Automobile wiper integrated control system based on LabVIEW

Introduction

This article refers to the address: http://

The wiper is an important part of the car, which ensures that the car can drive safely in rainy days, and its performance directly affects the car's driving conditions. In order to ensure the reliability of the wiper, the wiper factory test requirements must reach 1.5 million wipe cycles. Nowadays, the control system constructed by PLC plus touch screen is popular, but its shortcoming is that the data processing function is weak, and its function is far less than LabVIEW. LabVIEW can collect, process and analyze data and express it in image form. Data storage is convenient.

Software interface design

The test software is designed according to our company's corporate standards, the interface is clear and beautiful. See picture (a). The operation interface is divided into a main interface, a parameter setting interface, a test interface, a waterway control interface, an angle test interface, and a data storage interface. The operation mode is divided into manual and automatic. The upper part of the test interface displays information. The parameter setting interface is in another interface, which can set the number of wiping times, cycle time, etc. The lower part of the test interface is the displayed wiping frequency, motor current curve and value. , motor temperature, running time, cycle time and the status of each solenoid valve; the waterway control interface uses the simulated pipeline way to design the waterway control map, each pipeline is drawn with a custom Boolean control, the waterway control mode is clear at a glance; The angle test interface can display 10 sets of recently measured angle values.

Wiper angle measurement

The data acquisition card collects the number of pulses sent by the rotary encoder, and then uses LabVIEW to convert the angle value. For example, if the encoder sends 3600 pulses in one turn, the angle value when receiving n pulses is:

Theta=πn/1800(rad)=n/10(°)

The sampling time is set according to the actual situation, which is generally specified as follows:

f(t) ≥ scraping frequency / 120 (s)

LabVIEW calculates the wiper angle based on the maximum number of pulses received during the data acquisition card sampling time.

Wiper frequency measurement

The data acquisition card collects the +5V voltage signal of the proximity switch, and the counter +1 records the time at the moment with LabVIEW, and then continues to collect the next signal, and then subtracts the time of the last acquisition from the time of the next acquisition. The time interval t ms, the scraping frequency is calculated as follows:

f=60000/t (times/min)

The sampling time is generally set to:

T≤ f(t)≤ 2t

The wiper frequency changes in real time during actual measurements due to load changes in the wiper system.

Waterway control

The waterway control is mainly realized by the on/off of the solenoid valve by LabVIEW. See Figure (2) When wet scraping is required, the solenoid valve is opened and water is sprayed onto the windshield through the pipeline; when dry scraping is required, the solenoid valve is closed and the return valve is opened; when the liquid level sensor has a signal When the water pump is turned on again, the liquid level sensor generates a signal again; the control of the water pump is controlled by the relay. When the output of the data acquisition card outputs a signal, the relay is turned on, thus turning on the pump. Each solenoid valve is indirectly controlled by a relay. The automatic output mode of the output terminal of the data acquisition card directly controls the automatic operation of the relay according to the set dry and wet scraping time. The total number of scraping is the N end of the For Loop. When the set time is reached, a signal is output to the relay to control the on and off of the corresponding solenoid valve.

Wiper motor monitoring

The wiper motor monitoring includes two parameters: motor current and case temperature.

Motor current measurement

The current is sent to the data acquisition card through the current transducer, so that the current is displayed on the screen in the form of a curve through LabVIEW, so that the current is monitored in real time, and if the current exceeds the set value, the system stops running.

The motor temperature is measured by a thermocouple. The electrical signal generated by the thermocouple enters LabVIEW through the data acquisition card. After conversion, the actual temperature is generated. When the motor temperature exceeds the upper limit of the temperature setting, the system stops running.

data processing

Use LabVIEW's powerful data processing capabilities to process data and generate report formats. LabVIEW automatically saves data to a specified path at regular intervals and generates reports in word format. This can be done with the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit.

The information contained in the report includes time, wiper angle, wiper frequency, motor temperature, wiper status, and number of wipes.

in conclusion

The test system can meet the requirements of the function and durability of the wiper in the major automobile OEMs at home and abroad. Open structure, easy to maintain; high sensitivity, voltage accuracy 0.1v, current accuracy 0.1A, angle 0.1°; due to the use of industrial computer, good environmental performance, and cost-effective; test system interface designed with virtual instrument technology More beautiful, more convenient to operate.

WHAT IS AN Air Purifier?

Breathing clean air is very important.

It is scientifically proven that the air in our homes contains allergens(pollen ,mites ,moulds ,etc ).

noxious substance, bacteria viruses and suspended smells.

We have the solution for it!


Esp Air Purifier washable Air Cleaner

12 hour settings,allows you to program the unit to automatically shut off for convenience and energy efficiency

Permanent,washable filter,reduces dust,allergens and impurities in the air for a fresh,clean living environment.                                         

A clean filter indicator alerts you when the filter needs to be cleaned

Negative ion

Golbal Patent Technology                      

Our new technology is still ESP technology,but with non-metallic electrodes,it uses the principle of higher resitivity alloy negative electrode junction plastic ionized air.The higher resistivity is relatively high,the distance between the poles can do much smaller without causing breakdown;with the same volume,it can provide considerable absorption area to increase CADR.
