[0027] The utility model is further illustrated as follows in combination with the drawings and examples:
[0028] Example 1: the RFID reader and writer of the rotatable antenna, referring to Figs. 1 to 4The device includes an RFID reader body 1, a rotating antenna 2 arranged on one side of the rear end of the RFID reader body 1, and a limiting structure 3; the limiting structure 3 is arranged on the other side of the rear end of the RFID reader body 1.
[0029] The limiting structure 3 includes a fixing block 301, a connecting block 303, a U-shaped locking block 304, and an abutting spring 305; the fixing block 301 is fixed to the other side of the rear end of the RFID reader body 1; the inner end of the connecting block 303 is connected to the outer end of the fixing block 301; the two U-shaped locking blocks 304 are respectively arranged on the two side walls of the groove 3031 opened on the top side of the outer end of the connecting block 303; the two abutting springs 305 are respectively arranged on the top of the opposite side of the transverse section of the two U-shaped locking blocks 304; wherein, the outer end of the rotating antenna 2 is limited and cooperated with the two abutting springs 305.
[0030] This utility model, by setting a fixing block 301, a connecting block 303, a groove 3031, a U-shaped locking block 304, and an abutment spring 305, has the advantage that when the rotating antenna 2 is rotated to a horizontal position without using the RFID reader body 1, it can be positioned and the rotating antenna 2 and the RFID reader body 1 are kept level and stable. This solves the problem that the antenna is in an unstable state and the antenna is flung when the reader is moved.
[0031] Specifically, the inner end of the connecting block 303 and the outer end of the fixing block 301 are connected by a hinge 302.
[0032] This utility model, by setting a fixing block 301, a connecting block 303 and a hinge 302, has the advantage that when the rotating antenna 2 is rotated out for use, the connecting block 303 rotates relative to the fixing block 301 and moves towards the outer shell of the RFID reader / writer body 1, thus reducing the space occupied.
[0033] Furthermore, the two longitudinal sections of the U-shaped block 304 are fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting block 303 by screws 306; wherein, the screws 306 are threaded through the threaded holes opened in the longitudinal sections of the U-shaped block 304, and the inner end of the screws 306 is inserted into the opening at the outer end of the connecting block 303.
[0034] This utility model has the advantages of a detachable U-shaped locking block 304, which facilitates the replacement of the abutment spring 305, by setting screw 306.
[0035] Furthermore, the abutment spring 305 has an arc-shaped structure design. The bottom side of the arched end of the abutment spring 305 abuts against the outer end of the rotating antenna 2. The arc-shaped abutment spring 305 bends more smoothly when squeezed, without affecting the outer end of the rotating antenna 2 from being inserted into the groove 3031.
[0036] Working principle: use the device of the utility model, when not using RFID reader and writer body 1, connecting block 303 is aligned relative to fixed block 301, rotate rotary antenna 2, so that the outer end of rotary antenna 2 is clamped into groove 3031, in the process of clamping the outer end of rotary antenna 2, the arc-shaped abutment spring 305 is extruded, until the outer end of rotary antenna 2 is completely entered into groove 3031, the arching end bottom side of abutment spring 305 abuts with the outer end of rotary antenna 2, and the outer end of rotary antenna 2 is limited. When using RFID reader and writer body 1, the outer end of rotary antenna 2 can be directly rotated out of groove 3031. When replacing abutment spring 305, unscrew and remove screw 306, replace new U-shaped clamping block 304 and abutment spring 305, screw 306 is screwed into the threaded hole provided in the longitudinal section of U-shaped clamping block 304, and the inner end of screw 306 is inserted into the outer end opening of connecting block 303 for fixation.
