Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial connectors, and particularly to an intelligent industrial connector and a method for controlling its use. Background Art

[0002] Generally, the sockets for power supply and distribution are usually used to distribute external power into one or more power supply interfaces to provide power supply. They have a simple structure and a single function, and cannot monitor the working status of current electrical equipment. When there are illegal acts such as using high-power electrical appliances in violation of regulations or making unauthorized connections during power consumption, remote intelligent control and data collection cannot be carried out. Although the intelligent socket products on the market can achieve simple remote power consumption monitoring and control, they cannot meet the usage requirements in industrial scenarios, and data transmission cannot be achieved in a working environment without signals, and the detected electrical parameters are limited. In addition, the electrical plug is relatively independent during use. Under the condition that the socket is normally powered, power can be obtained and cut off only by simple plugging and unplugging. There are no effective management measures during power consumption, and there are relatively large safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0020] As Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, an intelligent industrial connector includes an industrial socket 1 and an industrial plug 2 that is cooperatively connected to the industrial socket 1. One end of the industrial socket 1 is provided with an openable and closable socket end cover 3, and the other end is provided with a rear cover 14. A first circuit board 4 is arranged inside the socket end cover 3. An identity recognition module 16 and an acoustic-optic reminder module 19 are arranged on the first circuit board 4. A function button 10 connected to the first circuit board 4 is also arranged on the socket end cover 3. An identification chip 18 that matches the identity recognition module 16 is arranged inside the industrial plug 2. At least a third circuit board 20 and a fourth circuit board 21 are arranged inside the rear cover 14. An electrical parameter module and a relay control module are integrated on the third circuit board 20. A single-chip microcomputer module, a communication module, and a storage module are integrated on the fourth circuit board 21. The identity recognition module, the acoustic-optic reminder module, the function button, the electrical parameter module, the relay control module, the communication module, and the storage module are all electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer module. An insertion-in-place monitoring mechanism is further arranged between the industrial plug 2 and the industrial socket 1, and the insertion-in-place monitoring mechanism is also electrically connected to the single-chip microcomputer module.

[0021] Through the cooperative use of each circuit board, each module, and related components, this intelligent industrial connector has the functions of Internet of Things data collection and data processing, can realize power consumption behavior monitoring and early warning prompts, and realize remote intelligent control and switch-on and switch-off operations. It can also input relevant information of the current electrical equipment and operators (including special operation qualification verification) before use, realize the identity authentication of electrical equipment, effectively supervise various personnel such as operators and administrators, and reduce the safety risk of equipment power consumption.

[0022] The overall design of this intelligent industrial connector adopts a modular form, which is convenient for installation and fixation. The industrial socket and the industrial plug are respectively detachable assembly structures, which is convenient for the installation and maintenance of internal components. Integrating multiple circuit boards inside the industrial socket can not only realize various functions, but also facilitate the centralized management and maintenance of the circuit boards, and is convenient for each functional module to play its existing functional role. Moreover, it is convenient to optimize the space layout of the circuit boards and modules, and reasonably install them in the limited socket space to improve space utilization.

[0023] The industrial socket 1 and the rear cover 14 are connected by internal screws. A flange edge is arranged at the connection between the industrial socket 1 and the rear cover 14, and connection holes are opened thereon to install the entire socket at a specified position in a distribution box or a power distribution cabinet. The socket end cover is closed at the end of the industrial socket in the non-use state to protect the industrial socket. When the industrial socket needs to be used, the socket end cover is opened, and the industrial plug can be inserted. At this time, the opening side of the socket end cover will be placed on the outer periphery of the industrial plug to form a locking relationship.

[0024] The setting of the identity recognition module 16 and the recognition chip 18 can be used for the recognition of the industrial plug 2 to ensure that the used industrial plug 2 is an identifiable plug and relevant information of the industrial plug can be obtained; it can also authenticate the identity of the administrator. Setting the first circuit board 4 equipped with the identity recognition module in the socket end cover 3 can not only perform recognition at the first time when the industrial plug 2 is plugged in, but also reduce the space occupation in the rear cover 14; the sound and light reminder module 19 is also set on the first circuit board 4, and can give voice prompts and light prompts at the socket end cover 3, improving the convenience of use.

