[0066] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of the fault diagnosis device involved in the embodiments of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0067] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0068] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a method for diagnosing fault causes.

[0070] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the fault cause diagnosis method of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the methods for diagnosing fault causes include:

[0071] Step S10: When there is an abnormal shaft with abnormal descent, troubleshoot each component that causes the abnormal descent in sequence according to the preset detection order. The preset detection order is to first troubleshoot the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft. If the pressure relief valve is not faulty, troubleshoot the entire air circuit. If the entire air circuit is faulty, troubleshoot the air pump.

[0072] In this embodiment, the example uses axles including the front and rear axles. During the process of controlling the front axle's descent, it is detected whether the front axle is an abnormal axle with abnormal descent. Similarly, during the process of controlling the rear axle's descent, it is detected whether the rear axle is an abnormal axle with abnormal descent. The process of controlling the front axle's descent is equivalent to controlling the deflation of the air springs associated with the front axle; similarly, the process of controlling the rear axle's descent is equivalent to controlling the deflation of the air springs associated with the rear axle. If the front axle's descent is abnormal, it indicates an abnormal deflation of the air springs associated with the front axle; if the rear axle's descent is abnormal, it indicates an abnormal deflation of the air springs associated with the rear axle; if the deflation of the air springs associated with either the front or rear axle is abnormal, it indicates an abnormality in the air suspension system, thus requiring fault diagnosis. Furthermore, it is easy to understand that when either axle descents abnormally, it will cause uneven vehicle height, seriously affecting driving safety. Therefore, when an abnormal axle is detected, fault diagnosis can help resolve the fault more quickly and ensure driving safety.

[0073] Taking the front axle as an example, after triggering the command to lower the front axle by N millimeters, a timer begins. When the timer reaches X seconds, it checks whether the front axle has lowered by N millimeters. If it has, the front axle is considered to have lowered normally and is a normal axle. Conversely, if the front axle has not lowered by N millimeters after X seconds, it is considered to be an abnormal axle. The rear axle is judged in the same way as the front axle, and will not be elaborated here.

[0074] The relationship between descent height and duration is established beforehand. For example, for a vehicle with a normal air suspension system, the time required for the front / rear axle to descend to different heights is recorded. For each height, the experiment is repeated multiple times, resulting in multiple durations for that height. The longest duration is taken as the duration for that height. This process is repeated for each height to obtain the relationship between descent height and duration. Of course, this process can be performed on multiple vehicles with normal air suspension systems to obtain a more representative relationship between descent height and duration, thus avoiding misjudging a normal axle as an abnormal axle with abnormal descent.

[0075] When an abnormal shaft is identified as exhibiting descent anomalies, further troubleshooting of the individual components causing the anomaly is required. For example, if the front shaft is the abnormal shaft, components causing the abnormal descent of the front shaft include the air pump, the gas pipeline between the air pump and the front shaft, the pressure relief valve corresponding to the front shaft, the pressure holding valve corresponding to the front shaft, and so on. It is evident that many components can cause abnormal shaft descent. If the troubleshooting sequence is unreasonable, it will lead to an inability to quickly determine the cause of the fault, or even to correctly determine the cause. Therefore, in this embodiment, the components causing the descent anomalies are troubleshooted sequentially according to a preset detection order. This preset detection order can effectively improve the efficiency and effectiveness of troubleshooting.

[0076] The preset detection sequence is to first check the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft. If the pressure relief valve is not faulty, then check the entire air circuit. If the entire air circuit is faulty, then check the air pump.

[0077] It should be noted that when the pressure relief valve is faulty, the troubleshooting is completed and no further troubleshooting actions are taken; when there is no fault in the gas circuit as a whole, the troubleshooting is completed and no further troubleshooting actions are taken.

[0078] Step S20: Based on the investigation results, output the cause of the fault.

