[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] To overcome the limitations of traditional fire detectors in certain special environments and address the problems of "difficult detection and networking" in traditional fire monitoring, smoke detectors and cloud service platforms are used to take photos at regular intervals. The alarm information is then sent to the cloud platform via 4G network and pushed to grassroots supervisors, achieving early detection, early alarm, and early handling of forestry fires.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses an image-based outdoor smoke and fire monitoring device, comprising a main control unit, a data SIM card communication module, a power supply module, a first storage module, and a camera module. The power supply module is connected to the camera module and the main control unit, and the main control unit is connected to the first storage module and the data SIM card communication module. The main control unit transmits the images acquired by the camera module to the cloud via the data SIM card communication module. Through the data SIM card communication module, 4G networking is achieved. The main control unit, in conjunction with the cloud platform, can flexibly capture real-time images of the scene and upload them to the cloud platform via the network. Based on the captured images, a better judgment and understanding of the scene can be made, thereby enabling preliminary responses.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the power supply module includes a solar power supply circuit, a battery, and a processing circuit connected in sequence. The solar power supply circuit includes a solar panel, a power management chip, and a charging management circuit. The solar panel is coupled to the power management chip through the charging management circuit. In this embodiment, the power management chip and charging circuit adopt the continuously charging SGM41511 functional module and its matching circuit, which has a highly efficient and safe charging process. The power management chip adds the function of detecting the input power and can set an appropriate input current limit. When the battery voltage is lower than the set full charge level, the lithium battery is immediately charged by the output voltage collected by the solar panel; when the charging current drops below the preset termination current threshold and the battery voltage reaches or exceeds the set full charge level, the charging cycle automatically terminates. The entire process realizes the automatic functions of self-testing, self-charging, and self-shutting, achieving more efficient charging. At the same time, by using more stable and precise components, the charging is more stable.

[0035] Furthermore, the battery uses a 3.7V lithium battery, which can be continuously charged and discharged more than 1,000 times and output a stable voltage to power subsequent circuits.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the processing circuit is configured as a buck-boost circuit including a buck-boost chip. In this embodiment, a circuit based on the TPS63070RNMR is used. This buck-boost chip can step down the voltage of the lithium battery supply when it is higher than 3.8V, stabilize it to 3.8V, and then output it stably to the back-end functional modules; when it is lower than 3.8V, it can boost the voltage, stabilize it to 3.8V, and then output it stably to the back-end functional modules. By increasing the precision of the components and the proportional control, a more accurate and stable power supply is achieved.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, considering the needs of customers and the actual usage scenarios, the data card communication module adopts an external SIM card design and uses 4G full network compatibility technology to support the three major operators: China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. The main control unit provides 1.8V power to ensure that the SIM data card module meets the internet access requirements of the main control unit and the data transmission data supply.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the camera module adopts a high-definition camera module function module, which is powered by a TPS63070RNMR buck-boost circuit to provide a stable 3.8V voltage. It is equipped with 0.5TOP computing power, built-in edge computing at the front end, and an automatic smoke and fire recognition algorithm. It is controlled by the main control unit to realize the ability to freely set the time to capture images, and then hand them over to the camera module for recognition and judgment. When smoke and fire are detected in the image, the image and data are immediately uploaded to the main control unit. At the same time, the main control unit uploads the image and data to the IoT platform in real time via 4G communication technology, and finally sends SMS and pop-up warnings.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, to meet the storage requirements of data and the storage and preservation of collected image alerts, the first storage module adopts an external TF card design, which can store a large amount of data for a longer period of time. The main control unit provides 1.8V power and controls the data recording and usage. When the storage capacity reaches the specified value, the data is deleted to ensure sufficient capacity for recording new data.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also includes a second storage module. The second storage module uses a built-in W25Q128JWS IQQSPI Flash storage module, which is powered by 1.8V from the main control unit. This enables faster and more efficient data transmission and command issuance between the main control unit and the camera module, records more detailed data, and ensures the normal operation and function of the command code of the entire image-type smoke detector.

[0041] To manage the aforementioned circuit, the main control unit in this embodiment uses the G8100B control module, powered by a stable 3.8V voltage supplied by a TPS63070RNMR buck-boost circuit. The more stable 4G main control unit G8100B incorporates GPS positioning into its built-in chip, enabling the acquisition of coordinate information at the installation location. This coordinate information is then transmitted to the main control unit G8100B, which displays the coordinate information. The main control unit G8100B is also connected to the camera module, SIM card module, TF card, and W25Q128JWS IQQSPI Flash storage module within the circuit. It detects the information acquired from the processing signals of each part and is responsible for controlling the operation of the command system. The main control unit G8100B is connected to various parts of the circuit, detecting the status of each circuit and processing the information acquired by the circuit, thus controlling the operation of the circuit system. Simultaneously, the G8100B main control unit also uploads images and data identified by the camera module to the IoT platform in real time via 4G communication technology, ultimately providing SMS and pop-up alerts.

[0042] This embodiment has the following advantages:

[0043] The SGM41511 charging management chip is used to manage the charging of the internal lithium battery. The SGM41511, together with a few external components, controls and steps down the power input to the solar panel, enabling independent management of fast charging of a single lithium battery.

[0044] The internal power circuit utilizes the TPS63070RNMR high-efficiency and high-current multi-functional buck-boost converter chip to provide stable power to the downstream load, reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations, and ensure that the downstream load operates within a reasonable and stable voltage range.

[0045] Internally equipped with a high-definition camera module and 0.5 Top computing power, it features built-in edge computing and an automatic smoke and fire recognition algorithm. Controlled by the main control unit, it allows for freely set time intervals to capture images, which are then recognized and judged by the camera module. When smoke and fire are detected in the image, the camera module immediately uploads the image and data to the main control unit. Simultaneously, the main control unit uploads the image and data to the IoT platform in real time via 4G communication technology, ultimately providing SMS and pop-up alerts.

[0046] The main control unit is connected to the camera module, SIM data card module, TF card, and W25Q128JWSIQQSPI Flash storage module in the circuit. It detects the information obtained from the processing signals of each part and is responsible for controlling the operation of the command system.

[0047] The main control unit is connected to each part of the circuit, detects the status of each part of the circuit and processes the information obtained by the circuit, is responsible for controlling the operation of the circuit system, and uploads the "image-type fire detector" itself and the monitored data to the Internet of Things platform through 4G communication technology.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
