Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a brake coupling system, in particular to a brake friction coupling analysis system based on automobile brake shoes. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the traditional automobile brake system, the friction coupling behavior between the brake shoe and the friction plate directly affects the brake performance, thermal stability and wear uniformity. However, the existing technology usually uses static or semi-empirical methods to analyze the friction characteristics during braking, which is difficult to accurately reflect the dynamic changes of the contact pressure distribution and the evolution law of the friction force in the time and space dimensions during the actual braking process. The patent document with patent number CN110614987A discloses the detection of friction brake failure, which can generate a sensing signal indicating brake failure when the detected vibration and the detected hydraulic brake pressure change are greater than their corresponding threshold values.

[0003] However, under complex working conditions, the contact state (such as face-to-face contact, point contact) between the brake shoe and the friction plate, the surface geometric characteristics (such as curvature, roughness) and the external load (hydraulic pressure, thrust direction and size) will significantly affect the friction behavior. In addition, since the friction coefficient changes with temperature, relying only on a fixed friction coefficient for simulation analysis will cause the calculation results to deviate from the true situation, and cannot effectively support the structure optimization and failure prediction of the brake system.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0053] Embodiment 1: refer to Figures 1-4 The application provides a brake friction coupling analysis system based on a brake shoe of a vehicle, comprising:

[0056] A load acquisition unit is configured to acquire a brake force load array applied to the brake shoe in a real brake process.

[0057] The brake force load array comprises hydraulic pressure output by a cylinder, a piston thrust direction, a piston thrust size, and an application rate. Exemplarily, the hydraulic pressure, the thrust direction, and the application rate are collected in real time by a pressure sensor and a force sensor in a vehicle brake system.

[0062] The embodiment realizes dynamic solution of the contact pressure distribution between the brake shoe and the friction plate by constructing a friction contact model and combining the brake force load array obtained in the real braking process. On this basis, the friction force distribution of the contact surface at different time points is calculated by further combining the time sequence changes of the friction coefficient and the contact pressure. Finally, the friction force data of multiple contact surfaces in the time and space dimensions are integrated to form the braking friction space-time distribution array in the braking process, so that the change process of the friction force of each contact area in the braking process can be analyzed. Through the space-time distribution array, a basic data format for visual display and data analysis can be formed to realize dynamic recording of the friction behavior change with time and space in the braking process.

[0063] In the embodiment, the step S1 specifically comprises:

[0065] S1-2, constructing a second finite element model of the friction plate;

[0066] S1-3, matching the first finite element model of the brake shoe with the second finite element model of the friction plate to generate a friction contact model.

[0067] The embodiment generates a friction contact model that can represent the braking friction coupling of the automobile brake shoe by constructing the finite element models of the brake shoe and the friction plate and matching the models.

[0068] Further, the step S1-1 specifically comprises:

[0069] S1-1-1, obtaining first geometric parameters of the brake shoe;

[0070] Specifically, the first geometric parameters include the size, curvature radius, thickness, assembly angle and surface roughness of the brake shoe. Exemplarily, the size of the brake shoe can be obtained by a three-dimensional laser scanner or a numerical control measuring device, and the curvature radius, thickness and the like can be extracted by a measuring tool or a design drawing.

[0071] S1-1-2, inputting the first geometric parameters of the brake shoe into a finite element analysis software to create a three-dimensional geometric body of the brake shoe;

[0072] Exemplarily, if the brake shoe is an arc-shaped structure with curvature, the "create entity" function in the finite element software is used to input the radius, thickness and other parameters to generate a circular arc brake shoe model.

[0073] S1-1-3, performing meshing on the three-dimensional geometric body of the brake shoe to obtain a first finite element model with a plurality of discretized meshes.

[0074] Exemplarily, the three-dimensional geometry of the brake shoe is meshed by the meshing tool of the finite element analysis software. According to the calculation accuracy requirement, a suitable unit type (such as tetrahedron, hexahedron, etc.) is selected, and the mesh size is defined.

[0075] In the contact area and stress concentration area (such as the brake contact surface of the brake shoe), finer meshing is adopted to improve the calculation accuracy; in other areas, coarser meshing is adopted to improve the calculation efficiency.

