[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the market and users have gradually increased their requirements for vehicle performance. As a key indicator of vehicle performance, the drag coefficient has naturally received more and more attention. When a vehicle is traveling at a speed of 80-90 km / h, 30% of its power needs to be used to overcome wind resistance. When the drag coefficient of a vehicle is reduced by about 10%, energy consumption can be reduced by about 2.5%. Therefore, in the vehicle design stage, reducing the drag coefficient has become an important design goal for reducing energy consumption.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional cabs for cabs of heavy-duty cabs have a drag coefficient exceeding 0.5 due to their near-vertical front structure and large frontal area. The drag performance of traditional cabs is typically not specifically optimized. The design of cabs for heavy-duty cabs often prioritizes structural safety requirements, and intelligent driving algorithms are optimized based on the drag coefficient and wind pressure distribution. To reduce the drag coefficient to between 0.4 and 0.5, a completely new cab needs to be developed, resulting in low standardization and utilization, thus incurring significant R&D costs.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Understandably, the formula for calculating the drag coefficient is: ; in, This is the drag coefficient. For frontal air resistance, Let v be the projected area of the vehicle's front, and v be the vehicle speed. air density; When the vehicle speed and air density are constant, air resistance depends on the drag coefficient and the vehicle's frontal projected area. The smaller the drag coefficient, the smaller the air resistance. The magnitude of the drag coefficient depends on the vehicle's frontal projected area, while the vehicle's projected area depends on the vehicle's shape.
[0019] This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and medium for iterative calculation of wind resistance parameters in truck cabs. It addresses the problem that the wind resistance performance of traditional cab-over heavy-duty trucks in the prior art is often not specifically optimized. When designing cabs for cabs of cab-over heavy-duty trucks, the design is often based on the safety requirements of structural components, and intelligent driving algorithms are optimized according to the drag coefficient and wind pressure distribution. To reduce the drag coefficient to between 0.4 and 0.5, a completely new cab needs to be developed, resulting in low standardization and utilization, thus incurring huge R&D costs. This application, however, performs multi-round aerodynamic optimization and iterative calculations on key aerodynamic components of the cab. It does not require reconstructing the original vehicle platform and can directly utilize the core structure and assembly system of existing models. While achieving the goal of low wind resistance to reduce overall vehicle energy consumption, it ensures the standardization rate of parts and the adaptability of production lines, effectively reducing the R&D cycle and development costs of new models.
[0020] Please refer to the following examples for details: Reference Figures 1-5 An embodiment of the iterative method for truck cab drag parameters provided by the present invention includes the following steps: S100: Based on the obtained external characteristic parameters of the heavy truck to be analyzed, set quantitative parameter combinations and generate variable parameter combinations; S200, based on a combination of quantitative parameters and at least one set of variable parameters, obtains a numerical calculation grid that meets the preset accuracy requirements of the drag coefficient, and constructs a drag performance test model based on the numerical calculation grid; S300 performs iterative calculations of at least one set of variable parameter combinations using the current wind resistance parameters until the preset iteration conditions are met, and uses the variable parameter combination value corresponding to the current wind resistance performance measurement sample as the vehicle wind resistance coefficient of the heavy truck.
[0021] It should be noted that, prior to performing step S100, the following steps are also included: S000: Obtain the engineering data model of the heavy truck and limit the range of values for the external feature parameters; The shape feature parameters are parameterized to obtain the shape feature parameters of the heavy truck to be analyzed.
[0022] For example, firstly, a complete engineering data model of the heavy truck to be analyzed is obtained. This model must cover the three-dimensional design model of the whole vehicle, that is, include the structural dimensions, component assembly relationships, material properties, etc. of the cab, cargo box 13, and key chassis components, to ensure the consistency between the model and the actual vehicle structure. Subsequently, based on the design constraints, manufacturing process boundaries, and aerodynamic optimization objectives of heavy-duty trucks, the range of values for the exterior shape characteristic parameters of the cab was strictly limited; for example, the range of the front fascia tilt angle parameter was limited to 85° to 88° to avoid insufficient cab space due to excessively small angles, and the height adjustment range of the fairing 10 was limited to ±50mm from the top of the cargo box 13 to ensure the continuity of airflow transition, etc. Next, the external shape features of the cab are decomposed and parameterized, that is, the unstructured geometric shape is transformed into quantifiable and adjustable design parameters. Specifically, for key aerodynamic areas such as the front, side, rear, and roof fairing 10 of the cab, the core geometric parameters that affect the flow field distribution are extracted, such as length, angle, radius of curvature, and installation position coordinates, forming a standardized set of external shape feature parameters to be analyzed.
