Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of audio-visual equipment, in particular to a gas management component. Background Art

[0002] Now with the popularization of household gas and residents' increasing attention to gas safety and gas-related information, however, the current promotion of gas knowledge is more about popularizing relevant knowledge, which is quite different from the actual gas operations in life.

[0003] Nowadays, the daily use of gas may be irregular, and the automatic reading of the gas meter by the gas cloud may be inaccurate. The gas company's employees will regularly visit the site to check for risks such as gas leaks. However, when users use the gas, they only occasionally check the readings on the gas meter. When the gas meter is really abnormal or has a risk of gas leakage, they cannot find it in time. More importantly, the popular knowledge obtained through publicity cannot be truly applied to gas management and risk prevention. There are still deficiencies in gas management.

[0004] In order to reduce the inadequacies in gas management, gas companies have set up corresponding APP applications on mobile phones. Most residents obtain relevant information about gas safety and gas payment, gas outage and other information through their mobile phones. However, there are many APPs now, and relevant information about gas is easily overlooked. In particular, relevant tips on household gas safety may cause trouble if they are not paid attention to and handled in time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a gas management component for solving the problem that users cannot find gas anomalies in time.

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a gas management component, whose cross-sectional area is not greater than 4.8 square centimeters and whose volume is not greater than 7.4 cubic centimeters; the gas management component has a plug-in port, and is connected to a display device through the plug-in port; a receiving antenna is provided on the gas management component, and is wirelessly connected to a smart gas meter through the receiving antenna, and is used to receive gas information sent by the smart gas meter; the gas management component is used to receive gas information from the smart gas meter, and transmit the gas information to the display device for display and playback; the gas management component includes: a shell and a storage unit arranged in the shell for storing gas information element, and a receiving antenna arranged on the shell; the shell is a cube structure, and is provided with a first interface, a second interface, a third interface and a fourth interface for connecting to a display device; the left side of the shell is a first plane, the front side is a second plane, the right side is a third plane, and the back side is a fourth plane; wherein the first interface is located in the first plane, the second interface and the third interface are located in the second plane, and the fourth interface is located in the third plane; the storage unit is connected to a data line, and the storage unit is electrically connected to the second interface and the third interface respectively through the data line; the receiving antenna is fixedly mounted on the fourth plane of the shell, and is electrically connected to the storage unit.

[0007] Beneficial effects: This solution has developed this product, which can provide timely reminders of gas information and display relevant knowledge about gas; at the same time, when adding this product, it does not need to take up too much extra space, and it is small and light. In addition, adding this product does not require extra cables, and the installation is flexible and convenient without affecting the transmission stability of the smart gas meter. This product can ensure that it receives information from the smart gas meter while being suitable for connecting to a variety of display devices with different interface types.

[0008] First of all, the area of ​​an ordinary USB flash drive is about 3 square centimeters and the volume is about 3 cubic centimeters. Compared with the ordinary USB flash drive, the gas management component has a similar surface area and is about twice as large. The gas management component is small in size and does not take up too much space when used at home. It can store and send messages from the smart gas meter to the display device. At the same time, by changing the structure of the gas management component, even in the case of a small size, a variety of different interfaces can be set to adapt to different display devices, so that many devices can be connected and the flexibility is high.

[0009] Secondly, when inserted into the display device, it does not take up too much space, and due to its small size, it is easy to carry. At the same time, when connected to the display device, considering that only a single interface in the gas management component provides support, the light and small size setting can avoid the unstable connection caused by the weight of the display device when inserted for a long time.

[0010] Finally, since the second interface and the third interface are on the same horizontal plane, in order to prevent the second interface or the third interface from being inserted into the display device, due to the similar size of the two interfaces, which may cause the other interface to press against the surface of the display device, resulting in the interface being unable to be inserted into the display device easily, the second interface and the third interface are not directly in contact with the storage unit, which is prone to the above situation, but are separated from the second interface and the third interface by a data line to solve the above situation.

[0011] Preferably, the first interface is a USB 2.0 interface, the second interface is a Lightning interface, the third interface is a USB-A interface, and the fourth interface is a Type-C interface.

[0012] Beneficial effect: four types of interfaces are limited, and the four interfaces can meet the interfaces of currently common display devices.

[0013] Preferably, the display device includes a television, an LED display screen and an all-in-one machine.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The gas management component is applicable to a variety of display devices.

[0015] Preferably, the length of the data line is no more than 8 cm.

[0016] Beneficial effect: Limiting the length of the data cable. Since the volume of the gas management component is larger than that of the USB flash drive, if the length of the data cable is too long, when a certain interface is connected to the display device, the position of the gas management component is far lower than that of the interface due to the influence of the data cable, and the center of gravity moves downward seriously. During long-term use, it is very easy to cause the interface connection to be unstable. Therefore, by limiting the length of the data cable, even when the center of gravity moves downward and the volume is larger than that of the USB flash drive, a certain interface can be stably connected to the display device, and the service life of the gas management component is also extended.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the first interface and the bottom of the second interface are both located at the lower edge of the shell.

