[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the meter monitoring device is used to monitor the meter, including: a containing structure 10, a sealing structure 20, an identification structure 30, a controller and a power supply. The containing structure 10 includes a shell 11 and a cover 12, and a containing space 13 is provided between the shell 11 and the cover 12. The sealing structure 20 is arranged between the shell 11 and the cover 12. The identification structure 30 is arranged in the containing space 13 and extends out of the shell 11. The controller is arranged in the containing space 13 and is electrically connected to the identification structure 30. The power supply is arranged in the containing space 13.

[0029] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the containing structure 10 includes a shell 11 and a cover body 12, and a containing space 13 is provided between the shell 11 and the cover body 12. The sealing structure 20 is arranged between the shell 11 and the cover body 12, and the identification structure, the controller and the power supply are all arranged in the containing space 13, and the identification structure 30 extends out of the shell 11. The controller is electrically connected to the identification structure 30. The power supply can supply power to the controller and the identification structure 30. Through the above-mentioned setting, a meter monitoring device is added to the outside of the meter, which can not only monitor the operating status of the meter in real time, but also automatically read the meter data through the identification structure 30, effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of data collection. The design of the sealing structure 20 ensures the waterproof performance of the meter monitoring device, and it can operate stably even in severe weather conditions. On the whole, this solution improves the intelligent level of meter management, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances data security. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem that it is difficult for meters in related technologies to achieve real-time detection.

[0030] Specifically, through this design, the meter monitoring device can effectively protect the internal electronic components from the influence of the external environment, ensure the continuity and accuracy of data collection, and is suitable for meter monitoring in various complex outdoor environments. The implementation effect of this design is remarkable, which can greatly reduce the failure rate of data collection caused by environmental factors and improve the stability and reliability of meter monitoring. Application scenarios include but are not limited to urban public power grids, rural power grids, industrial electricity monitoring, etc., especially in outdoor or harsh environments, such as deserts, mountains, coastal areas, etc., the protective performance of the device will play an important role to ensure the continuity and accuracy of data.

[0031] The controller is a central processing unit (MCU) that supports RTOS and has sufficient RAM and Flash space. Make sure the MCU supports the required peripheral interfaces, such as SPI / I 2 C / UART, etc., in order to communicate with sensors and other modules. The recognition structure 30 includes a sensor, a lens and an analog-to-digital converter, and the analog-to-digital converter integrates an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) to convert analog signals into digital signals.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the meter monitoring device further includes a fill light structure 40 , which is disposed inside the accommodating space 13 and extends out of the housing 11 , and is located on the side of the identification structure 30 .

[0033] The addition of the fill-light structure 40 enables the identification structure 30 to clearly read the meter data even in low-light environments, thereby improving the reliability of data collection, and is particularly suitable for meter monitoring at night or in dark places. In practical applications, the design of the fill-light structure 40 greatly enhances the all-weather capability of meter data reading. Even at night or in a dark basement, the fill-light structure 40 can provide sufficient light to ensure that the identification structure 30 reads the meter data accurately, providing technical support for full-time power monitoring. Application scenarios include but are not limited to 24-hour uninterrupted power monitoring, basement power facility monitoring, etc., especially at night or in low-light environments, the fill-light function of the device will play an important role in ensuring the continuity and accuracy of data collection.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of fill-in light structures 40 , and the plurality of fill-in light structures 40 are disposed around the outer periphery of the identification structure 30 .

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing structure 20 includes a sealing ring 21, which is a wavy structure. The sealing ring 21 is arranged around and squeezed between the housing 11 and the cover 12. The design of the wavy sealing ring 21 enhances the waterproof and dustproof performance of the meter monitoring device, and can ensure the normal operation of the internal components of the meter monitoring device even in rainy, snowy or dusty environments, and is suitable for meter monitoring under severe weather conditions. At the same time, the design of the wavy sealing ring 21 also reduces the problem of reduced sealing performance due to long-term use, and extends the service life of the meter monitoring device. Application scenarios include but are not limited to rainy areas, desert areas with frequent sandstorms, and heavily polluted industrial areas. Especially under severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, heavy snow, sandstorms, etc., the waterproof and dustproof performance of the meter monitoring device will play an important role, ensuring that the meter monitoring device can operate continuously and stably, and provide accurate data support for the power system.

