Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive noise control technology, and in particular to in-vehicle noise control methods, devices and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry and the increasing demands of users for driving comfort, in-vehicle noise (NVH) performance has become one of the key indicators for evaluating vehicle quality. Especially for commercial vehicles, excessive in-vehicle noise not only seriously affects driving comfort but also interferes with speech clarity. Therefore, accurately predicting and controlling in-vehicle noise in the early stages of vehicle development is of great significance for enhancing product market competitiveness. Currently, the development of in-vehicle noise control for commercial vehicles mainly relies on physical prototype testing. In the traditional "design-prototype-testing-improvement" development process, companies typically need to manufacture multiple prototypes, obtain in-vehicle noise data through field testing, and optimize the structure based on the test results. However, this method has significant shortcomings: First, the development cycle is long, with prototype manufacturing and test preparation often taking several months, which cannot meet the needs of rapid iteration in modern automobiles; second, the cost is high, with each prototype manufacturing and test representing a huge financial investment, especially for commercial vehicles with complex structures and high modification difficulty; third, problems are often discovered late in the testing phase, leaving little room for design modifications and leading to a surge in rectification costs.

[0003] The patent document discloses a fixed-position vehicle interior noise modeling and test benchmarking method based on energy statistics. The simulation modeling method is simplified by using the engine sound power as the excitation input, reducing the number of microphones required, establishing the relationship between the engine sound power and the interior noise under the whole vehicle condition, and benchmarking the sound transfer function from the outside to the inside of the vehicle through experiments and simulations. The modeling is refined by considering the sound cavity between the inner panel and the sheet metal, and setting the equivalent leakage area for the actual leakage location, improving the accuracy to 2 dB. It can balance modeling efficiency and high simulation accuracy, shorten the development cycle and reduce costs. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0057] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an in-vehicle noise prediction method provided in one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also... Figure 1 The in-vehicle noise prediction method includes the following steps:

[0058] S11 obtains engine sound excitation through sound power testing of the engine in a semi-anechoic chamber under full vehicle conditions.

[0059] S12, based on VAone, completes the modeling of the SEA subsystem and acoustic cavity of the commercial vehicle cab, establishes a separate external acoustic cavity, improves the connection and establishes a semi-infinite fluid simulation semi-anechoic chamber environment, and assigns material, thickness and acoustic wrapping to the body panels.

[0060] S13, calculate the sound transmission function from outside the vehicle to inside the vehicle through the model, and at the same time test the sound transmission function of the anechoic chamber and the driver's cab. Compare the test and simulation results, correct the modeling method of the inner protective plate, refine the internal structure of the driver's cab, and establish the equivalent leakage through airtightness test.

[0061] S14. Based on the modified model, the in-vehicle sound pressure level under different engine speeds is calculated and compared with the vehicle test results to verify the model accuracy.

[0062] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, it is first necessary to obtain the acoustic excitation of the engine. The method for obtaining the engine acoustic excitation is through acoustic power testing.

[0063] The sound power test in this embodiment is a sound power test of the engine in the whole vehicle state. Moreover, the above-mentioned sound power test is carried out in a semi-anechoic chamber.

[0064] After the above sound power test, the sound excitation of the engine was obtained.

[0065] In the process of acquiring acoustic excitation described above, it is also necessary to obtain a series of key parameters in the prediction process. These key parameters include: sound absorption coefficient and flow resistance. Typically, these key parameters are obtained through transmission loss bench testing.

[0066] Next, using VA one software, we completed the modeling of the SEA subsystem and acoustic cavity of the commercial vehicle cab.

[0067] It should be understood that the above modeling operations yield the SEA subsystem model of the commercial vehicle cab, as well as the acoustic cavity model.

[0068] Furthermore, through the above modeling operations, an independent external acoustic cavity can be established.

[0069] After completing the modeling of the SEA subsystem and acoustic cavity, the next step is to complete the connection of the semi-infinite fluid. This connection is necessary to simulate the semi-anechoic chamber environment.

[0070] Furthermore, the above modeling operations also require assigning materials, thickness, and acoustic properties to the vehicle body.

[0071] After completing the above modeling operations, the acoustic transfer function from outside the vehicle to inside the vehicle can be calculated using the completed model.

[0072] In addition, while calculating the acoustic transmission function from outside the vehicle to inside the vehicle, the acoustic transmission function test of the anechoic chamber and driver's cab is carried out simultaneously.

[0073] After completing the above acoustic transmission function test, the experimental results are compared with the simulation results, and the modeling method is further modified and optimized based on the comparison results.

