[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery management system testing, in particular to an automatic testing system for an electric motorcycle battery management system. Background Art

[0002] When a lithium power battery pack is in use, it must be managed by a battery management system (BMS). The BMS mainly monitors parameters such as the voltage, temperature, charge and discharge current of the lithium battery, and realizes functions such as balancing, control, and data transmission. It can be said that the BMS is the "brain" for the lithium battery to communicate externally, and its reliability ensures the normal operation of the standby lithium battery pack. Previously, for the testing of the BMS of electric motorcycles, it was necessary to manually plug and unplug the wiring harness, manually set each voltage test point separately, and manually operate each switch. The operator has a lot of operation content, a long time, and low efficiency.

[0003] Moreover, most of the BMSs of electric motorcycles do not have a unified standard interface. When designing a testing system, it is necessary to make different testing systems according to different requirements. This not only leads to a long cycle from design to production, but also raises the cost. After the product is upgraded later, if there are changes in requirements, the testing system needs to re-invest in the design cycle and cost. Summary of the Utility Model

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be realized, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.

[0038] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model, and the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, an automated test system for an electric motorcycle battery management system is provided, which is electrically connected to external devices such as a host computer and the battery management system to be tested respectively, and includes:

[0040] An integrated control module, which is configured to send instructions to perform tests on the battery management system to be tested and obtain test results according to the data information fed back by the battery management system to be tested;

[0041] A function test module, which is configured to execute the instructions of the integrated control module to perform corresponding function tests on the battery management system to be tested;

[0042] A communication module, which is connected to external devices, the integrated control module, and the battery management system to be tested respectively to send control instructions of the integrated control module or external devices to the battery management system to be tested.

[0043] This system can issue test commands through external devices such as the host computer. After a series of set working steps, all function tests of the BMS are completed, and the test results are displayed on the external device. At the same time, the test data is saved for subsequent reference or traceability, thus improving the test efficiency.

[0044] In the function test module, a high-voltage output module, a low-level output module, an insulation test module, a temperature detection module, an analog-digital signal detection module, and a high-low level detection module are provided. All modules are controlled by the integrated control module, and different types of electric motorcycle BMS can select resources for testing according to their own needs.

[0045] As Figure 2 shown, in the high-voltage output module, it includes multiple output channels and is configured to output high-voltage electricity to perform the high-voltage test of the battery management system to be tested.

[0046] Specifically, a high-voltage common terminal and multiple high-voltage output terminals are provided. The high-voltage common terminal and the high-voltage output terminals are both arranged on the relay K2, and the relay K2 is connected to the integrated control module through the MOS tube Q20.

[0047] The integrated control module outputs a high level to the high-voltage output control 1 port (HL_CON01), through the resistor R94 to the gate of the MOS tube Q20, and the MOS tube Q20 is turned on, thereby pulling down the drain of the MOS tube Q20. Then, a 5V voltage is formed across the coil of the relay K2, causing the relay K2 to be attracted, and the 4th and 5th feet of the relay are in contact, which connects the high-voltage output 1 port (HV_OUT1) to the high-voltage common terminal (HV_COM). Thus, the action of outputting high voltage to the battery management system to be tested is achieved.

[0048] In addition, the resistor R117 can quickly discharge the gate capacitance after the control terminal changes from high to low. The lighting of the light-emitting diode D7 indicates that the relay is closed, and the extinguishing of D7 represents that the relay is open. The diode D59 eliminates the high voltage generated by the coil after the relay is open, thereby protecting the MOS tube Q20.

[0049] Similarly, as Figure 3 shown, in the low-voltage output module, it includes multiple output channels and is configured to output low-voltage electricity to perform the low-voltage test of the battery management system to be tested.

[0050] A low-voltage common terminal and multiple low-voltage output terminals are provided. The low-voltage common terminal and the low-voltage output terminals are both arranged on the relay K4, and the relay K4 is connected to the integrated control module through the MOS tube Q3.

[0051] The integrated control module outputs a high level to the low-level output control 1 port (LV_CON01), which goes through resistor R62 to the gate of MOS transistor Q3. MOS transistor Q3 is turned on, pulling down the drain of MOS transistor Q3. This creates a 5V voltage across the coil of relay K4, causing relay K4 to close. When the 4th and 5th pins of relay K4 make contact, the low-level output 1 port (LV_OUT01) is connected to the low-level common terminal (LV_COM), thus achieving the action of outputting a low level to the battery management system under test.

[0052] As Figure 4 shown, the insulation test module consists of three parts: a series resistor group from the BMS high voltage (B+, B-) to the enclosure, a manual switch, and a relay switch. The resistance value between the high-voltage positive and negative terminals of the battery pack and the enclosure is determined by the actions of the manual switch and the relay switch.

