Description

System and method for measuring articulation angle of full-trailer automobile train
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of road tests of whole automobiles, in particular to a system and a method for measuring a hinge angle of a full-trailer automobile train.
Background
With the development of automobile transportation industry and the continuous increase of freight volume, the load capacity of automobiles is continuously increased, and because the development of automobiles is limited by the total mass of the automobiles and axle load quality regulations, the most effective way for improving the quality of automobiles is to carry out trailer transportation and develop automobile trains. A light train is a combination of a motor tractor (passenger car class M1 or pickup truck class N1) and a trailer, the tractor and trailer being connected and interacting by an articulated structure (comprising a trailer head (pin) at the rear of the vehicle to which the tractor is mounted and a trailer at the front of the trailer), the articulation angle being the angle between the longitudinal axis of the tractor and the longitudinal axis of the trailer. In the running process of the automobile train, the size and the change rate of the hinge angle can directly reflect the transverse stability of the automobile train, and instability phenomena such as folding of the tractor and the trailer and the like can be caused due to the overlarge hinge angle. The GB/T29121-2012 transverse stability test for trains of passenger vehicles and passenger vehicles on roads clearly specifies that the articulation angle of the trains of the passenger vehicles is measured in real time in the test process, so that a device and a method for measuring the articulation angle in real time, which are suitable for the road test of light trains, are needed to be researched.
The existing techniques for measuring the hinge angle are classified into the following two categories: (1) contact angle measurement sensor: such as a rotary potentiometer. (2) A non-contact sensor: such as vision sensors and electromagnetic induction sensors. Contact angle measurement sensor generally need install the articulated mounting department between tractor and trailer, and when the train went, articulated department had great rocking and striking, and great just cause the sensor to damage easily to measuring result influence. Meanwhile, the device is limited by installation, is not beneficial to multi-combination train test, and has poor convenience in actual use. Non-contact angle measurement sensors, such as those disclosed in CN 108761481a and CN106225723A, all provide point cloud or image information generated by using return signals from a trailer, and angle parameters are obtained through processing and analysis; the patent publication CN 102582686a proposes to calculate an angle parameter using the travel track and speed information obtained from GPS signals on the tractor and trailer, respectively. The non-contact angle measuring device solves the problem that a contact angle measuring sensor is poor in convenience, however, corresponding testing cost is not optimistic due to high-precision equipment and a system for processing complex information, meanwhile, requirements of a GPS and an image signal on testing environment are high, complex information processing depends on system data processing capacity, and the non-contact angle measuring device is not very suitable for testing with real-time monitoring requirements.

the laser range finder, the data acquisition instrument and the data analyzer are connected in sequence.
The system for measuring the articulation angle of the fully-trailer train mainly adopts the laser range finder to measure the articulation angle between the tractor and the trailer, and the laser range finder is arranged at the front end of the trailer or the rear end of the tractor instead of the articulation part of the tractor and the trailer, so that the influence of factors such as shaking of the articulation part on the accuracy of a measurement result can be avoided, meanwhile, the laser range finder is prevented from being damaged, and the use convenience is good; and the laser range finder is common equipment, and is with low costs, and stability is high, and it is low to the test environment requirement, therefore can realize the laser range finder transmission laser and the real-time measurement of the distance between the reflecting plate, and the whole train of hanging car is at the in-process of marcing, and the change of articulated angle between tractor and trailer can directly be reflected to the change of above distance, through data acquisition and the calculation of data analysis appearance of data acquisition appearance, can obtain real-time articulated angle.
The system has a simple structure, does not need to change vehicles, is convenient to install, can realize real-time measurement of the hinge angle of the train without being restricted by the hinge mechanism of the train under a road state, and can analyze the transverse stability of the train.
It should be noted that:
the above-mentioned "fully-trailer train" refers to a train in which the front end of the trailer is connected to the rear end of the tractor, and the tractor only provides forward pulling force to drag the trailer, but does not bear the downward weight of the trailer.
The "articulation angle" refers to the angle between the longitudinal axis of the tractor and the longitudinal axis of the trailer in a motor vehicle train, which is an acute angle. The longitudinal axis of the tractor refers to an axis perpendicular to the front end face and the rear end face of the tractor; the longitudinal axis of the trailer refers to an axis perpendicular to the front and rear faces of the trailer.

When the transmitting end of the laser range finder is arranged on the front end face of the trailer or the rear end face of the tractor, the distance from the transmitting end to the reflecting plate is the distance to be measured, and the distance measurement is simpler and more convenient. If the transmitting end is not arranged on the front end face of the trailer or the rear end face of the tractor, namely the transmitting end has a certain distance with the front end face of the trailer or the rear end face of the tractor, the required distance is the distance between the laser from the transmitting end to the reflecting plate minus or plus the distance between the transmitting end and the front end face of the trailer or the rear end face of the tractor. For example, the emitting end protrudes a certain distance a (i.e., is disposed outside of the front end face of the trailer), and the required distance is the distance + a from the emitting end to the reflector plate; for another example, the transmitting end is embedded in the front end of the trailer (i.e., is disposed inside the front end surface of the trailer), the distance from the front end surface of the trailer is b, and the required distance is the distance-b from the transmitting end to the reflector plate, which makes the measurement of the above two distances relatively complicated. In practical application, the flexible selection can be carried out according to the requirements of vehicles, measurement and the like.