[0023] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In this embodiment, step S100 includes: S110, set a set of quantitative parameter combinations based on the obtained shape feature parameter model of the heavy truck to be analyzed, and generate at least one set of variable parameter combinations based on the obtained shape feature parameter model of the heavy truck to be analyzed.
[0024] For example, the selection of quantitative parameter combinations is based on the principle of using the core components of the original vehicle platform and ensuring the commonality rate. Key component parameters that have a small impact on wind resistance and involve the stability of the overall vehicle structure and assembly compatibility are selected. Specifically, the original vehicle platform variable parameter combinations cover all vehicle engineering parameters corresponding to the combination of front door 3, front windshield 1, tire 11, side skirt 12, body-in-white 2 and cargo box 13.
[0025] In some embodiments, the parameters of the body-in-white 2 are structural parameters such as the spacing between the longitudinal beams of the frame, the coordinates of the cab mounting support point, and the body outline dimensions; the parameters of the front door 3 and the windshield 1 are the door opening angle range, the window glass thickness, the windshield 1 mounting reference tilt angle, and the assembly gap between the door and the side panel; the parameters of the tire 11 and the side skirt 12 are the tire 11 specifications, the coordinates of the side skirt 12 mounting fixing point, and the basic outline dimensions of the side skirt 12; the parameters of the cargo box 13 are the cargo box 13 length, width reference value, and distance reference value between the cargo box 13 and the cab; the purpose of fixing the above parameters is to ensure that the optimized cab can be directly adapted to the assembly process of the original vehicle production line without modifying core components such as the frame, door hinges, and cargo box 13 connection structure, thereby maximizing the commonality rate of parts.
[0026] For example, the selection of variable parameter combinations is based on the principle of aerodynamic sensitivity and large optimization space. The main optimization is on key exterior components in the cab that directly affect airflow separation and vortex generation. Specifically, there are three categories of variable parameter combinations: front windshield, side door, and rear roof. Each combination corresponds to specific optimization components and engineering parameters. In some embodiments, the variable parameter combination for the front windshield is the vehicle engineering parameters corresponding to the combination of the front cover 4 and the bumper 5, including the length, surface radius of curvature, and upper and lower edge tilt angles of the front cover 4, the forward extension, upper and lower section tilt angles of the bumper 5, and the radius of the corner radius connecting the bumper 5 and the front cover 4; the variable parameter combination for the side doors is the vehicle engineering parameters corresponding to the combination of the door trim panel 7, step plate 6, wheel cover 8, and mudguard 9, including the fitting curvature of the door trim panel 7 and the side door, the protruding length and tilt angle of the step plate 6, the outward expansion radius of the wheel cover 8, and the mudguard 9. The installation height and tilt angle of 9, as well as the tilt angle of the side of the vehicle body structure composed of door panel 7, step plate 6, and wheel cover 8 relative to the X-axis axis, and the radius of the rounded corner of the combined structure and the front tangent of the bumper 5, etc.; the variable parameter combination of the rear roof is the vehicle engineering parameter corresponding to the fairing 10 combination, including the transition line length between the side of fairing 10 and body-in-white 2, the step difference between the top of fairing 10 and cargo box 13, the radius of the rounded corner of the side of fairing 10, the horizontal distance between fairing 10 and cargo box 13, and the step difference distance between fairing 10 and cargo box 13 in the Y-axis direction, etc.
[0027] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In this embodiment, step S200 includes: S210, construct the main constraint coordinate system based on the combination of quantitative parameters and at least one set of variable parameters, and determine the coordinate values of the cab structure nodes and the vector values of the node connection vectors; S220 sets constraint variables and constraint conditions based on quantitative parameter combinations and at least one set of variable parameter combinations, and obtains a numerical calculation grid that meets the preset wind resistance coefficient accuracy requirements based on the main constraint coordinate system, constraint variables and constraint conditions. S230 uses a numerical computation grid to build a wind resistance performance test model and generates aerodynamic optimization design characterization parameters based on the combination of variable parameters.