[0025] The electrical parameter module integrated on the third circuit board 20 can collect data such as current, voltage, power, and power consumption duration of the electrical equipment and feed these data back to the single-chip microcomputer module on the fourth circuit board for data transmission and processing; the relay control module can improve the safety of the entire socket.

[0026] The communication module can access the network for remote management and operation of the industrial connector, and can also use a mobile terminal to manage and operate the industrial connector to achieve remote monitoring and identity authentication. The storage module can store data and information.

[0027] The setting of the plug-in place monitoring mechanism can identify whether the industrial plug is plugged in place. Only after judging that the plugging is accurate and in place can the subsequent power supply operation be carried out to prevent virtual connection and improve the effectiveness and safety of the use of the industrial plug and socket.

[0028] Combined Figures 7 to 9 As shown, before monitoring the power consumption of the equipment, first connect the required electrical equipment to the reserved conversion interface of the industrial plug and enter the relevant parameters of the equipment and the operator information. Then connect the industrial plug to the industrial socket to start user information authentication. After verification, the seal of the electrical equipment plug is fixed inside the industrial plug to prevent random replacement. During normal power taking operation, the industrial information is read through the industrial socket. Only when the read authentication information is confirmed to be correct, the plug and the socket are normally connected. Long press the power taking function button, and the voice prompts that the plug is locked and the normal power supply function is realized. When the terminal electrical equipment is used up, long press the power off function button, and the voice prompts to unlock and pull out the industrial. When there is a network anomaly, power taking of the electrical equipment requires on-site administrators to perform card swiping verification. In case of emergency, pressing the function button simultaneously can also cause the industrial socket to automatically cut off power. The power taking function button and the power off function button can be the same function button, and different function operations can be realized according to different long press times, short press times, single click or multi-click forms, or they can be two independent buttons.

[0029] Further, the identity recognition module 16 is an RFID radio frequency module, and the recognition chip 18 is an electronic tag or a radio frequency card, which is convenient for information input and has good near-field communication and recognition effects; the sound and light reminder module 19 includes a voice broadcast module and an indicator light module. The voice broadcast module can issue operation prompts, safety prompts, status prompts, etc. according to the current operation, and the indicator light module expresses different working states by changing the light color.

[0030] Further, a fifth circuit board 24 is also provided in the rear cover 14. An isolation power module is provided on the fifth circuit board 24, and the power module supplies power to the first circuit board 4, the second circuit board 22, the third circuit board 20, the fourth circuit board 21 and various electronic components thereon.

[0031] For the industrial socket 1, it is connected to an external power supply and is connected to an industrial plug to power on the device. These are alternating currents. Through the setting of the isolation power module, on the one hand, the alternating current can be converted into low-voltage direct current for the use of electronic components in the socket, and it can also be isolated from the external power supply to avoid electrical interference and improve electrical safety.

[0032] Further, an opening is provided on one side of the socket end cover 3 facing the industrial socket 1. The first circuit board 4 is provided in the opening, and a sealing plate 8 is provided at the opening. The sealing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the first circuit board 4 and the socket end cover 3 through a connecting member (such as a screw); the sealing plate 8 plays a role of sealing and shielding to protect the first circuit board 4.

[0033] A connecting arm is provided on one side of the socket end cover 3. The connecting arm is rotatably connected to the industrial socket 1 through a rotating shaft and a torsion spring, so that the socket end cover can close itself and can also be placed on the outer periphery of the industrial plug under the action of the torsion spring after being inserted; an opening buckle 7 is provided at the other side edge of the socket end cover 3 for manually opening the socket end cover.

[0034] Further, a guiding groove 15 parallel to the insertion direction is provided on the inner periphery of the industrial socket 1. A cover protrusion 6 adapted to the guiding groove 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the socket end cover 3. A plug guiding protrusion 13 adapted to the guiding groove 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the industrial plug 2. The plug guiding protrusion 13 and the recognition chip 18 are arranged on different sides.

