Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric drive systems for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a method for evaluating the vibration and noise transmission path of an electric drive system. Background Art

[0002] NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance is a key indicator of vehicle comfort and quality. In traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, engine noise can mask other noise sources to a certain extent, thereby reducing the driver and passengers' perception of the vehicle's overall noise. However, for new energy vehicles, the electric drive system, as its core power source, generates vibration noise during operation that lacks the masking effect of engine noise, making it more easily perceived by the driver and passengers. As consumers' demand for vehicle quietness continues to increase, the NVH performance of electric drive systems has become a core factor affecting the competitiveness of new energy vehicles in the market, and vehicle manufacturers' requirements for NVH performance of electric drive systems are also increasing.

[0003] However, the electric drive system is a complex multi-physics coupling system, involving the interaction of multiple disciplines such as electromagnetics, mechanics, and acoustics. This multi-disciplinary coupling makes it difficult for traditional single-disciplinary analysis methods to fully reveal the transmission mechanism of vibration noise in the electric drive system. In addition, the excitation sources in the electric drive system exhibit diverse characteristics. For example, multiple excitations such as bearing forces, gear meshing forces, and motor electromagnetic forces are mutually coupled, making them difficult to separate and analyze individually. At the same time, the transmission path of vibration noise also exhibits nonlinear characteristics. For example, the vibration of the suspension mounting point is transmitted to the vehicle interior through the complex body structure, and the suspension components themselves have nonlinear characteristics, which further increases the difficulty of analyzing the vibration and noise transmission path of the electric drive system.

[0004] Therefore, in order to quickly and accurately resolve the problems of abnormal vibration, noise or acoustic harshness in specific areas or frequency bands within the vehicle caused by the transmission of electric drive vibration and noise during vehicle operation, there is an urgent need for an effective evaluation method for the vibration and noise transmission path of the electric drive system. This method can conduct in-depth analysis of the transmission path and enable R&D personnel to optimize the electric drive system through targeted analysis, thereby significantly improving the comfort of drivers and passengers.

Furthermore, by performing order analysis based on transmission path requirements or noise control needs, it is possible to accurately extract the single-order bearing force excitation force at the target order frequency of interest, thereby precisely locating the excitation source that has a critical impact on vibration and noise.

[0085] This method identifies the order of interest and the corresponding excitation force through specific analysis requirements, significantly enhancing the relevance of subsequent research on vibration and noise in electric drive systems. When conducting vibration transmission path analysis, the research focus can be placed on the transmission of specific order excitation forces within the system, clarifying the vibration propagation path and key links.

[0087] The present invention limits the input interval of external excitation, that is, by setting a smaller input interval, it can capture the excitation characteristics more accurately and avoid missing important excitation information due to excessively large intervals, so as to facilitate a more comprehensive analysis of the vibration and noise characteristics of the electric drive system under various working conditions and effectively improve the simulation accuracy.

[0088] Preferably, in step 5), the specific steps of loading the single bearing force order excitation force determined in step 4) to the finite element model and calculating the node vibration velocity and equivalent sound power of each analysis surface are as follows:

[0093] By applying a single bearing force order excitation force to the finite element model, this method can more accurately simulate the vibration state of the electric drive system under specific excitation. By analyzing the vibration velocity of the nodes on each analysis surface, the actual vibration conditions of each component can be effectively and accurately reflected, providing a detailed data foundation for subsequent analysis of the vibration response of each component and improving the accuracy of subsequent assessments of the sound radiation capacity of each analysis surface.

[0094] Preferably, in step 7), the specific method of establishing the sound radiation energy curve diagram and the suspension vibration response hotspot diagram based on the acoustic vibration response calculation results of the electric drive system is as follows:

[0095] 7-1) The specific steps for establishing the sound radiation energy curve are as follows:

[0107] 7-2) Based on the mean vibration acceleration and the excitation force path, establish a hotspot map of the suspension vibration response under each bearing excitation path at each order.

[0108] This invention accurately quantifies the acoustic radiation characteristics of electric drive systems by converting the physical quantity of sound power into a more intuitive sound pressure level that better reflects human auditory perception. Furthermore, by introducing a frequency threshold to correct the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level, the corrected equivalent amplitude can more accurately reflect the actual sound radiation, highly consistent with acoustic principles and practical engineering requirements.

