[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] An RFID-based intelligent vehicle toolbox, the system includes: a toolbox body, an RFID tag, an RFID reading and writing device and a central control unit. The RFID tag is installed on each tool. The RFID reading and writing device exchanges data with the RFID tag through wireless communication. The central control unit manages the usage status of the tools in the toolbox based on the read RFID tag data.

[0027] The working process of the RFID-based intelligent vehicle toolbox system is as follows: each tool is installed with an RFID tag to store the tool's unique identification information. When the tool is placed in or taken out of the toolbox, the RFID reader / writer exchanges data with the RFID tag on the tool wirelessly to record the tool usage in real time. The central control unit automatically manages the tool's access records, usage frequency and other information based on the data obtained by the RFID reader / writer, and provides suggestions on tool status, maintenance needs and other aspects through data analysis. The system helps car owners efficiently track tool usage, avoid loss, damage or forgetfulness, and ensure the timely availability of tools.

[0028] The central control unit is wirelessly connected to the mobile devices of the car owner and the user through the on-board terminal. The on-board terminal includes but is not limited to the on-board navigation system, infotainment system and on-board smart devices, etc. The central control unit is connected to the mobile devices of the car owner including but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and ZigBee.

[0029] The system is connected to the owner's mobile device and vehicle terminal (such as vehicle navigation, infotainment system, etc.) through wireless communication. The owner can interact with the central control unit in real time through communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ZigBee. When the status of the tool in the toolbox changes, the central control unit will synchronize the updated information to the vehicle terminal and the owner's mobile device. The owner can view the tool's usage record, storage location and maintenance suggestions through the smart device. This system not only allows the owner to understand the status of the tool at any time, but also provides remote management and reminder functions to improve the convenience and efficiency of tool management.

[0030] RFID tags use high frequency (HF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID tags. High frequency (HF) tags are suitable for close-range tool identification, and ultra high frequency (UHF) tags are suitable for long-range tool tracking and management.

[0031] RFID tags are divided into two types: high frequency (HF) and ultra high frequency (UHF). HF tags are used for short-range tool identification and are suitable for tool access confirmation; UHF tags are used for long-range tool tracking and management and can perform real-time monitoring over a larger range. The RFID reader / writer in the toolbox selects the appropriate frequency for data reading based on the distance between the tool and the tag. When the tool is taken out or put into the toolbox, the RFID reader / writer reads the tag information through a high-frequency or ultra-high-frequency signal and transmits the data to the central control unit, which updates the tool's usage record and status based on the data to help car owners manage tools in real time. The system achieves short-range and long-range tool tracking and efficient management through the collaborative work of HF and UHF tags.

[0032] The central control unit includes a processor, a memory, a wireless communication module, a sensor module and an acoustic and optical prompting device, and the sensor module includes a humidity sensor and an acceleration sensor.

[0033] Through the collaborative work of the processor, memory, wireless communication module, sensor module and sound and light prompt device, the humidity sensor in the sensor module is used to monitor the ambient humidity in the tool box to ensure that the tools will not rust or be damaged due to moisture; the acceleration sensor detects whether the tools are moved or collided to prevent accidental damage or loss of the tools. When the sensor detects an abnormality, the central control unit immediately sends a warning message to the owner's mobile device or vehicle terminal through the wireless communication module. At the same time, the sound and light prompt device issues a warning to remind the owner to deal with the problem in time. The central control unit also uses the memory to record the status of the tool and sensor data, providing complete tool management and monitoring functions.

[0034] The toolbox body includes an automatic recognition module and a classification module.

[0035] By exchanging data with the RFID tags on the tools through the RFID reading and writing equipment, the automatic identification and recording of the tools can be realized. The classification module automatically classifies the tools and stores them in the designated location according to the type, size or frequency of use of the tools. When the tools are put in or taken out, the automatic identification module will update the access records of the tools in real time, and the classification module will ensure that the tools are stored neatly and orderly in the corresponding areas. During the whole process, the automatic identification and classification functions of the toolbox greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of tool management, helping car owners to easily track the usage status and location of the tools.

