Description

Power consumption detection system driven by maintenance mode

This invention relates to a detection system, and in particular to a power consumption detection system.

Power consumption detection systems are widely used in residential and factory environments where electrical devices such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and work machines are installed. By setting up a power consumption detection system, managers can confirm the operating status of electrical devices and take corresponding measures when the power consumption of the device is abnormal, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical devices due to power abnormalities.

However, traditional power consumption monitoring systems mostly rely on managers to actively check, which is inconvenient to use.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a power consumption detection system.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a power consumption detection system is applicable to at least one power-consuming device arranged in a monitoring area, and includes: a trigger device, a power consumption detection device and a security host. The trigger device is connected to the security host and is used to generate a security mode trigger signal regarding the monitoring area. The power consumption detection device is connected to the security host and is used to detect the current power consumption of at least one power-consuming device. The security host is connected to the trigger device and the power consumption detection device, and is used to be triggered by the security mode trigger signal to read the current power consumption of the power consumption detection device.

Through the above structure, the power consumption detection system disclosed in this case can be driven by the security mode trigger signal of the monitoring area to automatically read the current power consumption of the power consumption detection device, so that the user can grasp the current power consumption data, helping the user to effectively use and control the power consumption of the power-consuming devices in the monitoring area.

The following embodiments are to further explain the viewpoints of this invention in detail, but they do not limit the scope of this invention by any viewpoint.

Please refer to Figure 1, which is a block diagram of a power consumption detection system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the power consumption detection system 1 is applicable to at least one power consumption device A1 installed in a monitoring area. For example, the at least one power consumption device A1 installed in the monitoring area may be one or more machines installed in a factory, or may be one or more household appliances installed in a residence. The power consumption detection system 1 includes a trigger device 11, a security host 12, and a power consumption detection device 13, wherein the security host 12 can be connected to the trigger device 11 and the power consumption detection device 13 by wire or wireless means, and the power consumption detection device 13 can be connected to the power consumption device A1 by wire or wireless means.

The trigger device 11 is used to generate a security mode trigger signal for the monitored area. For example, the trigger device may include a reed sensor, a mobile device, or/and a card reader, etc., which can trigger the security mode, wherein the mechanism of triggering the security mode will be described later. The power consumption detection device 13 is used to detect the current power consumption of at least one power-consuming device A1.

Specifically, the security host 12 can compare the current power consumption with the historical power consumption, and output a warning signal when the current power consumption is greater than the historical power consumption and the difference between the current power consumption and the historical power consumption is greater than a preset difference. More specifically, the historical power usage may indicate the power usage measured by the power usage detection device 13 when the user last left the monitoring area, or the historical power usage may indicate the average of the power usage measured by the power usage detection device 13 when the user previously left the monitoring area. The historical power usage may be set by the user on the security host 12, or the security host 12 may store the power usage read from the power usage detection device 13 when the security host 12 previously received the security mode trigger signal as the historical power usage, or store the average of the power usage read from the power usage detection device 13 when the security host 12 previously received the security mode trigger signal as the historical power usage. The default difference may be the historical electricity usage multiplied by a specific ratio, and the specific ratio may be adjusted as needed to set the default difference.
