Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a functional block diagram of a mechanical equipment monitoring system according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the mechanical equipment monitoring system 1 has a power management device 10, a processing unit 12 and a wireless transmission element 14. The processing unit 12 is respectively coupled to the power management device 10 and the wireless transmission element 14, and the power management device 10 has a first switch unit 100 and a power detection unit 102. The mechanical equipment monitoring system 1 can be used to manage and detect the power consumption state of the mechanical equipment 2, so that the power management device 10 can be coupled to the electric energy storage unit 20 of the mechanical equipment 2. In practice, the mechanical device 2 can be a large-scale machine tool, such as a common truck, a strange hand, a cement grouting machine, or an aerial work vehicle, or a portable tool machine, such as a single-person pile driver or a blower. This embodiment No restrictions here. The electric energy storage unit 20 may be a battery of the mechanical device 2 or a device mainly used for storing electricity. This embodiment does not limit the content composition, electrode material, appearance shape, etc. of the electric energy storage unit 20, as long as the mechanical device 2 is started, it is necessary to use electric energy storage The power supply of the unit 20 should be within the scope of this embodiment.

The power management device 10 is detachably coupled to the power storage unit 20 of a mechanical device 2, which means the power source, battery, or battery of the mechanical device 2. Wherein, the other end of the first switch unit is connected to the processing unit and controlled by the first control signal from the processing unit. When the first control signal is the first power supply path for controlling the first switch unit to turn on the energy storage unit, Then, the mechanical equipment is in the power-on state, and the operator can further start the mechanical equipment, for example, through the key or the switch button. In other words, when the first control signal is to control the first switch unit to cut off the first power supply path of the electric energy storage unit, the mechanical device is in a power-off state, even if the key is inserted or the power button is pressed, the mechanical device cannot be further activated. The following describes the above components in more detail.

The first switch unit 100 in the power management device 10 is detachably coupled to the power storage unit 20 of the mechanical device 2 and is controlled by a first control signal for selectively turning on or off the first power storage unit 20 Power supply path. In practice, since the mechanical device 2 needs to be powered by the electric energy storage unit 20 when it is started, the first switch unit 100 may be connected in series on the first power supply path. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that when a voltage or current path is open and a closed loop cannot be formed, electrical energy is not conductive. Therefore, when the first switching unit 100 can be connected in series to the first power supply path of the electric energy storage unit 20, the mechanical device 2 can be switched between energized and controlled by controlling the ON and OFF of the first switching unit 100 Power off state. The so-called power-on and power-off states refer to whether the mechanical device 2 is in a state to be activated, or whether the mechanical device 2 obtains system power.

Taking the mechanical device 2 as an example of an excavator, if the mechanical device 2 has only one electrical energy storage unit 20, not only can the excavator not start the engine, but also cannot use the system power to turn on the lights, radios, communication devices, or power when the power is off Auxiliary devices, of course, cannot perform more energy-intensive functions, such as digging or moving excavators. If the mechanical device 2 has more than one electric energy storage unit 20, the number of the first switch units 100 may be the same as the number of the electric energy storage units 20, and each first switch unit 100 is in the first power supply path of the corresponding electric energy storage unit 20 In the power off state, you can choose to turn off all or part of the power. For example, you can choose not to start the engine, but you can use a communication device.

The invention does not limit the installation position of the first switch unit 100. Taking the electric energy storage unit 20 as a common battery as an example, the first switch unit 100 can be installed around the electrode of the battery, so that the electric energy storage unit 20 needs to pass the first switch Only unit 100 can be electrically connected to other electrical devices in mechanical device 2. In practice, the first switch unit 100 may be a relay or other suitable electronic switch, which is not limited to being installed in the electric energy storage unit 20 when going out, but may also be installed in the first power supply path of the electric energy storage unit 20 afterwards.

The power detection unit 102 is used to detect the voltage or current of the power storage unit 20 to generate a detection signal accordingly. The purpose of the power detection unit 102 is to detect the power usage state of the power storage unit 20, so as to know whether the mechanical device 2 is activated or operating. In one example, the detection signal may include time and electricity information, for example, it can record that the current value at 11:40 am is 2.5A, the current value at 11:41 is 1.2A, and the current value at 11:42 repeats at 1.5 There are three shocks between A and 2.0A. Although this example demonstrates the recording of hours and minutes, it can actually record the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can freely set the record as needed. The smallest unit of time. The power detection unit 102 and the first switch unit 100 can be integrated and installed in the same housing of the power management device 10, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, there is not necessarily only one power detection unit 102. For example, in order to detect the power usage state of a specific function in the mechanical device 2, multiple power detection units 102 may be installed. In practice, the power detection unit 102 may be a Hall sensor or other element suitable for sensing voltage or current, and those skilled in the art can freely choose it.