[0079] In this embodiment, the preset detection order is to detect component A first, then component B, and finally component C. That is, component A is detected first. If component A is faulty, the result is "Component A is faulty," and the cause of the fault is output. If component A is not faulty, component B is detected. If component B is faulty, the result is "Component B is faulty," and the cause of the fault is output. If component B is not faulty, component C is detected. If component C is faulty, the result is "Component C is faulty," and the cause of the fault is output.

[0080] In this embodiment, when an abnormal shaft descent occurs, the components causing the abnormal descent are checked sequentially according to a preset detection order; based on the results, the cause of the fault is output. This embodiment enables the diagnosis of faults causing abnormal shaft descent, quickly and accurately determining the cause without the need for specialized diagnostic instruments, thus saving diagnostic costs.

[0081] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of sequentially troubleshooting each component causing the abnormal drop according to a preset detection order includes:

[0082] Check if the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft is faulty;

[0083] If the pressure relief valve is not faulty, then check whether there is a fault in the entire air circuit, wherein the entire air circuit includes the air pump and the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump;

[0084] If there is no fault in the overall air circuit, then the pressure holding valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft is faulty;

[0085] If there is a fault in the entire air circuit, check if the air pump is faulty;

[0086] If the air pump is not faulty, then it is determined that there is a fault in the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump.

[0087] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 A detailed flowchart of step S10. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 As shown, first check if the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft is faulty. If the pressure relief valve is faulty, the troubleshooting process ends. If the pressure relief valve is not faulty, further check if there is a fault in the entire air circuit. If there is no fault in the entire air circuit, it can be directly determined that the pressure holding valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft is faulty, and the troubleshooting process ends. If there is a fault in the entire air circuit, since the entire air circuit includes the air pump and the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump, it is necessary to further determine whether the fault is with the air pump or the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump. Therefore, check if there is a fault in the air pump. If the air pump is faulty, the troubleshooting process ends. If the air pump is not faulty, it is determined that there is a fault in the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump, and the troubleshooting process ends.

[0088] In this embodiment of the application, the preset detection sequence shown above can effectively improve the efficiency and effectiveness of troubleshooting.

[0089] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of detecting whether the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is faulty includes:

[0090] Open the distribution valve and pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft; when the opening time reaches the preset time, check whether the air pressure of the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft is greater than the preset air pressure; if it is greater than the preset air pressure, it is determined that the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is faulty; if it is not greater than the preset air pressure, it is determined that the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is not faulty.

[0091] In this embodiment, for a single shaft, under normal circumstances, when its distribution valve and pressure relief valve are opened, the gas in its corresponding air spring is released, resulting in a relatively low air pressure in the air spring. Based on this principle, after opening the distribution valve and pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft, if the air pressure of the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft is still greater than the preset air pressure after the opening time reaches the preset time, it indicates that the pressure relief valve is not connected to the atmosphere, thus confirming that the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is faulty. At this point, the troubleshooting can be completed, and the subsequent fault output could be that the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is stuck. Conversely, if the air pressure of the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft is not greater than the preset air pressure, it indicates that the gas in the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft is being discharged normally, thus confirming that the pressure relief valve of the abnormal shaft is not faulty. At this point, the next stage of troubleshooting needs to be initiated, namely, checking whether there is a fault in the overall air circuit.

[0092] The preset air pressure can be set according to the actual situation, for example, 3 bar.

[0093] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of detecting whether there is a fault in the overall gas path includes:

[0094] Check whether the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft can be normally inflated through the entire air circuit; if it can be normally inflated, it is determined that there is no fault in the entire air circuit; if it cannot be normally inflated, it is determined that there is a fault in the entire air circuit.

