[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] The following describes a low-voltage circuit breaker intelligent sign device and a manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a low-voltage circuit breaker intelligent sign device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0041] shell;
[0042] A plurality of hardware devices are installed inside the housing, and the plurality of hardware devices are connected according to a preset hardware circuit diagram; wherein the plurality of hardware devices at least include a touch-type password touch screen, an electromagnetic lock, a relay and a microcontroller;
[0043] The microcontroller executes pre-written program instructions to control and coordinate the work of the touch-type password touch screen, the relay and the electromagnetic lock to determine whether to open the electromagnetic lock according to different input instructions.
[0044] It is understandable that the present invention uses ESP32 to develop and manufacture low-voltage air switch intelligent signboards, and its main functions are: realizing the locking operation function; realizing the password operation function, and only the correct password can be entered to operate; realizing the alarm function, when the non-operating operator enters the wrong password to operate the signboard, an alarm sound is issued to warn "no closing, someone is working". This is to prevent the accidental closing of the power switch during the maintenance of power station unit equipment, which causes personal injury caused by misoperation, and ensures the correctness of the power switch operation, and also facilitates the improvement of the safety of maintenance site work.
[0045] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0046] To realize the locking operation function, the electromagnetic lock control is used to realize the operation locking. The DC 12V voltage output by the lithium battery is used to power the electromagnetic lock, and an intermediate relay is added to realize the operation locking control of the electromagnetic lock.
[0047] The password operation function is realized, and the operation can only be performed after the correct password is entered. The correct password is entered through the touch-sensitive password touch screen, and the ESP32 microcontroller receives the serial port data sent by the password input screen. According to different input situations, only after the correct password is entered can the relay be controlled to trigger the electromagnetic lock to open. If the password is entered incorrectly, the electromagnetic lock cannot be opened.
[0048] The alarm function is realized. When the non-operating operator enters the wrong password and moves the sign, an alarm sound is sounded to warn "Do not close the switch, someone is working". The ESP32 microcontroller receives the serial port data sent by the password input touch screen, and decides whether to open the lock according to different password input situations. When the wrong password is entered, the text prompt LED screen is switched to display "Do not close the switch, someone is working", and the audio playback module is controlled to trigger the voice alarm "Do not close the switch, someone is working".
[0049] Specifically, the device of the present invention is implemented in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0050] First, follow Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram shown is made of an acrylic plate shell with dimensions of length (185mm), width (200mm) and height (200mm), which can ensure that the low-pressure air switch at the maintenance site of Sanghe Secondary Hydropower Station can be covered and fixed with magnets.
[0051] Secondly, according to Figure 2 The connection diagram shown connects the LED display, touch-screen password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, buzzer, magnet, ESP32 microcontroller and other accessories according to the hardware circuit diagram, firmly sticks them to the inside of the acrylic board shell, and uses lithium batteries through the step-down module to power the LED display, touch-screen password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, and ESP32 microcontroller respectively.
[0052] Specifically, the materials are: LED display, touch-sensitive password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, buzzer, magnet ESP32 microcontroller, 6000mAh lithium battery, step-down module, connecting wire, fixing tape or double-sided tape, etc. Then follow Figure 2 As shown in the connection diagram, connect the LED display, touch-type password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, buzzer, magnet, ESP32 microcontroller and other accessories according to the hardware circuit diagram. Stick all components firmly to the inside of the acrylic board shell. Use a large-capacity lithium battery to power the LED display, touch-type password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, and ESP32 microcontroller through a step-down module.
[0053] Finally, according to the pre-written Arduino program segment, the interaction with external devices (such as touch-type password touch screen, LED text prompt screen, audio playback module, relay, etc.) is realized to control the opening of the electromagnetic lock and the related display prompt functions. The ESP32 microcontroller receives the serial port data sent by the password touch-type password touch screen, decides whether to open the electromagnetic lock and switch the display page of the text prompt screen according to different input conditions, and controls the triggering and playing of the audio playback module and other operations. Figure 3 A diagram showing the connections for the ESP32 microcontroller master.
