In this embodiment, it should be noted that, among them, the part of the bracket 1 extending out of the housing is used for blocking. Since the antenna radiation has a range, when multiple RFID vertical integrated machines are used, a passage of up to 2 meters can be vacated between any two RFID vertical integrated machines. At this time, the bracket 1 extending out of the housing can effectively limit the passage size, making the arrangement between multiple RFID vertical integrated machines more neat and orderly, and preventing the people passing by from affecting the RFID vertical integrated machine. Therefore, the bracket 1 is made taller to facilitate the use of the RFID vertical integrated machine and reduce the phenomenon of signal interference.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the bracket 1 is made of a transparent material, and several hanging hole positions are provided in the middle and upper part of the bracket 1.
