Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vector-borne disease control technology in civil aviation airports, and in particular to a smart rodent bait box control system and monitoring method for civil aviation airports. Background Technology

[0002] The intelligent rodent bait box control system is an automated system for vector-borne disease control in airports. This system is applicable to airport terminal areas, apron areas, runway areas, perimeter areas, cargo terminal areas, airline catering areas, and aviation fuel areas, and is particularly necessary for airports with an annual passenger throughput exceeding 5 million. With the rapid development of society and the gradual strengthening of information technology infrastructure, establishing an air route security risk assessment system is an inevitable trend in the future development of international civil aviation security. It helps provide data support for civil aviation security management personnel and provides a sound security guarantee for civil aviation safety. Incidents of aircraft diversions, returns, and delays caused by rodents entering aircraft occur frequently.

[0003] However, current technology lacks a complete solution for a smart bait box control system applied to civil aviation airports. Currently, vector control solutions provided by domestic airports rely on individual experience, resulting in the arbitrary placement of bait boxes and the indiscriminate scattering of poisoned bait in open areas. A smart bait box control system for civil aviation airports remains a blank area. Furthermore, with traditional methods, it's impossible to verify whether rats have eaten the bait in the boxes, how much they ate, when they ate it, or whether the bait boxes were placed appropriately. Especially in apron areas, runway areas, and perimeter areas, bait is simply scattered haphazardly, rendering it completely ineffective after a rain. Recording information during the traditional bait box process is entirely manual. Staff must manually check the bait boxes daily to see if rats have entered and to record the remaining bait. When bait boxes are deployed extensively throughout the airport, manual checking is inefficient. Important information such as the rats' activity time, weight, number of visits (and number of rats), and the effectiveness of the bait is not recorded.

[0004] Therefore, how to monitor whether rats enter the bait box, count whether there are rats in the area where the bait box is placed, and how much the rats weigh are the issues that need to be considered. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a smart rodent bait box control system and monitoring method for civil aviation airports, thus solving the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a smart rodent bait box control system for civil aviation airports, comprising a rodent bait box controller and a detection device connected to the rodent bait box controller; The bait box controller is configured to wake up when it receives alarm information from the detection device indicating that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, or that a mouse has left the smart bait box, or that the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, or when a set time has been reached. If the received information is an alarm message indicating that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, or information indicating that the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, the controller reports the mouse entering the bait box and resets the timer to restart the countdown. If the received information is that a mouse has left the smart bait box, the controller sends a control command to the detection device to check the remaining bait. If the set time has been reached, the controller automatically checks the working status of each device unit; if the device status is normal, the controller resets the timer to restart the countdown. The detection device is configured to detect whether the smart bait box is open, whether a mouse enters or leaves the smart bait box, the position of the smart bait box, changes in the amount of bait, and vibration information of the smart bait box.

[0007] The bait box controller includes a 3V power supply unit, a system sleep timer control unit, a CPU control unit, a control interface unit, a system sleep wake-up unit, a Mesh network communication unit, an I / O interface, and a junction box. The 3V power supply unit is connected to the detection device via a junction box; the system sleep timer control unit is connected to the IO interface and the CPU control unit respectively; the CPU control unit is connected to the control interface unit and the IO interface respectively, and the control interface unit and the Mesh network communication unit are connected to the IO interface; the system sleep wake-up unit is connected to the CPU control unit and the IO interface respectively; the IO interface is connected to the junction box.

[0008] The detection device includes a bait box opening detector, a mouse entering the bait box detector, a mouse leaving the bait box detector, a bait box position detector, a bait quantity change detector, and a bait box vibration detector, all connected to the bait box controller.

[0009] A monitoring method based on a smart rodent bait box control system for civil aviation airports, the monitoring method comprising: Determine if the bait box controller meets the wake-up conditions. If it does, execute the following steps depending on the specific wake-up conditions: A1. The system reports to the backend system that a mouse has entered the smart bait box via the Mesh network communication unit, and enters a sleep state after the reset timer restarts. When the mouse leaves the smart bait box, the system is woken up again, and the remaining amount of bait is detected and reported to the backend via the Mesh network communication unit. A2, or the system automatically checks the working status of each device unit and reports the working status of each device to the backend system through the Mesh network communication unit. If the device status is normal, the timer is reset to start counting again. If the device is faulty, an alarm is triggered for repair.

[0010] The wake-up conditions include: an alarm message indicating that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, a message indicating that a mouse has left the smart bait box, a message indicating that the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, or the setting time has been reached. If the received alarm message indicates that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, or if the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, the system will report the mouse entering the bait box and reset the timer to restart the countdown. If the received message indicates that a mouse has left the smart bait box, the system will send a control command to the detection device to check the remaining bait. If the set time has been reached, the system will automatically check the working status of each device unit. If the device status is normal, the system will reset the timer to restart the countdown.

