Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of instrumentation technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and system for acquiring instrument data based on star flash technology. Background Art

[0002] Due to the poor network signal environment at the water meter installation location (for example, many meters are installed in underground wells 2 to 3 meters deep), it is difficult for network signals (NB or 4G signals) to penetrate the well cover and reach the bottom of the well, resulting in poor signal and low success rate of remote water meter reading or even failure to read the meter.

[0003] Among the short-range wireless technologies in the related art, the most commonly used is Bluetooth, that is, a Bluetooth water meter is matched with a Bluetooth collector. In order to ensure normal communication between the Bluetooth collector and the outside, the Bluetooth collector is usually required to be located at the wellhead, which results in a long distance between the Bluetooth collector and the water meter in the well. Especially under certain environmental conditions that are not conducive to communication, Bluetooth communication failures are prone to occur. When Bluetooth communication fails, the Bluetooth collector cannot collect data from the water meter, resulting in a low success rate in water meter reading.

[0057] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted with idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as here.

[0059] In response to the technical problem in the related art that the failure rate of Bluetooth communication between a Bluetooth collector and a Bluetooth meter is high, resulting in a low success rate of water meter reading, an embodiment of the present application provides a meter data acquisition method based on Star Flash technology, broadcasting a signal containing a first identifier of a Star Flash conversion device, receiving a meter reading function start instruction and at least one meter identifier from a Bluetooth collector, wherein the at least one meter identifier corresponds to at least one Bluetooth meter, and based on the meter reading function start instruction, collecting Bluetooth meter data corresponding to a second identifier, wherein the second identifier is any one of the at least one meter identifier, and sending the collected Bluetooth meter data to the Bluetooth collector. When the communication between the Bluetooth meter and the Bluetooth collector fails, the Bluetooth meter data can be collected and sent to the Bluetooth collector, thereby solving the problem that the Bluetooth collector cannot obtain the Bluetooth meter data when the communication between the Bluetooth collector and the Bluetooth meter fails, and improving the success rate of meter reading. This scheme is an improvement based on the existing equipment structure, and there is no need to modify the existing Bluetooth water meter and Bluetooth collector. It can be applicable to the existing underground water meter installation scheme without large-scale equipment changes.

[0060] The following describes an instrument data acquisition method, an instrument data acquisition device, an electronic device and an instrument data acquisition system based on star flash technology according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0061] refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an instrument data acquisition method based on the star flash technology, which is applied to a star flash conversion device, and the star flash conversion device supports the Bluetooth protocol and the star flash protocol. The method may include:

[0062] S101, using a star flash module to broadcast a signal containing a first identifier of a star flash conversion device.

[0063] Specifically, the first identifier may be a serial number of the star flash conversion device, and the first identifier may be a MAC address (Media Access Control Address). The communication address of the star flash conversion device may be determined according to the first identifier, so as to connect to the star flash conversion device.

[0064] The star flash conversion device can be installed at a position close to the Bluetooth instrument to obtain data of the Bluetooth instrument. The star flash conversion device includes a star flash module, and the star flash module is used to broadcast a signal containing a first identifier of the star flash conversion device.

[0065] S102: Receive a meter reading function start instruction and at least one meter identification from a Bluetooth collector.

[0066] The at least one instrument identifier corresponds to the at least one Bluetooth instrument in a one-to-one manner.

[0067] Specifically, when the Bluetooth collector fails to receive broadcast data from n Bluetooth instruments for a first preset time, it searches for broadcast signals from the star flash conversion device, where n is a positive integer. A Bluetooth instrument is an instrument connected to the Bluetooth collector and equipped with Bluetooth, including but not limited to a water meter, a gas meter, etc. The first preset time can be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here.

[0068] After the Bluetooth collector searches for the signal broadcast by the Star Flash conversion device, it connects to the Star Flash conversion device according to the first identifier in the signal, and then sends a meter reading function start instruction and n second identifiers to the Star Flash conversion device. The aforementioned n Bluetooth meters correspond one-to-one to the n second identifiers, that is, each Bluetooth meter uniquely corresponds to one second identifier, and each second identifier uniquely corresponds to one Bluetooth meter.

[0069] S103: Based on the meter reading function start instruction, collect Bluetooth meter data corresponding to the second identifier.

