Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of data monitoring technology, specifically relating to a data monitoring device for fire protection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Fire monitoring refers to the detection and supervision of man-made and natural / accidental disasters encountered by people in their daily lives, work, and studies, aiming to prevent disasters and eliminate hidden dangers. Fire monitoring mainly involves the detection and testing of the technical and performance indicators of various fire protection facilities installed within a building, thereby determining whether the entire fire protection system meets the requirements of national standards and specifications, ensuring that the performance of the building's fire protection facilities meets design requirements. Multiple fire protection devices are connected in series through network terminals. In practical applications, the equipment typically requires the following technologies:

[0003] 1. Sensor module, used to detect the status of different devices;

[0004] 2. Data acquisition and processing module, responsible for receiving data from the sensor module and processing and analyzing it;

[0005] 3. Display and alarm module, used to display the monitored fire equipment data;

[0006] 4. The outer casing and mounting structure protect the internal components of the monitoring device;

[0007] The monitoring device transmits alarm information and real-time data to the monitoring center or other relevant equipment via a communication interface. Electrical signals collected by sensors are transmitted to the microprocessor of the data monitoring device via circuit connections for data comparison and judgment. The collected real-time data is compared with preset thresholds to determine if any anomalies exist. However, this system has the following shortcomings in its use.

[0008] 1. The fact that the docking ports of the detection device are concentrated on one side limits the choice of the installation location. In some places with narrow space or complex installation environment, it is impossible to orient the side where the port is located to face the appropriate connection direction, which makes installation difficult or inconvenient for wiring. It increases the difficulty of cable management. Too many cables may be tangled together, which is not convenient for sorting and maintenance, and may also cause cable damage or signal interference.

[0009] 2. The monitoring device is connected to multiple devices via wired transmission. If the wired fiber is accidentally cut, the wireless communication is severely interfered with, or the base station fails, the data of the fire-fighting equipment will not be transmitted in a timely manner. Especially in emergency situations such as fires, it will affect the monitoring and response to fire risks. Different types of fire-fighting equipment may be located in different environments, and relying on wired transmission can easily lead to a decrease in the adaptability of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a fire equipment data monitoring device.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical problems of the present invention are mainly solved by the following technical solution: a fire equipment data monitoring device, including a housing body, a microprocessor, a data storage unit, and a communication interface. Connecting components are slidably installed on both sides of the housing body. Each connecting component includes an interface panel, a sealing plate, and a transmission interface. Switching components are fixedly installed on both sides of each microprocessor. Each switching component includes a connecting line, a signal fusion port, a signal tuning slide, and a switching port. A multi-stage reset rod with both ends compressed is fixedly installed at the top of each signal fusion port. A vertically sliding rod antenna is provided at the top of each multi-stage reset rod.

[0012] Preferably, each of the outer shell bodies has two holes at its top end that mate with the multi-stage reset rods, each of the multi-stage reset rods has a vertically movable sealing sleeve fixedly installed at its top end, each of the multi-stage reset rods has a synchronously movable support fixedly installed on its surface, and each of the support brackets has two synchronous link rods for docking signal tuning slides fixedly installed at its bottom end.

[0013] Each of the interface panels has a freely rotating drive shaft rotatably mounted inside, and a locking ring is fixedly mounted at the end of each drive shaft to lock the angle of the drive shaft.

[0014] The end of each locking ring is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting line, and two symmetrically arranged telescopic hinge plates are fixedly installed on the surface of each drive shaft.

[0015] Preferably, each of the telescopic hinge plates is a sleeve-type design, and a horizontal insert rod is rotatably mounted on the top of each of the telescopic hinge plates.

[0016] Each of the horizontal insertion rods slides horizontally inside the interface panel, and guide grooves are provided on both sides of each interface panel;

[0017] The outer casing body has guide grooves on both sides to guide the interface panel to slide, and each guide groove has at least two holes on its two inner sidewalls for fixing the interface panel.

[0018] Preferably, each of the interface panels has two multi-segment compression folding spring rods fixedly installed on its side end, and each of the folding spring rods has a positioning block fixedly installed at its top end that engages with the locking ring, and each of the folding spring rods has a compression spring installed inside.

