Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of temperature monitoring, and particularly relates to an intelligent cold chain logistics temperature monitoring system for the logistics field. Background Art

[0002] Cold chain logistics refers to maintaining a specific low-temperature environment during transportation, storage, distribution, etc. to ensure the quality and safety of perishable goods. With the rapid development of global trade and e-commerce, the importance of cold chain logistics in the modern supply chain has become increasingly prominent. Especially after the epidemic, the transportation demand for biological products such as vaccines and drugs has surged, posing higher requirements for the reliability and accuracy of the cold chain. However, there are many challenges in the actual operation of cold chain logistics, especially in terms of temperature control, transportation timeliness, and energy efficiency. First of all, temperature stability is one of the most critical factors in cold chain logistics. Temperature deviation may lead to a decline in the quality of goods and even spoilage. For example, when transporting vaccines, even a temperature fluctuation of a few degrees may affect the effectiveness of the vaccines, causing huge economic losses and public health risks. Currently, many cold chain logistics systems mainly rely on traditional temperature control equipment and manual monitoring, but these systems often have problems such as slow response speed, low accuracy, and information lag. The traditional temperature monitoring method only relies on regular manual inspections and cannot detect temperature fluctuations or abnormal changes in a timely manner, possibly missing the best intervention opportunity. Secondly, the transportation route and timeliness are also a major challenge for the management of cold chain logistics. Cold chain transportation not only requires proper temperature control but also needs to ensure high efficiency and punctuality during the transportation process. The arrival time of goods and the optimization of the transportation route directly affect the overall efficiency of the cold chain, especially for high-value goods that need to be transported within a strict time limit. Factors such as traffic and weather during transportation may affect the scheduled arrival time, but the existing systems often lack real-time monitoring and prediction of transportation speed, route, traffic conditions, etc., resulting in the inability to synchronize dispatching and temperature control management, increasing the uncertainty and risk of cold chain transportation. In addition, the energy efficiency issue is also an important problem in cold chain logistics. In order to maintain a low-temperature environment, cold chain logistics usually requires a large number of refrigeration devices, which will bring huge energy consumption and costs. The traditional refrigeration method is often not fully optimized in terms of energy efficiency, and many systems will operate continuously without discrimination, resulting in energy waste. In the context of increasingly strict environmental protection requirements and rising energy costs, how to achieve precise refrigeration control and reduce energy consumption has become an urgent problem to be solved in the cold chain logistics industry. Therefore, an intelligent cold chain logistics temperature monitoring system for the logistics field is proposed. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the system modules of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept of the present invention and the technical effects produced in combination with the embodiments to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0055] An intelligent cold chain logistics temperature monitoring system for the logistics field includes a data monitoring module, a positioning and tracking module, and a refrigeration power control module.

[0056] The data monitoring module is arranged inside the truck and is used to regularly monitor the temperature of the truck.

[0057] The positioning and tracking module is arranged inside the truck carriage and is used to position and track the location of the truck.

[0058] The refrigeration power control module is arranged outside the truck and is used to refrigerate the carriage.

[0059] In this embodiment, the data monitoring module includes a monitoring unit, a feedback unit, and an anomaly analysis unit.

[0060] The monitoring unit is arranged inside the truck and is used to regularly monitor the temperature of the truck, and then transmit the truck temperatures at different time points monitored regularly to the anomaly analysis unit according to the number of preset time points. The monitoring unit is a digital temperature sensor.

[0061] The anomaly analysis unit is connected to the monitoring unit and the refrigeration power control module. After receiving the truck temperature, it is used to calculate the temperature mean value based on the truck temperatures at different time points monitored regularly, then calculate the temperature standard deviation based on the truck temperatures at different time points monitored regularly, then calculate the data value based on the temperature standard deviation and the temperature mean value, and then compare whether the data value exceeds the preset threshold. And it is used to generate an alarm prompt message after comparing that the data value exceeds the preset threshold and transmit it to the feedback unit. The anomaly analysis unit can adopt a microcontroller based on the ARM architecture.

[0062] The feedback unit is connected to the anomaly analysis unit and is arranged inside the truck cab. It is used to emit a feedback sound after receiving the alarm prompt message. The feedback unit is a speaker. When receiving the alarm prompt message, the speaker emits a feedback sound to remind the truck driver.

