Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical performance testing technology, specifically to a tooling for testing the stiffness of a swing arm node. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component in critical mechanical structures such as vehicle suspension systems, the stiffness characteristics of the swingarm joint are a fundamental technical indicator determining the overall handling stability, reliability, and safety of the vehicle. Therefore, accurate measurement of the swingarm joint's stiffness is a necessary step in product development, quality control, and performance verification processes.
[0003] In existing stiffness testing techniques, a common method is to use contact displacement sensors. This method involves placing one or more sensors at specific locations on the object under test, applying a known load through a loading device, and measuring the displacement at those locations. The stiffness is then calculated based on the force-displacement relationship. However, this method only reflects the displacement information of a single or a few discrete measurement points, failing to capture the complete deformation distribution of the object under load. More importantly, during loading, in addition to its own elastic deformation, the object often undergoes minute overall translational or rotational displacements within the fixture—i.e., rigid body displacements. The displacement measured by contact sensors is a coupled value of elastic deformation displacement and rigid body displacement, unable to effectively separate the two. This leads to a deviation between the calculated stiffness value and the true stiffness characteristics of the object under test.
[0004] To obtain full-field deformation information, optical non-contact measurement techniques such as 3D digital image correlation have been introduced into stiffness testing. This technique uses a fixed binocular vision system to capture surface images of the object before and after loading, reconstructing its 3D morphology and calculating the full-field displacement. However, due to the limitations of the measurement system's field of view, only local surface data of the object facing the camera can be obtained, while the morphology and displacement information of the back, sides, and other occluded areas are completely missing. When using this incomplete surface displacement data to solve for the overall rigid body displacement parameters of the object, the mathematical model used for calculation lacks sufficient geometric constraints, making it difficult to obtain a unique and accurate solution. This uncertainty in the rigid body displacement calculation directly hinders the accurate extraction of the purely elastic deformation component from the total displacement field, thus affecting the accuracy of the final stiffness calculation results. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a swing arm node stiffness testing fixture, which solves the problem that existing technologies, due to their use of single-point contact measurement or fixed-viewpoint local optical measurement, cannot obtain the complete surface displacement field of the object under test, thus failing to accurately separate rigid body displacement and elastic deformation, ultimately resulting in deviations in stiffness test results.

[0044] The workflow of the scanning full-field deformation analysis stiffness test according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. The first step of this process is test preparation and speckle preparation, which provides the necessary foundation for subsequent image acquisition and analysis.
[0045] Before conducting the stiffness test, the object to be tested, such as the first swing arm node 8 or the second swing arm node 11, is first installed into the clamping mechanism of the loading and clamping module a and then securely fixed.
[0046] To ensure the adhesion quality of the subsequent speckle pattern, the surface area of the object to be analyzed needs to be cleaned to remove oil, dust, and other contaminants. This surface area to be analyzed is the main target area for scanning and imaging by the subsequent linked scanning image acquisition module b.
[0047] After cleaning, a uniform, non-reflective white primer layer is applied to the surface area to be analyzed. After the primer layer has cured, a layer of randomly distributed black spots is applied to the white primer layer by spraying or other equivalent methods, thus forming a random speckle pattern.
[0048] The random speckle pattern is isotropic and has high contrast. The size and distribution density of the speckles are adapted to the resolution and measurement field of view of the camera device 22 to ensure that the full-field deformation analysis module d can identify and track the speckles in the image. After the speckle pattern is prepared, it must be ensured that it is completely cured and remains stable, does not fall off, and does not crack during subsequent scanning and loading processes.
[0049] After completing the test preparation and speckle fabrication steps, the next step is to establish the initial three-dimensional surface digital model. This step is performed under zero load conditions where the loading and clamping module a does not apply any external load to the object under test. The purpose is to obtain the accurate three-dimensional morphology of the object under stress-free conditions, which will serve as the calculation benchmark for subsequent deformation analysis.
[0050] This step is uniformly scheduled and executed by the collaborative control module c. The collaborative control module c issues a command to start the second drive component 23 and the third drive motor 26 in the linked scanning image acquisition module b.
[0051] Specifically, the collaborative control module c controls the second drive component 23 to drive the annular path moving component, so that the circular toothed plate 20 and the entire lifting path component fixed thereon and the camera device 22 perform a circular motion around the central axis of the object being measured along a preset trajectory.
