Embodiment I

[0055] The present invention uses a special smart plug and socket, and the identification data (identification, ID) of the electrical appliance to which the smart plug belongs can be detected through an electronic circuit with a specific configuration generated when the plug and socket are assembled. The term "smart plug / socket" is used here to distinguish it from the conventional "normal plug / socket", wherein the "smart plug / socket" has substantially the same appearance as the "normal plug / socket", but Structures are distinct from each other. Various embodiments of the smart plug and the socket of the present invention will be described below with reference to figures. For the convenience of explanation, the smart plugs and sockets in the icons are all of the type A (NEMA 1-15 specifications) or B (NEMA 5-15 specifications) plugs and sockets used in Taiwan, China as an example. In addition, the sockets are only used to connect A group of sockets to a single electrical applia...

Embodiment II

[0062] Figure 2A It is a perspective view of a smart plug according to an embodiment of the present invention (a B-type plug is used here); Figure 2B For the same example with Figure 2A A perspective view of a smart socket matching a smart plug; and Figure 2C for Figure 2A smart plugs with Figure 2B The combined schematic diagram of the smart socket. In this embodiment, the smart plug 210 also includes a set of power pins 212, a cylindrical power ground pin 216 and a set of feedback pins 214, but the set of feedback pins 214 is not as complicated as the previous embodiment. It is only composed of two separate metal layers which are separated by the insulating layer 215 and the power ground pin 216 ground pin. The smart socket 220 also has a set of power jacks 222, a set of socket pins 224, a grounding socket pin 234, a set of detection pins 226, a receiving circuit 232, an identification module 228 and a network module 230 . Same as the previous embodiments, when ...

Abstract

The invention discloses smart plugs, smart sockets and smart adaptors. The smart socket has a set of power sockets, configured for a set of power pins of a smart plug to plug into, a driving pin and a set of detection pins, configured for forming a circuit with a set of feedback pins of a smart plug when the set of power pins is plugged into the power sockets, and an identification code module, configured for obtaining an identification code of an electric appliance, from the circuit, to which the smart plug belongs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to intelligent power monitoring technology. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, in order to monitor the electricity, the overall electricity consumption situation of the premises must be known through the electric meter installed in the household, office, factory or specific area. [0003] In order to accurately monitor electricity, electricity meters can also be installed on all electrical appliances to measure the real-time power consumption data of each appliance. However, the cost of this approach is too high for ordinary people, and it is impractical to adopt this approach in pursuit of energy saving. In order to perform relatively accurate power monitoring, some known technologies also adopt a compromise method, which is to install an ammeter on each socket to measure the total power consumption of all electrical appliances connected to the socket. However, like an electric meter installed in a fixed area, th...
