[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] In this application, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. The terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0060] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of an inverter alarm method provided in an embodiment of this application, which can be applied to the electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle and includes the following steps.

[0061] S101: Receive the drive signal sent by the inverter to the alarm module.

[0062] The alarm module can indicate the inverter's operating status through drive signals.

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, when the inverter is in an abnormal working state due to a fault, the inverter will perform a self-test to obtain the fault parameters corresponding to the fault, and generate a drive signal based on the drive parameters corresponding to the fault parameters. Then the inverter will send the drive signal to the alarm module, and the alarm module will prompt the inverter to be in an abnormal working state through the drive signal.

[0064] It should be noted that the alarm module shown in the embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, indicator lights and buzzers.

[0065] S102: Detect the drive signal to obtain the target drive parameters.

[0066] Among them, the driving signal includes, but is not limited to, voltage signal. Accordingly, the voltage signal is detected, and the target driving parameter obtained can be the duty cycle of the voltage signal. Specifically, the duty cycle of the voltage signal is obtained by detecting the duty cycle of the voltage signal. The so-called duty cycle refers to the percentage of the time that the alarm module is powered on in the entire inverter working cycle.

[0067] Optionally, after detecting the drive signal and obtaining the target drive parameters, the operating state of the inverter can be determined based on the target drive parameters.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the operating state of the inverter includes either a normal operating state or an abnormal operating state.

[0069] Optionally, if the target drive parameter is greater than the threshold, the inverter is determined to be in an abnormal operating state; if the target drive parameter is not greater than the threshold, the inverter is determined to be in a normal operating state. Specifically, taking the target duty cycle as the target drive parameter and setting the threshold to 0%, if the target duty cycle is greater than 0%, the inverter is determined to be in an abnormal operating state; if the target duty cycle is equal to 0%, the inverter is determined to be in a normal operating state.

[0070] For indicator lights as alarm modules, if it is determined that the inverter is in an abnormal working state, the display parameters of the indicator lights (such as brightness, flashing frequency, etc.) can be controlled to correspond to the target driving parameters, thereby improving the practicality and fun of the indicator lights and enriching the user experience.

[0071] Understandably, by controlling the display parameters of the indicator lights to correspond with the target drive parameters, the indicator lights can display the alarm effects corresponding to the target drive parameters. The outside world can intuitively understand the cause of the fault that caused the inverter to be in an abnormal working state through different alarm effects.

[0072] For the buzzer as an alarm module, if it is determined that the inverter is in an abnormal working state, the audio parameters of the buzzer (such as volume, frequency, etc.) can be controlled to correspond to the target driving parameters, thereby improving the practicality and fun of the buzzer and enriching the user experience.

[0073] Understandably, by controlling the audio parameters of the buzzer to correspond with the target drive parameters, the buzzer can display the alarm effect corresponding to the target drive parameters. The outside world can intuitively understand the cause of the fault that caused the inverter to be in an abnormal working state through different alarm effects.

[0074] S103: Based on the correspondence between drive parameters and fault parameters, determine the target fault parameters corresponding to the target drive parameters.

[0075] The fault parameters indicate the causes of inverter malfunctions. Specifically, the causes of inverter malfunctions include, but are not limited to: ACC signal malfunction, input power supply malfunction, temperature malfunction, load malfunction, output short circuit protection malfunction, and output leakage protection malfunction.

[0076] To ensure that the cause of the inverter malfunction can be quickly and intuitively identified during subsequent troubleshooting, the target fault parameters are saved.

[0077] Optionally, based on the target fault parameters, an anomaly log is generated and stored in a designated storage area. Using the anomaly log in the designated storage area can effectively improve the inverter's maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the designated storage area includes, but is not limited to, the cloud, mobile terminals, and on-board storage devices.

[0078] Furthermore, to facilitate timely handling by users and improve the efficiency of inverter fault repair, corresponding fault solutions can be determined based on the target fault parameters, and the fault solutions can be displayed to users to enrich the user experience.

[0079] Optionally, the target fault parameters can be sent to the cloud so that the cloud can provide feedback on the processing information corresponding to the target fault parameters, including the fault solution for the inverter; and the processing information can be displayed.

[0080] Generally speaking, processing information and target fault parameters can be displayed on the same screen and stored in the same storage area.

[0081] S104: Displays the target fault parameters.

[0082] The channels for displaying target fault parameters include, but are not limited to, in-vehicle multimedia systems and mobile terminals.

[0083] It should be noted that by displaying the target fault parameters, the efficiency of inverter fault diagnosis can be improved, the time cost for users to repair faults can be reduced, and thus the user experience can be improved.

[0084] Based on the process shown in S101-S104 above, the alarm module prompts the inverter's operating status and determines the target fault parameters based on the drive signal. This enables the system to display the cause of the inverter's abnormality to the outside world when the inverter is in an abnormal operating state, so that the user can handle it in a timely manner.

[0085] To facilitate understanding of the processes shown in S101-S104 above, this application elaborates on the operation of the inverter alarm system. Specifically, the inverter alarm system is applied to a vehicle and includes an inverter, indicator lights (the drive signal required by these indicator lights is a 12V voltage signal with pulse width modulation and a frequency of 100Hz, and the indicator lights display both green and red lights), a controller, and a display screen, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the indicator light is electrically connected to the inverter, the inverter is connected to the controller, and the controller is connected to the display screen. (See also...) Figure 2 The system architecture shown can be used to implement the following steps by an inverter alarm system.

[0086] Step 1: When the inverter is in normal working condition, the inverter sends the first drive signal corresponding to the green indicator light to the indicator light.

[0087] Step 2: Based on the first driving signal, the indicator light sets its display effect to the green indicator light.

[0088] Step 3: The controller detects the first drive signal to obtain the first drive parameters.

[0089] Step 4: Based on the correspondence between the drive parameters and the fault parameters, the controller determines the first fault parameter corresponding to the first drive parameter.

[0090] Step 5: The display screen shows the first fault parameters sent by the display controller.

[0091] Step 6: When the inverter is in an abnormal working state, the inverter sends the second drive signal corresponding to the red indicator light to the indicator light.

[0092] Step 7: Based on the second driving signal, the indicator light sets its own display effect to the red indicator light.

[0093] Step 8: The controller detects the obtained second drive signal to obtain the second drive parameters.

[0094] Step 9: Based on the correspondence between the drive parameters and the fault parameters, the controller determines the second fault parameter corresponding to the second drive parameter.

[0095] Step 10: The display screen shows the second fault parameter sent by the controller.

[0096] It should be noted that the correspondence between the driving parameters and fault parameters mentioned in the above steps can be found in Table 1.
