Description

基于模块化产品族平台的白车身模块设计方法Body-in-white module design method based on modular product family platform

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种在概念设计阶段使用的基于模块化产品族平台的跨级别车型白车身结构模块划分及筛选的方法,属于车身设计技术领域,主要用于在设计初期对同一产品族下全系车型的车身结构进行模块分割及装配方式的设计。The invention relates to a method for dividing and screening body-in-white structure modules of cross-level vehicle models based on a modular product family platform used in the concept design stage, belonging to the technical field of body design, and mainly used for the whole series under the same product family at the initial stage of design. The body structure of the vehicle model is designed for module division and assembly method.

背景技术Background technique

随着科学技术的逐年发展和经济环境的日益成熟,世界级汽车厂商在全球一体化的潮流下,开始采用模块化的研发模式,进而减少生产、制造、维修乃至材料运输的成本,缩短新车型的设计研发周期,同时还能通过定制的方式满足不同消费群体甚至不同消费个体的多样化需求,为企业带来巨大优势。目前,基于模块化技术开发的新型平台甚至已经成为市场上各车型的主要卖点。然而,我国汽车工业的模块化技术起步较晚,模块化设计能力的低下成为了限制我国汽车工业发展的一大瓶颈。With the development of science and technology and the increasingly mature economic environment, world-class automobile manufacturers have begun to adopt a modular R&D model under the trend of global integration, thereby reducing the cost of production, manufacturing, maintenance and even material transportation, and shortening the cost of new models. At the same time, it can meet the diverse needs of different consumer groups and even different consumer individuals through customization, which brings huge advantages to enterprises. At present, the new platform developed based on modular technology has even become the main selling point of various models on the market. However, the modularization technology of my country's automobile industry started late, and the low modular design ability has become a major bottleneck restricting the development of my country's automobile industry.

汽车车身设计可分为概念设计和详细设计两个阶段。其中,概念设计阶段确定整车的布置方案和结构性能,决定了70%的总体成本;而汽车平台战略的优势又在于实现高度的零部件通用性和车身结构可拓展性。因此,基于模块化设计、制造及生产的思想在概念设计阶段就应该引入。Automobile body design can be divided into two stages: conceptual design and detailed design. Among them, the layout plan and structural performance of the whole vehicle are determined in the concept design stage, which determines 70% of the overall cost; and the advantage of the automobile platform strategy lies in the realization of a high degree of commonality of parts and expandability of the body structure. Therefore, ideas based on modular design, manufacturing and production should be introduced in the concept design stage.

发明内容Contents of the invention

本发明在概念设计阶段,综合考虑多项车身性能指标,在发明者之前所提出的发明方法(专利号CN105787221A)的基础上,提出一种基于模块化生产制造方式的白车身结构模块装配设计方法,在保证车身结构各项性能的前提下,对车身进行基于模块制造的装配结构划分,再根据计算优化结果对各模块进行归类和筛选,为设计者提供了一种实现白车身模块化设计的思路。In the conceptual design stage, the present invention comprehensively considers multiple vehicle body performance indicators, and proposes a body-in-white structural module assembly design method based on a modular manufacturing method on the basis of the inventive method (patent number CN105787221A) proposed by the inventor. , under the premise of ensuring the performance of the body structure, the body is divided into assembly structures based on module manufacturing, and then the modules are classified and screened according to the calculation and optimization results, providing designers with a way to realize the modular design of the body-in-white ideas.

本发明的技术方案:Technical scheme of the present invention:

基于模块化产品族平台的白车身模块设计方法,步骤如下:The body-in-white module design method based on the modular product family platform, the steps are as follows:

(1)建立单个车型的优化模型:在提出的发明方法(专利号CN105787221A)的基础上,对同一产品族下每单个车型建立数学模型。为不影响后文叙述,简要说明如下:(1) Establishing an optimization model for a single car model: On the basis of the proposed inventive method (patent number CN105787221A), a mathematical model is established for each car model of the same product family. In order not to affect the following description, a brief description is as follows:

以白车身模型所在坐标系为基准,分别在X方向和Y方向(底板)以及Y方向和Z方向(侧围)取若干点,并依照这些点将白车身分块,即分为若干子板和子梁;以分块后的子部件为节点,子部件之间连接关系为边,建立拓扑关系G=(V,E),其中V={V1,V2,...,Vp,...,VP},E={E1,E2,...,Eq,...,EQ}。式中,{V1,V2,...,Vp,...,VP}代表一组节点,共有P个节点,p为节点编号,{E1,E2,...,Eq,...,EQ}代表一组边,共有Q条边,q为边的编号;定义一组由二进制变量γq组成的对原图G的分割向量γ=(γ1,γ2,...,γq,...,γQ):当γq为0时表示拓扑关系中的边Eq被移除,为1时表示该边保留,则分割向量γ可用来表达一种装配方式;以γ为设计变量,车身刚度、制造成本、装配成本为优化目标进行优化,目标函数分别为:Taking the coordinate system of the body-in-white model as the reference, take several points in the X direction and Y direction (bottom plate) and Y direction and Z direction (side wall), and divide the body-in-white into blocks according to these points, that is, divide it into several sub-boards And the sub-beam; take the divided sub-components as nodes, and the connection relationship between sub-components as edges, establish a topological relationship G=(V, E), where V={V 1 , V 2 ,..., V p , ..., V P }, E={E 1 , E 2 , ..., E q , ..., E Q }. In the formula, {V 1 , V 2 ,..., V p ,..., V P } represent a group of nodes, there are P nodes in total, p is the node number, {E 1 , E 2 ,..., E q ,..., E Q } represent a group of edges, there are Q edges in total, and q is the number of the edge; define a group of segmentation vectors γ=(γ 1 , γ 2 ,...,γ q ,...,γ Q ): When γ q is 0, it means that the edge E q in the topological relationship is removed, and when it is 1, it means that the edge is retained, then the split vector γ can be used to express An assembly method; with γ as the design variable, the body stiffness, manufacturing cost, and assembly cost are optimized as the optimization objectives, and the objective functions are:

