Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a power data acquisition device, specifically a power information acquisition and communication device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, electricity has become a core energy source supporting our lives. With the continuous development of the global economy and the constant improvement of people's living standards, energy demand is growing rapidly, urgently requiring more precise and efficient strategies and methods for the overall management of electricity resources. Electricity information collection is undoubtedly a crucial link in achieving this key goal. Within the existing technological framework, electricity information collection mainly relies on electricity meters to perform the task of collecting relevant data. Electricity meters provide a relatively convenient way to obtain electricity consumption data within a specific unit of time.

[0003] However, when electrical equipment is in operation, it is highly susceptible to sudden malfunctions due to the interaction of various complex factors. Once a malfunction occurs, it often results in a rapid and significant instantaneous change in the current or voltage within the cable due to short circuits, abnormal power fluctuations, or the combined effect of other potential factors. Although in some cases these transient current and voltage changes do not cause direct and permanent damage to the cable's physical structure, traditional electricity meters, due to their functional design limitations, focus solely on the measurement and statistics of electricity consumption and are unable to accurately capture and record such instantaneous abnormal changes in current and voltage.

[0004] This limitation in the functionality of electricity meters directly leads to the inability to detect potential anomalies in electrical equipment during operation in a timely and effective manner. These devices operating abnormally are like time bombs hidden within the power grid, potentially triggering more serious and dangerous chain reactions such as fire hazards and widespread power outages. This not only severely disrupts and damages people's daily lives but can also cause enormous economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a power information acquisition and communication device to solve the problem in the prior art that the use of electricity meters alone cannot effectively monitor abnormal power information of electrical equipment during operation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A power information acquisition and communication device includes a device body, an antenna, a current sensor, a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor, and a camera unit. The device body has a circuit board installed inside, as well as a processing unit and a wireless communication unit installed on the circuit board. The antenna and the wireless communication unit are electrically connected. The current sensor, voltage sensor, temperature sensor, camera unit, and wireless communication unit are all electrically connected to the processing unit through the circuit board.

[0008] A further technical solution is to mount the camera unit on the front side of the device body using a mounting bracket.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the mounting bracket includes a connecting block and a telescopic arm. The connecting block is located on the front side of the device body, the upper end of the telescopic arm is connected to the lower side of the connecting block, and the lower end of the telescopic arm is connected to the camera unit.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the telescopic arm includes a fixed arm and an adjustable arm. The lower end of the adjustable arm is connected to the camera unit, and the upper end of the adjustable arm is provided with an adjustment hole. The upper end of the fixed arm is connected to the lower side of the connecting block, and the lower end of the fixed arm passes through the adjustment hole and is slidably connected to the adjustment hole. The outer wall of the adjustable arm is provided with a threaded hole near the upper end, which communicates with the adjustment hole. A locking screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and one end of the locking screw is placed on the outside of the adjustable arm and connected to a knob plate.

[0011] A further technical solution includes a mounting strip, both ends of which are bent to form fixed legs, and the device body is mounted on the front side of the mounting strip.

[0012] A further technical solution is to provide a fixing plate on the back of the device body, which is connected to the front of the mounting strip by fixing screws.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. The current sensor, voltage sensor, and temperature sensor can detect the current, voltage, and temperature of the cable, and these data can be transmitted to the remote monitoring terminal through the processing unit and the wireless communication unit.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0018] Figures 1 to 2 The following is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] Example:

