[0005] This utility model provides a convenient installation method for visual e-ink electronic tags, comprising: a guide rail, a housing, a mounting base, and a panel; the top and bottom of the guide rail are provided with a first groove and a second groove; the housing is provided with a first protrusion corresponding to the first groove and a second protrusion corresponding to the second groove, the first groove has a cross-section of ︿-shaped structure, and the second groove has a cross-section of ⊿-shaped structure; the mounting base is disposed inside the housing, and the mounting base has an internally connected power supply, MCU, RFID chip, button, and e-ink screen; the panel is connected to the housing, and the panel is provided with a display window, a button hole, and a button cap, the e-ink screen is disposed corresponding to the display window, and the button cap is disposed at the button hole and covers the button.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting base includes a battery compartment, and a sliding cover is provided on the rear side of the battery compartment.
[0007] Preferably, the housing has slots on both the left and right sides, and the mounting base has protrusions on both the left and right sides, with the protrusions engaging with the slots.
[0008] Preferably, the power source consists of three button batteries.
[0009] Preferably, the guide rail is made of aluminum alloy.
[0010] Preferably, the buttons include a power button, a refresh button, a mode switching button, a configuration button, and a selection button.
[0011] This invention protects the internal power supply, MCU, RFID chip, buttons, and e-ink screen by designing a housing, panel, and mounting base, ensuring clear visibility of the corresponding display window on the e-ink screen and convenient, intuitive button operation. The double-layered groove structure, with a first groove at the top and a second groove at the bottom of the guide rail, provides greater installation flexibility and stability. The first groove has a "︿" shaped cross-section, and the second groove has a "⊿" shaped cross-section, ensuring that the mating first and second protrusions are firmly embedded, while allowing users to easily move the electronic tag along the guide rail to the desired position. This solves the problems of existing e-ink screen electronic tags being difficult to remove once fixed in one position, inconvenient position adjustment, and hindering battery replacement or maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0017] In the description of embodiments of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0018] Reference Figures 1-3A convenient installation method for visual e-ink electronic tags includes: a guide rail 1, a housing 2, a mounting base 3, and a panel 4; the guide rail 1 has a first groove 11 and a second groove 12 at its top and bottom; the housing 2 has a first protrusion 21 corresponding to the first groove 11 and a second protrusion 22 corresponding to the second groove 12, the first groove 11 has a cross-section of ︿-shaped structure, and the second groove 12 has a cross-section of ⊿-shaped structure; the mounting base 3 is disposed inside the housing 2, and the mounting base 3 has an internally connected power supply 31, MCU, RFID chip, button 32, and e-ink screen 33; the panel 4 is connected to the housing 2, and the panel 4 has a display window 41, a button hole 42, and a button cap 43, the e-ink screen 33 is disposed corresponding to the display window 41, and the button cap 43 is disposed at the button hole 42 and covers the button 32.
[0019] This invention protects the internal power supply 31, MCU, RFID chip, buttons 32, and e-ink screen 33 by setting up a housing 2, panel 4, and mounting base 3, making the corresponding display window 41 of the e-ink screen 33 clearly visible and the buttons 32 easy and intuitive to operate. The double-layer groove structure, with a first groove 11 and a second groove 12 at both the top and bottom of the guide rail 1, provides greater installation flexibility and stability. The first groove 11 has a "︿" shaped cross-section, and the second groove 12 has a "⊿" shaped cross-section, ensuring that the corresponding first and second protrusions 21 and 22 can be firmly embedded, while allowing users to easily move the electronic tag along the guide rail 1 to the desired position. This solves the problems of existing e-ink screen electronic tags being difficult to remove once fixed in a certain position, inconvenient position adjustment, and hindering battery replacement or maintenance.
[0020] Power supply 31 provides power to ensure the normal operation of the MCU, RFID chip, buttons 32, and e-ink display 33. The RFID chip is used to send and receive data. The MCU communicates with the RFID chip via a data bus; the MCU connects to buttons 32 via I / O pins to detect user input; the MCU connects to the e-ink display 33 via SPI / I2C / parallel interfaces, and the MCU is used to control the display content of the e-ink display 33.
[0021] In some embodiments, the mounting base 3 includes a battery compartment 34, and a sliding cover 35 is provided on the rear side of the battery compartment 34.
[0022] The battery compartment 34 houses the power supply 31; the sliding cover 35 allows users to easily open the battery compartment 34 without disassembling the entire electronic tag, facilitating quick and easy replacement of the power supply 31. The sliding cover 35 maintains the integrity of the electronic tag's appearance, ensuring that exposing the battery compartment 34 does not affect its aesthetics.
[0023] In some embodiments, the housing 2 is provided with slots 23 on both the left and right sides, and the mounting base 3 is provided with protrusions 36 on both the left and right sides, with the protrusions 36 being engaged in the slots 23.
[0024] The design of the slot 23 and protrusion 36 allows the housing 2 and mounting base 3 to be quickly and accurately aligned and assembled, reducing assembly time and difficulty. When maintenance or replacement of internal components is required, the mounting base 3 can be easily detached from the housing 2.
[0025] In some implementations, the power source 31 comprises three button batteries.
[0026] Button batteries are used in low-power devices. Three button batteries provide enough voltage for the MCU, RFID chip, and e-ink display 33 to operate. Button batteries have high energy density, providing sufficient power while maintaining a small size, extending the lifespan of electronic tags and reducing replacement frequency.
[0027] In some implementations, the guide rail 1 is made of aluminum alloy.
[0028] Aluminum alloy has high mechanical strength and good wear resistance, and can withstand greater pressure and impact; this ensures that the guide rail 1 is not easily deformed or damaged during long-term use, thus extending the service life of the guide rail 1.
[0029] In some implementations, button 32 includes a power button, a refresh button, a mode switching button, a configuration button, and a selection button.
[0030] The power button is used to control the electronic tag's power-on and power-off operations; the refresh button allows users to manually trigger the refresh of the e-ink screen 33 content; the mode switch button is used to switch between different working modes of the electronic tag, such as normal display and power-saving mode; the configuration button is used to configure the device, such as changing parameters, setting time, and adjusting brightness; the selection button is used to confirm the selection.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
