Abstract

The present invention relates to a remote monitoring electronic seal, which comprises: an electricity conductive pin, a pin socket that receives the bottom of the pin to irremovably insert, and a wireless tracking device mounted to the pin socket. The aforementioned pin is provided with a remote detection circuit. The top of remote detection circuit is electrically connected to the top of the pin. When the pin is inserted into the pin socket and is not removed, the remote detection circuit and the pin are electrically connected with the wireless tracking device, whereby when the pin is illegally cut off, the wireless tracking device is driven to transmit an abnormal signal to notify the central control room at the remote so that the shortcoming that the conventional electronic seal can only achieve near-distance monitoring is approved.

Description

Electronic seal for remote monitoring

The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic seals, which can achieve the special function of remote monitoring during the carrying process of the container.

The existing electronic seals, as shown in the patents I333018, I322217, I292007, etc., are mainly used to provide "short-range" detection or monitoring of container transportation through the use of RFID chips and readers. .

However, a considerable proportion of the goods transported by the container are stolen in the case of self-stealing or stalking, in other words, the plug of the electronic seal is cut off under the control of the container reader or the monitoring personnel by the gangster. Even if the RFID chip inside the electronic seal sends a signal to the reader, the owner cannot know at all that the container has been opened. In the same way, when the cargo container is in the road or in the sea, the owner of the cargo outside the distance cannot know whether the container is in a normal sealed state.

Therefore, someone installs a wireless tracking device (such as a satellite positioning system or a wireless communication system) directly on the container, but the power switching device of the wireless tracking device is manually switched through the container field if the container has been controlled by the gangster. Under the circumstance, the gangster can manually turn off the wireless tracking device, so that the wireless tracking device loses the effect of remote monitoring.

Therefore, the inventors have intensively explored the problem that the existing wireless tracking device cannot be integrated into the electronic seal, which causes great problems in remote monitoring, and actively seeks solutions. After long-term efforts and research, the company finally succeeded in developing. The present invention has been developed.

The invention provides an electronic seal capable of remote monitoring, which mainly couples a wireless tracking device to a socket, and then installs a remote sensing circuit on the plug, so that the plug is inserted into the socket and cannot be retracted, the remote sensing circuit The system can be electrically connected to the wireless tracking device, and when the plug is arbitrarily cut, the electrical connection can be interrupted, and the wireless tracking device can be driven to send a signal to the central control room outside the distance. Accurately knowing whether the container is abnormal or not, if there is an abnormal situation, it can promptly notify the local police by telephone to carry out subsequent processing. Therefore, the overall configuration of the present invention is sufficient to remove the shortcoming that the conventional electronic seal cannot automatically perform remote monitoring. It is indeed a novel technology for an effective solution to electronic seals.
