Description:
The vibration degree of a steering wheel has important reference significance for drivers to evaluate the ride comfort of the whole vehicle. To solve the jitter problem of the steering wheel of a commercial vehicle at idle speed, this work proposes a multinode joint vibration control strategy (MDVC) based on the associated vibration path of the steering wheel. Based on the analysis of the associated vibration transfer paths of the steering wheel, the whole vehicle was divided into a system comprising several nodes. For the decomposed node system, taking the vibration transmission path associated with the target as the research direction, the vibration reduction design of each node system is analyzed step by step. After exploring the possible causes of abnormal vibration of the steering wheel through experimental tests, the abnormal node structure interval was determined. By further extracting the structural model of the steering system from the vehicle, the hammering method was applied to test its modal and related frequency. Furthermore, an improved structure of steering support was also designed, and its fitting degree and modal characteristics were analyzed and compared to the original scheme. The following test results show that the structure improvement greatly reduces the vibration level of the steering wheel, meets the ideal design requirements of the steering wheel vibration reduction, and provides the possibility of weighing the correlation between these hierarchical node systems in whole vehicle.
