Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive R&D platform technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and equipment for calculating the centroid height bandwidth of an automotive R&D platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive R&D, to accelerate vehicle development, increase vehicle reliability, improve R&D efficiency, and reduce manufacturing costs, various OEMs develop common automotive R&D platforms to achieve modular production. An automotive platform is a standardized infrastructure and technology system that provides shared core modules, technical parameters, and manufacturing standards for the R&D, design, and production of multiple different vehicle models. Different models can have their external styling changed on the platform, but key components such as the core powertrain layout, chassis structure, and electronic and electrical architecture remain unified or highly compatible. It is an important means for automotive companies to achieve efficient and large-scale R&D.

[0003] To ensure the stability, handling, and safety of various vehicle models on the platform, a reasonable center of gravity height bandwidth (center of gravity height refers to the vertical distance from the vehicle's center of gravity to the ground, and center of gravity height bandwidth refers to the range of center of gravity height variation that the platform can support for different vehicle models) needs to be set in the early stages of platform development. This bandwidth is used for the analysis and design of the mechanical properties of digital prototype vehicles for various models on the platform, so as to ensure that the stability, handling, and safety of all derived models can meet the standards.

[0004] In the early stages of platform development, without vehicle data and prototypes, there is a lack of means to assess the center of gravity height of the platform's vehicles. Generally, estimations are made through analogy or empirical formulas. However, these methods have significant errors, leading to substantial systemic deviations and impacting the vehicle's stability and handling. Summary of the Invention

[0032] This invention provides a method for calculating the centroid height bandwidth of an automotive R&D platform. The execution entity is an electronic device, including but not limited to smartphones, PCs, laptops, tablets, and servers. Please refer to... Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for calculating the centroid height bandwidth of an automotive R&D platform provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method for calculating the centroid height bandwidth of the automotive R&D platform provided by this invention mainly includes the following steps (steps S101 to S106): Step S101: Obtain the target parameter group for each compatible vehicle model, wherein the target parameter group includes the wheel parameter group, suspension parameter group and sprung component parameter group; Step S102: Calculate the upper and lower limits of the wheel rolling radius based on the wheel parameter set; Step S103: Calculate the upper and lower limits of the first height difference based on the suspension parameter set; Step S104: Calculate the upper and lower limits of the second height difference based on the spring component parameter set; Step S105: Using the extreme value method, based on the upper and lower limits of the wheel rolling radius, the upper and lower limits of the first height difference, and the upper and lower limits of the second height difference, calculate the upper and lower limits of the center of gravity height of the vehicle R&D platform to determine the center of gravity height bandwidth of the vehicle R&D platform. Step S106: Output the centroid height bandwidth of the automotive R&D platform.

[0033] Figure 2 The positional relationship between the wheel rolling radius R, the first height difference H1, and the second height difference H2 is shown. For example... Figure 2As shown, the first height difference H1 is the height difference between the vertical coordinates of the wheel center Q and the preset point P, and the second height difference H2 is the height difference between the vertical coordinates of the upper vehicle center of gravity G1 and the preset point P. The preset point P is the midpoint of the line connecting the center points of the upper mounting surfaces of the two shock absorbers corresponding to the front wheel.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are multiple wheel parameter groups. The parameters in each wheel parameter group include the tire free diameter, rim radius, tire width, and aspect ratio.

[0035] In some optional embodiments, for calculating the upper and lower limits of the wheel rolling radius, the parameters of the wheel parameter set are first substituted into the first formula to calculate multiple wheel rolling radii; wherein, the first formula is: R = F*(r + D*γ) / (2π); In the formula, R represents the wheel rolling radius, F represents the calculation constant (3.05 for radial tires; 2.99 for bias tires), r represents the rim radius, D represents the tire width, and γ represents the aspect ratio; The maximum value obtained from the calculation is then determined as the upper limit of the wheel rolling radius, and the minimum value obtained from the calculation is determined as the lower limit of the wheel rolling radius.

[0036] The first formula can be derived from R=F*d / (2π) and d= r+D*γ, where d represents the free diameter of the tire (i.e. the diameter of the tire when it is not under load).