[0118] Glossary:

[0119] Joint: A joint element is an abstract unit used to describe the mechanical connection between two or more components in a mechanical system. It defines the relative motion and force transfer characteristics between components through constraints, stiffness characteristics, and excitation inputs. In the electric drive system dynamics model of this application, the joint element is a core element in constructing the system's dynamic response, directly affecting the transmission path and energy distribution of vibration noise.

[0120] Mounting points: These are the mechanical connections between the electric drive system (e.g., motor, reducer, controller, etc.) and the vehicle structure (e.g., frame, subframe). Mounts (typically rubber or hydraulic vibration isolation elements) are attached to these points with bolts and other fasteners, buffering the vibration and noise of the electric drive system from being transmitted to the vehicle body.

[0121] Finite Element Model: A finite element model (FEM) is a numerical analysis tool based on discretization. It decomposes a continuous physical structure into a finite number of units (such as tetrahedrons and hexahedrons) and establishes mechanical equilibrium equations at the unit nodes, thereby approximating mathematical models for solving complex engineering problems. In vibration and noise analysis of electric drive systems, finite element models are used to simulate structural vibration response and acoustic radiation characteristics, providing key data support for transmission path decomposition.

[0122] Surface of interest: A surface of interest refers to a specific external surface area in the electric drive system whose contribution to sound radiation needs to be analyzed.

[0123] Orders of Interest: "Orders of interest" refer to the specific vibration orders of interest when analyzing vibration and noise in electric drive systems. These orders are often directly related to key excitation sources within the system (such as gear meshing, electromagnetic forces, and rotating component imbalances). They are key parameters for locating noise sources and quantifying transmission paths.

[0124] Single bearing force order excitation force: refers to the excitation force extracted from the electric drive system dynamics model for a single bearing in a single direction (X / Y / Z) at a specific order frequency. It consists of three core elements, namely, single bearing force: the bearing force in a single direction of a single bearing (such as the X direction of the input shaft bearing); order excitation force: the excitation force corresponding to a specific vibration order (such as the gear meshing order, electromagnetic force order); frequency domain characteristics: containing amplitude and phase information for accurate analysis of the vibration transmission path. In this invention, the "single bearing force order excitation force" is used as the minimum unit for vibration noise analysis of the electric drive system. By independently quantifying the contribution of each bearing direction at a specific order, a refined decomposition of the transmission path is achieved.

[0125] Global Cartesian Coordinate System: A global Cartesian coordinate system is a unified, fixed coordinate system defined in a specific system or scene, used to uniquely determine the position and orientation of all objects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0131] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a method for evaluating the vibration noise transmission path of an electric drive system is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0132] 1) Construct a dynamic model based on the electric drive system;

[0133] The dynamic model includes the mechanical components and connections of the electric drive system. Mechanical components include surface-covered metal parts such as the housing, controller cover, resolver cover, and water jacket, as well as various closely mounted structures. It also includes the entire shaft system and the motor's stator and rotor components. Connections include bearing connections, gear connections, and motor connections.

[0134] In the process of building a dynamic model, its parameters need to be accurately set. For bearing connections, various design parameters need to be clarified, such as the bearing model, stiffness, damping and other key indicators; for gear connections, not only must its macro parameters, including module, number of teeth, tooth width, etc., be determined, but also micro parameters such as tooth profile error and tooth direction error need to be considered; and for motor connections, under specific analysis conditions, information such as stator radial force, tangential force and rotor torque fluctuation needs to be included. By accurately setting these parameters, it can be ensured that the model can truly and accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics of the electric drive system in actual operation.

[0135] 2) Using the dynamic model, the specific method of constructing the finite element model of the electric drive system is as follows:

[0136] 2-1) Extract key parameters of the kinetic model;

[0137] Based on the dynamic model constructed in step 1), accurately extract the stiffness (i.e., connection stiffness) and damping-related information for all joints. Specifically, for bearing joints, extract the radial stiffness, axial stiffness, and damping coefficient; for gear joints, obtain parameters such as tooth contact stiffness and meshing damping; and for motor joints, obtain data such as the stator-housing connection stiffness and electromagnetic damping.

[0138] 2-2) Based on the extracted key parameters of the dynamic model, the dynamic model is simplified into a vibroacoustic calculation model that retains the mass, stiffness, and damping characteristics of the electric drive system under motion conditions. This vibroacoustic calculation model provides a complete framework for vibration and noise analysis of the electric drive system, encompassing the coupled calculation of structural vibration and acoustic radiation.

