Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for connecting recyclable logistics apparatus, the recyclable logistics apparatus comprises a wireless beacon unit which periodically transmits a broadcast frame, and the method comprising the following steps: providing a plurality of contact points inside each recyclable logistics apparatus, making a connection between the contact points of each recyclable logistics apparatus, and implanting wires inside each recyclable logistics apparatus for connecting the wire beacon unit and the contact points; and connecting a plurality of recyclable logistics apparatuses in a predetermined manner, so that when a plurality of recyclable logistics apparatuses are stacked as a stack, a parallel circuit is formed in part region inside the stack of recyclable logistics apparatuses. Through this technical solution, the subsequent work efficiency is doubled, the time is greatly saved and the workload is reduced.

Claims (14)

1. A method for connecting a plurality of recyclable logistic containers, each of the plurality of recyclable logistic containers comprises a wireless beacon unit which periodically transmits a broadcast frame, and a power module that supplies power,

wherein the method comprises the following steps:

providing four contact points on four corners of the each of the plurality of recyclable logistic containers, wherein the four contact points include positive and negative electrodes are set apart from one another, and implanting wires inside each of the plurality of recyclable logistic containers for connecting the wireless beacon unit, and

connecting the plurality of recyclable logistics containers in a predetermined manner, so that when the plurality of recyclable logistics containers are stacked as a stack, a parallel circuit is formed in part region inside the stack of recyclable logistics containers,

wherein each of the plurality of recyclable logistic containers also includes a bridge rectifier loop, where a first pair of diagonally opposite points of the bridge rectifier loop are connected with the two contact points of the four contacts points of the recyclable logistic container having opposite polarities, and a second pair of diagonally opposite contact points of the bridge rectifier loop are connected with the power module and a key, and the bridge rectifier loop is configured to allow flow of current through the respective recyclable logistic container in a direction that is consistent with respect to the power module when the recyclable container is positioned in a first orientation and a second orientation,

wherein the second orientation being different from the first orientation with respect to a position of the contact points, and

wherein when the key is pressed, the wireless beacon unit transmits the broadcast frame to indicate insufficient power.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined manner is spring sheets connection manner.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined manner is external wire connection manner.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined manner is magnetic adsorption connection manner.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless beacon unit is a chip based on one of the following protocols: radio frequency identification (RFID), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiFi, or iBeacon.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the broadcast frame at least includes a unique identity of the wireless beacon unit.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the broadcast frame further includes battery power information.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the broadcast frame further includes identification information.
