Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy trucks, and in particular to an online detection system, equipment and storage medium for a battery swap controller. Background Art

[0002] A battery swap controller needs to be installed on the battery swap vehicle to collect vehicle-related data, and to exchange signals with the battery swap station to control the action of the locking mechanism to support the vehicle in completing the battery swap. However, the OEM is currently unable to test the function of the battery swap controller. Once there are quality problems with the battery swap controller, faulty vehicles will flow into the market, resulting in large losses. If a complete functional test of the battery swap controller is to be performed, the OEM needs to build a station control system, which will cost millions of yuan and occupy dozens of square meters of testing space. The current common practice of OEMs is to ask battery swap controller manufacturers to provide test reports, certificates of conformity and other documents. This approach cannot completely solve this problem.

[0003] Building a simple battery swap station specifically for functional testing of battery swap controllers requires too much investment and is not economical. The OEM tests the "consciousness" of component manufacturers by requiring them to provide test reports and certificates. Even if all components are qualified when leaving the factory, transportation and loading and unloading may cause damage to the components. If the OEM's pre-production inspection is missing, the faulty parts will flow directly into the market. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention is how to implement functional testing of the battery swap controller before it leaves the factory.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for online detection of a battery swap controller is provided, comprising:

[0006] After establishing a wireless connection with the battery swap controller installed on the heavy truck, the PC receives the first status information of the heavy truck sent by the battery swap controller;

[0007] The PC generates a simulated battery swapping operation instruction according to the first status information, sends the simulated battery swapping operation instruction to the battery swapping controller, and receives a simulated battery swapping operation result returned by the battery swapping controller according to the simulated battery swapping operation instruction;

[0008] When the simulated battery swap operation is successful, the PC obtains the second status information of the heavy truck and detects whether the battery swap controller has successfully swapped the battery based on the second status information.

[0009] An online detection system for a battery swap controller provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized by comprising:

[0010] The battery swap controller is configured to obtain first status information and second status information of the heavy truck after establishing a wireless connection with the PC, and send the first status information and the second status information to the PC, and send a simulated battery swap operation result to the PC according to the simulated battery swap operation instruction;

[0011] The PC side is used to establish a wireless connection with the battery swap controller installed on the heavy-duty truck, receive the first status information of the heavy-duty truck sent by the battery swap controller, generate a simulated battery swap operation instruction based on the first status information, and send the simulated battery swap operation instruction to the battery swap controller, receive the simulated battery swap operation result returned by the battery swap controller based on the simulated battery swap operation instruction, and when the simulated battery swap operation result is successful, the PC side obtains the second status information of the heavy-duty truck, and detects whether the battery swap controller has successfully swapped batteries based on the second status information.

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described below are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0018] The present invention is applicable to engineering machinery vehicles such as battery-swap heavy trucks / loaders / mining trucks, and various functional tests of the battery-swap controller are completed at the main engine factory's testing station.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of an online detection method for a battery swap controller provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 Shown, including:

[0020] Step S101: After establishing a wireless connection with a battery swap controller installed on a heavy truck, the PC receives first status information of the heavy truck sent by the battery swap controller;

[0021] Step S102: the PC generates a simulated battery swapping operation instruction according to the first status information, sends the simulated battery swapping operation instruction to the battery swapping controller, and receives a simulated battery swapping operation result returned by the battery swapping controller according to the simulated battery swapping operation instruction;

[0022] Step S103: When the simulated battery swap operation is successful, the PC obtains the second status information of the heavy truck and detects whether the battery swap controller has successfully swapped the battery based on the second status information.

[0023] The PC terminal generates a simulated battery swap operation instruction based on the first status information, including: the PC terminal determines whether the heavy truck meets the battery swap conditions based on the first status information; when it is determined that the heavy truck meets the battery swap conditions, the PC terminal generates a simulated battery swap operation instruction. Specifically, when the first status information indicates that the vehicle is in neutral, parked, the battery swap connector is connected normally, the temperature is normal, the battery swap controller fault code is "00", and the correct VIN and battery system SN code are received, it is determined that the vehicle meets the battery swap conditions.

[0024] Specifically, the simulated battery swap operation instruction includes: a battery swap unlock instruction for the battery swap controller to control the battery swap unlocking structure to perform an unlocking action, and a battery swap locking instruction for the battery swap controller to control the battery swap unlocking structure to perform a locking action. Among them, the PC side sends the simulated battery swap operation instruction to the battery swap controller, and receives the simulated battery swap operation result returned by the battery swap controller according to the simulated battery swap operation instruction, including: the PC side sends the battery swap unlock instruction to the battery swap controller, receives the unlocking status of the battery swap unlocking structure returned by the battery swap controller, and starts a timer for timing; when the timer reaches a preset time, the PC sends the battery swap locking instruction to the battery swap controller, and receives the locked status of the battery swap unlocking structure returned by the battery swap controller.

