On this basis, when the detachable electric meter box is adjusted in the deployment position, it only needs to move the first antenna assembly to the first position, and the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is still toward the first network device, so that the beam sent by the electric meter body through the first antenna assembly can still be received by the first network device, thereby realizing flexible deployment and solving the problem of limited deployment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a separate electric meter box. Background Art

[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important application scenario in the fifth generation mobile communication system (5th generation, 5G). The operator network can deploy network equipment near multiple IoT terminals, and the network equipment is connected to these IoT terminals through the 5G air interface to control these IoT terminals. Taking the power scenario as an example, multiple smart meters can be connected to the relay terminal through the 5G air interface to enable these multiple smart meters to operate under the control of the relay terminal, such as collecting power data of related electrical equipment. In addition, since 5G uses beamforming technology, the propagation distance of the beam is longer, so that the control range of the relay terminal can be larger, and more smart meters can be controlled to improve control efficiency, and the deployment cost can be effectively reduced.

[0003] However, beamforming technology makes the beam of the relay terminal directional, so these smart meters can only be deployed in the direction of the beam, which limits their deployment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a separate electric meter box to solve the problem of limited deployment of smart electric meters.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, a detachable electric meter box is provided, comprising: an electric meter body and a first antenna assembly. A first slide rail is provided on the electric meter body, and the first antenna assembly is mounted on the first slide rail. The first antenna assembly adjusts the beam direction of the first antenna assembly by moving the first slide rail, wherein when the first antenna assembly moves to a first position, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is toward a first network device, so that the beam sent by the electric meter body through the first antenna assembly is received by the first network device.

[0007] The track of the first slide rail may be a straight line, a curve, or a broken line, without limitation. The embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking a straight line as an example, and other implementations can be understood by reference, and will not be described in detail.

[0008] Based on the method described in the first aspect, it can be known that by setting a first slide rail on the meter body and slidingly setting the first antenna assembly on the first slide rail, the first antenna assembly can be moved relative to the meter body. On this basis, when the deployment position of the separate meter box is adjusted, it is only necessary to move the first antenna assembly to the first position, and the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is still toward the first network device, so that the beam sent by the meter body through the first antenna assembly can still be received by the first network device, thereby achieving flexible deployment and solving the problem of limited deployment.

[0009] Among them, the first network device can be a base station, such as a next generation node B (next generation node B, gNB), or can be a reconfigurable intelligent surface (reconfigurable intelligent surface, RIS), without limitation.

[0010] In a possible design scheme, the first antenna assembly may include: a first sliding connector, a first antenna and a first connecting rod. The first sliding connector is engaged with the first slide rail. For example, the track of the first slide rail is symmetrically "concave" and the first sliding connector is in an "I" shape, so that the first sliding connector is engaged with the first slide rail. The first sliding connector slides on the first slide rail along the track direction of the first slide rail. One end of the first connecting rod is connected to the first sliding connector, and the other end of the first connecting rod is provided with a first antenna. Among them, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is toward the first network device, which means that the beam direction of the first antenna is toward the first network device. It can be seen that the first antenna is extended to the outside of the meter body through the first connecting rod and has a certain distance from the meter body, so that the adjustable angle of the beam direction of the first antenna is relatively large, thereby making the deployment flexibility of the separate meter box stronger.

[0011] Optionally, the first antenna assembly may further include: a second antenna, the second antenna is arranged on the other end of the first connecting rod, and the beam direction of the second antenna is different from the beam direction of the first antenna. In this way, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is toward the first network device, which means that the beam direction of any one of the first antenna and the second antenna is toward the first network device. In other words, when the deployment position of the separated electric meter box is adjusted, it only needs to be adjusted so that the beam direction of any one of the antennas is toward the first network device, so as to further enhance the flexibility of deployment.

