Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical safety technology, and in particular to an Internet of Things (IoT) electrical monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] The electricity control meter is the last electrical device for controlling and measuring electricity costs in the power supply process. Changes in electricity data caused by users' electricity consumption behavior are first obtained by the electricity control meter, especially when the user's actual load power exceeds the prescribed limit or when using harmful loads such as non-linear loads of electronic equipment or switching power supplies. This is particularly true in places like school dormitories and factory dormitories where there are restrictions on the use of electrical equipment. The use of high-power electrical equipment can easily lead to electrical accidents. At the same time, these loads will generate harmonic currents and voltages in the power system, increase power system losses and energy consumption, reduce power quality, and pose safety hazards. If alarms are not issued in time, accidents may occur. Utility Model Content

[0005] The data acquisition module is installed in the power control meter box, and at least two of the data acquisition modules communicate wirelessly with the management microcomputer through the control node.

[0006] The acquisition module includes an energy metering module, a power supply module, an RF communication module, a display module, a malicious load detection module, and an MCU. The energy metering module includes a sampling circuit and a sampler. The sampling circuit is connected in series with the power supply circuit in the energy control meter. The voltage drop across the signal output resistor in the sampling circuit is applied to the V1 input / output terminal of the sampler and input to the malicious load detection module. The current across the signal output resistor in the sampling circuit is applied to the V2 output terminal of the sampler. The MCU is electrically connected to the energy metering module, the RF communication module, the display module, and the malicious load detection module. The power supply module is connected in parallel with the power supply circuit in the energy control meter box and draws power from it. The MCU is electrically connected to a controllable electronic switch connected in series with the power supply circuit in the energy control meter box.

[0007] Furthermore, the malicious load detection module includes an amplification and shaping circuit, a multiplexer, a processor, and a memory. The processor is electrically connected to the memory and the multiplexer. The multiplexer obtains the current corresponding to the voltage drop across the signal output resistor in the sampling circuit through the amplification and shaping circuit.

[0009] Furthermore, the sampler is electrically connected to the MCU via an optocoupler.

[0010] Furthermore, the acquisition module also includes a temperature sensor.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an Internet of Things (IoT) power monitoring device includes a data acquisition module 1, a control node 2, and a management microcomputer 3. The data acquisition module 1 is installed in the power control meter box and connected to the power supply line of each power user. At least two data acquisition modules 1 communicate wirelessly with the management microcomputer 3 through the control node 2. The control node 2 is a communication module with wireless transceiver function, and the management microcomputer 3 is a computer set up in the control center.

The MCU is electrically connected to the energy metering module 11, the RF communication module 13, the display module 14, and the critical load detection module 15. The RF communication module 13 uses a CC2430. The power supply module 12 is connected in parallel with the power supply circuit 4 and draws power from it, outputting 5V and 3.3V voltages to power the energy metering module 11, the RF communication module 13, the display module 14, the critical load detection module 15, and the MCU. The MCU is electrically connected to a controllable electronic switch connected in series with the power supply circuit 4.

[0024] The power metering module 11 includes a sampling circuit and a sampler. The sampler uses an ADE7755. The sampling circuit is connected in series with the power supply circuit 4 in the power control meter box. The voltage drop of the signal output resistor R0 in the sampling circuit is applied to the V1 input / output terminal of the sampler and input to the malicious load detection module 15. The current of the signal output resistor in the sampling circuit is applied to the V2 output terminal of the sampler. The high-frequency signal pulse generated by the sampler is output from the CF terminal, and after passing through an optocoupler, it is sent to the P3.4 terminal of the MCU for metering. The resistance value of the signal output resistor R0 is adjusted in real time according to the power consumption.

The remaining technical features are the same as those in embodiment one, and the similarities will not be repeated here. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the acquisition module 1 also includes a temperature sensor.

[0028] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor can collect the temperature of the power supply circuit 4 and the temperature inside the power control box to prevent abnormal power use from causing excessive temperature. It can monitor the temperature and issue timely alarms to prevent accidents caused by continued abnormal use.

[0029] The process of using the overall technical solution formed by the above embodiments is as follows: After obtaining the power consumption signal and temperature data of the power supply circuit 4, the power consumption signal and temperature are sent to the control node 2 through the wireless communication module, and the control node 2 forwards them to the management microcomputer 3. When cable leakage current, temperature exceeding the standard value or set value, or power exceeding the limit occurs on site, the power supply circuit 4 is disconnected through the controllable electronic switch to realize the disconnection and connection of the user's power supply.
