Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging box technology, specifically to an NFC interface product packaging box and a method for counting when the box is opened. Background Technology

[0002] Counting boxes are a convenient and quick packaging method, especially suitable for products that require precise measurement and dispensing. They are usually made of paper or plastic materials and have a certain load-bearing capacity and protective performance, which can protect the contents from damage or contamination. Counting boxes are widely used in various industries, such as food, medicine, cosmetics, and electronic products. As consumers become more aware of product quality and environmental protection, the design and manufacture of counting boxes are receiving more and more attention.

[0003] Most existing product packaging boxes cannot count the number of times they are opened during use, making it impossible to directly determine whether the box has been opened or how many times it has been opened. Some packaging boxes with counting functions are often affected by surrounding magnetic fields during use, which affects the accuracy of the count. Furthermore, the electronic components of some existing counting packaging boxes are often damaged during transportation. Therefore, we propose an NFC interface product packaging box and a box opening counting method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an NFC interface product packaging box and a method for counting when the box is opened.

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an NFC interface product packaging box and an opening counting method, comprising a product packaging box body, wherein the product packaging box body includes:

[0006] The box body has a storage cavity on its top surface for placing products;

[0007] A lid, the bottom left side of which is hinged to the top left side of the box, the lid being rotatable to expose the storage cavity;

[0008] The NFC module has a first mounting cavity at the bottom right end of the housing. The outer surface of the NFC module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first mounting cavity. The NFC module communicates with an external NFC device.

[0009] A magnetic material module is fixedly connected to the edge position on the right side of the bottom surface of the cover, and the magnetic material module is used to provide a magnetic field environment;

[0010] The box opening detector module has a second mounting cavity opened at the right end of the box body above the first mounting cavity. The outer surface of the box opening detector module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting cavity. The box opening detector module is used to detect the open state of the box body.

[0011] The main controller module has a third mounting cavity located between the first and second mounting cavities on the right end of the box. The outer surface of the main controller module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third mounting cavity. The main controller module can perform counting. The main controller module is electrically connected to the box opening detector module and the NFC module.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the NFC module consists of an antenna, resonant components and an NFC chip, wherein the NFC chip has a built-in memory.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the memory is used to store pre-made NDEF data and to store the count values ​​transmitted by the main controller module.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the radio frequency section of the NFC module operates in a power-free state, but can still provide external power.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the main controller module is equipped with a battery, which is electrically connected to the NFC module, and the main controller module pre-stores magnetic field arrangement A signal data.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the magnetic material module forms a magnetic field arrangement A by arranging different magnetic pole materials, and the box-opening detector module can be converted into a Hall sensor, which can detect the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: when the signal received by the main controller module from the box opening detector module is consistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module, the main controller module determines that the product packaging box body is in an open state. At this time, the main controller module will transmit a new count value to the NFC module. When the signal received by the main controller module from the box opening detector module is inconsistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module, the main controller module determines that the product packaging box body is in a closed state.

[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention: when the signal received by the main controller module from the box open detector module is consistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module, the count value of the main controller module is modified. After the main controller module modifies the new count value, it will update the count value in the NFC module memory.

[0019] As a further aspect of the present invention: when the NFC module receives the count value transmitted by the main controller module, the memory stores the updated count value of the main controller module.

[0020] A method for counting the number of boxes opened in an NFC-enabled product packaging box includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: When the user opens the lid, there will be relative movement between the box and the lid. This will also cause relative movement between the magnetic material module and the box opening detector module. The magnetic material module will form a special magnetic field, namely magnetic field arrangement A.

[0022] Step 2: The box opening detector module will detect the magnetic field generated by the magnetic material module and transmit the detected magnetic field signal data to the main controller module.

[0023] Step 3: After receiving the signal transmitted by the box opening detector module, the main controller module will compare the signal data transmitted by the box opening detector module with the magnetic field arrangement A signal data pre-stored in the main controller module.

[0024] Step 4: When the signal transmitted by the box opening detector module matches the pre-stored magnetic field arrangement A signal data, the count value of the main controller module will be updated and the new count value will be transmitted to the NFC module.

[0025] Step 5: When the NFC module receives the count value transmitted by the main controller module, the NFC module will update the value stored in the memory.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention by adopting the above technical solution are as follows:

[0027] This invention utilizes the cooperation between an NFC module, a magnetic material module, an unboxing detector module, and a main controller module. The magnetic material module forms a special magnetic field arrangement. When the lid is opened, the unboxing detector module identifies this magnetic field arrangement and transmits a signal to the main controller module, causing the main controller module's count value to change. The new count is then stored in the NFC module, enabling the counting of the number of times the product packaging box is opened.

