[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a monitoring and sensing system, including at least one measuring device, an electrical connector, and a central control device;

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a monitoring and sensing system, which includes at least one measuring device 10, an electrical connector 30, and a central control device 20.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the measuring device 10 includes a laser sensing module 11 and / or an image sensing module 12. The laser sensing module 11 is configured to emit a sensing laser towards the target area and acquire the distance between the target area and the laser sensing module 11. The image sensing module 12 is configured to acquire image information of the target area. The central control device 20 includes a power supply module 21 and a control module 22. The electrical connector 30 is configured to form an electrical connection between each measuring device 10 and the central control device 20, so that the power supply module 21 supplies power to the measuring device 10 and the control module 22 controls each measuring device 10.

[0031] In the monitoring and sensing system of this application embodiment, there is a central control device 20 and at least one measuring device 10. The central control device 20 is electrically connected to each measuring device 10 through an electrical connector 30. Therefore, during the operation of the monitoring and sensing system of this application embodiment, the power supply module 21 of the central control device 20 can supply power to each measuring device 10 through the electrical connector 30. The measuring device 10 itself does not need to be equipped with a power supply module 21. Furthermore, the control module 22 of the central control device 20 can also control each measuring device 10 to meet the user's monitoring needs for the target area.

[0032] As can be seen, in the monitoring and sensing system of this application embodiment, by setting up a central control device 20, the modules required for power supply, control and other functions can be placed inside the central control device 20, thereby effectively simplifying the required components of the measuring device 10 and making it easier to install the measuring device 10 in some installation locations with high installation difficulty; in addition, the same central control device 20 can supply power to multiple measuring devices 10 and control multiple measuring devices 10, thereby effectively saving the electronic components required for power supply and control, and thus effectively reducing the overall cost of the monitoring and sensing system of this application embodiment.

[0033] It is understandable that the central control device 20 may be equipped with a housing, and the power supply module 21 and the control module 22 are both housed inside the housing; the housing of the central control device 20 can protect the power supply module 21, the control module 22 and other electronic components inside the housing, preventing external environmental conditions such as rain and heat from affecting the normal operation of the above-mentioned electronic components.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring and sensing system of this embodiment further includes a monitoring device 40, and the central control device 20 further includes a communication module 23, which is configured to communicate with the monitoring device 40. Users can use the monitoring device 40 to send relevant control commands to the central control device 20 to control the operation of the measuring device 10, and can also promptly obtain information acquired by the measuring device 10 to facilitate monitoring of the relevant situation in the target area.

[0035] Specifically, the monitoring device 40 can be set up in a location that is geographically far from the central control device 20 and the measuring device 10, and the monitoring device 40 communicates with the central control device 20 through communication means such as mobile communication; or the monitoring device 40 can be set up in a location that is geographically close to the central control device 20 and the measuring device 10, and the monitoring device 40 communicates with the central control device 20 through communication means such as wireless network, and there is no restriction here.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, the power supply module 21 is configured to control the power supply status of each measuring device 10 based on the control commands of the monitoring device 40.

[0037] Specifically, depending on user needs, some measuring devices 10 do not need to operate 24 / 7; they only need to be monitored when construction or other work is being carried out in the target area. Furthermore, when the measuring devices 10 and the central control device 20 are located in areas with limited access to electricity, and can only be powered by solar or wind power, in order to save energy, the measuring devices 10 can be powered only when they are needed to operate. Therefore, the power supply module 21 in the central control device 20 of this embodiment can control the power supply status of each measuring device 10 based on the control commands from the monitoring device 40, effectively saving the energy consumed by the measuring devices 10 while meeting the user's monitoring needs.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the power supply module 21 includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to adjust the output voltage to the required voltage for the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12. It is understood that the required operating voltages for the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 and other devices in the measuring device 10 may be the same or different, and the current form and voltage connected to the ECU may also be different. The ECU can adjust the output voltage to the required voltage for the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to ensure that the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 and other devices in the measuring device 10 can operate normally.

[0039] As mentioned above, when the measuring device 10 and the central control device 20 are located in areas with inconvenient access to electricity, they can only be powered by means of solar or wind power generation. Therefore, in one embodiment of this application, the power supply module 21 further includes an initial power supply unit; the initial power supply unit includes a battery and a solar power generation unit, that is, the measuring device 10 and the central control device 20 in this embodiment of the application are powered by solar energy, and the battery is used to store the electricity generated by the solar power generation unit. Similarly, the power supply module 21 also includes an initial power supply unit; the initial power supply unit includes a battery and a wind power generation unit, that is, the measuring device 10 and the central control device 20 in this embodiment of the application are powered by wind power, and the battery is used to store the electricity generated by the wind power generation unit.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the central control device 20 further includes a video storage module 24, which is configured to communicate with the image sensing module 12 via an electrical connector 30.

