Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle performance test system for testing the performance of an automobile by measuring exhaust gas or the like.

  A conventional vehicle performance test system is a vehicle in which a vehicle mounted on a chassis dynamo device is driven according to a predetermined driving mode by an automatic driving robot, and exhaust gas discharged at that time is collected by a constant volume sampling device. The sample gas is supplied to a gas measuring device equipped with a plurality of gas analyzers having different measurement principles, and each of the components is measured to test the performance of the automobile.

By the way, in this type of vehicle performance test system, it is necessary to warm up and cool down various devices in order to obtain accurate measurement results, and it takes time and effort to make settings including these. Therefore, after the vehicle is placed on the chassis dynamo device, as shown in Patent Document 1, the warm-up time of each device constituting the system is automatically managed and controlled based on a predetermined schedule, so that time and effort are omitted. Some attempts to reduce time have been considered recently.
JP 2002-71527 A

  However, since such a system requires strict measurement, depending on the type of test, the vehicle must be stored in advance in a vehicle storage device called a soak chamber maintained at a predetermined temperature. It may be necessary to transport the vehicle by hand to the chassis dynamometer.

  For this reason, no matter how much automation is performed on the chassis dynamo device as in the past, a great deal of manpower is required for the transportation of the vehicle up to that point, and as a whole, labor saving can be promoted. It's hard to say. In addition, during the test, the vehicle storage device becomes full and the test vehicle cannot be returned, or the vehicle to be taken out for the next test is housed in the back of the vehicle storage device and it takes time to carry it out. Problems can arise.

  In view of this, the present invention aims to save labor by full automation including transportation of vehicles in this type of vehicle performance test system, and to make it possible to perform efficient vehicle performance tests in cooperation with each other. Is.

  That is, the vehicle performance test system according to the present invention includes a vehicle running test apparatus that performs a test by running a vehicle in a simulated manner, a plurality of vehicles, and a carry-in / out port for carrying in and out the vehicle, A vehicle storage device configured to selectively and automatically convey an internal vehicle to a carry-in / out entrance; a conveyance device provided between the vehicle storage device and the travel test device; A scheduling device that receives element data that is data related to a running test schedule and generates schedule data indicating a use schedule of the vehicle running test device, and the vehicle storage device and the vehicle storage device so that a vehicle running test can be performed based on the schedule data A management control device that transmits a command signal to the transport device and causes the vehicle travel test device to carry in and out of the vehicle. And butterflies.

  To improve the usability by allowing the operator to see a list of the usage schedule of the vehicle running test device and incorporating or changing a new usage schedule while viewing it The scheduling device outputs a schedule screen in which the contents of the element data are arranged in the order of scheduled driving test times, and inputs related to addition of new element data, change of existing element data, and deletion on the schedule screen. It is preferable that it can be received.

  Considering the case where a plurality of driving tests are performed on one day, for example, when an abnormality occurs and one driving test must be stopped, it may be desired to carry out subsequent tests all at once. . Conversely, if an abnormality occurs and one running test is extended, the subsequent tests must be carried down all at once. In particular, when the running test includes an exhaust gas test, the test regulations are set very strict, and even if a slight abnormality occurs, the test must be stopped. . In such a case, it is troublesome to change the scheduled test times of the subsequent running tests one by one. In order to save labor and to save input, the scheduling device accepts time data indicating the advance or decrement time of the scheduled test time, and a test indicated by a plurality of element data for the time indicated by the time data. It is preferable that the scheduled time can be changed collectively. In that case, if the scheduled test time indicated by the element data is changed at once for only one day, the usability is improved. Of course, what is to be changed is not limited to all the element data, and may be a part selected by the operator.

  Depending on the driving test, the scheduled time should not be changed. In order to avoid such a change from being made, the content of the element data includes whether or not the scheduled driving test time can be changed. It is desirable to configure so as not to change the scheduled time. Such restrictions on changes and deletions may be set for other contents of each element data. Of course, not all operators can change or delete, but partly by entering a password or personal identifier. Only the operator may be able to change or delete the contents of the element data.

  The scheduled driving test time includes the scheduled start time and the scheduled end time of the driving test. Normally, it is necessary to specify these two times, but when the type of the driving test mode is included in the content of the element data, only one of the scheduled starting time and the ending scheduled time of the driving test is required. And the other can be automatically calculated from the running test mode of the element data, the usability is further improved.