[0074] The main changes are to the modeling method for interior trim panels, which has been changed from creating interior trim panels using an acoustic package mode to using separate materials, as well as more detailed modeling, including the roof rack, metal panels dividing the rear sleeper berth, etc.

[0075] In addition to revising and optimizing the modeling method, it is also necessary to conduct airtightness tests on the vehicle body to establish the equivalent leakage of the vehicle body.

[0076] After the aforementioned corrections, the SEA model should be more accurate and better reflect the actual acoustic parameters of the vehicle body compared to its initial state. Therefore, the corrected SEA model can be used to calculate the in-vehicle sound pressure level.

[0077] It is important to note that the calculation of the in-vehicle sound pressure level needs to be performed separately for different engine speeds. This is mainly because the calculated sound pressure level results need to be compared with the experimental results under different test conditions to improve the accuracy of the modeling. In other words, the modeling accuracy of the vehicle body SEA model needs to be verified under different engine speeds.

[0078] After the above series of operations, an accurate cab SEA model is obtained. The vehicle body SEA model established in this way can accurately calculate the in-vehicle sound pressure level under stationary conditions and establish an accurate correspondence between engine sound power and in-vehicle noise.

[0079] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the acquisition operation in the in-vehicle noise prediction method provided in one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also Figure 2 Engine acoustic excitation was obtained through acoustic power testing of the engine in a semi-anechoic chamber under full vehicle conditions, including:

[0080] S21, in a semi-anechoic chamber environment, the engine sound power is obtained by the nine-point method.

[0081] S22 obtains key parameters such as sound absorption coefficient and flow resistance through loss transmission bench testing.

[0082] This embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, focuses on describing the process of obtaining engine sound excitation.

[0083] The process of obtaining engine sound power uses the nine-point method, and this nine-point method is performed in a semi-anechoic chamber environment.

[0084] In addition to obtaining the engine sound power, it is also necessary to obtain some key parameters. These key parameters include: sound absorption coefficient and flow resistance.

[0085] It should be noted that the operating conditions for obtaining engine sound power include multiple speed conditions from engine idle speed to rated speed.

[0086] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the setup operation in the in-vehicle noise prediction method provided in one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also Figure 3 Based on VAone, the SEA subsystem and acoustic cavity modeling of the commercial vehicle cab were completed, a separate external acoustic cavity was established, connections were perfected and a semi-infinite fluid was established to simulate a semi-anechoic chamber environment, and the body panel materials, thicknesses, and acoustic enclosures were assigned, including:

[0087] S31, based on VAone, complete the modeling of the cab SEA subsystem, set the model material and thickness, and create a new acoustic package material in the software based on the obtained parameters such as flow resistance. The material is assigned to the corresponding subsystem according to the actual thickness and coverage area, and the in-vehicle acoustic cavity is refined and established, and a separate external acoustic cavity is established.

[0088] S32, semi-infinite fluid is created on the top of the cab, front, back, left and right, to simulate a semi-anechoic chamber environment.

[0089] This embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, focuses on illustrating the process of establishing the SEA model.

[0090] In this embodiment, the SEA model building process uses VA one software. That is, VA one software is used to perform SEA subsystem modeling operations.

[0091] Within the VA One software, set the model materials and thickness.

[0092] Next, based on the flow resistance parameters obtained in the acoustic excitation acquisition step, a new acoustic package material is created in VA One software. After creating the acoustic package material, it is assigned to the corresponding subsystem according to the actual thickness and coverage area, and then further refined to establish an in-vehicle acoustic cavity model.

[0093] Furthermore, a separate external acoustic cavity model needs to be established.

[0094] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the correction operation in the in-vehicle noise prediction method provided by one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also Figure 4The sound transfer function from outside the vehicle to inside was calculated using a model, and the sound transfer function of the anechoic chamber cab was tested simultaneously. The experimental and simulation results were compared to refine the modeling method of the inner lining panel, detail the internal structure of the cab, and establish an equivalent leakage through airtightness testing, including:

[0095] S41, add 1W of sound power to the right ear cavity of the driver in the cab, calculate the sound pressure level response of the acoustic cavity at the bottom of the cab, and obtain the acoustic transfer function of the simulated cab.

[0096] S42, a sound source is placed to excite the driver's right ear, and a microphone is placed on the engine to measure the ratio of the sound pressure at the frequency response point under this excitation to the volume acceleration at the center of the sound source. The sound pressure level is obtained by converting the result using a formula.

[0097] S43, experimental simulation of transfer function comparison.

[0098] This embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, focuses on describing the detailed operation of the model correction process.

