With the continuous development of the automotive industry, the reliability and durability requirements of automotive components are becoming increasingly stringent. The pressing durability of the steering wheel horn button is directly related to driving safety and user experience.

[0003] Currently, existing automobile steering wheel horn button pressing durability testing devices have some shortcomings. On the one hand, most traditional testing devices have simple structures and low levels of automation, requiring frequent human intervention, such as manual control of the frequency and strength of the pressing action. This not only increases the workload of the operator, but also leads to low detection efficiency. Manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the detection parameters, affecting the reliability of the test results.

When it is necessary to test horn buttons of different specifications and types, it is often necessary to replace the entire testing device or perform a lot of debugging work, which increases the cost and time of testing. In addition, some testing devices are unable to accurately collect and record the various performance parameters of the horn button, such as pressing stroke, pressing force, response time, etc., in real time during the testing process, which is not conducive to a comprehensive and in-depth analysis and evaluation of the durability performance of the horn button.

[0077] Example 2:

[0078] Based on Example 1, the present invention provides a device for detecting the durability of a car steering wheel horn button press. Figure 2 As shown, the parameter setting module includes:

[0079] The scanning unit is used to scan the pressed area of ​​the car steering wheel horn button based on a micro laser scanner to obtain 3D point cloud data of the pressed area, and to perform multi-frame acquisition of the driving mechanism in a dynamic state to obtain multiple sets of 3D point cloud data of the driven mechanism;

[0080] A feature extraction unit is used to automatically extract features from the pressing three-dimensional point cloud data and the multiple sets of driving three-dimensional point cloud data based on a deep learning algorithm to obtain initial mechanism features;

[0081] a feature supplementing unit, configured to supplement the initial mechanism feature based on material property parameters of the pressing mechanism and the driving mechanism to obtain a mechanism feature;

[0082] A graph acquisition unit, used to acquire a knowledge graph of vehicle type-structure-parameters-test results determined based on historical durability test data;

[0083] A judgment unit, configured to compare the knowledge graph with the organizational characteristics and other relevant parameters to determine whether there are graph features with a comparison similarity greater than a preset similarity;

[0084] If so, determining a press detection parameter for a horn button on a vehicle steering wheel based on the graph features;

[0085] Otherwise, based on the mechanism characteristics and in combination with the machine learning prediction model, determining a press detection parameter for the car steering wheel horn button;

[0086] An updating unit is used to update the knowledge graph in real time based on the press detection parameters determined by the machine learning prediction model.

[0087] In this embodiment, the material property parameters include elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio.

[0088] In this embodiment, a parameter mapping formula can be developed based on the principles of material mechanics and kinematics, such as F_dynamic=F_static×(1+k·v 2 ), where F_dynamic represents the dynamic force, F_static is the static trigger force, v is the pressing velocity, and k is the spring stiffness.

[0089] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional point cloud data of the pressed area acquired by the micro laser scanner can accurately restore micron-level geometric features such as the button surface curvature, keycap travel, and trigger point position, providing a high-precision physical model basis for subsequent parameter calculations.

[0090] In this embodiment, by acquiring dynamic three-dimensional point cloud data of the driving mechanism in multiple frames, dynamic characteristics such as motor speed fluctuations, transmission component clearances, and spring deformation hysteresis can be analyzed, breaking through the limitations of traditional static detection and more realistically reflecting the mechanical environment in actual use.

[0091] In this embodiment, unlike traditional static databases, the knowledge graph of this solution supports real-time updates and dynamic reasoning, and can adapt to ever-changing vehicle design and material innovations.

[0092] In this embodiment, material property parameters such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, fatigue limit, etc. are combined with geometric features to make parameter settings more consistent with physical laws.

[0093] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are: by comparing the mechanism characteristics and other relevant parameters with the knowledge graph, it is determined whether there is a graph feature with a comparison similarity greater than a preset similarity; if so, based on the graph feature, the press detection parameters for the car steering wheel horn button are determined; the efficiency of parameter setting is improved through the predetermined knowledge graph, otherwise, based on the mechanism characteristics, combined with the machine learning prediction model, the press detection parameters for the car steering wheel horn button are determined to ensure the accuracy of the set press detection parameters, and achieve precise parameter setting, thereby reducing material waste and equipment loss caused by excessive testing, and combining three-dimensional scanning, physical simulation and AI algorithms in the process of determining button characteristics to achieve full-link automation from physical objects to virtual models to test parameters, breaking through the traditional parameter setting method based on empirical formulas, and realizing the transformation of the traditional parameter setting process that relies on manual experience into a quantifiable, traceable and evolvable intelligent decision-making system, which has broad engineering application prospects.

[0094] Example 3:

[0095] Based on Example 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for detecting the durability of a car steering wheel horn button press. The judgment unit determines the pressure detection parameters of the car steering wheel horn button based on the mechanism characteristics and in combination with a machine learning prediction model, including:

[0096] A simulation unit, configured to input the mechanism characteristics into simulation software and obtain a virtual button model based on material science and kinematics principles;

[0097] a setting unit, configured to obtain historical setting parameters matching the virtual button model based on the historical durability detection data, and divide the historical setting parameters into a plurality of setting parameter groups based on the occurrence frequencies of the historical setting parameters in the historical durability detection data;

[0098] A model training unit is configured to train a plurality of pre-trained prediction models based on each set parameter group and its historical detection results, determine model weights based on the frequency of occurrence, and fuse the plurality of pre-trained prediction models based on the model weights to obtain a machine learning prediction model;

[0099] A compensation determination unit, configured to obtain information on changes in material expansion coefficient and humidity influence as they change with temperature from historical durability test data, and to establish a dynamic environmental compensation strategy based on the information;

[0100] A correction determination unit, for determining a dynamic correction strategy between material fatigue parameters and test parameters based on the material properties of the car steering wheel horn button;

[0101] The press simulation unit is used to input the virtual button model into the machine learning prediction model to obtain initial press detection parameters, determine the initial press detection parameters, perform simulation prediction according to the initial press detection parameters, and collect temperature parameters and material parameters during the simulation process, and adjust the initial press detection parameters in real time based on the dynamic environment compensation strategy and dynamic correction strategy to obtain the final press detection parameters.

