In order to overcome the above problems, existing solutions use portable devices to access the civil aviation aircraft network to perform ground tests by maintenance personnel, and further use the portable devices to display the test status to the outside world. However, the above solution requires an external portable device and the activation of the onboard network, and the implementation process is cumbersome. It is urgent to propose a system and method for aircraft startup testing that can meet the user's needs to quickly and concurrently perform multiple ground tests and accurately provide ground test results using only the existing human-machine interface of the onboard maintenance system.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, many specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the described exemplary embodiments. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the described embodiments can be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other exemplary embodiments, well-known structures or processing steps are not described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0023] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the term "A or B" used throughout the specification refers to "A and B" and "A or B" rather than meaning that A and B are exclusive.

[0024] This patent proposes an integrated aircraft startup test system and its operation method, which has the advantages of automatically detecting full-aircraft conflict ground tests, automatically judging test results, and improving maintenance efficiency. The method is also applicable to different tests of a single device and tests of multiple devices, as well as interactive tests and non-interactive tests.

[0025] Figure 1 An example of an integrated aircraft startup test system according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the integrated startup test system may reside on an aircraft platform and serve the startup test function of an aircraft onboard maintenance system, such as Figure 1 As shown in , the integrated aircraft startup test system may include a data reading module, a logic processing module and a test result output module. The above-mentioned integrated startup test function may refer to the maintenance personnel using the existing human-machine interface of the airborne maintenance system and operating through the airborne maintenance system startup test related interface to implement the function of the test program predefined by the member system.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, a data reading module of the integrated aircraft startup test system can read relevant data of executing one or more startup tests from an onboard maintenance system, wherein the relevant data includes attribute information of one or more startup tests, preconditions and inhibition conditions associated with the corresponding startup tests, etc. In one embodiment, the startup test can include, for example, a power system check to ensure that the battery voltage of the aircraft is greater than 25.5V, and that AC power can be provided to the cockpit display screen when an external power supply is available; an auxiliary power unit (APU) startup check, an APU fire test, starting the APU, and monitoring the completion of the APU self-test and the opening of the bleed air valve, etc.

[0028] Preferably, the data reading module can obtain the preconditions for starting the test. In one embodiment, the preconditions can refer to external conditions that need to be met for a startup test to be executed. Preferably, the test result output module can visually display the preconditions associated with the list to be tested, so that the maintenance personnel can set all the preconditions required for the test and then start the test. For example, a member system with a maintenance switch needs to adjust the maintenance switch to a corresponding mode, system status setting, etc.

[0029] Preferably, the data reading module can obtain the inhibition conditions for starting the test. In one embodiment, the inhibition conditions may refer to the conditions for test execution that are not met inside the member system (test execution system) (for example, the operating temperature exceeds a threshold, etc.), which can be defined by the member system itself in the maintenance model. In one embodiment, the test result output module can display the inhibition conditions associated with the list to be tested, so that the maintenance personnel can eliminate all the inhibition conditions of the test, and the test will not be inhibited. For example, before starting the APU, if there is ice or other objects in the APU air inlet, the APU startup check cannot be started.

[0030] Preferably, the data reading module can obtain the attribute information of the startup test. Among them, the attribute information can include, for example, whether the startup test belongs to an interactive test or a non-interactive test, how to perform the interactive process, etc. For example, it can be defined in the maintenance model whether the test is interactive or non-interactive, and the attribute information defined in the maintenance model can be read by the data reading module. Among them, the one-key automatic execution directly turns to the test status page to wait for the automatic judgment result, which is a non-interactive test, and the interactive test refers to the test process, the interactive page provides different options to the maintenance personnel, the maintenance personnel select different options and then enter the different next page to continue to select, the selection is completed (it may be composed of one or more selections of one or more subsequent pages, at least one selection page is included in the middle, and one manual selection is performed, otherwise it is a non-interactive test), the test turns to the test status page, and displays the test results. In addition or alternatively, the member system can customize whether all tests are interactive and how to perform the interactive process.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the logic processing module of the integrated aircraft startup test system can generate a test list including a subset of one or more startup tests in response to a user selection. For example, the user selection can be a user input Figure 1 The commands in the command list include the maintenance personnel's selection instructions for the ATA (Airline Transportation Association) chapter list, equipment list, and test list.

[0032] Preferably, generating the list to be tested may include generating the list to be tested by selecting one or more start-up tests of the same device and / or different devices. For example, different tests of a single device may be selected, or tests of multiple devices may be selected, and the tests that can be selected may include interactive tests and / or non-interactive tests.

[0033] Preferably, generating the list to be tested may include determining and excluding interfering tests in one or more startup tests while the user selects the list to be tested, thereby avoiding the existence of tests interfering with each other in the list to be tested. For example, a door check cannot be performed while performing an engine startup check, because when the engine is started, it is necessary to ensure that all doors are closed and locked to prevent foreign matter from being sucked into the engine, so if the engine startup check is selected, the door check is automatically excluded from the list (for example, the door check is in a non-selectable state in the list).

