The mechanism includes a starting contactor 21, a discharging contactor 22, a high-voltage capacitor 3, a discharging resistor 4, an LED indicator 5, a test start button 61, and a test stop button 62. The starting contactor 21 and the high-voltage capacitor 3 are located on the high-voltage DC bus of the high-voltage DC power supply 1 and the controller assembly under test 7. The high-voltage DC power supply 1 is located next to the dynamometer. The high-voltage DC power supply 1 receives three-phase AC 380V input and outputs high-voltage DC power to the controller under test according to a set configuration. Assembly 7, the high voltage capacitor 3 and the high voltage DC bus of the controller assembly under test 7 are provided with the discharge contactor 22, the discharge contactor 22 and the high voltage positive bus of the controller assembly under test 7 are connected in series with the LED indicator 5 and the discharge resistor 4, the test start button 61 is electrically connected to the start contactor 21, the test stop button 62 is electrically connected to the discharge contactor 22, the controller assembly under test 7 is electrically connected to the permanent magnet synchronous motor 8 under test, and both the controller assembly under test 7 and the permanent magnet synchronous motor 8 under test are communicatively connected to the operating computer 9.

[0019] In this embodiment, by installing the starting contactor 21 and the high-voltage capacitor 3 on the high-voltage DC bus of the high-voltage DC power supply 1 and the controller assembly under test 7, the starting contactor 21 controls the power supply switching, and the high-voltage capacitor 3 can suppress the surge current when the contactor operates, reducing the impact on the controller assembly under test 7 and preventing the TVS tube from exploding. A discharge contactor 22, an LED indicator 5, and a discharge resistor 4 are also installed. When the test stops, the discharge contactor 22 engages, discharging the high-voltage capacitor 3 through the discharge resistor 4. The LED indicator 5 displays the discharge status in real time, ensuring operator safety. The controller assembly under test 7 is communicatively connected to the permanent magnet synchronous motor under test 8 and the operating computer 9, ensuring accurate data acquisition and analysis, and improving the safety and accuracy of the testing process.

[0020] Specifically, after the test controller assembly 7 and the test permanent magnet synchronous motor 8 are installed on the dynamometer test bench, the high voltage DC power supply 1 is set to output high voltage according to the high voltage setting of the test controller assembly 7, the test start button 61 is turned on, and the test stop button 62 is automatically turned off.

[0021] Furthermore, when the starting contactor 21 closes, the discharge contactor 22 automatically disconnects.

[0025] Furthermore, after the controller assembly 7 and the tested permanent magnet synchronous motor 8 have completed the performance test, pressing the stop button 62 will automatically disconnect the start button 61.

[0026] Furthermore, the discharge contactor 22 engages, and the starting contactor 21 disengages.

[0027] Furthermore, the high-voltage capacitor 3, the discharge resistor 4, and the LED indicator 5 form a circuit. When the high-voltage capacitor 3 is in a discharging state, the LED indicator 5 is lit to indicate the charge status of the high-voltage capacitor.

[0028] Furthermore, when the LED indicator 5 goes out, the discharge process ends, indicating that the charge of the high-voltage capacitor 3 is below the safe value, and subsequent operations such as installation and disassembly of the controller assembly 7 and the permanent magnet synchronous motor 8 under test can be carried out.
