[0037] Figure 1 An exemplary flow chart of a wireless power distribution display method 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0038] First, in step S101, at least two power distribution terminals communicate with a local gateway in a short-range wireless communication manner, and send their terminal identification data to the local gateway.

[0039] The short-range wireless communication method may be, for example, a short-range wireless communication method based on the Zigbee protocol, or it may also be a Bluetooth communication method. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific type of the selected short-range wireless communication method.

[0040] The power distribution terminal is intended to represent a terminal device for implementing a power distribution function, which may be, for example, a power distribution control terminal for implementing power distribution process control, or a power distribution detection terminal for detecting a power distribution state. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific type of the power distribution terminal.

[0041] The power distribution terminal can be connected to an external load, for example, if the power distribution terminal is a power distribution control terminal, such as a contactor (iCT) or a pulse switch (iTL), it can be installed in an industrial distribution box or a household distribution box, and one end of its contact is connected to the power supply of the distribution box, and the other end can be connected to an external load, and the external load can be an industrial field device, such as a motor, a sensor, or a household load circuit; for example, if the power distribution terminal is a detection terminal, it can be connected to a power distribution control circuit to be detected, or it can also be connected to an electrical component to be detected. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific type of the power distribution terminal and the type of external load connected to the power distribution terminal.

[0042] The terminal identification data of the power distribution terminal is intended to characterize the data used to identify the power distribution terminal, so as to distinguish the power distribution terminal from other power distribution terminals in the current wireless power distribution display system. It can be, for example, the terminal address code of the power distribution terminal, the model feature code of the power distribution terminal, or it can also be a code number identified manually. It can be, for example, a binary or quaternary digital code, or it can also be a character string or text code. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific content and form of the terminal identification data of the power distribution terminal.

[0043] Thereafter, in step S102, the local gateway outputs the terminal identification data in a short-range wireless communication manner.

[0044] The local gateway is intended to represent a communication gateway in a wireless power distribution display network, which is used to realize mutual communication between two power distribution terminals in the wireless power distribution network, and it can be, for example, a Zigbee gateway, or it can also be other gateways for realizing short-range wireless communication processes. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific type of the local gateway.

[0045] Among them, at least one of the at least two distribution terminals has a display module, and the at least one distribution terminal with a display module receives terminal identification data of other distribution terminals from the local gateway in a short-range wireless communication manner, and displays the terminal identification data.

[0046] Based on the above, in the wireless power distribution display method described in the present application, by setting at least one of the power distribution terminals to have a display module, during on-site debugging, the user can view all the power distribution terminals in the current power distribution display system in the display module of the power distribution terminal with the display module, which facilitates on-site debugging and monitoring.

[0047] In some embodiments, at least one distribution terminal with a display module receives terminal identification data, response information, and at least one of response data of other distribution terminals communicating with the local gateway from the local gateway via short-range wireless communication, uses it as data to be displayed, and displays the data to be displayed.

[0048] The response information is intended to represent information sent by other power distribution terminals to the power distribution terminal with a display module, which may be, for example, working status information, such as representing the current working mode and status; or it may also be alarm information, such as abnormality report information representing that the power distribution terminal is currently abnormal. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific composition and type of the response information.

[0049] The response data is intended to characterize the data sent by other distribution terminals to the distribution terminal with a display module in response to the received command information. It can be, for example, measurement data or terminal internal parameter data. For example, when the target distribution terminal is a distribution detection terminal, it returns the detection data at the current moment; or it can be execution feedback data. For example, if the target distribution terminal is a distribution control terminal, and the command information is a specific control operation, then if the target distribution terminal performs the specific control operation well, it can return 1, for example, and if it fails to perform the control operation or a problem occurs, it can return 0 or other preset specific error codes. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific composition and type of the response data.

[0050] Based on the above, for example, only one of the distribution terminals may have a display module, or multiple distribution terminals may have display modules based on actual user needs. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the number of distribution terminals having display modules.

[0051] The display module is intended to represent a functional module for displaying data, which may be, for example, a display screen, or may also be other display devices. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific composition of the display module.

[0052] Based on the above, in the wireless power distribution display method described in the present application, at least one of the power distribution terminals is provided with a display module, and it is enabled to receive the terminal identification data, response information or response data of each distribution terminal in the wireless power distribution display system via the local gateway, and display the received information or data. When conducting on-site debugging, the user can view all the distribution terminals in the current power distribution display system on the power distribution terminal with the display module, and further, can view the data or information of other distribution terminals in the power distribution system in real time through the distribution terminal, which is convenient for on-site debugging and monitoring.

