[0002] In the daily use of an automobile, the horn button of a steering wheel is an important component for a driver to communicate with the outside world through sound warning, and its use frequency is extremely high. With the continuous development of the automobile industry, the reliability and durability of automobile parts are increasingly required, and the press durability of the horn button of the automobile steering wheel is directly related to driving safety and user experience.
[0003] At present, the existing durability detection device for the horn button of the automobile steering wheel has some deficiencies. On the one hand, the traditional detection device is mostly simple in structure and low in automation, and needs frequent manual participation, such as manual control of the frequency and force of the pressing action, which not only increases the working strength of the operator, but also leads to low detection efficiency, and manual operation cannot guarantee the consistency and accuracy of the detection parameters, affecting the reliability of the detection results. On the other hand, the existing detection device is usually designed for a specific model of the horn button of the automobile steering wheel, and has poor universality. When different specifications and different types of horn buttons need to be detected, the entire detection device needs to be replaced or a large amount of debugging work needs to be done, increasing the detection cost and time cost. In addition, some detection devices cannot accurately collect and record various performance parameters of the horn button, such as the pressing stroke, the pressing force, the response time, etc., during the detection process, which is not conducive to the comprehensive and in-depth analysis and evaluation of the durability of the horn button.

[0086] an updating unit configured to update the knowledge graph in real time based on the pressing detection parameter determined by the machine learning prediction model.
[0087] In this embodiment, the material attribute parameters include the elastic modulus and the Poisson's ratio.
[0088] In this embodiment, based on the principles of material mechanics and kinematics, a parameter mapping formula can be developed, for example, F_dynamic=F_static x (1+k v 2 ), wherein F_dynamic represents the dynamic force, F_static represents the static trigger force, v represents the pressing speed, and k represents the spring stiffness.
[0089] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional point cloud data of the pressing area obtained by the micro laser scanner can accurately restore the micron-level geometric features such as the surface curvature of the button, the key cap stroke, and the trigger point position, thereby providing a high-precision physical model basis for subsequent parameter calculation.
[0090] In this embodiment, by acquiring dynamic three-dimensional point cloud data of the driving mechanism through multiple frames, the motor speed fluctuation, the transmission component gap, and the spring deformation hysteresis can be analyzed, thereby breaking through the limitations of traditional static detection and more truly reflecting the mechanical environment in actual use.
[0091] In this embodiment, unlike the traditional static database, the knowledge graph of this scheme supports real-time updating and dynamic reasoning, and can adapt to the changing vehicle model design and material innovation.
[0092] In this embodiment, the material elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, fatigue limit, and other attribute parameters are combined with geometric features, so that the parameter setting is more in line with the physical law.
[0093] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are: by comparing the mechanism characteristics and other related parameters with the knowledge graph, it is determined whether there is a graph feature with a similarity greater than a preset similarity; if so, based on the graph feature, the pressing detection parameter of the automobile steering wheel horn button is determined; the efficiency of parameter setting is improved through the pre-determined knowledge graph, otherwise, based on the mechanism characteristics, a machine learning prediction model is combined to determine the pressing detection parameter of the automobile steering wheel horn button, ensuring the accuracy of the set pressing detection parameter, realizing accurate parameter setting, reducing material waste and equipment loss caused by excessive testing, and combining three-dimensional scanning, physical simulation and AI algorithm in the process of determining the button feature, realizing full-link automation from the physical object to the virtual model and then to the test parameter, breaking through the traditional parameter setting method based on empirical formula, realizing the conversion of the traditional parameter setting process relying on manual experience into a quantifiable, traceable and evolving intelligent decision system, and having wide engineering application prospects.
[0094] Embodiment 3:

[0097] The setting unit is used for obtaining historical setting parameters matched with the virtual button model based on historical endurance detection data, and dividing the historical setting parameters into a plurality of setting parameter groups based on the frequency of occurrence of the historical setting parameters in the historical endurance detection data;

[0103] In this embodiment, parameter groups are set by frequency clustering division to avoid one-sidedness of a single historical parameter. For example, when a parameter appears in historical data with a frequency of >70%, the weight is automatically increased, making the new parameter setting closer to the industry optimal practice.
[0104] In this embodiment, the frequency of occurrence of each set of setting parameters 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 fused, and each model focuses on the prediction of different numerical dimensions to improve the prediction accuracy of the model, especially when dealing with complex structures.
[0106] In this embodiment, the model weights are dynamically allocated based on the frequency of occurrence of historical data, so that the detection device can quickly adjust the decision strategy when facing new materials or structures.

[0145] Early stage (first 10,000 presses): mechanical performance (trigger force, stroke) weight accounts for 60% (main factor is structure grinding)
[0146] Middle stage (10-50 thousand times): Electrical performance (contact resistance, conduction reliability) weight increases to 50% (main factor is contact oxidation)
