Description

Cruise-type intelligent gas distribution system and method thereof

The invention relates to a distribution system and a method thereof, in particular to a patrol type intelligent gas distribution system and a method thereof.

The known gas distribution method is the patent case of the "Roller Gas Automatic Transmission Architecture" of the Republic of China New Patent Announcement No. M310291, which is mainly provided with a weight measuring device at the bottom of the barreled gas, and the weight measuring device is further provided with a central portion. The processor and the wireless transmitter, etc., are provided with a dialing host at the front end of the telephone line of the user's home; when the barrel of gas is about to be used, a weight threshold can be measured, and the weighing device can automatically send a wireless signal to dial the user. The host, in order to order gas through the telephone line to the gas line. In this way, it is possible to prevent the gas from being completely exhausted and the supply is not too late, so as to obtain the purpose of allowing the user to use the barreled gas with peace of mind.

The above pre-existing case discloses a method for automatically measuring the weight of the barreled gas, and automatically dialing the gas to the gas line to order the gas according to the measured weight, thereby achieving a situation in which the gas is exhausted and the supply is not available, which is a kind between the general gas line and the user. Delivery Method. However, in this way, each weighing unit needs to be provided with one weighing unit. Each user terminal needs to spend the rental cost of the weighing unit and the network transmission cost between the weighing unit and the management terminal. It is economically profitable and most people cannot accept it; in addition, installing a weighing unit at home takes up space in the home, and From time to time, the weighing unit must be maintained and calibrated so that the weighing unit can measure the correct weight, and it may cost more to correct the cost.

In addition, as for the patent case of the Republic of China Invention Patent Notice No. I294105, "Bucketed Gas Direct Management Distribution System", which includes an information processing center, which is used to collect information from a gas metering device that is used in conjunction with each user. To receive and transmit signals, and to achieve the effect of real-time monitoring and management; and to match the gas metering device applied to each user end, which is used to measure the usage information of the barreled gas of the user end, and to detect The measurement uses the safety information to do the integrated information transmission, and is provided to the upstream gas supply terminal, and then can receive and transmit information through the information processing center and the gas metering device of each user terminal, thereby realizing the instant monitoring and management of each user's barrel. The amount of gas used and the safety information can be used to manage and market directly with each user terminal by the upstream gas supply terminal, and the marketing process of the upstream gas supply terminal can be eliminated, and it is necessary to transfer through the middle and lower layers. It can be sent to each client, and it reaches the marketing mode with downward integration and centralized management.

The above predecessor discloses a marketing mode in which gas is directly distributed and managed to the user terminal by the gas supply end (upstream), which has some problems as follows:

1. Management is not easy: the various divisions of the barreled gas supply chain have fine division of labor, and the nature of the business is different. The original gas line and the sub-package factory are directly excluded, which will make the gas supply end load excessive business volume, and it is not easy to manage.

2. Increased cost: The user has a wide distribution area, and simply performing distribution business through a gas supply terminal will prolong the gas distribution time schedule and increase the labor cost and time cost of distribution.

3. Low service mobility: The downstream manufacturer (gas line) plays a regional service business and can provide temporary emergency services. If the downstream manufacturers are excluded, regional services will not be available, and the service quality of the users will be reduced. .
