Smart network device

The invention relates to a smart network device, in particular to a network device capable of selecting an operation mode according to a power supply source.

Devices such as routers, switches, or opto-electrical converters are mainly used to transmit multi-network data. Most routers, switches, or optical-to-electrical converters only have the function of transmitting data, and the power requirements of network devices must pass through. The extra configuration of external power (mains) provides not only the trouble of construction, but also the size of the network equipment itself. Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned shortcomings, the new routers, switches or photoelectric converters can directly supply power. Network equipment, and at the same time, an uninterruptible equipment is installed between the network equipment and the external power (city power). Under normal circumstances, external power (city power) directly supplies power to the network equipment to provide network equipment. The power, and at the same time, the action of charging the uninterruptible equipment. When the external power (mains) is abnormal or even loses power, the uninterruptible power supply continues to provide power to maintain the normal operation of the network equipment. However, the router, The switch or optical converter is connected to multiple primary and secondary network devices at the same time, when the primary and secondary networks are set up. At the same time, when the power of the uninterruptible power equipment is consumed, the power supply time of the uninterruptible power equipment is greatly reduced, and the running time of the main network equipment is affected, if the power consumption of the uninterruptible power equipment before the external power supply (mains) has not recovered to the normal power supply When it is exhausted, the main network equipment is down and the data cannot be transmitted seriously, so it is often crippled by users and the industry. Therefore, how to improve the above-mentioned missing problems is the technical difficulty point that the creators of this case want to solve.

The main purpose of the present invention is that it mainly consists of an uninterruptible power device and a network device, wherein the network device includes at least one power input terminal, a control module, a modulation module, and at least one After outputting, the network device mainly supplies the required power through the power obtained from the power input terminal, and detects whether the external power supply terminal is normally powered continuously and whether the power input terminal is normally maintained by the control module. Power is required. When the external power supply terminal is abnormally powered or the power input terminal receives power abnormality, the control module causes the modulation module to turn off the power output of the specific output port by detecting or receiving the signal of the uninterruptible power device. Ensure that the external network devices connected to the rest of the output can continue to receive power to maintain normal operation, while reducing the power consumption of the entire network device, and also extend the power supply time of the battery module.

As can be clearly seen from the figure, it mainly includes: An uninterruptible device 1, the uninterruptible device has a battery module 11; a network device 2, which is a router, a switch or a photoelectric converter, comprising at least one power input terminal 21, a control module The group 22, a modulation module 23 and a plurality of output ports 24, the network device 2 can be electrically connected to the uninterruptible device 1 and the external power supply terminal 3 for the mains by the power input terminal 21, and the like The output port 24 is connected to the external network device 4 each.

