Description

Power supply management system for power socket based on internet of things and method thereof

The invention relates to a power supply management system and a method thereof, in particular to a power supply management system and method thereof based on an electrical outlet of an Internet of Things.

In recent years, with the popularity and flourishing of the Internet of Things (IoT), ordinary objects that can only perform independent functions have network functions, and thus derive various applications.

In general, a conventional power outlet simply provides a plugged connection for the electrical equipment to obtain the required power. If the user wants to control the power outlet, it usually needs to be controlled from the main power switch of the house. For example, turn on the main power switch to power all the power outlets; turn off the main power switch to power off all the power outlets. However, this method cannot control a single power outlet alone, so there is a problem that the power socket has insufficient functionality.

In view of this, there is a technique for a power extension cord with a switch control, which provides a user with the ability to individually control a single power outlet by providing a corresponding physical switch at each power outlet of the power extension cord. However, this method only provides the function of turning on and off the power, and the user needs to operate the physical switch personally, and cannot automatically control according to different preset conditions, for example, when the electricity fee exceeds the limit and the power exceeds the load automatically. The power is turned off, so the problem of insufficient functionality of the power outlet cannot be effectively solved.

In summary, it can be seen that there has been a problem in the prior art that the functionality of the power outlet is insufficient for a long time, and therefore it is necessary to propose an improved technical means to solve this problem.

The invention discloses a power supply management system based on an Internet of Things and a method thereof.

First of all, the present invention discloses a power supply management system for an electrical outlet based on an Internet of Things, the system comprising: a servo terminal and a power socket. In the servo part, it comprises: a receiving module, a computing module and a control module. The receiving module is configured to receive the power state through the Internet of Things; the computing module is configured to detect the power consumption period, and calculate the power consumption corresponding to the power state according to the power state, the power consumption period, and the preset power price message. The control module is configured to transmit the disable signal when the accumulated power usage fee is greater than the preset amount and the power usage state exceeds the load or one of the two. In addition, in the part of the power socket, it comprises: a sensing module, a transmission module and a switch module. The sensing module is configured to continuously sense voltage, current, and power through a sensor disposed in the power socket to generate a power state; the transmission module is electrically connected to the sensing module to be generated through the Internet of Things. The power state is transmitted to the servo end, and the self-servo terminal is allowed to receive the disable signal; the switch module is electrically connected to the transmission module for disabling the power socket to stop supplying power after receiving the disable signal.

Next, the present invention discloses a power supply management method for an electrical outlet based on an Internet of Things, which is applied to an Internet of Things environment having a server and a power socket. The steps include: the power socket continuously senses voltage and current through a sensor disposed therein And power to generate a power state; the power socket transmits the generated power state to the server through the Internet of Things; the server receives the power state through the Internet of Things, and detects the power consumption period, and according to the power state, The electricity time period and the preset electricity price message calculate the electricity consumption fee corresponding to the power consumption state; when the servo terminal accumulates the electricity consumption fee in the preset period is greater than the preset amount and the power consumption state exceeds the load or one of the two, the transmission disables The signal is sent to the corresponding power socket; after receiving the disable signal, the power socket disables the power socket to stop the power supply.

The system and method disclosed in the present invention are different from the prior art in that the present invention continuously senses the power state through the sensor disposed in the power socket, and transmits the power state to the servo terminal through the Internet of Things to make the servo The terminal calculates the power consumption cost of each power outlet according to the power state, the power consumption period and the power price message, and transmits the disable signal to the corresponding power socket when the power consumption exceeds the preset amount or the power exceeds the load. It stops supplying power.

Through the above technical means, the present invention can achieve the technical effect of improving the functionality of the power socket.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, so that the application of the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.

Before describing the power management system and method for the power socket based on the Internet of Things disclosed in the present invention, the environment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The power socket of the present invention has a sensor and a network function, which can pass through The sensor generates a power state, and is connected to the server through the Internet of Things to transmit the power state and receive the disable signal, and then control the power supply mode of the power socket according to the disable signal, for example, continuously supplying power or stopping the power supply.

The power management system and method for the power socket based on the Internet of Things of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings. Please refer to "FIG. 1", "FIG. 1" is the power supply management system for the power socket based on the Internet of Things of the present invention. The system block diagram includes: a server end 110 and a power socket 120. The portion of the server 110 includes a receiving module 111, a computing module 112, and a control module 113. The receiving module 111 is configured to receive the power state from the server 110 through the Internet of Things. In actual implementation, the power state is from each power socket 120, that is, when there is more than one power socket 120, each power socket 120 has a corresponding power state.