The processing unit 12 determines the content of the authorization signal, generates a first control signal accordingly, and records the detection signal. In detail, the processing unit 12 determines whether the content of the authorization signal meets the activation condition of the mechanical device 2, and when the processing unit 12 determines that the content of the authorization signal meets the activation condition, the first control signal is generated, so that the mechanical device 2 is powered on status. In addition, the processing unit 12 can store the detection signal for the subsequent batch to analyze the relationship between the mechanical equipment 2 and the power consumption information at a specific time.

The mechanical equipment monitoring system 1 can use the wireless transmission element 14 to receive the authority signal from the outside. In practice, the permission signal can be sent from the mobile device. For example, when the operator is going to use the mechanical device 2, the mobile device of the operator can be pre-installed with the corresponding application program, and the application program can provide the permission signal. At this time, the wireless transmission element 14 may be a transceiver module used in short-distance transmission technology such as wifi, Bluetooth, zigbee, etc. The reason for using the short-distance transmission technology is that on the one hand, the person operating the mechanical equipment 2 can be controlled as the user of the mobile device On the other hand, it also prevents mobile devices from misrepresenting authority signals to other mechanical equipment.

In a practical example, the content of the authorization signal may be the user information of the operator. The user information may include identity information, licenses for driving corresponding mechanical equipment, attendance status, etc., so that the activation conditions will also be set corresponding to these items. If the identity of the operator is incorrect, for example, the personnel at site A come to site B to use the excavator, the processing unit 12 can determine that the identity of the operator does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical device 2. If the operator does not have the license to drive the corresponding mechanical equipment, for example, the operator does not have an excavator operation license or does not pass the education and training, the processing unit 12 can determine that the driving or operating qualification does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical equipment 2. If the operator's attendance status is abnormal, for example, the operator may work continuously for a certain number of days, which may affect work safety, the processing unit 12 may determine that the attendance status does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical device 2.

In another example, the content of the permission signal may be time information, not necessarily the operator. In practice, the processing unit 12 can preset a period of time during which the mechanical device 2 can be started as the starting condition. As long as the time information contained in the authority signal is not within this allowed period of time, the mechanical device 2 is forced to be in a power-off state. For example, the operation time is late at night, there is a situation that disturbs neighbors or affects industrial safety, and the processing unit 12 may determine that the operation time does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical device 2.

In yet another example, the content of the permission signal may be geographic location information, which does not necessarily concern the operating personnel or time. In practice, the processing unit 12 can preset the geographic location where the mechanical device 2 can be activated as the activation condition. As long as the geographic location information included in the authorization signal is not in an allowed location, the mechanical device 2 is forced to be in a power-off state. For example, the operation position is limited to the range of the construction site A. If the geographic location information contained in the authorization signal exceeds the range of the construction site A, the processing unit 12 can determine that the geographic location does not meet the starting condition of the mechanical device 2.

In yet another example, the content of the permission signal may be environmental information, not necessarily related to the geographic location of the operation. In practice, the processing unit 12 can preset the environmental information that can start the mechanical device 2 as the starting condition, as long as the environmental information included in the authorization signal is not in the allowed wind speed condition or rainfall condition, that is, the mechanical device 2 is forced to be in a power-off state. For example, the wind speed that can be operated at site A is limited to a range of about 40 meters per second. If the environmental information contained in the authorization signal exceeds the wind speed range of site A, processing unit 12 can determine that the environmental information does not comply with the start of mechanical device 2 condition.

In yet another example, the activation condition may include the specified file format, and the processing unit 12 checks whether the authorization signal includes the specified file format. For example, the specified file format may be a common format of images and pictures. Before operating the mechanical equipment 2, a simple inspection of the mechanical equipment 2 parts is often required. The operator may photograph the mechanical equipment 2 parts that have passed the simple inspection to certify or for future reference. Therefore, as long as the permission signal does not include the common format of images and pictures, it can be concluded that the inspection has not been completed, and the processing unit 12 can determine that the lack of the specified file format does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical device 2. Of course, the processing unit 12 can further determine whether there is a mechanical device 2 part in the image or picture through image recognition technology, or can use the uploaded picture and recognize whether the part is normal through AI, and can also ensure the correctness of the inspection. Reduce the probability of accidents.

