Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sealing simulation technology, specifically to a method and system for simulating and optimizing the sealing performance of cargo box doors. Background Technology
[0002] Cargo doors, such as the rear or side doors of trucks, vans, or special vehicles, are a critical component of the vehicle structure. One of their core functions is to provide reliable sealing performance to protect the cargo inside the cargo box from the intrusion of the external environment, especially rainwater, dust, and high-pressure water vapor. During actual vehicle operation, the cargo door is not in a static environment but is constantly subjected to complex dynamic loads. These loads mainly originate from random vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces and chassis torsion during vehicle steering or driving on rough roads. These dynamic loads inevitably cause macroscopic structural displacement and elastic deformation of the door's load-bearing frame. Therefore, accurately predicting and optimizing the sealing integrity of the door under dynamic conditions during the design phase, and ensuring that the sealing system can effectively compensate for these structural deformations, is a key technical problem that must be solved in vehicle body design, especially in the design of freight vehicles.
[0003] Existing simulation methods for sealing performance have significant limitations in addressing this problem. Current mainstream simulation models tend to treat the door's load-bearing structure and sealing system as a single rigid or semi-rigid unit. This modeling approach leads to excessive coupling between structural deformation and sealing failure. In simulations, the macroscopic dynamic displacement of the load-bearing frame is incorrectly and without attenuation transmitted to the sealing interface, causing simulation results to often exaggerate the risk of sealing failure, even leading to pessimistic conclusions that structural deformation inevitably leads to sealing failure. This forces designers to rely excessively on the single and expensive method of strengthening the load-bearing structure to meet sealing requirements, neglecting the possibility of isolating and compensating for deformation through flexible connections or optimizing the compression stroke of the sealing strip itself. Furthermore, existing design processes lack a closed-loop, automated optimization mechanism, heavily relying on engineers' personal experience for parameter adjustments, resulting in high trial-and-error costs and difficulty in converging to the optimal solution. Simultaneously, the design fails to co-quantify and analyze the instantaneous leakage of the sealing strip and the redundant drainage capacity of the water channel, leading to scattered design objectives and an inability to achieve a comprehensive balance and synergistic optimization among structural load-bearing capacity, precision sealing, and redundant water channeling.

[0029] 1. This application constructs an innovative rigid-flexible decoupled composite frame simulation model, which decouples the structural load-bearing function from the sealing function at the simulation level. Instead of rigidly transferring the macroscopic displacement of the load-bearing domain to the sealing domain, it introduces a decoupling transfer matrix to accurately quantify the isolation and attenuation capabilities of the flexible connectors for structural vibration and deformation. This more realistically reflects the physical reality and enables the simulation system to accurately assess the microscopic stability maintained by the sealing domain through its own flexible connection when the load-bearing domain undergoes dynamic deformation, thereby avoiding over-design caused by model distortion.
[0030] 2. This application establishes a multi-level collaborative evaluation system, which for the first time unifies and comprehensively analyzes dynamic sealing integrity and redundant water conduction capacity. It not only evaluates whether the seal has failed, but also quantitatively calculates the instantaneous leakage flow when failure occurs and compares it with the maximum discharge flow of the water guide channel to generate a redundancy index. By weighting and combining the sealing performance score and the redundancy performance score into a total collaborative index, this invention provides a single and clear optimization target for design, and achieves a collaborative balance of the three originally conflicting performance indicators of load-bearing capacity, sealing, and water conduction.
[0031] 3. This application provides a closed-loop automatic optimization logic. Through a preset hierarchical correction strategy, it significantly improves design efficiency and reduces R&D costs. When the simulation results do not meet the collaborative goal, it can automatically trigger iterative optimization and simulate the design thinking of senior engineers. It prioritizes the optimization of low-cost parameters such as the sealing domain and the guide water area. Only when the flexible compensation measures reach their limit will it initiate the high-cost correction of the stiffness of the bearing domain. This structured intelligent correction path replaces the traditional trial-and-error process that relies on the experience of engineers, accelerates the simulation convergence speed, and ensures the economy and engineering feasibility of the optimization scheme.

