DESC:Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to an electrical adapter for managing operation of an electrical device.

Background

In certain environments, such as manufacturing units, a plurality of heavy machines is implemented to execute the operations for producing end products. The heavy machines are typically connected to an electricity source using a corresponding electrical adapter for supporting their operation. Such electrical adapters are limited in that they do not provide for intelligence related to the operation of the corresponding heavy machinery. The electrical adapter only supports the operation of corresponding heavy machinery and provides only for mechanical protection measures against operational faults.

In scenarios where a fault in respect of electricity supply occurs, such electrical adapters are provisioned with mechanical arrangements to cut-off supply of electricity. However, a user, for example, an administrator does not get any information about the whereabouts of the fault. That is, the location and other information, for example, nature of the fault remains unknown. Owing to the absence of information about the whereabouts of the fault, fault identification and resolution thereof remains a problem. Furthermore, the conventional electrical adapters do not provide for any pre-emptive intelligence regarding malfunctioning of an electrical device. Accordingly, the possibility of implementing pre-emptive corrective measures is foreclosed.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved electrical adapter to address at least one of the aforementioned deficiencies.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 illustrates an environment implementing an electrical adapter, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the environment comprises a plurality of electrical devices 102-1 to 102-N drawing electricity from an electricity source 100 using a plurality of electrical adapters 104-1 to 104-N. In an example, the electricity source 100 may be one of a single-phase electricity source or a three-phase electricity source.

Examples of the electrical device/appliance 102 may include but are not limited to, heavy machinery. Herein, the term heavy machinery may be understood as machines employed in manufacturing industries or any other equivalent industry. However, the aspects of the present disclosure may be suitably adapted for implementation in other electrical devices, such as a Television (TV), a laptop, an Air Conditioner (AC), a washing machine, a microwave, a refrigerator, a motor-based product, and the like.

In an example, the electrical adapter 104 may include a plurality of pins for connecting the electrical adapter 104 to an electrical socket that is connected to an electricity supply line. Furthermore, the electrical adapter 104 may include a plurality of sockets configured to accept a plurality of pins of the electrical device 102. More particularly, the sockets accept or accommodate the plurality of pins of a wire extending from the electrical device 102. Furthermore, in an example embodiment, each of the electrical adapters 104 may include an electrical parameter recorder, a wireless communicator, a relay, and a controller. Constructional details of the electrical adapter 104 are described later in reference to Figs. 2.

As is shown in the figure, each of the electrical adapters 104 may be communicatively coupled to a central station 106 using the wireless communicator. Examples of the wireless communicator may include but are not limited to, a ZigBee/Wi-Fi transceiver. Examples of the central station 106 may include but are not limited to, a workstation server, an analytics server, a cloud server, a desktop computer, a workstation computer, a thin client, a laptop, a personal digital assistant, a smartphone, a tablet, and the like. In an example, the electrical adapters 104 may be communicatively coupled to the central station 106 using a gateway (not shown in the figure). In another example, the connection between the electrical adapters 104 and the central station 106 may be a direct connection.

As is further shown, the electrical adapter 104 may be wirelessly connected to a User Equipment (UE) 108. Without limitation, examples of the UE 108 may include a Smartphone, a Smartwatch, a Tablet, a Laptop, a desktop computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like. In an example embodiment, the UE 108 may be provided at a remote location. In the said example embodiment, the wireless network communicator 206 may be connected to the UE 108 through the Internet.

In an example embodiment, where the plurality of electrical devices 102 are of the same type, each of the plurality of electrical adapters 104 is configured to record waveform data associated with a corresponding electrical device 102 coupled to the electrical adapter 104. In an example, the waveform data includes a plurality of values of at least one electrical parameter associated with electricity provided to the electrical device 102 from the mains supply, i.e., the electricity source 100, during a first operation session. Examples of the at least one electrical parameter may include but are not limited to, electrical current, electrical voltage, and electrical power. In an example, the wireless network communicator of the electrical adapter 104 may facilitate communication between the electrical adapter 104 and the central station 106. In said example, the electrical adapter 104 may be configured to transmit the waveform data to the central station 106.

In an example embodiment, the central station 106 may be configured to receive the waveform data from each of the plurality of electrical adapters 104 during the first operation session. In the said example embodiment, the central station 106 may be configured to generate device-waveform data based on the received waveform data. In an example, the device-waveform data includes information associated with a healthy waveform and an acceptable waveform deviation limit.

In a non-limiting example, the term healthy waveform may be understood as a waveform depicting an average of the plurality of waveforms associated with the electrical parameter, as determined based on the waveform data received from the electrical adapters 104 during the first session. In an example, the central station 106 may implement one or more of predetermined techniques for mixing, matching, and analyzing the plurality of waveforms received from the plurality of electrical adapters 104. Accordingly, using the one or more aforementioned predetermined techniques, the central station 106 determines the healthy waveform associated with the electrical parameter. Furthermore, the central station 106 may be configured to determine the acceptable waveform deviation limit based on the healthy waveform. In an example, for a given reference point taken on the healthy waveform when being compared to a corresponding point on a candidate waveform, the acceptable waveform deviation limit may be x%. In an example, the value of x may be dependent on the electrical device 102.

