[0002] In wireless positioning technology, UWB (Ultra-Wideband) is a high-precision wireless positioning technology that uses nanosecond-level narrow pulses for communication. It features strong anti-interference capabilities and high time resolution, and is widely used in indoor positioning, industrial IoT device management, and autonomous driving. UWB positioning tags require periodic opening of the casing to replace the power supply during use. However, current positioning tag casings are difficult to disassemble, causing inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a positioning tag that is easy to disassemble.

[0004] This application provides a positioning tag, including: a first housing; a second housing, gap-connected to the first housing and forming a receiving cavity with the first housing; a bracket, disposed in the receiving cavity and connected to the first housing; a positioning component, disposed in the receiving cavity and connected to the first housing, the positioning component being located on the side of the bracket away from the second housing, wherein a portion of the positioning component passes through the bracket; a power source, disposed in the receiving cavity, the power source being located on the side of the bracket facing the second housing, the power source being electrically connected to the portion of the positioning component passing through the bracket; wherein the side of the bracket facing the second housing is provided with at least one first buckle, the side of the second housing facing the bracket is provided with at least one second buckle, the at least one second buckle and the at least one first buckle correspond one-to-one and are adapted to each other, and the second housing and the bracket are rotatably connected by the cooperation of the second buckle and the first buckle.

[0005] In use, the second housing and the bracket are rotatably connected via the cooperation of the second and first latches. When it is necessary to open the second housing to replace the power supply, rotate the second housing to disengage the second latch from the first latch, thus removing the second housing and replacing the power supply. After replacing the power supply, rotate the second housing to align the second latch with the first latch, connecting the second housing to the bracket. The second housing can be removed or installed by rotating it, facilitating disassembly for power supply replacement. Furthermore, the power supply is located on the side of the bracket away from the positioning component, spaced apart to prevent scratches or abrasions to the positioning component during power supply replacement, ensuring the stability of the positioning component. By placing the positioning component, bracket, and power supply within the cavity formed by the first and second housings, the positioning tag has a compact structure, which helps to reduce its size, further miniaturize it, and increase portability.

[0006] In one embodiment, the positioning tag further includes a prompting element disposed on the side of the positioning component facing the bracket and electrically connected to the positioning component, the prompting element being configured to emit sound and / or light.

[0007] The aforementioned location tag, by incorporating the aforementioned prompting elements, enables the location tag to emit sound and / or light, thereby facilitating its location and improving its reliability.

[0008] In one embodiment, the prompting element is a buzzer, and a sound groove is provided on the side of the bracket facing the bracket. The prompting element is located in the sound groove, and there is a gap between the prompting element and the bottom of the sound groove.

[0009] The aforementioned positioning tag is designed with a gap between the buzzer and the bottom of the sound groove to facilitate the buzzer's sound output while ensuring that the sound can be effectively propagated.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first housing has at least one latch, which is disposed on the periphery of the positioning component and configured to restrict the positioning component.

[0011] The aforementioned positioning tag, by providing at least one hook on the first housing, facilitates the restriction of the positioning components, thereby ensuring the reliability of the positioning tag.

[0012] In one embodiment, at least one of the first latch and the second latch has a convex arc portion that abuts against the other.

[0013] The aforementioned positioning tag, by limiting at least one of the first and second latches to have a convex arc portion that abuts against the other, ensures that the second housing and the bracket fit tightly and will not loosen when the first and second latches are aligned and abutted, thus preventing the second housing from being easily opened. At the same time, it avoids the second housing from being unable to fit tightly with the bracket after being frequently opened, thereby improving the connection stability of the positioning tag.

[0014] In one embodiment, the positioning tag further includes a seal disposed on the side of the bracket facing the second housing and abutting against the second housing.

[0015] The aforementioned positioning tag, by incorporating the aforementioned sealing element, enhances its sealing performance, prevents external moisture from penetrating, and improves its waterproof effect.

[0016] In one embodiment, the bracket has at least one first clearance groove on the side facing the second housing, and the at least one first clearance groove is correspondingly disposed with at least one first buckle. The first clearance groove is configured to avoid the second buckle. The second housing has at least one second clearance groove on the side facing the bracket, and the at least one second clearance groove is correspondingly disposed with at least one second buckle. The second clearance groove is configured to avoid the first buckle.

