Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RFID tag installation technology, and in particular to an RFID tag installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] The methods for uploading product information have diversified in today's society, with one of the mainstream methods being the integration of RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) into products. RFID tags are passive, compact, inexpensive, and easy to use, enabling stable information uploading and location tracking in varying environments, thus finding widespread application in numerous fields. Especially in assembly line and other vehicle-based applications, RFID technology provides an effective solution for automatic information collection and location tracking.

[0003] However, despite the relatively mature nature of RFID technology itself, its installation methods on carriers still have certain limitations. Current technologies often embed RFID tags directly into the positioning slots of the carrier. This structure lacks external protection, making the tags susceptible to damage from mechanical impacts, wear, or environmental factors, resulting in a shortened lifespan. Furthermore, this installation method often suffers from poor interchangeability, with cumbersome disassembly and replacement processes, hindering maintenance and upgrades, and limiting the widespread application of RFID tags in high-speed, high-frequency industrial environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an RFID tag installation structure to solve the problems of RFID tags being easily damaged, having poor interchangeability, and being inconvenient to install and remove due to lack of effective protection in the prior art, thereby improving the service life, maintenance efficiency, and application scope of RFID tags in industrial environments.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An RFID tag mounting structure is provided for mounting RFID tags on a carrier. The RFID tag mounting structure includes a mounting block and fasteners. The mounting block has mounting through holes extending through both ends of the mounting through holes. The wall of the mounting through holes has an inwardly protruding limiting portion at the end away from the carrier. The limiting portion abuts against the edge of the RFID tag. The mounting block also has a positioning portion protruding on the end face near the carrier. The carrier has a corresponding positioning groove. The positioning portion and the positioning groove are inserted and engaged to achieve the pre-positioning of the mounting block on the carrier. The fasteners pass through the mounting block and are fixedly connected to the carrier to press and fix the mounting block to the surface of the carrier.

[0007] As an optional RFID tag mounting structure, the limiting part has a ring-shaped structure, with its outer ring connected to the wall of the mounting through hole, and its inner ring diameter being 8-10mm.

[0008] As an alternative to the RFID tag mounting structure, the limiting part is flush with the end face of the mounting block opposite to the end face of the carrier.

[0009] As an optional solution for RFID tag mounting structure, the wall of the mounting through hole and the outer peripheral wall of the RFID tag are in a transition fit.

[0010] As an alternative RFID tag mounting structure, along the axial direction of the mounting through hole, the distance between the limiting part near the end face of the carrier and the positioning part near the end face of the carrier is equal to the height of the RFID tag.

[0011] As an alternative to the RFID tag mounting structure, there are two positioning parts, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting through hole.

[0012] As an optional solution for RFID tag mounting structure, the mounting block also has two connection holes, with the mounting through hole located between the two connection holes. The two fasteners pass through the corresponding connection holes and are threadedly connected to the carrier.

[0028] This embodiment provides an RFID tag mounting structure for mounting an RFID tag 100 onto a carrier 200, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the RFID tag mounting structure includes a mounting block 1 and fasteners. The mounting block 1 has mounting through holes 11 extending through both ends of its end face. The wall of the mounting through hole 11 has an inwardly protruding limiting part 12 at the end away from the carrier 200. The limiting part 12 abuts against the edge of the RFID tag 100. The mounting block 1 also has a positioning part 13 protruding on the end face near the carrier 200. The carrier 200 has a corresponding positioning groove 201. The positioning part 13 and the positioning groove 201 are inserted and engaged to achieve the pre-positioning of the mounting block 1 on the carrier 200. The fasteners pass through the mounting block 1 and are fixedly connected to the carrier 200 to press and fix the mounting block 1 to the surface of the carrier 200.

[0029] The RFID tag mounting structure, through the coordinated operation of mounting block 1 and fasteners, significantly improves the practicality, reliability, and service life of RFID tag 100 in industrial environments. This structure provides comprehensive and effective physical protection for the RFID tag 100, preventing it from being directly exposed to the outside world and suffering from collisions, wear, or contamination, thus ensuring the stability of the RFID tag 100 under complex working conditions. Simultaneously, the precise insertion of the positioning part 13 into the positioning slot 201 of the carrier 200, and the radial constraint of the limiting part 12 within the mounting through hole 11, enables rapid and accurate positioning and secure installation of the RFID tag 100 on the carrier 200. This avoids reading failures caused by displacement or detachment of the RFID tag 100, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of radio frequency signal transmission and information identification. Furthermore, this mounting structure enables modular packaging and standardized assembly and disassembly of the RFID tag 100, greatly improving the convenience of maintenance operations and the interchangeability between different RFID tags 100. It integrates protection, positioning, and fixing functions at a low cost with almost no increase in structural burden.