[0011] If the remaining bait is greater than the set minimum value, the timer is reset and starts counting again. If the remaining bait is less than or equal to the set minimum value, an alarm message is reported to the backend via the Mesh network communication unit to prompt manual inspection and baiting.

[0012] The determination of whether a mouse enters the smart bait box includes: setting a threshold for the magnitude of angular velocity change; when the absolute value of the angular velocity of any axis exceeds the threshold and remains so for a certain period of time, it is determined that a mouse has entered. Alternatively, analyze the amplitude, duration, and frequency components of the collected signals. If short-duration, sudden, and high-frequency signals are present, it can be determined that a mouse has entered.

[0013] This invention offers the following advantages: a smart rodent bait box control system and monitoring method for civil aviation airports. It features intelligent functions, enabling rodent detection, bait detection, and network communication. This saves significant manpower and is easily integrated into a computer system for automated management. It includes functions such as bait box location management, bait remaining quantity management, rodent activity time analysis, and rodent control effectiveness analysis. This facilitates data collection and sharing, resulting in higher and better rodent control efficiency. It is suitable for large-area locations with high rodent control requirements, such as airports, high-speed rail stations, and urban public areas. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention relates to a smart rodent bait box control system for civil aviation airports, which includes a rodent bait box controller and a detection device connected to the rodent bait box controller. The bait box controller is configured to receive alarm messages from the detection device indicating that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, a mouse has left the smart bait box, or the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, or when a set time has been reached. Upon receiving such messages, it will wake up. If the received message is an alarm indicating a mouse has entered the smart bait box or a shift or vibration, it will report the mouse entry and reset the timer to restart. If the received message is a mouse leaving the smart bait box, it will send a control command to the detection device to check the remaining bait. If the set time has been reached, it will automatically check the operating status of each device unit; if the device is functioning normally, it will reset the timer to restart. Detection device: configured to detect whether the smart bait box is open, whether a mouse enters or leaves the smart bait box, the position of the smart bait box, changes in the amount of bait, and vibration information of the smart bait box.

[0017] The bait box controller includes a 3V power supply unit, a system sleep timer control unit, a CPU control unit, a control interface unit, a system sleep wake-up unit, a Mesh network communication unit, an I / O interface, and a junction box. The 3V power supply unit is connected to the detection device via a junction box; the system sleep timer control unit is connected to the IO interface and the CPU control unit respectively; the CPU control unit is connected to the control interface unit and the IO interface respectively, and the control interface unit and the Mesh network communication unit are connected to the IO interface; the system sleep wake-up unit is connected to the CPU control unit and the IO interface respectively; the IO interface is connected to the junction box.

[0018] The detection device includes a bait box opening detector, a mouse entering the bait box detector, a mouse leaving the bait box detector, a bait box position detector, a bait quantity change detector, and a bait box vibration detector, all connected to the bait box controller.

[0019] The system uses a mesh network communication unit to send collected information to a backend user mobile app and server. The app allows monitoring of multiple bait boxes. The mesh network communication unit uses the 2.4GHz public Bluetooth frequency, which is permitted for use in airports and is unregulated. The system's normal operating current is less than 10μA, far lower than the operating current of mobile phone Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The wireless communication power meets the civil aviation airport's requirement of no more than 5 watts for radio communication power. This invention uses Bluetooth Mesh communication technology, eliminating the need for communication base stations at airports to achieve communication between all smart bait boxes.

[0020] The device is powered by a 3V power unit. Airport flight areas include parking areas, lawn areas, runway areas, taxiway areas, and patrol runway areas. The airport flight area is very large, and the smart bait box cannot be powered by traditional mains power. This invention uses two 1.5V AAA batteries, a 3V power unit, and the batteries do not need to be replaced under normal use for more than 3 years.

[0021] Furthermore, when the smart bait box lid is opened, the smart bait box communication is activated, sending an alarm message indicating the lid is open via the Mesh communication unit. This alarm continues until the lid is closed again, at which point a closed message is sent. When a mouse enters the smart bait box, the smart bait box communication is automatically activated, sending an alarm message indicating the mouse has entered via the Mesh communication unit. This information includes the time the mouse entered and its weight. When a mouse leaves the smart bait box, the smart bait box communication is automatically activated, sending information about the mouse leaving via the Mesh communication unit. This information includes the time the mouse left, the amount of bait remaining, and the amount of bait consumed.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention relates to a monitoring method for a smart rodent bait box at a civil aviation airport, which is based on the previous embodiment. After the smart rodent bait box starts working, the system initializes and checks whether the module is working properly. After initialization is completed, the rodent monitoring status is started. The monitoring method includes: Determine if the bait box controller meets the wake-up conditions. If it does, execute the following steps depending on the specific wake-up conditions: A1. The system reports to the backend system that a mouse has entered the smart bait box via the Mesh network communication unit, and enters a sleep state after the reset timer restarts. When the mouse leaves the smart bait box, the system is woken up again, and the remaining amount of bait is detected and reported to the backend via the Mesh network communication unit. A2, or the system automatically checks the working status of each device unit and reports the working status of each device to the backend system through the Mesh network communication unit. If the device status is normal, the timer is reset to start counting again. If the device is faulty, an alarm is triggered for repair.