[0017] The aforementioned positioning label, by setting the first and second clearance grooves, facilitates the clearance of the second and first latches respectively, ensuring that the first and second latches can be smoothly misaligned and aligned, thereby improving the connection convenience between the second housing and the bracket.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first housing and the support are connected by ultrasound.

[0019] The aforementioned positioning tag, by defining the connection between the first housing and the bracket as ultrasonic, results in low connection cost and high connection efficiency between the first housing and the bracket.

[0020] In one embodiment, the positioning component includes a circuit board, a positioning element, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The circuit board is disposed in the receiving cavity and located between the first housing and the bracket. The first electrode and the second electrode are both disposed on the side of the circuit board facing the bracket and both pass through the bracket, and both are electrically connected to the power supply. The positioning element is disposed on the side of the circuit board away from the bracket and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0021] The aforementioned positioning tag, by setting a first electrode and a second electrode, enables the circuit board to be electrically connected to the power supply so that the power supply can supply power to the circuit board; by setting a positioning component, the positioning tag can realize the positioning function.

[0022] In one embodiment, the positioning tag further includes a fastener that passes through the bracket and is connected to the first housing.

[0023] The aforementioned positioning label, along with the fasteners described above, facilitates the positioning and connection of the bracket and the first housing. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a positioning tag 100. The positioning tag 100 can perform wireless positioning via UWB technology. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positioning tag 100 includes a first housing 10, a positioning component 20, a bracket 30, a power supply 40, and a second housing 50.

[0033] Specifically, the second housing 50 is gap-connected to the first housing 10, and the second housing 50 and the first housing 10 form a receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is used to accommodate components such as the positioning component 20, the bracket 30, and the power supply 40. The gap-connection between the second housing 50 and the first housing 10 can be understood as a portion of the second housing 50 being inserted into the first housing 10, with a gap between the outer surface of the second housing 50 and the inner surface of the first housing 10. The bracket 30 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and connected to the first housing 10. The positioning component 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and connected to the first housing 10. The positioning component 20 is located on the side of the bracket 30 opposite to the second housing 50, with a portion of the positioning component 20 passing through the bracket 30. The positioning component 20 performs wireless positioning using UWB technology. The power supply 40 is located inside the receiving cavity 11. The power supply 40 is located on the side of the bracket 30 facing the second housing 50. The power supply 40 is electrically connected to the positioning component 20 that passes through the bracket 30. The power supply 40 is used to provide power to the positioning component 20. The power supply 40 can be a button battery or other functional device that can provide power. The second housing 50 is also used to rotatably connect with the bracket 30 and cooperate with the bracket 30 to accommodate the power supply 40. The bracket 30 has at least one first buckle 31 on the side facing the second housing 50, and the second housing 50 has at least one second buckle 51 on the side facing the bracket 30. The at least one second buckle 51 and the at least one first buckle 31 correspond to and are adapted to each other. The second housing 50 and the bracket 30 are rotatably connected through the cooperation of the second buckle 51 and the first buckle 31. That is, by rotating the second housing 50, the first buckle 31 is misaligned with the corresponding second buckle 51, thereby separating the second housing 50 from the bracket 30, or assembling the second housing 50 with the bracket 30. By rotating the second housing 50 in the opposite direction, the first buckle 31 is aligned and abutted with the corresponding second buckle 51, that is, the second housing 50 is tightened in place, thereby connecting the second housing 50 with the bracket 30. The material of the second housing 50 can be plastic.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are three first buckles 31 and three second buckles 51. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of first buckles 31 and two buckles 51 may be one, two, four, or more. This application does not specifically limit this number; the number can be set according to the actual situation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bracket 30 has a receiving groove 32 for accommodating the power supply 40 on the side facing the second housing 50, and the power supply 40 is adapted to be disposed in the receiving groove 32. In this way, by providing the aforementioned receiving groove 32, the positioning tag 100 can be made thinner and lighter, improving the portability of the positioning tag 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the positioning tag 100 is in use, the second housing 50 and the bracket 30 are rotatably connected by the cooperation of the second buckle 51 and the first buckle 31. When it is necessary to open the second housing 50 to replace the power supply 40, rotate the second housing 50 so that the second buckle 51 is misaligned and separated from the corresponding first buckle 31, and the second housing 50 can be removed to replace the power supply 40. After replacing the power supply 40, rotate the second housing 50 in the opposite direction so that the second buckle 51 is aligned and abutted against the corresponding first buckle 31, and the second housing 50 can be connected to the bracket 30. The second housing 50 can be removed or installed by rotating it, which facilitates the disassembly of the second housing 50 to replace the power supply 40. In addition, the power supply 40 is located on the side of the bracket 30 away from the positioning component 20. The power supply 40 and the positioning component 20 are spaced apart to avoid scratching or damaging the positioning component 20 when replacing the power supply 40, thus ensuring the stability of the positioning component 20. By placing the positioning component 20, the bracket 30 and the power supply 40 in the receiving cavity 11 formed by the first housing 10 and the second housing 50, and partially inserting the second housing 50 into the first housing 10, the structure of the positioning tag 100 is made compact, which helps to reduce the size of the positioning tag 100, further achieving miniaturization and increasing portability.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first latch 31 and the second latch 51 have convex arc portions that abut against each other. That is, both the side of the first latch 31 that abuts against the second latch 51 and the side of the second latch 51 that abuts against the first latch 31 have convex arc portions. Thus, by limiting the first latch 31 and the second latch 51 to have convex arc portions that abut against each other, when the first latch 31 and the second latch 51 are aligned and abut against each other, their convex arc portions will correspondingly press against each other. This ensures that the second housing 50 and the bracket 30 fit tightly and will not loosen, preventing the second housing 50 from being easily opened. It also prevents the second housing 50 from being frequently opened and thus failing to fit tightly with the bracket 30, improving the connection stability of the positioning tag 100.