  The devices that make up each device of this system do not need to be in operation at all. If there is a certain amount of standby time during the running test, the device is put into a power saving mode (power-off state or low power operation state) It is desirable. However, in reality, there are devices that can be in the power saving mode during standby time and devices that should not be in the power saving mode, and among devices that may be in the power saving mode, the standby time is more than a certain level. There are things that can be in the labor saving mode only in the case of. In this way, the conditions for the labor saving mode are finely divided depending on the equipment, that the necessity of warming up is determined for each equipment by the regulation of the running test, that the warming up time is different for each equipment, This is due to safety issues or the nature of the device itself. In addition, it is extremely complicated for the operator to manually perform the detailed labor-saving mode setting that differs for each device in this way, and there is a risk of making a mistake.

  Therefore, in order to eliminate such problems and to effectively save energy, the apparatus further includes a labor saving mode data storage unit that stores labor saving mode data indicating the labor saving mode during the standby time of the devices constituting each device. The scheduling device or the management control device is configured to hold a part or all of the devices in a power saving mode indicated by the power saving mode data in a non-operation time zone calculated from the schedule data. It is suitable to leave.

  Here, the labor saving mode data is, for example, required startup time (for example, warm-up time) for each device, shutdown time (for example, cooling down time), presence / absence of labor saving mode, return time from labor saving mode, etc. Is shown.

  Further, the labor saving mode data may be changed by an input from an operator.

  More preferably, when the non-operation time zone calculated from the schedule data is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, a part or all of the devices are configured to be held in the power saving mode indicated by the power saving mode data. Just keep it. Further, the predetermined time may be changed by an input from an operator.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, in this type of vehicle performance test system, it is possible to promote labor saving by full automation including transportation of the vehicle, and each device cooperates to efficiently perform the vehicle performance test. Will be able to.

  The scheduling device 8 is configured using, for example, a computer. As schematically shown in FIG. 2, the CPU 801, the memory 802, the display 803, the input unit 804 (keyboard, mouse, etc.), A communication interface 805 and the like are provided. Then, by cooperating the CPU 801 and its peripheral devices in accordance with a predetermined program stored in the memory 802, element data that is data relating to a running test schedule for each vehicle VH is received as shown in a functional block diagram in FIG. Element data reception unit 81, schedule data generation unit 82 that generates schedule data indicating the scheduled use of the chassis dynamometer 2 based on the received element data, and a display that displays the contents of the schedule data as a schedule screen in a table format The output unit 83, the labor-saving mode data storage unit 84 that stores the labor-saving mode data indicating the labor-saving mode of the devices constituting each of the devices 1 to 8, and transmits the schedule data and the labor-saving mode data to the management control device 9. Functions as the data transmission unit 85 or the like. Of course, the scheduling device 8 may be configured only by hardware using a logic circuit or an analog circuit without using a computer in order to exhibit these functions.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the element data includes the scheduled driving test time, whether or not the scheduled driving test time can be changed, whether or not there is automatic notification when changed, the vehicle identifier indicating the test vehicle VH, and the cell identifier indicating the test cell to be used. A mode of carrying a vehicle into the cell (whether or not automatically), a mode of running test in the cell (whether or not automatically), a mode of carrying out a vehicle from the cell (whether or not automatically) ), The mode of operation, the user, the contact information, etc., at least as contents, and the contents are displayed on the display 803 in the order of scheduled driving test time by the display output unit 83 as shown in FIG. Displayed in table format from above. This table is divided in units of one day. Here, “None” in carrying in the vehicle means that the next test is performed as it is.

  The schedule screen shown in FIG. 5 is divided into, for example, three areas, that is, a table area T1, a schedule edit area T2, and a labor saving setting area T3.

  The schedule table H1 described above is displayed in the table area T1.

  The schedule editing area T2 includes an add button B1, an insert button B2, and a delete button B3. By selecting these buttons B1 to B3 with a mouse or the like, new element data can be added, existing element data can be changed, It can be deleted. Specifically, when the add button B1 is pressed, element data can be newly added at the end of the schedule, that is, input can be made in the last blank line of the table H1. If a desired line is selected and the insert button B2 is pressed, element data can be added after the element data specified in that line. If a desired line is further selected and the delete button B3 is pressed, the line and element data corresponding to the line can be deleted. The schedule editing area T2 includes a reschedule button B4, a time input button B5, and a time display field R1. The number in the time display field R1 changes between plus and minus depending on the number or time of clicking “advance” or “delay” of the time input button B5, and the value is selected by pressing the reschedule button B4 in that state. The scheduled travel time of the element data changes all at once for the time indicated in the time display column R1. It should be noted that element data whose scheduled travel time overlaps element data that cannot be rescheduled due to this change in time is incorporated at the end or the beginning of the day, for example. In addition, except when element data is selected and rescheduled over a plurality of days, in principle, rescheduling is performed for element data included in the day in units of one day.