[0012] In a possible design scheme, a second slide rail is provided on the main body of the electric meter. The track of the first slide rail can be a straight line, a curve, or a broken line, without limitation. The embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking a straight line as an example, and other implementation methods can be understood by reference, and will not be repeated here. The track direction of the second slide rail is different from the track direction of the first slide rail. For example, a certain angle can be formed between the first slide rail and the second slide rail, such as being perpendicular to each other. In addition, the separate electric meter box also includes: a second antenna assembly, the second antenna assembly is mounted on the second slide rail, and the second antenna assembly adjusts the beam direction of the second antenna assembly by moving the second slide rail, wherein, when the second antenna assembly moves to the second position, the beam direction of the second antenna assembly is toward the second network device, so that the beam sent by the electric meter body through the second antenna assembly is received by the second network device.

[0013] It can be understood that the tracks of the first slide rail and the second slide rail can also be arranged crosswise, so that the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly can switch the slide rails. For example, the first antenna assembly moves from the first slide rail to the second slide rail, or the second antenna assembly moves from the second slide rail to the first slide rail, so that the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly can be located on each other's original tracks, or the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly can be located on the same track.

[0014] Optionally, the second antenna assembly may include: a second sliding connector, a third antenna, and a second connecting rod. The second sliding connector is engaged with the second slide rail, and the first sliding connector is engaged with the first slide rail. For example, the track of the second slide rail is symmetrically "concave", and the second sliding connector is in an "I" shape, so as to achieve the engagement of the second sliding connector with the second slide rail. The second sliding connector slides on the second slide rail along the track direction of the second slide rail; one end of the second connecting rod is connected to the second sliding connector, and the other end of the second connecting rod is provided with a third antenna. It can be seen that the second antenna is extended to the outside of the meter body through the second connecting rod and has a certain distance from the meter body, so that the adjustable angle of the beam direction of the second antenna is relatively large, thereby making the deployment flexibility of the separate meter box stronger.

[0015] Among them, the beam direction of the second antenna component is toward the second network device, which means that the beam direction of the third antenna is toward the second network device. The second network device can be a base station, such as a gNB, or can be a RIS, without limitation. The second network device and the first network device are usually different devices, such as base stations covering different cells. That is to say, when adjusting the deployment position of the separate meter box, the position of different antenna components is adjusted so that the separate meter box can still maintain communication connection with different network devices. Alternatively, the second network device and the first network device can also be the same device, that is, the beams of the two antennas point to the same device, which can increase the transmission power and further improve the stability of communication.

[0016] Optionally, the second antenna assembly may further include: a fourth antenna, the fourth antenna is arranged on the other end of the second connecting rod, and the beam direction of the fourth antenna is different from the beam direction of the third antenna. In this way, the beam direction of the second antenna assembly toward the second network device means that the beam direction of any one of the third antenna and the fourth antenna is toward the second network device. In other words, when the deployment position of the separated electric meter box is adjusted, it only needs to be adjusted so that the beam direction of any one of the antennas is toward the second network device, so as to further enhance the flexibility of deployment.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, first Figure 1 The communication system shown in the example is used to describe in detail the communication system applicable to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system applicable to the method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the communication system mainly includes multiple terminals.

In a specific scenario, multiple terminals of an embodiment of the present application may include a separate meter box, and the beam direction of the separate meter box is toward the corresponding network device.

[0030] Among them, the embodiment of the beam in the new radio (NR) protocol can be a spatial domain filter, also known as a spatial filter, a spatial domain parameter, a spatial parameter, a spatial domain setting, a spatial setting, quasi-colocation (QCL) information, a QCL assumption, or a QCL indication, etc. The beam can be indicated by a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state (TCI-state) parameter or by a spatial relation parameter.

Beam can also be replaced by other terms representing beam, and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0031] A beam used to transmit a signal may be referred to as a transmission beam (Tx beam), may also be referred to as a spatial domain transmission filter, a spatial transmission filter, a spatial domain transmission parameter, a spatial transmission parameter, a spatial domain transmission setting, or a spatial transmission setting. A downlink transmission beam may be indicated by a TCI-state.

The uplink transmit beam can be indicated by a spatial relationship, an uplink TCI-state, or a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource (indicating a transmit beam using the SRS). Therefore, the uplink beam can also be replaced by an SRS resource.

