Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile logistics and ecological products, and in particular to a storage box with high availability and security based on NFC and in-vehicle Wi-Fi communication. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of my country's economy, my country's logistics industry has made great progress. At the same time, the automobile industry has also developed rapidly. In particular, the improvement of the automobile industry brought about by the four modernizations of automobiles is more significant. At this stage, it has brought many problems.

[0003] First, from the perspective of cost performance, packaging cost is one of the costs, and it is currently difficult to achieve a cost performance ratio between packaging effect and cost. The packaging is often simple and loose, resulting in a large number of damaged parts, and a lot of time and energy are spent on making the outer packaging.

[0004] Second, from an environmental perspective, there is currently very little reusable packaging, which has a negative impact on environmental protection.

[0005] Third, as a high-end automotive ecological component, there is no corresponding invention to meet the new demands of the increasingly sophisticated car owners in the new era for confidentiality of items, smart switches, etc.

[0006] Fourth, if the same function is required, not only are there no adapted or matching ecological products, but users also need to spend time and energy looking for, processing and transforming similar external packaging, and the user experience perception is poor.

[0007] Fifth, with the rapid development of the automobile industry, especially the development of intelligent and digital technologies, the storage of items requires more security, convenience, aesthetics and privacy.

[0008] Security is reflected in higher permissions, such as NFC identification, APP authorization, etc. Convenience is reflected in the use of modern communication functions such as NFC, wifi, 5G, etc. to communicate with the car computer or box. Automation is reflected in the fact that it is developed together with the car computer / car interior as an ecological component, and its placement and use are integrated with the car computer environment, making it beautiful and durable. Privacy is reflected in the use of intelligent means, allowing users to be the only user to ensure the safety of the box and its contents.

[0009] From the perspective of the development of ecological products in the automotive industry and the joint use of new technologies: First, intelligent car systems have gradually become mainstream, and the intelligent control of ecological products by the in-car control domain has become an important consideration for measuring the level of intelligence. Second, the placement location is also conducive to taking, confidentiality and protection of items. Third, remote control is carried out with the help of the capabilities of the MCU dedicated controller (domain). Fourth, the specific placement location is under the central armrest box, and the NFC chip at the bottom is connected to the receiving / sending signal chip at the bottom of the Console, forming an integrated connection between the ecological component and the car machine.

[0010] At present, there are many storage devices based on NFC identification technology, such as the public document with announcement number CN112278508A, publication date January 29, 2021, and patent name "A Mortise and Tenon Shared Express Box Based on NFC Identification Technology". The disclosed mortise and tenon shared express box based on NFC identification technology has an NFC module embedded inside the base; grooves and tenons are set on the two intersecting sides of the base; the left side groove No. 1 is connected with the left top groove No. 1, and the left side groove No. 2 and the left top groove No. 2 repeat the spatial structure of the left side groove No. 1 and the left top groove No. 1 on the same side; the right side groove No. 1 is connected with the right top groove No. 1, and the right side groove No. 2 and the right top groove No. 2 repeat the spatial structure of the left side groove No. 1 and the left top groove No. 1 on the same side; each group of edges parallel to the groove is provided with a tenon, and the tenons on the vertical sides are connected with reinforcement components. Through express box components of different sizes and quantities, express boxes of different sizes according to actual needs are assembled.

[0011] Therefore, the current storage in cars has problems such as limited reading of item information, bottleneck in transfer efficiency, poor box protection, weak integration with goods, and poor reusability. There is a lack of a system that combines NFC with storage devices and applies them to cars, so as to improve the safety and convenience of item storage in cars and expand more applicable scenarios.

[0034] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the shape, structure, relative position and connection relationship between the various components involved, the function and working principle of each part, the manufacturing process and operation method, etc., through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0035] By setting up the NFC electronic identifier 21 and the smart lock, a smart lock is realized, and the electronic waybill uses NFC technology to read and store information, and the electronic waybill can be recycled to protect the safety of the items in the item. In addition, the box body provided by the present application is made of recyclable materials, which is low in cost and more environmentally friendly.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the NFC-based high-availability storage box provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a first box body 1 and a second box body 2, and the second box body 2 is sleeved on the outside of the first box body 1. Therefore, one is a box body with a bottom opening, and the other is a box body with a top opening. The two can be buckled together to achieve sealed storage. Of course, in order to ensure that the first box body 1 can be opened, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough space above to pull out the first box body 1.