  The contents of the schedule table H1 changed by the operations of the add, insert, delete button B1 to B3, the reschedule button B4, etc. are confirmed by pressing the OK button B6 provided in this area (in other words, The schedule data generation unit 82 generates new schedule data based on the contents and stores the new schedule data in the schedule data storage unit 86 set in a predetermined area of the memory. When the cancel button B7 is pressed at this time, the operation up to that point is invalidated, and the schedule table H1 before the operation is returned without generating new schedule data.

  In the labor saving setting area T3, the automatic shutdown function that automatically shuts down the entire system and the automatic labor saving function that automatically sets the devices 1 to 8 to the labor saving mode are input. 1, second input fields R2 and R3, and condition input fields for operating these functions, that is, first and second standby time input fields R4 and R5 for operating the functions are provided. . It should be noted that a time exceeding the time input in the first standby time input field R4 cannot be input in the second standby time input field R5. The data input here is received as labor saving condition data by the labor saving condition data receiving unit 88 and stored in the labor saving condition data storage unit 87 set in a predetermined area of the memory.

  The labor saving mode data storage unit 84 stores labor saving mode data in advance. The labor saving mode data is, for example, data indicating a labor saving mode related to the devices constituting each of the devices 1 to 8. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, a necessary start-up time (for example, warm-up time) for each device. ), Falling time (for example, cooling down time), presence / absence of labor saving mode, mode when labor saving mode is present, return time from labor saving mode, remarks, and the like. The reason why the conditions for the labor saving mode are finely divided depending on the equipment is also shown in the remarks column in the table of FIG. 6, but the necessity of warm-up is determined for each equipment by regulation of the running test. This is due to differences in warm-up time for each device, safety problems, or the properties of the device itself.

  Then, the data transmission unit 85 acquires the schedule data from the schedule data storage unit 86, the labor saving mode data from the labor saving mode data storage unit 84, and the labor saving condition data from the labor saving condition data storage unit 87, respectively. The data is transmitted to the management control device 9. Management control

  The management control device 9 is configured using, for example, a computer, like the scheduling device 8, and includes a CPU, memory, display, input means (keyboard, mouse, etc.), communication interface, etc. (these are not shown). It has. The receiving unit 91 receives schedule data, labor saving mode data, and labor saving condition data from the scheduling device 8 by cooperating the CPU and its peripheral devices according to a predetermined program stored in the memory, and It functions as a command signal generation unit 92 that generates a command signal for each of the devices 1 to 8 based on the data, and a transmission unit 95 that transmits the command signal to each of the devices 1 to 8. Of course, in order to exhibit these functions, it may be configured only by hardware using a logic circuit or an analog circuit without using a computer.

  Note that the control device 9 and the scheduling device 8 including the management control device 9 may be a computer in which all or a part of them is physically integrated, or each device further includes It may be composed of a plurality of subdivided computers. Moreover, although each control apparatus and the scheduling apparatus 8 show the same function as a whole, they may be configured as a plurality of physical apparatuses having a functional combination different from the above. In short, it is only necessary that one or a plurality of devices are configured to be communicable by internal or external wiring so that the same function is exhibited as a whole.

  The operation of the vehicle performance test system based on the above configuration will be described below with an example, particularly focusing on the scheduling device 8.

  When operating this vehicle performance test system, a test schedule is set using the scheduling device 8.

  First, when the scheduling device 8 is activated, a scheduling screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display 803, so that the operator uses the add button B1 or the like in an empty row of the schedule table H1. Then, enter each column including the time to use the cell. At this time, when the travel mode is set to “automatic”, if only one of the start time and the end time of the scheduled travel time is input, the other is automatically calculated and displayed. In addition, if necessary information is entered in each input field in the rescheduling and labor saving setting area T3, and finally the OK button is operated, element data is determined from each input information, so schedule data is generated based on the element data. The unit 82 generates schedule data and stores it in the schedule data storage unit 86. Similarly, the labor saving condition data generation unit 87 generates the labor saving condition data from the input information and stores it in the labor saving condition data storage unit 87.

  Then, the data transmission unit 85 acquires schedule data, labor-saving mode data, and labor-saving condition data from the storage units 86, 84, 87 and transmits them to the management control device 9.

  In the management control device 9, the receiving unit 91 receives these data. And based on those data, the command signal generation part 92 produces | generates the command signal with respect to each said apparatus 1-8, and the data transmission part 85 transmits the command signal to each apparatus 1-8. And each apparatus 1-8 operate | moves in response to this command signal. An example of the operation will be described according to a schedule table H1 shown in FIG.