[0030] In this embodiment, the RFID tag 100 is button-shaped, and the corresponding mounting hole 11 is a circular hole; in other embodiments, the RFID tag 100 is card-shaped, and the corresponding mounting hole 11 is a rectangular hole. The shape of the mounting hole 11 is adapted to the shape of the RFID tag 100, and the shape of the mounting hole 11 is not specifically limited here.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the limiting part 12 has a ring-shaped structure, with its outer ring connected to the wall of the mounting through hole 11, and its inner ring diameter being 8-10mm. The limiting part 12 surrounds the mounting through hole 11, forming a uniform, encircling limit on the outer periphery of the RFID tag 100. This effectively prevents the RFID tag 100 from tilting or shaking, ensuring that the RFID tag 100 and the identification device (reader) always maintain the optimal relative position, thereby guaranteeing stable radio frequency signal transmission and interference-free reading and identification. Limiting its diameter to 8-10mm ensures that the limiting part 12 has sufficient structural strength to prevent damage, while also providing reasonable installation space for the RFID tag 100. This avoids excessive metal contact with the RFID tag 100 antenna, which could affect its resonance characteristics, resulting in a compact and versatile overall structure while ensuring effective RFID signal transmission and identification performance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the end face of the limiting part 12 facing away from the carrier 200 is flush with the end face of the mounting block 1 facing away from the carrier 200. This flush design ensures that the mounting surface of the mounting block 1 on the carrier 200 forms a complete and continuous plane, avoiding the additional structural height or unevenness problems that may occur due to the protrusion of the limiting part 12. This not only makes the overall structure more compact and reduces the overall installation space requirement, making it easier to use in space-constrained situations, but also effectively prevents the end face from hooking, interfering, or accumulating debris during operation due to height differences, improving the cleanliness and operational safety of the equipment. At the same time, the flat end face also facilitates possible subsequent stacking, installation, or other operations, enhancing the practicality and adaptability of the mounting structure.

[0033] In this embodiment, the wall of the mounting through hole 11 and the outer peripheral wall of the RFID tag 100 are in a transition fit. This design allows the RFID tag 100 to be stably held within the mounting through hole 11 without the aid of additional fasteners. This ensures smooth installation and effectively prevents the RFID tag 100 from loosening or rotating within the hole, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the relative position between the RFID tag 100 and the identification device, and significantly improving the reliability of signal reading.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, along the axial direction of the mounting through-hole 11, the distance between the limiting part 12 near the end face of the carrier 200 and the positioning part 13 near the end face of the carrier 200 is equal to the height of the RFID tag 100. This dimensional design enables precise axial clamping of the RFID tag 100, ensuring that the RFID tag 100 is firmly confined within the mounting through-hole 11, preventing it from moving upwards out of the limiting position or loosening or shifting axially. This tight constraint effectively avoids radio frequency signal attenuation or reading failure caused by changes in the position of the RFID tag 100, significantly improving the reliability and stability of the RFID system.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two positioning parts 13, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting through hole 11. This structure can apply a balanced limiting effect to the mounting block 1 from both sides simultaneously, effectively preventing the mounting block 1 from rotating or shifting on the carrier 200, and ensuring its accurate and stable installation position. The symmetrical layout makes the mounting block 1 evenly stressed, avoiding the structural stress concentration or wear problems that may be caused by unilateral stress, improving the overall rigidity and durability of the installation structure, and also simplifying the installation process to achieve quick and accurate alignment and fixation.

[0036] like Figures 1-3As shown, the mounting block 1 also has two connecting holes 14, and a mounting through hole 11 is located between the two connecting holes 14. Two fasteners pass through the corresponding connecting holes 14 and are threadedly connected to the carrier 200. The layout of the two connecting holes 14 and the mounting through hole 11 in between, along with the symmetrical fastening with two fasteners, ensures that the mounting block 1 is smoothly and evenly pressed against the surface of the carrier 200, effectively preventing warping or loosening that may occur due to single-point fixing. The symmetrical distribution of the two fasteners effectively enhances the rigidity and stability of the connection between the mounting block 1 and the carrier 200, preventing displacement under vibration or impact. It also effectively disperses mechanical stress at the interface, improving the reliability and service life of the overall structure, and helps maintain the long-term consistency of the relative position between the RFID tag 100 and the identification device, ensuring stable signal reading.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting hole 14 is a countersunk hole, in which the head of the fastener is accommodated, and the shank of the fastener passes through the connecting hole 14 and is threadedly connected to the carrier 200. This countersunk structure ensures that the fastener head is completely embedded inside the mounting block 1 and does not protrude from the surface of the mounting block 1, thereby maintaining the flatness of the back of the mounting block 1, avoiding interference with other components during installation, and improving the neatness of the appearance. At the same time, the countersunk hole helps to guide the fastener for centering, making installation easier to align, and ensuring that the fastening force acts perpendicularly on the surface of the carrier 200, improving the controllability and sealing of the connection, and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting block 1 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has a low density, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the mounting structure, facilitating handling and assembly. Simultaneously, it possesses sufficient mechanical strength and hardness, ensuring that the mounting block 1 is not easily deformed or damaged under fastening stress and long-term use, exhibiting good durability. Furthermore, aluminum alloy is easy to process and form, suitable for manufacturing complex structural parts, which helps control production costs. Specifically, the mounting block 1 is made of AL6061 aluminum alloy, which is sturdy and durable, and does not affect the sensor's identification of the carrier 200 information.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the edges of mounting block 1 are rounded, a design that eliminates sharp edges, significantly improving safety during operation and installation, and effectively preventing scratches to personnel or damage to surrounding components. The rounded corners also reduce stress concentration, enhancing the fatigue resistance and overall durability of mounting block 1 under load, while also resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance, meeting the human-centered and reliability requirements of industrial design.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
