Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of test simulation, in particular to a simulation method of an electric automobile heat management water pump, a simulation device of the electric automobile heat management water pump, simulation equipment of the electric automobile heat management water pump and a corresponding storage medium.
Background
For better quality assurance of the product, related tests of the thermal management functions and strategies are indispensable, and products which do not pass the tests cannot be counted as products. Most of the existing heat management functions of new energy vehicles are developed in VCUs (vehicle control units) and BMSs (battery management systems), when the main flow heat management (liquid cooling) function is executed, required hardware generally comprises a pump and a valve, the valve is used for changing a cooling liquid circulation path, the water pump is used for providing power for the cooling liquid circulation path, and the water pump is generally selected from an electronic water pump and has the functions of diagnosis and flow rate regulation.
At present, the mainstream of a functional test of a (battery management system) or a VCU (vehicle control unit) in a development stage is a HIL (hardware in loop test) test, that is, a hardware in loop test platform is used to simulate the environment of a vehicle, even an extreme environment which is difficult to realize under normal conditions is used to test the performance of a BMS. The electronic water pump can utilize PWM or high and low levels to send fault information when some faults occur, and when most vehicles test the functions of the heat management pump, if a method of externally connecting a real water pump is adopted, the flow rate and pump fault diagnosis are difficult to simulate for testing.
In the development stage, the external connection of a real water pump is adopted, so that the test environment is simple to build, but the functions of the existing water pump are multiple, and by taking the mainstream water pump as an example, the chip can diagnose the state of the current water pump and then transmit the state of the current water pump to an MCU (microcontroller) through PWM (pulse width modulation), and the purpose of controlling the pump can also be achieved through external PWM input. If the real pump is externally connected, the fault of the pump is very occurred, and the fault which is forcibly destroyed is incomplete and causes cost waste. The disadvantages are summarized as follows:
1) it is difficult to cause various faults and inconvenient to measure the response of the MCU under the pump fault. 2) The real pumps for each project cause cost waste. 3) Sometimes, the test pump needs to work for a long time, energy waste is caused, and meanwhile, the fire risk caused by electric shock and line heating is increased.

Detailed Description
In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present invention, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a simulation method of a thermal management water pump of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1. A simulation method of an electric vehicle thermal management water pump comprises the following steps:
acquiring a signal input into the water pump, and determining that the input signal is normal; generating a corresponding PWM waveform according to the working state of the water pump selected by a user; and outputting the PWM waveform as the working state feedback of the water pump.
Thus, under the condition of not using an actual heat management water pump, various working states of the heat management water pump can be obtained through simulation. The water pump generally adopts PWM control (high and low levels are also a type of PWM), and on the hardware level, the heat management water pump of the electric automobile is directly connected to a BMS or a VCU and is directly controlled by the BMS or the VCU, and the state interaction is carried out through a hard wire. The input of the water pump is a PWM wave, the output is also a PWM wave, the requirement on hardware testing equipment is that a PWM acquisition channel and a PWM output channel can acquire and output waveforms with different frequencies and duty ratios, and the method is easy to realize for most hardware in-the-loop equipment.
The water pump is designed according to the mode commonly used in the market at present, the input PWM of the normal work of the water pump is a range, the frequency is fixed, and the rotating speed of the pump can be controlled by adjusting the duty ratio. The water pump has a diagnosis and detection function, and when the water pump breaks down, the frequency and the duty ratio are fed back to the controller to reflect that the water pump breaks down.
Specifically, fig. 2 is a specific implementation diagram of a simulation method for a thermal management water pump of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, a PWM wave output by a controller via a hard wire is collected through an input collection channel, so as to determine whether the PWM wave meets a pump start command. If not, the pump turn-on command is not sent, and the feedback state is off. If the abnormal state of the water pump is met, the controller is considered to have initiated a command for starting the pump, at the moment, a pump feedback mode is selected, the default state is output in a normal working state, other abnormal modes can be manually selected, output feedback is carried out, and whether the response of the controller is correct or not in the abnormal state of the water pump is tested.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the determining that the input signal is normal includes: determining that the working frequency of the input signal is within a preset frequency range; and determining that the duty ratio of the input signal is within a preset duty ratio range. The working frequency of a normal water pump of the water pump is Freq _ min-Freq _ max, and the working duty ratio is DC _ min-DC _ max. Analyzing the frequency Freq and the duty ratio DC of the PWM wave output from the controller hardwire, judging whether the conditions of Freq _ min-Freq _ max and DC _ min-DC _ max are met, if the conditions are met, outputting the state On, otherwise, outputting the state Off. The embodiment provided by the embodiment can simulate the stopping response of the water pump and the reaction of the corresponding controller under the condition that the input signal is abnormal.