[0035] The provision of the guiding groove 15 has multiple functions. On the one hand, in cooperation with the plug guiding protrusion 13, it plays a role in positioning and anti-misconnection, preventing the industrial plug 2 from being inserted wrongly and avoiding misinsertion. Only when the plug guiding protrusion 13 is inserted along the guiding groove can it be ensured that the industrial plug is accurately inserted into the industrial socket and the pins on it are correctly plugged. On the other hand, the guiding groove 15 can also be used in cooperation with the end cap protrusion 6. When the socket end cap is closed, the end cap protrusion 6 can be engaged in the guiding groove 15. A sensor can also be arranged inside the end cap protrusion 6.

[0036] In some embodiments, the plug-in place monitoring mechanism includes a position sensor 23 arranged at the end of the guiding groove 15. A second circuit board 22 is arranged inside the rear cover 14 near the industrial socket 1. The position sensor 23 is connected to the second circuit board 22. When the industrial plug 2 is plugged in place, the plug guiding protrusion 13 triggers the position sensor 23 to feedback a plug-in place signal. A temperature sensor is also arranged on the second circuit board 22. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the operating temperature of the industrial socket and / or the industrial plug. The temperature of the pins can be judged whether it is normal according to the temperature information. If an abnormal situation occurs, a prompt can also be given to remind the staff to deal with it in time to ensure the safety of electricity use.

[0037] This embodiment makes full use of the structures of the guiding groove 15 and the plug guiding protrusion 13. Only when the industrial plug 2 is plugged in place will the plug guiding protrusion 13 trigger the position sensor 23, so as to correctly judge whether the plugging is completed. Only after the plugging is in place can the subsequent power supply operation be carried out, preventing the situation of loose connection of the plug, and improving the effectiveness and safety of the use of the industrial plug and socket. The plug guiding protrusion and the housing of the industrial plug are of an integrally formed plastic structure.

[0038] In some embodiments, the plug-in place monitoring mechanism includes a Hall sensor 5 arranged on the opening side of the socket end cap 3, and a magnet 12 arranged on the industrial plug 2. The Hall sensor 5 is connected to the first circuit board 4. The magnet 12 and the identification chip 18 are arranged on the same side. When the industrial plug 2 is plugged in place, the socket end cap 3 automatically overlaps on the outer periphery of the industrial plug 2, so that the Hall sensor 5 and the magnet 12 are close to each other and feedback a plug-in place signal. The Hall sensor can obtain the information of the approaching of the magnet and can determine its position. When the magnet reaches the preset position, the Hall sensor can send out the information that the industrial plug is plugged in place.

[0039] With the arrangement of this embodiment, when the industrial plug 2 is correctly plugged into the industrial socket 1 and is plugged in place, the magnet 12 is close to the Hall sensor 5. After the Hall sensor 5 detects the corresponding trigger signal, it can determine whether the industrial plug is plugged in place. If it is not plugged in place, the Hall sensor 5 will not be able to detect the magnet 12, thus giving a prompt for the operator to adjust in time.

[0040] These two embodiments of the plug-in place monitoring mechanism can be set on the industrial connector together or used separately.

[0041] Furthermore, a raised portion is provided in the middle region of the outer periphery of the industrial plug 2, including a raised platform 17 and a raised buckle 11. The identification chip 18 is arranged in the raised platform 17, and the magnet 12 is arranged in the raised buckle 11. A card slot 9 for cooperating with the raised buckle 11 is also provided on the opening side of the socket end cover 3. When the industrial plug 2 is plugged in place, the raised buckle 11 can just abut against the card slot 9 on the opening side of the socket end cover, and the identification chip 18 also approaches the identity recognition module 16 in the socket end cover 3. This layout structure is beneficial for these sensors to play their roles effectively; moreover, this raised setting can avoid occupying the internal space of the plug so as not to affect the equipment wiring.

