[0029] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 The energy-saving controller based on intelligent Internet of Things of this embodiment includes: a device housing 1, a buzzer is arranged in the device housing 1, a connection socket 3, a connection plug 4, an infrared human body sensor 5, a millimeter wave radar 6, a physical button 7, an infrared controller 8 and a trigger-type induction switch 22 are respectively arranged in the device housing 1, the connection socket 3, the connection plug 4, the infrared human body sensor 5, the millimeter wave radar 6, the physical button 7 and the infrared controller 8 are partially extended outside the device housing 1, the connection socket 3 and the connection plug 4 are both provided with a conductive frame 9 electrically connected thereto, an electrical opening and closing mechanism is arranged in the device housing 1, and a plurality of fixing frames for carrying components such as the connection socket 3, the connection plug 4, and the motor 11 are arranged in the device housing 1;

[0031] The electrical opening and closing mechanism includes an insulating sleeve 14 which is rotatable and has a self-rotation and reset function and is arranged in the equipment housing 1. A guide piece 16 in contact with two conductive frames 9 is arranged on the insulating sleeve 14. A convex strip 17 is arranged on one end side of the insulating sleeve 14. A rotating rod 18 rotatably connected to the insulating sleeve 14 is arranged in the insulating sleeve 14. A motor 11 for driving the rotating rod 18 and the insulating sleeve 14 is arranged in the equipment housing 1. Both ends of the rotating rod 18 extend outside the insulating sleeve 14 and are respectively provided with a lever 20 for moving the convex strip 17 and a trigger lever 21 for triggering a trigger-type induction switch 22.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, the connection socket 3 is used to insert the air conditioner plug, the connection plug 4 is used to insert the power socket, the infrared human body sensor 5 and the millimeter wave radar 6 can cooperate to sense the human body. The two constitute a human body presence sensor, which is used to comprehensively judge whether there is someone in the house based on the movement of the human body and the specific frequency infrared rays emitted between 35-40 degrees. Press and hold the physical button 7 for three seconds, and the device will make intermittent dripping sounds through the buzzer. Press the front of the device through the air conditioner remote control for no less than three times. The product automatically learns the infrared code of the air conditioner. After the learning is completed, two dripping sounds with a length of five seconds will appear, with an interval of five seconds, that is, the matching and configuration are completed. After the configuration is completed, the device will be in working state. Press and hold the physical button 7 for three seconds again, and the device will make intermittent dripping sounds, which will automatically end after ten seconds, and automatically clear the learned infrared code, and lose the control function.

[0033] One side of the device housing 1 is in an open state, and a detachable shell cover 2 is provided at the opening. The back side of the device housing 1 and the shell cover 2 are respectively provided with perforations of different shapes from which a connection socket 3, a connection plug 4, an infrared human body sensor 5, a millimeter wave radar 6, a physical button 7 and an infrared controller 8 extend.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the perforations allow the connection socket 3, the connection plug 4, the infrared human body sensor 5, the millimeter wave radar 6, the physical button 7 and the infrared controller 8 to extend outside the device housing 1, thereby ensuring that they will not be blocked by the device housing 1 and affect their use.

[0035] The infrared human body sensor 5 , the millimeter wave radar 6 , the physical button 7 , the infrared controller 8 , the trigger-type induction switch 22 and the motor 11 are all electrically connected to the connection plug 4 .

[0036] Through the above technical solution, when the connecting plug 4 is inserted into the power socket, it can continuously supply power to components such as the infrared human body sensor 5 and the millimeter wave radar 6 to meet their normal power needs.

[0037] Two support plates 13 are arranged on the inner wall of one side of the device housing 1 . The insulating sleeve 14 passes through the two support plates 13 and is rotatably connected to the two support plates 13 . A torsion spring 19 is arranged between the insulating sleeve 14 and one of the support plates 13 .

[0038] Through the above technical solution, the torsion spring 19 serves as a reset mechanism for the insulating sleeve 14 and the guide piece 16, which enables the insulating sleeve 14 to automatically reset after losing the limitation of the lever 20, so that the guide piece 16 can contact the two conductive frames 9, and at the same time, the guide piece 16 can always be close to the two conductive frames 9.

[0039] A worm 12 is disposed on the output shaft of the motor 11 , a worm wheel 15 meshing with the worm 12 is disposed at one end of the rotating rod 18 , and a shifting rod 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm wheel 15 .

