Abstract

The invention comprises the combination of a series of mechanical and electronic elements which interact in order to serve as a "hermetic latch" for containers and to make it possible, on the one hand, to remotely detect, using the cellular mobile telephone networks and the constellation of low-orbit satellites, the opened and closed state both of the doors of the container and of the electromechanical "hermetic latch" system itself with regard to a possible violation attempt, making it possible to determine whether an attempt was made to open said system or whether said system was really opened, and, on the other hand, to recognize, in real time, the geographical position of the container, determined in degrees of longitude and latitude, in addition to monitoring and generating alarm states of various telemetric variables of the freight using wired or wireless temperature, humidity, acceleration and vibration sensors of the container. The combination of elements of the invention is contained in a box which guarantees that said combination of elements is invulnerable to intervention by third parties and is hermetic with respect to extreme environmental conditions such as sun and rain. In addition, the "hermetic latch" has a closure mechanism which is especially designed to be installed and removed in a quick process which takes less than one minute, allowing periodic reports to be sent from the moment it is installed such that it can be followed (monitoring or/and traceability) from a remote centre.

DISPOSITIVO ELECTROMECÁNICO DE CIERRE Y MONITOREO DE CONTENEDORES DE CARGA ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE FOR CLOSURE AND MONITORING OF CARGO CONTAINERS
Campo TecnológicoTechnological Field
Esta invención se refiere en general a un cierre de seguridad para el transporte de contenedores de carga y particularmente a un mecanismo electromecánico o "candado hermético" que se ubica en Ia puerta del contenedor y que asegura su inviolabilidad y a su vez, permite monitorearlo en tiempo real.This invention relates in general to a safety lock for the transport of cargo containers and particularly to an electromechanical mechanism or "hermetic lock" that is located in the container door and that ensures its inviolability and in turn, allows it to be monitored in time. real.
AntecedentesBackground
En el transporte terrestre y fluvial de carga, existe Ia necesidad sentida pero insatisfecha, de implementar métodos que permitan garantizar Ia inviolabilidad de los contenedores, su monitoreo y trazabilidad. Lo anterior, por cuanto los productos o sistemas existentes son rudimentarios y por ende, no permiten determinar con certeza si los contenedores han sido abiertos durante el recorrido y tampoco, reportan ni permiten operación. remota sobre ellos.In land and river freight transport, there is a felt but unsatisfied need to implement methods that guarantee the inviolability of containers, their monitoring and traceability. The above, since the existing products or systems are rudimentary and therefore, do not allow to determine with certainty if the containers have been opened during the tour and neither do they report or allow operation. remote over them.
En Ia actualidad, los contenedores de carga son empacados y luego sellados con cierres o precintos mecánicos (candados, cables acerados, sellos de cera sobre cables, cintas adhesivas, etc.), que no permiten conocer ninguna información sobre el contenedor ni su carga. Los dueños de los contenedores, los transportadores y los dueños de Ia carga, tienen interés en saber su posición y condiciones, condiciones que cada día son exigidas con mayor insistencia por las autoridades que fijan los estándares internacionales de transporte de carga entre países, como son el BASQ europeo y el CSI norteamericano.At present, the cargo containers are packed and then sealed with mechanical seals or seals (padlocks, steel wires, wax seals on cables, adhesive tapes, etc.), which do not allow to know any information about the container or its cargo. The owners of the containers, the transporters and the owners of the cargo have an interest in knowing their position and conditions, conditions that are increasingly demanded by the authorities that set the international standards of freight transport between countries, such as the European BASQ and the North American CSI.
Cuando un contenedor de carga viaja por tierra hacia el puerto marítimo se Ie coloca un precinto de seguridad en Ia puerta al contenedor con el fin de chequear al final del recorrido el estado físico del precinto y determinar si el contenedor fue abierto durante su recorrido.When a cargo container travels by land to the seaport, a security seal is placed on the door to the container in order to check the physical state of the seal at the end of the tour and determine if the container was opened during its journey.
