[0042] By setting an infrared sensor 61 on the RFID antenna 5, when an object blocks and triggers the infrared information, the switch of the RFID antenna 5 is started to monitor the drone data information, so that the RFID antenna will not be in the open state all the time, avoiding the problem of frequent antenna failure caused by long-term uninterrupted operation, and avoiding interference factors such as cross-reading and misreading.

[0043] The present invention also discloses a method for using the tracking, positioning and identifying device, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Device installation: Install multiple displays 4 in front of the corresponding placement layer 2 through the inner support assembly 6. When installing the display 4, align the display 4 with the installation slot 61. At this time, the two pressure rods 66 and the outlet slots of the installation slot 61 are in a misaligned state at the aligned position, and press the display 4 into the inside of the installation slot 61. During the pressing process, the two pressure rods 66 rotate to a horizontal position and pass over the installation slot 61 into the inside of the main frame 1. Under the action of the two torsion springs 67, the pressure rods 66 are reset and contact with the inner wall of the main frame 1, thereby completing the installation of the display 4. In addition, when disassembling the display 4, push the two dial blocks 69 to align the two pressure rods 66 with the outlet slot position of the installation slot 61. At this time, the display 4 can be taken out directly, and multiple RF The ID antenna 5 is installed to the rear of multiple placement layers 2 through the installation assembly 7. When installing the RFID antenna 5, the two T-shaped guide rods 75 on the RFID antenna 5 are aligned with the mounting block 74 and inserted into the L-shaped plate 71. At the same time, the wires on the RFID antenna 5 are passed through the L-shaped plate 71. During the insertion process, the RFID antenna 5 contacts the limit spring 77 and pushes the limit spring 77 to move. After the T-shaped guide rod 75 passes over the mounting block 74 and enters the rear of the L-shaped plate 71, the RFID antenna 5 is then rotated ninety degrees so that the T-shaped guide rod 75 is misaligned with the mounting block 74. At this time, the RFID antenna 5 is pressed by the reaction force of the wire clip 78, thereby completing the installation of the RFID antenna 5. Finally, the wires on the RFID antenna 5 are pressed into 79.

[0045] Step 2: Create a file: Select an electronic tag 82 for each drone set 3, and assign a code to the electronic tag 82 to create a displacement identity ID and electronic file, where the electronic tag 82 contains the location information, code, name and location status of the drone.

[0046] Step 3: Positioning and identification: When the drone set 3 is placed on the placement layer 2, the drone set 3 blocks the infrared rays of the infrared sensor 51. At this time, the RFID antenna 5 is started, and the RFID antenna 5 works and reads the information of the electronic tag 82 in the drone set 3 and displays it on the display 4.
