Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tool storage, in particular to an RFID storage cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, also known as wireless radio frequency identification, is a communication technology, commonly known as electronic tags. It can identify specific targets and read and write related data through radio signals without establishing mechanical or optical contact between the identification system and the specific target.

[0003] Radio signals are transmitted from tags attached to items through electromagnetic fields tuned to radio frequencies, to automatically identify and track the item. Some tags can get energy from the electromagnetic field emitted by the identifier during identification, and do not require batteries; some tags have their own power source and can actively emit radio waves (electromagnetic fields tuned to radio frequencies). Tags contain electronically stored information and can be identified within a few meters. Unlike barcodes, RFID tags do not need to be within the line of sight of the identifier and can be embedded in the object being tracked.

[0004] RFID technology is used in many industries. For example, by attaching a tag to a car in production, the factory can track the progress of the car on the production line. Warehouses can track the location of medicines. RFID tags can also be attached to livestock and pets to facilitate positive identification of livestock and pets (positive identification means preventing multiple livestock from using the same identity). RFID identification cards can allow employees to enter locked parts of buildings, and RFID transponders on cars can also be used to collect toll roads and parking fees.

[0005] In the prior art, most factory tools are placed in tool racks or tool cabinets. When workers need to use tools, it is difficult for them to clearly understand what tools are in the tool cabinets, so it takes a certain amount of time to search, which is extremely inconvenient. In addition, sometimes before workers go to get a tool, the tool may have been taken away, resulting in a wasted trip. Summary of the invention

[0006] According to an embodiment of the utility model, an RFID storage cabinet is provided, comprising:

[0007] The cabinet body is provided with a plurality of support plates, and the two ends of the plurality of support plates are respectively connected to the two sides of the cabinet body;