[0033] The transmit beam may also refer to the distribution of signal strength in different directions of space after the signal is transmitted by the antenna. The receive beam may also refer to the distribution of signal strength in different directions of space of the wireless signal received from the antenna. In addition, the beam may be a wide beam, or a narrow beam, or other types of beams. The beam forming technology may be beamforming technology or other technologies.

[0034] The network equipment may specifically include: access network equipment, which may also be referred to as radio access network equipment (RAN) equipment, such as gNB. Alternatively, in the next generation communication system, it may also be replaced by any possible name without limitation.

[0035] Figure 2 The structure of the separate electric meter box provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown in FIG. Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the separate electric meter box 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the above communication system, including: an electric meter body 110 and a first antenna assembly 130 .

[0036] The meter body 110 is provided with a first slide rail 120. The track of the first slide rail 120 may be a straight line, a curve, or a broken line, without limitation. The embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking a straight line as an example, and other implementation methods can be understood by reference, and will not be described in detail.

[0037] The first antenna assembly 130 may be mounted on the first slide rail 120, and the first antenna assembly 130 adjusts the beam direction of the first antenna assembly 130 by moving the first slide rail 120, wherein when the first antenna assembly 130 moves to the first position, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly 130 is toward the first network device, so that the beam sent by the meter body 110 through the first antenna assembly 130 is received by the first network device. The first network device may be a base station, such as a gNB, or may be a RIS, without limitation.

[0038] Specifically, the first antenna assembly 130 may include: a first sliding connector 131, a first antenna 132 and a first connecting rod 133. The first sliding connector 131 is engaged with the first slide rail 120. For example, the track of the first slide rail 120 is symmetrically "concave" shaped, and the first sliding connector 131 is "I" shaped, so that the first sliding connector 131 is engaged with the first slide rail 120. The first sliding connector 131 slides along the track direction of the first slide rail 120 on the first slide rail 120. One end of the first connecting rod 133 is connected to the first sliding connector 131, such as fixedly connected. The other end of the first connecting rod 133 is provided with the first antenna 132, such as the first antenna 132 is arranged on the first connecting rod 133 by a hinge, so that the first antenna 132 can rotate relative to the first connecting rod 133. Among them, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly 130 is toward the first network device, which means that the beam direction of the first antenna 132 is toward the first network device. It can be seen that the first antenna 132 extends outside the meter body 110 through the first connecting rod 133 and has a certain distance from the meter body 110, so that the adjustable angle of the beam direction of the first antenna 132 is relatively large, thereby making the deployment flexibility of the separate meter box 100 stronger.

[0039] Optionally, the first antenna assembly 130 may further include: a second antenna 134, the second antenna 134 is arranged on the other end of the first connecting rod 133, such as by a hinge to arrange the second antenna 134 on the first connecting rod 133, so that the second antenna 134 can rotate relative to the first connecting rod 133, so that the beam direction of the second antenna 134 is different from the beam direction of the first antenna 132. In this way, the beam direction of the first antenna assembly 130 toward the first network device means that the beam direction of any one of the first antenna 132 and the second antenna 134 is toward the first network device. In other words, when the deployment position of the separated electric meter box 100 is adjusted, it only needs to be adjusted so that the beam direction of any one of the antennas is toward the first network device, so as to further enhance the flexibility of deployment.

[0040] Figure 3 The structure of the separate electric meter box provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown in FIG. Figure 2 ,like Figure 3As shown, a second slide rail 140 is also provided on the meter body 110. The track of the first slide rail 120 may be a straight line, a curve, or a broken line, without limitation. The embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking a straight line as an example, and other implementation methods can be understood by reference, and will not be repeated. The track direction of the second slide rail 140 is different from the track direction of the first slide rail 120. For example, a certain angle may be formed between the first slide rail 120 and the second slide rail 140, such as being perpendicular to each other. The separate meter box 100 may also include: a second antenna assembly 150, the second antenna assembly 150 is mounted on the second slide rail 140, and the second antenna assembly 150 is adjusted by the movement of the second slide rail 140 to adjust the beam direction of the second antenna assembly 150, wherein when the second antenna assembly 150 moves to the second position, the beam direction of the second antenna assembly 150 is toward the second network device, so that the beam sent by the meter body 110 through the second antenna assembly 150 is received by the second network device.

