[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the locator in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a positioning device, and a hook 2. The hook 2 is connected to the housing 1 and is integrally formed with the housing 1. The hook 2 has a snap-fit ​​portion 21, which is located on the outside of the housing 1 and spaced apart from the housing 1. A clamping portion 3 for fixing the housing 1 to a target object is formed between the snap-fit ​​portion 21 and the housing 1. The positioning device includes a circuit board 4, a battery 5, and an antenna 6, both of which are connected to the circuit board 4. A mounting groove 11 is provided in the housing 1, and the circuit board 4, battery 5, and antenna 6 are all disposed in the mounting groove 11. In actual use, the locator can be directly clipped to clothing, backpacks, or other target objects without the need for a lanyard, greatly simplifying the wearing and removal process and effectively solving the problem of inconvenience in wearing and removing existing locators, significantly improving the user experience.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is elongated, and the hook 2 has an arc-shaped deformable part 22. One end of the deformable part 22 is connected to the end of the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the snap-fit ​​part 21. The deformable part 22, the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the housing 1 are integrally formed.