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the logic processing module may determine a test order of one or more start-up tests in the to-be-tested list based at least in part on the relevant data.

[0035] Preferably, multiple tests of different devices can be performed in parallel and / or multiple tests of the same device can be performed in series. Additionally or alternatively, the test order can be determined based on the priority associated with the startup test. Additionally or alternatively, the test order can be determined based on the duration associated with the startup test. Additionally or alternatively, the test order also needs to consider whether the devices to be used conflict. It should be understood that there can be other methods for determining the test order without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the logic processing module may issue instructions to the corresponding test execution device to execute the list to be tested based at least in part on the above test sequence.

[0037] Preferably, the logic processing module executes the list to be tested, including executing one or more startup tests in the list to be tested and generating a test result for each item in the list to be tested.

[0038] Preferably, the logic processing module executes the list to be tested including detecting an inhibition condition associated with the list to be tested. In one embodiment, detecting an inhibition condition associated with the list to be tested may include the corresponding test execution device automatically terminating the target test and sending the activated inhibition condition to the integrated aircraft startup test system when detecting that the inhibition condition of the target test in the list to be tested is activated. Additionally or alternatively, the logic processing module may inhibit the relevant startup test in response to receiving an inhibition condition activation instruction. The inhibition condition may refer to a condition that does not satisfy the test execution inside the member system (test execution system) (for example, the operating temperature exceeds a threshold, etc.), which may be defined by the member system itself in the maintenance model, detected by itself and sent to the integrated aircraft startup test system, and the integrated aircraft startup test system will continuously monitor the inhibition condition status sent by the member system. For example, if Figure 1 As shown in , due to the failure or temporary use of a member system, one or more inhibition conditions may be generated, and the relevant inhibition condition activation command may be sent to the data reading module of the integrated aircraft startup test system. The startup test system should be able to receive the inhibition condition activation command sent by the member system and terminate the relevant startup test process. Accordingly, if the inhibition condition is eliminated during the test, the test can continue.

[0039] Preferably, executing the list to be tested includes executing the interactive startup test based at least in part on the interaction performed by the user on the interactive page with the interactive startup test in the list to be tested. For example, the logic processing module can read the interaction process based at least in part on the attribute information, and at least in part on the interactive process, while executing the list to be tested, the test result output module can display the interactive page of the interactive startup test in the list to be tested for interaction with the maintenance personnel. In one embodiment, the interactive page can provide different options to the maintenance personnel, and the maintenance personnel select different options and then enter different next pages to continue selecting until the test completes the output result.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the test result output module can display the test result of each item in the list to be tested in response to the completion of the test of the list to be tested. Wherein the test result can be determined in response to the test-related fault state or parameter fed back by the corresponding execution test system. For example, if the fed back test-related parameter is within the threshold range, the test result of the startup test is determined to be "successful", otherwise it is "failed", and if the inhibition condition of the startup test is triggered, the test result is determined to be "suppressed". In one embodiment, the test result (for example, the specific test content of each item in the list to be tested and the corresponding test result "successful" or "failed" or "suppressed" or other, etc.) can be output on the test result status page displayed on the display of the onboard maintenance system. Additionally or alternatively, the test result output module outputs the test result of the target test as suppressed in response to receiving the inhibition condition of the activation of the target test in the list to be tested. Additionally or alternatively, the test result of the non-interactive startup test in the list to be tested is automatically determined. Preferably, the test result can interact with the user through the HMI interface. Additionally or alternatively, the test results may be stored in memory for subsequent use in other tests, or may be reviewed by testing and / or maintenance personnel.

[0041] Figure 2 An example of a method for integrated aircraft startup testing according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 The method for integrated aircraft startup test includes: performing data file reading. The above method can be performed using a data reading module of an integrated aircraft startup test system integrated on an onboard maintenance system, and can read relevant data for executing one or more startup tests from the onboard maintenance system, wherein the relevant data includes preconditions, inhibition conditions, and attribute information of one or more startup tests, and the attribute information includes an indication of whether the corresponding startup test belongs to an interactive startup test, how to perform an interactive process, and the like.

[0043] The method further includes: performing ATA selection, device selection and test selection to generate a list to be tested including one or more startup tests, wherein the list to be tested may include a subset of the startup tests. Wherein, the ATA selection, the device selection and the test selection may be responsive to user input. While selecting the list to be tested, interference tests may be excluded in advance to avoid the presence of mutually interfering tests in the list to be tested. If there is an interference test, the interference test option may be set to an unselectable state (for example, the option may be set to an unselectable state, or other states to distinguish it from a normal test item) and continue to select. If there is no interference test, it is determined whether there are suppression conditions and / or preconditions. For example, the maintenance personnel may need to eliminate the suppression conditions of the test before the test can be executed. Additionally or alternatively, the maintenance personnel may need to set all the preconditions required for the test before the test can begin to execute.

