즉, 콜드 체인 시스템에서 물류의 내부 또는 물류가 담긴 박스의 내부는 물품 또는 물류의 종류에 따라 영하의 온도로 유지된다.That is, in the cold chain system, the inside of the logistics or the inside of the box containing the logistics is maintained at a temperature below zero depending on the type of product or logistics.
이에 따라, 센서를 포함하는 데이터 로거 장치가 저온으로 유지되는 물류의 내부 또는 물류가 담긴 박스의 내부에 배치되면, 센서를 구동하기 위하여 데이터 로거 장치에 포함된 배터리 역시 저온의 환경에 노출되기 때문에 저온의 환경에 노출된 배터리는 배터리로서의 성능이 저하되거나 정상적으로 작동되지 못하는 문제가 있다.Accordingly, when the data logger device including the sensor is placed inside the logistics or the inside of the box containing the logistics maintained at a low temperature, the battery included in the data logger device to drive the sensor is also exposed to a low temperature environment. A battery exposed to the environment has a problem in that its performance as a battery is deteriorated or it does not operate normally.
이로 인해, 콜드 체인 시스템에 적용되는 데이터 로거 장치는 배터리의 정상적인 작동을 위하여 물류 또는 물류가 담긴 박스의 외면에 부착될수 밖에 없기 때문에, 데이터 로거 장치에 포함된 센서는 물류 또는 물류가 담긴 박스의 내부 상태를 감지하는 것이 아니라 물류 또는 물류가 담긴 박스의 외부 상태를 감지할 수밖에 없는 한계가 있다.Because of this, since the data logger device applied to the cold chain system has no choice but to be attached to the outer surface of the box containing the logistics or logistics for the normal operation of the battery, the sensor included in the data logger device There is a limit to detecting the external state of the box containing the logistics rather than detecting the state.
이에 따라, 데이터 로거 장치가 콜드 체인 시스템에 적용되는 경우, 종래의 데이터 로거 장치는 운송 과정에서의 정확한 정보를 측정하지 못하는 문제가 있다.Accordingly, when the data logger device is applied to a cold chain system, there is a problem in that the conventional data logger device cannot measure accurate information during transportation.
더불어, 종래의 데이터 로거 장치는 운송 과정에서의 정보가 저장되더라도 관리자 또는 소비자가 운송과정의 이상상태 발생유무를 확인하기 위해서는 데이터 로거 장치에 저장된 정보를 별도의 단말기를 통해 확인해야 하는 번거로움이 있었다.In addition, even if information in the transportation process is stored in the conventional data logger device, it is inconvenient for the manager or consumer to check the information stored in the data logger device through a separate terminal in order to check whether there is an abnormality in the transportation process. .

이를 위해, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100)는 도 1 내지 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 온도센서(120), 온도라벨(130), 회로부(140), 전원공급부(150) 및 커버부재(160)를 포함할 수 있다.To this end, the data logger device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a temperature sensor 120, a temperature label 130, a circuit unit 140, and a power supply unit 150 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 And it may include a cover member (160).
상기 온도센서(120)는 상기 물류의 내부 보관온도를 감지할 수 있도록 상기 물류의 내부에 배치될 수 있으며, 주기적으로 상기 물류의 내부 보관온도를 측정할 수 있다.The temperature sensor 120 may be disposed inside the product to detect the internal storage temperature of the product, and may periodically measure the internal storage temperature of the product.
즉, 상기 온도센서(120)는 물류의 운송 또는 보관과정에서 물류의 내부온도에 대한 정보를 주기적으로 획득할 수 있다.That is, the temperature sensor 120 may periodically obtain information on the internal temperature of the goods during transportation or storage of the goods.
이를 통해, 상기 온도센서(120)는 물류의 운송 또는 보관과정에서 상기 물류의 내부온도가 적정 보관 온도범위를 벗어난 이상 상태가 발생하였는지에 대한 정보를 획득할 수 있다.Through this, the temperature sensor 120 may obtain information on whether an abnormal state in which the internal temperature of the goods deviates from the proper storage temperature range has occurred during transportation or storage of the goods.
이를 위해, 상기 온도센서(120)는 연성회로기판(210,110)의 일면에 실장될 수 있으며, 상기 회로부(140)를 통해 동작이 제어될 수 있다.To this end, the temperature sensor 120 may be mounted on one side of the flexible printed circuit board 210 or 110, and its operation may be controlled through the circuit unit 140.
이때, 상기 연성회로기판(210,110)은 소정의 면적을 갖는 판상의 제1부분(111)과 상기 제1부분(111)으로부터 일정길이 연장되는 제2부분(112)을 포함할 수 있다.In this case, the flexible circuit boards 210 and 110 may include a plate-shaped first portion 111 having a predetermined area and a second portion 112 extending a predetermined length from the first portion 111 .
또한, 상기 온도센서(120)는 상기 제2부분(112)의 단부측에 위치하도록 상기 연성회로기판(210,110)의 일면에 실장될 수 있으며, 상기 회로부(140) 및 전원공급부(150)는 상기 제1부분(111)에 위치하도록 구비될 수 있다.In addition, the temperature sensor 120 may be mounted on one surface of the flexible printed circuit board 210 or 110 so as to be located at an end side of the second part 112, and the circuit unit 140 and the power supply unit 150 may be It may be provided to be located in the first portion 111.
