Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile fault diagnosis, and in particular to an automobile diagnostic circuit suitable for MQTT cloud technology. Background Art
[0002] Existing vehicle fault diagnosis primarily relies on a vehicle diagnostic instrument connected to the vehicle's OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) interface to read and analyze vehicle fault information. This is typically accomplished via Bluetooth using a VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) module. Bluetooth-connected VCI boxes offer certain advantages. They reduce the complexity of wiring harnesses, allowing maintenance personnel to perform diagnostics around the vehicle or even remotely. Compared to traditional wired VCIs, Bluetooth VCI boxes are more convenient to use. Maintenance personnel can wirelessly connect to the VCI box from a professional diagnostic console, such as a tablet, within a range of 10 to 50 meters to perform vehicle fault diagnosis.
[0003] However, existing wireless VCI boxes still have certain limitations. Bluetooth communication range is relatively limited, typically only covering a few dozen meters. This may not meet the needs of all diagnostic scenarios in some large repair sites. Due to the low hardware utilization of the circuit design in existing VCI boxes, VCI boxes can only transmit and receive data via Bluetooth, which greatly reduces diagnostic efficiency. Currently, some have developed vehicle diagnostics using MQTT technology, which can achieve longer-range vehicle diagnostics. However, the existing VCI box circuit is not suitable for MQTT-based vehicle diagnostics, and no circuit improvements have been made for MQTT-based vehicle diagnostics.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automobile diagnostic circuit suitable for MQTT cloud technology that can meet the automobile diagnosis needs based on MQTT technology. Utility Model Content
