Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of communication device port management, and in particular to an electronic tag bearing frame, an electronic tag module, a disc, and a communication device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern communication networks, optical fiber technology plays a crucial role, as it supports massive information flows with its high-speed and stable data transmission capabilities.

[0003] Due to the difficulty of the superior network management equipment of the optical fiber communication device in effectively monitoring and managing the optical fiber resources, the operator faces challenges such as massive optical fiber routing invisibility, resource unknowing, and fault positioning difficulty. In some related technologies, the connection relationship between the optical fiber communication device and the optical fiber connection line is mainly managed by manual means, for example, paper labels are respectively set near the terminals of the optical fiber connection line and near the optical fiber ports of the optical fiber communication device, and the positioning and pairing relationship of these paper labels are manually entered. This manual management method not only has low efficiency and large manual workload, but also is prone to entry errors or information loss, and therefore, there are problems such as low network opening efficiency, port resource waste, and fault positioning difficulty.

[0004] Electronic tags have gradually been applied to the management of, for example, municipal public facilities, logistics equipment, and communication facilities and equipment, due to their long service life, strong signal penetration, large information storage capacity, and diversified selection of types. Currently, electronic tags have been applied in the management of communication device ports. However, due to the large number of communication device ports, how to improve the installation efficiency and reading efficiency of electronic tags is a technical problem that has plagued technical personnel in the field for a long time. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] Embodiments of the present application provide an electronic tag bearing frame, an electronic tag module, a disc, and a communication device to improve the installation efficiency and reading efficiency of electronic tags.

[0006] According to an aspect of the present application, an electronic tag bearing frame is provided for installation on a disc of a communication device, wherein the disc includes a tray and a plurality of ports, the tray includes a bottom plate portion, a front panel portion, and two side plate portions opposite to each other, and the plurality of ports are exposed to the front panel portion and arranged transversely, the electronic tag bearing frame includes: a strip-shaped body for being arranged on a top side of the front panel portion; two clamping structures corresponding one-to-one to two ends of the strip-shaped body and corresponding one-to-one to clamping with the two side plate portions; a plurality of connecting portions connecting a front side of the strip-shaped body and corresponding one-to-one to being arranged above the plurality of ports; and a plurality of supporting portions corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of connecting portions, wherein each supporting portion is used for loading an electronic tag.

[0007] According to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the electronic tag carrier frame can be reliably and conveniently installed on the front side of the disc through the hanging and clamping mode. After the electronic tag carrier frame and the plurality of electronic tags thereon are installed, the plurality of supporting portions are correspondingly located above the plurality of ports, and the electronic tags loaded by the plurality of supporting portions correspondingly identify the information of the plurality of ports. In this way, on the one hand, since the installation of the plurality of electronic tags on the electronic tag carrier frame is obvious, the rapid and batch installation of the electronic tags can be realized, and the situation that the electronic tags are not installed or fall off and are not found can be reduced; on the other hand, the information of the plurality of electronic tags on the electronic tag carrier frame can be rapidly and batch read by using the reader, and the reading efficiency is high.

[0008] In some embodiments, the opposite sides of the two side plate portions are respectively provided with clamping protrusions; each of the two clamping structures includes a clamping hook portion, and the clamping hook portion is used for clamping with the corresponding clamping protrusion. By clamping the two clamping hook portions of the electronic tag carrier frame with the clamping protrusions of the two side plate portions of the tray, the electronic tag carrier frame and the tray can be quickly fixed together.

[0009] In some embodiments, each of the two clamping structures further includes a first elastic abutting portion protruding towards the corresponding side plate portion, and the first elastic abutting portion is used for abutting on the upper surface of the clamping protrusion and the part of the surface of the side plate portion located above the clamping protrusion. The first elastic abutting portion has a large inclusiveness for the length dimension of the disc, and when the length dimensions of different discs have differences within a certain error range, the first elastic abutting portion can maintain abutting with the clamping protrusion and the side plate portion through its own elastic deformation, so as to not only reduce the shaking of the electronic tag carrier frame relative to the disc, but also improve the stability of the installation of the electronic tag carrier frame on the disc.

