Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Internet of Things (IoT), and more specifically, relates to a remote monitoring switch system based on IoT. Background Technology

[0002] Switching systems are ubiquitous in human production and daily life. With the development of science and technology, an increasing number of electrical devices are emerging, covering all aspects of human production and life, permeating every corner of every industry. Human beings are transforming their complex and diverse physical labor into the rational control of different switches. This transformation has greatly promoted the development of human society, improved the richness of people's lives, and increased production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the most widely used switching system remains the traditional switching system. Operating this system requires the user to physically touch the switch, necessitating considerable extra physical effort. This limitation stems from spatial constraints, particularly pronounced in scenarios involving numerous switches or where proximity to the switches is inconvenient. Touch-sensitive switching systems are also widely used. Compared to traditional systems, touch-sensitive systems require only a touch, reducing effort to some extent. However, they still don't overcome the spatial constraints imposed by the user and the switch. Existing remote-controlled or Bluetooth switches can achieve remote control within a certain distance, but their limited signal transmission distance prevents them from fully overcoming these spatial limitations. While existing IoT remote control systems can achieve remote control and address spatial constraints, they lack information about the switch's environment. This information gap makes it difficult for users to perform appropriate operations based on objective information (including the switch's environment and its status), hindering the achievement of ideal control.

[0022] 1. This utility model provides an IoT-based remote monitoring switch system, which enables remote control, operational status monitoring, and environmental monitoring of switch terminals. The system comprises both hardware and software components. The hardware includes a coordinator and switch terminals. The coordinator consists of a WiFi module and a wireless SOC chip for communication protocol conversion. The switch terminal's wireless communication module connects to the IoT network built by the coordinator. The switch terminal also includes an information acquisition module, a touch module, a relay, and a current sensor. The software includes user-side software and a server.

[0030] The server is used for communication and information storage between the user terminal software and the hardware terminal, and the user terminal software is used for remotely controlling the hardware terminal and displaying the working information of the hardware terminal.

[0031] The hardware includes a coordinator and a switch terminal;

[0032] The coordinator includes a WiFi module and a wireless SOC chip; the wireless SOC chip is connected to the wireless communication module of the switch terminal and is used to realize the communication protocol conversion between the WiFi module and the wireless communication module and the construction of the Internet of Things.

[0033] Specifically, the coordinator connects to a WiFi network and constructs an Internet of Things (IoT) for the switch terminal to access; the wireless communication module of the switch terminal is connected to a wireless SOC chip, and the wireless communication module is used to connect the switch terminal to the IoT constructed by the coordinator; the user terminal software and the switch terminal communicate remotely with the coordinator through the server; the user terminal software is used to remotely control the switch terminal and display the working information of the switch terminal.

[0034] In addition to the wireless communication module, the switch terminal also includes an information acquisition module, a touch module, a relay (i.e., the switch body) and a current sensor;

[0035] The information acquisition module is used to acquire the environmental monitoring information of the switch terminal, and the environmental monitoring information is uploaded to the server via the wireless communication module.

[0036] The relay is connected to the wireless communication module and is used to respond to online control information (i.e., remote control information of the switch) sent by the user through the user terminal software.

[0037] The relay is connected to the touch module and is used to respond to offline control information issued by the user through the touch module (i.e., switch control information issued directly by the user through the touch module).

[0038] The current sensor is connected in series with the relay to detect the loop current of the circuit in which it is located (i.e., the relay circuit) and send it to the wireless communication module to upload to the server. The user terminal software displays the working status of the switch terminal based on the loop current.

[0039] Specifically, the current sensor is connected to the wireless communication module, and the signal output by the current sensor can be used to determine whether the relay forms a circuit.

[0040] Preferably, the output signal of the current sensor is a digital signal; wherein, when the relay is closed, the current sensor detects the loop current and outputs a digital signal "1", and the user terminal software displays the working state of the switch terminal as closed; when the relay is open, the current sensor does not detect the loop current and outputs a digital signal "0", and the user terminal software displays the working state of the switch terminal as open.

[0041] Preferably, the number of the switch terminals is one or more.

[0042] Preferably, there are multiple switch terminals, each connected to the coordinator, and each switch terminal is assigned an independent communication address. The user terminal software is used to control and manage the multiple switch terminals, and to acquire and display the working information uploaded by the multiple switch terminals to the server.

[0043] That is, the same coordinator can connect to multiple switching terminals, and each switching terminal is assigned an independent communication address.

[0047] Specifically, to protect user privacy, users can decide whether to activate the system's remote monitoring function through the client software.

[0048] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the working process of the above-mentioned IoT-based remote monitoring switch system is as follows:

[0049] S1, The user uses the client software to obtain the switching operation information of the switch terminal;

[0050] S2, the user sends a control signal using the acquired switch operation information;

[0051] S3, the switch terminal receives signals and changes its working state;

[0052] S4, the current sensor detects the circuit continuity and returns it to the user software. When the circuit continuity changes, the switch operation status displayed in the user software changes accordingly.

[0053] The switch operation information includes environmental monitoring information of the switch terminal and the circuit continuity status.

[0054] The circuit continuity information comes solely from the current sensor. This means that the user-end software only changes the displayed switch operating state when it receives a change in the circuit continuity information from the current sensor, thus improving the accuracy of the switch operating state display. Figure 1 As shown, the brown arrows indicate that the change in the switch's operating state is determined solely by the current sensor's judgment.

[0055] The control signals sent by the user include online signals sent via client software and offline signals sent via the touch module. When the user performs offline control of the switch terminal, S1 can also be omitted.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
