In an embodiment, as shown in
The environment detection unit 202 can detect environmental data. When the environment detection unit 202 is provided at the LED display screen 104, the environment detection unit 202 detects the environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located. The host computer 204 is a chip or a computer with certain software algorithm capabilities, and preset environmental thresholds are stored therein. The host computer 204 can receive the environmental data detected by the environment detection unit 202, and will compare the environmental data with the stored preset environmental threshold. When the environmental data is greater than the preset environmental threshold, the host computer 204 can output a safety instruction, and the safety instruction is used to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104.
The environment detection unit 202 detects the environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located, and the environmental data may be values of environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity of the LED display screen 104 that may affect the operation state of the LED display screen 104. The environment detection unit 202 transmits the detected environmental data to the host computer 204. The host computer 204 receives the environmental data and compares the environmental data with the stored preset environment threshold. If the environmental data is less than or equal to the preset environmental threshold, it indicates that the environment of the LED display screen 104 is safe, and the host computer 204 will not interfere with the operation state of the LED display screen 104. If the environmental data is greater than the preset environmental threshold, it indicates that there are risks in the environment of the LED display screen 104, and the host computer 204 will output a safety instruction to the LED display screen 104 to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104.
In an embodiment, according to the different environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located, there are correspondingly different risk levels. In response to different risk levels, the safety instructions sent by the host computer 204 to the LED display screen 104 include the power-off instruction and the low energy consumption instruction. The power-off instruction is used to control the LED display screen 104 to disconnect from the power supply, and reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104 to zero. The low energy consumption instruction is used to control the LED display screen 104 to switch to a low energy mode, to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104. The workload of the LED display screen 104 in the low-energy mode is not unique, and the LED display screen 104 with different models and usages in the low-power modes may have different workloads.
In this embodiment, the safety protection device 102 for the LED display screen includes an environment detection unit 202 and a host computer 204. The environment detection unit 202 provided at the LED display screen 104 is configured to detect the environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located. The host computer 204 can receive the environmental data, and can reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104 when the environmental data is greater than a preset environmental threshold. The workload of the LED display screen 104 is adjusted when the environmental data is greater than the preset environmental threshold, so that fire and similar accidents can be avoided, and the operation safety of the LED display screen 104 can be ensured as much as possible.
In an embodiment, as shown in
The alarm unit 302 has an alarm function, and can generate alarm information such as sound alarm information, optical alarm information, and vibration alarm information. In an embodiment, the alarm unit 302 is connected to the host computer 204. When the host computer 204 receives the environmental data and compares the environmental data with the stored preset environmental threshold, if the environmental data is greater than the preset environmental threshold, it indicates that there are risks in the environment of the LED display screen 104. In this case, the host computer 204 outputs a safety instruction to the LED display screen 104 to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104. The host computer 204 also outputs an alarm instruction to the alarm unit 302, and the alarm instruction is used to instruct the alarm unit 302 to generate alarm information. After receiving the alarm instruction, the alarm unit 302 generates corresponding alarm information to remind the operation personnel of the abnormal environment of the LED display screen 104.
In an embodiment, the type of the alarm unit 302 is not limited, and the alarm unit 302 may be an audible and visual alarm, a vibration alarm, or an intelligent cloud alarm. By setting the alarm unit 302, the alarm information is sent out when the environmental data is greater than the preset environmental threshold, to promptly remind the operation personnel to pay attention to the LED display screen 104, and take human intervention when necessary, thereby further ensuring the operation safety of the LED display screen 104.
In an embodiment, as shown in
In this embodiment, multi-dimensional environment detection units 202 are set to detect the environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located, to make the obtained environmental data more comprehensive. In an embodiment, the smoke detection module 402 and the temperature and humidity detection module 404 are provided at the LED display screen 104. The smoke detection module 402 can detect the smoke concentration data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located, and the temperature and humidity detection module 404 can detect temperature data and humidity data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located. Both the smoke detection module 402 and the temperature and humidity detection module 404 are connected to the host computer 204, and the host computer 204 receives the smoke concentration data sent by the smoke detection module 402, and receives the temperature data and the humidity data sent by the temperature and humidity detection module 404. Correspondingly, the host computer 204 stores the smoke concentration threshold, the temperature threshold and the humidity threshold. The host computer 204 compares the smoke concentration data with the smoke concentration threshold, the temperature data with the temperature threshold, and the humidity data with the humidity threshold. If the smoke concentration data, temperature data and humidity data are all less than or equal to the corresponding thresholds, it means that the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located is safe, and the host computer 204 will not interfere with the operation state of the LED. In other cases, the host computer 204 will send safety instructions to the LED display screen 104 to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104. Details are illustrated as follows.
Safety instructions include power-off instructions and low energy consumption instructions. When the smoke concentration data is greater than the smoke concentration threshold, the host computer 204 sends a power-off instruction to the LED display screen 104 to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104 to zero. When the temperature data is greater than the temperature threshold and/or the humidity data is greater than the humidity threshold, the host computer 204 sends a low energy consumption instruction to the LED display screen 104 to reduce the workload of the LED display screen 104.
The value of the smoke concentration threshold is not limited, which may be 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, or any value in the range of 1000 ppm to 2000 ppm. The value of the temperature threshold is not limited, which may be 65° C., 75° C., or any value between 65° C. and 75° C. The humidity threshold is not limited, and a humidity of 90% may be taken as the humidity threshold.
