Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electricity metering for refrigerated containers, and in particular to a remote control and energy metering device for refrigerated containers. Background Art

[0002] In the context of cold chain logistics, the innovation of refrigerated container power supply technology has become a core link to ensure the quality and transportation safety of goods. For a long time, shore power supply has been widely used in ports and logistics centers around the world as the main power source for refrigerated containers. However, this traditional power supply method faces many technical and operational challenges. The shore power supply system is affected by factors such as power grid fluctuations, equipment aging and untimely maintenance, which may lead to unstable power supply, thereby affecting the precise control of the internal temperature of the refrigerated container and threatening the storage conditions of temperature-sensitive goods.

[0003] How to detect the instability of power supply in time at the initial stage of connection and cut off the power supply circuit in time and effectively has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently; in addition, refrigerated containers also need to be used in conjunction with electric energy meters. If the electric energy meter and the corresponding power supply circuit cutting device occupy too large an area, they cannot be effectively adapted to the smaller application scenario of the container site. Utility Model Content

[0004] This device provides a remote control and energy metering device based on a refrigerated container. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0005] A remote control and energy metering device based on a refrigerated container, comprising:

[0006] A power supply circuit connected to the plug cable, the power supply circuit is provided with a current and voltage detector, and the power supply circuit and the current and voltage detector are integrated in the housing;

[0007] A relay connector is movably arranged between the power supply line and the plug-in cable. A guide component is arranged in the shell and is in sliding contact with the relay connector. The end of the guide component is magnetically matched with a disconnection drive component. When the current and voltage detector detects that the power supply of the power supply line is abnormal, the disconnection drive component generates a magnetic thrust on the guide component to disconnect the power supply line from the relay connector.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a controller, whose signal input end is electrically connected to the current and voltage detector, whose output end is electrically connected to the disconnect drive component, and the controller is also connected to a remote control center through a communicator.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the design integrates the current and voltage detector with the mechanical disconnection structure of the power supply line. Integrating the two in one unit can significantly reduce the required space. After integration, the changes in current and voltage can be monitored in real time. Once an abnormality is detected, such as overload, short circuit or voltage fluctuation, it can respond immediately and automatically disconnect the power supply line to prevent potential electrical faults from causing damage to the refrigerated container and its internal goods; due to the reduction of external connection points and interfaces, the complexity of the entire system is reduced, thereby improving its stability and reliability. The current and voltage detector is a general term for ammeters and voltmeters, which are connected to the power supply line in series and parallel respectively to realize the collection of current and voltage.

[0010] Preferably, the shell comprises a first chamber and a second chamber which are independent of each other, the current and voltage detector is arranged in the first chamber, and both sides of the second chamber are configured as open structures for inserting power supply lines and plug cables.

[0011] Preferably, a second plug and a third plug that are electrically connected are provided on both sides of the relay connector, a limit groove is horizontally provided in the second chamber, a limit rod is slidably connected to the limit groove is provided on the relay connector, and the second plug and the third plug are respectively plugged into the front end of the plug cable and the power supply line.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the front ends of the plug-in cable and the power supply line are designed to correspond axially, and the center lines of the two are kept on the same straight line, ensuring that the plug-in cable can be accurately aligned with the power supply line during the connection process, thereby achieving accuracy and reliability of the electrical connection; in order to ensure the stability of the relay connector during the translation process, a limit groove and front and rear limit rods are provided. When the relay connector moves, the limit rod will slide in the limit groove to limit the movement trajectory of the relay connector to prevent it from shifting or shaking during the axial movement, thereby ensuring stability and accuracy during the connection process and preventing connection failure due to mechanical vibration or external force.

[0013] Preferably, axially corresponding vertical through pipes are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the second chamber, and the guide assembly includes a lifting block vertically slidably arranged in the vertical through pipe, and the two are connected by a spring.

[0014] Preferably, a guiding inclined surface with gradually decreasing diameter along the axial direction is provided in the middle of the relay joint, and an inclined guiding block is provided on the side of the lifting block facing the relay joint, and the guiding block is in sliding contact with the guiding inclined surface.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the lifting block facing away from the relay connector is set as a permanent magnetic surface, and the disconnection drive component includes an electromagnet arranged at the end of the vertical through pipe, and its electromagnetic surface vertically corresponds to the permanent magnetic surface.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the electromagnet is powered, which will cause it to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic strength of the electromagnet is proportional to the current passing through its coil. By adjusting the current, the strength of the electromagnet's magnetism can be controlled. When the electromagnet is energized, a magnetic repulsive force will be generated between it and the lifting block. Then the guide block will obliquely push the guide ramp. The movement of the guide ramp will cause the relay connector and the plug-in cable to separate from the power supply line. Separation means that the circuit is physically disconnected, thereby cutting off the flow of current. This state can effectively prevent current from passing.

[0017] Preferably, a display panel is provided on the outer side of the housing, and the display panel is electrically connected to the controller.

[0018] Preferably, the display panel, the controller, the electromagnet and the current and voltage detector are all connected to independent power supplies.

[0019] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. The utility model integrates the current and voltage detector with the mechanical disconnection structure of the power supply line, thereby reducing the footprint and performing real-time current and voltage detection to ensure the control of stable power supply to the refrigerated container;

[0021] 2. In the utility model, the front ends of the plug-in cable and the power supply line are axially corresponding, and the relay connector can connect the plug-in cable and drive it axially to connect with the power supply line; the limit groove and the limit rod can ensure the stability of the relay connector in translation;

[0022] 3. The utility model has a simple structure. The controller energizes the electromagnet, so that a magnetic repulsion force is generated between the electromagnet and the lifting block, and then the guide block and the guide inclined surface are obliquely pushed, so that the relay connector and the plug cable are away from the power supply line to form a circuit breaker.
