Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a simulation device control method.

[0020] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the simulation equipment control method of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the simulation equipment control method includes: Step S10: The host computer obtains a configuration instruction. The configuration instruction includes a simulation device to be controlled and a control rack to be controlled. The simulation device to be controlled is connected to a relay, and the relay includes connection paths between the relay and multiple racks.

[0021] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of an embodiment of the simulation equipment control method of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, configuration commands can be generated by the user through cloud distribution or via a Python client interface on a host computer. Their data structure can include identifiers for the simulated device to be controlled (such as simulation device type and serial number), identifiers for the test bench to be controlled (such as bench number and test domain type), and test parameters. Specifically, when the user selects a specific test bench (such as "Test Bench 3 - Intelligent Driving Domain Test Bench") and the required simulated device (such as "CANoe Device" or "Microphone Array") on the front-end interface, the system can automatically generate configuration commands in JSON format, for example: The configuration command, {"devices":["CANoe_001","MIC_ARRAY_002"],"bench":"BENCH_003","test_type":"ADAS_TEST"}, can be transmitted to the host computer control system via an HTTP RESTful API interface. Upon receiving the command, the host computer first verifies its integrity and then parses the mapping relationship between the simulation equipment and the test bench, providing a decision-making basis for subsequent relay control. This process achieves parameterization and standardization of test configuration, avoids manual configuration errors, and significantly improves test preparation efficiency.

[0022] Each simulation device is configured with a corresponding relay. Relays are relatively inexpensive. (Continue referring to...) Figure 2The Tongxing simulation device connects to relay A, and the ADB simulation device connects to relay B. Each relay includes connection paths to multiple test benches. For example, relay A has four paths, used to connect to test benches A, B, and C, as well as the host computer. Therefore, during simulation testing, relay A can be controlled based on configuration commands to connect the Tongxing simulation device to test benches A, B, or C, allowing the Tongxing simulation device to perform simulation tests on different test benches. It's easy to understand that the number of paths for each relay can be flexibly expanded according to the number of test benches.

[0023] In step S20, the host computer sends a control command to the relay connected to the simulation device to be controlled, controlling the relay to open the connection path between itself and the control rack, and close the connection path between itself and other racks, so that the host computer can use the simulation device to be controlled and the control rack to perform simulation tests.

[0024] In this embodiment, we continue to refer to... Figure 2 The host computer establishes a communication connection with the relay controller via USB or serial port, and uses a custom instruction set based on the Modbus RTU protocol for control. The control instructions include the relay address, target channel number, and operation type (on / off). For example, when the device to be controlled is a satellite-based simulation device, and the control rack is rack A, the host computer sends the control instruction [0x01, 0x05, 0x00, 0x03, 0xFF, 0x00, CRC] to relay A connected to the satellite-based simulation device. Here, 0x01 is the simulation device address, 0x05 is the instruction to write a single coil, 0x0003 is the target channel number, and 0xFF00 indicates that the connection is on. After receiving the command, the controller of relay A drives the corresponding electromagnetic coil through its internal MCU, physically switching the signal path, opening the connection between relay A and test bench A, and closing the connection between relay A and test benches B and C. In this way, the host computer can use the Tongxing simulation equipment to perform simulation tests on test bench A. Based on the same control method, the host computer can control relay A to enable the Tongxing simulation equipment to perform simulation tests on test benches B or C. This allows for efficient and low-cost sharing of simulation equipment across multiple test benches. To complete different simulation test projects, the simulation equipment can be flexibly connected to different test benches, thus avoiding the current problem of configuring multiple simulation devices for each test bench or disassembling and installing simulation equipment from one test bench to another.

[0025] In this embodiment, configuration instructions can be generated by the user via cloud distribution or through a Python client interface on a host computer. When the user selects a specific test bench and the required simulation equipment on the front-end interface, the system automatically generates configuration instructions in JSON format. Upon receiving the instructions, the host computer first verifies their integrity and then parses the mapping relationship between the simulation equipment and the test bench, providing a decision-making basis for subsequent relay control. This process achieves parameterization and standardization of test configuration, avoiding manual configuration errors and significantly improving test preparation efficiency. Each simulation equipment is configured with a corresponding relay, which is low-cost, and the number of paths for each relay can be flexibly expanded according to the number of test benches. This allows for efficient and low-cost sharing of simulation equipment across multiple test benches. To complete different simulation test projects, simulation equipment can be flexibly connected to different test benches, thus avoiding the current problem of configuring multiple simulation equipment sets for each test bench or disassembling and installing simulation equipment from one test bench to another.

[0026] Furthermore, in one embodiment, there are multiple simulation devices to be controlled, each simulation device being connected to a relay. The host computer sending control commands to the relays connected to the simulation devices to be controlled includes: The host computer sends control commands to the relays connected to each simulated device to be controlled.

