[0026] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for collecting characteristics of a vehicle starting circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to calculating the circuit characteristics of a vehicle starting circuit. This method can be executed by a vehicle starting circuit characteristics collection system, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0027] S110. When the starter drives the engine to operate, continuously collect multiple sets of data of at least one voltage signal in the starting circuit and a current signal of the starting circuit.

[0028] Among them, the engine refers to the power device in the car that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy. The working process of the car engine usually includes four strokes: intake, compression, power and exhaust. The voltage signal refers to the voltage change information between the battery and the starter in the starting circuit, which reflects the voltage level in the circuit and is usually used to monitor the charging status of the battery and the working condition of the starter. Exemplarily, the voltage signal includes: the positive electrode voltage of the battery, the positive terminal voltage of the starter and the housing terminal voltage of the starter. The current signal refers to the current information in the starting circuit, which is used to evaluate the discharge capacity of the battery and the load condition of the starter. Exemplarily, the current signal includes the loop current, etc.

[0029] Among them, the battery positive voltage refers to the voltage output by the battery in the starting circuit. The starter positive terminal voltage refers to the voltage value measured at the starter positive terminal (the terminal connected to the positive terminal of the battery). The starter housing terminal voltage refers to the voltage value measured at the starter housing. The starter housing is usually grounded, so the starter housing terminal voltage can also be regarded as a reference voltage for electrical grounding, which can ensure that the starter has good grounding during operation. The loop current refers to the current in the starting circuit, which will change with the different operating conditions of the engine.

[0030] Among them, the continuous collection of multiple sets of voltage signals and current signals can collect the electrical performance of the starter throughout the entire working process, so as to fully understand the performance of the battery and starter under different working conditions, and lay a data foundation for the subsequent fitting of the relationship between voltage and current.

[0031] S120, performing data processing on the multiple groups of data of the collected voltage signals and current signals to obtain circuit characteristics of the starting circuit; wherein the circuit characteristics include at least one of the characteristics of the battery, the wiring harness characteristics of the starting circuit, and the drag speed of the starter.

[0032] As mentioned above, during the process of the starter driving the engine, the load on the starter end will change accordingly because the cylinder is in different stroke states. During this process, the discharge current of the battery can adapt to a wide range of load changes. Based on this current characteristic, the embodiment of the present invention uses multiple sets of data of the voltage signal and the current signal when the starter circuit is started to perform data processing, and can analyze the circuit characteristics of the starter circuit to ensure the normal operation of the starter circuit.

[0033] Among them, the characteristics of the battery can be the performance of the battery under different working conditions, including its charging and discharging capabilities, internal resistance, capacity and health status. The wiring harness characteristics of the starting circuit can be the performance of the wiring harness (cable and connector) in the starting circuit during the current and voltage transmission process, illustratively including resistance, conductivity and durability. The drag speed of the starter can be the speed reached by the starter during the starting process. Analyzing the drag speed of the starter can evaluate the efficiency and performance of the starter under different loads to ensure that it can effectively start the engine.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the current variation characteristics of the starter during the starting process, multiple sets of data of the voltage signal and the current signal of the starting circuit when starting are collected and processed, thereby obtaining circuit characteristics of the starting circuit such as battery characteristics, wiring harness characteristics of the starting circuit and drag speed of the starter, and these characteristics are of great significance for ensuring the normal operation, fault diagnosis and system optimization of the automobile starting system.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, in S120, there are multiple ways to process the multiple sets of data of the collected voltage signals and current signals. In one embodiment, optionally, a linear relationship fitting is performed on the multiple sets of data of the collected voltage signals and current signals.

[0036] Among them, the first-order linear relationship fitting refers to fitting a set of data points into a straight line to establish a linear relationship model between an independent variable (such as voltage) and a dependent variable (such as current). Specifically, the first-order linear relationship fitting can simplify the complex voltage and current data into a linear model, thereby revealing the relationship between voltage and current, which helps to quickly evaluate the performance of the starting circuit. Exemplarily, the first-order linear relationship function module in the Labview software can be used to fit the relationship curve between the collected voltage signal and current signal.

[0037] In another embodiment, optionally, in S120, the data processing method for the multiple sets of data of the collected voltage signals and current signals is: data screening and extraction for the multiple sets of data of the collected voltage signals and current signals.

[0038] Data screening and extraction refers to the process of selecting data points that meet specific conditions or standards from multiple collected voltage and current signals and extracting specific information. Data screening and extraction of collected voltage and current signals can improve the quality and efficiency of data analysis and provide a data basis for performance evaluation and optimization of the starting circuit.

