Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention, but do not limit the invention to only some, but not all embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a signaling system of the present invention, the system comprising: JM PIN contact, signal processor, elastic mechanism;

in the embodiment of the invention, the signal system is a link and a bridge between intelligent devices in an intelligent home and between the intelligent devices and a power supply, and is responsible for transmitting power resources provided by the power supply to the intelligent devices so that the intelligent devices can work normally, and has the function of transmitting communication signals between the intelligent devices, generally, the signal system is a front-mounted device in the installation process of the intelligent home, in popular terms, during the construction and construction period of a house, the installation is completed, and when the signal system is finally delivered to a user, only a cassette is left at the installation position, only a contact of a JM PIN is visible to the cassette, after the intelligent devices are finally installed successfully, the corresponding contact of the JM PIN of the intelligent devices corresponding to the cassette position is connected with the contact of the JM PIN in the cassette, only the front end of the intelligent devices visible to the indoor is invisible to the cassette and the contact of the JM PIN at the rear end, this has also guaranteed the aesthetic property of intelligent house.

A JM PIN contact in the signal system is respectively connected with the signal processor and the elastic mechanism and is used for transmitting signals; the JMPIN contact includes: a commissioning contact and a backup contact; the commissioning contact is a contact to be connected to a JM PIN contact of the smart device, and the contacts include a contact for transmitting a communication signal and a contact for transmitting power of a power source. The spare contact is a contact which is not connected with a JMPIN contact of the intelligent equipment, the spare contact is a spare contact of the commissioning contact, and when a fault contact exists in the commissioning contact and the commissioning contact cannot work normally, the spare contact replaces the commissioning contact to work, as shown in a schematic diagram of a JM PIN contact in figure 1, the contacts 1 and 2 are power contacts in the commissioning contact and are used for transmitting power, and the contacts 3, 4 and 5 are communication contacts and are used for transmitting communication signals; contacts 6, 7, 8 are spare contacts for contacts 3, 4, 5, and contacts 9, 10 are spare contacts for contacts 1, 2.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the reliability and durability of the signal system, a manner that a plurality of spare contacts correspond to one commissioning contact is adopted in the design, for example: the power contacts 1 and 2 are commissioning contacts, spare contacts thereof are 9 and 10, in case of not considering physical area, contacts 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 (limited to the size not shown in fig. 1) and the like can be designed to be spare contacts of the power contacts 1 and 2, similarly, communication contacts are also designed, and in combination with actual physical area overhead, physical area overhead of intelligent equipment, service condition of JM PIN contacts and reliability and durability of a signal system, the inventor carries out a large number of simulation tests and actual tests, finally determines the optimal scheme to design 50 JM PIN contacts in one JM PIN contact, and the rest are corresponding spare contacts except commissioning contacts, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the signal system.

The signal processor includes: the on-off detection module is used for processing signals to determine whether the application contact is in fault; the control module is used for generating a control instruction according to the condition that whether the commissioning contact has a fault or not, and the control instruction carries the identification of the fault contact and the identification of the spare contact corresponding to the fault contact. In the process of transmitting power and communication signals of the JM PIN contact, the signal processor utilizes the on-off detection module to process the JM PIN contact simultaneously, the signal on-off detection submodule in the on-off detection module judges whether a fault contact exists in the commissioning contact, the fault contact cannot work normally, and after the fact that the fault contact exists is determined, the mark of the fault contact is sent to the control module. After receiving the identifier of the faulty contact, the control module generates a control command according to the identifier of the faulty contact and a commissioning-backup contact relation table, where the commissioning-backup contact relation table is a correspondence table between commissioning contacts and backup contacts, and generally uses their respective identifiers for correspondence, for example: the identifier of the power contact 1 is 1, and the identifiers of the corresponding spare contacts are respectively 9, 11, 13, 15, etc., so that the corresponding relation table exists in the relation table, the control module determines the identifier of the spare contact according to the table to generate a control instruction, and then the control instruction is respectively sent to the opening module and the closing module.

