Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive engine testing technology, specifically a multifunctional automotive engine noise detection system. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive engine noise is a direct indicator of engine operating status. Its sources include mechanical vibration, fuel combustion, and airflow disturbance. Accurate noise detection and its characteristics are crucial for engine fault diagnosis and reliability assurance. However, traditional engine noise detection methods suffer from the following drawbacks, affecting detection efficiency and accuracy: First, fault location relies on human experience. In traditional repair scenarios, repair personnel often determine the source of noise by listening to the air. This method is highly dependent on personal experience and is easily affected by environmental noise, which may lead to misjudgment of fault location. For example, the rustling sound of a loose timing chain may be misjudged as an abnormal noise of excessive valve clearance, resulting in incorrect repair direction and increased repair costs.

[0003] Second, the diagnostic dimensions are limited and cannot fully analyze the causes of noise. Traditional testing equipment such as sound pressure meters only focus on noise intensity and cannot combine multi-source signals for comprehensive analysis.

[0004] Third, there is a lack of predictive maintenance capabilities. Engine failures are usually diagnosed after the failure occurs, and the remaining lifespan of components cannot be predicted through noise trend analysis.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-functional automotive engine noise detection system that integrates multi-source signal acquisition, multi-dimensional noise feature analysis, intelligent fault diagnosis, and predictive maintenance functions to address the aforementioned pain points in existing technologies and improve detection accuracy and maintenance efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a system structure diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention clearer and easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Example like Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional automotive engine noise detection system provided by the present invention includes a signal acquisition module, a data preprocessing module, a noise analysis module, a multifunctional application module, and a result output module.

[0020] The signal acquisition module is responsible for acquiring acoustic signals, vibration signals, thermal imaging signals and operating parameters during engine operation, providing raw data for subsequent processing. It includes a multi-source sensor array unit, an OBD data interface unit and a signal synchronization unit. The multi-source sensor array unit includes a microphone array, several accelerometers, and an infrared thermal imager. The microphone array is mounted on the front crossbeam of the engine compartment, pointing towards the center of the engine, and is used to collect acoustic signals of engine operation, including mechanical noises such as piston knocking and excessive valve clearance. The accelerometers are multiple magnetic piezoelectric accelerometers, which are installed in the engine cylinder head, oil pan, timing chain cover, etc., to capture vibration signals of various mechanical components such as valves, pistons, crankshaft, connecting rod shaft, and timing system. The infrared thermal imager is a miniaturized infrared thermal imager, which is installed inside the engine hood facing the engine surface, and is used to monitor the engine temperature distribution. The OBD data interface unit connects to the car's OBD-II interface via a CAN bus to acquire engine operating parameters in real time, including engine speed, engine load, coolant temperature, intake pressure, ignition advance angle, and oil pressure. Among these parameters, engine speed reflects the engine's operating speed and is directly related to the frequency of mechanical noise; engine load reflects the engine's current power output and is positively correlated with the intensity of combustion noise; coolant temperature reflects the engine's thermal state, and abnormal coolant temperature may lead to increased combustion noise; intake pressure reflects the state of the intake system, and poor intake may lead to increased combustion noise; and oil pressure reflects the lubrication status, and low oil pressure may lead to bearing wear and abnormal vibration. The signal synchronization unit uses a GPS timing module to add precise timestamps to multi-source signals.

[0021] The data preprocessing module is responsible for transforming the raw signal into structured features that can be used for noise analysis, including a denoising unit, a synchronization alignment unit, a feature extraction unit, and a multi-source feature fusion unit; The noise reduction unit uses an NLMS adaptive filter for acoustic signals, taking the signal collected by the background noise microphone outside the engine compartment as a reference to cancel environmental noise in real time. It uses a low-pass filter to remove the high-frequency electronic noise of the sensor itself for vibration signals, and a 3×3 median filter to remove salt-and-pepper noise in thermal imaging signals. The synchronization alignment unit reads the timestamp of each signal, uses GPS time as a reference, interpolates and aligns the sampling data from different devices to obtain a time-synchronized multi-source signal; The feature extraction unit extracts frequency domain features from acoustic signals, calculates the unweighted 1 / 3 octave band spectrum using Fast Fourier Transform, with a center frequency ranging from 25Hz to 16kHz, totaling 31 frequency bands. The sound pressure level of each frequency band is calculated using the sound pressure level calculation formula. For vibration signals, the unit calculates the vibration mean and peak value through time domain analysis, and calculates the vibration spectrum through frequency domain analysis, extracting the peak frequency. For thermal imaging signals, the unit extracts temperature data at various locations. For OBD data, the unit directly extracts numerical features of operating condition parameters. The multi-source feature fusion unit concatenates the above single-source features according to time points to generate a multi-dimensional feature set, with each time point corresponding to a feature vector.

