Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication modules, and in particular to a carrier communication module for dual-mode intelligent cooperative communication. Background Art

[0002] Smart meter carrier communication modules are mainly used in power user electricity consumption information collection systems. Energy meter carrier communication uses power lines as the transmission medium and realizes data transmission by superimposing high-frequency carrier signals on the power frequency (50 / 60Hz). It is often used for smart meter data transmission. The communication module is the core communication unit designed specifically for smart energy meters.

[0003] However, with the development of smart grids, smart meters are becoming more and more widely used, and the environments in which they are used are becoming increasingly complex. Currently, all smart meter carrier communication modules on the market use a single communication technology. However, this single communication mode is very prone to failure in complex power usage environments, making it impossible to effectively transmit signals, resulting in unnecessary losses. To this end, we propose a carrier communication module with dual-mode intelligent collaborative communication. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The present invention provides a carrier communication module for dual-mode intelligent collaborative communication, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The carrier communication module of this dual-mode intelligent collaborative communication realizes dual-mode communication through the coordinated use of high-speed power line carrier units and wireless radio frequency communication units. The dual-mode design greatly enhances the robustness and self-healing ability of the network, and can ensure that when a path (carrier or wireless) is interrupted, it can quickly find an alternative path through another mode or network relay node to ensure uninterrupted communication. The dual-mode communication mechanism completely solves the pain point that a single communication mode is prone to failure in a complex power consumption environment, and realizes communication without blind spots, high data reliability, and high data collection efficiency.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0016] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a carrier communication module for dual-mode intelligent collaborative communication, including a high-speed power line carrier unit, a wireless radio frequency communication unit and a control unit, and the high-speed power line carrier unit and the wireless radio frequency communication unit are both electrically connected to the control unit.

[0017] Dual-mode communication is achieved through the coordinated use of high-speed power line carrier units and wireless radio frequency communication units. The dual-mode design greatly enhances the robustness and self-healing capabilities of the network. It can ensure that when a path (wired carrier or wireless radio frequency) is interrupted, an alternative path can be quickly found through another mode or network relay node to ensure uninterrupted communication. It has excellent anti-noise and anti-attenuation performance and can adapt to complex power grid environments.

[0018] The high-speed power line carrier unit adopts broadband power line carrier (HPLC) technology to transmit high-speed data through existing power lines. It has the characteristics of strong anti-interference ability, high communication rate, and good penetration. It is suitable for most conventional power consumption environments. Moreover, since it provides a communication rate (HPLC) far higher than that of traditional narrowband carriers, it greatly shortens the meter reading time window and improves data timeliness.

[0019] The wireless RF communication unit integrates a 470MHz frequency band wireless communication module, which is used to communicate through wireless signals. In special environments where the carrier signal is severely attenuated, the wiring is complex, or there is strong interference (such as basements, old residential areas, and areas with dense metal meter boxes), it automatically or according to a strategy switches to the wireless channel to ensure smooth communication links.

[0020] The control unit is used to perform seamless switching or coordinated complementary transmission between the carrier and wireless modes, effectively avoiding single-mode communication blind spots.

[0021] The high-speed power line carrier unit based on broadband power line carrier (HPLC) technology has excellent automatic networking capabilities, can quickly build a multi-level relay network, and optimize communication paths.

[0022] The control unit monitors channel quality in real time through a dual-mode intelligent scheduling algorithm. The dual-mode intelligent scheduling algorithm is an optimization method that integrates traditional scheduling algorithms with artificial intelligence technology. Through mode switching, data fusion and adaptive learning, it achieves efficient resource allocation and task scheduling in complex scenarios. It has good flexibility, adaptability and efficiency. It can dynamically switch between precise modes (such as genetic algorithms, ant colony algorithms) and approximate modes (such as neural networks, reinforcement learning) to adapt to different task requirements. It uses machine learning technology to analyze environmental data in real time and dynamically adjust scheduling strategies. For example, it optimizes resource allocation based on traffic flow or equipment load. The hybrid strategy improves computing efficiency. For example, in a dual-mode communication system, the digital mode (efficient data processing) and the analog mode (strong compatibility) are combined to achieve intelligent allocation of communication resources. The control unit can seamlessly switch between carrier and wireless modes or perform coordinated and complementary transmission according to preset strategies or master station instructions, effectively avoiding single-mode communication blind spots, significantly improving the overall communication success rate and real-time performance, and providing a stable and efficient uplink channel to accurately transmit collected data to the concentrator or master station system.

[0023] A smart energy meter includes the above-mentioned dual-mode intelligent collaborative communication carrier communication module, which complies with the national grid and industry-related standards and specifications and is compatible with mainstream smart energy meters, concentrators and master station systems.

[0024] In summary, when the carrier communication module of the dual-mode intelligent cooperative communication is used, a high-speed power line carrier unit using the latest generation of broadband power line carrier (HPLC) technology is used to achieve high-speed data transmission of electric energy meter data through existing power lines.

[0025] When in special environments with severe carrier signal attenuation, complex wiring or strong interference, such as basements, old residential areas, and areas with dense metal meter boxes, the data transmission of the high-speed power line carrier unit is affected. The control unit uses a dual-mode intelligent scheduling algorithm to monitor the channel quality in real time, and according to preset strategies or master station instructions, the high-speed power line carrier unit and the wireless RF communication unit are seamlessly switched or run simultaneously for coordinated and complementary transmission.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