[0036] The central control unit can be connected to the on-board diagnostic system (OBD).

[0037] It connects to the on-board diagnostic system (OBD) through the wireless communication module to obtain the vehicle's operating data and fault information in real time. When the OBD system detects an abnormal condition of the vehicle (such as engine failure, abnormal fuel consumption, etc.), the relevant data will be transmitted to the central control unit. The central control unit analyzes and judges the status of the vehicle based on these data, and sends an alarm or maintenance suggestion to the owner through the on-board terminal or the owner's mobile device. At the same time, the owner can also check the health status of the vehicle through the system to facilitate timely repair or maintenance, thereby realizing intelligent monitoring and management of the vehicle.

[0038] RFID reading and writing equipment adopts integrated circuit chip and antenna design.

[0039] Through the design of integrated circuit chips and antennas, efficient reading and writing of RFID tags on tools or objects can be achieved. The integrated circuit chip is responsible for processing the reading and transmission of tag data, while the antenna is responsible for transmitting and receiving radio wave signals. When the tool or object approaches the RFID reading and writing device, the antenna emits electromagnetic waves and interacts with the antenna on the tag to read the stored information in the tag (such as tool ID, location, status, etc.). This information is then transmitted to the central control unit for processing and recording. When the tag information needs to be updated, the integrated circuit chip can also write data to ensure that the tool status and usage records are always kept up to date. The entire process ensures the automation and accuracy of tool management.

[0040] The RFID reading and writing device is installed in the tool box. The RFID reading and writing device is connected to the central control unit through wireless communication. The RFID reading and writing device can read the data of the RFID tag on the tool in real time and store and analyze it through the central control unit.

[0041] The antenna communicates with the RFID tag attached to the tool. When the tool is put in or taken out, the RFID reader / writer reads the information on the tag (such as tool ID, usage status, etc.) in real time. The read data is transmitted to the central control unit via wireless communication. The central control unit stores and analyzes the data after receiving it. The system will automatically update the tool's usage record, location and status, and can provide corresponding prompts or warnings based on the analysis results. For example, if the tool is not returned to the predetermined position or requires maintenance, the system will notify the user. This process realizes automatic identification, precise management and intelligent monitoring of tools.

[0042] The automatic identification module automatically identifies tools and status through RFID reading and writing devices, and the classification module can perform intelligent classification management based on tool type, frequency of use, size, etc.

[0043] The RFID tag information on the tool is read in real time through the RFID reading and writing device, and the type, status and other key information of the tool (such as tool ID, usage time, etc.) are automatically identified. The identified data is transmitted to the classification module. The classification module intelligently classifies the tools according to preset rules (such as tool type, usage frequency, size, etc.) and stores the tools in the corresponding locations. The system continuously updates the tool usage record to ensure that the tool is always in the correct position, and can provide management suggestions or reminders based on the status of the tool. For example, the classification module can automatically adjust the storage priority according to the frequency of tool use to ensure that commonly used tools are easy to access, thereby achieving efficient and accurate tool management.

[0044] The central control unit has a remote monitoring module and a diagnostic module. The monitoring module can be connected to the cloud server, and can monitor the toolbox in real time. The diagnostic module is combined with the on-board diagnostic system (OBD) and the toolbox management system. The diagnostic module can feedback the actual tool status to the user through the remote communication module.

[0045] The remote monitoring module is connected to the cloud server to detect the status and location of the tools in the toolbox in real time. The monitoring module uploads the collected data to the cloud so that users or administrators can view it at any time. The diagnostic module is combined with the on-board diagnostic system (OBD) and the toolbox management system. It can obtain the real-time fault information of the vehicle through the on-board OBD system and analyze the usage status of the tools in the toolbox. When the diagnostic module detects an abnormality or maintenance is required, the system will feedback the diagnostic results to the user through the remote communication module, provide the real-time status of the tool and possible fault prompts, and help the user deal with the problem in time. The whole system realizes the intelligent management, fault diagnosis and remote monitoring of the toolbox, improving the management efficiency and the safety of tool use.
