However, there are many deficiencies in traditional tobacco equipment status monitoring technologies, which limit their wide application in modern tobacco production.

[0003] Firstly, in traditional monitoring technologies, piezoelectric accelerometers are often used to detect vibration signals. These sensors output analog signals, which need to be sampled by a complex conditioning circuit before data processing. This process not only increases the complexity and cost of the system, but also makes deployment and maintenance extremely inconvenient. In addition, piezoelectric accelerometers and their supporting equipment are usually large in volume, high in power consumption, and analog signals are easily affected by internal and external interference during transmission, affecting the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data.

[0004] Secondly, traditional status monitoring devices mostly use wired connection methods, which require both wired power supply and wired data transmission.
