Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-8 In the embodiments of the utility model, a source load and water route arrangement system, the core lies in the cabinet body 1 structure, the cabinet body 1 is integrated with multiple product areas 2, multiple load areas 3 and several water route areas 4.

[0040] The product area 2 is mainly used for placing the vehicle-mounted charger product to be tested, and the product area 2 is provided with multiple placement positions 5, each placement position 5 can be designed according to the product shape and size, to ensure that the product is placed stably and is convenient for electrical connection.

[0041] The load area 3 is arranged adjacent to the product area 2 with the same number of columns, and the load area 3 is provided with multiple power modules 6, which are one-to-one corresponding to the placement positions 5 of the product area 2, and each power module 6 has the ability to provide the required power for the vehicle-mounted charger of the corresponding product area 2.

[0042] The number of waterway areas 4 is half of the number of product areas 2, and each column of waterway areas 4 is located between two adjacent columns of product areas 2. The main function of the waterway areas 4 is to provide cooling support for the two adjacent columns of product areas 2, so as to ensure that the heat generated by the vehicle charger during the test process can be dissipated in time.

[0043] The layout of each area in the cabinet body 1 follows the order of "load area 3-product area 2-waterway area 4-product area 2-load area 3" arranged along the horizontal direction. This layout optimizes the space utilization of the cabinet body 1 to some extent, and facilitates the connection of lines between areas and subsequent maintenance work.

[0044] The multiple independent placement positions 5 in the product area 2 correspond to the multiple power modules 6 in the load area 3 in a precise manner, that is, each placement position 5 is equipped with an appropriate electrical connection port, which can be reliably connected with the product to be tested, ensuring the stability and accuracy of power supply.

[0045] The power module 6 of the load area 3 is a bidirectional power module 6, which has the ability to output bidirectional current. The bidirectional module realizes the bidirectional conversion of alternating current and direct current. It is designed with DSP to ensure the stability of AC / DC and DC / DC bidirectional performance. Its DC / DC adopts high-frequency isolation bidirectional conversion technology, i.e. soft-switching resonance technology, which has high efficiency and bidirectional energy flow of the converter. It supports module parallel function, automatic current sharing, RS485 communication, and convenient communication and control with third-party equipment. The bidirectional power supply is widely used in battery formation and distribution, emergency power supply, 5G base station energy storage, and equipment aging, etc. It is the preferred product for industries that require bidirectional energy flow. By adjusting the output parameters of the bidirectional power module 6, various test conditions can be simulated to meet the diversified test needs of vehicle chargers.

[0046] The waterway area 4 is provided with a water inlet pipeline 7 and a water return pipeline 8. One end of the water inlet pipeline 7 is connected to an external cooling device, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the cooling medium (such as cooling liquid) of the adjacent two columns of product areas 2, respectively, for delivering the cooling medium to the product area 2 to absorb the heat generated by the vehicle charger.

In an embodiment, the residual cooling medium in the water inlet pipeline 7 and the water outlet pipeline can also be timely removed through the blowing operation, thereby reducing the possibility of corrosion of the equipment caused by the residual cooling medium and avoiding the influence of the residual medium on the accuracy of the next test.

[0048] The water inlet pipeline 7, the water outlet pipeline 8 and the water blowing pipeline 9 of the water route area 4 can be communicated with each other through a three-way connection assembly, and an electromagnetic valve is installed on each connection branch. In the test stage, the control system controls to open the electromagnetic valves of the water inlet pipeline 7 and the water outlet pipeline 8 and close the electromagnetic valve of the water blowing pipeline 9, so as to ensure smooth circulation of the cooling medium and realize the heat dissipation function. In the post-test drying stage, the control system switches the state of the electromagnetic valve, opens the electromagnetic valve of the water blowing pipeline 9 and closes the electromagnetic valves of the water inlet pipeline 7 and the water outlet pipeline 8, so as to realize the blowing function of the pipeline. Through the precise control of the electromagnetic valve, the switching of the water route function in different stages is effectively realized.

[0049] A flow sensor is installed on the water outlet pipeline 8, which functions to monitor the flow of the cooling medium in the water outlet pipeline 8 in real time. Temperature sensors are installed on the water inlet pipeline 7 and the water outlet pipeline 8 respectively, which are used to monitor the temperature change of the cooling medium before entering the product area 2 and after flowing out of the product area 2. The data collected by these flow sensors and temperature sensors can be fed back to the control system, so as to timely adjust the operating parameters of the cooling system, such as adjusting the refrigeration power of the external cooling device, controlling the opening degree of the flow regulating valve of the water inlet pipeline 7 and the like, thereby ensuring the stability of the heat dissipation effect. The alarm sensor can also be used to warn the operator to realize the adjustment of the human operation.

[0050] A positioning jig 10 corresponding to the product is matched with each placement site 5. The positioning jig 10 is designed according to the shape profile and key positioning points of the product, which can assist the operator to conveniently and accurately place the product to be tested, thereby improving the work efficiency in the test preparation stage. The positioning jig 10 is made of high-strength and insulating material, and the shape is designed according to the shape of the vehicle-mounted charger. It can also be a tray or the like shape to support and support the vehicle-mounted charger. The product can be fixed on the placement site 5 through buckles or bolts and the like to ensure the stability of the product during the test and not to affect the test result. At the same time, the positioning jig 10 can ensure that the product remains in a fixed position during the test process, thereby avoiding the interference of the product shaking on the test result.

