Wireless communication gas meter with multiple communication channels and using method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless communication gas meter with multiple communication channels and a using method thereof. The gas meter comprises a communication channel dividing module, a communication channel configuration module, a data transmission and communication channel switching module and a communication channel redistribution module, wherein the communication channel dividing module is used for dividing N channels within a predetermined frequency, and one of the N channels is a broadcasting channel while the rest of the N channels are communication channels; the communication channel configuration module is used for configuring the n communication channels to the meter end through the broadcasting channel when the meter is mounted, and after configuration, the meter works in the broadcasting channel and the selected n communication channels; the data transmission and communication channel switching module is used for sending data by the meter through one of the selected communication channels, and is switched to the other communication channel for sending data when the communications channel is abnormal to sent data; and the communication channel redistribution module is used for applying a novel communication channel through the broadcasting channel when the selected n communication channels cannot communicate normally. The gas meter disclosed by the invention solves the problem that in the prior art, the communication channels are single and the communication effect is poor when the channels are interfered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wireless communication gas meter with multiple communication channels and a using method thereof. Background technique [0002] Electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, etc. are some of the measuring instruments involved in daily life. In the past, the data collection of electric meters, water meters, and gas meters was done by manual meter reading. This method has the disadvantages of heavy workload, low efficiency, and High cost and error-prone problems. With the progress of automation technology, traditional manual meter reading has been gradually replaced by advanced automatic meter reading system. In the automatic meter reading system, a collector (concentrator) is usually set up to collect the data information of multiple meters, and then transmit it to the back-end center. The data communication between the concentrator and the meter is the first step in the collection of the whole system, and its communication ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] First, the communication channel is single, and the communication effect is poor when the channel is interfered

[0004] Second, after the communication parameters are solidified, they cannot be adjusted according to the on-site conditions;

[0005] Third, some meters cannot communicate due to the remote installation location, so it is difficult to find and handle during installation;

[0006] Fourth, when the communication parameters of multiple concentrators are the same, there is a problem of mutual interference

[0007] Fifth, when the original communication channel is interfered and unable to communicate, it cannot be automatically resolved
