Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a tobacco data sensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of data collection and situational awareness for tobacco companies, it is necessary to collect tobacco data to provide basic data support for situational awareness of tobacco companies.

[0003] Conventional technologies rely on a "multi-hardware distributed deployment + external software assistance" model to build the data acquisition system. The core hardware is configured independently in three categories: 1. Traffic acquisition hardware: Deployed network collectors and other devices to capture traffic data from switches at each stage. These devices are mostly designed with 100Mbps Ethernet ports and need to be directly connected to the enterprise switch's mirror port via Ethernet cable; 2. Data preprocessing hardware: Configuring independent industrial servers to run basic functions such as data cleaning and traffic analysis; 3. Storage and transmission hardware: Deploying Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices to store historical data, and configuring independent communication modules to connect to the data preprocessing hardware via Ethernet cable to transmit preprocessed data to the situational awareness platform. The above hardware is fixed in the racks at each stage, establishing cross-device data interaction through Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) protocols. It also requires additional adaptation to the enterprise's existing infrastructure, such as switches and industrial power supplies, ultimately forming a distributed acquisition link to provide basic data support for situational awareness.

[0004] In the aforementioned technologies, the dispersed placement of various hardware components necessitates specialized personnel for rack installation, cable connections, and protocol adaptation, resulting in complex deployment and low efficiency. Furthermore, incompatibility between different brands and models of hardware devices and issues such as interface mismatches and communication protocol conflicts can easily arise, hindering data transmission between devices and reducing data sensing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a tobacco data sensing device to solve the technical problems of complex hardware deployment and low data sensing efficiency in current applications.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a tobacco data sensing device is provided, comprising: a housing, a processor module, a memory module, a storage module, a data access module, a data transmission module, and a power supply module disposed in the housing cavity, wherein the memory module, the storage module, the data access module, and the data transmission module are all connected to the processor module, and the power supply module is used to supply power to the other modules; The data access module is connected to the data source device, and the processor module collects raw tobacco data from the data source device through the data access module; the memory module is used to cache the raw tobacco data; the processor module is also used to perform data cleaning on the raw tobacco data to obtain valid tobacco data; the storage module is used to store the valid tobacco data. The data transmission module is connected to the data analysis device, and the processor module transmits the valid tobacco data to the data analysis device through the data transmission module.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention provides an integrated tobacco data sensing device, which integrates a processor module, a memory module, a storage module, a data access module, a data transmission module, and a power supply module, all of which are housed within a housing cavity. The processor module collects raw tobacco data from a data source device through the data access module. The memory module caches the raw tobacco data. The processor module also performs data cleaning on the raw tobacco data to obtain valid tobacco data. The storage module stores the valid tobacco data. The processor module transmits the valid tobacco data to a data analysis device through the data transmission module. On one hand, compared to distributed hardware, this integrated tobacco data sensing device achieves a "plug-and-play" data sensing mode, reducing deployment difficulty and improving deployment efficiency. Furthermore, it avoids problems such as interface incompatibility and communication protocol conflicts, preventing data transmission obstruction and improving data sensing efficiency. On the other hand, by incorporating a memory module to cache raw tobacco data, the device prevents data processing lag during data cleaning by the processor module, thereby improving data cleaning efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0012] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a tobacco data sensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tobacco data sensing device provided in this embodiment is suitable for scenarios where raw tobacco data is collected from a data source device, cleaned, and then transmitted to a data analysis device as valid tobacco data. Figure 1As shown, the tobacco data sensing device provided in this embodiment includes: a housing 10, and a processor module 11, a memory module 12, a storage module 13, a data access module 14, a data transmission module 15, and a power supply module 16 disposed within the housing cavity. The memory module 12, storage module 13, data access module 14, and data transmission module 15 are all connected to the processor module 11. The power supply module 16 is used to supply power to the other modules. That is, the power supply module 16 supplies power to the processor module 11, memory module 12, storage module 13, data access module 14, and data transmission module 15.