[0041] It is understood that in the measurement device 10 of this application embodiment, the capacity of its storage unit is usually limited, and it cannot store video information captured by the image sensing module 12 for a long time. Furthermore, the information captured by each measurement device 10 individually is not convenient for users to play back and view.

[0042] Therefore, by setting a video storage module 24 in the central control device 20, and the video storage module 24 communicating with the image sensing modules 12 of each measuring device 10 via an electrical connector 30, it is convenient to uniformly store the video information captured by the image sensing modules 12 of each measuring device 10. At the same time, since the central control device 20 is connected to the monitoring device 40, it is convenient for users to centrally manage the video information captured by the image sensing modules 12 of each measuring device 10 through the monitoring device 40. This facilitates uninterrupted monitoring of multiple target areas by users, and also enables playback and storage of the video information captured by the image sensing modules 12 of each measuring device 10, thereby improving safety performance.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the measuring device 10 further includes a moving module 13, on which the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 are both disposed. The moving module 13 is configured to be electrically connected to the control module 22 via the electrical connector 30, so as to drive the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate along the first direction and / or the second direction, so as to adjust the position of the target area corresponding to the measuring device 10, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0044] By setting a moving module 13 on the measuring device 10, since the moving module 13 is electrically connected to the control module 22 through the electrical connector 30, it can receive control signals from the control module 22, drive the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate along the first direction and / or the second direction to adjust the position of the target area corresponding to the measuring device 10, so that the user can adjust the position of the target area corresponding to the measuring device 10.

[0045] It is understood that the first direction and the second direction mentioned above can be horizontal and vertical, respectively, or other directions, mainly determined by the installation position of the measuring device 10 in the embodiments of this application.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the moving module 13 includes a rotating chamber 131, a gimbal 132, and a base 133; a laser sensing module 11 and / or an image sensing module 12 are disposed on the rotating chamber 131, the rotating chamber 131 is configured to rotate on the gimbal 132 in a second direction, and the gimbal 132 is configured to rotate on the base 133 in a first direction.

[0047] Since the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 are mounted on the rotating chamber 131, and the rotating chamber 131 is rotatably mounted on the gimbal 132 in the second direction, the rotating chamber 131 can drive the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate in the second direction. Since the gimbal 132 is rotatably mounted on the base 133 in the first direction, the gimbal 132 can drive the rotating chamber 131, the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate as a whole in the second direction. Thus, the measuring device 10 of this embodiment can drive the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate in the first direction, and can also drive the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 to rotate in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the measuring device 10 includes both a laser sensing module 11 and an image sensing module 12. The laser sensing module 11 and the image sensing module 12 are disposed on the rotating chamber 131 along a second direction, and the laser emission direction of the laser sensing module 11 and the shooting direction of the image sensing module 12 intersect each other.

[0049] Since the laser sensing module 11 and the image sensing module 12 are arranged on the rotating chamber 131 along the second direction, and the laser emission direction of the laser sensing module 11 and the shooting direction of the image sensing module 12 intersect each other, the laser emission direction of the laser sensing module 11 and the shooting direction of the image sensing module 12 can point to the same target area at a certain distance. The laser sensing module 11 emits a sensing laser to the target area and obtains the distance between the target area and the laser sensing module 11. The image sensing module 12 can also obtain the image information of the target area.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, the measuring device 10 further includes an environmental sensor 14, which is configured to acquire at least one environmental parameter among light, temperature, and humidity; the monitoring device 40 is configured to control the operation of each measuring device 10 based on the environmental parameters acquired by the environmental sensors 14 of each measuring device 10.

[0051] It is understandable that since the measurement environment is usually an outdoor environment, different environmental conditions will affect the operation of the measuring device 10. Therefore, the measuring device 10 in this application embodiment is provided with an environmental sensor 14. The environmental sensor 14 can acquire at least one environmental parameter among light, temperature and humidity. The monitoring device 40 can control the operation of each measuring device 10 based on the environmental parameters acquired by the environmental sensor 14 of each measuring device 10, thereby ensuring that the measuring device 10 can control the operating parameters of each module such as the laser sensing module 11 and / or the image sensing module 12 according to the corresponding environmental conditions.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0053] Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