F车身刚度=位移(G(V,E(γ)))F body stiffness = displacement (G (V, E (γ)))

式中车身刚度函数F车身刚度用拓扑图G(V,E(γ))对应结构的有限元模型计算结果的最大位移来衡量:位移越大即结构变形越大,则刚度越小;Comp(k,G(V,E(γ)))代表整车结构按照G(V,E(γ))划分后模型中的第k个子部件;模具面积越小,代表该子部件的制造成本F制造成本越低,焊点数量越少,代表结构的装配成本F装配成本越低。则优化模型对应为:In the formula, the body stiffness function F is measured by the maximum displacement of the finite element model calculation results of the structure corresponding to the topology graph G(V, E(γ)): the greater the displacement, the greater the structural deformation, the smaller the stiffness; Comp( k, G(V, E(γ))) represents the kth sub-component in the model after the vehicle structure is divided according to G(V, E(γ)); the smaller the mold area, the manufacturing cost F of the sub-component is represented The lower the cost , the fewer the number of solder joints, and the lower the assembly cost F of the representative structure. Then the optimization model corresponds to:

优化模型为多目标优化问题,优化自变量为一个由0和1组成的二进制向量,不需要特殊的编码过程即可以直接使用遗传算法进行优化计算,迭代种群和迭代代数需经过几次试算后根据收敛情况确定。根据相关研究,对于一般的工程优化问题可设定子代对父代的替换率为50%,交叉概率90%,变异概率10%,并以种群平均适应度函数变化率不超过3%为收敛条件。经过试算,对一般的车型,种群规模为200个,迭代代数为100代即可满足收敛要求。通过优化,可以得到单个车型的最佳装配方式;The optimization model is a multi-objective optimization problem, the optimization independent variable is a binary vector composed of 0 and 1, and the genetic algorithm can be directly used for optimization calculation without special coding process, and the iterative population and iterative algebra need to go through several trial calculations Determined according to convergence. According to relevant research, for general engineering optimization problems, it can be set that the replacement rate of offspring to parent is 50%, the probability of crossover is 90%, and the probability of mutation is 10%, and the average fitness function change rate of the population does not exceed 3% as the convergence condition. After trial calculation, for general car models, the population size is 200, and the iteration algebra is 100 generations, which can meet the convergence requirements. Through optimization, the best assembly method of a single model can be obtained;

(2)在单个车型优化模型的基础上进行保征寻优,实现在产品族内同时考虑多款车型的装配设计。(2) On the basis of the optimization model of a single car model, the search for optimization is carried out, and the assembly design of multiple car models is considered within the product family at the same time.

对每个单车车型都进行装配结构的优化,并对优化结果进行比对。扩大单个车型优化模型中的种群规模,进以保证不同车型在进行并行优化时每代种群中均有足够多的装配结构相同或只有局部不同的个体出现(经过多次试算,种群规模至少应达到单个车型优化模型中的3-4倍)。选取这些个体作为下一次迭代的初始解,直到优化收敛;对于n个车型,分割为m段结构,每段结构由α个子部件构成,则每段装配方式将由(2α-1)个编码决定,即 优化模型为:The assembly structure is optimized for each bicycle model, and the optimization results are compared. Expand the population size in the optimization model of a single car model to ensure that there are enough individuals with the same assembly structure or only partially different individuals in each generation of the population when different models are optimized in parallel (after many trials, the population size should be at least Reach 3-4 times of the optimization model of a single car model). Select these individuals as the initial solution for the next iteration until the optimization converges; for n car models, it is divided into m segment structures, each segment structure is composed of α sub-components, and each segment assembly method will be determined by (2α-1) codes, which is The optimization model is:

式中代表两个车型相应位置的装配方式比对,二者相同时计0,不相同计1,则越小代表装配结构越相近;通过在不同模型的种群之间选取保征解,实现多个模型的基于模块化思想的装配方案设计。In the formula Represents the comparison of the assembly methods of the corresponding positions of the two models. If the two are the same, it is counted as 0, and if they are different, it is counted as 1. Then The smaller the size, the closer the assembly structure is; by selecting the guaranteed solution among the populations of different models, the assembly scheme design based on the idea of modularization of multiple models can be realized.

(3)完成装配设计的车身结构零部件将作为模块并进行归类。本发明方法中,将模块分为以下四类并进行逐步筛选:(3) The body structure components that have completed the assembly design will be classified as modules. In the method of the present invention, module is divided into following four classes and is screened step by step:

参数模块:新车型设计时需要重新设计的模块;Parameter module: a module that needs to be redesigned when designing a new model;

通用模块:可在所有车型之间进行通用的模块;Universal module: a module that can be used universally among all models;

柔性模块:但需要进行局部调整的模块;Flexible modules: modules that require local adjustments;

个性模块:同类车型间通用、不同类车型间不可通用的模块。Personality module: a module that is common among similar models and not common between different types of models.

