[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5, a metering instrument management and control system based on an intelligent turnover box, including a terminal 20 and an intelligent turnover box 10. The intelligent turnover box 10 includes a box body 11 and a main control circuit board 12, a reading module 13, an identity information input module 14 and an electronic lock 15 arranged on the box body 11; a processor 16 and an opening and closing state sensor 17, a communication module 18, a clock module 19 and a storage module are welded on the main control circuit board 12, and the reading module 13, the identity information input module 14 and the electronic lock 15 are all connected to the processor 16. The identity information input module 14 can be a fingerprint acquisition module, a keyboard input module, or a touch display screen, a virtual keyboard is displayed on the touch display screen, and identity information can be input through the keyboard or the virtual keyboard. The identity information input module 14 collects the identity information of the operator, such as fingerprint information or the operator's work number, password, etc. The processor 16 verifies the identity information, and the processor 16 controls the electronic lock 15 to unlock. The open / closed state sensor 17 can be a door magnetic sensor or a posture sensor. When the posture sensor is selected, it is installed on the lid of the box 11. Under the action of gravity, the posture sensor will continue to have an acceleration in one or more directions. According to the angle between this acceleration and other axes, an inclination angle can be determined. Therefore, the posture sensor can determine whether the lid of the box 11 is open or closed. The open / closed state sensor 17 senses the open / closed state of the smart turnover box and sends the open / closed state information to the processor 16. When the processor 16 receives the open state information, the reading module 13 is prohibited from scanning the measuring instruments in the box. When the processor 16 receives the closed state information, the reading module 13 is started to read the measuring instruments in the box and obtain the measuring instrument information in the box. The reading module 13 can use an ultra-high frequency RFID reading module 13, and the measuring instrument is fixed with an electronic tag. The measuring instrument information can be the asset number of the measuring instrument. At the same time, the processor 16 queries the clock module 19 to obtain the current time information; the processor 16 stores the measuring instrument information, the current time information and the identity information of the operator in the storage module 110; the terminal 20 sends a query instruction to the intelligent turnover box 10 through the communication module 18, the processor 16 queries the storage module 110 and feeds back the relevant information of the measuring instrument in the box, and displays the relevant information of the measuring instrument on the terminal 20. The terminal 20 includes a mobile phone, a handheld terminal, a PC, etc.

[0032] See also Figure 7When the processor 16 stores the scanned measuring instrument information, the processor 16 also compares the currently scanned measuring instrument information with the last stored measuring instrument information. If there is a new measuring instrument, the processor 16 also records the current time information as the entry time of the measuring instrument when storing the measuring instrument information; the processor 16 monitors whether the storage time of each measuring instrument exceeds the preset pre-collection overdue threshold value according to the entry time. If so, an overdue alarm message is sent to the terminal 20, and a local reminder, such as light indication, sound prompt, etc., can also be made through the indication module 120 of the intelligent turnover box 10. The pre-collection overdue refers to the time when the measuring instrument has not been used after entering the box for more than the preset pre-collection overdue threshold value. Long-term storage of measuring instruments may lead to performance degradation, such as low battery in the instrument, etc. The overdue alarm message can promptly remind the operator to handle the measuring device in the box and monitor the storage status of the measuring instrument in the box in real time.

[0033] When the terminal 20 queries the measuring instrument information in the intelligent turnover box 10, the feedback measuring instrument information may include the asset number of the measuring instrument, the time of entry into the box, the current operator information, etc.