In another example, the start condition may include a device status signal, and the processing unit 12 checks whether the content of the device status signal meets the start condition of the mechanical device. For example, the related sensors can be used to determine whether the machine is normal. Specifically, the tire pressure detector can be used to detect whether the tire pressure is normal for verification or reference. Accordingly, if the aforementioned detection result does not meet the predetermined setting, the device status signal is not passed, so as long as the device status signal is not passed, it can be concluded that the inspection has not been completed, and the processing unit 12 can determine that the device status signal is not passed Passing does not meet the starting conditions of the mechanical device 2.

The present invention is not limited to the architecture of FIG. 1. Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of a mechanical equipment monitoring system according to another embodiment of the present invention. 2 is the same as FIG. 1 in that the mechanical equipment monitoring system 3 also has a power management device 30, a processing unit 32, and a wireless transmission element 34. The processing unit 32 is also respectively coupled to the power management device 30 and the wireless transmission element 34, and the power management device 30 also has a first switch unit 300 and a power detection unit 302. The power management device 30 may also be coupled to the power storage unit 20 of the mechanical device 2. The above-mentioned same element functions will not be repeated here.

The difference between FIG. 2 and FIG. 1 is that the mechanical equipment monitoring system 3 further includes a remote server 36 and an operation detection unit 38. In one example, the authorization signal can be sent from the remote server 36. For example, when the operator wants to use the mechanical device 2, the remote server 36 can remotely unlock the mechanical device 2, so that the operator is not used to install applications on the mobile device. At this time, the wireless transmission element 34 may be a transceiver module using a long-distance 3G, 4G, or 5G network. The reason for using the long-distance transmission technology is that the remote server 36 is likely to be installed elsewhere, which has a longer The transmission distance of the signal, or use the signal relay station to transfer the signal.

In addition, the operation detection unit 38 is coupled to the processing unit 32. The operation detection unit 38 is used to obtain the operation signal of the mechanical device 2. The processing unit 32 records the detection signal and the operation signal. In practice, the operation detection unit 38 may be a trip computer, or other devices that can be used to record operators such as and operate the mechanical equipment 2, which is not limited in this embodiment. The operation signal can include time and behavior. For example, it can record that the excavator moves forward at 11:40 in the morning, the excavator turns 30 degrees at 11:41, excavates 3 times at 11:42, etc. And minutes, but in fact can also record the year, month, day, hour, minute, second. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can freely set the minimum unit of recording time as needed.

The detection signal is the detection result of the power detection unit 302 detecting the voltage or current of the power storage unit 20. The remote server 36 can calculate, according to the detection signal and the aforementioned operation signal, what kind of operation behavior consumes much power, and thus can generate operation energy consumption information, indicating the correspondence between the operation behavior and the power consumption. According to this, taking an electric truck or large machine as an example, it is easy to manage the energy efficiency of various operation activities of the truck or large machine, and even assist the calculation of the time point of subsequent maintenance according to the number of various operation activities. If the progress of the project is reintegrated, it can be further calculated how many units of energy are needed to complete 1% of the project to facilitate resource management. Of course, the invention is not limited to electromechanical equipment. Taking gasoline or diesel trucks or large-scale equipment as an example, as long as the refueling amount or refueling cost is integrated, the energy use efficiency of various operating behaviors of the truck or large-scale equipment can also be found to benefit Resource management.

It is worth noting that the operation detection unit 38 is not necessarily necessary. When the remote server 36 has established the relationship of operation energy consumption information, in view of the fact that different operation behaviors often have different energy consumption, subsequent detection can only be performed by electrical energy The measuring unit 302 detects the change of the voltage or current of the electric energy storage unit 20, and easily calculates what kind of operation behavior the mechanical device 2 performs, so that the monitoring and management of the mechanical device 2 is more efficient.

The present invention is not limited to the architecture of FIG. 1, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a functional block diagram of a mechanical equipment monitoring system according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between FIG. 3 and FIG. 1 is that the mechanical device 2 further includes an engine module 22 and a functional module 24, and the mechanical device monitoring system 4 further includes a second switch unit 404. The second switch unit 404 is detachably coupled to the functional module 24 of the mechanical device 2 and is controlled by the second control signal to selectively turn on or off the second power supply path of the functional module 24. Therefore, both the first switch unit 400 and the second switch unit 404 are controlled by the processing unit 42 and control the engine module 22 and the function module 24 respectively. In practice, when the mechanical device 2 is an engineering machine, there are probably engine modules 22 for moving and function modules 24 for performing specific functions. This embodiment does not limit the purpose of the function modules 24, for example, function modules 24 can be headlights, air conditioning or communication equipment, can also be a boom, winch and other appliances.

