Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of logistics and transportation monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a combined goods transportation status indicator. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by both socio-economic development and consumption upgrading, the requirements for product transportation safety are becoming increasingly stringent. Goods, raw materials, and various manufactured goods often need to traverse long geographical distances before reaching their final consumption or usage locations. With the continuous growth of commodity circulation, ensuring the safety and integrity of goods during logistics transportation has become a focus of attention both within and outside the industry. Although most goods maintain their original quality during transportation and distribution, some special goods still have more stringent requirements for shockproof, impact-proof, drop-proof, and tilt-proof conditions. Improper handling during transportation and loading / unloading operations, such as vibration, impact, or tilting, can easily damage goods, thereby affecting the smoothness and efficiency of the entire supply chain.
[0003] Currently, while the industry has implemented various measures to prevent mishandling during transportation, such as printing operating instructions on packaging boxes as warning labels, these measures are essentially passive defenses. They cannot proactively inform the recipient whether the goods have been improperly handled, nor can they clearly distinguish the specific factors that caused the damage during transportation, thus creating difficulties in determining liability. Therefore, an innovative solution is urgently needed. This solution should be simple in structure, highly resistant to interference (e.g., able to withstand minor vibrations during handling), and able to visually display and record whether the goods have experienced vibrations, impacts, or tilting in a specific direction during transportation. This would provide a clear basis for the division of responsibility at each stage of cargo transportation, thereby improving overall freight efficiency.
[0004] Against this backdrop, this utility model proposes a combined goods transportation status indicator, which not only achieves all-round shock monitoring and can accurately detect whether the goods have tilted beyond a preset angle, but also effectively solves the problem of liability determination in goods transportation, providing strong support for improving freight safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a combined goods transportation status indicator, which not only achieves all-round shock monitoring and can accurately detect whether the goods have tilted beyond a preset angle, but also effectively solves the problem of liability determination in goods transportation, providing strong support for improving freight safety and timeliness.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0036] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 15 A combined goods transportation status indicator includes a status indicator box 1, which is made of transparent material. A label is fixedly affixed to the surface of the status indicator box, and the surface of the label has directional arrows. The directional arrows provide users with clear directions, making it easy to quickly identify the installation direction and monitoring focus of the indicator during transportation and inspection, thus improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. A label 16 is fixedly affixed to the surface of the status indicator box. The status indicator box is provided with a tilt status indicator area 11 and an impact status indicator area 12. A tilt angle detection component 3 is provided in the tilt status indicator area. The tilt angle detection component can monitor the tilt angle of the goods in real time. When the tilt angle exceeds a preset threshold, it can trigger a corresponding indicator signal, providing an effective means of monitoring the tilt status during transportation. The impact status indicator area is horizontally set on the upper part of the outer surface of the status indicator box, and an impact monitoring indicator component 2 is fixedly installed on the label. The impact monitoring indicator component can monitor the impact of the goods in real time. When the impact force exceeds a preset threshold, it can also trigger an indicator signal, providing effective monitoring and recording of impact events during transportation. The surface of the label is provided with a monitoring indicator component mounting groove 13. A colored back plate 4 is fixedly installed on the back of the status indicator box. The outer surface of the colored back plate is provided with an adhesive layer and a release paper 5. This achieves quick and firm adhesion between the indicator and the surface of the goods, and at the same time, it is easy to peel off when needed, improving the convenience of use.
[0037] More preferably, the tilt angle detection component 3 includes a tilt angle preset groove 34 formed by a tilt baffle 31, a positioning block 32 and a blocking block 33, and a rolling shield 35 disposed in the tilt angle preset groove. A tilt state indicator window 14 is provided on the label of the status indicator box corresponding to the rolling shield. The preset groove provides a limited movement space for the rolling shield, ensuring that the shield can only move within a specific angle range. When the goods are tilted beyond the preset angle, the rolling shield will detach from the tilt angle preset groove 34 and fall into the status indicator box through the outlet between the blocking block 33 and the upper end of the tilt baffle 31, and the state is irreversible; the tilt angle preset groove exposes the color of the colored back panel (red); the locking hole 41 of the colored back panel corresponding to the position of the shield is provided with a limiting post 42 in the locking hole to make the rolling shield position in the tilt angle preset groove, and a limiting guard plate 43 is provided on the outside of the limiting post. The limiting guard plate is pasted on the release paper 5 by an adhesive piece. The limiting post ensures that the shield will not fail accidentally before pasting the item or packaging box. When the release paper is torn off, the limiting guard plate will detach from the colored back panel along with the release paper, and then be pasted on the item or logistics box in the direction of the upward direction of the direction mark arrow, and enter the tilt monitoring state.
[0038] More preferably, the back of the status indicator box is provided with a colored back plate support platform 15 around its back side to ensure the installation position of the colored back plate, while preventing the colored back plate from sinking excessively into the status indicator box and affecting the movement of the rolling shield.
[0039] The impact monitoring indicator assembly includes a substrate 21, on the side of the substrate facing away from the release paper layer, an arc-shaped groove 22 extending along the length direction. The design effect of the arc-shaped groove is that it can fit and fix the monitoring indicator tube 3 that changes color when subjected to drop or shock impact, ensuring that the monitoring indicator tube can work stably when impacted. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure also helps to disperse the impact force and protect the monitoring indicator tube from damage.