[0034] Generally, each smart turnover box 10 will provide a unique authorization code. The terminal 20 sets the binding between the turnover box and the account according to the authorization code, stores the account information in the storage module 110 of the smart turnover box 10, and can also save the fingerprint information of the operator corresponding to the account; the terminal 20 can query the relevant information of the smart turnover box 10 bound to the account and receive information from the smart turnover box 10 bound to the account. Each user account can be bound to multiple smart turnover boxes 10, and the name of the turnover box bound to the login account, the current user, etc. can be displayed on the terminal 20. The smart turnover box 10 can also provide a dedicated version for a specific person according to different application scenarios. When it is necessary to operate a certain smart turnover box 10, click on the corresponding turnover box name and connect the communication module 18 of the turnover box. Generally, the communication module 18 can use a 4G communication module, a Bluetooth module, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0035] See also Figure 8, the control system can also conduct regular inventory of the measuring instruments in the box, timely detect abnormal changes in the measuring instruments and notify the operator. Specifically: the clock module 19 wakes up the processor 16 according to the user-set wake-up cycle, and the processor 16 queries the open / closed state information of the intelligent turnover box sensed by the open / closed state sensor 17. When the turnover box is in a closed state, the reading module 13 is started to read the measuring instruments in the box and obtain the measuring instrument information in the box. The processor 16 queries the clock module 19 to obtain the current time information, and stores the measuring instrument information and the current time information in the storage module 110. At the same time, the currently scanned measuring instrument information is compared with the last stored measuring instrument information. If there is inconsistency, the measuring instrument abnormality alarm information is sent to the terminal 20. If it is a new measuring instrument, the current time information is recorded as the entry time of the new measuring instrument.

[0036] The control system can also locate the position of the turnover box, and can view and trace the movement trajectory of the measuring instruments in the box in real time. Specifically, the smart turnover box 10 also includes a positioning module 160, and the positioning module 160 is connected to the processor 16 in communication; the opening and closing state sensor 17 is a posture sensor, and the opening and closing state sensor 17 senses the displacement of the smart turnover box 10, and sends a displacement notification message to the processor 16, and the processor 16 starts the positioning module 160, and the positioning module 160 reports the position information to the processor 16 in real time, and the processor 16 stores the position information and forms a trajectory record; the processor 16 reports the position information to the terminal 20 in real time, and the terminal 20 displays the obtained position information in the form of a map on the terminal 20; the terminal 20 can also query the trajectory record of the smart turnover box 10 through a query instruction.

[0037] Preferably, see Figure 6, the intelligent turnover box 10 also includes a power supply and battery power supply module 130, which supplies power to other modules in the system; the processor 16 includes an ARM processor 161 and a low-power processor 162, the reading module 13, the communication module 18, the low-power processor 162 and the power supply and battery power supply module 130 are all connected to the ARM processor 161, and the electronic lock 15, the opening and closing state sensor 17, the clock module 19 and the identity information input module 14 are all connected to the low-power processor 162. A high-performance ARM processor 161 and a low-power processor 162 are used to reduce the overall power consumption. The average operating power consumption of the ARM processor 161 is generally more than tens of milliamperes, and the STM32F0 series processor 16 can be selected; the power consumption of the low-power processor 162 is at the microampere level, and the chips that can be selected include: 1) STM8L series processors, about 300 microamperes when running; 2) MSP430G2 series processors, about 200 microamperes when running. When not in operation, for example, when the turnover box is placed statically on the cabinet frame, the ARM processor 161 is in a dormant state, and the positioning module 160, the communication module 18, and the reading module 13 are also in a dormant state. The low-power processor 162 always maintains the working state, and the identity information input module 14, the opening and closing state sensor 17, the electronic lock 15, and the clock module 19 are communicated and connected with the low-power processor 162, which can monitor the state information of the box 11 in real time while reducing the power consumption of the system, and greatly prolong the working time of the battery. Specifically, when the low-power processor 162 senses that the turnover box has changed to a use state, for example, when the low-power processor 162 receives information from the identity information input module 14, the opening and closing state sensor 17, and the clock module 19 (the turnover box can be awakened periodically by the clock module 19), the ARM processor 161 is triggered to change from a dormant state to an awake state and start working.

[0038] Preferably, a temperature and humidity module 140 for collecting the temperature and humidity in the box is also welded on the main control circuit board 12, and the temperature and humidity module 140 sends the collected data to the low-power processor 162, and then sends it to the ARM processor 161, and saves it in the storage module 110. When the temperature or humidity exceeds the corresponding threshold, the ARM processor 161 sends an alarm message, which can be sent to the outside through the communication module 18.

