Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent sockets, in particular to a remotely controlled socket. Background Art

[0002] A socket, also known as a power socket or a switch socket, refers to a socket into which one or more circuit wiring can be inserted. Through it, various electrical appliances can be inserted to provide a circuit access interface for the electrical appliances, thus facilitating the connection with other electrical appliances. By connecting and disconnecting the connection between the circuit and the copper parts, the connection and disconnection of this part of the circuit can be achieved ultimately.

[0003] In today's society, sockets have become essential electrical devices in life. However, for most users, they are generally placed in corners or inconspicuous places, and it takes a lot of time to turn on and off each time. At the same time, frequent plugging and unplugging of sockets also pose certain safety hazards. At the same time, household electrical appliances are plugged into the socket through plugs with a certain length of connecting wires. Many times, although people turn off the household electrical appliances, there are still some losses on the connecting wires plugged into the socket. Although theoretically the loss is relatively small, when accumulated over multiple electrical appliances, the loss is also astonishing.

[0004] With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, in order to reduce the loss on the connecting wires of household electrical appliances, there are now many sockets that can be remotely controlled to turn on and off.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 2 , a remote control socket according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Among them, for a remote control socket, the remote control socket includes a power input terminal and a power output terminal, and the power input terminal and the power output terminal are electrically connected. The power input terminal is used for the socket to access the mains power, and the power output terminal is used for the socket to output power; the remote control socket further includes a processing module, a relay module, a LORA module and a Bluetooth module.

[0037] The power input terminal and the power output terminal are connected through a relay module, and the processing module is electrically connected to the relay module.

[0038] The processing module is configured to control the conduction and disconnection of the circuit connecting the power input terminal and the power output terminal through the relay module based on an external control signal.

[0039] The processing module is respectively connected to the LORA module and the Bluetooth module, and is configured to receive the external control signal through the LORA module and the Bluetooth module.

[0040] The present utility model is provided with a processing module, a relay module, a LORA module and a Bluetooth module; the processing module is respectively connected to the LORA module and the Bluetooth module, and is configured to receive the external control signal through the LORA module and the Bluetooth module; the processing module is configured to control the conduction and disconnection of the circuit connecting the power input terminal and the power output terminal through the relay module based on the external control signal.

[0041] Exemplarily, the processing module is connected to the relay module and can monitor the power on / off state of the relay module.

[0042] It can be understood that the processing module monitors the power on / off state of the relay module by monitoring the level of the output port of the relay module.

[0043] The processing module is respectively connected to the LORA module and the Bluetooth module. The processing module receives the external control signal through the LORA module and the Bluetooth module, and according to the received external control signal, the relay module controls the conduction and disconnection of the circuit connecting the power input terminal and the power output terminal.

[0044] The remote control socket of the present utility model uses a LORA module and a Bluetooth module for wireless data transmission. The LORA module and the Bluetooth module are two wireless transmission modules operating in different frequency bands, which can improve the reliability of remote control of the remote control socket and enhance the effectiveness of remote control.

[0045] Specifically, in combination with Figure 3 , the LoRa module adopts LoRa wireless communication technology, has a relatively long transmission distance, and can achieve interconnection and interoperability between the remote control terminal and the remote control socket. It can be understood that the remote control terminal can be a mobile phone or a computer. Through the MESH networking function of the LoRa module and using MESH networking (wireless network), the remote control terminal transmits the control signal to the processing module through the LoRa module. When the processing module receives the control signal, it controls the on and off of the relay module to control the on and off of the power supply at the power output terminal, thereby realizing remote control of the on and off of the socket power supply.

[0046] The Bluetooth module has a self-check and backup function. When the communication of the LoRa module fails or there is no response, it automatically switches to the MESH gateway technology of the Bluetooth module to ensure the reliability of remote control. The LORA module and the Bluetooth module can be used in different scenarios, and the processing module can be flexibly configured according to different requirements. The mutual cooperation of the Bluetooth module and the LoRa module realizes dual wireless remote control of the remote control socket, increasing the reliability of remote control and improving the stability of remote control.

[0047] Exemplarily, there are dozens of sockets in a building, and the computer host is used to control the on and off of the sockets.

