Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tag technology and relates to recycling devices, particularly an RFID tag recycling device. Background Technology
[0002] An RFID tag recycling device is a machine used to recycle and process used Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. RFID tags are a technology that uses radio frequency signals for automatic identification and are widely used in logistics management, inventory control, and item tracking. With the popularization of RFID technology, a large number of waste tags have been generated, raising concerns about environmental protection and resource recycling. The main functions of an RFID tag recycling device include: Data erasure: During the recycling process, the equipment usually erases the data on the tags to protect user privacy and data security. Physical processing: Some devices may also have the ability to physically process the tags, such as compressing or shredding, to reduce volume and facilitate transportation and storage. Environmental protection: By recycling RFID tags, electronic waste is reduced, environmental resources are protected, and sustainable development is promoted. Reuse or remanufacturing: Some RFID tags can be reused after processing or used as raw materials for remanufacturing. Recycling RFID tags reduces electronic waste, protects environmental resources, and promotes sustainable development.
[0003] However, some existing RFID tag recycling devices are unable to quickly classify tags during use, which may require manual intervention to classify and process the tags during the recycling process. This increases labor costs and may lead to errors and inconsistencies. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: a card reader is installed inside the conveyor belt. When the tag passes through the top of the card reader, the card reader will detect the tag to ensure that the tag has reusable value. After the card reader completes the detection of the tag, it will transmit the information to the control panel.

A second synchronous belt 504 is installed on one side of one of the gears 506, and the other end of the second synchronous belt 504 is connected to the first motor 5. Thus, when the first motor 5 is started, the two crushing rollers 505 can be rotated to achieve the purpose of crushing the label.
[0031] In summary, the core beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor are respectively installed on the top of the conveyor belt. Through the installation of the first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor, the detection of the card reader can be recorded for later processing. Two air nozzles are installed on one side of the conveyor belt, and both air nozzles are connected to an air pump. When the air pump is started, the air nozzles can spray gas. When a usable tag moves to the second sensor, it will immediately transmit information to the control panel, and then the control panel will activate the corresponding air nozzle. When a tag that can no longer be used enters the bottom of the third sensor, the corresponding air nozzle will be activated, thereby ensuring that the tag enters the crushing chamber.