[0010] In some embodiments, the strip-shaped body includes a top plate portion and a vertical plate portion connected by bending, wherein the top plate portion is used for being arranged at the top side edge of the front plate portion, and the vertical plate portion is used for being arranged at the front side of the front plate portion. The design of the strip-shaped body increases the overall mechanical strength, so that the electronic tag carrier frame can effectively resist bending and twisting deformation. In addition, when the electronic tag carrier frame is installed, the vertical plate portion can be blocked by the front plate portion, so that the electronic tag carrier frame can be prevented from being excessively pushed back in the width direction of the disc.

[0011] In some embodiments, the tray further comprises two hanging ear portions, which are located on opposite sides of the two side plate portions respectively; the electronic tag carrier further comprises two second elastic abutting portions, which are located on the front side of the two clamping structures and are convexly curved away from the two clamping structures, and are used for abutting against the rear side surfaces of the two hanging ear portions respectively. This design can reduce or even avoid the front and rear shaking of the electronic tag carrier relative to the disc; in addition, when the electronic tag carrier is clamped downward relative to the tray, the second elastic abutting portions will not be interfered and blocked by the hanging ear portions; in addition, the second elastic abutting portions have great inclusiveness for the thickness of the hanging ear portions, and can maintain abutting against the hanging ear portions through their own elastic deformation, so that the installation of the electronic tag carrier on the disc is more stable.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions extends upward from the front side of the clamping structure; or, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions extends downward from the front side of the clamping structure. The setting position of the second elastic abutting portion 3 can be designed flexibly.

[0013] In some embodiments, the strip-shaped body further comprises a slanted plate portion extending rearward and downward from the top plate portion. The design of the slanted plate portion can not only increase the mechanical strength of the strip-shaped body, thereby improving the bending and torsional deformation resistance of the electronic tag carrier, but also has an insertion guiding effect in the gap between the upper and lower discs when a plurality of discs are arranged along the height direction, which not only facilitates the insertion of the top plate portion into the gap between the upper and lower discs, but also makes the electronic tag carrier less likely to interfere or collide with the upper disc.

[0014] In some embodiments, the plurality of connecting portions are flexible connecting portions. When the terminals of the transmission line are inserted into the corresponding ports on the communication device after the electronic tag carrier is installed on the disc, the support portion can be lifted upward first, so that the flexible connecting portions are bent upward, so that the ports are completely exposed in the line of sight of the operator, thereby facilitating the operator to operate the insertion of the terminals into the ports.

[0015] In some embodiments, the strip-shaped body is provided with at least one screw hole for fastening connection with the front panel portion. After the electronic tag carrier is installed on the disc by the hanging and clamping mode, the electronic tag carrier and the disc can be fixed more firmly by using screws according to the needs.

[0016] In some embodiments, the extension direction of each connecting portion of the plurality of connecting portions is the same as the insertion direction of the corresponding port. In this way, it is convenient for the operator to perform the insertion operation from one side of the disc and to read the information of the electronic tags in batches by using the reader.

[0017] According to an aspect of the present application, an electronic tag module is provided, which comprises: an electronic tag carrier according to the aforementioned aspect embodiments; and a plurality of electronic tags loaded in the plurality of supporting portions one by one. With the electronic tag module of the embodiment, on one hand, since the installation of the plurality of electronic tags on the electronic tag carrier is clear at a glance, the rapid and batch installation of the electronic tags can be realized, and the occurrence of the situation that the electronic tags are not found due to missing or falling off can be reduced; on the other hand, the information of the plurality of electronic tags on the electronic tag carrier can be rapidly and batch read by using a reader, and the pairing information of the electronic tags and the opposite electronic tags can also be rapidly and batch read by using the reader.

[0018] According to an aspect of the present application, a disc applied to a communication device is provided, which comprises: a tray comprising a bottom plate portion, a front panel portion and two side plate portions opposite to each other; a plurality of ports exposed to the front panel portion and arranged transversely; and an electronic tag carrier according to the aforementioned aspect embodiments or an electronic tag module according to the aforementioned aspect embodiments mounted on the tray. Based on the design of the electronic tag carrier, not only the rapid and batch installation of the electronic tags can be realized, and the occurrence of the situation that the electronic tags are not found due to missing or falling off can be reduced, but also the information of the plurality of electronic tags on the electronic tag carrier can be rapidly and batch read by using a reader, and the pairing information of the electronic tags and the opposite electronic tags can also be rapidly and batch read by using the reader.