[0037] It should be noted that the same automotive R&D platform is compatible with multiple vehicle models, and therefore compatible with multiple wheel configurations and wheel models. This means that the calculation constant F, rim radius r, tire width D, and aspect ratio γ will all differ. These wheel parameters are divided into multiple wheel parameter groups, each corresponding to a specific tire model from a particular manufacturer. Substituting the wheel parameters from each group into the first formula mentioned above yields multiple wheel rolling radii. The maximum value is determined as the upper limit of the wheel rolling radius, and the minimum value is determined as the lower limit of the wheel rolling radius.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are multiple suspension parameter groups; the parameters in each suspension parameter group include the height difference from the lower mounting point of the shock absorber to the wheel center, the suspension design length, the suspension stiffness coefficient, the suspension vertical angle, and the suspension load-bearing weight.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, for calculating the upper and lower limits of the first height difference, the parameters of the suspension parameter group are first substituted into the second formula to calculate multiple first height differences; wherein, the second formula is: ; In the formula, H represents the first height difference. 1-1 The height difference between the lower mounting point of the shock absorber and the wheel center is represented by L, the suspension design length is represented by K, the suspension stiffness coefficient is represented by θ, the vertical angle of the suspension is represented by W, and the load-bearing weight of the suspension is represented by W. The calculated maximum value is then determined as the upper limit of the first height difference, and the calculated minimum value is determined as the lower limit of the first height difference.

[0040] It should be noted that differences in performance requirements between different models on the same platform, variations in weight and axle load across different configurations, and differences in actual vehicle tuning can all lead to variations in suspension stiffness, length, and angle. Therefore, these parameters are divided into multiple suspension parameter groups, with each group containing a set of suspension stiffness, length, and angle data. Substituting the parameters of each suspension parameter group into the second formula mentioned above yields multiple first height differences. The maximum value among these is determined as the upper limit of the first height difference, and the minimum value is determined as the lower limit of the first height difference.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are N parameter groups for the spring component, where N is a positive integer and N>1; the parameters in each parameter group for the spring component include the upper limit and lower limit of the weight of the spring component and the third height difference, which is the height difference between the vertical coordinate of the center of gravity of the spring component and the preset point P.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, for calculating the upper and lower limits of the second height difference, firstly, for any set of sprung component parameters, the product of the upper limit of the sprung component weight and the third height difference is calculated to obtain the first product value, and the product of the lower limit of the sprung component weight and the third height difference is calculated to obtain the second product value.

[0043] Then, select one product value from the first and second product values ​​corresponding to each set of spring-loaded component parameters, and use it as the third product value to generate a first set. Then execute step 2. N Next, generate 2 N A first set; wherein the number of third product values ​​in the first set is the same as the number of spring parameter groups, and any two third product values ​​in the same first set come from different spring parameter groups.

[0044] For any first set, sum all the third product values ​​in the first set to obtain the first sum value, and sum the upper or lower limit values ​​of the spring weight corresponding to all the third product values ​​to obtain the second sum value. Calculate the ratio of the first sum value to the second sum value to obtain the first ratio. Finally, the maximum value among all the first ratios is determined as the upper limit of the second height difference, and the minimum value among all the first ratios is determined as the lower limit of the second height difference.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sprung components include, but are not limited to, seats, body frames, interior trim, powertrain systems, and air conditioning systems. The calculation methods for the upper and lower limits of the second height difference are explained below using the three types of sprung components—seats, body frames, and interior trim—as examples (see Table 1).

[0046] Table 1. Parameter group of the spring

[0047] First, calculate the first and second product values ​​for each set of sprung component parameters. For the seat, the first and second product values ​​are A2h1 and A1h1, respectively; for the body frame, they are B2h2 and B1h2, respectively; and for the interior components, they are C2h3 and C1h3, respectively. Then, combine these six product values ​​into three sets of three. Note that the three product values ​​in each first set must come from different sets of sprung component parameters. This generates eight first sets: {A2h1, B2h2, C2h3}, {A2h1, B2h2, C1h3}, {A2h1, B1h2, C2h3}, {A2h1, B1h2, C1h3}, and {A1h1, B2h2, C2h3}. {A1h1, B2h2, C1h3}, {A1h1, B1h2, C2h3}, and {A2h1, B1h2, C1h3}.