[0053] In some embodiments, the wireless power distribution control method further includes: at least one power distribution terminal having a display module receives a user's control command, generates command information based on the control command, and sends the command information to a local gateway in a short-range wireless communication manner. The command information includes terminal identification data of the target power distribution terminal.

[0054] The control command may be a control command directly input by a user, such as a command directly typed by a user, or may be a control command generated by further processing a control instruction of a user, such as a voltage or current signal generated based on a user clicking on an area corresponding to a power distribution terminal on a screen of a display module. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the source of the control command.

[0055] The control command may be, for example, a data viewing command, such as a user specifying to view the detection data of a certain power distribution detection terminal; or it may be a power distribution control command, such as a user instructing a certain power distribution control terminal to perform a corresponding opening or closing operation to realize powering on or off of a load circuit connected thereto. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific composition and specific type of the control command.

[0056] The target power distribution terminal is intended to represent the power distribution terminal that the current control command is intended to control. It can be, for example, one power distribution terminal, or it can also be multiple power distribution terminals. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the number of the target power distribution terminals.

[0057] The process of receiving the user's control command by the power distribution terminal with a display module can be described in more detail, which can be implemented, for example, by a wired method, such as Ethernet, or by a wireless method, such as a mobile communication system, such as a third generation mobile communication system (3G) or a fourth generation mobile communication system (4G), or by a general packet radio service technology (GPRS). The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific method in which the power distribution terminal with a display module receives the user's control command.

[0058] The command information may be, for example, character string information, or it may also be preset numeric or letter information. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific form of the command information.

[0059] The command information is intended to represent the user's control instruction, and includes the terminal identification data of the target power distribution terminal. The command information can be obtained by searching the command coding table based on the user command, or it can also be obtained based on other methods. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the generation method of the command information.

[0060] Based on the above, the power distribution terminal with a display module receives the user's control commands and generates command information based on the control commands and sends it to the local gateway, so that the user's control commands can be output to the outside in real time, which facilitates the wireless power distribution display system to respond to the commands, thereby facilitating reliable power distribution control.

[0061] In some embodiments, the local gateway will judge the received command information, for example, whether the terminal identification data of the target distribution terminal included in the command information corresponds to the distribution terminal currently existing in the wireless distribution display system. If the terminal identification data of the target distribution terminal does not correspond to any distribution terminal in the current system, the local gateway can, for example, judge the command information as error information and send an alarm message to the distribution terminal with a display device.

[0062] Based on the above, by setting the local gateway to verify the command information, it is possible to timely discover error information and alarm, thereby preventing the power distribution terminal from being incorrectly controlled due to command information errors, thereby improving the robustness of the wireless power distribution display system.

[0063] Figure 2 An exemplary flow chart of a wireless power distribution display method 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, first, in step S201, the local gateway receives the command information from the at least one distribution terminal having a display module, determines the target distribution terminal based on the terminal identification data in the command information, and sends the command information to the target distribution terminal in a short-range wireless communication manner.

[0065] The process of determining the target power distribution terminal can be described in more detail. For example, the local gateway can first parse the command information, for example, obtain the terminal data of the target power distribution terminal included in the command information, and then compare the terminal data with the terminal data of the target terminal existing in the current wireless power distribution display system to obtain the target terminal corresponding to the terminal data.

[0066] Thereafter, in step S202, the target power distribution terminal receives the command information in a short-range wireless communication manner, and generates corresponding response data based on the command information.

[0067] The response data may be, for example, measurement data, such as when the target power distribution terminal is a power distribution detection terminal, it may return the detection data at the current moment; or it may be execution feedback data, such as if the target power distribution terminal is a power distribution control terminal, and the command information is a specific control operation, then if the target power distribution terminal performs the specific control operation well, it may return, for example, 1, and if it fails to perform the control operation or a problem occurs, it may return, for example, 0 or other preset specific error codes. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific composition and type of the response data.

[0068] The process of generating corresponding response data based on the command information can be described in more detail, for example, when the target power distribution terminal is a power distribution detection terminal and the control command is a data viewing command, the power distribution detection terminal will perform detection on the load connected thereto based on the control command and generate a detection signal, and then it will generate corresponding detection data based on the detection signal and output the detection data as response data.

