Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wheel hub bearing design and optimization, specifically relating to a multi-objective bearing optimization design method, system, and storage medium for improving the radial stiffness, roller-flange PV value, and bearing fatigue life of wheel hub bearings. Technical Background

[0002] Wheel bearings are core load-bearing components of automotive chassis systems, located between the steering knuckle and the wheel hub. They bear the critical tasks of transmitting vehicle weight, withstanding complex alternating loads (including radial force, axial force, and bending moment), and providing precise guidance for wheel rotation. With the popularization of new energy vehicles and the deepening of lightweight automotive design, modern automobiles have placed unprecedentedly stringent requirements on the comprehensive performance of wheel bearings. Specifically, high radial stiffness is fundamental to ensuring vehicle handling stability and steering precision, directly affecting the driver's "road feel" and the overall NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance of the vehicle. The contact stress level between the rollers and the flanges directly relates to the internal friction state and temperature distribution of the bearing; excessive contact stress is a major cause of flange wear, galling, and even premature bearing failure. The fatigue life of the bearing directly determines the product's reliability and maintenance costs, and is a core indicator for measuring its service durability. Therefore, how to simultaneously improve these three performance aspects during the design phase has become a core challenge in the field of wheel bearing design.

[0003] In traditional wheel hub bearing design practice, engineers typically rely on empirical formulas, standard manuals, and analogies to determine the main structural parameters of the bearing, such as rolling element diameter, pitch circle diameter, and contact angle. However, this traditional design method has significant limitations: First, there are often contradictory relationships between various performance indicators. For example, simply increasing the rolling element diameter to improve radial stiffness may alter the geometry of the contact area between the roller end face and the flange, leading to an abnormal increase in contact stress. Second, existing numerical simulation-aided design methods face a trade-off between efficiency and accuracy. While finite element analysis can accurately assess stiffness and stress distribution under given structural parameters, simulation experiments require enormous computational resources and time to handle multi-parameter design spaces. Finally, most existing publicly available technical solutions involve single-objective optimization or optimize ball bearings or single-row tapered roller bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-objective optimization design method, system, and storage medium for double-row tapered roller hub bearing structures, which solves the problem of difficulty in determining an optimal variable value due to the contradictory relationships between variables in traditional double-row tapered roller hub bearing design practice, and reduces the time spent evaluating the internal load and stress of the bearing.

[0009] Based on the obtained bearing mechanical model, the contact load between each roller and the baffle is solved, and the roller-baffle contact stress P is obtained according to Hertz point contact theory. Multiplying it by the relative sliding speed V between the roller and the baffle, the roller-baffle PV value is obtained.

[0089] Step 2: Using the obtained bearing mechanical model, solve for the load and deformation of a single roller. By summing the stiffness of the rollers in a single row bearing in parallel, obtain the overall stiffness of the single row bearing. Then, sum the stiffness of the two rows of bearings in parallel to obtain the stiffness of the entire double-row tapered roller bearing.

[0090] Step 3: Based on the obtained bearing mechanical model, solve for the contact load between each roller and the baffle, and then obtain the roller-baffle contact stress P according to Hertz point contact theory. Multiply the roller-baffle relative sliding speed V to obtain the roller-baffle PV value.

[0091] Step 4: Based on the obtained bearing mechanical model, solve for the contact load and equivalent load between each roller and raceway. Then, based on the bearing's structural parameters, calculate the bearing's rated load. Finally, calculate the bearing's fatigue life based on the equivalent load and rated load.

[0092] Step 5: Based on the obtained bearing radial stiffness, roller-flange PV value and bearing fatigue life, the NSGA-II algorithm is used to optimize the bearing with the pitch circle diameter, average roller diameter, outer ring contact angle, center distance between the two rows of bearings, and roller half-cone angle as variables. Finally, an optimal variable is determined to maximize the bearing stiffness, minimize the roller-flange PV value, and maximize the bearing fatigue life.

[0093] The construction of the mechanical model for wheel hub bearings includes: Figure 1 As shown, under radial load F r Axial load F a Under the action of bending moment load M, the j-th roller of the m-th bearing generates a contact load Q with the outer ring. emj Contact load Q is generated with the inner ring. imj The contact load Q generated with the inner ring large flange fmj α e α i α fThese are the contact angles between the roller and the outer raceway, the inner raceway, and the inner raceway flange, respectively.

