Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reservoir monitoring technology, and in particular to an intelligent remote telemetry terminal for monitoring all elements of water conservancy. Background Technology

[0002] Ensuring the safe operation of reservoirs is of great significance to ensuring the safety of life and property of people downstream. Setting up various sensors to assess the safety status of reservoirs is an effective measure to ensure their safe operation. Sensor data is generally transmitted to the control center for aggregation and analysis via the antenna of a telemetry terminal.

[0003] Currently, terminal antennas are mainly of two types: internal antennas and external antennas. Terminals with external antennas are often vulnerable to damage by criminals or wild animals. When dealing with criminals, the installation location of external antennas makes them easy to damage, which can make it difficult for the terminal to collect sufficient evidence. While internal antennas cannot be destroyed immediately, their high power consumption increases the operating cost of the terminal. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent remote telemetry terminal for monitoring all elements of water conservancy. By designing an external antenna and an internal antenna, when the external antenna stops operating due to theft or damage by criminals, wildlife damage, or sudden malfunctions, the internal antenna is automatically activated. This helps to ensure the timeliness of data transmission, improve the data reporting rate, enhance the reliability of equipment data, and make the acquisition of reservoir safety operation monitoring data more stable and reliable, while also reducing operating costs.

[0005] A telemetry terminal includes a protective box, a control unit, a data acquisition interface, an external antenna, and a built-in antenna. The control unit is fixed inside the protective box, and the data acquisition interface is fixed to the protective box and extends through the protective box and is electrically connected to the control unit. The data acquisition interface is used to connect to an external monitoring sensor. The external antenna is fixed to the outside of the protective box and is electrically connected to the control unit. The built-in antenna is fixed to the inside of the protective box and is electrically connected to the control unit. When the external antenna is not in operation, the control unit controls the operation of the built-in antenna.

[0006] The telemetry terminal described in this utility model, through the design of an external antenna and a built-in antenna, automatically activates the built-in antenna when the external antenna stops operating due to theft, damage by criminals, wildlife damage, or sudden malfunctions. This helps ensure timely data transmission, improves the data reporting rate, enhances the reliability of equipment data, and makes the acquisition of reservoir safety operation monitoring data more stable and reliable, while reducing operating costs. In addition, the telemetry terminal of this utility model can connect to external monitoring sensors through the data acquisition interface to achieve full-element monitoring of water conservancy.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a camera, which is fixed to the front of the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. The camera records the real-time situation of the environment surrounding the protective box, which is then processed by the control unit and sent to the control center. This assists control center personnel in determining the cause of external antenna malfunctions, facilitating safe and effective on-site handling, and helping to collect criminal evidence of damage or theft of terminals by criminals.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a discharge unit, which is fixed inside the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. The discharge unit is configured so that when video information collected by the camera indicates that criminals or wild animals are attempting to damage the terminal, the control unit controls the discharge unit to generate a current to strike the criminals or wild animals.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a microphone and a speaker, both of which are fixed to the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. The microphone records the sound of the environment surrounding the protective box, which is then processed by the control unit and sent to the control center. The control center personnel combine the video and audio information collected by the camera and microphone to determine the cause of the external antenna malfunction. If the control center personnel confirm that criminals are committing theft or vandalism, they can send audio from the control center to the telemetry terminal, which is then processed by the control unit and played through the speaker to warn and drive away the criminals.

The bolt is fixed to the cover plate, and the bolt box is fixed to the box body. When the cover plate is on the box body, the bolt and the bolt box are locked. The smart electronic lock is electrically connected to the control unit. The smart electronic lock allows the control unit to identify the locked and unlocked states of the lock body and send them to the control center. When the smart electronic lock is unlocked, the control center can use video information collected by the camera to determine whether the unlocking of the lock body is normal.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a touch screen display, which is fixed to the front of the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. The touch screen display allows operators to directly access and view data collected by the sensors connected to the terminal and set the operating parameters of each sensor, facilitating operation.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a heating grid and a temperature sensor, both of which are fixed inside the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the protective box is too low, the control unit controls the heating grid to operate and maintain the temperature inside the protective box within a suitable range, which helps ensure the normal operation of the terminal in cold environments.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a data transmission unit, which is fixed outside the protective box and electrically connected to the control unit. The data transmission unit includes one or more of the following: a 4G antenna, a 5G antenna, a LoRa antenna, and a BeiDou antenna.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective box includes a box body and a cover plate. The box body includes a back plate, a top plate, a bottom plate, and two side plates. The two side plates are arranged in parallel. The bottom plate covers the bottom ends of the two side plates and is fixed.

