The embodiments provided in the examples of the present application may be combined with each other without contradiction.

Before describing the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, in order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the present application first specifically describes the problems existing in the related art:

In order to improve the safety of the battery pack, it is generally necessary to perform a test such as an End of line (EOL) test on the battery pack. However, current test systems have a relatively low test efficiency. In addition, for example, current test systems are generally suitable for testing during the battery pack development stage, making EOL testing difficult to implement.

In order to solve the technical problems in the related art, the embodiment of the application provides a test system and a test method, which can improve the test efficiency of the test system.

The test system provided in the embodiments of the present application will be first described below.

Fig. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a test system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, a test system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application may include a detection device 100, a switching circuit 110, and a control module 120. In some embodiments, the test system 10 may include one or more test devices 100 (or test instruments), which are not limited in this application. For example, a plurality of test devices 100 may be used for testing of different test items.

The switching circuit 110 includes a plurality of switching modules 111, first ends of the plurality of switching modules 111 may be electrically connected to the sensing device 100, and second ends of the plurality of switching modules 111 may be used to electrically connect to a plurality of interfaces of a battery pack (not shown in the drawing) to be tested. The application is not limited to the type of the battery pack to be tested. For example, in some examples, a battery pack to be tested may include a battery module, a battery monitoring unit (Cell Supervision Circuit, CSC), and a battery management system (Battery Management System, BMS). The battery pack to be tested may include one or more battery modules. One battery module may include a plurality of unit cells connected in series or parallel or in series-parallel. The series-parallel connection refers to that a plurality of single battery cells are connected in series or in parallel.

The battery monitoring unit can be used for measuring data such as voltage, current and/or temperature of the single battery cell, and then the data such as voltage, current and/or temperature of the single battery cell is transmitted to the battery management system. The battery management system can be used for managing the battery pack to be tested, such as receiving data of voltage, current, temperature and the like of the single battery cell, calculating a State of Charge (SOC) and a State of Health (SOH), and completing battery precharge and Charge/discharge management.

For example, in some examples, the battery pack to be tested may be a domain controlled battery pack. The domain control battery pack may be provided with a high voltage power distribution box (PDU), an On Board Charger (OBC), a direct current charging circuit, a direct current converter (DC-DC), a direct current-to-alternating current converter (DC-AC), a vehicle controller (Vehicle Control Unit, VCU), and/or a Motor Controller (MCU), for example, in addition to the battery module, the battery monitoring unit, and the battery management system. In some embodiments, the test system 10 may be used to perform testing of a plurality of test items on a domain controlled battery pack.

The control module 120 may be electrically connected to the control terminals of the plurality of switch modules 111, where the control module 120 is configured to control the on-off states of the plurality of switch modules 111. The type of control module 120 is not limited in this application, for example, in some examples, control module 120 may include a single-chip microcomputer.

According to the test system provided by the embodiment of the application, the on-off states of the switch modules are controlled by the control module, so that the detection equipment can be switched to be electrically connected with different interfaces of the battery pack to be tested, the test of various different test items can be realized, automatic switching can be realized, manual switching and connecting circuits are not needed, the test efficiency of the test system is improved, and the probability of circuit connection errors is reduced.

Fig. 2 is another circuit schematic diagram of the test system according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, according to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the test system 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application may further include a multi-channel selection circuit 21 and a single-channel selection circuit 22. The control module 120 may be electrically connected to the control terminal of the switch module 111 through a multi-channel selection circuit 21 and a single-channel selection circuit 22 connected in parallel. That is, the control module 120 may control the on-off states of the plurality of switch modules 111 through the multi-channel selection circuit 21, and the control module 120 may also control the on-off states of the plurality of switch modules 111 through the single-channel selection circuit 22.

The multi-channel selection circuit 21 may also be referred to as a multi-channel amplifying circuit, where the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may include a plurality of parallel first channels (not shown in fig. 2), at least two first channels in the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may be controlled to be turned on, and the control module 120 may provide an enable signal to the control terminals of the at least two switch modules 111 through the at least two first channels that are turned on to control the at least two switch modules 111 to be turned on.