[0094] Based on geometric relationships, Q emj The components in the radial and axial directions are:

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] In the formula ϕ j κ represents the azimuth angle of the j-th roller from the first roller, and m is the column where the roller is located. When m=1, κ=1; when m=2, κ=-1.

[0098] Under external load, the resisting moment about the bearing center generated by the roller contact load can be determined by equation (3):

[0099]

[0100] In the formula d c d is the center distance between the two rows of bearings. m For the bearing pitch circle diameter, such as Figure 2 As shown.

[0101] By treating the roller-inner ring as an isolated body for mechanical analysis, when considering the balance of the bearing system, it is only necessary to consider the Q of each roller. emj By superimposing the radial and axial components of the force and considering the balance of force and torque, the mechanical equilibrium equation of the bearing can be obtained as follows:

[0102]

[0103] In the formula, Z represents the number of rollers in each row of bearings.

[0104] Under external load, treating the roller-inner ring as a separate body in the mechanical analysis, and considering the outer rings of the two rows of bearings as a single unit and the two inner rings as another single unit, then under external load, the inner ring has a radial displacement δ relative to the outer ring. r axial displacement δ a Angle θ.

[0105] At this time, the j-th roller in the m-th column is radially displaced by δ from the inner ring. r The resulting radial displacement δ mrj for:

[0106]

[0107] The j-th roller in column m is radially displaced by δ from the inner ring. a The resulting axial displacement δ maj for:

[0108]

[0109] Since the relative rotation angle between the inner and outer rings produced by θ at the j-th roller in the m-th column is:

[0110]

[0111] Therefore, the radial and axial displacements generated by the angular displacement θ at the j-th roller in the m-th column are:

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] Generally, a certain axial preload is applied to the bearing, and the displacement of the roller under the action of the preload can be calculated by equation (10).

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, F0 is the magnitude of the axial preload, and K ne The contact coefficient is denoted as .

[0117]

[0118] In summary, the total normal contact deformation at the bearing roller-raceway contact point is:

[0119]

[0120] According to Hertzian line contact theory, the roller normal contact load can be obtained as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Equation (4) is based on δ r δ a For a system of nonlinear equations with θ as an unknown, the solution can be obtained using an iterative method. The solution process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0123] The optimization objective function includes: selecting the bearing fatigue life L. 10 PV value and radial stiffness K of the inner ring large flange rTo optimize the objective function.

[0124] 1. According to the LP lifetime calculation formula:

[0125]

[0126] In the formula Q c The rated dynamic load of the raceway is related to the bearing geometry; Q e The equivalent loads of the inner and outer rings are related to the external load.

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, the upper symbol is used for the inner raceway, and the lower symbol is used for the outer raceway; λ is the coefficient caused by roller edge load and eccentric load, with a value of 0.7; α is the contact angle, and α is the outer raceway angle. e The inner raceway is α i .

[0129]

[0130] For the equivalent load Q of the inner ring eu :

[0131]

[0132] In the formula Q imj ε is the contact load between the j-th roller in column m and the inner raceway. ε is a coefficient related to the rotational state of the bearing ring relative to the external load, which is 4 for the rotating ring (inner ring) and 4.5 for the stationary ring (outer ring).

[0133] From equations (14), (15), and (17), the fatigue life of the inner ring can be obtained as follows:

[0134]

[0135] Similarly, the equivalent dynamic load and fatigue life of the outer ring can be obtained as follows:

[0136]

[0137]

[0138] The overall fatigue life of a double-row tapered roller bearing is:

[0139]

[0140] In the formula Lu1 L u2 L represents the lifespan of the inner and outer raceways on the left column. v1 L v2 For the life of the inner and outer raceways of the right column, b m The correction factor is set to 1.11.

[0141] 2. The PV value of the flange reflects the degree of risk of scuffing between the large flange of the bearing inner ring and the end face of the roller.

[0142] The evaluation index is the value obtained by multiplying the contact stress by the sliding speed V.

