RU128813U1 - POWER-SAVING WIRELESS STREET LIGHTING CONTROLLER - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of information collection and remote control of geographically remote objects, such as lamps on poles, as well as other devices in street lighting networks and the subsequent processing of the results obtained as a result of information collection and the issuance of analysis results in the form of graphs, tables and diagrams . The technical result is the saving of electricity in street lighting networks and the provision of automatic control on and off of lamps on poles and lighting lines. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the switching on and off of the lamps is carried out according to the level of natural illumination and the given algorithm, as well as due to the fact that at the specified time the lamps are turned off in the lighting lines through the pole, and also one section of the lamps is turned off when using two or two-lamp fixtures. 2 ill.

Description

The utility model is designed to collect data from geographically distant objects, such as luminaires on poles, and remote control on / off individual luminaires and segments of the luminaire.

By its functional purpose, the closest to the claimed one is the STREET LIGHTING CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RF Patent No. 112572, publication date 10.01.2012), which solves the problem of creating a self-organizing monitoring and control system for street lighting and contains control units, two-way communication functionally interconnected and light sources and integrated into a single information computer network with a control center, which serves to transmit, collect, process, analyze and store information. The control units contain the main components with equipment on the supports of light sources, including subsystems:

management, two-way communication, object monitoring, power supply, equipment operability control and emergency operation. To correlate the illumination, the control units contain auxiliary nodes, to ensure two-way communication of the main nodes with the control center in remote areas, the system contains intermediate nodes. In this case, the equipment of auxiliary or intermediate nodes can be placed on the supports of traffic lights or traffic signs.

The disadvantage of this system is that wireless communication between network devices has a range limit, which makes it necessary to use intermediate nodes for distant objects. In addition, communication is carried out on a principle from node to node. In the event that a node fails to restore communication with nodes with which communication was carried out through this node, both time and network processing software are required.

The disadvantage of this system is the presence at the control room of a radio communication device. If the control center is located in the shadow zone, which happens often, you have to mount the antenna on the mast with lightning protection, which brings additional costs besides the costs of the communication device itself.

The disadvantages include the use of a different set of equipment within the same network, and the need to use auxiliary devices for monitoring movement and coordination of lighting, which must be installed everywhere, which leads to the fact that the introduction and operation of such a system becomes very expensive.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to save energy and resource fixtures and, importantly, reliable continuous monitoring and control of remote objects with minimal cash costs when implementing and saving labor resources during operation.

The advantages of the claimed utility model are also the following features: reliable continuous two-way communication with the control and data processing center without the participation of external devices and without the participation of service personnel is provided, two-way communication allows not only monitoring of remote objects, but also their management.

The above technical result is achieved using an energy-saving wireless street lighting control controller, the structural diagram of which is shown in Figure 1.

The energy-saving wireless control controller (Fig. 1) contains a GSM / GPRS module (1) with an antenna (4), a control unit for two segments of the lamp (3), two channels for controlling external objects (5) connected to the control unit for two segments of the lamp, microprocessor (2), which provides processing of the received information from external objects and control of the GSM / GPRS-module, connected to the GSM / GPRS-module with an antenna for continuous two-way communication with the Control and Data Processing Center via the Internet, the control unit for two lamp segments (3) .

Energy-saving wireless control controller (6) operates as follows. Immediately after turning on the power supply, the energy-saving wireless control controller establishes, through the GPRS and Internet communication channels, a connection with the control and data processing center and maintains this communication channel continuously. At specified intervals, all the information received and processed: the state of the lamp — the lamp is turned on / off or the segments of the lamp — is transmitted to the control and data processing center. In the process, the operator at any time has the opportunity to interrogate all parameters from the energy-saving wireless control controller from the control and data processing center. According to the laid-down algorithm or by a command from the control and data processing center, the energy-saving wireless control controller turns on or off both or one segment of the lamp using external control signals (5), thereby achieving additional savings in both the consumed electricity and the lamp resource.

Figure 2 shows a structural diagram of a metering system, analysis of electricity consumption and street lighting control, organized on the basis of an energy-saving wireless control controller. In remote places where the lamps are located, energy-saving wireless controllers (6) are installed on a lamp post with two lamps (7) or on a post with a two-segment lamp (8). In the control and data processing center there is a computer connected to the Internet with a fixed IP address, equipped with a software product. According to the level of illumination and based on the adopted standards, the time for evening switching on and morning switching off of the lamps is set and the corresponding command is sent to each energy-saving wireless control controller (6). The software product installed in the computer of the control and data processing center provides the operator with the ability to set an algorithm for automatically turning on / off luminaires on lighting lines through a pole, as well as an algorithm for disconnecting one section of luminaires directly on a column to save energy consumption and extend the lamp life. Preset algorithms are transmitted to energy-saving wireless controllers (6), which execute these algorithms automatically.

The operator of the control and data processing center can urgently control the on / off of individual luminaires manually by sending the appropriate command to the controllers (6).
