[0038] The term "multiple" as used herein refers to two or more than two. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist.

[0039] Figure 1 is a first structural schematic diagram of a smart electric energy meter provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the smart electric energy meter includes: a signal feedback module 110 , a conversion module 120 , a signal sampling module 130 , a metering monitoring module 140 and a processor 150 .

[0040] The signal feedback module 110 is connected to the input end of the conversion module 120, and the signal feedback module 110 inputs a first electrical signal to the conversion module 120; the input of the signal sampling module 130 is connected to the output end of the conversion module 120, and the signal sampling module 130 collects a second electrical signal output by the conversion module 120, and transmits the second electrical signal to the metering monitoring module 140; the metering monitoring module 140 is connected to the output end of the signal feedback module 110 and the output end of the signal sampling module 130, and is used to obtain the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, obtain the target output electrical signal according to the first electrical signal, and compare and process the second electrical signal and the target output electrical signal, generate an error check parameter, and transmit the error check parameter to the processor 150, the target output electrical signal is a theoretical output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal; the processor 150 is connected to the metering monitoring module 140, and is used to detect a metering error inaccuracy fault according to the comparison result of the error check parameter and the standard check parameter.

[0041] The smart electric energy meter includes a voltage channel and a current channel. The metering error inaccuracy fault of the smart electric energy meter is determined by detecting the metering error of the voltage channel and the metering error of the current channel of the smart electric energy meter.

[0042] In an embodiment, according to the type of signal detection, there may be one or more signal feedback modules 110, conversion modules 120 and signal sampling modules 130. For example, when only the metering error of the voltage channel or the current channel is detected, there may be only one signal feedback module 110, one conversion module 120 or one signal sampling module 130. When detecting the metering error of the voltage channel and the current channel, two or more signal feedback modules 110, conversion modules 120 and signal sampling modules 130 may be included to detect the voltage channel and the current channel respectively. Of course, when only the metering error of the voltage channel or the current channel is detected, multiple signal feedback modules 110, conversion modules 120 and signal sampling modules 130 may also be included to perform multiple measurements on the detected voltage channel or the current channel respectively.

[0043] The signal feedback module 110 is used to input a test electrical signal, i.e., a first electrical signal, to the conversion module 120. The first electrical signal includes a voltage signal and a current signal. In an embodiment, the conversion module 120 can also be connected to the mains power grid to convert the electrical signal input from the mains power grid. The second electrical signal includes an actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal after being processed by the conversion module 120 and / or an actual output electrical signal corresponding to the electrical signal input from the mains power grid after being processed by the conversion module. For example, when the smart electric energy meter is connected to the mains power grid for electric energy metering, the second electrical signal is a mixed electrical signal of the first electrical signal and the electrical signal input from the mains power grid after being processed by the conversion module. If the smart electric energy meter is not connected to the mains power grid for error diagnosis, the second electrical signal at this time is the actual output electrical signal of the first electrical signal after being processed by the conversion module.

[0044] The conversion module 120 is used to divide the voltage or current of the first electrical signal or the electrical signal input from the mains power grid. Depending on the type of the input electrical signal, the conversion module 120 can be a voltage transformer, a current transformer, a resistor network, a manganese copper resistor, etc.

[0045] The signal sampling module 130 is used to sample the electrical signal processed by the conversion module 120. The measurement monitoring module 140 compares the electrical signal collected by the signal sampling module 130 with the target output electrical signal to obtain an error check parameter, wherein the error check parameter reflects the attenuation condition of the target output electrical signal.

[0046] It should be noted that when the second electrical signal is a mixed electrical signal of the first electrical signal and the electrical signal input from the mains power grid after being processed by the conversion module, the first electrical signal is separated from the second electrical signal and processed by the conversion module to be the actual output electrical signal. In an embodiment, the signal frequency of the first electrical signal is different from the signal frequency of the electrical signal input from the mains power grid, thereby achieving separation of the first electrical signal from the mixed electrical signal and processing the actual output electrical signal of the first electrical signal after being processed by the conversion module. Optionally, an electrical signal of a set frequency can be extracted based on the difference in signal frequency between the electrical signal at the mains power grid input end and the first electrical signal in the mixed electrical signal, wherein the set frequency is the same as the signal frequency of the first electrical signal.

