Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power-on inspection of intelligent power distribution equipment of an aircraft electromechanical system, and in particular relates to a method for defining power-on inspection instructions for intelligent power distribution equipment of an electromechanical system. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft electromechanical systems include dozens of subsystems, including power supply, hydraulics, environmental control, fuel, and lighting. Modern aircraft typically utilize a distributed architecture and intelligent management to control and manage these subsystems. Intelligent power distribution, primarily based on solid-state power distribution, is a key technology for achieving intelligent, miniaturized, and lightweight electromechanical control systems. Unlike traditional circuit breaker power distribution, intelligent power distribution utilizes direct output control by an onboard computer, resulting in high power density. Typically, a single, compact intelligent power distribution device can drive over 50 loads. Widespread adoption of aircraft system power distribution often requires hundreds of distribution channels. Traditional circuit breaker power distribution utilizes inscribed markings on the underside of the breaker to distinguish distribution channels. During initial system integration in the early stages of aircraft manufacturing, the corresponding distribution channels can be individually checked by plugging and unplugging circuit breakers. However, intelligent power distribution devices also require individual inspections of their distribution channels during initial system integration to mitigate risk.
[0003] The intelligent power distribution system of an aircraft is checked one by one, and a front-end control device is required to display the status of each power distribution channel. At the same time, a human-machine interaction page is provided to send the on-or-off instructions of each power distribution channel to the intelligent power distribution device via the onboard bus. In the current intelligent power distribution system of an aircraft, the power-on inspection instructions on the onboard bus are usually defined bit by bit according to the power distribution channel. This approach has two disadvantages: 1. During the early design of the intelligent power distribution system, various types of power distribution channels are often adjusted. The bit-by-bit definition will lead to frequent changes in the bus interface, which in turn will lead to frequent changes in the software of the front-end control device and the intelligent power distribution device; 2. The intelligent power distribution device usually undertakes the power distribution function of various loads of the entire aircraft and is a critical equipment. Errors in the onboard bus due to various faults may cause multiple power distribution channels to be abnormally shut down or reset at the same time, affecting the safety of the aircraft.
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of power-on inspection control and enhance aircraft safety performance is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for defining power-on check instructions for intelligent power distribution equipment in an electromechanical system to solve the problems of frequent adjustment of existing power distribution channels and abnormal shutdown or reset of multiple power distribution channels due to various faults of the onboard bus.

[0028] A method for defining a power-on check instruction for intelligent power distribution equipment in an electromechanical system can split and define data bits of the power-on check instruction.
[0029] like Figure 1 , specifically including the following steps:
[0030] Step S100, obtain the enable / disable instruction, define the upper 16 bits of the enable / disable instruction as the channel number of all distribution channels of the intelligent distribution system, and define the "enable / disable instruction identifier"; obtain the reset instruction, define the upper 16 bits of the reset instruction as the channel number of all distribution channels of the intelligent distribution system, and define the "reset instruction identifier".
[0031] Preferably, if Figure 2 The channel number of the enable / disable command is divided into two parts. The upper 8 bits are the device number, and the device numbers 1 to N correspond to the intelligent power distribution devices 1 to N respectively; the lower 8 bits are the distribution channel number for the device to enable / disable the operation.
[0032] Preferably, two more bits are taken from the enable / disable instruction and defined as "enable / disable instruction identifier", "01" represents disable and "10" represents enable, so as to quickly identify the subsequent power-on detection status.
[0033] Preferably, if Figure 3 The channel number of the reset instruction is divided into two parts. The upper 8 bits are the device number, and the device numbers 1 to N correspond to the intelligent distribution devices 1 to N respectively; the lower 8 bits are the distribution channel number of this unit that needs to be reset.

[0035] Step S200 sets the initial state of the enable / disable command. When performing an enable or disable operation, the corresponding power distribution channel is first obtained and the corresponding distribution channel number is entered using the defined channel number information. The "enable / disable command identifier" is then entered. The corresponding enable or disable command is held for a specified period of time and then sent to the corresponding device until the enable or disable command returns to its initial state. The enable or disable command content is then modified until the next operation.
[0036] Preferably, the initial state of the enable / disable instruction is 0x00000000.
[0037] Preferably, when performing an enabling operation, the distribution channel number of the enable / disable instruction is filled in with the channel number corresponding to this operation, and the "enable / disable instruction identifier" is filled in with "10", and the enable / disable instruction is maintained for 600ms and periodically sent to the intelligent distribution device until after 600ms, the enable / disable instruction becomes 0x00000000.
[0038] Preferably, when performing a disable operation, the distribution channel number of the enable / disable instruction is filled in with the channel number corresponding to this operation, the "enable / disable instruction identifier" is filled in with "01", and the enable / disable instruction is maintained for 600ms and sent to the VMC periodically until after 600ms, the enable / disable instruction becomes Ox00000000.

[0040] The specific method for checking whether the status of the distribution channel has changed is as follows: if it is a distribution channel controlled by this unit, fill in the "enable / disable instruction identifier" for the channel. After the channel disable / enable status changes, the disable / enable status remains unchanged before the next disable / enable instruction for this channel is received; if it is not a distribution channel controlled by this unit, the status of all distribution channels remains unchanged.
[0041] Step S400 sets the initial state of the reset command. During a reset operation, the corresponding power distribution channel is first obtained and the corresponding power distribution channel number is entered using the defined channel number information. The "reset command identifier" is then entered. The corresponding reset command is held for a certain period of time and then sent to the corresponding device until the reset command returns to the initial state. The reset command content is then modified until the next operation.
[0042] Preferably, the initial state of the reset instruction is 0x00000000.

[0044] In step S500, the intelligent power distribution device periodically receives the reset instruction sent by the front-end control device, reads and determines the channel number, and if it belongs to the power distribution channel controlled by this local position, performs the operation in the "reset instruction identifier" on the channel; if it does not belong to the power distribution channel controlled by this local position, the status of all power distribution channels remains unchanged.
[0045] Through the above design, the data bits of the power-on check instruction are split and defined, and the interaction principle of the power-on check instruction is clarified, which is conducive to the unified design of the intelligent power distribution equipment of the electromechanical system and improves the accuracy of the power-on check control.