[0019] According to an aspect of the present application, a communication device is provided, which comprises: a disc holder, and one or more discs according to the aforementioned aspect embodiments arranged along the height direction and fixed to the disc holder. The plurality of electronic tags on the discs of the communication device can be rapidly and batch installed and read, and the installation and reading efficiency is high.

[0020] In some embodiments, the communication device comprises a fiber distribution frame, an optical distribution box or a fiber distribution box, and the plurality of electronic tags on the discs of the communication device can be rapidly and batch installed and read.

[0039] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0040] The terminology used in the following examples is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" are intended to include both singular and plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0041] Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.

[0042] In optical fiber communication networks, optical distribution frames (ODFs), optical cross connects (OCCs, also known as communication cable cross-connection boxes), and optical distribution boxes (ODBs) are common hardware devices. An ODF is a wiring connection device between optical cables and optical communication equipment, used for termination and distribution of main cables in a local optical communication system, and can facilitate connection, distribution, and scheduling of optical fiber lines. An OCC is also commonly known as a street cabinet, and is mainly used for connection, distribution, and scheduling of main cables and distribution cables. An ODB is mainly used for optical cable introduction, optical fiber cross-connection, storage and distribution of optical fiber jumpers, and integration of optical fiber fusion, termination, adapters, connectors, and cable connectors.

[0043] Currently, electronic tags have been applied in communication equipment port management. For example, electronic tags are used to manage the connection relationship between each optical fiber port in an OCC and a jumper fiber. Typically, the number of optical fiber ports in an OCC can be as many as several hundred, and accordingly, the number of jumpers connected thereto can also be as many as several hundred.

[0044] In some related technologies, a separate electronic tag is configured for each fiber jumper and each optical fiber port in an optical cross-connect box, each electronic tag needs to be installed separately, and after all the electronic tags are installed, the relevant positioning information and pairing information of the electronic tags need to be read one by one using a reader, which not only has low installation and reading efficiency, but also has messy electronic tag installation management, and the electronic tags are easy to fall off and not easy to be found.

[0045] For other communication devices that need to be managed, such as fiber distribution frames, fiber distribution boxes, etc., similar technical problems exist.

[0046] Therefore, embodiments of the present application provide an electronic tag carrier frame, an electronic tag module, a disc, and a communication device to improve the installation and reading efficiency of the electronic tag. Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, an electronic tag carrier frame is provided, which is used to be installed on a disc of a communication device and is used to load a plurality of electronic tags, the product form of the electronic tag carrier frame does not include the plurality of electronic tags. As shown in Figure 1 , it is a partial perspective structure schematic diagram of a communication device 500 according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2A and Figure 2B are respectively a perspective structure schematic diagram of an electronic tag carrier frame 100 according to some embodiments of the present application from different viewing angles. Figure 2C is a partial perspective structure schematic diagram of an electronic tag carrier frame 100 according to some embodiments of the present application from one viewing angle.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , the communication device 500 can include one disc 300 or include a plurality of discs 300 arranged along the height direction (as shown in Figure 1 for the case including a plurality of discs 300). In embodiments of the present application, the disc 300 includes a tray 310 and a plurality of ports 330.

[0049] The port 330 is used to connect a transmission line (not shown in the figure), and the type of the transmission line can include but is not limited to a fiber jumper or a fiber tail and the like. The number of ports 330 is not limited, for example, in some embodiments, the disc 300 can include 12 ports 330, and for the disc 300, the label carrier frame 100 shown in Figure 2A can be matched in design.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , the tray 310 can include a bottom plate part 311 (not shown in Figure 1 , and can refer to Figure 4B(Illustrated in the figure) A front panel portion 312 and two opposing side panel portions 313, with a plurality of ports 330 exposed on the front panel portion 312 and arranged laterally. Typically, the disk 300 also includes a core (not shown) disposed within the tray 310 and connected to the plurality of ports 330. In some embodiments, the tray 310 may also include a rear panel portion (not shown), and in some embodiments, the disk 300 may also include a cover plate (not shown) that closes to the tray 310.

