[0023] The antenna module 2 fixedly connected to the base structure 1 is a gain PCB antenna. The PCB antenna, also known as a printed circuit board antenna, is an antenna form in which the antenna is directly printed on a PCB. It plays an important role in modern wireless communication devices, especially in mobile devices, Internet of Things devices and wireless sensor networks, and is widely used because of its compactness, lightness and low cost. The working principle of the PCB antenna is based on the electromagnetic field theory. On the PCB board, a specific metal conductor pattern is formed by etching or adding conductive materials (such as copper), and these patterns constitute the radiation and receiving structure of the antenna. When the antenna is connected to a radio transmitting or receiving device, the device generates radio frequency currents, which flow on the antenna conductor and generate changing electric and magnetic fields. These electric and magnetic fields radiate to the surrounding space to form electromagnetic waves, thereby realizing the transmission of wireless signals.

[0024] The interface module 3 fixedly connected to the base structure 1 is an SLD6010 interface board. SLD6010 is a debugging board that is convenient for testing RF modules and assembling the whole machine.

The module has a small size, low power consumption, and strong anti-interference ability.

[0026] A piece of organic glass cover is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the upper cover structure 7, which is both aesthetically pleasing and increases wear resistance, making the reader more robust and having a longer service life.

[0027] When using, the user needs to ensure that the RFID reader is properly placed on the desktop and remains stable. At the same time, connect the RFID reader to a computer or other data processing device through an appropriate interface (such as USB, serial port or network interface). Secondly, check whether the connection is firm and make sure that the required driver or software has been successfully installed. Then configure the reader: Use relevant configuration software or tools to set the parameters of the reader, such as operating frequency, output power, reading range, etc. These settings will affect the communication effect between the reader and the tag. According to the needs of the application scenario, adjust the configuration of the reader to achieve optimal performance.
