[0037] Existing indoor environmental monitoring equipment is mostly single-function products, typically monitoring only one or a few environmental parameters. Furthermore, its power supply and control methods are limited, failing to meet the needs of diverse scenarios. In addition, existing equipment often suffers from complex installation, inconvenient maintenance, and poor interconnectivity, restricting its widespread adoption and development in practical applications.

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an indoor environmental monitoring and control device supporting multiple application scenarios and multiple parameters, including: a housing 1, which houses a control motherboard 2 and sensor components. The control motherboard 2 and sensor components can be located inside or outside the housing 1, but for aesthetic reasons, they are generally located inside. Furthermore, a cavity is formed inside the housing 1 to house the control motherboard 2 and sensor components, which are integrated onto the control motherboard 2. The control motherboard 2 is electrically connected to the sensor components, which collect indoor environmental factor information and transmit it to the control motherboard 2. Based on the type of indoor environmental factor information, the control motherboard 2 controls an electric actuator that matches the type of indoor environmental factor information, thereby automatically improving indoor environmental conditions through the electric actuator.

[0039] Furthermore, the housing 1 is equipped with a USB port 3, an Ethernet port 4, a DC power port 5, and an RS485 port 6, while the control motherboard has a wireless network module. The entire device can connect to an external power source via USB port 3, Ethernet port 4 (PoE charging), and DC power port 5. It can also exchange signals and data with the control motherboard 2 via USB port 3, Ethernet port 4, and RS485 port 5, thus meeting power supply and data exchange requirements under different conditions. The entire control device not only features multiple communication interfaces (USB port 3, Ethernet port 4, RS485 port 5) for easy integration with other devices and systems, but also supports multiple power supply methods (USB port 3, Ethernet port 4, DC power port 5) to adapt to different installation environments and needs. Moreover, some communication interfaces can be shared with power supply interfaces (USB port 3, Ethernet port 4), reducing the number of interfaces and simplifying the overall wiring complexity. Simultaneously, its modular design makes maintenance and expansion easier and more efficient, improving the device's availability and reliability.

[0040] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a front cover 101, a rear cover 102, and a surrounding plate 103. The front cover 101 and the rear cover 102 are disposed opposite to each other, and their overall shape can be rectangular, circular, etc., depending on the device's configuration for different scenarios. The surrounding plate 103 is disposed between the front cover 101 and the rear cover 102, and is fixed to the opposite edges of the front cover 101 and the rear cover 102, thereby forming a chamber for installing the control motherboard 2 and some sensors in the sensor assembly. The rear cover 102 is used to assemble the device using screw holes at its four corners. The two pairs of snap-fit ​​designs on the rear cover 102 facilitate installation, and the snap-fit ​​design allows for easy disassembly of the device when maintenance is required, effectively improving maintenance efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly includes an illuminance sensor 7 and a gas sensor 8. The illuminance sensor 7 and gas sensor 8 are located within a chamber and electrically connected to the control motherboard 2. Illuminance (light intensity) is an important indicator of indoor environmental comfort. The illuminance sensor 7 can monitor indoor illuminance in real time, helping people determine whether the indoor environment meets the needs of work, life, and other activities. For example, in a school classroom, appropriate illuminance is crucial for students' vision protection and learning effectiveness; the illuminance sensor 7 can monitor whether the classroom lighting meets standards. The illuminance sensor 7 can work in conjunction with other environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration. For instance, in a smart home system, when the illuminance sensor detects dim indoor lighting and the temperature sensor detects low indoor temperature, the system can automatically turn on warm lights to create a comfortable and warm environment.

[0042] Gas sensor 8 includes multiple high-precision sensors such as CO2, particulate matter, VOC, and formaldehyde sensors, capable of real-time detection of data on gases such as CO2, particulate matter, VOC, and formaldehyde in the indoor environment. Based on the detected data on gases such as CO2, particulate matter, VOC, and formaldehyde in the indoor environment, the control motherboard 2 controls the corresponding electric actuators to operate. For example, when the concentration of gases such as CO2, particulate matter, VOC, and formaldehyde in the indoor environment exceeds a set concentration value (such as the nationally stipulated safe concentration value), the control motherboard controls the indoor fresh air system or air conditioner to operate, promoting faster indoor air circulation and thus ensuring that the indoor gas concentration remains at the preset value.

[0043] In summary, the device supports three power supply methods: USB, PoE, and DC power, allowing for power delivery using any of these methods. Furthermore, it features three communication methods: RS485 (RS485 interface 6), Ethernet, and WiFi, significantly enhancing its adaptability to various scenarios. The device integrates high-precision sensors, including an illuminance sensor 7, a CO2 sensor, and sensors for particulate matter, VOCs, and formaldehyde, enabling real-time monitoring and recording of key environmental parameters. By flexibly configuring the sampling cycle and utilizing RS485, wired Ethernet, and wireless WiFi transmission technologies, the device can upload real-time data to a cloud server for remote monitoring and analysis. To enhance practicality and convenience, the device also features historical data storage, supporting data calibration, data acquisition, device information retrieval, historical data download, and OTA upgrades via PC tools. Its compact size and structure make it easy to carry and deploy, enabling long-term online monitoring across multiple scenarios and needs. Real-time data acquisition is processed in the cloud, and control strategies are then distributed to actuators such as air conditioners, fans, and curtains.