[0052] While performing circular motion, the coordination control module c controls the third drive motor 26 to drive the lifting path assembly, enabling the camera device 22 to perform a preset lifting motion in the vertical direction. The combination of the circular and lifting motions forms a spiral or segmented scanning path, ensuring that the camera device 22 can cover the prepared speckle area on the surface of the object being measured without omission from multiple different spatial perspectives.
[0053] During the entire linkage scanning process, the camera device 22 continuously captures and acquires a series of high-definition images according to a preset frequency or position point, and transmits the image sequence data to the full-field deformation analysis module d.
[0054] After receiving the complete image sequence, the full-field deformation analysis module d invokes a stereo matching and 3D reconstruction algorithm. This algorithm identifies and matches the same speckle feature point in images from different viewpoints, calculating the precise coordinates of that point in the 3D spatial coordinate system. By calculating the 3D coordinates of all identifiable speckles on the surface of the object under test, an initial 3D surface digital model of the object under test, composed of massive 3D coordinate point cloud data, is finally constructed and generated. This initial 3D surface digital model is stored and used as the zero-point reference for all subsequent deformation calculations.
[0055] After establishing the initial three-dimensional surface digital model, the next step is to load and acquire the deformed three-dimensional surface digital model. This step aims to obtain the accurate three-dimensional morphology of the object under test under a preset load, providing data for subsequent displacement field calculations.
[0056] This step is uniformly scheduled by the collaborative control module c. The collaborative control module c issues commands to the loading and clamping module a to apply a preset load to the object under test. Specifically, the collaborative control module c controls the first electric push rod 9 to drive the radial stiffness fixture 17, or controls the corresponding drive component to drive the axial stiffness fixture 36, to apply a preset, constant force F to the object under test. This force F is recorded and used for subsequent stiffness calculations.
[0057] With the load F applied and maintained in a stable state, the collaborative control module c issues another command to activate the linkage scanning image acquisition module b. The linkage scanning image acquisition module b completely replicates the scanning process described above when establishing the initial model, that is, it uses the exact same scanning path, movement speed, and image acquisition parameters to perform a second full-surface scan of the object under load.
[0058] During this process, camera device 22 acquires and generates a new high-definition image sequence, and transmits the sequence data to the full-field deformation analysis module d.
[0059] After receiving the image sequence under loading conditions, the full-field deformation analysis module d executes the same stereo matching and 3D reconstruction algorithm used when building the initial model. Through this algorithm, the system constructs and generates a deformed 3D surface digital model that reflects the true shape of the object under load F. This model is stored for comparative analysis with the aforementioned initial 3D surface digital model.
[0060] After obtaining the digital model of the deformable 3D surface, the final step is to calculate the full-field displacement and perform stiffness analysis. This step is automatically executed by the full-field deformation analysis module d, requiring no manual intervention.
[0061] The full-field deformation analysis module d first invokes the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm to register and compare the stored initial 3D surface digital model with the deformed 3D surface digital model. Specifically, this module tracks and matches the positional changes of tens of thousands of identical computational subdomains (i.e., speckle feature regions) in the two models within the 3D spatial coordinate system, calculating the 3D displacement vector of each computational subdomain, thereby generating full-field 3D displacement field data covering the entire analysis surface of the object under test. .
[0062] Full-field three-dimensional displacement field data For a composite displacement field, the relationship is shown in the following equation: ; in: To represent the total three-dimensional displacement vector field covering the surface of the object under test, calculated by comparing two three-dimensional surface digital models before and after loading; This represents the rigid body displacement vector component field generated by the three-dimensional spatial translation, tilting, or torsion of the measured object as a whole in the full-field three-dimensional displacement field data; This is to represent the pure elastic deformation displacement vector component field generated only by the elastic deformation of the measured object itself in the full-field three-dimensional displacement field data after removing the rigid body displacement component.
[0063] To obtain the displacement vector component field of pure elastic deformation The full-field deformation analysis module d further analyzes the full-field three-dimensional displacement field data vector set. Algorithm analysis is performed. Through mathematical methods such as least-squares fitting, the system can accurately solve for the rigid body motion parameters of the measured object as a whole, namely the specific values of three-dimensional spatial translation, tilting, or torsion, thereby obtaining the complete rigid body displacement vector component field. Subsequently, the system uses total displacement field data... Lieutenant General rigid body displacement components By stripping, the displacement vector component field of purely elastic deformation caused by elastic deformation is obtained. .
