Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power system automation, and particularly relates to an electromagnetic interference precise injection device and method for loop-level immunity verification. Background Art

[0002] Existing electromagnetic immunity test methods mainly inject electromagnetic interference signals through the external ports of devices, and cannot accurately locate the electromagnetic sensitive points inside the devices. This method treats the device as a black box, ignoring the internal loop and hardware structure characteristics of the device, which limits the test accuracy. In addition, the structure of traditional injection devices is fixed and the operation is cumbersome, and it is impossible to achieve flexible handheld injection operation, let alone accurately inject into the sensitive points of the device under test; at the same time, there are delays and distortions in the waveform monitoring of the injected signal, and the injected waveform cannot be displayed in real time.

[0003] The patent application number is CN202123347273.8, named "An injection device for transient pulse interference". This patent is an injection device for transient pulse interference, and its system composition includes a pulse generator, a coupling network and an injection probe. The pulse generator emits electromagnetic interference signals; the coupling network is a capacitive coupling network, and the injection probe includes a 50Ω BNC connector, a double-layer shielded coaxial metal wire, and an alligator clip output terminal. Its principle is to simulate electromagnetic interference signals through a pulse signal generator, and transmit the signals to the injection probe without distortion through a capacitive coupling network, and finally inject them into each port of the device under test through the probe.

[0004] However, the existing technology has the following problems:

[0005] (1) It is impossible to accurately achieve loop-level injection of interference signals: Most electromagnetic immunity test methods can only inject interference signals through the external ports of devices, and it is difficult to accurately inject electromagnetic interference signals into specific internal loops of devices. This method can only evaluate the overall immunity of the device, and it is difficult to identify the electromagnetic sensitive points of each functional module inside the device. Especially in multi-layer PCB boards or complex circuit structures, the test accuracy is limited, resulting in an incomplete evaluation of the immunity of specific functional modules inside the device.

[0006] (2) Lack of immunity test under multi-stress environments: Traditional immunity test systems are limited by the scale of the test platform and usually can only simulate a single electromagnetic interference, and it is difficult to superimpose other environmental stresses (such as high and low temperature stresses), and it is impossible to test the immunity performance of devices in multi-stress environments such as high and low temperature chambers. This limitation makes the existing systems difficult to meet the actual working environment requirements of devices under complex stress superposition conditions, reducing the reference value and authenticity of the test results.

[0007] (3) Single probe design and inconvenient operation: The existing electromagnetic interference injection device is large in design volume and its structure is not flexible enough. The probe lacks miniaturization and handheld design, making it difficult to meet the requirements of fine operation. When conducting tests, operators have difficulty flexibly switching injection points in complex hardware circuits, and need to frequently switch different coupling networks or attenuation circuits during interference injection, which not only increases the operation difficulty, but also reduces the test efficiency and flexibility.

[0008] (4) Insufficient real-time signal acquisition and monitoring: The real-time monitoring and signal acquisition capabilities of traditional injection devices are relatively limited. Especially in a high-intensity electromagnetic interference environment, it is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring of waveforms, and signal acquisition is easily interfered and distorted. This defect makes it impossible to accurately record the instantaneous changes of the injected signal, increasing test errors and affecting the reliability of test results.

[0009] (5) Lack of modular design to meet multi-band coupling and attenuation requirements: The coupling network and attenuation module designs in existing injection systems are usually relatively simple and difficult to adapt to interference signals of different frequency bands. For scenarios that require multi-band switching in the same device, existing devices cannot flexibly adjust coupling and attenuation parameters, resulting in insufficient test responses when the device faces interference environments of different frequency bands and intensities, limiting the comprehensiveness of immunity verification.

[0010] (6) Insufficient high-voltage and high-current protection design: In existing test systems, many injection devices do not consider high-voltage resistance design, resulting in easy damage to equipment or introduction of additional interference when injecting high-voltage electromagnetic interference signals. In addition, existing equipment often lacks reliable electrical isolation and insulation protection in high-voltage and high-current environments, increasing safety risks and affecting the stability and accuracy of tests. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Further, the handheld injection probe has a pen-shaped structure and includes a housing. A shielding partition is disposed in the center of the housing along its axial direction to divide the internal space of the housing into two parts, forming the double-cavity structure;

[0025] One end face of the housing along its axial direction is divided into two isolated regions, which are respectively in communication with the interference injection cavity and the signal acquisition cavity, and can both contact the sensitive points of the hardware circuit. They serve as the interference signal injection window of the interference injection cavity and the signal detection window of the signal acquisition cavity respectively;

[0026] The interference signal injection window and the signal detection window of the signal acquisition cavity are respectively connected to the PCB through spring pins.

[0027] Further, a clamping and fixing device is provided at the other end of the housing along its axial direction for mounting the handheld injection probe on different platforms.

