Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tags for meat slaughtering, and in particular to a snap-on RFID tag that can be flexibly installed and removed. Background Technology
[0002] In meat slaughtering, pigs are suspended on slaughter hooks and tags are usually used for traceability management. However, existing tags have many problems in actual use and cannot meet the needs of flexible loading and unloading, repeated use and adaptability to complex environments. Currently, common tag installation methods include independent tags, integrated slaughter hook tags and manual marking.
[0003] However, these methods still have the following problems:
[0004] Independent tags are fixed to the pig's body with ties or adhesive tape, which is not only cumbersome to install and remove manually, but also prone to damage due to contact, and poses a hygiene risk of meat contamination. Integrated slaughter hook tags integrate the RFID chip with the slaughter hook, eliminating the installation and removal steps, but the RFID chip is easily lost with the hook during the circulation process, increasing long-term usage costs. Traditional manual marking methods rely on handwritten or imprinted codes to enter information, which is not only inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flexible, removable snap-on RFID tag to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a snap-on RFID tag that can be flexibly installed and removed.
[0006] This utility model provides a flexibly detachable snap-on RFID tag, including a U-shaped main component, a spring sheet, and an RFID chip; the U-shaped main component includes a U-shaped block, the inner side of which is provided with a groove, the spring sheet is provided inside the groove, the RFID chip is fixed to the tail end of the U-shaped block, and the front end of the U-shaped block is symmetrically provided with two protrusions.
[0007] Preferably, the U-shaped block and the protrusion are integrally formed.
[0008] Preferably, the spring sheet includes a straight portion, one side of which is fixedly connected to a U-shaped block, and two arc-shaped portions are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the straight portion.
[0009] Preferably, the straight portion and the arc-shaped portion are integrally formed.
[0010] Preferably, the arc-shaped portion protrudes towards the center of the groove.
[0011] Preferably, the arc-shaped portion protrudes towards the center of the groove.
[0012] Preferably, the RFID chip is fixed to the tail end of the U-shaped block by adhesive.
[0013] Preferably, the spring sheet is made of corrosion-resistant elastic metal or food-grade elastic plastic.
[0014] Compared with related technologies, the snap-on RFID tag that can be flexibly installed and removed provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] In this invention, by utilizing the elastic deformation characteristics of the arc-shaped portion of the spring sheet, the detachable snap-on RFID tag can be quickly installed on the slaughter hook rod and simultaneously removed from it without additional tools. This solves the problem of cumbersome traditional tag installation and removal. Furthermore, the tag is reusable, reducing operating costs. The detachable design of the tag and slaughter hook rod allows for easy removal and separate storage during the transfer of the slaughter hook, preventing tag loss due to synchronous transfer. The RFID chip enables rapid information exchange via wireless communication, eliminating the need for manual handwriting or imprinting of codes, thus improving management efficiency. Moreover, the tag is hygienic as it does not come into contact with the pig. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3A snap-on RFID tag that can be flexibly installed and removed includes a U-shaped main component 1, a spring sheet 2, and an RFID chip 3. The U-shaped main component 1 includes a U-shaped block 101, a slot 102 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped block 101, the spring sheet 2 is provided on the inner side of the slot 102, the RFID chip 3 is fixed to the tail end of the U-shaped block 101, and two protrusions 103 are symmetrically provided on the front end of the U-shaped block 101, the protrusions 103 extending into the inner side of the slot 102.
[0023] In the above, the slot 102 of the U-shaped block 101 provides installation space for the spring plate 2 and also provides a channel for the rod of the slaughter hook to enter. The RFID chip 3 is fixed at the tail end of the U-shaped block 101, which can stably store information and communicate wirelessly, and realize the tracking and management of associated objects.
[0024] Furthermore, the U-shaped block 101 and the protrusion 103 are integrally formed structures.
[0025] As described above, the one-piece molding structure makes the connection between the U-shaped block 101 and the protrusion 103 more secure, resulting in higher overall structural strength. It can withstand greater forces during installation and disassembly without being easily damaged, extending the service life of the label. It also reduces assembly steps and improves production efficiency.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the spring sheet 2 includes a straight portion 201. One side of the straight portion 201 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped block 101. It can be fixed by screws or by adhesive. Two arc-shaped portions 202 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the straight portion 201. The clamping or loosening with the slaughtering hook is achieved by the elastic deformation of the arc-shaped portions 202.
