Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for optimizing transmission side clearance inside a transmission, and in particular to a method for optimizing transmission side clearance inside a transmission taking impact into consideration. Background Art

[0002] The automotive powertrain is a typical nonlinear elastic system. The backlash between the internal gear meshing pairs and the spline contact pairs can induce significant torsional vibration responses. Especially under rapid acceleration / deceleration conditions, transient changes in the drive train torque can trigger nonlinear backlash effects, leading to impact between the gear pairs and severely impacting the vehicle's NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance. As a core component of the powertrain, the design of the transmission's internal backlash has a crucial influence on impact vibration.

[0003] With the automotive market's increasing demands for ride quality and OEMs' platform development cycles shortening, transmission development faces a dual challenge: meeting increasingly stringent NVH standards while simultaneously shortening matching and verification cycles. The gear pairs and spline pairs in each gear of the transmission chain exhibit two typical types of backlash: static backlash (such as the spline connection between the output shaft and flange) and dynamic backlash (such as the meshing between the synchronizer sleeve and gear). The former requires maintaining assembly tolerances, while the latter is constrained by kinematic relationships.

[0004] Currently, backlash design is primarily based on static assembly requirements and transmission smoothness demands, and a quantitative control method for transient impacts has not yet been established. This leads to the following technical pain points: ① The nonlinear correlation between transmission backlash and impact response is unclear, lacking a theoretical design basis; ② Traditional trial-and-error methods require repeated prototype production for bench / vehicle verification, which is time-consuming and costly; ③ The coupling mechanism of static and dynamic backlash has not yet been decoupled, making multi-parameter collaborative optimization difficult. Furthermore, changes to transmission backlash within the transmission require higher precision levels for components and increased processing and manufacturing costs; for the transmission assembly, this affects component assembly methods and transmission smoothness.

[0005] In summary, to improve the NVH performance of transmissions when matched to the entire vehicle and reduce transient shock issues, there is currently a lack of a shock-inclusive transmission backlash optimization design method to determine the nonlinear quantitative relationship between backlash parameters and shock response. Therefore, it is necessary to use simulation technology to study the nonlinear relationship between transmission backlash and shock response, seek the optimal solution for matching backlash, optimize transmission backlash design at low part processing and manufacturing costs, and without affecting assembly, to significantly improve design efficiency and provide a scientific backlash parameter matching solution for transmission development.

[0006] Chinese patent publication number CN118568960A discloses a method for simulating and modeling the transient impact torsional vibration of a pure electric passenger vehicle, taking clearance into account. Although this method employs a simulation modeling approach, it primarily focuses on simulating and analyzing torsional vibrations caused by low-frequency longitudinal vibrations and transient impacts under rapid acceleration and deceleration conditions during operation. It still does not provide a simulation modeling method that simultaneously considers impact and achieves optimized design of transmission side clearance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the current technical problem of difficulty in determining the nonlinear quantitative relationship between transmission backlash parameters and shock response, and to provide a method for optimizing transmission backlash inside a transmission taking shock into consideration.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] A method for optimizing transmission backlash inside a transmission considering impact is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Connect the output shaft of the input motor to the input shaft of the transmission, and connect the output shaft of the transmission to the equivalent inertia simulation device through a transmission shaft to obtain a simulated vehicle impact test bench;

[0011] Step 2: Set the maximum speed and minimum speed of the input motor, as well as the speed change period, and then set a speed change curve based on the maximum speed and minimum speed. Then, operate the input motor according to the speed change curve, collect a transmission shaft torque-time experimental curve in which the transmission shaft torque changes with time, an experimental impact torque of the transmission shaft, and a transmission input speed-time experimental curve in which the transmission input speed changes with time, and obtain experimental results.

[0012] Step 3: Based on the assembly structure of the transmission, a torsional impact dynamics simulation model corresponding to the simulated vehicle impact test bench and including the transmission side clearance to be optimized is established. Then, using the speed change curve in Step 2 as its input, a transmission shaft torque-time simulation curve, a simulated impact torque of the transmission shaft, and a transmission input speed-time simulation curve are simulated and calculated to obtain simulation results.