[0070] The second identifier is any one of the at least one meter identifier. The star flash conversion device starts its own meter reading function based on the meter reading function start instruction, and then connects to the corresponding Bluetooth meter according to the second identifier to collect data of the corresponding Bluetooth meter.

[0071] Specifically, the star flash conversion device can periodically turn on the scanning function to collect the broadcast data of the Bluetooth instrument corresponding to the second identifier.

[0072] Exemplarily, when the Bluetooth collector fails to collect data from a certain Bluetooth instrument for a first preset period of time (for example, two days), the Bluetooth instrument is identified as an abnormal instrument with abnormal communication, and the Bluetooth collector sends an instruction to the Star Flash conversion device (the instruction includes the table number of the abnormal instrument, and the table number is the second identifier of the abnormal instrument), controlling the Star Flash conversion device to start the conversion function, that is, the Star Flash conversion device collects the data of the abnormal Bluetooth instrument, and then forwards it to the Bluetooth collector relying on the stronger penetration ability of Star Flash technology, thereby realizing normal collection of Bluetooth instrument data.

[0073] S104: Use the Star Flash module to send the collected Bluetooth instrument data to the Bluetooth collector.

[0074] Specifically, the Star Flash conversion device broadcasts the collected Bluetooth instrument data through the Star Flash physical layer and the Bluetooth protocol once every preset time. The broadcast data includes the second identifier of the Bluetooth instrument and the instrument data. The broadcast is a preset number of times, and then the next Bluetooth instrument data is switched to broadcast. All collected Bluetooth instrument data are polled and broadcast in turn. Since the Star Flash physical layer has a stronger penetration ability, the Bluetooth collector can receive the broadcast data of the Star Flash conversion device at a longer distance.

[0075] In some implementations, the method may further include:

[0076] S105, in response to receiving a first instrument historical data acquisition instruction from the Bluetooth collector, acquiring and storing historical data of the first instrument in a first time period, wherein the first instrument historical data acquisition instruction includes a start time and an end time of the first time period. The first instrument is any one of the Bluetooth instruments corresponding to the at least one instrument identifier.

[0077] S107 . In response to receiving a first meter historical data compensation instruction from the Bluetooth collector, sending the historical data of the first meter in a first time period to the Bluetooth collector.

[0078] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the first time period is from the moment when the Star Flash conversion device starts the meter reading function based on the meter reading function start instruction from the Bluetooth collector to the previous two days, and the duration is 48 hours, that is, the end time of the first time period is the moment when the Star Flash conversion device starts the meter reading function based on the meter reading function start instruction from the Bluetooth collector, and the start time is the moment 48 hours ago. After the Star Flash conversion device receives the historical data acquisition instruction sent by the Bluetooth collector, it obtains the historical data of the abnormal Bluetooth meter within 48 hours from the end time of the first time period, and stores it in the internal temporary storage module of the Star Flash conversion device. The Bluetooth collector actively connects to the Star Flash conversion device again and sends an "abnormal meter data compensation" instruction to obtain the missing data of the abnormal Bluetooth meter. The Star Flash conversion device sends the Bluetooth meter data of the abnormal Bluetooth meter in the first time period stored in the storage module to the Bluetooth collector to complete the missing meter data.

[0079] In this way, the Bluetooth collector can obtain the instrument data that was not collected in the first period, thereby improving the integrity of the collected Bluetooth instrument data.

[0080] In some implementations, the step S107 may include the following steps: S106, sending a message that historical data has been collected to the Bluetooth collector. In this way, the Bluetooth collector may send a historical data compensation instruction to the star flash conversion device after receiving the message that historical data has been collected, so as to improve the success rate of obtaining the historical data collected by the star flash conversion device and avoid sending a historical data compensation instruction when the star flash conversion device has not completed collecting historical data.

[0081] Exemplarily, sending the acquired first Bluetooth instrument data to the Bluetooth collector may include: adding a third identifier to the collected Bluetooth instrument data; and sending the Bluetooth instrument data with the third identifier to the Bluetooth collector. The Bluetooth instrument data with the third identifier added is easy to identify, so that it is easy to distinguish the data sent by the star flash conversion device to the Bluetooth collector and the data directly sent by the Bluetooth instrument to the Bluetooth collector, so as to query the time when the problem occurred and other information based on the data later, and provide reference information for equipment maintenance.