[0014] The data access module 14 is connected to the data source device 17. The processor module 11 collects raw tobacco data from the data source device 17 through the data access module 14. The memory module 12 is used to cache the raw tobacco data. The processor module 11 is also used to clean the raw tobacco data to obtain valid tobacco data. The storage module 13 is used to store the valid tobacco data.

[0015] The data transmission module 15 is connected to the data analysis device 18, and the processor module 11 transmits valid tobacco data to the data analysis device 18 through the data transmission module 15.

[0016] Optionally, the housing 10 in this embodiment can be made of metal. For ease of installation, the housing in this embodiment has a cuboid structure, i.e., a rack-type structure. For example, the overall dimensions of the housing 10 in this embodiment are adapted to a standard 19-inch rack.

[0017] In this embodiment, the processor module 11 serves as the control core of the device, coordinating tobacco data acquisition logic (acquiring data through the data access module), data processing tasks (cleaning the raw tobacco data), and module collaboration (controlling storage and transmission synchronization) to ensure efficient connection between various modules. For example, the processor module 11 in this embodiment can be an 8-core processor with a clock speed of 2.8 GHz.

[0018] In this embodiment, the data source device can be a switch in a tobacco company, such as a switch storing cigarette production data, a switch storing cigarette logistics data, and a switch storing cigarette warehousing data. In this embodiment, the data access module 14 is used to connect to the data source device 17. The processor module 11 collects raw tobacco data from the data source device 17 through the data access module 14. The raw tobacco data in this embodiment includes at least one of the following: cigarette production process data, cigarette process quality data, production equipment status data, order outbound information, real-time location of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and cigarette storage data.

[0019] In this embodiment, memory module 12 is used to cache raw tobacco data. Exemplarily, memory module 12 in this embodiment can be a fourth-generation Double Data Rate 4 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR4). More specifically, memory module 12 in this embodiment can be two 16 gigabyte (GB) DDR4 memory modules. The read / write rate of memory module 12 in this embodiment is greater than or equal to a preset first rate threshold, for example, greater than or equal to 20 gigabytes per second (GB / s).

[0020] To reduce data redundancy and improve data transmission efficiency, the processor module 11 can perform data cleaning on the raw tobacco data to obtain valid tobacco data. In this embodiment, the data cleaning process includes at least one of the following: deduplication, noise reduction, error correction, format standardization, and anomaly filtering. This embodiment does not improve the data cleaning process; the existing data cleaning process can be used as a reference.

[0021] Setting up a memory module allows the processor module to quickly read raw tobacco data during data cleaning, avoiding data processing lag and thus improving data cleaning efficiency.

[0022] In this embodiment, the storage module 13 can store valid tobacco data. The data transmission module 15 is connected to the data analysis device 18. Optionally, the data analysis device 18 can be a server running a situational awareness platform in a tobacco company. The processor module 11 can transmit valid tobacco data to the data analysis device 18 through the data transmission module 15.

[0023] In one implementation, after obtaining valid tobacco data, the processor module 11 can simultaneously transmit the valid tobacco data to the data analysis device 18 and store the valid tobacco data in the storage module 13. In another implementation, after obtaining valid tobacco data, the processor module 11 can store the valid tobacco data in the storage module 13, and upon receiving a data transmission instruction, read the valid tobacco data from the storage module 13 and transmit it to the data analysis device 18.

[0024] In one specific implementation, storage module 13 includes a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD). The SSD stores a tobacco data feature library. Processor module 11 calls the tobacco data feature library in the SSD to clean the raw tobacco data and obtain valid tobacco data. The HDD stores the valid tobacco data. In this embodiment, the tobacco data feature library includes feature information that conforms to the statistical patterns of tobacco data, determined based on historical tobacco data.

[0025] For example, in this embodiment, the mechanical hard drive has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes (TB) and the solid-state drive has a storage capacity of 512 GB.

