[0012] The present invention combines the network interface type with the signal number, so as to quickly and accurately identify the source and type of each digital signal, thereby simplifying the signal processing process; by numbering the digital signals, the orderliness and integrity of the data are ensured, which helps to detect and correct any potential data loss or disorder problems during data transmission or processing.

[0013] Preferably, the determining whether to add a repeater in the transmission path includes:

[0014] Obtain the transmission distance of the digital signal from the database; determine whether the transmission distance exceeds the equivalent distance; if yes, a repeater needs to be added; if no, a repeater does not need to be added;

[0018] By setting a distance threshold, the present invention can ensure that the digital signal will not attenuate to an unacceptable level during transmission due to excessive distance. Once the transmission distance exceeds the threshold, adding a repeater in time can effectively extend the transmission distance of the signal and ensure the integrity and clarity of the signal. At the same time, the repeater can also perform data transmission and signal conversion between different protocols to achieve interconnection between devices. In some mixed network environments, high-speed communication and low-speed communication devices coexist, and the repeater can establish a high-speed channel to improve the transmission speed of the network.

[0027] The environmental interference factor n is obtained by the formula n = 0.0001 × T + 0.001 × S + 0.001 × P - 0.01 × I;

[0028] By the formula L(d) = L(d0) + 10 m ×n×lg(d / d0) is used to calculate the path loss when the total transmission distance is d; where m is the scaling factor and the value range of m is an integer;

[0029] The attenuation coefficient is marked as a, the transmission distance is marked as CJ; the repeater and connector loss is marked as L;

[0030] By formula The attenuation coefficient is calculated.

[0031] It should be noted that when the reference distance is d0, the corresponding path loss is marked as L(d0), and the specific value of L(d0) is obtained based on preliminary experiments conducted by staff in this field.

[0061] See also Figure 2 ,The specific implementation steps of the repeater module are as follows: ,Install several wireless sensors at the head of the underground belt conveyor; ,Collect data information through the wireless sensors, retrieve the factory type number of the ,wireless sensors from the database and classify them; ,Start the machine to self-check the current type number, and ,determine the identifier of the data frame header of the sent data information through a specific ,pattern matching method; ,Wherein, the identifier includes: the factory type number, the MAC address of the ,corresponding sensor, and the type field;

[0062] Match the digital signal to the corresponding communication network, and mark the network interface type as Ai; wherein i represents the number of network interface types, i=1, 2, 3; number the digital signal in the order of acquisition time and mark it as Bi, and combine the network interface type and number as a digital signal identification mark; wherein the types of communication networks include: CAN communication network, RS485 communication network, network interface communication network;

[0063] Obtain the transmission distance of the digital signal from the database; determine whether the transmission distance exceeds the equivalent distance; if yes, a repeater needs to be added; if no, a repeater does not need to be added;

[0064] The equivalent distance is obtained by counting the number of obstacles in the transmission path and marking them as ZAi and the number of devices that need to be converted by repeaters as ZHj; marking the total section without interference factors as X; wherein the interference factors include: obstacles and signal conversion equipment;

[0065] By formula Calculate the equivalent distance between each sensor and the host;

[0066] Where i represents the number of obstacles; j represents the number of signal conversion devices; i≤n, j≤n; and the value range of i, j, and n is a positive integer; α i is the influence coefficient of the ith obstacle on signal transmission, β j is the influence coefficient of the jth signal conversion device on signal transmission, α i The specific value of is determined according to the thickness and material of the i-th obstacle; β j The specific value of is determined by those skilled in the art according to the conversion rate of the j-th signal conversion device;

[0069] Retrieve the equivalent distance and obtain the transmission range of the repeater from the database;

[0070] A preliminary estimate of the number of repeaters is obtained by dividing the equivalent distance by the transmission range of the repeater and multiplying it by the corresponding attenuation factor;

[0071] The remaining distance is calculated by subtracting the initial estimate of the number of repeaters from the total transmission distance and multiplying it by the transmission range;

[0072] Determine whether the remaining distance is greater than half of the transmission range; if so, the actual number of repeaters to be added is the initial estimated value plus one; if not, the initial estimated value of the number of repeaters is used as the actual number of repeaters to be added;

[0073] Connect the LoRa node to the sensor and determine whether the LoRa gateway starts to receive the data frame of the digital signal; if yes, transmit it to the LoRa gateway through the LoRa MAC protocol in the LoRaWAN protocol and receive the data frame of the corresponding digital signal; if no, refuse to receive the data frame of the corresponding digital signal and continue to judge.

