[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] The data acquisition module of the preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the system includes a housing 10, a data acquisition motherboard 20 located inside the housing 10, a data output interface 30 integrated on the data acquisition motherboard 20, a power interface 40 integrated on the data acquisition motherboard 20, and a data input interface 50 connected to the common port of the charging pile. The housing 10 is specifically circular. The data acquisition motherboard 20 has at least one main control chip 60 and one storage chip 70. The main control chip 60 can be an STM32F103, STM32H743ZI, AD2S1210, or AD2S1210WDST, while the storage chip 70 can be a common NAND Flash, NOR Flash, DRAM, or SRAM. Preferably, the main control chip 60 in this solution uses an STM32H743ZI (compliant with ISO26262 functional safety standard) supporting ARM TrustZone technology. Through a built-in encryption coprocessor, dynamic signatures can be implemented during the data acquisition stage to ensure data security and consistency. The storage chip 70 uses an Infineon SLC37 series NOR Flash chip (with integrated Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)).

[0030] Furthermore, the data output interface 30 and the data input interface 50 are located on the two side walls of the data acquisition motherboard, respectively. There are two data input interfaces 50. By placing the two interfaces on the two sides of the housing 10, the installation interference between the connecting cables can be reduced, making the wiring clear. The housing 10 has two first docking windows 80 corresponding to the data output interface 30 and the power interface 40, respectively, to facilitate the connection of the power cable and the insertion of the data acquisition cable by operation and maintenance personnel. The housing 10 has two second docking windows 90 corresponding to the two data input interfaces 50, to facilitate the connection with the common terminal interface of the charging pile.

[0031] Furthermore, the data acquisition motherboard 20 also supports LoRaWAN / 5G NB-IoT dual-mode communication (compliant with 3GPPRelease 15 standard), and can be additionally equipped with a ceramic substrate LDS antenna to realize on-chain data broadcasting. It also integrates a blockchain communication submodule that includes a lightweight node based on the Substrate framework (storage footprint <8MB) and a zk-SNARKs accelerator built on Xilinx Artix-7 series FPGA (supporting Spartan algorithm). This enables the generation of verifiable privacy reports locally and supports cross-chain interaction with the Hyperledger Fabric consortium chain, facilitating the mapping of charging pile operation data to RWA tokens using an asset encapsulation protocol compliant with ERC-3525 standard.

[0032] In practical application management, value separation can be achieved through dual data channels formed by operation and maintenance data streams and asset data streams:

[0033] Operation and maintenance data flow: Fault characteristic data (such as IGBT temperature rise curve, insulation resistance value) are calculated off-chain, and then generated as CID fingerprints through IPFS distributed storage and written into the blockchain for evidence storage (for example, a Merkle Root with timestamp is generated every 5 minutes).

[0034] Asset data flow: Charging pile operation metrics (charging volume, revenue sharing, etc.) are processed using zero-knowledge proofs to generate verifiable credentials, which are then encapsulated into dynamic NFTs using the ERC-3525 standard. Each NFT corresponds to an on-chain digital twin of a specific charging pile and supports fragmented transactions on the Web3 platform.

[0035] The data input interface 50 adopts a tamper-proof ribbon cable socket design and integrates an ADI AD7606C-18 sampling chip and an ADuM3151 isolation module. It can collect 12 types of parameters such as harmonic distortion rate and insulation impedance of the charging pile in real time, and realize trusted processing of end-side data through the built-in AES-256 hardware encryption engine.

[0036] When in use, operation and maintenance personnel can install the module into the charging pile in advance and connect the common terminal of the charging pile's control host to the data input interface. Then, they only need to periodically or when the charging pile malfunctions, they can obtain various operating data of the charging pile through the data output interface 30. The operation is convenient and greatly facilitates the operation and maintenance personnel, further improving the efficiency of data collection and reducing the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0037] Furthermore, while retaining the original modules' convenient maintenance features, the organic integration of trusted hardware and blockchain technology not only solves the timeliness problem of equipment operation and maintenance, but also provides a verifiable technical foundation for the digital circulation of charging pile assets, which is in line with the current level of technological development.

