[0019] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the brushed motor controller test circuit module and the aviation connector module in a certain embodiment of the present application. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A motor controller test circuit includes a brushless motor controller test circuit module, a brushed motor controller test circuit module, and an aviation connector module. The brushless motor controller test circuit module and the brushed motor controller test circuit module can be communicated and connected to the aviation connector module respectively. That is, the brushless motor controller test circuit module and the brushed motor controller test circuit module share the aviation connector module, and the aviation connector module is connected to an industrial control computer.
[0022] During testing, depending on the model of the motor controller under test (brushed or brushless), either the brushed motor controller test circuit module or the brushless motor controller test circuit module is inserted into the aviation connector module. The industrial control computer, based on pre-stored test commands, controls the brushed or brushless motor controller test circuit modules via the aviation connector module to perform the corresponding tests. It is understood that the brushed and brushless motor controller test circuit modules are integrated on separate circuit boards, each with corresponding connectors for the aviation connector modules. It should be noted that the integration of the test circuit modules onto the circuit board and the placement of the connectors on the circuit board can be achieved using existing circuit board manufacturing techniques.
[0023] By using the above-mentioned motor controller test circuit, when testing the motor controller, the tester can flexibly and conveniently insert the brushed motor controller test circuit module or the brushless motor controller test circuit module into the common aviation interface module according to the type of motor controller being tested. This allows for the testing of the motor controller, which is convenient, fast, efficient, and versatile.
[0024] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the aviation connector module includes a battery temperature NTC connector 8, a power negative connector 9, a power positive connector 10, a signal switch connector 11, an encoder connector 12, an electronic load connector 13, a motor wiring connector 14, and a short-circuit connector.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 The brushless motor controller test circuit module includes a simulated battery pack module 1, a brushless motor controller 2, a brushless motor 3, and a rectifier circuit 5. The simulated battery pack module 1 is connected to the battery temperature NTC connector 8, communicates with the brushless motor controller 2, and is connected to the negative power connector 9. The brushless motor controller 2 is electrically connected to one end of the rectifier circuit 5, and the other end of the rectifier circuit 5 is connected to the electronic load connector 13 and the motor wiring connector 14. The brushless motor controller 2 is connected to the brushless motor 3 and to the positive power connector 10. The brushless motor controller 2 is connected to the signal switch connector 11 via a signal switch 7. In this embodiment, the simulated battery pack module 1 is equipped with an NTC detection module to simulate the temperature changes of the battery pack and perform high and low temperature protection tests on the controller under test. Additionally, the simulated battery pack module 1 mainly serves a communication function and does not supply power to the controller under test. The brushless motor 3 is connected to the encoder connector 12 to provide information acquired by the encoder, including the motor's speed and direction.
[0026] The brushless motor controller 2 is connected to the motor wiring port 14 and the short-circuit port via a relay 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, the brushless motor controller test circuit module is equipped with a three-phase rectifier, which is connected to the brushless motor 3 to rectify the three-phase lines of the brushless motor 3 into two-phase lines (converting the AC power output by the three-phase brushless motor into DC power). The rectified phase lines (DC+ / - terminals) are connected to the electronic load to achieve accurate loading of the electronic load.
[0028] An inductor is connected in parallel across the electronic load via a three-phase rectifier. A resistor R and an inductor L are connected in parallel, with a total impedance Z = (R + jωL) / (R·jωL). Overall, the load exhibits inductive behavior. The original motor coil is used as the inductor.
[0029] When the brushless motor 3 is tested under no-load conditions, the three-phase rectifier and the controller under test are disconnected through the relay 6; under load conditions, the three-phase rectifier and the controller under test are connected to simulate the state under load.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 The brushed motor controller test circuit module includes a simulated battery pack module 1, a brushed motor controller 15, and a brushed motor 16. The simulated battery pack module 1 is connected to the battery temperature NTC connector 8, communicates with the brushed motor controller 15, and is connected to the negative power connector 9. The brushed motor controller 15 is connected to the brushed motor 16 and the positive power connector 10. The brushed motor controller 15 is connected to the signal switch connector 11 via a signal switch 7. Similarly, the brushed motor 16 is connected to the encoder connector 12 to provide information from the encoder 4, including the motor's speed and direction. The brushed motor controller 15 is connected to the motor wiring connector 14 and the short-circuit connector via a relay 6.
[0031] The brushed motor controller 15 is connected to the motor wiring port 14 and the short-circuit port via a relay 6.
[0032] When the brushed motor 16 is subjected to no-load functional testing, the industrial control computer directly shuts down the electronic load, disconnecting the electronic load from the controller under test. This avoids the electronic load affecting the no-load functional test and thus the accuracy of the no-load functional test results.
[0033] When under load, the electronic load is connected to the controller under test, and the controller under test is disconnected from the motor using relay 6. At this time, the electronic load can be used to directly simulate the state of the motor under load.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