[0036] Specifically, in the direction from the outer shell 11 to the cover body 12 , the area enclosed by the sealing ring 21 gradually decreases.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the sealing ring 21 is between 1 mm and 3.5 mm. A reasonable thickness of the sealing ring 21 can ensure a good sealing effect without increasing the weight and cost of the meter monitoring device too much, so that the meter monitoring device is easier to install and maintain while ensuring performance, and is suitable for monitoring needs of various meters. Specifically, the reasonable thickness range of this design not only ensures the sealing performance of the meter monitoring device, but also takes into account the portability and economy of the meter monitoring device, providing users with a higher cost performance. Application scenarios include but are not limited to different types of meter monitoring such as household electricity, commercial electricity, and industrial electricity. Especially in scenarios that require frequent movement or temporary installation, such as temporary construction sites, outdoor activity venues, etc., the portability and easy maintainability of the device will play an important role, which not only ensures the continuity of data collection, but also reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, an outer convex connection portion 111 is provided on the housing 11, and the meter monitoring device also includes a connecting frame, and the outer convex connection portion 111 is connected to the connecting frame. The above-mentioned connection method allows the meter monitoring device to be firmly fixed on the meter to avoid displacement of the meter monitoring device due to external vibration or impact. Specifically, through the combination of the outer convex connection portion 111 and the connecting frame, the connection between the meter monitoring device and the meter is more stable, which effectively prevents the meter monitoring device from falling off due to vibration or impact, reduces the maintenance frequency, and improves the continuity of meter monitoring. Application scenarios include but are not limited to power facility monitoring in earthquake-prone areas, urban public power grids with busy traffic, etc., especially in earthquake-prone areas or busy traffic areas, the stability of the device will play an important role, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of meter data collection, and providing protection for the safe operation of the power system.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the meter monitoring device also includes a solar panel, which is connected to a power source. The use of solar panels enables the meter monitoring device to be powered by renewable energy, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also can operate normally in remote areas or places without power supply, and is suitable for monitoring meters in areas with abundant solar energy resources or in the field. The addition of solar panels not only reduces the dependence on traditional electricity, but also reduces the operating cost of the meter monitoring device, providing a sustainable energy solution for meter monitoring in remote areas. Application scenarios include but are not limited to remote mountainous areas, field work sites, desert areas with abundant solar energy, etc., especially in areas with inconvenient power supply, such as unmanned remote outposts, expedition camps, etc. The solar power supply function of the device will play an important role, ensuring that the meter monitoring device can operate continuously and stably, and providing a stable energy guarantee for power data collection.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the meter monitoring device also includes a connecting structure 50, and the connecting structure 50 is arranged between the housing 11 and the cover body 12, and the connecting structure 50 includes a magnetic structure, a snap structure or a fastener. The diversified design of the connecting structure makes the installation and disassembly of the meter monitoring device more convenient and quick, and is suitable for scenarios where monitoring equipment needs to be frequently replaced. It also improves the installation flexibility of the device and simplifies the operation process, providing users with a more convenient user experience. Application scenarios include but are not limited to rental houses, short-term project sites, etc., especially in rental housing scenarios, when tenants are frequently changed, the quick disassembly and assembly function of the device will play an important role, reducing the time and cost waste caused by the replacement of meter monitoring equipment, and improving the efficiency and intelligence level of rental management.