[0022] The noise analysis module provides key information for subsequent fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of multi-functional application modules through multi-dimensional noise characteristic analysis, including a noise intensity analysis unit, a noise frequency characteristic analysis unit, a noise source location unit, and an operating condition correlation analysis unit. The noise intensity analysis unit quantifies the noise perception level. Its input is the acoustic features in the multi-dimensional feature set. First, the sound pressure level of each frequency band in the unweighted 1 / 3 octave band spectrum is obtained by energy superposition to obtain the total A-weighted sound pressure level. Then, time series analysis is performed to statistically analyze the total A-weighted sound pressure level at each time point. The output results can be used as the time series features of the predictive maintenance unit to generate a noise intensity change curve over time and transmit it to the result output module for visualization. The noise frequency feature analysis unit is used to analyze the causes of noise, extract the frequency distribution characteristics of noise, and determine the noise type. Its input is the acoustic features in a multi-dimensional feature set. The specific workflow is as follows: plotting the A-weighted 1 / 3 octave spectrum with the center frequency of the 1 / 3 octave spectrum as the x-axis and the A-weighted sound pressure level as the y-axis, identifying and extracting the peak frequency, the second highest peak frequency, and the peak sound pressure level in the spectrum, and classifying the noise type according to the range of the peak frequency: mechanical noise: 500-3000Hz, including piston knocking, excessive valve clearance, etc.; combustion noise: 100-500Hz, including detonation, incomplete combustion, etc.; aerodynamic noise: above 3000Hz, including intake / exhaust noise. The output of the noise frequency feature analysis unit includes the A-weighted 1 / 3 octave spectrum, peak frequency, and noise type. On the one hand, it is sent to the result output module for visual display of the spectrum, and on the other hand, it serves as a key feature of the fault diagnosis unit. The noise source localization unit is used to locate the spatial source of noise based on acoustic, vibration, and temperature characteristics in a multi-dimensional feature set. Its workflow is as follows: (1) The time delay of each microphone signal in the microphone array is calculated using the delay-sum beamforming algorithm. Based on the microphone position and the speed of sound propagation, the delay time in each direction is calculated, and then the sound pressure level in each direction is obtained by summing the delay times. The formula is as follows: in It is the direction angle. For microphone weights, Given the signal from the i-th microphone, a noise source localization heatmap is generated by calculating the sound pressure level in all directions. (2) Perform cross-spectral analysis to calculate the cross-power spectral density of the acoustic signal and the vibration signal, and determine whether the acoustic signal and the vibration signal originate from the same source. The formula is as follows: in, For the Fourier transform of the acoustic signal, For the Fourier transform of the vibration signal, As the expectation operator, if the CPSD amplitude is ≥0.8, it is determined that the acoustic signal and the vibration signal have the same origin, confirming that the noise comes from the engine mechanical parts; (3) Check whether the highest temperature extracted by the thermal imaging signal is abnormal. If the temperature is abnormal, it is determined that the noise may come from the combustion system. If the temperature is normal, it is further confirmed that the noise comes from mechanical parts. The operating condition correlation analysis unit is used to analyze the variation of noise characteristics with engine operating conditions and determine whether there are any abnormalities. Its inputs are acoustic characteristics and OBD operating condition characteristics from a multi-dimensional feature set. The process includes: 1. Plotting an operating condition-noise curve with engine speed or load as the x-axis and A-weighted sound pressure level or peak frequency as the y-axis; 2. Calculating the correlation between noise characteristics and operating condition parameters using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the formula is as follows: ,in, Noise characteristics, These are the operating parameters. For covariance, Let be the standard deviation, if If the two are strongly positively correlated, it indicates that the noise increases with the increase of operating conditions; 3. Compare the current operating condition-noise curve with the operating condition-noise model of a normal engine. If the curve deviates from the threshold, it is determined that the noise is abnormal. For example, if the A-weighted sound pressure level is too high at idle, it may be a problem with the idle speed motor. The output is sent to the result output module to visualize the curve and serve as the basis for the fault diagnosis unit.