[0039] Preferably, the intelligent turnover box 10 is also fixed with a display module 150, which can be a display screen or a touch screen. The display module 150 is connected to the ARM processor 161 for communication via a connector. The display module 150 can be used to display temperature and humidity information, lid opening and closing status information, data upload status information, etc. When the display module 150 is a touch screen, keyboard information can also be displayed on the screen, and the operator can also manually enter identity information for identity verification.

[0040] When the smart turnover box 10 is on the local cabinet, the administrator can also connect to the local interface on the turnover box, such as the serial port and USB interface, on the local management device, and use the key to query the usage of the smart turnover box 10 to monitor the measuring instruments in all smart turnover boxes 10.

[0041] The smart turnover box 10 can be charged by wire or wirelessly. Wireless charging requires the use of a matching charging cabinet. When the turnover box has a power alarm, the user can place it on the charging cabinet and charge it wirelessly through the induction coil. The indicator module 120 is set on the smart turnover box 10 to display the remaining power and indicate whether it is in a charging state. During the charging process, the display module 150 prompts the charging status; if a connection is established with the terminal 20 at this time, the turnover box will send a charging message to the terminal 20. After charging is completed, the display module 150 prompts that charging is complete. When the charging power is disconnected, the display module 150 displays the power normally; when charging is completed, when the turnover box establishes a connection with the terminal 20 for the first time, the turnover box will send a message to the terminal 20 indicating the time of the most recent charging completion.

[0042] It should be noted that an APP for information interaction with the smart turnover box 10 needs to be run on the terminal 20, which is a well-known technology in the art.

[0043] The present invention provides a measuring instrument management and control system based on an intelligent turnover box, which enables the intelligent turnover box 10 to intelligently record the turnover box operator and the measuring instruments used, eliminating tedious registration for receipt and improving the emergency repair response speed; enables the intelligent turnover box 10 to automatically take inventory of the measuring instruments stored in the box, promptly discover the increase or decrease of the measuring instruments, and automatically monitor whether the pre-stored measuring instruments in the box have expired; enables the terminal 20 to monitor the measuring instruments in the box in real time, promptly understand the information of the measuring instruments in the box and promptly discover abnormalities of the measuring instruments in the box.

Step 2, when the smart turnover box 10 is opened, the recognition module 13 in the box is prohibited from scanning the measuring instruments in the box, and the operator operates the measuring instruments in the box; when the smart turnover box 10 is closed, the recognition module 13 in the box is started to scan the measuring instruments in the box to obtain the measuring instrument information in the box. Step 3, the measuring instrument information, current time information and the identity information of the operator are stored in the smart turnover box 10. Step 4, the terminal 20 sends a query instruction to the smart turnover box 10, and the smart turnover box 10 feeds back the relevant information of the measuring instruments in the box, and the relevant information of the measuring instruments is displayed on the terminal 20.

[0046] The identification and reading module 13 may be an ultra-high frequency RFID identification and reading module 13, and an electronic tag is fixed on the measuring instrument.

[0047] Preferably, see Figure 1, the intelligent turnover box 10 also includes a processor 16, an identity information input module 14, a communication module 18, an opening and closing state sensor 17, a storage module 110 and a clock module 19; the recognition module 13, the electronic lock 15, the identity information input module 14, the communication module 18, the opening and closing state sensor 17, the storage module 110 and the clock module 19 are all connected to the processor 16 for communication. The identity information input module 14 can be a fingerprint collection module, a keyboard input module, or a touch screen display, on which a virtual keyboard is displayed, and identity information can be input through the keyboard. The identity information input module 14 collects the identity information of the operator, such as fingerprint information or the operator's work number, password, etc. The recognition module 13 can use an ultra-high frequency RFID recognition module 13. The specific steps of step 1 are as follows: the identity information input module 14 collects the identity information of the operator, the processor 16 verifies the identity information, and after the verification, the processor 16 controls the electronic lock 15 to unlock; the specific steps of step 2 are as follows: the opening and closing state sensor 17 senses that the turnover box is opened, the processor 16 prohibits the identification module 13 from scanning the measuring instruments in the box, and the operator operates the measuring instruments in the box; when the opening and closing state sensor 17 senses that the turnover box is closed, the processor 16 starts the identification module 13 to read the measuring instruments in the box and obtains the information in the box. The measuring instrument information is sent to the processor 16; the step 3 is specifically: the processor 16 queries the clock module 19 to obtain the current time information; the processor 16 stores the measuring instrument information, the current time information and the identity information of the operator in the storage module 110; the step 4 is specifically: the terminal 20 sends a query instruction to the smart turnover box 10 through the communication module 18, the processor 16 queries the storage module 110 and feeds back the relevant information of the measuring instrument in the box, and displays the relevant information of the measuring instrument on the terminal 20.

