Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of badge technology, specifically to a badge with anti-counterfeiting function. Background Technology

[0002] Badges, as important identification markers, are widely used for identification and management in various important occasions. Traditional badges are mainly made of metal or other materials, and their value is reflected through specific shapes, patterns, or symbols. However, existing badges generally suffer from insufficient anti-counterfeiting performance, relying primarily on appearance features for authentication. This single method of anti-counterfeiting is easily counterfeited. Especially in high-profile occasions with many people, counterfeit badges can lead to serious security risks and management chaos. Currently, the market lacks badge products that combine physical anti-counterfeiting features with electronic anti-counterfeiting technology, making multi-layered anti-counterfeiting verification impossible. Furthermore, in existing badges that employ electronic anti-counterfeiting, the electronic anti-counterfeiting components are often exposed, making them vulnerable to damage or unauthorized reading, affecting the anti-counterfeiting effect and lifespan. These problems severely restrict the secure application of badges in important occasions. Therefore, existing technologies urgently need improvement to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a badge with anti-counterfeiting function.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a badge with anti-counterfeiting function, comprising a badge body, a QR code icon engraved on the inner side of the badge body, an inwardly arranged mounting groove on the side wall of the badge body, a slider that can slide outwardly arranged in the mounting groove, an RFID electronic chip arranged on the slider, a spring for pressing the slider in the mounting groove, and a closing cover slidably installed on the side wall of the badge body corresponding to the opening of the mounting groove.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In existing technologies, badges are typically made of metal or other materials and are used to identify identity, achievements, or affiliation. The need for badge identification and management in high-profile settings is increasing, but existing badges lack effective anti-counterfeiting technologies, making them easy to forge and copy. When counterfeit badges are used in formal settings, it can lead to security risks such as chaotic identity management and loss of control over permissions.

[0020] To address the aforementioned issues, an anti-counterfeiting technology combining physical structure and electronic verification needs to be developed. Traditional anti-counterfeiting methods often employ single verification approaches, such as holographic patterns or ordinary QR codes, which suffer from the drawbacks of being easily copied and removed. Analysis reveals that combining a physically hidden structure with dual electronic verification can create a complementary verification mechanism. Considering the contactless reading characteristics of RFID technology and the information capacity advantage of QR codes, integrating both within the badge and incorporating a hidden trigger structure can effectively improve anti-counterfeiting reliability.

[0021] Therefore, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application proposes a badge with anti-counterfeiting function, which includes a badge body, a QR code icon engraved on the inner side of the badge body, an inward mounting groove provided on the side wall, a slider that can slide outward in the mounting groove, an RFID electronic chip provided on the slider, a spring that presses against the slider in the mounting groove, and a closing cover that slides on the side wall corresponding to the opening of the mounting groove. Anti-counterfeiting is achieved by comparing the QR code identification information with the RFID electronic chip identification information.

[0022] The QR code icon is a scannable graphic formed through laser engraving or etching, specifically a QR code or Data Matrix code, used to store the badge's unique identification information. The mounting slot is a recessed structure on the side wall of the badge, specifically milled or stamped, used to accommodate the slider and spring assembly. The slider is a movable part with a guiding structure, specifically a sliding rail and a limiting block, used to carry the RFID chip and control its exposure. The spring is a mechanical element providing elastic restoring force, specifically a helical spring or a leaf spring, used to push the slider outward after the closed cover is opened. The closed cover is a sliding part covering the opening of the mounting slot, specifically a sliding rail and a snap-fit ​​structure, used to close the slider in the mounting slot in the non-verified state, shielding the RFID chip signal. Information comparison refers to reading the QR code and RFID chip data separately using external equipment and performing consistency verification, specifically using a database matching algorithm, used to verify the badge's authenticity.