[0041] Specifically, the technical solution of this embodiment significantly improves the battery life, and adopts the hybrid power supply mode of "solar panel + power supply", and the battery life of a single full charge can reach more than 3 years. Solar energy is a renewable clean energy. Solar panels can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the power supply. Since the solar panels can continuously charge the power supply, the equipment can be kept running for a long time even without an external power supply. This design makes the device no longer dependent on frequent battery replacement or charging of the device, greatly extending the battery life and meeting the needs of long-term unattended operation in the energy field.

[0042] At the same time, the product structure is optimized to solve the problem of safe operation of lithium batteries under long-term outdoor exposure. Power supplies are prone to thermal runaway in high-temperature environments, and may even cause safety accidents such as fires. The technical solution of this embodiment improves the product structure and adds a heat dissipation design (built-in metal heat sink) to ensure that the power supply can still operate safely in a high-temperature environment. This not only improves the safety of the equipment, but also enables the device to work stably in various harsh environments.

[0043] The optimized product structure enhances the adaptability to outdoor environments. The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, including high temperature, humidity, dust and other factors that may affect the normal operation of the equipment. By adopting waterproof and dustproof design and enhancing heat dissipation performance, the solar panels are designed to be affixed with 5 transparent films before leaving the factory, which is convenient for cleaning solar panels exposed to outdoor exposure for a long time (the design is that personnel will visit the site once a year and tear off the old film after arrival), so that it can withstand more severe environmental conditions. This not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0044] While maintaining miniaturization, the battery life and environmental adaptability are improved. Although the prior art has achieved the miniaturization of the device, it has deficiencies in battery life and environmental adaptability. The technical solution of this embodiment not only solves these problems by introducing solar power supply technology and optimizing the product structure design, but also maintains the compact and portable characteristics of the device. This means that users can enjoy a more reliable and durable monitoring device that is easy to carry and can work under various conditions.

[0045] Extended battery life and enhanced environmental adaptability reduce the number of maintenance times. The overall solution adopts a long-life power supply solution and a rugged design. The monitoring device of this embodiment can be operated without human intervention for a longer period of time, reducing the need for regular battery replacement or equipment repair. This is especially important for equipment deployed in remote areas or places that are difficult to reach, as each maintenance requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0046] The technical solution of this embodiment adopts a modular design and is fixed to the commissioned instrument or objects around the instrument through a metal bracket (connection frame); supports 4G (APN card) communication, and can be connected to the Internet of Things platform through the APN card to achieve background online intelligent meter reading in accordance with the network security requirements of the substation; supports waterproof and dustproof IP66 level, which can ensure the indiscriminate image acquisition effect when condensation or impurities fall into the outdoor temperature difference; supports low-power standby capability, combined with external solar panel power supply, normal standby life of 3 years or more; supports terminal real-time and scheduled monitoring functions, and can set the reading time according to the on-site conditions. Under abnormal circumstances, it meets the remote real-time monitoring function and provides past (such as monthly) monitoring data trends to help find the cause of the problem.

[0047] According to another aspect of the present application, a meter monitoring system is provided. The meter monitoring system of this embodiment includes a meter monitoring device, and the meter monitoring device is the above-mentioned meter monitoring device. By constructing a complete monitoring system, not only the automatic collection of meter data is realized, but also the data can be analyzed and processed in real time, providing more comprehensive and in-depth support for power management, and is suitable for remote monitoring and data analysis of power companies. The construction of this monitoring system realizes the automatic collection and intelligent analysis of meter data, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of power management. Application scenarios include but are not limited to the remote monitoring center, power dispatching room, power data analysis department, etc. of the power company. Especially in the centralized management scenario of the power company, the real-time data transmission and analysis capabilities of the system will play an important role, helping the power company to promptly discover and deal with power problems, optimize the allocation of power resources, and improve the stability and reliability of the power system operation.

