Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery detection, and in particular to a battery automated testing system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles, energy storage devices, and smart terminal products, batteries, as core energy components, have a performance stability and reliability that is directly related to the safety and service life of the entire system. Traditional battery testing methods often rely on manual operation, requiring extensive human intervention throughout the testing process, and are cumbersome and error-prone. First, manually connecting the battery to the test equipment requires the tester to ensure the stability and accuracy of each connection. Improper operation can result in poor contact, inaccurate test data, or equipment damage.

[0003] Furthermore, the manual reading of test data is susceptible to human interference, potentially leading to data omissions and recording errors. Regarding data analysis, many traditional methods rely on manual analysis of test results item by item, which not only increases the workload but also increases the risk of analytical bias. This makes the entire testing process time-consuming and inefficient.

[0004] More importantly, existing battery testing methods are limited in functionality and fail to meet the diverse testing needs of modern batteries. Traditional equipment is often limited to testing a specific battery type or function. For example, it can only test battery charge and discharge, or voltage and current, but is often unable to effectively address other battery performance metrics, such as SOC, communication protocol, and Bluetooth functionality. This limitation makes it impossible to fully evaluate multiple battery properties during testing, hindering the provision of sufficient data support for battery R&D and production.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the power supply management module is arranged between the battery device and the external power supply to provide power support for the entire battery automation test system. The test module is in communication connection with the battery device, and is mainly used to test the communication performance of the battery device in a wired or wireless communication environment, to ensure that the communication connection between the battery device and other external devices in actual application scenarios is stable and reliable. One end of the instruction processing module is in communication connection with the host computer, and the other end is in communication connection with the power supply management module and the test module respectively.

[0054] In this way, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the battery automation testing system provided in this embodiment can realize the collaborative work of multiple modules, automatically control the testing process, improve the efficiency and accuracy of battery performance detection, meet the testing needs of different types of battery equipment in diverse application scenarios, and has good application promotion value.

[0055] As a possible implementation, Figure 1 See on the basis of Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of another battery automation testing system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown in , in another battery automation test system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the power supply management module includes a power supply unit and a load control unit, and the test module includes a communication test unit and an interface test unit.

[0057] Specifically, the power supply unit is connected to an external power supply to provide a stable power supply for the battery automation test system; the load control unit is connected to the load and communicates with the battery device to connect and remove the load according to the control operation of the instruction processing module based on the test instruction to simulate the working status of the battery device under different working conditions.

[0058] Here, the power supply unit is connected to an external power supply to provide a stable power supply for the battery automation test system; the load control unit is connected to the load and communicates with the battery device, and is used to connect and remove the load according to the control operation of the instruction processing module based on the test instruction to simulate the working status of the battery device under different working conditions.

[0059] The power supply unit can adjust output voltage and current parameters based on different test requirements to ensure that the power output during the test meets system operating requirements and avoid test anomalies or equipment damage caused by voltage instability or power interruptions. Preferably, the power supply unit can integrate safety mechanisms such as overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, and short-circuit protection to further enhance the operational safety and reliability of the system.

[0060] The load control unit is connected to the load and communicates with the battery device. It dynamically adjusts the load state based on the control operations issued by the instruction processing module based on the test instructions. This includes controlling the connection and removal of the load to simulate the battery device's operating conditions under different operating conditions. This function simulates the actual operating conditions of the battery device under different scenarios such as full load, partial load, and no load during the test process, comprehensively evaluating the battery's performance under various operating conditions and improving the authenticity and reference value of the test results.

[0061] The load control unit dynamically adjusts the load connection and removal status based on the test instructions issued by the instruction processing module, thereby simulating various operating conditions of battery equipment in actual applications. These include but are not limited to: full load conditions, which simulate the operating state of battery equipment under high power output conditions; partial load conditions, which simulate the performance of battery equipment in medium and low power demand scenarios; and no-load conditions, which test the electrical performance and communication stability of battery equipment in a no-load state.

