Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular relates to a crane circuit fault diagnosis system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Crane fault detection and diagnosis are currently mostly achieved through controller port diagnostics (analog input, digital input, control signal output, etc.). Fault codes are issued by the controller and transmitted to the display via CAN bus signals, realizing fault diagnosis functions for relevant control signal lines. However, it lacks fault detection and diagnosis functions for anomalies in non-control signals and related lines (lines not connected to the controller, such as power supply signals for various electrical appliances, operator cab I / O signals, etc.), limiting the detection range. Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] The number of input / output ports on the controller can be expanded. The number of controller ports can be configured according to the crane's electrical requirements to extend the diagnostic capabilities for some non-control signals. However, diagnosing non-control signals by expanding controller ports is costly and the number of expansion ports is limited, preventing its widespread adoption in crane products. Most non-control signals still need to be directly connected to the equipment via wiring harnesses. Abnormal signal states cannot be detected or diagnosed, making it impossible to detect and alert users to issues such as misoperation, power supply line abnormalities, or wiring harness connection problems. Summary of the Invention

By adding non-control signal circuit detection points inside the control box, the detection point signals enter the detection module, and the central processing unit of the detection module generates fault codes according to the pre-set diagnostic logic and transmits them to the display, thereby covering the diagnosis of the entire circuit inside the control box and improving the crane fault diagnosis capability.

[0034] Preset fault modes; the fault modes include fault codes, fault descriptions, detection point status, and solutions;

[0035] Receive signal data collected by each detection line transmitted via the CAN bus;

[0036] Based on the received signal data, a query is performed from the preset fault modes to match the fault cause and solution.
