[0042] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications, including: a housing 110; a support column 120, one end of which is connected to the housing 110; a solar panel 130, which is connected to the top of the housing 110 via the support column 120; an insulation layer 150, which is disposed on an anti-static and radiation layer 140; and an IoT data collector 160, which is disposed inside the housing 110.

[0044] The IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications provided in this application includes a housing 110, a support column 120, a solar panel 130, an anti-static and radiation layer 140, a thermal insulation layer 150, and an IoT data acquisition device 160. During use, the IoT data acquisition device 160 performs basic processing of the acquired terminal device data, including tag management. The key focus is on edge computing to clean the acquired data, extracting effective feature parameters for transmission, thereby minimizing the power consumption of the transmitting unit. The solar panel 130 provides power to the IoT data acquisition device 160. The anti-static and radiation layer 140 and the thermal insulation layer 150 protect the IoT data acquisition device 160, enabling it to operate at a reasonable temperature and reducing or avoiding the impact of dry environments, ultraviolet radiation, and other harmful substances on the acquisition results, thus ensuring the reliability of the acquired results.

[0045] The IoT data acquisition device provided in this application, designed for applications in high-altitude and cold regions, improves the secure and reliable transmission of data in complex climatic environments while ensuring stable service life. Furthermore, it employs a self-powered system and requires no electrical data connection, making installation convenient. This device fundamentally solves the problems of difficulty in real-time, long-term online monitoring and easy failure of data security and reliability in complex climatic environments at high altitudes and cold regions.

[0046] The IoT data acquisition device provided in this application for high-altitude and cold-weather applications adopts a radiation-proof and temperature-resistant structural design, and combines new IoT technologies. This design improves the secure and reliable transmission of data in complex climatic environments at high altitudes and cold weather, while ensuring a stable service life. Furthermore, the self-powered system and lack of electrical data connection make installation more convenient. This provides technical support for long-term operation and maintenance, as well as grid-based and information-based management.

[0047] Understandably, the solar panel 130 is a key component in converting solar energy into heat energy. To effectively collect sunlight in high-altitude and cold regions, and to ensure durability, it utilizes high-efficiency, technologically mature monocrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic panels with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 15%, reaching up to 23% in some cases, and a typical lifespan of 15 years.

[0048] In some examples, considering the intense sunlight and various rays in high-altitude and cold regions, coupled with dry air that easily generates static electricity, these factors can interfere with data transmission of data acquisition equipment and increase the risk of equipment damage, posing a severe challenge to its service life. Therefore, an antistatic acrylic sheet made of a material with enhanced antistatic properties through coating technology is used. Simultaneously, a layer of zinc oxide is coated on the surface of the antistatic acrylic sheet. This material has excellent electrical properties and radiation protection, effectively preventing damage from ultraviolet rays and radiation, while also inhibiting microbial growth and preventing corrosion, thereby greatly extending the service life of IoT data acquisition devices deployed in high-altitude and cold regions. In other words, the antistatic and radiation layer 140 includes the acrylic sheet, the antistatic coating on the acrylic sheet, and the zinc oxide layer, which not only prevents static electricity but also effectively protects against ultraviolet rays and radiation.

[0049] In some examples, considering the large temperature difference between day and night in high-altitude and cold regions, in order to ensure that the battery can work effectively for a long time, a layer of thermal insulation foam is pasted on the plexiglass plate of the anti-static and radiation layer. The thermal insulation foam materials include, but are not limited to, rubber and plastic insulation cotton, polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, glass wool, rock wool, calcium silicate board, etc.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes: a solar control module 170, which is installed inside the housing 110 and connected to the solar panel 130, for acquiring the operating status of the solar panel 130 and controlling the discharge of the solar panel 130.

[0051] In this technical solution, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications also includes a solar control module 170. The solar control module 170 can control the working status of the solar panel 130, making the IoT data acquisition device more suitable for applications in high-altitude and cold-weather regions.

[0052] In some examples, the solar control module 170 can employ a high-speed microprocessor and a high-precision A / D converter to quickly and in real-time monitor the current operating status of the photovoltaic system, thereby enabling reasonable, reliable, and accurate control of the solar power supply system. Furthermore, the controller's charging and discharging control is fully adjustable, and it can monitor battery voltage, load voltage, charging current, and load current in real time. This makes it particularly suitable for remote areas with high altitudes and cold climates.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes: a battery module 180, which is disposed inside the housing 110 and connected to the IoT data acquisition unit 160 and the solar panel 130; a solar control module 170, which is also used to control the load voltage, charging current and load current of the solar panel 130 charging and discharging the battery module 180; and a power management module 190, which is connected to the battery module 180.

