[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically to a method and device for recording fault waveforms in charging piles. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the charging infrastructure industry has been developing rapidly, and the number of charging piles has grown rapidly. This continuous growth in the number of charging piles has been accompanied by a constant increase in on-site malfunctions. Charging pile malfunctions often occur instantaneously. When maintenance personnel go to the site for repairs, they can only rely on historical message reading and background fault records, which does not allow for a more direct view of the specific condition of the charging pile's key components at the time of the malfunction. This can lead to difficulties in clearly and accurately locating the specific cause of the malfunction. Some less common problems even require extensive simulations to reproduce the fault for analysis and localization, making subsequent backtracking and localization quite challenging.

[0074] In view of the above problems, this invention provides a method for recording fault waveforms in charging piles. Without changing the original charger system's hardware and software, this invention acquires real-time data and communication content during charging by adding a waveform recording device to the charger and establishing voltage and current sampling circuits, key component status sampling circuits, and CAN communication monitoring circuits. The data and messages from each charging session are stored as a log file. When the waveform recording device detects a start-up failure or abnormal shutdown during the charging process, it converts the log data into a waveform image and sends it to the backend along with the log. The stored waveform images and logs are stored in a rotating manner, with each message and image having a corresponding number. The device can store 20 charging process records; when more than 20 are stored, previously stored information is continuously deleted to reduce memory usage. Maintenance personnel can directly view the logs and waveform images through the backend or a display screen, facilitating more intuitive analysis and backtracking, improving fault analysis and location, and reducing the difficulty of on-site maintenance.

[0075] To better understand the present invention, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, will further illustrate the content of the present invention.

[0076] Example 1:

[0077] A method for recording fault waveforms in a charging pile, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0078] Step S1: By installing a waveform recording device on the charger, a voltage and current sampling circuit, a key component status sampling circuit, and a CAN communication monitoring circuit are built.

[0079] Step S2: Obtain real-time data and communication messages during charging of the charging pile through voltage and current sampling circuit, key component status sampling circuit, and CAN communication monitoring circuit, and form the real-time data into a log file;

[0080] Step S3: Analyze the communication messages using the waveform recording device to determine whether a startup failure or abnormal shutdown occurs during the charging process. When a startup failure or abnormal shutdown occurs, convert the log data into a waveform image and transmit the waveform image and log file to the background.

[0081] The charging pile fault recording device and method are as follows:

[0082] (1) Hardware parameters and functional configuration of the waveform recording device.

[0083] Because the waveform recording device needs to perform real-time analysis and waveform generation of charging data, an 800MHz main frequency chip is used, and 512MB of DDR3 memory is employed. Since the generated images need to be retained, the control board uses 1GB of FLASH memory. The sampling control board is powered by 12V DC to directly utilize the existing 12V auxiliary power supply on the charging pile.

[0084] The device control board is equipped with 10 active DI digital input interfaces to obtain the remote signaling status of switching devices such as DC contactors, AC contactors, auxiliary power relays, electronic locks, and emergency stops, while reserving 4 spare channels.

[0085] In terms of communication, it is equipped with 4 CAN2.0B communication ports for monitoring important CAN communication data such as communication between the charger and the vehicle, communication between the internal TCU and DCCU, and communication between DCCU and the charging module; 1 485 communication port for monitoring the AC side meter readings to obtain AC side voltage and current data; and 1 232 communication port for designers to perform internal debugging.

[0086] For sampling, it is equipped with 2 DC voltage sampling ports, with a range of -200V to 1000V, an accuracy of ≤±5V, and a sampling period of ms, used to obtain the real-time change of the DC side output voltage of the charging pile; 2 DC current sampling ports, with a voltage sampling of mV level, an accuracy of ≤0.5%, and a sampling period of 5ms, used to sample the real-time mV voltage at both ends of the charging pile shunt and convert it into current according to the transformation ratio; and 1 control guide voltage sampling port, with a range of 0V to 15V and an accuracy of ≤1%, used to obtain the voltage value of the CC1 control guide circuit.