[0047] The metering monitoring module in the embodiment includes a chip with metering and processing functions and its peripheral circuits, such as metering chips such as RN8209C, ADE9153A, and ADE7752A. The error check parameter is obtained based on the actual output electrical signal and the target output electrical signal processed by the conversion module corresponding to the first electrical signal. In an embodiment, the error check parameter = the actual output electrical signal / target output electrical signal processed by the conversion module corresponding to the first electrical signal. For example, in the voltage channel, the first electrical signal is 5V, the actual output electrical signal processed by the conversion module corresponding to the first electrical signal is 0.8V, and the target output electrical signal is 1V. At this time, the error check parameter is 0.8 / 1=80%. Similarly, in the current channel, the first electrical signal is 5A, the actual output electrical signal processed by the conversion module corresponding to the first electrical signal is 0.8A, and the target output electrical signal is 0.8A. At this time, the error check parameter is 0.8 / 0.8=100%.

[0048] The standard calibration parameter refers to the factory original parameter. According to the comparison result of the error calibration parameter and the standard calibration parameter, the error value is obtained. Therefore, the error value in this embodiment is the error value corresponding to the factory original parameter. In the embodiment, the error value is equal to the difference between the error calibration parameter and the standard calibration parameter. Optionally, the acquisition of the error value can be achieved by a subtractor, or by other logic circuits that realize subtraction or comparison functions, or by a computer program.

[0049] According to the example of the above embodiment, the error check parameter of the voltage channel is 80%, and the standard check parameter of the voltage channel is 100%. At this time, the error value of the voltage channel is 80%-100%=-20%, the error check parameter of the current channel is 100%, and the standard check parameter of the current channel is 100%. At this time, the error value of the current channel is 100%-100%=0. At this time, according to the detection result of the error value, it can be known that the voltage channel of the smart electric energy meter has a measurement error inaccuracy, and its error value is -20%, while there is no measurement error inaccuracy in the current channel.

[0050] The smart energy meter provided in this embodiment inputs a first electrical signal to a conversion module through a signal feedback module, collects a second electrical signal output by the conversion module, processes the second electrical signal and a target output electrical signal to generate an error check parameter, and compares the error check parameter with a standard check parameter to detect a metering error inaccuracy fault, so as to achieve real-time monitoring and self-diagnosis of the metering error while the smart energy meter measures city power, without affecting the function and appearance structure of the existing smart energy meter, saving detection costs, and facilitating and simplifying installation.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the conversion module 120 includes a voltage conversion unit 121 , the signal feedback module 110 includes a voltage feedback unit 111 , and the signal sampling module 130 includes a voltage sampling unit 131 .

[0052] The voltage feedback unit 111 is connected to the input end of the voltage conversion unit 121, and the voltage feedback unit 111 inputs a first voltage signal of a first set frequency to the voltage conversion unit 121; the input end of the voltage sampling unit 131 is connected to the output end of the voltage conversion unit 121, and the voltage signal sampling unit 131 collects a second voltage signal output by the voltage conversion unit 121, and outputs the second voltage signal to the metering monitoring module 140.

[0053] The voltage conversion unit 121 is used to perform voltage division processing on the input voltage signal, and convert the strong voltage signal into a weak voltage signal to facilitate sampling by the voltage sampling unit 131. In the embodiment, the strong voltage signal includes a mains voltage signal, a first voltage signal, or a mixed signal of the mains voltage signal and the first voltage signal. The voltage feedback unit 111 is used to inject a voltage test signal, i.e., a first voltage signal, into the voltage conversion unit 121 on the voltage channel of the smart electric energy meter. The second voltage signal includes an actual output voltage signal and / or a mains voltage signal corresponding to the first voltage signal. Specifically, in one embodiment, the mains power grid and the voltage feedback unit simultaneously input voltage signals to the voltage conversion unit, at which time, the second voltage signal output by the voltage conversion unit 121 is a mixed voltage signal of the actual output voltage signal corresponding to the mains voltage signal and the first voltage signal. In one embodiment, only the voltage feedback unit 111 inputs a voltage signal to the voltage conversion unit 121, at which time the second voltage signal output by the voltage conversion is the actual output voltage signal corresponding to the first voltage signal.

