[0025] Example 2
[0026] The vibration sensor module includes a vibration detection unit, a signal conditioning circuit, a self-test unit, and a temperature compensation unit. The signal output terminal of the vibration detection unit is connected to the signal input terminal of the signal conditioning circuit. The self-test unit is bidirectionally connected to both the temperature compensation unit and the vibration detection unit. The signal output terminal of the signal conditioning circuit is also the signal output terminal of the vibration sensor module. The vibration detection unit includes N accelerometers and a gyroscope, where N ≥ 2. The signal conditioning circuit includes an amplifier, a filter, and an isolator.
[0027] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The vibration detection unit includes N accelerometers (N≥2) and at least one gyroscope. These sensors can capture the vibration of the power equipment in multiple directions, including linear acceleration and rotational motion. By deploying multiple accelerometers, vibration can be monitored simultaneously on different axes, thereby obtaining more comprehensive mechanical condition information and helping to more accurately locate the fault source. The weak electrical signal from the vibration detection unit is first amplified by an amplifier to ensure sufficient signal strength in subsequent processing stages. To reduce noise interference and extract useful signals, a filter is used to filter the amplified signal, removing unwanted frequency components such as high-frequency noise or low-frequency drift. To protect the back-end circuit from the influence of potential high voltage or current spikes at the front end, an isolator is used for electrical isolation, ensuring the stability and safety of the system. The self-test unit is responsible for periodically checking the status of the vibration detection unit and the temperature compensation unit to ensure their normal operation. It can verify the correctness of the sensor response by sending test signals and feed the results back to the controller or other monitoring systems. If an anomaly is detected, the self-test unit will trigger an alarm or take other measures, such as automatic restart or parameter adjustment, to maintain the reliability of the system. The temperature compensation unit monitors the ambient temperature in real time and adjusts the output of the vibration detection unit according to temperature changes to eliminate measurement errors caused by temperature fluctuations. This process is bidirectional, meaning that the temperature compensation unit not only affects the output of the vibration detection unit but can also receive data from the vibration detection unit for more accurate compensation calculations. The vibration signal optimized by the signal conditioning circuit is used as the final output of the vibration sensor module and transmitted to the subsequent data storage module or other processing units. There is a bidirectional connection between the self-test unit, the temperature compensation unit, and the vibration detection unit, allowing them to exchange status information and control commands to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the entire module's operation.
[0028] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the configuration of multiple sensors enables simultaneous monitoring of the vibration of power equipment in different directions, providing more comprehensive data and thus improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis; these components effectively improve the quality of the original signal, reduce noise interference, and ensure that the vibration information received in the subsequent processing stage is clear and accurate; regular health checks on the vibration detection unit and temperature compensation unit can promptly detect and report potential problems, reducing misjudgments or missed reports caused by sensor failures. This not only improves system reliability but also reduces maintenance costs; real-time monitoring of ambient temperature and adjustment of sensor output based on temperature changes eliminates measurement errors caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistency and accuracy under different environmental conditions; the amplified, filtered, and isolated signal is directly used as the output of the vibration sensor module, providing high-quality input to subsequent data processing modules, aiding in further analysis and decision-making; the integration of all functional units into a single module reduces the need for external connections, lowers complexity, and facilitates installation and maintenance; the bidirectional connection between the self-test unit, temperature compensation unit, and vibration detection unit allows them to collaborate, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the entire module's operation and facilitating troubleshooting; the presence of the isolator effectively protects the back-end circuitry from potential high-voltage or current spikes at the front end, increasing system stability and safety, and indirectly extending the sensor module's lifespan; these features make this vibration sensor module ideal for remote monitoring applications, enabling automatic identification and reporting of abnormal states, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving operational efficiency.
[0029] Example 3
[0030] The data storage module includes a cache, a non-volatile memory, a data management unit, a data encryption unit, and a data compression unit; the data management unit is bidirectionally connected to the cache and the non-volatile memory; the data encryption unit and the data compression unit are connected in series between the data management unit and the non-volatile memory; the interface of the data management unit is the data input / output terminal of the data storage module.
