Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communication technology, and in particular relates to a low-power communication module for fire monitoring in the Internet of Things. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of IoT technology, its application is becoming increasingly widespread across various industries, particularly in the field of security monitoring. Confined spaces such as underground warehouses, cable tunnels, mine tunnels, and power distribution rooms are relatively closed, with limited access and poor air circulation. Once a fire breaks out, it can spread rapidly and be difficult to detect and extinguish, often resulting in serious casualties and property damage. Therefore, real-time fire monitoring and timely early warning are crucial in confined spaces. IoT technology, which collects data in real time through sensors and transmits it to monitoring centers via communication networks, provides a new solution for fire monitoring. However, in practical applications, IoT devices, particularly in confined spaces, are limited by power supply difficulties and maintenance challenges, placing extremely high demands on low power consumption.
[0003] Currently, traditional fire monitoring methods for confined spaces primarily rely on wired fire alarm systems, which present numerous limitations. High power consumption and short battery life: Existing devices, whether using wired power supply with traditional sensors and high-power communication modules, or some wireless devices using high-power sensors and communication components, all result in significant overall energy consumption. For example, wireless fire monitoring devices that use Wi-Fi communication consume significant power due to the continuous operation of the communication module, resulting in a battery life of only one to three months, making them unable to meet the needs of long-term unmanned monitoring in confined spaces.
[0004] High maintenance costs: High power consumption requires frequent battery replacements. Manual battery replacement in confined spaces not only poses a safety hazard but also significantly increases labor and time costs. Furthermore, once a wired system's wiring is damaged, troubleshooting and repairing it becomes difficult, further increasing maintenance costs.
[0005] Insufficient real-time and accuracy of monitoring: Although some low-power devices use timed wake-up to collect data, this mechanism is difficult to capture sudden changes in fire outbreaks, which may lead to delayed warnings; and simple low-power designs cannot optimize data processing and communication links, affecting the accuracy of monitoring data.
[0006] Poor flexibility and scalability: Traditional wired fire monitoring systems have fixed wiring, making them difficult to expand according to layout changes or monitoring needs in enclosed areas. Wireless devices are susceptible to signal interference in complex, enclosed environments, which also limits the system's flexible deployment and functional expansion.
[0007] Based on this, the present invention designs a low-power communication module for Internet of Things fire monitoring to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

By optimizing sensor selection, power management strategy and communication protocol, the overall power consumption of the equipment is reduced, the battery life is extended, and an ultra-long battery life of 1-3 years is achieved, and the maintenance frequency is reduced. At the same time, real-time dynamic data acquisition and intelligent analysis algorithms are used to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of fire monitoring. In addition, a flexible wireless communication architecture is designed to enhance the deployment flexibility of the equipment in confined places and the system scalability to meet the fire monitoring needs of different confined scenarios.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Please see the attached Figure 1-Attached Figure 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a low-power communication module for Internet of Things fire monitoring, comprising: Low-power wireless communication module, supports multiple network standards, and has low-power working mode; The power management module includes a low-power DC-DC converter and a power monitoring chip, which is used to convert the battery output voltage into the stable voltage required by each module and monitor the battery power in real time; The wake-up control module sets two modes: timer wake-up and external interrupt wake-up, which are used to control the device to switch between sleep and working states; The data processing module is used to receive sensor data, analyze and process it, and wake up the wireless communication module for data transmission when necessary.
[0022] The Hezhou Air780E is used as the network communication module. The Air780E supports multiple low-power operating modes and can enter a deep sleep state when there is no data transmission. Compared with traditional high-power communication modules, the standby power consumption is reduced by more than 90%. Its optimized communication protocol stack reduces ineffective energy consumption during data transmission. Combined with an intelligent wake-up strategy, the module is woken up to send data only when necessary.
[0023] The communication module supports multiple network standards, including 2G and NB-IoT, allowing flexible selection based on the network environment in confined locations. Compared to traditional wired communication methods, it eliminates wiring constraints and addresses the challenges of difficult wiring and poor scalability in confined locations. The module's high level of integration enables low-power, high-efficiency communication while reducing the complexity and cost of external circuitry.