[0076] Further, the step S1-2 specifically comprises:

[0077] S1-2-1: Obtain the second geometric parameters of the friction plate in contact with the brake shoe

[0078] The second geometric parameters include: the size of the friction plate contact surface, such as length and width; the overall thickness of the friction plate, which affects the friction performance and heat conduction; the fitting contour: the shape or contour of the friction plate surface, which is used to cooperate with the contact surface of the brake shoe; the surface roughness: the roughness of the friction plate surface directly affects the friction coefficient and wear performance.

[0079] Exemplarily, the geometric data of the friction plate can be obtained from the actual part by a three-dimensional scanner, CAD model import, or manual measurement (such as a caliper).

[0080] S1-2-2: Import the second geometric parameters into the finite element analysis software to construct a three-dimensional geometry of the friction plate;

[0081] S1-2-3: Mesh the three-dimensional geometry of the friction plate to obtain a second finite element model with a plurality of discrete meshes.

[0082] In this embodiment, by constructing a three-dimensional geometric model of the friction plate and through fine meshing, the analysis of the friction plate can produce high-precision results in contact force calculation. For the friction plate contact surface area, fine meshing can ensure more accurate stress and friction force calculation in the contact area.

[0083] Further, the step S1-3 specifically comprises:

[0084] S1-3-1, mark the contact surface of the brake shoe and the contact surface of the friction plate from the first geometric parameters and the second geometric parameters, respectively;

[0085] Specifically, according to the size and radius of curvature of the brake shoe, the area in contact with the friction plate is marked in the first finite element model of the brake shoe, which is defined as the contact surface of the brake shoe. According to the geometric characteristics (such as the size of the friction surface, the thickness) of the friction plate, the area in contact with the brake shoe is marked in the second finite element model of the friction plate, which is defined as the contact surface of the friction plate.

[0086] Exemplarily, if the brake shoe is circular arc-shaped and the part in contact with the friction plate is an arc-shaped area, the range of the arc-shaped area is calculated through geometric parameters and marked as a contact surface. The contact surface of the friction plate can be defined by its size and fitting contour.

[0087] S1-3-2, a contact surface index is established for the contact surface of the marked brake shoe and the contact surface of the friction plate;

[0088] Specifically, the contact surface index is represented as assigning a unique identifier to each contact surface area so as to identify each contact surface in the finite element model.

[0089] Exemplarily, the contact surface of the brake shoe is named as C1, C2,... and the contact surface of the friction plate is named as F1, F2,.... Then, the contact surface index is completed by using the geometric features of the contact area in the geometric model, such as position, shape, etc.

[0090] S1-3-3, according to the contact surface index, the corresponding contact surface features of the brake shoe in the first geometric parameters are obtained, and the corresponding contact surface features of the friction plate in the second geometric parameters are obtained;

[0091] Through the contact surface index, the contact surface features of the brake shoe and the friction plate are extracted. The contact surface features of the brake shoe include the shape, size, curvature, etc. of the contact surface, and the features of the area in contact with the friction plate. The contact surface features of the friction plate include the geometric features of the contact area of the friction plate, such as the shape, size, surface roughness, etc. of the friction surface.

[0092] Exemplarily, if the contact surface of the brake shoe is a circular arc surface, the corresponding contact surface features include the radius, curvature and contact position. The contact surface of the friction plate includes the length, width, surface roughness, etc. of the contact area.

[0093] S1-3-4, according to the corresponding contact surface features of the brake shoe in the first geometric parameters and the corresponding contact surface features of the friction plate in the second geometric parameters, the geometric features of the contact surface are defined;

[0094] According to the obtained contact surface features, the geometric features of the contact surface are further defined.

[0095] The geometric features of the contact surface include the contact surface area, contact line shape, contact angle, etc. geometric parameters.

[0096] Exemplarily, if the contact surface of the brake shoe is a circular arc and the contact surface of the friction plate is a plane, the contact surface geometric features can be described as the contact area, contact edge shape and contact angle of the arc surface of the brake shoe and the plane of the friction plate in the contact area.

[0097] In the embodiment, the step S3 specifically comprises:

[0098] S3-1, distributing the brake force load array to a plurality of contact surfaces of the friction contact model; wherein each contact surface is assigned a brake force load;

[0099] Specifically, step S3-1 includes:

[0100] Load distribution: distributing the input brake force load array to each contact surface of the friction contact model according to the contact surface geometry in the contact model. Each contact surface bears different sizes of load according to its size, shape and position.