Estos precintos de seguridad tienen forma de cordones de zapatos y son metidos por un orificio y un ojal en Ia puerta del contenedor de tal forma que si el contenedor se abre el precinto se rompe. Los precintos están fabricados en diferentes materiales como plástico, aluminio, cable de guaya y tienen inscritos un serial correspondiente al número del precinto;These security seals are shaped like shoelaces and are inserted through a hole and an eyelet in the door of the container so that if the container is opened the seal is broken. The seals are made of different materials such as plastic, aluminum, guava cable and have a serial number corresponding to the seal number;
Sin embargo, los precintos con tales características son falsificados en grandes cantidades y formas para ajustarse cada vez más al nuevo modelo de precintoαitilizado en el transporte de contenedores, Io que permite que el contenedor sea abierto durante su recorrido y el precinto roto pueda ser reemplazado por otro con las mismas características y el mismo numero de serial haciendo una labor casi imposible detectar en el puerto cual contenedor ha sido abierto durante su recorrido.However, seals with such characteristics are falsified in large quantities and ways to conform more and more to the new seal model used in container transport, which allows the container to be opened during its journey and the broken seal can be replaced by another with the same characteristics and the same serial number making it almost impossible to detect in the port which container has been opened during its journey.
Cuando en el puerto marítimo detectan que un contenedor pudo haber sido vulnerado durante su recorrido, inmediatamente dicho contenedor entra en un proceso de investigación, apertura, revisión de Ia carga que demora su partida hacia su destino final y que tiene un costo adicional para el dueño de Ia carga complicando todo el proceso de despacho de mercancías.When in the sea port they detect that a container may have been violated during its journey, said container immediately enters a process of investigation, opening, review of the cargo that delays its departure towards its final destination and that has an additional cost for the owner of the load complicating the entire process of goods dispatch.
También se han desarrollado dispositivos de seguimiento para contenedores de carga con sistemas magnéticos de sujeción, es decir que se adhieren al contenedor mediante un mecanismo de imanes los cuales pueden ser fácilmente removidos y vulnerados, cuyo enfoque va encaminado a Ia ubicación y posicionamiento de Ia mercancía así como Ia medición de variables telemétricas de Ia carga pero no brindan un sistema de seguridad físico para cerrar Ia puerta del contenedor.Tracking devices for cargo containers with magnetic fastening systems have also been developed, that is, they adhere to the container through a magnet mechanism which They can be easily removed and violated, whose approach is aimed at the location and positioning of the merchandise as well as the measurement of telemetric variables of the cargo but does not provide a physical security system to close the container door.

El dispositivo consta de una caja que contiene un conjunto de elementos mecánicos y electrónicos, y de una barra dentada (3) que sale de Ia caja por Ia parte lateral a media altura hasta terminar en un soporte semi- cilíndrico alargado hacia Ia cara trasera del dispositivo, (es decir hacia Ia cara donde se ubica Ia tapa de acceso trasero (12)), con cubierta protectora de caucho (14) y consta también de otro soporte semi-cilíndrico alargado igual al anterior dispuesto en Ia misma parte lateral por donde sale Ia barra dentada (3), que se ajustan a las barras centrales típicas de Ia puerta de un contenedor de carga. Estos soportes semi-cilíndricos alargados hacia Ia cara trasera (2) tienen Ia característica importante de ser más alargados hacia Ia parte interna del soporte que queda más cerca de Ia puerta del contenedor para evitar que Ia caja pueda ser halada y removida a Ia fuerza, y tienen por Io tanto un perfil esencialmente en forma de J ó alternativamente en forma de U. Es importante mencionar que entre Ia barra dentada y Ia caja que contiene los elementos del sistema, por los dos lados en que esta entra y sale de Ia misma, se ubica un elemento o protuberancia que sirve como techo protector contra el agua (19), Io que evita el ingreso de lluvia hacia el interior.The device consists of a box containing a set of mechanical and electronic elements, and a toothed bar (3) that leaves the box from the lateral part at medium height until it ends in a semi-cylindrical support elongated towards the rear face of the device, (that is, towards the face where the rear access cover (12)) is located, with protective rubber cover (14) and also consists of another semi-cylindrical support elongated equal to the previous one disposed in the same lateral part where the toothed bar (3) leaves, which adjust to the typical central bars of the door of a cargo container. These semi-cylindrical supports elongated towards the rear face (2) have the important characteristic of being more elongated towards the internal part of the support that is closer to the door of the container to avoid that the box can be pulled and removed by force, and therefore have an essentially J-shaped or alternatively U-shaped profile. It is important to mention that between the toothed bar and the box containing the elements of the system, on the two sides on which it enters and leaves the same , there is an element or protuberance that serves as a protective roof against water (19), which prevents the entrance of rain into the interior.
