Abstract

In order to improve the test conditions of the tire uniformity test and the effect of the speed and tire pressure on the uniformity parameters, the uniformity test of the tire under different speeds and tire pressure was carried out by a high-speed uniformity test machine, and the experimental data were analyzed and fitted by the regression analysis method. This paper introduces the definition of uniformity and the uniformity parameters of automotive tires; the working principle of a high-speed uniformity testing machine is briefly described, a mathematical model of the uniformity testing machine is established, and the signal acquisition process of the tire uniformity parameters and the calculation method of the uniformity parameters are described. The test result indicates: As the speed increases, the radial force fluctuation, lateral force fluctuation, tangential force fluctuation, and turning torque fluctuation of the tire increase, and the positive torque fluctuation first increases and then decreases; with the increase of tire pressure, the radial force fluctuation and the tangential force fluctuation of the tire increase, and the lateral force fluctuation, the turning torque fluctuation, and the returning moment fluctuation are all reduced. Compared to the low speed uniformity test, the high speed uniformity test can better reflect the uniformity of the tire, reducing the speed of the vehicle can reduce the radial runout and lateral sway of the tire; increasing the tire pressure can reduce the left and right swing of the vehicle.

Highlights

  • With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the performance of cars in the past no longer meets the needs of drivers in the present; vehicles are constantly improving in their handling and comfort

  • A tire will deform irregularly when driven at high speed, resulting in fluctuations in radial, lateral, and tangential forces, reflecting variation in the circumferential forces of the tire, known as tire nonuniformity

  • Present, the speedofofvehicles vehicles highway is about km/h, testofresults of the low-speed the speed onon thethe highway is about km/h, and theand test the results the low-speed uniformity uniformity tester cannot accurately reflect the forces of the tire when it is rolling at some tester cannot accurately reflect the forces of the tire when it is rolling at high speed;high somespeed; parameters parameters that are neglected in the low-speed uniformity test may be important reference factors in that are neglected in the low-speed uniformity test may be important reference factors in high-speed high-speed such as tangential force fluctuations, positive-torque fluctuations, and uniformity uniformity tests, such tests, as tangential force fluctuations, positive-torque fluctuations, and roll-over roll-over torque fluctuations

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the performance of cars in the past no longer meets the needs of drivers in the present; vehicles are constantly improving in their handling and comfort. (3) Tangential force (TF) is the driving force of tire and high-speed uniformity testing machine, reflecting the driving performance of the vehicle. (4) Radial force fluctuation (RFV) refers to the fluctuation of radial force during one or more cycles of positive or negative rotation of a tire under a certain load, pressure, and speed, showing the upper and lower runout of the tire. (5) Lateral force fluctuation (LFV) refers to the fluctuation of the inner side of the tire during one or more cycles of positive or negative rotation of the tire under a certain load, pressure, and speed, which is manifested as the left and right deviation of the car. (6) Tangential force fluctuation (TFV) refers to the fluctuation of the driving direction of the tire during one or more cycles of positive or negative rotation under a certain load, pressure, and speed.