[0028] For example, when constructing the main constraint coordinate system based on the original vehicle platform structure benchmark and the optimization range of the variable parameter combination corresponding to the quantitative parameter combination, the coordinate system takes the vehicle center of gravity as the origin, the X-axis along the vehicle driving direction, the Y-axis along the vehicle vertical direction, and the Z-axis along the vehicle lateral direction; then, combined with the assembly relationship and geometric constraints of each component of the cab, the coordinate values of the key structural nodes of the cab and the vector values of the lines connecting the nodes are determined to ensure the geometric accuracy of the model structure. Subsequently, constraint variables and constraint conditions are set. Constraint variables include the value range of each variable parameter combination, assembly clearance constraints between components, and geometric interference constraints. Constraint conditions include aerodynamic performance constraints and mesh quality constraints. Based on the above main constraint coordinate system, constraint variables, and constraint conditions, the surface of the cab and the flow field region are meshed to form a numerical calculation mesh that meets the preset drag coefficient accuracy requirements. For example, a denser mesh can be used for aerodynamically sensitive areas such as the front bulkhead, fairing 10, and rearview mirrors, while a gradient mesh can be used for flow field regions far from the vehicle body to balance calculation accuracy and calculation efficiency. Next, the generated numerical calculation mesh is imported into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software, and boundary conditions, turbulence models and solution parameters are set to construct a complete drag performance test model. At the same time, based on the core optimization direction of variable parameter combination, aerodynamic optimization design characterization parameters are generated. This parameter set includes drag coefficient, vehicle frontal projection area, vehicle surface pressure distribution, flow field velocity vector, boundary layer separation point location, eddy intensity, etc., providing a quantitative basis for evaluating the results of subsequent iterative calculations.
[0029] Please continue reading. Figure 5 In this embodiment, step S300 includes: S310: Input the test values of aerodynamic optimization design characterization parameters, and perform iterative calculation of wind resistance parameters on one or more sets of variable parameters based on the preset gradient step size until the preset iteration conditions are met. S320 reads the variable parameter combination values corresponding to the current wind resistance performance calculation sample and outputs them as reference values for the vehicle wind resistance coefficient of heavy trucks.
[0030] For example, the initial test values of the generated aerodynamic optimization design characterization parameters are input into the iterative calculation system, and a preset gradient step size is set. This step size is determined based on a combination of optimization accuracy requirements and computational efficiency. The drag parameters are iteratively calculated for one or more sets of variable parameter combinations. During the iteration process, the values of one or more variable parameters are adjusted each time, and the corresponding aerodynamic characterization parameters are calculated through the drag performance test model. The difference between the current calculation result and the previous result is compared. The calculation stops when the preset iteration conditions are met. The preset iteration conditions include: drag coefficient convergence (e.g., the difference in drag coefficient ≤ 0.005 after 3 consecutive iterations), reaching the preset upper limit of the number of iterations (e.g., 50 times), and the drag coefficient decreasing to the target range (e.g., 0.40 to 0.45). Once the iterative calculation stops, the variable parameter combination value corresponding to the current wind resistance performance measurement sample is read and used as the reference value of the vehicle's wind resistance coefficient. At the same time, the corresponding auxiliary analysis data such as the pressure distribution on the vehicle body surface and the flow field optimization effect are output to provide direct data support for the physical design and prototyping of the cab.
[0031] For example, see Figures 7-15 When setting variables and invariants, the front door 3, windshield 1, tires 11, side skirts 12, body-in-white 2, and cargo box 13 are set as invariants, while the front grille 4, bumper 5, door trim 7, step 6, wheel covers 8, mudguards 9, and fairing 10 are set as variables. Before optimization, the drag coefficient of the base model is 0.55. Figure 7 As shown.
[0032] In some embodiments, the length of the front hood 4 in the front windshield variable parameter combination (in...) Figure 8 The parameter a) is the distance between the front extension of the bumper 5 (in the middle). Figure 8 In the case of parameter b), an equal step-size combination iterative strategy is adopted: the adjustment method of parameter a is based on the initial length, and each step is increased by 10mm as a gradient step; the adjustment method of parameter b is based on the initial forward extension, and each step is increased by 10mm as a gradient step; through orthogonal experimental design, the wind resistance is calculated for all combinations of parameters a and b, and the correspondence between the vehicle's projected area and the wind resistance coefficient under each combination is analyzed. Increasing the length of the front grille 4 allows for a more streamlined transition at the front of the cab, reducing airflow separation at the junction of the front grille 4 and the windshield; proper adjustment of the bumper 5's forward extension optimizes the airflow angle at the front, reducing the frontal impact of airflow on the bumper 5; through multiple iterative calculations, the optimal combination of parameters a and b is finally determined, at which point the vehicle's projected area is optimized to a reasonable range, and the drag coefficient is reduced to 0.422. Figure 9 As shown.