El mecanismo de cierre y ajuste tiene internamente un piñón de ajuste (4) que mueve Ia barra dentada (3) en sentido horizontal mediante una palanca de movimiento (11) removible en el exterior de Ia caja ajusfándola a Ia medida necesaria de cada contenedor por un operador. Dicho piñónThe closing and adjustment mechanism internally has an adjustment pinion (4) that moves the toothed bar (3) horizontally by means of a removable movement lever (11) outside the box, adjusting it to the necessary measurement of each container by an operator Said pinion
(4) a su vez es sujetado por un barrote de seguridad (5) que es accionado por Ia primera cerradura de seguridad (6). El barrote de seguridad (5) esta dispuesto de tal forma que deja rotar el piñón (4) en el sentido de cerrar el candado pero impide que gire en sentido contrarío. Por Io tanto, solamente puede girar en sentido contrario para ser abierto y desinstalado del contenedor cuando Ia primera cerradura de seguridad (6) es accionada. El perfil de dicho barrote de seguridad, de acuerdo con Ia presente invención tiene preferiblemente Ia forma del símbolo "~". Dicha primera cerradura (6) se encuentra ubicada hacia Ia parte lateral para prevenir el acceso de polvo dentro de Ia misma.(4) in turn is held by a security bar (5) that is actuated by the first security lock (6). The safety bar (5) is arranged in such a way that the pinion (4) rotates in the direction of closing the lock but prevents it from turning in the opposite direction. Therefore, it can only turn in the opposite direction to be opened and uninstalled from the container when the first security lock (6) is actuated. The profile of said safety bar, according to the present invention preferably has the shape of the "~" symbol. Said first lock (6) is located towards the side to prevent access of dust within it.
El dispositivo tiene además de Ia primera cerradura de seguridad (6) que permite el movimiento del piñón (4), una segunda cerradura de seguridadThe device also has the first security lock (6) that allows the movement of the pinion (4), a second security lock
(7) que Ie permite el acceso a todos los elementos que componen el dispositivo dentro de Ia caja. Esta segunda cerradura de seguridad (7) está ubicada en Ia cara posterior de Ia caja para evitar que terceros puedan tener acceso a ella cuando el dispositivo se encuentra instalado en el contenedor de carga brindándole mayor seguridad ante posibles intentos de violación durante el recorrido. Dicha segunda cerradura (7) solo necesita ser accionada para efectos de mantenimiento de los componentes internos. Por Io tanto, Ia primera cerradura de seguridad (6) ubicada en Ia cara lateral sirve para ajustar o desinstalar Ia caja del contenedor y Ia segunda cerradura de seguridad (7) ubicada en Ia cara posterior sirve para tener acceso a los componentes internos del dispositivo.(7) that allows access to all the elements that make up the device inside the box. This second security lock (7) is located on the rear face of the box to prevent third parties from having access to it when the device is installed in the cargo container, giving it greater security in the event of possible violations during the journey. Said second lock (7) only needs to be operated for maintenance purposes of the internal components. Therefore, the first security lock (6) located on the side face serves to adjust or uninstall the container box and the second security lock (7) located on the rear face serves to access the internal components of the device .
Otra característica importante de Ia caja que contiene los elementos, es el mecanismo de detección de apertura de Ia misma, que consta de un primer interruptor de apertura (16) que se activa cuando Ia primera cerradura de seguridad (6) gira al ajustar o desinstalar Ia caja del contenedor, y un segundo interruptor de apertura (10) que se activa cuando remueven Ia tapa de acceso trasero (12) ubicada en Ia cara anterior para tener acceso a los componentes internos del dispositivo. Cuando alguno de estos interruptores es activado, el dispositivo envía una señal de alerta por cualquiera de las redes de comunicaciones a las que tenga acceso para informar el suceso en Ia estación remota, ya sea vía red celular cuando el sistema se encuentre en un lugar con Ia suficiente cobertura para hacerlo o ya sea vía satélite si el dispositivo se encuentra en algún lugar sin cobertura celular, debido a que el sistema cuenta con Ia capacidad de ajustar sus transmisiones a las necesidades de Ia situación Io que convierte a Ia invención en un sistema de reporte de eventos "dual".Another important feature of the box containing the elements is the opening detection mechanism thereof, which consists of a first opening switch (16) that is activated when the first security lock (6) rotates when adjusting or uninstalling The container box, and a second opening switch (10) that is activated when they remove the rear access cover (12) located on the front face to access the internal components of the device. When any of these switches is activated, the device sends an alert signal through any of the communications networks to which it has access to report the event in the remote station, either via cellular network when the system is in a place with The sufficient coverage to do it or by satellite if the device is somewhere without cellular coverage, because the system has the ability to adjust its transmissions to the needs of the situation which makes the invention a system of "dual" event report.
