[0039] Example 1:

[0040] This embodiment provides a switch control method, which operates in the controller of a switch control system. In this first embodiment, the switching device is mainly used in the following two scenarios:

[0041] The first type: Switching devices are used to control the power supply and power cut-off of household appliances such as lighting, air conditioners, televisions, mobile phone chargers, and heaters. These household appliances can be used in pre-designed spaces such as dormitories, hotel rooms, public rental housing, and conference rooms.

[0042] The second type: Switching devices can also be used to control the power on and off of industrial equipment, serving as control switches for industrial equipment.

[0043] The switching control method in this application is mainly used for intelligent control of switching devices in the two usage scenarios mentioned above. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method may specifically include the following steps:

[0044] Step S110: Receive the characteristic parameters of the object to be monitored in real time from the parameter acquisition element.

[0045] When controlling the switching device in the first scenario, the parameter acquisition elements to be set are infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors and / or image sensors. The number of people in the preset space is collected through the aforementioned parameter acquisition elements, and the collected number of people in the preset space is used as the characteristic parameter of the object to be monitored.

[0046] When controlling switching devices in the second scenario, the parameter acquisition elements that need to be set include current sensors, voltage sensors, and / or temperature sensors, which are used to collect the operating current and power supply frequency of the industrial equipment, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment, and / or the operating temperature of the industrial equipment, respectively, and use the operating current and power supply frequency, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment, and / or the operating temperature of the industrial equipment as characteristic parameters of the object to be monitored.

[0047] Step S120: If the characteristic parameters meet the first preset conditions, send a first control command to the switching device to make the switching device perform a first switching action.

[0048] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switch device in the first scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the first preset conditions, a first control command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device perform a first switching action, including: if the number of people in the preset space is zero, a disconnect command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device be in the disconnected state.

[0049] For example, when the controller detects that no one is in the room, it sends a disconnect command to the switch to turn it off, thereby turning off the power to the lights in the room; or, when the controller detects that no one is in a preset area of ​​the room, it controls the lights in the corresponding area to turn off the power, thereby enabling refined management of the room's lighting, saving energy and reducing waste of resources.

[0050] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switching device in the second scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the first preset conditions, a first control command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device perform a first switching action, including: if the operating current, operating voltage, operating temperature and / or power supply frequency of the industrial equipment are outside the preset range, a disconnect command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device in the disconnected state.

[0051] For example, when industrial equipment is in an abnormal operating state, if the parameter acquisition element detects that the operating current of the industrial equipment is greater than the preset rated current, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment is greater than the rated voltage, the operating temperature of the industrial equipment is higher than the set temperature value, and / or the power supply frequency of the industrial equipment is greater than the rated frequency, the controller sends a disconnect command to the switching device to control the switching device to be in the disconnected state, thereby cutting off the power to the industrial equipment, automatically cutting off the power supply, and preventing the industrial equipment from being damaged due to prolonged abnormal operating conditions.

[0052] Step S130: If the characteristic parameters meet the second preset conditions, send a second control command to the switching device to make the switching device perform a second switching action.

[0053] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switch device in the first scenario, if the characteristic parameter meets the second preset condition, a second control command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device perform a second switching action, including: if the number of people in the preset space is greater than zero, a closing command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device be in a closed state.

[0054] For example, if no one is in the room before a certain moment, the controller will keep the switch in the open state, and the lights in the room will be off. However, if someone enters the room after a certain moment, the parameter acquisition element will detect the entry and the controller will send a closing command to the switch to close it, that is, change the switch from the open state to the closed state. At this time, the lights in the room will be powered on to illuminate the room.

[0055] Understandably, when everyone in the room has left, the control process of this switch control system applies to the situation where no one is in the room. That is, the controller will control the switch to change from the closed state to the open state, so that the lights in the room are turned off.

[0056] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switching device in the second scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the second preset conditions, a second control command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device perform a second switching action, including: the operating current of the industrial equipment, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment, the operating temperature of the industrial equipment, and the power supply frequency of the industrial equipment are within a preset range, and a closing command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device be in a closed state.