[0019] The microprocessor and the data storage unit are connected by a wiring harness, and a power module is installed inside the housing.

[0020] Each signal fusion port is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper end of the signal fusion port is connected to the multi-stage reset bar, and the lower end of the signal fusion port is connected to the connecting line.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. By pushing the interface panel, sealing plates are installed at both ends of the interface panel. The sealing plates can slide between the layers of the outer shell to ensure the sealing of the outer shell. At the same time, the interface panel can drive the sealing plates to slide vertically, which can adjust the position of the sealing plates. The sealing plates installed on both sides can distribute the cable connections, reduce the mess caused by the cables being concentrated on one side, and increase the installation flexibility. The adjustable interface panel makes it more convenient for operators to plug and unplug cables or debug equipment.

[0023] Second: By sliding the mobile signal tuning slide upwards, the switching port at the bottom of the signal tuning slide is disconnected from the signal fusion port. The switching port at the top is then inserted into the signal fusion port. The switching port at the top of the signal tuning slide is connected to the multi-stage reset bar. Through the connection between the multi-stage reset bar and the microprocessor, data transmission continues. By employing both wired and wireless communication methods, when one communication link fails, the other can be immediately activated as a backup, ensuring the continuity of data transmission. This can improve the stability and reliability of the system in various complex environmental changes.

[0024] Third: By adding transmission interfaces on both sides of the housing, the redundancy of the connection is increased. When one port fails, data transmission and device connection can still be carried out through the other port, which greatly reduces the impact of single point of failure on the system and improves the reliability of the system. More transmission interfaces, along with the interface panel that drives the transmission interfaces to slide on the side of the housing, can connect more sensors, communication modules or other devices, enhancing expandability.

[0025] Fourth: The hole at the top of the outer shell is sealed by the sealing sleeve. The multi-stage reset rod slides upward, driving the support frame to move. The support frame drives the signal tuning slide plate to slide upward synchronously through the synchronous link rod. By allowing the signal tuning slide plate to slide vertically, different communication modes are switched. The combination of wired and wireless communication can ensure the stability of data transmission.

[0026] 5. The locking ring rotates on the side of the interface panel via the drive shaft. The rotating locking ring presses against the surface of the positioning block, forcing the positioning block to slide downwards. At the same time, the folding spring rod has a multi-segment sleeve design, and the folding spring rod can only be compressed in the vertical direction, allowing the positioning block to leave the slot on the surface of the locking ring. The drive shaft rotates, and the folding spring rod always exerts a pushing force on the horizontal insertion rod, causing the surface of the positioning block to rub against the surface of the locking ring. When the drive shaft rotates in the opposite direction, pushing the horizontal insertion rod into the inner side of the housing body, the locking ring rotates in the opposite direction and engages with the two positioning blocks. The positioning blocks align with the locking ring, fixing the angle of the drive shaft. The adjustment operation is simple and facilitates quick cable connection. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example: A fire equipment data monitoring device, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the device includes a housing 11, a microprocessor 12, a data storage unit 13, and a communication interface 14. Connecting components are slidably mounted on both sides of the housing 11. Each connecting component includes an interface panel 15, a sealing plate 16, and a transmission interface 17. By pushing the interface panel 15, sealing plates 16 are installed at both ends of the interface panel 15. The sealing plates 16 can slide between the layers of the housing 11 to ensure the sealing of the outer side of the housing 11. At the same time, the sealing plates 16 can be adjusted by sliding them vertically through the interface panel 15. The sealing plates 16 installed on both sides can disperse the cable connections, reduce the mess caused by the cables being concentrated on one side, and increase the installation flexibility. The adjustable interface panel 15 makes it more convenient for operators to plug and unplug cables or debug equipment.

