Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor controllers, and in particular to an aging test device for motor controllers. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as new energy vehicles and industrial motor drive systems, the motor controller, as a core control unit, directly determines the safety performance and service life of the terminal equipment through its long-term operational stability and reliability. Existing motor controller aging test benches have significant technical shortcomings: Firstly, they lack compatibility and scalability. Most benches have narrow hardware performance ranges and weak product compatibility, with numerous integrated communication interfaces, making expansion difficult. They only provide a single communication protocol (e.g., supporting only CAN communication), failing to adapt to motor controllers from different manufacturers using CAN and CANFD communication. Furthermore, the integrated structure necessitates large-scale circuit and program modifications for adding new test functions, resulting in high costs and long development cycles. Secondly, test reliability and efficiency need improvement. Some benches have low accuracy in acquiring electrical parameters, weak anti-interference capabilities, and are prone to data fluctuations. They also have low automation levels, requiring manual intervention in parameter setting, operation control, and data recording processes, increasing labor costs and increasing the risk of test failure due to operational errors. Additionally, fault maintenance is difficult; the integrated module and bus-type communication architecture make fault location time-consuming and have a wide impact, failing to meet the industry's demand for efficient and reliable testing.

[0007] Preferably, the high-voltage DC zone includes a high-voltage DC power supply group, an electronic control module one, and a high-voltage output interface. The input busbar port three, the high-voltage DC power supply group, the electronic control module one, and the high-voltage output interface are connected in series in sequence. The high-voltage DC power supply group and the electronic control module one are connected in parallel to the data acquisition area.
[0008] Preferably, the data acquisition area includes a sensor and an electrical parameter acquisition module. The sensor has a port six and a port seven. The sensor is connected in parallel between the high-voltage DC power supply and the electrical control module one. The port six of the sensor is electrically connected to the electrical parameter acquisition module, and the port seven of the sensor is electrically connected to the AC sampling module.
[0009] Preferably, the AC sampling module includes an AC input interface and an AC output interface, the AC input interface and the AC output interface are electrically connected, and the AC input interface and the AC output interface are electrically connected to the port of the sensor.
[0010] Preferably, the low-voltage DC zone includes a low-voltage DC regulated power supply and a low-voltage DC output interface. The low-voltage DC regulated power supply includes port eight and port nine. The low-voltage DC regulated power supply is electrically connected to port five of the input busbar.

[0011] Preferably, the safety module includes a safety component module and a temperature control module, and the port nine of the low-voltage DC regulated power supply, the temperature control module, and the safety component module are connected in series in sequence.
[0012] Preferably, the aging test device further includes a central control host computer module, the software of which is electrically connected to a serial port server, a LAN switch, a CAN communication module, a safety component module, a temperature control module, and an electrical parameter acquisition module.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The communication module adopts a hierarchical star topology, supporting multiple communication types such as serial server, LAN switch and CAN communication module. The entire test bench is modularly designed, with each functional module being relatively independent and compatible with test products and peripheral devices (such as environmental chambers, chillers, etc.) from different manufacturers and with different communication protocols. When new devices are added or test functions are expanded, they can be easily accessed and configured at the corresponding module layer without large-scale modifications to the entire test bench. This solves the problems of poor compatibility and difficulty in expansion that may exist in existing technologies, and improves the applicability and scalability of the test bench.
[0014] 2. The data acquisition area is equipped with sensors and electrical parameter acquisition modules, which can accurately acquire electrical parameter signals such as high-voltage DC and AC sampling. The safety component module (emergency stop switch, audible and visual warning) can intervene in time in case of abnormality. The temperature control module can stably maintain a suitable temperature inside the test bench. During the aging test of the motor controller, it can acquire key data such as electrical parameters in real time and accurately, providing a reliable basis for test result analysis. At the same time, the timely response to abnormal situations and the stable temperature control can ensure the stability of the test environment and avoid the impact of environmental or equipment abnormalities on the test results. This solves the problems of inaccurate test data and insufficient reliability of the test process that may exist in the existing technology, and improves the reliability and accuracy of aging test results.
[0015] 3. The host computer software provides centralized control and management of all modules on the test bench. The communication module ensures smooth information exchange between the modules, the test bench, and peripheral equipment. Modules such as AC input, high-voltage DC, and low-voltage DC can efficiently complete power conversion and distribution, and can realize automated control of the motor controller aging test process. From power supply and parameter acquisition to status monitoring, everything can be automatically coordinated by the software, reducing manual intervention and improving test efficiency. Furthermore, the efficient information transmission between modules makes the test process smoother, solving the problems of low automation and low test efficiency that may exist in existing technologies, and improving the level of automation and efficiency of testing.
[0016] 4. By adopting a modular design for the test bench, each functional module (such as the AC input module, high-voltage DC area, and data acquisition area) is relatively independent. In the star communication architecture, each device is independently connected to the central node. When a module or device fails, the faulty module or device can be quickly located, and only that part needs to be maintained without affecting the normal operation of other parts of the test bench. This reduces maintenance difficulty and time costs, solves the problems of maintenance difficulties and wide fault impact range that may exist in existing technologies, and improves the maintainability of the test bench.
