Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and transportation, in particular to an RFID card fixing structure of a folding basket. Background Art

[0002] At present, various industries (such as automobile parts manufacturing, electronics, food, etc.) have begun to use foldable turnover boxes (folding baskets) of various sizes and specifications in the production, storage and transportation of parts. The advantage is that they save freight. Since the folding basket can be folded down on all four sides when empty, it can reduce the storage volume and save a lot of space.

[0003] With the development of Internet of Things technology, especially the widespread application of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, higher intelligent requirements have been put forward for folding baskets. RFID technology can realize long-distance and high-speed data reading and writing without direct contact, which greatly facilitates the tracking and management of items. However, in the existing technology, the fixing and protection of RFID tags has become a major challenge.

[0004] The Chinese patent CN211108540U discloses a folding basket, comprising a bottom plate, a pair of first opposite side plates and an adjacent pair of second opposite side plates, wherein the first side plate and the second side plate can be folded relative to the bottom plate, and the first side plate and the second side plate are respectively connected to the bottom plate by a plurality of snap connectors, wherein the snap connectors comprise snap protrusions provided on the first side plate and the second side plate and snap grooves provided on the bottom plate, wherein the snap protrusions cooperate with the snap grooves to rotatably connect the first side plate and the second side plate to the bottom plate. The bottom plate is provided with a groove for placing an RFID tag and a cover plate for fixing to the groove to close the groove.

[0005] Although this design preliminarily solves the problem of fixing RFID tags, the following problems still exist in practical applications:

[0006] Complicated operation: The installation and removal of RFID tags need to be completed by opening and closing the cover, which is a relatively cumbersome process.

[0007] Increased maintenance costs: Frequent opening and closing of the cover may accelerate its wear and tear, increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an RFID card fixing structure for a folding basket to solve the problems of complicated operation and increased maintenance cost of the existing RFID tag fixing structure for the folding basket.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present embodiment provides an RFID card fixing structure of a folding basket, comprising a basket body, wherein the basket body comprises a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates respectively hinged to the bottom plate, wherein the side plates can be flipped relative to the bottom plate, and a slot member is provided on the side plate, wherein the slot member comprises a supporting portion and a limiting portion, wherein a slot for inserting an RFID card is formed between the supporting portion and the limiting portion, wherein the supporting portion is located at the bottom to support the RFID card, and the limiting portion is located above the supporting portion, and is used to limit the RFID card in the left, right and front directions.

[0010] Furthermore, the position on the side plate corresponding to the inner side of the slot is recessed inwards, and an inclined surface is formed at the upper insertion position of the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting portion includes a left limiting wall and a right limiting wall which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The left limiting wall extends from top to bottom and is located on the left side of the limiting portion. The right limiting wall extends from top to bottom and is located on the right side of the limiting portion. The front ends of the left limiting wall and the right limiting wall are provided with a front limiting wall extending toward the center direction of the slot component.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the front limiting wall and the upper end of the supporting portion are integrally formed.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper edge of the front limiting wall is rounded.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting portion also includes a front limiting plate located at the upper end of the supporting portion, and the front limiting plate is spaced apart from a position on the side plate corresponding to the inner side of the slot, and the front limiting plate is used to limit the RFID card in the front direction thereof.

[0015] Furthermore, the side plate is provided with convex points arranged in an array at positions corresponding to the inner side of the slot, and the convex points are used to contact the back side of the RFID card.

[0016] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided on the side plate at a position corresponding to the inner side of the slot.

[0017] Furthermore, a smooth surface for printing is provided on the side panel, and the smooth surface is located above the slot member.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom plate is rectangular, the side plates include long side plates and short side plates corresponding to the side lengths of the bottom plate, the slot components are provided on the outer walls of the long side plates, or the slot components are provided on the outer walls of the short side plates.