[0048] See also Figure 7 , step 3 also includes: when storing the scanned measuring instrument information, the processor 16 also compares the currently scanned measuring instrument information with the measuring instrument information stored last time. If there is a new measuring instrument, the processor 16 also records the current time information as the entry time of the measuring instrument when storing the measuring instrument information. For each new measuring instrument that is put into the box, the entry time is recorded. The processor 16 monitors whether the storage time of each measuring instrument exceeds the preset pre-collection overdue threshold value according to the entry time. If so, an overdue alarm message is sent to the terminal 20. The pre-collection overdue refers to the time when the measuring instrument has not been used after entering the box for more than the preset pre-collection overdue threshold value. Long-term storage of measuring instruments may lead to performance degradation, such as low battery in the instrument, etc. The overdue alarm message can promptly remind the operator to handle the measuring devices in the box and monitor the storage status of the measuring instruments in the box in real time.

[0049] When the terminal 20 queries the measuring instrument information in the intelligent turnover box 10, the feedback measuring instrument information may include the asset number of the measuring instrument, the time of entry into the box, the most recent operator information, etc.

Each user account can be bound to multiple smart turnover boxes 10, and the name of the turnover box bound to the login account, the current user, etc. can be displayed on the terminal 20. The smart turnover box 10 can also provide a dedicated version for a specific person according to different application scenarios. When it is necessary to operate a certain smart turnover box 10, click on the corresponding turnover box name and connect the communication module 18 of the turnover box. Generally, the communication module 18 can use a 4G communication module, a Bluetooth module, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0051] See also Figure 8 , the control method also includes a regular inventory step, which is to conduct regular inventory of the measuring instruments in the box, timely discover abnormal changes in the measuring instruments and notify the operator. Specifically: the operator sets the wake-up cycle of the intelligent turnover box 10 through the terminal 20, the processor 16 receives the wake-up cycle, stores it and writes it into the clock module 19, and the clock module 19 wakes up the processor 16 regularly according to the wake-up cycle set by the user. The processor 16 queries the open / closed state information of the turnover box sensed by the open / closed state sensor 17. When the turnover box is in a closed state, the reading module 13 is started to read the measuring instruments in the box and obtain the measuring instrument information in the box. The processor 16 compares the currently scanned measuring instrument information with the last stored measuring instrument information. If there is inconsistency, the terminal 20 sends a measuring instrument abnormality alarm information. If it is a new measuring instrument, the current time information is recorded as the entry time of the new measuring instrument. While performing regular inventory, a pre-collection overdue judgment can also be performed. The processor 16 monitors whether the storage time of each measuring instrument exceeds a preset pre-collection overdue threshold based on the box entry time. If so, an overdue alarm message is sent to the terminal 20.

[0052] The intelligent turnover box 10 also includes a positioning module 160, which is welded on the main control circuit board 12, and the positioning template is in communication with the processor 16; the control method also includes a track recording step: the opening and closing state sensor 17 senses the displacement of the intelligent turnover box 10, sends displacement notification information to the processor 16, the processor 16 starts the positioning module 160, the positioning module 160 reports the position information to the processor 16 in real time, the processor 16 stores the position information and forms a track record; the processor 16 reports the position information to the terminal 20 in real time, and the terminal 20 displays the obtained position information in the form of a map on the terminal 20; the terminal 20 can also query the track record of the intelligent turnover box 10 through a query instruction. The control system can also locate the movement trajectory of the turnover box, and can view and trace the movement trajectory of the measuring instruments in the box in real time.

