BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0052] Figure 1 A flow chart of the cycle packaging life management method provided by the present invention;
[0053] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the recycling packaging life management system provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for managing the life of a recycled packaging, which includes the following specific steps:
[0057] Step S1: Obtain basic information and usage information of the recyclable packaging, wherein the basic information of the recyclable packaging includes the weight, volume and model of the recyclable packaging, and the usage information of the recyclable packaging includes the usage time of the recyclable packaging, the load usage time of the recyclable packaging and the usage environment of the recyclable packaging.
[0058] In this embodiment, weight and volume are both in international units, models can use universal models, and the recycling packaging usage time is the time from the beginning of the recycling packaging use, the load usage time is the time used when loading goods, and the recycling packaging usage environment can be divided according to the temperature of the installation environment and the humidity of the environment.
[0059] In this embodiment, basic information and usage information of recycled packaging are obtained, specifically including:
[0060] Obtain basic information about recycled packaging through weighing, measuring and visual inspection;
[0061] The data collection device of the pre-deployed data collection node collects data on the recycled packaging to obtain the usage information of the recycled packaging.
[0062] In this embodiment, the data collection node includes at least any one of the node events at the operation end, the user end, the logistics end, and the receiving end.
[0063] In this embodiment, the node events of the operation end include but are not limited to packaging warehousing, packaging maintenance, packaging cleaning, and packaging shipping;
[0064] User-side node events include but are not limited to packaging warehousing, product packaging, product warehousing, and product delivery;
[0065] Node events on the logistics side include but are not limited to goods entering the warehouse, distribution routes, goods containerization, goods warehousing, and goods leaving the warehouse;
[0066] Node events at the receiving end include but are not limited to goods entering the warehouse, product assembly, packaging off-line storage, and packaging recycling and outbound delivery.
[0067] In this embodiment of the present invention, a host computer is deployed on the operations side, and data collection devices are deployed on the supply side, operations side, user side, logistics side, and receiving side. Each recyclable package has a unique digital identity. When any recyclable package passes through any data collection node, the data collection node completes data collection for that recyclable package, including identity recognition and node time recording. This precisely records the specific operations completed by a recyclable package at a specific time, and the relevant data is transmitted to the host computer in real time.
[0068] The digital identity of recycled packaging utilizes a "three-in-one" combination of RFID tags, barcodes, and QR codes. To improve the accuracy and convenience of recycled packaging data collection, RFID tags are primarily used for data collection and identification. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency for contactless, two-way data communication. RFID uses radio frequency to read and write to recording media (electronic tags or radio frequency cards) to achieve target identification and data exchange. RFID systems consist of a reader, an electronic tag, and a data management system. RFID can be categorized into three types based on the tag's power supply method: passive, active, and semi-active.
[0069] This design utilizes passive RFID technology. The electronic tag receives microwave signals from a reader and uses electromagnetic induction coils to temporarily power itself, completing the information exchange. By eliminating the power supply system, passive RFID products can be centimeters or even smaller. They also feature a simple structure, low cost, minimal failure rate, and a long service life.
[0070] Step S2: determining a lifespan threshold of the recyclable packaging based on basic information of the recyclable packaging;
[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, determining the lifespan threshold of the recyclable packaging based on the basic information of the recyclable packaging specifically includes:
[0072] Comparing the basic information of the recyclable package with the basic information of all recyclable packages in a database, and identifying a recyclable package in the database as the most similar recyclable package based on the comparison result;
[0073] The lifespan threshold of the most similar recyclable package is used as the lifespan threshold of the recyclable package.
[0074] In this embodiment, the basic information of all recyclable packages in the database includes their weight, volume and model. When comparing, the weight, volume and model are compared first, and the comparison results are arranged in descending order according to the similarity. When the error of the highest-ranked recyclable package is within the set value, the life threshold of the highest-ranked recyclable package is used as the life threshold of the recyclable package. When the error is greater than the set value, an alarm message is issued to remind the user. At this time, the user needs to set the life threshold as the life threshold of the recyclable package.
[0075] Regarding the calculation of similarity, for example: First, ensure that each record in the database contains basic information about the recycled packaging, such as weight (unit: kilograms), volume (unit: cubic meters) and model (format: string), and enter this basic information in a unified format to facilitate subsequent data processing and comparison.