[0064] Finally, the full-field deformation analysis module d uses the purely elastic deformation displacement vector component field calculated by the above steps. Combining the previously recorded preset load force F applied by loading and clamping module a, the stiffness characteristic value k of the measured object is finally calculated according to the following stiffness definition formula: ; in: This represents the final calculated stiffness characteristic value of the measured object; This represents the force value of the preset load applied to the object under test by the loading and clamping module a; To represent the displacement vector component field from purely elastic deformation Extracted from, under load The effective elastic deformation displacement scalar value in the direction of action (e.g., the modulus of the elastic displacement component at the loading point).
[0065] Calculated stiffness characteristic values This is the final result of this test, and it will be output and recorded by the system.
[0066] The core measurement principle of this invention is based on the 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC) method. Its foundation lies in the simultaneous capture of a pre-prepared random speckle pattern on the surface of the object being measured using a binocular stereo vision system (camera device 22). The images acquired by the left and right cameras are then stereo matched using the full-field deformation analysis module d to reconstruct the 3D coordinate point cloud of the object's surface. By comparing the 3D coordinate point clouds before and after loading, the surface displacement field can be calculated.
[0067] In traditional fixed 3D-DIC applications, the camera device 22 remains in a fixed position and can only acquire local surface 3D information within its field of view. The shape and deformation of the back, sides, or occluded areas of the object under test cannot be measured. This incomplete surface data limits the analysis of complex spatial motions of the object under test, especially when accurately separating rigid body displacement from elastic deformation, as insufficient data can introduce calculation errors.
[0068] The technical solution of this embodiment provides a solution to this problem by configuring the linked scanning image acquisition module b. The collaborative control module c drives the circular path moving component and the lifting path component, causing the camera device 22 to perform a composite movement around the object under test along a preset path. This process enables the camera device 22 to acquire image sequences of the object under test from multiple different spatial perspectives.
[0069] The full-field deformation analysis module d receives and processes image sequences from all different viewpoints. Using a 3D reconstruction algorithm, it registers and fuses multiple 3D point cloud data acquired from various local viewpoints into a unified global coordinate system, ultimately generating a panoramic 3D surface digital model covering the entire analysis surface of the object under test. This process is executed under both zero-load and loaded conditions, thus obtaining two complete panoramic 3D surface digital models: the initial model and the deformed model.
[0070] Obtaining a complete panoramic 3D surface digital model is essential for accurately separating rigid body displacement components. The technical prerequisite is that the motion of a rigid body in three-dimensional space has six degrees of freedom—three translational components and three rotational components. Accurately solving for these six parameters depends on a global observation of the displacement distribution across the entire surface of the object. Displacement field data covering the entire surface provides sufficient data redundancy and geometric constraints for algorithms such as least-squares fitting, enabling them to robustly and accurately calculate the overall rigid body displacement without bias or error in the solution due to the partiality of local data.
[0071] Therefore, this solution acquires panoramic data through linked scanning, elevating the measurement from a local surface to the entire surface, thus paving the way for subsequent acquisition of full-field three-dimensional displacement field data. Accurate separation of rigid body displacement components It provides complete and necessary data input, which is essential for ultimately obtaining the displacement vector component field of purely elastic deformation. And calculate the true stiffness characteristic value. The fundamental technological guarantee.
[0072] The algorithm principle for separating rigid body displacements in this embodiment of the invention will be explained below. This algorithm is executed by the full-field deformation analysis module d, and its purpose is to separate the calculated full-field three-dimensional displacement field data... In this process, the rigid body displacement components are accurately solved and extracted. .
[0073] The algorithm is based on the following mathematical model: the motion of any rigid body in three-dimensional space can be decomposed into a combination of rotational and translational motions. Therefore, for any point on the surface of the object being measured, its spatial position after undergoing pure rigid body motion can be accurately described by a rotation matrix and a translation vector.
[0074] Specifically, let the first part of the initial three-dimensional surface digital model participating in the calculation be... The coordinate vectors of the feature points are Its corresponding point coordinate vector in the deformable three-dimensional surface digital model is The goal of the full-field deformation analysis module d is to find an optimal rotation matrix. Translation vector This allows the initial point cloud after the rotation and translation transformation to achieve the best fit with the deformed point cloud.
[0075] To achieve this goal, the full-field deformation analysis module d constructs and solves a least-squares problem. Specifically, it seeks the optimal rotation matrix. Translation vector To minimize the sum of squared residuals between all corresponding points : ; in: Let this represent the objective function to be minimized, namely the sum of squared residuals; The point index on the 3D model of the surface of the object being measured, from 1 to... ; This represents the total number of points on the surface model involved in the calculation. Let i be the coordinate vector of the i-th feature point in the deformed 3D surface digital model after loading. Let be the coordinate vector of the i-th feature point in the initial three-dimensional surface digital model before loading; It is a 3x3 rotation matrix that describes the rotational motion of the rigid body; It is a 3x1 translation vector that describes the translational motion of the rigid body; Let be the square of the Euclidean norm of the vector.
