Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of detection, specifically a method for detecting multi-output driver boards. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the motors used in weaponry, such as fans and pumps, have been upgraded from traditional DC motors to brushless DC motors. Brushless DC motors offer higher efficiency, generate less unnecessary heat, and are more suitable for long-term operation; they also eliminate the mechanical wear of carbon brushes, resulting in a longer service life. However, brushless DC motors require electronic commutation. To ensure miniaturization and weight reduction, the current requirement is for a single driver to drive multiple motors simultaneously. Therefore, the power drive board of this type of driver needs to be tested during the manufacturing process to improve the product qualification rate.
[0003] However, most of the power drive boards used in current drivers perform single-output detection. If multiple outputs are involved, multiple tests are required, which takes a relatively long time and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting a multi-output driver board, comprising the following steps:
[0005] 1) Arrange the driver board testing fixture; the driver board testing fixture includes a driver board, a switching power supply module, a horn-shaped adapter board, a toggle switch, a single-pole double-throw switch, and a fault light;
[0006] Connect the driver board testing fixture to the three-phase cable of the motor;
[0007] 2) Turn on the toggle switch, use the switching power supply module to convert the 220VAC mains power to 24VDC, and input it to the driver board through the cable;
[0008] 3) Use the horn-shaped adapter board to provide n sets of 6-channel PWM drive signals to the driver board; n represents the number of motors connected to the driver board;
[0009] 4) When the single-pole double-throw switch is turned on, the driver board transmits control signals to the motor based on the PWM drive signal, controlling the motor to rotate forward and backward and stop;
[0010] If a fault light illuminates during this process, the driver board is faulty.
[0011] Furthermore, the drive board testing fixture is fixed inside the housing using Phillips head countersunk screws, Phillips head combination screws, Phillips head combination screws, Phillips head combination screws, single-ended hexagonal studs, Phillips head combination screws, and single-ended hexagonal studs.
[0012] Furthermore, the housing is made of DC-63 aluminum profile.
[0013] Furthermore, the steps for arranging the driver board testing fixture include:
[0014] Connect the driver output to the Hall sensor and phase line of each motor in sequence; and connect a fault light and a single-pole double-throw switch between the driver and each motor.
[0015] Connect the driver input terminal to the toggle switch and the switching power supply module in sequence;
[0016] Connect the horn-shaped adapter board to the driver board.
[0017] Furthermore, the cable is equipped with a waterproof cable connector.
[0018] The technical effect of this invention is beyond doubt; this invention can effectively improve the detection efficiency of a single multi-output power driver board. Attached Figure Description
