[0024] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a clothing machine Internet of Things terminal, which includes a shell, a base connected to the shell, a control circuit board arranged in the shell, and a side wall of the shell is provided with an opening for exposing the interface. The control circuit board includes a main control MCU, a first communication interface connected to the main control MCU, a second communication interface connected to the main control MCU, at least one (or one) external capture input interface connected to the main control MCU, and a wireless communication module connected to the main control MCU, wherein the first communication interface is a master-slave switching interface, and the wireless communication module is connected to the control terminal. The wireless communication module adopts a ZIGBEE communication module.

[0027] In this embodiment, the main control MCU adopts GD32 series Cortex-M3 GD32F303CBT6, with a main frequency of 120MHZ. The MCU supports multiple serial ports, one master-slave USB interface, multiple IO capture and external interrupts, multiple groups of timers, etc., and has rich resources. In this embodiment, two groups of timers are used, one group of timers is 10ms timing, providing timing services for the system, and the other group is 10us timing, providing a benchmark for the external capture input interface to improve accuracy.

[0028] The first communication interface adopts a USB interface, which can perform master-slave switching for sewing machine controllers with different USB interface modes to collect sewing machine data in real time.

[0029] The control circuit board includes an onboard warning light and a warning light output interface connected to the onboard warning light. The onboard warning light includes a power warning light, a system operation warning light, a clothing machine networking communication warning light, and an external capture input warning light. The onboard warning light adopts an LED light, and there are four corresponding onboard warning light output interfaces. The warning light output interface has a Darlington tube drive output. The aforementioned four warning lights can be set to different colors, such as red, yellow, green, and blue, so that the staff can distinguish the working status and make various warnings for the production site. Of course, the warning light can also adopt a multi-color warning light, with different colors to reflect different working states (for example, when it displays green, it is normal, and when it displays red, it is abnormal). In the specific implementation, according to actual needs, the warning light can also be replaced with a screen, but in this embodiment, in order to control the cost of the clothing machine Internet of Things terminal, only the indicator light is used.

[0030] The top of the shell is provided with a mounting groove for mounting a warning light, and the inner wall of the shell is provided with a receiving portion at a position corresponding to the mounting groove.

[0031] The control circuit board comprises a buzzer, which can emit a buzzer to remind the staff when the sewing machine is working abnormally, so that the staff can make adjustments, controls and repairs in time.

[0032] The control circuit board includes an extended communication interface. In this embodiment, the second communication interface and the extended communication interface are both RS232 interfaces. One of the second communication interface and the extended communication interface is connected to a sewing machine controller with an RS232 interface type to collect various sewing machine data in real time, and the other is used to expand other types of applications, such as external RFID readers, barcode guns, QR code readers, etc. to expand other applications.

[0033] The side wall of the base is provided with a connecting ear, through which the sewing machine Internet of Things terminal can be hung or fixed at a desired position, and is flexible to use.

[0034] The two external capture input interfaces are provided, and the external capture input interfaces are standard capture input IO interfaces. The two external capture input interfaces can be used to connect to old sewing machines without communication functions to sample the motor operation level, and then the average speed, maximum speed, and real-time data of the sewing machine status such as stop and thread trimming can be calculated according to the sampling frequency.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, pins 21 and 22 are connected to the first communication interface, pins 12 and 13 are connected to the extended communication interface, pins 30 and 31 are connected to the second communication interface, pins 29 and 32 are connected to the external capture input interface, and pins 14, 16, 18, and 19 are connected to four warning lights, respectively. In this embodiment, to avoid obstruction, interfaces such as USB and RS232 are not shown in the drawings.

[0036] During specific work, the wireless communication module is connected to the control terminal. The operation of the sewing machine IoT terminal is controlled by a pre-loaded software program. After the sewing machine IoT terminal successfully shakes hands with the sewing machine with a communication interface, the sewing machine is configured with parameters and data collection is performed. For sewing machines without a communication interface, the external IO capture and monitoring is performed through the external capture input interface, and the sewing machine data is sampled and captured. After obtaining the relevant data of the sewing machine, the acquired data is processed and then reported through the wireless communication module. During normal operation, the onboard warning light and buzzer give prompts according to the preset normal state. When a warning event occurs, the buzzer emits a preset warning buzzer to remind the staff, and the onboard warning light can also issue abnormal prompts (such as repeated flashing, etc.).