[0048] The meter monitoring system includes a cloud platform and a communication module, and the communication module can transmit the data collected by the identification structure 30 to the cloud platform. The application of the cloud platform makes the storage and processing of data more efficient, and can also realize remote access and sharing of data, which is suitable for cross-regional power management, such as data synchronization and analysis of multinational power companies. The addition of the cloud platform not only provides powerful data storage and processing capabilities, but also realizes remote monitoring and intelligent analysis of data, providing technical support for the power management of multinational power companies. Application scenarios include but are not limited to remote monitoring centers of multinational power companies, international power dispatching rooms, global power data analysis departments, etc., especially in the scenario of multinational power management, the data synchronization and analysis functions of the cloud platform will play an important role, helping multinational power companies to achieve optimal allocation of global power resources and improve the efficiency and intelligence level of power system operation.

[0049] Specifically, the role of the cloud platform is to centrally manage the data of all monitoring devices and provide visualization tools to help users understand the data.

[0050] The principle of the cloud platform: Through the web application or mobile application, users can log in to the cloud platform to view historical records, set alarm conditions, download reports, etc.

[0052] Technical features of the communication module: support wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, NB-IoT, etc.

[0053] The function of the communication module is to transmit the processed data to the remote server or cloud platform to realize remote monitoring and management of the data.

[0054] Principle of the communication module: The communication module sends data packets through wireless signals. These data packets reach the destination through the Internet and usually require the cooperation of cloud server applications to receive and parse the data.

[0055] The communication module may adopt wireless communication or an antenna.

[0056] The meter monitoring system also includes an alarm module, which is connected to the cloud platform and the controller. The addition of the alarm module can monitor the abnormal conditions of the meter in real time and issue an alarm in time, which improves the safety and response speed of the power system and is suitable for the safety monitoring of power facilities, such as abnormal warning of power substations. The real-time monitoring and early warning functions of the alarm module greatly improve the safety and response speed of the power system and provide strong technical support for the safety monitoring of power facilities. Application scenarios include but are not limited to power substations, transmission lines, important power users, etc. Especially in the scenario of power facility safety monitoring, the abnormal early warning function of the alarm module will play an important role, helping power companies to detect and handle power failures in a timely manner, prevent the occurrence of power accidents, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0057] Technical features of the alarm module: including visual or audible alarms, such as LED lights or buzzers.

[0058] The function of the alarm module: to sound an alarm when an abnormal situation is detected to alert the user.

[0059] Principle of the alarm module: When the control system detects that the meter data exceeds the preset normal range, it will trigger the alarm device to work and prompt the user through LED flashing or buzzing.

[0060] The meter monitoring device as a whole is based on a stable and reliable Internet of Things technology framework and adopts an RTOS operating system.

[0061] In general, the technical solution of this embodiment can not only monitor the operating status of the meter in real time by adding a meter monitoring device outside the meter, but also automatically read the meter data through the identification structure 30, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of data collection. The design of the wavy sealing ring 21 ensures the waterproof performance of the meter monitoring device, and it can operate stably even under severe weather conditions. The addition of solar panels makes the energy supply of the meter monitoring device more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The diversified design of the connection structure 50 makes the installation of the meter monitoring device more flexible and adaptable to the needs of different scenarios. On the whole, this solution improves the intelligent level of meter management, reduces maintenance costs, enhances data security, and has a significant role in promoting the modernization of power systems. In addition, through the combination with the cloud platform, remote monitoring and intelligent analysis of data are realized, which further improves the efficiency and intelligence of power management and provides strong technical support for the digital transformation of the power industry. In practical applications, the implementation effect and application scenarios of the system are very extensive, which can not only effectively improve the intelligent level of power management, but also greatly reduce maintenance costs and enhance data security, which has a significant role in promoting the modernization of power systems. Application scenarios include but are not limited to urban power grids, rural power grids, industrial power facilities, commercial buildings, etc. Especially in the context of increasing demand for modern management of power systems, such as smart grid construction and power big data analysis, the comprehensive advantages of the system will play an important role in providing power operators with real-time and accurate meter data, helping them optimize power resource allocation, improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the power system, and promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the power industry.
