Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of body-in-white manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an installation tool for a radio frequency identification chip. Background Technology

[0002] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips are a core component of the vehicle body. Currently, RFID chips are manually attached to the longitudinal beams of the body. However, in actual production, it has been found that manual installation cannot guarantee the dimensional accuracy of the RFID chips. Therefore, after installing RFID chips manually, it will affect the acquisition and identification of vehicle order information at various data collection points during the production process, thereby compromising the production process and directly causing production stoppages or even losses in output and labor productivity.

[0003] Therefore, after repeated on-site experiments and analyses, a solution is urgently needed to ensure the installation dimensional accuracy of RFID chips in the core components of the vehicle body. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an installation tool for wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) chips to solve the technical problem of low installation dimensional accuracy of RFID chips in core automotive components.

[0005] The installation tool includes a main body and at least one magnetic component. The main body has a limiting notch with a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface that are interconnected. The first limiting surface is used to limit the RFID chip in a first direction, and the second limiting surface is used to limit the RFID chip in a second direction. Each magnetic component is disposed on the main body, thereby enabling the main body to be magnetically attached to the vehicle body. The first and second directions are perpendicular to a third direction, and the third direction is parallel to the thickness direction of the main body and the thickness direction of the RFID chip.

[0006] In an optional embodiment of this application, the main body includes a main body portion and an extension portion. The main body portion is provided with a limiting notch and at least one magnetic attractor. The extension portion protrudes along a third direction onto a first side surface of the main body portion. The first side surface is perpendicular to the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface. The extension portion is provided with at least one magnetic attractor, thereby enabling the extension portion to be magnetically attracted to the vehicle body.

[0007] In an optional embodiment of this application, the main body is provided with at least one first through hole in a third direction, and a corresponding magnetic attractor is embedded in each first through hole, with the magnetic attractor exposed in the main body.

[0008] In an optional embodiment of this application, the extension is provided with at least one second through hole along the second direction, and a corresponding magnetic attractor is embedded in each second through hole, with the magnetic attractor exposed in the extension.

[0009] In an optional embodiment of this application, the main body also includes a limiting part, which protrudes along a third direction on a second side opposite to the first side of the main body, and the limiting part can cooperate with a process hole on the vehicle body.

[0010] In an optional embodiment of this application, the magnetic suction elements on the limiting part and the main body are misaligned; and / or the magnetic suction elements on the limiting part and the extension part are misaligned.

[0011] In an optional embodiment of this application, the magnetic locating element on the limiting part, the magnetic locating element on the main body, and the magnetic locating element on the extension part form a triangle.

[0012] In an optional embodiment of this application, the main body further includes a handle portion, which protrudes along a third direction onto a first side of the main body.

[0013] In summary, the installation tool provided in this application has at least the following beneficial effects: In this application, the limiting notch on the installation tool provides a positioning and installation area for the RFID chip. Based on the first and second limiting surfaces on the notch, the RFID chip's installation position can be precisely aligned, ensuring positioning accuracy. After the RFID chip is placed in this positioning and installation area, its position can be moved and adjusted along the first and / or second directions based on the positions of the first and second limiting surfaces, until adjacent sides of the RFID chip respectively conform to the first and second limiting surfaces. Compared to manual installation, this reduces errors from manual operation, significantly improving the installation accuracy and efficiency of the RFID chip on the vehicle body. This allows data collection points to accurately acquire and identify vehicle-related information during vehicle production, thereby improving production efficiency. Furthermore, since the installation tool can be detachably connected to the vehicle body, it can be used during RFID chip installation and promptly removed after installation, ensuring convenience and reusability. In addition, the limiting notch on the installation tool can accommodate RFID chips of different sizes, making the installation tool applicable to other vehicle models on the same platform, demonstrating strong scalability and versatility.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the schematic diagram shown, the magnetic attachment 20 on the main body 10 has been removed.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 The installation system provided in this application embodiment includes an installation tool 100, an RFID chip 200, and a vehicle body 300.

