Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a steel cable lifting ring and a wireless radio frequency device; in particular, it refers to a steel cable lifting ring with a wireless radio frequency device and the wireless radio frequency device of the steel cable lifting ring. Background Technology

[0002] To mark information such as the production history of certain manufactured products, the current practice is to attach radio frequency identification tags (RFID tags) to the manufactured products. The RFID tag's chip stores identification information such as the unique identification code, model, size, manufacturer, manufacturing date, service life or maintenance history of the corresponding manufactured product. The RFID tag's antenna allows an external reader to read the identification information stored in the chip.

[0003] Existing RFID tags include stickers, proximity cards, and hang tags. Hang tag-type RFID tags incorporate an RFID module containing a chip and antenna within the tag, which is then suspended from a steel cable sling by a loop on the tag. While this type of tag can be suspended from the sling, the method of suspension makes the tag prone to shaking. Over time, the loop or tag itself is susceptible to breakage or damage from friction with the sling or collisions with surrounding objects. This can prevent the tag from maintaining a stable attachment to the sling, or damage to the chip or antenna within the tag, rendering the stored identification information unreadable by external readers. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel cable sling with a wireless radio frequency device, the wireless radio frequency device of which is suitable for attachment to the steel cable sling, and the element used to store identification information is not easily damaged by collisions with external objects, thus having better reliability when used to mark information on the steel cable sling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a steel cable sling with a wireless radio frequency device, comprising a steel cable sling and a wireless radio frequency device. The steel cable sling includes a steel cable and a steel cable loop; the steel cable forms a loop, and two portions of the steel cable adjacent to both sides of the loop form a fixed section; the steel cable loop is looped around the fixed section and pressed against the fixed section. The wireless radio frequency device includes a fixing plate, a gasket structure, a rivet, and a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) particle. The fixing plate is a metal sheet and includes an insert portion and a riveting portion connected in sequence. The insert portion is inserted between the fixing section and the inner wall of the steel cable sleeve, and is tightly clamped by the fixing section and the inner wall of the steel cable sleeve. The riveting portion extends out of the steel cable sleeve and has a riveting hole. The gasket structure is annular and abuts against the surface of the riveting portion. The rivet has a groove, and passes through the riveting hole and the gasket structure to be riveted between the riveting portion and the gasket structure. The RFID particle includes a carrier and a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) module. The carrier is embedded in the groove, and the RFID module is enclosed within the carrier.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a wireless radio frequency (RFID) device for a steel cable hanging ring, comprising a fixing plate, a gasket structure, a rivet, and a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) particle. The fixing plate is a metal sheet and includes an insert portion and a riveting portion connected in sequence; the insert portion is elongated. The riveting portion has a riveting hole. The gasket structure is annular and abuts against the surface of the riveting portion. The rivet has a groove, and the rivet passes through the riveting hole and the gasket structure to be riveted between the riveting portion and the gasket structure. The RFID particle includes a carrier and a RFID module; the carrier is embedded in the groove, and the RFID module is enclosed within the carrier.

[0007] The advantage of this invention is that the RFID particles of the wireless radio frequency device are attached to the steel cable loop by the fixing plate. Since the fixing plate is a metal plate, when the steel cable loop is used, even if the steel cable loop shakes, the rivet and the RFID particles therein will not swing relative to the steel cable loop. This avoids the RFID particles from frequently hitting the steel cable loop and causing damage. In addition, the RFID particles are fixed by being embedded in the groove of the rivet, so that the RFID particles are not exposed on the head in a large area. This makes the RFID particles less susceptible to damage from collisions with surrounding objects, which improves the reliability of the RFID particles. Even if the steel cable loop is used in a harsh environment, the identification information stored in the RFID module can still be ensured to be secure. Attached Figure Description

[0071] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a steel cable sling 100 with a wireless radio frequency device is a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. It includes a steel cable sling 10 and a wireless radio frequency device 20, the wireless radio frequency device 20 being attached to the steel cable sling 10.

[0072] The cable shackle 10 includes a steel cable 12 and a cable loop 14. The outer portion of the steel cable 12 is looped to form a loop 121, and two portions of the steel cable 12 adjacent to the loop 121 form a fixed section 122. The cable loop 14 is a metal ring and is looped around the fixed section 122 of the steel cable 12. When the cable loop 14 is deformed by external pressure, its inner wall tightly clamps the fixed section 122, thereby pressing the cable loop 14 against the fixed section 122 of the steel cable 12, so that the loop 121 maintains its loop shape.

