[0001] This utility model relates to the field of express logistics technology, specifically to an intelligent item tracking tag. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of express logistics technology, warehouse management often faces the challenge of quickly locating specific items from a large volume of goods. Traditional manual search methods are inefficient and time-consuming, failing to meet the demands of modern logistics for high-efficiency operations. Therefore, intelligent tracking tags have emerged. These tags, using both sound and light indicators, assist personnel in quickly locating items, becoming an important tool for improving warehouse management efficiency.

[0003] However, existing smart item-finding tags suffer from poor light diffusion and narrow illumination range, making it difficult for personnel to quickly identify targets in complex warehouse environments and increasing the difficulty of finding items. Meanwhile, the sound-emitting components of existing tags also suffer from insufficient volume and poor sound propagation, significantly reducing the effectiveness of sound indication in noisy logistics environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing an intelligent item-finding tag. It enhances the visibility of the light source through the cooperation of dual light-amplifying modules and improves the sound propagation effect through a sound-amplifying module, thereby enabling quick locating of the item-finding tag.

[0011] Preferably, the second light-amplifying module is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing corresponding to the position of the light source. The second light-amplifying module is an annular truncated pyramid structure, including a first truncated pyramid area and a second truncated pyramid area.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent tracking tag. The tag includes a housing, within which a light-emitting component and a sound-emitting component are disposed. The light-emitting component includes a light source 4, a first light-amplifying module 101 located above the light source 4, and a second light-amplifying module 201 located to the side of the light source 4. The sound-emitting component includes a sound source 6 and a sound-amplifying module located outside the sound source 6. By setting the first and second light-amplifying modules around the light source, the diffusion range of the light source is effectively increased while ensuring the brightness of the light source color, thus improving the visibility of the light. Simultaneously, by setting the sound-amplifying module on the sound source, the uniformity of the sound propagation direction is improved, enhancing sound recognition. This application, combining the light-amplifying module and the sound-amplifying module, significantly improves the recognition efficiency of the intelligent tracking tag in the complex environment of express delivery stations, enabling rapid guidance for users to locate target packages and greatly shortening pickup time.

[0029] Preferably, the housing includes a first housing 1 and a second housing 2 that are interlocked with each other, and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are respectively provided with a plurality of limiting blocks 103.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, the second housing 2 is connected to the first housing 1 by a snap-fit ​​of a side clip 204 and a side slot 102. This connection method is simple to operate, requires no additional fasteners, and facilitates the replacement of internal components of the label.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a circuit board 3 is fixed on the first housing 1 by the limiting block 103, the light source 4 is located on the upper end of the circuit board 3, and the sound source 6 is located on the circuit board 3 below the light source 4.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the components inside the locator tag, such as the circuit board 3 and the battery 7 located below the circuit board 3, are fixed by the limiting block 103. The limiting block 103 is integrally formed with the shell, and there is no need to use screws or other means to fix it, which is convenient to operate and saves costs.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the first light-amplifying module 101 has a grid structure, including a frame formed by a horizontal plate 1011 and a first housing 1. The frame has a polygonal mesh inside. In the embodiments of this application, the polygonal mesh includes large-sized rhomboid units and small-sized triangular units. The large-sized rhomboid units are the light transmission areas, through which direct light can pass quickly. The refraction at the corners of the rhomboids causes the light to deflect, disrupting its original direction and creating a certain degree of refraction. The small triangular units between the rhomboids are scattering nodes. When light encounters a triangular unit, it undergoes multiple reflections within the narrow space, further scattering the light direction and making the diffusion more uniform. The first light-amplifying module 101 quickly transforms the light source from point emission to uniform surface light by scattering the large surface of the rhomboid units and the detailed surface of the triangular units. This facilitates the diffusion and refraction of light, making the light source's illumination range wider and the light effect more obvious, improving the light source's visibility and making it easier for people to spot.