[0063] In this embodiment, the monitoring unit regularly collects the temperature data inside the truck and transmits it to the anomaly analysis unit. By performing segmented processing on the temperature data, the accuracy of temperature change monitoring is effectively improved. In addition, the monitoring unit is also responsible for real-time tracking of the transportation speed of the truck and transmitting this information to the positioning and tracking module to ensure that the temperature monitoring is synchronized with the transportation progress. The anomaly analysis unit can accurately analyze the temperature fluctuations inside the truck by calculating the temperature mean value and the standard deviation, and identify anomalies in a timely manner. The data value calculated using the temperature standard deviation and the mean value is compared with the preset threshold. When the temperature fluctuation exceeds the threshold, the system can immediately detect and identify the abnormal situation. After receiving the alarm prompt message from the anomaly analysis unit, the feedback unit can quickly emit a feedback sound to remind the driver or operator to pay attention to the temperature change and take corresponding treatment measures. This alarm mechanism ensures the timely discovery and response to abnormal situations, thereby reducing the impact of temperature control problems on the safety of goods.

[0064] In this embodiment, the formula for the anomaly analysis unit to calculate the temperature mean value based on the temperatures at different time points monitored regularly is:

[0065]

[0066] where μ is the temperature mean value, with the unit of °C, N is the number of preset time points, and x e is the truck temperature at the e-th time point, with the unit of °C.

[0067] In this embodiment, the formula for the anomaly analysis unit to calculate the temperature standard deviation based on the temperatures at different time points monitored at regular intervals is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] where σ is the standard deviation.

[0070] In this embodiment, the formula for the anomaly analysis unit to calculate the data value based on the standard deviation and the mean is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] where Z e is the data value.

[0073] For example, assume that we have the temperature data of a truck at 5 time points monitored at regular intervals. If N is 5, then x 1 、x 2 、x 3 、x 4 、x 5 are 10°C, 12°C, 8°C, 11°C, 9°C respectively, μ is 10°C, σ is 1.41°C, and Z t is -1.42, then an anomaly occurs.

[0074] In this embodiment, the positioning and tracking module includes a GPS positioning device, a cloud server, and a display module.

[0075] The monitoring unit is used to monitor the transportation speed of the truck and then transmit it to the cloud server.

[0076] The GPS positioning device is set inside the truck compartment and is used to monitor the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck, and then transmit the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck to the cloud server. The GPS positioning device uses a GPS locator.

[0077] The cloud server is connected to the monitoring unit, the GPS positioning device, and the refrigeration power control module, and is used for the manager to deploy the location information of several cold chain transfer stations. And it is used to calculate several distances based on the location information of several cold chain transfer stations and the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck after receiving the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck, then sort the several distances according to the quicksort method to obtain the minimum distance, and then transmit the location information of the transfer station corresponding to the minimum distance to the display module. And it is used to calculate the arrival time based on the minimum distance and the transportation speed after receiving the transportation speed, and then transmit it to the display module.

[0078] The display module is connected to the cloud server and is used to display the location information of the transfer station corresponding to the minimum distance and the arrival time after receiving the location information of the transfer station corresponding to the minimum distance and the arrival time. The display module uses an OLED display screen.

[0079] In this embodiment, the GPS positioning device monitors the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck in real time and transmits this information to the cloud server. This function ensures the accurate tracking of the truck's location, enabling managers to know the dynamic position of the truck at any time. The cloud server not only receives the truck location data but also allows managers to preset the location information of the cold chain transfer stations. Based on the calculation of the distance between the current location of the truck and the transfer stations, the system determines the nearest transfer station through the quicksort method, optimizing the selection of transfer stations to ensure that the goods can reach the appropriate transfer station as soon as possible. After receiving the transportation speed of the truck, the cloud server can calculate the expected time for the truck to reach the target transfer station in real time by combining the shortest distance and speed data. This information is transmitted to the refrigeration power control module for corresponding temperature adjustment and at the same time transmitted to the display module so that the management personnel can master the transportation progress. The display module receives the transfer station information corresponding to the shortest distance and the arrival time transmitted by the cloud server and intuitively displays them to the manager, facilitating the real-time monitoring of the transportation situation of the truck and the expected arrival time to ensure the timeliness and coordination during the transportation process.