[0040] The arc-shaped groove has a through-hole 23 for the monitoring indicator tube. The advantage of this design is that it allows users to directly observe the changes in the state inside the monitoring indicator tube through a viewing window, thereby determining whether the object has experienced an impact.
[0041] The two sides of the arc-shaped groove are integrally formed with limiting claw structures 24 for radially limiting and fixing the impact monitoring tube. The technical effect of the limiting claw structure is that it can ensure the stable installation of the monitoring indicator tube in the arc-shaped groove and prevent it from shifting during transportation or use, thereby affecting the monitoring accuracy.
[0042] More preferably, the limiting claw structure 24 includes symmetrically arranged elastic clamping arms 241, the free end of which is provided with an arc-shaped limiting boss 242 protruding towards the monitoring tube. The technical advantage of the arc-shaped limiting boss is that it can closely fit the outer wall of the monitoring indicator tube, providing radial limiting fixation, while the design of the elastic clamping arms also facilitates the installation of the monitoring indicator tube.
[0043] More preferably, the bottom of the arc-shaped groove is provided with a structural groove 25 corresponding to the position of the elastic clamping arm. The structural groove serves as a mold core-pulling channel, and its draft angle is adapted to the molding shrinkage rate of the elastic clamping arm to ensure that the clamping arm does not deform and demold during injection molding;
[0044] On the other hand, the structural groove serves as an installation verification window. By observing the window, the position of the prefabricated axial color ring on the pipe body can be identified, thus achieving a foolproof design for the installation direction.
[0045] More preferably, the free end of the elastic clamping arm is provided with a wedge-shaped guide surface 243. The technical advantage of the wedge-shaped guide surface is that it can guide the monitoring indicator tube to slide smoothly into the arc-shaped groove, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation efficiency.
[0046] This embodiment uses a conventional monitoring indicator tube 26, mainly comprising a transparent outer tube 261 and a colored agent containing tube 262. The colored agent containing tube is located inside the transparent outer tube and is filled with a colored agent emulsion (containing bright red pigment particles, dispersant, antifreeze, etc.). The colored agent emulsion can quickly develop color through direct mixing. The inner surface of the transparent outer tube is coated with a color-developing and dispersing coating, for example, a nano-dispersing coating containing a fluorescent agent. The technical effect of the color-developing and dispersing coating is that when the colored agent is released from the containing tube and comes into contact with the color-developing and dispersing coating, it can quickly diffuse the colored agent, expanding the color development area, thereby visually reflecting whether the item has experienced an impact. At least one end of the transparent outer tube is sealed with adhesive 263. When the colored agent containing tube experiences an external impact exceeding N times the acceleration due to gravity (where N is a positive integer), the colored agent inside enters the dispersion chamber and comes into contact with the color-developing dispersion coating, forming an observable colored area to indicate the impact event. Generally, based on the shock and impact resistance requirements of the transported goods, it is available in five specifications: 25g, 37g, 50g, 75g, and 100g, where g represents the acceleration due to gravity. The technical advantage of this conventional monitoring indicator tube lies in its simple structure, low cost, and ability to meet the impact monitoring needs during the transportation of general goods.
[0047] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 16 This embodiment provides a monitoring indicator tube structure suitable for recirculating logistics boxes, which adopts a fusion-type permanent sealing structure to improve the durability and reusability of the monitoring indicator tube.
[0048] Specifically, the monitoring indicator tube includes a transparent outer tube 261 made of a heat-sealing material, preferably a quartz transistor design, to maintain optical transparency and chemical inertness. This ensures clear identification of the colored area even after long-term use, avoiding monitoring errors caused by material degradation. The inner surface of the transparent outer tube is coated with a color-dispersing coating. A colored agent receiving tube 262 is disposed inside the outer tube, with a length shorter than the outer tube, and the two are coaxially arranged. This coaxial arrangement ensures that the colored agent is evenly dispersed on the inner surface of the outer tube during release, improving monitoring accuracy.
[0049] The first end of the colored agent receiving tube and the first end of the outer tube are sealed by heat fusion to form a first sealed end 264, and the second end of the colored agent receiving tube is open; the second end of the outer tube is sealed by heat fusion to form a second sealed end 265, thus forming a sealed dispersion cavity between the outer tube and the colored agent receiving tube. The use of a homogeneous material heat fusion sealing process to replace traditional adhesives eliminates interfacial bonding stress through molecular-level fusion bonding, significantly reducing the risk of leakage in the sealing structure and maintaining seal integrity even under extreme temperature cycling; it avoids interference from residual organic solvents in adhesives on the colorimetric reaction, significantly improving the stability of colorimetric sensitivity and ensuring the accuracy of monitoring data; the synergistic design of the sealing width and arc-shaped end enhances the structure's resistance to crushing, effectively resisting transportation vibrations and accidental impacts, and reducing the risk of seal failure. The technical advantage of the fusion-type permanent sealing structure is that it ensures the monitoring indicator tube maintains its seal during multiple uses, preventing colored agent leakage, thereby improving the durability and reusability of the monitoring indicator tube.
[0050] More preferably, the weld width between the first sealing end and the second sealing end is 1.5–2.5 mm, and the ends have an arc-shaped closed structure. The technical advantages of this weld width and arc-shaped closed structure are that they can ensure the reliability and stability of the seal, while the arc-shaped structure also helps to disperse impact force and protect the sealing end from damage.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