[0048] Then, sum all the product values ​​for each first set to obtain the first sum value. Next, sum the upper or lower limit of the spring component weight corresponding to all the product values ​​for each first set to obtain the second sum value. Taking the first set {A2h1, B2h2, C2h3} as an example, the first sum value is A2h1 + B2h2 + C2h3, and the second sum value is A2 + B2 + C2. The ratio of the first sum value to the second sum value is then calculated, i.e., the first ratio is (A2h1 + B2h2 + C2h3) / (A2 + B2 + C2). Finally, sort all the first ratios of the first sets by size, determine the maximum value as the upper limit of the second height difference, and determine the minimum value as the lower limit of the second height difference.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the upper limit of the center of gravity height is calculated by substituting the upper limit of the wheel rolling radius, the upper limit of the first height difference, and the lower limit of the second height difference into a third formula; wherein, the third formula is: H max =R max +H 1-max -H 2-min ; In the formula, H max R represents the upper limit of the centroid height.max H represents the upper limit of the wheel's rolling radius. 1-max H represents the upper limit of the first height difference. 2-min This represents the lower limit of the second height difference.

[0050] To calculate the lower limit of the center of gravity height, substitute the lower limit of the wheel rolling radius, the lower limit of the first height difference, and the upper limit of the second height difference into the fourth formula to obtain the lower limit of the center of gravity height; where the fourth formula is: H min =R min +H 1-min -H 2-max ; In the formula, H min R represents the upper limit of the centroid height. min H represents the upper limit of the wheel's rolling radius. 1-min H represents the upper limit of the first height difference. 2-max This represents the lower limit of the second height difference.

[0051] It should be noted that since the different states of wheel rolling radius R, first height difference H1, and second height difference H2 do not occur randomly, but appear on the whole vehicle according to the configuration combination, the dynamic and static statistical square tolerance calculation method is not suitable for calculating the upper and lower limit bandwidth of the center of gravity height. Only the extreme value method can be used to calculate it, and then obtain the whole vehicle weight center of gravity height bandwidth (Hmin, Hmax).

[0052] It should be noted that the parameter data in the wheel parameter group, suspension parameter group, and sprung component parameter group are all pre-set, that is, the corresponding parameters of the car that the car development platform is compatible with.

[0053] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the boundary value of the wheel rolling radius reflects the dynamic changes under different loads / tire pressures. The boundary value of the first height difference can capture the range of suspension geometrical motion, and the boundary value of the second height difference can quantify the characteristics of sprung mass distribution. This hierarchical extreme value method is more consistent with actual operating condition fluctuations than static assumptions. By calculating the boundary values ​​of each parameter separately and then integrating them using the extreme value method, the center of gravity height bandwidth can be obtained, which clearly defines the feasible range of center of gravity height. Designers can carry out subsequent work (such as chassis tuning and body layout) based on this range to ensure that the center of gravity height of all compatible models is within a safe and reasonable range, avoiding performance problems (such as decreased handling and increased rollover risk) caused by parameters exceeding the boundaries.

[0054] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a centroid height bandwidth calculation device for an automotive R&D platform for implementing the aforementioned method for calculating the centroid height bandwidth of an automotive R&D platform. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations of one or more embodiments of the centroid height bandwidth calculation device for an automotive R&D platform provided below can be found in the limitations of the centroid height bandwidth calculation method for an automotive R&D platform described above, and will not be repeated here.

The first height difference calculation module 303 is used to calculate the upper limit and lower limit of the first height difference based on the suspension parameter group; wherein, the first height difference is the height difference between the vertical coordinates of the wheel center and the preset point, and the preset point is the midpoint of the line connecting the center points of the upper mounting surfaces of the two shock absorbers corresponding to the front wheel; The second height difference calculation module 304 is used to calculate the upper limit and lower limit of the second height difference based on the spring component parameter set; wherein, the second height difference is the height difference between the vertical coordinates of the upper vehicle center of gravity and the preset point; The center of gravity height bandwidth calculation module 305 is used to calculate the upper and lower limits of the center of gravity height of the automotive R&D platform using the extreme value method, based on the upper and lower limits of the wheel rolling radius, the upper and lower limits of the first height difference, and the upper and lower limits of the second height difference, so as to determine the center of gravity height bandwidth of the automotive R&D platform. Output module 306 is used to output the centroid height bandwidth of the automotive R&D platform.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, there are multiple wheel parameter groups; the parameters in each wheel parameter group include tire free diameter, rim radius, tire width and aspect ratio; the wheel rolling radius calculation module 302 is specifically used to substitute the parameters of the wheel parameter groups into the first formula to calculate multiple wheel rolling radii; the maximum value obtained is determined as the upper limit of the wheel rolling radius, and the minimum value obtained is determined as the lower limit of the wheel rolling radius.
