Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity metering facilities technology, and in particular to an intelligent remote metering integrated device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional electricity metering methods used on construction sites are inefficient. Construction sites often rely on manual meter reading, which carries risks of data update delays and missed detections. Furthermore, manual management struggles to adapt to the dynamic electricity demands of multiple work areas, and paper-based records limit the application of electricity data analysis. In some systems using electronic devices for electricity metering, the reliability of the power supply is insufficient due to on-site use. Conventional remote transmission equipment frequently shuts down due to fluctuations in the construction site's power grid. A single battery power supply cannot meet the needs of long-term continuous monitoring, and power failures directly lead to a break in the electricity data link, affecting metering data and results, and creating numerous adverse factors for subsequent statistical work.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent remote metering integrated device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It is flexible in installation, and different ranges of energy meters can provide measurement for different power load ranges. It is powered by solar energy and batteries, and the data transmission is stable.
[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent remote metering integrated device, including a housing 12, a power supply unit, an energy meter, and an energy remote transmission unit 5. The energy meter and the energy remote transmission unit 5 are both disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 12. The power supply unit is used to supply power to the energy meter and the energy remote transmission unit 5. The energy remote transmission unit 5 is used to transmit data to the data management background. The data management background is used to analyze and process the energy status.
[0025] The electricity meter accurately measures electricity consumption, and the data is transmitted to the supporting data management backend via the electricity energy remote transmission unit 5. This allows for analysis and early warning of electricity usage. Furthermore, to meet the needs of outdoor use, portability, and reliable power supply for the remote transmission device, an independent power supply unit is used to ensure reliable remote transmission of electricity data. The electricity energy remote transmission unit 5 is a mature device in existing technology. In this application, the iSmartGate 2-T204-G1-N2C electricity energy remote transmission unit 5 from Shenzhen Zhongdian can be selected. Of course, substitution with other suitable devices is also permitted.
[0026] In one embodiment, the power supply unit includes a solar panel 1, which is mounted on the top of the housing 12. The solar panel 1 is used for solar power generation. The solar panel 1 can be a commercially available solar panel capable of generating electricity, which is a mature technology in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] In one embodiment, the power supply unit further includes a voltage regulator 6, and the power supply line of the solar panel 1 is connected to the voltage regulator 6. The voltage regulator 6 can also be a commercially available voltage regulator 6, which serves to stabilize the voltage and is a mature technology in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0028] In one embodiment, the power supply unit further includes a battery 7, whose power output line is also connected to a voltage regulator 6. When the battery 7 supplies power, the voltage regulator 6 stabilizes the voltage output, ensuring the stable operation of each unit in the metering integrated device.
[0029] In one embodiment, the power supply unit further includes a backup battery 8, both of which are connected to the voltage regulator 6, and the backup battery 8 and the battery 7 operate in an alternating mode.
[0030] In one embodiment, multiple energy meters with different ranges are installed inside the housing 12 according to different power load ranges. These energy meters with different ranges are used to provide measurements for different power load ranges. For example... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The document provides two energy meters: one is energy meter 1-3, which is a high-range energy meter; the other is energy meter 2-4, which is a low-range energy meter. The appropriate energy meter range is selected based on the power load range. The choice of energy meter range is determined by whether a cable passes through the current transformer 9. Each energy meter has three current transformers 9. When a high-range energy meter is selected, a cable is simply passed through the matching current transformer 9.
[0031] In one embodiment, an antenna 2 is installed on the top of the housing 12. The antenna 2 is used to assist the signal transmission of the power transmission unit 5.
[0032] In one embodiment, a plurality of air switches 11 are installed on the housing 12. The circuit output terminal of each air switch 11 is connected to the electrical equipment, and the circuit input terminal of the air switch 11 is connected to the power supply unit via an electricity meter.
[0033] In one embodiment, two sets of current transformers 9 are provided on the inner side wall of the housing 12. Each set is divided into three phases: A, B, and C. The first set of current transformers is a large-range current transformer (allowing a current of 500A) connected to a large-range energy meter. The second set of current transformers is a small-range current transformer (allowing a current of 250A) connected to a small-range energy meter. The range of energy meter used is determined by whether there is a cable passing through the current transformer 9.
[0034] In one embodiment, a molded case switch 10 is also provided inside the housing 12. The molded case switch 10 serves as the main switch for the high-voltage side cable input and isolates the lower-side air switch 11. When the lower-side air switch 11 needs to be replaced, the molded case switch 10 can be disconnected as needed.
[0035] The entire workflow of the intelligent remote metering integration device is as follows:
[0036] When the equipment load is large, and the primary current reaches 400A-500A, the current can pass through the first set of current transformers (large-range current transformers) to the molded case switch 10, and then through the molded case switch 10 to the lower air switch 11, ultimately reaching the electrical equipment. When the first set of current transformers is connected, the secondary output line of the first set of current transformers is connected to the terminals of the energy meter. The energy meter transmits the collected power data to the background statistical software through the communication line (Ethernet or RS-485 communication) with the energy remote transmission unit 5. To ensure the stability of energy data transmission, a solar panel 1, a voltage regulator 6, and a battery 7 are installed. The solar panel 1 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is input to the voltage regulator 6 and then transmitted to the battery 7. The battery 7 provides a stable operating power supply for the energy remote transmission unit 5, energy meter 3, and energy meter 4.
[0037] When the equipment load is small and the primary current is ≤250A, the current can pass through the second set of current transformers (small-range current transformers) to the molded case switch 10, and then through the molded case switch 10 to the lower air switch 11, and finally to the electrical equipment. When the second set of current transformers is connected, the secondary output line of the second set of current transformers is connected to the terminals of the energy meter. The energy meter transmits the collected power data to the background statistical software through the communication line (Ethernet or 485 communication) with the energy remote transmission unit 5. To ensure the stability of energy data transmission, a solar panel 1, a voltage regulator 6, and a battery 7 are provided. The solar panel 1 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is input to the voltage regulator 6 and then transmitted to the battery 7. The battery 7 provides a stable power supply for the energy remote transmission unit 5, energy meter 3, and energy meter 4.
[0038] Note that only one of the two sets of current transformers can be selected; they cannot be used simultaneously.