[0102] In this embodiment, the mechanism characteristics are input into the simulation software to generate a virtual model, and the principles of materials science and kinematics are combined to achieve accurate simulation of the mechanical behavior of the button.

[0103] In this embodiment, frequency clustering is used to divide and set parameter groups, avoiding the one-sidedness of a single historical parameter. For example, when a parameter appears more than 70% of the time in historical data, its weight is automatically increased, making the new parameter setting closer to industry best practices.

[0104] In this embodiment, the frequency of occurrence of each set parameter group is different, and the higher the frequency of occurrence, the greater the weight of the corresponding training model.

[0105] In this embodiment, multiple pre-trained models are integrated, and each model focuses on the prediction of a different numerical dimension, thereby improving the model prediction accuracy, which is particularly advantageous when processing complex structures.

[0106] In this embodiment, model weights are dynamically assigned based on the frequency of occurrence of historical data, so that the detection device can quickly adjust its decision-making strategy when faced with new materials or structures. For example, when detecting new silicone buttons, the weight of the training model that is good at processing elastic materials is automatically increased to 0.6, and the weight of the traditional metal model is reduced to 0.3.

[0107] In this embodiment, a dynamic environmental compensation strategy is established to adjust the test parameters in real time. For example, when the ambient temperature rises from 25°C to 40°C, the pressing stroke is automatically increased by 2.3% to compensate for thermal expansion. For every 10% increase in humidity, the contact force threshold is reduced by 1.5N to offset the influence of the surface water film.

[0108] In this embodiment, the dynamic correction strategy is used to simulate the performance degradation after long-term use in advance.

[0109] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are: by combining the characteristics of the mechanism with the machine learning prediction model, the pressing detection parameters of the car steering wheel horn button are determined, the accuracy of regular prediction is improved, and the physical laws and data-driven methods are deeply combined, which not only ensures the theoretical rationality of the parameter setting, but also improves the actual effectiveness through historical experience and real-time feedback, and realizes the intelligent and dynamic generation of the durability detection parameters of the car steering wheel horn button.

[0113] The second correction unit is configured to determine a test cycle extension value based on a difference between the material fatigue parameter and the second preset fatigue value when the material fatigue parameter is greater than a second preset fatigue value.

[0114] In this embodiment, the second preset fatigue value is greater than the first preset fatigue value.

[0115] The beneficial effect of the above design scheme is: by determining the material fatigue parameter of the car steering wheel horn button, when the material fatigue parameter is greater than the first preset fatigue value, the test force increase value is determined based on the difference between the material fatigue parameter and the first preset fatigue value; when the material fatigue parameter is greater than the second preset fatigue value, the test cycle extension value is determined based on the difference between the material fatigue parameter and the second preset fatigue value, thereby realizing the establishment of a dynamic correction strategy.

[0131] Example 8:

[0132] Based on Example 1, this embodiment of the present invention provides a device for detecting the durability of a car steering wheel horn button press, wherein the durability detection module includes:

[0133] A data partitioning unit is used to divide the performance data into multiple dimensions according to the data type, obtain the data group under each dimension, and perform time alignment on the data groups of multiple dimensions based on the sensor acquisition time and transmission time to obtain the target data group;

[0142] In this embodiment, the data types are divided into six categories, including mechanics, electricity, and acoustics, covering the mechanical response, electrical characteristics, material degradation, and environmental impact of the pressing process, breaking through the limitation of traditional testing that only focuses on a single indicator.

[0143] In this embodiment, based on the alignment of sensor acquisition time and transmission time, the timing misalignment problem caused by sampling rate differences of multi-source data (such as 1000 Hz for pressure sensor vs. 2000 Hz for vibration sensor) is solved.

[0144] In this embodiment, the dimension weights are dynamically assigned according to the detection stage, which conforms to the actual attenuation law of pressing durability. For example:

[0145] Early stage (first 10,000 presses): Mechanical performance (trigger force, travel) accounts for 60% (the dominant factor is structural running-in)

[0146] Mid-term stage (10,000-50,000 times): The weight of electrical performance (contact resistance, conduction reliability) increases to 50% (the dominant factor is contact oxidation)

[0147] Late stage (after 50,000 times): Material properties (wear depth, crack extension) account for 70% of the weight (the dominant factor is material fatigue).

[0148] In this embodiment, the attenuation curve is generated by inputting data of different time periods multiple times, thereby achieving the transition from single-point detection to full-cycle tracking.

[0149] In this embodiment, different from the traditional fixed weight evaluation, the detection stage is associated with the dimension and indicator weight for the first time, which is more in line with the nonlinear attenuation law of pressing durability.

[0150] The beneficial effect of the above design scheme is that the durability detection module realizes accurate evaluation and prediction of the durability of the car steering wheel horn button pressing through multi-dimensional data fusion, dynamic weight allocation and full-cycle timing analysis.