[0031] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: Raw vibration data generated by the vibration sensor module or other data sources first enters the data storage module through the interface of the data management unit. The data management unit temporarily stores the received data in the buffer area. The buffer area serves to quickly respond to data write requests, improve the real-time performance of the system, and provide buffer space for subsequent data processing; it is responsible for managing and scheduling data streams, including reading data from the buffer area, performing necessary format conversions or preliminary analysis, etc. It coordinates data exchange between the buffer area and non-volatile memory and ensures that data is stored correctly according to predetermined rules; before the data is transmitted from the buffer area to the non-volatile memory, the data compression unit compresses the data. This step reduces the required storage space, improves storage efficiency, and speeds up data writing; immediately after data compression, the data encryption unit encrypts the compressed data to ensure data security and privacy. The encrypted data is sent to the non-volatile memory for storage; the compressed and encrypted data is finally stored in the non-volatile memory. This type of storage medium can retain data without loss in the event of a power outage, making it suitable for long-term storage of important monitoring data. When data needs to be read, the data management unit extracts the encrypted and compressed data from the non-volatile memory, decrypts and decompresses it, restores it to the original data format, and then outputs it to the signal processing module or other modules that need to use this data through its interface.
[0032] The above technical solution offers the following advantages: it provides a fast data read / write buffer, reducing the frequency of access to non-volatile memory and thus accelerating data processing. For applications with high real-time requirements, such as vibration monitoring of power equipment, it ensures timely response and efficient data transmission. It encrypts data stored in non-volatile memory to prevent sensitive information leakage or tampering. Even if the storage medium is lost or stolen, unauthorized users cannot easily access valuable data. Compression algorithms reduce the space occupied by data, improving the effective utilization of the storage medium and reducing transmission costs and time, which is especially important when large amounts of data need to be stored for extended periods. The use of non-volatile storage technologies such as flash memory or SSDs ensures that data is not lost even in the event of a sudden power outage or other unforeseen circumstances. This is crucial for mission-critical applications, ensuring data integrity and reliability. The integration of all functional units into a single module reduces the need for external connections, lowers complexity, and facilitates installation and maintenance. This integrated design also contributes to improved system stability and durability. As a core component, it coordinates the work of various sub-modules, including data read / write control, compression / decompression operations, and encryption / decryption processes. It can flexibly adjust resource configuration according to actual conditions to ensure optimal performance; the data management unit can dynamically adjust the working status of each sub-module according to actual needs, such as putting some components into sleep mode under low load, thereby saving energy and extending hardware life; these features make this data storage module very suitable for remote monitoring applications, which can automatically identify and report abnormal states, reduce the need for manual intervention, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency; the data management unit can flexibly cope with different data traffic and types, support multiple data formats and protocols, and is suitable for a wide range of industrial monitoring and other application scenarios that require high-precision data recording.
[0033] Example 4
[0034] The signal processing module includes an analog front-end, a data signal processor, an FPGA, a coprocessor, and an algorithm library. The signal output of the analog front-end is connected to the input of the digital signal processor. The signal output of the digital signal processor is connected to the signal input of the FPGA.

The output of the digital signal processor is also the signal output of the signal processing module. The analog front-end includes an ADC converter, and the algorithm library has various preset analysis algorithms.