[0037] like Figure 2 The outer side of the second box body 2 is provided with an NFC electronic identifier 21 for identifying information of the NFC device. The user can pre-select a binding device as needed, such as a mobile phone, a bracelet, a card, etc., and can unlock the device with the device he carries. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a lock hole is provided on the inner side of the second box body 2, and an electromagnetic lock control device 11 is provided on the outer side of the first box body 1 at a position corresponding to the lock hole on the inner side of the second box body 2. In order to ensure that the lock hole and the electromagnetic lock control device 11 are correctly aligned, vertically matched slots and limit blocks can be provided on the first box body 1 and the second box body 2. This can ensure that the lock hole and the electromagnetic lock control device 11 of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 are accurately aligned when inserted, thereby ensuring the reliability of locking. The electromagnetic lock control device 11 is a conventional electromagnetic lock, and locking is achieved by inserting a telescopic lock tongue into the lock hole.

[0038] A wireless communication module 12 and a microprocessor 13 are also provided in the first box body 1. The microprocessor 13 is used to receive a control instruction sent by the background server through the wireless communication module 12 to instruct to open the electromagnetic lock. The control instruction is issued by the background server after determining the user identity information of the NFC device; the microprocessor 13 is also used to send a control signal to the electromagnetic lock control device 11 after receiving the control instruction; the electromagnetic lock control device 11 is used to control the electromagnetic lock to open after receiving the control signal to separate the first box body 1 and the second box body 2.

[0039] Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the position of the combination in the car is set below the hollow central armrest area, and a hollow slot is set to completely and accurately nest the combination. The chip position for receiving / emitting NFC signals is set at the bottom of the hollow slot, which is exactly connected to the NFC module of the box body for signal transmission, so that the car machine and the box body are connected, becoming a confidential automotive ecological component.

[0040] The working principle of the high-availability storage box based on NFC is as follows: in this application, the second box body 2 is sleeved on the outside of the first box body 1, and the lock hole of the first box body 1 and the electromagnetic lock control device 11 in the first box body 1 are locked. The item handler can put the item in the first box body 1, and then sleeve the second box body 2 to achieve locking. When the item handler delivers the item, the user scans the user's NFC device through the NFC electronic identifier 21 on the outside of the second box body 2 after obtaining the item. When it is determined that the user identity of the NFC device is correct, the microprocessor 13 receives the control instruction and sends a control signal to the electromagnetic lock control device 11. After receiving the control signal, the electromagnetic lock control device 11 controls the lock tongue (corresponding control motor) to open to separate the first box body 1 and the second box body 2. The user can take out the items in the first box body 1, which ensures the safety of the items.

[0041] The NFC device provided in this application can be a smart terminal, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a special NFC reader (mainly used as various NFC near-field reading devices in the transportation process of goods companies), etc. After the smart terminal establishes a connection with the backend server, the user can be authenticated by real name.

[0042] If the user has not registered before, after the smart terminal establishes a connection with the background server, the user enters the registration information in the opened page. The registration information includes the real name, ID number and mobile phone number. After the background server receives the registration information, the background server will verify the identity of the user based on the mobile phone number. Therefore, the user's identity can be determined by scanning the NFC device. The background server pre-stores the personal identity information stored in the device information of the NFC device, and the device information is the mobile phone number. The NFC electronic identifier 21 sends an identity recognition request message to the NFC device. After receiving the identity recognition request message, the NFC device sends the local mobile phone number to the NFC electronic identifier 21 to determine the user's identity. It can be understood that the mobile phone number corresponds to the customer identity information, or the company's unique customer identity identification number, which can be implemented using existing technologies, and this application will not go into details here.

[0043] It is understandable that the sizes of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 in the present application can be standardized, so that it is convenient for recycling and reuse. It is only necessary to consider the matching of the first box body 1 and the second box body 2. At the same time, it only needs to have two standards to be able to use it. There is no need to pay attention to the original factory matching.

[0044] The NFC electronic identifier 21 in the present application is embedded and only needs to be pressed and clamped, which is not only convenient for reading, but also convenient for replacing damaged NFC modules separately, achieving the purpose of intensiveness and economy.

[0045] Possible implementations of NFC electronic identifier 21:

[0046] The NFC electronic identifier 21 includes: an NFC chip, a crystal oscillator circuit, a matching circuit, an antenna and an NFC receiving circuit, wherein one end of the crystal oscillator circuit and the NFC receiving circuit are respectively connected to the NFC chip, the other end of the NFC receiving circuit is connected to one end of the matching circuit, and the other end of the matching circuit is connected to the antenna; the NFC chip controls the crystal oscillator circuit to generate a crystal oscillator frequency; the matching circuit is used to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna; the antenna is used to receive a wireless data signal and convert it into an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal to the matching circuit and then to the NFC receiving circuit, and the NFC receiving circuit transmits the electrical signal to the NFC chip.