[0018] Beneficial effect: the center of gravity of the gas management component is raised so that the center of gravity of the gas management component can be as close as possible to the horizontal plane of the interface, making the interface more stable when connected to the display device.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a buzzer; the buzzer is fixedly installed on the top surface of the shell, the buzzer is connected to the storage unit of the single-chip microcomputer, a speaker and a volume adjustment button are provided on the buzzer, and the speaker and the volume adjustment button are respectively located on different planes of the buzzer.

[0020] Beneficial effect: When the display device is in standby mode, the display device cannot play sound externally. By setting the buzzer, a sound can be played externally to remind the user to check the relevant information of the gas.

[0021] Preferably, a first groove is provided on the surface of the speaker, the volume adjustment button is arranged in the first groove, and the length of the volume adjustment button is not greater than the length of the groove.

[0022] Beneficial effect: The length of the volume adjustment button is not greater than the length of the groove, that is, the volume adjustment button is placed in the first groove, lower than the surface of the buzzer, to prevent accidental touches from causing sudden changes in volume.

[0023] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the volume adjustment button is 1 square centimeter.

[0024] Beneficial effect: The cross-sectional size of an adult's thumb is 1 square centimeter. By designing the volume adjustment button in this way, it is more ergonomic and avoids sudden increase or decrease of the volume due to accidental touch.

[0025] Beneficial effects of the utility model

[0026] The utility model provides a gas management component, which, firstly, has an area of ​​no more than 4.8 square centimeters and a volume of no more than 7.4 cubic centimeters, and is portable; secondly, it adopts a multi-interface design and can be adapted to connect to currently common display devices.

[0027] At the same time, considering that when a multi-interface design is adopted, it is easy for multiple interfaces on the same horizontal plane to have similar lengths. When one interface is connected to the display device, the other interface presses against the surface of the display device, resulting in the interface being unable to connect to the display device. Therefore, a data cable is used to ensure that when one interface is connected to the display device, the other interface naturally droops due to the action of gravity, so as to achieve stable connection to the display device.

[0028] Next, since the gas management component is larger than the USB flash drive, when the interface at the end of the data cable is connected to the display device, the gas management component sags and its center of gravity moves downward due to the influence of the length of the data cable. At this time, since only the interface bears the weight of the gas management component, it is easy to have poor interface connection, even cracks and damage to the interface after long-term use. In order to ensure that the interface can be connected to the display device for a long time and stably, and to extend the service life of the gas management component, while ensuring that during the connection of a certain interface, the other interface can sag naturally and does not interfere with the connection of the interface to the display device, it is more appropriate to set the length of the data cable to no more than 8cm.

[0034] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are directions or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0035] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include:

[0036] Receiving antenna 1, storage unit 2, buzzer 3, Type-C interface 21, USB-A interface 22, Lightning interface 23, USB 2.0 interface 24, data cable 25, speaker 32, volume adjustment button 32

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas management component is pluggably connected to a display device, and the gas management component includes a shell of a square structure, and a receiving antenna 1 is installed on the back of the shell. The storage unit 2 also includes a first interface, a second interface, a third interface and a fourth interface. The front of the shell of the storage unit 2 is connected to the second interface and the third interface through a data line 25. The first interface is fixedly installed on the left side of the shell of the storage unit 2, and the fourth interface is fixedly installed on the right side of the shell of the storage unit 2. In this embodiment, the first plane is the left side of the storage unit 2, the second plane is the front of the storage unit 2, the third plane is the right side of the storage unit 2, and the fourth plane is the back of the storage unit 2.

[0039] At the same time, it should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can arbitrarily swap the positions of the first interface, the second interface, the third interface, and the fourth interface on the gas management component. The first interface is a USB 2.0 interface 24, the second interface is a Lightning interface 23, the third interface is a USB-A interface 22, and the fourth interface is a Type-C interface 21. Currently, the USB 2.0 interface 24 is applicable to the USB ports of most televisions and LED screens. The Lightning interface 23, the USB-A interface 22, and the Type-C interface 21 can be connected to different types of display devices currently on the market. The receiving antenna 1 is a rubber stick antenna. The receiving antenna 1 is mounted on the back of the housing and is electrically connected to the storage unit 2 installed inside the housing.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the receiving antenna 1 is wirelessly connected to the smart gas meter for receiving information sent by the smart gas meter, and the memory of the storage unit 2 is provided with a memory for storing information sent by the smart gas meter. At present, there are many types of interfaces of display devices, and the gas management component can meet the interfaces of commonly used display devices on the market by adopting the design of the first interface, the second interface, the third interface and the fourth interface.

