preface

In the life memory of the past decades, I can still clearly remember the scene of having the first TV and computer...... However, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to find a deep impression on the patch board from the memory. This is probably the embarrassing position of the patch board in the eyes of most people. In the human society of the electrical age, the patch panel can be regarded as one of the most indispensable electrical products. With it, the current can run to drive the dazzling electrical equipment in the home from all directions. For us, it is so important, but it is so unknown that you can't remember its existence unless the mobile phone needs to be charged. Traditional patch panels, whether large or small, seldom pay attention to the beauty of their appearance, the intelligence of their controllers, and the durability of their users. Therefore, the world of traditional patch panels is a silent and monotonous world. However, the emergence of smart patch panels stirred the quiet and monotonous Jianghu and successfully attracted people's attention here. They are made of superior materials, exquisite workmanship, fashionable and beautiful appearance, and smart in heart. If the traditional patch panel is compared to the Yan Zhao Han Dynasty, the excellent smart patch panel can be called a famous person in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Jiang Zuo Meilang COCO The intelligent patch board is such a product with beautiful appearance and intelligence, which can be controlled by your heart.

  The author recently participated in the public test activity of JD Intelligent Platform and was lucky to get one E10 Model COCO Smart patch board. After playing it for several times, record the process and feelings, and add, delete, and sort it out into an article for everyone. I hope everyone who has the chance to see this article will give more suggestions.

be pretty and intelligent -   Appearance

COCO The packaging box of is a rectangular box with white background and occasional information. At a glance, the front is only green in the middle LOGO , like a kite surrounded by white clouds, with products and APP The basic information is explained in a concise and comprehensive way. The simple design of the packaging box is just right, so that you don't think it is a Xiaba person or too sunny, bringing a fresh and warm feeling to the room in winter.

Seeing such a unique package, can't help but have a look at it?

Take out a brief manual in turn, a delicate "notice" COCO Angel User Book ", which is packed in a protective bag COCO Smart patch panel. The "Notice" COCO The "Angel User Book" is full of heart and feelings. Even though I don't belong to the "Angel User", I still feel it is so warm. The content of the manual is very brief, focusing on the product indicator status, buttons, jack diagrams, and binding APP Basic process, product specification, warranty statement, precautions, etc.

When the translucent protective bag is removed, the true appearance of the patch board finally unfolds before our eyes. Since the shell is made of one-time seamless injection molding, the top surface is sanded and the side is polished, and the streamlined and round appearance is full of the ultimate texture, it is like a white spirit suddenly emerging from the darkness when it is taken out of the bag, which is pleasant.

This is a E10 Model, about 3/5 Spatial distribution of four New national standard combination jack, none USB Jack, but there is USB Jack E11 The model has a set of new national standard combination jacks, which have different choices for different life scenes. The front of the product is distributed four Convex panel of new national standard combination jack, one light guide for power indicator + Power switch button, one WIFI Light transmission layer of status indicator light, brand LOGO There is an overload protection button on one side, an oval anti slip pad and basic product information on both ends of the bottom.

The light of the power indicator has changed from the traditional red light design to green light. After the power is connected, the power indicator flashes and then goes out. At this time, press and hold the power switch according to the instructions three Seconds, and then the power indicator flashes again WIFI The indicator light flashes to turn on the hot spot mode. The power switch button feels rather stiff. I hope it can be improved later.

The rounded square plug is more comfortable to hold in your hand. The three plugs are bright in the light. It is said that the high gloss nickel plated brass is used, which is very beautiful. The conductor looks thick and strong, and stands up against some small brands of soft conductors.