[0023] Furthermore, the wake-up conditions include one of the following: an alarm message when a mouse enters the smart bait box, a message when a mouse leaves the smart bait box, a message when the smart bait box is displaced or vibrates, or the arrival of a set time (such as 2 hours). If the received alarm message indicates that a mouse has entered the smart bait box, or if the smart bait box has shifted or vibrated, the system will report the mouse entering the bait box and reset the timer to restart the countdown. If the received message indicates that a mouse has left the smart bait box, the system will send a control command to the detection device to check the remaining bait. If the set time has been reached, the system will automatically check the working status of each device unit. If the device status is normal, the system will reset the timer to restart the countdown.

[0024] If the remaining bait is greater than the set minimum value, the timer is reset and starts counting again. If the remaining bait is less than or equal to the set minimum value, an alarm message is reported to the backend via the Mesh network communication unit to prompt manual inspection and baiting.

[0025] Furthermore, an electronic gyroscope is integrated into the smart bait box to detect whether a mouse has entered. It mainly relies on its ability to detect small, sudden changes in angular velocity or vibrations. When the bait box is not touched and is placed stably, the angular velocity value detected by the gyroscope is close to zero (or fluctuates within a very small noise range). Slight disturbances in the environment (such as a vehicle passing by in the distance or wind blowing) may cause very weak signals, but usually with small amplitude and low frequency. When a mouse touches, climbs into, moves in the box, or bites the bait, it will produce the following effects: (1) Physical impact: The mouse's claws scratching and its body colliding with the box wall will generate instantaneous angular velocity pulses; (2) Continuous disturbance: The mouse's activities in the box (turning around, walking, biting the bait) will cause the box to produce continuous, small-amplitude, irregular changes in angular velocity. The amplitude and frequency characteristics of the angular velocity signals generated by these activities will be significantly different from background noise and environmental interference.

[0026] Therefore, the determination of whether a mouse has entered the smart bait box includes: setting a threshold for the magnitude of angular velocity change; if the absolute value of the angular velocity of any axis exceeds the threshold and remains so for a certain period of time, it is determined that a mouse has entered. Alternatively, analyze the amplitude, duration, and frequency components of the collected signals. If short-duration, sudden, and high-frequency signals are present, it can be determined that a mouse has entered.

[0027] This invention tracks the presence and weight of rats in the area where the bait boxes are placed. If no rats enter the bait box within its designated area, it indicates that the area is rat-free, the bait box is incorrectly placed, and it needs to be moved to another area. If multiple rats are detected entering the bait box multiple times within a day, it indicates a large rat population in the area, requiring more bait boxes to achieve the desired rat control effect.

[0028] If the system detects insufficient bait, it alerts staff to refill the bait box. If the remaining bait is very low within a short period, such as one night, it indicates a large number of rats in the area, requiring more bait boxes to be placed, and staff are alerted to refill the bait boxes. The monitored data is transmitted via Bluetooth Mesh communication network to a backend computer system for analysis of rat distribution, activity patterns, and rodent control effectiveness (e.g., if rats are detected entering and eating the bait daily after a period of time, it indicates the bait is ineffective and needs to be replaced with a different bait). This data is then processed in subsequent steps.

[0029] This invention also enables cascaded communication of bait boxes via a mesh communication network unit. Communication authentication uses a network password to encrypt network communication, and application communication uses an application password. When a bait box needs to communicate, it encrypts the data using both the network password and the application password. The encrypted data is then broadcast via Bluetooth. Other nearby bait boxes receive this broadcast information. Based on preset information, each receiving bait box decrypts the data and determines whether the information originates from a trusted application. If it does, the information is forwarded for the first time. The system is set to forward the information a maximum of 127 times before stopping. A bait box that has already forwarded the information will not re-forward the same information upon receiving another. Based on the number of forwards and the number of bait boxes involved in forwarding the information, the coverage area of ​​the trusted application can be determined. After being forwarded by bait boxes deployed within the system, the data ultimately reaches the computer system, completing the cascaded trusted communication.

It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and improvements, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge.
