[0002] Currently, compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, new energy vehicles lack the masking effect of engine noise, have significantly different powertrain architectures, and exhibit significant changes in in-vehicle acoustic characteristics. Among these, the electric drive assembly, as a core component, has a complex system structure. Under the coupling effect of multiple excitation sources such as electromagnetic, mechanical, and aerodynamics, various noise components superimpose, resulting in significant spectral overlap.

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0025] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for evaluating the acoustic quality of an electric drive assembly according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the limitations of existing methods for evaluating electric drive assemblies in the background section, which primarily rely on sound pressure level as a single parameter, this approach neglects the subjective perception of noise from the electric drive assembly. This results in evaluation results that fail to match user experience, leading to poor overall vehicle acoustic quality. This negatively impacts the user's driving experience, brand appeal, and the competitiveness of new energy vehicles in the market. This application provides a method for evaluating the acoustic quality of an electric drive assembly. The method involves preprocessing a noise signal to obtain a preprocessed signal, processing the initial filtered noise signal based on a preset human hearing model to obtain a final noise signal, performing nonlinear processing on the final noise signal to obtain its intensity, calculating pitch loudness using a preset autocorrelation function, determining the characteristic pitch, calculating the average value of the characteristic pitch in the time domain to obtain the tone, and finally obtaining the acoustic quality evaluation result of the electric drive assembly. This addresses the problem that there are few evaluation methods for electric drive assemblies in related technologies, which mainly rely on a single parameter, sound pressure level. This method ignores the subjective perception of noise from the electric drive assembly by the human ear, resulting in evaluation results that cannot match the user's subjective experience. This leads to poor overall vehicle sound quality, affecting the user's driving experience and the product brand's appeal, and hindering the competitiveness of new energy vehicles in the market. This method simulates the subjective perception of the human ear, improves the NVH level of new energy vehicles, and enhances the user's driving experience.

[0026] Specifically, Figure 1 A flowchart of the acoustic quality evaluation method for an electric drive assembly provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for evaluating the acoustic quality of this electric drive assembly includes the following steps: In step S101, the noise signal of the electric drive assembly is acquired.

[0028] Among them, the noise signal of the electric drive assembly is the sound-related physical signal generated by the electric drive assembly during operation.

[0029] Specifically, the embodiments of this application must be carried out on a test bench in a semi-anechoic chamber, and the acoustic environment must comply with the GB / T 6882 standard; the ambient temperature should be controlled within the range of (25±2)℃, the relative humidity should be maintained within the range of 45%RH–75%RH, and the atmospheric pressure should be maintained within the range of 86kPa–106kPa.

[0030] Furthermore, the acoustic measurements in this application embodiment must use a sound level meter or equivalent system conforming to Class I or Type 1 requirements in GB / T 3785.1, with a frequency response covering 20Hz–20kHz; and the microphone must be calibrated with a Class 1 acoustic calibrator (conforming to GB / T 15173) before and after each measurement, with data having a deviation exceeding 0.5dB invalid; vibration measurements should use a triaxial accelerometer with a frequency response of not less than 10kHz and a mass of not more than 8g; the accuracy of the rotational speed measurement equipment should be better than 2%; the data acquisition system must have a 24-bit A / D conversion resolution and a sampling rate of not less than 51.2kHz to support sound pressure, vibration, rotational speed, and spectrum analysis; the test power supply must provide a stable DC voltage, and the voltage regulation error should not exceed ±2.5V (≤250V) or ±1% (>250V), and must be compatible with the power and voltage range of the motor system; the dynamometer system should be able to accurately control the rotational speed and torque, and its performance parameters must meet the operating requirements of the tested electric drive system.

[0031] Furthermore, the installation method in this embodiment should be the same as in normal use, preferably using the original vehicle mounting system and drive shaft. If the original vehicle mounting system cannot be used, a special rubber block can be used instead, but the installation posture should be consistent with the original vehicle installation state. The drive shaft should preferably be installed according to the vehicle's overall installation angle; if it cannot be installed according to the vehicle's overall installation angle, it should be installed horizontally. In addition, if the drive motor and inverter are integrated, they can be installed directly in their original state; if the drive motor and inverter are separate, the inverter needs to undergo acoustic treatment or be moved away from the measured motor to avoid affecting noise measurement.

