Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive structural road noise diagnosis technology, and in particular to a method for diagnosing and testing in-vehicle structural road noise under operating conditions. Background Technology
[0002] After decades of development, automotive noise and vibration control technology has effectively controlled noise in traditional engine power systems. However, tire / tire noise has gradually increased its proportion and impact on overall vehicle noise. In recent years, with the promotion of electric vehicles, their ride comfort has also received attention.
[0003] Since the power system of electric vehicles contributes significantly less to in-vehicle noise compared to traditional electric vehicles, the impact of tire / road noise on in-vehicle noise is more prominent. In-vehicle noise is divided into structural noise and airborne noise based on different transmission media. The noise generated in the vehicle by vibrations caused by road excitation through the tires, suspension, chassis, and body structure is called structural road noise. Structural road noise includes issues such as "drumming sound" and "tire cavity sound," which are the focus of automotive vibration and noise control.
[0004] For structural road noise problems, the Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) method is mainly used for problem diagnosis. The traditional TPA method uses methods such as hammering to test the transfer function of each path and identify the load, which can accurately find the source of vibration noise.
[0005] However, traditional TPA testing requires the deployment of large sensors and the testing of numerous vibration transfer functions, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Operational Transfer Path Analysis (OTPA), on the other hand, calculates the transfer rate matrix between the response near the excitation source and the response at the target point under vehicle operating conditions to obtain the contribution of each transfer path. Compared with traditional TPA, this method significantly reduces the workload. However, OTPA suffers from significant deficiencies in analysis accuracy due to the coherence between excitations and the omission of transfer paths. Therefore, a new in-vehicle structural road noise diagnostic testing method under operating conditions is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