[0023] Specifically, the badge body is made of metal, with its sidewalls machined to form a mounting groove. Inside the mounting groove is a slider and spring assembly, with the slider's sliding range limited by a limiting structure. The closed cover moves along a pre-set track on the sidewall, normally completely covering the mounting groove opening. When verification is required, sliding the closed cover exposes the opening, and the spring pushes the slider outward, causing the RFID chip to detach from the metal shielding area. At this time, an external device can simultaneously scan the QR code icon and read the RFID chip information, verifying the badge's authenticity through two-way data matching. After verification, pressing the slider resets it, and the closed cover re-closes the mounting groove.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, traditional badges rely on a single visual anti-counterfeiting feature, which can be easily copied by taking a photo or replacing the chip. This solution combines the shielding effect of the metal body with a mechanical linkage structure, forcing physical operation to expose the chip, while also requiring dual matching of QR code and RFID information. This composite verification mechanism significantly increases the difficulty of counterfeiting, and the concealed design prevents the chip from being damaged by direct contact.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves a dual-locking mechanism of physical operation and electronic verification for anti-counterfeiting authentication. The metal body shields RFID signals in its closed state, preventing unauthorized reading; a specific operation is required to trigger the slider to pop up and complete the verification process. The independent storage space design for the QR code and RFID chip ensures that any tampered data can be identified, significantly improving anti-counterfeiting reliability.

[0026] This application further proposes that the slider is made of plastic and that an RFID electronic chip is embedded within the slider.

[0027] The slider being made of plastic means that it is formed using plastic materials, specifically injection molding. Plastic is lightweight, wear-resistant, and easy to process. The RFID electronic chip embedded within the slider means that the chip is completely encased inside the plastic slider, which can be achieved using a pre-embedded injection molding process. The chip is covered by a plastic layer, forming an integrated structure that prevents the chip from being exposed or falling off.

[0028] Specifically, the slider is manufactured into a specific shape using injection molding, with a pre-existing cavity for placing the RFID electronic chip. During injection molding, the chip is pre-positioned within the mold, and the molten plastic fills the cavity, completely encasing the chip to form a non-removable embedded structure. When the slider is pushed outward by a spring, the plastic material reduces the overall weight and sliding resistance; simultaneously, the embedded chip, protected by the plastic layer, avoids direct contact with the external metal badge body, preventing signal shielding or physical damage.

[0029] Compared to existing technologies, traditional badges that use external chips or metal support structures are prone to chip damage or signal interference due to friction and collisions. The combination of a plastic slider and an embedded chip solves the chip installation stability problem, ensures effective signal transmission through the material's insulation properties, and the concealed design increases the difficulty of counterfeiting.

[0030] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves reliable fixation of the RFID electronic chip in the slider, avoiding chip displacement or failure due to vibration or external force; the combination of plastic material and embedding process reduces processing costs and improves chip protection performance, thereby enhancing the accuracy and durability of anti-counterfeiting verification.

[0031] This application further proposes that the two side walls of the mounting groove are respectively provided with slides, and the two sides of the slider are respectively provided with limiting protrusions corresponding to the slides. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusions and the slides, after the slider is ejected from the mounting groove by the elastic force of the spring, the inner end of the slider can be restricted in the mounting groove, thus preventing the slider from coming out of the mounting groove as a whole.

[0032] The slide rail refers to a linear guide structure located on both sides of the mounting groove, which can be implemented as a groove or a raised rail, used to guide the slider to slide along a preset path. The limiting protrusion refers to a protruding structure located on both sides of the slider, which can be a rectangular or trapezoidal protrusion matching the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail, limiting the slider's displacement range through its cooperation with the slide rail. The spring pressing action refers to the application of a pushing force to the slider through an elastic element, which can be implemented using a helical spring or a spring sheet, providing the slider with the power to spring outwards.

[0033] Specifically, when the slider slides outward under the pressure of the spring, the limiting protrusion moves along the slide until it contacts the end of the slide. At this time, the inner end of the slider is still confined within the mounting groove, thus preventing complete disengagement. When it is necessary to retract the slider, external force is applied to make it slide in the opposite direction along the slide. The cooperation between the limiting protrusion and the slide ensures a stable movement trajectory.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, this solution, through the cooperation of the slide and the limiting protrusion, achieves physical constraints on the displacement range while maintaining the pop-out function of the slider, thus significantly improving the structural reliability.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the problem of the slider easily detaching after popping out, ensuring that the RFID chip always remains connected to the badge body, avoiding the failure of anti-counterfeiting function due to component loss, while simplifying the user operation process and achieving stable use without additional fixing measures.

[0036] This application further proposes a sliding cover with a strip-shaped slider. The outer side of the cover has a closing block with the same size as the opening of the mounting groove. The length of the closing block is less than the overall length of the cover, and the width of the closing block is less than the overall width of the cover. After the cover closes the opening of the mounting groove, the size of the closing block and the opening of the mounting groove are perfectly matched, making the badge body appear flat. When the cover is slid, the closing block and the cover slide with the opening of the mounting groove and open the opening. Then, the spring acts on the slider, causing the slider to pop out of the mounting groove.

