Currently, most of them use single-tube IGBT half-bridge drivers as the indispensable driving part of the controller. The reliability of IGBT, as a core device, directly affects the reliability of electronic control products. Therefore, when selecting IGBT, in addition to some basic parameters, the large current impact adaptability of an IGBT must also be considered.

[0043] The following describes the embodiments of the present application through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0044] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present application, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present application rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed at will, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0045] In the reliability testing device and method for IGBT for sewing machines of the present application, since the pulse time and width span of the pulse signal output in the sewing machine system are relatively large, and since the minimum pulse width condition of the driver chip cannot reach the minimum pulse width when the sewing machine is running, the driver chip cannot output the received pulse signal, thereby failing to control the IGBT drive motor. Therefore, when using a high-power power supply and driver, it is impossible to simulate the actual environment of the IGBT working state when the sewing machine is running.

[0046] Therefore, the present application utilizes the characteristics that the position of the motor in the sewing machine is different, and the required output mechanical power is different, so pulse signals with different duty cycles are needed to control the IGBT to drive the motor to output the target mechanical power at the corresponding position. The sewing machine, controller and motor are used as pulse signal generating devices, and a short-circuit module is set in the pulse signal generating device. The short-circuit module and the pulse signal generating device are used to perform current impact test on the IGBT, which can truly simulate the large current and narrow pulse conditions of the product, thereby more realistically testing the reliability of the driver power device IGBT.

Among them, V2X may include vehicle to network (V2N), vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), vehicle to pedestrian (V2P), Long Term Evolution-Vehicle (LTE-V), Internet of Vehicles, machine type communication (MTC), Internet of Things (IoT), Long Term Evolution-Machine (LTE-M), machine to machine (M2M), etc.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 4 The following embodiments of the present application provide a reliability test device and method for IGBT used in sewing machines. Compared with the commonly used technology, the present application utilizes the position of the motor in the sewing machine in combination with the controller to generate a large current pulse, which can truly simulate the large current narrow pulse condition of the product, thereby more truly testing the reliability of the driver power device IGBT; at the same time, the sewing machine, controller and motor are used as pulse generating devices, which can not only simulate the real use environment, but also test the current impact of the IGBT under different large current pulses and different current protection thresholds, and has strong versatility.

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the reliability testing device described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a reliability testing device 100 for an IGBT for a sewing machine, which is used to generate a large current pulse based on the sewing machine, a controller and a motor 14 and perform a current impact test on the IGBT.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the reliability testing device 100100 includes: a control module 10, a motor 14, a motor positioning module 30 and a short-circuit module 40.

[0053] In this embodiment, the motor positioning module 30 is used to adjust the position of the motor 14; the control module 10 is used to generate a large current pulse based on the position of the motor 14 to control the opening of the IGBT and drive the motor 14; the short-circuit module 40 is used to simulate the short-circuit condition and generate a current shock to perform a current shock test on the IGBT.

[0054] In this embodiment, the motor 14 is a servo motor 14 or a stepper motor 14 , and the servo motor 14 or the stepper motor 14 is provided with a magnetoelectric encoder or a photoelectric encoder.

[0055] In this embodiment, the locking structure includes: a height adjustment unit 31, and the height adjustment unit 31 is used to adjust the motor 14 to different heights.

[0056] Exemplarily, the height adjustment unit 31 is a steel plate of different thicknesses. By setting steel plates of different thicknesses in the sewing machine, the motor 14 is supported to different heights, thereby changing the position of the motor 14 in the sewing machine, that is, changing the height of the motor 14 in the sewing machine.

[0057] It should be noted that, in a sewing machine system, motors 14 of different heights need to output different mechanical powers.

[0058] In this embodiment, the target output power of the motor 14 is different when the position of the motor 14 is different. The control module 10 adjusts the proportion of the large current pulse based on the position feedback of the motor 14 to control the turning on of the IGBT.

[0059] In this embodiment, the control module 10 obtains the position of the motor 14, and based on the position of the motor 14, obtains the mechanical power that the motor 14 needs to output, thereby reversely adjusting the width of the high-current pulse signal to generate a high-current pulse that meets the actual application scenario.

[0060] Specifically, the control module 10 obtains the position of the motor 14, and based on the position of the motor 14, obtains the target output power of the motor 14 at this position, and calculates the power deviation based on the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, and then reversely adjusts the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal based on the power deviation.

[0061] Specifically, if the target output power of the motor 14 at this position is lower than the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal is controlled to be reduced to reduce the average voltage and current of the motor 14, thereby reducing the actual output power of the motor 14;

[0062] If the target output power of the motor 14 at this position is higher than the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal is controlled to increase to increase the average voltage and current of the motor 14 , thereby increasing the actual output power of the motor 14 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the short-circuit module 40 performs phase short-circuit under different currents to generate different current impact quantities.

[0064] like Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the control module 10 according to the embodiment of the present application. The control module 10 comprises: a single chip microcomputer 11, a driving circuit unit 12 and a current sampling unit 13.