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the worm 12 and the worm wheel 15 serve as transmission parts for the motor 11 to drive the rotating rod 18. They can not only realize transmission, but also have the characteristics of self-locking. When the worm 12 stops rotating, the worm wheel 15 will not rotate at will, so that the lever 20 can remain in a locked state when limiting the insulating sleeve 14 through the convex strip 17, thereby preventing the insulating sleeve 14 from self-rotating and resetting under the action of the torsion spring 19.

[0041] The angle between the lever 20 and the convex strip 17 is 90 degrees, and the angle between the trigger lever 21 and the trigger-type induction switch 22 is 45 degrees.

[0042] Through the above technical solution, when the rotating rod 18 rotates forward, the trigger rod 21 can first trigger the trigger induction switch 22 to turn off the air conditioner and then separate the guide plate 16 from the conductive frame 9 to complete power off. When the rotating rod 18 rotates reversely, the guide plate 16 will first contact the conductive frame 9 to complete power on, and then trigger the trigger induction switch 22 to turn on the air conditioner, thereby realizing the air conditioner start-up and closing sequence of first turning off and then turning off the power, and first turning on and then turning on.

[0043] A plurality of strip-shaped heat dissipation holes 23 are provided on both sides of the device housing 1 , and dustproof nets 24 corresponding to the heat dissipation holes 23 are pasted on the inner walls of both sides of the device housing 1 .

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the heat dissipation effect of the device can be improved, and dust can be prevented from entering the interior of the device.

[0045] A convex ring 25 is provided on the back of the device housing 1 , and an annular sponge pad 26 is adhered to the convex ring 25 .

[0046] Through the above technical solution, since the power socket protrudes from the wall by a certain distance, in this case, it is not stable enough to directly insert the device into the power socket. When the convex ring 25 covers the power socket and rests against the wall, the entire device is more stable, and the annular sponge pad 26 can prevent the convex ring 25 from causing scratches on the wall surface.

[0047] The implementation principle of an energy-saving controller based on intelligent IoT in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0048] Step 1: Before use, plug the connection plug 4 on the device into the wall to the power socket. During this process, the annular sponge pad 26 on the convex ring 25 touches the wall. Then plug the air conditioner plug into the connection socket 3 of the device. This device works stand-alone and does not need to be connected to the network. Press and hold the physical button 7 for three seconds to turn it on.

[0049] The second step: when in use, the millimeter wave radar 6 and the infrared human body sensor 5 are used together to form a human presence sensor, which is used to comprehensively judge whether there is anyone in the house based on the movement of the human body and the infrared rays of a specific frequency emitted between 35-40 degrees. If there is no one in the room within 10 minutes, the motor 11 is started, and the motor 11 drives the worm gear 15, the rotating rod 18, the lever 20 and the trigger rod 21 to rotate through the worm 12. When the rotating rod 18 and other structures rotate 45 degrees, the trigger rod 21 first triggers the trigger induction switch 22, and then the infrared controller 8 transmits a shutdown infrared signal to the air conditioner, which can be reflected through the indoor solid wall to control the air conditioner to turn off. Then, when the rotating rod 18 and other structures rotate 90 degrees, the lever 20 contacts the convex strip 17 and pushes the convex strip 17, so that the convex strip 17 drives the insulating sleeve 14 and the guide piece 16 to rotate. At this time, the guide piece 16 is separated from the conductive frame 9 on the connecting socket 3 and the connecting plug 4, so as to complete the power off of the air conditioner after the air conditioner is turned off, thereby avoiding continuous power consumption in the standby state of the air conditioner;

[0050] The third step: when the millimeter wave radar 6 and the infrared human body sensor 5 detect human activity, the motor 11 drives the worm wheel 15, the rotating rod 18 and other mechanisms to reverse through the worm 12. At this time, the insulating sleeve 14 and the guide piece 16 lose the restriction of the lever 20 and begin to reverse and reset under the action of the torsion spring 19. When the guide piece 16 contacts the two conductive frames 9, the electrical connection between the air conditioner, the connecting socket 3, the connecting plug 4 and the power socket is realized again. As the worm wheel 15, the rotating rod 18 and other mechanisms reverse 90 degrees, the trigger rod 21 triggers the trigger sensor switch 22 again when resetting, thereby controlling the infrared controller 8 to transmit an infrared signal to the air conditioner to automatically turn on the air conditioner.

[0051] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
