Description
INTELLIGENT POWER SOCKET WITH ABILITY TO DISCONNECT THE STANDBY DEVICES AND DISPLAY THE COST OF ELECTRICITY
DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the field of electronics which demonstrates the extracted statistical information to a consumer through digital connection through electronic devices, electronic calculator and display.
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
Considering the importance of the issue of saving electricity, it is significant to know how many hours do electrical devises work during a day, and how much electricity they consume and also how much they cost for the person. Currently, there is no way to distinguish how much electricity is consumed by each device in different times and as a result, there is not a tangible and clear way for saving.
Furthermore, electrical devices in standby mode consume electricity as well. There is an assumption that these devices consume less electricity, however if this little consumption is multiplied to the number of these devices in all buildings, the figure is definitely remarkable. It is important to note that people tend to ignore the electricity consumption in peak hours despite public education regarding the consumption of electricity or while consuming electricity, they forget whether they are in peak hours or not. By ignoring this fact, they not only must pay more but also put pressure on power network.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Currently, electricity bill is the sole way to see power consumption of which one is not able to extract statistical information and thus planning would be useless. Although relative power consumption is written on each electrical devise, calculating the consumption considering the time of use and the simultaneous use of several devises can be such a hard task for people with not much expertise. In addition, some electrical devices consume more electricity as they are being utilized more. Meanwhile, there is no automatic way to remove standby electrical devices from electric power circuit.
Also, the available three way electronic power sockets ultimately display voltage and prevent sudden connections of electronic devices to the network after switching power. Moreover, there is no warning system to remind the consumption peak hours.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
This intelligent power socket which makes digital connection through electronic devices, calculator and display, helps consumer to obtain the amount of consumption for each outlet
considering the type of electronic device utilized in a specified time interval (eg, a day or a week) in terms of currency and if necessary, adjust the electronic device to announce Warning that the electronic device number one and electronic device two must not work more than one and two hours each day respectively, or electronic device tree must not be utilized at peak time. Also, warn the user when the user utilizes highly consumed electronic devices at peak times. In addition, by examining the amount of consumed electrical current, this device estimates the standby mode of the electronic device and after a few minutes in a case that electronic device does not operate, it removes that from circuit. If each one of the sockets disconnect automatically, with pressing and holding of each button of any the remote control, the socket will be connect to the power and it is ready to use.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION:
This device is utilized in houses or official buildings and any place where electrical devices are used. With the help of this device, standby devices are disabled out of circuit and the person realizes how long any of the devices has been used in specified interval, and considering their utilizations, what price is paid which results in planning for those electrical devices as mentioned earlier.
