Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics security inspection, and more particularly to the field of X-ray machines, specifically referring to a chip tag device that supports image binding function. Background Technology
[0002] In modern logistics and security inspections, X-ray machines are crucial equipment for detecting the safety of items inside packages. However, traditional X-ray machines only provide image information and cannot automatically identify and record specific package information, leading to low security inspection efficiency and susceptibility to human error. With increasing logistics volume and rising security requirements, the functional demands on X-ray machines are constantly increasing. Therefore, how to achieve automatic reading and recording of package information using X-ray machines has become an important research direction in the field of logistics security technology.
[0003] Currently, the main measures taken to solve the problem of X-ray machines being unable to automatically read package information include manually recording package information and using barcode scanners. For example, manually recording package information can achieve a certain degree of recording, but it is inefficient and prone to errors; using barcode scanners can achieve a certain degree of automatic identification of package information, but barcodes are easily obscured or damaged, and package information cannot be directly associated with X-ray images.
[0004] While existing technologies have improved X-ray machine parcel information reading to some extent, several problems and shortcomings remain. First, current manual recording methods are inefficient and error-prone, failing to meet the demands of large-scale logistics. Second, existing barcode scanners are easily obstructed or damaged and cannot directly correlate parcel information with X-ray images, leading to inaccurate information association. Furthermore, existing technologies have limitations in practical applications and are difficult to adapt to the needs of different logistics scenarios. Therefore, developing a novel automatic parcel information reading device for X-ray machines has significant practical importance and application value. Utility Model Content

[0063] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the main structure comprises an inlet infrared sensor, an RFID radio frequency reader, and an outlet infrared sensor. The inlet and outlet infrared sensors continuously emit infrared signals. These three sensors detect the time of package entry and exit and read images. Through sensor triggering, the ID number read by the RFID radio frequency reader within the time range is bound to the package image from the X-ray machine. The inlet and outlet infrared sensors act as trigger sources and synchronize with the RFID radio frequency reader.
[0064] The RFID reader is mounted on the structural beam at the exit of the X-ray machine via fixed holes. The bag inlet infrared sensor is installed at the X-ray machine's inlet, specifically at the entrance of the sliding conveyor belt, while the bag outlet infrared sensor is installed at the X-ray machine's exit, also at the exit of the sliding conveyor belt. The RFID reader is fixed close to the exit to minimize interference from the X-ray source and improve the success rate of ID reading.
[0065] The RFID tag information is transmitted to the input interface of the X-ray machine control motherboard of the electrical layout module, and then transmitted to the host computer through the output interface for the X-ray machine to bind the image.
[0066] The RFID reader is installed on the X-ray machine via a quick-release mechanism. The lower housing 34 of the RFID reader is made of lead sheet and steel plate. The transmission cable is transferred from the lower housing 34, which solves the problem of radiation leakage from the wire-sound opening. The RFID reader is installed in the channel using quick-release metal contacts, ensuring data transmission and power supply.
[0067] The coiled data cable is used for magnetic attachment and data interface. The cable is fixed inside the X-ray machine channel, and is connected from the RFID reader's lower housing 34 for secondary fixation of the RFID reader.
[0068] Each loop represents a signal line. To ensure reliable contact, the contact springs at the opposite end of the connector have one primary and one backup spring, except for the concentric circles where there is only one spring. The signal lines and contact springs are positioned to maintain connection, using magnetic attraction and contact points to ensure the RFID reader's USB data cable maintains continuous output.
[0069] The RFID reader has a circular protrusion in the middle, which engages with the circular groove in the lower shell 34 of the RFID reader. The outermost ring of the circular protrusion of the RFID reader is a magnetic ring, and the outermost ring of the lower surface of the lower shell 34 of the RFID reader is also a magnetic ring.
[0070] This device attaches a unique electronic tag to each package, binding the package image to the electronic tag for easy traceability. This chip tag device falls into the category of ultra-thin tags and is tamper-proof. The security inspection equipment itself is characterized by convenient reading, minimal interference, and ease of installation.
[0071] Both the side-view L-box assembly and the bottom-view L-box assembly are mounted on top of the case unit, while the collimator assembly is mounted on the upper part of the security inspection device, located below the side-view L-box. This device adds an RFID reader to the X-ray machine, giving it the ability to synchronously bind images. In practical applications, the RFID reader can use an industrial high-frequency 13.56MHz.
[0072] In the timing diagram, t1 represents the time when the package obstructs the infrared sensor at the package inlet. t2 represents the time when the RFID reader is activated. t3 represents the time when the package obstructs the infrared sensor at the package outlet.
[0073] As shown in the timing diagram, when a package enters the X-ray machine, it obstructs the infrared sensor at the package inlet. The sensor's voltage level changes, and the main control board, upon receiving this change, activates the RFID reader to read the package's unique serial number. When the sensor's voltage level drops from high to low, it indicates the package has fully entered the X-ray machine, and the image is completely scanned. The resulting image awaits RFID reading of the package's serial number for binding. When the package exits the X-ray machine, the infrared sensor's voltage level increases due to obstruction. After the package completely leaves the machine, the sensor's voltage level decreases. At this point, the system checks whether the image and RFID reading of the package's serial number have been successfully bound. If binding is unsuccessful, an alarm is triggered; otherwise, the process ends.
[0074] The principle of RFID tag reading is mainly based on electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic backscattering. In low-frequency and high-frequency RFID systems, the reader activates the RFID tag by emitting a changing magnetic field. When the RFID tag enters the reader's magnetic field range, its antenna generates an induced current, driving the chip to work. After reading or modifying the data stored internally, the chip transmits the data back to the reader as a radio frequency signal through the antenna. In ultra-high frequency RFID systems, the reader emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves to illuminate the RFID tag. After receiving the electromagnetic waves, the tag's antenna absorbs some of the energy and converts it into direct current to power the chip. The chip modulates the data to be transmitted onto the reflected electromagnetic waves and sends it back to the reader. After receiving the reflected electromagnetic waves, the reader recovers the original data through demodulation and decoding.
[0075] The workflow of an RFID system is as follows:
[0076] Transmitting radio frequency signals: The reader transmits radio frequency signals of a specific frequency through its antenna;
[0077] Tag activation: When the electronic tag enters the working area of the reader, the tag's antenna generates an induced current, activating the chip inside the tag;
[0078] Data transmission: The chip reads or modifies the data stored inside and sends the data back to the reader in the form of radio frequency signals through the antenna;
[0079] Signal processing: After the reader's receiving antenna receives the signal, it undergoes demodulation and decoding to transmit the valid information to the backend system for further processing;
[0080] Data processing: The backend system identifies the identity of the tag based on logical operations and performs corresponding processing and control.
