Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and mold technology, specifically to a tool cabinet for tooling and molds based on RFID. Background Technology

[0002] RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology that uses wireless radio frequency signals for contactless data communication to automatically identify and collect information about objects or people. It involves attaching or embedding RFID tags to objects and using the wireless interaction between the RFID reader and the tag to quickly and accurately obtain relevant information about the object.

[0003] Currently, RFID technology is widely used in logistics, retail, transportation, and manufacturing to achieve efficient goods management and automated operations. In implementing a technical solution, the first step is to determine the application scenario and requirements, and select appropriate RFID tags, RFID readers, and antennas. System integration is then performed, connecting the RFID readers to the backend management system, and developing or configuring the corresponding software to achieve data collection, processing, and analysis functions.

[0004] Existing patent number CN113158701A discloses an RFID-based object-finding device. This device has limited functionality, relies on manual scanning, is inefficient, has a limited reading distance, and is susceptible to environmental interference. Patent number CN113158701A also discloses an object-finding system and method based on passive RFID multiple access technology. However, this system suffers from high complexity due to its multi-module design, making integration and debugging difficult, resulting in high construction and operating costs. Furthermore, its positioning accuracy is limited in complex environments.

[0005] The existing tooling and molds generally lack positioning accuracy during retrieval and identification, which affects the management efficiency of tooling and molds, results in longer search times, and increases the possibility of errors. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, ABS UHF anti-metal tags can be fixed to the tooling mold using adhesive, screws, rivets, etc. The ABS UHF anti-metal tag can be programmed with tooling mold type information via a microcontroller 12. The mold slot 15 on the pallet 2 facilitates limiting and securing the tooling mold, ensuring stable support from the pallet 2. The groove on the underside of the pallet 2 facilitates forklift lifting and transporting of the tooling mold. When the tooling mold is being handled, the antenna 16 can sense the signal from the ABS UHF anti-metal tag, automatically detecting and accurately recording information about different types of tooling molds. When the tooling mold is placed on pallet 2, the RFID reader 9 can automatically read the information on the ABS UHF anti-metal tag, so that the picking and placement information of the tooling mold is accurately recorded. Through RFID technology, the tooling mold can be automatically identified and accurately located, which significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of mold management. Compared with the traditional manual management method, the time for finding the mold is greatly reduced, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0026] Both the side plate 7 and the back plate 8 are made of aluminum alloy, and the lower side of the support plate 2 has a strip groove.

[0027] The top plate 1 is connected to the antenna 16 by screws.

[0028] The working principle is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, ABS UHF anti-metal tags can be fixed to the tooling mold using adhesive, screws, rivets, etc. The ABS UHF anti-metal tag can be programmed with tooling mold type information via a microcontroller 12.
