Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of monitoring equipment installation, and in particular to an automatic installation system and an automatic installation box for monitoring equipment. Background Art

[0002] Monitoring equipment registration refers to the equipment installation engineer installing the monitoring equipment or sensor equipment at the designated location and activating it for use, and then reporting the relevant registration information to the service platform according to standard procedures. The service platform determines that the monitoring equipment is operating normally and collecting data at the designated location based on the registration information. Only then will the service platform process the test data collected by the monitoring equipment. If the monitoring equipment does not pass the registration process, the service platform will ignore the test data collected by the monitoring equipment even if it can receive it.

[0003] Usually, equipment installation engineers need to undergo special installation and registration process training before carrying out their business. The standard installation and registration process requires equipment installation engineers to at least perform a number of operations including activation and installation of monitoring equipment, system login to the service platform, collection of monitoring equipment information, and positioning of the installation location. Some registration processes even require uploading photos of the installation status of the monitoring equipment.

[0004] At present, since the installation of monitoring equipment has a certain business operation threshold, equipment installation engineers need to spend a certain amount of time on installation training before actually installing and installing the monitoring equipment. However, since equipment installation engineers are often not full-time but part-time and have a high mobility, the cost of training is too high. There is an urgent need to simplify the installation process of monitoring equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to avoid the shortcomings of the background technology, the present invention provides an automatic reporting system and an automatic reporting box for monitoring equipment, which can simplify the reporting process and improve the installation efficiency.

[0006] The present invention proposes an automatic reporting system for monitoring equipment, comprising an automatic reporting box and a service platform. The automatic reporting box comprises a box body, a microcontroller module, and an equipment detection module, a positioning module and a mobile communication module connected to the microcontroller module. The box body is provided with a plurality of cavities that can accommodate a single monitoring equipment. The microcontroller module pre-stores the cavity position serial number of each cavity and the equipment information of the monitoring equipment stored in the cavity and corresponding to the cavity. The equipment detection module is used to detect whether there is a monitoring equipment in the cavity. When the equipment detection module detects that a monitoring equipment is taken out of a cavity, the microcontroller module obtains the location information through the positioning module, and uploads the reporting information, the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position serial number of the cavity and the location information to the service platform through the mobile communication module. The service platform determines that the monitoring equipment has completed the reporting process according to the reporting information, the equipment information of the monitoring equipment and the location information of the automatic reporting box.

[0007] Furthermore, the automatic packing box also includes a wireless radio frequency transceiver module; the automatic packing box is used to receive the wireless radio frequency signal sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module.

[0008] Furthermore, the automatic reporting box is used to receive the wireless radio frequency signal including the heartbeat information sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module, and upload it to the service platform through the mobile communication module; the service platform determines the operation status of the monitoring device according to the heartbeat information of the monitoring device.

[0009] Furthermore, when the automatic reporting box detects through the equipment detection module that a monitoring device is loaded into a certain cavity and at the same time obtains the wireless radio frequency signal including equipment information and special status information sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module, the automatic reporting box records and saves the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity; the special status information is sleep information, frequency reduction information or shutdown information.

[0010] Furthermore, the device detection module is a magnetic state detection module, a proximity detection sensor, a pressure detection sensor, a current detection sensor, a capacitance detection sensor or a voltage detection sensor.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a fixed gateway, which is used to receive the heartbeat information of the monitoring device and upload it to the service platform. When the service platform receives the heartbeat information of the monitoring device for the first time through the fixed gateway, it determines the location information of the monitoring device for a second time based on the location information of the fixed gateway and records the heartbeat information of the monitoring device.

[0012] Furthermore, the automatic reporting box also includes a display screen and a speaker connected to the microcontroller module. The display screen is used to display the position information, the cavity position number and the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number. The display screen is also used to dynamically display or display the changes and reporting status of the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number with special effects. The speaker is used to emit a prompt sound effect.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a handheld device, which includes a camera module and a short-range wireless communication module. The handheld device is used to obtain installation photos of the monitoring equipment through the camera module and upload them to the automatic reporting box through the short-range wireless communication module; the automatic reporting box also includes a short-range wireless communication module connected to the microcontroller module, and receives installation photos of the monitoring equipment through the short-range wireless communication module and uploads them to the service platform; the box body has a second cavity that can accommodate the handheld device.

