DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following Figure 1-4 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0034] The present application embodiment discloses a multifunctional data collection terminal 100. Figure 1The multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 includes a controller 110 and a first communication module 120 , a second communication module 130 , a data acquisition module 140 and an onboard sensor component 150 which are signal-connected to the controller 110 .

[0035] Among them, the onboard sensor component 150 is used to collect environmental information of the location of the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100. The onboard sensor component 150 is integrated on the integrated circuit substrate of the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100. The type of the onboard sensor component 150 can be set according to actual needs. In one example, the onboard sensor component 150 includes at least one of a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, a light sensor, and a gas concentration sensor. In this way, the onboard sensor component 150 can collect environmental information such as humidity, temperature, light intensity, and gas concentration in a fixed and real-time manner, providing a rich data source for environmental monitoring and data analysis.

[0036] The data acquisition module 140 is used to provide a data acquisition interface 141, and the data acquisition interface 141 is used to connect an external sensor device. The type of the data acquisition interface 141 can be configured according to actual needs. Specifically, the data acquisition interface 141 can be a wired interface or a wireless interface. The wired interface can be a USB interface, an RS485 interface, etc., and the wireless interface can be a Bluetooth interface, a ZigBee interface, etc. This can facilitate the access of external sensor devices of different interface types. In this embodiment, the external sensor device does not need to establish a communication connection with the cloud server. The multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 can obtain the data collected by the external sensor device through the data acquisition module 140 and send it to the server through the first communication module 120. This can reduce the number of devices connected to the cloud server, and further reduce the device access pressure of the cloud server.

[0037] In one example, reference Figure 2 The external sensing device includes a tilt sensor 210, which is installed on the manhole cover to detect the tilt state of the manhole cover. Since the tilt state of the manhole cover will change during the opening of the manhole cover, the tilt sensor 210 is set to collect the tilt state data of the manhole cover and send it to the cloud server through the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100, which can help the cloud server monitor and analyze the state of the manhole cover through the received tilt state.

[0038] In another example, reference Figure 2The external sensor device includes a water level meter 220, which is installed on the curb to detect the depth of water accumulation. Since the sensing data collected by the water level meter 220 will also change when the water level changes, the water level data of the curb is collected by the water level meter 220 installed on the curb and sent to the cloud server through the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100, which can help the cloud server monitor and analyze the water accumulation state of the curb through the received water level data.

[0039] It should be noted that the above two examples are to illustrate the application of the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 to the urban drainage system. In actual implementation, the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 can also be applied to other usage scenarios, and the type of external sensor equipment connected to the multifunctional data acquisition can be set according to the actual needs of the scenario.

[0040] The first communication module 120 is used to communicate with the cloud server to send the data collected by the onboard sensor component 150 and the data received by the data acquisition module 140 to the cloud server. In one example, the first communication module 120 is a cellular mobile communication module, so that the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 can access the Internet through the first communication module 120, and then send data to the remote cloud server for analysis and processing by the cloud server. In one example, the first communication module 120 is a NB-IOT communication module.

[0041] The second communication module 130 is used to establish a data connection between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 to achieve data interaction between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100. Unlike the first communication module 120, the second communication module 130 is used to establish a data connection between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100, especially to establish a data connection between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 within a certain range. By achieving data interaction between different multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100, the number of multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 connected to the cloud server can be reasonably controlled, which can help reduce the device access pressure of the cloud server.

[0042] The second communication module 130 may include a wired communication module and / or a short-range wireless communication module.

[0043] In one example, the second communication module 130 includes an RJ45 module, which is used to form a local area network with other multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100, so that different multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 in the local area network can exchange data based on the local area network without relying on a wide area network, thereby helping to reduce the cost of data interaction between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100.

[0044] In another example, the second communication module 130 includes a short-range wireless communication module, such as a WIFI module, a ZigBee module, etc., which is used to wirelessly exchange data with other multi-functional data acquisition terminals 100. This can facilitate the deployment of the multi-functional data acquisition terminal 100. At the same time, since no wiring is required, the deployment cost of the multi-functional data acquisition terminal 100 can also be reduced.