The terminals of the data acquisition interface 3 adopt a high-density pluggable through-wall terminal wiring method, which is convenient for users to wire, saves wiring time, and avoids the use of existing screw wiring methods, which are prone to screw stripping and waste wiring time.

[0027] The external antenna 4 is located on the outside of the protective box 1 and fixed to the top plate 13 of the protective box 1. The external antenna 4 uses a frequency band of 700MHz to 2100MHz. The external antenna 4 is electrically connected to the data acquisition module, control module, and communication module of the control unit 2. The internal antenna 5 is fixed on the inside of the protective box 1 and is electrically connected to the data acquisition module, control module, and high-frequency communication module of the control unit 2. The internal antenna 5 uses a frequency band of 2300MHz to 2700MHz. In this embodiment of the utility model, the internal antenna 5 and the external antenna 4 are used for the transmission and reception of wireless signals. When the signal strength of the external antenna 4 is less than 5dBm, it is considered that the external antenna has stopped operating. The control module of the control unit 2 switches the high-frequency communication module to perform antenna communication, so that the internal antenna 5 can operate. By designing the external antenna 4 and the internal antenna 5, when the external antenna 4 stops operating due to theft, damage by criminals, damage by wild animals, sudden failure, etc., the internal antenna 5 is automatically activated. This helps to ensure the timeliness of data transmission, improve the data reporting rate, enhance the reliability of equipment data, make the acquisition of reservoir safety operation monitoring data more stable and reliable, and reduce operating costs.

[0028] The data storage unit (not shown) is fixed inside the protective box 1 and fixed to the motherboard. The data storage unit is electrically connected to the data storage module of the control unit 2. The data storage unit is used to store data from the data storage module.

Users can extract data through the above methods, which is convenient and easy to operate.

[0029] The data transmission unit (not shown) is fixed outside the protective box 1 and electrically connected to the data transmission module and control module of the control unit 2 via an aviation plug. The data transmission unit is used to transmit the message data collected in real time by the telemetry terminal to the central platform. The data transmission unit includes one or more of the following: 4G antenna, 5G antenna, LoRa antenna and Beidou antenna. The default is to use 4G communication mode. By designing multiple data transmission interfaces, it is possible to switch to Beidou communication mode to transmit data in remote mountainous areas where there is no 4G signal, thus ensuring the timeliness and reporting rate of the data.

[0030] It also includes a camera 6, which is fixed on the cover plate 11 on the front of the protective box 1. The camera 6 is electrically connected to the video acquisition module and video decoding module of the control unit 2. The video data acquired by the camera 6 is processed by the video acquisition module and then sent to the video decoding module. Then, it is sent to the control center through the data transmission module. The camera 6 records the real-time situation of the surrounding environment of the protective box 1, which is processed by the control unit 2 and sent to the control center to assist the control center personnel in judging the cause of the external antenna 4 failure. This is conducive to safe and effective on-site handling and to collecting criminal evidence of criminals damaging or stealing the terminal. In addition, it can also realize the unlocking of the smart electronic lock 8 by facial recognition, the setting of terminal parameters by facial recognition unlocking, and the operation of the discharge unit triggered by the result of facial recognition.

[0031] The discharge unit is fixed inside the protective box 1 and is electrically connected to the discharge module and control module of the control unit 2. When the control center determines, based on the video information collected by the camera 6, that criminals or wild animals are damaging the terminal, it can actively send a control command to the control unit 2. Ultimately, the discharge module controls the discharge unit to discharge, making the entire protective box of the terminal energized. When criminals or wild animals continue to touch the terminal, they will be subjected to a current surge. In addition, the control module can also send a control command to the discharge module based on the result of failed face recognition and unlocking of the smart electronic lock, causing the discharge unit to discharge, emitting a warning sound through the speaker via the voice intercom module, and sending a prompt message to the control center via the data transmission module.