[0027] In this embodiment, we continue to refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 The system shows two simulation devices: Tongxing and ADB. Tongxing is connected to relay A, and ADB is connected to relay B. When a simulation test scenario requires the simultaneous use of multiple simulation devices (such as the intelligent cockpit test requiring simultaneous connection of CANoe, ADB, and a microphone array), the host computer sends control commands to the relays connected to each simulation device to be controlled, enabling each relay to open the connection path between itself and the test bench. This allows multiple simulation devices to be connected to the same test bench for simulation testing. Specifically, the host computer can adopt a parallel control strategy. Based on the list of simulation devices to be controlled in the configuration command, the host computer queries the simulation device-relay mapping table to determine the relay address corresponding to each device, and then constructs a command queue to send control commands to the corresponding relays in parallel. To avoid timing issues when switching between multiple simulation devices, the system introduces the concept of "atomic operation": configuration is considered complete only after all relevant relays have been switched. During this period, the host computer maintains a locked test environment state to prevent test anomalies caused by some simulation devices being connected while others are not.

[0028] Furthermore, in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is another flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the simulation equipment control method of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, before step S10, the following steps are included: Step S00: Based on the simulation test scenario, select the simulation device to be controlled and the test bench to be controlled from multiple simulation devices and multiple test benches, and generate configuration instructions based on the selected simulation device to be controlled and the test bench to be controlled.

[0029] In this embodiment, the system has a built-in test scenario knowledge base containing standard equipment configuration templates for different test domains (such as intelligent cockpit, connected vehicle domain, and intelligent driving domain). For example, when the user selects the "automatic parking test" scenario, the system automatically recommends the required combination of simulation equipment (such as camera simulator, ultrasonic radar simulator, CANoe, etc.) and compatible test benches. The user can make fine adjustments based on this, and the system verifies equipment compatibility in real time and alerts to potential conflicts. The configuration generation stage also introduces a resource optimization algorithm, which intelligently recommends idle equipment based on historical equipment usage data and current occupancy status to maximize equipment utilization. Finally, configuration instructions are generated based on the user's operation selection of simulation equipment and test benches.

[0030] Further, in one embodiment, before step S10, the following steps are included: Configuration commands are sent to the host computer via the cloud.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cloud-based test management platform establishes a secure communication channel (e.g., using TLS 1.3 encryption) with the local host computer to enable remote distribution of test commands. Test engineers can create test tasks from any location via a web interface. The cloud platform converts the tasks into standardized configuration commands, which are then digitally signed and pushed to the host computer. The host computer verifies the reliability of the command source through certificates, ensuring system security.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the simulation device control method further includes: By configuring commands, multiple test benches can be used alternately to use multiple simulation devices to execute different simulation test projects.

[0033] In this embodiment, the system implements an intelligent scheduling engine that can automatically generate the optimal device sharing scheme based on test priority, device dependencies, and bench status. For example, when bench A completes the CAN bus test using the CANoe device, the scheduling engine immediately triggers device switching, releasing the CANoe device and connecting it to the waiting bench B, while simultaneously starting the next test for bench A (audio test without CANoe). During scheduling, the system maintains a device status matrix, tracking the occupancy status and estimated release time of each device in real time, enabling collaborative work among multiple benches and devices. In extreme testing scenarios, a single expensive CANoe simulation device can serve eight test benches simultaneously, significantly improving the daily utilization rate of simulation devices and greatly shortening the return on investment cycle of expensive simulation devices. This dynamic resource sharing mechanism completely solves the long-standing contradiction of "equipment idleness and contention" in the automotive testing field, significantly reducing the cost of test infrastructure investment for automakers.

The configuration instructions include a simulation device to be controlled and a control rack. The simulation device to be controlled is connected to a relay, and the relay includes connection paths between the relay and multiple racks. The control module 20 is used by the host computer to send control commands to the relays connected to the simulation device to be controlled, controlling the relays to open the connection path between the relay and the control rack, and close the connection path between the relay and other racks, so that the host computer can use the simulation device to be controlled and the control rack to perform simulation tests.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, there are multiple simulation devices to be controlled, each simulation device being connected to a relay. The host computer sends control commands to the relays connected to the simulation devices to be controlled for: The host computer sends control commands to the relays connected to each simulated device to be controlled.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the simulation equipment control device further includes a generation module, used for: Based on the simulation test scenario, select the simulation device to be controlled and the test bench to be controlled from multiple simulation devices and multiple test benches, and generate configuration instructions based on the selected simulation device to be controlled and the test bench to be controlled.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the simulation device control apparatus further includes a sending module, used for: Configuration commands are sent to the host computer via the cloud.