[0082] Exemplarily, the Starflash conversion device processes the collected first Bluetooth instrument data and adds a data identification bit. By determining the data identification bit of the Bluetooth collector at a certain moment, it can be determined whether the data comes from the Starflash conversion device or the Bluetooth instrument, which facilitates subsequent inquiries about the time when the problem occurred and provides a reference for equipment maintenance.

[0083] In some implementations, the method may further include: S108, in response to receiving an instruction from the Bluetooth collector to stop reporting data of a third instrument, stopping reporting data of the third instrument, wherein the third instrument is any one of the at least one Bluetooth instrument.

[0084] Exemplarily, in response to receiving a meter reading function shut-down instruction from the Bluetooth collector, the collection of Bluetooth meter data is stopped.

[0085] After the communication between the Bluetooth collector and each of the at least one Bluetooth meter mentioned above is restored, the Bluetooth collector can send a meter reading function shutdown instruction to the Star Flash conversion device, thereby controlling the Star Flash conversion device to stop collecting and forwarding data from the Bluetooth meter to save energy.

[0086] In some implementations, the method may further include: S109, when data of the second meter cannot be collected for a second preset time period, sending a prompt message indicating an abnormality of the second meter to the Bluetooth collector, wherein the prompt message includes a meter identifier corresponding to the second meter. The second preset time period may be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here.

[0087] Exemplarily, the star flash conversion device has a diagnostic function. When the star flash conversion device fails to collect broadcast data from a certain Bluetooth instrument for a second preset period of time (for example, two days), it indicates that the Bluetooth broadcast function of the Bluetooth instrument is abnormal and the meter-end data cannot be broadcast normally. When broadcasting the relevant content of the abnormal Bluetooth instrument, the star flash conversion device sets the Bluetooth communication position to "abnormal". The Bluetooth collector obtains the "abnormal" state and reports it to the system, prompting the system to repair the Bluetooth instrument. When the Bluetooth collector fails to collect normal data or prompts abnormal data of the Bluetooth instrument, it is determined that the communication function of the Bluetooth collector has failed. Through this setting, it is easy to determine whether the communication function between the Bluetooth instrument and the Bluetooth collector is normal, and it is easy to determine whether the communication is only temporarily interrupted due to special circumstances.

[0088] Exemplarily, the Star Flash conversion device uses a Star Flash module, which supports both Bluetooth and Star Flash protocols. In order to better be compatible with Bluetooth instruments and Bluetooth collectors, the Star Flash conversion device uses the Bluetooth protocol when interacting with Bluetooth collectors and Bluetooth instruments, but the physical layer still uses Star Flash technology, so it still has the advantages of Star Flash technology such as low latency, high anti-interference performance, and stronger penetration ability.

[0089] The Star Flash conversion device can convert the communication data and send it to the Bluetooth collector through the Star Flash module during the communication failure between the Bluetooth collector and the Bluetooth instrument, solving the problem of Bluetooth communication interruption between the Bluetooth collector and the Bluetooth instrument.

[0090] refer to Figure 2 As shown, another embodiment of the present application provides an instrument data acquisition method based on star flash technology, which is applied to a Bluetooth collector. The method may include:

[0091] S201 : searching for a broadcast signal from a star flash conversion device when no broadcast data from at least one Bluetooth instrument is received for a first preset time period.

[0092] The Bluetooth instrument is an instrument connected to the Bluetooth collector and equipped with Bluetooth, including but not limited to a water meter, a gas meter, etc.

[0093] S202: Based on the first identifier in the searched broadcast signal, send a meter reading function start instruction and at least one meter identifier to the star flash conversion device, so that the star flash conversion device collects Bluetooth meter data corresponding to the second identifier.

[0094] The second identifier is any one of the at least one instrument identifier; the at least one instrument identifier corresponds to the at least one Bluetooth instrument in a one-to-one manner.

[0095] S203, receiving Bluetooth instrument data from the star flash conversion device.

[0096] In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0097] S204: Send a first meter historical data acquisition instruction to the star flash conversion device, so that the star flash conversion device acquires and stores the historical data of the first Bluetooth meter in a first time period.

[0098] The first time period is a time period during which no broadcast data of the first instrument is received for a first preset continuous time period, and the first instrument historical data acquisition instruction includes the start time and end time of the first time period; the first instrument is any one of the Bluetooth instruments corresponding to the at least one instrument identifier.

[0099] S205: Send a first instrument historical data compensation instruction to the star flash conversion device.

