[0002] Typically, a large number of dual power switches are installed in the power supply circuits of important places where power outages are not allowed. When the main power supply fails for some reason, the dual power switch can switch the user's equipment to the backup power supply to avoid affecting the user's equipment.

[0003] However, if the dual power switch fails, when the main power is cut off, the dual power switch cannot switch to the backup power supply, resulting in a power outage for the user's equipment; when the power outage occurs, since the user only knows which area of ​​the equipment has a power outage, but does not know the specific installation location of the corresponding dual power switch distribution box in the building, maintenance personnel need to spend a long time looking through the drawings, which prolongs the power outage and aggravates the impact on the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, how to quickly find the specific location of the dual power switch is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In this application, the terms "comprises", "comprising" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0043] In order to quickly find the specific location of the dual power switch, the embodiment of the present application provides a fault acquisition method, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0044] S110 , at least one dual power switch establishes a data transmission channel with a remote platform through a one-to-one corresponding communication module.

[0045] The data transmission channel is a channel for data transmission; the communication module can report information to the remote platform only after establishing a data transmission channel with the remote platform.

[0046] S120. The corresponding communication module reports the fault alarm information of the corresponding dual power switch to the remote platform.

[0047] The fault alarm information of the dual power switch is generated by the dual power switch according to the state change of the dual power switch itself.

[0048] For example, when the incoming line device of the dual power switch is tripped, the incoming line current and voltage of the dual power switch are reduced; therefore, when the dual power switch detects that its own incoming line current and voltage are reduced, a fault alarm signal is generated.

[0049] S130. The remote platform determines the location information of the corresponding dual power switch according to the fault alarm information.

[0050] S140: The remote platform sends corresponding fault alarm information and corresponding location information to the corresponding electronic device.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, after each dual power switch establishes a data transmission channel with the remote platform through a one-to-one corresponding communication module, the remote platform determines the location information of the corresponding dual power switch through the reported fault alarm information of the corresponding dual power switch; then, the remote platform sends the fault alarm information and location information of the corresponding dual power switch to the corresponding electronic device; therefore, using the fault acquisition method of this embodiment, the maintenance personnel can learn that the corresponding dual power switch has a fault, and can quickly find the specific location of the faulty dual power switch, so that the faulty dual power switch can be repaired as soon as possible to avoid serious impact on user equipment. .

[0052] When in use, an application example is that after receiving the fault alarm information, the electronic device will pop up a window prompt and emit an alarm prompt sound to alert the maintenance personnel. After the maintenance personnel learn that the dual power switch has a fault, they click on the pop-up window on the display interface of the electronic device to enter the first-level interface. At the bottom of the first-level interface, the specific location of the dual power switch on the map is displayed; further, by clicking on the map, they can jump to the navigation interface to provide navigation for the maintenance personnel.

[0053] The above is only one implementation method for an electronic device to prompt and display the specific location of a dual power switch. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation methods, no specific limitations are made here and it may depend on the specific circumstances and is within the protection scope of this application.

[0054] In the above embodiment, although the maintenance personnel can be prompted that the dual power switching device has a fault and the specific location of the fault can also be notified to the maintenance personnel, the maintenance personnel are not clear about the specific fault of the dual power switching device. To solve this problem, in another embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, after step S110, the following steps are also included.

[0055] S210. The corresponding communication module reports to the remote module the state change of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information.

[0056] S220. The remote platform sends the state change of the corresponding dual power switch when generating the fault alarm information to the corresponding electronic device.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the state changes of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information are sent to the electronic device, the maintenance personnel can also understand the state changes of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information through the electronic device when receiving the fault prompt; thereafter, the maintenance personnel can analyze the specific fault of the dual power switching device online according to these state changes, so that the maintenance of the dual power switching device can be completed at one time, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the maintenance personnel.

[0058] When in use, an application example is that after the maintenance personnel learns that the dual power switch has a fault, they click on the pop-up window on the display interface of the electronic device to enter the first-level interface. The first-level interface displays the current fault of the dual power switch and the faults that have occurred in the history of the dual power switch. Clicking on the current fault can display the status changes of the dual power switch when generating the fault alarm information.

[0059] The above is only one implementation method for obtaining the state change of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation methods, no specific limitations are made here and it may depend on the specific circumstances and is within the protection scope of this application.