[0028] This invention incorporates a magnetic material module that forms a fixed magnetic field code by arranging different magnetic pole materials. The box opening detector module can identify this magnetic field code, ensuring that the counting is not affected by changes in the magnetic field caused by surrounding magnetic materials during the box opening process. This results in more accurate counting results and greater practicality.

[0029] This invention securely connects the NFC module, magnetic material module, box opening detector module, and main controller module within a cavity inside the box, thus effectively protecting these fragile electronic components during use. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Magnetic material module 4 is fixedly connected to the edge position on the right side of the bottom surface of the cover 2. Magnetic material module 4 is used to provide a magnetic field environment.

[0040] The box opening detector module 5 has a second mounting cavity at the right end of the box body 1 above the first mounting cavity.

[0042] In this embodiment, the NFC module 3 can be installed in the cavity of the housing 1 or the cover 2 to realize contactless NFC communication with external NFC devices. The NFC module 3 can receive signals from external NFC devices and then respond to the specified data in the memory to improve data interaction capability. The NFC module 3 can be set on the housing 1 or the cover 2 for interacting with external data, obtaining working energy from the outside, and storing data sent by the main controller module 6. The NFC module 3 is in a passive working state. Communication is initiated by the external NFC device. The NFC module 3 responds to the command. While communicating, it obtains the energy required for work from the working field and can also provide energy to other modules. The internal memory is used to store the counting value related data sent by the main controller module 6.

[0043] The NFC module 3 consists of an antenna, resonant components, and an NFC chip, which has a built-in memory.

[0044] In this embodiment, the memory is used to store preset NDEF data and the count value transmitted by the main controller module 6.

[0045] In this embodiment, the NFC module 3 can extract energy from the signal of an external NFC device, convert it into electrical energy for its own use, and at the same time provide power to other modules to improve the overall standby time.

[0046] The radio frequency section of NFC module 3 operates in a power-free state but can also provide external power.

[0047] Specifically, through the cooperation between the NFC module 3, the magnetic material module 4, the box opening detector module 5, and the main controller module 6, when the lid 2 is opened, the magnetic material module 4 will form a special magnetic field arrangement. The box opening detector module 5 will identify the magnetic field module and transmit a signal to the main controller module 6 after identification, causing the main controller module's count value to change and storing the new count in the NFC module 3, thus realizing the ability to count the number of times the product packaging box is opened.

[0048] Example 2, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: including a product packaging box body, the product packaging box body comprising:

[0049] Box 1, with a storage cavity 11 for placing products on the top surface of box 1;

[0050] The lid 2 is hinged to the bottom left side of the box 1 and the top left side of the box 1. The lid 2 can be rotated to expose the storage cavity 11.

[0051] The NFC module 3 has a first mounting cavity at the bottom right end of the housing 1. The outer surface of the NFC module 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first mounting cavity. The NFC module 3 communicates with external NFC devices.

[0052] Magnetic material module 4 is fixedly connected to the edge position on the right side of the bottom surface of the cover 2. Magnetic material module 4 is used to provide a magnetic field environment.

[0053] The box opening detector module 5 has a second mounting cavity at the right end of the box body 1 above the first mounting cavity. The outer surface of the box opening detector module 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting cavity. The box opening detector module 5 is used to detect the opening status of the box body 1.

[0054] The main controller module 6 has a third mounting cavity located between the first and second mounting cavities at the right end of the housing 1. The outer surface of the main controller module 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third mounting cavity. The main controller module 6 can perform counting. The main controller module 6 is electrically connected to the box opening detector module 5 and the NFC module 3.

[0055] In this embodiment, the main controller module 6 is equipped with a battery, which is electrically connected to the NFC module 3. The main controller module 6 also has pre-stored magnetic field arrangement A signal data.

