Electrical standby power saving message collecting system and method

The invention relates to an electrical appliance standby power saving message collecting system and method, in particular to a system which has the functions of power saving control and automatic operation, and transmits and transmits an electric message to record and statistics.

As the development of electronic technology becomes more and more mature, the more various kinds of electrical equipment and equipment are inseparable from people's lives, ranging from TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, printers and other electrical appliances commonly found in homes or offices. Supercomputers, CNCs, MRIs, and other large-scale machines that are common in factory sites are numerous. In order to facilitate the re-use of these electrical appliances, the average user is accustomed to maintaining the standby state when not using these electrical appliances, and does not cut off the circuit between the electrical equipment and the power supply, but such a habit still causes the electrical equipment to consume a little power.

Although the power consumed by each single electrical device in the standby state is not much, the sum of the power consumed by several electrical appliances in the standby state is still considerable, which not only wastes energy but also increases the electricity cost. The energy conservation trend advocated is contrary to the trend.

Therefore, in the prior art, some electrical equipment is equipped with a power-off device for connecting one of the power devices and a power source, including a specific power picker and a comparator. , a timer and a switch. The specific power extractor is configured to set a first reference voltage value, the first reference voltage value corresponding to a power threshold; and the comparator is used by the comparator The first reference voltage value and a second reference voltage value are compared, and the second reference voltage value corresponds to the used power of the electrical device. When the second reference voltage value is less than the first reference voltage value, the timer calculates whether the time exceeds a power-off time. If the time exceeds the power-off time, the switch cuts off between the power terminal and the power source. The electrical connection, in the case of not using the electrical equipment, can reduce the power loss during the standby of the electrical appliance, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

However, considering that some electrical equipment is more efficient in exerting its functions or emphasizing aesthetic settings, the electrical equipment will be placed at a higher or lower position, which makes the user less likely to switch the switch of the power-off device. Therefore, the power-off device has a technology of matching wireless control, and the power-off device includes a wireless control gate device for receiving a wireless control signal and generating a communication number. Or a closing signal; the switch can restore the electrical connection between the power terminal and the power source according to the guiding communication number, and according to the closing signal, the electrical connection between the power terminal and the power source is cut off, thereby not only reducing the energy loss during standby of the electric appliance. Moreover, due to the design of the wireless remote control, the user's convenience in using the device is improved.

In addition, in order to solve the problem that the power-off device is used in conjunction with the standard electrical equipment, since the rated power and standby power of each electrical device are not the same, there may be a problem of misjudgment, and a standby power-saving control with detection and memory functions. The device is designed to not only determine whether it is necessary to perform the standby power saving function, but also function as an overload warning.

The standby power-saving controller controls a circuit to open and close the circuit when a start switch is detected to be operated, and then uses a current detecting unit The current in the power loop is detected and defined as the standby current value. The control unit controls the loop switch to open when the electrical device is not powered on within a predetermined time. During the preset time, if the electrical device is used in operation, the current detecting unit detects the current of the power circuit and defines the current as the starting current value. The standby current value and the boot current value can be memorized in a memory unit as a basis for the standby current value and the boot current value to determine whether to perform the standby power saving function in the future, so as to provide the user with a more intelligent control function. design.

However, as the functions of the power-off devices are more diverse and more efficient, only a small number of people are willing to spend more on budgeting to use such power-saving devices in response to energy-saving trends. There is still no integrated mechanism to improve The willingness of the people to use.

After the electrical device operates in the standby mode for a predetermined time, the control unit controls the circuit switch to open via the driving unit; When the loop switch is open, the control unit detects that the electrical device returns to the power-off period value of the power-on mode, and then generates a power-on message according to the power-off period value and the standby current value, and the standby power-saving controller The generated power saving message is transmitted to the power saving message collecting server via the network port, the client network connection device, the data transmission network, and the server network connection interface.

The memory unit stores the power-on current value and the standby current value. When the circuit is turned off, and the electrical device operates in the power-on mode, the current detecting unit detects that the power source is supplied through the power circuit. The current value to the electrical device is defined as the starting current value; when the circuit opens and closes, and the electrical device operates in the standby mode, the current detecting unit detects that the power is supplied to the power via the power circuit The current value of the electrical device is defined as the standby current value; when the current detecting unit detects that the current of the power circuit is the standby current value, after the preset time period, The drive unit controls the loop switch to open.