[0033] In some embodiments, the tilt angle between the side of the vehicle body structure composed of the door trim panel 7, step plate 6, and wheel cover 8 in the side door variable parameter combination and the X-axis axis (in...) Figure 10 The body structure, consisting of the door trim panel 7, step panel 6, and wheel cover 8, and the rounded corners of the front tangent of the bumper 5 (where α is the parameter), is similar to that of the bumper 5. Figure 10 The parameter R is used, and an equal-step coupling iteration strategy is adopted: the parameter α is adjusted based on the initial angle, and each step is increased by 5° as a gradient step; the parameter R is adjusted based on the initial radius, and each step is increased by 50mm as a gradient step; wind resistance is calculated for all combinations of parameters α and R, and the boundary layer separation and eddy intensity changes in the side flow field are analyzed in detail. Increasing parameter α causes the side structure composed of door panel 7, step plate 6, and wheel cover 8 to form a wedge-shaped streamline, reducing frictional and induced drag as airflow flows along the side. Increasing parameter R optimizes the airflow transition between the side and the front of the bumper 5, avoiding boundary layer separation caused by sharp edges. Through iterative calculations, the optimal combination of parameters α and R is determined, resulting in a more stable side flow field, a significantly reduced vortex region, and a further reduction in drag coefficient to 0.411. Figure 11 As shown.
[0034] In some embodiments, the length of the transition line between the side of the fairing 10 and the body-in-white 2 in the rear roof variable parameter combination (in...) Figure 12 (Parameter c) The difference between the top of the fairing 10 and the cargo box 13 (in) Figure 13 (Parameter e) and the rounded corners of the fairing 10 side (in) Figure 12 (Parameter R1 is in the middle) and the distance between the fairing 10 and the cargo box 13 (in the middle) Figure 12 (where L is the parameter) and the step distance between the fairing 10 and the cargo box 13 in the Y-axis direction (in Figure 12 (where d is the parameter) adopts a multivariate stepwise iterative strategy: the adjustment method is based on the initial value of each parameter, and each step is increased by 50mm; the stepwise optimization method is adopted, first fixing other parameters, optimizing the optimal value of each individual parameter one by one, and then combining and verifying and fine-tuning the optimal values of all parameters. The core function of the fairing 10 is to connect the airflow between the cab and the cargo box 13. Optimization of parameter c ensures continuous airflow along the surface of the fairing 10. Optimization of parameters e and d eliminates the airflow gap between the cab and the cargo box 13. Optimization of parameter R1 reduces vortex generation at the edge of the fairing 10. Optimization of parameter L controls the airflow transition distance between the fairing 10 and the cargo box 13. Through multi-dimensional combination iterations, one or more optimal combinations are finally determined, allowing the airflow to smoothly transition from the top of the cab to the top of the cargo box 13. The negative pressure drag resistance is significantly reduced, and the drag coefficient is ultimately reduced to 0.402. Figure 14 As shown; Through the above technical solution, the drag coefficient of the basic vehicle model in this application is 0.569, which is reduced to 0.402 after optimization, a reduction of 0.167, successfully entering the target range of 0.4 to 0.5; Real-world testing shows that at a speed of 60 km / h, the optimized model consumes 7.68 kWh less energy per 100 km than the base model; at a speed of 80 km / h, the energy consumption per 100 km is reduced by 13.52 kWh, effectively improving the vehicle's range. During the optimization process, the core components such as the body-in-white 2, doors, and cargo box 13 of the original vehicle platform are fully utilized, and the parts commonality rate reaches more than 80%. There is no need to reconstruct the vehicle platform, develop new molds, or adjust the production line, which greatly reduces the R&D cycle and development costs. Moreover, the optimized parameters can directly guide the design and trial production of physical parts without the need for a large number of additional physical tests, thus reducing R&D risks.
[0035] Understandably, this application focuses on key aerodynamic components such as the front of the cab, side panels, roof fairing 10, side deflectors, and chassis skirts. It conducts multiple rounds of aerodynamic optimization and iteration calculations on their installation positions, shapes, and curvatures to achieve refined aerodynamic optimization of the vehicle's exterior styling while effectively reducing the cab's drag coefficient. This optimization approach does not require restructuring the original vehicle platform and can directly utilize the core structure and assembly system of the existing vehicle's body-in-white 2, doors, and various accessories. The standardization rate can reach over 80%. While achieving the goal of low drag to reduce overall vehicle energy consumption, it also ensures the standardization rate of parts and the adaptability of the production line, effectively reducing the R&D cycle and development costs of new models.