[0054] In this technical solution, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications also includes a battery module 180 and a power management module 190, which facilitate power supply to the IoT data acquisition unit 160.

[0055] In some examples, the battery module 180 provides a continuous and stable power supply to the IoT data acquisition unit 160. Considering factors such as actual climate and temperature conditions, a long-life, low-temperature resistant, high-temperature resistant, and environmentally friendly solar-powered lead-crystal batteries can be used. The power management module 190 provides the power module of the IoT data acquisition unit 160 with the operating voltage for the data processing and analysis modules, and features voltage switching and power-off protection.

[0056] In one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes: a thin-film resistor, which is attached to the inner wall of the housing 110, and an IoT data acquisition device 160 is disposed on the thin-film resistor; and a processor, which is connected to the power management module 190 and the IoT data acquisition device 160, and is used to control the power management module 190 to supply power to the thin-film resistor based on the IoT data acquisition device 160.

[0057] In this technical solution, further consideration is given to the potentially low ambient temperature when the IoT data acquisition device is used in high-altitude and cold regions. Therefore, a thin-film resistor can be installed on the inner wall of the housing 110. Simultaneously, the processor controls the power management module 190, enabling the battery module 180 to supply power to the thin-film resistor. This allows the thin-film resistor to generate heat, enabling the IoT data acquisition device 160 to operate under suitable temperature conditions and ensuring reliable data acquisition. By selecting the appropriate thin-film resistor, response efficiency can be improved, and better heat dissipation can be provided to the IoT data acquisition device 160.

[0058] In one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes a lightning protection module 200, which is connected to the housing 110. This configuration makes the IoT data acquisition device more reliable in operation.

[0059] In some examples, the surge protection module 200 can be grounded.

[0060] In one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes a mounting rod 210, which is connected to one end of the housing 110 opposite to the housing 110. This configuration makes the IoT data acquisition device more reliably secured.

[0061] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting rod 210 includes: a rod body 211 connected to one end of the housing 110 away from the housing 110; a transition portion 212 connected to the rod body 211, the transition portion 212 being conical in shape; and a plug-in portion 213 connected to the transition portion 212 for plugging into the ground; wherein the total surface area of ​​the plug-in portion 213 is inversely proportional to the porosity of the geological parameters at the assembly location.

[0062] This technical solution further provides a design for the mounting rod 210, which includes a rod body 211, a transition portion 212, and a connector 213. The connector 213 can be inserted into the ground. Combined with the transition portion 212, this reduces the probability of the IoT data acquisition device tipping over due to extreme environments. Since the total surface area of ​​the connector 213 is inversely proportional to the porosity of the geological parameters at the assembly location, the connector 213 can be correlated with geological parameters, enabling the IoT data acquisition device to be used in different geological environments and ensuring the reliability of the IoT data acquisition device's operation.

[0063] In one feasible implementation, the antistatic and radiation layer 140 includes: multiple hierarchical structures, the material for preparing each hierarchical structure may include nickel-based conductive paint, the multiple hierarchical structures are coated in layers, and the thickness of each hierarchical structure is less than or equal to 0.3 mm.

[0064] In this technical solution, the structure of the antistatic and radiation layer 140 is further provided. The antistatic and radiation layer 140 may include multiple layer structures. Each layer structure may be made of nickel-based conductive paint. Based on this, each layer structure can form a continuous conductive layer, thereby playing the role of antistatic and radiation protection. Through the preparation process of multiple layer structures combined with layer coating, the continuity of the antistatic and radiation layer 140 can be guaranteed.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the IoT data acquisition device for high-altitude and cold-weather applications further includes: at least two clamping members 220, the clamping members 220 being connected to the housing 110, the housing 110 being connected to the support column 120 via the at least two clamping members 220, and the clamping members being used to be fitted onto the support column 120.

[0066] In this technical solution, a connection method between the housing 110 and the support column 120 is further provided. A fastening member 220 can be provided on the back of the housing 110, and then the fastening member 220 is sleeved on the support column 120. The housing 110 pre-tightens the IoT data acquisition box and the pole through the retractable metal fastening member 220 at the top; the housing 110 and the support column 120 are further reinforced by the elastic metal fastening member 220 at the bottom; the support column 120 can be inserted into the soil for fixation; thus, it can ensure that the IoT data acquisition device can work normally for a long time in complex environments with high altitude and cold conditions.

[0067] In one feasible implementation, the diameter of the support column 120 gradually increases from top to bottom along the height direction of the support column 120. With this configuration, under the gravity of the housing 110, the fastener 220 can be securely fitted onto the support column 120, reducing the probability of the housing 110 loosening and falling off.
