Backup Power Supply Position Tracking for Disaster-Ready Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional power supply device management systems fail to appropriately manage power supply devices due to the inability to grasp the position and status of the devices, especially when they are installed outdoors or moved due to disasters, leading to difficulties in maintenance and replacement.
Innovation Solution
A power supply device management system that includes a power supply side acquisition unit to acquire and transmit information related to the position, posture, and changes in the installation position and posture of the power supply device via a communication network, allowing the server to monitor and manage the device effectively, even during power outages or disasters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional power supply device management systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the ability to grasp position and status information is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply device autonomously acquires and transmits its own position and status information without requiring external monitoring equipment. The device self-manages information collection about its operational state and location, eliminating the need for complex external monitoring systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device continuously transmits status information and position data back to the management system. This feedback mechanism enables real-time monitoring of device health, location changes, and operational state, allowing the system to respond to device conditions dynamically.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the power supply device is installed outdoors or moved due to disasters, then the device can be deployed flexibly, but the ability to track and manage its position is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual position tracking methods with automatic electronic position detection and communication systems. The power supply device uses electronic sensors and communication modules to automatically report its position, eliminating the need for physical tracking or manual recording of device locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device integrates multiple functions including power supply, position detection, status monitoring, and wireless communication into a single unit. This multi-functional design allows the device to maintain position tracking capability regardless of its installation location or movement status, whether permanently installed or temporarily deployed.
3Device complexity
If the power supply device monitors only deterioration state, then the monitoring function is simple, but malfunctions caused by position changes cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system transitions from static deterioration monitoring to dynamic multi-parameter monitoring. The device continuously monitors not only battery deterioration but also real-time position changes, operational status, and environmental conditions, enabling detection of malfunctions caused by movement or relocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device continuously monitors its status and position information in advance, detecting potential issues before they become critical failures. By proactively tracking position changes and status parameters, the system can identify and alert operators to problems before they cause complete device failure or malfunction.