[0032] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application should not generate abnormal vibrations or noise during operation. If auxiliary equipment connected to the electric drive system or the dynamometer's auxiliary equipment affects noise measurement, it should be acoustically isolated or installed outside the test environment, such as a regulated power supply or cooling fan. In addition, five microphones are used for noise measurement points, positioned 1 meter away from the outer contour of the electric drive system and pointing towards the geometric center of the outer contour. Specific measurement point location requirements are as follows... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a front view schematic diagram of a noise measurement point arrangement provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The core component is the microphone 201. The vibration measurement points in this embodiment use the vehicle coordinate system: X-direction—the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, with rearward being positive; Y-direction—the left-to-right direction of the vehicle, with rightward being positive; Z-direction—the vertical direction of the vehicle, with upward being positive. Furthermore, this embodiment places triaxial acceleration sensors at points of interest in various components, such as the drive motor housing, reducer housing, and inverter housing. The sensors should be mounted on a rigid structural surface, close to the excitation source, and the vibration transmission path to the excitation source should be free of vibration damping or isolation devices. Therefore, based on the above testing method, this embodiment can obtain the noise signal of the electric drive assembly.

[0033] In step S102, the noise signal is preprocessed to obtain a preprocessed signal, and the initial filtered noise signal is processed based on a preset human hearing model processing strategy to obtain a final noise signal. The final noise signal is then subjected to nonlinear processing, and the intensity of the noise signal is obtained based on the nonlinear processing result.

[0034] In some embodiments, the initial filtered noise signal is processed to obtain the final noise signal based on a preset processing strategy, including: performing human auditory filtering on the preprocessed signal based on a preset filter function to obtain the initial filtered noise signal; filtering the initial filtered noise signal based on a preset auditory filter to obtain a new noise signal; performing data division and half-wave rectification on the noise signal to obtain the half-wave rectified noise signal, and calculating the mean of the half-wave rectified noise signal to obtain the final noise signal.

[0035] Among them, the preprocessed signal is the intermediate signal obtained after preprocessing the noise signal; the preset human ear hearing model processing strategy is a model that simulates the human ear's perception characteristics of sounds of different frequencies and intensities; the initial filtered noise signal is the noise signal obtained after preliminary filtering; the final noise signal is the final noise data obtained after the initial filtered noise signal is processed by the human ear hearing model; the intensity of the noise signal is an index that quantifies the strength of the noise; the preset filter function is a pre-set mathematical formula for signal filtering; the preset auditory filter is an auditory filter group composed of overlapping asymmetric filters; the new noise signal is the updated noise signal generated after filtering and other processing; and the noise signal after half-wave rectification is the output signal after half-wave rectification.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the noise signal from the electric drive assembly bench obtained above can be preprocessed, mainly by padding the data with zeros at both ends to facilitate subsequent data processing. After preprocessing the noise signal, this embodiment further applies auditory filtering to the preprocessed signal, mainly including the head-related transfer function of the outer ear and the transfer function of the middle or inner ear. The preset filter function is used to describe the complex filtering effects of the head, auricle, and trunk; the middle or inner ear transfer function is used to describe the nonlinearity of human hearing. Based on this filter, the equal loudness curves of 20-90 phon are mainly simulated. The preset filter function is: ; in, It is a second-order filter. For filter functions, The filter order; For frequency.

[0037] Furthermore, after the aforementioned auditory filtering, the embodiments of this application can process noise signals. Through a preset auditory filter, key bandwidths and frequency conversions related to inner ear frequencies are achieved. When sound travels along the basilar membrane in the inner ear, it mediates the firing of auditory hair cells. The non-constant ratio of bandwidth to frequency in the preset auditory filter results in high frequency resolution in the low-frequency band and high time resolution in the high-frequency band, with the product of time and frequency resolution being extremely small at all frequencies—this endows humans with the ability to recognize short-term low-frequency events. The preset auditory filter is as follows: ; in, This is a preset auditory filter; Extract the real part of the filter; It is a low-pass filter; The center frequency of the filter; For time; For low-pass filtering; For key frequency band scaling, It is the imaginary unit.