[0143] The geometric relationship between the inner ring large flange and the large end face of the tapered roller is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. In Figure 4 In the diagram, point D is the contact point, point C is the intersection of the flange and the raceway generatrix, the oil groove length along the flange is CM, O1 is the center of the roller ball base surface, O is the vertex of the bearing outer ring end face, O1D is perpendicular to CD, SR is the radius of the roller ball base surface, d2 is the diameter of the inner ring large flange, and d... i D is the maximum diameter of the inner raceway. w1 The diameter of the large end of the roller.

[0144] Depend on Figure 4 The location of the contact point can be obtained from the geometric relationships in the diagram:

[0145]

[0146] The contact stress P between the inner ring large flange and the roller end face can be calculated by equation (23):

[0147]

[0148] In the formula, a and b are the half-length and half-width of the contact ellipse, respectively.

[0149] The relative sliding speed is calculated using equation (24):

[0150]

[0151] The PV value of the roller-edge guard is:

[0152]

[0153] 3. The radial stiffness of a bearing is defined as:

[0154]

[0155] The radial stiffness of the single-row bearing can be obtained by summing the radial stiffnesses of the rollers in parallel. The radial stiffness of the entire double-row tapered roller bearing can be obtained by summing the radial stiffnesses of the two rows of bearings in parallel. Combining equations (4), (12), and (26), the formula for calculating the radial stiffness of the bearing is as follows:

[0156]

[0157] Among them, the constraints include: when designing wheel hub bearings, certain constraints are usually imposed on the design variables due to considerations such as ring strength, cage strength, operational flexibility and geometric constraints.

[0158] The bearing pitch circle diameter should meet the following requirements:

[0159]

[0160]

[0161] In the formula, e is the shift parameter, which is taken as 0.07 in this paper.

[0162] The average diameter of the rollers should meet the following requirements:

[0163]

[0164]

[0165] In the formula: , σ max The maximum contact stress that the material can withstand.

[0166] Overall constraints are satisfied:

[0167]

[0168]

[0169]

[0170] The PV value needs to meet the constraints of grease lubrication:

[0171]

[0172] To ensure that the deformation at the contact point between the inner ring flange and the large end face of the roller does not exceed the oil groove, the following conditions must be met:

[0173]

[0174] To ensure that the contact point between the inner ring large flange and the large end face of the roller is in a reasonable position, the following must be met:

[0175]

[0176] To ensure that the optimized bearing meets the requirements of low carbon emissions and energy conservation, a constraint is added to the friction torque of the optimized bearing to ensure that the friction torque of the optimized bearing is less than that of the unoptimized bearing. The Palmgren friction torque calculation model is used, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0177]

[0178]

[0179]

[0180]

[0181] In equations (38)-(41), M′ is the total frictional torque; M1 is the bearing load frictional torque; M v F is the bearing viscous friction torque; f1 is a coefficient related to bearing type and load; F β X is the equivalent dynamic load; Y is the radial load factor and axial load factor, which can be selected from the bearing manual; f0 is a coefficient related to the bearing type and lubrication method; v is the kinematic viscosity of the lubricant; and n is the bearing speed.

[0182] The implementation of the algorithm includes:

[0183] Figure 5 The flowchart shows the multi-objective algorithm for wheel hub bearings. Due to the numerous constraints, a population that satisfies the constraints is randomly generated during the initialization phase to increase optimization efficiency.

[0184] For the NSGA-II algorithm, the population size, number of iterations, mutation probability, and crossover probability all affect the distribution of the Pareto front solution set. After continuous debugging, the population size was finally set to 200, the maximum number of iterations to 100, the crossover probability to 0.9, and the mutation probability to 0.1. The Pareto front solution set obtained is evaluated using Equation (42) to find an optimal solution.

[0185]

[0186] In the formula L 10 ′、PV′、K r ′ represents the data before optimization, L 10 PV, K r To optimize the data, ϖ1, ϖ2, and ϖ3 are weights applied, prioritizing fatigue life, then PV value, and finally stiffness. Therefore, ϖ1=0.5, ϖ2=0.4, and ϖ3=0.1.

[0187] The above calculation process will be implemented using MATLAB programming. To verify the effectiveness of this design optimization method, this invention provides a calculation example.
