[0048] Among them, the input interface 12 is used to connect to at least one external sensor device. The input interface 12 can be at least one of an RS485 interface, an RS232 interface, and a digital input DI interface. For example, the input interface 12 can be designed as at least one of a multi-channel RS485 interface, a multi-channel RS232 interface, and a multi-channel DI interface. The multi-channel RS485 interface and the multi-channel RS232 interface both refer to serial communication interfaces with multiple independent channels. Both the RS485 interface and the RS232 interface are serial communication protocols. The RS485 interface is usually used for multi-point communication, supporting long-distance transmission and high-speed data transmission, while the RS232 interface is commonly used for point-to-point communication. The multi-channel DI interface refers to a digital input interface with 8 independent channels. The DI interface is used to receive digital signals, usually switch inputs, such as sensor signals.
[0049] The at least one external sensing device that can be connected to the input interface 12 includes at least one of a smoke sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a water immersion sensor, a gas sensor, and a video monitor, and these devices can monitor different parameters of the environment, such as gas concentration, temperature and humidity, water leakage, and visual information.

[0050] The input interface 12 is connected to the communication module 13, or is arranged in the communication module 13. That is, the input interface 12 and the communication module 13 can be separate entities, and data is exchanged between them through appropriate electrical connections. This connection may be achieved through pins, terminals or other connectors to ensure that the signal can be accurately transmitted between the two modules. Alternatively, the input interface 12 is integrated into the communication module 13 to simplify the hardware design of the system, reduce the number of components, thereby reducing costs and improving reliability. In the following embodiments, only the input interface 12 is arranged in the communication module 13 as an example for explanation.

[0055] The output interface is connected to the communication module 13, or is arranged in the communication module 13. That is, the output interface and the communication module 13 can be separate entities, and data is exchanged between them through appropriate electrical connections. Alternatively, the output interface is integrated into the communication module 13 to simplify the hardware design of the system, reduce the number of components, thereby reducing costs and improving reliability. In the following embodiments, only the output interface is arranged in the communication module 13 as an example for description.
[0056] Optionally, the system further includes: at least one of a power supply and switch, a network port, a USB interface, a SIM card slot, and a reset hole provided in the housing 11. For example, at least one of the above-mentioned input interface 12, output interface, power supply and switch, network port, USB interface, SIM card slot, and reset hole is provided at the bottom of the housing 11.
[0057] It should be noted that the relevant details of the above modules can be found in the relevant description in the following embodiments and will not be introduced here.
[0058] In summary, the intelligent integrated laboratory monitoring system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects compared with the split monitoring equipment system in the related art: On the one hand, the integration is high: the input interface, communication module, monitoring module, alarm module and display module are integrated in one housing, which reduces the need for external connection lines and equipment and simplifies the complexity of the system. On the other hand, the space occupancy is small: due to the integrated design, the entire system occupies less space, which is particularly suitable for laboratory environments with limited space. On the other hand, it is easy to install and maintain: the integrated design makes the installation process simpler and faster, and maintenance and upgrades are also more convenient. On the other hand, the operating efficiency is improved: the user can perform all operations through a unified interface without switching between different devices, which improves work efficiency. On the other hand, it is convenient for data integration: all data from sensors can be processed and analyzed through the same monitoring module, which helps to achieve data integration and comprehensive evaluation. On the other hand, it is easy to expand: the input interface can be connected to at least one external sensor device, plug and play, which means that the system can be easily expanded as needed, increasing the flexibility of the system. On the other hand, real-time monitoring and alarm are possible: the monitoring module can process data from sensors in real time, and once an abnormal situation is detected, the alarm module can immediately sound an alarm to ensure that laboratory personnel can take timely action. On the other hand, it has remote monitoring capabilities: the communication module allows the system to be connected to an external network, thereby realizing remote monitoring and management, which is an important function for laboratory managers. On the other hand, the user experience is improved: the display module provides an intuitive interface that allows users to easily view system status and alarm information, improving the user experience. Therefore, the intelligent integrated laboratory monitoring system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an efficient, space-saving, easy-to-operate and maintain solution through its integrated design, which is suitable for laboratory environments that require precise environmental monitoring.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a system structure diagram of an intelligent integrated laboratory monitoring system provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The system includes: a housing 11, a communication module 13, a monitoring module 14, an alarm module 15, a GSM module 17 and a display module 16 integrated in the housing 11. The input interface in the communication module 13 is connected to at least one external sensing device, and the at least one external sensing device includes at least one of a smoke sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a water immersion sensor, a gas sensor, and a video monitor. The output interface in the communication module 13 is connected to at least one external linkage device, for example, the external linkage device includes a ventilation device, etc. The following further introduces several modules in the monitoring system.