[0039] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the battery characteristics of the starting circuit, the wiring characteristics of the starting circuit and the driving speed of the starter by collecting and processing the voltage data and current data in the starting circuit when the starter drives the generator. Analyzing these circuit characteristics can ensure the normal operation of the starting circuit, thereby optimizing the design of the starting system, improving the energy efficiency of electric energy, and achieving more efficient and safe car starting.

Figure 3 As shown, based on the above embodiments, optionally, when the circuit characteristic is a battery characteristic, the method of continuously collecting multiple sets of data of at least one voltage signal in the starting circuit and the current signal of the starting circuit when the starter drives the engine to run in S110 is further refined. And the method of processing the multiple sets of data of the collected voltage signal and current signal to obtain the circuit characteristic of the starting circuit in S120 is further refined.

[0041] Specifically, the automobile starting circuit characteristic acquisition method comprises the following steps:

[0044] S221. Select at least part of the data of the stable fluctuation range of the current from the multiple groups of data of the loop current.

[0045] The current stable fluctuation range refers to the current data set corresponding to the period of time when the current fluctuates within a relatively stable range during the vehicle startup process. The data in this range represents the current performance of the starting system under normal working conditions, excluding the impact current at the moment of startup and the abnormal current under fault conditions.

[0046] Specifically, the current stable fluctuation range may be determined in combination with actual conditions and engineering experience. For example, an allowable current fluctuation percentage or amplitude is preset to determine the current stable fluctuation range.

[0047] S222 performs a one-time linear fitting of a voltage-current relationship curve on multiple groups of voltage signals and multiple groups of current signals within the stable current fluctuation range.

[0048] Among them, one-time linear relationship fitting refers to the best fitting of a set of data points with a straight line through a linear regression method to describe the linear relationship between variables. The voltage-current relationship curve refers to the relationship curve between the battery positive electrode voltage and the loop current in the starting circuit loop. For example, the horizontal axis is the loop current and the vertical axis is the battery positive electrode voltage.

[0049] Exemplarily, the least square method can be used to fit the voltage signal and the current signal. Specifically, assuming that there is a linear relationship between voltage and current, it can be expressed by the following equation:

[0050] V=aI+b

[0051] Among them, V represents voltage; I represents current; a represents slope; and b represents intercept.

[0052] The goal of fitting is to find the best values ​​of a and b so that the fitted straight line is closest to the given multiple sets of voltage signals and multiple sets of current signals.

[0053] S223. Calculate the battery internal resistance of the battery according to the voltage-current relationship curve.

[0054] Among them, battery internal resistance refers to the resistance of various components inside the battery (such as electrode materials, electrolyte, etc.) to the passage of current. Battery internal resistance is affected by many factors, such as temperature, charging status, battery aging, etc.

[0055] Specifically, the linear relationship between the voltage and the current is fitted using the least squares method using multiple sets of data collected from the positive electrode voltage of the battery and multiple sets of data from the loop current:

[0056] V=aI+b

[0057] The slope a of the fitted linear equation is the internal resistance of the battery. In addition, the intercept b is the open circuit voltage of the battery.

[0058] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the battery internal resistance of the battery by collecting multiple sets of data of the battery positive electrode voltage and multiple sets of data of the loop current and fitting them. The change of the battery internal resistance reflects the health status of the battery, which can help the monitoring device of the circuit starting circuit to timely discover potential battery problems and avoid the vehicle being unable to start or other failures due to battery failure, which is of great significance for improving vehicle safety, extending battery life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0070] Among them, the positive wiring harness internal resistance r + Refers to the resistance of the wiring harness between the positive pole of the battery and the positive pole of the starter, including the total resistance of all electrical components that may affect the flow of current, such as the connection line, connector, contact point, etc. between the positive pole of the battery and the positive pole of the starter. - It refers to the total resistance of all electrical components that may affect the flow of current, including the connecting lines, connectors, contact points, etc. between the starter housing and the negative terminal of the battery.

[0071] Specifically, the positive wiring harness internal resistance r + It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0072] r + =R + -r

[0073] Where r represents the internal resistance of the battery; R + Represents the resistance from the positive terminal of the starter to the negative terminal of the battery. Figure 1 As shown, the resistance R from the positive pole of the starter to the negative pole of the battery + Subtract the resistance r of battery 20 to get the resistance from the starter positive electrode to the battery positive electrode, that is, the internal resistance r of the positive wiring harness + .

[0074] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention calculates the negative wiring harness internal resistance r by collecting multiple sets of data of the starter positive terminal voltage, the starter housing terminal voltage and the loop current. - And the positive wiring harness internal resistance r + Accurately measuring the internal resistance of the wiring harness can early detect wiring harness aging, poor contact or other potential faults, timely discover and solve problems with the wiring harness, and effectively improve the reliability of the vehicle starting process.