Los elementos en el interior del dispositivo van interconectados entre si a través de un tubo coaxial de cableado (17) diseñado especialmente para proteger los filamentos electrónicos que por allí pasan de las rotaciones del piñón de ajuste (4) cuando el dispositivo es instalado o desinstalado en el contenedor de carga evitando "daños internos entre el modulo mecánico y el modulo electrónico. Los cables que interconectan los elementos en el interior del dispositivo son alojados en un compartimiento especial (13) instalado debajo de Ia batería (8) para su protección. Dicho compartimiento especial (13) tiene doble lámina y varios agujeros (18) dispuestos de tal manera que actúan como medio de desagüe en caso de que Ie ingrese agua o humedad permitiendo que el agua drene hacia el exterior y al mismo tiempo impide que se Ie introduzca algún objeto contundente y punzante hacia el interior para ocasionar daño interno al dispositivo.The elements inside the device are interconnected with each other through a coaxial wiring tube (17) specially designed for protect the electronic filaments that pass there from the rotations of the adjusting pinion (4) when the device is installed or uninstalled in the cargo container avoiding " internal damage between the mechanical module and the electronic module. The cables that interconnect the elements in The interior of the device is housed in a special compartment (13) installed under the battery (8) for protection, said special compartment (13) has a double sheet and several holes (18) arranged in such a way that they act as a means of drainage. in the event that water or moisture enters, allowing water to drain outwards and at the same time prevents any blunt and sharp objects from being introduced inside to cause internal damage to the device.
Otra característica importante que rompe con el paradigma en los sistemas móviles de seguridad y seguimiento GPS en el mundo es Ia inserción de una tapa superior de vidrio blindado (1) con el doble fin de proporcionar protección a las antenas del sistema y al mismo tiempo darles las condiciones necesarias de señal para una transmisión y recepción de datos óptima. El vidrio blindado (1) es Ia unión de tres placas de vidrio intercaladas con dos laminas plásticas de polivinil butiral (PVB). Estas laminas plásticas combinan las propiedades del vidrio como son Ia transparencia y las cualidades ópticas que ofrece con las propias del PVB como son Ia adherencia, elongación y resistencia, absorbiendo Ia energía de los impactos y manteniendo su adherencia al vidrio.Another important feature that breaks the paradigm in mobile security and GPS tracking systems in the world is the insertion of an armored glass top cover (1) with the double purpose of providing protection to the system antennas and at the same time giving them the necessary signal conditions for optimal data transmission and reception. The armored glass (1) is the union of three glass plates interspersed with two plastic sheets of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). These plastic sheets combine the properties of glass such as transparency and the optical qualities it offers with those of the PVB such as adhesion, elongation and resistance, absorbing the energy of impacts and maintaining its adhesion to glass.
En forma sorprendente e ingeniosa se ha encontrado que el vidrio blindado (1) tiene Ia solución para proporcionarle al sistema las condiciones necesarias de transmisión que se relacionan con Ia penetración de Ia radiación electromagnética. La radiación electromagnética reacciona de manera desigual en función de su frecuencia y del material con el que entra en contacto debido a que el nivel de penetración es inversamente proporcional a su frecuencia (cuando Ia radiación electromagnética es de baja frecuencia, atraviesa limpiamente barreras a su paso y cuando es de alta frecuencia reacciona mas con los materiales que tiene a su paso), es decir, que dependiendo de Ia frecuencia de Ia onda electromagnética, puede no atravesar algunos medios.Surprisingly and ingeniously, it has been found that the armored glass (1) has the solution to provide the system with the necessary transmission conditions that are related to the penetration of the electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation reacts unevenly depending on its frequency and the material with which it comes into contact because the The level of penetration is inversely proportional to its frequency (when the electromagnetic radiation is low frequency, it crosses cleanly barriers in its path and when it is high frequency it reacts more with the materials it has in its path), that is, depending on the The frequency of the electromagnetic wave may not pass through some means.