The healthy waveform and the acceptable waveform deviation limit, thus determined, may be stored as the device-waveform data. In an example, the central station 106 may be configured to transmit the device-waveform data to each of the electrical adapters 104. In an example, the electrical adapter 104 may receive and store the device-waveform data in an internal storage device.

In an example, the electrical adapter 104 may be configured to determine the health of the electrical device 102. To that end, the electrical adapter 104 may be configured to generate a real-time waveform based on the recorded waveform data and determine, in real-time during the first operation session, whether the real-time waveform is within the acceptable waveform deviation limit from the healthy waveform.

In an example, where a difference between the real-time waveform and the healthy waveform is determined to be greater than the acceptable waveform deviation limit, the electrical adapter 104 may be configured to transmit an alert message to the UE 108 through the wireless network communicator. The alert message, in an example, may include a notification that the health of the electrical device 102 is unhealthy, thereby signifying it may be nearing malfunctioning. In another example, it may signify the un-optimized consumption of electricity. Upon receiving the alert message, the user of the UE 108 may take the necessary action concerning the electrical device 102. For example, the user may replace the electrical device or may get one or more components thereof replaced.
In another example, where the difference between the real-time waveform and the healthy waveform is determined to be less than the acceptable waveform deviation limit, the electrical adapter 104 may be configured to transmit device health data to the UE 108 through the wireless network communicator. The device health data may include information about the efficiency of operation of the electrical device 102, and other such information related to the operation of the electrical device 102.

In an example, the comparison may be made periodically, after a predetermined interval. Thus, the user may get periodic updates associated with the health of the electrical device 102. Accordingly, the user may take pre-emptive measures, such as replacing components of the electrical device 102, replacing the electrical device 102, etc.

As is mentioned above, the aspects of the present disclosure are implemented in real-time. In other words, the aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented during a current ongoing operation session of the electrical devices 102. Take for instance an example where the aspects are implemented in a manufacturing plant comprising heavy machineries (electrical devices 102). Herein, the aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented during an ongoing operation session of operation of the heavy machineries, i.e., in real-time.

In the above example, the electrical adapters 104 connected to the heavy machineries may transmit operation data corresponding to the heavy machineries to the central station 106 in real-time. The central station 106 then determines the device waveform data and transmits the same to each of the electrical adapters 104 in real-time. Subsequently, each of the electrical adapters 104 are then able to determine the health of the corresponding machinery, in real-time. By performing the comparison in real-time, any anomaly if present may be detected by the electrical adapter 104 in real-time. Accordingly, preemptive corrective measures may be taken by a user, such as an administrator, to prevent, avoid, or mitigate the possibility of any future faults developing in the heavy machinery.

Fig. 2 illustrates a block diagram depicting various components of the electrical adapter 104, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an example embodiment, the electrical adapter 104 may include a controller 202, at least one Electrical Parameter Recorder (EPR) 204, a wireless communication unit 206, a relay driver 208, a relay 210, and data 212. In an example, the EPR 204, the wireless communication unit 206, the relay driver 208, the relay 210, and the data 212 may be coupled to the controller 202.

In an example, the controller 202 may include at least one processor or microprocessor, or may be a part of the processor. In an example, the EPR 204 may be understood as an electrical device for measuring/storing the at least one electrical parameter. As an example, for measuring the electrical current, the electrical adapter 104 may include a current measuring and storing element as the EPR 204. As may be understood, more than one EPR 204 may be present in the electrical adapter 104 for measuring different types of electrical parameters. In an example, the EPR 204 may be configured to record waveform data associated with an operation of the electrical device in a storage of the electrical adapter 104. The recorded waveform data may be stored in data 212.

In an example, the wireless communication unit 206 may be a ZigBee/WiFi transceiver. As may be understood, other example types of wireless communication unit may also be implemented in the electrical adapter 104. In an example, the wireless communication unit 206 may be configured to wirelessly send and receive communication messages to/from one or more of the UE 108 and the central station 106. In an example, the wireless communication unit 206 may be configured to receive the device-waveform data transmitted by the central station 106. This device-waveform data, in an example, may be stored in the data 212.

In an example, the controller 202 may be coupled to the relay 210 through the relay driver 208. Accordingly, using the relay driver 208, the controller 202 controls the operation of the relay 210. In an example, the relay 210 may be connected to an electricity source, and a Load, depicted by the electrical device 102. Herein, the Load may be of 6A. Without limitation, the Load may be of any suitable rating and the components of the electrical adapter 104 may be designed accordingly.

In a further example, the electrical adapter 104 may include one or more LED indicators, such as LED lights (not shown). In said example, the controller 202 may be configured to control the operation of the one or more of the LED indicators to indicate an operation state of the electrical adapter 104. Furthermore, the controller 202 may also be coupled with a user interface, for example, one or more keys for human interface, or buttons. Herein, the controller 202 may be configured to receive a user input(s) and perform predefined operation associated with the user input.