[0076] Different weights are assigned to weight, volume, and model. For example, weight accounts for 40%, volume accounts for 30%, and model accounts for 30%. This setting reflects the importance of each attribute in different application scenarios. and , its similarity It can be calculated by the following formula:
[0077] ;
[0078] in , , are the weights of weight, volume and model respectively, is the maximum weight of the recycled packaging in the database, is the maximum volume of the circular package in the database, Is the model matching degree, if the models are the same, , otherwise 0, and Recyclable packaging and weight, and Recyclable packaging and volume.
[0079] Using the above formula, the system calculates the similarity between the recycled package to be processed and all recycled packages in the database, sorting them from highest to lowest similarity. It then checks the error between the top-ranked recycled package and the next package to be processed to determine if it is within a set value. If the error is within the set value, the lifespan threshold of the top-ranked recycled package is used. If the error exceeds the set value, an alarm is generated, prompting the user to manually adjust the threshold. Users can refer to the information provided by the system for the most similar packages and enter a customized lifespan threshold based on their actual needs.
[0080] Step S3: Calculating the usage time of the recyclable packaging based on the usage information of the recyclable packaging;
[0081] In an embodiment of the present invention, the calculating of the usage time of the recyclable packaging based on the usage information of the recyclable packaging specifically includes:
[0082] Determining the total load usage time of the recyclable package based on the load usage time of the recyclable package;
[0083] matching the environmental use coefficient of the recyclable packaging based on the use environment of the recyclable packaging;
[0084] The total environmental load usage time of the recyclable packaging is calculated using the matched environmental usage coefficient and the load usage time.
[0085] In this embodiment, considering that ambient temperature, humidity, and loading conditions during logistics significantly impact the actual service life of reusable packaging, weighting of the relevant data can more accurately reflect the lifespan of reusable packaging. For example, the weighting coefficient for normal loading duration is 1, the weighting coefficient for high-temperature loading duration is 1.2, the weighting coefficient for low-temperature and high-humidity loading duration is 1.4, and the weighting coefficient for high-temperature and high-humidity loading duration is 1.6.
[0086] Alternatively, the normal load can be positioned at a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 50%. The weighting coefficient of the normal load duration is 1. When the temperature increases or decreases by 5°C, the weighting coefficient increases by 0.1. When the humidity increases or decreases by 5%, the weighting coefficient increases by 0.1. For example, the weighting coefficient of the load duration when the temperature is 30°C and the humidity is 55% is 1.2, and the weighting coefficient of the load duration when the temperature is 25°C and the humidity is 45% is 1.1.
[0087] The above are all examples, and the specific coefficients need to be determined based on actual conditions.
[0088] For example, assuming that the empty load time, normal load time, high temperature load time, low temperature and high humidity load time, and high temperature and high humidity load time of a certain recyclable package are A, B, C, D, and E respectively, after weighted processing, the calculation formula for the total usage time T1 should be: T1=A+B+C+D+E, the total load usage time T2=B+C+D+E, and the total environmental load usage time T3=B+1.2C+1.4D+1.6E.
[0089] Step S4: Compare the calculated usage time of the recycling package with the life threshold of the recycling package to obtain a comparison analysis result;
[0090] If the usage time of the recycled packaging is less than or equal to the lifespan threshold, the recycled packaging is used normally;
[0091] If the usage time of the recyclable packaging exceeds the life threshold, an alarm will be issued to remind the recyclable packaging to be recycled.
[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, accurately monitoring and evaluating the relationship between its usage time and life threshold is a key link in ensuring packaging safety and efficiency. This process is refined into comparing and analyzing the total usage time, total load usage time, and total environmental load usage time of the recycled packaging with the corresponding life threshold to achieve more accurate risk warning and resource optimization.
[0093] Specifically, the lifespan of recycled packaging encompasses three key dimensions: total usage time, total load usage time, and total environmental load usage time. Each dimension corresponds to the cumulative usage of recycled packaging under different conditions, reflecting its durability under time, load, and environmental factors.
[0094] The total usage time refers to the cumulative time since the recycled packaging was put into use, regardless of whether it was loaded or not. This indicator is directly related to the aging rate and structural stability of the packaging material and is the basis for evaluating the overall durability of recycled packaging.
[0095] Total load time is the time a cyclical package spends under load. Because load accelerates material fatigue and wear, this accumulated time is crucial for assessing the durability and safety of a package under load.
[0096] Total environmental load usage time: Taking into account the impact of environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.) on the performance of recyclable packaging, the total environmental load usage time records the cumulative usage time of the packaging under harsh or special environmental conditions. This indicator helps to assess the adaptability and durability of the packaging in specific environments.