[0076] By solving the aforementioned least-squares problem using a numerical optimization algorithm, the full-field deformation analysis module d can obtain a uniquely determined optimal rotation matrix. Translation vector These two parameters fully describe the overall rigid body motion of the object under test during the test.
[0077] In obtaining and Then, for any point on the surface Its rigid body displacement vector components It can be calculated precisely: ; Finally, the full-field deformation analysis module d obtains the total displacement vector at that point. Subtract its rigid body displacement vector components This allows us to obtain the displacement vector components at that point that are purely caused by elastic deformation. This achieves precise separation of displacements. Performing this operation on all points yields the complete vector component field of the purely elastic deformation displacement. .
[0078] Working Principle: First, the radial length adjustment component, dual clamping component, and multi-directional clamping component precisely adapt and securely fix the rotating arm node to be tested. Then, under zero load, the camera device 22 is driven to scan the entire surface of the object under test through the coordinated linkage of the annular path moving component and the lifting path component, acquiring images and establishing an initial three-dimensional surface digital model. Next, a preset load is applied through the first electric push rod 9 or the axial stiffness fixture 36, and while the load is maintained, the camera device 22 is driven again to perform a second full-surface scan along the exact same path, establishing a deformed three-dimensional surface digital model. Finally, the scanning full-field deformation analysis stiffness testing system compares and analyzes the two three-dimensional models before and after loading, calculates the full-field displacement, accurately separates the purely elastic deformation, and calculates the stiffness of the object under test based on the load value.
[0079] During test preparation, the radial length adjustment assembly is first activated, and the first drive motor 14 starts, with its output driving the second gear 27 to rotate. Since the second gear 27 meshes with both first toothed plates 13 simultaneously, its rotation will drive the two first toothed plates 13 and the first fixed blocks 16 fixed on them to move synchronously towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the radial distance between the two first fixed blocks 16 to accommodate test objects of different sizes.
[0080] After dimensional adaptation, the object to be measured is placed in the fixture, and the dual-clamping assembly is activated. The fifth drive assembly 40 is activated, synchronously driving the third gear 41 and the fourth gear 42 to rotate via the connecting rod 43. Since the gears mesh with the third toothed plate 44, the rotation of the gears will drive multiple third toothed plates 44 to slide towards each other, thereby causing the third fixing block 45 to clamp the object to be measured. Multiple anti-slip protrusions 39 on the surface of the third fixing block 45 increase the friction and ensure the stability of the clamping. At the same time, the multi-directional clamping assembly can be activated, and multiple fourth electric push rods 37 extend, driving the arc-shaped block 38 to abut against the object to be measured from multiple directions, providing auxiliary positioning and support.
[0081] After the object under test is fixed, the initial 3D model is established under zero load. The collaborative control module c activates the circular path movement component and the lifting path component. First, the second drive component 23 is activated, driving the first gear 21 to rotate. The first gear 21 meshes with the inner side of the circular gear plate 20, thereby driving the circular gear plate 20 and the outer shell 5 fixed on it to perform a circular motion. At the same time, the third drive motor 26 is activated, driving one of the fixed circular blocks 24 to rotate, and driving the camera device 22 fixed on it to perform a lifting motion inside the outer shell 5 through the belt 25. The combination of the above circular motion and lifting motion enables the camera device 22 to perform a full surface scan of the object under test and acquire images along a preset trajectory.
[0082] When applying load, if a radial stiffness test is to be performed, the first electric actuator 9 is activated, which drives the radial stiffness fixture 17 via the mounting block 18 to apply a constant radial force to the first swing arm node 8. If an axial stiffness test is to be performed, the axial stiffness fixture 36 is activated to apply an axial force to the second swing arm node 11. Throughout the loading process, the load values are accurately recorded.
[0083] Under a stable load, the scanning process described above is repeated. That is, the annular path moving component and the lifting path component are restarted, driving the camera device 22 to perform a second full-surface scan with identical path parameters, acquiring image sequences of the object under deformation. The two sets of image sequences are used to reconstruct two complete three-dimensional surface digital models before and after loading, providing a data basis for subsequent stiffness calculations.