The calculation module 112 is configured to detect a power consumption period, and calculate a power consumption fee corresponding to the power usage state according to the power consumption state, the power consumption period, and the preset electricity price message. In actual implementation, the preset electricity price message is a electricity price list provided by the power company. The electricity price list includes electricity tariffs for different electricity consumption periods (ie: electricity consumption costs), for example: electricity consumption period "07:30~22:30" For the peak hours, the electricity usage period "00:00~07:30; 22:30~24:00" is the electricity fee for the peak period and so on. Assuming that the calculation module 112 continues to receive the generated power consumption state, the calculation module 112 records the continuous date and time as the power consumption period, and calculates the power consumption amount in the power consumption state (for example, one kilowatt hour is 1 degree), and then, according to the classification of the electricity consumption period (such as: peak period, off-peak period, half-peak period, etc.), the corresponding electricity consumption fee is calculated. For example, if the power consumption period is "00:00~01:00" and the power stated in the power consumption state is 1,000 watts, the calculation module 112 calculates the power consumption degree as 1 degree, and since it is the off-peak period Therefore, when the electricity fee for the peak period is 2 yuan per kWh, the electricity cost corresponding to this power consumption state will be calculated as NT$2 (2*1=2).

The control module 113 is configured to transmit the disable signal to the server 110 when the power consumption fee accumulated during the preset period is greater than the preset amount and the power state exceeds the load or one of the two. In actual implementation, when the accumulated power consumption during the preset period is not greater than the preset amount and the power consumption state does not exceed the load, an enable signal is generated, so that the switch module 123 receives the enable signal, and enables the switch module 123. The power outlet 120 is configured to restore power. For example, if the default period is "two months" and the default amount is "NT$1,000", then the power outlet 120 will stop supplying power if the electricity cost exceeds NT$1,000 and the power consumption exceeds the load. It is even possible to stop the power supply when one of the aforementioned conditions is satisfied. In addition, the control module 113 may further store the connection parameter value in advance, so that the connection parameter value is loaded before the transmission module 122 transmits the prompt message to establish a connection with the application programming interface (API) of the instant messaging program. The prompt message can be transmitted to the instant messaging program to generate corresponding instant messaging information, wherein the link parameter value includes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the application interface and a token (Token). The default link parameter values can be stored in memory, such as: flash memory, read-only memory, and so on.

Next, in a portion of the power socket 120, the power socket 120 includes a sensing module 121, a transmission module 122, and a switch module 123. The sensing module 121 continuously senses voltage, current, and power through a sensor disposed in the power socket 120 to generate a power state. The sensor is a voltage sensor, a current sensor, a power sensor, or the like for sensing voltage, current, and power. In general, the sensor is disposed inside the power socket 120. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the sensor is disposed at the power socket 120 to generate a power state, regardless of whether the sensor is disposed at the power socket 120. The internal or external aspects of the invention are not deviated from the scope of application of the invention.

The transmission module 122 is electrically connected to the sensing module 121 for transmitting the generated power state to the server terminal 110 through the Internet of Things, and allowing the self-serving terminal 110 to receive the disable signal. In practical implementation, the wireless communication technology of the Internet of Things can be implemented by using, for example, Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, Cos (Constrained Application Protocol), MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), and the like.

The switch module 123 is electrically connected to the transmission module 122 for disabling the power socket 120 to stop supplying power after receiving the disable signal. For example, the power supply device connected to the power socket 120 cannot be electrically connected to the power source to achieve the purpose of stopping the power supply by means of an open circuit (or referred to as an open circuit). In particular, although the present invention is illustrated by an open/open circuit, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any manner in which power supply can be stopped does not deviate from the scope of application of the present invention.

In particular, the power socket 120 can further include a display module 124 electrically connected to the sensing module 121 and the switch module 123 for enabling the display to continuously display the generated when the physical switch is turned on. The electrical state, and when the physical switch is off, disables the display. In addition, when the switch module 123 disables the power socket 120 to stop the power supply, the display may display a preset prompt message, and the prompt message is displayed by one or a combination of characters, symbols and numbers, for example: The electricity bill has been restricted, and the power supply is stopped now. "The power exceeds the load, the power supply is temporarily stopped."