[0038] Meanwhile, embodiments of this application can perform data segmentation and half-wave rectification on the noise signal to obtain a half-wave rectified noise signal, and then calculate the mean of the half-wave rectified noise signal to obtain the final noise signal. The final noise signal is: ; in, This is the final noise signal; The bandwidth lengths corresponding to different critical band ratio scales; This is the noise signal after half-wave rectification; The critical band ratio scale; For the sample index within the block; It is a half-wave rectifier function; For time blocks.

[0039] Furthermore, embodiments of this application can perform nonlinear processing on the final noise signal, converting the final noise signal into a nonlinear relationship with a specific loudness, and obtain the intensity of the noise signal based on the nonlinear processing result.

[0040] In step S103, based on a preset autocorrelation function, the pitch loudness of the noise signal is calculated according to the intensity of the noise signal, and the characteristic pitch of the noise signal is determined according to the pitch loudness of the noise signal. The average value of the characteristic pitch of the noise signal is calculated in the time domain to obtain the pitch of the noise signal, and the sound quality evaluation result of the electric drive assembly is obtained according to the pitch of the noise signal.

[0041] In some embodiments, determining the characteristic pitch of a noise signal based on its pitch loudness includes: determining a weighting function for the pitch loudness; and obtaining the characteristic pitch of the noise signal by multiplying the weighting function by the pitch loudness of the noise signal.

[0042] Among them, the preset autocorrelation function is a pre-defined mathematical function used to analyze the correlation of data time series; the pitch loudness of the noise signal is a comprehensive quantitative index characterizing the pitch and strength of the sound; the characteristic pitch of the noise signal is a key characteristic parameter that reflects the core pitch attribute of the noise; the pitch of the noise signal is a numerical value characterizing the stability of the pitch; the sound quality evaluation result of the electric drive assembly is a sensory quality assessment conclusion given for the sound generated by the electric drive assembly; and the weighting function of pitch loudness is a preset mathematical coefficient used to adjust the weight of each component of pitch loudness and highlight key information.

[0043] Specifically, to calculate the tone dispatch of the electric drive assembly noise signal, this embodiment of the application can estimate it using a preset autocorrelation function within a certain range. The preset autocorrelation function is then multiplied by the obtained pitch loudness of the noise signal. Furthermore, data within adjacent frequency bands are averaged, and the pitch loudness of the noise signal is calculated using an autocorrelation function window. Moreover, using the ratio of the pitch component to other components in the signal as a weighting function, multiplying it by the pitch loudness yields the characteristic pitch of the noise signal. Further, by calculating the average value in the time domain, the tone dispatch of the electric drive assembly noise signal based on a human hearing model can be obtained. The preset autocorrelation function is: ; in, This is a preset autocorrelation function; The bandwidth lengths corresponding to different critical band ratio scales; For delay The cross-correlation between the subsequent signal and the original signal; The signal is after rectification; For delay The following signal; For key frequency band scaling; This represents the number of delayed samples; This is the index for samples within the block.

[0044] Furthermore, to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the acoustic quality evaluation method for electric drive assemblies proposed in this application, the following is combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specific embodiments will be described below.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for calculating the pitch loudness of a noise signal, provided as an embodiment of this application.

[0063] According to the acoustic quality evaluation method for electric drive assemblies proposed in this application, a preprocessed signal is obtained by preprocessing the noise signal. Then, the initial filtered noise signal is processed based on a preset human hearing model processing strategy to obtain the final noise signal. The final noise signal is then subjected to nonlinear processing to obtain its intensity. The pitch loudness is calculated using a preset autocorrelation function, thereby determining the characteristic pitch. The average value of the characteristic pitch in the time domain is calculated to obtain the pitch, ultimately yielding the acoustic quality evaluation result of the electric drive assembly. This solves the problem that there are few evaluation methods for electric drive assemblies of new energy vehicles in related technologies, which mainly rely on a single parameter, sound pressure level. This method ignores the subjective perception of noise from the electric drive assembly, resulting in evaluation results that cannot match the user's subjective experience, leading to poor overall vehicle acoustic quality. This negatively impacts the user's driving experience and the product brand's attractiveness, hindering the competitiveness of new energy vehicles in the market. This method simulates the subjective perception of the human ear, improves the NVH level of new energy vehicles, and enhances the user's driving experience.