[0087] In addition, the waveform recording device has a power-off protection function, which can delay power-off for 1 minute after the working power supply is interrupted, so as to record the specific situation before and after the charging pile's unexpected power failure; it has an LVDS touch screen display function for direct viewing of logs and waveform images; the interface diagram of the sampling control board is as follows. Figure 2 As shown.

[0088] (2) Acquisition of charging pile data and image generation.

[0089] Acquisition of charging pile switching status: Utilizing the built-in auxiliary contacts on the charging pile's switching devices, a sampling circuit is formed by connecting the positive and negative terminals of the active DI input interface of the waveform recording device to the two poles of the auxiliary contacts. When each switching device is open, the auxiliary contacts are open, and a 12V voltage difference exists between the positive and negative terminals of the control board's active input port. Upon recognizing this state, the control board determines that the switching device is open, recording a status of 0 in the log, and the generated waveform corresponds to a low level. When a switching device is closed, it causes the auxiliary contacts to close. At this time, a short circuit occurs between the positive and negative terminals of the control board's input port, pulling the voltage down to 0V. Upon recognizing this state, the control board determines that the switching device is closed, recording a status of 1 in the log, and the generated waveform corresponds to a high level. (See below) Figure 3 The waveform of the DC contactor is shown.

[0090] Acquisition of charging pile voltage and current values: The voltage sampling port of the waveform recording device is directly connected to the DC bus DC+ and DC- terminals for direct voltage sampling, and written to the log at a sampling period of 1ms. The current sampling port of the waveform recording device is directly connected to the two ends of the shunt in the output circuit of the charging pile, directly sampling the millivolt voltage at both ends and converting it into output current through a transformer ratio, also written to the log at a sampling period of 1ms. The voltage value of detection point 1 is directly sampled from the CC1 and PE lines on the charging head, and written to the log at a sampling period of 50ms. The AC side voltage and current are obtained by monitoring the communication between the charging pile's built-in AC meter and the DCCU. The AC voltage and current data are written to the log at the frequency of the monitored message period. The waveform recording device finally generates an image by plotting the data points in the log.

[0091] Communication message acquisition: Data interaction within the charger is acquired by listening to messages via a parallel communication line on the CAN bus and directly logged for easy viewing by maintenance personnel. The waveform recording device triggers the saving and uploading of logs and waveforms by recognizing message content. Listened messages include those between the TCU and DCCU, the DCCU and the charging module, and the charger and the vehicle. The overall system schematic is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, QF1 is the charger switching power supply circuit breaker, K8 is the charger switching power supply circuit relay, QF is the charger AC main circuit breaker, KM is the charger AC main circuit contactor, FU is the charger DC circuit fuse, RS is the charger DC circuit shunt, and K1 is the charger DC circuit contactor.

[0092] (3) Data processing flow of the waveform recording device.

[0093] Based on the communication protocol between the Billing Control Unit (TCU) and the Charging Controller Unit (DCCU), the process begins with the detection of a "start command frame" in the TCU-DCCU communication and ends with the detection of a "start completion status frame" or "stop completion frame" indicating "failure." Data collected during each charging session is recorded, including voltage, current, and switch status data, which are stored as logs. Monitored communication messages are stored via direct transfer. The data content is then analyzed based on the message content. If an anomaly is detected, a waveform image is generated and stored. The stored log and waveform image are then uploaded to the backend. The specific process is as follows:

[0094] Successful startup is determined by detecting the content of the "startup complete status frame" in the TCU-DCCU communication. If startup fails, the logs generated from the receipt of the "startup command frame" to the receipt of the "startup complete status frame" are converted into waveform images and stored. The waveforms and logs are then uploaded to the backend.

[0095] If startup is successful, the system waits to detect the cause of an abnormal shutdown in the "stop completion frame" communication between the TCU and DCCU when charging stops. If an abnormal shutdown cause is found, it indicates that the charging stopped abnormally. The control board then converts the logs generated during charging into waveform images, stores them in turn, and uploads the waveforms and logs together to the backend. If no abnormal shutdown cause is found, it indicates that the charging stopped normally, and no images are generated, nor are the logs uploaded to the backend. Figure 5 As shown below.