[0062] Furthermore, the load control unit can support the access of various types of load devices, such as: electronic load modules, which are used to simulate various current and voltage load conditions with high precision; programmable load units, which support flexible adjustment of load parameters according to different test scenarios; and multiple independently controlled load branches, which are suitable for the joint testing needs of multi-cell batteries or multi-channel systems.

[0063] At the same time, the load control unit can monitor the battery operating status parameters such as voltage, current, temperature and other information in real time through communication connection with the battery equipment. Combined with the dynamic adjustment of the external load, closed-loop control can be achieved to further improve the intelligence level and safety of the test system.

[0064] In this way, through the coordinated design of the power supply unit and the load control unit, the actual working state of the battery equipment in a complex application environment can be effectively simulated, the accuracy and reliability of the test data can be ensured, and the overall performance and applicability of the battery automation test system can be further improved.

[0065] The power supply unit and the load control unit in this embodiment work together to not only provide a stable and reliable power supply for the entire test system, but also reproduce the actual state of the battery equipment under different working conditions through dynamic load simulation, greatly enriching the test scenarios, improving the applicability of the test system and the accuracy of the data, and meeting the performance testing requirements of batteries of various models and specifications. It is particularly suitable for automated and intelligent testing applications in large-scale production environments.

[0066] Specifically, the communication test unit is connected to the battery device and the instruction processing module, simulating wireless or wired communication between the battery device and external devices, and testing the battery device's communication performance under varying signal strengths and interference conditions. The interface test unit is connected to the battery device and to each module in the automated battery test system, simulating actual data input and output to verify that data exchange between modules in the automated battery test system, and between the automated battery test system and the battery device, is carried out in accordance with the test instructions.

[0067] In this embodiment, the test module in the battery automation test system includes a communication test unit and an interface test unit, which work together to comprehensively test and verify the communication performance of the battery device and the stability of data interaction within the system.

[0068] Here, the communication test unit is respectively connected to the battery device and the instruction processing module for communication, and is mainly used to simulate the wireless or wired communication process between the battery device and the external device, and to test the communication performance of the battery device under different signal strengths and interference environments.

[0069] Specifically, the communication test unit can simulate wireless communication environments including but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee through the built-in wireless signal module, and test the communication stability and data transmission efficiency of the battery equipment under conditions such as signal strength changes, the presence of wireless interference, and different transmission distances. At the same time, the communication test unit can also simulate wired communication processes such as CAN bus, serial ports (such as RS232, RS485), and Ethernet through wired connections to detect the communication response speed, signal integrity, and data transmission reliability of the battery equipment under different physical links.

[0070] Preferably, the communication test unit can also support functions such as multiple interference signal injection, channel switching, and data packet loss rate statistics, further expanding the ability to evaluate the stability of battery equipment in complex communication environments, ensuring the high reliability and good compatibility of battery equipment in actual applications.

[0071] As a possible implementation method, the communication test unit is specifically used to: simulate the data exchange between the battery device and the external device via wireless means, and test the communication performance of the battery device under different signal strength and interference environments; simulate the data exchange between the battery device and the external device and between the external devices via wired means, and check the response speed, signal stability and transmission efficiency when the battery is connected to the external device.

[0072] In specific implementations, the communication test unit is used to simulate wireless data exchange between the battery device and an external device. Through this function, the communication test unit can reproduce the working state of the battery device in a real wireless communication environment, and test the communication performance of the battery device under different signal strengths, different distances, and different interference sources (such as other wireless devices, electromagnetic interference, etc.). Specifically, it tests key indicators such as data transmission stability, bit error rate, packet loss rate, and connection maintenance ability, ensuring that the battery device has good wireless communication reliability and environmental adaptability.

