Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas cylinder management, and in particular relates to a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder tracking integration system and method. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the field of energy supply, LPG, as an important clean energy, is widely used in various fields such as households, commerce and industry. As the use of LPG continues to increase, the management of its storage, transportation carriers and LPG cylinders has become increasingly important.

[0004] Traditional management of LPG cylinders mainly relies on manual registration, inspection and tracking, which is inefficient, error-prone, and difficult to achieve real-time monitoring of a large number of cylinders. On the one hand, manual management cannot accurately grasp the location, usage status and circulation of cylinders, which may lead to problems such as cylinder loss, overdue inspection or illegal use. On the other hand, in the filling and distribution of LPG, due to the lack of effective tracking methods, safety hazards are prone to occur, such as illegal filling and use of unqualified cylinders.

[0005] With the rapid development of information technology, digital and intelligent management models have gradually become the development trend of various industries. In the fields of logistics, supply chain management, etc., the application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence has achieved remarkable results. These advanced technologies also make it possible to achieve accurate tracking and intelligent management of gas cylinders. Using the Internet of Things technology, sensors can collect information such as pressure, temperature, and location of gas cylinders in real time, and transmit these data to the management platform for analysis and processing; with the help of big data technology, a large amount of gas cylinder data can be mined and analyzed to provide support for corporate decision-making; artificial intelligence technology can realize automatic early warning and processing of abnormal conditions of gas cylinders.

[0006] However, the inventors have found that the existing liquefied petroleum gas cylinder tracking technology still has certain shortcomings. For example, Chinese patent 201910078600.2 provides a gas cylinder filling tracking and management system. By installing a special barcode, it is convenient for gas cylinder users to quickly understand the relevant information of the gas cylinder, and by adding and rewriting information to the barcode, it is convenient for technicians to quickly record the filling of the gas cylinder. However, only a single link of gas cylinder tracking is considered, and the distribution, scrapping and recycling of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders are not considered. The gas cylinder tracking process is imperfect, and there are still safety hazards and waste of resources. At the same time, the barcodes, QR codes, etc. used are contaminated and damaged during long-term use, resulting in failure to read information, and thus the gas cylinder tracking cannot be achieved.

[0092] (5) Place the written NFC tag on the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder.

[0093] In this embodiment, the written NFC tag is attached to the valve of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder.

[0094] (6) Use the NFC reader terminal to read the NFC tag from the gas cylinder to confirm whether the gas cylinder specification file data is accurate. If it is accurate, upload the NFC reader terminal positioning data to the cloud server. If not, modify the gas cylinder data and rewrite the modified data into the NFC tag to complete the gas cylinder activation.

[0095] In this embodiment, the reading terminal is used again to read the pasted NFC tag to identify the gas cylinder specification file data, and the gas cylinder specification file data is checked for accuracy based on the gas cylinder factory label. If the data is accurate, click the "Monitoring Complete" button on the NFC reading terminal, and upload the gas cylinder positioning data (NFC tag positioning information) on the NFC reading terminal to the cloud server. If the data is inaccurate, click the "Modify Data" button, modify the erroneous data, and then write it into the NFC tag through the NFC reading terminal contact again, and the gas cylinder activation is completed.

[0096] (7) The activation information of the gas cylinder can be queried through the traceability platform.

[0097] In this embodiment, the reading terminal is used again to read the pasted NFC tag to identify the gas cylinder specification file data, and the gas cylinder specification file data is checked according to the gas cylinder factory label to see whether it is read and written accurately. If the data is accurate, click the "Monitoring Complete" button on the NFC reading terminal, and upload the gas cylinder positioning data (NFC tag positioning information) on the NFC terminal to the cloud server. If the data is inaccurate, click the "Modify Data" button, modify the erroneous data, and then write it into the NFC tag through the NFC reading terminal contact again, and the gas cylinder activation is completed.

[0098] After the above steps, the activation link of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is tracked through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tag and cloud server.

[0099] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, during the filling of the gas cylinder, an NFC reader terminal is used to identify the NFC tag on the gas cylinder to obtain the gas cylinder specification file data, and the corresponding gas cylinder specification file data is sent to the filler through the cloud server, and the filling record and the NFC reader terminal positioning data are uploaded to the cloud server to complete the gas cylinder filling.

[0100] In this embodiment, when the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is in the filling stage, the filling process is:

[0101] (1) Use the NFC reader terminal to sense the NFC tag and obtain the cylinder specification file data.

[0102] In this embodiment, an NFC reader terminal is used to sense and identify the NFC tag on the gas cylinder to obtain the gas cylinder specification file data, which includes data such as the gas cylinder capacity, inspection time, next inspection time, bottle weight, factory time, and manufacturer.

[0103] (2) The cloud server sends the corresponding capacity to the filler based on the cylinder specification file data.

[0104] In this embodiment, based on the gas cylinder specification file data obtained from the NFC tag, the current gas cylinder specification file data, especially the gas cylinder capacity, is queried on the cloud server, and the gas cylinder capacity is sent to the filler.

[0105] (3) The filler automatically fills the corresponding capacity.

[0106] (4) After the filling is completed, the filling record and the NFC reader terminal positioning data are uploaded to the cloud server.

[0107] In this embodiment, after the charger completes the filling, the charger uploads the filling record and positioning data (according to the charger positioning information, the charger position is fixed) to the cloud server.

[0108] Among them, the filling record includes information such as the link where the gas cylinder is located, the operator, and the operation time.

