[0002] NVH is the English abbreviation of Noise, Vibration, and Harshness; as Figure 1 shown, the existing structure of the four-wheel drive transmission system mainly includes a transfer case assembly 1, a drive shaft 2, a middle bracket 3, and a rear differential assembly 4. The power input end of the transfer case assembly 1 is directly connected to the output shaft of the transmission or through a universal transmission device. The power output end 1B of the transfer case assembly 1 is connected to a drive shaft 2. The power input end 4A of the rear differential assembly 4 is connected to a drive shaft 2. The power output end 4B of the rear differential assembly 4 is connected to the left and right rear output shafts. The two drive shafts 2 are connected through a universal coupling. The drive shaft 2 is supported by a middle bracket 3, and one side of the middle bracket 3 is connected to the vehicle body. During the development of automotive NVH, when it comes to the four-wheel drive system, common problems include abnormal vibration of the floor and booming noise inside the vehicle during high-speed driving.

The host computer is respectively connected to the testing module and the data acquisition module. The testing module is used to connect to the transmission assembly to be tested and provide the working speed and working torque required for testing the transmission assembly to be tested according to the testing control instruction of the host computer. The host computer analyzes the vibration acceleration signal, sound pressure signal, and rotation speed signal generated by the transmission assembly to be tested during testing in the testing module collected by the acquisition module, and judges whether the tested transmission assembly is qualified according to the analysis result. However, the technical solution of this document does not disclose the specific installation positions of the sensors in the data acquisition module, and cannot accurately and timely detect the corresponding vibration sources, resulting in low diagnostic efficiency.