(4)首先选取个性模块:根据车型类别和车身结构特征,可直接选出个性模块;(4) First select the personality module: according to the vehicle type and the structural characteristics of the body, the personality module can be directly selected;

(5)其次选取参数模块:在以某车型为原型车进行新车型设计时,可在多个位置进行尺寸变动。根据装配结果,选取各模块在重设计方向上的坐标点u=(umin,umax),式中u=x,y,z,umin为对应方向上的最小坐标值,umax为最大坐标值;对于两个相邻的模块R和R+1,如果有uR max>uR+1 min,则该方向上,存在一个可以通过更改模块R和R+1的尺寸来改变整车尺寸的位置。如果uR max=uR+1 min,则可通过仅更改模块R或R+1中的一个来实现整车尺寸的变动。如果有三个模块相邻,并存同时有uR max>uR+1 min,uR+1 max>uR+2 min,uR max>uR+2 min,则对车身结构在相应位置进行尺寸变动时,需要同时改动R,R+1和R+2三个模块;由此,可以找出可以对车身尺寸进行调整的位置及相应需要进行改动的模块。制造新车型时,选取不同的调整位置会增加不同的附加成本,概念设计阶段主要考虑制造成本F制造成本和F装配成本。由于此时的尺寸更改不会太大并可能不确定,因此以车身性能函数F车身刚度作为约束进行校验,要求满足预定义刚度选取附加成本最小的位置作为主要重设计区域,对应需要改动的模块即为参数模块。如果该位置不能满足性能需求,则返回重新选择。则优化模型可表示为:(5) Next, select the parameter module: when designing a new model with a certain model as the prototype, the size can be changed in multiple positions. According to the assembly result, select the coordinate point u=(u min , u max ) of each module in the redesign direction, where u=x, y, z, u min is the minimum coordinate value in the corresponding direction, and u max is the maximum Coordinate value; for two adjacent modules R and R+1, if there is u R max >u R+1 min , then in this direction, there is a vehicle that can be changed by changing the size of modules R and R+1 The location of the size. If u R max =u R+1 min , the variation of the overall vehicle size can be achieved by changing only one of the modules R or R+1. If there are three adjacent modules, u R max >u R+1 min , u R+1 max >u R+2 min , u R max >u R+2 min , the body structure should be checked at the corresponding position When the size is changed, the three modules R, R+1 and R+2 need to be changed at the same time; thus, the positions where the body size can be adjusted and the corresponding modules that need to be changed can be found. When manufacturing a new model, choosing different adjustment positions will increase different additional costs. The concept design stage mainly considers the manufacturing cost F manufacturing cost and F assembly cost . Since the size change at this time will not be too large and may be uncertain, the vehicle body performance function F body stiffness is used as a constraint for verification, and the predefined stiffness is required to be satisfied Select the location with the smallest additional cost as the main redesign area, and the corresponding module that needs to be modified is the parameter module. If the location does not meet performance requirements, go back and reselect. Then the optimization model can be expressed as:

(6)最后选择柔性模块;约束所有未筛选的模块为通用模块,即各设计参数均有t车型1=t车型2=…=t车型n。在当前约束下对各车型进行优化,优化目标为最大化车重模块质量(Comp k)和车身性能F车身刚度。根据设计者需求设定两个优化目标的选择区间及最优解,并与设计要求的进行比对,根据解的情况及ΔSt值释放其t车型1=t车型2=…=t车型n的约束(即设计参数无需再与其他车型内相应参数保持一致):如果某车型的优化结果 且至少有一个=不成立(如果两个=均成立,则已经满足要求),则释放该车型中ΔSt最低的模块所对应的设计参数约束,该模块成为柔性模块;反之,如果某车型的优化结果且至少有一个=不成立,则释放ΔSt最高的模块所对应的设计参数约束,该模块成为柔性模块。更改约束后,进入下一轮迭代,直到所有车型满足设计要求,余下未被选择的模块即为通用模块,最终完成全部种类模块的筛选。(6) Finally select the flexible module; constrain all unscreened modules to be general modules, that is, each design parameter has t model 1 = t model 2 =...= t model n . Under the current constraints, each vehicle model is optimized, and the optimization goal is to maximize the vehicle weight Module mass (Comp k) and body performance F body stiffness . According to the designer's needs, the selection range and optimal solution of the two optimization goals are set, and they are consistent with the design requirements. and Carry out a comparison, and release the constraints of t model 1 = t model 2 =...= t model n according to the solution situation and ΔS t value (that is, the design parameters do not need to be consistent with the corresponding parameters in other models): if the optimization of a certain model result And at least one = is not established (if both = are established, the requirements have been met), then release the design parameter constraints corresponding to the module with the lowest ΔS t in this model, and this module becomes a flexible module; on the contrary, if the optimization of a certain model result And if at least one = is not established, the design parameter constraint corresponding to the module with the highest ΔS t is released, and this module becomes a flexible module. After changing the constraints, enter the next round of iteration until all models meet the design requirements, and the remaining unselected modules are general modules, and finally complete the screening of all types of modules.