[0101] Load mapping: by calculating the contact area of the model, the applied brake force is distributed to the contact points according to the grid elements on the contact surface, ensuring the uniformity of load distribution.

[0102] S3-2, anchoring the contact surface assigned with the brake force load and obtaining its contact surface shape, size and number of contact points from the geometric features of the contact surface;

[0103] Specifically, step S3-2 includes:

[0104] Anchoring the contact surface: determining the specific position of each contact surface in the model and "anchoring" the contact surface, which means assigning each contact surface with corresponding geometric features and contact points.

[0105] Obtaining contact surface features: extracting geometric features from the marked contact surface, including the shape of the contact surface (such as plane, circle, arc, etc.), size, and number of contact points.

[0106] S3-3, calculating the contact pressure of the contact surface according to the contact surface shape, size and number of contact points, and the assigned brake force load;

[0107] Wherein, the contact pressure is represented as: for each contact surface, the contact pressure of the brake force load on the unit area of the contact surface. That is, the contact pressure is calculated by the ratio of the applied brake force load on each contact element to the area of the contact element, specifically calculated as:

[0108]

[0109] Wherein, P i represents the contact pressure on the contact element i, F i is the brake force load assigned to the contact element i, A i is the contact area of the contact element i.

[0110] S3-4, obtaining the contact pressure of the plurality of contact surfaces and using finite element analysis to solve the contact pressure distribution.

[0111] The contact pressure of the obtained several contact surfaces is input into the finite element analysis software for global solving. The distribution of the contact pressure on the contact surface is solved by the finite element analysis, and the specific contact pressure of each contact element is obtained.

[0112] In this embodiment, the step S5 specifically comprises:

[0113] S5-1: Obtain the contact pressure distribution of the contact surface at different time points

[0114] Specifically, step S5-1 comprises:

[0115] Contact pressure acquisition: Through the contact pressure distribution solving result in the aforementioned step S3-4, the contact pressure distribution of the contact surface at different time points is obtained.

[0116] Time sequence change of contact pressure: With the progress of the braking process, the contact pressure changes with time, and the contact pressure data at each time point needs to be recorded and saved to ensure that the data accurately reflect the load and temperature changes in the braking process.

[0117] Exemplarily, through the output of the sensor or the simulation model, the contact pressure at each time point is tracked and recorded in real time.

[0118] S5-2: Obtain the temperature distribution of the contact surface at different time points

[0119] Specifically, step S5-2 comprises:

[0120] Temperature distribution measurement: Obtain the temperature data during the braking process, especially the temperature change at the contact surface at different time points.

[0121] Temperature monitoring device: Use thermocouples, infrared sensors and other temperature measurement devices to obtain the temperature distribution of the contact surface during the braking process.

[0122] Exemplarily, an infrared sensor is used for contact surface temperature monitoring, or a thermocouple is embedded in the contact surface to obtain accurate temperature distribution data.

[0123] S5-3: According to the temperature distribution of the contact surface at different time points, the friction coefficient corresponding to the friction plate is collected

[0124] Specifically, step S5-2 comprises:

[0125] Friction coefficient and temperature relationship: The friction coefficient usually changes with the change of temperature. Through experiments or material property data, the friction coefficient of the friction plate at different temperatures is obtained.

[0126] Temperature-friction coefficient data collection: According to the temperature distribution data obtained in S5-2, the friction coefficient at the corresponding temperature is found or calculated.

[0127] For example, by consulting the temperature-friction coefficient table of the friction plate, or using the experimental data in the material library, the corresponding friction coefficient value at different temperatures is obtained.

[0128] S5-4: According to the friction coefficient and contact pressure distribution of the friction plate, the friction force distribution of the contact surface at different time points is calculated;

[0129] Specifically, step S5-2 includes:

[0130] Friction force calculation formula: according to the known contact pressure and friction coefficient, the following formula is used to calculate the friction force of the contact surface at different time points:

[0131] F friction (t) = μ(t) · P(t);

[0132] P(t) is the contact pressure of the contact surface at time t, μ(t) is the friction coefficient at time t, F friction (t) is the calculated friction force.