[0065] In this embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer 11 is used to obtain the position of the motor 14 and output a large current pulse based on the position of the motor 14; the driving circuit unit 12 controls the opening of the IGBT based on the large current pulse, and drives the motor 14 through the IGBT; the current sampling unit 13 is used to obtain the voltage signal of the bus current of the short-circuit module 40 when the phase line is short-circuited, and send the voltage signal of the bus current to the single-chip microcomputer 11; the single-chip microcomputer 11 calculates and obtains the test data of the current impact test based on the voltage signal of the bus current.

[0066] In this embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer 11 obtains the position of the motor 14, and obtains the mechanical power required to be output by the motor 14 based on the position of the motor 14, thereby reversely adjusting the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal; the driving circuit unit 12 receives the large current pulse signal with adjusted duty cycle output by the single-chip microcomputer 11, and controls the turning on of the IGBT to further drive the motor 14 to achieve the mechanical power required to be output at this position.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the IGBT is subjected to a current impact test, when the short-circuit module 40 performs a phase line short-circuit, the current sampling unit 13 acquires the voltage signal of the bus current in real time, and sends the acquired voltage signal of the bus current to the single-chip computer 11, and the single-chip computer 11 calculates the impact current and the number of impacts during the current impact test and the IGBT protection current threshold based on the voltage signal of the bus current, wherein the IGBT protection current threshold is a preset value, a known value, and the IGBT protection current threshold can be adjusted multiple times to obtain the test results of the current impact test with different IGBT protection current thresholds under the same bus current condition.

[0068] Exemplarily, the current sampling unit 13 uses a sampling resistor and an operational amplifier, and amplifies the voltage signal across the sampling resistor to obtain the voltage signal of the bus current.

[0069] Specifically, the inrush current is calculated based on the acquired voltage signal of the bus current and the resistance value of the sampling resistor.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in some implementations, the reliability testing device 100 further includes: a display module 50 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the display module 50 is connected to the control module 10 for receiving and displaying test data of a current impact test; the test data of the current impact test includes: an IGBT protection current threshold, an impact current, and a number of impacts.

[0072] Specifically, the display module 50 is connected to the control module 10 for communication, receives the test data of the current impact test output by the single chip computer 11, and displays the test data for recording and observation.

[0073] In this embodiment, the display module 50 can also be used to adjust the output current to further adjust the duty cycle of the large current pulse.

[0074] Specifically, the display module 50 is used to adjust corresponding component parameters to further adjust the output current.

[0075] When the reliability test of the IGBT is performed on the sewing machine head and in the actual environment of the head, the initial position of the head connecting rod structure (not shown, which is a common structure in the sewing machine system) can be adjusted through the display module 50 to debug the output current.

[0076] It should be understood that the division of modules in the embodiments of the present application is schematic and is only a logical function division. There may be other division methods in actual implementation. In addition, each functional module in each embodiment of the present application may be integrated into a processor, or may exist physically separately, or two or more modules may be integrated into one module. The above-mentioned integrated modules may be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of software functional modules.

[0078] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 Detailed description. Figure 3 The flowchart of the reliability test method of the IGBT for sewing machine in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The reliability test method in this embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S1: Acquire the position of the motor 14 .

[0080] Specifically, the position of the motor 14 is acquired through the control module 10 .

[0081] Step S2 : Based on the position of the motor 14 , a large current pulse is generated to control turning on the IGBT and drive the motor 14 .

[0082] Specifically, the control module 10 obtains the mechanical power that the motor 14 needs to output based on the position of the motor 14, thereby reversely adjusting the width of the high-current pulse signal to generate a high-current pulse that meets the actual application scenario.

[0083] Specifically, the control module 10 obtains the position of the motor 14, and based on the position of the motor 14, obtains the target output power of the motor 14 at this position, and calculates the power deviation based on the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, and then reversely adjusts the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal based on the power deviation.

[0084] Specifically, if the target output power of the motor 14 at this position is lower than the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal is controlled to be reduced to reduce the average voltage and current of the motor 14, thereby reducing the actual output power of the motor 14;

[0085] If the target output power of the motor 14 at this position is higher than the actual output power of the motor 14 at this position, the duty cycle of the large current pulse signal is controlled to increase to increase the average voltage and current of the motor 14 , thereby increasing the actual output power of the motor 14 .

[0086] Step S3: simulating a short-circuit condition by using the short-circuit module 40 to generate a current impulse to perform a current impulse test on the IGBT.

[0087] In some implementations, the short-circuit module 40 is used to simulate a short-circuit condition and generate a current shock to perform a current shock test on the IGBT, including: under the current condition of the large current pulse, adjusting the current protection threshold of the IGBT, and performing a current shock test on the IGBT based on different current protection thresholds.

[0088] Step S4: adjusting the position of the motor 14 to obtain different high current pulses; based on the different high current pulses, using the short circuit module 40 to simulate short circuit conditions, generating current shocks to perform current shock tests on the IGBT.

[0089] In some implementations, the position of the motor 14 is adjusted by the control module 10 to adjust the duty cycle of the high current pulse based on the position of the motor 14 to generate a high current pulse that meets the actual application scenario.

[0090] Step S5: Count the test data when performing current impact test based on the different large current pulses and the different current protection thresholds; based on the test data, obtain the relationship between the IGBT failure rate and the number of current impacts based on different large current pulses and based on different current protection thresholds.