Under normal circumstances, the network device 2 can utilize the external power supply terminal 3 to supply the power required by the external network device 4 connected thereto. When the external power supply terminal 3 is abnormal or even stops supplying power, the control module 22 detects the abnormal condition and selects the battery module 11 of the uninterruptible power device 1 to replace the external power supply terminal 3 to continue providing. At the same time, the control module 22 also sends a control signal to the modulation module 23 of the network device 2. When the modulation module 23 receives the control signal from the control module 22, the specific output 埠 24 is turned off. The power output, while the remaining unclosed output 埠24 allows the external network device 4 connected thereto to continue to operate, and the battery module can also be used to reduce the power consumption of the overall external network device 4. The group 11 increases the power supply time; in the above, the power output of the specific output port 24 is selected to be turned off when the battery module 11 of the uninterruptible power device 1 is powered, because the specific output ports 24 are mainly connected to each other. The secondary external network device 4, by which the main external network device 4 must continue to operate and the battery module 11 provides limited power, by turning off the power output of the specific output port 24 (and thus closing the connected The secondary external network device 4) is configured to allow the battery module 11 to supply only the power of the main external network device 4, for example, the output ports 24 are respectively connected to the host computer and the network camera, and are powered by the battery module 11. When the output module 24 connected to the network camera is powered off by the modulation module 23, the main host computer continues to operate, or If the output cameras 24 are respectively connected to the network camera, the network camera that shoots the non-key area is turned off, the network camera that captures the focus area is reserved, and the power output of the specific output port 24 is turned off according to the user's Setting; the control module 22 selects a mechanism for turning off the specific output port 24, which is basically controlled by parameters set in advance, and the parameters can be set by an additionally set operation panel or control button, or through Connect to an external computer, mobile phone, tablet or other smart device to set, of course, the parameters can be written in accordance with the current situation, set and adjust according to the needs of the user, which is not limited by the present invention; The power consumption of the battery module 11 is prevented from being exhausted before the external power supply terminal 3 resumes normal power supply, and can be controlled by the control module 22 to set phased parameters. For example, when the battery module 11 is powered for one hour, the main external network will be After the circuit device 4 is turned off, and the battery module 11 is continuously powered for one hour, another major external network device 4 is turned off. Or the user can set the phased parameters according to the percentage of power remaining in the battery module 11, for example, when the battery module 11 has 70% of power remaining, the main external network device is set. 4 When one is turned off, when the battery module 11 has 50% of power remaining, the other main external network device 4 is turned off, thereby further extending and increasing the power supply time of the battery module 11, although externally The number of continuous operation of the network device 4 is gradually decreased, but does not cause a full stoppage. Therefore, the control module 22 has a function of monitoring the usage time of the battery module 11 and the remaining power, so as to be based on the battery module 11. The current state gradually turns off the power output of the output port 24; and when the external power supply terminal 3 returns to the normal power supply, the control module 22 also senses The control module 22 of the network device sends a control signal to the modulation module 23, and after the modulation module 23 receives the control signal from the control module 22, The power output of the output ports 24 that were previously turned off is then turned on and power is supplied to restore the normal operation of all the external network devices 4, and the external power supply terminal 3 simultaneously charges the battery module 11 to drive the battery module. The power consumed by the group 11 is supplemented to enable the uninterruptible power device 1 to provide power when the next external power supply terminal 3 is abnormal; as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a schematic view of a further embodiment of the present invention is provided by It can be clearly seen that it mainly includes: an uninterruptible power device 1 having a battery module 11 and a signal unit 12, and the uninterruptible device 1 is electrically connected to the mains The external power supply terminal 3; a network device 2, which is a router, a switch or a photoelectric converter, includes at least one power input terminal 21, a control module 22, a modulation module 23, and a plurality of outputs 24, the network device 2 can The power input terminal 21 is electrically connected to the uninterruptible power device 1, and the output ports 24 are respectively connected to the external network device 4. The further embodiment of the present invention is electrically connected only to a power input terminal 21. The electrical device 1 and the external power supply terminal 3 are electrically connected to the uninterruptible power device 1. In the normal case, the external power supply terminal 3 directly supplies the external network device 4 through the uninterruptible power device 1. The power required, and simultaneously charging the battery module 11 of the uninterruptible power device 1, and when the external power supply terminal 3 is abnormal or even stops supplying power, the control module 22 detects the abnormal condition, and The battery module 11 of the uninterruptible power device 1 is directly used to replace the external power supply terminal 3 to continue to supply power. At the same time, when the control module 22 senses that the network device 2 is replaced by the battery module of the uninterruptible device 1 Group 11 is used for power supply, and control module 22 also sends a control signal. The modulation module 23 of the network device 2 is given, after the modulation module 23 receives the control signal of the control module 22, the power output of the specific output port 24 is turned off, and the remaining unclosed output port 24 allows The external network device 4 connected to it continues to operate, thereby allowing the battery module 11 to increase the power supply time. The control module 22 further has the function of monitoring the battery module 11 usage time and remaining power, according to the battery module. The current state of the group 11 gradually turns off the power output of the output port 24; in the above, when the external power supply terminal 3 is abnormal or even stops the power supply, in addition to being sensed by the control module 22, the network device 2 is constantly changed. The battery module 11 of the electric device 1 is used for power supply. As shown in FIG. 4, the signal unit 12 provided by the uninterruptible power device 1 can also be powered by the battery module 11 of the uninterruptible power device 1. When the control module 22 receives the signal, it sends a control signal to the modulation module 23 of the network device 2, so that the modulation module 23 turns off the specific output 埠24.