[0028] Further, the handheld injection probe adopts multi-layer internal and external shielding, specifically:

Compared with the traditional external port injection method, this design enables the system to penetrate into specific circuits inside the device, accurately identify and evaluate the immunity of electromagnetic sensitive points, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and effectiveness of testing and meeting the refined testing requirements.

[0040] (2)Flexible signal attenuation and coupling network switching: The probe integrates multiple groups of switchable attenuation networks and coupling networks. Operators can switch between different signal paths and attenuation multiples through simple magnetic control switches or mechanical sliding switches, adapting to the requirements of interference signals with multiple frequencies and intensities, significantly improving the flexibility and efficiency of operation, and adapting to a variety of complex test environments.

[0041] (3)Efficient signal acquisition and real-time waveform monitoring: The signal acquisition module in the probe has high-efficiency real-time acquisition and transmission capabilities. It is connected to an oscilloscope located in a shielding box through a signal connector to achieve precise monitoring of the interference signal waveform. This design ensures the synchronization of injected and acquired signals, provides distortion-free waveform display, makes the test data more complete and accurate, and effectively avoids signal distortion problems in traditional tests.

[0042] (4)Superior electromagnetic interference resistance performance: The probe uses a lightweight aluminum alloy shell and combines high-insulation silica gel as a filling material to form a double electromagnetic shielding protection. The shielding partition further improves the electromagnetic isolation effect between the front and rear cavities, ensuring the stable operation of the probe in a high-interference environment and guaranteeing the reliability and anti-interference performance of signal transmission.

[0043] (5)Multi-stress environment adaptability: The present invention supports immunity tests in multi-stress environments. It can be placed in a high and low temperature test chamber to simulate the conditions of the superposition of temperature stress and electromagnetic interference, and conduct immunity verification closer to the actual working environment.

The structure and working principle of the device are as Figures 1 to 5 shown, mainly including components such as an electromagnetic interference signal generator, a handheld injection probe, an oscilloscope placed in a shielding box, a coaxial transmission line, a coupling network, and an attenuation network. Specifically, it includes:

[0126] This device mainly includes modules such as an electromagnetic interference signal generator, a handheld injection probe, an oscilloscope placed in a shielding box, a coaxial transmission line, a coupling network, and an attenuation network. The electromagnetic interference signal generator generates interference signals with specific frequencies and intensities, which are transmitted to the handheld injection probe through the coaxial transmission line. The coupling network inside the probe precisely injects the interference signal into a specific loop inside the device, and the signal is transmitted to the oscilloscope placed in the shielding box after being adjusted by the attenuation network to ensure stable monitoring of the signal.

[0127] (2) Structure and function of the handheld injection probe

[0128] Two independent cavities are designed inside the handheld injection probe: the interference coupling cavity is used for the transmission of interference signals, and the signal attenuation cavity is used for signal acquisition and processing. A central shielding partition is set between the two cavities, and insulating silica gel is filled on both sides of the partition to ensure electrical insulation in a high-voltage environment and the independence of the cavity structure. The design of the probe enables it to accurately locate the injection point of the interference signal in a complex hardware loop and real-time acquire the response of the interference signal, supporting the requirements of multi-point testing and acquisition.

[0129] (3) Hardware loop structure

[0130] The hardware loop of the device under test includes multiple functional modules and sensitive points, and can realize immunity testing from the overall level to the chip pin level. The hardware loop supports multi-point interference signal injection and global scanning, and tests the immunity of each module under different interference conditions by precisely injecting interference signals and acquiring signals at key sensitive points inside the device.

[0131] (4) Dual-cavity structure design and housing material

[0132] The handheld injection probe adopts a dual-cavity parallel design. The central shielding partition is used to separate the interference coupling network and the attenuation network into two independent cavities, and high-insulation silica gel is filled around the partition to form an insulating structure with high voltage resistance and anti-interference. The shell is made of lightweight aluminum alloy material, and an aluminum foil shielding layer is added to the inner surface; the outside is covered with elastic rubber and a metal braid layer to form a multi-layer shielding protection, providing high-strength electromagnetic isolation and anti-impact protection.

[0133] (5)Coupling Network Design and Component Selection

[0134] The coupling network includes multiple coupling capacitors and resistors. The capacitors are selected as high-voltage-resistant ceramic capacitors (C1, C2, C3), and the resistors are selected as metal film resistors (R s1 , R s2 ), ensuring that signals can be transmitted safely and stably under high-voltage interference signal injection conditions. Each coupling loop realizes three-level switching through a magnetron switch and a reed switch to meet the transmission requirements of multi-band interference signals.

[0135] The specific component selection is as follows:

[0136] Coupling capacitors: High-voltage-resistant ceramic capacitors of 10pF, 20pF, and 47pF are used to adapt to the signal requirements of different frequency bands and ensure stability in a high-voltage environment.

