Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery testing, and particularly relates to a CMU testing device. Background Art
[0002] The wiring method of the traditional battery sampling chip is that the positive power supply of the battery sampling chip is connected to the highest string sampling line, and the negative power supply of the battery sampling chip is connected to the reference ground of the first string sampling. When the current battery voltage acquisition unit CMU tests the voltage acquisition function during production offline, the wiring method is also connected in the above manner.
[0003] For example, in a general function testing device based on a battery management system disclosed in Patent Application No. CN202320238011.8, all pins of the BMI unit are connected to the general function testing unit through an aviation plug, the BMU unit is connected to the CMU unit through an SPI line, the CMU unit is connected to the battery simulator through a wire, and the high-drive output pin, low-drive output pin, analog input pin, etc. are assigned to different logic circuits in the general function testing unit. This part of the corresponding connection logic relationship is pre-assigned on the aviation plug, achieving high scalability, that is, if the number of relays in the general function testing unit is insufficient, relay boards can be continuously connected in series for expansion later, without purchasing the entire set of finished HIL benches from the supplier, further greatly reducing the bench purchase cost, and the entire testing system is quickly and simply built, greatly saving the time of project testing. However, the analog signal has signal interference and noise problems, which will affect the test accuracy and reliability; in a DC charging pile simulation device for function testing disclosed in Patent Application No. CN202221475707.4, by setting a main controller, a sub-controller, a pile-end battery pack BMS, a pile-end battery pack CMU, a vehicle-end battery pack BMS, a DC / DC ammeter, an analog AC / DC ammeter upper computer, a programmable DC power supply, a charging interface switch, a T-BOX, a card reader, a touch screen and a CAN bus structure, since the module devices used in this simulation device are all module devices in a real DC charging pile, the simulation effect is good, the reliability of the data obtained by using this simulation device for DC charging pile function testing is high, and this simulation device can also simulate the fault conditions of high-voltage devices and lines in the DC charging pile. Although the simulation device can simulate conventional parameters, it may be difficult to accurately reproduce various complex physical and chemical state changes of the battery unit in actual applications, especially long-term aging, thermal management problems and performance under extreme conditions, there is insufficient reproduction of the fault detection and diagnosis scenarios, and the incomplete accuracy of the sensor analog signal will affect the comprehensive testing of the CMU function.
[0004] Therefore, in the test devices disclosed in the above two utility model patents, for CMU testing, since the monomer voltage is output by the battery simulator, it is affected by the output voltage and current characteristics of battery simulators of different brands, resulting in inconsistent monomer voltage acquisition accuracy. At this time, the working current of the battery acquisition chip will flow through each string of batteries, and the working current of the battery acquisition chip itself fluctuates greatly, resulting in a large impact on the voltage sampling accuracy.
