Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of equipment monitoring, and in particular to a monitoring system, a monitoring method and a terminal. Background Art

[0002] At present, highway toll stations and tunnels all use backup emergency power supply equipment (generator sets). Moreover, there are not only a large number of generator sets, but also a long way from the electromechanical maintenance personnel's station. This makes it impossible for the electromechanical maintenance personnel to effectively control the status of the generator sets in real time. When a generator set fails, the electromechanical maintenance personnel need to frequently travel back and forth between the site and the station. For example, the electromechanical maintenance personnel first go to the site to detect the cause of the failure, then return to the station to get the corresponding tools, and then go to the site to troubleshoot. If accessories need to be replaced or other tools are needed, they need to return to the station and go to the site again. This makes it impossible to timely and effectively identify the fault of the generator set, and it is impossible to repair the generator set in time, resulting in unnecessary losses.

[0039] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] It should be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the above description should not be considered as limiting, but merely as an example of an embodiment. Other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present application will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0041] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the present application and, together with the general description of the present application given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present application.

[0042] These and other characteristics of the present application will become apparent from the following description of a preferred form of embodiment given as a non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should also be understood that although the present application has been described with reference to certain specific examples, those skilled in the art will be able to implement many other equivalent forms of the present application that have the features described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined thereby.

[0044] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Specific embodiments of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments described are merely examples of the present application and may be implemented in a variety of ways. Familiar and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details described herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to variously utilize the present application with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0046] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," which may all refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0047] To facilitate understanding of this application, a monitoring system provided by this application is first introduced in detail.

[0048] Figure 1 Shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a monitoring system, referring to Figure 1 As can be seen, the monitoring system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a terminal and a control terminal, and multiple terminals can be connected to the same control terminal. The terminal in the embodiment of the present application is a generator set, and the control terminal is a computer device, mobile phone, or control device at the station.

[0049] Each terminal includes a processor, a monitoring module and a communication module, and the processor is connected to the monitoring module and the communication module.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the monitoring module obtains the terminal's status information and transmits the obtained status information to the processor. As an example, the detection module may include a data terminal unit (DTU), an oil level detection circuit, a temperature detection circuit, and a voltage and current detection circuit. The oil level detection circuit collects the terminal's remaining oil in real time, the temperature detection circuit collects the terminal's ambient temperature in real time, and the voltage and current detection circuit collects the terminal's output current and voltage in real time. Of course, the status information may also include other parameters of the terminal, as long as they can be detected by the corresponding detection equipment.

[0051] After receiving the status information transmitted by the monitoring module, the processor evaluates the status information based on preset evaluation rules to determine whether the terminal has a fault. The evaluation rules may include the minimum value of the remaining fuel, the maximum value of the ambient temperature, the allowable range of current, and the allowable range of voltage.

[0052] After the processor evaluates the status information based on pre-set evaluation rules and obtains an evaluation result, if the evaluation result indicates a terminal failure, the processor transmits an alarm message to the control end via the communication module. Accordingly, the control end is equipped with a communication module corresponding to the communication module to enable communication between the terminal and the control end. The alarm message includes at least the cause of the failure, such as low remaining fuel, low oil pressure, high ambient temperature, abnormal water temperature, excessive current, low voltage, and abnormal output power.

[0053] After receiving the alarm information transmitted by the terminal, the control terminal responds to the received alarm information and controls at least the action of the faulty terminal. In one example, the control terminal generates a control instruction in response to the received alarm information, the control instruction being used to instruct the faulty terminal to take action. The control terminal sends the generated control instruction to the processor.

[0054] After receiving the control instruction, the processor responds to the control instruction to control the terminal to perform a corresponding action. The control of the faulty terminal action includes at least one of the following: controlling the faulty terminal to start operation, controlling the faulty terminal to stop operation, and controlling the faulty terminal to update operating parameters such as current, voltage, power, and start a cooling mechanism.

[0055] For example, when a terminal fails and needs to stop running, the control end can generate a control instruction for instructing the faulty terminal to stop running and transmit it to the faulty terminal, so that the processor of the faulty terminal responds to the control instruction and controls the faulty terminal to stop running, effectively preventing the terminal from being damaged due to continued operation of the faulty terminal.

[0056] For another example, when remote troubleshooting (troubleshooting) of a faulty terminal is completed, if the faulty terminal is in a stopped operating state, a control instruction for instructing the terminal that has completed troubleshooting to start operating can be generated through the control end and transmitted to the terminal that has completed troubleshooting, so that the processor of the terminal that has completed troubleshooting responds to the control instruction and controls the terminal that has completed troubleshooting to start operating.

[0057] In one example, the terminal is further provided with a positioning module, which is used to collect the position coordinates of the terminal to which it belongs. In addition, the positioning module is connected to the processor.

