Battery is installed in the battery case 322 on the right and is fixed, and surrounding water-proofing treatment is carried out and covers battery cover 324.
According to the shell of 300 whole equipment of container monitoring device of the present embodiment using plastic shell, equipment is wide
Degree can be just placed in the groove of container, and moderate length can be placed among two column spinners of container, and height is not high
Height after the depth of groove of container adds foot key.Door sensor and equipment after container door is closed, on rotating arm
Interior door sensor tight closure.Whole equipment is fixed from the inside, on the one hand can be antitheft, on the other hand equipment can be made to be tightly fastened
In container wall, so that the ground plane of antenna greatly increases, satellite communication efficiency is improved.And positioning and the honeycomb day of equipment
Line is placed on the inner wall of equipment, and the aft antenna of installation and the elevation angle of sky are 90 °, considerably increases the efficiency of positioning and communication.
In addition, equipment has the ability for extending out sensor, the monitoring range and dynamics of equipment are increased.

The scope of the present invention.
In several embodiments provided herein, it should be understood that disclosed device and method can pass through it
Its mode is realized.For example, apparatus embodiments described above are merely indicative, for example, the division of the unit, only
Only a kind of logical function partition, there may be another division manner in actual implementation, such as multiple units or components can be tied
Another equipment is closed or is desirably integrated into, or some features can be ignored or not executed.
In the instructions provided here, numerous specific details are set forth.It is to be appreciated, however, that implementation of the invention
Example can be practiced without these specific details.In some instances, well known method, structure is not been shown in detail
And technology, so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.
Similarly, it should be understood that in order to simplify the present invention and help to understand one or more of the various inventive aspects,
To in the description of exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each feature of the invention be grouped together into sometimes single embodiment, figure,

The present invention claims features more more than feature expressly recited in each claim.More precisely, as corresponding
As claims reflect, inventive point is that all features less than some disclosed single embodiment can be used
Feature solves corresponding technical problem.Therefore, it then follows thus claims of specific embodiment are expressly incorporated in the tool
Body embodiment, wherein each, the claims themselves are regarded as separate embodiments of the invention.
It will be understood to those skilled in the art that any combination pair can be used other than mutually exclusive between feature
All features disclosed in this specification (including adjoint claim, abstract and attached drawing) and so disclosed any method
Or all process or units of equipment are combined.Unless expressly stated otherwise, this specification (is wanted including adjoint right
Ask, make a summary and attached drawing) disclosed in each feature can be replaced with an alternative feature that provides the same, equivalent, or similar purpose.
In addition, it will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that although some embodiments described herein include other embodiments
In included certain features rather than other feature, but the combination of the feature of different embodiments mean it is of the invention
Within the scope of and form different embodiments.For example, in detail in the claims, embodiment claimed it is one of any
Can in any combination mode come using.
Various component embodiments of the invention can be implemented in hardware, or to run on one or more processors
Software module realize, or be implemented in a combination thereof.It will be understood by those of skill in the art that can be used in practice
Microprocessor or digital signal processor (DSP) realize some moulds in article analytical equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention
The some or all functions of block.The present invention is also implemented as a part or complete for executing method as described herein
The program of device (for example, computer program and computer program product) in portion.It is such to realize that program of the invention can store
On a computer-readable medium, it or may be in the form of one or more signals.Such signal can be from internet
Downloading obtains on website, is perhaps provided on the carrier signal or is provided in any other form.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the invention, and ability
Field technique personnel can be designed alternative embodiment without departing from the scope of the appended claims.In the claims,
Any reference symbol between parentheses should not be configured to limitations on claims.Word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of not
Element or step listed in the claims.Word "a" or "an" located in front of the element does not exclude the presence of multiple such