[0073] The wireless radio frequency device 20 includes a fixing plate 22, a gasket structure 24, a rivet 26, and a wireless radio frequency identification particle 28. The fixing plate 22 is a metal sheet with a thickness of 0.4 mm; in other preferred embodiments, the fixing plate 22 may also be a metal sheet with a thickness between 0.2 mm and 1 mm. The fixing plate 22 includes an insert portion 221 and a riveting portion 222 connected in sequence. The insert portion 221 is an elongated metal sheet extending along a straight line direction L; in this preferred embodiment, the insert portion 221 is a long rectangular metal sheet. The riveting portion 222 is a metal sheet integrally connected to the insert portion 221. The width H1 of the riveting portion 222 perpendicular to the straight line direction L is equal to the width H2 of the insert portion 221 perpendicular to the straight line direction L. The riveting portion 222 forms an arc edge 223 on the edge opposite to the insert portion, and the riveting portion 222 has a riveting hole 224 in the middle.

[0074] In this preferred embodiment, the width H1 of the riveting portion 222 perpendicular to the straight direction L is 16mm, the width H2 of the insert portion 221 perpendicular to the straight direction L is 16mm, and the length H3 of the insert portion 221 along the straight direction is approximately 75mm. When the fixing piece 22 is attached to the cable shackle 10, the insert portion 221 of the fixing piece 22 is first inserted between the fixing section 122 and the inner wall of the front side of the cable loop 14. Because the fixing piece 22 is thin and easily deformable, when the cable loop 14 is deformed by external pressure, the insert portion 221 can withstand the external pressure and deform together with the cable loop 14, so that the insert portion 221 is firmly clamped between the fixing section 122 and the inner wall of the cable loop 14, thereby fixing the fixing piece 22 to the cable shackle 10. The length of the portion of the insert 221 inserted into the cable loop 14 along the straight direction L is shorter than the length of the cable loop 14 along the straight direction L, and the riveting portion 222 of the fixing piece 22 extends out of the cable loop 14 toward the side facing the loop 121.

[0075] The fixing piece 22 is thin, and the riveting portion 222 of the fixing piece 22 is also thin. This results in insufficient thickness around the riveting hole 224 for the rivet 26 to be engaged. Therefore, the shim structure 24 is needed to thicken the surrounding area so that the rivet 26 can be engaged. The shim structure 24 includes two overlapping shims 241, each shim 241 having a through hole 242. The two through holes 242 of the two shims 241 communicate with each other. The innermost shim 241 of the shim structure 24 rests against the rear surface of the riveting portion 222, and the two through holes 242 are directly opposite the riveting hole 224.

[0076] The rivet 26 includes a head 261 and a shank 262 connected together. The diameter of the head 261 is greater than the diameter of the shank 262. The head 261 abuts against the front surface of the riveting part 222, and a groove 263 is formed on the side of the head 261 away from the shank 262. The groove 263 is a circular groove. The shank 262 is concentrically connected to the head 261. The shank 262 passes through the riveting hole 224 of the riveting part 222 and the two through holes 242 of the two washers 241. The outer end of the shank 262 is deformed by external force to form an enlarged portion 264. The enlarged portion 264 abuts against the rear surface of the outermost washer 241, thereby fixing the rivet 26 between the riveting part 222 and the washer structure 24.

[0077] The RFID particle 28 includes a carrier 281 and an RFID module 282. The carrier 281 is a flexible plastic cylinder, embedded in the groove 263 of the rivet 26. The carrier 281 is fixed by its outer peripheral surface abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the groove 263, and the outer surface of the carrier 281 is aligned with the surface of the head 261, or the outer surface of the carrier 281 only slightly protrudes from the surface of the head 261. The RFID module 282 is enclosed within the carrier 281, and includes an RFID chip and an antenna electrically connected to the RFID chip. The RFID chip of the RFID module 282 stores identification information, and the antenna allows external RFID readers to connect wirelessly, thereby reading or writing identification information to the RFID chip.

[0078] When the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is used, the radio frequency identification particle 28 stores identification information that can be read wirelessly by an external radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The identification information may be a unique identification code, model, size, manufacturer, manufacturing date, service life or maintenance history related to the steel cable sling 10 to which the radio frequency device 20 is attached. Since the RFID particle 28 is attached to the cable ring 10 via the rivet 26 and the fixing piece 22, and the fixing piece 22 is a metal sheet, the RFID particle 28 will not swing relative to the cable ring 10 when it is in use. In addition, the RFID particle 28 is embedded in the groove 263 of the rivet 26, so that the RFID particle 28 is not exposed on the head 261 in a large area, and is not easily damaged by collisions with surrounding objects. Therefore, the reliability of the RFID particle 28 can be improved. Even if the cable ring 10 is used in a harsh environment, the identification information stored in the RFID module 282 can still be securely stored, and the identification information of the cable ring 10 can be continuously marked.