[0026] Optionally, in order to save storage capacity of the hard disk drive, the valid tobacco data stored in the hard disk drive is for a preset duration, such as valid tobacco data within 7 days, 30 days, or 100 days.

[0027] Furthermore, the hard disk drive in this embodiment can store valid tobacco data categorized by timestamp. Here, the timestamp represents the time when the valid tobacco data was obtained. The tobacco data sensing device in this embodiment can also retrieve valid tobacco data matching the search keywords at a time granularity, such as hour or minute.

[0028] Since solid-state drives (SSDs) have fast read / write speeds but are more expensive, while hard disk drives (HDDs) are less expensive, this approach can balance data processing performance and cost.

[0029] Optionally, the device in this embodiment further includes a motherboard disposed within the housing cavity, and the processor module is connected to the motherboard. Here, "connection" refers to an electrical connection. The hard disk drive (HDD) is connected to the processor module via the motherboard's Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface. The solid-state drive (SSD) is connected to the processor module via the motherboard's Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface. This device supports parallel reading and writing of data from both the HDD and SSD.

[0030] Optionally, the device further includes a motherboard disposed within the housing cavity. In scenarios where the processor module is connected to the motherboard, the memory module in this embodiment is connected to the processor module via a memory slot on the motherboard. For example, the memory slot in this embodiment can be a DDR4 slot. The data access module and data transmission module can be connected to the processor module via corresponding controllers on the motherboard. In this implementation, the processor module can communicate bidirectionally with the memory module and storage module via the motherboard's Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus, and control the start / stop of the data access module and power supply module via the onboard General-Purpose Input / Output (GPIO) interface.

[0031] In distributed hardware solutions using related technologies, technicians need to be proficient in operating multiple independent software programs and manually configure key parameters such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, subnet masks, and routing, requiring high levels of professional skills. When enterprise data transmission needs change or equipment locations are adjusted, hardware and software reconfiguration is necessary, making it difficult to quickly adapt to changing scenarios. Furthermore, when multiple devices and software programs work together, a failure in any link (such as poor hardware contact or software crash) can paralyze the entire system. The tobacco data sensing device provided in this embodiment addresses the pain points of conventional technologies such as "distributed hardware, poor compatibility, complex deployment, and low stability." Based on a mature data integration unit hardware architecture, it designs an integrated tobacco data sensing device. By integrating core hardware functions such as tobacco data acquisition, data processing, storage, and transmission, it adapts to existing enterprise data source devices and rack environments, achieving a "plug-and-play" acquisition mode, reducing hardware costs and maintenance difficulty, and providing stable and efficient logistics data support for situational awareness. Moreover, because the device is "plug-and-play," it can quickly adapt to changing scenarios, offering high flexibility. Therefore, this tobacco data sensing device solves the problems of complex deployment and insufficient compatibility caused by the dispersed hardware in conventional technologies, as well as the problems of cumbersome operation procedures, high requirements for professional skills, and poor flexibility, and the problem of weak system stability, thus meeting the enterprise's needs for convenience and reliability in data integration and sharing.

[0032] This embodiment provides an integrated tobacco data sensing device, which integrates a processor module, a memory module, a storage module, a data access module, a data transmission module, and a power supply module, all housed within a housing cavity. The processor module collects raw tobacco data from a data source device via the data access module. The memory module caches the raw tobacco data. The processor module also performs data cleaning on the raw tobacco data to obtain valid tobacco data. The storage module stores the valid tobacco data. The processor module transmits the valid tobacco data to a data analysis device via the data transmission module. On one hand, compared to distributed hardware, this integrated tobacco data sensing device achieves a "plug-and-play" data sensing mode, reducing deployment difficulty and improving deployment efficiency. Furthermore, it avoids issues such as interface incompatibility and communication protocol conflicts, preventing data transmission obstruction and improving data sensing efficiency. On the other hand, by incorporating a memory module to cache raw tobacco data, the device prevents data processing lag during data cleaning by the processor module, thereby improving data cleaning efficiency.