本发明由于采取以上技术方案,具有以下优点:1、本发明基于车身性能、装配和制造成本对白车身结构进行了装配结构的划分,同时考虑了基于模块共享的跨级别车型的装配结构划分情况,实现了基于模块化平台的产品族设计;2、对装配结构的划分结果进行了模块的归类和筛选,进一步确定并提高了车身零部件的共享情况;3、本发明相比于灵敏度方法,不再受限于参数伸缩型产品族设计,而是进一步实现了标准化互换模块的模块配置型产品族设计,更适用于各汽车企业现行的生产制造模式。Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention divides the assembly structure of the body-in-white structure based on the body performance, assembly and manufacturing costs, and simultaneously considers the division of the assembly structure of cross-level vehicle models based on module sharing, The product family design based on the modular platform is realized; 2. The division result of the assembly structure is classified and screened by modules, and the sharing of body parts is further determined and improved; 3. Compared with the sensitivity method, the present invention, It is no longer limited to parameter-flexible product family design, but further realizes the modular configuration product family design of standardized interchangeable modules, which is more suitable for the current production and manufacturing models of various automobile companies.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面结合附图和技术方案,进一步说明本发明进行详细的描述。The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and technical solutions.

如图1所示分别为同一产品族内的三厢(图1a)、两厢(图1b)及SUV(图1c)三款车型,其中三厢车型和两厢车型的轴距相当,SUV车型相比另两款车型的尺寸更大,轴向差距可达300mm。本发明方法主要用于对图中这样尺寸差别较大的传统意义上的“跨级别”车型进行基于模块化制造的装配设计。对于尺寸差距较小的“同级别”车型,将本发明方法根据实际情况进行简化应用即可。As shown in Figure 1, there are three models of the sedan (Figure 1a), hatchback (Figure 1b) and SUV (Figure 1c) in the same product family. The other two models are larger in size, with an axial gap of up to 300mm. The method of the present invention is mainly used to carry out assembly design based on modular manufacturing for "cross-class" vehicle models in the traditional sense with large size differences as shown in the figure. For "same level" vehicle models with smaller size differences, the method of the present invention can be simplified and applied according to actual conditions.

根据实际制造、装配工艺水平进行白车身底板的制造单元预分割,根据车身结构的对称性可仅以左半车身为研究对象,以底板为例,分割状况如图2中红色点划线所示。在车身模型所在坐标系中的X轴和Y轴方向分别选取适当的分割点将车身沿两个方向分别分割为x段和y段,则预分割单元共有(x×y)块。通过控制x和y的数量可以控制底板预分割块数。对于跨级别车型而言,预分割单元通常会在y方向上相差x块到2x块。According to the actual manufacturing and assembly process level, the manufacturing unit pre-segmentation of the body-in-white bottom plate is carried out. According to the symmetry of the body structure, only the left half-body body can be used as the research object. Taking the bottom plate as an example, the division status is shown in the red dotted line in Figure 2 . Select appropriate segmentation points in the X-axis and Y-axis directions of the coordinate system where the body model is located to divide the body into x and y segments along the two directions, and the pre-segmentation unit has (x×y) blocks in total. By controlling the number of x and y, the number of pre-divided blocks of the bottom plate can be controlled. For cross-level models, the pre-segmentation units usually differ by x blocks to 2x blocks in the y direction.

将各车型底板进行预分割后的结构图转化为对应的拓扑连接关系图,拓扑图中的顶点对应预分割单元,拓扑图中的边对应各单元之间的连接关系。依照X轴和Y轴的方向依次进行编号,单元集排序编号为V1,V2,…,VP,连接关系集排序编号为E1,E2,…,EQ,k号子部件四个顶点坐标为a、b、c、d为子板顺时针方向四个节点编号,x、y、z为顶点坐标。依此对产品族内每个待研究车型建立起一一对应的拓扑模型,如图3所示,其中图3a为两厢车型和三厢车型的底板拓扑关系图,图3b为SUV车型的底板拓扑关系图。The pre-segmented structure graph of each model floor is transformed into a corresponding topological connection graph. The vertices in the topology graph correspond to the pre-segmented units, and the edges in the topology graph correspond to the connection relationship between each unit. Numbering in sequence according to the direction of the X-axis and Y-axis, the sequence number of the unit set is V 1 , V 2 , ..., V P , the sequence number of the connection relationship set is E 1 , E 2 , ..., E Q , subcomponent 4 The coordinates of a vertex are a, b, c, d are the numbers of the four clockwise nodes of the sub-board, and x, y, z are the coordinates of the vertices. Based on this, a one-to-one corresponding topology model is established for each model to be studied in the product family, as shown in Figure 3, where Figure 3a is the floor topology relationship diagram of hatchback and sedan models, and Figure 3b is the floor topology of SUV models relation chart.

对实际结构而言,一个部件的连接关系有两种可能:作为整体进行冲压和分开冲压再进行焊接。拓扑图中,当连接两节点的边存在时,代表两块预分割单元同属一个部件内部,不存在焊缝;当连接两节点的边不存在时,代表两块预分割单元之间断开后焊接,存在焊缝。由此可见,拓扑图中可根据由一组0、1变量组成的数组作为结构的分割向量,变量取1时表示对应边存在,取0时表示边不存在。该组数组同时作为优化计算中遗传算法的个体编码。As far as the actual structure is concerned, there are two possibilities for the connection relationship of a part: stamping as a whole and stamping separately and then welding. In the topology diagram, when the edge connecting the two nodes exists, it means that the two pre-segmented units belong to the same part, and there is no weld; when the edge connecting the two nodes does not exist, it means that the two pre-segmented units are disconnected and then welded , there is a weld. It can be seen that in the topology graph, an array composed of a set of 0 and 1 variables can be used as the segmentation vector of the structure. When the variable is 1, it means that the corresponding edge exists, and when it is 0, it means that the edge does not exist. The group of arrays is also used as the individual code of the genetic algorithm in the optimization calculation.

