Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle electrical system testing technology, specifically to a method and system for detecting leakage current in vehicles without power interruption. Background Technology

[0002] As automotive electronic and electrical architectures become increasingly complex, problems such as excessive dark current or dormant current generated when the vehicle is in a quiet state, leading to battery depletion, vehicle starting failure, reduced range in new energy vehicles, and even electrical fires, are becoming increasingly prominent. Accurate and efficient detection of low-voltage leakage faults is a crucial aspect of automotive repair and maintenance.

[0003] Traditional detection methods have three major contradictions:

[0004] First, there is a conflict between the need for detection and system protection. The standard method for detecting dormant current is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and connect an ammeter in series after the vehicle enters dormant mode. However, disconnecting the power will cause the loss of a large amount of memory data (such as adaptive learning values, clock, and seat position) in electronic control units (ECUs) such as the engine, transmission, windows, and audio system. When the vehicle is powered on again, it will require cumbersome matching, reset, or learning, and may even generate fault codes, leading to customer complaints.

[0005] Second, there is a conflict between operational complexity and repair efficiency. Traditional methods typically require two people: one to unplug and plug fuses to locate the leakage circuit, and the other to monitor the ammeter reading. A single complete test can take more than two hours, significantly consuming valuable repair workstation resources.

[0006] Third, there is a contradiction between measurement accuracy and fault identification. The current range accuracy of multimeters commonly used in repair shops is usually ±(1%-3%), which is insufficient for identifying micro-current leakage faults of ≤10mA, easily leading to misdiagnosis. In addition, when removing or inserting fuses, the module will generate a momentary large current surge due to power failure and restart, often causing ordinary multimeter fuses to burn out.

[0007] The existing solution involves using a multimeter with a clamp-on ammeter for continuous testing. Specifically, the technician uses a high-sensitivity clamp-on meter to clamp onto the negative terminal of the battery, without disconnecting the circuit, and directly reads the current value.

[0008] This solution has the following technical defects and limitations:

[0009] Serious issues with accuracy and zero drift: Clamp meters are based on the Hall effect or fluxgate principle, making them susceptible to interference from ambient magnetic fields and causing severe zero drift. They cannot accurately measure small DC currents below 50mA and cannot meet the accuracy requirements for detecting dormant currents (20-50mA).

[0010] Inability to cover all scenarios: When it is necessary to disconnect the line to connect a more accurate shunt or troubleshoot a specific node, this solution is helpless and cannot achieve true "end-to-end" uninterrupted power detection.

[0011] Lack of intelligent operating condition guidance: The equipment only provides current values ​​and cannot identify whether the vehicle has truly entered a "sleep" state. Maintenance personnel can only rely on experience to wait for the current to stabilize and cannot determine which module is working, resulting in low diagnostic efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method and system for detecting leakage current in vehicles without power interruption, aiming to achieve uninterrupted power interruption detection in all scenarios, avoid data loss and system malfunction, and improve detection accuracy and efficiency.

[0038] S620, displays the compensated current data in real time, generates a dynamic curve of current changing with time, and marks each plateau period in the current decrease process;

[0039] S630, when the vehicle is detected to have entered a stable sleep state, the current compensated current data is compared with the preset sleep current threshold. If the current compensated current data is greater than the preset sleep current threshold, a leakage current exceeding the standard judgment result is generated.

The detection accuracy is 10-30 times higher than that of traditional solutions.

[0071] S700 outputs a detection report based on the leakage current determination result.

[0072] This invention provides a method and system for detecting vehicle leakage current without power interruption. By employing a dual-path uninterrupted power supply module, the entire detection process is kept powered on, completely resolving the data loss and system instability issues caused by the requirement for power disconnection in traditional leakage current detection methods. Through a high-precision bidirectional current detection module combined with multi-dimensional error compensation processing, the overall system measurement error is reduced to within ±0.1%, enabling reliable identification of milliampere-level micro-current leakage faults. The intelligent control and data processing module identifies vehicle operating conditions and guides the detection process, transforming the complex leakage current diagnosis process into on-screen guided operations, significantly improving detection efficiency and user-friendliness.

