Abstract
The invention relates to a monitoring module specially designed to be installed in motors of industrial fans, railway fans or tunnel fans, which operates without batteries or wiring, powered by wind energy, and which comprises a wind turbine and at least one sensor designed to measure at least one operational parameter of a driven motor, and to a corresponding system including the module.
Claims14
A monitoring module (1) specially designed to be installed in motors of industrial fans, railway fans or tunnel fans, characterised in that it comprises a wind turbine (10) and at least one sensor (2) designed to measure at least one operational parameter of the monitored motor (3).
The monitoring module (1) according to the preceding claim, characterised in that the wind turbine (10) is formed by at least some blades (11) and a casing (12) that houses therein said wind turbine and an electronic power, control and communication system of the assembly.
The monitoring module (1) according to the preceding claim, characterised in that the blades (11) of the wind turbine (10) are Giromill type blades.
The monitoring module (1) according to the preceding claim, characterised in that the electronic system comprises a supercapacitor designed to accumulate the energy that comes from the converter.
The monitoring module (1) according to the preceding claim, characterised in that the electronic system controls the generated energy.
The monitoring module (1) according to the preceding claim, characterised in that it comprises a system-on-chip (SoC) to control communications and data acquisition.
The monitoring module (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it is provided with fastening means (15), both for the sensor and for the generator.
The system (100) for monitoring according to the preceding claim, characterised in that it also comprises an IoT node (101) to communicate and transmit the data obtained from the monitoring module (1), electronic device or industrial sensor of the machine or motor itself that is monitored.
The system (100) for monitoring according to the preceding claim, characterised in that it comprises analogue control of the SoC power supply, connecting or disconnecting the voltage of the system to charge a supercapacitor even if the energy generated is very low, such as lower than the consumption of low-consumption operation.
