Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of subway traction drive boards, and particularly relates to a test and maintenance device for an IGBT drive board of a subway traction system. Background Art
[0002] 1. Generally, the positive line failure rate of the drive board of the traction inverter of subway vehicles is relatively high. Since this board is installed under the vehicle and can only work when the subway vehicle is powered on, due to safety issues, it is impossible for the staff to directly observe the true working state of the board.
[0003] 2. When analyzing the cause of the board failure, there is no test board device, so the cause of the failure cannot be analyzed.
[0004] 3. Due to the technical blockade of the manufacturer, without a test device, it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the test report given by the manufacturer, and one can only passively accept it.
[0005] 4. This board is the core product of the supplier, and the manufacturer does not provide maintenance at the board level. The entire traction module needs to be returned to the manufacturer for maintenance, which has a long maintenance cycle and the maintenance cost is tens of thousands of yuan. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] In order to overcome the problems of relatively high positive line failure rate of the drive board of the traditional subway vehicle traction inverter, inability to analyze the cause of the failure, long maintenance cycle, and high maintenance cost, etc., the utility model provides a test and maintenance device for an IGBT drive board of a subway traction system.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to achieve the above purpose is: it includes a host computer, a test circuit, and a load circuit connected in sequence. The test circuit includes a drive board power supply circuit, a drive signal input circuit, a transition board, and a drive signal acquisition circuit. The drive board power supply circuit includes a drive board, a voltmeter, an ammeter, an anti-reverse connection circuit, and a DC15V power supply module.

[0013] 2. Test circuit
[0014] The test circuit is the core circuit of this device, including a drive board power supply circuit, a drive signal input circuit, and a drive signal acquisition circuit.
[0015] (1) Drive board power supply circuit
[0016] The drive board power supply circuit is powered by a DC15V power supply module. After the DC15V power supply module is connected in series with an anti-reverse connection circuit and an ammeter, it is connected to the drive board power supply interface, and a voltmeter is connected in parallel at the drive board power supply interface. The anti-reverse connection circuit is used to prevent the positive and negative poles of the DC15V power supply module from being connected reversely, resulting in component damage. The ammeter is used to display the real-time current when the drive board is working, and the voltmeter is used to display the real-time voltage when the drive board is working, to assist in judging whether there is abnormal power consumption when the drive board is working.
[0017] (2) Drive signal input circuit
[0018] The drive signal input circuit is divided into two parts. One part is generated by the built-in signal generator, and the other part is generated by the signal generator. The drive signals sent by the built-in signal generator and the signal generator enter the signal input end of the drive board through the PWM drive signal interface component. The PWM drive signal interface component has a signal switch. When a group of drive signal circuits is selected, the other group of signal circuits is automatically disconnected. The built-in signal generator can send a drive signal with adjustable frequency and duty cycle. At the same time, the built-in signal generator can also receive instructions from the host computer through the RS232 serial port communication. After receiving the instructions from the host computer, the built-in signal generator sends a drive signal with adjustable frequency and duty cycle.
[0019] The PWM drive signal interface component is connected to the signal input terminal interface of the drive board. The PWM signal enters the drive board through the PWM drive signal interface component. After the PWM signal enters the drive board, the drive board processes the PWM signal, and at the same time, two PWM signals are generated at signal output terminal one and signal output terminal two of the drive board respectively. This signal passes through the transition board and is applied to the G poles of IGBT one and IGBT two to control the conduction and cutoff of IGBT one and IGBT two respectively. The function of the transition board is to transmit the drive signal and control the fast conduction and fast cutoff of the IGBT to prevent the IGBT from entering the latch-up effect.
[0020] (3) Drive signal acquisition circuit
[0021] The drive signal acquisition circuit is to collect the PWM waveform at the signal input terminal of the drive board through oscilloscope probe one, oscilloscope probe two is used to collect the PWM waveform at signal output terminal one, oscilloscope probe three is used to collect the PWM waveform at the G pole of IGBT one, oscilloscope probe four is used to collect the PWM waveform at signal output terminal two of the drive board, and oscilloscope probe five is used to collect the PWM waveform at the G pole of IGBT two. Through the above oscilloscope, the amplitude, frequency and waveform of the signal can be seen during the entire transmission process of the PWM drive signal, and it can be judged whether the drive signal is normal during the entire transmission process.
[0022] 3. Load circuit
[0023] The load circuit is used to test the driving ability of the drive board under loaded conditions
[0024] In the main circuit of IGBT one, it is powered by power supply module one of DC12V. A working indicator light one and a high-power load resistor one are connected in series, and the C pole of IGBT one is connected. The E pole of IGBT one is directly connected to the negative pole of power supply module one of DC12V. Through the working indicator light one, it can be observed whether IGBT one is working, and at the same time, the driving ability of the drive board and whether the IGBT1 component is normal can be detected.

A working indicator light two and a high-power load resistor two are connected in series, and the C pole of IGBT two is connected.

[0031] 5. Master the working principle of the traction inverter drive board of the subway vehicle, facilitate observing the working state of the drive board, and have the ability to test and repair the traction inverter drive board of the subway vehicle to a certain extent.
[0032] 6. For a faulty drive board, this device can be used for detection, and the collected parameters can be compared with the normal parameters marked on the schematic diagram to lock the cause of the fault and repair the drive board, meeting the conditions for in-depth repair of the drive board.
[0033] 7. This device has been successfully applied to vehicle maintenance. So far, 2 traction inverter drive boards of Line 3 vehicles have been successfully repaired. After being installed on the vehicle, the dynamic adjustment function is normal. Currently, the vehicle has traveled a cumulative distance of 200 kilometers after being installed, saving more than 800,000 yuan.
