Abstract

The invention is concerning a system for wireless data transfer from measuring instruments, where the system includes at least two measuring instruments with sensors of their data state, a transmitting unit, a receiving unit and a computer, and where the most substantive is that the transmitting unit (3) is placed in the same building (6) or structure with measurement instruments (1,2) and said transmitting unit (3) having at least two sensors (10,20) of the instruments (1,2) connected to its input and having a wireless connection by its output, connecting it with a distant receiving unit (4), which receiving unit (4) is constructed as a radio- frequency receiver, adjusted to direct connection to the computer (5), or which is constructed as a mobile data converter, adjusted to wireless connection to the computer (5).

Claims

14 AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 13 June 2011 (13.06.2011) CLAIMS
1. System for wireless data transfer from measuring instruments, where the system includes at least two measuring instruments with sensors of their data state, a transmitting unit, a receiving unit and a computer, where the transmitting unit (3) is placed in the same building (6) or structure with measurement instruments (1 ,2) and said transmitting unit (3) having at least two sensors (10,20) of the instruments (1 ,2) connected to its input and having a wireless connection by its output, connecting it with a distant receiving unit (4), which receiving unit (4) is constructed as a radio- frequency receiver, adjusted to direct connection to the computer (5), or which is constructed as a mobile data converter, adjusted to wireless connection to the computer (5), c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n that wireless connection of the distant receiving unit (4) to said computer (5) is adjusted for Bluetooth, GPRS or LAN transmission way and the computer (5) is constructed as a mobile computer of a PDA or MDA type and, consequently, the connection of the distant receiving unit (4), created as a mobile data converter, to said computer (5) is adjusted for a Bluetooth data transmission.
2. System according to claim 1 , c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n that an area of the sensor (10,20) of an instrument (1 ,2) data state and at least a surrounding area of the instrument (1 ,2) is equipped with a magnetic and/or electric shield and, consequently, a mechanical connection of the sensor (10,20) of an instrument (1 ,2) data state to this instrument (1 ,2) is constructed as disassemblable or removable joint, where a sealing member is used, and the transmitting unit (3) is connected to the sensors (10,20) of instruments (1 ,2) by shielded cables (11 ,21 ), the connection of which to said sensors (10,20) of instruments (1 ,2) and to said transmitting unit (3) is made as not removable, from outside. 15
3. System according to claims 1 or 2, characterized in that the sensor (10,20) of instruments (1,2) or the transmitting unit (3) involves an energy storage unit for an activity of those instruments (1 ,2) and transmitting unit (3), and the energy storage unit is made as an electric cell or battery or as a rechargeable electric cell or battery (7).
4. System according to claim 3, characterized in that, in case, where the energy storage unit is created as the rechargeable electric cell or battery (7), the sensor (10,20) of the instrument (1,2) or the transmitting unit (3) is connected to an external source of an electric energy, which source is made in form of small electric generator, built in the measuring instrument having movable parts, or in form of Peltier-cell (8), placed near a thermal energy source, or in form of solar cell, placed on lighted place.
5. System according to claim 4, characterized in that, when using the external source of energy, on principle of a small electric generator, by measuring instrument for metering a medium flow, the sensors (10,20) of the instruments (1,2) or the transmitting unit (3) are equipped by a charging governing block, adjusted for initiating a charging process only when medium flow excesses a value of at least 10% of maximal flow of medium through the measuring instrument (1 ,2).
6. System according to claims 1 to 5, c h a ra c t e r i z e d i n that an electronic transmitting unit (3) is equipped by an alarm unit, adjusted for switching on and emergency state signalling in case of a battery voltage or generator output undergoes certain minimal level.
7. System according to claims 1 to 6, c h a ra ct e ri ze d i n that the transmitting unit (3) and/or sensors (10,20) of the instrument s (1,2) are equipped by a trigger circuit, adjusted for activating a new-mounted measuring instrument (1,2), where this activating is achieved just by the first reaching of a certain flow level indicated by the sensor or by reaching of a certain level of another measured data.
16
8. System according to claims 1 to 7, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n that the sensors (10,20) of instruments (1 ,2) are constructed on principle of reed contacts, activated by a magnetic field, and the switching on of the contacts is carried out as a switching on initiated by rotating a magnet around its own axis, where a magnetic field changes by a change of a gap between a magnetic field source and the contacts are compensated by forming contact outputs for being used as pole shoes, and in the same time, the sensors (10,20) of the instruments (1 ,2) and/or the transmitting unit (3) are adjusted for programming or program changing according to input coded signals, where the input of those coded signals is provided by a mechanical way only, through reed sensor contacts of sensors (10,20) of the instruments (1 ,2).
