Description

Remote monitoring power billing control device

The invention relates to a control device for electrical equipment, in particular to a remote monitoring power billing control device.

Traditional electrical equipment is controlled by the user at the user end by means of switches/remote controllers/sensors, etc. Although this traditional method meets the purpose of self-control by the user, it cannot achieve effective control in some occasions. For example, in staff dormitories, school dormitories, collective housing and other places, due to the large number of users, and the electricity consumption habits of each user are different, it has to be controlled uniformly.

In order to effectively control the power consumption of electrical equipment in places such as staff dormitories, school dormitories, collective housing, etc., some operators have developed a stored-value card type to control electrical equipment. However, in this type of technology, it is necessary to install a card reading device in each electricity user, so that the user can insert the stored-value card into the card reading device, so that the user can use the electrical equipment. The operation of card reading is relatively inconvenient, and users must carry a card with them, and the user, password, and pre-stored value in the card are often stolen, recorded, altered, forged, cracked, etc. The practicability, security, simplicity, and product acceptance of such systems are greatly reduced.

In addition, various power consumption conditions (such as actual power consumption value, cumulative power consumption value, voltage and current value, power consumption status, power consumption parameters, control, billing, etc.) of electrical equipment at each user end cannot be effectively controlled.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote monitoring power billing control device, in order to provide a control device that can remotely monitor power billing and control remote electrical equipment.

After the data collector transmits the actual power consumption value of each user calculated by each power controller to the remote server, the remote server receives the actual power consumption value of each user and compares it to the respective predicted value. When the power value is stored, a control signal is generated and sent to the corresponding power controller, and the power controller cuts off the power supplied to the electrical equipment corresponding to the user end.

Wherein, the data transmission network is one of Internet, telephone line and wireless network. The power controller includes: a circuit switch, connected in series to the power circuit between the power supply and the electrical equipment; a drive unit, connected to the circuit switch, to control the circuit switch to open or close; a voltage detection unit , connected to the power supply to detect the voltage value of the power supply; a current detection unit connected to the power supply circuit to detect the current value passing through the power supply circuit; a control unit connected to the drive unit, The voltage detection unit, the current detection unit, the user end network connector, the control unit calculates the actual power consumption value according to the voltage value and the current value, and receives the remote server sent The control signal is used to drive the drive unit to control the closing/opening of the loop switch.

In another embodiment of the present invention, at least one power controller is configured in at least one user terminal to measure the actual power consumption value of electrical equipment in the user terminal; at least one data collector is connected to the power controller The device is connected to an Internet; a remote server is connected to the Internet through a server network connector. After the data collector sends the actual power consumption value calculated by the power controller to the remote server, when the remote server receives the actual power consumption value and compares it to a pre-stored power consumption value, it generates a The control signal is sent to the power controller, and the power controller cuts off the power supplied to the electrical equipment at the user end.

In terms of effects, the present invention effectively overcomes the disadvantages of traditionally using local cards to control electrical equipment, and enables managers and/or users to more conveniently store values in pre-stored values, remote login methods or background management methods, effectively Remote power or time control for various application places (such as staff dormitories, school dormitories, collective housing and other places that require time/power control). In addition, the power consumption status of electrical equipment at each user end (such as actual power consumption value, accumulated power consumption value, voltage and current value, power consumption status, power consumption parameters, control, billing, etc. can be monitored remotely, Management and control provide a smart remote monitoring power billing control system.
