HBMT4.0 Smart Travel System – Controller & Dashboard PCBA for Smart Luggage

Project Background

Our client, a manufacturer of innovative smart travel products, needed a complete electronic control system for their electric smart luggage. The system required reliable motor control, intuitive user interface, and comprehensive protection features – all in a compact form factor suitable for travel applications.

Key System Components:

  • Motor Controller: 36V 8A±1, 6-tube design, based on Zhongying MCU

  • Dashboard Display: 4-inch screen with speed, battery, and fault indicators, powered by Lingdong Micro MCU

  • Control Interfaces: Throttle, brake, Hall sensor, communication port

  • Mechanical Integration: Telescopic handle control, motor phase output, sensor mounting

Technical Highlights

1. Intelligent Control Features

  • Auto power-on/off with buzzer indication

  • Two-speed operation: forward (0-10km/h) and reverse (0-3km/h) with combined throttle+brake activation

  • Telescopic handle switch for easy extension/retraction

  • Zero-start design for safety

2. Comprehensive Protection System

  • Motor thermal protection (stops at 110°C)

  • Low-voltage protection at 31V (±0.5V)

  • Over-current protection at 8A (±1A)

  • Fault code diagnosis (E0-E9) for quick troubleshooting

3. Battery Monitoring & Display

  • 5-segment battery indicator with ±0.5V accuracy

  • Low-voltage warning (below 35V)

  • Emergency low-voltage shutdown at 31V (E7 fault code)

  • Real-time voltage and range display
