Description

Intelligent distribution box monitoring system

A distribution box monitoring system, especially a smart distribution box monitoring system with multiple measurement units that can monitor the power consumption of each appliance individually.

The distribution box is a device that integrates switches, circuit breakers, and electrical protection devices in a box to integrate various power circuits in an environment, so that users can uniformly switch each circuit to be on or off through the distribution box In order to achieve the effect of easy switching and unifying the wires without clutter, in each home environment or factory, there will be a distribution box to integrate all the power distribution. With the development of civilization, more and more electrical appliances are used by every household, and the power circuit is more and more complicated. In order to facilitate the arrangement of power distribution, some spaces or factories may be equipped with more than two distribution boxes to solve the increasingly complex wiring. problem. At the same time, the distribution box can also be combined with electrical protection devices, such as the fuse used in the early days, or the more common fuseless switch, which can automatically open the circuit when the power is overloaded to achieve the effect of power protection.

However, the general traditional distribution box only has the functions of integrated power distribution and automatic power off, and cannot provide the total power consumption of each electrical appliance or the entire environment. Therefore, the user does not know how much power the electrical appliance consumes, often until the Only when the electricity bill is found that the power consumption is too high, the user will actively look for the type of electrical appliances that consume too much electricity, so that a lot of electricity is wasted unintentionally. And even if it is known from the electricity bill that the power consumption is too large, it is difficult for users who are not familiar with the power of electrical appliances to quickly find electrical appliances with excessive power consumption based on billing and use experience, so the existing distribution box cannot provide power consumption. data.

In addition, the general traditional distribution box only automatically cuts off the power when the current exceeds the limit, and the electrical power consumption of the electrical appliance under normal use will not increase. Therefore, the reason for the increased electrical consumption is most likely due to the electrical appliance Faults produce short circuits or leakage currents, which increase power consumption. However, the traditional distribution box cannot monitor the changes in the power consumption of electrical appliances. If the user accidentally touches the faulty electrical appliance, it is likely to cause electric shock and even lead to more serious injury.

In order to solve the power consumption situation that the traditional distribution box cannot provide electrical appliances, the present invention proposes an intelligent distribution box monitoring system, which uses the first measurement unit to measure the power consumption of each electrical appliance, so that the user can grasp the status of each electrical appliance when in use Power consumption, thereby achieving power saving and safe power consumption.