[0073] The core of this embodiment lies in the vehicle uninterrupted power leakage detection system, which achieves uninterrupted power leakage detection through dual-path power supply maintenance, high-precision bidirectional current detection, and intelligent operating condition recognition.

[0074] The vehicle uninterruptible power leakage detection system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a dual-path uninterruptible power supply module (including parallel-to-series wiring harness and OBD power supply wiring harness), a high-precision bidirectional current detection module (including DC shunt, differential amplifier, and microcontroller unit), an intelligent control and data processing module (including operating condition identification unit, display and interaction unit), and vehicle interfaces (battery terminal, OBD interface, and fuse box).

[0075] Dual-path uninterruptible power supply module:

[0076] This module is the core hardware foundation of this invention, providing two independent uninterrupted power detection paths:

[0077] Path 1: Parallel to series connection technology.

[0078] Operation and Principle: ① Clamp the battery terminal clamp on the "parallel to series wiring harness" of this device to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery, and simultaneously clamp the wiring harness terminal clamp to the negative wiring harness terminal, forming a bypass path in parallel with the vehicle's circuitry. ② At this point, the testing device is connected in parallel with the vehicle's original circuitry, and the internal current detection circuit of the device begins to operate. ③ The maintenance personnel remove the fixing bolts of the battery negative wiring harness, disconnecting the original series connection. Due to the existence of the parallel bypass path, the current seamlessly transfers to the testing device, ensuring uninterrupted vehicle power supply. At this time, the device automatically switches from parallel to series connection with the circuit under test, and begins to accurately measure the total current.

[0079] Advantages: It achieves seamless and uninterrupted conversion from parallel to series connection, making it the gold standard for accurate measurement of total current.

[0080] Path 2: OBD power supply and measurement technology.

[0081] Operation and Principle: ① Insert the device's OBD power supply harness into the vehicle's OBD interface. The device draws power from the vehicle's battery through the constant-power pin (Pin16) of the OBD interface and begins operation. ② Simultaneously, the device can independently measure voltage and acquire vehicle data through the ground pin (Pin4 / 5) and network pins (such as the CAN bus) of the OBD interface. ③ Even if the battery's positive and negative terminals are disconnected, the device can still supply power to some critical vehicle networks and continuously monitor voltage and calculate current.

[0082] Advantages: No need to touch the battery terminals, the operation is the simplest, suitable for quick troubleshooting or "power preservation" of the vehicle after disconnecting the main power.

[0083] High-precision bidirectional current detection module:

[0084] Hardware circuitry: The core components are a high-precision DC shunt (0.5-level accuracy) and a differential amplifier (such as INA128). The DC shunt is connected in series in the main circuit, feeding the weak bidirectional voltage signal (mV level) generated at its two ends into the differential amplifier. The amplifier's high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR>110dB) effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference generated by engines, generators, etc.

[0085] Software compensation algorithm: After the microcontroller acquires the voltage signal output by the differential amplifier, it runs a multi-dimensional error compensation algorithm:

[0086] 1. Zero-point calibration: When there is no current input, record the system output value as the zero-point offset and subtract it in subsequent measurements.

[0087] 2. Temperature compensation: The onboard temperature sensor corrects the temperature drift error of the DC shunt and differential amplifier caused by temperature changes in real time.

[0088] 3. Nonlinear correction: Using pre-calibrated multi-point curves, a polynomial fitting algorithm is employed to perform software correction of nonlinear errors across the entire measurement range.

[0089] Final result: The overall measurement error of the system is reduced from ±1%-3% in the traditional solution to within ±0.1%, achieving bidirectional, high-precision measurement of current from 1mA to 1000A.

[0090] Intelligent control and data processing module:

[0091] Operating condition identification: The device acquires information such as the vehicle's ignition switch status (OFF / ACC / ON / START), engine speed, and door open / close status in real time via CAN bus or hard-wired signals, and intelligently determines whether the vehicle is currently in a wake-up, pre-sleep, sleep, or driving state.