[0019] Different from the prior art, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When the RFID card needs to be fixed, the operator only needs to insert the card along the direction of the slot. The card will first contact and be placed on the supporting part, and then be limited by the left, right and front baffles of the limiting part, thereby ensuring that the card is firmly fixed in the slot. Even during the flipping or transportation of the basket, the RFID card will not fall off easily due to the action of the limiting part, ensuring the accuracy of information reading. This method does not require additional covers or fixing devices, greatly simplifies the installation and removal process of the card, and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. In addition, this method reduces the wear of mechanical parts and reduces the maintenance frequency and cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides an RFID card fixing structure of a foldable basket, including a basket body 1, the basket body 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a plurality of side plates 12 respectively hinged to the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12 can be flipped relative to the bottom plate 11, a slot member 2 is provided on the side plate 12, the slot member 2 includes a supporting portion 21 and a limiting portion 22, a slot for inserting an RFID card is formed between the supporting portion 21 and the limiting portion 22, the supporting portion 21 is located at the bottom to support the RFID card, the limiting portion 22 is located above the supporting portion 21, and is used to limit the RFID card in the left, right and front directions.

[0046] The bottom plate 11 is divided into a fixed and supporting part 21, and the four side plates 12 can be connected to the bottom plate 11 by hinges, so that the side plates 12 can be flipped relative to the bottom plate 11, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding functions of the entire housing 1. At least one side plate 12 is provided with a slot member 2. The supporting part 21 is designed as a platform-like structure, located at the bottom of the slot, for directly supporting the RFID card; the limiting part 22 is located above the supporting part 21, and its purpose is to limit the RFID card in the left, right and front directions to prevent the card from shifting or falling off due to vibration during transportation or use.

[0047] When the RFID card needs to be fixed, the operator only needs to insert the card along the direction of the slot. The card will first contact and be placed on the supporting part 21, and then be limited by the left and right and front baffles of the limiting part 22, thereby ensuring that the card is firmly fixed in the slot. Even when the basket 1 is turned over or transported, the RFID card will not fall off easily due to the action of the limiting part 22, thereby ensuring the accuracy of information reading. This method does not require additional covers or fixing devices, greatly simplifies the installation and removal process of the card, and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. In addition, this method reduces the wear of mechanical parts and reduces the maintenance frequency and cost.

[0048] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the position on the side panel 12 corresponding to the inner side of the slot is recessed inward, and a slope 23 is formed at the upper insertion position of the slot. The position on the side panel 12 corresponding to the inner side of the slot is closer to the inner side than the position on the side panel 12 located on the outer side of the slot, and is not an outward protruding structure, so that the limit portion 22 set thereon can be flush with the side panel 12, and the overall appearance is more beautiful. When the RFID card is inserted into the slot, the slope 23 plays a role in guiding the card to enter the slot smoothly, avoiding the deflection or jamming of the card during the insertion process.

[0049] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the limiting portion 22 includes a left limiting wall 221 and a right limiting wall 222 which are symmetrically arranged. The left limiting wall 221 extends from top to bottom and is located on the left side of the limiting portion 22. The right limiting wall 222 extends from top to bottom and is located on the right side of the limiting portion 22. The front ends of the left limiting wall 221 and the right limiting wall 222 are provided with a front limiting wall 223 extending toward the center direction of the slot member 2 (the center direction is between the left limiting wall 221 and the right limiting wall 222). The left limiting wall 221 and the right limiting wall 222 can provide vertical limiting from the left and right sides of the card to prevent the card from being displaced when subjected to lateral force. At the same time, the front limiting wall 223 can further limit the activity space of the card in the front direction, ensuring that the card is firmly fixed in multiple directions.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that since the position of the side panel corresponding to the slot is recessed inward, the position outside the side panel corresponding to the slot is a position protruding from the recessed position, and a left limiting wall 221 and a right limiting wall 222 can be formed at the connection between the recessed and non-recessed side panel. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the side plate is relatively flat (excluding some holes thereon), and the left limiting wall 221 and the right limiting wall 222 are side walls of the limiting blocks protruding from the side plate.