[0048] The computer host installs and configures software or a platform compatible with Mesh devices, and uses the MESH gateway to form a network with the MESH network through WIFI or Ethernet.

[0049] Different dual wireless remote control sockets are set with different IDs. According to the distribution and communication requirements of the sockets, the topological structure of the Mesh network is planned to achieve MESH networking.

[0050] In the Mesh network, the sockets can freely communicate with the computer host to form a self-organizing network, thereby realizing functions such as interconnection and interoperability and remote control between the sockets and devices such as the computer host.

[0051] Exemplarily, the model of the processing module is STM32F103C8T6.

[0052] Exemplarily, the model of the LORA module is TP2210-MK20. The LORA module adopts LORA wireless communication technology, can achieve MESH networking, and is interconnected and interoperable with the remote control terminal.

[0053] Exemplarily, a processing module is connected to a power supply module; the power supply module includes a filter and a power conversion unit;

[0054] The live wire L at the output end of the power input terminal is connected to the live wire L at the input end of the filter;

[0055] The neutral wire N at the output end of the power input terminal is connected to the neutral wire N at the input end of the filter;

[0056] The live wire L at the output end of the filter is connected to the live wire L at the input end of the power conversion unit;

[0057] The neutral wire N at the output end of the filter is connected to the neutral wire N at the input end of the power conversion unit;

[0058] The power conversion unit is respectively connected to the processing module, the LORA module and the Bluetooth module, and provides working power for the processing module, the LORA module and the Bluetooth module respectively.

[0059] In specific implementation, those skilled in the art can select a verified working power supply according to the actual needs. In this embodiment, the AC220V power supply is converted into a DC3V working power supply through the power conversion unit to supply power to the processing module, the LORA module and the Bluetooth module respectively.

[0060] Exemplarily, the relay module includes a first resistor R1 and an NPN transistor Q1; the base B of the transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the control signal output end of the processing module; the control signal output end is the signal output end for the processing module to control the conduction and disconnection of the circuit connecting the power input terminal and the power output terminal.

[0061] The emitter E of the transistor Q1 is grounded.

[0062] The relay module further includes a diode D1, a relay coil K1 and a relay normally closed contact K1-1; the collector C of the transistor Q1 is connected to the positive pole of the diode D1 and the first end of the relay coil K1; the negative pole of the diode D1 and the second end of the relay coil K1 are both connected to the power supply VCC. In specific implementation, the power supply VCC is the working power supply of the relay module.

[0063] The first end of the relay normally closed contact K1-1 is connected to the power input terminal; the second end of the relay normally closed contact K1-1 is connected to the power output terminal.

[0064] The processing module is respectively connected to the LORA module and the Bluetooth module, and is used to receive the external control signal through the LORA module and the Bluetooth module. Based on the external control signal, the processing module controls the conduction and disconnection of the circuit electrically connected between the power input terminal and the power output terminal through the relay module. Specifically,

[0065] After the processing module receives the external control signal, a high level is input by the control signal output unit of the processing module. The high level is input to the base B of the transistor Q1 after passing through the first resistor R1.

[0066] When a high level is input to the base B of the transistor Q1, the transistor Q1 is saturated and turned on, and the collector C of the transistor Q1 becomes a low level. The relay coil K1 connected to the collector C is energized, and the normally closed contact K1-1 of the relay is disconnected. Thereby, the circuit electrically connected between the power input terminal and the power output terminal is controlled to be disconnected.

[0067] It can be understood that the transistor Q1 is a control switch, the first resistor R1 plays a current limiting role to reduce the power consumption of the transistor Q1, and the diode D1 has the function of reverse current continuation, providing a discharge path for the relay coil K1 when the transistor Q1 turns from conduction to cutoff, and clamping its voltage at +12V.

[0068] Exemplarily, the model of the Bluetooth module is JDY-10M4.0. The Bluetooth module has a self-calibration and backup function. When the processing module monitors that there is no response to more than 2 inquiries from the LORA module communication, it automatically switches to the MESH gateway technology of the Bluetooth module.

[0069] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and described in the embodiments. Without departing from the above principles, the embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation or modification.