  For example, in the first row of the schedule table H1, there is a description that a running test is performed between 10:00 and 11:00. Here, since the carry-in is set to automatic, a predetermined command signal is transmitted from the management control device 9 to the vehicle storage device 5, the transport device 6, the vehicle installation device 7, etc. before 10:00. Accordingly, the devices 5 to 7 are driven in cooperation with each other to automatically convey the vehicle VH of the vehicle identifier (vehicle No.) C-054 stored in the vehicle storage device 5, and to the travel position in the test chamber 10. Install. Since this test is the first test on this day, the chassis dynamometer 2 needs to be warmed up. For this reason, the management control device 9 sends a predetermined command signal to the chassis dynamometer 2 at a predetermined time before 10:00 to cause warm-up operation in advance.

  Thereafter, the management control device 9 transmits a command signal indicating the travel mode to the automatic driving device 3, controls the driving robot via the robot control device 31, and the vehicle at the scheduled travel time in the commanded travel mode. The VH is simulated on the chassis dynamo.

  The exhaust gas discharged from the vehicle VH traveling in this way is analyzed by the exhaust gas measuring device 4. Data indicating the analysis result is transmitted to the management control device 9 and stored in an exhaust gas data storage unit (not shown) set in a predetermined area of the memory in association with the identifier of the vehicle VH, the running test mode, and the like.

  When the test is completed, a predetermined command signal is transmitted from the management control device 9 to the vehicle storage device 5, the transport device 6, the vehicle installation device 7, etc. The vehicle VH is automatically transported to the vehicle storage device 5.

  In this way, tests are performed sequentially.

  On the other hand, when the interval until the next driving test schedule is open, the management control device 9 refers to the labor saving condition data, and the waiting time between them is entered in the first waiting time input field R4. It is determined whether or not the time is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time. If the time is exceeded, a command signal is sent to each of the devices 1 to 8 to automatically shut down (power off) the entire system. When the system is restored, the startup time for each device in the labor-saving mode data is referred to, and for devices that require time for startup, power is turned on earlier than the scheduled return time. Note that a device whose start-up time is longer than the standby time is not shut down, and only that device is kept as it is or in a low power mode. Of course, if there is at least one device whose startup time is longer than the first predetermined time when R4 is input (when the first predetermined time is set), the input cannot be made or a warning or the like is given. It is also possible to prompt the user to input again so that there is no device that requires a startup time longer than the standby time.

  Further, as a result of referring to the labor saving condition data, when the standby time is less than the first predetermined time and is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time input in the second standby time input field R5, A command signal is sent to the devices constituting each of the devices 1 to 8 which are set to “with labor saving mode”, and the devices are set to the labor saving mode of the mode defined in the labor saving mode data. Hold. For example, the power is OFF for test room lighting, and the low power mode is for CVS heating control panel. Even in a device set to “with labor saving mode”, if the return time from the labor saving mode is longer than the standby time, the apparatus does not enter the labor saving mode and maintains the state as it is. Of course, when R5 is input (when the second predetermined time is set), if there is even one device that has a longer recovery time from the power saving mode than the second predetermined time, the input cannot be made, Alternatively, a warning or the like may be displayed to prompt re-input so that no device has a longer recovery time from the labor saving mode than the standby time.

  At the start of the next running test, the management control device 9 refers to the return time from the power saving mode in the labor saving mode data, and for the equipment that requires the return time, the return is made from the scheduled start time of the next running test. Turn on the power as soon as possible.

  Therefore, according to the vehicle performance test system according to the present embodiment configured as described above, from the vehicle loading / unloading to the running test and the exhaust gas analysis can be fully automated according to the schedule data, significant labor saving in this type of system can be achieved. Also, as in the past, the vehicle storage device is full and there is no storage space for the vehicle after the driving test, or a trouble has occurred in a certain vehicle driving test, resulting in confusion in the setup of the subsequent vehicle driving test. Can be avoided in advance. Furthermore, with regard to labor saving of the devices constituting each device, it is possible to reliably put each device into the power saving mode at an appropriate time with only a very simple setting, which has been conventionally complicated and easy to operate. Such an effect becomes more prominent in a large-scale vehicle performance test system having a plurality of cells.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the vehicle running test apparatus is not limited to a chassis dynamometer, and may be a drum tester or the like. The mode of the schedule screen is not limited to the illustrated example. Further, the scheduling device described above may be applied to a vehicle performance test system that does not have a vehicle storage device or a transport device, and in that case, at least the devices can cooperate to perform an efficient vehicle performance test. The desired task can be achieved. In addition, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.