[0060] In the above embodiment, although the cause of the dual power switch failure can be analyzed online in theory, in actual application, if the maintenance personnel are not familiar with the dual power switch of this model, or the maintenance personnel have little maintenance experience, it is impossible to accurately interpret the state change of the dual power switch when the fault alarm information is generated, and thus it is impossible to determine the cause of the dual power switch failure online; to solve this problem, in another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation of step S220 is:

[0061] The remote platform marks the state change of the corresponding dual power switch when generating fault alarm information at the corresponding position of the digital twin of the corresponding dual power switch, and sends both to the corresponding electronic device.

[0062] Among them, the digital twin is a virtual image constructed on a remote platform based on the acquired entity information of the corresponding dual power switch when the corresponding communication module is installed; for example, a photo or a three-dimensional model.

[0063] One application example is that when installing the corresponding communication module, the maintenance personnel use the small program on the electronic device to scan the QR code on the communication module, read the entity information of the corresponding dual power switch obtained by the corresponding communication module, and use the entity information to build a digital twin of the dual power switch on the remote platform.

[0064] Therefore, the state change of the dual power switch in the dual power switching device is marked at the corresponding position of the digital twin, that is, if the state at a certain position of the corresponding dual power switch changes, the state change is marked at the corresponding position of the corresponding digital twin.

[0065] The above is only an example of building a digital twin on a remote platform. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation methods, no specific limitations are made here and may be determined according to specific circumstances. They are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] In this embodiment, by utilizing the constructed digital twin, the state changes occurring in the corresponding positions of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information can be more intuitively shown, thereby allowing maintenance personnel to obtain information more intuitively.

[0067] When in use, an application example is that after the maintenance personnel learns that a dual power switch has failed, they enter the first-level interface by clicking on a pop-up window on the display interface of the electronic device. The first-level interface displays the current fault of the dual power switch and the historical faults of the dual power switch. By clicking on the current fault, a virtual image of the dual power switch can be displayed, such as a photo of the dual power switch, and the corresponding position on the virtual image indicates the state change of the dual power switch when the fault alarm information is generated.

[0068] For example, when the switching time of the dual power switch is too long, it indicates that the dual power switch has aged due to unnatural reasons; at this time, the switching time can be indicated at the switch switching position of the digital twin, so that maintenance personnel can analyze the cause of the fault.

[0069] The above is only one implementation method for obtaining the state change of the dual power switch when generating fault alarm information. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation methods, no specific limitations are made here and it may depend on the specific circumstances and is within the protection scope of this application.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the fault alarm information of the dual power switch is used as the basis. However, the fault alarm information is only the alarm information generated when the dual power switch actually fails. Therefore, the potential risk cannot be discovered, that is, the predictive maintenance of the dual power switch cannot be achieved. In order to achieve the predictive maintenance of the dual power switch, in another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 (Only in Figure 1 As shown in the figure, after step S110, the following steps are also included:

[0071] S310. Each communication module reports usage information of the dual power switch to the remote module.

[0072] The usage information is information about the usage of the dual power switch 10 , such as the number of switching times and continuous usage time of the dual power switch 10 ; the main body information is information about the specific structure of the dual power switch 10 .

[0073] S320: The remote platform determines whether the usage information of the corresponding dual power switch exceeds the preset requirement.

[0074] Among them, the preset requirement is a pre-set critical value for predicting a dual power switch failure, that is: if the usage information of the dual power switch exceeds the preset requirement, it is predicted that the dual power switch fails; therefore, if the usage information of the dual power switch exceeds the preset requirement, step S330 and step S340 are executed; if the usage information of the dual power switch does not exceed, after executing step S350, return to execute step S320.

[0075] S330: The remote platform determines the location information of the corresponding dual power switch according to the usage information of the corresponding dual power switch.

[0076] S340. The remote platform sends corresponding prediction alarm information and corresponding location information to the corresponding electronic device.

[0077] S350. The remote platform updates the usage information of the dual power switch.

[0078] For example, the usage information is the number of times the dual power switch has been switched, and the preset requirement is less than 90 times. When the communication module reports to the remote module that the dual power switch has been switched 91 times, the remote platform predicts that the dual power switch may fail. Therefore, the remote platform will send corresponding prediction alarm information to the corresponding electronic equipment, prompting maintenance personnel to replace the dual power switch to avoid the dual power switch from affecting user equipment due to failure in a short period of time in the future.