[0073] On the other hand, the communication test unit is also used to simulate data exchange between the battery device and the external device through a wired method. The wired method may include but is not limited to standard or customized communication interfaces such as CAN bus, serial interface (such as RS232, RS485), Ethernet interface, USB interface, etc. Through this function, the communication test unit can detect the response speed, signal stability and data transmission efficiency of the battery device when establishing a wired connection with the external device, focusing on the connection reliability and communication quality of the system under different transmission rates, line lengths or external interference conditions.

[0074] Here, the communication test unit can also work in conjunction with the load control unit and the interface test unit to monitor the communication performance of the battery equipment in real time during dynamic load switching, interface switching or changes in the interference environment, simulate complex and extreme working conditions, ensure that the test data is comprehensive and true, and improve the applicability and stability of the battery equipment in complex application scenarios.

[0075] Furthermore, the interface test unit is respectively communicated with the battery equipment and each functional module in the battery automation test system, and is mainly used to simulate the input and output process of actual data to verify whether the data interaction between the modules within the system and between the system and the battery equipment operates normally according to the requirements indicated by the test instructions.

[0076] During implementation, the interface test unit simulates a variety of standard or custom input and output signals, including I / O interface signals, cascade interface data, internal device status data, and simulated fault or abnormal signal inputs. Through these simulations, the interface test unit monitors signal transmission paths between modules, data exchange accuracy, and system response time in real time, ensuring the overall functional integrity and connection stability of the test system.

[0077] The optional interface test unit supports parallel testing of multiple interface types and rates, adapting to different battery device models and specifications and testing requirements, thereby expanding the system's applicability and scalability. Furthermore, the interface test unit can work in conjunction with the communication test unit to verify interface stability during communication, comprehensively improving the systematization and reliability of the test.

[0078] In this way, through the above design, the communication test unit and the interface test unit work together to not only effectively evaluate the performance of battery equipment in different complex communication environments, but also comprehensively verify the connection relationship and interface functions within the system, thereby improving the test depth, accuracy and intelligence level of the battery automation test system, and meeting the testing needs in large-scale production environments and high-standard application scenarios.

The device can configure different test parameters according to the requirements of different battery types and usage scenarios to ensure that each test is performed under optimal working conditions.

[0080] Next, a battery automation test method disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail. The battery automation test method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the above Figure 1-Figure 2 The instruction processing module in any battery automation test system may be a computer device with certain computing capabilities. In some possible implementations, the battery automation test method may be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in a memory.

[0081] See also Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a battery automation testing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the method includes steps S101 to S104, wherein:

[0082] S101 , establishing a communication connection with the host computer, and receiving the test instruction input by the user through the host computer.

[0084] S103: Execute the test instruction according to the test configuration file and the test mode, control the power supply management module to adjust the load state, control the test module to adjust the communication and interface, and collect test data corresponding to the battery device.

[0085] S104: Collect the test data fed back by the test module and send it to the host computer for display to the user.

[0086] In a specific implementation, when starting the test, correctly connect all wiring harnesses, initialize the battery automation test system, start the battery automation test system to perform basic hardware checks, and ensure that all components are operating normally. Check whether the battery connection and related test equipment are ready. Establish a communication connection with the host computer. Specifically, the instruction processing module exchanges data with the host computer through a preset communication interface. Preferably, the communication interface can be in the form of a serial communication interface, a network interface, a USB interface, etc., to ensure a stable and reliable data transmission channel between the system and the host computer.

[0087] Here, after the communication connection is established, the system receives test instructions input by the user through the host computer. Based on the actual test requirements, the user can select or enter corresponding test instructions through the host computer operation interface. The test instructions include but are not limited to operation commands such as starting the test, mode switching, parameter adjustment, data collection, and result generation. The system receives and interprets the test instructions in real time through the instruction processing module.

[0088] Among them, users can select the corresponding test configuration file and the corresponding test mode according to the battery type and target to be tested, and use the login command to match the equipment. The test system is compatible with different models of test equipment and supports customized equipment access and configuration.