[0024] The low-power wireless communication module includes the following steps: Initialize the network connection. After the device is powered on, the low-power wireless communication module searches for and connects to an available network format to establish a stable data transmission channel. Entering a low-power sleep state: When there is no data transmission demand, the module enters a low-power sleep state to reduce overall power consumption; It is awakened to transmit data. When data needs to be uploaded, it is awakened by the data processing module and the relevant data is sent to the remote monitoring center through the selected network format. The low-power wireless communication module also includes a communication strategy selection unit, which specifically includes the following steps: Signal strength detection The low-power wireless communication module regularly detects the signal strength of the current network; Signal strength is divided into multiple levels, such as strong, medium, weak, and no signal, and each level corresponds to a signal strength threshold range; Network type identification Identify the currently connected network type, such as 2G, NB-IoT; Different network types have different transmission rates, power consumption, and coverage, which have a significant impact on the choice of data transmission strategies; Communication mode selection Communication mode selection based on signal strength Strong signal: Select a high-speed, high-power communication mode to quickly complete data transmission; Medium signal: Select a communication mode that balances power consumption and transmission rate; Weak signal or no signal: No real-time data transmission is performed, the local storage mechanism is enabled, and the data is temporarily stored in the module's internal memory; Optimization based on network type For modules that support multiple network types, further optimization is performed based on the characteristics of the network type (such as coverage, transmission rate, power consumption, etc.).
[0025] For example, within the coverage area of the NB-IoT network, NB-IoT is used for data transmission first to take advantage of its low power consumption and wide coverage.
[0026] Data transfer strategy Real-time data transmission When the signal is strong or medium, when data needs to be uploaded (such as when a fire hazard is detected, or when status is reported regularly), the low-power wireless communication module is immediately awakened for data transmission. Compress data before transmission to reduce the transmission volume; at the same time, use encryption technology to ensure data transmission security; Delayed transmission and data retransmission In the case of weak or no signal, real-time data transmission is not performed, but the data is temporarily stored in the local memory; Regularly check the network signal strength. Once the signal returns to a transmittable level (such as a medium or strong signal), immediately activate the data retransmission mechanism and upload the temporarily stored data to the remote monitoring center in sequence. During data retransmission, the transmission rate and retransmission strategy can be dynamically adjusted according to network conditions to ensure data reliability and integrity.
[0027] The power management module specifically includes the following steps: Voltage conversion: a low-power DC-DC converter converts the battery output voltage into the stable voltage required by each module; Power monitoring: The power monitoring chip monitors the battery power in real time and calculates the remaining usage time; Automatically adjust the working mode. When the power level is lower than the set threshold, the device working mode will be automatically adjusted to reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
[0028] The wake-up control module specifically includes the following steps: Start the timer. During the device initialization phase, the wake-up control module starts the timer and sets the wake-up cycle. Timer wake-up: according to the preset time period, the wake-up control module wakes up the device to perform data collection and upload operations; External interrupt wake-up: when an external interrupt signal is received, the device is immediately woken up and processed accordingly; Switch back to sleep mode. After the processing is completed, decide whether to continue sleeping based on the situation and switch back to sleep mode.

[0031] The sensor module also includes the KSD-01F temperature control switch, which uses a TO-220 package and a snap-action, single-pole / single-throw contact structure with 100% conduction. When the external temperature is too high, it is transmitted to the corrected bimetallic strip and quickly actuated to cut off or connect the circuit. When the temperature drops to the reset temperature, the bimetallic strip quickly resets and repeats the operation. Sensors are evenly distributed around the device housing and connected to corresponding interfaces on the circuit board through pins. Taking the temperature sensor as an example, its data line is directly connected to the GPIO pin of the microprocessor to realize data transmission; The microprocessor is configured to normalize the data collected by the sensor and calculate the fire hazard score FDS based on a weighted scoring model, specifically comprising the following steps: First, the obtained data is normalized and the fire hazard score is calculated using the weighted average model: ; : Fire hazard score; : The weighted coefficients corresponding to the three monitoring indicators of temperature, smoke concentration and flame intensity satisfy ; : Represent the normalized values of temperature, smoke density and flame signal respectively, and are calculated as follows: ; T: current temperature sampling value; : Minimum and maximum temperature settings for normalization; : Current smoke density value; : The minimum and maximum values used for normalization of smoke concentration; : Current flame infrared detection voltage value; : The minimum and maximum values used for flame signal normalization.
