Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of modular comprehensive integration architecture of vehicle-mounted electronic information systems, and in particular to an LRM-based vehicle-mounted open universal information communication integration framework. Background Art
[0002] This section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.
[0003] A Line Replaceable Module (LRM) is a general term for various general-purpose units with relatively independent installation structures and functions. They have standard dimensions and interfaces, and the built-in test (BIT) system can locate and isolate faults down to the LRM level. It is a modular design concept for electronic equipment that has evolved with the development of avionics systems.
[0004] The development of avionics systems from the early 20th century to the present can be divided into four stages: discrete systems, federated systems, integrated systems, and advanced integrated systems. The new generation of avionics systems introduces concepts such as distributed processing and resource sharing, all of which are based on modularity.
[0005] The current LRM module standards are mainly divided into SEM-E standard, ASAAC standard, VITA-48 and VITA-58 standards. These standard modules are generally installed in closed or semi-closed chassis. The electrical interconnection mainly includes power supply and distribution, power conversion, data interaction, bus interconnection, physical addressing and external transfer functions.
[0006] The SEM-E module standard was released the earliest and is primarily used in the design and implementation of internal functional boards for electronic equipment in marine and aviation applications. This series of LRM modules is available in five sizes. The SEM-E module has a length of 169.67mm, a width of 149.35mm, and five thicknesses, with a standard thickness of 9.652mm.
[0007] The ASAAC module standard is an avionics architecture standard issued by the European ASAAC. It defines the functions, interfaces, and design recommendations for common functional modules. The ASAAC module dimensions are compatible with the European ASAAC standard, with a length of 233.45mm, a width of 160mm, and a thickness of 20mm, 30mm, or 40mm.
[0008] The VITA-48 module standard is a commercial and open LRM standard developed by VITA, primarily used for the design and implementation of internal boards in embedded computers or industrial control equipment. The VITA-48 module's form factor is compatible with traditional VME modules and is available in three sizes: 3U (100mm × 160mm), 6U (233mm × 160mm), and 9U (366mm × 400mm), with a module pitch of 25.4mm. The VITA-58 standard specifies a different LRM module, achieving a fully enclosed single-module design that effectively withstands salt spray and rain environments, meeting electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
[0009] With rapid technological advancements, the functional integration of in-vehicle electronic information systems is becoming increasingly complex, environmental adaptability requirements are becoming increasingly stringent, and the demand for equipment structure and form is becoming increasingly compact. Consequently, a more integrated structure is required to meet these requirements. Introducing the LRM concept from avionics systems into in-vehicle electronic information system integration will promote modularization, integration, and standardization of in-vehicle electronic information system integration, particularly in the military sector. This will enable in-vehicle electronic information systems to adapt to diverse environments, including high altitudes, extreme cold, humid conditions, and jungle environments, while also enhancing capabilities such as flexible deployment and rapid maintenance.
[0010] Currently, traditional in-vehicle electronic information systems are often composed of a large number of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). These LRUs are designed as separate "black boxes" connected to each other via in-vehicle interconnect cables. Each LRU performs a specific function and is composed of multiple Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs). This traditional in-vehicle electronic information system integration architecture has the following major problems:
[0011] (1) The in-vehicle electronic information system is composed of several independent devices, with a low degree of modularization and integration. The devices are large and heavy, with different shapes and sizes. The depth and breadth of standardization are insufficient. The distance between the devices is large and the structure is loose, which makes the overall size and weight large. In some applications, although LRM technology is used, it is mainly a simple LRM chassis or a dedicated device for a specific purpose or function. There is no open modular integrated platform architecture, which cannot well meet the requirements of miniaturization, lightweighting, rapid integration, and flexible expansion of the in-vehicle electronic information system.
[0012] (2) There is a lack of a unified backplane bus definition, especially the 10 Gigabit Ethernet bus and IPKVM bus, which cannot achieve the comprehensive electronic integration of functional services such as network switching, information processing, communication transmission, radio stations, and Beidou time system.
[0013] (3) Poor maintainability. Traditional on-board electronic information system equipment is a sealed chassis, and the chassis panel needs to be removed for maintenance. Fault location can generally only be located at the LRU level. When a fault occurs, the entire system must be shut down and the entire LRU removed before repair and replacement can be carried out. With a three-level maintenance system, relay-level maintenance requires a large amount of fixed facilities, equipped with specialized instruments and professional technicians. This not only increases the complexity of maintenance work, but also is not conducive to the flexibility of mobile system deployment and transfer.
[0014] (4) Traditional in-vehicle electronic information system equipment is diverse in types, interfaces are complex and diverse, and integration is difficult.
[0015] (5) Poor scalability and inconvenient upgrades. Traditional in-vehicle electronic information systems consist of devices of varying sizes and lack a standardized electronic-mechanical interface. System improvements require changes to the system structure and the addition of new, independent devices, which hinders the modification, upgrade, and application of new technologies in in-vehicle electronic information systems.
[0016] (6) In-vehicle electronic information systems, especially those used in the military field, have high requirements for the integration and operability of equipment, and also need to take into account heat dissipation, environmental resistance and electromagnetic compatibility issues. Traditional in-vehicle electronic information system equipment based on the LRU structure is mostly installed in a separate chassis to solve the problems of heat dissipation, environmental resistance and electromagnetic compatibility. It has low integration and occupies a large space. There are many SRUs. If an SRU fails, the entire LRU will be paralyzed. In addition, the limited cooling capacity and poor thermal control capabilities of the LRU chassis itself also lead to low system reliability. Compared with the LRM module, it is more difficult to achieve environmental resistance and high reliability.
[0017] (7) Heavy backup. Traditional vehicle electronic information systems are backed up in units of LRU, which results in a heavy system backup burden in actual use and increases logistical pressure.
[0018] (8) Long development cycle and high lifecycle costs. Traditional in-vehicle electronic information systems are made of single independent devices interconnected by cables. To build different systems, the single independent devices must be redeveloped or improved, which greatly increases the overall development cycle. The extensive use of single independent devices in design, operation, and maintenance results in high production costs, a large number of spare parts, and high lifecycle costs.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