[0021] As the core component of the vehicle, the body 300, by installing an RFID chip 200 on the body 300, can achieve vehicle identification (by storing vehicle identification information such as vehicle model, license plate number, and owner information through the RFID chip 200), vehicle security and anti-theft (by establishing a matching relationship between the RFID chip 200 and the card reader inside the vehicle), parking management (by reading the vehicle identification information stored in the RFID chip 200 for identification), intelligent transportation system (by communicating with the RFID chip 200 to achieve traffic flow monitoring, road condition analysis, and intelligent scheduling), and logistics and supply chain management (by recording cargo information, transportation routes, and delivery times through the RFID chip 200).

[0022] The installation tool 100 serves as a tool for installing the RFID chip 200 on the vehicle body 300. Before installing the RFID chip 200, the installation tool 100 can be installed near the installation area of ​​the vehicle body 300 where the RFID chip 200 is to be installed. Then, the installation tool 100 is used to position and install the RFID chip 200 in the installation area. This can significantly improve the installation accuracy and efficiency of the RFID chip 200 on the vehicle body 300, thereby enabling each data collection point to accurately acquire and identify vehicle-related information during the vehicle production process, which helps to improve vehicle production efficiency.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 The vehicle body 300 may include a main body 310 and a side body 320, with the side body 320 formed at the edge of the main body 310. To improve the reliability of the mounting tool 100 being mounted on the vehicle body 300, different parts of the mounting tool 100 may be detachably connected to the main body 310 and the side body 320 of the vehicle body 300, respectively.

[0024] The installation tool 100 provided in this application embodiment is used for installing the RFID chip 200, and the installation tool 100 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body 300. Specifically, the installation tool 100 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body 300 by means of snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, magnetic connection, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0025] Based on the detachable connection between the installation tool 100 and the vehicle body 300, before installing the RFID chip 200, the installation tool 100 is first fixed to the corresponding installation position on the vehicle body 300; after the RFID chip 200 is installed on the vehicle body 300, the installation tool 100 can be removed from the vehicle body 300, thereby completing the installation of the RFID chip 200.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 The installation tool 100 includes a main body 10, which has a limiting notch A. The limiting notch A has a first limiting surface A1 and a second limiting surface A2 that are interconnected. The first limiting surface A1 is used to limit the RFID chip 200 in a first direction L1, and the second limiting surface A2 is used to limit the RFID chip 200 in a second direction L2. Specifically, the limiting notch A is located at the edge of the installation tool 100, and the limiting notch A only has the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2 that are interconnected, while other directions are open. The first direction L1 is perpendicular to the first limiting surface A1, and the second direction L2 is perpendicular to the second limiting surface A2. Thus, by limiting the position of the RFID chip 200 in a specific direction through the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2 of the limiting notch A, while other directions of the limiting notch A are open, the installation tool 100 can be prevented from interfering with the installation of the RFID chip 200, thereby increasing the convenience of installation.

[0027] Specifically, during the installation process using the installation tool 100, the installation tool 100 is first fixed to the corresponding position on the vehicle body 300, and the limiting notch A of the installation tool 100 corresponds to the area on the vehicle body 300 where the RFID chip 200 needs to be installed. Then, at least a portion of the RFID chip 200 is placed in the limiting notch A, and the two adjacent sides of the RFID chip 200 are respectively attached to the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2, thus completing the limiting installation of the RFID chip 200.

[0028] Understandably, the first direction L1 can be the length or width direction of the installation tool 100, and the second direction L2 can be the width or length direction of the installation tool 100. The first direction L1 and the second direction L2 are perpendicular to a third direction L3, which is parallel to the thickness direction of the main body 10 and the thickness direction of the RFID chip 200.

[0029] Therefore, in this application, the limiting notch A on the installation tool 100 can provide a positioning and installation area for the RFID chip 200, and the installation position of the RFID chip 200 can be accurately aligned based on the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2, thereby ensuring positioning accuracy. After the RFID chip 200 is placed in the positioning and installation area, based on the position of the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2, the position of the RFID chip 200 can also be moved and adjusted along the first direction L1 and / or the second direction L2 until the two adjacent sides of the RFID chip 200 respectively fit against the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2. Compared with the manual installation method, this reduces the error of manual operation and significantly improves the installation accuracy and efficiency of the RFID chip 200 on the vehicle body 300. This allows each data collection point to accurately acquire and identify vehicle-related information during vehicle production, thereby helping to improve production efficiency. Furthermore, since the installation tool 100 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body 300, the installation tool 100 can be used when installing the RFID chip 200 and can be promptly removed after installation, ensuring convenience during use. In addition, the limiting notch A on the installation tool 100 can be adapted to RFID chips 200 of different sizes, making the installation tool 100 in this application applicable to other models on the same platform, with strong promotion and versatility.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The installation tool 100 provided in this application embodiment also includes at least one magnetic member 20, each magnetic member 20 being disposed on the main body 10, thereby enabling the main body 10 to be magnetically attached to the vehicle body 300.