[0097] Accordingly, lifespan thresholds are divided into three components: maximum usage duration, maximum load duration, and maximum environmental load duration. These thresholds are determined during the circular packaging design phase based on a comprehensive assessment of multiple factors, including material properties, structural strength, and environmental adaptability. They represent the maximum lifespan of the packaging while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
[0098] When comparing the usage time of recycled packaging with the lifespan threshold, there are three scenarios where the limit is exceeded:
[0099] The first type: Total usage time exceeds the maximum usage time: This means that the overall durability of the recycled packaging has approached or exceeded its design limit, posing a potential safety hazard. In this case, even if the packaging is not obviously damaged, it should be considered for recycling or retirement to prevent accidents.
[0100] The second type: The total load usage time is greater than the maximum load usage time: This specifically emphasizes the risks of using recyclable packaging under load-bearing conditions, indicating that the structural strength and material fatigue of the packaging may have reached a critical point, and continued use may cause damage to the loaded items or personal injury.
[0101] Type 3: Total environmental load duration exceeds maximum environmental load duration: This indicates that the recycled packaging has been used under specific environmental conditions beyond its design tolerance. Long-term exposure to environmental factors may cause changes in material properties, affecting the packaging's sealing and protective functions, potentially posing a threat to the contents.
[0102] In each case, if the usage time exceeds the corresponding lifespan threshold, an immediate warning prompt will be issued, clearly informing the user that the recycled packaging should be recycled. This early warning mechanism ensures the safe exit of recycled packaging, avoids safety risks and economic losses caused by excessive use, and also promotes the rational allocation and recycling of resources.
[0103] The working principle of the recycling packaging life management method provided by the present invention is as follows: using the data collection node units pre-deployed at the operation end, user end, logistics end, and receiving end, the usage information of the recycling packaging is collected, and the usage time of the recycling packaging is calculated and generated, and the basic information of the recycling packaging obtained is compared with the basic information of all recycling packaging in the database. According to the comparison result, the life threshold of the recycling packaging is obtained, and the usage time of the recycling packaging is compared with the life threshold of the recycling packaging to obtain the comparison analysis result, and according to the comparison result, it is determined whether the recycling packaging has reached the conditions for recycling. In addition, the usage information of the present invention includes the usage load of the recycling packaging and the usage environment of the recycling packaging, and fully considers the impact of the logistics environment and load status on the actual service life of the packaging. Even if the total usage time does not meet the conditions, if the total load usage time or the total environmental load usage time meets the conditions, it is determined that the recycling packaging should be recycled, which effectively improves the scientific nature of the life calculation.
[0104] In another technical solution, for a specific packaging task, based on the calculated usage time of the recycled packaging and the life threshold of the recycled packaging, the optimization algorithm is used to adjust the scheduling and allocation of recycled packaging with the objective function of maximizing the efficiency of recycled packaging use:
[0105] ;
[0106] in, is the number of recycled packaging, It is The predicted remaining life of the packaging, It is The number of times a recyclable package is used; wherein the predicted remaining life of the recyclable package is calculated based on the usage time of the recyclable package and the corresponding life threshold;
[0107] The constraints of the above objective function include:
[0108] 1) Each recycling package cannot be used more times than its available number:
[0109] ;
[0110] 2) The total usage time of each recycled package cannot exceed its life threshold:
[0111] ;
[0112] 3) The total load usage time of each recycled packaging cannot exceed its maximum load usage time:
[0113] ;
[0114] 4) The total environmental load duration of each recycled packaging cannot exceed its maximum environmental load duration:
[0115] ;
[0116] At the same time, you also need to ensure that specific task requirements are met (for example, the number of tasks that need to be completed):
[0117] ;
[0118] above, is the number of tasks that need to be completed, 、 and They are the total usage time, total load usage time and total environmental load usage time required to complete a task. Indicates the The number of dispensed items (number of uses) per reusable packaging.
[0119] Solve the above constrained optimization problem using integer programming to ensure that the allocation of loop packaging meets the constraints.
[0120] The above technical solution is described below through a simple example. For the sake of convenience, the following example only uses the total usage time of each recycled package as a constraint:
[0121] Assume there are 3 loop packages for a specific task 、 and , their life thresholds are 1000h, 1500h and 1200h respectively. Their total usage time is currently 500h, 800h and 700h respectively. It takes 100h for each package to complete a task, and 10 tasks need to be completed.
