The high-density energy storage element is used to store electrical energy. When the energy storage voltage of the high-density energy storage element reaches a threshold, the adaptive power management circuit wakes up low-power control system 3. If the voltage falls below the threshold, low-power control system 3 enters deep sleep mode.

[0018] The low-power control system 3 is used to analyze and process the data from the temperature sensor 4 and send it to the cloud server. The wireless transmission module is used to realize wireless signal transmission from the low-power control system 3 to the cloud server.

The temperature sensor 4 collects temperature data and sends it to the low-power control system 3; S5 low-power control system 3 sends the processed temperature data to the cloud server via the wireless transmission module; S5. When the energy storage voltage of the high-density energy storage element is lower than the threshold, the low-power control system 3 enters the deep sleep mode.