[0069] Based on the above, the local gateway determines the target power distribution terminal based on the command information, and sends the command information to the target power distribution terminal, so that the target power distribution terminal can generate corresponding response data based on the command information and send the response data. This enables real-time and efficient response to the control command of the user at the power distribution terminal with a display module, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the wireless power distribution display system.

[0071] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, first, in step S301, the target power distribution terminal outputs the response data in a short-range wireless communication manner.

[0072] Thereafter, in step S302, the local gateway receives the response data from the target power distribution terminal in a short-range wireless communication manner, and outputs the response data in a short-range wireless communication manner.

[0073] After being forwarded by the local gateway, in step S303, the at least one power distribution terminal having a display module receives the response data from the local gateway in a short-range wireless communication manner, and displays the response data.

[0074] For example, the power distribution terminal with a display module can display the response data in a data area corresponding to the power distribution terminal on the screen, or can also display the response data in the form of a pop-up window. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited by the specific manner in which the power distribution terminal with a display module displays the response data.

[0075] Based on the above, the response data is sent from the target power distribution terminal to the wireless gateway, and is forwarded by the wireless gateway, and finally received by the power distribution terminal with a display device, and the power distribution terminal with a display device will further display the response data. This can facilitate users to view the data of other power distribution terminals in real time, especially during on-site debugging, and can reflect the current data or working status of the target power distribution terminal in real time, thereby achieving efficient power distribution control.

[0129] The short-range wireless communication module receives the command signal from the display module, generates command information based on the command signal, and the communication output end of the short-range wireless communication module sends the command information to the local gateway in a short-range wireless communication manner. The command information includes the terminal identification data of the target power distribution terminal.

[0130] Based on the above, the power distribution terminal with a display module receives the user's control command through the command response module and generates command information based on the control command and sends it to the local gateway, so that the user's control command can be output to the outside in real time, which facilitates the wireless power distribution display system to respond to the command, thereby facilitating reliable power distribution control.

Especially during on-site debugging, the current data or working status of the target distribution terminal can be reflected in real time, thereby realizing efficient distribution control.

[0133] Next, the working process of the wireless power distribution terminal with a display module under the wireless power distribution display system will be specifically described in combination with the aforementioned wireless power distribution display system. Fig. 7A A schematic diagram of a wireless power distribution display system 700 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7B An exemplary flow chart of a power distribution terminal with a display module working in a wireless power distribution display system 700 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0134] Reference Fig. 7A and Figure 7B , wherein the wireless power distribution display system 700 includes, for example, a central control room, a Zigbee gateway, power distribution terminals E1, E2, E3, and E4, wherein the power distribution terminal E4 is a power distribution terminal with a display module. Based on the foregoing, it has a display module and a short-range wireless communication module ( Fig. 7A The Zigbee gateway is used to realize mutual communication between two power distribution terminals among the multiple power distribution terminals. The display module is, for example, a touch screen, and the central control room can, for example, receive data from each power distribution terminal from the Zigbee gateway.

[0135] Based on this, first, as described above, the power distribution terminal E4 with a display module, for example, sends a network access request to the Zigbee gateway to join the current wireless power distribution display system, joins the wireless power distribution display system and receives the terminal identification data of other power distribution terminals E1, E2, and E3 from the Zigbee gateway, which can display the terminal identification data on the touch screen. The terminal identification data of the power distribution terminals E1, E2, and E3 are, for example, respectively: e1, e2, and e3. Thereafter, the power distribution terminal E4 with a display module can, for example, execute the following Figure 7B Process 700B is shown.

[0136] First, in step S701, the power distribution terminal E4 with a display module determines whether its display module has received the user's control command. If it has not received the user's control command, the process continues; when the user's control command is found, it will generate command information based on the control command, and further in step S702, the command information is sent to the Zigbee gateway in a short-range wireless manner via the short-range wireless communication module.

[0137] For example, if the power distribution terminal E1 is a power distribution detection terminal and the power distribution terminal E2 is a power distribution control terminal, when the user's control instruction is "query the detection data of the power distribution terminal E1", the power distribution terminal E4 with a display module, for example, generates command information "task 1, e1" based on the control command, where task1 represents the task of querying detection data, and e1 is the terminal identification data of the current target power distribution terminal E1. Then, through the forwarding of the Zigbee gateway, the target power distribution terminal E1 can, for example, generate corresponding response data based on the control command, and the response data is, for example, the currently detected voltage value data, which is "46V". Then, through the forwarding of the Zigbee gateway, the power distribution terminal with a display module can, for example, receive the data and display the data, i.e., "46V", on its display module, i.e., the display screen.