The front panel 101, the rear housing 102, the top cover 103, the bottom plate, the first side plate 104, and the second side plate 105 form a cuboid.

[0035] Please combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In this embodiment, the display interaction module 19 can be disposed on the panel 101. The display interaction module 19 includes: a display screen 191, a first indicator light 192, a second indicator light 193, and a third indicator light 194.

[0036] Display screen 191 is used to display the device's operating status information, such as the acquisition rate, the amount of data stored, and the power status. For example, in this embodiment, display screen 191 can be a 2.4-inch Liquid Crystal Module (LCM), and its resolution can be 320×240.

[0037] The first state of the first indicator light 192 indicates that the device is in normal operation, and the second state of the first indicator light 192 indicates that the device is in the state of collecting raw tobacco data from the data source device. In this embodiment, the first indicator light 192 can also be referred to as the running light. For example, the first state can be green, and the second state can be flashing.

[0038] The third state of the second indicator light 193 is used to indicate that the device is transmitting valid tobacco data to the data analysis device. The second indicator light 193 can also be referred to as a hard disk light. For example, the third state can be a flashing state.

[0040] Optionally, the display interaction module in this embodiment further includes: a first management interface connected to the processor module, the first management interface being connected to a management device. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first management interface 195 in this embodiment can be disposed on the rear cover 102. Exemplarily, the first management interface 195 in this embodiment can be a Registered Jack 45 (RJ45) type. The first management interface connects to a management device, which is used to debug the tobacco data sensing device.

[0041] In this device, which includes a motherboard housed within a housing cavity and a processor module connected to the motherboard, the display screen, first indicator light, second indicator light, and third indicator light can be connected to the processor module via the integrated circuit (I2C) interface on the motherboard. The first management interface communicates with the processor module via the universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface on the motherboard.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the data transmission module in this embodiment can be mounted on the rear cover 102. Figure 4 As shown, the data transmission module in this embodiment includes a first type of interface 151, a second type of interface 152, and a third type of interface 153. The first type of interface 151 is used to connect to a first type of data analysis device, the second type of interface 152 is used to connect to a second type of data analysis device, and the third type of interface 153 is used to connect to a display device.

[0043] The first type of interface in this embodiment can support the export of valid tobacco data by time interval (e.g., accurate to the hour). Optionally, the transmission rate of the first type of interface is greater than or equal to a preset second rate threshold, such as 500 megabits per second (Mbps). Exemplarily, the first type of interface 151 in this embodiment can be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. More specifically, the first type of interface 151 can be a USB 3.0 interface. This embodiment does not limit the number of first type interfaces. Figure 4 The example is illustrated by having two of the first type of interfaces 151.

[0044] For example, the second type of interface 152 in this embodiment can be an expansion module interface, such as an ENS expansion module interface. The second type of interface 152 in this embodiment can be connected to the second type of data analysis device via an RS485 interface through a converter, such as a Recommended Standard 485 (RS485) converter. This implementation allows the tobacco data sensing device to flexibly connect to various types of second-type analysis devices through the second type of interface, improving the device's scalability.

[0045] Optionally, both the first type of interface and the second type of interface in this embodiment can support Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to reduce the data transmission error rate.

[0046] For example, the third type of interface 153 in this embodiment can be a Video Graphics Array (VGA) interface. The VGA interface is used to connect an external display device and can also configure the display parameters of the display device. The operating status information of the device can be displayed on this display device.

[0047] In this device, which includes a motherboard housed within a housing cavity, and a processor module connected to the motherboard, a first type of interface is connected to the processor module via a first controller on the motherboard, a second type of interface is connected via a second controller on the motherboard, and a third type of interface is connected via a third controller on the motherboard. For data transmission, the hard disk drive (HDD) is connected to the first type of interface via a first conversion circuit on the motherboard. The HDD is also connected to the second type of interface via a second conversion circuit on the motherboard.