车身概念设计阶段需要考虑的结构性能指标至少需要包含车身刚度(影响驾驶感受、NVH性能和安全性能等)、可装配性(影响制造难度、装配成本和结构可靠性等)、以及可制造性(评估制造风险及成本)三个方面。本发明方法中以这三种性能指标为优化目标,对结构的装配方式进行求解。各项性能指标的评估方法为:The structural performance indicators that need to be considered in the concept design stage of the body need to include at least body stiffness (affecting driving experience, NVH performance, and safety performance, etc.), assemblability (affecting manufacturing difficulty, assembly cost, and structural reliability, etc.), and manufacturability ( Assess manufacturing risk and cost) in three aspects. In the method of the present invention, these three performance indexes are taken as optimization targets, and the assembly mode of the structure is solved. The evaluation methods of various performance indicators are as follows:

1.车身刚度:在同一载荷下使用有限元模型中预定义节点处位移来评估,变形越大,刚度越差;1. Body stiffness: under the same load, use the displacement at the predefined nodes in the finite element model to evaluate, the greater the deformation, the worse the stiffness;

2.可制造性:以模具面积近似估算制造成本,第k个子部件的模具面积近似为: 2. Manufacturability: The manufacturing cost is approximated by the mold area, and the mold area of the kth sub-component is approximated as:

3.可装配性:以焊点数量近似衡量,本方法中焊点间距设定为30mm,则可知结构中第l个焊缝的焊点数量为:(y向)或(x向)。3. Assemblability: Measured approximately by the number of solder joints, the distance between solder joints is set to 30mm in this method, then the number of solder joints of the lth weld in the structure is: (y direction) or (x direction).

将该设计转化为数学上的多目标优化问题,则优化变量为分割点的位置和拓扑图中各边的连接情况,约束为实际制造中涉及的分割单元尺寸、刚度、成本等方面内容,目标函数将上述三项性能指标转换为:Transform this design into a mathematical multi-objective optimization problem, the optimization variables are the position of the segmentation point and the connection of each edge in the topology graph, and the constraints are the size, stiffness, cost and other aspects of the segmentation unit involved in actual manufacturing. The objective The function converts the above three performance indicators into:

F车身刚度=min{位移(G(V,E(γ)))}F body stiffness = min {displacement (G (V, E (γ)))}

对设计中所涉及的几个车型均按照该优化模型进行优化。结合适用于多目标优化问题的遗传进化算法进行计算,可得到最优Pareto解集,解集中的每个个体即为一个分割向量,对应为一种底板分割方式。在一组分割向量中,每一段由γ=0 or 1的编码均可对应为一种对应位置的装配方式。如图4所示,E6-E12的三种不同组合可对应为该段底板的三种不同装配方式,其他部分的编码不变则可保证对应部件在几种不同装配方式之间的通用。由于跨级别车型之间通常相差一段底板模块,因此可以通过这种方式进行模块共享度的求解。在对每个车型均求得优化解集后,在解集中选取出局部特征一致的个体,再从中根据设计需求选取最终结果,则可在跨级别车型之间实现模块共享。图5即为所得到的结果。Several car models involved in the design are optimized according to the optimization model. Combined with the genetic evolution algorithm suitable for multi-objective optimization problems, the optimal Pareto solution set can be obtained. Each individual in the solution set is a segmentation vector, which corresponds to a floor segmentation method. In a group of segmentation vectors, each segment coded by γ=0 or 1 can correspond to an assembly method corresponding to a position. As shown in Figure 4, the three different combinations of E 6 -E 12 can correspond to three different assembly methods of this section of the bottom plate, and the codes of other parts remain unchanged to ensure the commonality of the corresponding parts among several different assembly methods . Since there is usually a floor module difference between cross-level models, the module sharing degree can be solved in this way. After the optimal solution set is obtained for each model, individuals with consistent local characteristics are selected from the solution set, and the final result is selected according to the design requirements, so that module sharing can be realized among cross-level models. Figure 5 is the result obtained.

使用上述方法可得到基于模块化设计的车身装配方式,然而待装配零部件中,哪些可被共享,哪些不能被共享仍然无法确定。因此,本发明方法进一步提出了几种模块的分类和对应的筛选方法。以如图6所示的侧围为例,为按照上述方法计算得到的一种基于模块化设计的装配方式。在以此为参照进行新车型设计时,可在保持整体结构不变的前提下对其中的某几个模块进行更换。如需要加长轴距,既可通过更换模块2、3达到效果,又可更换模块4、5,而其它模块不变。考虑到车身结构性能的要求,有些模块还需要增厚和减薄。因此,模块可大致分为四类:不同车型之间明显不同的个性模块,尺寸上有较大变动的参数模块,无需任何更改的通用模块、仅改变板厚的柔性模块。其中,通用模块和柔性模块均属于共享模块,个性模块可在同一大类车型不同细分车型间进行共享,如三厢车型专用模块等。Using the above method, the body assembly method based on modular design can be obtained. However, it is still uncertain which parts to be assembled can be shared and which cannot be shared. Therefore, the method of the present invention further proposes classification of several modules and corresponding screening methods. Taking the side wall as shown in Figure 6 as an example, it is an assembly method based on modular design calculated according to the above method. When designing a new model with this as a reference, some of the modules can be replaced on the premise of keeping the overall structure unchanged. If the wheelbase needs to be lengthened, the effect can be achieved by replacing the modules 2 and 3, and the modules 4 and 5 can be replaced, while other modules remain unchanged. Considering the performance requirements of the body structure, some modules also need to be thickened and thinned. Therefore, the modules can be roughly divided into four categories: individual modules that are obviously different between different models, parameter modules that have large changes in size, general-purpose modules that do not require any changes, and flexible modules that only change the thickness of the board. Among them, the common module and the flexible module belong to the shared module, and the personality module can be shared among different subdivision models of the same large class of vehicle, such as the special module for the sedan model, etc.