[0038] In this embodiment, the data acquisition motherboard 20 is also provided with a reset button 100 and a switch button 110. The outer casing 10 is provided with two operation windows 120 corresponding to the reset button 100 and the switch button 110. The reset button 100 and the switch button 110 are both located on the same side of the data acquisition motherboard 20 as the first docking window 80, so as to facilitate operation start and stop.

[0039] In this embodiment, the data input interface 50 is a ribbon cable socket, and the data output interface 30 is a Type-C interface. Of course, it can also be other interfaces such as a USB interface.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer casing 10 includes an outer casing body 101 and a mounting base 102 detachably connected to the outer casing body 101. The outer casing body 101 is circular, and the mounting base 102 is cuboid and parallel to the diameter of the outer casing body 101. The mounting base 102 has an extension 130 at one end away from the outer casing body 101. The extension 130 is flush with the end face of the mounting base 102 away from the outer casing body 101. The extension 130 has screw holes 140. There are at least two extensions 130, which are located on two opposite sides of the mounting base 102. The screw holes 140 on the two extensions 130 facilitate fixing the mounting base 102 to the bracket with bolts. The detachable connection design of the outer casing body 101 and the mounting base 102 facilitates the overall replacement of the outer casing body 101 and its internal components in the future, achieving the purpose of compatibility with blockchain module upgrades. Maintenance personnel can replace the communication module by pulling the outer casing, without having to remove screws every time the module is replaced, reducing unnecessary operation steps.

[0041] The ferrite silicone composite shielding layer 230 at the connection between the outer shell 101 and the base can suppress interference in the 50MHz-6GHz frequency band (meeting ISO 7637-2 electromagnetic compatibility requirements).

[0042] In this embodiment, a strong magnet 150 is embedded on the end face of the mounting base 102 away from the outer shell body 101 to assist in positioning during the installation process and further facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting base 102 is provided with a positioning groove 160 for positioning the outer shell body 101. The positioning groove 160 is a concave arc shape that matches the outer arc side wall of the outer shell body 101 and penetrates both ends of the outer shell 10. A positioning boss 170 is provided on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 160. The end of the positioning boss 170 is semi-circular. A positioning groove 180 is provided on the outer shell body 101 corresponding to the positioning boss 170 and is adapted to it. Correspondingly, the bottom surface of the positioning groove 180 is also semi-circular. The inner wall of the positioning boss 170 and the positioning groove 180 are detachably connected to hide the connection structure and increase the overall appearance of the module.

[0044] In this embodiment, ribs 181 are provided on both opposite inner sidewalls of the positioning groove 180. The ribs 181 are inserted along the direction of the positioning boss 170. The sidewall of the positioning boss 170 is provided with a guide limiting groove 171 to guide and limit the ribs 181. When assembled, the ribs 181 are tightly fitted with the inner wall of the guide limiting groove 171 to achieve an interference fit after installation, thereby increasing the stability of the fit between the positioning boss 170 and the positioning groove 180 and reducing the risk of accidental detachment of the mounting base 102 and the outer shell 101.

[0045] In this embodiment, the ribs 181 all extend to the bottom surface of the positioning groove 160. The adjacent ends of the two ribs 181 on the two opposite inner walls of the positioning groove 180 are provided with inclined surfaces 190. The two inclined surfaces 190 enclose a latching structure 200 whose opening gradually narrows towards the positioning boss 170. The positioning boss 170 is provided with a corresponding latching portion 210 that matches the latching structure 200. This latching portion 210 is formed between the adjacent ends of two radially parallel guide limiting grooves 170, and its radial cross-section... The surface is consistent with the bayonet structure 200, and the outer diameter of the former is slightly larger than that of the latter. When the positioning boss 170 is inserted into the positioning groove 180, the bayonet structure 200 tightly covers the outside of the snap-fit ​​part 210, thereby pulling the outer shell body 101 tight and fixing it in the positioning groove 160. When it is necessary to disassemble the outer shell body 101, the operation and maintenance personnel can pull it outward to remove it. When installing, the reverse operation can fix the outer shell body 101 through the cooperation of the positioning boss 170 and the snap-fit ​​part 210.

[0046] In this embodiment, multiple ribs 181 are provided and are parallel to each other, that is, they are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the outer shell body 101 to further play a stabilizing role.

[0047] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