In this way, the detection device 100 may be connected to at least two interfaces of the battery pack to be detected through the at least two on-state switch modules 111, so as to detect the at least two interfaces of the battery pack to be detected. For example, at high voltage of the battery pack to be tested, parallel detection of at least two interfaces of the battery pack to be tested can be achieved.

The single channel selection circuit 22 may include a plurality of parallel second channels (not shown in fig. 2), and one of the second channels in the single channel selection circuit 22 may be controlled to be turned on, so that the control module 120 may provide an enable signal to the control terminal of one of the switch modules 111 through the turned-on one of the second channels in the single channel selection circuit 22 to control the one of the switch modules 111 to be turned on.

Since only one second channel in the single channel selection circuit 22 is on and the other second channels are off, the interlocking between any two second channels can be realized, and the interlocking between any two switch modules 111 can be further realized. That is, the single channel selection circuit 22 may select one of the switch modules 111 to be turned on, and lock the other switch modules 111 to be turned off. In this way, when the battery pack to be tested provides the high voltage signal to the test system 10, since only one switch module 111 is turned on, the high voltage signal of the battery pack to be tested can only enter the test system 10 through one switch module 111 that is turned on, and other switch modules 111 that are turned off can prevent the high voltage signal of the battery pack to be tested from entering other interfaces or other detection devices in the test system 10, so as to realize protection of the test system 10.

In this way, the detection device 100 may communicate with an interface of the battery pack to be detected through the on one switch module 111, so as to implement detection of the interface of the battery pack to be detected. For example, protection of the test system 10 may be achieved by an interlock mechanism of the single channel selection circuit 22 at high voltages on the battery pack under test.

Fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of a test system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may optionally include a plurality of first switching devices 31 in parallel, according to some embodiments of the present application. For example, in some examples, the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may include a plurality of parallel first channels T1, and at least one first switching device 31 may be disposed on each of the first channels T1. The plurality of first switching devices 31 may be electrically connected to the control terminals Q of the plurality of switching modules 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. Illustratively, the first switching device 31 may include a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), or a transistor or the like switching device. The first switching device 31 in fig. 3 is shown in a simple drawing of a switch.

The control module 120 may control the at least two switching modules 111 to be turned on through the at least two turned-on first switching devices 31. For example, the control module 120 may provide an enable signal to control terminals of the two switching modules 111 connected to the at least two first switching devices 31 through the at least two first switching devices 31 that are turned on to control the at least two switching modules 111 connected to the at least two first switching devices 31 that are turned on to be turned on.

As shown in fig. 3, the single channel selection circuit 22 may optionally include a plurality of second switching devices 32 in parallel, according to some embodiments of the present application. For example, in some examples, the single channel selection circuit 22 may include a plurality of parallel second channels T2, each of which second channels T2 may have at least one second switching device 32 disposed thereon. The plurality of second switching devices 32 may be electrically connected to the control terminals of the plurality of switching modules 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. Illustratively, the second switching device 32 may include a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), or a transistor or the like switching device. The second switching device 32 in fig. 3 is shown in a simple drawing of a switch.

The control module 120 may control the conduction of one of the switch modules 111 through one of the turned-on second switch devices 32. For example, the control module 120 may provide an enable signal to a control terminal of a switching module 111 connected to the conductive one of the second switching devices 32 through the conductive one of the second switching devices 32 to control the conductive one of the switching modules 111 connected to the conductive one of the second switching devices 32.

Fig. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of a test system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, according to some embodiments of the present application, the test system 10 may optionally further include a switching module 40, and the control module 120 may be electrically connected to the multi-channel selection circuit 21 and the single-channel selection circuit 22 in parallel through the switching module 40. The switching control module 120 may be in communication with the control terminal of the switching module 111 through the multi-channel selection circuit 21 by the switching module 40, or the switching control module 120 may be in communication with the control terminal of the switching module 111 through the single-channel selection circuit 22.