参数模块基本无法在任何车型之间进行共享,额外成本最高;个性模块通常可在同一大类车型下不同细分车型之间进行通用共享,额外成本较高;柔性模块只需要对冲压模具的凹模或者凸模进行小幅调整修改,额外成本较低;通用模块可以被所有车型使用,额外成本最低。Parameter modules basically cannot be shared between any models, and the additional cost is the highest; personality modules can usually be shared between different subdivision models under the same category of models, and the additional cost is relatively high; Minor adjustments and modifications can be made to the mold or punch, and the extra cost is low; the general module can be used by all models, and the extra cost is the lowest.

使用前文提出的基于模块化设计方法后得到的结果,可根据观察直接找出个性模块,不需要研究筛选个性模块的方法。Using the results obtained from the modular design method proposed above, the personality modules can be found directly based on observations, without the need to study the method of screening personality modules.

参数模块是在设计新车型时需要被重新设计并进行替换的模块,因此,在筛选参数化模块时,应以更换模块时的制造成本和装配成本为优化目标,车身性能为约束,即在保证车身性能没有损失的前提下,令成本最少。根据车型设计时所涉及的尺寸变化位置对更换模块对应的成本进行优先级排序,并优先考虑低成本的位置进行模块更换,即设定为参数模块。如图6中,在车身轴距方向发生改变时,可从I、II、III、IV四个位置分别进行变动,在车身高度方向发生改变时,可从i、ii两个位置发生变动。轴向III方向和高度i方向分别为两个方向上更换模块时成本最低的位置,则优先考虑模块4、5为轴向参数模块,1,2,4为高度向参数模块。The parameter module is a module that needs to be redesigned and replaced when designing a new car model. Therefore, when selecting a parameterized module, the manufacturing cost and assembly cost when replacing the module should be taken as the optimization goal, and the performance of the body is the constraint, that is, the guarantee On the premise of no loss of body performance, the cost is minimized. According to the dimensional change position involved in the model design, the cost corresponding to the replacement module is prioritized, and the low-cost position is given priority to replace the module, that is, it is set as a parameter module. As shown in Figure 6, when the wheelbase direction of the vehicle body changes, it can be changed from four positions I, II, III, and IV respectively; when the vehicle body height direction changes, it can be changed from two positions i and ii. The axial direction III and the height i direction are respectively the positions with the lowest cost when replacing modules in the two directions, and modules 4 and 5 are given priority as axial parameter modules, and 1, 2, and 4 are height-oriented parameter modules.

在选取成本最低的模块作为参数化模块后,需要对每个车型分别进行一次优化,看是否能够满足性能和车重要求。如果无法满足,则需要重新选取成本第二低的模块作为参数模块,再次进行单车型优化,依次类推,直到优化结果满足要求。After selecting the module with the lowest cost as the parameterized module, it is necessary to optimize each model to see if it can meet the performance and weight requirements. If it cannot be satisfied, it is necessary to re-select the module with the second lowest cost as the parameter module, and perform single-model optimization again, and so on, until the optimization result meets the requirements.

确定个性模块和参数模块后,则需再筛选出柔性模块,余下的即为共享模块。在对车身结构进行了参数模块的替换之后,柔性模块主要用于在厚度上和局部细节进行一部分调整,以求新车型满足刚度和轻量化的要求。因此,车身刚度、重量等方面的性能指标是主要用来筛选柔性模块的标准。After the personality module and parameter module are determined, the flexible module needs to be screened out, and the rest are shared modules. After replacing the parameter module of the body structure, the flexible module is mainly used to make some adjustments in thickness and local details, so that the new model can meet the requirements of stiffness and light weight. Therefore, performance indicators such as body stiffness and weight are the criteria mainly used to screen flexible modules.

如果在选择参数模块后将余下的所有零部件均视为通用模块,可能出现两种问题:1、某些车型使用了厚度较厚的通用模块后导致车身重量较重,不满足轻量化需求;2、某些车型使用了厚度较薄的通用模块后导致车身性能较差,不满足刚度、强度等要求。针对可能出现的这两种问题,本发明方法提出了一种“弱约束,强目标”的逐步释放通用模块约束至柔性模块的方法。在该部分优化问题中,主要的约束有两种:不同车型间进行并行优化时的平台约束(相同设计参数在不同车型间保持一致的约束)和各车型优化问题中的性能约束。“弱约束”指第二种,即在优化过程中弱化以车身性能为函数的约束,将其视为目标函数与车身重量同时进行优化,再根据结果逐步释放平台约束。If all the remaining parts are regarded as general-purpose modules after the parameter module is selected, two problems may occur: 1. Some models use thick general-purpose modules, resulting in heavy body weight, which does not meet the lightweight requirements; 2. Some models use thinner general-purpose modules, resulting in poor body performance, which does not meet the requirements of stiffness and strength. In view of these two possible problems, the method of the present invention proposes a "weak constraint, strong target" method to gradually release the general module constraints to the flexible module. In this part of the optimization problem, there are two main constraints: platform constraints (constraints that the same design parameters are consistent among different models) when parallel optimization is performed among different models, and performance constraints in the optimization problem of each model. "Weak constraint" refers to the second type, that is, in the optimization process, the constraint that is a function of the body performance is weakened, and it is regarded as an objective function and the weight of the body is optimized at the same time, and then the platform constraint is gradually released according to the result.

