Abstract

A remote power control system and method for use with a remote wireless transceiver is disclosed to include a solenoid switch for switching on/off multiple power sockets to which controlled machines are connected, sensors installed in different locations to detect different parameters, a wireless transceiver module for communication with the remote wireless transceiver wirelessly, a processor for processing a feedback signal from each sensor and transmitting the feedback signal to the remote wireless transceiver wirelessly through the wireless transceiver module and for processing each control signal received from the remote wireless transceiver through the wireless transceiver module and driving the solenoid switch to switch on/off the power sockets subject to the control signal received.

Claims

1. A remote power control system comprising:

at least one power socket for providing power supply to a respective machine connected thereto;

a solenoid switch adapted for switching on/off said at least one power socket subject to a predetermined control mode set thereof, said solenoid switch being controllable by an external control signal to switch on/off said at least one power socket;

at least one sensor respectively installed in a predetermined location and adapted for detecting a respective parameter and providing a respective feedback signal to said solenoid switch subject to the detection;

a wireless transceiver module adapted for transmitting said feedback signal received from said at least one sensor by said solenoid switch to a remote wireless transceiver and receiving a control signal from said remote wireless transceiver wirelessly for controlling the operation of said solenoid switch;

a processor electrically connected with said solenoid switch and said wireless transceiver module and adapted for processing said feedback signal received from said at least one sensor by said solenoid switch and transmitting said feedback signal to said remote wireless transceiver wirelessly through said wireless transceiver module and for processing each control signal received from said remote wireless transceiver through said wireless transceiver module and driving said solenoid switch to switch on/off said at least one power socket subject to said control signal received; and

a power adapter adapted for providing power supply to said processor, said wireless transceiver module, said solenoid switch, said at least one sensor and said at least one power socket.

2. The remote power control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said solenoid switch is a relay.

3. A remote power control method comprising the steps of:

a) receiving a control signal from a remote wireless transceiver by a processor via a wireless transceiver module;

b) checking said control signal being a power-off control signal and then turning off power supply from machines; and

c) driving a solenoid switch to switch off power sockets for cutting off power supply from said machines.

4. The remote power control system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said solenoid switch is a relay.