[0036] Example 1
[0037] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a method and system for simulating and optimizing the sealing performance of cargo box doors, including: S1, solving the macroscopic structural displacement of the load-bearing domain based on the three-dimensional geometric model parameters of the cargo box door and the preset dynamic load conditions;

[0043] This embodiment provides a simulation optimization method for the sealing performance of cargo box doors. The method aims to achieve the coordinated design of the load-bearing, sealing and water-proof performance of cargo box doors by constructing a rigid-flexible decoupled simulation model and closed-loop optimization logic, which solves the technical problem that traditional integrated rigid body models cannot take into account both structural strength and sealing accuracy.
[0044] The specific steps of this method are as follows:
[0045] S1, Data Acquisition and Modeling; The purpose of this step is to initialize all the input parameters required for the simulation model and solve the macroscopic response of the structural frame under dynamic loads; Perform data acquisition; Acquire the three-dimensional geometric model parameters of the cargo box door. These three-dimensional geometric model parameters are digital information describing the geometric shape of the door, which provides the basis for finite element mesh generation. The source of these parameters is CAD software modeling.
[0046] Simultaneously, a series of preset parameters are collected, which define the operating conditions and physical baselines of the simulation system:
[0047] Collect preset dynamic load conditions Decoupling transfer matrix Effective compression stroke in the normal direction ;
[0048] Preset sealing threshold, preset high-pressure water vapor impact pressure Preset water channel parameters, preset flow coefficient Preset weighting model, preset collaborative target, preset leakage-injection conversion threshold; Preset performance score threshold and preset redundancy score threshold;

[0050] S2, Failure Index Calculation; The purpose of this step is to calculate the macroscopic structural displacement based on the rigid-flexible decoupling model. Converted to micro-displacement of sealed interface And further quantified into a dynamic seal failure index. Combined with macroscopic structural displacement With decoupling transfer matrix Calculate the microscopic displacement of the sealed region Microscopic displacement based on the sealed domain With normal effective compression stroke The dynamic seal failure index was calculated. ;
[0051] S3, Failure Status Determination; The purpose of this step is to determine the sealing status based on the failure determination result of S2 and provide a trigger signal for S4.
[0052] In response to the dynamic seal failure index exceeding the preset seal threshold, i.e. If the seal fails, the leakage calculation and redundancy analysis in S4 will be triggered.
[0053] In response to the dynamic seal failure index not exceeding a preset sealing threshold, i.e. If the seal is valid, the redundant validity index of S4 will be generated.
[0054] S4, Water Conveying Redundancy Analysis; The purpose of this step is to evaluate the redundancy capability of the second line of defense (water convection channel) in response to the judgment result of S3.
[0055] In response to S3 determining a seal failure, calculate the instantaneous total flow rate of leakage. Based on preset water channel parameters, for example Hydraulic gradient and flow channel roughness Wait, calculate the maximum discharge flow rate. Combined with maximum discharge flow rate With instantaneous total flow Generate the water-conducting redundancy index ;
[0056] If the seal is deemed effective in response to S3, indicating that the first line of defense is intact, then the water diversion system is deemed to be redundant and effective.
[0057] S5, Synergy Index Generation; The purpose of this step is to normalize the two key performance indicators obtained in S2 and S4 and combine them into a single, optimizable overall objective function; Based on the dynamic seal failure index, a seal performance score is generated. Based on the water-conducting redundancy index, a redundancy performance score is generated. Combined with sealing performance score Redundancy performance score A total synergy index is generated using a pre-defined weighting model. ;
[0058] S6, Closed-loop optimization; the purpose of this step is to optimize the total synergy index generated in S5. It automatically iterates and optimizes the design parameters until the design goals are met;
[0059] In response to the overall synergy index not meeting the preset synergy target, for example If the system fails to meet the performance requirements, a graded correction strategy will be initiated; the system will strategically iteratively optimize at least one preset parameter based on the performance bottleneck.
[0060] In response to the overall synergy index meeting the preset synergy target, for example If the simulation optimization ends, the current design parameters are output as the final optimization result.