[0031] The number of magnetic components 20 can be one or more, and the number of magnetic components 20 can be determined based on the size of the main body 10 and the installation requirements; this application does not impose a specific limitation. Each magnetic component 20 is disposed on the main body 10 and is used to magnetically attach to a corresponding part of the vehicle body 300. Based on the arrangement of the magnetic components 20, different parts of the main body 10 can be magnetically attached to the vehicle body 300 through the corresponding magnetic components 20, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the installation tool 100 and the vehicle body 300 through a magnetic connection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the main body 10 serves as the basic frame of the installation tool 100, supporting and mounting the magnetic attachment 20, which is then magnetically attached to the vehicle body 300. This eliminates the need for additional structures on the vehicle body 300 to cooperate with the installation tool 100, and is applicable to vehicle body surfaces with different structures. Furthermore, the magnetic attachment 20 attaches the main body 10 to the vehicle body 300 without bolts or glue, allowing for reusability and suitability for scenarios requiring frequent disassembly and assembly (such as automotive repair or testing). Additionally, the magnetic attachment 20 can be added or removed as needed based on the structure of the vehicle body 300, increasing installation flexibility and enhancing connection stability.

[0033] Specifically, the magnetic component 20 can be detachably mounted on the main body 10 (such as bolt connection, pin connection, snap connection, etc.) to increase the flexibility during installation; of course, the magnetic component 20 can also be integrated (such as insert molding process) onto the main body 10 to connect with the main body 10 as one unit to achieve modular design, thereby increasing the connection stability after installation. This application does not make specific limitations.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The main body 10 includes a main body portion 11 and an extension portion 12. The main body portion 11 is provided with a limiting notch A and at least one magnetic suction member 20. The extension portion 12 protrudes along a third direction L3 on a first side surface 111 of the main body portion 11. The first side surface 111 is perpendicular to the first limiting surface A1 and the second limiting surface A2. The extension portion 12 is provided with at least one magnetic suction member 20, so that the extension portion 12 can be magnetically attracted to the vehicle body 300.

[0035] During the installation of the installation tool 100 onto the vehicle body 300, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the main body 11 of the main body 10 is provided on the body part 310 facing the vehicle body 300 in the third direction L3 and is magnetically attracted to the body part 310 of the vehicle body 300 by the corresponding magnetic attractor 20. The extension 12 is provided on the side part 320 facing the vehicle body 300 in the second direction L2 and is magnetically attracted to the side part 320 of the vehicle body 300 by the corresponding magnetic attractor 20.

[0036] Therefore, in this embodiment, the magnetic suction element 20 on the main body 11 and the extension 12 can be used for positioning to quickly determine the installation position of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300, thereby ensuring the installation efficiency of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300. Furthermore, since the main body 11 and the extension 12 are magnetically attracted to different parts of the vehicle body 300 by corresponding magnetic suction elements 20, the installation tool 100 is fixed at multiple points, which helps improve the installation reliability of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300. This avoids the impact of the installation tool 100 moving on the RFID chip 200 when the RFID chip 200 is installed into the limiting notch A of the installation tool 100, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and efficiency of the RFID chip 200 on the vehicle body 300.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The main body 11 of the main body 10 has at least one first through hole T1 extending along the third direction L3. A corresponding magnetic attractor 20 is embedded in each first through hole T1, with the magnetic attractor 20 exposed in the main body 11, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0038] Understandably, the term "embedded" in this application refers to the magnetic accumulator 20 being formed with the main body 10 using an insert molding process, so that the magnetic accumulator 20 is fixedly set on the main body 10, that is, the magnetic accumulator 20 and the main body 11 are connected as one unit.

