[0038] Example 1

[0039] 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:

[0040] A device capable of sensing changes in the state of goods includes a housing 1, a sensor switch 2, and a circuit board 3; the housing 1 has a receiving space A, and the sensor switch 2 and the circuit board 3 are located in the receiving space A; the sensor switch 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 has a signal transmission module.

[0041] The housing 1 has an inwardly recessed interface 4 for attaching goods on the side near the induction switch 2, so that 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; the projection of the center of gravity of the device on the plane where the interface 4 is located is within the coverage area of ​​the interface 4.

[0042] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a device capable of intelligently sensing changes in the status of goods. The housing 1 serves as the protective outer shell of the entire device, and its interior is designed with a receiving space A to house key components such as the induction switch 2 and the circuit board 3. The induction switch 2 and the circuit board 3 are tightly arranged and electrically connected within the receiving space A. In this embodiment, the induction switch 2 and the circuit board 3 are an integrated structure. The circuit board 3 not only handles the signal processing of the induction switch 2 but also incorporates a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module is responsible for uploading the status change information generated by the induction switch 2 to an external server, enabling 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.

[0043] Further details are attached. Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is recessed inward on the side near the sensor switch 2 to form a flexible interface 4 for attaching goods. In practical applications, this embodiment can be applied to bottled water. The initial state of the sensor switch 2 is open. When the device of this embodiment is attached to the bottle opening of the bottled water via the interface 4, the device and the bottle opening press against the sensor switch 2, causing the sensor switch 2 to change from open to closed. The closing action of the sensor 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 sensor switch 2 to change from closed to open. The opening action of the sensor 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.

[0044] In addition, the projection of the device's center of gravity onto the plane where interface 4 is located is exactly within the coverage area of ​​interface 4, effectively preventing the device from accidentally tipping over or shaking during the process of connecting or separating goods, and further ensuring its stable and safe operation.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 includes a main housing 1a and a side cover 1b; the main housing 1a is provided with a receiving space A, and an interface 4 is recessed inward on the side of the main housing 1a near the inductive switch 2; the side cover 1b is connected to the side of the main housing 1a away from the interface 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 1 adopts a split design, consisting of a main housing 1a and a side cover 1b. The main housing 1a has an internal space A for accommodating core components such as the inductive switch 2 and the circuit board 3. An interface 4 is recessed inward on the side of the main housing 1a near the mounting position of the inductive switch 2. In practical applications, the interface 4 can securely attach to the product, enabling the device to accurately sense and respond instantly to changes in the product's status.

[0047] Furthermore, to enhance the overall stability and protective performance of the device, a side cover 1b is provided on the side of the main housing 1a away from the interface 4. This cover not only effectively seals the opening of the accommodating space A, preventing external factors such as dust and moisture from damaging the internal components, but also provides additional protection and support for the entire device through its robust material and reasonable structural design. This modular structure not only facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the device, but also greatly facilitates its subsequent maintenance and upgrades.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, interface 4, inductive switch 2, and circuit board 3 are arranged sequentially from interface 4 to side cover 1b. The entire layout is compact and efficient, meeting the dual requirements of functionality and ease of use of the device.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a fixing component 5. The side cover 1b has a first fixing groove 1b1 that matches the fixing component 5 recessed on the part facing the main housing 1a. The main housing 1a is provided with a second fixing groove 1a1 that corresponds to the first fixing groove 1b1.

[0050] The first fixing groove 1b1 has a first through hole 1b2 that matches the fixing component 5, and the second fixing groove 1a1 has a second through hole 1a2 that matches the fixing component 5. The fixing component 5 passes through the first through hole 1b2 and the second through hole 1a2 in sequence, and abuts against the inner walls of the first fixing groove 1b1 and the second fixing groove 1a1 respectively, so as to realize the detachable connection between the side cover 1b and the main housing 1a. This not only achieves a tight fit between the side cover 1b and the main housing 1a, but also makes the side cover 1b and the main housing 1a detachable, which facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement operations. This ensures that the entire device is stable while also taking into account the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the fixing component 5 includes a first fixing part 5a and a second fixing part 5b; the first fixing part 5a passes through the first through hole 1b2 and the second through hole 1a2 in sequence, and abuts against the inner walls of the first fixing groove 1b1 and the second fixing groove 1a1 respectively; the second fixing part 5b is connected to the side of the first fixing part 5a away from the second fixing groove 1a1 and abuts against the inner wall of the first fixing groove 1b1.

[0052] The first fixing part 5a includes a screw, and the second fixing part 5b includes a silicone plug. The screw's excellent thread design and material strength ensure a firm connection. The silicone plug not only has good elasticity and sealing properties, but also absorbs vibration to a certain extent, reduces noise, and is aesthetically pleasing, thus balancing the stability, reliability, and durability of the connection.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the inductive switch 2 and the circuit board 3 include an integrated structure; this not only enhances the robustness and coordination between components but also simplifies the assembly process.

[0054] Furthermore, the inductive switch 2 includes a push-button switch. When the interface 4 is successfully connected to the product, the external structure of the interface 4 will moderately press against the inductive switch 2, causing the internal contacts of the switch to close. Conversely, when the interface 4 is separated from the product, the pressure originally applied to the inductive switch 2 disappears, and the internal contacts of the switch open. This design ensures immediate feedback on the interface connection status, improving the accuracy and reliability of equipment operation.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the device also includes a battery module 6 and a charging port 7. The battery module 6 is located in the accommodating space A. The battery module 6 is disposed 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 6 ensures that the entire device can still operate stably when disconnected from an external power source, thus meeting the requirements of portability and continuous power supply.

[0056] The charging port 7 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3 and is exposed outside the housing 1. In practical applications, the charging port 7 can be designed with various interface types, including but not limited to Type-C, Lightning, or USB interfaces. It can also be designed with other interface types or combinations of multiple interface types to meet different usage requirements.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, at least one indicator light 8 is also included, which is built into the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 3.

[0058] In practical applications, indicator light 8 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 indicator light 7 indicates no configuration, a fast blue flashing indicator light 7 indicates networking, and a solid blue indicator light 7 indicates a network connection; it can also determine the connection status between circuit board 3 and the external server, for example, a flashing green indicator light 7 indicates normal interaction; furthermore, if an abnormality occurs during device operation, such as insufficient power or abnormal connection to the external server, it can also be determined through indicator light 8, for example, indicator light 8 will turn red when an abnormality occurs. In practical applications, the state 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 8 allows users to observe the status of the device in a timely manner to avoid affecting its use.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, it also includes a button assembly 9, which is exposed outside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 3.

[0060] The button assembly 9 includes a reset button 9a for clearing information data on the circuit board 3, and a reset button 9b for resetting the circuit board 3; both the reset button 9a and the reset button 9b are electrically connected to the circuit board 3.

[0061] The reset button 9a is very useful for clearing old data during device initialization or troubleshooting. For example, when the device has been used by the previous user and recycled for the next use, the data can be quickly initialized by the reset button 9a for easy use next time. The reset button 8b can quickly and easily make the circuit board 3 restart the program, which is essential for device installation and debugging.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