[0054] It should be noted that the first set frequency is any set frequency different from the AC power frequency, so that when the second voltage signal is a mixed signal of the AC power voltage signal and the actual output voltage signal corresponding to the first voltage signal, it is convenient to separate the actual output voltage signal corresponding to the first voltage signal from the mixed voltage signal.

[0055] In one embodiment, the conversion module 120 includes a current conversion unit 122 , the signal feedback module 110 includes a current feedback unit 112 , and the signal sampling module 130 includes a current sampling unit 132 ;

[0056] The current feedback unit 112 is connected to the input end of the current conversion unit 122, and the current feedback unit 112 inputs the first current signal of the second set frequency to the current conversion unit 122; the input end of the current sampling unit 132 is connected to the output end of the current conversion unit 122, and the current sampling unit 132 collects the second current signal output by the current conversion unit 122, and outputs the second current signal to the metering monitoring module 140.

[0057] The current conversion unit 122 is used to shunt the input current signal and convert the strong current signal into a weak current signal to facilitate sampling by the current sampling unit 132. In an embodiment, the strong current signal includes a mains current signal, a first current signal, or a mixed signal of the mains current signal and the first current signal. The current feedback unit 112 is used to inject a current test signal, i.e., a first current signal, into the current conversion unit on the current channel of the smart electric energy meter. The second current signal includes an actual output current signal and / or a mains current signal corresponding to the first current signal. Specifically, in one embodiment, the mains power grid and the current feedback unit simultaneously input current signals to the current conversion unit 122, at which time the second current signal output by the current conversion unit 122 is a mixed current signal of the mains current signal and the actual output current signal corresponding to the first current signal. In one embodiment, only the current feedback unit 112 inputs a current signal to the current conversion unit 122, at which time the second current signal output by the current conversion is the actual output current signal corresponding to the first current signal.

[0058] It should be noted that the second set frequency is any set frequency different from the AC power frequency, so that when the second current signal is a mixed signal of the AC power current signal and the actual output current signal corresponding to the first current signal, it is convenient to separate the actual output current signal corresponding to the first current signal from the mixed current signal.

[0059] It should also be noted that the first set frequency and the second set frequency can be the same frequency or different frequencies. For example, if the mains frequency is 50 Hz and the first set frequency is 25 Hz, then the second set frequency can be 25 Hz or 15 Hz.

[0060] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the metering monitoring module 140 includes a signal detection unit 141 and an error monitoring unit 142. The signal detection unit 141 is connected to the signal feedback module 110 and the signal sampling module 130 respectively, and is used to obtain the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, obtain the target output electrical signal according to the first electrical signal, and output the target output electrical signal and the second electrical signal to the error monitoring unit 142; the error monitoring unit 142 is connected to the signal detection unit 141, and is used to compare the second electrical signal with the target output electrical signal, generate an error check parameter, and transmit the error check parameter to the processor 150.

[0061] In this embodiment, two signal channels are respectively derived from the signal detection unit 141, one signal channel is connected to the signal feedback module 110 to obtain the first electrical signal, and the other signal channel is connected to the signal sampling module 130 to obtain the second electrical signal. After the signal detection unit 141 obtains the first electrical signal, according to the set proportional rule, the theoretical output value corresponding to the first electrical signal under normal circumstances is calculated according to the size of the first electrical signal. The normal situation refers to the situation where there is no metering error or inaccuracy. It can be a relative concept and can be determined relative to the metering data of the smart electric energy meter when it leaves the factory. For example, the set proportional rule is to input the first electrical signal: the theoretical output value corresponding to the first electrical signal under normal circumstances = 5:1. According to the proportional rule, the target output electrical signal of a predetermined ratio is obtained by the existing circuit at any input first electrical signal.

