Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RFID handheld terminal technology, and more specifically to an RFID handheld terminal for cold chain logistics. Background Technology
[0002] Cold chain logistics is a special form of logistics that mainly involves temperature-sensitive goods, such as perishable foods, biological products, and precision chemicals. Throughout the entire supply chain, from production, storage, transportation to sales, the goods are kept in a controlled low-temperature environment to ensure their quality and safety.
[0003] RFID technology is a non-contact automatic identification technology that uses radio wave signals to identify target objects and exchange data. An RFID system mainly consists of tags, readers, and antennas. Tags are attached to items and store the item's unique identification information and other relevant data; readers send and receive radio frequency signals through the antenna to read or write data from the tags; the antenna is responsible for enhancing signal transmission and reception.
[0004] In the cold chain logistics sector, RFID handheld terminals play a crucial role in the inbound, outbound, and inventory management processes of cold chain warehouses. Workers can quickly scan RFID tags on goods using these terminals to obtain information such as name, quantity, batch number, and shelf life, enabling precise inventory management and real-time monitoring. This helps reduce human error, improves the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management, and the integration of cold chain logistics with RFID handheld terminals provides the industry with efficient and accurate data processing tools, contributing to improved operational efficiency and service quality, and ensuring the quality and safety of temperature-sensitive goods.
[0005] As shown in the prior art published in CN211044255U, although this prior art, by setting up a plastic card, allows the user to hang the RFID handheld terminal on their clothing pocket when not in use, and by using a moisture-absorbing pad to absorb moisture and prevent the user from holding the RFID handheld terminal for a long time, thus avoiding sweaty palms and the possibility of the RFID handheld terminal slipping from the user's hand, thereby increasing the safety of the RFID handheld terminal during use, this prior art has low operating comfort. Due to the low temperature in the cold chain environment, the worker's hands are easily chilled when in contact with it, making it difficult for the worker to hold the terminal flexibly, which in turn affects the flexibility and comfort of the worker holding the terminal. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides an RFID handheld terminal for cold chain logistics. It transfers heat generated by a heating wire to the interior of the encapsulation shell via a heat-conducting plate, and then releases the heat into the encapsulation shell through multiple heat dissipation strips. This heats the interior space of the encapsulation shell, effectively providing a normal temperature environment. This ensures the ease and comfort of operating the terminal itself, avoiding the impact of low-temperature environments in cold chains on operational flexibility and comfort, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an RFID handheld terminal for cold chain logistics, comprising a terminal body for cold chain logistics, wherein the terminal body is provided with auxiliary components for improving operational comfort.
[0008] The auxiliary components include a heating shell and a packaging shell installed at the bottom of the terminal body. The heating shell is located on the rear side of the packaging shell, and an electric heating wire is installed inside the heating shell.
[0009] A heat-conducting plate is installed inside the bottom of the encapsulation shell, and the rear side of the top of the heat-conducting plate penetrates through the heating shell and extends into the interior of the heating shell. Multiple spaced heat dissipation strips are installed on the top of the end of the heat-conducting plate near the encapsulation shell.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, both sides of the encapsulation shell are fixedly connected to a flow guide frame, and the top of the flow guide frame is fixedly connected to a guide frame. The top of the guide frame extends to the outside of the top of the terminal body. The flow guide frame and the guide frame guide and transport the hot air inside the encapsulation shell to the outside of the terminal body, thereby providing a stable room temperature environment for the terminal body and ensuring the performance of the terminal body.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the heat-conducting plate is provided with a handle, the top of which is fixed to the bottom of the terminal body. The connection between the handle and the terminal body allows the operator to hold the handle and operate the terminal body, thereby improving the convenience of the operator in operating the terminal body.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a moisture-absorbing ring is provided on the outer side of the bottom end of the grip. The moisture-absorbing ring absorbs sweat from the palm of the hand, thereby ensuring the stability of the grip between the hand and the grip and preventing the grip from loosening.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, air vents are provided on both sides of the heating shell, and dustproof nets are installed inside the air vents. The air vents connect the heating shell with the external environment, preventing heat accumulation from affecting the performance of the heating wire. At the same time, the dustproof nets block dust in the air, preventing dust from entering the heating shell and causing pollution.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a hook is rotatably connected to the bottom front end of the packaging shell. The hook allows the operator to easily place it on their belt, thereby improving the convenience of carrying the terminal unit.