[0051] When an operator manages or connects the ports 330 of the disk 300, they typically face multiple ports 330. Therefore, in this embodiment, the side of the disk 300, the electronic tag carrier 100, or their respective components are defined as the side closer to the operator as the front side, the side further away from the operator as the rear side, the side closer to the ground as the bottom side, and the side further away from the ground as the top side.

[0052] like Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, the electronic tag carrier 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes a strip-shaped body 110, two snap-fit ​​structures 120, multiple connecting parts 130, and multiple supporting parts 140. The strip-shaped body 110 is disposed on the top side of the front panel 312 of the tray 310. The two snap-fit ​​structures 120 are correspondingly connected to the two ends of the strip-shaped body 110 and are correspondingly engaged with the two side panels 313 of the tray 310. The multiple connecting parts 130 are connected to the front side of the strip-shaped body 110 and are correspondingly disposed above multiple ports 330. The multiple supporting parts 140 are correspondingly connected to the multiple connecting parts 130, wherein each supporting part 140 is used to load an electronic tag 150. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first row support portion 140 and the second row support portion 140 are shown without electronic tags 150, and the third row support portion 140 is shown with electronic tags 150 installed.

[0053] In this embodiment, the disk 300 has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from above, with its length direction aligned with the length direction of the strip body 110, and its width direction orthogonal to its length direction. In some embodiments, the insertion direction of the port 330 may form an acute angle with the length direction of the front panel portion 312; in other embodiments, the insertion direction of the port 330 may also be orthogonal to the length direction of the front panel portion 312. This embodiment does not specifically limit this aspect.

[0054] According to the electronic tag carrier frame 100 in the embodiments of the present application, the plurality of electronic tags 150 can be sequentially loaded on the plurality of supporting portions 140 based on the correspondence between the plurality of electronic tags 150 and the plurality of ports 330 before or after the electronic tag carrier frame 100 is installed on the disc 300. The electronic tag carrier frame 100 can be reliably and conveniently installed on the front side of the disc 300 by means of hanging and clamping. After the electronic tag carrier frame 100 and the plurality of electronic tags 150 thereon are installed, the plurality of supporting portions 140 are one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of ports 330, and the electronic tags 150 loaded on the plurality of supporting portions 140 one-to-one identify the information of the plurality of ports 330. In this way, on the one hand, since the installation of the plurality of electronic tags 150 on the electronic tag carrier frame 100 is obvious, the rapid and batch installation of the electronic tags 150 can be achieved, and the situation that the electronic tags 150 are not installed or fall off and are not found can be reduced; on the other hand, the information of the plurality of electronic tags 150 on the electronic tag carrier frame 100 can be rapidly and batch read by using a reader, and the reading efficiency is high.

[0055] In some embodiments, the plurality of transmission lines (such as jumper fibers or tail fibers) corresponding to the plurality of ports 330 of the disc 300 are also provided with electronic tags near the terminals (for the sake of distinction, the electronic tags 150 on the electronic tag carrier frame 100 are referred to as first electronic tags, and the electronic tags near the terminals of the transmission lines are referred to as second electronic tags in some descriptions herein), and when the terminals of the transmission lines and the ports 330 are correspondingly plugged, the first electronic tags and the second electronic tags also establish a pairing relationship, and in this scenario, the pairing information of the plurality of pairs of first electronic tags and second electronic tags can be rapidly and batch read by using a reader.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific type of the electronic tag 150 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the electronic tag 150 can be an RFID (radio frequency identification) electronic tag.