[0023] The multi-functional application module is used to implement fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and model adaptation functions based on the output of the noise analysis module and the multi-dimensional feature set of the data preprocessing module through machine learning models. It includes a fault diagnosis unit, a predictive maintenance unit, and a model adaptation unit. The inputs to the fault diagnosis unit include the noise source localization results, frequency characteristics, and operating condition correlation results output by the noise analysis module, as well as the multi-dimensional feature set output by the data preprocessing module. Its workflow is as follows: 1. Construct a multi-source feature-fault relationship database: Based on a large number of engine fault cases, organize the correspondence rules between multi-source feature combinations and fault types, for example: Rule 1: Mechanical noise (peak frequency 500-1000Hz) + noise source located in cylinder head + vibration peak frequency and acoustic peak frequency from the same source (cross-spectral density ≥0.8) + idling condition (engine speed 1000±100rpm) → piston knocking; Rule 2: Mechanical noise (peak frequency 2000-3000Hz) + noise source located in valve chamber + normal thermal imaging temperature (cylinder head temperature 70-90℃) + high load conditions (engine load ≥80%) → excessive valve clearance; Rule 3: Aerodynamic noise (peak frequency ≥ 3000 Hz) + noise source location: exhaust manifold + abnormal thermal imaging temperature (exhaust manifold temperature ≥ 120 ℃) ​​+ abnormal intake pressure (intake pressure ≤ 20 kPa) → exhaust blockage.

[0024] 2. Filter out candidate faults through the rule engine: Input the multi-dimensional feature set into the rule engine, match the combination of multi-source features, and filter out candidate faults that meet the conditions. For example, the features of the engine being tested are: peak frequency 600Hz (mechanical noise), noise source is located in the cylinder head, vibration peak frequency 600Hz (same source), engine speed 1000rpm (idle speed) → match rule 1, the candidate fault is piston knocking.

[0025] 3. Random Forest Model Optimization: For multiple candidate faults output by the rule engine, the fault probability is calculated by the random forest model. The training of the random forest model is based on the historical fault-feature training set, which comes from a large amount of engine fault data. Each data point includes a set of multi-source features and a fault label.

[0026] 4. Output structured fault report: Integrate rule matching results with random forest probability to output structured fault report, including fault type, fault location and verification basis. The format of verification basis is as follows: "peak frequency 600Hz, noise source located in cylinder head, vibration peak frequency from the same source, idling condition, matching rule 1, random forest probability 95%".

[0027] The predictive maintenance unit is used to analyze the time series trend of noise characteristics and predict the remaining life of components. Its workflow is as follows: 1. Time series feature extraction: Extract trend features from the historical multidimensional feature set of the detected engine, including the monthly change of peak frequency and the monthly change of maximum A-weighted sound pressure level in acoustic features, and the monthly change of vibration peak value in vibration features; 2. LSTM model predicts nonlinear trends: Input time series features into the LSTM model. The model is trained based on historical fault data. The input is the trend features of the past n months, and the output is the trend prediction for the next m months.

[0028] 3. Calculate remaining life by combining component wear models: If the fault is determined to be mechanical, combine relevant component wear models, such as the relationship model between piston clearance and peak frequency, to convert the trend characteristics predicted by LSTM into the component wear state, and then calculate the remaining life. 4. Output Predictive Maintenance Report: Integrate LSTM prediction results with component wear model calculations to output a predictive maintenance report, which includes remaining life and verification basis. The verification basis is formatted as "The peak frequency is predicted to rise to 660Hz in the next 3 months, corresponding to a piston clearance of 1.6mm and an average monthly wear rate of 0.05mm / month".

[0029] The results output module includes: The visualization unit supports display on a screen, and the displayed content includes noise intensity changing curve over time, A-weighted 1 / 3 octave spectrum, and noise source location heat map. The report generation unit generates standardized reports, including model compatibility results, noise analysis results, structured fault reports, and predictive maintenance reports.

[0030] Therefore, the multifunctional automotive engine noise detection system provided by this invention integrates functional modules such as multi-source signal acquisition, intelligent data preprocessing, multi-dimensional noise feature analysis, and multifunctional applications. It realizes the entire process of engine "multi-source signal fusion - noise feature analysis - intelligent decision-making" detection, solving the pain points of existing technologies that rely on human experience, which can easily lead to misjudgment of fault location, single diagnostic dimensions that cannot fully analyze the causes of noise, and lack of predictive maintenance capabilities.