[0058] When a terminal failure is determined, the processor obtains the location information collected by the positioning module on the faulty terminal and transmits the location information and the evaluation result to the control terminal through the communication module.

[0059] After receiving the location information and assessment results, the control terminal generates troubleshooting prompts based on the location information and assessment results, and sends the troubleshooting prompts to maintenance personnel, who can then troubleshoot the faulty terminal based on the troubleshooting prompts. The troubleshooting prompts can be sent to the maintenance personnel's corresponding client in the form of text messages, emails, pop-up windows, etc. The troubleshooting prompts can include the cause of the fault, the troubleshooting process, the tools required for troubleshooting, etc., eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to travel back and forth between the terminal and the station multiple times, effectively reducing the labor cost during troubleshooting and improving troubleshooting efficiency.

[0060] In the monitoring system of the embodiment of the present application, the communication connection between the terminal and the control end is realized by the communication module provided on the terminal, so that when the terminal evaluates its own status information and the evaluation result indicates a terminal failure, the terminal can promptly transmit alarm information to the control end, so that the maintenance personnel can clearly understand the cause of the failure and promptly troubleshoot the faulty terminal. There is no need for the maintenance personnel to travel back and forth between the terminal and the station many times, which reduces labor costs and improves the troubleshooting efficiency; and, the control end remotely controls the terminal to start and stop operation and update operation parameters, which effectively improves the operation efficiency and stability of the terminal.

[0061] In another example, after the terminal processor evaluates the status information, if the evaluation result indicates that the terminal is normal, the terminal records the status information and reports the status information to the control terminal via the communication module according to the reporting rules. The reporting rules may include reporting status information according to a time period (e.g., reporting once every other day), reporting status information according to information volume (e.g., reporting status information when the information volume exceeds a preset threshold), etc.

[0062] In specific implementations, the status information may also include parameters such as generator output voltage, frequency, load current, apparent power, active power, reactive power, current generated energy, cumulative generated energy, engine speed, oil pressure, cooling water temperature, remaining fuel, battery voltage, current operating time, cumulative operating time, number of power-ups, and real-time voltage. Based on this, after receiving the status information, the control terminal analyzes the received status information and determines whether to generate a maintenance reminder message. For example, if the cumulative operating time exceeds the maintenance time limit, a maintenance reminder message is generated; if the cumulative generated energy exceeds a preset amount of energy, a maintenance reminder message is generated.

[0063] It is worth noting that the information transmitted in the embodiments of the present application, such as status information, evaluation results, alarm information, control instructions, location information, and maintenance prompt information, are all encrypted through encryption algorithms, and the transmission protocol used in the transmission process is an optimized transmission protocol with better security, thereby ensuring that the transmitted information is stable and without packet loss, which also ensures the security of the data.

[0064] Furthermore, after the control terminal generates the maintenance prompt information, the maintenance prompt information is sent to the maintenance personnel, so that the maintenance personnel can perform maintenance on the faulty terminal according to the maintenance prompt information.

[0065] As another example, the embodiment of the present application is directed to a terminal, and its processor may also be configured to include a digital excitation controller and a preset AI control algorithm. Based on this, when the terminal processor evaluates the status information and the evaluation result indicates a terminal failure, before transmitting the alarm information to the control terminal through the communication module, the processor can control the terminal action based on the status information, that is, the terminal processor can automatically control the fault terminal action or adjust the operating parameters of the fault terminal to complete the troubleshooting. Similarly, the terminal processor can also automatically maintain the terminal to enable the terminal to adapt to the needs of different loads and working conditions, thereby improving operating efficiency and stability.

[0066] The terminal of the embodiment of the present application also includes a display module, and the communication module and the positioning module are arranged in the display module of the terminal. The display module can be connected to the processor and the monitoring module of the terminal according to its original circuit. Even if a communication module and a positioning module are added to the display module, they can also be applied to the terminal and connected according to the original circuit, so that the connection efficiency and convenience are high and it is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0067] The display module of the terminal can display at least one of the following: status information, evaluation results and alarm information.

[0068] In this embodiment of the present application, a single control terminal can communicate with multiple terminals, enabling simultaneous monitoring and management of multiple terminals, ensuring efficient management. Furthermore, maintenance personnel can remotely monitor the status of multiple terminals, conduct fault assessments, perform remote control, and perform data analysis and optimization, providing comprehensive support for high-speed services.

[0082] In another example, the monitoring system further executes:

[0084] In the monitoring system of the embodiment of the present application, the communication connection between the terminal and the control terminal is realized by the communication module provided on the terminal, so that when the terminal evaluates its own status information and the evaluation result indicates a terminal failure, it can promptly transmit alarm information to the control terminal, so that maintenance personnel can clearly understand the cause of the failure and promptly troubleshoot the faulty terminal.
