[0020] In this embodiment, by integrating the power supply, external interface, display screen 2, control buttons, and test circuit into a single housing 1, the testing device achieves integrated testing functions. This design reduces the number of times equipment needs to be changed during testing, significantly improving testing efficiency.

Simultaneously, the integrated design reduces the number of testing devices, thereby lowering testing costs. The external interface provides multiple interface types for connecting external devices and simulating different test conditions. This design allows the testing device to adapt to various testing scenarios and meet different testing needs.

[0022] In this embodiment, by connecting to external devices through the overvoltage test simulation voltage interface 3, the voltage output required for overvoltage testing can be flexibly simulated. This means that the testing device can adapt to overvoltage test requirements of different specifications and standards without replacing the entire testing device or a large number of internal components, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the test. By providing grounding protection test interfaces 4 with different resistance values, the testing device can simulate grounding protection tests under different resistance conditions.

This design reduces startup time, improves testing efficiency, and enables maintenance personnel to start testing work more quickly. The boost button 6 and buck button 7 allow maintenance personnel to flexibly adjust the output voltage of the voltage regulator according to actual testing needs. Whether high voltage is required for overvoltage testing or low voltage is required for other types of testing, it can be easily achieved through these two buttons. This flexibility allows the testing device to adapt to various testing scenarios, improving the adaptability and accuracy of testing. By precisely controlling the output voltage, maintenance personnel can ensure the consistency and repeatability of testing conditions, thereby improving testing accuracy. At the same time, this design also reduces testing errors caused by voltage fluctuations or instability, improving testing reliability. The design of the control buttons takes into account the ease of operation, allowing maintenance personnel to easily master and quickly operate the system. This simplified operation process design reduces the skill level requirements for maintenance personnel, reduces the complexity and error rate in the operation process, and improves work efficiency.

The grounding protection test interface 4 is electrically connected to the voltage regulator through resistor components with different resistance values. The voltage start button 5, the boost button 6, and the buck button 7 are electrically connected to the voltage regulator.

[0026] In this embodiment, through electrical connections with the overvoltage test simulation voltage interface 3, voltage start button 5, boost button 6, and buck button 7, the voltage regulator can precisely control the output voltage. This allows the testing device to simulate test scenarios under different voltage conditions, meeting various test requirements and improving the flexibility and accuracy of the test. The grounding protection test interface 4 is electrically connected to the voltage regulator through resistor components of different resistance values, enabling the testing device to simulate grounding protection tests under different resistance conditions. This design allows maintenance personnel to simulate various possible grounding fault situations in actual operation, thereby more comprehensively evaluating the performance and reliability of the grounding protection system. Through the electrical connection design, The testing device can automatically adjust the voltage and quickly simulate grounding protection conditions, reducing the time for manual intervention and adjustment, and improving testing efficiency. This design also helps to automate the testing process, reduce human error, and improve the accuracy and consistency of the tests. Through the electrical connection between the control buttons (voltage start button 5, boost button 6, and buck button 7) and the voltage regulator, maintenance personnel can easily control the power start and voltage adjustment of the testing device. This design simplifies the operation process, reduces operational difficulty, and enhances the user experience. Simultaneously, the display screen can show the output voltage value in real time, allowing maintenance personnel to intuitively understand the voltage changes during the testing process.

[0027] It should be noted that the resistor assembly includes a 3000Ω resistor, a 2500Ω resistor, and a 1400Ω resistor, which are electrically connected to the grounding protection test interface.