[0057] As Figure 3As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the RFID system architecture 200 in the related art. In the related art, the RFID system architecture 200 generally includes an RFID electronic tag 210, an RFID reader 220 and a management system 230. The RFID electronic tag 210 is generally arranged on an object to be identified and managed, such as the above-mentioned support portion 140. The management system 230 can be arranged on an electronic device such as a server, a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a personal computer. In some embodiments, the RFID reader 220 can be arranged on the same electronic device as the management system 230, such as the above-mentioned electronic devices. The RFID reader 220 transmits a radio frequency signal of a specific frequency through its own antenna. When the RFID electronic tag 210 enters the effective working area of the RFID reader 220, the chip of the RFID electronic tag 210 can obtain energy through the inductive magnetic field or its own power supply, and after being activated, it can send the ID (identity document) information carried through its built-in antenna to the RFID reader 220, and then the RFID reader 220 sends the read ID information to the management system 230. The technical features of RFID include: it can realize long-distance identification of several meters to tens of meters; it has high data storage capacity; it can quickly identify multiple RFID tags at the same time; it has strong signal penetration ability; and it can be applied to harsh working environments.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic tag can be an NFC (near field communication) electronic tag. NFC technology is derived from RFID technology, which is a short-range high-frequency wireless communication technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data non-contact at very close distances (usually less than 10 centimeters). The technical features of NFC include: it can realize short-distance communication within 10 centimeters; NFC devices can quickly establish a connection, almost achieving touch-to-connect; it can support multiple working modes, such as active mode, passive mode or bidirectional mode; it is compatible with high-frequency RFID standards and can be connected with high-frequency RFID systems and devices; and it consumes low power.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, it is preferred to use RFID electronic tags, so that a larger number of RFID electronic tags can be read in batches using a reader.

[0060] Clamping is generally to fix two objects together through the clamping, protrusions and other structures between the objects, which has strong holding force. In the embodiments of the present application, the design form of the structure for realizing the clamping between the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310 is not limited.

[0061] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the electronic tag carrier 100 is arranged on the tray 310 through clamping, and the electronic tag carrier 100 is fixed on the tray 310 through clamping. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, among them,Figure 4A This is a schematic diagram of the mounting structure 120 of the electronic tag carrier 100 according to some embodiments of this application. Figure 4B This is a schematic diagram showing the snap-fit ​​structure 120 engaging with the side panel portion 313 of the tray 310. In these embodiments, the two opposite sides of the two side panel portions 313 of the tray 310 are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions 314 (e.g., Figure 4B As shown, each latching structure 120 of the electronic tag carrier 100 includes a latching hook 121 for engaging with a corresponding latching protrusion 314. By engaging the two latching hooks 121 of the electronic tag carrier 100 with the corresponding latching protrusions 314 of the two side plate portions 313, the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310 can be quickly and easily secured together. The specific structural form of the latching protrusion 314 is not limited; for example, in some embodiments, it can be in the form of… Figure 4B The inverted L-shape shown; or, for example, in another embodiment (not shown in the drawings), the snap-fit ​​protrusion may be a protrusion protruding from the side plate portion 313.

[0062] Based on the snap-fit ​​design between the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310, in some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, each mounting structure 120 may further include a first elastic abutment portion 122 that bends toward the corresponding side plate portion 313. This first elastic abutment portion 122 is used to abut against the upper surface of the locking protrusion 314 and the portion of the side plate portion 313 located above the locking protrusion 314. The first elastic abutment portion 122 has a large tolerance for the length dimension of the disk 300 (approximately equal to the distance between the opposing surfaces of the two side plate portions 313). When the length dimensions of different disks 300 differ within a certain error range, the first elastic abutment portion 122 can maintain abutment with the locking protrusion 314 and the side plate portion 313 through its own elastic deformation. Therefore, it can not only reduce the shaking of the electronic tag carrier 100 relative to the disk 300, but also improve the stability of the electronic tag carrier 100 installed on the disk 300.

[0063] exist Figure 4A and Figure 4B In the illustrated embodiment, the first elastic abutment portion 122 and the hook portion 121 generally present a "vertical bend hook" shape. When the length of the disk 300 is relatively small within a certain error range, the first elastic abutment portion 122 can abut against the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 314 and the part of the side plate portion 313 located above the snap-fit ​​protrusion 314. Thus, the two snap-fit ​​structures 120 can be clamped onto the opposite surfaces of the two side plate portions 313, making the installation of the electronic tag carrier 100 on the disk 300 more stable and less prone to shaking.