[0099] Specifically, this embodiment focuses on the process of obtaining the basic parameters for model correction. In this embodiment, the basic parameters mainly refer to the sound pressure level transfer function ratio.

[0100] Specifically, the simulated transfer function ratio is first calculated using simulation. Then, the experimental transfer function ratio is calculated using experiments. Finally, the simulated and experimental transfer function ratios are compared to obtain the comparison results.

[0101] Specifically, the calculation process of the simulated transfer function ratio is as follows: 1W of sound power is added to the right ear cavity of the driver in the cab, the sound pressure level response of the cavity at the bottom of the cab is calculated, and the simulated cab sound transfer function is obtained.

[0102] The calculation process of the experimental transfer function ratio is as follows: a sound source is placed to the right ear of the test driver for excitation, and a microphone is placed on the engine to measure the ratio of the sound pressure at the response point in the frequency domain under this excitation to the volume acceleration at the center of the sound source. The sound pressure level is obtained by conversion using a formula.

[0103] After calculating the simulated transfer ratio and the experimental transfer ratio respectively, the two calculation results were compared to obtain the basic parameters of the correction process.

[0104] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the correction operation in the in-vehicle noise prediction method provided by one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also Figure 5 The sound transfer function from outside the vehicle to inside was calculated using a model, and the sound transfer function of the anechoic chamber cab was tested simultaneously. The experimental and simulation results were compared to refine the modeling method of the inner lining panel, detail the internal structure of the cab, and establish an equivalent leakage through airtightness testing, including:

[0105] S51, add 1W of sound power to the right ear cavity of the driver in the cab, calculate the sound pressure level response of the bottom cavity of the cab, and obtain the sound transfer function of the simulated cab.

[0106] S52, a sound source is placed to excite the driver's right ear, and a microphone is placed on the engine to measure the ratio of the sound pressure at the frequency response point under this excitation to the volume acceleration at the center of the sound source. The sound pressure level is obtained by converting the result using a formula.

[0109] S55. Establish a model of the SEA subsystem of the metal structure of the sleeper berth and overhead luggage rack, considering its segmentation and coupling of the acoustic cavity.

[0110] S56, the test method obtains the leakage amount in the cab, converts it into an equivalent leakage area, and sets leakage points in key locations such as doors, glass, pressure relief vents, air conditioning, and steering column.

[0111] This embodiment, based on the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, uses the basic parameters obtained from the process described in the foregoing embodiments to modify the established SEA model.

[0112] The correction process begins with establishing the inner lining SEA subsystem and considering the acoustic cavity between the inner lining and the sheet metal.

[0113] Next, a subsystem model of the SEA (Self-Effect Acoustic Aspect) of the sleeper berth and overhead luggage rack metal structures is established. This model is primarily designed to account for the segmentation and coupling effects of the metal structures on the acoustic cavity.

[0114] Finally, the leakage amount in the cab was obtained through experiments. The cab leakage amount obtained from the experiments was then converted into an equivalent leakage area, and leakage was simulated at some key locations such as doors, windows, pressure relief vents, air conditioning, and steering column.

[0115] Through the series of operations described above, the correction of the SEA model is completed, resulting in a more accurate and realistic vehicle body SEA model.

[0116] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the calculation operations in the in-vehicle noise prediction method provided in one or more embodiments of the present invention. See also Figure 6 Based on the corrected model, the in-vehicle sound pressure level at different engine speeds was calculated and compared with the results of whole-vehicle tests to verify the model's accuracy, including:

[0117] S61 applies engine excitation to the external acoustic cavity to calculate the driver's right ear acoustic cavity response at 400-8000Hz under rated idle speed.

[0118] S62, a microphone for the driver's right ear was placed in a semi-anechoic chamber environment. With the engine running stably, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the driver's right ear was measured.

[0119] S63, comparing simulation and experimental results.

[0120] Similar to the aforementioned correction process, the model verification stage also involves comparing the simulation results with the experimental results to verify the model's accuracy.

[0121] Specifically, the simulation results were obtained through the following process: the engine excitation was applied to the external acoustic cavity to calculate the driver's right ear acoustic cavity response at 400-8000Hz under the rated idle speed.

[0122] The test results were obtained through the following process: a microphone for the driver's right ear was placed in a semi-anechoic chamber environment, the engine was running stably, and the A-weighted sound pressure level of the driver's right ear was measured.

[0123] The model is considered to meet the accuracy requirements only if the difference between the simulation results and the experimental results is within the set range; otherwise, the established model is considered not to meet the accuracy requirements.
