[0031] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] It should be noted that all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0035] In the power industry, electrical equipment often requires the display of signs to indicate its status, such as operation, maintenance, or standby. Currently, most signs are suspended by ropes, making them susceptible to being blown over or accidentally knocked down. Furthermore, they can only display one status at a time, requiring replacement whenever the equipment status changes, which is prone to errors and involves a significant workload. In addition, current signs are not conspicuous and lack effective audio-visual alerts, making it easy for maintenance workers to overlook them, move to the wrong section, and cause power accidents.

[0036] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a sign and intelligent signage system for power operations. By installing a communication module on the sign, it connects with a maintenance and error prevention system in the power equipment field, enabling remote intelligent control. Furthermore, it provides audio-visual alerts when personnel are detected approaching, thereby improving the sign's applicability.

[0037] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a sign for electrical work provided in an embodiment of this application. The sign is communicatively connected to a maintenance error prevention system.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the sign 10 includes a control module 101, a voice control module 102, a human body sensing module 103, an indicator light 104, and a communication module 105. The control module 101 is connected to the voice control module 102, the human body sensing module 103, the indicator light 104, and the communication module 105.

[0039] The maintenance error prevention system, as a third-party control system, is used to generate display indication information based on the specific conditions of the power equipment indicated on the sign, and send the display indication information to the control module 101 of the sign through the communication module 105, so that the control module 101 controls the operation of other modules of the sign based on the display indication information.

[0040] It should be noted that a third-party control system can also be a lock control system.

[0041] The control module 101 is equipped with an embedded operating system and a built-in main business processing program. It is used to control the connection with the voice control module 102, the human body sensor module 103, the indicator light 104, and the communication module 105, as well as the business logic control of the signage. The control module includes a processor, memory, input / output interfaces, and some necessary circuits. The control module can be a control chip or a PLC controller, etc.

[0042] The control module 101 is also used to receive display instruction information issued by the maintenance error prevention system through the communication module 105.

[0043] The human body sensing module 103 includes at least one of an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, a sound sensor, and a vision sensor. By incorporating diverse human body sensing modules, the application scenarios for signage are enriched, and the applicability of signage is improved.

[0044] The human body sensing module 103 is used to detect when a person is approaching and send a trigger signal to the control module 101, so that the control module 101 sends a prompt command; the voice control module 102 and the indicator light 104 are used to receive the prompt command from the control module 101 and perform voice broadcast and light flashing based on the displayed indication information.

[0045] When multiple human body sensing modules 103 are included, they each send the signals they collect to the control module 101. The control module 101 then analyzes these signals to detect whether a person is approaching and / or to determine the person's location. This improves the timeliness and accuracy of early warnings.

[0046] When multiple human body sensing modules 103 are included, various types of sensors can be integrated into one unit to improve the aesthetics and portability of the signage. Alternatively, different types of sensors can be placed at different locations on the signage to fully utilize the advantages of different sensors and improve detection accuracy.

[0047] The communication module 105 is used to transmit data between the control module and a third-party control system. The communication module can be wireless or wired. When the communication module is wireless, it can be Wi-Fi, WAPI, Bluetooth, or ZigBee, etc. The specific settings of the communication module can be configured according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0048] The sign provided in this application embodiment is connected to the maintenance and error prevention system in the field of power equipment to realize remote intelligent control. Furthermore, it provides audible and visual alerts when personnel are detected approaching, thereby improving the applicability of the sign.

[0049] In some embodiments, the signage further includes a display screen; the display screen is connected to the control module and is used to display the signage information in the display instruction information.

[0050] The display screen is used to display the indicated information in the display instruction information. The display screen can be any one of the following: e-ink screen, liquid crystal display (LCD), light-emitting diode (LED), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), quantum dot (QLED), touch screen, flexible display screen, 3D display screen, etc. The specific type of display screen can be selected according to the actual situation, and this application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0051] The control module and the display screen can be an integrated device or separate devices.

[0052] In this embodiment, the information to be displayed is shown on a display screen, making the displayed information more eye-catching and diverse, and improving the applicability of the sign.