[0064] When the length dimension of the disc 300 is relatively large within a certain error range, the first elastic abutting portion 122 is abutted by the side plate portion 313, and thus elastically deformed, which can slightly increase the convex bending radius thereof, and further slightly turn the hook tip of the hook portion 121 to the clamping protrusion 314 (in the counterclockwise direction in Figure 4B the drawing), so that the clamping of the hook portion 121 and the clamping protrusion 314 is more secure.

[0065] Based on the clamping and fixing design of the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2A , at least one screw hole 1121 can be further provided on the strip-shaped body 110 of the electronic tag carrier 100, which is used to fasten and connect the electronic tag carrier 100 and the front panel portion 312 of the tray 310. After the electronic tag carrier 100 is installed on the disc 300 by hanging and clamping, the electronic tag carrier 100 and the disc 300 can be further fixed by screws according to the needs.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, before the electronic tag carrier 100 is securely clamped and fixed with the tray 310, the electronic tag carrier 100 can be pre-hung on the front side of the disc 300, that is, the strip-shaped body 110 of the electronic tag carrier 100 is placed on the top side of the front panel portion 312 of the tray 310, so that the front panel portion 312 supports the electronic tag carrier 100. In this way, the installation is convenient and labor-saving.

[0067] Based on the clamping and fixing design of the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2B , the strip-shaped body 110 can include a top plate portion 111 and a vertical plate portion 112 connected by bending, wherein the top plate portion 111 is used to be arranged on the top side edge of the front panel portion 312, and the vertical plate portion 112 is used to be arranged on the front side of the front panel portion 312. In these embodiments, the strip-shaped body 110 includes the top plate portion 111 and the vertical plate portion 112 connected by bending, so that the overall mechanical strength thereof is increased, and thus the electronic tag carrier 100 can effectively resist bending and twisting deformation. In addition, when the electronic tag carrier 100 is installed, the vertical plate portion 112 can be blocked by the front panel portion 312, so that the electronic tag carrier 100 can be prevented from being excessively pushed backward in the width direction of the disc 300. In addition, the screw hole 1121 can be provided on the vertical plate portion 112, so as to facilitate the operator to select and use screws to further fix the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310.

[0068] As shown in Figure 2BAs shown, in some embodiments, in addition to the top plate part 111 and the vertical plate part 112, the strip-shaped body 110 can further include an inclined plate part 113 extending backward and downward from the top plate part 111. The design of the inclined plate part 113 can on one hand increase the mechanical strength of the strip-shaped body 110, thereby improving the bending and torsional deformation resistance of the electronic tag carrier 100, and on the other hand, when multiple discs 300 are arranged along the height direction, the inclined plate part 113 has an insertion guiding effect in the gap between the upper and lower discs 300, which not only facilitates the insertion of the top plate part 111 into the gap between the upper and lower discs 300, but also makes the electronic tag carrier 100 less likely to interfere or collide with the upper disc 300.

[0069] Based on the clamping and fixing design of the electronic tag carrier 100 and the tray 310, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2B 、 Figure 2C 、 Figure 5A and Figure 5B , the tray 310 can further include two hanging ear parts 315 located at the opposite sides of the two side plate parts 313 one by one. In these embodiments, for the two hanging ear parts 315, the electronic tag carrier 100 is designed with two second elastic abutting parts 123 located at the front side of the two clamping structures 120 and convexly curved away from the two clamping structures 120, as shown in Figure 5B , the two second elastic abutting parts 123 are used to abut on the rear side surfaces of the two hanging ear parts 315 one by one.

[0070] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5B , the two hanging ear parts 315 are respectively curved toward the front, which can be arranged at the positions adjacent to the front plate part 312 of the two side plate parts 313, or at the positions where the two side plate parts 313 meet the front plate part 312. After the electronic tag carrier 100 is pre-hung on the disc 300, the two hanging ear parts 315 can limit the movement of the electronic tag carrier 100 along the length direction to a certain extent, so that multiple electronic tags 150 can be accurately aligned with multiple ports 330, making the installation of the electronic tag carrier 100 more convenient.