[0045] The implementation principle of a multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is that the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 includes a controller 110 and a first communication module 120, a second communication module 130, a data acquisition module 140 and an onboard sensor component 150 which are signal-connected to the controller 110; the onboard sensor component 150 is used to collect environmental information of the location of the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100; the data acquisition module 140 is used to provide a data acquisition interface 141, and the data acquisition interface 141 is used to connect to an external sensor device; the first communication module 120 is used to communicate with a cloud server to send data collected by the onboard sensor component 150 and data received by the data acquisition module 140 to the cloud server; the second communication module 130 is used to establish a data connection between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 to realize data interaction between the multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100. In the above embodiment, since the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 is integrated with an onboard sensor component 150, and can obtain data collected by an external sensor device through the data acquisition interface 141 of the data acquisition module 140, and send these data to the cloud server through the first communication module 120, this can help reduce the number of devices connected to the cloud platform, thereby helping to reduce the impact of the increase in the number of sensors on the number of devices connected to the cloud platform, and further help reduce the cost of data acquisition.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 also includes a power supply component 160, which is electrically connected to the controller 110 and the data acquisition module 140 respectively. The data acquisition interface 141 includes a first interface 141a and a second interface 141b. The first interface is electrically connected to the power supply component 141b. The first interface 141a is used to receive signals sent by an external sensor device and to power the external sensor device. The second interface 141b is only used to receive signals sent by an external sensor device.

[0047] In one example, the power supply component 160 is connected to an external power source, which can help ensure the stability of power supply. In actual implementation, the power supply component 160 can also include a battery.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first interface 141a is a wired interface. In one example, the first interface 141a includes a USB interface, for example, the first interface 141a includes a type-c interface. In actual implementation, the first interface 141a may also be other types of interfaces, such as an RJ45 interface,

[0049] The second interface 141b may be a wired interface or a wireless interface. In one example, the second interface 141b is an RS485 interface. In actual implementation, the second interface 141b may also be a Bluetooth interface.

[0050] Through the above-mentioned implementation mode, in the actual deployment process, the method of powering the external sensor device can be flexibly selected. For some external sensor devices that do not have their own power supply function, they can be connected through the first interface 141a. In this way, the external sensor device can be powered by the multi-functional data acquisition terminal 100, thereby facilitating the deployment of the external sensor device.

[0051] In addition, for some sensor devices that need switch control, these devices can be connected to the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 through the first interface 141a, so that simple control of the external sensor devices can be achieved by turning on and off the first interface 141a.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second communication module 130 is signal-connected to the first communication module 120 via the controller 110 , so that data received by the second communication module 130 can be sent to the cloud server via the first communication module 120 .

[0053] In the above process, the controller 110 only plays the role of forwarding data between the second communication module 130 and the first communication module 120, and does not process the data sent by the second communication module 130, so it does not involve the improvement of the software algorithm.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 can send the collected data to other multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 through the second communication module 130, so as to upload the collected data to the cloud server through the first communication module 120 of other multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100. In this way, the multifunctional terminal device can directly access the cloud server without going through its own first communication module 120, thereby helping to further reduce the number of devices accessing the cloud server, and further helping to further reduce the cost of data acquisition.

[0055] The present application also provides a functional data acquisition system, referring to Figure 4The multifunctional data system includes at least two multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 provided in the above embodiments. Each multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 in the multifunctional data acquisition system is data connected via the second communication module 130, and at least one multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 is connected to the cloud server via the first communication module 120.

[0056] In the above technical solution, since different multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 in the multifunctional data acquisition system can exchange data through the second communication module 130, only at least one multifunctional data acquisition terminal 100 in the multifunctional data acquisition system is required to communicate with the cloud server so that the data collected by other multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 can be sent to the cloud server together, thereby greatly reducing the number of multifunctional data acquisition terminals 100 that need to directly access the cloud server, and further helping to reduce the impact of the increase in sensor deployment on data acquisition costs.

[0057] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings are shown in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise clearly stated in this document, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in order and can be performed in other orders.

[0058] The above are only some implementation methods of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