[0053] In some embodiments, the signboard further includes a housing; a mounting groove is provided on the front side of the housing for mounting a display screen; a back plate is provided on the rear side of the housing; the back plate and the mounting groove form a receiving space, in which a control module, a voice control module and a communication module are disposed.

[0054] The casing can be made of metal, such as stainless steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum alloy, and copper sheet, among other metals.

[0055] The casing can also be made of non-metallic materials, such as glass and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or at least one of them.

[0056] The shell material can include both metal and non-metal materials.

[0057] The specific material of the casing can be selected based on the actual usage.

[0058] The casing also includes color attributes, with the color determined based on the selected material and the usage scenario. For example, when labeling electrical equipment, the casing color can contrast sharply with the color of the electrical equipment to improve the visibility of the sign.

[0059] The shell also includes shape attributes, which determine the shape of the shell based on the selected material and the usage scenario.

[0060] The material of the back panel can be the same as or different from that of the shell, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0061] The back panel can be designed with easy-to-install structures, such as hanging holes, brackets, and magnetic structures, allowing for convenient disassembly and installation of the signage. This makes it suitable for various application scenarios, including indoor and outdoor electrical equipment.

[0062] The mounting slot can occupy the entire front side of the housing or a portion of the front side of the housing. The size of the display screen is designed based on the size of the mounting slot so that the display screen can be installed in the mounting slot.

[0063] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another sign for electrical work provided in this application embodiment, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the display screen is an e-ink screen, and the e-ink screen occupies part of the front area of ​​the casing.

[0064] This application embodiment uses a housing as an external support for the sign to protect the internal electronic components, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the sign and extending its service life.

[0065] In some embodiments, the signage further includes a battery module; a removable area is provided on the back panel, and the battery module is disposed in the receiving space and located in the removable area; the battery module includes a battery and a battery management module; the battery supplies power to one or more of the display screen, control module, voice control module, human body sensing module, indicator light and communication module through the battery management module.

[0066] The battery can be a disposable battery, a rechargeable battery, or a solar cell. The specific battery type can be selected based on the actual situation.

[0067] By powering the sign with a battery module, no external power source is needed during use, eliminating the need for drilling holes or wiring on the object being marked. This allows for rapid deployment and installation, improving the ease of use and practicality of the sign.

[0068] Considering that the battery can be a rechargeable battery, a charging interface is also provided on the side of the casing; a charging board is also provided in the housing space, which is connected to the charging interface and the battery module respectively; an external power source is connected through the charging interface to charge the battery module using the charging board.

[0069] The sides of the housing include the top, left, right, and bottom sides. Therefore, the location of the charging port can be set according to the actual situation.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging port is located on the lower side of the casing for easy connection of the charging cable.

[0071] The position of the charging pad is set based on the position of the charging port. For example, if the charging port is located on the lower side of the housing, the charging pad will be positioned close to the charging port within the housing space.

[0072] In this embodiment, a charging interface is provided to charge the battery module, so that the sign can be powered in a timely manner even when there is no replaceable battery, further improving the ease of use and practicality of the sign.

[0073] In some embodiments, the indicator light is located on the front side of the housing.

[0074] When the sign includes a housing, the front side of the housing includes a non-display area in addition to the display area. In this case, the indicator light is set in the non-display area on the front side of the housing.

[0075] You can set one indicator light or multiple indicator lights.

[0076] When multiple indicators are set, they are arranged adjacent to each other near the e-ink screen or symmetrically about the central axis of the display screen, with each indicator displaying a different color.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the sign includes two indicator lights, which are positioned vertically adjacent to each other on the left side of the e-ink screen.

[0078] This application embodiment sets indicator lights on the sign to more intuitively display the status of the object marked by the sign, thereby reminding the user in a more conspicuous way.

[0079] In some embodiments, the signage also includes a speaker; the speaker is disposed on the front or side of the housing; the speaker is connected to a voice control module; the voice control module broadcasts prompts through the speaker.

[0080] When the speaker is located on the front side of the housing, it is positioned in the area of ​​the housing that is not a display screen or an indicator light.

[0081] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the side of the housing includes four sides: top, bottom, left, and right. Therefore, when the speaker is placed on the side of the housing, any one side can be selected.

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, the speaker is located on the lower side of the housing, adjacent to the charging port.

