Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RFID tag patching technology, and in particular to an RFID tag patching mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] RFID tags, also known as electronic tags, radio frequency tags, transponders, or data carriers, are a core component of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. RFID tags are a non-contact automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency signals to identify target objects and acquire relevant data, requiring no manual intervention. RFID tags typically consist of a coupling element (such as an antenna) and a chip; each tag has a unique electronic code used to identify the target object.

[0003] RFID tags are miniature electronic devices that integrate radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. They are typically designed as patches for easy attachment to object surfaces. They communicate with readers via radio signals to achieve automatic data identification, storage, and transmission, and are widely used in logistics, retail, healthcare, asset management, and other fields.

[0004] Currently, most RFID tag application is done manually, which is inefficient. Some on-line tagging machines scan the goods being transported and then apply tags to their surfaces. While this improves efficiency, it also increases equipment costs. Furthermore, the tagging angle of these machines is fixed, requiring repeated adjustments to align the product's angle with the machine's angle each time it's used to fit different shaped goods. This results in poor flexibility and low operability. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an RFID tag patching mechanism, which aims to solve the problems of the current patching machine having a single patching angle, requiring repeated adjustment of the product angle to match the patching angle of the patching machine when adapting different shaped products, resulting in poor flexibility and low operability.

[0006] The present invention provides an RFID tag patching mechanism, including a patch assembly, an operating grip disposed at the upper right corner of the patch assembly for operating the patch assembly, and a patching auxiliary component embedded at the bottom of the patch assembly for adjusting the patch angle.

[0008] As described above, the patching auxiliary component can be adjusted according to the tilt angle of the patching area of ​​the product to fit the product surface and complete the patching operation. In addition, the elastic structure at the bottom of the patching auxiliary component can automatically fill in when passing over the curved surface of the product, so that the label can fit the curvature of the product surface to complete the patching operation. This greatly improves the flexibility of this utility model and enables adaptive adjustment based on different product shapes. It solves the problem that the current patching machine has a single patching angle, and the product angle needs to be repeatedly adjusted to correspond with the patching machine's patching angle each time it is adapted to different shaped products, resulting in poor flexibility and low operability.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The image shows the RFID tag patching mechanism in this embodiment of the present invention, including a patch assembly 1, an operating grip 2 located at the upper right corner of the patch assembly 1 for operating the patch assembly 1, and a patching auxiliary component 3 embedded at the bottom of the patch assembly 1 for adjusting the patch angle. It should be noted that the operating grip 2 is also equipped with a controller for controlling the patch assembly 1. The controller can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) chip to control the patch assembly 1. The controller and the patch assembly 1 are electrically connected, and the electrical connection includes wired and wireless connections. Wireless connection methods include, but are not limited to, Bluetooth, WiFi, IF radio frequency, and Zigbee. Wired connection methods include, but are not limited to, USB connecting the patch assembly 1 and the controller. The circuit, patch assembly 1 includes a housing 11, a feeding assembly 12 embedded in the top of the housing 11 for accommodating the label roll, a first receiving assembly 14 embedded in the upper left corner of the housing 11 for accommodating label waste, a guide roller 13 disposed between the feeding assembly 12 and the first receiving assembly 14, and a second receiving assembly 16 disposed at the bottom of the housing 11 and near the patch auxiliary component 3 for accommodating label waste.

[0027] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 12 includes a feeding roller 122 movably embedded in the top of the housing 11 for accommodating the label roll, and a first flip cover 123 flipped on the top of the housing 11. The top of the housing 11 has a first feed inlet 121 for accommodating the feeding roller 122. The first receiving assembly 14 includes a first motor roller 142 movably embedded in the upper left corner of the housing 11 for winding label waste, and a second flip cover 143 flipped on the upper left corner of the housing 11. The upper left corner of the housing 11 has a second feed inlet 141 for accommodating the first motor roller 142. The second receiving assembly 16 includes a second motor roller 162 movably embedded in the lower right corner of the housing 11 for collecting label waste, and a fourth flip cover 163 flipped on the lower right corner of the housing 11. The lower right corner of the housing 11 has a... There is a third feed port 161 for accommodating the second motor roller 162. The bottom of the outer casing 11 and the bottom of the patching auxiliary component 3 are provided with a third flip cover 15. The patching auxiliary component 3 includes a driving component provided at the top and an angle adjustment component that is connected to the bottom of the driving component. The driving component includes a driving tooth 33 that is at least partially embedded in the outer casing and a linkage tooth 32 located at the bottom of the driving tooth 33. The driving tooth 33 adopts a double tooth coaxial design and the gear embedded in the outer casing 11 is connected to the linkage tooth 32. The angle adjustment component includes a fixing frame 31 that is fixedly connected to the linkage tooth 32 in the axial direction, at least two telescopic rods 34 embedded at the bottom of the fixing frame 31, a spring 35 provided between the telescopic rods 34 and the fixing frame 31, and a tension roller 36 provided on the side of the telescopic rods 34 away from the fixing frame 31.

