Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive structural design, specifically relating to a multi-precision, multi-objective optimization design method and system for integrated die-cast rear floor. Background Technology

[0002] The overall planning for automotive development emphasizes that "lightweighting remains a top priority," a key focus for carbon emission reduction in the automotive industry. Research data shows that for every 100kg reduction in weight of a gasoline-powered vehicle, fuel consumption decreases by 0.37L / 100km, and CO2 emissions decrease by 0.9kg; for every 100kg reduction in weight of a new energy vehicle, electricity consumption is reduced by 0.46kWh / 100km, and driving range increases by 5.5%. Therefore, safety and lightweighting remain core issues facing the modern automotive industry, and related structural optimization design has always been at the forefront and a hot topic in the automotive sector.

[0003] The rear floor, as one of the core load-bearing and protective components of a vehicle's body structure, plays a crucial role in overall vehicle safety. Its primary function is to form the bottom frame of the passenger compartment, ensuring sufficient structural integrity and energy transfer path during frontal and rear-end collisions. Furthermore, as the mounting base for critical components such as the body, suspension, fuel tank, and battery pack, the rear floor accounts for a significant portion of the vehicle's weight. Therefore, a well-designed, lightweight rear floor is essential for achieving a balance between overall vehicle weight and high safety.

[0004] Traditional rear floor manufacturing processes typically involve welding together multiple stamped steel or aluminum plates. This results in a large number of parts, complex manufacturing processes, and dense welds, presenting challenges such as limited welding precision, inconsistent local stiffness, and increased overall vehicle weight. To address these challenges, the industry has developed integrated die-cast rear floors. These floors are manufactured as a single unit using large die-casting equipment, significantly reducing the number of parts and welds, and substantially improving structural integrity and connection stiffness. This not only improves the continuity and stability of energy transfer during collisions but also shortens production cycles and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the die-casting process allows for greater freedom in topology optimization and lightweight design of the rear floor, contributing to further improvements in overall vehicle safety and weight reduction. Therefore, integrated die-casting offers the most comprehensive advantages in both weight reduction and safety, possessing the potential to simultaneously enhance both automotive body safety and weight reduction, leading the future development direction of automotive bodies.

[0005] However, due to the large-scale, monolithic structure of the integrated die-cast rear floor, its geometry is more complex, with a significant increase in local stiffeners, transition fillets, and multi-layered wall thickness variations. While this structural feature significantly improves the overall strength and energy transfer continuity of the rear floor, it also necessitates higher mesh fineness and more complex material modeling strategies in finite element simulation analysis to accurately capture local stress concentrations and deformation modes. This high-precision simulation analysis substantially increases the mesh element size and solution time of the finite element model. Furthermore, the often conflicting optimality requirements of safety and lightweight design lead to problems such as disordered optimization searches and slow convergence. Traditional methods struggle to simultaneously meet multiple design objectives (i.e., maximizing safety while minimizing weight) when designing integrated die-cast rear floors for safety and lightweight purposes, and suffer from low optimization search efficiency and long design cycles.

[0111] The convergence process of multi-objective optimization design of integrated die-cast floor is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the hypervolume index is used to evaluate the comprehensive performance of multi-objective requirements. Compared with traditional design methods (single-precision differential multi-objective optimization), the method of this invention obtains the same optimization results in about 25 finite element evaluations as the traditional method in 50 finite element evaluations, representing a 50.0% improvement in efficiency. Furthermore, the final optimization effect is improved by approximately 15% compared to the traditional method. Since the time and economic cost of automotive structural design are often directly proportional to the number of evaluations, the method of this invention can improve the efficiency of optimization solutions, thereby shortening the optimization design time and saving design costs.

Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