[0038] Understandably, in other embodiments, one of the first latch 31 and the second latch 51 may be configured to have a convex arc portion that abuts against the other, or some of the first latches 31 may be configured to have a convex arc portion that abuts against the other, and some of the second latches 51 may have a convex arc portion that abuts against the other. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this, and the specific configuration can be made according to the actual situation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bracket 30 has at least one first clearance groove 34 on the side facing the second housing 50, and the at least one first clearance groove 34 is correspondingly disposed with at least one first buckle 31. The first clearance groove 34 is configured to avoid the second buckle 51. The second housing 50 has at least one second clearance groove 52 on the side facing the bracket 30, and the at least one second clearance groove 52 is correspondingly disposed with at least one second buckle 51. The second clearance groove 52 is configured to avoid the first buckle 31. In this embodiment, there are three first clearance grooves 34 and three second clearance grooves 52. The length of the first clearance groove 34 is greater than the length of the first buckle 31, and the length of the second clearance groove 52 is greater than the length of the second buckle 51. When the second housing 50 is rotatably connected to the bracket 30, the second buckle 51 is located in the corresponding first clearance groove 34, and the first buckle 31 is located in the corresponding second clearance groove 52, so that the second housing 50 and the bracket 30 can be assembled in place. By rotating the second housing 50, the second buckle 51 moves along the first clearance groove 34 to align and abut with the corresponding first buckle 31, and the first buckle 31 moves along the second clearance groove 52 to align and abut with the corresponding second buckle 51.

[0040] Thus, by setting the first clearance groove 34 and the second clearance groove 52, the second buckle 51 and the first buckle 31 are respectively cleared, ensuring that the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 51 can be smoothly separated and aligned, thereby improving the connection convenience between the second housing 50 and the bracket 30.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first housing 10 has at least one hook 12, which is disposed on the periphery of the positioning component 20. The hook 12 is configured to restrict the positioning component 20. The hook 12 can be understood as having a structure with a bevel and a barb. The positioning component 20 slides into the barb via the bevel, thereby securing the positioning component 20 at the hook 12. Thus, by providing at least one hook 12 on the first housing 10, the positioning component 20 is secured at the hook 12, thereby restricting the positioning component 20 and ensuring the reliability of the positioning tag 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positioning tag 100 also includes a prompting element 60. The prompting element 60 is disposed on the side of the positioning component 20 facing the bracket 30, and is electrically connected to the positioning component 20. The prompting element 60 is configured to emit sound and / or light, wherein the emitted light is a flashing light. Thus, by providing the aforementioned prompting element 60, the positioning tag 100 has the function of emitting sound and / or light, facilitating the location of the positioning tag 100 and improving its reliability.

