Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data recorders, in particular to a CAN / CANFD data recorder with a built-in card reader. Background Art

[0002] The existing CAN data recorder reads the data of the CAN interface through the single-chip microcomputer and writes it into the TF card for storage.

[0031] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention is a CAN / CANFD data recorder with a built-in card reader. Figure 2-3 As shown, the system includes a controller, a memory, a switch, and a card reader. The controller is connected to an input interface and a first output interface. The common terminal of the switch is connected to the memory. The switch terminal of the switch is connected to the controller and a card reader. The card reader is connected to a second output interface. Data is input into the controller from the input interface and then transferred to the memory via the switch for storage. When data is read from the memory, it is output from the first output interface via the switch and controller, or from the second output interface via the switch and card reader.

[0033] In this embodiment, the memory is a TF card, and the TF card holder connection diagram is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it comes standard with a 32GSanDisk class 10 high-speed TF card, which can store 350 million frames of CAN / CANFD data.

[0034] In this embodiment, the input interface is a CANFD interface, such as Figure 5 As shown, three CANFD transceivers are used to input CAN / CANFD data. The CANFD transceiver can transmit more data at a faster rate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first output interface adopts a USB-B interface, and other interfaces can also be used. The USB interface is connected to the PC end, and the PC end is used to configure the time, power supply, charge, and copy TF card data. However, the USB-B interface is USB2.0 and cannot read TF card data in real time, and the transmission speed is limited.

[0036] In this embodiment, the controller includes a single chip microcomputer, such as STM32H723ZET6. Figure 6 As shown, three CANFD transceivers are connected through three sets of CANTX and CANRX terminals for inputting data; the USB output interface is connected for outputting data; the NO and NC terminals of the switch are connected through the analog input / multiplexing port, and the SD terminal of the card reader is connected at the same time;

[0037] In this embodiment, the switch uses an analog multiplexer TS3A27518EPWR, such as Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the analog multiplexer is connected to the TF card through the COM terminal, and is connected to the analog input / multiplexing port of the microcontroller and the SD port of the card reader through the NO and NC terminals. The switch is used to switch the communication between the TF card and the microcontroller, and the communication between the TF card and the card reader. It does not affect the original CAN input data storage into the TF card, nor does it affect the original USB interface reading and writing the storage data in the TF card, and the storage data in the TF card can be read and written through the card reader.

[0038] In this embodiment, the card reader uses a high-speed card reader chip USB3.0, the USB3.0 reading speed is as high as 90MB / s, and the model is GL3224. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the TF card can be read and written at high speed through the card reader, which greatly improves the reading and writing speed of data in the TF card.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second output interface adopts the USB 3.0 type C interface, and other high-speed interfaces can also be used to achieve faster transmission speeds. In addition, a power module is also provided to supply power to each chip.

[0040] The equipment cost of the newly added switch and card reader is much lower than replacing the microcontroller or external expansion chip with one that adapts to the high-speed USB interface. The unit price of the analog multiplexer TS3A27518EPWR used in this embodiment is only about 5 yuan / piece, and the unit price of the high-speed card reader chip GL3224 is only about 7 yuan / piece. However, the STM32 microcontroller that adapts to USB3.0 is much more expensive.

[0041] Therefore, in this embodiment, the microcontroller is connected to the CANFD interface to input data, and then input to the TF card inserted in the TF card holder through the analog multiplexer for storage. When reading the stored data in the TF card, the analog multiplexer plays a switching role, so that it can be output from the USB interface through the microcontroller and also from the type C interface through the card reader, which greatly improves the reading and writing speed of the data stored in the TF card. Figure 9-10 shown.

[0042] In summary, the CAN / CANFD data logger with a built-in card reader has the following advantages:

[0043] (1) The utility model adds a switching switch and a card reader. The switching switch switches the communication between the TF card and the single-chip microcomputer and the communication between the TF card and the card reader, which does not affect the storage of CAN / CANFD data in the TF card. The USB interface can be selected to read and write the CAN / CANFD data stored in the TF card, and the added card reader can also be selected to read and write the CAN / CANFD data stored in the TF card. The added card reader is connected to the high-speed USB interface, which can greatly improve the reading and writing speed, so that CAN / CANFD can be supported without replacing the single-chip microcomputer or external expansion chip. The added switching switch and card reader are much cheaper, so that the storage and reading speed performance are greatly improved while effectively controlling the equipment cost.

[0044] (2) The utility model has a built-in card reader and a second output interface, which is convenient for reading and connecting, making the data recorder more portable;

[0045] (3) The utility model can be modified on the existing data recorder, further reducing the equipment cost.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