[0079] In addition to the first preferred embodiment described above, in which the gasket structure 24 is configured to include two overlapping gaskets 241, the gasket structure 24 may also include three or more gaskets 241. Alternatively, the gasket structure 24 may be configured as a single annular structure, provided that the thickness of the gasket structure 24 is sufficiently thick so that the thickness of the overlapping portion 222 and the gasket structure 24 is sufficient for the rivet 26 to be engaged.

[0080] In addition to the first preferred embodiment described above, where the riveting part 222 extends from the side of the cable loop 14 toward the loop 121, in other preferred embodiments, the riveting part 222 may also extend outward from the side opposite to the loop 121. When the riveting part 222 is configured to extend from the side of the cable loop 14 toward the loop 121, since the rivet 26 is located near the cable loop 14 on the loop 121, the RFID particle 28 attached to the groove 263 of the rivet 26 is less likely to be damaged by external impacts due to the obstruction of the loop 121.

[0081] In addition to the first preferred embodiment described above, in which the widths of the insert portion 221 and the riveting portion 222 of the fixing piece 22 are set to be equal, the fixing piece 22 can also be changed to other shapes. Please refer to... Figures 6 to 10As shown, a steel cable sling 100A with a wireless radio frequency device according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a steel cable sling 10A and a wireless radio frequency device 20A. The steel cable sling 10A includes a steel cable 12A and a steel cable loop 14A. The outer portion of the steel cable 12A is wound to form a loop 121A, and two portions of the steel cable 12A adjacent to both sides of the loop 121A form a fixed section 122A. The steel cable loop 14A is looped around the fixed section 122A and pressed against the fixed section 122A.

[0082] The wireless radio frequency device 20A includes a fixing piece 22A, a gasket structure 24A, a rivet 26A, and a wireless radio frequency identification particle 28A. The fixing piece 22A is a metal sheet with a thickness of 0.4 mm. The fixing piece 22A includes an insert portion 221A and a riveting portion 222A connected in sequence. The insert portion 221A is an elongated metal sheet extending along a straight line direction L. The riveting portion 222A is a circular metal sheet connected to the insert portion 221A on one side facing the insert portion 221A. The width H4 of the riveting portion 222A perpendicular to the straight line direction L is greater than the width H5 of the insert portion 221A perpendicular to the straight line direction L. The riveting portion 222A has a width H4 of 19 mm perpendicular to the straight line L, the insert portion 221A has a width H5 of 8 mm perpendicular to the straight line L, and the insert portion 221A has a length H6 of approximately 75 mm along the straight line L. The riveting portion 222A has a riveting hole 224A in the middle.

[0083] The insert portion 221A of the fixing piece 22A is inserted between the fixing section 122A and the inner wall of the front side of the steel cable loop 14A, and the insert portion 221A is tightly clamped between the fixing section 122A and the inner wall of the steel cable loop 14A. The length of the portion of the insert portion 221A inserted into the steel cable loop 14A along the straight direction L is shorter than the length of the steel cable loop 14A along the straight direction L. The riveting portion 222A of the fixing piece 22A extends out of the steel cable loop 14A towards the rope loop 121A. The gasket structure 24A includes two overlapping gaskets 241A, each gasket 241A having a through hole 242A. The two through holes 242A communicate with each other. The gasket structure 24A has the innermost gasket 241A abutting against the rear surface of the riveting part 222A, and the two through holes 242A are directly opposite the riveting hole 224A.

[0084] The rivet 26A includes a head 261A and a shank 262A connected together. The diameter of the head 261A is larger than the diameter of the shank 262A and abuts against the front surface of the riveting part 222A. A groove 263A is formed on the side of the head 261A away from the shank 262A. The shank 262A is concentrically and integrally connected to the head 261A. The shank 262A passes through the riveting hole 224A and the two through holes 242A, and an enlarged portion 264A is formed at its outer end. The enlarged portion 264A abuts against the rear surface of the outermost washer 241A, thereby fixing the rivet 26A between the riveting part 222A and the washer structure 24A.

[0085] The RFID particle 28A includes a carrier 281A and an RFID module 282A. The carrier 281A is a flexible plastic block embedded in the groove 263A. The RFID module 282A is enclosed within the carrier 281A and includes an RFID chip and an antenna electrically connected to the RFID chip. The RFID chip of the RFID module 282A is used to store identification information, and the antenna is used for external RFID readers to connect wirelessly, thereby reading or writing identification information to the RFID chip.