[0044] The method further includes: determining a test order of one or more startup tests in the list of tests to be tested based at least in part on the data related to the one or more startup tests, and issuing instructions to corresponding test execution devices to execute the list of tests based at least in part on the test order. The above method can be executed using a system logic processing module of an integrated aircraft startup test. Preferably, instructions can be issued to different execution test systems to execute one or more startup tests simultaneously / sequentially based on the test order.

[0045] In an example embodiment, if it is an interactive startup test, the interaction with the interactive startup test can be performed on the interactive page through the test result output module, and the corresponding test result can be displayed on the result status page. If it is not an interactive startup test, the one or more non-interactive startup tests can be collectively executed, and their test results are automatically determined, so that the corresponding test results can be displayed on the result status page.

[0046] Additionally or alternatively, during the startup test, when the corresponding test execution device detects that the inhibition condition of the target test in the to-be-tested list is activated or triggered, the target test can be automatically terminated and the activated inhibition condition can be sent to the integrated aircraft startup test system. At the same time, the inhibited state can be displayed on the test result status page for display on the result status page. Additionally or alternatively, during the execution of the test, if the inhibition condition is released (for example, the inhibition condition is not satisfied or the inhibition condition is eliminated), the test can be converted from the inhibited state to the normal state, and placed in the queue that can be tested, and the corresponding test can be executed until the test is completed.

[0047] The method further includes: the test result output module displays the test result of each item in the list to be tested in response to the test of the list to be tested being completed. For example, in the test result list, the startup test that succeeded is displayed as "success", the startup test that failed is displayed as "failure", the startup test that was suppressed is displayed as "suppressed", etc. Further, the result can be manually confirmed.

[0048] Figure 3 An example of a test process for integrated aircraft startup testing according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 The test process of the integrated aircraft startup test system executing the test procedure described in is as follows:

[0050] Step 1: Select the list to be tested.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, a list to be tested can be obtained by selecting ATA on the same page, and then selecting different devices (e.g., device 1, ..., device N) and multiple startup test programs of different devices (e.g., test 1, test 2 ..., test N). For example, a data reading module of an integrated aircraft startup test system integrated in an onboard maintenance system can be used to generate a list to be tested including one or more startup tests in response to user input, and read relevant data for executing one or more startup tests from the onboard maintenance system.

[0052] Step 2, preconditions are displayed.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, before the test starts, the maintenance personnel can check and satisfy the preconditions displayed on the display as much as possible. For example, the preconditions can be input into the data reading module of the integrated aircraft startup test system, and the maintenance personnel can satisfy the external conditions of the startup test according to the preconditions displayed on the display. For example, a member system with a maintenance switch needs to adjust the maintenance switch to a corresponding mode, system status setting, etc. Additionally or alternatively, the display can also display inhibition conditions associated with the startup test, and the maintenance personnel may need to eliminate the inhibition conditions of the test before executing the test.

[0054] Step 3: Start testing.

[0055] The integrated aircraft startup test system can determine the test order of one or more startup tests in the list to be tested based at least in part on the relevant data of the one or more startup tests, and issue instructions to the corresponding test execution devices to execute the list to be tested based at least in part on the test order. Preferably, instructions can be issued to different execution test systems simultaneously / sequentially based on the test order to execute one or more startup tests. If it is an interactive startup test, the interaction with the interactive startup test can be performed on the interactive page through the test result output module. If it is not an interactive startup test, the one or more non-interactive startup tests can be executed centrally.

[0056] Step 4: Inhibitory condition detection.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, while testing, the startup test system should be able to receive an inhibition condition activation instruction sent by a member system and inhibit the relevant test program. For example, due to a failure or temporary use of other member systems, one or more inhibition conditions may be generated, and the relevant inhibition condition activation instruction may be sent to the data reading module of the integrated aircraft startup test system. Additionally or alternatively, during the execution of the test, if the inhibition condition is released (for example, the inhibition condition is not satisfied or the inhibition condition is eliminated), the test can be converted from the inhibition state to the normal state, and placed in the queue that can be tested, and the corresponding test is executed until the test is completed.

[0058] Step 5: Display the test result list.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, one or more non-interactive startup tests selected in the list to be tested can be centrally executed, and their test results can be automatically determined for display on the result status page. Additionally or alternatively, interaction with the interactive startup test can be performed on the interactive page, and the corresponding test results can be displayed on the result status page. Preferably, after the test is completed, the startup test system should be able to automatically determine the test results according to the test status or parameters fed back by the execution test system, and obtain a test result list.

[0062] (2) Unify the interactive and non-interactive tests so that multiple startup test procedures can be centralized and not interfere with each other, including multiple different startup tests of the same device and multiple startup tests of multiple different devices;

[0063] (3) It has the advantages of automatically detecting full-aircraft conflict ground tests, automatically judging test results, improving maintenance efficiency, reducing aircraft stopover and post-flight maintenance time, and improving airline operating efficiency.