该部分工作的问题主要在于:无法选择释放合适的参数变量作为柔性模块的设计变量,在多个车型进行并行优化时,在不同车型在存在未知约束时(未完成柔性模块的筛选时需要逐步释放约束,即还有不合理的约束存在于模型中)进行等式约束下的优化较难控制优化方向,存在收敛性方面的困难。采用弱化约束将其转化为目标函数后再通过释放约束进行优化方向的控制的方法可以得到较为广阔的解集空间,更方便根据设计者的需要对优化解集进行调整,同时每次迭代后均可根据结果选择下一次该释放平台约束的变量,从而在严格保证车身性能的同时实现了柔性调节模块的筛选。The problem in this part of the work is that it is impossible to choose to release the appropriate parameter variable as the design variable of the flexible module. Constraints, that is, there are unreasonable constraints in the model) It is difficult to control the optimization direction when optimizing under equality constraints, and there are difficulties in convergence. The method of converting it into an objective function by weakening the constraints and then controlling the optimization direction by releasing the constraints can obtain a relatively broad solution set space, which is more convenient to adjust the optimization solution set according to the needs of the designer, and at the same time, after each iteration, the According to the result, the variable that should release the platform constraints next time can be selected, so that the selection of the flexible adjustment module can be realized while strictly ensuring the performance of the vehicle body.

本发明方法中主要根据ΔSt的大小进行约束的释放。ΔSt=S×Δt,S为该模块的面积,Δt为该模块增加1单位性能指标所需增加的板材厚度,由优化当前点所求的灵敏度函数得到。ΔSt即为提供相对1单位刚度所需要增加的材料重量。使用本发明方法时,首先将当前待筛选模块均视为通用模块,即同一零部件在所有车型间均保持一致,然后对各车型进行并行优化,并与不考虑模块化设计时的性能进行对比。如果某一车型的性能合格但车重较重无法满足预定轻量化要求,则将该车型中ΔSt高的零部件筛选为柔性模块并对该部件进行减重,即在性能牺牲最小的代价下最大化减重,然后再次进行优化对余下的零部件继续进行筛选;如果某一车型的车重较轻但性能不合格,则将该车型中ΔSt低的零部件筛选为柔性模块并对该部件进行增强,即在增加重量最少的代价下增强结构性能。如此往复,直到所有车型满足预定要求。In the method of the present invention, the constraint is released mainly according to the size of ΔS t . ΔS t =S×Δt, S is the area of the module, and Δt is the thickness of the plate required to increase the performance index of the module by 1 unit, which is obtained by optimizing the sensitivity function obtained at the current point. ΔS t is the increased material weight required to provide relative 1 unit stiffness. When using the method of the present invention, at first the current modules to be screened are regarded as general modules, that is, the same part is consistent among all models, and then each model is optimized in parallel, and compared with the performance when the modular design is not considered. Compared. If the performance of a certain model is qualified but the weight of the vehicle is too heavy to meet the predetermined lightweight requirements, the parts with high ΔS t in the model are selected as flexible modules and the weight of the parts is reduced, that is, at the cost of the least performance sacrifice Maximize the weight reduction, and then optimize again to continue to screen the remaining parts; if a certain model has a light weight but unqualified performance, then filter the parts with low ΔS t in the model as flexible modules and Components are reinforced to enhance structural performance at the expense of minimal weight gain. And so on, until all models meet the predetermined requirements.

对发明算例中的三款车型,依次按照以上方法进行优化计算,可得到一种设计方式如图7所示,其中图7(a)为三厢车型模块设计结果,图7(b)为两厢车型模块设计结果,图7(c)为SUV车型模块设计结果。图中的蓝色部分为通用模块,红色部分为参数模块,黄色部分为个性模块,绿色部分为柔性模块。优化设计的零部件共享率及轻量化结果如表1所示。表中可见,与每个车型单独优化的轻量化结果相对比,基于模块化设计制造的轻量化结果有一定损失,但均控制在10%以下,而共享率已提高至40%甚至60%,可以有效较少企业的各方面成本。For the three models in the invention calculation example, the optimization calculation is carried out according to the above method in turn, and a design method can be obtained as shown in Figure 7, where Figure 7(a) is the module design result of the sedan model, and Figure 7(b) is The module design results of hatchback models, Figure 7(c) shows the module design results of SUV models. The blue part in the figure is a general module, the red part is a parameter module, the yellow part is a personality module, and the green part is a flexible module. The parts sharing rate and lightweight results of the optimized design are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from the table that compared with the lightweight results of individual optimization of each model, the lightweight results based on modular design have a certain loss, but they are all controlled below 10%, while the sharing rate has increased to 40% or even 60%. It can effectively reduce the cost of all aspects of the enterprise.