[0042] Furthermore, the relay control module is arranged between the third circuit board 20 and the fourth circuit board 21. The electrical parameter module is used to collect the power consumption data of the equipment and monitor the power consumption status of the equipment. A clock module is also provided on the fourth circuit board 21, and time information can be recorded whether it is powered on or not. Embodiment 2

[0043] A usage control method for an intelligent industrial connector, the usage control method at least includes a power-taking method and a power-off method, as combined Figure 10 As shown, the power-taking method includes the following steps: Plug the industrial plug into the industrial socket, and determine whether the industrial plug is plugged in place (such as based on the trigger of the position sensor). If so, proceed to the next step; Judge whether the industrial plug is a recognizable industrial plug through the identity recognition module and the identification chip (the RFID radio frequency module acts, whether there is the radio frequency signal of the radio frequency card). If not, the sound and light reminder module will conduct a voice broadcast, with a voice prompt that there is a non-certified industrial plug, request to remove the non-certified industrial plug, and the red light will flash. The non-certified industrial plug will be unlocked, the non-certified industrial plug will be pulled out, the voice prompt will be terminated, and the process will end; if so, proceed to the next step; Check whether the communication network is normal. If not, conduct voice broadcast to prompt and contact the administrator for handling. If the administrator has not arrived at the scene, long-press the function button to terminate the voice prompt, unplug the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If the administrator arrives at the scene, check whether an identifiable administrator identity card is swiped. If not, terminate the voice prompt, unplug the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If so, locally confirm the plug information (parameters, types, power, etc.), and then voice prompt, "Please swipe the work permit information." If the work permit is not swiped, unplug the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt, and end the operation process. If the work permit is swiped, further check whether the work permit has the device operation authority. If not, voice prompt to complete the authority certification at the safety supervision department, unlock the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt after unplugging the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If the operation authority is available, click the function button to start power supply. This process is mainly for the situation where the administrator swipes the card for authorized power-taking in case of network abnormality, to avoid the situation of inability to take power due to no network communication. At the same time, the information of the electrical equipment and the operator is directly stored locally here, including the relevant power consumption data during the process, and will be uploaded to the cloud simultaneously when the network is normal.

[0044] If the communication network is normal, compare the authentication information of the industrial plug in the cloud. If the authentication fails, conduct voice broadcast to prompt to complete the device certification at the safety supervision department, unlock the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt after unplugging the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If the authentication is successful, voice prompt, "Please swipe the work permit information." If the work permit is not swiped, unplug the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt, and end the operation process. If the work permit is swiped, further check whether the work permit has the device operation authority. If not, voice prompt to complete the authority certification at the safety supervision department, unlock the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt after unplugging the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If the operation authority is available, further compare the operation information in the cloud to determine whether there is a corresponding operation arrangement in the current area. If there is no operation arrangement, voice prompt to check the operation information at the engineering department, unlock the industrial plug, terminate the voice prompt after unplugging the industrial plug, and end the power-taking process. If there is an operation arrangement, click the function button to start power supply.

[0045] Combined with Figure 11 As shown, the power-off method includes the following steps: long-press the function button to detect whether the current magnitude in the industrial connector loop exceeds the set value. If so, conduct voice broadcast and retry after turning off the electrical equipment. If not, perform switch-off power-off and unplug the industrial plug within the time limit.

[0046] By transforming the existing three - level distribution box, on the premise that normal communication with the second - level box can be achieved in the three - level box, the industrial socket is installed and fixed at the designated position of the box body to replace the original industrial socket. In the initial stage when project equipment enters the site, it can be required that all incoming equipment register the information of the electrical equipment and the operator, and input it into the identification chip inside the corresponding industrial plug. After the above operations are completed, connect the plug of the electrical equipment with the integrated plug and seal and mark it to prevent random replacement. Before workers use the equipment, they need to identify and authenticate the identity information of the electrical equipment. After verification, the industrial plug is successfully connected to the industrial socket to achieve normal power supply, effectively avoiding the safety risks brought by the illegal use of non - compliant equipment. Under normal use conditions, the relevant parameters of the current electrical equipment can be monitored in real time, and the working state of the electrical equipment can be analyzed. When abnormal parameter indicators occur, the intelligent power - off function can be realized to ensure the safety of temporary power use at the project site.