[0061] The method described in this embodiment, through the construction of a rigid-flexible decoupling model, dynamic failure discrimination, and redundant water-conducting analysis, achieves for the first time a unified quantitative evaluation of the load-bearing, sealing, and water-conducting performance of cargo box doors at the simulation level. More importantly, by constructing a single total synergy index and a hierarchical correction strategy, this method establishes a complete closed-loop optimization system. It can automatically iterate and balance conflicting design goals, solving the pain points of existing technologies that rely on engineer experience, have high trial-and-error costs, and cannot achieve collaborative optimization, thus significantly improving the quality and efficiency of cargo box door sealing design.
[0062] Example 2:
[0063] Solving the structural dynamics equations of the bearing domain includes: solving the macroscopic structural displacement of the bearing domain based on the mass matrix, damping matrix, and stiffness matrix of the bearing domain, combined with preset dynamic load conditions.
[0064] This embodiment is a specific implementation of the S1 step for solving the structural dynamics equations of the load-bearing domain; the purpose of solving the structural dynamics equations of the load-bearing domain is to accurately simulate the load-bearing domain under dynamic loads. The physical response under these conditions; in this embodiment, the solution is achieved through the standard finite element structural dynamics equations:
[0065]
[0066] It is the mass matrix of the load-bearing domain, representing the mass distribution of each node in the load-bearing domain structure. Its source is defined by the three-dimensional geometric model and material density.
[0067] It is the damping matrix of the load-bearing domain, representing the energy dissipation characteristics of the structure during vibration. Its source is determined according to the material properties and the structural connection method.
[0068] It is the stiffness matrix of the bearing domain, representing the structure's ability to resist deformation. It is obtained through finite element calculation using a three-dimensional geometric model and the elastic modulus of the material.
[0069] The preset dynamic load condition is an external force vector that is applied to the structure and changes over time. Its source is the load condition input collected in S1.
[0070] It is the macroscopic structural displacement of the bearing domain, representing the displacement vector of each node of the structure as time changes, and is the output of the solution to this equation;
[0071] and These are displacements The first derivative with respect to time is velocity, and the second derivative is acceleration;
[0072] Based on the inherent logic of this model, by constructing and solving this dynamic equation, this scheme can solve for the macroscopic structural displacement of the bearing domain based on the mass matrix, damping matrix, and stiffness matrix of the bearing domain, combined with preset dynamic load conditions. ;
[0073] This embodiment employs standard finite element structural dynamics equations, providing a solid physical foundation for the simulation; it ensures the accuracy of the calculated macroscopic structural displacements. It can accurately reflect the actual deformation and vibration response of the load-bearing frame under complex dynamic working conditions, thus providing high-precision and reliable input data for the subsequent rigid-flexible decoupling analysis S2, avoiding the problem of failure of the entire simulation chain due to structural model distortion.
[0074] Example 3:
[0075] The calculation of the dynamic seal failure index includes: multiplying the macroscopic structural displacement by the decoupling transfer matrix to obtain the microscopic displacement of the sealing domain; and based on the microscopic displacement of the sealing domain, dividing the component of the normal direction at the sealing interface by the effective normal compression stroke to obtain the dynamic seal failure index.
