[0026] Example 1

[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a shell structure for an identification tag, such as... Figures 1-3 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer shell structure of the identification tag includes:

[0028] The housing 100 has a chip slot 101 for accommodating chips, and an adhesive area 102 is provided on the end face of the housing 100 away from the chip slot 101. The chip slot 101 can be used to load a chip 200 for recording information, and adhesive chip labels can be directly applied to the adhesive area 102.

[0029] The housing 100 is made of polycarbonate, offering excellent transparency and impact resistance. It operates within a temperature range of -40℃ to 120℃, making it suitable for various harsh environments. The housing is 2.0 mm thick and features a scratch-resistant surface treatment to extend its lifespan. The edges of the housing 100 are chamfered with a 0.5 mm radius to prevent damage to paper labels from sharp corners. The overall dimensions of the housing 100 are 60 mm long, 30 mm wide, and 4.5 mm high, with a weight of less than 5 grams, making it easy to carry and use. Its compact design and precise fit between components ensure stable performance even during frequent use.

[0030] The first slot 111 and the first insert 121 are provided on the housing 100. One end of the first insert 121 is connected to the housing 100. When any two sets of housings 100 are connected in series, the first insert 121 located on one set of housings 100 is inserted into the first slot 111 located on the other set of housings 100 and engages in the first slot 111.

[0031] Specifically, the first slot 111 includes a strip groove 1111 and a first circular groove 1112 located at the end of the strip groove 1111, and the strip groove 1111 and the first circular groove 1112 are interconnected; the first insert 121 includes a rectangular plate and a circular structural block located at the end of the rectangular plate, the diameter of the circular structural block being much larger than the diameter of the first circular groove 1112, the diameter of the block being at least twice the diameter of the first circular groove 1112, and the block cannot be directly detached from the first slot 111, so that several sets of housings 100 form a linear structure, the width of the rectangular plate being less than or equal to the diameter of the first circular groove 1112, which allows the identification tags to be batch-operated during subsequent chip engraving; the several sets of housings 100 in the linear structure are sent into the engraving device 300 for engraving, and a traction force is applied to one end of the several sets of housings 100 in the linear structure so that they reach the engraving area of ​​the engraving device 300 one by one to complete the writing or modification of information.

[0032] The housing 100 itself can be disassembled and used independently. The encapsulated housing 100 can be disassembled and separated for product identification. After identification, it can be reconnected in series and the information can be entered again through the recording device 300. The chip can be reused along with the housing 100. The housing 100 and the product can be fixed by using cable ties or other rope structures through the rope holes provided on the housing 100, or by using double-sided adhesive.

[0033] When several sets of shells 100 are connected in series and wound, the connection between two adjacent sets of shells 100 deflects. Specifically, the insert undergoes flexible deformation, allowing the adjacent sets of shells 100 to deflect and complete the winding action. By using the winding method, several sets of linear structures can be stored and placed in different forms of shells 100, reducing the space occupied.

[0034] The chip mounting compartment 101 measures 15 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 1.5 mm in depth, matching the dimensions of a standard UHF RFID chip. Four miniature positioning posts, each 0.5 mm high and 0.8 mm in diameter, are located at the four corners of the chip mounting compartment 101 for precise chip positioning. A 0.5 mm thick elastic pad made of silicone with a Shore A hardness of 50 is located at the center of the bottom of the chip mounting compartment 101, capable of absorbing external impacts and protecting the chip from damage.

[0035] The chip mounting compartment 101 also includes an electromagnetic interference shielding layer made of aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.05 mm, which covers the chip mounting compartment 101 to form a Faraday cage structure, effectively shielding external electromagnetic interference and improving the stability and accuracy of chip reading. A safe distance of more than 2 mm is maintained between the electromagnetic interference shielding layer and the chip antenna to avoid affecting antenna performance.

[0036] The chip mounting compartment 101 has a transparent window on its surface, which is 10 mm long and 5 mm wide. It is located directly above the chip mounting compartment 101 to facilitate observation of the chip status. One side of the transparent window is not covered by aluminum foil material to facilitate signal transmission during the recording process.

[0037] Example 2
