[0033] Example 1
[0034] This embodiment achieves automated monitoring of product delivery and usage through a sensor switch and a circuit board with a built-in signal transmission module. By detecting changes in the sensor switch's state, the circuit board can detect the installation and removal of devices and report the relevant information to the server via the signal transmission module. The server uses this information to confirm the product's delivery and usage status and automatically generates new delivery orders. This not only improves the efficiency of product management and reduces delivery costs but also minimizes manual intervention and enhances the user experience. The specific solution is as follows:
[0035] A device capable of sensing changes in the state of goods includes a device body 1, a sensor switch 2, and a circuit board 3; the device body 1 is provided with the sensor switch 2 and the circuit board 3, and the sensor switch 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3.
[0036] The main body 1 of the device is provided with an interface 4 for attaching goods in the area corresponding to the induction switch 2. When the interface 4 is attached to the goods, the induction switch 2 is closed; when the interface 4 is separated from the goods, the induction switch 2 is open.
[0037] A signal transmission module is installed in circuit board 3.
[0038] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a device capable of intelligently sensing changes in the status of goods. The main body 1 of the device serves as the supporting structure for the entire system, and a sensor switch 2 and a circuit board 3 are mounted on it. The sensor switch 2 communicates with the circuit board 3 via a precise electrical connection, ensuring accurate signal transmission and processing. In this embodiment, the sensor switch 2 and the circuit board 3 are an integrated structure. The circuit board 3 not only handles the signal processing tasks of the sensor switch 2 but also incorporates a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module is responsible for uploading the status change information generated by the sensor switch 2 to an external server, allowing users or managers to understand the dynamic status of goods in real time, effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management and product tracking.
[0039] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the device is designed with a flexible interface 4 for attaching goods to the area where the inductive switch 2 operates. In practical applications, this embodiment can be applied to bottled water. The initial state of the inductive switch 2 is open. When the device of this embodiment is attached to the bottle opening through the interface 4, the weight of the device and the pressure exerted on the inductive switch 2 by the seal of the bottle cause the inductive switch 2 to change from open to closed. The closing action of the inductive switch 2 then triggers the relevant circuits on the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 reports the status change of the goods to an external server through the signal transmission module. At this time, the server receives the signal and confirms that the bottled water has been delivered to the customer. When the customer uses the bottled water, they remove the device attached to the bottle opening, causing the inductive switch 2 to change from closed to open. The opening action of the inductive switch 2 then triggers the relevant circuits on the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 reports the status change of the goods to an external server through the signal transmission module. At this time, the server receives the signal and confirms that the bottled water has been used, and then automatically generates a new delivery order, thereby realizing intelligent management of the bottled water delivery process. In this way, this embodiment not only greatly improves the intelligence level of bottled water delivery and management, but also effectively reduces the possibility of human error and omission through real-time status monitoring and feedback, providing customers with a more convenient and efficient water experience.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the main body 1 of the device includes a housing 1a and a top cover 1b. The housing 1a is provided with a sensor switch 2 and a circuit board 3. The top cover 1b is connected to the side of the housing 1a away from the sensor switch 2. An interface 4 is provided in the area of the housing 1a corresponding to the sensor switch 2.
[0041] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the base housing 1a serves as the support for the main structure, and the inductive switch 2 and circuit board 3 are cleverly arranged inside to ensure the safety and stability of the electronic components. In order to realize intelligent monitoring of the status of the goods, a specific area of the housing 1a, namely the area corresponding to the inductive switch 2, is provided with an interface 4 so that the inductive switch 2 can be effectively triggered when the device is attached to the goods.
[0042] The top cover 1b is connected to the side of the housing 1a away from the inductive switch 2, protecting the internal electronic components from interference and damage from the external environment, and providing users with a simple and easy-to-operate interface.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, a fixing component 5 is also included. Both the housing 1a and the top cover 1b are provided with through holes 6 that match the fixing component 5. The fixing component 5 passes through the through holes 6 to achieve a detachable connection between the housing 1a and the top cover 1b.
[0044] The fixing component 5 includes a screw 5a and / or a silicone plug 5b.
[0045] In practical applications, the configuration of the fixing component 5 is quite flexible and diverse. It can be a traditional screw 5a, which ensures a reliable connection due to its excellent tightening performance; or it can be a silicone plug 5b, which provides additional cushioning and protection for the connection area by utilizing the good elasticity and sealing properties of silicone. In this embodiment, the fixing component 5 is preferably a combination of screw 5a and silicone plug 5b, which takes into account the dual advantages of tightening and sealing. In practical applications, different types of fixing components 5 can also be selected according to actual needs.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, at least one indicator light 7 is also included. The indicator light 7 is built into the device body 1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 3.
[0047] In practical applications, indicator light 7 can indicate the on / off state of the inductive switch 2; it can also determine the network status of the device, for example, a slow blue flashing light indicates no configuration, a fast blue flashing light indicates networking, and a solid blue light indicates a network connection; it can also determine the connection status between circuit board 3 and the external server, for example, a flashing green light indicates normal interaction; furthermore, if an abnormality occurs during device operation, such as insufficient power or connection problems with the external server, this can also be detected by indicator light 7, for example, indicator light 7 will turn red when an abnormality occurs. In practical applications, the status of indicator light 7 can be observed through the through-hole of button assembly 8, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown, indicator light 7 allows users to observe the status of the device in a timely manner to avoid affecting its use.
[0048] In one specific embodiment, a button assembly 8 is also included, which is exposed outside the device body 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 3.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the button assembly 8 includes a reset button 8a for clearing information data on the circuit board 3, and a reset button 8b for resetting the circuit board 3; both reset buttons 8a and 8b are electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The reset button 8a is very useful for clearing old data during device initialization or troubleshooting. For example, when the device has been used by a previous user and recycled for future use, data initialization can be quickly achieved using the reset button 8a for easy reuse. The reset button 8b allows the circuit board 3 to quickly and easily restart its program, which is crucial for device installation and debugging.
[0050] In one specific embodiment, the main body 1 of the device also includes a battery module 9, which is located on the side of the circuit board 3 away from the inductive switch 2 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The battery module 9 ensures that the entire device can still operate stably when disconnected from an external power source, thus meeting the requirements for portability and continuous power supply.
[0051] In one specific embodiment, a charging port 10 is also included. The charging port 10 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3 and is exposed on the main body 1 of the device. The design of the charging port 10 improves the overall ease of use and user experience.
[0052] In one specific embodiment, the charging port 10 includes one or more of a Type-C interface 4, a Lightning interface 4, and a USB interface 4. In practical applications, the charging port 10 can also be designed with other interface types as needed.
[0053] In one specific embodiment, the signal transmission module includes a wireless communication module. The signal transmission module enables more flexible and free data transmission and communication. The wireless communication module supports multiple communication protocols and standards, ensuring the reliability and stability of data transmission, while also providing strong support for remote control and monitoring of the device.
[0054] This application achieves automated monitoring of product delivery and usage through a sensor switch and a circuit board with a built-in signal transmission module. By detecting changes in the sensor switch's state, the circuit board can detect the installation and removal of devices and report the relevant information to the server via the signal transmission module. The server uses this information to confirm the product's delivery and usage status and automatically generates new delivery orders. This not only improves the efficiency of product management and reduces delivery costs but also minimizes manual intervention and enhances the user experience.
[0055] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the embodiments.