[0100] In some implementations, step S205 may be replaced by: S205', in response to receiving a message from the star flash conversion device indicating that historical data has been collected, sending a historical data compensation instruction to the star flash conversion device. Step S205' is performed when the star flash conversion device sends a message to the Bluetooth collector indicating that historical data has been collected after collecting historical data.

[0101] S206: Receive historical data from the star flash conversion device.

[0102] In some implementations, the method may further include:

[0103] S207. When receiving broadcast data from a third instrument, send an instruction to stop reporting data of the third instrument to the star flash conversion device according to the first identifier, so that the star flash conversion device stops reporting data of the third instrument, where the third instrument is any one of the at least one Bluetooth instrument.

[0104] Exemplarily, when broadcast data is received from each of the at least one Bluetooth meter, a meter reading function shutdown instruction is sent to the Star Flash conversion device according to the first identifier, so that the Star Flash conversion device stops reporting the data of the Bluetooth meter.

[0105] In some implementations, the method may further include: when the Bluetooth collector cannot collect the broadcast signal or reported data of the star flash conversion device, determining that the star flash conversion device is damaged, and reporting damage information of the star flash conversion device.

[0106] In some implementations, the method may further include:

[0107] S208. In response to receiving the prompt information indicating that the second instrument is abnormal, sending second instrument abnormality alarm information to the host computer, wherein the prompt information includes an instrument identifier corresponding to the second instrument.

[0108] Sending the abnormal alarm information of the first Bluetooth instrument to the upper computer can prompt the first Bluetooth instrument to be repaired.

[0109] The method of this embodiment can collect Bluetooth meter data and send it to the Bluetooth collector when communication between the Bluetooth meter and the Bluetooth collector fails, solving the problem that the Bluetooth collector cannot obtain Bluetooth meter data when communication between the Bluetooth collector and the Bluetooth meter fails, thereby improving the success rate of meter reading.

[0110] In a specific example, in a water meter data reading application scenario, the meter data acquisition method may include the following steps:

[0111] 1)Reference Figure 3 As shown, the Bluetooth collector scans and receives the broadcast data of all Bluetooth water meters every 4 hours (this example takes a total of 10 Bluetooth water meters that cannot communicate with the Bluetooth collector as an example). When the conversion function is not turned on, the Star Flash conversion device broadcasts its own number through the Star Flash module (Bluetooth protocol) every two seconds with low power consumption. The location where the Bluetooth collector is installed meets the remote communication signal strength and is close enough to the Bluetooth water meter.

[0112] like Figure 3 As shown, the broadcast content of each Bluetooth meter includes the meter number, cumulative amount, battery voltage and meter status, and the Bluetooth collector scans and receives the broadcast data of each Bluetooth meter. The broadcast content of the Star Flash conversion device includes the meter number of the Star Flash conversion device, and the Bluetooth collector obtains the meter number broadcast by the Star Flash conversion device. In this example, there are a total of 10 Bluetooth water meters that cannot communicate with the Bluetooth collector, each of which has a corresponding meter number, which is the identification.

[0113] 2) If the Bluetooth collector fails to normally collect broadcast data of m Bluetooth water meters for two consecutive days, the Bluetooth collector determines that the connection with the m Bluetooth water meters has failed, where m is a positive integer not greater than 10.

[0114] 3) When the Bluetooth collector determines that the connection with the Bluetooth water meter fails, the Bluetooth collector searches for the signal broadcast by the Star Flash conversion device, receives the number broadcast by the Star Flash conversion device, connects to the Star Flash conversion device according to the number, sends an instruction to turn on the meter reading function of the Star Flash conversion device for the abnormal Bluetooth water meter, and records the MAC address of the Star Flash conversion device at the same time.

[0115] Step 4) Reference Figure 4As shown, after receiving the instruction from the Bluetooth collector, the Star Flash conversion device turns on the meter reading scheduled upload function. According to the meter number of the abnormal Bluetooth water meter sent by the Bluetooth collector received by the Star Flash conversion device (the Bluetooth collector can send the meter numbers of up to 20 Bluetooth water meters), the scanning function is turned on every hour to collect the broadcast data of the abnormal Bluetooth water meter. In addition, the Star Flash conversion device connects to the abnormal Bluetooth water meter, obtains the data of the previous two days, and stores it in the internal temporary storage module; the Star Flash conversion device turns on the compensation function, and sends the water meter data of the latest two days stored in the temporary storage module to the Bluetooth collector to complete the meter data not received by the Bluetooth collector.