[0109] (5) The cloud server sends the filling record to the NFC reader terminal to indicate that the filling is complete.

[0110] In this embodiment, the cloud server sends the current filling record to the reading terminal to show that the current filling is completed.

[0111] (6) The historical inflation data and current inflation data can be queried through the traceability platform based on the cylinder specification archive data.

[0112] After the above steps, the tracking of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder filling process is realized through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tag and cloud server.

[0113] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, during the delivery of gas cylinders, the gas cylinders are delivered to the user's home, the NFC tag is identified by the NFC reading terminal, the delivery information corresponding to the gas cylinder is obtained through the cloud server, the gas cylinder and user information are detected to match, the delivery personnel information is associated with the gas cylinder and uploaded to the cloud server, and the gas cylinder positioning data and operation log data are updated at the same time to complete the delivery.

[0114] In this embodiment, when the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is in the distribution link, the specific process is:

[0115] (1) Deliver the gas cylinder with the NFC tag to the user’s home.

[0116] In this embodiment, the gas cylinder is delivered to the user's home by means of transportation.

[0117] (2) Use an NFC reader terminal to read the NFC tag and obtain the unique identification of the gas cylinder.

[0118] (3) Based on the unique identification of the gas cylinder, the delivery information of the gas cylinder (the user order information created when the gas cylinder is sold) is obtained through the cloud server, and the delivery information of the gas cylinder is sent to the NFC reading terminal.

[0119] (4) Check whether the delivery information of the gas cylinder matches the user information. If so, confirm that the information matches and click Deliver. If not, modify the user information to make it match.

[0120] (5) Associate the delivery personnel information with the delivery data and upload them to the cloud server.

[0121] (6) Update the cylinder location data and operation log data to complete the delivery.

[0122] According to the gas cylinder positioning data of the current NFC reading terminal and the information such as the link of the gas cylinder operation, the operator, the operation time, etc., the gas cylinder positioning data and operation log data in the cloud server are updated, and the delivery is completed.

[0123] After the above steps, the tracking of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder distribution process is realized through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tag and cloud server.

[0124] In this embodiment, it is considered that the general gas cylinder tracking technology only tracks the filling link of the entire process of the gas cylinder, and does not track the distribution, recycling and scrapping links in this embodiment, and only queries and displays the current link of the gas cylinder, and does not perform subsequent operations. However, the LPG gas cylinder tracking integrated system in this embodiment not only considers the successful implementation of the filling link of the gas cylinder, but also considers the safety of the gas cylinder in the distribution link and the accuracy of tracking, avoiding the problem of tracking failure and safety hazards caused by the wrong distribution of the LPG gas cylinder.

[0125] This implementation combines NFC reading terminals, NFC tags and cloud server platforms to achieve effective and accurate tracking of the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders. This ensures the accuracy and safety of cylinder distribution and solves problems that cannot be overcome by general cylinder tracking systems.

[0126] like Figure 1 As shown, when the gas cylinder is scrapped, the NFC reading terminal is used to identify the NFC tag, and the cloud server automatically queries the relevant information of the gas cylinder based on the gas cylinder information, determines that the gas cylinder is scrapped and issues an alarm.

[0127] In this embodiment, when the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is in the scrapping stage, the specific process is:

[0128] Use the NFC reader terminal to read the NFC tag and obtain the cylinder specification file data;

[0129] According to the cylinder specification file data, the cloud server automatically queries the cylinder filling times, usage cycle and safety-related fields for judgment;

[0130] If the number of filling times or the usage cycle is exceeded, the NFC reading terminal will issue an alarm and scrap the gas cylinder.

[0131] After the above steps, the tracking of the scrapping of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders is realized through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tag and cloud server.

[0132] like Figure 1 As shown, during the recycling of gas cylinders, an NFC reader terminal is used to identify the NFC tag, and the cloud server automatically queries the relevant information of the gas cylinder based on the gas cylinder information, determines the recycling of the gas cylinder, and completes the recycling of the gas cylinder.

[0133] In this embodiment, when the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is in the recycling stage, the specific process is as follows:

[0134] Use the NFC reader terminal to read the NFC tag and obtain the cylinder specification file data;

[0135] According to the cylinder specification file data, the cloud server automatically queries the cylinder inspection time and the fields related to safety for judgment;

[0136] If the inspection time is exceeded, the NFC reading terminal will sound an alarm and recycle the gas cylinder.

[0137] After the above steps, the tracking of the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder recycling process is realized through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tag and cloud server.

[0138] This embodiment not only realizes the tracking of the activation, filling and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, but also takes into account the resource waste and safety hazards existing in the existing gas cylinder tracking system. By realizing the tracking of the scrapping and recycling of gas cylinders, the resource waste and safety hazards are solved. Through the cooperation between the NFC reading terminal, NFC tags and cloud servers, the liquefied petroleum gas cylinders are first tracked to be in the scrapping or recycling stage, and then the gas cylinders are scrapped or recycled according to the tracking results, avoiding resource waste and safety hazards, which are also not taken into account in the existing gas cylinder tracking.

[0139] Those skilled in the art should understand that the modules or steps of the present invention described above can be implemented by a general-purpose computer device, or alternatively, they can be implemented by a program code executable by a computing device, so that they can be stored in a storage device and executed by the computing device, or they can be made into individual integrated circuit modules, or multiple modules or steps therein can be made into a single integrated circuit module for implementation. The present invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.

[0140] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