[0139] 2-3) Based on the acoustic-vibration calculation model, a finite element model is constructed. This finite element model serves as the core tool for quantitative analysis of the vibration and noise of the electric drive system. Its key role is to convert the theoretical parameters of the dynamic model into quantifiable acoustic-vibration response data, thereby providing data support for subsequent contribution evaluation.

[0140] 3) Identify the sound radiating outer surfaces of the electric drive system, and select multiple key areas (i.e., determine the key sound radiation areas that need to be optimized) from all the sound radiating outer surfaces of the electric drive system as surfaces of interest based on the vibration transfer path analysis requirements or noise control requirements. The above-mentioned surfaces of interest are areas on the sound radiating outer surfaces of the electric drive system that have a greater impact on vibration and noise. In other words, the surfaces of interest are also key areas selected through vibration response analysis and modal evaluation. Their function is to focus on high-contribution sound radiation sources. By selecting surfaces of interest, the efficiency of NVH optimization of the electric drive system can be effectively improved.

[0141] Furthermore, each surface of interest is divided into multiple sub-regions according to structural features, and each sub-region is subjected to finite element meshing, that is, divided into q analysis surfaces.

[0142] 4) Based on the vibration transfer path analysis requirements or noise control requirements, determine the order of interest and the single bearing force order excitation force that needs to be loaded at the order frequency of interest. The specific steps are as follows:

[0143] 4-1) Input external excitation to obtain the time-domain signals of the bearing forces acting on the outer rings of each bearing in the electric drive system at different steady-state speeds. By obtaining these time-domain signals at different steady-state speeds, transient interference can be effectively eliminated, resulting in stable characteristic signals, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent order analysis.

[0144] The external excitation includes electromagnetic excitation and tooth surface microscopic parameter meshing excitation, and in order to accurately reflect the characteristics of electromagnetic excitation and tooth surface microscopic parameter meshing excitation, there are requirements for the angular interval of the input and output results of the external excitation. Among them, electromagnetic excitation has high-frequency characteristics, and a smaller input interval can effectively avoid the signal aliasing phenomenon caused by insufficient sampling, thereby ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the time domain force signal. Therefore, making the input interval of electromagnetic excitation ≤0.2deg can effectively ensure that the waveform characteristics are fully captured in the dynamic changes of electromagnetic excitation such as motor stator radial force, tangential force and rotor torque fluctuations, and the output result point interval is ≤0.4deg.

[0145] During gear meshing, small changes in microscopic parameters can have significant effects at high frequencies (such as the meshing frequency and its multiples). A smaller input interval accurately reflects the transient characteristics of tooth contact and prevents mesh excitation distortion caused by sparse sampling. Therefore, the input interval for mesh excitation of tooth surface parameters is set to ≤0.1 degrees. Taking into account the input requirements of electromagnetic excitation and gear mesh excitation, the output result points are kept at a spacing of no more than 0.1 degrees, fully preserving the high-frequency details of the excitation signal.

[0146] In this embodiment, according to the input interval limit of the electromagnetic excitation and the tooth surface surrounding parameter meshing excitation, the output interval of the obtained bearing force time domain signal can be made no higher than 0.1deg (i.e. ≤0.1deg). In addition, when obtaining the bearing force time domain signal, it is necessary to ensure that the rotating component of interest rotates at least 2 circles (i.e. 720deg) under steady-state working conditions at different speeds to obtain at least 7200 time domain output results. For example, if the order of interest is the first-level gear meshing order, then at least the axis with the smaller rotation degree among the axes where the meshing gears are located (the axis system where the gear with more teeth among the two gears is located) is guaranteed to move more than two circles.

[0147] 4-2) Decompose the acquired bearing force time domain signals of each bearing outer ring using the global Carr coordinate system to obtain the bearing forces of each bearing connection pair outer ring in the X, Y, and Z directions, i.e., single bearing forces. In this embodiment, the electric drive system includes seven bearings. The acquired bearing forces acting on the seven bearing outer rings are decomposed into 21 single bearing forces in the X, Y, and Z directions in the global Carr coordinate system, which serve as 21 independent excitation forces.

[0148] The following formula is used to perform discrete Fourier transform on the above 21 single bearing forces (i.e., 21 independent excitation forces) to obtain single bearing force frequency domain signals. The single bearing force frequency domain signals retain the frequency domain amplitude and phase information of each single bearing force:

[0149]

[0150] Where, X k is the frequency domain value, X n is the time domain value, N is the number of sampling points, k is the frequency domain signal number, which is an integer in the range [0, N-1], π is the circumference of the circle, and j is the imaginary part.