[0020] A power information acquisition and communication device includes a device body 1, an antenna 2, a current sensor 3, a voltage sensor 4, a temperature sensor 5, and a camera unit 6. The device body 1 houses a circuit board, a processing unit, and a wireless communication unit mounted on the circuit board. The antenna 2 and the wireless communication unit are electrically connected. The current sensor 3, voltage sensor 4, temperature sensor 5, camera unit 6, and wireless communication unit are all electrically connected to the processing unit via the circuit board. The current sensor 3, voltage sensor 4, and temperature sensor 5 can detect the current, voltage, and temperature of a cable 20. This data can be transmitted to a remote monitoring terminal via the processing unit and the wireless communication unit, allowing operators to review the data and determine if there are any abnormalities in the power information of the cable 20. The camera unit 6 can be used to capture video of the cable 20 being monitored or to capture power information from a standard electricity meter 18, allowing operators to obtain real-time information about the power consumption of the cable 20 connected to the meter 18. The antenna 2 enhances the communication capability of the wireless communication unit. The power information acquisition and communication device in this embodiment is mainly used to acquire power information from the cable 20 and meter 18 in the electrical box 17. By installing the current sensor 3, voltage sensor 4, and temperature sensor 5 on the cable 20, the power information of the cable 20 can be acquired. By pointing the camera unit 6 at the meter 18, the power information data displayed on the meter 18 can be acquired. For some older meters 18 or in cases where the power data of the meter 18 cannot be connected to the processor of the device body 1, the data of the meter 18 can be acquired by directly photographing the meter 18 with the camera unit 6. This method is particularly useful in some temporary electrical boxes 17 and meters 18. The antenna 2 is generally installed on the top of the electrical box 17, which enables better communication and data transmission with the remote monitoring terminal.

[0021] The camera unit 6 is mounted on the front side of the device body 1 via a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket facilitates the fixation of the camera unit 6.

[0022] The mounting bracket includes a connecting block 7 and a telescopic arm 8. The connecting block 7 is located on the front side of the device body 1. The upper end of the telescopic arm 8 is connected to the lower side of the connecting block 7, and the lower end of the telescopic arm 8 is connected to the camera unit 6. By setting the telescopic arm 8, it can adapt to different situations in the electrical box 17. Due to the different installation methods and positions of the electricity meter 18 in the electrical box 17, and considering the position of the main switch 19, the distance between the device body 1 and the electricity meter 18 is different after the device body 1 is installed in the electrical box 17. Therefore, the position of the camera unit 6 can be adjusted by the telescopic arm 8 so that the camera unit 6 can be well aligned with the electricity meter 18.

[0023] The telescopic arm 8 includes a fixed arm 9 and an adjusting arm 10. The lower end of the adjusting arm 10 is connected to the camera unit 6, and the upper end of the adjusting arm 10 is provided with an adjusting hole 11. The upper end of the fixed arm 9 is connected to the lower side of the connecting block 7, and the lower end of the fixed arm 9 passes into the adjusting hole 11 and is slidably connected to the adjusting hole 11. The outer wall of the adjusting arm 10 is provided with a threaded hole 12 near the upper end, which communicates with the adjusting hole 11. A locking screw 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 12. One end of the locking screw 13 is placed on the outside of the adjusting arm 10 and is connected to a knob plate 14. When adjusting the telescopic arm 8, the locking screw 13 is separated from the fixed arm 9 by turning the knob plate 14, so that the fixed arm 9 can slide in the adjustment hole 11 to adjust the overall length of the telescopic arm 8. After adjustment, the locking screw 13 and the fixed arm 9 are pressed together by turning the knob plate 14 in the opposite direction, so that the fixed arm 9 cannot slide in the adjustment hole 11. This completes the length adjustment of the telescopic arm 10.

[0024] It also includes a mounting strip 15, both ends of which are bent to form fixed feet. The device body 1 is mounted on the front side of the mounting strip 15. The mounting strip 15 is used to fix the device body 1 inside the electrical box 17. Through the fixed feet at both ends of the mounting strip 15, the mounting strip 15 can be fixed to the inner wall of the electrical box 17, while avoiding the cable 20, thus providing a mounting strip 15 for the device body 1.

[0025] A fixing plate 16 is provided on the back of the device body 1, and the fixing plate 16 is connected to the front side of the mounting strip 15 by fixing screws. By providing the fixing plate 16, the device body 1 can be well fixed to the front side of the mounting strip 15.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides variations and modifications to the components and / or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