[0050] For example, in this embodiment, the second management interface and the data access interface can be Gigabit Ethernet (ETH) interfaces. The second management interface and the first management interface serve as backups for each other, enabling reliable debugging of the tobacco data sensing device.

[0051] This embodiment does not limit the number of the second management interface and the data access interface. Figure 4 The example uses one second management interface and seven data access interfaces.

[0052] Optionally, the default management IP of the tobacco data sensing device in this embodiment is 19.19.19.19 / 255.255.255.0, which is used by the administrator to configure the device's parameters through the management device. The data access interface in this embodiment can be adapted to existing data source devices within the enterprise, such as switches, and supports automatic identification of network flow (NetFlow) and / or IP flow information export (IPFIX) protocols, allowing for the capture of raw tobacco data without manual configuration. Multiple data access interfaces can connect to data source devices at various stages (e.g., switches in the cigarette storage area), enabling parallel data acquisition across multiple stages.

[0053] Optionally, the data access interface in this embodiment can be connected to the mirror port of the data source device.

[0054] In a scenario where the device includes a motherboard housed in a housing cavity and a processor module connected to the motherboard, the second management interface and the data access interface are connected to the processor module via the motherboard's gigabit Ethernet controller.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, the data transmission rate of the data access interface is greater than a preset third rate threshold, such as 100Mbps, and supports full-duplex mode.

[0056] Optionally, the power supply module in this embodiment includes a main power supply module and a backup power supply module. Both the main power supply module and the backup power supply module contain a fuse connected in series and a varistor connected in parallel.

[0057] Optionally, the fuse in this embodiment is a resettable fuse to provide overcurrent protection. For example, the overcurrent threshold of the fuse can be 2.2 amps (A). The varistor in this embodiment can provide overvoltage protection. For example, the overvoltage threshold of the varistor can be 12.6 volts (V) of direct current.

[0058] The main power module and backup power module can convert AC 220V / 50Hz power into a voltage suitable for each module, providing a stable supply to each module. The switching time of the main power module and backup power module is less than a preset time threshold, such as 50 milliseconds, to prevent the tobacco data sensing device from malfunctioning due to a single power supply failure.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the power input interface 161 and the power switch 162 in the power module can be disposed on the rear cover 102.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a grounding port 20, which can be located on the rear housing 102. The grounding port allows the shielding layer of connecting wires, such as cables, to be grounded, thereby improving anti-interference performance.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the device and the data source device are housed in a cabinet, and the distance between the device and the data source device is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, thereby reducing transmission loss and energy consumption. For example, the preset distance threshold can be 1.5 meters.

[0064] Figure 7 This is an installation schematic diagram of a tobacco data sensing device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to... Figures 3 to 7 In this embodiment, the tobacco data sensing device 71 is fixed to the cabinet via the front ear 22. For example... Figure 7 As shown in the left figure, the front ear 22 is first fixed to the ear-hook mounting holes on both sides of the tobacco data sensing device 71 using screws. Figure 7 As shown in the right figure, the front ear 22 is then fixed to the front hole strip 72 of the cabinet using screws. This completes the installation of the tobacco data sensing device within the cabinet.

[0065] The deployment process of this tobacco data sensing device is described below. It should be noted that the types and quantities of the components described below are illustrative only, and this embodiment does not exclude other implementation methods.

[0066] 1. Installation of the device in the cabinet.

[0067] Preparation before assembly: Check the packing list and confirm that the main unit, power cord, serial cable, VGA cable, front ear (1 pair), front ear pins (8), guide rail bracket (1 pair), guide rail pins (10), top rack screws (8), and top cover special pins (8) are complete. Prepare expansion screws, reinforced Category 6 (CAT6A) shielded network cable, and RS485 cable.