[0032] Both the microphone and the speaker are fixed on the protective box 1. The microphone and the speaker are electrically connected to the voice intercom module. The microphone records the sound of the surrounding environment of the protective box 1, and the sound is collected by the voice intercom module and sent to the control center through the data transmission module. The control center personnel combine the video and audio information collected by the camera 6 and the microphone to determine the cause of the external antenna 4 malfunction. The control center personnel can send audio from the control center to the telemetry terminal to realize remote manual announcements as needed. For example, if the control center personnel confirm that there are criminals committing theft and vandalism, people illegally fishing in the vicinity, or people swimming in the reservoir, they can send audio from the control center to the telemetry terminal. The audio from the control center is processed by the voice intercom module and played through the speaker to warn, drive away, or persuade people to leave.

[0033] The touchscreen display 7 is fixed to the cover plate 11 on the front of the protective box 1. The touchscreen display 7 is connected to the data acquisition module and control module of the control unit 2. The touchscreen display 7 sends the collected single-machine actions to the data acquisition module. After processing by the control module, the control commands are sent to the sensors, enabling adjustment of sensor parameters on the touchscreen display 7. Additionally, the touchscreen display 7 is designed with a lock button. When the lock button is pressed, on-site personnel cannot adjust the parameters of the terminal before successful facial recognition. The touchscreen display 7 allows staff to directly access and view the data collected by the sensors connected to the terminal and set the operating parameters of each sensor, facilitating operation.

[0034] The smart electronic lock 8 includes a bolt 81 and a bolt box 82. The bolt 81 is fixed on the cover plate 11, and the bolt box 82 is fixed inside the box. When the cover plate 11 is placed on the box and the bolt 81 and bolt box 82 are locked, the cover plate 11 cannot be opened. The bolt 81 is electrically connected to the control module of the control unit 2. When face recognition is successful or an unlocking command is received from the control center, the control module unlocks the smart electronic lock 8. In addition, the control module will also send the collected locking and unlocking status information to the control center through the data transmission module. When the smart electronic lock 8 is in the unlocked state, the control center can determine whether the unlocking of the lock is normal by combining the video information collected by the camera 6.

[0035] As an optional implementation, please refer to Figure 3 The telemetry terminal also includes a heating grid plate 9 and a temperature sensor (not shown). Both the heating grid plate 9 and the temperature sensor are located inside the protective box 1. The heating grid plate 9 is fixed on the back plate 12, and the temperature sensor is fixed on the protective box 1. The heating grid plate 9 is electrically connected to the control module of the control unit 2, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control module and the data acquisition module of the control unit 2. The data collected by the temperature sensor is sent to the data acquisition module for processing, and then sent to the control module for judgment. When the judgment result is that the temperature inside the protective box 1 is too low, the control module sends a control command to make the heating grid plate 9 run until the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches the preset 45°C, so as to control the temperature inside the protective box 1 within a suitable range, which helps to ensure the normal operation of the terminal in a cold environment.

[0036] As an optional implementation, please refer to Figures 1-2The telemetry terminal also includes a MEMS sensor 100, which is located outside the protective box 1 and fixed to the top plate 13. The MEMS sensor 100 is electrically connected to the data acquisition module and control module of the control unit 2. The data acquisition module transmits the collected data from the MEMS sensor to the control module for processing and judgment. When the judgment result is that the terminal is not level, the data is uploaded to the central platform for display through the data transmission module. The central platform then sends tilt information to the management personnel to arrange for personnel to adjust the level on site. Using the MEMS sensor 100 to determine whether the terminal is installed level helps ensure that the terminal operates in a more suitable condition.

[0037] As an optional implementation, waterproof adhesive strips are provided at the seams of the protective box to improve the protection level of the protective box.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
