Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data acquisition technology, specifically to a miniaturized, low-power data acquisition device suitable for field environments such as slope safety monitoring, water conservancy project monitoring, and geological disaster early warning. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of infrastructure construction in my country, slope safety monitoring has received increasing attention. Currently, more and more monitoring equipment is being used in slope safety monitoring, such as deep inclinometers, piezometers, rain gauges, displacement gauges, and stress gauges. These monitoring devices typically share the following characteristics: low power consumption, collecting data once per hour, with each data collection session lasting approximately one minute, and remaining in sleep mode the rest of the time; overall average power consumption is controlled at the milliwatt level. However, due to the lack of built-in mobile communication modules, external DTU (Data Transmission Unit) and other devices are required for data transmission. In practical applications, these monitoring devices usually require additional power supply and transmission equipment such as photovoltaic panels, batteries, and DTUs, and a fixed support frame needs to be installed for this system, thus increasing equipment and construction costs. Statistics show that the cost of supporting equipment and installation often accounts for more than 40% of the total cost of the monitoring system.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, several improvements have emerged in existing technologies. For instance, Chinese patent CN211375364U discloses a multi-channel, multi-type analog sensor access circuit. This circuit employs two ADG1408 multiplexer chips as a multi-channel selection switch and a signal conditioning circuit selection switch, respectively. Sensor channel numbers and types are configured via host computer software, enabling time-division switching and acquisition of various analog sensors. This solution replaces traditional relays with multiplexer chips, effectively reducing circuit complexity and power consumption, and improving system reliability. However, this solution is only designed for analog sensors and is incompatible with monitoring devices using digital interfaces (such as RS485 and TTL). Furthermore, it requires host computer configuration and cannot achieve remote automatic identification and switching, limiting its application in unattended slope monitoring scenarios. Additionally, the multiplexer chip has a limited current throughput, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-current signal transmission.

[0004] In recent years, miniaturized portable data acquisition devices with integrated photovoltaic panels and batteries have emerged on the market, offering both power supply and data transmission capabilities. They are easy to install and deploy quickly. However, due to their small size and limited external interfaces, these devices typically only connect to one type of monitoring equipment and cannot simultaneously support multiple sensors with different interface types. When multiple types of sensors need to be deployed at the monitoring site, multiple acquisition devices are still required, increasing equipment and management costs. Furthermore, existing miniaturized acquisition devices generally suffer from insufficient waterproofing and poor interface sealing, making them prone to malfunction in harsh outdoor environments.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a data acquisition device that is compact, low in power consumption, highly compatible with interfaces, and waterproof and reliable has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following detailed description of the implementation of this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, does not constitute a limitation on this utility model, but is merely an example. Furthermore, the advantages of this utility model will become clearer and easier to understand by explaining them.

[0027] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides a miniaturized, low-power data acquisition device, comprising an acquisition box housing, a circuit board assembly, and a power supply assembly. The acquisition box housing provides housing and protection space for the circuit board assembly and the power supply assembly. The power supply assembly provides operating power to the circuit board assembly. The circuit board assembly connects to external signals through a multi-functional interface hole 6 on the housing.

[0028] The collection box housing includes a frame 1 and an upper cover 3 and a lower cover 4 that cooperate with it. The side of the frame 1 is provided with a power switch hole 5 and a multi-functional interface hole 6. Waterproof rubber rings 2 are provided between the upper cover 3 and the frame 1 and between the lower cover 4 and the frame 1.

[0029] The circuit board assembly is located inside the acquisition box housing and includes a circuit board 8 and an MCU microcontroller 10, an interface switching module, multiple interface modules and a wireless communication module disposed on the circuit board 8. The interface switching module includes multiple sets of MOS switches 11, each set of MOS switches 11 is connected to a corresponding interface module, the control terminal of each set of MOS switches 11 is connected to the MCU microcontroller 10, and the output terminals of each set of MOS switches 11 converge to the multi-functional interface hole 6.

[0030] The power supply components include a photovoltaic panel 7 disposed on the outer surface of the upper cover 3, a battery 9 disposed inside the housing of the acquisition box, and a power module 16. The power module 16 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 7, the battery 9, and the circuit board 8, respectively.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by integrating the data acquisition box housing, circuit board assembly, and power supply assembly into a single structure, the data acquisition device achieves a compact structure and comprehensive functionality. Specifically: the data acquisition box housing uses a frame 1 with an upper cover 3 and a lower cover 4, providing reliable housing and protection for the internal circuit board assembly and power supply assembly; the power switch hole 5 on the side of the frame 1 facilitates user control of the device's power on / off status; the multi-functional interface hole 6 serves as a connection channel between the device and external monitoring equipment, enabling unified signal and power output; waterproof gaskets 2 are installed between the upper cover 3 and the frame 1, and between the lower cover 4 and the frame 1, ensuring the device's waterproof sealing performance in outdoor environments.

Minimal GPIO port usage: Each group of MOS switches requires only one GPIO port, and the three groups of MOS switches only require three GPIO ports to achieve independent control of the three interfaces, effectively saving port resources of the MCU microcontroller 10.