[0133] Friction force distribution calculation: by calculating all contact units, the friction force distribution on the contact surface is obtained. The friction force is calculated for each contact unit at time points, and complete friction force time series data is formed.

[0134] In this embodiment, the step S6 specifically includes:

[0135] S6-1, obtaining the contact surface index of a plurality of contact surfaces;

[0136] S6-2, according to the contact surface index of the plurality of contact surfaces, obtaining the friction force distribution of the plurality of contact surfaces at different time points;

[0137] Specifically, step S6-2 includes:

[0138] Friction force distribution extraction: based on the friction force distribution data obtained in S7, the friction force is distributed to the corresponding contact surface according to the contact surface index. The friction force of each contact surface at each time point is calculated by the friction force formula in the foregoing steps.

[0139] Time series friction force data: for each contact surface, the friction force distribution of each contact surface at different time points is stored through time series data. The friction force at each time point will be matched with the contact surface index.

[0140] S6-3, according to the contact surface index of the plurality of contact surfaces, obtaining the spatial coordinates of the plurality of contact surfaces;

[0141] Specifically, step S6-3 includes:

[0142] Space coordinate extraction: Extract the position of each contact surface in three-dimensional space (space coordinates) from the contact surface geometry data. The space coordinates corresponding to each contact surface are determined by its geometric features (such as circular, arc, etc.) and its position in the finite element model.

[0143] Contact surface geometry analysis: For each contact surface, record its position data such as centroid coordinates or boundary coordinates.

[0144] S6-4, according to the space coordinates of several contact surfaces, generate the space index of each contact surface; wherein the space index represents the centroid coordinates of the space coordinates of each contact surface;

[0145] Specifically, step S6-4 includes:

[0146] Space index creation: According to the space coordinates of the contact surface, calculate the centroid coordinates of each contact surface in three-dimensional space. The centroid coordinates are usually the geometric center point of the contact surface, which is used to represent the position of the contact surface.

[0147] Space index assignment: Assign a space index to each contact surface to identify its position in three-dimensional space, ensuring that the contact surface can be quickly located in the model through the space index

[0148] S6-5, data fusion of the space index and the friction distribution of the contact surface at different time points, to obtain the space-time distribution array of the brake friction in the brake process.

[0149] The space-time distribution array needs to combine the friction data of each contact surface at each time point with the space coordinates of the contact surface.

[0150] The friction of each contact surface at a certain time point can be represented as a three-dimensional data point, where the space coordinates represent the position of the contact surface, and the friction distribution represents the friction of the contact surface at that time point.

[0151] Specifically, for each contact surface C1, the data at time point t1 can be represented as a multi-dimensional vector, i.e. space coordinates and friction at that time point; and the friction of all space coordinates at time points is the space-time distribution array.

[0152] Use visualization tools (such as MATLAB, Python, etc.) to graphically display the generated space-time distribution array, to obtain a dynamic display distribution diagram of the friction changing with time and space, which can help analyze the friction distribution of different contact areas in the brake process and the change over time.

[0153] The space-time distribution array takes the contact surface centroid coordinates as the three-dimensional space index, takes the braking time as the sequence axis, and takes the friction force value on the contact element as the data body, to construct a multi-dimensional data structure with geometric mapping relationship; each data point in the data structure corresponds to the friction force response value of the brake shoe and the friction plate at a specific time and a specific position, and a one-to-one mapping relationship is established between the contact element number and the spatial coordinates in the finite element model; thus, the spatial distribution and time evolution of the friction behavior during braking are accurately characterized, which can be used to identify local high stress areas, friction non-uniformity characteristics and dynamic friction response hysteresis and the like.

[0154] The embodiment indexes the spatial coordinates of multiple contact surfaces, and combines the friction force distribution data at different time points for fusion analysis, to construct a brake friction distribution array with space-time characteristics. The array takes the contact surface centroid as the space index, takes the time as the sequence axis, and takes the friction force as the numerical dimension, to completely characterize the dynamic evolution process of the friction force of each contact area during braking. Through the space-time distribution array, the friction force concentration area, the friction instability area and the potential thermal damage risk area can be intuitively identified, thereby providing visual support for the safety evaluation of the automobile braking system, the selection of friction materials and the optimization of the structure.