Then The smaller the size, the closer the assembly structure is; by selecting the guaranteed solution among the populations of different models, the assembly scheme design based on the idea of modularization of multiple models can be realized; (3)完成装配设计的车身结构零部件将作为模块并进行归类,本发明方法中,将模块分为以下四类并进行逐步筛选:(3) the vehicle body structure components that complete the assembly design will be classified as modules, and in the method of the present invention, the modules are divided into the following four categories and gradually screened: 参数模块:新车型设计时需要重新设计的模块;Parameter module: a module that needs to be redesigned when designing a new model; 通用模块:可在所有车型之间进行通用的模块;Universal module: a module that can be used universally among all models; 柔性模块:但需要进行局部调整的模块;Flexible modules: modules that require local adjustments; 个性模块:同类车型间通用、不同类车型间不可通用的模块;Personality modules: modules that are common among similar models, but not common between different types of models; (4)首先选取个性模块:根据车型类别和车身结构特征,直接选出个性模块;(4) First select the personality module: directly select the personality module according to the vehicle type and the structural characteristics of the vehicle body; (5)其次选取参数模块:在以某车型为原型车进行新车型设计时,在多个位置进行尺寸变动;根据装配结果,选取各模块在重设计方向上的坐标点u=(umin,umax),式中u=x,y,z,umin为对应方向上的最小坐标值,umax为最大坐标值;对于两个相邻的模块R和R+1,如果有uR max>uR+1min,则该方向上,存在一个可以通过更改模块R和R+1的尺寸来改变整车尺寸的位;如果uR max=uR+1min,则可通过仅更改模块R或R+1中的一个来实现整车尺寸的变动;如果有三个模块相邻,并存同时有uR max>uR+1min,uR+1max>uR+2min,uR max>uR+2min,则对车身结构在相应位置进行尺寸变动时,需要同时改动R,R+1和R+2三个模块;由此,找出对车身尺寸进行调整的位置及相应需要进行改动的模块;制造新车型时,选取不同的调整位置会增加不同的附加成本,概念设计阶段主要考虑制造成本F制造成本和F装配成本;由于此时的尺寸更改不会太大并可能不确定,因此以车身性能函数F车身刚度作为约束进行校验,要求满足预定义刚度选取附加成本最小的位置作为主要重设计区域,对应需要改动的模块即为参数模块;如果该位置不能满足性能需求,则返回重新选择;则优化模型表示为:(5) Next, select parameter modules: when designing a new model with a certain model as a prototype, change the size at multiple positions; according to the assembly results, select the coordinate point u=(u min , u max ), where u=x, y, z, u min is the minimum coordinate value in the corresponding direction, u max is the maximum coordinate value; for two adjacent modules R and R+1, if u R max >u R+1min , then in this direction, there is a position that can change the size of the whole vehicle by changing the size of modules R and R+1; if u R max =u R+1min , then it can be One of R+1 is used to change the size of the vehicle; if there are three adjacent modules, u R max >u R+1min , u R+1max >u R+2min , u R max >u R+ 2min , when changing the size of the body structure at the corresponding position, the three modules R, R+1 and R+2 need to be changed at the same time; thus, find out the position where the body size is adjusted and the corresponding modules that need to be changed; When manufacturing a new car model, selecting different adjustment positions will increase different additional costs. In the conceptual design stage, the manufacturing cost F manufacturing cost and F assembly cost are mainly considered; since the size change at this time will not be too large and may be uncertain, the body The body stiffness of the performance function F is verified as a constraint, and it is required to meet the predefined stiffness Select the location with the smallest additional cost as the main redesign area, and the corresponding module that needs to be changed is the parameter module; if the location cannot meet the performance requirements, return to reselect; then the optimization model is expressed as: (6)最后选择柔性模块;约束所有未筛选的模块为通用模块,即各设计参数均有t车型1=t车型2=…=t车型n;在当前约束下对各车型进行优化,优化目标为最大化车重模块质量(Comp k)和车身性能F车身刚度;根据设计者需求设定两个优化目标的选择区间及最优解,并与设计要求的进行比对,根据解的情况及ΔSt值释放其t车型1=t车型2=…=t车型n的约束,即设计参数无需再与其他车型内相应参数保持一致:如果某车型的优化结果 且至少有一个=不成立,如果两个=均成立,则已经满足要求,则释放该车型中ΔSt最低的模块所对应的设计参数约束,该模块成为柔性模块;反之,如果某车型的优化结果且至少有一个=不成立,则释放ΔSt最高的模块所对应的设计参数约束,该模块成为柔性模块;更改约束后,进入下一轮迭代,直到所有车型满足设计要求,余下未被选择的模块即为通用模块,最终完成全部种类模块的筛选。(6) Select the flexible module at last; Constrain all unscreened modules to be general modules, namely each design parameter has t car model 1 =t car model 2 =...=t car model n ; Under the current constraints, each car model is optimized, and the optimization target To maximize vehicle weight Module quality (Comp k) and body performance F body stiffness ; according to the designer's needs, set the selection interval and optimal solution of two optimization goals, and match the design requirements and Carry out a comparison, and release the constraints of t model 1 = t model 2 =...= t model n according to the solution and ΔS t value, that is, the design parameters do not need to be consistent with the corresponding parameters in other models: if the optimization result of a certain model and And at least one = is not established, if both = are established, the requirements have been met, then release the design parameter constraints corresponding to the module with the lowest ΔS t in this model, and this module becomes a flexible module; on the contrary, if the optimization result of a certain model and And at least one = is not established, then release the design parameter constraints corresponding to the module with the highest ΔS t , and this module becomes a flexible module; after changing the constraints, enter the next round of iteration until all models meet the design requirements, and the remaining unselected modules It is a general-purpose module, and finally completes the screening of all types of modules.