[0054] Specifically, the Arduino IDE is used to write a program to realize the interactive functions with external devices such as the touch-screen password touch screen, LED text prompt screen, audio playback module, relay, etc., including receiving serial port data sent by the touch-screen password touch screen, deciding whether to open the electromagnetic lock according to different input conditions, switching the display page of the LED text prompt screen, controlling the triggering and playback of the audio playback module, etc.
[0055] When the user enters the password through the touch-sensitive password touch screen, the ESP32 microcontroller receives the serial port data from the touch screen and determines whether the input is correct based on the preset password list.
[0056] Electromagnetic lock control: If the password verification is successful, the ESP32 microcontroller sends a signal to activate the electromagnetic lock and unlock the low-pressure air switch; otherwise, if the password is wrong, the electromagnetic lock remains locked.
[0057] Display and prompt: According to the result of password input, the LED text prompt screen will switch to the corresponding prompt page. For example, when an incorrect password is entered, the display page of the text prompt LED screen will switch to display "Do not close the switch, someone is working".
[0058] Exemplarily, in response to the password verification result, the ESP32 microcontroller issues a switching instruction to control the LED display screen to switch to a corresponding text prompt page.
[0059] Sound feedback: During the password verification process, the buzzer will sound a sound prompt in certain situations, such as an alarm sound when the password is wrong.
[0060] Exemplarily, in response to the password verification result, the ESP32 microcontroller issues a control instruction to control the buzzer to issue an alarm prompt.
[0061] Other interactions: The device also reserves control interfaces for the audio playback module and relays, which can be expanded with more functions as needed, such as voice prompts, remote control, etc.
[0062] Exemplarily, in response to the password verification result, the ESP32 microcontroller sends a play instruction to the audio playback module through the serial port, and controls the audio playback module to issue a voice prompt.
[0063] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present invention manufactures an acrylic plate shell of a special device, which includes an LED display screen (1), a touch-type password touch screen (1), an electromagnetic lock (1), a buzzer (1), magnets (4), an ESP32 microcontroller (1) and other accessories.
[0064] The specific structure of the embodiment of the present invention is to first design a special acrylic plate shell for the smart signboard, and the size is made into length (185mm), width (200mm), and height (200mm), preferably to cover the power switch, leaving a margin of less than 10%.
[0065] The acrylic plate housing, LED display, touch-type password touch screen, electromagnetic lock, buzzer, magnet, ESP32 microcontroller and other accessories of the embodiment of the present invention need to be firmly pasted and beautiful.
[0066] The device of the embodiment of the present invention is powered by a lithium battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh.
[0067] After the power switch is turned off, the embodiment of the present invention uses the smart sign to cover it and fix it with a magnet. When the power switch is to be operated, the correct password needs to be entered to unlock the smart sign, thereby realizing the locking operation and ensuring the correctness of the power switch operation.
[0068] Based on this, the present invention can realize the locking operation function; realize the password operation function, and the operation can be performed only when the correct password is entered; realize the alarm function, when the non-operating personnel enter the wrong password to activate the signboard, an alarm sound is issued to warn "no closing, someone is working". The present invention can prevent the accidental closing of the power switch during the maintenance of power station equipment, which may cause personal injury caused by the wrong operation, and ensure the correctness of the power switch operation, and also facilitate the improvement of the safety of the maintenance site work.
[0069] According to the low-voltage air switch intelligent signboard device of the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the correctness of the power switch operation and the work safety of the on-site personnel, the device is used as a special warning signboard for locking operation after the power switch is disconnected during the unit maintenance work, which ensures the correctness of the operation and creates a safe working environment for the maintenance personnel. The device is easy to use and flexible, and effectively avoids unsafe incidents such as misoperation by personnel.