[0037] The closure cover is a sliding component that covers the opening of the mounting slot. It can be made of metal or plastic and is a strip-shaped structure. The opening is opened or closed by sliding, protecting the internal RFID chip and maintaining the badge's flat appearance. The closure block is a local structure on the outside of the closure cover that matches the opening of the mounting slot. It can be a rectangular or circular protrusion with the same dimensions as the opening. When closed, it completely covers the opening, preventing external impurities from entering the mounting slot. The opening of the mounting slot is the channel entrance on the side wall of the badge body. It can be designed as a rectangular or arc-shaped opening, with its dimensions matching the closure block to ensure precise alignment when the closure cover slides.

[0038] Specifically, the closing cover is embedded in a limiting slide rail on the side wall of the badge body via a strip-shaped sliding structure, forming a seamless cover between the closing block and the mounting slot opening when closed. When access to the RFID chip is needed, the closing cover is slid to the end of the limiting slide rail, the closing block moves with the closing cover as a whole, the mounting slot opening is fully exposed, and a spring pushes the slider to eject the chip outward. After the chip is used, the slider is pressed back into the mounting slot, the closing cover slides in the opposite direction until the closing block covers the opening again, and the badge surface returns to a flat state.

[0039] This solution utilizes the cooperation of a closing cover and a closing block to achieve both concealed protection of the chip and ensure the integrity of the badge's appearance. The solution employs a sliding closing cover, requiring only a one-way push or pull to complete the opening and closing action.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem that the traditional badge closure structure cannot balance concealment and ease of operation. The sliding design of the closure cover makes the chip exposed only during verification, reducing the risk of illegal copying. At the same time, the size matching between the closure block and the opening avoids unevenness on the badge surface, improving the aesthetics when worn.

[0041] This application further proposes that a limiting slide be provided on the side wall of the badge body corresponding to the opening of the mounting groove. The closing cover is placed in the limiting slide. When the spring presses the slider, the upper end of the slider presses against the closing cover. The closing cover is fixed at the opening of the mounting groove by the closing block. When the RFID electronic chip needs to be used, the closing block is pressed down to move the closing block and the closing cover together into the limiting slide. Then, the closing block is moved to open the opening of the mounting groove. After the opening is opened, the spring acts on the slider to make the slider pop out of the mounting groove. When the slider is pressed back into the mounting groove, the closing cover is moved to slide in the limiting slide and move the closing block to the opening, thus fixing the closing block at the opening of the mounting groove.

[0042] The limiting slide refers to a track structure set on the side wall of the badge body, used to guide the sliding path of the closing cover, thereby restricting the direction of movement of the closing cover. The closing block refers to the protruding part on the outer side of the closing cover, the size of which matches the opening of the mounting groove. Specifically, it can be a rectangular block integrally formed with the closing cover, used to completely cover the opening in the closed state, preventing external impurities from entering the mounting groove. The tossing operation refers to applying lateral force to the closing block with a finger. Specifically, anti-slip textures or recessed areas can be set on the surface of the closing block to increase friction, making it easier for the user to push the closing cover along the limiting slide.

[0043] Specifically, the closing cover is slidably connected to the badge body via a limiting slide. Under normal conditions, the spring force presses the slider against the inside of the closing cover, completely sealing the mounting slot opening. When it is necessary to read the RFID chip, the closing block is pressed downwards, causing the entire closing cover to move laterally along the limiting slide. At this point, the closing block disengages from the opening area, exposing the opening. The spring then pushes the slider outwards, exposing the RFID chip. After verification, the slider is manually pressed back into the mounting slot, the closing cover is moved laterally, and the closing block slides back into the opening area. The spring force ensures a tight fit between the closing block and the edge of the opening.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, this application ensures that the RFID chip is only exposed during verification and remains completely closed under normal conditions. The cooperative structure of the closing cover and the limiting slide allows for operation without complex tools; pressing and sliding actions can be completed with a single finger, significantly improving the smoothness and reliability of user operation.