[0013] Step 4: Compare the experimental results obtained in step 2 with the simulation results obtained in step 3, and calibrate the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model according to the comparison results to obtain a calibrated torsional knocking dynamics simulation model;

[0014] Step 5: According to the transmission system design requirements, the theoretical maximum value of the transmission backlash to be optimized is calculated, and the backlash change value is set. Then, the backlash value is reduced from the theoretical maximum value of the transmission backlash to be optimized by the backlash change value as the step size, and the backlash value is brought into the calibrated torsional knocking dynamics simulation model obtained in step 4 to simulate and obtain the torque impact amplitude until the backlash value reaches the specified backlash value required by the transmission system design, and a torque impact amplitude-backlash value curve is obtained in which the torque impact amplitude changes with the backlash value;

[0015] Step 6: Determine the lowest torque impact based on the torque impact amplitude-backlash value curve with the lowest impact torque as the principle, and the backlash value corresponding to the lowest torque impact is the target backlash value; the target backlash value is greater than or equal to the specified backlash value;

[0019] Furthermore, step 8 is specifically as follows:

[0020] Step 8.1, based on the parameters of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized, calculate the nominal value of the cross-bar distance of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized;

[0021] Step 8.2: If the target backlash value is at the trough of the torque impact amplitude-backlash value curve, the upper and lower limits of the span of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized are obtained according to the following formula:

[0022]

[0023] Among them, dp max dp is the upper limit of the span of the parts corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized, min is the lower limit of the span of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized, dp is the nominal span of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized, and Δdp is the bandwidth of the span of the part corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized;

[0024] If the target backlash value is at the specified backlash value, the upper and lower limits of the span of the parts corresponding to the transmission backlash to be optimized are obtained according to the following formula:

[0025] dpmax =dp+Δdp

[0026] dp min =dp;

[0027] Step 8.3: Determine whether the processing technology and processing equipment can meet the processing requirements of the upper and lower limits of the cross-rod spacing of the parts corresponding to the transmission side clearance to be optimized. If so, execute step 9; otherwise, return to step 7 and adjust the cross-rod spacing bandwidth of the parts corresponding to the transmission side clearance to be optimized.

[0028] Furthermore, step 4 is specifically as follows:

[0029] Step 4.1: Compare the transmission shaft torque-time experimental curve obtained in step 2 with the transmission shaft torque-time simulation curve obtained in step 3. If they are consistent, proceed to step 4.2; otherwise, return to step 3 and adjust the parameters of the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model.

[0030] Step 4.2: Determine whether there is a torque shock on the transmission shaft during the change of the input motor speed based on the transmission shaft torque-time experimental curve obtained in step 2. If there is a torque shock, proceed to step 4.3; otherwise, proceed to step 4.4.

[0031] Step 4.3: Determine whether there is a sudden change in the transmission input speed-time simulation curve at the moment of torque impact. If there is a sudden change, execute step 4.4; otherwise, return to step 3 and adjust the parameters of the torsional knock dynamics simulation model;

[0032] Step 4.4, determine whether the error between the simulated impact torque of the transmission shaft obtained in step 3 and the experimental impact torque of the transmission shaft obtained in step 2 is within 10%-15%. If so, use the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model as the calibrated torsional knocking dynamics simulation model; otherwise, return to step 3, and adjust the parameters of the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model according to the experimental impact torque of the transmission shaft obtained in step 2, until the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model uses the speed change curve as input, and the error between the simulated impact torque of the transmission shaft and the experimental impact torque of the transmission shaft obtained in step 2 is within 10%-15%, thereby obtaining the calibrated torsional knocking dynamics simulation model.

[0033] Furthermore, in step 3, the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model includes gear lubrication loss, internal oil stirring loss and transmission side clearance to be optimized, and the transmission side clearance to be optimized includes all gear side clearances and spline matching side clearances.

[0034] Furthermore, in step 2, the speed change curve is specifically as follows: the speed increases from the minimum speed to the maximum speed within a period Δt, and then decreases from the maximum speed to the minimum speed within a period Δt, and cycles with a speed change period of 2Δt as a period.

[0035] Furthermore, in step 3, the torsional knocking dynamics simulation model is established using AMESim software.

[0036] Furthermore, in step 5, if the transmission backlash to be optimized is a static fit backlash, the minimum value of the backlash specified value is 0;

[0037] If the transmission backlash to be optimized is the dynamic fit backlash, the backlash specified value is a positive value.

[0038] Furthermore, in step 1, the simulated vehicle impact test bench includes an input motor, a transmission, a drive shaft and an equivalent inertia simulation device connected in sequence, as well as a wireless torque telemetry module and a transmission mounting bracket for mounting the transmission; the output shaft of the input motor is connected to the input shaft of the transmission through a connecting shaft; the input shaft of the transmission is mounted on the transmission mounting bracket through a bearing, and its output shaft is connected to one end of the equivalent inertia simulation device through a drive shaft; the two ends of the equivalent inertia simulation device are respectively mounted on a first bearing seat and a second bearing seat through bearings, and the wireless torque telemetry module is mounted on the drive shaft for collecting the impact torque of the drive shaft.
