The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The present invention proposes an embodiment of an airbag controller event data recording function test system, specifically, as shown in fig. 1, including: the system comprises an upper computer, a hardware-in-loop (HIL) test cabinet, a collision bench and a CAN analyzer.

The HIL test cabinet specifically comprises: real time, bus board and I/O board; the crash bench includes an airbag controller with a built-in vehicle event data recording module and a crash sensor coupled to the airbag controller.
The upper computer and the HIL test cabinet are communicated in real time through the Ethernet, the HIL test cabinet is respectively communicated with the air bag controller and the CAN analyzer through the CAN bus, and the power supply of the air bag controller CAN be provided by the HIL test cabinet.
Specifically, the HIL test cabinet in the upper computer and the application software of the CAN analyzer CAN be provided by the equipment provider used; the EDR analysis program may be implemented in a programming manner, which will be described later.
In actual operation, the upper computer is used for controlling real time to drive the bus board card and the I/O board card to respectively execute the function of analog simulation. The bus board card is used for simulating the CAN network environment of the whole vehicle connected with the safety airbag controller; the I/O board card may simulate the state of electrical components connected to the airbag controller, such as the state of electrical components of the airbag, the curtain, and the belt buckle switch, and specifically, the airbag and the curtain may be simulated by the simulated resistor, and the belt buckle switch may be simulated by the simulated circuit switch.
With regard to the aforementioned airbag controller and collision sensors, they may be fixed to a bench in actual operation, and the number of collision sensors may be determined according to the safety configuration of the vehicle type under test. The crash bench preferably adopts a relatively small and light structure, so that the simulated crash acceleration after knocking the bench can easily reach the threshold value of the trigger sensor, and the EDR integrated in the air bag controller can be smoothly triggered.
As the CAN analyzer, a CAN bus analyzer capable of reading a diagnostic message of 111 frames or more at a time is preferably used, for example, but not limited to VN1600 of Vector company, intraork-VBA of longitude and latitude constant company, and the like. Since usually at least 772 bytes of EDR recorded data are needed, the CAN analyzer obtains the EDR recorded data by sending a diagnostic command, and if a sufficient amount of message information cannot be obtained, partial deletion of the EDR data is caused.

step S2, simulating a whole vehicle CAN network according to a test vehicle type, and setting CAN signals related to the test based on the test case, wherein the CAN signals comprise but not limited to CAN signals such as vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, engine speed and the like;
s3, the real-time machine in the HIL test cabinet receives an instruction of the upper computer to drive the bus board card and the I/O board card in the HIL test cabinet to combine the state of the electrical element and the CAN signal, and simulate the electrical element and the whole vehicle CAN network which are actually connected by the air bag controller;
s4, manually knocking the collision rack to trigger the operation of the automobile event data recording function; specifically, the impact bench may be struck during testing with a striking hammer (or surrogate) such that the acceleration of the airbag controller and impact sensor reaches a trigger threshold.
Step S5, the upper computer obtains CAN signal data (from the whole vehicle CAN network simulated by the simulation) recorded by the automobile event data recording function through a CAN analyzer;
s6, reading and analyzing the CAN signal data by the upper computer;
and S7, comparing the analysis result with a preset state in the test case, and judging whether the tested function is compliant.
It may be additionally noted that, regarding the parsing of the CAN signal data, in some preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a simple and easy implementation method through a form application Excel. It may be noted here that the basis of all EDR analyses is the current industry standard, such as "automobile event data recording system", EDR data element arrangement based on CAN line communication, etc.
Thus, first, the event record data represented by CAN messages CAN be converted from 16 to decimal format by the function HEX2DEC in Excel.
Then, inquiring a set standard to obtain element arrangement rules and conversion formulas of event record data;
if the conversion formula is a linear function, directly converting through a corresponding function of Excel; if the conversion formula is ASCII code, the conversion is carried out through the CHAR function of Excel.
In addition, when an Excel-based analysis program is compiled, the continuous variation signals such as delta-V, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, engine speed and the like in the CAN message CAN be displayed in the form of an Excel chart, so that the EDR recorded data CAN be conveniently watched and consulted.
In summary, the main design concept of the invention is that the HIL test cabinet simulates the real CAN network environment of the whole vehicle, so that the test environment is close to the real vehicle environment, and various working conditions possibly occurring on the real vehicle CAN be accurately reproduced. By using the I/O board card to simulate the analog electric element, the cost is lower than that of adopting a real tested element, and the test can be repeated, thereby greatly reducing the project development period and the test cost. Based on the above, the simulated electrical element can adjust the resistance value and the switch state according to the test requirement, and the change condition of the load current and the voltage of the electrical element in the test can be monitored through the I/O board card, so that the detonation working conditions of the simulated safety airbag and the safety air curtain can be monitored.