[0039] In this embodiment, the corresponding magnetic suction component 20 is embedded in the first through hole T1 of the main body 11 and exposed in the main body 11. On the one hand, it can maintain the connection strength between the magnetic suction component 20 and the main body 11, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the magnetic suction component 20 can make effective contact with the vehicle body 300, thereby improving the installation reliability of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The extension 12 of the main body 10 is provided with at least one second through hole T2 along the second direction L2. A corresponding magnetic attractor 20 is embedded in each second through hole T2, with the magnetic attractor 20 exposed in the extension 12, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0041] In this embodiment, the corresponding magnetic suction member 20 is embedded in the second through hole T2 of the extension 12 and exposed in the extension 12. On the one hand, the connection strength between the magnetic suction member 20 and the extension 12 can be maintained, and on the other hand, the magnetic suction member 20 can be effectively contacted with the vehicle body 300, thereby improving the installation reliability of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 The main body 10 also includes a limiting part 13, which protrudes along the third direction L3 on the second side 112 opposite to the first side 111 of the main body 11 (that is, the limiting part 13 and the extension part 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body 11), and can cooperate with the process holes on the body 300.

[0043] In this embodiment, the limiting part 13 cooperates with the process holes on the vehicle body 300 to effectively utilize the existing structure on the vehicle body 300 for positioning, which is simple and convenient. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the magnetic suction parts 20 on the main body 11 and the extension part 12 for positioning, thus forming a three-point positioning. This allows for quick and accurate positioning of the RFID chip 200, thereby achieving precise installation of the RFID chip 200. Furthermore, the installation tool 100 is also connected and fixed to the vehicle body 300 at these three points, thereby improving the reliability of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300.

[0044] To prevent the limiting part 13 from loosening and to ensure the reliability of the connection between the limiting part 13 and the process hole on the body 300, the limiting part 13 and the process hole on the body 300 can be fitted with an interference fit. Alternatively, an elastic retaining ring can be provided between the limiting part 13 and the process hole for connection.

[0045] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 13 is misaligned with the magnetic suction member 20 on the main body 11. This misalignment improves the connection stability between the installation tool 100 and the vehicle body 300, while also distributing the force on the vehicle body 300 and preventing localized overload. It should be noted that the phrase "misalignment between the limiting portion 13 and the magnetic suction member 20 on the main body 11" refers to a line connecting the center of the limiting portion 13 and the center of the magnetic suction member 20 on the main body 11 that is not parallel to either the first direction L1 or the second direction L2. In some embodiments, the limiting portion 13 is misaligned with the magnetic suction member 20 on the extension portion 12. This misalignment improves the connection stability between the installation tool 100 and the vehicle body 300, while also distributing the force on the vehicle body 300 and preventing localized overload. It should be noted that the “misalignment of the magnetic member 20 on the limiting part 13 and the extension part 12” mentioned here means that the line connecting the projection of the center of the magnetic member 20 on the second side 112 on the extension part 12 and the projection of the center of the limiting part 13 on the second side 112 is not parallel to the first direction L1 and the second direction L2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 13 may optionally be provided with a magnetic suction member 20, wherein the magnetic suction member 20 on the limiting portion 13, the magnetic suction member 20 on the main body portion 11, and the magnetic suction member 20 on the extension portion 12 form a triangle.

[0047] In this embodiment, by forming a triangle with the magnetic 20 on the limiting part 13, the magnetic 20 on the main body 11, and the magnetic 20 on the extension part 12, three-point positioning can be achieved to precisely limit the installation position of the RFID chip 200, thereby improving positioning accuracy. On the other hand, triangular fixing can be achieved to improve the installation reliability of the installation tool 100 on the vehicle body 300, and the vehicle body 300 can form a support point at the three points, thereby dispersing the force on the vehicle body 300. This can effectively prevent deformation caused by local stress concentration under external force.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 The main body 10 also includes a handle portion 14, which protrudes along the third direction L3 and is disposed on the first side 111 of the main body portion 11.

[0049] The installation tool 100 is lightweight. Based on the handle 14, the main body 10 can be fixed near the installation position of the RFID chip 200 by holding the handle 14 directly. It is convenient to use and helps to improve the installation efficiency of the RFID chip 200.

[0050] In summary, the installation tool 100 of this application has a simple structure, light weight, low processing cost, and strong versatility, and can realize the rapid and accurate installation of RFID chip 200.

[0051] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application.
