Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electricity settlement, and in particular to a device for automatically collecting shore power electricity and automatically settling accounts. Background Technology

[0002] When boat owners need to connect to shore power upon reaching their designated berths, personnel must go to the site to supply power and read meters, which greatly reduces efficiency. Due to maritime regulations, some boat owners will stop using the power after a period of time, and staff cannot detect this violation without going to the shore power box on site.

[0003] When boat owners stop using electricity, staff need to go to the site to disconnect the circuit breaker and read the meter. The meter readings need to be converted by the boat owners themselves and submitted to the settlement department. The process is relatively complicated, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a device for automatically collecting and settling shore power consumption data. This eliminates the need for manual meter reading on-site and provides continuous monitoring during shore power usage, with alerts for abnormal interruptions. This significantly reduces human resource costs and improves overall efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a device for automatically collecting and settling shore power consumption, comprising: a PCL controller, a TCP power consumption acquisition module electrically connected to the PCL controller, a switch, a terminal server, a power consumption settlement device, and a database server. The TCP power consumption acquisition module is electrically connected to the power meters on all berthed vessels and is used to collect power consumption data from each vessel's power meter and upload it to the PCL controller. The switch is communicatively connected to the PCL controller, the terminal server, and the power consumption settlement device. The power consumption settlement device is communicatively connected to the database server.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the PCL controller further includes an anomaly warning module, which issues a warning when the power collected by the TCP power acquisition module is abnormal.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the power settlement device is provided with a crystal oscillator module, which provides a time reference for the power settlement device.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the power calculation device is a host computer or a microcontroller.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the terminal server is communicatively connected to multiple mobile terminals, which are mobile phones or iPads.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it eliminates the need for on-site manual meter reading, provides continuous monitoring during shore power use, provides alerts for abnormal interruptions, and allows users to directly read the electricity consumption via their mobile phones when the power is used up, simplifying the intermediate process, significantly reducing human resource costs, and improving overall efficiency.

[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1 This utility model discloses an automatic shore power collection and settlement device, comprising: a PCL controller 1, a TCP power collection module 2 electrically connected to the PCL controller, a switch 3, a terminal server 4, a power settlement device 5, and a database server 6. Each berth is equipped with a power meter 7. The TCP power collection module is electrically connected to the power meter on the berthed vessel. When the vessel connects to the power meter and uses power, the TCP power collection module collects the power data from each vessel's power meter and uploads it to the PCL controller. The switch is communicatively connected to the PCL controller, the terminal server, and the power settlement device. The power settlement device is communicatively connected to the database server. When the power usage ends, the used power can be directly read through the vessel owner's mobile phone, simplifying the intermediate process and significantly reducing human resource costs.

[0015] Specifically, the electricity settlement device is a host computer or a microcontroller. The electricity settlement device is equipped with a crystal oscillator module, which provides a time reference for the electricity settlement device. It can automatically start electricity settlement according to the set time interval, settle electricity fees according to order information, generate electricity consumption statistics tables for each ship and send them to the data server for storage. The database of the data server supports querying and checking accounts at any time.

[0016] Specifically, the terminal server is connected to multiple mobile terminals 8, which are mobile phones or iPads. When personnel need to check the power consumption, they can easily check the power consumption of the corresponding vessel from the mobile terminal, which is convenient and fast.

[0017] Specifically, the PCL controller also includes an anomaly warning module 9, which issues a warning when the power level collected by the TCP power acquisition module is abnormal.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it eliminates the need for on-site manual meter reading, provides continuous monitoring during shore power use, provides alerts for abnormal interruptions, and allows users to directly read the electricity consumption via their mobile phones when the power is used up, simplifying the intermediate process, significantly reducing human resource costs, and improving overall efficiency.