[0028] Regarding the filling of the label roll on the patch assembly 1, it should be noted that the label roll mainly consists of three layers: two outer oil-based material strips, which can be made of smooth PV plastic or oil paper; and an RFID tag located between the two oil-based material strips. For the transmission path of the label roll, firstly, the label roll is fitted onto the feed roller 122. Then, the feed end of the label roll is torn into two parts: one side is a separate waste material strip, and the other side is a strip with a label. Next, the separate waste material strip is wound around the first motor roller 142. The strip with the label is then wound sequentially through the patch auxiliary component 3 to the second motor roller 162 to complete the material filling of the patch assembly 1. To ensure tension of the label roll during transmission, a damping shaft can be provided in the axial direction of the feed roller 122. To increase the tension of the material strip when it is driven by the first motor roller 142 and the second motor roller 162, the flatness of the label on the material strip can be guaranteed to a certain extent. In addition, to avoid the RFID tag that is pasted in the middle of the two oily material strips adhering to the side of the waste material strip, that is, the side closer to the first receiving component 14, in some optional embodiments, a shovel structure can be set at the tear point of the oily material strip and near the material waste strip conduction side to guide the RFID tag. In order to prevent the shovel from sticking to the RFID tag during the shovel process, an oily coating can be attached to the surface of the shovel structure. At the same time, the adhesion points between the RFID tag and the material strip with the tag can be increased, so that the RFID tag always maintains the adhesion strength to the side of the material strip with the tag.

[0029] In practice, the operator can first open the third flip cover 15 to expose the patching auxiliary component 3 at the bottom of the patch assembly 1. Then, the operator can hold the operating handle 2 to attach the exposed patching auxiliary component 3 to the patching area of ​​the product. The operator can then control the first motor roller 142 and the second motor roller 162 to open simultaneously using the controller on the operating handle 2. This allows the label to be sequentially transferred to the patching auxiliary component 3 and pasted onto the product surface to complete the patching operation. After the first motor roller 142 and the second motor roller 162 open simultaneously and are attached to the product surface, the patch assembly 1 will slide in the driving direction due to the driving action of the first motor roller 142 and the second motor roller 162. Therefore, it is understandable that during the patching process, the operator only needs to hold the operating handle 2 to ensure its stability. During the process, the patch assembly 1 will slide against the patching area of ​​the product and complete the patching operation. The operation process is easy and simple.

[0030] Furthermore, the above operation is limited to patching operations on flat product surfaces. When patching products with inclined or uneven surfaces, the drive teeth 33 located outside the housing 11 can be rotated to drive the inner drive teeth 33 to rotate as well. To ensure the stability of the drive teeth 33 after rotation, a damping shaft can be added at the connection between the drive teeth 33 and the housing 11, or a fastening bolt can be added to the drive shaft outside the housing 11. After rotating the drive teeth 33, tension is generated between the fastening bolt and the housing 11, thereby adjusting the tightness of the drive teeth 33. Then, the drive teeth 33 drive the meshing linkage teeth 32 to rotate, and drive the fixing frame 31 to adjust its angle. During this process, the tension roller 3... The material belt on 6 will adjust its angle to ultimately conform to the tilt angle of the product surface. In addition, if the product surface has a curved arc, the operator only needs to apply a certain pressure towards the product while holding the handle 2 to cause the spring 35 to deform to a certain extent. Then, the first motor roller 142 and the second motor roller 162 will automatically fill the curved surface of the product when they roll due to the structural characteristics of the spring 35. It can be understood that the spring 35 drives the telescopic rod 34 and the tension roller 36 to conform to the curved surface of the product, and the tension roller 36 completes the labeling operation on the product surface. This greatly improves the flexibility of this utility model and allows for adaptive adjustment based on different product shapes.

[0031] In summary, the labeling auxiliary component 3 can be adjusted according to the tilt angle of the labeling area to conform to the product surface and complete the labeling operation. In addition, the elastic structure at the bottom of the labeling auxiliary component 3 can automatically fill in when passing over a curved product surface, so that the label can conform to the curvature of the product surface to complete the labeling operation. This greatly improves the flexibility of this utility model and allows for adaptive adjustment based on different product shapes. It solves the problem that current labeling machines have a single labeling angle, and each time different shaped products are adapted, the product angle needs to be repeatedly adjusted to correspond to the labeling angle of the labeling machine, resulting in poor flexibility and low operability.
