常見地,插座多可同時連接多種用電裝置,以提供其運作所需之電力,然而連接過多的用電裝置常使得插座過載使用。為解決此種問題,目前部分插座額外地加裝有用以進行電力測量的設備,以防止插座過載狀況的發生。 Commonly, sockets can be connected to multiple electrical devices at the same time to provide the power required for their operation. However, connecting too many electrical devices often overloads the socket. To solve this problem, some sockets are currently additionally equipped with equipment for power measurement to prevent socket overload.
然而,目前這類用以進行電力測量的設備雖然能夠測量插座的供電量,並於插座的供電量過高時停止用電裝置與插座之連結,但使用者並無法即時得知插座供電異常的狀況。也就是說,目前多數用以對插座進行電力測量的設備均無法與使用者端產生連結或由使用者端直接地控制。另一方面,若插座並未發生供電量異常的狀況,使用者僅能親自至插座處控制各個插座孔的關閉或導通。 However, although the current type of equipment for power measurement can measure the power supply of the socket and stop the connection between the electrical device and the socket when the power supply of the socket is too high, the user cannot immediately know that the power supply of the socket is abnormal situation. That is to say, at present, most of the equipment used to measure the power of the socket cannot be connected with the user terminal or directly controlled by the user terminal. On the other hand, if the socket has no abnormal power supply, the user can only go to the socket to control the closing or conduction of each socket hole.

Furthermore, when the control module determines that the overall temperature measured by the temperature monitoring module is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the control module sends a temperature warning signal through the wireless communication module. In addition, when the control module determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module is equal to zero, the control module transmits the lighting control signal to the lighting module through the wireless communication module to turn on the lighting module.

〔插座控制系統的實施例〕 [Example of outlet control system]
本實施例所提供之插座控制系統主要用以監控插座之供電狀況。此種插座設置有複數個插座孔,並透過導線與外部電源連接,以接收並提供電力至複數個插座孔,來讓用電裝置可經由插座孔獲取所運作需的電力。 The socket control system provided in this embodiment is mainly used to monitor the power supply status of the socket. The socket is provided with a plurality of socket holes, and is connected with an external power source through a wire to receive and provide power to the plurality of socket holes, so that the electric device can obtain the power required for operation through the socket holes.
請參照圖1,圖1為根據本發明例示性實施例所繪示之插座控制系統之示意圖。插座控制系統1主要包括電流監測模組10、溫度監測模組12、控制模組14、照明模組16與複數個無線通訊模組18a、18b。如圖1所示,電流監測模組10、溫度監測模組12與照明模組16係設置於插座S上。控制模組14係設置於一電子裝置D上,如智慧型手機、平板電腦…等電子裝置。複數個無線通訊模組18a、18b則是分別地設置於插座S與電子裝置D,用以進行插座S與電子裝置D間的訊號傳輸。 Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a socket control system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The socket control system 1 mainly includes a current monitoring module 10, a temperature monitoring module 12, a control module 14, a lighting module 16, and a plurality of wireless communication modules 18a, 18b. As shown in FIG. 1, the current monitoring module 10, the temperature monitoring module 12 and the lighting module 16 are disposed on the socket S. The control module 14 is installed on an electronic device D, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc. The plurality of wireless communication modules 18a and 18b are respectively disposed in the socket S and the electronic device D, and are used for signal transmission between the socket S and the electronic device D.
一般來說,要判斷插座的使用狀況是否安全,多會觀察插座輸出的整體電流是否超出一安全負荷,以及觀察插座本身在供電過程中整體溫度的上升情況,因此於插座控制系統1中,電流監測模組10監測由插座S上複數個插座孔所輸出之總電流,溫度監測模組12則監測插座S之整體溫度。 In general, to determine whether the use of the socket is safe, it is often observed whether the overall current output by the socket exceeds a safe load, and the overall temperature rise of the socket itself during the power supply process. Therefore, in the socket control system 1, the current The monitoring module 10 monitors the total current output from a plurality of socket holes on the socket S, and the temperature monitoring module 12 monitors the overall temperature of the socket S.
插座控制系統1中的控制模組14則是設置於一電子裝置D,用以接收並判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流是否大於等於總電流門檻值,以及用以接收並判斷溫度監測模組12所測得之整體溫度是否大於等於溫度門檻值。舉例來說,插座控制系統1中的控制 模組14可為安裝於電子裝置D上的應用程式,但本發明於此並不限制。 The control module 14 in the socket control system 1 is set in an electronic device D, used to receive and determine whether the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is greater than or equal to the total current threshold, and to receive and determine the temperature Whether the overall temperature measured by the monitoring module 12 is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold. For example, the control module 14 in the socket control system 1 may be an application program installed on the electronic device D, but the invention is not limited thereto.