[0092] Core decision-making logic (dormant current test procedure):

[0093] 1. Guided vehicle lock and sleep mode: The interactive interface prompts "Please turn off all electrical appliances, lock the doors, and wait for the vehicle to go into sleep mode."

[0094] 2. Monitoring the hibernation process: Real-time display of the current value and a dynamically changing current-time curve. The system automatically marks each plateau period during the current decrease process and can prompt "Body Control Module (BCM) enters standby" and "Engine ECU hibernates".

[0095] 3. Determining excessive leakage current: Once the system detects that the vehicle has entered a stable sleep state, it compares the current value with a preset threshold (e.g., 50mA). If the current exceeds the threshold, the interface will display an alarm: "Abnormal sleep current detected."

[0096] 4. Assisted Locating of Leakage Points: While maintaining uninterrupted power, maintenance personnel can remove suspected fuses one by one according to system prompts. The system will automatically record and display the current change before and after removing each fuse. The branch with the largest change is the main leakage branch, presented in a graphical format.

[0097] In some embodiments, in S300, the step of connecting the detection device and the negative terminal circuit of the vehicle battery in parallel through the dual-path uninterrupted power supply module to form a bypass path, and switching to a series state while maintaining the power supply state of the vehicle electronic control unit, to obtain a series detection circuit, includes:

[0098] S310, clamp the battery terminal of the parallel-to-series wiring harness to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery, and clamp the wiring harness terminal of the parallel-to-series wiring harness to the negative terminal of the vehicle wiring harness, forming a bypass path in parallel with the original circuit of the vehicle.

[0099] S320, maintain the power supply current of the vehicle electronic control unit through the bypass path, disconnect the fixing bolt of the negative terminal harness of the battery, and disconnect the original series circuit of the vehicle.

[0100] S330, the bypass path seamlessly transfers the current output from the vehicle battery to the inside of the testing equipment, and the testing equipment automatically switches from a parallel state to a series state with the circuit under test, thus obtaining a series testing circuit.

[0101] This embodiment achieves seamless switching between the testing equipment and the vehicle's circuitry by converting a parallel-to-series wiring harness. After connecting the battery terminal clamp and wiring harness terminal clamp to the negative battery terminal and the negative wiring harness terminal respectively, a parallel bypass path is formed, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to the vehicle's electronic control unit when the original series connection is disconnected. After disconnecting the fixing bolts, the current seamlessly transfers to the testing equipment through the bypass path, achieving a state switch from parallel to series connection, resulting in a series testing circuit. This allows for the series connection of the testing equipment without interrupting the vehicle's power supply.

[0102] In some embodiments, S300, the step of connecting the detection device and the negative terminal circuit of the vehicle battery in parallel through the dual-path uninterrupted power supply module to form a bypass path, and switching to a series state while maintaining the power supply state of the vehicle electronic control unit to obtain a series detection circuit, further includes:

[0103] S340, the OBD power supply harness is inserted into the vehicle's OBD interface. The detection device obtains vehicle battery power from the constant power pin of the OBD interface. The detection device obtains vehicle data through the ground pin and network pin of the OBD interface.

[0104] S350, after disconnecting the positive and negative terminals of the vehicle battery, the detection device continuously supplies power to the vehicle's critical networks through the OBD power supply harness and continuously monitors the voltage and calculates the current.

[0105] This embodiment utilizes the OBD power supply harness to achieve an alternative uninterrupted testing path. After inserting the OBD power supply harness into the vehicle's OBD interface, the testing device draws operating power from the constant power pins and independently measures voltage and acquires vehicle data via the ground and network pins. Even after disconnecting the vehicle battery's positive and negative terminals, the testing device can still continuously supply power to the vehicle's critical networks through the OBD power supply harness, maintaining the operational status of some vehicle modules and continuously monitoring voltage and calculating current. This enables rapid troubleshooting and power preservation functions without touching the battery terminals.