[0051] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lower end of the front limiting wall 223 is integrally formed with the upper end of the supporting portion 21. The front limiting wall 223 is not a separate additional component, but forms an inseparable whole with the supporting portion 21 during the manufacturing process. This design not only simplifies the structure, but also enhances the overall structural stability and durability. Generally speaking, when manufacturing the side panel 12, the left limiting wall 221, the right limiting wall 222, the front limiting wall 223, and the supporting portion 21 are formed together through an injection molding process.

[0052] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the upper edge of the front limiting wall 223 is rounded to reduce the friction and wear of the RFID card during the installation process, while improving the operator's experience and reducing the risk of injury to the operator.

[0053] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the limiting portion 22 also includes a front limiting plate 224 located at the upper end of the supporting portion 21. The front limiting plate 224 is spaced apart from the inner side of the corresponding slot on the side plate 12 for limiting the RFID card in the front direction. Figure 4 It is shown that there are two front limit plates 224 and they are evenly arranged along the length direction of the supporting portion 21. Preferably, the upper edge of the front limit plate 224 is also rounded to reduce friction and wear of the RFID card during installation.

[0054] Although the left and right ends of the RFID card are limited by the left limiting wall 221 and the right limiting wall 222, the RFID card has a certain length. Under the action of a large external force, the side plate 12 may undergo a large deformation, and an RFID card with a larger span may fall out. The addition of the front limiting plate 224 provides additional limitation for the front direction of the RFID card in the slot 2, and works together with the left and right limiting walls to ensure that the card is stably fixed in the left, right and front directions.

[0055] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the side plate 12 is provided with an array of convex points 3 at the position corresponding to the inner side of the slot, and the convex points 3 are used to contact the back of the RFID card. The arrangement of the convex points 3 prevents the back of the RFID card from completely fitting with the side plate 12, so that even in a humid or rainy environment, moisture is not easy to accumulate between the card and the side plate 12, reducing the risk of moisture penetrating into the interior of the card and protecting the RFID chip from moisture erosion.

[0056] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a positioning hole 4 is provided on the side panel 12 at a position corresponding to the inner side of the slot, and can be used with some fastening components (such as fixing nails) to fix the RFID card.

[0057] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a smooth surface 5 for printing is provided on the side panel 12 , and the smooth surface 5 is located above the slot member 2 . Figure 2 As shown, the number "24092" is printed on the smooth plane 5. The smooth plane 5 generally has a low friction coefficient and good light reflection characteristics, and can provide an ideal substrate for printing, writing, labeling, etc., so as to facilitate printing relevant information on the folding basket, such as product identification, batch number, RFID card location, etc., to enhance the traceability and management efficiency of the folding basket.

[0058] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the folding basket is a rectangular basket, the bottom plate 11 is rectangular, and the side plate 12 includes a long side plate 122 and a short side plate 121 corresponding to the side length of the bottom plate 11. A slot member 2 is provided on the outer wall of the long side plate 122, or a slot member 2 is provided on the outer wall of the short side plate 121, or both, which provides a variety of layout options for fixing the RFID card of the folding basket. Different types of folding baskets may have different sizes and usage scenarios. The design of the slot member 2 can be provided on both the long side plate 122 and the short side plate 121, so that the RFID card fixing structure can better adapt to various folding basket models, improving the versatility and adaptability of the overall solution.

[0059] In this embodiment, the two adjacent side panels 12 of the folding basket can be locked or unlocked, and the locking state between the two adjacent side panels 12 can be unlocked by the handle structure. The specific locking and unlocking structures can refer to the patents with application numbers 201921862012.X and 202410190988.6.

[0060] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in this article, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of the utility model. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the utility model, changes and modifications to the embodiments described in this article, or equivalent structural or equivalent process changes made using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields are all included in the scope of protection of the utility model patent.