[0043] In this embodiment, the prompting element 60 can be a buzzer. A sound groove 33 is formed on the side of the bracket 30 facing the bracket 30. The prompting element 60 is located within the sound groove 33, and there is a gap between the prompting element 60 and the bottom of the sound groove 33. The bottom of the sound groove 33 can be treated with a high-gloss finish to improve sound propagation. The height of the sound groove 33 is, for example, 0.55 mm. The walls of the sound groove 33 can be irregularly shaped to increase its volume, thereby producing a louder sound. Thus, by creating a gap between the buzzer and the bottom of the sound groove 33, the buzzer can emit sound while ensuring effective sound propagation.

[0044] Understandably, in other embodiments, the prompting element 60 may also be a light emitter such as a diode or an audio-visual generator. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this, and the specific setting can be made according to the actual situation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning tag 100 further includes a sealing element 70. The sealing element 70 is disposed on the side of the bracket 30 facing the second housing 50 and abuts against the second housing 50. The sealing element 70 can be made of liquid silicone, formed by injection molding, or directly molded onto the bracket 30 by injection molding. The liquid silicone can achieve a waterproof rating of IPX7. Thus, by providing the sealing element 70, the sealing performance of the positioning tag 100 is improved, preventing external moisture from seeping in and enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, the positioning component 20 includes a circuit board 21, a positioning element 22, a first electrode 23, and a second electrode 24. The circuit board 21 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and located between the first housing 10 and the support 30. The first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24 are both disposed on the side of the circuit board 21 facing the support 30 and both pass through the support 30. The first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24 are both electrically connected to the power supply 40. The positioning element 22 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 21 away from the support 30 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. That is, the positioning element 22 and the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the circuit board 21. One of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24 can be connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 40, and the other of the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24 can be connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 40. Thus, by setting the first electrode 23 and the second electrode 24, the circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the power supply 40 so that the power supply 40 can supply power to the circuit board 21; by setting the positioning element 22, which is used for positioning, the positioning tag 100 can realize the positioning function.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning tag 100 also includes a fastener 80. The fastener 80 can be a screw, which passes through the bracket 30 and connects to the first housing 10. Specifically, the first housing 10 is also provided with a connecting cylinder 13, and the fastener 80 passes through the circuit board 21 of the bracket 30 and the positioning assembly 20 and is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 13. Thus, by providing the aforementioned fastener 80, it is convenient to position and connect the bracket 30 and the first housing 10.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first housing 10 and the support 30 can also be ultrasonically connected. Specifically, the first housing 10 can be provided with an integrally formed ultrasonic line, which is triangular in shape. For example, the ultrasonic line is 0.3 mm wide and 0.28 mm high. The support 30 is made of plastic and fiberglass materials, and the first housing 10 is made of plastic material, so that the first housing 10 and the support 30 can be ultrasonically connected. Understandably, ultrasonic joining is a technology that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibration energy to achieve solid-state bonding between materials. It is mainly used for the bonding of metals, plastics, and dissimilar materials. Its core principle is to use ultrasonic waves (usually with a frequency of 15 kHz–40 kHz) to induce frictional heating or plastic deformation at the material interface under pressure, thereby achieving molecular or atomic layer bonding. Specifically, in this embodiment, ultrasonic vibration causes frictional heating of the plastic molecular chains, which melts locally and then cools and solidifies under pressure. Thus, by limiting the connection between the first housing 10 and the support 30 to ultrasonic, the connection cost between the first housing 10 and the support 30 is low and the connection efficiency is high.

[0049] In this embodiment, the side of the first housing 10 facing away from the second housing 50 and / or the side of the second housing 50 facing away from the first housing 10 may also be decorated, such as product name, model, logo, etc.

[0050] In this embodiment, to dissipate heat from the positioning component 20, a first heat dissipation hole 35 is provided on the bracket 30, and a second heat dissipation hole 53 is provided on the second housing 50. The second heat dissipation hole 53 communicates with the first heat dissipation hole 35. Thus, by providing the aforementioned first heat dissipation hole 35 and second heat dissipation hole 53, heat dissipation of the positioning component 20 is facilitated, thereby improving the positioning stability of the positioning component 20.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