[0034] Furthermore, the horizontal plate 1011 has a pointed groove 1012 located directly above the light source 4. The pointed groove 1012 on the horizontal plate 1011 precisely guides the light from directly above the light source, avoiding brightness loss in the central area and ensuring the integrity of the light coverage.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the grid lines in the first light-amplifying module can be frosted. When light comes into contact with it, diffuse reflection will occur due to the micro-roughness of the surface, causing the light to disperse in 360°. At the same time, the light transmittance of the hollow area can be adjusted by the degree of frosting to balance the diffusion effect and brightness loss.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the second light-amplifying module 201 is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 2 corresponding to the position of the light source 4. The second light-amplifying module 201 is an annular truncated pyramid structure, including a first truncated pyramid area 2011 and a second truncated pyramid area 2012. The first truncated pyramid area 2011 to the second truncated pyramid area 2012 are annular steps arranged sequentially outward and upward from the central ring.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the structure of the second light-amplifying module 201 is designed based on the Fresnel lens principle, exhibiting a multi-layered contour shape resembling an elliptical ring. From the center outwards, a continuously gradually changing ring-shaped truncated pyramid structure is constructed using concentric circles and curves of the fitting boundary. After light is incident, it is refracted and scattered along the inclined surface of the ring, utilizing the characteristic of a Fresnel lens to simulate the optical effect of a thick lens with a thin structure, guiding the light source and expanding the light range and brightness.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, the first frustum region 2011 is almond-shaped, with a central vertical axis length of R and a central circle diameter of r. Several closed circular steps extend outwards proportionally from the central circle, with the outermost circular step N having a diameter of R. Outside the circular step N are symmetrically spaced, progressively narrowing arc-shaped steps. These circular steps gather high-energy light rays from the light source towards the almond-shaped vertical axis, preventing excessive brightness at the center. The outer arc-shaped steps, through edge refraction, diffuse the gathered light rays upwards, downwards, leftwards, and rightwards at small angles, shaping the basic form of a long, narrow light spot.

[0039] The second frustum region 2012 is an elliptical step extending laterally outside the first frustum region 2011, with the central horizontal axis of the second frustum region 2012 perpendicular to the central vertical axis of the first frustum region 2011. The second frustum region 2012 receives the initial diffused light from the first frustum region 2011. Through its gently curving structure, the light can undergo large-angle refraction, transforming the light from a long strip of light spot to a large elliptical light spot. This converts the point light from the light source into a large, uniform elliptical light spot, expanding the illumination range of the light source and further improving the light indication effect.

[0040] Preferably, the amplification module is disposed on the second housing 2, and includes a sound cavity 202 and a sound outlet 203. The sound cavity 202 covers the sound source 6, and the sound outlet 203 is a plurality of through holes opened on the housing at the sound cavity.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, the sound source 6 is a circular buzzer, and the sound cavity 202 is a hollow cylinder that matches it. The sound cavity 202 covers the sound source 6, and the sound emitted by the sound source 6 is concentrated and focused through the sound cavity wall to improve the uniformity of the sound propagation direction and reduce sound loss. Then, the sound is transmitted out of the shell through the sound outlet 203 to improve the sound recognition.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the circuit board 3 is also provided with a button module 5, and the second housing 2 is provided with a button trigger module 205. The button trigger module 205 is integrally formed with the second housing 2 and includes a cantilever arm and a trigger boss 2053. The cantilever arm includes a fixed end 2051 and a movable arm 2052, and the trigger boss 2053 is fixed on the movable arm 2052.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the button trigger module 205 is integrally formed with the second housing 2 through injection molding, eliminating the need for additional springs and supports, thus reducing product weight and volume. The cantilever is a beam structure with one end fixed and the other end free. When subjected to force, the movable arm 2052 can undergo elastic deformation. The fixed end 2051 is a non-moving part connected to the housing, providing mechanical support and ensuring the stability of the cantilever beam during deformation. The trigger boss 2053 has a cross-shaped protrusion at the top, which can improve the stability of triggering and is used for precise contact with the button module 5 on the circuit board.

[0044] The button trigger structure features an integrated elastic cantilever beam design. The cantilever beam structure, integrally formed with the housing, enables elastic deformation. The trigger element is contacted by a cross-shaped trigger boss. It has the advantages of structural integration, self-resetting, and miniaturization, making it suitable for electronic devices that require waterproofing and lightweight design.

Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
