Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of logistics, and in particular to a disinfection system for logistics containers. Background Art

[0002] In logistics and transportation, goods are typically transported in containers or vans. Disinfection of goods is typically performed by professional disinfection personnel after they arrive at their destination. Common disinfection methods include surface wiping, spraying, fumigation, and ultraviolet disinfection. However, disinfection after arrival requires specialized personnel and a freight yard, and is time-consuming, slowing the flow of goods. This can also pose a risk of spreading the disease during an epidemic. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a logistics container disinfection system. The main idea is to complete the disinfection in advance before the goods arrive at the destination. The disinfection equipment is set inside the container and automatically starts the disinfection process according to instructions and pre-set parameters. It does not require a large number of disinfection personnel, and shortens the logistics time and improves efficiency.

[0004] Specifically, the present invention provides a logistics container disinfection system, including disinfection equipment, a control device, a sensor component, an operation data storage module, a data transmission module, a positioning module, and a cloud server;

[0010] Furthermore, the disinfection parameters include a preset disinfection start time, and the timed generation of the disinfection instruction is: when the current time reaches the preset disinfection start time, the disinfection instruction is generated.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed-point generation of disinfection instructions is: the control device estimates the time to reach the destination based on the distance between the current position of the container and the destination and the logistics speed, subtracts the disinfection time, and obtains the disinfection start time. When the current time reaches the disinfection start time, the disinfection instruction is generated; or the disinfection parameters include a preset disinfection start location, and a disinfection instruction is generated when the container arrives at the preset disinfection start location.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 This is the architecture diagram of the logistics container disinfection system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Logistics containers include containers, various vans, and cargo boxes of cold chain trucks. Disinfection equipment is provided inside the cargo box. The disinfection equipment can be selected in a variety of different forms or combined according to different goods. For example, for microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and molds, chemical agents are selected for disinfection. Chemical agents can be chlorine-containing disinfectants, quaternary ammonium salts, hydrogen peroxide / peracetic acid, alcohol, etc. For surface disinfection of items, ultraviolet irradiation can be used. For pests, etc., gas (methyl bromide, phosphine, etc.) fumigation is used. In addition, inert gas disinfection and the like can also be used. Generally speaking, ultraviolet lamps, disinfection agent bottles, nozzles, etc. are provided inside the cargo box to perform specific disinfection operations.

[0020] See also Figure 1 The logistics container disinfection system of the present invention includes disinfection equipment, a control device, a sensor component, an operation data storage module, a data transmission module, a positioning module, and a cloud server.

[0021] The disinfection device, control device, sensor assembly, operation data storage module, and data transmission module can be integrated into a logistics container.

[0022] The disinfection device is used to perform specific disinfection operations, such as ultraviolet lamps, disinfection agent bottles and nozzles, etc. The control device is used to control the opening or closing of the disinfection device.

[0023] The sensor assembly is used to detect information such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration inside the container, and can be used to evaluate disinfection results.

[0024] The operational data storage module can be used to store freight information, disinfection parameters, etc. Freight information includes information such as cargo type, departure point, and destination. Disinfection parameters include operational parameters used during disinfection operations, such as disinfection duration and disinfection mode (ultraviolet light, fumigation, etc.). The control device controls the operation of the disinfection device based on the disinfection parameters.

[0025] The data transmission module is used for data transmission between the logistics container and the outside, for example, uploading the disinfection results to the cloud server, or receiving instruction information from the cloud server or the logistics container carrier.

[0026] The positioning module can be arranged in the container or on the logistics container carrier to obtain the current location of the container. The positioning module can be a global positioning system such as GPS / Beidou.

[0027] The cloud server is used to store logistics records or send instructions to the control device. The logistics records include container routes, cargo information, disinfection records, etc.

[0028] Several specific embodiments are given below to explain in detail the disinfecting process.

[0029] Example 1 (remote control of disinfection operations by cloud servers):

[0030] The cloud server uses a big data model to determine the optimal time to initiate disinfection based on information such as the cargo's current location, logistics congestion around the destination, customs hours, and loading and unloading times, and initiates the disinfection process in advance. Alternatively, the cloud server operator can directly send a disinfection initiation command based on actual needs. The cloud server transmits the disinfection initiation command to the control device via a data transmission module, which then activates the disinfection equipment to begin the disinfection operation.

[0031] After the disinfection operation is completed, the control device generates an electronic certificate including the disinfection record, which includes at least: the disinfection start time, the disinfection completion time, and environmental parameters for evaluating the disinfection effect; the electronic certificate is saved in the operation data storage module and / or sent to the cloud server for storage.

[0032] When the goods arrive at the destination, the recipient or acceptance party (customs personnel) can be equipped with disinfection record analysis equipment / disinfection electronic certificate reading equipment, inserted into the data interface on the container, or directly obtain the disinfection record / electronic certificate from the cloud server to determine whether the goods disinfection is qualified. If it is unqualified, the disinfection can be started again. If it is qualified, it can be directly released for passage, thereby reducing the workload.

[0033] Furthermore, the disinfection parameters can also be modified and updated through the cloud server and transmitted to the operation data storage module through the data transmission module.

[0034] Example 2 (Container Carrier Control and Disinfection Operation)

[0035] Container carrier operators, such as drivers and crew members, can monitor the container's location in real time. Unlike in Example 1, the container carrier operator sends disinfection initiation instructions directly from the container carrier, rather than through a cloud server. This is primarily because, if weather, road conditions, or other factors cause a container to depart from a pre-determined time or route, the driver or crew member can initiate disinfection operations based on the actual situation, thus increasing system operational flexibility.

[0036] Example 3 (automatically start disinfection operation at a fixed time):

[0037] Unlike the first embodiment, the disinfection start time is pre-set when the goods are shipped and stored in the operation data storage module. The control device includes a time module. When the current time reaches the pre-set disinfection start time, the control device activates the disinfection equipment to start the disinfection operation.

[0038] Example 4 (Starting disinfection operations based on location information)

[0039] When the goods are shipped, the destination of the goods has been preset. The control device obtains the distance between the current location and the destination based on the positioning module, combines the logistics speed, estimates the time to reach the destination, subtracts the disinfection time stored in the operation data storage module, calculates the disinfection start time, and the control device starts the disinfection equipment to start the disinfection operation. When the disinfection operation is completed, the goods have just arrived at the destination. After the disinfection operation is completed, the sensor component collects information in the container to form disinfection evaluation data, which is stored in the operation data storage module and / or sent to the cloud server for storage.

[0040] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the logistics container disinfection system of the present invention can be activated in either automatic or manual mode. The automatic activation mode includes: generating disinfection instructions at a scheduled time, generating disinfection instructions at a fixed point, and automatically generating disinfection instructions by the cloud server. The manual activation mode includes: cloud server controllers sending disinfection instructions, and cargo carrier operators sending disinfection instructions, thus enabling flexible control of the disinfection system.

[0041] Furthermore, the logistics container disinfection system includes an input module, which allows users to set disinfection parameters in automatic mode before shipment. For example, if a scheduled disinfection instruction is selected, the disinfection start time is entered; if a fixed-point disinfection instruction is selected, the disinfection start location, such as a certain port, can be entered. Furthermore, for flexible control, the cloud server can also remotely send disinfection parameter update instructions to update the disinfection parameters.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