[0095] In this embodiment, for one shaft, under normal circumstances, after opening the air pump and its corresponding distribution valve, the gas generated by the air pump can enter the air spring through the gas pipeline between the shaft and the air pump, thereby inflating the air spring and increasing the air pressure / height of the air spring. Based on this, the air pipe is inserted into the pressure-holding valve, opening the valve core and moving downwards to disengage from the O-ring. This opens the entire pipeline from the air pump to the air spring, allowing for inflation and deflation. If the air pipe is not inserted deeply enough, the valve core will be stuck to the O-ring, preventing the gas inside the air spring from escaping and thus preventing deflation; however, the high-pressure gas from the air pump can compress the valve core, forcing it open and allowing it to enter the air spring, achieving inflation. Based on this principle, by opening the air pump and the distribution valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft, after a period of time, check whether the air pressure or height of the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft is normal. If normal, it confirms that the air spring corresponding to the abnormal shaft can be properly inflated through the entire air circuit, thus confirming that the entire air circuit is not faulty. The cause of the abnormal shaft descent can then be determined as the valve core and O-ring being stuck together, preventing the air in the air spring from escaping and releasing air. This indicates a fault in the pressure-holding valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft, at which point the troubleshooting can be completed, and the subsequent fault could be due to the pipe port corresponding to the abnormal shaft not being properly installed. Conversely, if normal inflation fails, a fault in the entire air circuit is confirmed. Since the entire air circuit includes the air pump and the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump, further investigation is needed to determine whether the fault lies with the air pump or the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump.

[0096] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of detecting whether the air pump is faulty includes:

[0097] The test checks whether the air spring corresponding to the normal shaft can be properly inflated through another air path, which includes an air pump and a gas pipeline between the normal shaft and the air pump. If it can be properly inflated, it is determined that the air pump is not faulty.

[0098] In this embodiment, since directly checking for faults in the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump is quite difficult, the approach can be to check if the air pump is functioning correctly. Specifically, check if the air spring corresponding to the normal shaft can be normally inflated through another air path. If it can be inflated normally, the air pump is functioning correctly, and the fault lies in the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump. At this point, the troubleshooting can be completed, and the subsequent fault diagnosis could be a point of detachment in the gas pipeline between the abnormal shaft and the air pump. Conversely, if it cannot be inflated normally, the air pump is faulty. The normal shaft is the shaft that descends without abnormality.

[0099] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of outputting the cause of the fault includes:

[0100] The cause of the fault is displayed on the vehicle's display screen.

[0101] And / or, announce the cause of the fault through the vehicle's loudspeaker.

[0102] In this embodiment, after obtaining the investigation results, it is necessary to output the cause of the malfunction so that relevant personnel are aware of the cause of the abnormal descent. There are many ways to output the cause of the malfunction, such as displaying it on the vehicle's display screen using text, icons, or other means; or broadcasting it via voice, that is, broadcasting the cause of the malfunction through the vehicle's loudspeaker.

[0103] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of outputting the cause of the fault further includes:

[0104] Check whether the distance between the certified terminal and the vehicle is greater than the preset distance;

[0105] If the distance exceeds the preset limit, the cause of the fault will be sent to the authenticated terminal.

[0106] In this embodiment, the car owner typically interacts with the vehicle's infotainment system via an app on their terminal. In this case, the car owner's terminal is an authenticated terminal. The terminal grants the infotainment system permission to obtain location information, allowing the infotainment system (the executing entity in this embodiment) to acquire the terminal's location. This location information, combined with the vehicle's location data, determines the distance between the authenticated terminal and the vehicle, and compares it to a preset distance. If the distance is greater than the preset distance, it strongly suggests that the car owner is not currently near the vehicle, and any notification displayed on the infotainment system's screen or through the speaker will not be received by the car owner. Therefore, when the distance between the authenticated terminal and the vehicle is detected to be greater than the preset distance, a fault cause is sent to the authenticated terminal, allowing the user on the authenticated terminal to promptly understand the cause of the abnormal descent.

[0107] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a fault cause diagnosis device.

[0108] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a functional module diagram of an embodiment of the fault cause diagnosis device of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the fault diagnosis device includes:

The preset detection order is to first troubleshoot the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft. If the pressure relief valve is not faulty, then troubleshoot the entire air circuit. If the entire air circuit is faulty, then troubleshoot the air pump.

[0111] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the detection module 10 is used for:

[0112] Check if the pressure relief valve corresponding to the abnormal shaft is faulty;