[0041] Designed for aesthetics while minimizing size, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first interface, the second interface, the third interface, the fourth interface and the receiving antenna 1 are all arranged on the front side and the back side of the storage unit 2. In order to ensure that the interface can be smoothly connected to the display device, the receiving antenna 1 needs to be arranged separately on one surface. Since there are only three surfaces left, the area of ​​the left and right sides is small, so an interface is set for each. Compared with the side, the area of ​​the front is larger, and two interfaces are set on the front. However, since the size of the interfaces is almost the same, if two interfaces are directly set on the same surface, since the interface of the display device is a groove type, and the interface of the gas management component is a protruding type. When one of the two interfaces is inserted into the display device, the other interface may touch the display device, resulting in the interface that needs to be inserted into the display device cannot be successfully inserted into the display device. Therefore, the interface relative to the left and right sides can be directly installed on the outer shell of the storage unit 2. By setting a data line 25 on the storage device to connect the second interface and the third interface respectively, it can be solved that multiple interfaces set on the same plane can also be quickly and stably connected to the display device. When one interface is inserted into the display device, the other interface will fall down with the data line 25 under the action of gravity, which will not affect the use of the interface connected to the display device.

[0042] At the same time, when the second interface or the third interface is connected to the display device, the gas management component will be suspended due to the effect of gravity. Since the volume of the gas management component is larger than that of the USB flash drive, the gravity of the gas management component is larger. At this time, since only one interface is connected to the display device, it is equivalent to only one interface supporting the gravity of the entire gas management component. If the data line 25 is too long, the weight of the gas management component increases, and the center of gravity moves down, the pulling force on the interface is stronger, which can easily affect the stability of the connection with the display device and the service life of the second interface and the third interface of the gas management component. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the length of the data line 25 is set to 8cm, it can not only meet the second interface and the third interface can be stably connected to the display device separately, but also when the display device is connected, the second interface or the third interface is subjected to less gravity and the center of gravity of the gas management component will not be too low to cause excessive pulling on the interface, thereby extending the service life of the interface and ensuring the stable state of the interface connection.

[0043] When connected to the display device, the user can obtain relevant information about the gas stored in the gas unit through the display device.

[0044] How to use this embodiment

[0045] Confirm the interface of the display device, use the interface of the gas management component that matches the interface of the display device, the gas management component is connected to the display device, and is wirelessly connected to the smart gas meter. By receiving the relevant information of the smart gas meter and storing it in the storage unit 2, the user can view the relevant information of the smart gas meter through the display device at any time and process it. The information may be that the natural gas bill has not been paid, or that the smart gas meter has failed, or that the natural gas pipeline in the community where the residents live needs to be repaired recently, etc.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] Different from the first embodiment, a gas management component further includes a buzzer 3. The buzzer 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the housing.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a speaker 32 is provided on the back of the buzzer 3, and a first groove is provided on the side of the buzzer 3, in which a volume adjustment button 32 is installed. The length of the volume adjustment button 32 is less than the depth of the first groove.

[0049] Generally, the gas management component is connected to a home TV. Although the home TV has its own speaker 32, the home TV is not necessarily always turned on and used. When the home TV is not in use, the general residents usually do not unplug the power directly, but put the home TV in standby mode, that is, they can turn it on by using the equipped remote control. If the home TV is in standby mode, when the gas management component receives information from the smart gas meter, the information may be that the natural gas bill has not been paid, or that the smart gas meter has failed, or that the natural gas pipe in the community where the residents live needs to be repaired recently, etc. At this time, when the gas management component receives the information from the smart gas meter, the buzzer 3 will sound to remind the user. The user can view the message from the gas company by using a mobile phone or turning on the TV.

[0050] A storage unit 2 of the single chip microcomputer is arranged inside the housing, and a buzzer 3 is connected to the storage unit 2 of the single chip microcomputer.

[0051] Considering that the elderly need more gas management components for corresponding message reminders, the volume of the buzzer 3 is adjusted accordingly by setting a volume adjustment button 32, which is more flexible. At the same time, the volume adjustment button 32 is set in the first groove to prevent excessive or insufficient changes in volume due to accidental touch.

[0052] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the volume adjustment button 32 is 1 square centimeter. This cross-sectional area refers to the outer surface with the largest area touched by hand.

[0053] The beneficial effects of this embodiment

[0054] By setting a buzzer 3 on the storage unit 2, even when the external device connected to the gas management component is in standby mode, the information transmitted by the smart gas meter can be reminded accordingly through the setting of the buzzer 3. At the same time, by setting a volume adjustment button 32 in the first groove, the volume can be controlled to suit different groups, with strong flexibility and anti-mistouch.

[0055] The description of the second embodiment is a brief description, and the details not mentioned can be referred to the first embodiment.