[0068] Mounting ears and guide rails: Use front ear clips (M4 size) to fix the front ears to the mounting holes on both sides of the main unit; use guide rail clips to fix the guide rail bracket at the corresponding position on the side of the cabinet, ensuring that the bracket is horizontal and that the spacing of the square holes in the cabinet matches the size of the device; install the inner rail of the guide rail on the device; install the outer rail of the guide rail on the guide rail bracket.

[0069] Equipment fixing: Install 4 floating nuts (2 on each side) on the front hole strip of the cabinet to support the device. Push the device into the cabinet by using the inner and outer rails of the guide rail to align the front lug with the floating nuts. Fix the device to the cabinet with the mounting screws (M6 specification) to ensure that the distance between the device and the data source device is less than or equal to 1.5 meters (to reduce network cable transmission loss).

[0070] Grounding wire connection: Connect one end of the grounding wire to the grounding port on the back of the device and the other end to the grounding busbar of the cabinet. Ensure that the grounding resistance is less than or equal to 4 ohms (Ω) to avoid electromagnetic interference and lightning strike risks.

[0071] 2. Interface connection and power supply startup.

[0072] Network interface connection: Insert one end of a CAT6A shielded network cable into the gigabit mirror port of the data source device and the other end into the data access interface of the device; connect one end of a regular gigabit network cable to the network port of the management computer and the other end into the second management interface of the device.

[0073] Data transmission interface connection: Connect one end of the RS485 cable to the ENS expansion module port on the back of the device (an adapter is required to access the RS485 signal), and the other end to the RS485 interface of the tobacco company's situational awareness system. Ground both ends of the cable shielding layer. If an external display is required, connect the device's VGA port to the display using a VGA cable.

[0074] Power supply startup: Connect the dual redundant power input interfaces of the device to a 220V industrial AC socket (ensure that the two power supplies are independent). Press the power switch on the back of the device and observe the indicator lights on the front panel. A solid power light indicates normal power supply, and a flashing operation light indicates that the device is starting up. After initialization is completed within 30 seconds, the operation light will be solid and the LCM screen will display "Acquisition ready".

[0075] 3. Hardware parameter debugging is achieved through the second management interface.

[0076] Configuration of management computer: Set the IP address of the management computer to 19.19.19.X (X is 2-254, subnet mask 255.255.255.0), the subnet mask matches the device's default management IP (19.19.19.19), and test the connectivity between the management computer and the device (i.e., packet loss rate = 0) using the ping command.

[0077] 4. Data acquisition, operation, and status monitoring.

[0078] Data Acquisition Startup: After initialization, the device automatically starts data acquisition. The data access interface captures raw tobacco data from the image of the data source device in real time and transmits it to the processor module. The processor module schedules the memory module to cache the data and calls the solid-state drive's embedded algorithm for data cleaning and feature extraction. The processed valid tobacco data is synchronously stored to a 4TB mechanical hard drive and transmitted to the situational awareness system via an RS485 interface.

[0079] The tobacco data sensing device provided in this embodiment can achieve the following technical effects: 1. Improved deployment efficiency: The deployment time of a single device is reduced from 4 hours to 5 minutes. No re-adjustment is required when changing the collection area. It can flexibly adapt to the adjustment needs of data collection scenarios, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of deployment; 2. Optimized compatibility: The data access interface is compatible with the enterprise's existing data source equipment. The dual redundant power supply matches the AC220V power supply of the cabinet, eliminating the need to purchase additional converters or modify the cabinet. The adaptation cost of a single link is reduced by 2,000 yuan. The hardware interfaces (USB, VGA, RS485) adopt industry-standard standards and can be seamlessly connected with the enterprise's existing display equipment and situational awareness system; 3. Data quality assurance: The processor module can accurately filter invalid traffic through the tobacco data feature library. The effective traffic extraction rate is ≥98%, and the data transmission rate is ≥100Mbps, ensuring that the data transmitted to the situational awareness system is "real-time, accurate, and complete," providing reliable support for abnormal early warning (such as AGV path deviation and order outbound delay).
