Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of commercial vehicle technology, and in particular to a rapid diagnostic box for CAN network faults in commercial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As the complexity of electronic control systems in commercial vehicles increases, fault diagnosis of CAN networks in commercial vehicles becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming. However, most of the key and difficult faults encountered in the maintenance channel are closely related to the vehicle's CAN network.

[0003] Currently, the main method for diagnosing CAN network faults in commercial vehicles is to collect messages from faulty vehicles, analyze these messages to obtain vague fault information, and requires specific message analysis software. This places high demands on the professional skills of diagnostic personnel and cannot provide direct diagnostic results regarding the continuity of nodes on each branch of the CAN network. It requires measuring each node with a multimeter, and sometimes it is necessary to disassemble or break the insulation of equipment and wiring harnesses, which takes a lot of time to troubleshoot. Therefore, there is a need for a diagnostic instrument that can quickly and intuitively reflect the status of each branch of the CAN network in commercial vehicles, determine the scope of the fault, and reduce the time spent on troubleshooting. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid diagnostic box for CAN network faults in commercial vehicles, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0006] A rapid diagnostic box for CAN network faults in commercial vehicles includes a diagnostic box body, a diagnostic panel, and a CAN-BUS WIFI module inside the diagnostic box.

[0007] The diagnostic panel is equipped with:

[0008] Several sets of terminals, including gateway terminals and wire harness terminals, wherein the gateway terminals and wire harness terminals are connected by a double banana plug, and the gateway terminals and wire harness terminals are arranged vertically to each other.

[0009] Power indicator light, test light, 24V DC terminal, grounding terminal, digital voltage display module, gateway-wire harness terminal voltage measurement selection switch and terminal voltage selection knob;

[0010] The diagnostic box is equipped with aviation male plug A, aviation male plug B and aviation male plug C on one side. One end of aviation male plug A is connected to the gateway terminal through a wire, one end of aviation male plug B is connected to the wire harness terminal through a wire, and one end of aviation male plug C is connected to the 500K-H terminal, 500K-L terminal, 250K-H terminal, 250K-L terminal, 24V DC terminal and ground terminal through a wire.

[0011] The other end of the aviation connector A is connected to the vehicle gateway interface via diagnostic harness A.

[0012] The other end of the aviation male connector B is connected to the vehicle wiring harness interface via the diagnostic wiring harness B.

[0013] The other end of the aviation male connector C is connected to the power harness, which is equipped with a vehicle cigarette lighter connector, and the vehicle cigarette lighter connector is connected to the vehicle cigarette lighter.

[0014] Preferably, both the aviation male plug A and the aviation male plug B are 32-pin aviation plugs;

[0015] The aviation male connector C is a 6-pin aviation connector;

[0016] The terminal voltage selection knob is a circular knob with 32 positions;

[0017] The number of terminals in several groups is 32, namely terminals A-01, A-02, A-03...A-32;

The diagnostic box and CAN-BUS WIFI module are powered by connecting to the power harness via an aviation male connector C. The power harness is connected to the car cigarette lighter via a car cigarette lighter plug.

[0023] Aviation male connectors A and B connect to the vehicle gateway interface and the vehicle wiring harness, respectively. The selected terminal voltage can be directly displayed on the digital voltage display module via a 32-bit voltage selection knob and a gateway-wiring harness selection switch. Connect the wires to the measuring terminals and the positive or negative terminal of the test lamp. Diagnose the wiring harness continuity by checking if the main test lamp is lit. The CAN-BUS WIFI module monitors the gateway or vehicle CAN line message transmission status in real time, diagnosing whether the gateway or related controllers are working properly. It can quickly and intuitively reflect the status of each branch line of the vehicle CAN network and the continuity of related wiring harnesses, determine the fault range, and reduce fault diagnosis time.
