Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning testing technology, and in particular to a testing system for vehicle air conditioning controllers. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the testing of automotive air conditioning controllers often involves using separate power simulators, signal acquisition devices, and CAN communication debuggers to measure different parameters. This involves numerous manual wiring and switching steps, which are prone to wiring errors and thus affect the accuracy of test results. Automotive air conditioning controllers operate on a wide voltage range of 8-16V (vehicle-grade DC) and require matching with specialized components such as blowers, heating / cooling actuators, mode actuators, and fresh air actuators. Existing general-purpose testing equipment struggles to accurately simulate the voltage fluctuations of the vehicle battery and cannot adapt to the load characteristics of these specialized actuators, making it impossible to reproduce the controller's actual operating state after installation in a vehicle.
[0003] In traditional testing, test results are typically presented as numerical values on instruments, lacking specific fault codes or visual indicators for automotive air conditioning controllers. Testers must meticulously verify each test data point to determine the controller's fault type, a time-consuming process. Furthermore, the connector specifications and actuator interface definitions differ between automotive air conditioning controllers of different models. Existing testing equipment lacks dedicated adapter structures, requiring frequent changes to adapter fixtures when testing controllers for different models, resulting in low testing efficiency in mass production scenarios.

This module connects directly to the main control board and also interfaces with an adapter board via the P1 interface, ultimately providing the tested vehicle air conditioning controller with a power supply that conforms to the vehicle scenario, supporting the controller in reproducing the actual power consumption environment after installation in a vehicle.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the power supply voltage signal acquisition module connects to the adapter board via the P2 interface to acquire the reserved power signal output from the 7-pin connector of the controller under test.

[0049] The adapter board, as a core component for signal relay between the main control board and external controllers, actuators, and fan boards under test, integrates multiple functional interfaces. The specific implementation structure and function of each interface are as follows: The pin definitions of the power interface P1 correspond exactly to the P1 interface of the main control board power module. Pins 1-2 are the BAT power supply pins for simulating the vehicle battery, and pins 4-5 are the power supply pins for simulating the vehicle power supply. In practical applications, one end of this interface is directly connected to the P1 interface of the main control board through 2.54mm pitch DuPont wires to draw power, and the other end is led out through a terminal block fixed with screws to provide DC8-16V vehicle-mounted simulated power supply to the external controller and actuator under test, meeting the power requirements of the device under test.

It transmits the analog indoor fan voltage signal, room temperature sensor signal, etc. output by the main control board to the controller under test, simulating the signal input of the vehicle sensor.
[0055] The P36 interface for the heating and cooling actuator uses a pluggable spring terminal as the lead-out terminal, which can be directly crimped to the wiring terminal of the vehicle air conditioning heating and cooling actuator. This interface is linked with the actuator negative control interface (P6) and actuator power interface (P7) through the internal circuit of the adapter board. After connecting the heating and cooling actuator, its working status signal can be collected in real time, realizing intuitive indication and testing of the actuator's working status.

The operator manually operates and visually inspects the screen and buttons for any issues, while simultaneously testing the blower signal.
[0064] After confirming everything is correct, press the automatic test button. The test bench will activate the CAN communication signal output. Once the CAN communication signal is confirmed to be correct, it will output CAN communication commands and simultaneously output analog sensor signals. The product will perform relevant CAN communication interactions and signal acquisition outputs according to the output logic. The test bench will detect the corresponding actuator output signals and power signals of the product and determine their correctness, indicating the status via indicator lights.