[0076] This embodiment is a specific implementation of step S2 for calculating the dynamic seal failure index; this step is the core of achieving rigid-flexible decoupling and failure discrimination; the purpose of calculating the dynamic seal failure index is to measure the macroscopic displacement of the bearing domain. Microscopic failure quantification index converted into sealing domain ;
[0077] Displacement of macrostructure Its source is the calculated output of S1, multiplied by the decoupling transfer matrix. The microscopic displacement of the sealed region is obtained. This step is achieved through the following decoupling transitive relationship:
[0078]
[0079] in, It is A transfer matrix of dimension, where It is a carrying domain The number of degrees of freedom, It is a sealed area The number of degrees of freedom; representing the ability of flexible connectors to isolate structural vibrations and deformations and their transmission paths; in traditional models, The identity matrix assumes that the seal is rigidly connected to the frame, resulting in The deformation must be transmitted as Deformation; It is the macroscopic structural displacement of the bearing domain;
[0080] It is a key parameter for realizing rigid-flexible decoupling simulation, and it characterizes the effect of the flexible connector on the macroscopic displacement of the bearing domain. The isolation and transmission characteristics; in this embodiment, This can be determined through a combination of simulation and experimental calibration:
[0081] Refined Sub-model Simulation: A locally refined finite element sub-model is established, including the sealing strip, mounting groove, and door contact surface. This sub-model employs a nonlinear material constitutive model capable of characterizing the physical properties of the sealing strip and incorporates contact nonlinearity. Typical macroscopic structural displacements are applied to the load-bearing domain boundary of the sub-model. As the input load, the microscopic displacements of the corresponding nodes on the sealed domain are obtained by solving. . The coefficients of each term in the matrix can be obtained through The relationship is calculated in reverse;
[0082] Experimental calibration and verification: Alternatively, dynamic vibration experiments can be conducted on the actual door-sealing strip assembly on a standard test bench, using tools such as laser displacement sensors to simultaneously measure the displacement response of key nodes in the load-bearing and sealing domains. Using the collected experimental data, the simulation sub-model can be calculated... The coefficients are corrected and calibrated to ensure that they accurately reflect the transmission characteristics of the physical system.
[0083] By introducing Functional separation was achieved at the model level, and the damping effect of flexible connections on vibration was quantified.
[0084] This formula is the mathematical embodiment of the rigid-flexible decoupling concept in this scheme; it is based on the microscopic displacement of the sealed domain obtained in the previous step. Divide its component in the normal direction at the sealing interface by the effective normal compression stroke. The dynamic seal failure index was obtained. This step is achieved using the following normalization formula:
[0085]
[0086] in, yes In the The displacement component perpendicular to the sealing surface at each node;
[0087] To achieve this calculation, the relationship in this embodiment... It should be understood specifically as vector operations;
[0088] Furthermore, the aforementioned normal components By taking the total microscopic displacement vector Extracted from nodes Three-dimensional displacement vector The unit normal vector to the sealed interface of this node The specific calculation formula for obtaining this through projection is as follows:
[0089]
[0090] in, It is determined in S1 based on the three-dimensional geometric model, at the nodes. A unit vector perpendicular to the sealing surface;
[0091] With this supplement The computational premises become clear and reproducible; This is the maximum normal deformation that the sealing strip can compensate for, and its source is the preset parameters collected in S1; this formula compares two core physical quantities: the deformation of the sealing interface that needs to be compensated. Compensation provided by the sealing strip ; This means that the deformation is within the sealing strip's capacity, and the seal is effective. This means that the deformation exceeds the limit, creating a momentary gap and causing the seal to fail;
[0092] This embodiment introduces... coefficients and sum The index has a dual benefit effect: firstly, The formula achieves structural load-bearing capacity at the simulation model level. With sealing function The separation of [the elements] solves the coupling problem in traditional models where structural deformation inevitably leads to seal failure; secondly, The formula normalizes the complex physical process into an intuitive and comparable failure index, transforming the question of whether a seal has failed from a vague qualitative issue into a precise quantitative one, providing accurate input for leakage calculations in S3 and performance scoring in S5.
[0093] Example 4:
[0094] After calculating the dynamic seal failure index, the method also includes: classifying the sealing status into effective sealing, instantaneous leakage, or high-pressure water injection based on the dynamic seal failure index and the preset leakage-water injection conversion threshold; wherein, S3 triggers leakage calculation in response to the sealing status being instantaneous leakage or high-pressure water injection.
[0095] This embodiment is based on the calculation of the dynamic seal failure index. Subsequently, a step was added to refine the classification of the sealing condition; based on the dynamic seal failure index. With preset leakage-injection conversion threshold The sealing status is classified into levels; status one is effective sealing, triggered by the following conditions: The physical meaning is the physical compensation capability of the sealing strip for displacement at the sealing interface. Within the range; State 2 is instantaneous leakage, triggered by the following conditions: , That is, a preset leakage-injection conversion threshold, for example The physical meaning is that the interface displacement has exceeded the compensation limit. This creates a momentary gap; state three is high-pressure water injection, triggered by the following conditions: The physical meaning is that the gap is severely exceeded, allowing high-pressure water vapor to escape from the outside. High-pressure water injection channels are formed under impact; this grading rule is defined in this scheme.