The overall shape of the plugboard is simple and fresh, especially the integrated shell and round shape. The anti slip pad at the bottom is also unique, but the body is about 2/5 Space for WIFI Controller, overload protector, power controller and other solutions, so the front combination jack is too compact, and the rear end surface is too loose. Of course, due to the addition of multiple controllers that occupy too much space inside, it is inevitable that we can only hope that we can reduce the size of the controller and chip by practicing magic skills in the future. The most imperfect thing here is that the overload protection button is actually slightly crooked. The top cover plate and the bottom shell are not pressed tightly, with obvious gaps. The workmanship needs to be strengthened.

be pretty and intelligent  -   internal structure

When the flawless white jade like body of the patch board lies in front of me, it emits holy light under the light. At this time, I hesitated to open it like other test objects. Finally, fanaticism prevailed over reason. I didn't think about anything and opened it.  

First, check the number and position of screws. Take off the anti slip mat, you can see it on the back four There are two obvious screw holes, and two screw holes are firmly blocked by the hole plugs. After some exploration, it is found that these two hole plugs cannot be removed innocuously, and they can only be removed destructively, without anti-skid pads and protective plugs, six A screw appeared in front of me. Next, we need to work hard to unload six Three triangular screws, which are tightened quite tightly, need to be tightened with some force. In order to prevent the casing from being damaged by uneven force, it is better to loosen them in turn, and remove the screws again in the last round. After all the screws are removed, open the top cover carefully, and the basic circuit structure will appear in front of you.

The overall circuit structure is relatively compact. On the left is integrated power relay, power switch, indicator light, overload protection WiFi The circuit board of the module is separated from strong current and weak current, and the right side is equipped with protection control AC Bit, I think there is still space for stacking materials in this part three It is still possible to squeeze one relay for split control, and the relay is Wangrong RJ Series, not a first-line brand, but with a high cost performance ratio, so they are stacked again three All of them are affordable.

Several capacitors of different thickness are distributed in PC On the board, from the appearance, it should be the point capacitance. The overload protection module in the upper left corner is engraved with ORVIBO It should be a self-developed product. The lower left corner is the power switch module, and the middle of the circuit board is the switch button WIFI And power indicator. MOS There is no independent heat sink on the tube. I don't know how the heat dissipation is when the power load is large. The inductance and capacitance can be ignored, but MOS It's better to stick an aluminum radiator on the tube. Didn't see the front of the circuit board WIFI The template and chip are on the other side. It's too late to bother.

Look at the one on the right AC Bit. All jacks are designed with a layer of safety protection control module. The mechanical structure design is ingenious. This structure ensures that the three-phase plug can not be inserted without a ground plug. However, this structure also leads to too much resistance when the two-phase plug is inserted, which requires a lot of effort to insert, affecting the feeling of use.

Take one off carefully AC The protective layer with a golden integrated copper bar is exposed. As it is an integrated tin phosphorus copper strip without any connecting wire, the copper core is directly welded to the PCB So it looks like a golden road winding among the mountains, very beautiful.

After the rough disassembly and inspection of the internal structure, close the cover plate, tighten the screws, and insert the foot pad and two damaged protective plugs. Except for the two holes on the protective plug that hurt me, the rest of the protective plug was restored as it was.

Feel free - Overview

The reason why it can be controlled by heart is that there is a WIFI Remote controller, via mobile phone APP towards WIFI The receiver sends the power switch command, WIFI The controller drives the relay AC Power switch of potential. The general principle is as follows:

        1 .     First, long press the power button, WIFI The indicator flashes to start the hotspot mode;

        2.    Connect your phone to this hotspot and control COCO Of WIFI Module Search Real Family WIFI , and enter the family as required WIFI Of SSID （ SSID Generally, one) and password are selected by default;

        3.    COCO Of WIFI Module Connection Home WIFI success;

        4.    Mobile phone connecting to home WIFI , Mobile APP And COCO One plugboard at the same place WIFI The data can be sent and received directly through network communication in the network of.

    However, it can not be regarded as completely controlled by heart at present, because there is only one relay, which can not be used for each AC It is a big pity to carry out remote switch operation. If these controls can be supplemented in the later stage, it should be really controlled at will.