[0062] Among them, the second electrical signal can be the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal. In this case, the second electrical signal is equal to the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal. The first electrical signal can also be a mixed electrical signal of the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the mains and the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal. In this case, when the error monitoring unit 142 compares the second electrical signal with the target output electrical signal, it is also necessary to separate the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal from the mixed electrical signal and then compare it with the target output signal. Optionally, the error parameter can be the ratio of the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal to the target output electrical signal, or the ratio of the target output electrical signal to the actual output electrical signal corresponding to the first electrical signal.

[0063] In one embodiment, the voltage conversion unit includes a resistor network.

[0064] In an embodiment, the resistor network includes a plurality of resistors integrated together in a predetermined connection mode, and the strong voltage signal is converted into a weak voltage signal through the resistor network, so as to facilitate voltage sampling of the voltage sampling unit.

[0065] In one embodiment, the current conversion unit includes a manganese-copper resistor or a current transformer.

[0066] Smart energy meters include single-phase smart energy meters and three-phase smart energy meters. In a single-phase smart energy meter, the current conversion unit includes a manganese copper resistor, which converts a strong current signal into a weak current signal, which is convenient for current sampling by a current sampling unit. In a three-phase smart energy meter, the current conversion unit includes a current transformer, which converts a strong current signal into a weak current signal, which is convenient for current sampling by a current sampling unit.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the smart electricity meter also includes: a communication module 160; the communication module 160 is connected to the processor 150, and is used to receive the metering error misalignment fault information sent by the processor 150, and transmit the metering error misalignment fault information to the terminal device.

[0068] In the embodiment, the processor 150 is connected to the terminal device through the communication module 160. The communication module 160 includes a communication chip and a peripheral circuit. The communication module 160 is used for data information communication between the processor 150 and the external terminal device, and can be connected to the terminal device in a wired or wireless manner to realize the interaction of data signals between the processor and the terminal device. For example, the processor 150 sends metering error misalignment fault information to the communication module 160, and the communication module 160 receives the metering error misalignment fault information and sends it to the terminal device, such as the server main station, for data analysis on the terminal device or to alarm the terminal device to remind the user that the smart energy meter has a metering error misalignment fault.

[0069] In one embodiment, the communication module 160 includes one or more of an infrared communication unit, an RS485 communication unit, and a carrier communication unit.

[0070] The communication module 160 includes a wired communication module and a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module includes an infrared communication unit, etc., and the wired communication module includes an RS485 communication unit and a carrier communication unit, etc. The infrared communication unit uses infrared to transmit data information. The carrier communication unit uses existing power lines to transmit data information at high speed through a carrier. The RS485 communication unit uses an RS485 bus to transmit data information. In an embodiment, the communication module specifically uses which communication method or methods to transmit data information to be set according to actual conditions.

[0071] Continue to refer Figure 4 In one embodiment, the smart energy meter further includes a relay protection module 170; the relay protection module 170 is connected to the processor 150; the processor 150 is also used to control the relay protection module 170 to perform power-off protection.

[0072] The relay protection module 170 includes a relay and a peripheral circuit. In an embodiment, the relay protection module 170 includes a pull-out relay circuit and a closing relay circuit. The relay protection module 170 implements power-off protection when an abnormality occurs in the circuit according to the processing result of the processor. For example, when the processor 150 determines that the current, voltage, power or temperature in the circuit exceeds the rated value, the relay protection module 170 is controlled to perform power-off protection and disconnect the circuit to play a protective role.

[0073] Continue to refer Figure 4 In one embodiment, the smart energy meter further includes a display module 180 ; the display module 180 is connected to the processor 150 and is used to display information according to a signal output by the processor 150 .