[0035] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The analog vibration signal output by the vibration sensor module is first sent to the analog front end. The analog front end contains an ADC converter, which is responsible for converting the analog signal into a digital signal for subsequent digital processing. Before or after the ADC conversion, the analog front end may also contain some preliminary signal conditioning functions, such as amplification and filtering, to optimize the signal quality entering the DSP. The digital signal after ADC conversion is then passed to the DSP. The DSP performs a series of primary signal processing tasks, including but not limited to time-domain analysis, spectrum analysis, and feature extraction. These processing steps aim to extract useful information from the raw data and reduce noise and irrelevant data components. The data processed by the DSP can be further passed to the FPGA for more complex real-time calculations. The FPGA is particularly suitable for implementing customized hardware acceleration logic, which can significantly improve the execution speed of specific algorithms, such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) or other real-time-critical operations. To share the computational load of the DSP or perform specialized tasks, the coprocessor is bidirectionally connected to the DSP and exchanges data. This collaborative mode allows both to allocate workloads as needed, improving overall processing efficiency. The algorithm library contains a variety of preset analysis algorithms that support calls from both the DSP and the coprocessor. It not only provides standard signal processing methods but also allows for the loading of customized algorithms for specific application scenarios, enhancing the system's flexibility and adaptability. This enables the DSP and coprocessor to dynamically select appropriate algorithms based on current processing needs and retrieve corresponding instruction sets from the algorithm library. Simultaneously, they can also feed the processing results back to the algorithm library for parameter adjustment or algorithm performance optimization. Finally, the processing results generated by the DSP are transmitted through its output terminal as the output of the entire signal processing module, and then passed to the controller module or other subsequent processing units for decision-making or further analysis.
[0036] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the ADC in the analog front-end ensures high-quality analog-to-digital conversion, reduces information loss and noise introduction, and provides an accurate data foundation for subsequent processing; the DSP can quickly execute complex mathematical operations, such as filtering, spectrum analysis, and feature extraction, ensuring real-time performance and accuracy. Combined with the hardware acceleration capabilities of the FPGA, the processing speed is further improved, especially suitable for applications requiring immediate response; the algorithm library contains a variety of preset analysis algorithms, allowing the DSP and coprocessor to select the most suitable algorithm based on specific application scenarios. This not only improves the system's versatility but also enables customized development for specific needs, enhancing adaptability; the bidirectional connection between the algorithm library and the DSP and coprocessor allows for dynamic loading and adjustment of algorithm parameters, ensuring the system can flexibly cope with different types of vibration data and changing working environments; this design allows both to rationally allocate work according to task complexity and computational load, avoiding overloading of a single processor and improving overall efficiency. Simultaneously, it facilitates the implementation of more complex parallel processing tasks. For certain computationally intensive tasks, such as FFT transformation or other real-time operations, FPGA can provide efficient hardware acceleration, reducing the DSP burden and improving system performance. From the analog front-end to the final output, the entire data path is carefully designed to ensure the continuity and integrity of data transmission, reducing the risk of data loss due to transmission errors or interruptions. The good interaction design between components and the built-in self-testing function help to promptly detect and correct potential problems, maintaining the long-term stable operation of the system. All key components are integrated into one module, reducing the need for external connections, lowering complexity, and facilitating installation and maintenance. The modular structure also reserves space for future upgrades and technological improvements. Through reasonable task scheduling and load balancing strategies, unnecessary power consumption can be reduced without affecting performance, extending hardware lifespan, making it particularly suitable for monitoring equipment that operates continuously for long periods. These features make this signal processing module ideal for remote monitoring applications, enabling automatic identification and reporting of abnormal states, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving operational efficiency.

[0038] The controller module includes a microcontroller unit, a real-time operating system, a user interface, a fault diagnosis unit, and a timer. The microcontroller unit is bidirectionally connected to the user interface, the fault diagnosis unit, and the timer via a bus. The real-time operating system runs on the microcontroller unit. The I / O ports of the microcontroller unit are the input / output terminals of the controller module.
