Abstract

A street lamp controller comprises a switch configured to turn on and turn off a street lamp, a control module adapted to control the turning on and turning off of the switch, a detection module adapted to detect a data element relevant to operation of the street lamp, a data acquisition module connected to the detection module and adapted to acquire the data element detected by the detection module, and a wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module communicates with a server and is adapted to transmit the data element acquired by the data acquisition module to the server and receive a control instruction sent from the server. The control module is adapted to communicate with the server via the wireless transmission module and is adapted to control the street lamp based on the control instruction received by the wireless transmission module.

Claims (25)

1. A street lamp controller, comprising:

a switch configured to turn on and turn off a street lamp;

a control module adapted to control the turning on and turning off of the switch;

a detection module adapted to detect a data element relevant to operation of the street lamp, the detection module includes an opening time and closing time detecting module adapted to detect an opening time and a closing time of the switch;

a data acquisition module connected to the detection module and adapted to acquire the data element detected by the detection module; and

a wireless transmission module communicating with a server and adapted to transmit the data element acquired by the data acquisition module to the server and receive a control instruction sent from the server, the control module is adapted to communicate with the server via the wireless transmission module and is adapted to control the street lamp based on the control instruction received by the wireless transmission module.

2. The street lamp controller of claim 1 , wherein the detection module includes at least one of:

a current detecting module adapted to detect a current flowing through the street lamp;

a voltage detecting module adapted to detect a voltage of the street lamp;

a power detecting module adapted to detect a power of the street lamp;

an illuminance detecting module adapted to detect an illuminance of the street lamp; and

a humidity detecting module adapted to detect an environmental humidity around the street lamp.

3. The street lamp controller of claim 2 , wherein the switch is a light-controlled switch.

4. The street lamp controller of claim 2 , wherein the control module includes a central processing unit adapted to communicate with the server via the wireless transmission module.

5. The street lamp controller of claim 2 , wherein the control module is adapted to control the illuminance of the street lamp based on the control instruction received by the wireless transmission module.

6. The street lamp controller of claim 1 , wherein the detection module includes a temperature detecting module adapted to detect an environmental temperature around the street lamp.

7. The street lamp controller of claim 1 , wherein the detection module includes a frequency detecting module adapted to detect a frequency of the current flowing through the street lamp.

8. An intelligent control system for a plurality of street lamps, comprising:

a plurality of street lamp controllers, each of the street lamp controllers mounted on one of the plurality of street lamps and each including:

a switch configured to turn on and turn off the street lamp;

a control module adapted to control the turning on and turning off of the switch;

a detection module adapted to detect a data element relevant to operation of the street lamp, the detection module includes an opening time and closing time detecting module adapted to detect an opening time and a closing time of the switch;

a data acquisition module connected to the detection module and adapted to acquire the data element detected by the detection module; and

a wireless transmission module adapted to transmit the data element acquired by the data acquisition module; and

a backend server communicating with the wireless transmission module of each of the plurality of street lamp controllers, the backend server is adapted to receive the data element from each of the street lamp controllers, analyze the received data elements, and send a corresponding control instruction to each of the street lamp controllers based on the analysis, the control module of each of the street lamp controllers is adapted to control the street lamp based on the control instruction.