承上述,當控制模組14判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流大於等於總電流門檻值時,控制模組14透過無線通訊模組18b發出電流警示訊號。舉例來說,若控制模組14為安裝於電子裝置D上的應用程式,則此電流警示訊號將會顯示於應用程式的操作介面上,此部分將於後續段落進行說明。再者,當控制模組14判斷溫度監測模組12所測得之整體溫度大於等於溫度門檻值時,控制模組14發出一溫度警示訊號。同樣地,若控制模組14為安裝於電子裝置D上的應用程式,則此溫度警示訊號將會顯示於應用程式的操作介面上,此部分亦將於後續段落進行說明。此外,當控制模組14判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流等於零時,控制模組透過無線通訊模組18b傳送照明控制訊號至照明模組19,以導通照明模組。舉例來說,照明模組19可為設置於插座S上的發光元件。當控制模組14判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流等於零時,即表示此時並無用電裝置透過插座孔獲取運作所需的電力。因此,設置於電子裝置D上的控制模組14便透過無線通訊模組18b傳送照明控制訊號至設置於插座S上的照明模組16,使得照明模組16被導通以作為平時的安全照明或緊急照明使用。 According to the above, when the control module 14 determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is greater than or equal to the total current threshold, the control module 14 sends a current warning signal through the wireless communication module 18b. For example, if the control module 14 is an application program installed on the electronic device D, the current warning signal will be displayed on the operation interface of the application program, which will be described in subsequent paragraphs. Furthermore, when the control module 14 determines that the overall temperature measured by the temperature monitoring module 12 is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the control module 14 issues a temperature warning signal. Similarly, if the control module 14 is an application program installed on the electronic device D, the temperature warning signal will be displayed on the operation interface of the application program, and this part will also be described in subsequent paragraphs. In addition, when the control module 14 determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is equal to zero, the control module transmits a lighting control signal to the lighting module 19 through the wireless communication module 18b to turn on the lighting module. For example, the lighting module 19 may be a light-emitting element disposed on the socket S. When the control module 14 determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is equal to zero, it means that there is no electric device at this time obtaining power required for operation through the socket hole. Therefore, the control module 14 provided on the electronic device D transmits the lighting control signal to the lighting module 16 provided on the socket S through the wireless communication module 18b, so that the lighting module 16 is turned on to be used as usual safety lighting or Use for emergency lighting.
另外,於本實施例中,插座S之各個插座孔對應設置有一微動開關(未圖示),且該些微動開關係連接至控制模組14。當一插座被插入插座S之其中一插座孔時,對應之微動開關便會由於開關一次而產生一個短暫的觸發電流。當控制模組14接收到一微動開關所產生之觸發電流時,即代表對應該微動開關的插座孔被使用,於是控制模組14便會發出一通知訊息。若控制模組14為安裝於電子裝置D上的應用程式,則此通知訊息將會顯示於應用程式的操作介面上。 In addition, in this embodiment, each socket hole of the socket S is correspondingly provided with a micro switch (not shown), and the micro switch is connected to the control module 14. When a socket is inserted into one of the socket holes of the socket S, the corresponding micro switch will generate a short trigger current due to the switch once. When the control module 14 receives the trigger current generated by a micro switch, it means that the socket hole corresponding to the micro switch is used, and the control module 14 will issue a notification message. If the control module 14 is an application installed on the electronic device D, the notification message will be displayed on the operation interface of the application.
於本實施例中,插座控制系統1更包括了顯示模組19。顯示模組19設置插握上,如:數字顯示面板,用來顯示電流監測模組10所測得之總電流與溫度監測模組12所測得之整體溫度。如此一來,使用者便能直接地由插座S上的顯示模組19獲知當前插座S之各個插座孔所輸出的總電流是否超過插座S的安全負荷,也能獲知當前之插座S的整體溫度是否由於供電的時間過長而增溫至會影響插座S正常運作的溫度。 In this embodiment, the socket control system 1 further includes a display module 19. The display module 19 is provided with a plug, such as a digital display panel, for displaying the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 and the overall temperature measured by the temperature monitoring module 12. In this way, the user can know directly from the display module 19 on the socket S whether the total current output by each socket hole of the current socket S exceeds the safety load of the socket S, and also can know the current overall temperature of the socket S Whether the temperature is increased to a temperature that will affect the normal operation of the socket S due to the long power supply time.
承上述,於本實施例中,控制模組14為安裝於電子裝置D上的應用程式,故請參照圖2A~圖2D,圖2A~2D為根據本發明例示性實施例所繪示之插座控制系統中控制模組的操作介面之示意圖。 As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the control module 14 is an application program installed on the electronic device D, so please refer to FIGS. 2A-2D, FIGS. 2A-2D are sockets according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of the operating interface of the control module in the control system.