[0060] 1. Casing 11:
[0061] The housing 11 can be designed as a wall-mounted housing, which means that the monitoring system can be conveniently installed on a wall or other vertical surface. This design is usually used to save space and provide a more stable and safe installation method in a specific environment. For the convenience of description, the following description is only taken as an example that the housing 11 is a wall-mounted housing.
[0062] The back of the wall-mounted case is used to connect the bracket to the specified position. The back of the wall-mounted case can be designed with special interfaces or holes for connecting the bracket. These brackets can usually be adjusted in angle and direction as needed to suit different installation requirements.
[0063] The wall-mounted housing is usually made of strong and durable materials, such as steel plates, aluminum alloys, etc. These materials not only provide good protection performance, but also ensure that the housing 11 still maintains a good appearance after long-term use.
[0064] Since the wall-mounted housing is close to the wall, its heat dissipation design is particularly important. Common heat dissipation measures include arranging fans, heat sinks, etc. inside the housing 11, and arranging ventilation holes outside the housing 11 to ensure that the device will not overheat during long-term operation.
[0065] In order to ensure the functionality and user-friendliness of the monitoring system, the status indicator light of the communication module 13 can be set on the top of the wall-mounted housing, so that the user can observe the working status of the communication module 13 from a distance or without moving the monitoring system. These status indicators may include DI indicator light, DO indicator light, serial port light, status light, etc., which are used to display digital input, output status, serial port activity and the overall operation status of the system. The LED alarm light of the alarm module 15 can also be set on the top of the wall-mounted housing. The LED alarm light exposed on the top of the wall-mounted housing can quickly attract attention when an abnormal situation occurs, such as flashing red to indicate a fault or alarm state.
[0066] Sound output holes can be set on the left and right sides of the wall-mounted casing, which means that the monitoring system has an audio output function and can be used to play alarm sounds, voice prompts or music, etc. This design takes into account the needs of space utilization and sound transmission.
[0067] The bottom of the wall-mounted housing may also be provided with at least one of an input interface, an output interface, a power supply and a switch, a network port, a USB port, a SIM card slot, and a reset hole.
[0068] Input interface (such as 8-channel RS485 interface and 8-channel RS232 interface): provides a variety of optional digital input methods, suitable for connecting various external sensor devices and other digital input devices.
[0069] Output interface (such as the DO interface of the relay): The monitoring system can provide digital output signals through the relay, which can be used to connect various external linkage devices, such as fans, lights, motors, etc.
[0070] Power supply and switch: The bottom of the wall-mounted casing can be designed with a power socket and switch to facilitate connecting and disconnecting the power supply and ensure the safe use of the equipment.
[0071] Network port (such as 1 RJ45 interface): provides Ethernet connection, supports device access to LAN or the Internet, and realizes remote monitoring and management.
[0072] USB interface (such as 2 USB interfaces): can be used to connect a USB flash drive, mouse, keyboard or other USB devices to facilitate data exchange and device operation.
[0073] SIM card slot (e.g. 1 SIM card slot): indicates that the monitoring system can have wireless communication capabilities, such as data transmission via GPRS, 3G, 4G or LTE.
[0074] Reset hole: used to manually reset the monitoring system when the monitoring system fails or needs to be restarted.