In an example embodiment, the EPR 204 may be configured to record waveform data associated with the electrical device 102 coupled to the electrical adapter 104. In an example, the waveform data includes a plurality of values of at least one electrical parameter associated with electricity provided to the electrical device 102 from a mains supply during a first operation session. Examples of the at least one electrical parameter is one of electric current, electric voltage, and electric power.

As is mentioned above, the controller 202 is coupled to the EPR 204. In an example embodiment, the controller 202 may be configured to generate a real-time waveform based on the recorded waveform data. Furthermore, the controller 202 may be configured to determine, in real-time during the first operation session, whether the real-time waveform is within an acceptable waveform deviation limit from a healthy waveform. In an example, the healthy waveform is generated based on waveform data corresponding to a plurality of electrical devices including the electrical device, as recorded during the first operation session. In an example embodiment, the wireless communication unit 206 may be configured to receive device-waveform data comprising information associated with the healthy waveform and the acceptable waveform deviation limit from the central station 106.

In an example embodiment, the wireless communication unit 206 may be configured to transmit an alert message to the UE 108, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is not within the acceptable waveform deviation limit of the healthy waveform. In an example embodiment, the wireless communication unit 206 may be configured to transmit device health data to the UE, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is within the acceptable waveform deviation limit of the healthy waveform. The device health data may include information about the efficiency of operation of the electrical device 102, and other such information related to the operation of the electrical device 102.

Furthermore, in an example embodiment, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is not within the acceptable waveform deviation limit from the healthy waveform, the controller 202 may configured to switch off the relay 210 using the relay driver 208, thus restricting the supply of electricity to the electrical device 102. Herein, the controller 202 may provide one or more control signals to the relay driver 208 for switching off supply of electricity to the electrical device 102. Based on the one or more control signals, the relay driver 208 may be configured to control an operation or a position of the relay 210 to switch off the supply of electricity to the electrical device 102.

Fig. 3 illustrates an environment 300 implementing electrical adapter 104, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the environment 300 includes a plurality of electrical devices 302-1 to 302-N. Each of said electrical devices/appliances 302 may be connected to an electrical supply using a corresponding electrical adapter 104. Furthermore, each of the electrical adapters 104 is wirelessly connected to a central station 304, such as the central station 106, and a UE 306. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a current status of the electrical devices 302 may be displayed to a user of the UE 306. For instance, a graphical user interface (GUI) 308 may display the current status. As may be seen, a faulty device, for example, device 3, may be identified. Accordingly, the user may take necessary corrective measures.

In an example, the information about the current status may be included in the device health data. Furthermore, in an example, information about the faulty device may be included in the alert message and may be displayed on the GUI 308.

Fig. 4 illustrates a method 400 implemented in an electrical adapter, such as the electrical adapter 104, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The description of fig. 4 is in conjunction with references to the descriptions of Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3, as described above. For the sake of brevity, operational and constructional details of the electrical adapter 104 are not provided in detail herein.

At step 402, the method 400 includes recording waveform data associated with an electrical device, such as the electrical device 102, coupled to the electrical adapter 104. In an example, the waveform data includes a plurality of values of at least one electrical parameter associated with electricity provided to the electrical device from a mains supply during a first operation session. In an example, the said may be performed by at least one electrical parameter recorder, such as the EPR 204.

At step 404, the method 400 includes generating a real-time waveform based on the recorded waveform data. In an example, a controller, such as the controller 202 may perform said step as described above.

At step 406, the method 400 includes determining, in real-time during the first operation session by the controller, whether the real-time waveform is within an acceptable waveform deviation limit from a healthy waveform. Herein, the healthy waveform is generated based on waveform data corresponding to a plurality of electrical devices including the electrical device, as recorded during the first operation session. In an example, the controller 202 performs said step. In an example, the device-waveform data including information associated with the healthy waveform and the acceptable waveform deviation limit is received from the central station 106.

In an example, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is not within the acceptable waveform deviation limit of the healthy waveform, the method proceeds to step 408. At step 408, the method 400 includes transmitting an alert message to the a User Equipment (UE), such as the UE 108. In an example, the wireless communication unit 206 may perform said transmitting.

In an example, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is within the acceptable waveform deviation limit of the healthy waveform, the method proceeds to step 410. At step 410, the method 400 includes transmitting device health data to the UE 108. In an example, the wireless communication unit 206 may perform said transmitting.

In an example, the method 400 further includes transmitting one or more control signals to a relay driver for switching off supply of electricity to the electrical device, if it is determined that the real-time waveform is not within the acceptable waveform deviation limit of the healthy waveform. Said step is performed by the controller 202. Furthermore, the method 400 includes controlling a position of a relay coupled to the relay driver, for switching off the supply of electricity to the electrical device, upon receiving the one or more control signals. Said step is performed by the relay driver 208.