[0053] Specifically, there are five groups of series resistor groups between the high-voltage positive and negative terminals of the battery pack and the enclosure, and the resistors within each group are connected in parallel. The manual switch S1 has 4 independent switches, which respectively control the groups of series resistor groups between the high-voltage positive terminal of the battery pack and the enclosure. The 1st and 8th pins of manual switch S1 form one switch. When it is closed, the resistor group connected to it is short-circuited, and the same applies to the other switches.

[0054] In the relay switch, relay K11 controls the first and second groups of series resistor groups between the high-voltage positive terminal of the battery pack and the enclosure. When relay K11 receives an instruction from the integrated control module and operates, the two resistor groups are short-circuited simultaneously, and the same applies to the other relays. In this way, relays K11 - K14, under the control of the integrated control module and in combination with manual switches S1 and S3, can form different resistance values between the battery pack and the enclosure for BMS testing.

[0055] As Figure 5 shown, in the temperature detection module, it provides 4 channels of temperature detection, namely TMP01 - TMP04. Each channel is controlled by the combination of TMP_CON1, TMP_CON2, and TMP_CON3 to output different resistance values for BMS testing.

[0056] TMP_CON1 - TMP_CON3 receive instructions from the integrated control module, causing the MOS transistors to conduct or turn off, thereby forming the individual resistance values of resistor R222, resistor R223, and resistor R224 connected to the MOS transistors to be output individually or in parallel.

[0057] As Figure 6 shown, in the analog-to-digital signal detection module, it includes resistor R35 and resistor R36 connected in series to the positive terminal of the battery pack. The connection point between resistor R35 and resistor R36 is connected to the integrated control module to obtain the positive voltage of the battery pack.

[0058] The signal of the positive electrode B+ of the battery pack is divided by resistors R35 and R36 to obtain a smaller voltage value. This voltage is filtered by capacitor C97 and regulated by diode D36, and then output to the analog-to-digital signal conversion port of the integrated control module for detection. Then, through data processing and conversion, the specific value of the positive electrode of the battery pack is obtained, so as to compare with the voltage of the positive electrode of the battery pack collected in the battery management system to be tested, and the accuracy test of the data acquisition of the battery management system to be tested is realized.

[0059] As Figure 7 shown, in the high and low level detection module, it includes resistors R39 and R40 connected to the battery management system to be tested. The connection point of resistors R39 and R40 is connected to the gate of MOS transistor Q6, and the drain of MOS transistor Q6 is connected to the integrated control module.

[0060] The high-level signal of port H_LEVEL01 is divided by resistors R39 and R40 to obtain a turn-on voltage of the MOS transistor. This voltage is filtered by capacitor C37 and regulated by diode D73 to turn on MOS transistor Q6, making the drain of MOS transistor Q6 grounded. After passing through resistor R119, the integrated control module can obtain a low-level signal. On the contrary, if H_LEVEL01 is at a low level, MOS transistor Q6 will be turned off, and the 5V high-level signal will pass through resistor R41 and then through resistor R119 and be sent to the integrated control module.

[0061] As Figure 8 shown, in the communication module, it includes two parts. One is the CAN communication circuit. The integrated control module communicates with chip U17 through resistors R12 and R13. Among them, capacitors C72 and C79 are filter capacitors, and chip U17 communicates with the outside through resistors R238, R239 and common-mode inductor L4. Among them, capacitors C106, C107, and C108 are all filter capacitors, diodes D64 and D65 are all voltage-regulating diodes, and diodes D66 and D67 are all TVS tubes, and the purpose is to filter out interference signals.

[0062] The second part is the CAN communication switching circuit for the integrated control module to communicate with external devices, with a total of 4 channels (excluding the common terminal). Taking the CAN0 terminal as an example, after the CAN0 control terminal becomes high level, the high level is divided by resistors R243 and R234 and then reaches the gate of MOS transistor Q4, thereby turning on MOS transistor Q4, and the drain of MOS transistor Q4 is pulled low. A 5V voltage drop is formed across the coil of relay K8, causing relay K8 to actuate. The fourth and fifth pins of relay K8 are shorted, and the ninth and eighth pins are shorted. In this way, the CAN0 terminal is connected to the CAN common terminal, and the integrated control module can communicate with the device at the CAN0 terminal. And the lighting of light-emitting diode D28 indicates that relay K8 is closed, representing that the device at the CAN0 terminal is in communication. The extinguishing of light-emitting diode D28 represents that relay K8 is open, indicating that the device at the CAN0 terminal is not in communication.

[0063] This system can issue test commands through the host computer. After a series of set working steps, it completes all function tests of the electric motorcycle BMS, displays the test results on the host computer, and saves the test data for subsequent reference or traceability. Thus, it solves the disadvantages of low efficiency, misoperation, and misjudgment in manual operation testing, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. The specific embodiments described in this article are only illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