It can be seen from the prompt on the packing box that, COCO The smart patch board supports both Alibaba Xiaozhi (now renamed "Alibaba Smart") and Zhijia three hundred and sixty According to the above principle of connection matching management, the actual connection process is tested in two APP The steps in are basically the same, but the only difference is Alibaba Smart APP The control mode of is more, and switching is more convenient. It should be noted that if the current patch board has been added to the same family through Alibaba Smart WIFI In the network and in the open state, smart home APP The device can be automatically scanned and prompted, and the user can complete the pairing operation with one click without going through the following steps. On the contrary, Alibaba Intelligent has the same function.

Be in control-   A wise family three hundred and sixty

First come to Zhijia three hundred and sixty , Open APP , register a new account, and click on the upper right corner“ + ”Follow the prompts step by step, and the general operation process is consistent with the above principle. After the device is added, you can add the mode of regularly turning on or off the power supply. It is simpler to say nothing more, just as shown in the figure.

Be in control-   Alibaba Smart

If you have an existing Taobao account, you can directly log in to Alibaba Smart, otherwise you also need to register an account. After entering the main interface, click the "Add Device" button, and then follow the prompts step by step. The process is the same as that of Zhijia three hundred and sixty They are similar to the above principles.

After the device is added successfully, it will automatically enter the control panel interface and communicate with Zhijia APP In different cases, Alibaba Intelligent has a variety of modes that can be set. Each mode can set different switching modes at different times, which means that some commonly used switching time points can be configured into several fixed options in advance. Users can switch freely when necessary. It is not necessary to reset every time the time needs to be adjusted. In addition to the fixed scenario mode, Alibaba Intelligent provides separate timing switches and delay settings. In this way, the combination of these modes can effectively reduce the frequency and time of user settings. This is Bizhijia APP One of the good places to use.

After the whole test, set the board mode to "charge protection" in Alibaba Smart, which means one Turn off the power after hours. After turning off the lights, the family moves WIFI The status light of the plug board, the status light of the power bank, and so on flicker alternately with various colors of lights, creating a magical large scene in the dark. However, one After three hours, all these lights will disappear in the dark according to my requirements. It's really interesting to think about this picture.

Postscript

After the whole experience process is completed, the following advantages and disadvantages are sorted out according to the records of the process for your reference. You are welcome to criticize and correct, and we hope that the product team will continue to work harder.

advantage:

        1.   The shell is made of one-time seamless injection molding. The top surface is sanded and the sides are polished. The appearance is fresh and beautiful, and the overall workmanship does not hide flaws;

        2.   Self developed overload protector with high quality and technology;

        3.   With the protection door of Akihabara, the three-phase ungrounded plug cannot be inserted, and the two-phase plug needs greater strength to be inserted, which can effectively protect children's behavior;

        4.   One-piece five Tin phosphorus copper strip with a thickness of about mm, without any connecting wire, and the copper core is directly welded to the PCB Upper;

        5.   All of them adopt point capacitance;

        6.   WIFI The control module is very sensitive APP The switching power supply is completed instantaneously;

        7.   Two types are supported APP Control, giving users more choices.

Suggestions for improvement:

        1.   There are some defects in the workmanship, such as the overload protection button is skewed, the joint gap between the top cover and the shell is large, and the power switch button feels slightly stiff;

        2.   The protector of the two-phase jack is too strong and requires too much force to insert;

        3.   MOS The tube has no separate heat dissipation sticker;

        4.   There is only one Wangrong relay four individual AC Bit shunting control;

        5.   A wise family three hundred and sixty Of APP The function is weaker, and there is still room for improvement in the existing product function;

        6.   The two protective plugs in the middle of the back of the plug board should preferably provide a way for easy removal.

         In addition, if you add some space AC It will be a more exciting scheme to add a silicon controlled regulator to realize remote adjustment of light brightness and fan speed by controlling voltage output in separate circuits. Of course, the cost will certainly rise, but the current price is not crowdfunding thirty-nine Yuan is from Jingdong seventy-nine Yuan, so a slight increase in the price can realize the true beauty and wisdom, which can be controlled by the heart.