[0053] Preferably, see Figure 6, the intelligent turnover box 10 also includes a power supply and battery power supply module 130, which supplies power to other modules in the system; the processor 16 includes an ARM processor 161 and a low-power processor 162, the reading module 13, the communication module 18, the low-power processor 162 and the power supply and battery power supply module 130 are all connected to the ARM processor 161, and the electronic lock 15, the opening and closing state sensor 17, the clock module 19 and the identity information input module 14 are all connected to the low-power processor 162. A high-performance ARM processor 161 and a low-power processor 162 are used to reduce the overall power consumption. The average operating power consumption of the ARM processor 161 is generally more than tens of milliamperes, and the STM32F0 series processor 16 can be selected; the power consumption of the low-power processor 162 is at the microampere level, and the chips that can be selected include: 1) STM8L series processor 16, when running, about 300 microamperes; 2) MSP430G2 series processor 16, when running, about 200 microamperes. When not in operation, for example, when the turnover box is placed statically on the cabinet frame, the ARM processor 161 is in a dormant state, and the positioning module 160, the communication module 18, and the reading module 13 are also in a dormant state. The low-power processor 162 always remains in operation, and the fingerprint module, the opening and closing state sensor 17, the electronic lock 15, and the clock module 19 are connected to the low-power processor 162 for communication, so that the status information of the box 11 can be monitored in real time while reducing the power consumption of the system, and the working time of the battery is greatly extended. Specifically, when the low-power processor 162 senses that the intelligent turnover box 10 has changed to a use state, for example, when the low-power processor 162 receives information from the fingerprint module, the opening and closing state sensor 17, and the clock module 19 (the turnover box can be awakened periodically by the clock module 19), the ARM processor 161 is triggered to change from a dormant state to an awake state and start working.

[0054] Preferably, a temperature and humidity module 140 for collecting the temperature and humidity in the box is also welded on the main control circuit board 12, and the temperature and humidity module 140 sends the collected data to the low-power processor 162, and then sends it to the ARM processor 161, and saves it in the storage module 110. When the temperature or humidity exceeds the corresponding threshold, the ARM processor 161 sends an alarm message, which can be sent to the outside through the communication module 18.

[0055] Preferably, the intelligent turnover box 10 is also fixed with a display module 150, which can be a display screen or a touch screen. The display module 150 is connected to the ARM processor 161 for communication via a connector. The display module 150 can be used to display temperature and humidity information, lid opening and closing status information, data upload status information, etc. When the display module 150 is a touch screen, keyboard information can also be displayed on the screen, and the operator can also manually enter identity information for identity verification.

[0056] When the smart turnover box 10 is on the local cabinet, the administrator can also connect to the local interface on the turnover box, such as the serial port and USB interface, on the local management device, and use the key to query the usage of the smart turnover box 10 to monitor the measuring instruments in all smart turnover boxes 10.

[0057] The smart turnover box 10 can be charged by wire or wirelessly. Wireless charging requires the use of a matching charging cabinet. When the turnover box has a power alarm, the user can place it on the charging cabinet and charge it wirelessly through the induction coil. The indicator module 120 is set on the smart turnover box 10 to display the remaining power and indicate whether it is in a charging state. During the charging process, the display module 150 prompts the charging status; if a connection is established with the terminal 20 at this time, the turnover box will send a charging message to the terminal 20. After charging is completed, the display module 150 prompts that charging is complete. When the charging power is disconnected, the display module 150 displays the power normally; when charging is completed, when the turnover box establishes a connection with the terminal 20 for the first time, the turnover box will send a message to the terminal 20 indicating the time of the most recent charging completion.

[0058] The present invention provides a measuring instrument control method based on an intelligent turnover box, which enables the intelligent turnover box 10 to intelligently record the turnover box operator and the measuring instruments used, eliminating tedious registration for receipt and improving the emergency repair response speed; enables the intelligent turnover box 10 to automatically count the measuring instruments stored in the box, promptly discover the increase or decrease of the measuring instruments, and automatically monitor whether the measuring instruments in the box are overdue; enables the terminal 20 to monitor the measuring instruments in the box in real time, promptly understand the information of the measuring instruments in the box and promptly discover the abnormality of the measuring instruments in the box.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