[0151] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent frequency domain calculations, when obtaining the bearing force time domain signal, the time domain signal length should ensure that the frequency resolution is not less than 1 Hz, and the sampling time interval should ensure that the maximum value of the analysis frequency is not less than twice the frequency corresponding to the highest speed point of the order of interest.

[0152] 4-3) Determine the order of interest based on vibration transfer path analysis requirements or noise control requirements;

[0153] 4-4) Determine the frequency of the order of interest based on the order of interest and the following formula:

[0154]

[0155] Where f is the frequency of the order of interest corresponding to the order of interest at the current speed; s is the speed in rpm; order is the order of interest;

[0156] In this embodiment, according to the vibration transfer path analysis requirement or the noise control requirement, the order of interest is determined to be 27, and the current rotation speed f is 6000 rpm. That is, the frequency of the order of interest can be determined to be 2700 Hz through the above formula.

[0157] 4-5) According to the single bearing force frequency domain signal, extract the corresponding single bearing force frequency domain signal at the target order frequency, including amplitude and phase results, and obtain one or more single bearing force order excitation forces F that need to be loaded. lTable 1 below shows the order frequency, amplitude, and phase results for the 27th-order gear meshing in the X-axis direction of the input shaft bearing in this embodiment. Since order calculation only requires analyzing the excitation frequency corresponding to the speed point, order force extraction can effectively reduce the computational time and resources required for order frequency-domain excitation calculations.

[0160] 5) The single bearing force order excitation force F determined in step 4) is l Load the finite element model and calculate the nodal vibration velocity and equivalent sound power in each analysis surface to quantify the contribution of each surface of interest of the electric drive system to the assembly sound radiation.

[0161] 5-1) Apply one or more single-order bearing force excitations extracted in step 4) to the corresponding nodes in the finite element model (i.e., the finite element model nodes of each bearing outer ring roller contact surface). This ensures that the excitation force is consistent with the actual transmission path, thereby obtaining the vibration velocity of all nodes within each analysis surface. The node vibration velocity is actually the instantaneous velocity vector of each discrete node in the finite element model during vibration, including components in the X, Y, and Z directions. The vibration velocity of each node represents the local vibration characteristics of that location.

[0162] 5-2) Based on the vibration velocities of all nodes within each analysis surface, the equivalent sound power of each analysis surface is obtained to facilitate the evaluation of the contribution of different areas to sound radiation. The calculation formula for obtaining the equivalent sound power of each analysis surface is as follows:

[0163]

[0164] Where P is the equivalent sound power; d is the gain coefficient; ρ is the air density under calculation conditions, in kg / m 2 ; c is the sound pressure wave velocity under calculation conditions, unit is m / s; A i is the equivalent area of ​​the ith node, in m 2 ;v i is the vibration velocity of the i-th node in the analysis plane, in m / s.

[0165] 6) Decompose the suspension vibration propagation path, and obtain the vibration accelerations in the X, Y, and Z directions based on the node vibration velocities in the X, Y, and Z directions obtained in step 5-1), and use the following formula to calculate the excitation force F for each single bearing force order: l The following is the vibration result of a certain mount, that is, the average vibration acceleration of a certain mount:

[0166]

[0167] Where a Fl is the mean vibration acceleration of K nodes; F l is the single bearing force order excitation force; K is the number of nodes; a mx is the vibration acceleration in the X direction of the mth node, a my is the vibration acceleration in the Y direction of the mth node, a mz is the vibration acceleration in the Z direction of the mth node.

[0168] The mean vibration acceleration reflects mechanical vibration energy, not only assessing the vibration level at the mounting point but also providing a quantifiable technical indicator for vibration transmission path decomposition and contribution evaluation. Equivalent sound power, on the other hand, reflects acoustic radiation energy. By combining the nodal vibration velocities of each analysis surface with the equivalent sound power, the acoustic vibration response of the electric drive system is calculated, providing a dual-channel "mechanical vibration-acoustic radiation" evaluation system for the NVH performance of the electric drive system.

[0169] 7) Establish a sound radiation energy curve diagram and a suspension vibration response hotspot diagram.

