Wireless Infrared Temperature Measuring System Design for Cable in Comprehensive Pipe Corridor

Abstract

The comprehensive pipe corridor could realize the unified planning and construction of electricity, gas and communication, save urban land resources and beautify urban landscape. However, due to the narrow space and numerous pipelines in the pipe corridor, once the power cable fired, it would cause serious losses. This paper presented a wireless infrared temperature measuring system for power cable in the comprehensive pipe corridor based on infrared temperature measuring and radio frequency communication technology. This system used STM32 as the development platform, used AM2301 infrared temperature sensor to collect cable temperature, transmitted data of each temperature measuring node to the data management center through ESP8266 wireless module, and finally transferred the data of the management center to the server through RS485 bus, realizing the functions of multi-node temperature collection and wireless data transmission. It was verified by experiments that the measurement error of the temperature monitoring system was within 0.5°C, which could monitor the node temperature in real time, and provide guarantee for the safe operation and fire prevention of power cables in the comprehensive pipe corridor.