[0038] Each microprocessor 12 has a switching assembly fixedly mounted on both sides. Each switching assembly includes a connecting line 19, a signal fusion port 25, a signal tuning slide 26, and a switching port 27. A multi-stage reset rod 28 with compressed ends is fixedly mounted at the top of each signal fusion port 25. A vertically sliding rod antenna 29 is provided at the top of each multi-stage reset rod 28. A sensor is installed at the end of the connecting line 19. When the sensor detects that the signal transmission of the connecting line 19 is cut off, the top of the multi-stage reset rod 28 is controlled to be pushed upwards rapidly. The rod antenna 29 moves upwards, with its upper half passing through the top of the housing body 11. Simultaneously, the signal tuning slide 26 is moved during signal fusion. The inside of port 25 slides upward quickly. Each switching port 27 is fixed at both ends of the signal tuning slide plate 26. By moving the signal tuning slide plate 26 upward, the switching port 27 at the bottom of the signal tuning slide plate 26 is disconnected from the signal fusion port 25. The switching port 27 at the top is inserted into the inside of the signal fusion port 25. The switching port 27 at the top of the signal tuning slide plate 26 is connected to the multi-stage reset rod 28. Through the connection of the multi-stage reset rod 28 to the microprocessor 12, data transmission continues. By adopting both wired and wireless communication methods, when one communication link fails, the other can be immediately activated as a backup, ensuring the continuity of data transmission and improving the stability and reliability of the system in various complex environmental changes.

[0039] Each outer casing 11 has two holes at its top that mate with the multi-stage reset rod 28. Each multi-stage reset rod 28 has a vertically movable sealing sleeve 31 fixedly installed at its top. Each multi-stage reset rod 28 has a synchronously movable support bracket 32 ​​fixedly installed on its surface. Each support bracket 32 ​​has two synchronous link rods 33 fixedly installed at its bottom that mate with the signal tuning slide plate 26. When the multi-stage reset rod 28 is retracted into the outer casing 11, the sealing sleeve 31 seals the holes at the top of the outer casing 11. The multi-stage reset rod 28 slides upward, causing the support bracket 32 ​​to move. The support bracket 32 ​​synchronously drives the signal tuning slide plate 26 to slide upward through the synchronous link rods 33. By allowing the signal tuning slide plate 26 to slide vertically, different communication modes are switched.

[0040] Each interface panel 15 has a freely rotating drive shaft 21 rotatably mounted inside. Each drive shaft 21 has a locking ring 22 fixedly mounted at its end to lock its angle. The end of each locking ring 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting line 19. Two symmetrically arranged telescopic hinge plates 23 are fixedly mounted on the surface of each drive shaft 21. Each telescopic hinge plate 23 is a sleeve design. A horizontal insertion rod 24 is rotatably mounted at the top of each telescopic hinge plate 23. Each horizontal insertion rod 24 slides horizontally inside the interface panel 15. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of each interface panel 15. Rotate drive shaft 21 to allow it to rotate freely inside interface panel 15. The rotation of drive shaft 21 causes data storage unit 13 to rotate inside interface panel 15. Telescopic hinge plate 23 deflects inside interface panel 15. The deflected telescopic hinge plate 23 stretches its length and applies an oblique force to horizontal insertion rod 24. However, horizontal insertion rod 24 is engaged with guide groove inside interface panel 15. Horizontal insertion rod 24 can only slide in the horizontal direction. By rotating drive shaft 21, horizontal insertion rod 24 is moved away from the side of interface panel 15, causing interface panel 15 to slide on the side of outer shell 11.

[0041] The two sides of the housing body 11 are provided with guide grooves 18 for guiding the interface panel 15 to slide. Each guide groove 18 has at least two holes for fixing the interface panel 15 on its two inner sidewalls. The microprocessor 12 and the data storage unit 13 are connected by a wire harness. A power module is installed inside the housing body 11. Each signal fusion port 25 is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper end of the signal fusion port 25 is connected to the multi-stage reset rod 28, and the lower end of the signal fusion port 25 is connected to the connecting line 19.

[0042] Two multi-segment compression folding spring rods 35 are fixedly installed on the side end of each interface panel 15. A positioning block 34 that engages with the locking ring 22 is fixedly installed at the top of each folding spring rod 35. A compression spring is installed inside each folding spring rod 35. The drive shaft 21 drives the locking ring 22 to rotate at the side end of the interface panel 15. The rotating locking ring 22 presses the surface of the positioning block 34, forcing the positioning block 34 to slide downward. At the same time, the folding spring rod 35 is a multi-segment sleeve design, and the folding spring rod 35 can only be compressed in the vertical direction, allowing the positioning block 34 to leave the groove on the surface of the locking ring 22. The drive shaft 21 rotates, and the folding spring rod 35 always exerts a pushing force on the horizontal insertion rod 24, causing the surface of the positioning block 34 to rub against the surface of the locking ring 22. When the drive shaft 21 rotates in the opposite direction and pushes the horizontal insertion rod 24 into the inner side of the outer shell body 11, the locking ring 22 rotates in the opposite direction and engages with the two positioning blocks 34. The positioning blocks 34 engage with the locking ring 22, fixing the angle of the drive shaft 21.