In addition, the processing unit 42 determines the content of the authorization signal to generate the second control signal accordingly. In one example, when the operator has only authority to move or start the mechanical device 2, but cannot use the specific function of the functional module 24, the content of the authorization signal may indicate that only the engine module 22 that provides the mechanical device 2 is operated. After determining the content of the authorization signal, the processing unit 42 generates a first control signal to conduct the first power supply path, so that the engine module 22 is in a power-on state, that is, the engine module 22 is in a state that can be ignited and started by an operator at any time. At the same time, because the content of the authorization signal indicates that the operator cannot start the function module 24, the processing unit 42 further cuts off the second power supply path of the function module 24 by the second control signal, so that the function module 24 of the mechanical device 2 is powered off The state means that the functional module 24 is in a state that cannot be operated by the operator at any time.

Taking the mechanical equipment 2 as a crane truck for example, the crane truck can be roughly divided into two parts, a boom and a truck. In addition, professionals in the technical field should know that the use of cranes (meaning: lifting) must comply with the "one machine, three certificates" standard. One machine and three certificates refer to mobile crane inspection certificate, operator certificate and hanger certificate. However, in the driving state, only the right to drive the truck is required (for example: the operator needs to have a driving license for a large truck or above). Therefore, in this case, it is not necessary to obtain the lifting operation authority. Specifically, the present invention can only provide the engine of the truck to be used by the operator through the content of the authorization signal, so the processing unit 42 generates the first control signal to turn on the power supply path, and the engine module 22 of the truck is in a power-on state, so that the engine module 22 Can be ignited by the operator to start. At the same time, the processing unit 42 generates a second control signal to cut off the power supply path of the crane, and the crane is in a power-off state. This monitoring method helps prevent accidents caused by large mechanical equipment accidentally turning on other components while driving.

The mechanical device monitoring method of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the functional block diagram of FIG. 1. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 together. In step S51, the processing unit 12 determines whether the content of the authorization signal meets the activation condition of the mechanical device 2 to generate the first control signal accordingly. In step S52, when the processing unit 12 determines that the content of the authorization signal meets the activation condition, the first control signal is generated, and the first power supply path of the electrical energy storage unit 20 of the mechanical device 2 is turned on, so that the mechanical device 2 is in the power-on state . In step S53, when the processing unit 12 determines that the content of the authorization signal does not meet the activation condition, the first control signal is not generated, so that the first power supply path of the electrical energy storage unit 20 of the mechanical device 2 is cut off, so that the mechanical device 2 is powered off status.

The following describes another mechanical equipment monitoring method of the present invention in conjunction with the functional block diagram of FIG. 2. Please refer to FIGS. 2 and 5 together. The present invention provides a mechanical equipment monitoring system and method. In step S61, the power detection unit 302 detects the voltage or current of the power storage unit 40 of the mechanical equipment 2 to generate Detect signal. In step S62, the operation detection unit 38 further obtains the operation signal of the mechanical device 2, and the operation signal corresponds to the operation state of the mechanical device 2. Finally, in step S63, the remote server 36 generates operation energy consumption information according to the above detection signal and operation signal. The variations and applications of the mechanical equipment monitoring method of the present invention have been fully described in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

In summary, the mechanical equipment monitoring system and method disclosed in the present invention can help the owner of the mechanical equipment to control the operation authority of the mechanical equipment, avoid misuse or theft by others, and remotely monitor the operation of the mechanical equipment Status, and then understand the progress of the project and predict the service life of mechanical equipment. In short, the mechanical equipment monitoring system and method disclosed in the present invention can help the direct operator or manager of the mechanical equipment to prevent the mechanical equipment from being controlled by the authority to start the mechanical equipment and to monitor the operating status of the mechanical equipment Misuse, being stolen, or delaying the progress of the project due to the replacement of the electrical energy storage unit or the need to repair mechanical equipment. In this way, it is possible to reduce the cost and time of mechanical equipment managers, strengthen the management of mechanical equipment, and monitor the operation process of mechanical equipment, thereby saving manpower and reducing the occurrence of industrial safety incidents.