[0014] The present invention also proposes an automatic reporting box, including a box body, a microcontroller module, and a device detection module, a positioning module and a mobile communication module connected to the microcontroller module, wherein the box body is provided with a plurality of cavities that can accommodate a single monitoring device; the microcontroller module pre-stores the cavity position number of each cavity and the device information of the monitoring device stored in the cavity and corresponding to the cavity; the device detection module is used to detect whether there is a monitoring device in the cavity; when the device detection module detects that a monitoring device has been taken out of a cavity, the microcontroller module obtains the location information through the positioning module, and uploads the reporting information, the device information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity, and the location information through the mobile communication module.

[0015] Furthermore, the automatic packing box also includes a wireless radio frequency transceiver module; the automatic packing box is used to receive wireless radio frequency signals sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module; when the automatic packing box detects through the equipment detection module that a monitoring device is loaded into a certain cavity and at the same time obtains the wireless radio frequency signal including equipment information and special status information sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module, the automatic packing box records and saves the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the system can automatically realize the entire application process, and there is no need for the equipment installation engineer to log in to the service platform through mobile phones or other means to perform the application process. When the equipment installation engineer needs to install multiple monitoring devices within a period of time, the omitted application process can save a lot of time and improve installation efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] For example, see the attached Figure 1 A monitoring equipment automatic reporting system includes an automatic reporting box 10 and a service platform 20. The automatic reporting box 10 includes a box body, a microcontroller module 11, and a device detection module 12, a positioning module 13 and a mobile communication module 14 connected to the microcontroller module 11; the box body has a plurality of cavities that can accommodate a single monitoring device, and the monitoring device can be fixedly placed in the cavity; the microcontroller module 11 pre-stores the cavity position number of each cavity and the device information of the monitoring device stored in the cavity and corresponding to the cavity; the device detection module 12 is used to detect whether there is a monitoring device in the cavity; in this embodiment, the device detection module 12 can detect whether there is a monitoring device in the cavity through various different principles, and the non-contact detection can be performed through a proximity sensor, such as Capacitive proximity sensors, inductive proximity sensors, photoelectric proximity sensors and Hall proximity sensors, etc.; contact types can be detected by magnetic state detection modules, pressure detection sensors, current detection sensors and voltage detection sensors, etc.; some of the detection methods require the monitoring device to have a corresponding structure to be implemented; when the equipment detection module 12 detects that a monitoring device is taken out of a cavity, the microcontroller module 11 obtains the location information through the positioning module 13, and uploads the reporting information, the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity, and the location information to the service platform 20 through the mobile communication module 14; the service platform 20 determines that the monitoring device has completed the reporting process based on the reporting information, the equipment information of the monitoring device and the location information of the automatic reporting box 10.

[0020] The working principle of the system in this embodiment: The automatic reporting box 10 has several cavities for placing monitoring equipment, each cavity has a corresponding cavity position number. If a monitoring device is placed in a cavity, the automatic reporting box 10 will also pre-store the device number corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity. When the equipment installation engineer takes out the monitoring equipment from a cavity, the automatic reporting box 10 that has been set up can detect that the monitoring equipment in the cavity has been taken out through the equipment detection module 12. At this time, the automatic reporting box 10 obtains the location information through the positioning module 13, and then uploads the reporting information, the device information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity, and the location information to the service platform 20 through the mobile communication module 14; and the service platform 20 determines that the monitoring equipment has completed the reporting process based on the reporting information, the equipment information of the monitoring equipment and the location information of the automatic reporting box 10, thereby automating the entire reporting process, and there is no need for the equipment installation engineer to log in to the service platform 20 through a mobile phone or other means to perform the reporting process. When the equipment installation engineer needs to install multiple monitoring devices within a period of time, the omitted reporting process can save a lot of time and improve installation efficiency.

[0021] In this embodiment, the automatic reporting box 10 also includes a wireless radio frequency transceiver module 15; the automatic reporting box 10 is used to receive the wireless radio frequency signal sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module 15. Specifically, the automatic reporting box 10 is used to receive the wireless radio frequency signal including the heartbeat information sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module 15, and then remind the equipment installation engineer through sound and light that the monitoring device has been taken out and the monitoring device can send a signal normally; at the same time, the automatic reporting box 10 can also upload the heartbeat information sent by the monitoring device to the service platform 20 through the mobile communication module 14, and the service platform 20 determines the operation status of the monitoring device according to the heartbeat information of the monitoring device.

