1 and 2, a locking device 10 of a passive-type storage box 1 to which a passive-type storage box real-time utilization information confirmation system using a locking-state recognition module according to the present invention is applied, (1) can be opened or locked.

At this time, the lock ring 12 rotatably provided inside the lock device 10 rotates according to the rotation direction of the lock key so as to be locked in the lateral direction, and when the lock ring 12 is in the longitudinal direction, .

In order to detect in which direction the locking ring 12 of the locking device 10 is actuated in accordance with the principle of this locking device 10, in the present invention, a lock state 10 for detecting the opening and locking state of the locking device 10 The detection module 100 detects a detection signal related to the open and locked states and converts the detected signals into state data in the form of a digital signal and transmits the state data to the management server 200.

The passive type storage room real time utilization information checking system using the locking state recognition module according to the present invention detects the opening and locking states of the locking ring 12 of the locking device 10 provided in the passive type storage box 1 A lock status recognition module 100 for analyzing and converting status data of the lock detection sensor unit 110 when the detection signal is input; and a status recognition module 100 for receiving the status data of the lock status recognition module 100 via the network, And a management server 200 that registers the usage information with respect to the usage information.

At this time, the plurality of lock state recognizing modules 100 transmit the status data to the management server 200 in association with a wireless AP (Access Point) 210. The wireless AP (Access Point) 210 receives data in a one-to-N communication with the lock status recognition module 100 installed in a plurality of the article storage boxes 1 and detects status data of the storage box in real time To the management server (200).

The real-time utilization information of the goods storage box 1 registered in the management server 200 can be accessed by a manager or user through a network using various wired / wireless terminals.

Hereinafter, the lock state recognition module 100 of the present invention will be described in detail.

The lock state recognition module 100 includes a lock detection sensor unit 110 that detects a change in open and locked states in real time in accordance with the rotation of the lock ring 12 of the lock device 10 provided in the passive type storage case 1, A sensing controller 120 for analyzing the sensing signal of the analog state sensed by the sensing controller 120 and converting the sensed signal into state data in the form of a digital signal and a wireless communication unit 130 for transmitting the state data of the sensing controller 120 to the management server 200 And a power supply unit 140 for supplying power for driving the sensing control unit 120.

At this time, the wireless communication unit 130 transmits the status data to the management server 200 through a wireless AP (Access Point) 210.

The lock detection sensor unit 110 includes a magnet 112 attached to the lock ring 12 of the lock device 10 installed in the passive storage case 1 and a lock ring 12 fixed to the lock ring 12 according to the rotation of the lock ring 12. [ And a lock detection sensor 114 for changing the state according to the influence of the magnetic field range M due to the magnetic force of the magnet 112 attached to the magnet 12 and outputting a detection signal upon changing the state.

Here, the magnet 112 may be a neodymium magnet having a strong magnetic force, and may be fixed to one end of the lock ring 12, and the lock detection sensor 114 may include a magnetic field range M A change in the amount of consumed power is detected. In this case, when the magnet 112 comes close to the magnetic detection range M to the lock detection sensor 114 by the rotation of the lock ring 12, the power amount is maintained at the normal value and is recognized as the open state of the lock lock 10 , When the magnet 112 is moved away from the lock detection sensor 114 and out of the magnetic field range M, the amount of power is reduced and the locking device 10 is recognized as being locked.

Of course, if the lock detection sensor 114 is positioned within the magnetic field range M of the magnet as needed, a conventional magnet detection sensor may be used to detect the contact point when the contact point is deviated from the magnetic field range M of the magnet . In this case, when the magnet 112 approaches the lock detection sensor 114 within the magnetic field range M by the rotation of the lock ring 12, the lock detection device recognizes the open state of the lock device 10, It is recognized that the locking device 10 is locked when it is moved away from the sensor 114 and out of the magnetic field range M.

The lock state recognition module 100 uses the battery power supplied from the power supply unit 140 and controls the related sensing control unit 120 and the wireless communication unit 130 Into a sleep mode for turning off the sleep mode and a wakeup mode for turning the sleep mode on.

The detection control unit 120 may include a lock detection sensor signal reception monitoring unit 122 receiving a detection signal of the lock detection sensor 114 and a detection signal receiving unit A state checking unit 124 for comparing the power consumption of the sensing signal to determine whether the locking device 10 is opened or locked to generate status data, And a timer 126 that is driven when the detection signal is received and counts a set time value for switching the state checking unit 124 to the sleep mode.

At this time, the state checking unit 124 detects the state of the bolts (V) consumed by the lock detection sensor 114 and determines whether the locking device 10 is locked or unlocked according to the value of the bolt (V) And transmits the status data to the wireless communication unit 130. [

In order to minimize power consumption of the battery, which is the power supply unit 140, the lock status recognition module 100 controls the power supply to be divided into a portion that uses a constant power source and a portion that uses an emergency power source.