[0106] In some embodiments, in S400, the step of acquiring the current signal of the series detection circuit through a high-precision bidirectional current detection module, and converting and amplifying the current signal to obtain an amplified voltage signal includes:

[0107] S410, the current signal flowing through the series detection circuit is acquired through a DC shunt, and the DC shunt converts the current signal into a millivolt-level bidirectional voltage signal;

[0108] S420, the millivolt-level bidirectional voltage signal is input to a differential amplifier, and the differential amplifier performs differential amplification on the millivolt-level bidirectional voltage signal to obtain an amplified voltage signal.

[0109] This embodiment uses a DC shunt to convert a current signal into a voltage signal. The DC shunt is connected in series in the detection circuit. When current flows through it, a bidirectional voltage drop in the millivolt range, proportional to the current, is generated across its terminals. This weak voltage signal is differentially amplified by a differential amplifier. The high common-mode rejection ratio of the differential amplifier effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference generated by the engine, generator, etc., resulting in a stable and reliable amplified voltage signal. This provides high-quality raw data for subsequent error compensation and leakage current determination.

[0110] In some embodiments, in S500, the multi-dimensional error compensation processing performed on the amplified voltage signal includes zero-point calibration, temperature compensation, and nonlinear correction to generate compensated current data, including:

[0111] S510, Record the system output value as the zero-point offset value in the state of no current input. In subsequent measurements, subtract the zero-point offset value from the measurement results to obtain the zero-point calibrated data.

[0112] S520 collects ambient temperature data through an onboard temperature sensor, and corrects the temperature drift error of the shunt and differential amplifier caused by temperature changes in real time based on the ambient temperature data to obtain temperature-compensated data.

[0113] The S530 uses a pre-calibrated multi-point correction curve and a polynomial fitting algorithm to correct nonlinear errors across the entire measurement range, generating compensated current data.

[0114] This embodiment improves current detection accuracy through multi-dimensional error compensation processing. The system output value is recorded as a zero-point offset value when there is no current input, and this offset value is subtracted in subsequent measurements to eliminate the system's inherent zero-point error. Ambient temperature data is collected in real time using an onboard temperature sensor, and the temperature drift error of the DC shunt and differential amplifier is corrected in real time based on temperature changes. Using pre-calibrated multi-point correction curves, a polynomial fitting algorithm is employed to correct nonlinear errors across the entire measurement range, ultimately generating high-precision compensated current data and reducing the overall system measurement error to within ±0.1%.

[0115] In some embodiments, in S600, determining whether the vehicle has entered a stable sleep state based on the vehicle status signal and the compensated current data, and if it has entered a stable sleep state, comparing the compensated current data with a preset threshold to generate a leakage current determination result, includes:

[0116] S610, based on the vehicle status signal, identify changes in the vehicle ignition switch status, engine speed and door open / close status, and determine whether the vehicle is currently in a wake-up state, a pre-dormant state, a dormant state or a driving state.

[0117] S620, displays the compensated current data in real time, generates a dynamic curve of current changing with time, and marks each plateau period in the current decrease process;

[0118] S630, when the vehicle is detected to have entered a stable sleep state, the current compensated current data is compared with the preset sleep current threshold. If the current compensated current data is greater than the preset sleep current threshold, a leakage current exceeding the standard judgment result is generated.

[0119] S640, while maintaining the uninterrupted power detection path, removes the fuses of the suspected branches one by one, records and displays the current change before and after removing each fuse, identifies the branch with the largest current change as the main leakage branch, and generates leakage branch location information.

[0120] This embodiment achieves intelligent dormant current testing through operating condition recognition. Based on vehicle status signals, it identifies changes in ignition switch status, engine speed, and door open / close status to intelligently determine whether the vehicle is currently in a wake-up state, pre-dormant state, dormant state, or driving state. It displays the compensated current data in real time and generates a dynamic curve of current changes over time, automatically marking each plateau period during the current decrease process, visually demonstrating the dormant progress of each vehicle module. Once the vehicle is detected to have entered a stable dormant state, the current compensated current data is compared with a preset dormant current threshold. If the current value exceeds the preset threshold, a leakage current exceeding the limit judgment result is generated.
