Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a specific embodiment of the smart gas meter with voice interaction function provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0025] A smart gas meter with voice interaction function includes a gas meter housing 1, and a gas metering module 2, a voice recognition module 3, a voice synthesis module 4, a communication module 5, a safety control module 6, a power supply module 7, and a main control module 8 are installed inside the gas meter housing 1.

[0026] Gas metering module 2 is used to detect and record gas consumption in real time;

[0027] The voice recognition module 3 is used to receive the user's voice commands and convert them into control signals. The voice recognition module 3 includes a voice parsing chip 31 and a microphone 32, which is installed on the front surface of the gas meter housing 1.

[0028] The voice synthesis module 4 is used to convert data such as gas consumption and fault information into voice feedback to the user; the voice synthesis module 4 includes a speaker 41 and a voice synthesis chip 42, and the speaker 41 is installed on the front surface of the gas meter housing 1.

[0029] Communication module 5 is used to interact with the user's smart devices (such as mobile phones, smart speakers) or cloud servers;

[0030] Safety control module 6 is used to shut off the gas passage according to remote or voice commands; safety control module 6 includes solenoid valve 61 and solenoid valve drive chip 62;

[0031] The power module 7 is used to provide power to the gas metering module 2, the voice recognition module 3, the voice synthesis module 4, the communication module 5, the safety control module 6, and the main control module 8; the power module 7 includes a power management chip 71 and a lithium battery 72.

[0032] The main control module 8 is connected to the gas metering module 2, the voice recognition module 3, the voice synthesis module 4, the communication module 5, the safety control module 6, and the power supply module 7 respectively. The main control module 8 is a microcontroller unit.

[0033] The smart gas meter with voice interaction function in this embodiment has the following functions:

[0034] (1) Voice query of gas consumption

[0035] The gas metering module 2 detects and records gas consumption in real time. The microphone 32 receives the user's voice commands, such as "Little Gas Butler, check this month's consumption". The voice parsing chip 31 parses the voice command and then transmits the command to the main control module 8. The main control module 8 obtains data from the gas metering module 2 according to the voice command, and then converts the obtained data into a voice signal through the voice synthesis chip 42. The result is then fed back to the user through the speaker 41, such as "You have used 18 cubic meters of gas this month, with a remaining balance of 30 yuan".

[0036] (2) Remote voice interaction

[0037] The cloud server detects that the user's remaining balance is less than the set value, and the system remotely sends the reminder message "Insufficient balance, please pay in time". After receiving the reminder message sent by the system, the communication module 57 transmits it to the main control module 8. The main control module 8 calls the speech synthesis module 4 to generate a voice reminder "Insufficient balance, please pay in time".

[0038] (3) Emergency handling of gas leaks

[0039] Gas metering module 2 detects a gas leak risk and transmits the data to main control module 8. Main control module 8 immediately triggers the following actions: voice synthesis module 4 plays the alarm "Gas leak detected, closing valve!" repeatedly; solenoid valve drive chip 62 controls the shut-off solenoid valve 61 to close the gas passage; and communication module 5 sends alarm information to the user's mobile phone and system management platform.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this document, terms such as “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