The lock detection sensor 114 changes the open or locked state according to the influence of the magnetic field range of the neodymium magnet, and a detection signal is generated when the state change occurs.

In this case, the sensing control unit 120 may be a module requiring a constant power supply to detect a sensing signal input from the locking sensor 114, for example, a locking sensor signal receiving and monitoring unit 122 may be operated as a constant power source The state checking unit 124 and the wireless communication unit 130, which are required to supply power in an emergency, operate as an emergency power source in a sleep mode. When the detection signal is received from the lock detection sensor 114, the detection control unit 120 turns on the power supply in an emergency to wake up and supply power.

The timer 126 for switching to the sleep mode is operated again by the state confirmation unit 124 and the wireless communication unit 130 that are supplied with the emergency power and are woken up, If no detection signal is input, switch to sleep mode and turn off the power.

Hereinafter, a signal processing process of the passive-type storage device using the lock state recognition module according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The user of the locker can change the state of the lock ring 12 of the lock device 10 by using the key (S100)

If the direction of the lock ring 12 of the locking device 10 is changed through the step S100, the state is switched to the locked state or the open state (S102)

In this case, the magnetic field range M region of the magnet 112 that affects the lock detection sensor 114 moves according to the change of the direction of the lock device 10, and a change in the amount of power flowing inside the lock detection sensor 114 Occurs. That is, when the lock detection sensor 114 is out of the magnetic field range M of the magnet 112 (S104), the amount of power flowing inside the lock detection sensor 114 decreases (S106), and the lock detection sensor 114 The amount of electric power flowing in the lock detection sensor 114 is maintained at a normal value when it is located within the magnetic field range M of the magnet 112 at step S108.

The sensing signal is input to the sensing control unit 120 and the sensing control unit 120 continuously monitors the power consumption of the locking sensing sensor 114. In operation S112,

In step S114, it is determined whether the current power consumption has been changed by comparing the last state of the power consumption with the current state.

If it is determined in step S114 that the monitored current power consumption has changed, the current power consumption amount is compared (S116)

If the power consumption is lower than the normal value (for example, 3 V) through the step S116, the state data '1' in the form of a digital signal indicating the locked state is generated (S118) (S120). For example, when the standard power amount of the lock detection sensor is 3V, if the power consumption is normal (e.g., 3V), the status data '0' A power of 3V is detected. If the power is not normal, a power close to 0V is detected, so that a lock state can be determined.

The state data generated by performing the step S118 or S120 is stored as the last state data value (S122)

After the step S122, the state data is wirelessly transmitted through the wireless communication unit 130 and transmitted to the management server 200 through a wireless AP (Access Point) 210. [

Next, a process for minimizing power consumption of the lock state recognition module according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Particularly, the processing according to the switching of the sleep mode and the wakeup mode of the lock state recognition module 100 according to the change of the state of the lock detection sensor 114 will be described.

When the state of the lock ring 12 of the lock device 10 is changed, a detection signal is generated in accordance with the state change at the lock detection sensor 114. (S200)

Accordingly, the detection signal is input through the lock detection sensor signal reception monitoring unit 122 of the detection control unit 120. The detection control unit 120 includes a status check unit 124, It is determined whether the wireless communication unit 130 is in a sleep mode (S202)

If the state checking unit 124, the wireless communication unit 130, or the like is in the sleep mode, the wakeup signal for switching to the wakeup mode is transmitted to the state checking unit 124 through step S202. , The wireless communication unit 130, etc. (S204)

After the execution of step S204, if there is no operation for a predetermined period of time, the timer 126 for re-entering the sleep mode is activated (S206)

After the execution of step S206, state data corresponding to the detection signal of the lock loop 12 is generated and processed by wireless transmission (S208)

If the related configuration of the status checking unit 124 and the wireless communication unit 130 is in a wake up mode (WakeUp Mode) other than the sleep mode through the step S202, 126 to initialize the time value of the timer 126 to the initialized state value (S210), and then generates state data according to the detection signal of the lock ring 12 and wirelessly transmits the state data (S208)

Then, the state data is generated through the above-described step S208 and wirelessly transmitted, and then the timer 126 in which the operation is started is continuously counted down according to the set clock speed. S212)

If it is determined in step S214 that the preset time value is exceeded, the state checking unit 124, the wireless communication unit 130 (S216). At the same time, the timer 126 also controls the operation of the state checking unit 124, the wireless communication unit 130, and the like, And the power consumption of the built-in battery included in the power supply unit 140 is minimized, thereby maximizing the total usable time of the system.

In this case, the configuration of the state checking unit 124, the wireless communication unit 130, and the like after the switch to the sleep mode is a state in which the power is off, The lock detection sensor signal reception monitoring unit 122 is operated as a constant power source.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