Next, please refer to "Fig. 2", "Fig. 2" is a flow chart of a method for power supply management of an IoT-based power socket according to the present invention, which is applied to an Internet of Things environment having a server 110 and a power outlet 120. The method includes: the power socket 120 continuously senses voltage, current, and power through the sensor disposed therein to generate a power state (step 210); the power socket 120 transmits the generated power state to the server end 110 through the Internet of Things (step 220); the server 110 receives the power state through the Internet of Things, and detects the power consumption period, and calculates the power consumption fee corresponding to the power state according to the power state, the power consumption period, and the preset power price message (step 230). The servo terminal 110 transmits the disable signal to the corresponding power socket 120 when the power consumption fee accumulated during the preset period is greater than the preset amount and the power state exceeds the load or one of the two (step 240); the power socket 120 receives After the disable signal, the power outlet 120 is disabled to stop powering (step 250). Through the above steps, the power consumption state can be continuously sensed through the sensor disposed in the power socket 120, and the power state is transmitted to the server terminal 110 through the Internet of Things, so that the server terminal 110 can be used according to the power state and the power consumption period. The power price message calculates the power consumption fee of each power socket 120 separately, and when the power consumption fee exceeds the preset amount or the power exceeds the load, the disable signal is transmitted to the corresponding power socket 120 to stop the power supply.

In addition, after step 240, the connection parameter value may be pre-stored on the server 110, and before the transmission of the disable signal, the connection parameter value is loaded to establish a connection with the application interface of the instant messaging program, and then the power consumption fee and The power status is used as the instant messaging information transmitted through the instant messaging program (step 241). In this way, in addition to transmitting the disable signal to the power outlet 120, the instant messaging information can also be transmitted by the instant messaging program, so that the user who installs the instant messaging program can immediately read the instant messaging information.

The following description will be made by way of example with reference to "3" and "4". Please refer to "3" and "3" for a schematic diagram of managing a power socket by applying the present invention. In practical implementation, the power outlet 300 has a female plug 310 to provide electrical equipment connections. When the electrical device is connected to the power outlet and the power source is used, the sensor of the power outlet 300 continuously senses the voltage, current, and power to generate a power state, and transmits the power state to the servo terminal 110. At this time, the server 110 can determine the power consumption period according to the transmission date and time of the power state, and calculate the power consumption fee corresponding to the power state according to the power state, the power consumption period, and the preset power price message, and then, The accumulated power consumption during the preset period is greater than the preset amount and the power consumption state exceeds the load. Even if one of the two is satisfied, the server 110 transmits the disable signal to the corresponding power socket 120 to stop the power supply. In this way, the power socket 120 can perform power supply management via the server 110 to improve the functionality of the power socket 120.

In addition, the power socket 120 can be configured as shown in FIG. 3 to provide a physical switch 320 and a display 330. When the physical switch 320 is turned on, the display 330 is enabled to continuously display the generated power state, for example: "Voltage: 110V. Current: 2 mA: Power consumption: 35 W", and when the physical switch 320 is off, the display 330 is disabled. In practical implementation, when the power outlet 120 is disabled to stop power supply, the display 330 can also display a preset prompt message, which is displayed by one of a text, a symbol, and a number or a combination thereof.

As shown in "Fig. 4", "Fig. 4" is a schematic diagram showing the state in which the power socket is monitored by the present invention. In actual implementation, the server 110 may also store the connection parameter value in advance, and load the connection parameter value to establish a connection with the application interface of the instant messaging program before transmitting the disable signal. The link parameter value includes a uniform resource identifier, such as: "https://notify-api.line.me/api/notify" and an authorization token, such as: "HctsOjEpqw69bI6926wu8cXXsH93TckhhxhStMp2Ksd". Then, execute the command: "curl -X POST https://notify-api.line.me/api/notify -H "Authorization: Bearer HctsOjEpqw69bI6926wu8cXXsH93TckhhxhStMp2Ksd" -F "message=[blackout] electricity cost is NT$1,000 The power state is above the load. "" is used to generate corresponding instant messaging information 411 and displayed on the touch screen 410 of the user's mobile device 400. In this way, the user can monitor the status of the power outlet 300 through the instant messaging program.

In addition to the above state of monitoring the power outlet 300 through the instant messaging program, the power outlet 300 can also be as shown in FIG. 4, and after receiving the disable signal, a prompt message is displayed directly on the display 330, such as: "Stop power supply. "." Therefore, the user can directly know the status of the power outlet 300 through the display 330.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the power consumption state is continuously sensed by the sensor disposed in the power socket, and the power state is transmitted to the servo end by the Internet of Things, so that the servo end is used according to the use. The electricity status, the electricity consumption period and its electricity price information respectively calculate the electricity consumption cost of each power outlet, and when the electricity consumption exceeds the preset amount or the electricity exceeds the load, the disable signal is transmitted to the corresponding power outlet to stop the power supply. By means of this technical means, the problems existing in the prior art can be solved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the functionality of the power socket.

While the present invention has been described above in the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