[0075] In an illustrative example, Figure 4 As shown, it shows a communication wiring diagram of an 8-channel RS485 interface and an 8-channel RS232 interface provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Among them, "COM1 to COM8" refers to a serial communication interface with 8 independent channels, "Tx" refers to the transmission line, "Rx" refers to the receiving line, and "GND" refers to the ground line, and "A+" refers to the positive line of the differential signal, which is used to indicate a high level in the communication of the RS485 interface. "B-" refers to the negative line of the differential signal, which is used to indicate a low level in the communication of the RS485 interface.
[0076] In an illustrative example, Figure 5As shown, it shows a wiring diagram of a DI interface and a DO interface provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In the DI interface, "DI1 to DI4, DI5 to DI8" are the numbers of digital input signals, representing different input channels respectively. "com1" and "com2" are both common terminals, which are usually used for signal ground in RS232 interface or RS485 interface communication. "GND" refers to the ground wire, and "24V+" indicates the positive pole of the 24-volt DC power supply, which provides the necessary power for the DI interface. In the DO interface, "DO to DO4, DO5 to DO8" are the numbers of digital output signals, representing different output channels respectively. "GND" refers to the ground wire, "N" refers to the neutral wire, and "L1, L2" refer to the power lines provided to the DO interface module. "KA" refers to a contact of a relay, which is used to amplify the DO signal to drive a high-power load. "24V+" indicates the positive pole of the 24-volt DC power supply, which provides the necessary power for the DO interface.
[0077] 2. Communication module 13:
[0078] The communication module 13 may include, but is not limited to, a data acquisition unit, a data communication unit, and a status indication unit.
[0079] The data acquisition unit of the communication module 13 can obtain the sensor data collected by the external sensor through the input interface. The sensor data can be used to indicate at least one of the temperature, humidity, whether there is flammable or toxic gas, oxygen concentration, water leakage, and smoke in the monitoring environment. These sensor data are accessed through the control signal of the data acquisition unit, and then transmitted to the monitoring module 14 by the data communication unit of the communication module 13. The control signal access supports input interfaces such as RS485 interface, RS232 interface, DI interface, etc., and supports multiple field bus communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, among which Modbus RTU is a serial communication protocol.
[0080] The status indication unit of the communication module 13 is used to indicate the status of the monitoring system itself. The status indication unit can be a status indicator light. For example, there are four main types of status indicator lights: DO indicator light, DI indicator light, serial port light, and status light. DO indicator light: indicates the status of the digital output signal of the monitoring system, such as the opening and closing status of the relay. DI indicator light: indicates the status of the digital input signal received by the monitoring system, such as the signal from a switch or an external sensor. Serial port light: indicates the interface activity status of the monitoring system, such as data transmission and reception. Status light: indicates the working status of the monitoring system, such as normal operation, fault or alarm.
[0081] 3. Monitoring module 14
[0082] The monitoring module 14 may include, but is not limited to, a logic analysis and processing unit, a data communication unit, a linkage control unit, an environment monitoring unit, and a power management unit.
[0083] The monitoring module 14 can rely on the microcontroller unit (MCU) and the real-time clock (RTC), which means that in actual applications, the monitoring module 14 can execute programs through the MCU to realize functions such as logical analysis, data processing and linkage control of sensor data. At the same time, it also needs RTC to provide accurate time reference to ensure that time-sensitive tasks can be executed on time, and to provide accurate time tags for event logs, etc. This dependency ensures that the monitoring module 14 can work stably and reliably in various environments. The monitoring module 14 is mainly used for logical analysis and processing (edge acquisition, calculation, analysis), data communication, linkage control, environmental monitoring, power management, etc. of sensor data, and plays the role of the central nervous system.
[0084] The monitoring module 14 can automatically perform environmental monitoring, including but not limited to at least one of gas monitoring, temperature and humidity monitoring, water leakage monitoring, abnormal personnel behavior monitoring and smoke monitoring, and perform threshold setting and alarm. It supports data timing, active reporting of changes and remote testing and reporting, and supports remote reverse control and other functions.