[0170] 7-1) Based on the calculation results of the acoustic vibration response of the electric drive system, the specific steps for establishing the sound radiation energy curve for sound radiation evaluation are as follows:

[0171] 7-1-1) Based on the equivalent sound power and in combination with the following formula, the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level is obtained. In this embodiment, it is the equivalent near-field sound pressure level amplitude:

[0172]

[0173] Where, P a is the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level; P is the equivalent sound power;

[0174] 7-1-2) A frequency threshold is provided for determining the method for correcting the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level. In this embodiment, the frequency threshold is set to 2000 Hz based on a comprehensive consideration of acoustic propagation characteristics, human ear sensitivity, and engineering optimization strategies. Using the A-weighted sound pressure level, the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level (equivalent near-field sound pressure level amplitude) is corrected in the following manner to obtain the corrected equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level:

[0175] ① When the order frequency of interest is ≤2000Hz, the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level is corrected using the following formula:

[0176]

[0177] Where, P a1 is the equivalent amplitude of the corrected sound pressure level; P a is the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level; P is the equivalent sound power;

[0178] ② When the order frequency of interest is greater than 2000 Hz, the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level is corrected using the following formula:

[0179] P a1 =P a -8

[0180] Where, P a1 is the equivalent amplitude of the corrected sound pressure level; P a is the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level;

[0181] In this embodiment, through equivalent correction, the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude is the 1 m sound pressure level equivalent amplitude.

[0182] 7-1-3) According to the order frequency of interest and the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude, establish the sound radiation energy curve, such as Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal axis is the frequency of the order of interest, and the vertical axis is the equivalent amplitude of the sound pressure level at 1 m;

[0183] 7-2) Based on the mean value of vibration acceleration and the excitation force path, establish the suspension vibration response hotspot map under each bearing excitation path at each order, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis is the frequency of the order of interest, and the vertical axis is the excitation force path. Specifically, the excitation force path is the entire vibration propagation path from the excitation force application point to the response point of the suspension mounting point (i.e., the vibration propagation path from a single bearing force order excitation force to the response result of a certain suspension point).

[0184] 8) Using the sound radiation energy curve and the following formula, the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude (1m sound pressure level equivalent amplitude) of each order of interest surface is obtained, and P all :

[0185]

[0186] Where, P all is the sum of the equivalent amplitudes of the sound pressure levels corrected on all analysis surfaces, P aq is the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude of the qth analysis surface.

[0187] The evaluation of the vibration and noise transmission path of the electric drive system actually includes two aspects: the evaluation of the acoustic radiation contribution of each concerned surface of the electric drive system, and the evaluation of the contribution of the excitation to the vibration acceleration of the suspension installation point under each unidirectional transmission path. The specific evaluation method is as follows:

[0188] 8-1) According to the sound radiation energy curve, and the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude superposition and P all , evaluate the contribution of acoustic radiation of each concerned surface of the electric drive system:

[0189] (1) The sound radiation energy curve is a visual tool for quantifying the contribution of each radiating surface of the electric drive system to the sound pressure level. Its role runs through the entire process of noise source location, contribution quantification and optimization strategy formulation.

[0190] like Figure 3 As shown, each curve corresponds to a radiating surface, and the peak position of each curve directly reflects the sound radiation intensity of the radiating surface at a specific frequency. Therefore, it is possible to intuitively see the amount of radiation energy radiated by each radiating surface at each frequency point under the order of interest. When it is necessary to reduce the sound radiation at a certain frequency, it can provide targeted guidance on which radiating surface should be optimized.

[0191] ⑵According to the modified sound pressure level equivalent amplitude superposition and P all The specific method for evaluating the acoustic radiation contribution of each concerned surface of the electric drive system is as follows:

[0192] ①If the condition P is met all -P aq >10*log 10 q, indicating that the sound pressure level of the qth surface is at least 10*log lower than the total sound pressure level 10 qdB, it is considered that under this operating condition, the contribution of the sound pressure level of the concerned surface to the total sound pressure level is very small, and the influence of the concerned surface on the sound radiation of the assembly at 1m can be ignored.

[0193] ②If condition P is not met all -P aq >10*log 10 q, it means that the sound pressure level of the concerned surface contributes to the total sound pressure level. Therefore, the influence of the concerned surface on the sound radiation of the assembly at 1m cannot be ignored, and the concerned surface may need to be optimized.

[0194] In this embodiment, as shown in Table 2, when the order frequency of interest is 1300 Hz, the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude superposition and P all Approximately 78.782, passing the judgment condition 78.782-P aq >10*log 10 7. The corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude of each analysis surface is superimposed with the corrected sound pressure level equivalent amplitude and P all After judgment, the radiation surface of the right box, the radiation surface of the motor box, the radiation surface of the controller connection box, the radiation surface of the controller lower cover and the radiation surface of the resolver cover meet the requirements of 78.782-P aq >10*log 10 7, which means that the contribution of these surfaces to the sound radiation is very low and their influence on the 1m sound pressure level of the assembly can be ignored. aq With P allThe difference does not reach the threshold, and structural optimization needs to be carried out on this surface.