[0056] In this embodiment, in this optional embodiment, the cover 2 is snapped or detachably connected to the box 1. The magnetic material module 4 is used to generate a fixed magnetic field arrangement for detection by the box opening detection module. The magnetic material module 4 is composed of n magnetic materials (n≥1), and the magnetic field polarity of each magnetic material on the same surface is opposite, forming a fixed magnetic field arrangement. The magnetic material module 4 is set on the box 1 or the cover 2, and the box opening detection module is set in the corresponding position of the box 1 and the cover 2 inside the packaging. When the cover 2 moves, the magnetic material module 4 and the box opening detection module will move relative to each other. The box opening detection module will pass over the surface of the magnetic material module 4, so that the box opening detection module can detect the arrangement signal of the magnetic material module 4. The magnetic material module 4 forms a fixed magnetic field code through the arrangement of materials with different magnetic field polarities to improve the anti-interference ability. The magnetic material module 4 is installed inside the cover 2 or the box 1 and does not directly contact the outside. The change of magnetic field indicates the opening status to improve durability.

[0057] The magnetic material module 4 forms a magnetic field arrangement A by arranging different magnetic pole materials. The box-opening detector module 5 can be converted into a Hall sensor, which can detect the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module 4.

[0058] Specifically, by setting up a magnetic material module 4, which forms a fixed magnetic field code by arranging different magnetic pole materials, the box opening detector module can identify the magnetic field code, so that the counting will not be affected by the magnetic field being changed by the surrounding magnetic materials during the opening process, thus making the counting results more accurate and more practical.

[0059] Example 3, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: including a product packaging box body, the product packaging box body comprising:

[0060] Box 1, with a storage cavity 11 for placing products on the top surface of box 1;

[0061] The lid 2 is hinged to the bottom left side of the box 1 and the top left side of the box 1. The lid 2 can be rotated to expose the storage cavity 11.

[0062] The NFC module 3 has a first mounting cavity at the bottom right end of the housing 1. The outer surface of the NFC module 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first mounting cavity. The NFC module 3 communicates with external NFC devices.

[0063] Magnetic material module 4 is fixedly connected to the edge position on the right side of the bottom surface of the cover 2. Magnetic material module 4 is used to provide a magnetic field environment.

[0064] The box opening detector module 5 has a second mounting cavity at the right end of the box body 1 above the first mounting cavity. The outer surface of the box opening detector module 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting cavity. The box opening detector module 5 is used to detect the opening status of the box body 1.

[0065] The main controller module 6 has a third mounting cavity located between the first and second mounting cavities at the right end of the housing 1. The outer surface of the main controller module 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third mounting cavity. The main controller module 6 can perform counting. The main controller module 6 is electrically connected to the box opening detector module 5 and the NFC module 3.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the signal received by the main controller module 6 from the box opening detector module 5 is consistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module 4, it determines that the product packaging box body is in an open state. At this time, the main controller module 6 will transmit a new count value to the NFC module 3. When the signal received by the main controller module 6 from the box opening detector module 5 is inconsistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module 4, it determines that the product packaging box body is in a closed state.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the box opening detection module detects the signal of the magnetic material module 4, the internal processing converts it into a signal of magnetic polarity and transmits it to the main controller module 6. After receiving the signal, the main controller module 6 compares it with the signal corresponding to the preset magnetic material module 4. If they match, it is a valid box opening signal; otherwise, it is ignored.

[0068] When the signal received by the main controller module 6 from the box open detector module 5 is consistent with the magnetic field arrangement A formed by the magnetic material module 4, the count value of the main controller module 6 is modified. After the main controller module 6 modifies the new count value, it will update the count value in the memory of the NFC module 3.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the NFC module 3 receives a Class A signal transmitted by the main controller module 6, the memory stores the updated count value of the main controller module 6.

[0070] Specifically, by fixing the NFC module 3, magnetic material module 4, box opening detector module 5, and main controller module 6 inside the cavity of the box 1, these vulnerable electronic components can be well protected during use.

[0071] Working principle:

[0072] Step 1: When the user opens the lid, there will be relative movement between the box and the lid. This will also cause relative movement between the magnetic material module and the box opening detector module. The magnetic material module will form a special magnetic field, namely magnetic field arrangement A.

[0073] Step 2: The box opening detector module will detect the magnetic field generated by the magnetic material module and transmit the detected magnetic field signal data to the main controller module.

[0074] Step 3: After receiving the signal transmitted by the box opening detector module, the main controller module will compare the signal data transmitted by the box opening detector module with the magnetic field arrangement A signal data pre-stored in the main controller module.

[0075] Step 4: When the signal transmitted by the box opening detector module matches the pre-stored magnetic field arrangement A signal data, the count value of the main controller module will be updated and the new count value will be transmitted to the NFC module.

[0076] Step 5: When the NFC module receives the count value transmitted by the main controller module, the NFC module will update the value stored in the memory. At this point, the entire workflow is complete.