[0085] Gas monitoring: monitor the concentration of combustible gases such as hydrogen, methane, acetylene, and the concentration of combustible and toxic gases such as ammonia and CO, as well as the concentration of oxygen, etc. When the concentration exceeds the set threshold, the alarm is activated immediately, and the external linkage device can be controlled at the same time, such as turning on the fan to disperse the concentration.
[0086] Temperature and humidity monitoring: For the precision electronic equipment in the laboratory, its normal operation has high requirements for the ambient temperature and humidity. Therefore, the design installs temperature and humidity sensors in important parts, and immediately activates the alarm once an abnormality is found.
[0087] Water leakage monitoring: It detects and alarms various liquids such as water, oil, acid, alkali, etc. Modern laboratories are equipped with many precision electronic equipment and have extremely strict requirements on the environment, especially under the floor where there are many cables, which also bury hidden dangers. Water sensors are installed on the mainframe of precision equipment, water inlet and outlet pipes, low-lying areas of the laboratory or places prone to water accumulation to detect water leakage, and the alarm is activated immediately if an abnormality is found.
[0088] Abnormal personnel behavior monitoring: Use video surveillance devices to monitor the behavior of personnel in the laboratory. When abnormal behavior occurs, an alarm is immediately activated, such as falling, running, gathering, etc.
[0089] Smoke monitoring: Monitor the smoke concentration in the laboratory and activate the alarm immediately if any abnormality is found.
[0090] When the monitoring module 14 detects an abnormality, the alarm module 15 is activated, and the linkage control unit of the monitoring module 14 outputs a control signal, which is transmitted via the data communication unit to an external linkage device connected to the output interface, such as controlling a ventilation device for opening / closing control.
[0091] The monitoring module 14 can obtain the sensor data collected by the external sensor device through the communication module 13 , can also obtain the control signal sent by the display module 16 through the GSM module 17 , and can also output the control signal to the external linkage device through the communication module 13 .
[0092] 4. Alarm module 15
[0093] The alarm module 15 may be an audible and visual alarm module 15. When the monitoring module 14 detects an abnormality, the audible and visual alarm function of the audible and visual alarm module 15 is activated.
[0094] The sound and light alarm module 15 may include a buzzer and / or an LED alarm light. The control signal output by the monitoring module 14 triggers the buzzer to sound and / or the LED alarm light to flash. The LED alarm light may be exposed on the top of the wall-mounted housing.
[0095] 5. GSM module 17
[0096] The monitoring module 14 can be connected to the display module 16 via the GSM module 17 , that is, the monitoring module 14 can transmit the collected sensor data to the display module 16 via the GSM module 17 , and display the data in real time via the touch screen of the display module 16 .
[0097] The monitoring module 14 can obtain the sensing data of each sensor at a fixed frequency, and then add a frame header, a frame footer, a checksum and other contents to the sensing data, encapsulate it into a data frame, and send the encapsulated data frame to the display module 16 through the GSM module 17.
[0098] 6. Display module 16
[0099] The display module 16 may include a touch display and an environmental monitoring management platform. All real-time information of the laboratory can be understood through the touch display of the display module 16, which assists in decision-making and improves the management efficiency of the laboratory.
[0100] After receiving the data frame sent by the monitoring module 14, the display module 16 can identify, verify and extract the data contained in the data frame to obtain the sensor data of each sensor. The touch display displays the sensor data on the environmental monitoring management software interface, supports re-packaging of the sensor data, and then sends the packaged sensor data to the host computer through a preset protocol (such as TCP protocol).
[0101] The display module 16 can also send a control signal to the monitoring module 14 through the GSM module 17 using a preset protocol (such as TCP protocol) to control the monitoring module 14 or change its working mode.
[0102] The display module 16 has a data storage function, which can save various monitoring data, alarm data, user data, etc., and supports data export, data deletion, etc.
