Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an automobile fault simulation test bench, and in particular to a simulation test bench used for reproducing and simulating faults of pure electric buses caused by electrical component function and communication errors, omissions, etc., so as to guide vehicle repair and establish failure mode analysis. Background Art

[0002] At present, technical cases related to major vehicle manufacturers have been retrieved. The main ones with similar structures and principles include Case 1 "A vehicle electrical function test bench", patent number CN202220319401.3, and Case 2 "Automobile electrical simulation test bench", patent number CN104376773 A, etc.

[0003] Case One is a door test stand for a single functional module in the vehicle. The front and rear door wiring harnesses and front and rear door electrical components can simulate opening and closing. The purpose is to be compatible with all models of door module electrical function tests without being affected by the position and wiring harness direction, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0004] Case 2 is a test bench for the simulation of the electrical equipment of a passenger car, including a complete on-board electrical system such as the engine module, cabin module, instrument module, cockpit module and four-door module. However, only the circuit structure diagram and other bench ideas are shown, and the bench itself is not designed. Figure 2 shown.

[0005] The above patent solutions are all test benches for passenger car parts or vehicle electrical systems, which are quite different from pure electric buses in terms of structure, function, parts, etc. Moreover, the test benches cover fewer systems, and their integrity and functionality are relatively simple.

[0006] With the increasing electrification of pure electric buses, more and more parts have been electrified and CAN communication has been realized, and they support electronic control, which has caused the vehicles to show more functional failures related to the electrical system and communication error alarms during use. Some failures occur very rarely and are difficult to reproduce, and are subject to the limitations of vehicle, site, driver and other conditions. It not only consumes manpower and material resources to find and solve the problems through vehicle operation, but also prolongs the cycle of solving the problems.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to establish a pure electric bus high and low voltage electrical component fault simulation test bench, which is a complete test bench for all high and low voltage electrical components or systems designed for new energy pure electric buses. Through this test, the failure problems of various components of the whole vehicle can be quickly simulated and reproduced, providing a basis for rapid reproduction and troubleshooting for failure mode analysis in the design stage and after-sales maintenance.