[0096] This invention provides a method for recording fault waveforms in a charger. It requires no modification to the charging pile's hardware or software; only an external device is needed to record fault waveforms during the charging process. Through the log data and waveform images generated by charging anomalies, maintenance personnel can gain a more intuitive understanding of the overall status of the charging pile at the time of the fault, either from the device screen or the backend. This facilitates the tracing and localization of charging equipment faults and effectively improves the work efficiency of maintenance personnel.

[0097] Example 2

[0098] Based on a 180kW charger, a waveform recording device developed using the method described in this paper was used to conduct waveform recording experiments.

[0099] The log file generated by the waveform recording device after acquiring the voltage and current switch status values ​​of the charging pile is as follows:

[0100] Each line, from left to right, contains: year, month, day; hour, minute, second, millisecond; A-phase AC voltage; A-phase AC current; B-phase AC voltage; B-phase AC current; C-phase AC voltage; C-phase AC current; AC input power; DC output voltage; DC output current (sampled 5 times at 1ms); DC contactor status; voltage value at detection point 1; electronic lock status; and AC relay status. The CAN communication log file, monitored and saved by the waveform recording device, is as follows: Figure 6 The communication messages between the charging pile and the vehicle are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the communication messages between the charging pile TCU and DCCU are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the communication messages between the charging pile DCCU and the charging module are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, a simulated access control malfunction occurs during charging, and the generated image is as follows. Figure 10 As shown in the figure. The waveform numbers from 1 to 10 are as follows: Waveform 1 outer voltage value; Waveform 2 inner voltage value; Waveform 3 output current value; Waveform 4 voltage value at detection point 1; Waveform 5 auxiliary power switch status; Waveform 6 electronic lock status; Waveform 7 DC output contactor status; Waveform 8 access control status; Waveform 9 emergency stop status; Waveform 10 AC relay status.

[0101] The horizontal axis in the figure uses a uniform time axis, with each small square representing 1 second; the vertical axis uses different amplitudes: each square of waveforms 1 and 2 represents 30V, each square of waveform 3 represents 30A, each square of waveform 4 represents 4V, and waveforms 5-10 represent switching states, distinguishing only between high and low levels, without any actual numerical meaning.

[0102] Image analysis: The image shows that waveform 8 changes from high level to low level first during the charging process. Then, within 1 second, the DC contactor of the charger disconnects, and the voltage and current output gradually decrease to 0. The auxiliary power supply stops after about 3 seconds, and finally the electronic lock unlocks after about 5 seconds. Image analysis shows that the charger's start-up and shutdown process conforms to the national standard sequence. The reason for the shutdown is that the access control is disconnected, and there are no other device faults or abnormalities.

[0103] Example 3

[0104] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a waveform recording device for fault recording of charging piles, comprising:

[0105] The waveform recording device is installed on the charger to build voltage and current sampling circuits, key component status sampling circuits, and CAN communication monitoring circuits.

[0107] The waveform recording device is used to determine whether a startup failure or abnormal shutdown occurs during the charging process, based on the communication messages. When a startup failure or abnormal shutdown occurs, the log data is converted into a waveform image and transmitted to the background along with the log file.

[0117] Optionally, the CAN communication monitoring loop includes:

[0118] Four CAN2.0B communication ports are used to monitor CAN communication data and generate communication messages;

[0119] One 485 communication channel is used to monitor the AC side meter readings and obtain AC side voltage and current data.

[0121] Optionally, the waveform recording device is specifically used for:

[0122] The startup success is determined by judging the content of the "startup completion status frame" in the communication message through the waveform recording device. If the startup fails, the log generated from the receipt of the "startup command frame" to the receipt of the "startup completion status frame" is converted into a waveform image and stored. Otherwise, if the startup is successful, the abnormal shutdown reason in the "stop completion frame" in the communication between TCU and DCCU when charging stops is detected.

[0123] When an abnormal shutdown occurs, the log data generated during the charging process will be converted into a waveform image.

[0124] When no abnormal shutdown cause is found, the log data generated during the charging process will not be converted into waveform images.