[0057] When the industrial equipment is in normal working condition, the controller keeps the switching device in the closed state, which does not affect the normal operation of the industrial equipment. When the industrial equipment becomes abnormal, the controller will control the switching device to change from the closed state to the open state, thereby cutting off the power to the industrial equipment.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] This embodiment provides a switch control system. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a parameter acquisition element, a controller, and a switching device, both of which are signal-connected to the controller. In this second embodiment, the switching device is mainly used in the following two scenarios:

[0060] The first type involves switching devices used to control the power supply to and from household appliances such as lights, air conditioners, televisions, mobile phone chargers, and heaters. These appliances can be installed in pre-designed spaces such as dormitories, hotel rooms, public rental housing, and conference rooms. In this scenario, the required parameter acquisition elements are infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and / or image sensors. These elements are used to collect the number of people in the pre-designed space, and this number is used as a characteristic parameter of the object to be monitored.

[0061] The second type: Switching devices can also be used to control the power on and off of industrial equipment, serving as industrial equipment. In this scenario, the parameter acquisition elements that need to be set include current sensors, voltage sensors, and / or temperature sensors, which are used to collect the operating current and power supply frequency, operating voltage, and / or operating temperature of the industrial equipment, respectively, and use the operating current and power supply frequency, operating voltage, and / or operating temperature of the industrial equipment as characteristic parameters of the object to be monitored.

[0062] The controller is configured to: receive characteristic parameters of the object to be monitored in real time from the parameter acquisition element; if the characteristic parameters meet a first preset condition, send a first control command to the switching device to cause the switching device to perform a first switching action; if the characteristic parameters meet a second preset condition, send a second control command to the switching device to cause the switching device to perform a second switching action.

[0063] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switch device in the first scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the first preset conditions, a first control command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device perform a first switching action, including: if the number of people in the preset space is zero, a disconnect command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device be in the disconnected state.

[0064] For example, when the controller detects that no one is in the room, it sends a disconnect command to the switch to turn it off, thereby turning off the power to the lights in the room; or, when the controller detects that no one is in a preset area of ​​the room, it controls the lights in the corresponding area to turn off the power, thereby enabling refined management of the room's lighting, saving energy and reducing waste of resources.

[0065] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switching device in the second scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the first preset conditions, a first control command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device perform a first switching action, including: if the operating current, operating voltage, operating temperature and / or power supply frequency of the industrial equipment are outside the preset range, a disconnect command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device in the disconnected state.

[0066] For example, when industrial equipment is in an abnormal operating state, if the parameter acquisition element detects that the operating current of the industrial equipment is greater than the preset rated current, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment is greater than the rated voltage, the operating temperature of the industrial equipment is higher than the set temperature value, and / or the power supply frequency of the industrial equipment is greater than the rated frequency, the controller sends a disconnect command to the switching device to control the switching device to be in the disconnected state, thereby cutting off the power to the industrial equipment, automatically cutting off the power supply, and preventing the industrial equipment from being damaged due to prolonged abnormal operating conditions.

[0067] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switch device in the first scenario, if the characteristic parameter meets the second preset condition, a second control command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device perform a second switching action, including: if the number of people in the preset space is greater than zero, a closing command is sent to the switch device to make the switch device be in a closed state.

[0068] For example, if no one is in the room before a certain moment, the controller will keep the switch in the open state, and the lights in the room will be off. However, if someone enters the room after a certain moment, the parameter acquisition element will detect the entry and the controller will send a closing command to the switch to close it, that is, change the switch from the open state to the closed state. At this time, the lights in the room will be powered on to illuminate the room.

[0069] Understandably, when everyone in the room has left, the control process of this switch control system applies to the situation where no one is in the room. That is, the controller will control the switch to change from the closed state to the open state, so that the lights in the room are turned off.

[0070] Specifically, when the switch control system controls the switching device in the second scenario, if the characteristic parameters meet the second preset conditions, a second control command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device perform a second switching action, including: the operating current of the industrial equipment, the operating voltage of the industrial equipment, the operating temperature of the industrial equipment, and the power supply frequency of the industrial equipment are within a preset range, and a closing command is sent to the switching device to make the switching device be in a closed state.

[0071] When the industrial equipment is in normal working condition, the controller keeps the switching device in the closed state, which does not affect the normal operation of the industrial equipment. When the industrial equipment becomes abnormal, the controller will control the switching device to change from the closed state to the open state, thereby cutting off the power to the industrial equipment.

[0072] In this embodiment, the switching device includes an electromagnetic switch, an electric switch, a PLC combination switch, and / or a silicon controlled thyristor. The electromagnetic switch includes a relay, etc.

[0073] Furthermore, the controller includes a wireless communication module, which connects the controller to the switching device via the wireless communication module, enabling remote setting of both the controller and the switching device.