首先,圖2A所示的為插座之使用狀態的操作介面。此操作介面中所顯示的內容主要包括有電流監測模組10所測得之總電流(安培數)、溫度監測模組12所測得之插座S的整體溫度(攝氏度數)、插座S的使用狀態(正常或異常)。此外,此操作介面中所顯示的內容來包括照明模組的使用狀態(關閉或導通),以及各個插座孔的使用狀態(關閉或導通)。 First, FIG. 2A shows the operation interface of the socket in use. The content displayed in this operation interface mainly includes the total current (ampere) measured by the current monitoring module 10, the overall temperature (degrees Celsius) of the socket S measured by the temperature monitoring module 12, and the use of the socket S Status (normal or abnormal). In addition, the content displayed in the operation interface includes the use state (off or on) of the lighting module, and the use state (off or on) of each socket hole.
舉例來說,當控制模組14判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流大於等於總電流門檻值時,根據電流警示訊號,圖2A所示的操作介面上會顯示所測得之總電流,並且會顯示插座S的使用狀態為異常(Abnormal)。另一方面,當控制模組14判斷溫度監測模組12所測得之整體溫度大於等於溫度門檻值時,根據溫度警示訊號,圖2A所示的操作介面上會顯示所測得之整體溫度,並且也會顯示插座S的使用狀態為異常(Abnormal)。當控制模組14判斷電流監測模組10所測得之總電流等於零時,圖2A所示的操作介面上會顯示所測得之總電流為零,且會顯示照明模組16的使用狀態為導通(ON)。 For example, when the control module 14 determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is greater than or equal to the total current threshold, according to the current warning signal, the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A will display the measured total current , And the usage status of socket S will be displayed as Abnormal. On the other hand, when the control module 14 determines that the overall temperature measured by the temperature monitoring module 12 is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, according to the temperature warning signal, the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A will display the measured overall temperature. It also shows that the usage status of the socket S is Abnormal. When the control module 14 determines that the total current measured by the current monitoring module 10 is equal to zero, the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A will display that the measured total current is zero, and the use status of the lighting module 16 will be displayed as Turn on (ON).
此外,如前述,圖2A所示的操作介面上會顯示各個插座孔的使用狀態(關閉或導通)。於本實施例中,使用者能夠自行操作控制 模組14以透過該無線通訊模組18b發出電流控制訊號,來關閉或導通插座S上的至少一插座孔。舉例來說,使用者僅需要於圖2A所示的操作介面上做點選(例如,點選圖2A中插座孔SW_1、插座孔SW_2、插座孔SW_3或插座孔SW_4的圖示),便能夠將插座S上任一插座孔關閉或導通。 In addition, as mentioned above, the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A will display the usage status (closed or turned on) of each socket hole. In this embodiment, the user can operate the control module 14 to send a current control signal through the wireless communication module 18b to close or turn on at least one socket hole on the socket S. For example, the user only needs to click on the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A (for example, click the icon of socket hole SW_1, socket hole SW_2, socket hole SW_3, or socket hole SW_4 in FIG. 2A) to be able to Close or turn on any socket hole on socket S.
此外,透過圖2A所示的操作介面,使用者可選擇將插座S切換至一離家模式(Outside),以使插座S運作於此離家模式。較詳細地來看,於本實施例中,當插座S運作此離家模式時,若插座S出現前述之電流異常或溫度異常的狀況時,前述之電流警示訊號或溫度警示訊號將會顯示於應用程式的操作介面上。另一方面,當插座S並非運作於離家模式時,若插座S出現前述之電流異常或溫度異常的狀況時,照明模組16將被導通(即,照明模組16並非僅用以作為平時的安全照明或緊急照明使用),以警示家中使用者插座S的運作出現異常狀況。此時,家中使用者便能透過顯示模組19了解當前插座S之各個插座孔所輸出的總電流,以及當前之插座S的整體溫度。還須說明的是,當使用者選擇將插座S切換至離家模式時,使用者可以透過圖2B所示的操作介面設定一郵件信箱。於是,當前述之電流警示訊息、溫度警示訊息或通知訊息產生時,該些訊息均會被寄送至使用者所設定的郵件信箱。 In addition, through the operation interface shown in FIG. 2A, the user can choose to switch the socket S to an outside mode (Outside), so that the socket S operates in the away mode. In more detail, in this embodiment, when the socket S operates in the away mode, if the socket S exhibits the aforementioned abnormal current or abnormal temperature condition, the aforementioned current warning signal or temperature warning signal will be displayed at The user interface of the application. On the other hand, when the socket S is not operating in the out-of-home mode, if the socket S exhibits the aforementioned current abnormality or temperature abnormality, the lighting module 16 will be turned on (ie, the lighting module 16 is not only used as a normal Use of safety lighting or emergency lighting) to warn users of the abnormality in the operation of the socket S in the home. At this time, the user at home can understand the total current output by each socket hole of the current socket S and the current overall temperature of the socket S through the display module 19.