[0039] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: When the device is powered on or reset, the microcontroller unit (MCU) first performs a self-test and initialization process, loading and starting the real-time operating system (RTOS). The RTOS is responsible for managing core functions such as task scheduling and memory allocation; the MCU initializes and configures the various connected sub-modules (such as the user interface, fault diagnosis unit, and timers) through the bus, ensuring they are in a ready state; the RTOS runs on the MCU, coordinating the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks to ensure that each task can be completed within a specified time. It also provides a priority mechanism, allowing critical tasks to be processed first; tasks from different sources are placed in the task queue managed by the RTOS and executed in a set priority order. This includes receiving data from sensors, processing user input, and running diagnostic programs; users can interact with the system through the HMI, setting parameters, viewing status information, or triggering specific operations. The HMI collects user commands and sends them to the MCU through the bus; the MCU updates the display content on the HMI based on the current system status or received data, providing real-time feedback to the user; this unit continuously monitors the health status of the system and checks for any abnormalities. Once a potential problem is detected, an alarm is immediately generated and reported to the MCU. For some problems that can be resolved automatically, the fault diagnosis unit may attempt automatic repair. If the problem is serious, the MCU is notified to take further action, such as restarting the system or entering safe mode. Timers are used to implement timing functions, such as periodically collecting data, executing self-test programs, or sending heartbeat signals. Timers help ensure that certain tasks are executed accurately at predetermined time intervals. The MCU can synchronize with other system components based on the reference time provided by the timer, ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire system. The MCU's I / O ports serve as the input / output interfaces of the controller module, responsible for exchanging data with other modules. The input ends receive information from sensors or other devices, while the output ends send control commands or processed results. The system operates in an event-driven manner, meaning that the corresponding processing logic is triggered only when a new event occurs (such as the arrival of new data, user operation, etc.). This design improves efficiency and reduces unnecessary resource consumption. For critical events requiring immediate response, the system supports an interrupt mechanism, allowing the MCU to pause the current task and prioritize handling urgent events.
[0040] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: RTOS ensures that critical tasks can be completed within a specified time, providing high-precision task scheduling and management, making it particularly suitable for time-sensitive applications. This guarantees the system's rapid response capability and improves overall efficiency; continuous monitoring of the system's health status enables timely detection and reporting of potential problems, and even automatic corrective measures in some cases. This not only improves the system's self-healing capability but also reduces downtime and maintenance costs; through reasonable task allocation and error handling mechanisms, the system's fault tolerance is enhanced, ensuring that even if some components fail, the system can still maintain normal operation of basic functions; it provides an intuitive and user-friendly operating method, simplifying the human-computer interaction process. Users can easily set parameters, view status information, or trigger specific operations through HMI, improving ease of use and user-friendliness; the MCU updates the display content on the HMI in real time based on the current system status or received data, providing users with immediate feedback and enhancing their sense of control; the MCU connects bidirectionally with each submodule through a bus, achieving efficient data exchange and resource sharing. This design not only simplifies internal communication paths but also facilitates future functional expansion and technological upgrades. Close collaboration between the MCU, fault diagnosis unit, and timer ensures coordinated operation of all system components, improving overall performance. Through reasonable task scheduling and load balancing strategies, unnecessary power consumption can be reduced without impacting performance, extending hardware lifespan, making it particularly suitable for monitoring equipment operating continuously for extended periods. Support for low-power standby further saves energy, making it especially suitable for monitoring power equipment in remote or field locations. Combined with a network communication module, this controller module enables remote monitoring and management, allowing technicians to obtain data, adjust settings, or execute diagnostic procedures remotely, improving operational efficiency. The introduction of the fault diagnosis unit and timer enhances the system's self-maintenance capabilities, reduces the need for manual intervention, and promotes the development of automated management. The integration of all key components into a single module reduces the need for external connections, lowers complexity, and facilitates installation and maintenance. The modular structure also reserves space for future upgrades and technological improvements.

