Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile structure-borne road noise diagnosis, and in particular to a method for diagnosing and testing structure-borne road noise in a vehicle under operating conditions. Background Art

[0002] After decades of development in automotive noise and vibration control technology, traditional engine powertrain noise has been effectively controlled. However, the proportion and impact of tire / tire noise in overall vehicle noise have gradually increased. In recent years, with the promotion of electric vehicles, their ride comfort has also received attention.

[0003] Since the contribution of the power system of electric vehicles to interior noise is significantly lower than that of traditional power vehicles, the impact of tire / road noise on interior noise is more prominent. Interior noise is divided into structure-borne sound and airborne sound according to different transmission media. The noise generated by the vibration caused by road excitation through the tires, suspension, chassis and body structure inside the vehicle is called structure-borne road noise. Structure-borne road noise includes problems such as "drumming" and "tire cavity noise", and is the focus of automobile vibration noise control.

[0004] To address structural road noise issues, the Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) method is primarily used for problem diagnosis. Traditional TPA methods use methods such as hammering to test the transfer functions of each path and perform load identification, which can accurately locate the source of vibration noise.

[0005] However, traditional TPA testing requires the deployment of large sensors and numerous vibration transfer function tests, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Operational Transfer Path Analysis (OTPA) calculates the transferability matrix between the response near the excitation source and the target point under the vehicle's operating state to obtain the contribution of each transfer path. This significantly reduces the testing workload compared to traditional TPA. However, OTPA suffers from significant limitations in analysis accuracy due to coherence between excitations and omissions of transfer paths. Therefore, a diagnostic test method for in-vehicle structural road noise under operating conditions is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
