Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of IoT communication technology, and in particular to an integrated IoT communication module. Background Technology

[0002] We live in an era of intelligence, where all devices are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT) for convenient real-time control and continuous feedback. This is especially true for rehabilitation medical products, where devices connected to the IoT can promptly monitor patients' various conditions and make more reasonable training arrangements and monitoring.

[0003] Most existing IoT modules are soldered packages and lack data processing units, only providing bidirectional data transmission. This makes upgrading older devices to IoT connectivity extremely unfriendly, requiring hardware modifications and significant software work. Furthermore, soldered modules do not offer the option to install an IoT module, meaning that adding a module would undoubtedly increase unnecessary costs for customers who do not require IoT functionality. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the Wi-Fi module is a Wi-Fi module of model ESP-07S.

[0009] Furthermore, the interface is an M.2Bkey gold finger conductive contact interface.

[0010] This invention employs a microcontroller and wireless transparent transmission module. The interconnection interface utilizes PCB gold finger technology, eliminating the need for additional connecting components, ensuring a secure and reliable connection at no extra cost. Data communicates with this module wirelessly.

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, an integrated IoT communication module is characterized by comprising: an antenna 1, a Wi-Fi module 2 coupled to the antenna 1 for wireless transmission, a microcontroller 3 coupled to the Wi-Fi module 2 for data processing, a voltage regulator chip 4 coupled to the microcontroller 3 for providing stable voltage, and an interface 5 coupled to the microcontroller 3 and the voltage regulator module for accessing devices. In this embodiment, the microcontroller 3 is selected as an STM32F103 microcontroller, which is a high-performance, low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller that supports a processing frequency of up to 72MHz and has various storage capacity options, including Flash memory and SRAM, to meet different program and data storage needs. It also integrates various peripheral interfaces 5, such as USART, SPI, I2CCAN, bus, ADC, and DAC, facilitating communication and control with external devices. Furthermore, it supports multiple operating modes and has low power consumption characteristics, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. The STM32F103 also provides powerful interrupt handling capabilities, timer functions, and a DMA controller, enabling complex task scheduling and data processing. Its development environment is user-friendly, supporting various compilers and development tools. In this embodiment, the STM32F103 is selected as the core controller, providing powerful processing capabilities and rich peripheral interfaces, enabling the implementation of complex control logic and data processing tasks.

[0016] In this embodiment, the voltage regulator module is selected as AMS1117, a forward low-dropout regulator with a voltage drop of 1.2V at 1A current. It has fixed output voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.85V, 3.0V, 3.3V, and 5.0V with 1% accuracy; the fixed output voltage of 1.2V has 2% accuracy. It is designed to provide 1A output current with a working voltage drop as low as 1V. At maximum output current, the minimum voltage drop of the AMS1117 device is guaranteed not to exceed 1.3V, and gradually decreases as the load current decreases. The AMS1117 also integrates overheat protection and current limiting circuitry. In this embodiment, the AMS1117, as voltage regulator chip 4, provides a stable 3.3V or 5V power supply to the circuit, ensuring the normal operation of each module.

[0017] The Wi-Fi module 2 is model ESP-07S. The ESP-07S is a high-performance Wi-Fi module based on the ESP8266 chip, supporting three working modes: STA, AP, and STA+AP, enabling flexible network access and networking for devices. It features a built-in 32-bit RISC processor with a clock speed of up to 160MHz, supports a complete TCP / IP protocol stack, and can operate independently or in conjunction with other microcontrollers. It has rich interfaces such as UART, GPIO, and ADC, facilitating communication and control with external devices. Its low-power design makes it suitable for battery-powered portable devices. It supports the AT command set, simplifying development and integration. In this embodiment, the ESP-07S is selected as the Wi-Fi module to achieve wireless network connectivity for the device, supporting data transmission, remote control, and IoT functions.

[0018] Interface 5 is selected as an M.2B key interface, and this interface 5 uses conductive contacts made with gold finger technology, i.e., gold finger conductive contacts. Because gold finger conductive contacts have high conductivity, they will not cause signal loss. At the same time, gold has very strong ductility, which can increase the contact area between contacts under appropriate pressure, thereby reducing contact resistance and improving signal transmission efficiency. In addition, the use of M.2B key interface 5 can be adapted to most existing medical products. M.2B-Key gold finger conductive contact interface 5 provides convenient physical connection, which facilitates quick connection with external devices or expansion modules, enhancing the expandability and flexibility of the circuit.

[0019] In this embodiment, the ANT pin of the WiFi module 2 is connected to the antenna 1, the POWER pin of the WiFi module 2 is connected to the POWER pin of the microcontroller 3 and is also connected to the voltage regulator module, the UART pin of the WiFi module 2 is connected to the UART2 pin of the microcontroller 3, and the UART1 and UART3 pins of the microcontroller 3 are connected. The IIC and SPI pins of the microcontroller 3 are reserved pins.

[0020] In this embodiment, the high performance and low power consumption of the STM32F103, combined with the stable power supply of the AMS1117, enable the entire circuit to operate efficiently while effectively controlling power consumption. The addition of the ESP-07S provides the circuit with wireless networking capabilities, allowing easy access to Wi-Fi networks for remote monitoring, data uploading, and device control. Furthermore, the M.2B-Key interface 5 allows for convenient connection to various expansion modules and is compatible with most medical products. The STM32F103 offers a mature development environment and abundant development resources, and combined with the ESP-07S's AT instruction set, it reduces development difficulty and shortens the development cycle.

[0021] This embodiment employs a microcontroller 3 plus a wireless transparent transmission module. The interconnect interface 5 uses PCB gold finger technology, requiring no additional connecting components, ensuring a secure and reliable connection at no extra cost. Data communicates with this module wirelessly. The ESP-07S handles wireless data transmission and reception, which is then processed by the SMT32F103 microcontroller 3 before being transmitted to devices requiring IoT functionality. The host device can directly send the required wireless account and password to this module, allowing it to connect to wireless functionality. It features data processing capabilities and a download and debugging interface 5, making connection convenient and efficient.
