Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to a vehicle fault diagnosis circuit, a diagnosis method and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The hydraulic braking system of a vehicle usually includes several solenoid valves for controlling the on-off of hydraulic circuit nodes, thereby generating different braking pressures. The movement of the solenoid valve is usually controlled by the electromagnetic force generated by the coil. Considering safety and failure consequences, the circuit for controlling the on-off of the coil generally includes a high-side switch, a low-side switch, and a diagnostic circuit designed to diagnose switch circuit and coil faults.

[0003] An electronic control system may include multiple coils, and these coils are controlled by a shared high-side switch and respective independent low-side switches. Usually, the high-side switch and the low-side switch are composed of NMOS and are driven by an ASIC chip. However, the fault diagnosis of the ASIC requires at least one of the high-side switch and the low-side switch to be turned on.

In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally means an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment introduces a vehicle fault diagnosis circuit, including an auxiliary diagnosis power supply circuit, a high-side sampling circuit, a low-side sampling circuit, a coil loop current detection circuit, a coil, a high-side switch, and a low-side switch.

[0045] The auxiliary diagnosis power supply circuit is connected to the coil loop current detection circuit, and the auxiliary diagnosis power supply circuit is used to control the on / off of the auxiliary diagnosis power supply.

[0047] The high-side sampling circuit is connected to the first end of the coil, and the high-side sampling circuit is used to collect the high-side voltage of the coil.

[0048] The low-side sampling circuit is connected to the second end of the coil, the second end of the coil is connected to the low-side switch, and the low-side sampling circuit is used to collect the low-side voltage of the coil.

[0049] As Figure 2As shown, the high-side switch and the low-side switch are composed of NMOS transistors, and the driving is controlled by an ASIC chip. The high-side switch includes a first NMOS transistor DRVM1, and the first NMOS transistor DRVM1 is turned on or off by a driving signal RCOIL_GATE1 to realize the opening or closing of the high-side switch. The low-side switch includes a second NMOS transistor DRVM2, and the second NMOS transistor DRVM2 is turned on or off by a driving signal RCOIL_GATE2 to realize the opening or closing of the low-side switch.

[0050] The types of faults are divided into high-side switch faults, coil faults, and low-side switch faults. High-side faults include overcurrent, high-side open circuit, high-side short to power supply, high-side short to ground, etc. Coil faults include coil short circuit, coil open circuit, coil overload, etc. Low-side faults include low-side open circuit, low-side short to power supply, low-side short to ground, etc. The specific type of fault is determined according to the sampling results of the high-side sampling circuit, the sampling results of the low-side sampling circuit, and the detection results of the coil loop current detection circuit.

[0051] In the present invention, by setting an auxiliary diagnostic power supply circuit to control the on / off of the auxiliary diagnostic power supply, it is possible to not only perform diagnosis but also control the current passing through the coil so that its electromagnetic force is not sufficient to change the existing state of the solenoid valve. Furthermore, it is possible to detect the coil without opening the high-side safety switch. At the same time, the diagnosis is controllable, avoiding an increase in the static operating current. And when a short-circuit fault occurs, the auxiliary diagnostic power supply can be turned off to improve safety.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the auxiliary diagnostic power supply circuit includes a composite transistor, and the composite transistor includes a first transistor Q1A and a second transistor Q1B. The first transistor Q1A is an NPN-type transistor, and the second transistor Q1B is a PNP-type transistor.

[0055] By switching the control signal RCOIL_CTRL between high and low levels, the on-off control of the composite transistor can be achieved, thereby turning on or off the auxiliary diagnostic power supply.

[0059] The third resistor R3 is a high-precision sampling resistor. The voltage difference between the first sampling port RCOIL_TEST1 and the second sampling port RCOIL_TEST2 is proportional to the current flowing through the third resistor R3, and thus the current of the coil loop is calculated.

The first end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first end of the coil, and the second end of the sixth resistor R6 is respectively connected to the first end of the seventh resistor R7, the first end of the third capacitor C3, and the third sampling port RCOIL_SUP_FBK. The second end of the seventh resistor R7 and the second end of the third capacitor C3 are grounded.

[0061] As Figure 2 shown, the sixth resistor R6 samples the high-side voltage of the coil. The sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor form a voltage-dividing circuit to convert the high-side voltage of the coil into a voltage within the voltage range recognizable by the single-chip microcomputer. The third capacitor C3 is used to filter out interference.

[0062] In this embodiment, the low-side sampling circuit includes an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, and a fourth capacitor C4. The first end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the second end of the coil, and the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is respectively connected to the first end of the ninth resistor R9, the first end of the fourth capacitor C4, and the fourth sampling port FR_NC_FBK. The second end of the ninth resistor R9 and the second end of the fourth capacitor C4 are grounded.

[0063] As Figure 2 shown, the eighth resistor R8 samples the low-side voltage of the coil. The eighth resistor R8 and the ninth resistor R9 form a voltage-dividing circuit to convert the low-side voltage of the coil into a voltage within the voltage range recognizable by the single-chip microcomputer.