[0051] The source load and waterway arrangement system comprises a plurality of cabinets 1, every two cabinets 1 are arranged oppositely and connected with each other through appropriate connecting members, and together form a complete test system; a working space 11 for the operation personnel to move is formed between the two cabinets 1, which is convenient for the operation personnel to operate, maintain and load / unload the products.

[0052] Preferably, the placing position 5 of the product area 2 is provided with a corresponding connecting pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 13 is provided with a water inlet pipe interface 14 corresponding to the water inlet pipe 7 and a water return pipe interface 15 corresponding to the water return pipe 8.

[0053] More specifically,

[0054] During the test, the vehicle-mounted charger to be tested is gently placed on the placing position 5 of the product area 2, so that the positioning features of the product are accurately matched with the positioning fixture 10, and the product placing position 5 is accurately placed; the power supply of the control system is turned on, and the initial output parameters of the power module 6 are checked through the operation interface of the control system, whether the pipeline connection of the waterway system is tight and leak-free, whether the sensors can normally collect data, whether the electromagnetic valves can normally respond to the control instructions, etc., to comprehensively ensure that the equipment is in a normal operating state.

[0055] According to the specific test requirements of the vehicle-mounted charger, such as simulating different charging power, charging time, charging voltage range and the like, the output parameters of the power module 6 are accurately set in the parameter setting interface of the control system, and after the setting is completed, the test program is started, and the power module 6 starts to provide test power for the vehicle-mounted charger of the product area 2 according to the set parameters; at the same time, the control system sends an opening instruction to the electromagnetic valves on the water inlet pipe 7 and the water return pipe 8 through the control output port, and closes the electromagnetic valve of the water blowing pipe 9, the cooling medium flows into the product area 2 from the external cooling device through the water inlet pipe 7 under the action of pressure, exchanges heat with the vehicle-mounted charger, and carries away the heat generated by the vehicle-mounted charger, and the heated cooling medium flows back to the external cooling device through the water return pipe 8 for cooling treatment; during the whole test process, the flow sensor on the water return pipe 8 monitors the flow data of the cooling medium in real time, the temperature sensors on the water inlet pipe 7 and the water return pipe 8 monitor the temperature data before and after the cooling medium enters and exits the product area 2 in real time, and these data are fed back to the control system in real time through the signal transmission line, and the control system automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the cooling system based on the received data, such as appropriately increasing the refrigeration power of the external cooling device according to the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor; according to the unstable flow signal fed back by the flow sensor, the opening degree of the flow regulating valve of the water inlet pipe 7 is accurately controlled to ensure that the cooling effect is always in a stable state; as described above, the abnormality is detected through the corresponding alarm sensor and the like, and is fed back to the working platform, and then the corresponding parameters are modified by manual operation.

[0056] Once the test program is complete, the control system sends a closing command to the solenoid valves on the inlet pipe 7 and the return pipe 8 via the control output port. Simultaneously, it opens the solenoid valve on the blow-through pipe 9. Air is then blown into the product area 2 and the water pipes through the blow-through pipe 9. The blowing pressure and time are preset in the control system based on factors such as pipe length, pipe diameter, and the nature of the residual cooling medium to ensure that the residual cooling medium is completely blown out. After purging, the control system closes the solenoid valve on the blow-through pipe 9, and the operator carefully removes the tested on-board charger from the product area 2, completing one full test process. The operator can also remove the tested on-board charger from the workspace 11. The on-board charger to be tested can also be prepared for the next round of testing here. Understandably, a water circuit control unit 12 is set in the water circuit area 4 to integrate the control functions of the solenoid valves of the inlet water pipe 7, the return water pipe 8, and the blow water pipe 9. It can also intelligently and precisely regulate the operation of the entire water circuit system based on the data of the flow sensor and the temperature sensor. Specifically, the water circuit control unit 12 is installed in the water circuit area 4, and its control lines are connected to the solenoid valves of the inlet water pipe 7, the return water pipe 8, and the blow water pipe 9, respectively. At the same time, the signal transmission lines of the flow sensor and the temperature sensor are connected to ensure that the water circuit control unit 12 can obtain sensor data in real time and accurately control the solenoid valves.

[0057] Through the above specific implementation methods, this utility model can solve the problems of difficult heat dissipation management, cluttered test space, and low test efficiency in existing on-board charger testing; by rationally planning the area layout and designing the water system, it can improve the space utilization efficiency of the test equipment, enhance the heat dissipation effect, and thus improve the test efficiency and accuracy.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, each product can have a separate water circuit (i.e., inlet water pipe and return water pipe) and air circuit (i.e., blowing water pipe); during the water (cooling medium) process, solenoid valves A and C are energized and conduct, while the others are disconnected; during the blowing water process, solenoid valves B and C are energized and conduct, while the others are disconnected.

[0059] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