[0196] ization or damping to reduce its contribution to sound radiation.

[0197] Table 2

[0198] In summary, through the above judgment, the complex sound radiation problem can be transformed into an operational mathematical criterion, so that designers can aq Based on the sorting results, the system quickly identifies radiation surfaces with high contribution and formulates targeted strategies such as structural reinforcement, damping material addition, or surface stiffness optimization. This significantly improves the goal orientation and iterative efficiency of the NVH development process, and provides a scientific and efficient engineering solution for optimizing the acoustic and vibration characteristics of electric drive systems.

[0199] 8-2) Based on the mount vibration response hotspot map, evaluate the contribution of the excitation under each unidirectional transmission path to the vibration acceleration of the mount installation point:

[0200] (1) The suspension vibration response hotspot map is a visualization tool for quantifying the contribution of the vibration transmission path of the electric drive system. Its role runs through the entire process of vibration source location, path decomposition and optimization strategy formulation.

[0201] like Figure 4 As shown, the suspension vibration response hotspot map can intuitively show the magnitude of each suspension vibration amplitude. In this hotspot map, the brighter the area, the greater the suspension vibration acceleration level (suspension vibration amplitude), indicating that the vibration contribution of this path is greater and needs to be the focus of optimization. This hotspot map is constructed based on the independent loading test results of the bearing force in each direction of each bearing and can provide key information in two dimensions:

[0202] First, frequency domain distribution characteristics: Through the color gradient change of the horizontal axis (the order frequency of interest), the peak frequency range of the suspension vibration acceleration level can be clearly identified.

[0203] Second, the excitation path contribution: The brightness distribution of the vertical axis (excitation force path, such as the input shaft bearing's X-axis) reflects the vibration transmission efficiency of different bearing excitation paths at specific frequencies. By cross-analyzing the frequency and path brightness extremes, the bearing force excitation path that causes the maximum suspension vibration amplitude can be precisely located. This allows for point-by-point optimization of the excitation path, quickly and accurately identifying problematic paths and frequencies.

[0204] ⑵Use the suspension vibration response hotspot map to obtain the vibration acceleration energy superposition and D of the suspension installation point under all path excitations. all The specific method to evaluate the contribution of the vibration acceleration of the suspension installation point is as follows:

[0205] ① Using the mount vibration response heat map and the following formula, the vivid acceleration level under each excitation path is obtained:

[0206]

[0207] Where D lf is the vibration acceleration level under the excitation force of the first single bearing force order; a Fl is the mean vibration acceleration of K nodes;

[0208] ② Superimpose the vibration acceleration levels under all excitation paths to obtain the vibration acceleration energy superposition and D of the suspension installation point under all path excitations. all , where the vibration acceleration energy of the suspension mounting point under all path excitations is superimposed and D all The calculation formula is:

[0209]

[0210] Where D all D is the sum of the vibration acceleration energy of the suspension mounting point under all path excitations. lf It is the sum of vibration acceleration energy of the suspension mounting point under the unidirectional path excitation force of a single bearing.

[0211] According to the superposition of vibration acceleration energy of the suspension mounting point under all path excitations and D all , the contribution of the suspension installation point vibration acceleration is evaluated in the following way:

[0212] If condition D is met all -D lf >10*log 10 l, indicating that the acceleration level of the lth path is at least 10*log lower than the total acceleration level 10 ldB, it is considered that under this operating condition, the acceleration level of the lth path contributes very little to the vibration acceleration level of the suspension installation point, and the impact of this path on the vibration of the suspension installation point can be ignored.

[0213] If condition D is not met all -D lf >10*log 10 l, it means that under this operating condition, the acceleration level of the lth path contributes to the vibration acceleration level of the suspension installation point, and the impact of this path on the vibration of the suspension installation point cannot be ignored. It is judged that the suspension installation point may need further optimization.

[0214] In this embodiment, as shown in Table 3 below (vibration level and superposition sum of a certain suspension installation point under each path excitation at a certain frequency point), when the order frequency of interest is 900 Hz, the superposition sum of the vibration acceleration energy of the suspension installation point under all path excitations of the suspension installation point is D all The calculation is 156.440dB, which passes the judgment condition 156.440-D lf >10*log 10 12. Quantify the vibration contribution of each excitation path.
