Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent control device for automobiles, specifically to a real-time multi-dimensional force measurement device for wheels. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the early stages of automotive development, chassis engineers typically use multi-dimensional force sensors to collect wheel loads. This data is then used for structural design of chassis components to achieve reliability and lightweight design goals. A multi-dimensional force sensor is a force sensor capable of simultaneously measuring force and torque components in two or more directions. In a Cartesian coordinate system, force and torque can each be decomposed into three components. Therefore, the most complete form of multi-dimensional force is a six-dimensional force / torque sensor, which can simultaneously measure three force components and three torque components. Widely used multi-dimensional force sensors are of this six-component force sensor type.

[0003] With the development of vehicle intelligence and vehicle domain control technology, real-time multi-dimensional wheel forces resulting from the interaction between the wheel and the road surface are crucial for wheel hub bearing health status diagnosis, wheel health status diagnosis, vehicle motion control, intelligent driving motion control, intelligent cockpit active noise reduction control, and cloud control model calculation.

[0004] Wheel multidimensional forces refer to the forces exerted by the interaction between the wheel and the road surface. For example... Figure 1 As shown, according to the vehicle engineering definition, the vehicle's forward and backward motion direction is defined as the X-axis, the vehicle's lateral motion direction is defined as the Y-axis, and the vehicle's vertical motion direction is defined as the Z-axis; then the multidimensional forces of the wheel include the force 61 (Fx) in the forward and backward motion direction of the wheel, the force 62 (Fy) in the lateral motion direction of the wheel, the force 63 (Fz) in the vertical motion direction of the wheel, the torque 64 (Mx) of the wheel rotating around the X-axis, the torque 65 (My) of the wheel rotating around the Y-axis, and the torque 66 (Mz) of the wheel rotating around the Z-axis.

[0005] Chinese invention patent document CN111380649A discloses a multi-dimensional force sensor for automobile wheels (WheelForce Transducer), which adopts a spoke-type structure and an elastic body directly connected to the wheel. The spokes of the sensor rotate with the wheel, and the various loads on the wheel cause the elastic beam to undergo tensile, compressive, torsional, and bending deformations. By selecting measurement points and arranging strain gauges and bridges, the output of each bridge circuit directly corresponds to the load in each dimension, thereby realizing the measurement of multi-dimensional forces.

[0006] This type of multi-dimensional force sensor can only be used for test-grade wheels and cannot perform real-time measurements throughout the entire life cycle of a vehicle. In particular, it cannot meet the requirements for mass installation, styling, and cost in complete vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0016] In another embodiment, the inner ring of the multi-dimensional force sensor 41 is in interference fit with the outer ring of the hub bearing.

[0017] In another embodiment, the multi-dimensional force sensor 41 is arranged at one end of the outer ring 31 of the hub bearing.

[0018] In another embodiment, the multi-dimensional force sensor 41 is arranged at both ends of the outer ring 31 of the hub bearing.