[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The heat generated by the heating wire is transferred to the inside of the packaging shell through the heat conduction plate, and then the heat is released into the inside of the packaging shell through multiple heat dissipation strips, thereby heating up the internal space of the packaging shell and effectively providing a normal temperature environment to ensure the convenience and comfort of operating the terminal body, and avoid the impact of cold chain low temperature environment on the flexibility and comfort of operation.
[0017] 2. By connecting the airflow guide frame to the encapsulation shell, the hot air inside the encapsulation shell can flow through the airflow guide frame to the inside of the guide frame, and then through the guide frame to the outside of the terminal body. This provides a relatively stable room temperature environment for the terminal body, thereby improving the performance of the terminal body. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.
[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5This utility model provides an RFID handheld terminal for cold chain logistics, including a terminal body 1 for cold chain logistics, and auxiliary parts for improving operating comfort are provided on the outside of the terminal body 1.
[0026] The auxiliary components include a heating shell 2 and a packaging shell 3 installed at the bottom of the terminal body 1. The heating shell 2 is located on the rear side of the packaging shell 3, and an electric heating wire 4 is installed inside the heating shell 2. A heat-conducting plate 5 is installed inside the bottom end of the packaging shell 3, and the rear side of the top end of the heat-conducting plate 5 penetrates through the heating shell 2 and extends into the interior of the heating shell 2. A plurality of spaced heat dissipation strips 6 are installed on the top end of the heat-conducting plate 5 near the packaging shell 3. A handle 9 is provided on the top of the heat-conducting plate 5, and the top end of the handle 9 is fixed to the bottom of the terminal body 1.
[0027] The staff member puts their hand inside the encapsulation shell 3 and holds the handle 9 to operate the terminal body 1. To avoid the impact of low temperature in the cold chain environment on the comfort of operation, the heat generated by the heating wire 4 can be effectively transferred to the inside of the encapsulation shell 3 through the heat conduction plate 5, and then the heat is released into the inside of the encapsulation shell 3 through multiple heat dissipation strips 6, so as to heat up the internal space of the encapsulation shell 3. The temperature rise inside the encapsulation shell 3 can provide a normal temperature environment for the staff member's hand, thus improving the convenience and comfort of the staff member in operating the terminal body 1.
[0028] Meanwhile, to avoid the impact of low temperatures on the performance of the terminal body 1, the heat inside the packaging shell 3 can be reused, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, both sides of the encapsulation shell 3 are fixedly connected to the flow guide frame 7, and the top of the flow guide frame 7 is fixedly connected to the guide frame 8. The top of the guide frame 8 extends to the outside of the top of the terminal body 1. In use, through the connection between the flow guide frame 7 and the encapsulation shell 3, the hot air inside the encapsulation shell 3 can flow through the flow guide frame 7 to the inside of the guide frame 8, and then flow through the guide frame 8 to the outside of the terminal body 1. This can provide a relatively stable room temperature environment for the terminal body 1, thereby improving the performance of the terminal body 1.
[0029] Among these measures, to improve the stability of the grip on handle 9 and prevent it from slipping and falling due to sweaty palms, such as... Figure 1 and 5 As shown, a moisture-absorbing ring 10 is fitted on the bottom of the handle 9. The moisture-absorbing ring 10 absorbs the sweat from the palm of the worker's hand, thereby ensuring the stability of the grip between the worker's hand and the handle 9 and preventing it from loosening. In addition, a hook 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom front end of the encapsulation shell 3, which allows the worker to hang the terminal body 1 on the waist belt, thereby improving the convenience of the worker to carry the terminal body 1.
[0030] During the operation of the heating wire 4, in order to avoid overload caused by the inability to dissipate heat in time, it is necessary to ensure the efficiency of heat flow, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, air vents 11 are provided on both sides of the heating shell 2, and a dustproof mesh 12 is installed inside the air vents 11. By setting the air vents 11, the interior of the heating shell 2 can be connected to the external environment through the air vents 11, which facilitates the flow of hot air and avoids the accumulation of hot air from affecting the performance of the heating wire 4.
[0031] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