The opening module and the closing module are arranged in the elastic mechanism, and the opening module is used for opening the standby contact corresponding to the fault contact according to the control instruction; and the closing module is used for closing the fault contact according to the control instruction. The elastic mechanism can be an electromagnetic spring and can accurately control each JM PIN contact, after the closing module receives a control command, the corresponding contact is contracted according to the identification of the fault contact in the control command to be disconnected with the intelligent equipment, and after the opening module receives the control command, the corresponding contact is released according to the identification of the standby contact in the control command to be contacted with the intelligent equipment to start working. For example: the power contact 1 is a fault contact, the control instruction can carry the marks 1 and 9, the control instruction sent by the opening module carries the mark 9, the control instruction sent by the closing module carries the mark 1, the opening module controls the electromagnetic spring to release the standby contact 9 of the mark 9, the standby contact 9 is connected with the intelligent device to supply power to the intelligent device, the closing module controls the electromagnetic spring to contract the power contact 1 of the mark 1, and the power contact 1 is disconnected from the intelligent device.

It can be understood that, since a plurality of backup contacts correspond to one commissioning contact, in the case where a first backup contact replaces a faulty contact to transmit a signal and the first backup contact fails, the first backup contact may be closed and a second backup contact may be opened so that the second backup contact replaces the faulty contact to transmit a signal, and the first backup contact and the second backup contact both correspond to the same commissioning contact. For example: if the backup contact 9 has failed after a certain period of time, the backup contact 11 is released in the manner described above, and the backup contact 9 continues to operate, and similarly, if the backup contact 11 has failed, the backup contact 13 is released, and so on.

In this way, both realized the detection whether to break down to JM PIN contact, still realized simultaneously under the condition of breaking down again, automatic switch-over spare contact, signal system's reliability has been guaranteed, the durability, and saved power cord or signal line damage and need repurchase among the traditional smart machine, the process of change, even saved and needed professional technical staff to go to the door to detect, the maintenance, to a great extent has saved user's use cost, professional technical staff also need not frequent the running of going to the door again, professional technical staff's work efficiency has also been promoted indirectly.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for switching a contact, and referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of the method for switching a contact according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to a signal processor in the signal system described above, and the method for switching a contact includes:

step 101: and collecting signals of the application contacts.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the commissioning contact works, the signal processor firstly collects the signal of the commissioning contact, and it should be noted that after the intelligent device is used for a period of time, the initial commissioning contact may be switched to the corresponding spare contact due to a fault, and when the intelligent device works normally, the spare contact replaces the original commissioning contact to work, and at this time, the spare contact is the latest commissioning contact.

Step 102: and determining whether there is a faulty contact among the commissioned contacts according to the signal.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the signals of the commissioning contact are collected, the signal processor detects whether a fault contact exists in the commissioning contact according to the signals. For example: the fault of the power contact 1 can be determined when no current flows in the power contact 1, no voltage exists, or the voltage does not meet the power supply voltage of the intelligent device. It is understood that the determination of the contact fault can be implemented by using the existing technology, and the comparison is not specifically described.

Step 103: in the case where it is determined that there is a defective contact among the commissioning contacts, a control command is generated and sent to the elastic mechanism so that the elastic mechanism switches the contacts.

In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that a fault contact in the commissioning contacts is determined, a control command is generated according to the identifier of the fault contact and the commissioning-spare contact relation table and is sent to the elastic mechanism, and the control command carries the identifier of the fault contact and the identifier of the spare contact corresponding to the fault contact. Specifically, the signal processor sends an identifier of a fault contact to a closing module in the elastic mechanism, so that the closing module controls the fault contact to close, namely, the contact with the intelligent device is disconnected; the signal processor simultaneously sends the identification of the spare contact corresponding to the fault contact to the opening module in the elastic mechanism, so that the opening module controls the opening of the spare contact corresponding to the fault contact, namely, the spare contact is connected with the intelligent device, and the spare contact can work instead of the fault contact.

In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, because the signal processor and the elastic structure are invisible after being installed, in order to ensure the reliability and the durability of the signal processor, the signal processor and the elastic structure are both made of novel fusion metal materials, the signal processor has light weight and is reliable and durable, and the signal processor is provided with an algorithm specially used for detecting the connection and disconnection of contacts and a switching contact algorithm for controlling the release and the contraction of the elastic structure, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the whole signal system.

In addition, it should be noted that the signal system of the embodiment of the present invention may also be expanded, and may be used in combination with a cloud platform, and the acquired signal is directly sent to the cloud platform, so that the cloud platform may further enhance the large computing capability to dynamically detect whether a contact fails, and in a case where it is determined that the contact fails, a control instruction is generated and sent to the signal system, and the signal system performs contact switching, so that the computation amount of the signal system may be reduced, the reliability and durability of the signal system may be further ensured, and the service life of the signal system may be prolonged to a certain extent.