[0043] The principle of this invention:

[0044] The first step involves connecting different fire-fighting equipment through the interface on the side of the housing 11. The electrical signals collected by the sensors are transmitted to the microprocessor 12 via the connecting cable 19. The microprocessor 12 processes the received digital signals to remove noise interference and improve the accuracy of the data. The microprocessor 12 compares the collected real-time data with a preset threshold to determine if there is any abnormality. The collected data is then stored through the data storage unit 13. When the microprocessor 12 detects an abnormality in the fire-fighting equipment data, it triggers an alarm mechanism and transmits the alarm information and real-time data to the monitoring center or other relevant equipment via the communication interface 14.

[0045] By controlling the top of the multi-stage reset rod 28, the multi-stage reset rod 28 is pushed upward rapidly, causing the rod antenna 29 to move upward and pass its upper half through the top of the housing 11. At the same time, the signal tuning slide 26 is driven to slide upward rapidly inside the signal fusion port 25. Each switching port 27 is fixed at both ends of the signal tuning slide 26. By moving the signal tuning slide 26 upward, the switching port 27 at the bottom of the signal tuning slide 26 is disconnected from the signal fusion port 25, and the switching port 27 at the top is inserted into the inside of the signal fusion port 25. The switching port 27 at the top of the signal tuning slide 26 is connected to the multi-stage reset rod 28. Through the connection between the multi-stage reset rod 28 and the microprocessor 12, data transmission continues. By using both wired and wireless communication methods, when one communication link fails, the other can be immediately activated as a backup, ensuring the continuity of data transmission and improving the stability and reliability of the system in various complex environmental changes.

[0046] The second step involves rotating the drive shaft 21, allowing it to rotate freely within the interface panel 15. This rotation causes the data storage unit 13 to rotate within the interface panel 15, and the telescopic hinge plate 23 deflects within the interface panel 15. Simultaneously, the deflected hinge plate 23 extends its length, applying an oblique force to the horizontal insertion rod 24. However, the horizontal insertion rod 24 engages with the guide groove inside the interface panel 15, allowing it to slide only horizontally. Rotating the drive shaft 21 causes the horizontal insertion rod 24 to move away from the side of the interface panel 15, thus moving the interface panel 15... 5. Slide the interface panel 15 on the side end of the housing body 11. By pushing the interface panel 15, sealing plates 16 are installed at both ends of the interface panel 15. The sealing plates 16 can slide between the layers of the housing body 11 to ensure the sealing of the outer side of the housing body 11. At the same time, the interface panel 15 drives the sealing plates 16 to slide in the vertical direction, which can adjust the position of the sealing plates 16. The sealing plates 16 installed on both sides can disperse the cable connection, reduce the mess caused by the cables being concentrated on one side, increase the installation flexibility, and make it more convenient for operators to plug and unplug cables or debug equipment.

[0047] Driven by the drive shaft 21, the locking ring 22 rotates at the side of the interface panel 15. The rotating locking ring 22 presses against the surface of the positioning block 34, forcing the positioning block 34 to slide downwards. At the same time, the folding spring rod 35 is a multi-segment sleeve design, which can only be compressed in the vertical direction, allowing the positioning block 34 to leave the groove on the surface of the locking ring 22. This allows the drive shaft 21 to rotate, and the folding spring rod 35 always exerts a pushing force on the horizontal insertion rod 24, causing the surface of the positioning block 34 to rub against the surface of the locking ring 22. When the drive shaft 21 rotates in the opposite direction, pushing the horizontal insertion rod 24 into the inner side of the outer shell 11, the locking ring 22 rotates in the opposite direction and engages with the two positioning blocks 34. The positioning blocks 34 mate with the locking ring 22, fixing the angle of the drive shaft 21.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely representative examples of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and many variations are possible. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