The MAC layer is responsible for media access control, managing communication between multiple devices on the same shared medium, and avoiding conflicts; the data packets processed by the MAC layer finally reach the protocol stack implementation unit. This unit further parses and processes the data according to the preset communication protocol (such as TCP / IP, UDP, etc.), extracting the data required by the application layer; when data needs to be sent, the data generated by the controller module or other modules is first passed to the protocol stack implementation unit. This unit is responsible for formatting data according to the communication protocol and adding necessary header information. The formatted data packet is passed to the MAC layer control unit, which is responsible for determining when it is safe to send the data packet and handling contention issues between multiple devices. The data packet prepared by the MAC layer is then passed to the data link layer control unit, where additional frame header and trailer information is added to ensure the integrity of the data during physical layer transmission. Finally, the frame prepared by the data link layer is converted back into a suitable electrical or optical signal for transmission through the physical layer interface and then sent to the external network. This design allows the protocol stack implementation unit and the MAC layer control unit to exchange necessary control information and status updates, ensuring synchronization and coordination during data transmission. Similarly, the bidirectional connection between the MAC layer control unit and the data link layer control unit ensures close cooperation between the two, optimizing the processing and transmission efficiency of data packets. As the signal input end of the entire communication module, it is responsible for receiving data from other modules and introducing it into the communication process. As the signal output end of the communication module, it is responsible for sending the processed data to the external network, completing the final link in data transmission.
[0044] The above technical solution offers the following advantages: The bidirectional connection between the protocol stack implementation unit and the MAC layer control unit, and between the MAC layer control unit and the data link layer control unit, ensures close collaboration and real-time feedback between layers, improving the accuracy and reliability of data transmission. The data link layer control unit is responsible for frame assembly and disassembly, and performs error detection and correction, ensuring the integrity of data packets during transmission. The protocol stack implementation unit can be configured to support multiple network protocols (such as TCP / IP, UDP, etc.), enabling the communication module to flexibly adapt to different network environments and application scenarios. This design facilitates future functional expansion and technology upgrades, such as adding new communication protocols or improving existing functions, maintaining the system's advanced features. The MAC layer control unit manages communication between multiple devices on the same shared medium, avoiding conflicts and optimizing bandwidth usage, making it particularly suitable for monitoring systems with high real-time requirements. Through reasonable task scheduling and load balancing strategies, unnecessary latency can be reduced without affecting performance, ensuring timely data processing and transmission. The protocol stack implementation unit can implement data encryption and user authentication at the application or transport layer, preventing unauthorized access and sensitive information leakage. The error detection and correction functions provided by the data link layer enhance data transmission security, preventing data loss or corruption.

The main task of the voltage regulator is to convert the unstable input voltage into a stable DC voltage that meets system requirements, ensuring that all modules receive consistent power supply conditions; the BMS is bidirectionally connected to the voltage regulator to jointly monitor and manage the battery status. The BMS not only monitors parameters such as battery charging status, health status, and temperature, but also adjusts the voltage regulator's operating mode according to actual conditions, such as switching to battery power or optimizing the charging rate; when the main power supply is unavailable, the BMS can automatically activate the backup battery and ensure a continuous and stable power supply through the voltage regulator. In addition, the BMS can also provide overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, and other functions to extend battery life; the stable DC power output from the voltage regulator is transmitted to the power distribution unit. This unit is responsible for rationally distributing power to various power-consuming modules (such as vibration sensor modules, data storage modules, signal processing modules, controller modules, and communication modules) to ensure that each module receives adequate power support. The power distribution unit can dynamically adjust the power supply priority of each module according to actual needs, such as reducing the power supply to non-critical modules in low-power mode to save energy. The power output terminal of the power distribution unit is the final output terminal of the entire power management module, directly connected to each power-consuming module to ensure their normal operation. The power distribution unit may also include monitoring circuitry to detect the current consumption of each module in real time and feed this information back to the BMS and voltage regulator for further optimization of power management strategies.

Simultaneously, it optimizes the charging and discharging process, extending battery life; when the main power supply fails, the BMS can seamlessly switch to backup battery power, enhancing the system's fault tolerance and reliability; the power distribution unit can dynamically adjust the power supply priority of each module according to actual needs, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. For example, in low-power mode, it reduces the power supply to non-critical modules to save energy; it rationally allocates power resources, avoiding situations where some modules are overloaded while others are idle, improving the overall system's energy efficiency ratio; all critical components are integrated into one module, reducing the need for external connections, lowering complexity, and facilitating installation and maintenance.
