FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a seal for a cargo/container; and more particularly, to provide a RFID based tamperproof sealing device.
BACKGROUND
Generally, in a cargo industry, the cargo containers are widely employed to ship goods from one location to other location. The cargo containers are widely used in ocean going ships for shipping goods among different continents. Each ship can carry hundreds of such cargo containers. The containers have doors which are locked shut with hasps. Commonly, the hasps are secured with mechanical locks or seals. Such lock includes a strip seal, a rope wire seal, a drum seal, a hex cable seal, a security seal, a padlock, a deadbolt, a lever handle lock, a handcuff seal, a cam lock, a euro profile cylinder, a interchangeable core (IC) cylinders lock, a vending/t-handle lock, a rim latch lock and a steel bolt.
Over the period of time, burglars/thieves have compromised the security of such cargo doors by compromising the aforementioned locks.The thieves compromise such locks and open the cargo doors and takeout all the valuable items that are stored inside the containers. The cargo containers are shipped via a ship, a train and a truck. The cargo containers are at a higher risk of tampering, theft and vandalism, during the transportation, unloading or loading. For theft and tampering prevention, the existing seals are assigned serial numbers and such seals are then assigned to a container. The serial number, container ID, a shipment carrier, and a destination is entered in the record (i.e. computer or hand written). However, despite of all such efforts, seals are tampered.
Prevention of such tampering is critical to safeguard the valuable goods within the cargo. Currently, available sealing devices generally include two components: a male part which is inserted into a female part to complete a lock. However, such male part, which when inserted into the female part, can move within the female part, and thereby creates an ambiguity whether, previously sealing device was tampered before reaching to a destination.
Thus, there remains a need for further contributions in this area of technology. More specifically, a need exists in the area of technology for sufficiently securing locks for the cargo containers.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

The internal passage 206 of the restraining element is provided with a plurality of bulges 210 on the inner peripheral surface.
The tip segment 106 (not shown) of the elongated inserting element 100 is operable to couple with the body element 200 through the restraining element 202. The engagement of at least one groove 108 in the tip segment 106 with the at least one incision/slits 214 in the recess like structure 206 aligns the at least one groove 108 with the at least one incision/slit 214 to form a first detachable connection between the tip segment 106 of the elongated inserting element 100 and the body element 200. At the same time, the engagement of the corrugated surface 110 in the distal end of the shaft 104 with at least one of the bulges 210 in the internal passage 206 of the restraining element 202 aligns the corrugated surface 110 with the at least one bulge 210 to form a second detachable connection between the elongated inserting element 100 and the body element 200. In an embodiment, the fitting between the grooves 108 and the incision/slits 214 can be a screw fitting, a slide fitting, a magnetic fitting, a snap fitting and a gear fitting. In an embodiment, the fitting between the corrugated surface 110 and the one or more bulges 210 can be a screw fitting, a slide fitting, a magnetic fitting, a snap fitting and a gear fitting. In one embodiment, the second detachable connection resists the rotation motion or any kind of movement in any direction of the inserting element 100 within the body element 200 and helps to overcome the problems associated with the rotation of the inserting element 100.
In an exemplary embodiment, the body element 200 can comprises an electronic module (not shown in the figure). The electronic module comprises a printed circuit board, one or more electric conductive probes, an antenna, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip/tag. In one embodiment, the RFID chip/tag is a passive RFID. The electronic module is operable to provide an identity of the seal. When the elongated inserting element 100 is coupled to the body element 200, the one or more electric conductive probes electrically coupled or connected to the antenna (may be made of aluminium) to activate the electronic module. In an embodiment, the antenna is manufactured from a material is selected from: an aluminium, a copper, an iron, an alloy, a metal and a brass.
In an embodiment, when the electronic module passes or comes within a preset range/proximity of an RFID reader in a remote control center (not shown in the figure), the RFID reader sends electromagnetic energy in the direction of the sealing device which is sensed by the antenna present in the sealing device. This energy is converted into RF waves. The sealing device antenna draws energy from the RF waves and activates the electronic module. Upon activation of the electronic module, an information/signal corresponding to the identification of the sealing device is generated, wherein the information can include RFID related data such as RFID signal. This RFID signal is interpreted by the RFID reader in the remote control center to identify the unique information of the sealing device. Disengagement or withdrawal of the elongated inserting element 100 coupled to the body element 200, breaks the connection between the antenna and the electric conductive probes, which results in deactivation off the electronic module. Hence, the seal no longer transmits the identification data to the remote control center. Thus, the remote control center may realise that the seal has been tampered or removed. The remote control server may scrutinize the removal of the seal by an authorized person. In an event of unauthorized access of the sealing device notice, center may transmit the alerts/notifications. The alert may be in form of a sound, a tone, a SMS, an email etc. The alert may be transmitted to a device associated witha cargo owner, a shipping company, the governmental agencies and/or the other server arrangements.
In an embodiment, a unique identification code can be assigned to the sealing device 300 through the RFID tag. In an another embodiment, the unique identification code can be used as a secrete key, which was pre-shared to the owner of the device and to a third party who intend to receive the cargo. On delivery of the cargo either the owner or the third party may enter/read the unique identification code to open the seal. In case, the sealing device was tampered after getting sealed, the code which is required to open the seal device will not be able to open the sealing device thereby an indication that the sealing device is compromised.
The components of the sealing device can be manufactured by any or a combination of methods which are known state of the art such as an injection molding, an extrusion molding, a blow molding, a compression molding, a rotational molding, a vacuum forming, a die casting, a sand casting, stamping, a forging, a 3D printing, a chemical vapour deposition, a sputter deposition, a sintering, a pressing, a computer numerical controlled (CNC) milling, CNC turning, a drill machine, a lathe machine, milling machine, a rolling, a bending, a trimming, a shaving, a notching, etc.
