for the motor to fit into its efficient working range, thereby resulting in low energy conversion efficiency and other technical problems. Since the suspension vibration characteristics do not match the efficient working range of the motor. Limited by the suspension space and road condition excitations, the working rotational speed of the motor is generally at a low level, resulting in poor energy conversion efficiency. If a speed increasing device is used to increase the rotational speed, not only will new frictional resistances be added, but also backlash impacts will be caused, thereby deteriorating the damping effect. There is a fundamental contradiction between the damping performance and the power generation efficiency. Although increasing the electromagnetic damping can improve the power generation efficiency, it will significantly reduce the riding comfort. In addition, when the energy harvesting actuator is directly arranged between the sprung and unsprung masses, its own inertia will have an adverse effect on the damping performance. The present invention provides an inertia capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy harvesting suspension system, as Figure 1-7 shown in the schematic diagram of an inertia capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy harvesting suspension system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The inertia capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy harvesting suspension system includes a first lead screw assembly 9, a flywheel 7, a permanent magnet synchronous motor 6, a second lead screw assembly 11, and a shock absorber housing 10. One end of the first lead screw assembly 9 can be connected to the vehicle body 1 through a first fixed connecting rod 8; the other end of the first lead screw assembly 9 is fixedly connected to the flywheel 7, and the end of the first lead screw assembly 9 connecting the flywheel 7 is connected to one end of the shock absorber housing 10 through a bearing; the flywheel 7 can be placed in the cavity of the shock absorber housing 10;

[0039] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 can be fixedly arranged in the shock absorber housing 10. The power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 is connected with the second lead screw assembly 11, and the second lead screw assembly 11 can be connected with the tire 3 through the fixed seat 4.

[0040] An inertia - capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension system disclosed by the present invention, by arranging a first lead screw assembly, a flywheel, a permanent magnet synchronous motor, a second lead screw assembly, and a shock absorber housing, combines the first lead screw assembly with the flywheel and connects them to the shock absorber housing through bearings; the flywheel can be placed in the cavity of the shock absorber housing, thus forming an inertia - capacitance tuning configuration, namely an inertia - capacitance device. The permanent magnet synchronous motor can be fixedly arranged in the shock absorber housing, and the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected with the second lead screw assembly to form an electromagnetic energy - harvesting structure, namely an electromagnetic damper. And the auxiliary spring is installed in parallel with the electromagnetic damper, and together they are connected in series with the inertia - capacitance device to form a tuning unit. The vibration inside the inertia - capacitance tuning configuration is not synchronized with the main structure, and this asynchronous vibration amplifies the relative displacement inside the system, thereby significantly increasing the operating speed of the motor and achieving efficient power generation. Compared with the traditional electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension, the inertia - capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension system provided by the present invention can introduce the inertia - capacitance tuning configuration into the electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension, significantly improving the energy conversion efficiency of the system, and at the same time solving the performance contradictions in the electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension and achieving effective decoupling of the shock - absorption performance and the power - generation efficiency.

[0041] As Figure 5 shown in the schematic diagram, in the inertia - capacitance enhanced electromagnetic energy - harvesting suspension system disclosed by the present invention, the stiffness of the auxiliary spring 5 is k, the electromagnetic energy - harvesting damper 25 is composed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a second lead screw assembly, the electromagnetic damping coefficient in the electromagnetic energy - harvesting damper 25 is c, that is, after the auxiliary spring and the electromagnetic energy - harvesting damper are connected in parallel, they are then connected in series with the inertia - capacitance device 26 to form the core tuning unit, and the inertia - capacitance coefficient of the inertia - capacitance device 26 is b. The main spring provides the basic support stiffness. Among them, m s is the sprung mass, m u is the unsprung mass, Kt is the tire stiffness, and K is the main spring stiffness. When the tire 3 contacts the ground 24, it receives the road surface displacement q from the ground, which is converted into the tire displacement x u , and further converted into the displacement x b of the inertia - capacitance device 26, and finally to the displacement x s of the vehicle body. When the vehicle passes through an uneven road surface, the unsprung mass is excited to vibrate. At this time, the core tuning unit modulates the vibration energy through its dynamic characteristics and realizes efficient modulation of the vibration energy by using the inertia - capacitance tuning principle. The vibration inside the inertia - capacitance tuning configuration is not synchronized with the main structure, and this asynchronous vibration can amplify the relative displacement inside the system, thereby significantly increasing the operating speed of the motor and achieving efficient power generation.