[0047] In the present application, the NFC electronic identifier 21 receives the wireless data signal through the antenna, converts it into an electrical signal, transmits the electrical signal to the matching circuit, and then transmits it to the NFC receiving circuit. The NFC receiving circuit transmits the electrical signal to the NFC chip to realize wireless communication of the NFC electronic identifier 21. The matching circuit includes a series capacitor and a parallel capacitor.

[0048] The NFC electronic identifier 21 further includes: an NFC transmitting circuit, the NFC transmitting circuit includes an RF front-end circuit and a TX protection circuit; the TX protection circuit includes two complementary zener diodes.

[0049] The antenna can be arranged along the edge of the second box body 2 to increase the range of signal reception. The first box body 1 and the second box body 2 both adopt a tetrahedron structure, and the antenna adopts a rectangular antenna, which can be routed along the shell.

[0050] The inner bottom surface of the first box body 1 and the inner bottom surface of the second box body 2 are both provided with an inflatable air cushion 101. The inflatable air cushion 101 is provided with a micro-inflating motor 14, which is connected to the microprocessor 13; after the box body is closed and the data is read by the NFC identifier, the inflatable air cushion starts to be inflated under the control of the microprocessor 13, and the amount of air is inflated according to the degree of the box body being inserted.

[0051] Specifically, the inflatable air cushion 101 is used to prevent the items in the first box body 1 from being damaged due to transportation impact. The inflatable air cushion 101 is used for buffering. After the item handler places the item in the first box body 1, the NFC electronic identifier 21 can identify the item handler's handheld terminal. The NFC electronic identifier 21 sends the identification signal to the microprocessor 13, and the microprocessor 13 controls the micro-inflatable motor 14 to inflate the inflatable air cushion 101. The two-part box body determines the size according to the specific object along the track, and uses gas compression to protect the goods. At the same time, it is compatible with goods of different sizes and shapes. It should be noted that in this application, an external inflation nozzle or an internal chemical mixture can also be used to produce sufficient, non-toxic and fast gas to fill the inflatable bag.

[0052] Some embodiments of the first box body 1 include:

[0053] The first box body 1 is provided with a power module 15 for providing power to the NFC-based high-availability storage box; the power module 15 includes a voltage-stabilized power supply unit and a battery. A partition plate is provided inside the first box body 1, and the partition plate divides the space inside the first box body 1 into a first space 102 and a second space 103, wherein the first space 102 is used to place items; and the second space 103 is used to place the power module 15, the wireless communication module 12 and the microprocessor 13.

[0054] The first box body 1 of the NFC-based high-availability storage box provided in the present application separates the space for storing items and the space for storing electronic devices, which is safer. The first box body 11 and the second box body 2 are both made of hard plastic material. They can also be made of metal materials or other recyclable materials.

[0055] It can be understood that since the first box body 1 and the second box body 2 are themselves rectangular structures and are also rectangular structures after being combined, other existing problems of special-shaped parts will not arise. They only need to be roughly stacked on the opposite sides to quickly form an overall approximate rectangular structure. Under the condition of reasonable intensive space, intensive packaging can be carried out more quickly, and the entire package can be conveniently coded, thereby improving the efficiency of transportation and stacking.

[0056] From the perspective of the development of ecological products in the automotive industry and the joint use of new technologies: First, smart car systems have gradually become mainstream, and the intelligent control of ecological products by the in-car control domain has become an important consideration for measuring the level of intelligence. Second, the placement is also conducive to taking, confidentiality and protection of items. Third, remote control is carried out with the capabilities of the MCU dedicated controller (domain). In the interior space of the car, the box body is connected and controlled by the Bluetooth / NFC in the car. When it needs to be opened, it needs to be opened through the car computer control. In the space outside the car, the box body is protected, and when it needs to be opened, it needs to be opened and unlocked by the owner's mobile phone with NFC function. Data security, internal protection, and data intelligent connectivity have all been comprehensively applied.

[0057] In the car interior, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the method to complete the NFC control and connection of the box body is to make the NFC signal transmitting position at the bottom of the central armrest box placement slot consistent and close to the NFC signal receiving position of the box body, so as to complete functions such as information transmission and unlocking. As an ecological component, the complete box body can be perfectly embedded in the groove below the console, and at the same time, the box body is connected to the NFC module of the car machine to complete functions such as information exchange and unlocking.

[0058] The box bodies of the present invention are locked in the form of electronic locks to protect the safety of the express items. The electronic waybill uses NFC technology to read and store information, and the electronic waybill can be recycled and reused. In addition, the box body provided by the present application is made of materials with low cost and more environmentally friendly. The first box body 1 and the second box body 2 can be customized according to a number of fixed sizes, which is more convenient to use and less expensive. From the perspective of practicality in the automotive industry, the digital security and practicality of protecting the contents that ecological products should have are taken into account. The remote control system also plays a greater role.

[0059] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