[0096] Should The threshold setting has a clear physical basis, and it is usually related to the crush point or failure point of the nonlinear compression characteristic curve of the sealing strip material; that is, when the deformation... Exceed When this occurs, the sealing strip not only loses its sealing ability, but its structure itself may also suffer irreversible damage or collapse, leading to a rapid expansion of the moisture passages. Therefore, The value setting ensures that this scheme can impose a more severe penalty on structural failures; specifically, S3 triggers leakage calculation in response to instantaneous leakage or high-pressure water injection in the sealing state; in other words, as long as The leakage calculation unit in S3 is then activated;
[0097] This embodiment provides richer diagnostic information than a binary judgment of failure or non-failure; by introducing... The threshold distinguishes between instantaneous leakage and high-pressure water injection, enabling this method to assess the severity of failure. This not only provides clear triggering conditions for the calculation of S3, but also enhances the sealing performance score in S5. It provides more refined penalty criteria, making the entire optimization system more sensitive and accurate in avoiding severe failures.
[0098] Example 5:
[0099] The calculation of the instantaneous total flow rate of leakage includes: traversing all failure nodes, multiplying the difference between the micro displacement and the effective normal compression stroke by the characteristic length of the sealing strip; summing the calculation results of all failure nodes to obtain the instantaneous total gap area; and calculating the instantaneous total flow rate of leakage based on the instantaneous total gap area and the preset high-pressure water vapor impact pressure, and using the preset flow coefficient, through the orifice outflow model.
[0100] This embodiment is a specific implementation of step S3 for calculating the instantaneous total flow rate of leakage; this step is in It is triggered at certain times to quantify the amount of water leakage;
[0101] Traverse all failed nodes, i.e. ,in It is all satisfied The set of nodes; the difference between the micro-displacement of the sealing domain and the effective normal compression stroke, i.e. Multiply by the characteristic length of the sealing strip corresponding to that node. This product Representing the The instantaneous gap area of each failed node is calculated; the calculation results of all failed nodes are summed to obtain the total instantaneous gap area. This step is achieved using the following formula:
[0102]
[0103] in, It is the characteristic length of the sealing strip, which comes from the geometric model parameters collected by S1; yes In the The displacement components perpendicular to the sealing surface at each node are derived from the S2 calculation results; It is the maximum normal deformation that the sealing strip can compensate for, which comes from the S1 preset parameter;
[0104] Based on the instantaneous total gap area obtained in the previous step With preset high-pressure water vapor impact pressure And using a preset flow coefficient The instantaneous total flow rate of leakage was calculated using a standard orifice outflow model. This step is achieved using the following formula:
[0105]
[0106] in, The preset flow coefficient for S1; This is the result of the calculation in the previous step; Input the operating conditions collected by S1; Let be the density of water, and be a standard physical constant. The instantaneous total flow rate of the leakage is expressed in units of... ;
[0107] This embodiment will determine the failure in S2. Further quantification; through formula and This formula and method precisely convert the degree of failure into the amount of water leakage. This provides a clear load input for the water diversion redundancy analysis in S4, transforming the question of whether the water diversion channel is sufficient from a qualitative assessment to a data-driven approach. Penetration and The precise quantitative comparison of discharge volume greatly enhances the scientific nature of redundancy design.
[0108] Example 6:
[0109] The overall synergy index is generated by: generating a sealing performance score based on the maximum value of the dynamic sealing failure index; generating a redundancy performance score based on the minimum value of the water-conducting redundancy index; and weighting and summing the sealing performance score and the redundancy performance score using a preset weighting model to obtain the overall synergy index.
[0110] This embodiment is a specific implementation of step S5 for generating the overall synergy index; the purpose of this step is to merge two key but different performance indicators, namely sealing performance and redundancy performance, into a single optimization objective. ;
[0111] Maximum value based on dynamic seal failure index Generate sealing performance score ; This refers to all nodes and the entire simulation time domain Internal observation The maximum value is derived from the calculation output of S2; The calculation formula is as follows, which is defined as a piecewise function to ensure that the score is correctly normalized to...