[0042] In order to better fix the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 to the shock absorber housing 10, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bearing is provided between the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 and the shock absorber housing 10. At the same time, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity wall of the shock absorber housing 10 through a motor bracket 27. The connection between the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 and the shock absorber housing 10 is more stable and does not cause movement interference. In a more preferred case, at least one bearing is provided between the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 and the shock absorber housing 10. Preferably, 2 self-aligning bearings are provided to ensure the coaxiality requirement between the power output shaft and the shock absorber housing 10. The power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 is coaxially connected to the second lead screw shaft 21 through a coupling 20, that is, the ends of the two shafts are connected to ensure that the center lines of the two shafts are on the same axis. When the vehicle passes through an uneven road surface, the unsprung mass is excited to generate vibration. The mechanical vibration is converted into rotational motion by the ball screw, and the permanent magnet synchronous motor converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, and the recovered electrical energy is stored in the battery through the energy harvesting circuit.

[0043] In order to better convert the vibration energy into the rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel 7, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first lead screw assembly 9 includes a first lead screw nut 16 and a first lead screw shaft 15, and the first lead screw nut 16 is detachably connected to the first fixed connecting rod 8; a movement space for the first lead screw shaft 15 is provided inside the first fixed connecting rod 8; the first lead screw shaft 15 can be fixedly arranged coaxially with the first fixed connecting rod 8 through the first lead screw nut 16. That is, when the suspension moves up and down to generate displacement, a relative displacement occurs between the first lead screw nut 16 and the first lead screw shaft 15, which means that the inerter 26 generates a displacement x b . This displacement is converted into the rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel 7 through the first lead screw assembly 9, and within a certain period of time afterwards, the rotational kinetic energy is converted into asynchronous vibration to achieve efficient modulation of the vibration energy and make the vibration inside the inerter tuning configuration out of sync with the main structure of the suspension. The asynchronous vibration amplifies the relative displacement inside the system, increases the operating speed of the motor, and realizes efficient power generation.

[0044] In order to better convert the vibration generated during vehicle driving into the rotational kinetic energy of the power output shaft of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second lead screw assembly 11 includes a second lead screw nut 22 and a second lead screw shaft 21, and the second lead screw nut 22 is detachably connected to the second fixed connecting rod 12; a movement space for the second lead screw shaft 21 is provided inside the second fixed connecting rod 12; the second lead screw shaft 21 can be fixedly arranged coaxially with the second fixed connecting rod 12 through the second lead screw nut 22.

[0045] In order to better assemble the shock absorber housing 10, the second lead screw assembly 11, the first lead screw assembly 9, and the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shock absorber housing 10 includes an upper end cover 17, a lower end cover 19, and a housing body 18. The upper end cover 17 and the lower end cover 19 are respectively detachably connected to the housing body 18. In a more preferred case, the upper end cover 17 is connected to the housing body 18 by bolts, and the lower end cover 19 is connected to the housing body 18 by bolts.

[0046] In order to achieve a better shock absorption effect, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, a main spring 2 is sleeved outside the shock absorber housing 10. One end of the main spring 2 is fixedly connected to the first fixed connecting rod 8 through a spring upper seat 14; the other end of the main spring 2 is fixedly connected to the second fixed connecting rod 12 through a spring lower seat 23;

[0047] An elastic element 13 is provided between the first fixed connecting rod 8 and the vehicle body 1.

[0048] In order to make the auxiliary spring and the electromagnetic energy harvesting damper in parallel, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary spring 5 is provided between the shock absorber housing 10 and the spring lower seat 23.

[0049] In order to control the energy harvesting and damping coefficient through the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inertia - enhanced electromagnetic energy harvesting suspension system further includes an energy harvesting circuit, a control module, and a battery; the permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 is electrically connected to the energy harvesting circuit and the control module respectively, and the energy harvesting circuit and the control module are electrically connected to the battery respectively. The permanent magnet synchronous motor 6 adopts a proportional control strategy based on speed feedback. The encoder real - time collects the motor speed signal, and the control module calculates the desired torque according to the speed, and adjusts the motor load characteristics through power electronic devices to achieve the closed - loop control of electromagnetic damping. This control strategy has the characteristics of simple structure and fast response, which is convenient for engineering implementation. For example, the minimum limits of the vehicle body acceleration a and the reciprocal of the generated power x, where the generated power is the integral of the power generation power, are as Figure 7 shown. The minimum vehicle body acceleration of the traditional energy harvesting suspension is 0.7141 m / s 2 . The inertia - enhanced electromagnetic energy harvesting suspension system improves the generated power by 10.3% under the condition of maintaining the same vehicle body acceleration.

[0050] The ball screw drive transmits power through the rolling of balls between the screw and the nut. The rolling friction coefficient is much smaller than the sliding friction coefficient. Therefore, the transmission efficiency can be as high as over 90%. Compared with the traditional sliding screw drive, it can effectively reduce energy loss and improve energy utilization rate. In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first screw rod assembly 9 and the second screw rod assembly 11 include ball screws. The ball screw drive realizes efficient forward and reverse transmission, that is, it can convert rotational motion into linear motion and also convert linear motion into rotational motion.