[0071] As shown in Figure 5BAs shown, the two second elastic abutting portions 123 can play a clamping role together with the vertical plate portion 112 due to the certain elasticity, so that the relative front and back shaking of the electronic tag carrier 100 relative to the tray 300 can be reduced or even avoided. The second elastic abutting portions 123 are convexly curved away from the clamping structure 120, so that when the electronic tag carrier 100 is clamped downward relative to the tray 310, the second elastic abutting portions 123 will not be hooked by the lug portion 315, that is, will not be interfered and blocked by the lug portion 315. In addition, the second elastic abutting portions 123 have great inclusiveness for the thickness of the lug portion 315, and can keep abutting with the lug portion 315 through the elastic deformation of the second elastic abutting portions 123, so that the installation of the electronic tag carrier 100 on the tray is more stable.

[0072] The setting position of the second elastic abutting portions 123 can be flexibly designed. For example, Figure 2B As shown in some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions 123 (two are shown in the figure) extends downward from the front side of the clamping structure 120.

[0073] As shown in some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions 123 (two are shown in the figure) extends downward from the front side of the clamping structure 120. Figure 6 As shown, it illustrates the second elastic abutting portions 123 of the electronic tag carrier 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. In these embodiments, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions 123 (two are shown in the figure) extends upward from the front side of the clamping structure 120.

[0074] In addition, in still some other embodiments of the present application (which are not shown in the drawings), at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions can also be provided without being attached to the clamping structure, for example, can extend downward from both ends of the top plate portion of the strip-shaped body.

[0075] As shown, it illustrates the second elastic abutting portions 123 of the electronic tag carrier 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. In these embodiments, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions 123 (two are shown in the figure) extends upward from the front side of the clamping structure 120. Figure 2A 、 Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, it illustrates the second elastic abutting portions 123 of the electronic tag carrier 100 according to some other embodiments of the present application. In these embodiments, at least one of the two second elastic abutting portions 123 (two are shown in the figure) extends upward from the front side of the clamping structure 120. Figure 7A is a front structure schematic view of the supporting portion 140 of the electronic tag carrier 100 according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 7B is a back structure schematic view of the supporting portion 140. The connecting portion 130 is used to connect between the strip-shaped body 110 and the supporting portion 140. In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 130 can be a flexible connecting portion, which can be in a linear or sheet shape. After the electronic tag carrier 100 is installed on the tray, when the terminal of the transmission line is inserted into the corresponding port on the communication device, the supporting portion 140 can be first lifted upward, so that the flexible connecting portion is bent upward, for example, bent by about 90 degrees, so that the port is completely exposed in the line of sight of the operator, and the operator can easily operate the insertion of the terminal into the port. The material of the flexible connecting portion can include but is not limited to plastic or metal with good flexibility, etc.

[0076] In some other embodiments of the present application, the plurality of connecting portions 130 can also be rigid connecting portions, as long as the design thereof does not affect the plugging of the terminals and the ports. For example, in some embodiments, when the electronic tag carrier 100 is installed on the disk, the rigid connecting portions are upwardly curved, so that the ports can be completely exposed below the supporting portions 140.

[0077] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2A , in some embodiments of the present application, the extending direction of each connecting portion 130 can be the same as the plugging direction of the corresponding port 330. For example, when the plugging direction of each port 330 is an acute angle θ with the length direction of the disk 300, the extending direction of each connecting portion 130 is also an acute angle θ with the length direction of the disk 300, so that the operator can conveniently perform the plugging operation from one side of the disk 300 and the reader can conveniently read the information of the electronic tags 150 in batch.

[0078] The specific structural form of the supporting portion 140 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, in some embodiments, the supporting portion 140 can be designed in a card holder structure, which has a slot and a limiting structure, and the electronic tag 150 is fixed in the slot by the limiting structure after being inserted into the slot.

[0079] Referring to Figure 2A , according to some embodiments of the present application, an electronic tag module 400 is also provided, which is used to be installed on the disk 300 of a communication device 500 such as Figure 1 .