In this embodiment, the smoke detection module 402 and the temperature and humidity detection module 404 are used to detect the environmental data of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located, the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located can be detected in multiple dimensions to ensure the safety operation of the LED display screen 104.
In an embodiment, as shown in
The smoke detection module 402 needs the smoke sensor 502 to detect the smoke concentration data. Since the smoke concentration data output by the smoke sensor 502 is in analog format, a converter 504 needs to be connected for converting the smoke concentration data in analog format. The converter 504 will convert the smoke concentration data in the analog format into the smoke concentration data in the digital format, and the host computer 204 will receive the smoke concentration data in the digital format sent by the converter 504. Smoke concentration data in digital format is easy to process and has wide applicability.
In an embodiment, as shown in
When the heating circuit 604 is turned on, the heating wire in the smoke sensor 502 is heated, so that the smoke sensor 502 enters the operation state. The integrating circuit 606 is used to sense the operation state of the smoke sensor 502, obtain the smoke concentration data and transmit it to the converter 504. The converter 504 converts the smoke concentration data, and sends the converted smoke concentration data to the host computer 204 via the output circuit 608. The reset circuit 602 is used to ensure the stable operation of the converter 504, and is used to reset the converter 504 to an initial state.
In an embodiment, as shown in
The heating circuit 604 includes a resistor RM11, a resistor RM15 and a switch tube Q1. The first terminal of the resistor RM11 is connected to the control terminal of the switch tube Q1 and the resistor RM15, and the second terminal of the resistor RM11 is connected to the interface 10 of the converter 504. Both the input terminal of the switch tube Q1 and the resistor RM15 are grounded, and the output terminal of the switching tube Q1 is connected to the smoke sensor 502. The interface 10 of the converter 504 sends out a PWM pulse signal, and the PWM pulse signal is transmitted to the control terminal of the switch tube Q1 via the resistor RM11, to control the switch tube Q1 to be on or off, thereby controlling whether the smoke sensor 502 enters the operation state. When the switch tube Q1 is turned on, the smoke sensor 502 enters the operation state, and when the switch tube Q1 is turned off, the smoke sensor 502 is turned off. In an embodiment, the switching transistor Q1 may be an NMOS transistor.
When the smoke sensor 502 is in the operation state, the switch tube Q1 is turned on, and the heating wire in the smoke sensor 502 is electrically heated. The heating temperature ranges from 200° C. to 300° C. In an embodiment, the smoke sensor 502 may be an MQ-D2 smoke sensor. The MQ-D2 smoke sensor is made of the tin dioxide semiconductor gas-sensitive material, which belongs to the surface ionic N-type semiconductor. Tin dioxide can absorb oxygen in the air, form negative ion adsorption of oxygen, and reduce the electron density in the semiconductor, thereby increasing the resistor value in the MQ-D2 smoke sensor. The MQ-D2 smoke sensor is applied to gas leakage detection in households and factories, and is suitable for the detection of liquefied petroleum gas, benzene, alkanes, alcohol, hydrogen, smoke and other gases. The MQ-D2 smoke sensor has an extremely wide detection range and is highly sensitive to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and other smoke, especially to alkanes smoke. Further, the MQ-D2 smoke sensor has strong anti-interference capabilities and can accurately filter out non-combustible smoke that may be irritating. The MQ-D2 smoke sensor offers stable and reliable operation, with a short response time, good performance for a long time, and a long service life. The driving circuit is simple, and has good repeatability and long-term stability.
The integrating circuit 606 includes a resistor RM12, a capacitor CM2, a resistor RM8, and a capacitor CM3. The first terminal of the resistor RM12, the first terminal of the resistor RM8, and the second terminal of the capacitor CM2 are connected to the smoke sensor 502, and the second terminal of the capacitor CM3 is connected to the second terminal of the resistor RM8 and the interface 7 of the converter 504. The second terminal of the resistor RM12, the first terminal of the capacitor CM2, and the first terminal of the capacitor CM3 are grounded. Via the smoke sensor 502 and the resistor RM12, the voltage VCC (3.3V) is grounded. When the smoke sensor 502 detects that the smoke gas concentration increases, the resistor value of the smoke sensor 502 will decrease, and in this case, the voltage across the resistor RM12 will increase. The voltage data across the resistor RM12 is sent to the interface 7 of the converter 504, and the voltage data represents the smoke concentration data.
The converter 504 converts the received smoke concentration data into corresponding high and low levels. In an embodiment, when the smoke concentration of the environment where the LED display screen 104 is located reaches 1000 ppm, the voltage across the resistor RM12 will reach 1.4V. The converter 504 stores a preset voltage threshold value of 1.4V. When the voltage data received by the converter 504 is less than or equal to 1.4V, the converter 504 will output a low level to the output circuit 608. When the voltage data received by the converter 504 is greater than 1.4V, the converter 504 will output a high level to the output circuit 608.
The output circuit 608 includes a resistor RM2, a resistor RM3, a resistor RM4 and a resistor RM5. Both the first terminal of the resistor RM2 and the first terminal of the resistor RM3 are connected to the interface 18 of the converter 504, and both the first terminal of the resistor RM4 and the first terminal of the resistor RM5 are connected to the interface 17 of the converter 504. The second terminal of the resistor RM3 is connected to the second terminal of the resistor RM4. The output circuit 608 transmits the converted smoke concentration data to the host computer 204 by means of inter-integrated circuit (I2C, two-wire serial bus) communication.
In an embodiment, the smoke detection module 402 further includes a test circuit and an indication circuit 702, and both the test circuit and the indication circuit 702 are connected to the converter 504. As shown in