[0122] Then the objective function is:
[0123] ;
[0124] The constraints are:
[0125] 1) The number of times each recycled packaging is used cannot exceed its usable number;
[0126] ;
[0127] ;
[0128] ;
[0129] 2) The total usage time of each recycled package cannot exceed its life threshold:
[0130] ;
[0131] ;
[0132] ;
[0133] In addition, specific task requirements need to be met:
[0134] ; By solving the above optimization problem, the optimal number of times each cycle package is used can be obtained, thereby achieving effective scheduling and allocation of resources.
[0135] For example, if the final optimization result is , which means that It will be used to complete 3 tasks. It will be used to complete 4 tasks. It will be used to complete the task three times, thus ensuring that each recycled package completes the specified number of tasks as efficiently as possible without exceeding its lifespan threshold.
[0136] In some technical solutions, once it is detected that the usage time of recycled packaging is approaching or exceeding the lifespan threshold, the maintenance and recycling process of recycled packaging can be automatically executed through smart contracts. This process is based on blockchain and includes the following steps:
[0137] S501: Obtaining the usage time of the recyclable packaging and the life threshold of the recyclable packaging;
[0138] S502: triggering a specific operation based on a preset condition (such as the usage time approaches or exceeds the life threshold);
[0139] S503: When the conditions are met, a predetermined action is automatically executed (such as sending a maintenance notification or starting a recycling process).
[0140] In the above technical solution, the life threshold of the recyclable packaging has been determined in step S2, and the usage time of the recyclable packaging has been obtained in step S3. Then, based on the preset trigger conditions (for example, for a packaging with a life threshold of 1000 hours, when its cumulative usage time is 900 hours), a maintenance notification can be sent or a recycling process can be started.
[0141] In the above scheme, the execution of the smart contract in step S503 is based on the completion of the single task of the recycling package. For example, the recycling package can be maintained or the recycling package can be started only when a certain recycling package is completed; however, for the recycling package on the way, it is very likely that the trigger condition preset in step S502 is met, which requires the recycling package to be immediately recycled or the logic of the smart contract to be adjusted based on the real-time status of the recycling package at the subsequent data collection node.
[0142] For example, in a specific scenario, for recyclable packaging with a lifespan threshold of 1000 hours, the logic in the smart contract is to trigger the maintenance process at 900 hours and the recycling process at 980 hours; its cumulative usage time has reached 920 hours at the beginning of a certain transportation, and the cumulative transportation time is 100 hours. After comprehensive judgment by the operator, it is considered that the recyclable packaging can still be put into this transportation; this means that the smart contract issues an instruction to start the recycling process when the recyclable packaging is on the way; since there may be multiple data collection nodes in a single transportation process, based on the actual situation of the recyclable packaging, the subsequent data collection nodes in the transportation process of the recyclable packaging will recycle or continue to use the recyclable packaging through interaction with the smart contract.
[0143] That is:
[0144] Determine the real-time status of the recycled packaging;
[0145] Based on the real-time status of the recycled packaging, determine whether the recycled packaging can continue to complete the transportation:
[0146] If not, the recycling package needs to be replaced at the data collection node;
[0147] If so, the information that the recyclable package can continue to complete the delivery is fed back to the smart contract, requesting that the recyclable package continue to serve until the delivery is completed when the life threshold is reached. The smart contract adjusts its execution logic based on the request.
[0148] It should be noted that in the above process, the operator's identity must be verified before the real-time judgment of the recyclable package is made. Only authorized operators can interact with the smart contract and issue instructions to replace the recyclable package or to continue the recyclable package until the delivery is completed. These steps can manage the execution of instructions in special circumstances.
[0149] In addition, in the above process, the smart contract adjusts the execution logic according to the external request, which can be manifested as no longer starting the recycling process during the current delivery process, and the starting node of the recycling process is postponed at least until the current delivery process is completed.
[0150] Example 2

[0152] Data acquisition module 100, used to obtain basic information and usage information of recycled packaging;
[0153] A data calculation module 200 calculates the usage time of the recyclable packaging based on the usage information of the recyclable packaging;

[0155] The execution processing module 400 is used to issue an alarm prompt that the recyclable package should be recycled if the usage time of the recyclable package is greater than the life threshold. The situations in which the usage time of the recyclable package is greater than the life threshold include: the total usage time of the recyclable package is greater than the maximum usage time; or the total load usage time of the recyclable package is greater than the maximum load usage time; or the total environmental load usage time of the recyclable package is greater than the maximum environmental load usage time.