[0080] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating several distances based on the location information of several cold chain transfer stations and the longitude and latitude coordinates of the truck is:

[0081]

[0082] where d i is the i-th distance, with the unit of m, r is the radius of the earth, with the unit of km, is the longitude coordinate of the truck, with the unit of degree, is the longitude coordinate of the location information of the i-th cold chain transfer station, with the unit of degree, Δλ is the radian difference of the latitude difference between the truck's latitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate of the location information of the i-th cold chain transfer station, with the unit of degree, is the radian difference of the longitude difference between the truck's longitude coordinate and the longitude coordinate of the location information of the i-th cold chain transfer station, with the unit of degree,

[0083] The formula for calculating the arrival time based on the minimum distance and transportation speed is:

[0084]

[0085] where t renaining is the arrival time, with the unit of h, d min is the minimum distance, with the unit of m, v is the transportation speed, with the unit of m / s,

[0086] For example, the longitude coordinate of the truck is 30°, the longitude coordinate of the location information of the i-th cold chain transfer station is 31°, the radius of the earth is 6,371 km, the difference in longitude coordinates between the truck and the location information of the i-th cold chain transfer station converted to the difference in radians is -0.000155 rad, and the difference in latitude between the user's location and the punctuation of the critical path converted to radians is 0.000079 rad. Then the distance of the i-th one is 10,000 m. Assuming that the distance of the i-th one is the minimum distance, the transportation speed is 2 m / s, and the arrival time is 1.4 h.

It is used to, after receiving the arrival time, the temperature outside the truck, the volume of the carriage, the pre-measured area of the carriage, and the temperature mean value, calculate the heat conduction value based on the pre-measured area of the carriage, the preset heat transfer coefficient of the carriage, the temperature outside the truck, and the temperature mean value. Then calculate the heat capacity of the truck based on the volume of the carriage, the preset air specific heat capacity of the truck, and the preset air density. Then calculate the temperature change amount based on the temperature outside the truck and the temperature mean value. Then calculate the total cooling heat based on the temperature change amount and the heat capacity of the truck. Then calculate the total refrigeration power based on the heat conduction value, the total cooling heat, the arrival time, and the preset refrigeration efficiency, and then transmit it to the control unit. The calculation unit can use an embedded computer.

[0092] The control unit is connected to the calculation unit and is used to control the output power of the refrigeration equipment to be the total refrigeration power after receiving the total refrigeration power. The control unit can use a PLC.

[0093] In this embodiment, the external temperature sensor monitors the external environmental temperature of the truck and transmits the temperature data to the calculation unit. This function provides real-time feedback on the external environment for calculating the internal temperature control of the carriage, ensuring that the temperature control system can respond promptly to external climate changes. The calculation unit combines the physical parameters of the carriage, the external temperature, the temperature inside the truck, and the preset heat transfer coefficient to calculate the heat transfer value. At the same time, the truck heat capacity of the truck is calculated using the carriage volume, the air specific heat capacity of the truck, and the air density to ensure an accurate estimation of heat changes. The calculation unit calculates the total cooling heat required based on the temperature change and the truck heat capacity of the carriage. This calculation helps predict the temperature change inside the truck, thereby determining the required refrigeration power and avoiding affecting the temperature control effect during transportation due to excessive or insufficient refrigeration. Based on the heat transfer value, the total cooling heat, the arrival time, and the refrigeration efficiency, the calculation unit can obtain the accurate total refrigeration power and transmit the result to the control unit. The control unit adjusts the output power of the refrigeration equipment according to this power, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the internal temperature of the carriage and ensuring temperature stability during transportation.

[0094] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the heat transfer value by the calculation unit according to the pre-measured carriage area, the preset carriage heat transfer coefficient, the temperature outside the truck, and the temperature average value is: Q IN = A × U × (T OUT - μ),

[0095] where, A is the pre-measured carriage area, with the unit of m 2 , U is the preset carriage heat transfer coefficient, with the unit of W / m 2 K, T OUT is the temperature outside the truck, with the unit of °C, Q IN is the heat transfer value, with the unit of J,