[0028] In the above, the straight part 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 102 of the U-shaped block 101, providing stable support for the arc-shaped part 202. When the arc-shaped part 202 is squeezed, the end of the arc-shaped part 202 away from the straight part 201 abuts against the corresponding protrusion 103. The arc-shaped part 202 can generate clamping force through elastic deformation and be fixed to the slaughter hook rod 4. When disassembly is required, the arc-shaped part 202 can deform and loosen under the action of external force, realizing flexible loading and unloading without additional tools and convenient operation.
[0029] Furthermore, the straight portion 201 and the curved portion 202 are integrally formed structures.
[0030] As described above, the one-piece molding structure ensures the overall elastic performance of the spring sheet 2, making the arc-shaped part 202 less prone to breakage during repeated deformation, enhancing the durability of the spring sheet 2, ensuring that the label can be reused multiple times, and reducing usage costs.
[0031] Furthermore, the arc-shaped portion 202 protrudes towards the center of the slot 102.
[0032] In the above, the arc-shaped part 202 protrudes towards the center of the slot 102, so that a space suitable for placing the slaughter hook 4 is formed between the two arc-shaped parts 202. When the slaughter hook 4 is inserted, the arc-shaped part 202 can apply clamping force to it from both sides, which improves the firmness of fixing to the slaughter hook 4 and prevents the label from falling off the slaughter hook 4 due to shaking or other reasons during use.
[0033] Furthermore, the RFID chip 3 is fixed to the tail end of the U-shaped block 101 by adhesive, and the outer surface of the RFID chip 3 is covered with a waterproof and oil-resistant coating.
[0034] The above-mentioned adhesive fixing method is simple to operate, making it easy to install and replace the RFID chip 3. The waterproof and oil-resistant coating can effectively protect the RFID chip 3, enabling it to work normally in complex environments such as meat slaughtering where it is humid and oily, and preventing the chip's performance and lifespan from being affected by moisture and oil.
[0035] Furthermore, the spring sheet 2 is made of corrosion-resistant elastic metal or food-grade elastic plastic.
[0036] As mentioned above, the corrosion-resistant elastic metal material makes the spring sheet 2 less susceptible to corrosion in humid and corrosive environments, and it can maintain good elasticity and structural stability for a long time. The food-grade elastic plastic meets food safety requirements and will not contaminate meat when used in meat slaughtering scenarios. It also has good elasticity and can meet the needs of flexible label loading and unloading.
[0037] The working principle of the snap-on RFID tag that can be flexibly installed and removed provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0038] When the detachable snap-on RFID tag needs to be installed on the slaughter hook, push the U-shaped block 101 to allow the slaughter hook rod 4 to enter the slot 102 and be positioned between the two arc-shaped portions 202. Utilizing the elastic properties of the arc-shaped portions 202 of the spring plate 2, force is applied to deform the arc-shaped portions 202 against the slaughter hook rod 4. At this time, the distance between the apexes of the protrusions of the two symmetrical arc-shaped portions 202 increases until the slaughter hook rod 4 comes into contact with the straight portion 201, and one end of the arc-shaped portion 202 abuts against the protrusion 103. This causes the sidewalls of the two arc-shaped portions 202 to press against the slaughter hook rod 4, clamping the slaughter hook rod 4 into the slot 102 through clamping force, thereby fixing the detachable snap-on RFID tag onto the slaughter hook. When disassembling, pull the U-shaped block 101, causing the arc-shaped portions 202 to elastically deform. The RFID tag is removed from the slaughter hook by changing the arc-shaped part 202 until it disengages from the slaughter hook rod 4. This allows for easy installation and removal of the RFID tag. The U-shaped block 101 and the protrusion 103 of the U-shaped main component 1 are integrally formed to enhance overall strength and prevent deformation under stress. The straight part 201 and the arc-shaped part 202 of the spring plate 2 are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the elastic deformation of the arc-shaped part 202 and ensure that the tag can be reused. The RFID chip 3 is fixed to the tail end of the U-shaped block 101 and interacts with external devices through wireless communication to achieve traceability management of pigs associated with the slaughter hook. The waterproof and oil-resistant coating on the outer surface of the RFID chip 3 protects the RFID chip 3 to work normally in complex environments and extends its service life.