[0074] For example, three types of sensors, numbered a, b, and c, need to be installed at the head of a belt conveyor under a mine, respectively used to detect and collect smoke, temperature, and touch, respectively; the identifier of the data frame header of the sent data information is determined by a specific pattern matching method; wherein, the identifier of the data frame header of the identification data information corresponding to sensor a includes: the factory type number is a, and the MAC address of the corresponding sensor is 00:16:EA:AE:3C:40, including: the factory type number and the type field are 0001;

[0075] The identification of the data frame header of the identification data information corresponding to sensor b includes: the factory type number is b, the MAC address of the corresponding sensor is 00:16:EA:AE:3C:41, including: the factory type number, the type field is 0002;

[0076] The identification of the data frame header of the identification data information corresponding to sensor c includes: the factory type number is c, the MAC address of the corresponding sensor is 00:16:EA:AE:3C:42, including: the factory type number, the type field is 0003;

[0077] There are five obstacles in the path of sensor a for data transmission, including two walls with a thickness of 240 mm and three walls with a thickness of 370 mm. The influence coefficient of the 240 mm thick reinforced cement-soil mixed wall on the signal is 10, and the influence coefficient of the 370 mm thick artificial board wall on the signal is 5.

[0078] There are five devices that need to use repeaters for signal conversion; among them, there are three signal converters and two network interface converters; among them, the influence coefficient of the signal converter on the signal is 8, and the influence coefficient of the network interface converter on the signal is 9;

[0079] The total section without interference factors is marked as 780m;

[0080] By formula The calculated equivalent distance between sensor a and the host is 857m;

[0081] Obtain the propagation environment factors, which include: temperature 35 (℃), relative humidity 45 (%), air pressure 1.01325×10 5 (Pa) and electromagnetic interference 1.0022×104 (dBm);

[0082] By the formula n = 0.0001 × 35 + 0.001 × 45% + 0.001 × 1.01325 × 10 5 -0.01×1.0032×10 4 The environmental interference factor n of the working frequency band of 868MHz is 1.00895;

[0083] It should be noted that the temperature T, relative humidity S, air pressure P, and the coefficients 0.0001 and 0.001 before the electromagnetic interference I are all obtained through experiments in specific experimental scenarios.

[0084] When the reference distance is 100 meters, the corresponding path loss is marked as 1 and the scaling factor m is -1;

[0085] By the formula L(d) = L(d0) + 10 m ×n×lg(d / d0)=1+10 -1 ×1.00895×lg(857 / 100) to calculate the path loss when the total transmission distance is 857m is 1.09408;

[0086] The transmission range of the repeater obtained from the database is 100m. The preliminary estimate of the number of installed repeaters is 9 units by dividing the equivalent distance 857m by the transmission range of the repeater 100m and multiplying by the corresponding attenuation coefficient 1.09408;

[0087] The total transmission distance is 857m minus the initial estimate of the number of repeaters, 9, multiplied by the transmission range of 100m, and the remaining distance is less than half of the transmission range; 9 is then taken as the actual number of repeaters to be added.

[0088] The LoRa node is connected to the three sensors respectively. If the data frame identifiers of the three sensors all conform to the specific pattern, they will be transmitted to the LoRa gateway through the LoRa MAC protocol in the LoRaWAN protocol to receive the data frames of the corresponding digital signals.

[0089] See also Figure 3 , the specific implementation steps of the LoRa gateway module are to retrieve the digital signal identification flag and determine whether there is a discontinuity in the digital signal identification flag; if yes, the digital signal received by the host is incomplete, and the number of communication interfaces available on the host is counted; if no, the digital signal received by the host is complete, and the data information corresponding to the digital signal is stored to complete the data communication;

[0090] Obtain the communication interface type and number of interfaces supported by the device from the database, and match them with the communication interface type and number of interfaces of the host; determine whether the communication interface type supported by the device is consistent with the communication interface type of the host;

[0091] If yes, it is determined whether the number of communication interfaces of the host is greater than the number of communication interfaces supported by the device; if yes, the communication network interface meets the connection requirements of the corresponding device and completes the data communication; if no, the communication network interface cannot meet the connection requirements of the corresponding device and the corresponding communication network interface is added;

[0092] If not, the communication network interface cannot meet the connection requirements of the corresponding device.

[0093] For example, the CAN communication network, RS485 communication network, and network interface communication network are marked as A1, A2, and A3 respectively; the digital signals are matched to the corresponding communication networks, and the digital signals obtained by the three sensors are numbered and marked as B1, B2, and B3 in order of the time of acquisition; the network interface type and the number are combined as a digital signal identification mark; among them, sensor a is A1B2; sensor b is A2B1; sensor c is A3B2; since B3 does not exist in the digital signal identification mark, there is a gap in the digital signal identification mark, then the communication interface types supported by the device obtained from the database are A1, A2, and A3, and the number of interfaces of the three types are 3, 6, and 13 respectively; the communication interface types of the host are A1, A2, and A3; the number of interfaces of the three types are 12, 5, and 14 respectively; since 6>5, the number of communication interfaces of the host is less than the number of communication interfaces supported by the device, then the communication network interface cannot meet the connection requirements of the corresponding device, and the corresponding communication network interface is added.
