The invention provides an electronic lead sealing device and a control method. The electronic lead sealing device comprises an electronic lock, two lock bodies and a lock chain. The lock chain comprises a first sub-
chain segment, a second sub-
chain segment and a
resistor connected between the first sub-
chain segment and the second sub-chain segment, the end, away from the
resistor, of the first sub-chain segment is used for being connected with one lock body, and the end, away from the
resistor, of the second sub-chain segment is used for being connected with the other lock body. The two lock bodies are connected with the two ends of the electronic lock through wires respectively. The electronic lock is provided with a
processing module and a resistance value obtaining module. The resistance value obtaining module is used for obtaining the resistance value in an electric loop when the electronic lock, the lock body and the lock chain are connected to form the electric loop. The
processing module is used for judging whether the chain is
cut off based on the resistance value. According to the electronic lock, the electric loop is formed among the electronic lock, the lock body and the lock chain, and the specific resistor is arranged in the lock chain, so that whether the lock chain is
cut off or lapped or not can be judged according to the monitored resistance value, and the safety performance is high.
