Abstract

A noise and vibration diagnosis device and control method thereof may include a measuring sensor configured to be attached at a predetermined position of a vehicle to measure noise and vibration thereof, a signal input portion to which the noise and vibration signal that is generated from the measuring sensor is inputted, and a control portion configured to receive the signal that is transferred from the signal input portion and compare it with a predetermined reference value to output a replacement signal by which it is determined whether the component on which the measuring device is attached is to be replaced or not in accordance with the comparison result.

Claims

1. A control method of a noise and vibration diagnosis device for a vehicle, comprising:

setting a noise and vibration measurement condition through a user interface and measuring noise and vibration of a seat rail and a handle;

determining whether the measured noise and vibration value is higher than a reference value (A) that is predetermined at a predetermined position according to a vehicle;

determining that the vehicle is in abnormal state if the noise and vibration measurement value is in excess of the reference value (A) and determining whether the noise and vibration measurement value of the vibration induction side of an engine mount is in excess of a reference value (B);

determining whether the noise and vibration measurement value of a rotational component configured to be connected to the engine is in excess of a reference value (C) if the measurement value of the vibration induction side of the engine mount is in excess of the reference value (B); and

determining a defective component that is related to the noise and vibration and performing a guidance function to replace a predetermined component if the noise and vibration measurement value of the rotational component is in excess of the reference value (C).

2. The control method of claim 1, wherein if the noise and vibration measurement value of the rotational component does not exceed the reference value (C), it is determined that the tensile force of a belt is in an abnormal range to indicate that the belt to be replaced.

3. The control method of claim 1, wherein the rotational component includes an alternator, a power steering pump, and an air conditioner compressor.

4. The control method of claim 1, wherein if the measurement value of the vibration induction side of the engine mount does not exceed the reference value (B), the noise and vibration of the vehicle body side in the engine mount is measured, if a difference value (a) of the measurement value of the vibration induction side of the engine mount minus the measurement value of the engine mount vehicle body side exceeds a reference value (E), it is determined whether the rotational component is in a normal state or not, and if the difference value (a) does not exceed the reference value (E), it is determined that the engine mount is in an abnormal state to indicate replacement thereof.