As shown in fig. 4, in some specific embodiments, the switching module 40 may optionally include a third switching device 43 and a fourth switching device 44. The control module 120 may be electrically connected to the multi-channel selection circuit 21 through the third switching device 43, and the control module 120 may be electrically connected to the single-channel selection circuit 22 through the fourth switching device 44. The third switching device 43 and the fourth switching device 44 may include a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), or a transistor. The third switching device 43 and the fourth switching device 44 in fig. 4 are shown in a simple drawing of a switch.

The fourth switching device 44 may be turned off when the third switching device 43 is turned on. In this manner, the control module 120 may communicate with the control terminal of the switch module 111 through the multi-channel selection circuit 21.

When the fourth switching device 44 is turned on, the third switching device 43 may be turned off. In this manner, the control module 120 may communicate with the control terminal of the switch module 111 through the single channel selection circuit 22.

In this way, by providing the third switching device 43 and the fourth switching device 44, it is possible to flexibly switch between the multi-channel selection circuit 21 and the single-channel selection circuit 22.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, in other embodiments, alternatively, the switching module 40 may not be provided, and the switching between the multi-channel selection circuit 21 and the single-channel selection circuit 22 may be directly implemented by controlling the on-off states of the first switching device 31 and the second switching device 32.

For example, at least part of the first switching devices 31 in the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may be controlled to be turned on, and all of the second switching devices 32 in the single-channel selection circuit 22 may be controlled to be turned off, so that the control module 120 communicates with the control terminal of the switching module 111 through the multi-channel selection circuit 21.

For example, one of the second switching devices 32 in the single-channel selection circuit 22 may be controlled to be turned on, and all the first switching devices 31 in the multi-channel selection circuit 21 may be controlled to be turned off, so that the control module 120 communicates with the control terminal of the switching module 111 through the single-channel selection circuit 22.

Fig. 5 is a schematic circuit diagram of a test system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, according to some embodiments of the present application, the test system 10 may optionally further include a driving module 51, and the driving module 51 may be electrically connected between the control module 120 and the control terminal of the switching module 111. For example, in some examples, the control module 120 may be electrically connected to the control terminal of the switch module 111 through the multi-channel selection circuit 21 and the single-channel selection circuit 22 in parallel, and the driving module 51 in sequence.

In some examples, the voltage, current, and/or power of the control signal output by the control module 120 may be lower, and the control signal of the lower voltage, current, and/or power may not be able to better control the on-off state of the switch module 111. Therefore, by adding the driving module 51, the driving module 51 can be used for amplifying the voltage, the current and/or the power of the control signal output by the control module 120, and then transmitting the control signal after the voltage, the current and/or the power is amplified to the control end of the switch module 111. In this way, the on-off state of the switch module 111 can be well controlled.

In some specific examples, the switch module 111 may include a relay and the control terminal of the switch module 111 may include a coil of the relay. Accordingly, the drive module 51 may include a relay drive module.

As shown in fig. 5, according to some embodiments of the present application, the test system 10 may optionally further include an isolation module 52, and the isolation module 52 may be electrically connected between the control module 120 and the control terminal of the switch module 111. For example, in some examples, one end of isolation module 52 may connect multi-channel selection circuit 21 and single-channel selection circuit 22 in parallel, and the other end of isolation module 52 may connect drive module 51.

In some high voltage test items (such as insulation and voltage withstand test), the voltage across the first end of the switch module 111 and the second end of the switch module 111 may be as high as several kilovolts, so that the addition of the isolation module 52 may ensure electrical safety in view of electrical isolation.

The present application is not limited in the type of isolation module 52, for example, in some specific examples, isolation module 52 may include a photo coupler.

Fig. 6 is a schematic circuit diagram of a test system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, according to some embodiments of the present application, the test system 10 may optionally include a first main line L1 and a second main line L2, and the switch module 111 may include a first switch module 61 and a second switch module 62.