[0089] Subsequently, based on the user's pre-set test requirements, a test configuration file is selected to match the model of the battery device being tested. This test configuration file defines the test parameters, test process, and execution strategy for different battery models and specifications. Once the test configuration file is determined, the corresponding test mode is automatically matched based on the configuration file content. Test modes include but are not limited to standard test mode, enhanced test mode, and customized test mode to meet different test depth and scenario requirements.

[0090] After the test mode is determined, the test instructions issued by the user are executed, including: controlling the power supply management module to adjust the load state of the battery equipment to simulate the actual working state of the battery under different working conditions; controlling the test module to perform communication tests and interface tests to comprehensively evaluate the communication performance, interface functions and internal connection stability of the battery equipment; collecting the corresponding test data of the battery equipment obtained by the test module in each test link. The test data includes but is not limited to information such as voltage, current, temperature, communication status, interface response, etc.

[0091] Here, based on test requirements, the host computer uses relevant commands to adjust the power load status, battery temperature, test tool IO port status, and communication interface information transmission and reception to meet the test conditions of the battery equipment under different test conditions. This test system is equipped with multiple types of serial communication interfaces and physical interfaces to meet various communication and interface tests. The system is highly scalable and can add new functional modules or connect to new devices as needed to ensure the system can adapt to future developments.

[0092] Finally, the test data fed back by the test module is collected and sorted, and then sent to the host computer. The user can intuitively view the test process information and result data through the display interface of the host computer, which facilitates timely analysis of the performance status of the battery equipment and conducts quality assessment, performance optimization or troubleshooting based on the test results.

[0093] As a possible implementation mode, the test mode includes a single-step execution mode and an automatic execution mode. For the single-step execution mode, the power supply management module and the test module are controlled to execute the test instructions in a single-step manner, and after the execution is completed, the test is exited or the battery device is replaced to continue to execute the test instructions in a single-step manner; for the automatic execution mode, the power supply management module and the test module are controlled to execute all the test items contained in the test configuration file in sequence, and after the execution is completed, the test instructions are re-executed or the test is exited and the battery device is replaced according to the user's selection operation through the upper computer.

[0094] In specific implementations, multiple test modes are supported, including but not limited to single-step execution mode and automatic execution mode, to meet different test requirements and operation scenarios.

[0095] In the single-step execution mode, upon receiving the corresponding test command input by the user through the host computer, the power management module and the test module are controlled to execute the corresponding test operation in a single step. Specifically, according to the test command, the power management module is controlled to perform a one-time load adjustment operation on the battery device; the test module is controlled to complete a single communication test and interface test; and the data obtained during this test is collected and fed back.

[0096] Here, after the test operation is completed, the current test process is automatically exited. The user can choose to directly exit the test and end the operation as needed; replace the battery device, connect the new battery to be tested, and continue to execute the test instructions one by one in single-step execution mode, so that the user can perform flexible and manually controlled test operations on multiple devices or multiple groups of parameters.

[0097] Compared with the automatic execution mode, the single-step execution mode is suitable for individual function verification that requires manual intervention, step-by-step debugging, or special working conditions, and has higher operational flexibility and targeting.

[0098] In the automatic execution mode, the power management module and test module are automatically controlled according to the test configuration file and test mode pre-selected by the user, and all test items included in the test configuration file are executed in sequence. During the test process, the following can be automatically completed: switching and adjusting different load states; multiple rounds of communication testing and interface function testing; and automatic collection and storage of test data at each stage.

[0099] Here, in automatic execution mode, multiple test operations can be completed efficiently and continuously, greatly improving test efficiency and data integrity. It is suitable for mass production, routine inspections, or standardized test processes. In automatic execution mode, after all tests are completed, the test process can be automatically re-executed based on the user's selection on the host computer, which is suitable for multiple rounds of continuous testing. Exiting the current test process and replacing a new battery device facilitates rapid switching of batch test operations.