이에 따라, 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)에서 상기 제1부분(111)으로부터 소정의 길이로 연장되는 제2부분(112)이 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입되면, 상기 온도센서(120)는 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입될 수 있다.Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, in the data logger apparatus 100 or 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the second part 112 extending a predetermined length from the first part 111 is the inside of the logistics When inserted into, the temperature sensor 120 may be inserted into the inside of the product.
이를 통해, 상기 회로부(140) 및 전원공급부(150)가 실장된 제1부분(111)이 상기 물류의 외부에 배치되더라도, 상기 제2부분(112)의 단부측에 구비된 온도센서(120)는 상기 물류의 내부에 배치될 수 있다.Through this, even if the first part 111 in which the circuit part 140 and the power supply part 150 are mounted is disposed outside the distribution, the temperature sensor 120 provided at the end side of the second part 112 Can be placed inside the logistics.
즉, 상기 제2부분(112)은 전체길이 중 적어도 일부의 길이가 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입되는 부분일 수 있고, 상기 제1부분(111)은 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입되지 않고 상기 물류의 외부에 위치하도록 배치되는 부분일 수 있다.That is, the second part 112 may be a part in which at least a part of the total length is inserted into the logistics, and the first part 111 is not inserted into the logistics but is outside the logistics. It may be a part arranged to be located at.
이로 인해, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)는 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입된 온도센서(120)를 통해 상기 물류의 내부온도를 정확하게 감지할 수 있다.Due to this, the data logger device 100 or 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can accurately detect the internal temperature of the product through the temperature sensor 120 inserted into the product.
더불어, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)가 상기 물류의 내부가 저온으로 유지되는 콜드 체인 시스템에 적용되더라도, 상기 온도센서(120)를 제외한 나머지 부분이 상기 물류의 외면에 부착 또는 고정될 수 있기 때문에, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)에서 구동전원을 제공하는 전원공급부(150)는 저온으로 유지되는 물류의 내부가 아닌 물류의 외부에 배치될 수 있다. In addition, even if the data logger devices 100 and 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention are applied to a cold chain system in which the inside of the logistics is maintained at a low temperature, the remaining parts except for the temperature sensor 120 are attached to the outer surface of the logistics Alternatively, since it can be fixed, the power supply unit 150 that provides driving power in the data logger devices 100 and 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be placed outside the logistics, not inside the logistics maintained at a low temperature. .
이를 통해, 상기 전원공급부(150)는 저온으로 유지되는 상기 물류의 내부가 아니라 상온에 노출되도록 배치될 수 있음으로써 저온에서 발생할 수 있는 배터리로서의 성능저하가 원천적으로 방지될 수 있다.Through this, the power supply unit 150 can be disposed so as to be exposed to room temperature rather than inside the logistics maintained at a low temperature, thereby fundamentally preventing performance deterioration as a battery that may occur at low temperatures.
이에 따라, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)가 콜드 체인 시스템에 적용되더라도 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 데이터 로거 장치(100,200)는 물류의 내부 상태를 정확하게 측정하면서도 상기 전원공급부(150)의 성능저하를 미연에 방지할 수 있음으로써 상기 물류의 내부온도와 상관없이 안정적으로 작동될 수 있다.Accordingly, even if the data logger device 100 or 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a cold chain system, the data logger device 100 or 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention accurately measures the internal state of the logistics while the power supply unit By preventing performance degradation of 150 in advance, it can be stably operated regardless of the internal temperature of the product.
상기 온도라벨(130)은 상기 온도센서(120)와 함께 상기 물류의 내부로 삽입될 수 있으며, 상기 물류의 내부온도에 감응하여 비가역적으로 색상이 변경될 수 있다.The temperature label 130 may be inserted into the product together with the temperature sensor 120, and the color may be irreversibly changed in response to the internal temperature of the product.
즉, 상기 온도라벨(130)은 상기 온도센서(120)와 마찬가지로 상기 제2부분(112)에 위치하도록 구비될 수 있으며, 상기 온도센서(120)와 근접한 위치에 위치하도록 배치될 수 있다.That is, the temperature label 130 may be positioned on the second part 112 like the temperature sensor 120, and may be positioned close to the temperature sensor 120.
또한, 상기 온도라벨(130)은 소정의 온도에서 색상이 비가역적으로 변경될 수 있다. 일례로, 상기 온도라벨(130)은 온도변화에 따라 색상이 한 번 변경되면 원래의 색상으로 되돌아가지 않는 비가역적 시온라벨일 수 있으며, 상기 온도라벨(130)은 상기 물류의 내부온도가 적정 보관온도범위를 벗어난 경우 비가역적으로 변경되도록 설정될 수 있다.In addition, the color of the temperature label 130 may be irreversibly changed at a predetermined temperature. For example, the temperature label 130 may be an irreversible Zion label that does not return to its original color once the color is changed due to temperature change, and the temperature label 130 is stored at an appropriate internal temperature of the product. It can be set to change irreversibly when out of temperature range.
