DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a centralized management control box for electricity consumption in shops includes a box body 1, and at least one door that can partially open the box body 1 is provided on the side of the box body 1. A plurality of extended mounting holes 8 are provided on the top of the box body 1, and the extended mounting holes 8 can be used to install a cooling fan 21, an antenna 24 or a filter 25.

[0022] A control module 14 is provided in the box body 1, and the control module 14 is electrically connected to a wireless communication module 10, an electric meter 12, multiple end contactors 17 and multiple knob encoders 5, wherein the wireless communication module 10 is used to obtain remote control instructions from the upper control host and send them to the control module 14, the electric meter 12 is used to record the power consumption of the electrical equipment, the end contactor 17 is used to control the power supply status of the electrical equipment, and the knob encoder 5 is used to send manual control instructions to the control module 14, and the knob encoder 5 is set on the box door.

[0023] When in use, the present invention connects electrical appliances such as lamps, air conditioners, refrigerators, and cash registers to the terminal contactor 17, thereby enabling the power supply status of the electrical appliances to be controlled using the terminal contactor 17. Specific control methods include remote control, on-site unified manual control, and on-site single-point manual control.

[0024] When remote control is used, the user uses a mobile phone or computer to log in to the upper control host and send remote control instructions to the control module 14 through the wireless communication network. After receiving the remote control instructions, the control module 14 controls the terminal contactor 17 according to the remote control instructions, thereby changing the power supply status of the electrical equipment and powering on or off the electrical equipment. For chain stores, the upper control host can also be a cloud server, which uniformly remotely controls all chain stores under the brand. In the present utility model, the wireless communication module 10 can include a WIFI communication unit and a mobile communication unit. The mobile communication unit can adopt mobile communication technologies such as 4G and 5G.

[0025] When using on-site unified manual control, the user sends manual control commands to the control module 14 via the rotary encoder 5. After receiving the manual control commands, the control module 14 controls the terminal contactors 17 according to the manual control commands, thereby changing the power supply status of the electrical equipment. Because the number of rotary encoders 5 is less than the number of terminal contactors 17, when using rotary encoders 5 to manually control the terminal contactors 17, one rotary encoder 5 can control multiple terminal contactors 17. For example, it can control multiple terminal contactors 17 corresponding to a group of lamps, thereby achieving unified control of multiple electrical equipment. It should also be noted that when the control module 14 receives a manual control command, it automatically stops executing the remote control command, meaning that the manual control command has priority over the remote control command. To facilitate user understanding of the function of the rotary encoder 5, a label 6 is provided on the side of the rotary encoder 5 to mark the rotary encoder 5. This allows users to control the power supply status of some electrical equipment without opening the control box, such as turning on some lamps in the inventory area to facilitate inventory counting, making it simpler and more convenient.

[0026] When using on-site single-point control, the user directly controls the opening and closing of the terminal contactor 17, thereby achieving single-point control of the electrical equipment. When the user directly controls the terminal contactor 17, the control module 14 also stops controlling the terminal contactor 17 according to the remote control command or manual control command.

[0027] Considering that the housing 1 may cause certain interference to the signal of the wireless communication module 10, in order to ensure the stability of signal transmission, it is best to install an antenna 24 on the outside of the housing 1. On the other hand, the control module 14, the wireless communication module 10 and other components will generate a large amount of heat during operation. In order to ensure the stability of operation, it is best to set up an active heat dissipation structure. Both the active heat dissipation structure and the antenna 24 need to be connected to the housing 1. In order to improve the scalability of the housing 1 and facilitate the installation of the antenna 24 and the active heat dissipation structure or other extended structures, the present invention has multiple extended mounting holes 8 on the top of the housing 1. The antenna 24, the cooling fan 21 or the filter 25 can be installed at the position of the extended mounting holes 8. The antenna 24 needs to be electrically connected to the wireless communication module 10. The cooling fan 21 is used to achieve active heat dissipation. The cooling fan 21 can be electrically connected to the control module 14 and controlled by the control module 14. The filter 25 is used to prevent a large amount of external dust and impurities from invading the interior of the housing 1.

[0028] It should also be noted that, because the number of electrical equipment in each shop is not fixed, when the number of electrical equipment is large, the number of components such as the terminal contactor 17 required inside also needs to be increased, and the corresponding overall heat generation of the control box will also increase. When the heat generation of the control box is large, a cooling fan 21 needs to be used for active heat dissipation. When the heat generation of the control box is small, there is no need to use the cooling fan 21. A plurality of heat dissipation holes 7 are also provided on the top of the box body 1, and the heat dissipation holes 7 can be used for passive heat dissipation.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of extended structures such as the cooling fan 21, antenna 24, and filter 25, a sleeve 19 is passed through the extended mounting hole 8. An inner positioning ring 18 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the sleeve 19 that extends into the interior of the box 1, and the inner positioning ring 18 contacts the inner wall of the box 1. The end of the sleeve 19 located outside the box 1 is detachably connected to an outer positioning ring 20, and the outer positioning ring 20 contacts the outer wall of the box 1. The outer positioning ring 20 is used to connect the cooling fan 21, antenna 24, or filter 25. During installation, first pass the sleeve 19 through the extended mounting hole 8 from the inside of the box 1 until the inner positioning ring 18 fits against the inner wall of the box 1, then connect the outer positioning ring 20 to the sleeve 19 and fit it against the outer wall of the box 1, and then fix the structures such as the cooling fan 21, antenna 24, or filter 25 to be installed on the outer positioning ring 20. In this way, various expansion structures do not need to be directly connected to the box body 1, which can avoid opening a large number of screw holes on the box body 1, preventing the box body 1 from rusting quickly at the screw hole positions, and preventing the expansion structure from being unable to be smoothly installed or removed due to damage to the screw holes.

[0030] More specifically, an outer retaining ring 20 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 19. The cooling fan 21, antenna 24, and filter 25 are all fixedly connected to a connecting ring 22, which is connected to the outer retaining ring 20 via several fixing bolts 23. If the screw holes on the outer retaining ring 20 that mate with the fixing bolts 23 are damaged, the outer retaining ring 20 can be replaced separately, which is simple and convenient.

[0031] To ensure the safety of each electrical module, the control module 14 is electrically connected to multiple first protection switches 11, which are used to protect the knob encoder 5, wireless communication module 10, or electric meter 12. The control module 14 is also electrically connected to multiple second protection switches 16, which are used to protect electrical equipment. The control module 14 is also electrically connected to a circuit breaker 15. The first protection switches 11, second protection switches 16, and circuit breaker 15 are all conventional and well-established technologies in the art and will not be further elaborated upon here.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the box is provided with two doors, namely a first door 2 and a second door 3. The interior of the box body 1 is divided into two storage spaces, and the first door 2 and the second door 3 correspond to the two storage spaces one by one. The control module 14, wireless communication module 10, and electric meter 12 are arranged in one of the storage spaces, and the terminal contactor 17 is arranged in the other storage space. The first door 2 and the third door 3 are both provided with locks 4. When the user performs single-point manual control of the terminal contactor 17 on site, they only need to open one of the box doors, in this embodiment, the second door 3, to prevent the user from erroneously operating the control module 14 and other components.

[0033] In order to facilitate the installation of various components, a plurality of fixing rails 9 and wire management grooves 13 are provided in both accommodating spaces.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