[0022] In this embodiment, if a monitoring device is placed in a cavity, the automatic reporting box 10 will pre-store the equipment number of the monitoring device corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity. Generally speaking, when the cavity of the automatic reporting box 10 is placed with a monitoring device, the storage of the equipment number allows relevant personnel to input the equipment number by wireless means, that is, by connecting the automatic reporting box 10 with a mobile phone through the service platform 20, or by wired means, that is, by connecting the automatic reporting box 10 with a mobile phone. However, in fact, both of the above methods are relatively cumbersome, especially when the automatic reporting box 10 is placed with a dozen or even dozens of monitoring devices at one time, it takes a lot of time to input the equipment number. In this embodiment, a simple device number input method is provided. Specifically, when the automatic reporting box 10 detects that a monitoring device is loaded into a certain cavity through the device detection module 12 and obtains the wireless radio frequency signal including device information and special status information sent by the monitoring device through the wireless radio frequency transceiver module 15, the automatic reporting box 10 records and saves the device information corresponding to the cavity position number of the cavity; wherein the special status information can be sleep information, frequency reduction information or shutdown information, and this method requires the monitoring device to have a special structure or mechanism. Generally speaking, the monitoring device needs to reduce the power consumption of the device as much as possible during the period from the qualified assembly test to the installation, otherwise it will consume power in vain and reduce the service life. That is to say, the monitoring device should be in a sleep, frequency reduction or shutdown working state when stored in the cavity of the automatic reporting box 10; then it can be set so that when the monitoring device is placed in the cavity and before entering the sleep, frequency reduction or shutdown working state, it sends a wireless radio frequency signal including device information and special status information to the outside, so as to form a linkage with the automatic reporting box 10 and input the device information into the automatic reporting box 10. Of course, the monitoring device itself cannot know whether it is placed in the cavity, but the same effect can be achieved through other means. For example, when the monitoring device is placed in the cavity of the automatic reporting box 10, the automatic reporting box 10 can detect the presence of the monitoring device through a contact or non-contact device monitoring module. Since the influence is mutual, the monitoring device can also be triggered by a contact or non-contact detection module to cause the monitoring device to send a wireless radio frequency signal and then enter a sleep, frequency reduction or shutdown working state.

[0023] In order to ensure that the monitoring equipment is actually installed at the preset installation location, the system of this embodiment also includes a fixed gateway, which is used to receive the heartbeat information of the monitoring equipment and upload it to the service platform 20; when the service platform 20 receives the heartbeat information of the monitoring equipment for the first time through the fixed gateway, it determines the location information of the monitoring equipment for a second time based on the location information of the fixed gateway and records the heartbeat information of the monitoring equipment; because the location information of the fixed gateway is determined and saved by the service platform 20, when the service platform 20 determines that the location of the fixed gateway is in the same area as the location information uploaded by the automatic reporting box 10 during reporting, it can be determined that the location information originally recorded by the monitoring equipment is true and valid.

[0024] In order to facilitate equipment installation engineers to confirm and verify relevant information of the monitoring equipment, the automatic reporting box 10 also includes a display screen and a speaker connected to the microcontroller module 11. The display screen is used to display location information, cavity position number and equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number. The display screen is also used to dynamically change or display special effects to display changes in the equipment information corresponding to the cavity position number and the reporting status. The speaker is used to emit prompt sound effects at relevant nodes.

[0025] If it is also necessary to upload photos of the installation of the monitoring equipment during the application process, the system of this embodiment also includes a handheld device specially connected to the automatic application box 10, and the handheld device includes a camera module. The handheld device is used to obtain the installation photos of the monitoring equipment through the camera module and upload them to the automatic application box 10 by wireless or wired means; the automatic application box 10 receives the installation photos of the monitoring equipment and uploads them to the service platform 20; the box body has a second cavity that can accommodate the handheld device. If a wireless method is used, the handheld device and the automatic application box 10 are required to have short-range wireless communication modules for data transmission; if a wired method is used, the handheld device and the automatic application box 10 can transmit data through a wire harness.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mobile communication module 14 can select GPRS, 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G mobile communication module 14, the short-range wireless communication module can select a WIFI module or a Bluetooth module or other wireless communication module that supports image size level transmission, and the wireless RF transceiver module 15 can select an 820M or 920M RF transceiver module.