[0044] The entire device supports three power supply methods: PoE, DC power, and USB, enabling long-term, stable monitoring in various usage scenarios. The DC power interface is located on the rear cover (102) and supports 5V or 12V voltage adapter power supply. It integrates multiple high-precision sensors, capable of comprehensively and accurately monitoring environmental parameters. Employing RS485, wired Ethernet, and Wi-Fi communication methods, it supports real-time data transmission and remote monitoring, allowing users to easily monitor environmental changes. The cloud platform also boasts powerful data processing and storage capabilities, providing users with rich historical data and data analysis services. Furthermore, leveraging the powerful data analysis and processing capabilities of the cloud, control strategies can be distributed to actuators in real time.

[0045] In some embodiments, the control device in this embodiment further includes a cosine calibrator 9, which is mounted in the center of the front cover 101 relative to the illuminance sensor 7. In complex lighting environments, such as indoor environments with multiple reflected light sources or outdoor environments with diffused light, the cosine calibrator 9 helps the illuminance sensor 7 to more accurately measure the true illuminance. For example, in an indoor stadium with a large skylight, light enters the room from various angles through the skylight, including direct incident light and indirect light after multiple reflections. The cosine calibrator 9 enables the illuminance sensor 7 to accurately measure the actual illuminance in such complex multi-angle lighting environments, thereby providing more accurate data.

[0046] In some embodiments, the front cover 101 is further provided with a first vent 1011, through which air is introduced into the cavity. One or more first vents 1011 can be provided; when there are multiple first vents 1011, they are arranged in a ring along the cosine calibrator 9 on the front cover 101. The first vents 1011 and the cosine calibrator 9 on the front cover 101 are designed to ensure uniform light transmission, enabling the illuminance sensor 7 on the control board 2 to accurately collect illuminance data. The second vent 1031 provided on the enclosure 103 can both dissipate heat and, in conjunction with the first vents 1011, quickly and accurately collect indoor environmental gas data.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sensor assembly further includes a temperature sensor 10; a mounting rod 11 is provided on the enclosure 103, and the temperature sensor 10 is mounted on the mounting rod 11 and electrically connected to the control mainboard 2. The temperature sensor 10 can collect indoor temperature and humidity data, and the control mainboard 2 controls the operation of the electric actuator based on the temperature and humidity data. For example, when the temperature sensor 10 detects that the indoor temperature and humidity exceed preset values, the control mainboard 2 receives the temperature and humidity data and controls the operation of indoor air conditioners, fresh air units, dehumidifiers, etc., thereby reducing the indoor temperature and humidity and providing a healthy indoor living environment.

[0048] In some embodiments, a first through slot 1021 is provided on the rear cover 102. The Ethernet port 4, DC power interface 5, and RS485 interface 6 are located within the cavity and are electrically connected to the control motherboard 2, respectively. An external power supply or external communication device passes through the first through slot 1021 and interfaces with the corresponding Ethernet port 4, DC power interface 5, and RS485 interface 6, thus fully utilizing the internal space of the housing 1 and reducing the overall size of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the side wall of the front cover 101 is further provided with a second through slot. The USB interface 3 is located inside the cavity and is electrically connected to the control motherboard 2. An external power supply device and / or an external communication device passes through the second through slot and docks with the USB interface 3. The side of the front cover 101 is also provided with a light guide column, a setting button 14, a WIFI button 13, and a status indicator light 12. The top of the rear cover 102 is provided with two symmetrically arranged notches 1022, which allow it to be hung on a wall.

[0050] The rear cover 102 features a wired Ethernet port 4 and an RS-485 interface 6, while a Wi-Fi button 13 is located on the left side of the device. The device can connect to an external network via the wired Ethernet port 4. The Wi-Fi button 13 is a circular button specifically designed for configuring the wireless Wi-Fi network. To configure the wireless Wi-Fi, press and hold the button 13 to scan a QR code using a WeChat mini-program or connect via a PC tool. When the Ethernet port 4 and Wi-Fi button 13 are insufficient for specific usage scenarios, communication can be achieved via the RS-485 interface 6. For power supply, the device supports three methods: USB port 3 can be used for both charging and data acquisition; DC power interface 5 is located on the rear cover 102 and supports 5V or 12V adapter power; and PoE power supply is also supported, allowing users to choose any power method as needed. This combination of communication and power supply methods significantly enhances the device's applicability and flexibility in diverse scenarios.

[0051] The device integrates three different communication methods: wired Ethernet, wireless WIFI, and RS485.

When the device fails to connect to the network, the status indicator 12 will flash red to indicate that the device is not connected to the network. Simultaneously, the device supports three different power supply methods: PoE power, USB power, and DC power. Any of these three power supply methods can be selected to power the device, making it suitable for various scenarios.