[0045] This application further proposes a limiting slide rail comprising a first slide rail connected to each other and disposed at the opening of the mounting slot, and a second slide rail disposed within the badge body. The depth of the first slide rail is greater than the depth of the second slide rail. The closing cover is disposed within the first slide rail corresponding to the closing block, and the tail end of the closing cover is disposed within the second slide rail. A second spring is disposed within the second slide rail, which abuts against and presses against the tail end of the closing cover. Through the cooperation of the two slide rails and the placement of the second spring within the second slide rail, it is convenient that when closing the opening of the mounting slot, after pressing the slider into the mounting slot, the action of the second spring causes the closing cover to pop out and be placed at the opening of the mounting slot, further reducing the step of manually resetting the closing cover.

[0046] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of difficult operation of the closing cover in a narrow space, realizes the technical effect of quickly closing the installation slot with one hand, significantly improves the convenience of anti-counterfeiting function maintenance operation, and avoids the risk of RFID chip being exposed for a long time due to operational errors.

[0047] This application further proposes that the badge body is made of metal, and the metal badge can shield the RFID electronic chip signal reception. Only after the cover is opened and the slider is slid out can the RFID electronic chip receive the signal from the verification device.

[0048] The term "made of metal" refers to the badge body being made of metal materials, such as copper, aluminum, or stainless steel. Metal materials possess electromagnetic shielding properties. Signal shielding refers to the metal material hindering communication between external signals and the RFID electronic chip. This is achieved through the conductivity and magnetism of the metal. When the RFID electronic chip is enclosed inside the metal badge, its signal transmission is blocked.

[0049] Specifically, when the metal badge body is closed, it forms a sealed space, enclosing the RFID chip within the metal environment. In this state, external verification devices cannot read the chip's information. When the cover is opened and the slider pops out, the RFID chip is released from the metal shielding area, allowing the chip to communicate with the external verification device and complete the information verification. This process, through physical structure, restricts the transmission conditions of the chip's signal, ensuring that anti-counterfeiting verification is triggered only under specific conditions.

[0050] Compared to existing technologies, current badges lack proactive anti-counterfeiting measures and cannot achieve anti-counterfeiting through both physical and electronic verification. This solution utilizes the signal shielding effect of metal materials, combined with the concealed installation of RFID chips, ensuring that chip information can only be read when the slider pops up, thereby preventing unauthorized devices from stealing or forging chip data.

[0051] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves controllability of the anti-counterfeiting verification process, ensuring that the RFID electronic chip is only exposed to a communicable state under specific operations, preventing unauthorized signal reading behavior. At the same time, by combining metal materials with electronic chips, a dual anti-counterfeiting mechanism of physical and information is formed, improving the reliability of the badge's authenticity verification.

[0052] This application further proposes that the outer side of the badge body is provided with a badge mark, and different badge marks are designed according to the actual characteristics of the badge.

[0053] In this context, the badge logo refers to the visual identifier affixed to the outer surface of the badge itself. It can be achieved using metal engraving, enamel painting, or laser etching techniques, and serves to convey the identity, achievements, or organizational information represented by the badge. The design of this logo varies depending on the specific characteristics of the badge; for example, the shape of the pattern, the text content, or the color combination can be adjusted according to the usage scenario, giving different badges unique visual features, thereby enhancing recognizability and complementing anti-counterfeiting functions.

[0054] Specifically, the visual design differentiation of badges provides a foundation for anti-counterfeiting verification. When the markings on the outer side of the badge, the QR code on the inner side, and the RFID chip information on the side wall form a multi-layered verification system, anti-counterfeiting functions can be achieved through manual visual comparison and cross-verification of electronic data. For example, in an identity verification scenario, staff first observe the details of the pattern on the outer side of the badge, then scan the QR code to obtain preset information, and finally read the encrypted data from the RFID chip. Only when the three pieces of information match can the badge be determined to be genuine.

[0055] Compared to existing technologies, traditional badges rely on a single visual identifier and lack variability, making them easy to counterfeit. This solution allows badges to be designed differently according to actual needs, giving each badge a unique visual characteristic. It also combines QR codes and RFID chips to form a multi-dimensional anti-counterfeiting system, significantly increasing the difficulty of counterfeiting.

[0056] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of the single anti-counterfeiting method of traditional badges. By using a dual verification mechanism of variable visual marks and electronic data, it effectively prevents counterfeiting by simply copying the mark pattern while maintaining the badge's appearance recognition.

[0057] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