After the above-mentioned working state is judged to be On again, different responses are made according to the state of the real pump to 'cheat' the controller, so that the controller outputs the result expected by the tester. Taking a water pump state of a certain brand as an example: when the water pump works normally, the water pump can feed back a normal working state, and the PWM waveform state at the moment is as follows: 100HZ,
The generating of the corresponding PWM waveform according to the water pump working state selected by the user comprises: calling a preset PWM waveform control parameter according to the working state of the water pump; and generating the corresponding PWM waveform according to the control parameter. The prior art PWM control chip may directly use a digital programmable chip, use program control to generate PWM waveform, such as PIC16F72, or use an APC chip to perform control, such as setting several sets of control parameters, including high and low levels, frequency, pulse width and duty ratio. Each group of control parameters corresponds to a water pump working state, and a PWM output waveform is also determined. The present embodiment mainly provides a way of software controlling the PWM waveform.
Alternatively, an external modulation PWM scheme may be used. The generating of the corresponding PWM waveform according to the water pump working state selected by the user comprises: calling a preset PWM basic waveform and a PWM step according to the working state of the water pump; and after the PWM basic waveform is processed by the PWM modulation step, the corresponding PWM waveform is obtained. For example, to generate the aforementioned PWM waveform during normal operation, two PWM basic waveforms are adopted, one is a waveform with a frequency of 100HZ and a duty ratio of 50%, and the other is a waveform with a duty ratio of 0%, and the modulation method is as follows: and controlling the waveform with the duty ratio of 50% to output for 4.5s by a timer, then outputting for 0.5s by the waveform with the duty ratio of 0%, repeating the process to obtain the PWM waveform with the duty ratio of 100HZ, the duration of 50% of the duty ratio of 4.5s and the duration of 0% of the duty ratio of 0.5s, and using the PWM waveform as the feedback of the working state of the water pump, wherein the controller judges the working state of the water pump to be normal working according to the PWM waveform.
Different state feedback of the water pump is simulated in the same way, namely different PWM waveforms are adopted. The faults of the water pump, such as dry running, locked running, over-temperature and the like, are often caused, and the faults are difficult to test by using a real water pump. The tester can simulate the signal according to the corresponding feedback information description in the concrete water pump specification. During fault simulation, the state of the pump is set through mode selection, corresponding bits are sent to select corresponding faults, for example, 0 represents normal work, 1 represents dry rotation, 2 represents locked rotation, 3 represents over-temperature and the like, states can be added according to actual needs, and each state corresponds to different PWM waveforms.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a simulation apparatus for an electric vehicle thermal management water pump includes: the input signal detection module is used for acquiring a signal input into the water pump and determining that the input signal is normal; the man-machine interaction module is used for acquiring the working state of the water pump selected by a user and transmitting the working state to the simulation generation module; the analog generation module is used for generating a corresponding PWM waveform according to the working state of the water pump; and the analog output module is used for outputting the PWM waveform as the working state feedback of the water pump.

The simulation generation module is used for generating PWM waveforms corresponding to the water pump working state selected by the user. And the analog output module is used for outputting the PWM waveform and comprises the adaptation of a system hardware interface and the adaptation of a software interface. The modules can be virtual modules and are used for providing on-line simulation of the water pump; or may be physical modules, integrated by one skilled in the art into a physical hardware including input ports, output ports, user interaction devices, and PWM waveform control by selecting appropriate hardware.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the input signal detection module includes: the frequency detection submodule is used for determining that the working frequency of the input signal is within a preset frequency range; and the duty ratio detection submodule is used for determining that the duty ratio of the input signal is within a preset duty ratio range. When the input signal detection module works, resolving frequency Freq and duty ratio DC of the output wave from the PWM wave output by the controller hardwire, and judging whether the conditions of Freq _ min-Freq _ max and DC _ min-DC _ max are met, if the conditions are met, outputting a state On, otherwise, outputting a state Off.
