Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electromagnetic compatibility testing, specifically to an electromagnetic compatibility performance testing device and method for a motor controller. Background Technology
[0002] Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of a device or system to operate within its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable electromagnetic interference to any other equipment in that environment. Therefore, EMC requirements include two aspects: firstly, the electromagnetic interference generated by the device during normal operation must not exceed certain limits; secondly, the device must have a certain degree of immunity to electromagnetic interference present in its environment. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is crucial, especially in motor controllers. While existing motor controllers undergo EMC performance testing during production, current testing equipment has several limitations: 1. It cannot simultaneously test four motor controllers for different performance characteristics, often only testing one controller at a time. This is inefficient, slow, and lacks flexibility. 2. It cannot provide real-time updates on the controller's motor drive operation, relying on single-function testing without considering practical applications, thus failing to rule out potential faults. 3. Existing EMC testing equipment is severely affected by environmental factors, impacting testing accuracy and making it inconvenient for users. Therefore, this paper presents an EMC performance testing device and method for motor controllers. Summary of the Invention

[0033] A testing method for an electromagnetic compatibility performance testing device for a motor controller, comprising the following specific steps:
[0034] S1: Connect the power supply to the hydraulic oil pump 11 and the lighting board 9 via the control switch on the control panel 13, so that the hydraulic oil pump 11 works to supply oil to the hydraulic cylinder 25, thereby opening the test box doors 15 on test boxes A1, B2, C3 and D4, and allowing the motor controller test board 16 on the test box door 15 to extend out from the test boxes A1, B2, C3 and D4 in sequence;
[0035] S2: Place the four motor controllers 23 sequentially on the motor controller detection boards 16 in the detection boxes A1, B2, C3 and D4, and connect them to the first wiring board 18 by plugging them in. Then, use the hydraulic oil pump 11 to pump the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cylinder 25 into the hydraulic oil tank, thereby retracting the motor controller detection board 16 on the detection box door 15 into the detection box and sealing it with the sealing gasket 17.
[0036] S3: Power on the first terminal block 18 is turned on via the control switch on the control panel 13, allowing the motor controller 23 to transmit control signals to the motor 21 through the first terminal block 18 and the second terminal block 19, controlling the motor 21 to work.

The motor controllers on the motor controller test boards 16 are moved to the next position in clockwise order and wired. Then, a second test is performed. Each motor controller needs to be tested four times in this way. After the test is completed, another batch of four motor controllers can be replaced for testing. The harmonic current tester 5, lightning surge tester 6, electrical fast transient burst tester 7, and damped oscillation wave tester 8 can transmit the information of each test to the display screen of the control panel 13 for easy viewing by the staff.
[0038] This testing equipment can simultaneously test four motor controllers for different performance characteristics. This method significantly improves testing efficiency, requiring only four tests to complete the testing of four controllers' four performance characteristics, several times more efficient than single-testing. The equipment provides real-time monitoring of the motor controllers' motor drive status, allowing for effective troubleshooting of controllers in practical applications. If a problem is found with the controller's control system, testing can be stopped and the controller returned to the factory for repair, saving testing time. The equipment uses four insulated testing boxes, ensuring no interference between them during testing, improving testing effectiveness and accuracy, and simplifying operation. Replacing and wiring the motor controllers is extremely simple and convenient. Replacement utilizes fully automatic extension and reset, while wiring employs a plug-in method, improving replacement efficiency and overall testing efficiency.
[0039] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