[0025] Among them, the PC end obtains the second status information of the heavy truck, and detects whether the battery swap controller has successfully swapped batteries based on the second status information, including: the PC end receives the second status information of the heavy truck sent by the battery swap controller by sending a heavy truck status request to the battery swap controller; the PC end queries whether the second status information contains abnormal data based on the second status information; when the query shows that the second status information does not contain abnormal data, the PC end detects that the battery swap controller has successfully swapped batteries. Specifically, when the second status information shows that the vehicle status is neutral, parking, the battery swap connector is connected normally, the temperature is normal, the battery swap controller fault code is "00", and the correct VIN and battery system SN code are received, the query shows that the second status information does not contain abnormal data.

[0026] Specifically, the status information includes at least the connection status of the battery swap connector and the fault status of the battery swap controller.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an online detection system for a battery swap controller provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a battery swap controller 201, which is used to establish a wireless connection with the PC side, respectively obtain the first status information and the second status information of the heavy-duty truck, and send the first status information and the second status information to the PC side, and send a simulated battery swap operation result to the PC side according to the simulated battery swap operation instruction; the PC side 202 is used to establish a wireless connection with the battery swap controller installed on the heavy-duty truck, receive the first status information of the heavy-duty truck sent by the battery swap controller, generate a simulated battery swap operation instruction according to the first status information, and send the simulated battery swap operation instruction to the battery swap controller, receive the simulated battery swap operation result returned by the battery swap controller according to the simulated battery swap operation instruction, and when the simulated battery swap operation result is successful, the PC side obtains the second status information of the heavy-duty truck, and detects whether the battery swap controller has successfully swapped batteries according to the second status information.

[0028] Specifically, the PC terminal 202 is specifically used to determine whether the heavy-duty truck meets the battery replacement conditions based on the first status information, and to generate a simulated battery replacement operation instruction when it is determined that the heavy-duty truck meets the battery replacement conditions.

[0029] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a memory; a processor; and a computer program; wherein the computer program is stored in the memory and is configured to be executed by the processor to implement an online detection method for a battery swap controller.

[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored; the computer program is executed by a processor to implement an online detection method for a battery swap controller.

[0031] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of the battery swap controller detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 Shown, including:

[0032] Step 301: After the battery swap controller device self-test is completed, the vehicle ACC is disconnected, and the battery swap controller starts WIFI and connects to the PC through the router;

[0033] Step 302: After successfully connecting to the PC, the battery swap controller uploads the current vehicle status information to the PC;

[0034] Among them, the current vehicle status information includes: vehicle status, parking status, battery swap controller fault status, battery swap connector status, temperature information, vehicle VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), battery system SN (System Number), etc.

[0035] Step 303: When the PC receives the information uploaded by the vehicle and determines that the current vehicle status meets the battery replacement conditions, the PC issues a vehicle-side battery replacement unlocking instruction, the battery replacement controller controls the battery replacement unlocking mechanism to complete the unlocking action, and feeds back the unlocking status to the PC. After the PC receives the unlocking information, it waits for 3 minutes (the time can be calibrated) and issues a locking instruction, the battery replacement controller controls the battery replacement unlocking mechanism to complete the locking action, and feeds back the locking status to the PC.

[0036] Among them, when it is detected that the vehicle status is neutral, parked, the battery swap connector is connected normally, the temperature is normal (not exceeding 80°C), the battery swap controller fault code is "00", and the correct VIN code and battery system SN code are received (the VIN code and SN code received on the PC side are compared with the data pre-stored in the database to determine whether they are correct VIN code and battery system SN code), the vehicle is judged to meet the battery swap conditions; if at least one of the information is abnormal, the vehicle is judged to not meet the battery swap conditions.

[0037] Step 304: The PC needs to obtain the vehicle status information again. After receiving the correct vehicle status information (the vehicle is in neutral, parked state, the battery swap connector is connected normally, the temperature is normal, the battery swap controller fault code is "00", and the correct VIN and battery system SN code are received), the PC determines that the battery swap process is completed and returns the battery swap success result to the battery swap controller. The PC displays the "Battery swap successful" interface prompt.

[0038] Step 305: When the battery swap controller receives the return result from the PC confirming that the battery swap is successful, the vehicle logs out, completing the entire battery swap communication interaction process.

[0039] According to the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a simple tool is designed to replace the station control and communicate with the battery swap controller, simulating the entire battery swap process and implementing functional testing of the battery swap controller. This also effectively solves the problem of large investment required by OEMs.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, it is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications based on the principles of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications made based on the principles of the present invention should be understood to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