[0137] Series resistors: High-precision metal film resistors of 100Ω and 200Ω are selected to ensure stable impedance matching and meet the requirements of different test conditions.

[0138] Switching different coupling paths is achieved through the combination of a reed switch and a magnetron switch. The built-in three-level and switching switch of the probe can flexibly adjust the signal path to meet the multi-band signal injection requirements. The reed switch component is selected as a high-voltage-tolerant model to ensure the safety and reliability of high-voltage signals.

[0139] (6)Attenuation Network (Backhaul Circuit) Design and Component Selection

[0140] The attenuation network is used to adjust the intensity of the backhaul signal, and two attenuation ratios of 10 times and 100 times are designed. The key components include high-voltage-resistant metal oxide film resistors (ensuring signal stability under high-voltage conditions) and high-frequency ferrite inductance L0. The backhaul circuit also adds a high-voltage-resistant insulation coating at key parts to ensure electrical insulation in a high-voltage environment. The specific component selection is as follows:

[0141] Attenuation resistors: The 10-fold attenuation and 100-fold attenuation gears are realized by 1MΩ and 10MΩ high-voltage-resistant metal oxide film resistors to ensure accurate signal attenuation.

[0142] High-frequency inductor: A high-permeability ferrite inductor is selected to filter out high-frequency noise and maintain signal purity.

[0143] Switching between different attenuation paths is achieved through a mechanical sliding switch. An internal two-position switch can be used to flexibly adjust the signal path to meet the injection requirements of signals with different intensities.

[0144] (7)Signal connector design and high-voltage protection

[0145] The hole and slot at the probe tail are hollowed out. The flexible coaxial cable is directly connected from the shielding partition to the external generator or oscilloscope, providing efficient signal transmission and reducing signal loss.

[0146] A signal connector is used for the connection between the PCB and the flexible cable. A high-voltage-resistant connector is used on the coupling network side, and a signal connector is used on the attenuation network side. The design of the connector involves a high-voltage insulation sheath and high-voltage-resistant filling materials to ensure safe connection under high-voltage conditions. A groove structure is also designed at the bottom of the probe to facilitate fixation with the auxiliary fixture and ensure stability in various environments such as a high and low temperature test chamber.

According to the test requirements, a single interference signal output or a multiple signal superposition mode can be selected to simulate the electromagnetic interference situation in the real working environment.

[0152] (3)Probe coupling network configuration

[0153] According to the requirements of the device test frequency band, different coupling capacitance values (such as 10 pF, 20 pF, 47 pF) are switched through the magnetic control switch of the handheld injection probe to achieve precise coupling of interference signals in different frequency bands. The combination of the reed switch and the magnetic control switch realizes the switching of different coupling paths to ensure effective coupling of signals in different frequency bands.

[0154] (4)Setting of signal attenuation ratio

[0155] Use the mechanical slide switch inside the probe to switch the attenuation ratio (such as 10 times or 100 times), and adjust the signal strength to adapt to the monitoring range of the oscilloscope placed in the shielding box. The high-voltage resistors and high-frequency inductors in the attenuation network ensure the stable transmission of signals under high-voltage and high-frequency conditions, preventing signal distortion.

[0156] (5) Connect and position the probe

[0157] Align the tip probe of the handheld injection probe with a specific sensitive point on the hardware loop of the device under test. Connect the ground wire interface to ensure electromagnetic compatibility during the test, and ensure that the probe is in a stable state before contacting the sensitive point for accurate signal injection.

[0158] (6) Interference signal injection

[0159] Start the electromagnetic interference signal generator, and transmit the signal to the handheld injection probe through a flexible coaxial cable. After the tip probe contacts the sensitive point of the device, the probe accurately injects the interference signal into the device loop to simulate the device response under real electromagnetic interference conditions.

[0160] (7) Real-time monitoring and recording

[0161] The handheld injection probe is connected to the oscilloscope placed in the shielding box to monitor the waveform of the interference signal at the sensitive point in real time. Record the response of the device during the interference injection process, including changes and distortions of the signal waveform, for subsequent analysis.

[0162] (8) Multi-point interference injection

[0163] To comprehensively evaluate the immunity of the device, point-by-point tests can be carried out at different sensitive points in the hardware loop. Inject the interference signal each time and monitor its response, repeating steps (3) to (7) to test the electromagnetic immunity of the device at different sensitive points.

[0164] (9) Multi-stress test

[0165] Place the hardware loop and the handheld injection probe in a high and low temperature test chamber, and superimpose temperature stress to simulate the working state of the device in extreme environments. The temperature range (such as -40°C to 85°C) and the superposition of electromagnetic interference signals simulate the immunity of the device in real environments. Repeat the interference injection and waveform monitoring, and record the response of the device under complex stress conditions.

[0166] (10) Analysis and evaluation

[0167] Analyze the test data of each sensitive point to evaluate the electromagnetic immunity of the device.
