Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of automated testing equipment, and in particular to a dual-track online automated testing platform. Background Art
[0002] The battery management unit (BMU) and high voltage controller (HVU) are the core components of the battery management system (BMS). The main function of the BMU is to collect information such as battery cell voltage and temperature, perform active balancing management, thermal management in the battery pack, and communicate with the battery cluster management through the CAN communication interface. BMU products usually have the following main functions and features:
[0003] 1) Voltage monitoring: Accurately measure the voltage of each battery cell to ensure that the battery operates within a safe voltage range to prevent overcharging and over-discharging;
[0004] 2) Internal resistance monitoring: monitor the charge and discharge current through the current sensor to prevent overload and damage to the battery;
[0005] 3) Temperature monitoring: Built-in temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the battery pack and the cells to prevent the battery from overheating or overcooling.
[0006] The HVU is responsible for monitoring and managing the safe and stable operation of the high-voltage system. The HVU module plays a vital role in new energy vehicles, ensuring the safe operation of the vehicle under high-voltage environment and effectively managing the working status of the battery and other high-voltage components. The main functions of the HVU module include:
[0007] 1) Monitor the voltage and current of the high voltage system to ensure that the system operates within a safe range;
[0008] 2) Protect the system from overload and short circuit, and prevent damage to batteries and other high-voltage components;
[0009] 3) Manage the battery charging and discharging process to optimize battery life and performance;
[0010] 4) Provide fault diagnosis function to timely detect and deal with potential problems in the system to ensure driving safety.
[0011] As the development of the new energy vehicle market gradually accelerates, the safety of vehicle-mounted battery pack electronic control has become a hot topic worldwide. Major automobile OEMs are also competing in battery pack safety technology competitions. In order to seize the new energy vehicle market, they attach great importance to the technical control of the safety, stability, reliability, performance and other elements of each electronic control module in the BMS. At the same time, the BMS equipped for each new energy vehicle must be monitored and tested one by one to ensure the safety and reliability of driving on the road after leaving the factory. In order to implement the technical requirements of full detection of mass-produced BMU modules and HVU modules, it is necessary to design an automatic detection equipment to improve the efficiency of power-on simulation detection of the two modules to ensure the safety and reliability of the performance of each module before installation. Summary of the invention
[0012] The purpose of the present invention is: in order to implement the technical requirements of full detection of BMU modules and HVU modules produced in batches, it is necessary to design an automatic detection equipment to improve the efficiency of power-on simulation detection of the two modules to ensure the safety and reliability of the performance of each module before loading.

The position sensor is used to detect and capture the BMU module or HVU module to be tested on the feeding track below, and the model information of the module is identified based on the distance measurement perception. The clamping cylinder clamps and places it in the corresponding automatic online detection component to implement power-on simulation detection.

The plug-in component includes a plug-in male head facing the plug-in female head, and is driven by a push cylinder to achieve top plugging. The rotary pressing component is arranged above the plug-in component, and includes a rotating motor, a rotating shaft and a pressing arm. The pressing arm obtains the torque of the rotating motor and presses the lower plug-in female head into position to facilitate the plug-in female head and the plug-in component.
[0018] Furthermore, a nozzle assembly for blowing dust away from the BMU module or HVU module being fed is provided on one side of the feeding track to ensure that the module to be tested being fed is not contaminated.
[0019] Furthermore, detachable clamping claws are arranged on both sides of the clamping cylinder, and the clamping claws cooperate with the plug-in slide rail grooves fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder, and are plugged and positioned by limit pins and screwed and locked by bolts.
[0020] Furthermore, unqualified BMU modules or HVU modules detected by the automatic online detection component are grabbed by the automatic picking and transferring component and placed on the unqualified product storage table.
[0021] Furthermore, the plug-in component is electrically connected to a modularly designed pin module, the pin module includes a male pin head fixed on a workbench and a female pin head arranged on the side of an automatic online detection component, the automatic online detection component changes the version of the adapter test carrier board according to the type of the BMU module or HVU module to be tested, and the male pin head is connected to a test instrument.
