The temperature label is except accomplishing temperature survey; Also built-in unique coding of 64; Coding can be used for representing product information; The temperature label sends to outside receiving equipment together with temperature data and 64 s' coding, and outside receiving equipment can be known the product coding of temperature correlation therewith according to coding simultaneously when obtaining temperature value;
2, the mode of operation of low-power consumption
This temperature label provides energy by battery, so the size of power consumption is directly determining the cruising time of product, has adopted following mode to reduce system power dissipation in this patent:
1) selects the variable radio frequency electric unit of emissive power
Power variable can come the emissive porwer of dynamic adjustments signal according to the intensity of signal to mean the temperature label; If it is higher that the external wireless receiving equipment receives the strength ratio of signal; Give this temperature sensor through order with information transmission, then temperature sensor can reduce the emissive power of oneself, and emissive power is directly relevant with working current again; The inner integrated radio-frequency module of Si1000 for example, the emissive power of 1DB then working current is 18mA; Its working current of the emissive power of 13DB is 30mA; The emissive power of 20DB is 85mA; So the reduction of emissive power means reducing of power consumption;
2) data communication method adopts the mode that combines with passive query that initiatively reports
Data initiatively report mechanism for passive query; Passive query means need receive the data that main frame sends; Ability is with data upload, and the signal demand that the wait external unit sends is opened the reception of radio frequency unit, therefore needs the extra electric current of consumption; The data of temperature labeling requirement collection mainly contain temperature value and battery electric quantity; After accomplishing, data acquisition sends the data to outside receiving equipment with the mode that initiatively reports; Can be in this temperature label after data are sent and to be in of short duration wake-up states; Wait for the acknowledgement command that external unit sent, after receiving acknowledgement command, can get into dormant state immediately; If do not receive the acknowledgement command that the external wireless read-write equipment is sent then in official hour, can get into dormant state automatically yet, to avoid because of wait as long for additive decrementation electric current.The temperature label also has multiple parameters to dispose to adopt initiatively to report the advantage of the mode that combines with passive query to be and can when reducing system power dissipation, to make it that working method is flexibly arranged as much as possible as far as possible except temperature and battery electric quantity need be gathered.And the change of working method is by the electric current that can further reduce system.For example: the emissive power of signal, the gap periods of temperature acquisition, temperature value modified value etc., the mode that the employing passive query is set of parameter, the query statement that the temperature label has only in running order just meeting response external equipment to send;
3) the data report cycle of variable period
The user can revise the report cycle of data as required, and the time that data report, shorter then corresponding power consumption was also just high more, thus can satisfy under the prerequisite of system requirements, prolong as far as possible data on call time and reduce power consumption; The temperature acquisition variable period
4) dormancy mechanism in employing cycle
Processor module will get into into dormant state after accomplishing corresponding temperature acquisition and data transmission, only remains with real-time clock work, reduces the power consumption of processor module with this;
5) processor module is closed peripheral circuit when dormancy
The power supply of temperature sensor, the detection of battery electric quantity all are to be controlled by triode; When need not carrying out temperature acquisition with the dump of temperature sensor; Same battery electric quantity module is also cut off its power supply in the time need not carrying out the battery electric quantity collection also by the control of triode type;
3, the variable mode of operation of temperature acquisition cycle and data transmitting period
It periodically can manually be formulated or regulate voluntarily in this patent; When being in automatic adjusting pattern; The temperature acquisition cycle can be adjusted according to the temperature of testee automatically; In the temperature range of safety,, and when detecting temperature value and reach fence coverage, then improve the frequency of its collection with slower frequency collection temperature value; Wherein, the user can be provided with safe temperature range voluntarily;
4, battery electric quantity measuring ability
This patent provides the function of battery voltage detection, the periodic measurement battery voltage value, and this magnitude of voltage sent the data to the external data collecting device with the mode that initiatively reports.External wireless device can in time obtain the battery electric quantity of temperature label to change timely.
The above is merely the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is in order to restriction the utility model, not all within the spirit and principle of the utility model, any modification of being done, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the protection domain of the utility model.
