Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric energy information collection, and specifically to an IOT edge communication base station for driving the verification of electric energy meters by flexible manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] At present, industrial Internet of Things and edge computing technologies have been widely applied in many industrial scenarios such as intelligent manufacturing and energy power. However, there are some obvious defects in the existing industrial Internet of Things communication base station and edge computing integration system: Poor protocol conversion efficiency: When the traditional protocol conversion mechanism processes the conversion between industrial fieldbus protocols (such as Modbus, OPC UA) and Internet of Things protocols (such as MQTT), the efficiency is very low. Through actual tests, the average processing delay of its requests is as high as 1334.80 ms. Moreover, the resource occupancy rate of this conversion mechanism is relatively high, and the memory occupancy reaches 28 MB / second, which causes the performance of the system to drop significantly when dealing with high-concurrency industrial data.

[0003] Too high video stream transmission delay: In the video monitoring application in the industrial field, when using the traditional H.264 encoding combined with the RTSP protocol for video stream transmission, the end-to-end delay is generally above 500 ms. When the resolution of the video stream reaches 1080P and the bit rate is 4 Mbps, the delay even exceeds 800 ms; such a high delay seriously affects the effects of real-time monitoring and remote operation.

[0004] Insufficient security protection ability: The existing security protection system mainly relies on the RSA-2048 encryption algorithm and the static key management method. In the face of quantum computing attacks, the security of this encryption method will be seriously threatened. According to statistics, 76.6% of industrial network attack events are caused by key leakage or the cracking of encryption algorithms. In addition, the existing security protection system lacks an effective dynamic defense mechanism and cannot respond to new network attack means in a timely manner.

[0005] The existence of these problems severely restricts the further popularization and application of industrial Internet of Things and edge computing technologies in the industrial field. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent edge computing system that can support multi-protocol adaptation, low-delay streaming media processing, dynamic encryption, and digital twin modeling to solve the deficiencies in the existing technology and improve the performance and security of industrial Internet of Things and edge computing systems. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

In actual industrial scenarios, data messages of multiple protocols will be transmitted to the adaptive protocol conversion engine in real time. The decision tree will perform dynamic classification operations according to the characteristics of these real-time input messages. Moreover, the decision tree is based on a distributed design to connect to the MQTT Broker cluster and supports Docker / Kubernetes containerized deployment. This architecture enables the decision tree to flexibly handle protocol data processing requirements of different scales and complexities; The adaptive protocol conversion engine realizes automatic protocol feature recognition through dynamic decision tree classification, and the specific process includes the following steps: S100 Message reception, supports multi-format message input of Modbus RTU / ASCII, OPC UA Binary / XML, MQTT v3.1.1 / v5.0, and adopts an asynchronous IO queue mechanism to implement message buffer processing; S200 Protocol feature extraction.

Among them, the architecture of the decision tree is: Root node: Protocol type identification Intermediate node: Feature parameter verification (such as Modbus function code range, OPC UA message header length) Leaf node: Protocol matching result; Specifically, when a new message is input, starting from the root node, according to the protocol features of the message, continuously perform feature parameter verification at the intermediate node, and then dynamically move to the corresponding leaf node to determine the protocol type. For example, different Modbus function codes will guide the message to different paths for matching, achieving the effect of dynamic classification.

IBE encryption is used for sensitive data, and AES-256 encryption is used for ordinary data; The system adopts an edge-cloud collaborative architecture.