[0079] In this embodiment, by using the usage information of the dual power switch, potential risks can be discovered in time so as to achieve predictive maintenance of the dual power switch, thereby further preventing the dual power switch from affecting user equipment due to any reason.

[0080] When in use, an application example is that after receiving the predicted alarm information, the electronic device will pop up a window prompt and emit an alarm prompt sound to alert the maintenance personnel. After the maintenance personnel are informed, they click on the pop-up window on the display interface of the electronic device to enter the first-level interface. At the bottom of the first-level interface, the specific location of the dual power switch on the map is displayed; further, by clicking on the map, they can jump to the navigation interface to provide navigation for the maintenance personnel.

[0081] The above is only one implementation method of prompting by an electronic device. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation methods, no specific limitation is made here and it may be determined according to the specific circumstances, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0082] In another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation method is provided in which the remote platform determines the location information of the corresponding dual power switch according to the corresponding information of the corresponding dual power switch, specifically:

[0083] The remote platform searches for the location information of the corresponding dual power switch in the mapping table between the device code and the location information stored in the remote platform according to the device code of the corresponding communication module.

[0084] The device code of the corresponding communication module is attached to the corresponding information of the corresponding dual power switch during the reporting process.

[0085] It should be noted that after the communication module is installed, the maintenance staff manually inputs the device code of the communication module and the location of its corresponding dual power switch into the remote platform through electronic equipment. Therefore, the remote platform stores a mapping table of device code and location information.

[0086] In another embodiment of the present application, an implementation of step S110 is as follows: Figure 4 (Only in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0087] S410: The remote platform determines whether the device code of the corresponding communication module is legal under the call of the corresponding communication module.

[0088] In actual application, after the communication module is powered on, the remote platform executes a verification procedure by calling an API (Application Programming Interface) of the remote platform, that is, determining whether the device code of the corresponding communication module is legal in step S410.

[0089] If the device code of the corresponding communication module is legal, step S420 and step S430 are executed in sequence.

[0090] S420: Send connection information for establishing a connection with a message proxy to a corresponding communication module.

[0091] S430: The corresponding communication module establishes a data transmission channel with the remote platform according to the connection information.

[0092] In actual applications, the message agent is MQTT Broker; and the communication modules all report information in MQTT TLS encrypted form.

[0093] The above is only a specific implementation method for the communication module to establish a data transmission channel. In practical applications, including but not limited to the above implementation method, no specific limitation is made here, and it may be determined according to the specific situation, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0094] Another embodiment of the present application provides a fault acquisition system, whose specific structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes: a remote platform 100, at least one electronic device 200, at least one dual power switch device 300 and at least one communication module 400.

[0095] In the fault acquisition system, each communication module 400 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each dual power switch 300; the remote platform 100 is respectively connected to each electronic device 200 and each dual power switch 300 for communication; the remote platform 100 and each communication module 400 jointly execute the fault acquisition method provided in the above embodiment

[0096] Preferably, the remote platform is a cloud platform; in practical applications, including but not limited to this preferred implementation, no specific limitation is made here, and it may be determined according to the specific circumstances, all of which are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0097] Preferably, the dual power switch is an automatic transfer switch ATS; in practical applications, including but not limited to this preferred implementation, no specific limitation is made here, and it may be determined according to the specific circumstances, all of which are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0098] In another embodiment of the present application, the dual power switching device 300 and the remote platform 100 are connected in communication via a narrowband Internet of Things, which can make the connection gateway have low additional cost, low traffic, low maintenance cost, and can be plug-and-play and debugging-free.

[0099] It should be noted that since the maintenance personnel are only concerned about whether the dual power switching device 300 has a fault and what kind of fault has occurred, the dual power switching device 300 only needs to report the fault alarm information and its own state changes when the fault occurs, and does not need to report real-time data such as real-time current and voltage. In addition, the dual power switch 300 only collects state changes of a limited number of position change state points, so the amount of information reported is not large. In addition, the installation location of the dual power switching device 300 is relatively scattered, so it is suitable to use narrowband Internet of Things for communication between the dual power switching device 300 and the remote platform 100.

[0100] The above is only a preferred communication method between the dual power switching device 300 and the remote platform 100. In practical applications, it includes but is not limited to this preferred method. No specific limitation is made here and it can be determined according to the specific situation. All of them are within the protection scope of this application.