[0028] In addition, the test procedure for the test circuit includes:

Connect one end of the connecting wire to the overvoltage test simulation voltage output port of the test device. Connect the "+" end of the output signal line to the V1 (or V2) terminal of the PLC, and the "-" end to the AGND terminal of the PLC. After ensuring that it is tightened correctly, press the voltage start button of the test device. Adjust the output simulation value of the test device to 8.0V using the voltage increase and voltage decrease buttons. Close the integrated control cabinet. With a DC110V control power supply, the integrated control cabinet touch screen displays the voltage between 590V and 610V for channel I (or channel II). Select the automatic position for the power conversion switch SA1, and select channel I (or channel II) power supply for the PLC. Then, perform a simulated overvoltage protection test: adjust the simulated output value of the test device to 8.8V. At this time, the display shows that the voltage of channel I (or channel II) is greater than 660V. The PLC automatically controls the disconnection of the power supply to channel I (or channel II), and the display shows the overvoltage fault information of the power bus of channel I (or channel II).

[0030] PLC leakage alarm test: Set the integrated control cabinet touch screen to 80mA. After powering off for 3 minutes, connect the connecting wire to the 2500Ω port of the test device. Connect the other end to the positive terminal and ground terminal (or negative terminal and ground terminal) of the passenger compartment electric heating output cage terminal in sequence. Close the passenger compartment electric heating switch to restore DC600V power supply. Set the passenger compartment electric heating conversion switch SA5 or the air conditioning mode selection switch SA6 to the half-heat position or the test warm position. Simulate a DC600V positive (or negative) line ground leakage current greater than 80mA for more than 1 second, and the protection circuit will activate. Using the same method, use the 3000Ω port of the test device to test. Simulate a leakage current less than 80mA for more than 30 seconds, and the protection circuit will not activate. Check the relevant information on the integrated control cabinet touch screen.

[0031] DC600V trunk line insulation simulation test for the first and last cars: Temporarily set the display screen of the test device and the DC600V online insulation monitoring device to 150mA. After powering off for 3 minutes, connect the connecting wire to the 1400Ω port. Connect the other end to the positive terminal and ground terminal (or negative terminal and ground terminal) of the passenger compartment electric heating output cage terminal in sequence. Then close the passenger compartment electric heating switch and restore the DC600V power supply. Set the passenger compartment electric heating conversion switch SA5 or the air conditioning condition selection switch SA6 to the half-heat position or the test warm position for more than 2 seconds. Check the relevant information on the touch screen of the bus (first and last cars) integrated control cabinet.

[0032] DC600V Overcurrent Protection Simulation Test: First, disconnect the main circuit and control circuit of the integrated control cabinet. Remove A3 and the corresponding AGND3 from the PLC. Connect the "+" terminal of the test fixture's output signal line to point V3 of the PLC, and the "-" terminal to the AGND3 terminal of the PLC. After ensuring that it is tightened correctly, adjust the output simulation value of the test fixture to 6.1V (9.7V is required for the catering car simulation test). Turn on the DC110V control power supply of the integrated control cabinet and turn the power conversion switch to the automatic position. After the main power supply contactor is engaged, the DC600V current display on the integrated control cabinet touch screen will exceed the set value (145A for catering cars and 90A for other car types) for more than 3 seconds. Check the fault information on the integrated control cabinet touch screen.

[0033] Preferably, the display screen 2, voltage start button 5, voltage boost button 6 and voltage buck button 7 are respectively installed on the front surface of the housing 1, and the overvoltage test simulation voltage interface 3 and grounding protection test interface 4 are installed on the side of the housing 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the display screen 2, voltage start button 5, boost button 6, and buck button 7 are respectively installed on the front surface of the housing 1. This allows maintenance personnel to easily view the information on the display screen and simultaneously perform operations such as power-on and voltage adjustment. This design reduces eye movement and body movements during operation, improving convenience and efficiency. The overvoltage test simulation voltage interface 3 and grounding protection test interface 4 are installed on the side of the housing. This layout facilitates the connection of external devices and avoids mutual interference between the front operation area and the interface area. When connecting external devices, maintenance personnel do not need to move or obstruct the front display screen and control buttons, ensuring smooth and safe operation. By installing the display screen 2, control buttons, and external interfaces on different surfaces of the housing 1, the space of the housing 1 is rationally partitioned and utilized.