[0041] It can be understood that the tracks of the first slide rail 120 and the second slide rail 140 can also be arranged crosswise, so that the first antenna assembly 130 and the second antenna assembly 150 can switch the slide rails. For example, the first antenna assembly 130 moves from the first slide rail 120 to the second slide rail 140, or the second antenna assembly 150 moves from the second slide rail 140 to the first slide rail 120, so that the first antenna assembly 130 and the second antenna assembly 150 can be located on each other's original tracks, or the first antenna assembly 130 and the second antenna assembly 150 can be located on the same track.

[0042] Optionally, the second antenna assembly 150 may include: a second sliding connector 151, a third antenna 152, and a second connecting rod 153. The second sliding connector 151 is engaged with the second slide rail 140, and the first sliding connector 131 is engaged with the first slide rail 120. For example, the track of the second slide rail 140 is symmetrically "concave", and the second sliding connector 151 is in an "I" shape, so as to achieve the engagement of the second sliding connector 151 with the second slide rail 140. The second sliding connector 151 slides on the second slide rail 140 along the track direction of the second slide rail 140. One end of the second connecting rod 153 is connected to the second sliding connector 151, such as fixedly connected. The other end of the second connecting rod 153 is provided with the third antenna 152, such as the third antenna 152 is provided on the second connecting rod 153 by a hinge, so that the third antenna 152 can rotate relative to the second connecting rod 153. It can be seen that the second antenna 134 extends outside the meter body 110 through the second connecting rod 153 and has a certain distance from the meter body 110, so that the adjustable angle of the beam direction of the second antenna 134 is relatively large, thereby making the deployment flexibility of the separate meter box 100 stronger.

[0043] Among them, the beam direction of the second antenna assembly 150 is toward the second network device, which means that the beam direction of the third antenna 152 is toward the second network device. The second network device can be a base station, such as a gNB, or can be a RIS, without limitation. The second network device and the first network device are usually different devices, such as base stations covering different cells. That is to say, when adjusting the deployment position of the separate meter box 100, by adjusting the positions of different antenna assemblies, the separate meter box 100 can still maintain communication connections with different network devices. Alternatively, the second network device and the first network device can also be the same device, that is, the beams of the two antennas point to the same device, which can increase the transmission power and further improve the stability of communication.

[0044] Optionally, the second antenna assembly 150 may further include: a fourth antenna 154, which is disposed on the other end of the second connecting rod 153, such as by a hinge to dispose the fourth antenna 154 on the second connecting rod 153, so that the fourth antenna 154 can rotate relative to the second connecting rod 153, so that the beam direction of the fourth antenna 154 is different from the beam direction of the third antenna 152. In this way, the beam direction of the second antenna assembly 150 toward the second network device means that the beam direction of any one of the third antenna 152 and the fourth antenna 154 is toward the second network device. In other words, when the deployment position of the separated electric meter box 100 is adjusted, it only needs to be adjusted so that the beam direction of any one of the antennas is toward the second network device, so as to further enhance the flexibility of deployment.

[0045] In summary, by setting the first slide rail on the meter body and slidingly setting the first antenna assembly on the first slide rail, the first antenna assembly can be moved relative to the meter body. On this basis, when the deployment position of the separate meter box is adjusted, it is only necessary to move the first antenna assembly to the first position, and the beam direction of the first antenna assembly is still toward the first network device, so that the beam sent by the meter body through the first antenna assembly 130 can still be received by the first network device, thereby achieving flexible deployment and solving the problem of limited deployment.

[0046] It should be pointed out that setting two antenna components according to the above principle is only an example. For example, more antenna components can be set according to the above principle. The specific implementation can be understood by reference and will not be repeated. For example, in the case of three antenna components, the beam directions of two antenna components can be the same, and the beam mode of another antenna component is different from these two antenna components, or there can be more settings, which are not limited.
