Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container management system using a gyro sensor, a shock sensor,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for managing a container using a gyro sensor and an impact sensor, and more particularly, to a system for managing a container by using a gyro sensor, The present invention relates to a container management system using a gyro sensor, a shock sensor, and a camera.

In general, container is used as a large container of a box made of a certain standard so as to carry out efficient and economical transportation of the cargo by ship.

When the ship is tilted at one side during the operation, if the cargo containing the container is collapsed, it will cause center shift of the ship and adversely affect the stability and cause the risk of overturning.

In order to prevent such accidents, shoring and lashing are performed as a method for fixing cargoes on export container ships. After the cargo is loaded into the container, the ship is moved to the top, bottom, left and right due to strong winds and high waves. In this case, the shoring and lashing are performed to prevent the cargo from being damaged.

Shoring is to fix the cargoes such as bulk, vehicle, and other equipment in a way that they can not move in the container, string, and support so that the cargo does not shake in the container. Racing is a technique to prevent the container, cargo, , A chain or the like, to be fixed to the D-Ring at the bottom of the ship.

However, even in such an operation, in a circumstance such as a tilting of the ship, the cargo strap is loosened or broken.

In general, various methods are used to correct the inclination of a container, but a method using a tilt sensor is most widely adopted.

However, since the internal structure of the tilt sensor is in the form of liquid or spring, it is vulnerable to disturbance and vibration, so it is somewhat difficult to precisely control the transportation means in real time.

Korean Patent No. 10-0991389 'Method for operating a communication device for a vehicle having an RFID reader' and No. 10-0511555 'Apparatus and method for recognizing an object position using RFID' The RFID tag is used to recognize the position of the article according to the detection of a specific frequency or transmit the product code detected from the RFID tag to the wireless network.

However, since the above-described conventional technology simply tracks the position or transmits information using the RFID tag, it is not suitable to apply to the safety and management of the distribution system of the container moving long distance.

To solve this problem, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0812769, 'Container Position Tracking and Real-time Management System Using RF', obtains safety information and management information using a sensor attached to a container and a wireless terminal device, It tracks the location of the cargo until it arrives at the destination by communication, real-time monitoring of the container environment for stable cargo transport, and container tracking and real-time management system using RF to perform security and security functions .

However, since the above patent can only monitor the internal ecological environment, it does not know the inside condition of the container, so it can not know the damage degree of the internal cargo and can not open the cargo until the cargo arrives. There was no problem.