[0083] You can set one speaker or multiple speakers.

[0084] When multiple speakers are set, "multiple" means that the speakers are arranged adjacent to each other, symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the display screen, or arranged on the sides of the housing.

[0085] This application embodiment improves the applicability of the sign by setting up a speaker to increase the volume of the voice broadcast and enhance the warning effect of the sign.

[0086] In some embodiments, the human body sensing module is disposed on the front or side of the housing.

[0087] When the human body sensing module is placed on the front side of the housing, it is placed in the unused area on the front side of the housing. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the human body sensing module is located below the indicator light.

[0088] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the side of the housing includes four sides: top, bottom, left, and right. Therefore, the human body sensing module can be set in any available area of ​​one side.

[0089] The location of the human body sensor module can also be set based on the type of the human body sensor module. For example, if the human body sensor module is an infrared sensor, it can be placed on the front of the housing; if the human body sensor module is a sound sensor, it can be placed on the side of the housing.

[0090] This application embodiment places the human body sensing module on the front or side of the housing, making it easier for the sign to detect human bodies, improving the accuracy of detection, and reducing the risk of accidents.

[0091] In some embodiments, the display screen is an e-ink screen, and a backlight is provided between the mounting slot and the e-ink screen; the backlight is connected to the control module; the backlight is used to supplement the light to the e-ink screen.

[0092] The backlight uses red and green LEDs. It can be used for information reminders or as a screen backlight to supplement the screen when there is insufficient external light, ensuring that the screen information is clearly visible.

[0093] This embodiment uses an e-ink display, reducing the power consumption of the sign and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, e-ink displays are less susceptible to strong light interference, improving the sign's usability. Additionally, a backlight is installed between the mounting slot and the e-ink display to provide supplemental illumination, thus alerting users in a more prominent manner.

[0094] The signage also includes a power switch, which can be located on the side or rear of the housing. The power switch controls the signage's opening and closing. Figure 2 As shown, the power switch is located on the lower side of the housing, adjacent to the speaker.

[0095] Figure 3 This application provides a schematic diagram illustrating the connection of various modules in a sign for electrical work, as shown in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the control module is connected to the e-ink screen, communication module, backlight, indicator light, human body sensor module, and voice control module, respectively. The voice control module is connected to the speaker. The charging board is connected to the battery module. The battery module is connected to the control module, e-ink screen, communication module, backlight, indicator light, human body sensor module, voice control module, and speaker, respectively.

[0096] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an intelligent power operation signage system provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the system includes at least one sign for electrical work, a gateway, and a maintenance error prevention system; wherein, at least one sign for electrical work is connected to the maintenance error prevention system via the gateway.

[0097] In one approach, signs for electrical work are wirelessly connected to a gateway, which is wired to a maintenance error prevention system.

[0098] This application provides an intelligent signage system that enables remote control of at least one sign used for power operations, facilitating unified management of such signs, reducing the workload of manual sign replacement, and improving the applicability of the signs.

[0099] Figure 5 This application provides a schematic diagram of the workflow for a signage system used in electrical work, as illustrated in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the working principle of the sign is as follows:

[0100] 1) The signboard communicates with the maintenance and error prevention system. When maintenance is required, the maintenance and error prevention system sends display instructions to the signboard of the corresponding equipment according to the operation ticket and error prevention instructions.

[0101] 2) After receiving the display instruction information, the signboard sets the corresponding module status according to the display instruction information. For example: the information displayed on the screen, the status of the indicator lights, the status of the backlight, etc.

[0102] 3) The sign uses a human body sensor module to detect if anyone is approaching and to determine if the object being marked is under maintenance. If someone approaches and the equipment is under maintenance, the corresponding prompt message will be broadcast via the voice control module and speaker, such as "Equipment under maintenance," and the indicator light will flash, for example, the green indicator light will flash. If someone approaches but the equipment is not under maintenance, the corresponding prompt message will be broadcast via the voice control module and speaker, such as "Equipment in operation, please do not approach," and the indicator light will flash, for example, the red indicator light will flash.

[0103] 4) When the maintenance error prevention system confirms that the maintenance work is completed, it sends a display instruction to the signboard of the corresponding equipment so that the signboard can work based on the display instruction.