[0116] like Figure 4 As shown, the broadcast content of each Bluetooth meter includes the meter number, cumulative amount, battery voltage and meter status. The star flash conversion device scans and receives the broadcast data of each Bluetooth meter, and then sends the obtained Bluetooth meter data to the Bluetooth collector.

[0117] Step 5) The Star Flash conversion device will broadcast the collected Bluetooth water meter data through the Star Flash physical layer, still relying on the Bluetooth protocol, every two seconds. The broadcast data is the meter number and data of a Bluetooth water meter. It will be broadcasted 10 times in a row, and then switch to broadcast the next Bluetooth water meter, and then poll and broadcast the data of all Bluetooth water meters in turn. Since the Star Flash physical layer has a stronger penetration ability, the Bluetooth collector can receive the broadcast data of the Star Flash conversion device at a longer distance.

[0118] Step 6) The Bluetooth collector continues to scan and receive the broadcast data of all Bluetooth water meters every 4 hours (currently the data is broadcast by the Star Flash conversion device switching the Bluetooth water meter number in sequence), obtains the data of all Bluetooth water meters, and reports it to the system end.

[0119] Step 7) Due to environmental changes, such as the Bluetooth water meter's well becoming dry, or the well cover being free of foreign matter, the Bluetooth water meter's broadcast transmission range is restored to a level that can be received by the Bluetooth collector. In this case, the following two processing methods can be used:

[0120] Method 1: The Bluetooth collector identifies the MAC address of the Bluetooth water meter broadcast data (each Bluetooth water meter or Star Flash conversion device has a unique MAC address). If the broadcast data of 10 meters can be scanned and read normally, the MAC address of the Star Flash conversion device is connected and the data forwarding function of the Star Flash conversion device is turned off.

[0121] Method 2: When the Xingshan conversion device forwards the Bluetooth water meter data, the Xingshan conversion device number is added to the broadcast data content to prompt that the data is forwarded by the Xingshan conversion device, that is, the broadcast data is: Xingshan conversion device number, Bluetooth water meter number, cumulative amount, battery voltage, meter status. When the Bluetooth collector can normally scan and read the broadcast data of 10 meters, the Bluetooth collector searches for the Xingshan conversion device number, connects to the Xingshan conversion device, and sends a command to turn off the data forwarding function of the Xingshan conversion device.

[0122] After the data forwarding function of the Star Flash conversion device is turned off, it returns to the state where the conversion function is not turned on. The Star Flash conversion device only needs to broadcast its own number and does not need to scan the Bluetooth water meter, so the power consumption is low.

[0123] The Star Flash conversion device is equipped with a Star Flash SLE interface. The application of the Star Flash SLE interface is mainly based on Bluetooth technology, using Polar channel coding to improve transmission reliability, reduce retransmission and save power consumption, while supporting a maximum transmission bandwidth of 4MHz, a maximum of 8PSK modulation, 1-to-many reliable multicast, 4KHz short-delay interaction, secure pairing, privacy protection and other features, while ensuring transmission efficiency as much as possible, fully considering energy-saving factors.

[0124] In the scenario of this example, a solution combining a short-range wireless remote water meter and a collection device is adopted, and the Bluetooth collector is installed at the wellhead (where the network signal is better). In the event of Bluetooth communication failure, the star flash conversion device can be used to collect data from the Bluetooth water meter, and by judging the reported data, it can be identified whether the Bluetooth communication is normal, and whether the communication between the Bluetooth collector and the water meter has returned to normal, thereby effectively improving the success rate of meter reading for water meters in underground wells or other environments with poor signals.

[0125] Compared with Bluetooth, Star Flash technology has the advantages of low latency (Star Flash latency is a few ms, Bluetooth latency is tens of ms), high anti-interference performance (Star Flash adopts the method of integrating scanning channels and shielding interference channels, which has super anti-interference performance and is 10dB better than Bluetooth's adaptive AFH frequency hopping method), and stronger penetration ability (at the same 3Mbps throughput rate, the sensitivity is 7.5dB better than Bluetooth, and can penetrate one more glass window or metal door). The application of Star Flash technology solves the problem of Bluetooth instrument matching Bluetooth collector in related technologies, unstable communication, and inability to report data completely and accurately.
