The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an Internet of Things (IoT) item finding device includes a main body 10 and a cover 20. The cover 20 is connected to the main body 10. Both the main body 10 and the cover 20 are transparent shells. The main body 10 houses a motherboard 1, a battery module 2, and an audio-visual component 3. The audio-visual component 3 is used for multimodal assistance to remind users to find items conveniently. The main body 10 is provided with a bracket 11 and a positioning mechanism 12. Both the bracket 11 and the positioning mechanism 12 are located inside the main body 10. The bracket 11 is used to install and fix the motherboard 1, and the positioning mechanism 12 is used for quick installation and removal of the battery module 2.

[0027] In one implementation, the sound and light component 3 includes a buzzer 31 and an LED module 32, both of which are connected to the motherboard 1.

[0028] In one embodiment, the positioning mechanism 12 includes a pad ring 121 and several limiting claws 122. The several limiting claws 122 are symmetrically distributed around the pad ring 121. The pad ring 121 is used to support the battery module 2, and the limiting claws 122 are used to elastically limit the connection of the battery module 2. The pad ring 121 and the several limiting claws 122 facilitate manual replacement of the supporting battery pressing limiting claws 122, and the device binding status is not affected during maintenance.

[0029] In one embodiment, a hanging rope component 4 is also installed on the main body 10. The hanging rope component 4 includes a connector 41 and a rope body 42, and the rope body 42 is connected to the main body 10 through the connector 41.

[0030] In one embodiment, a slot 13 is fixedly provided on the side of the main body 10 near the pad ring 121, and a through hole 24 is provided on the side wall of the cover 20 near the slot 13. The slot 13 and the through hole 24 are used to fit the hanging rope 4.

[0031] In one implementation, the slot 13 is used to insert the connector 41, and the through hole 24 is used to lead out the rope 42 when the cover 20 is closed.

[0032] In one implementation, the through-hole 24 is an inverted U-shaped opening structure, which facilitates the rope 42 to be led out, and there is also a sufficient gap between the rope 42 and the through-hole 24.

[0033] In one implementation, when the cover 20 and the body 10 are closed, the connector 41 is confined within the slot 13, thereby enabling the rope 42 to be used in conjunction with the connector (fixing clip) to physically connect with the package to be found.

[0034] In one embodiment, the same side wall of the body 10 and the cover 20 is provided with a snap-fit ​​assembly for mutual adaptation.

[0035] In one embodiment, the main body 10 has a cover 20 with a query panel 21. The cover 20 has a speaker hole 22 and a light-transmitting opening 23. The speaker hole 22 is located directly above the buzzer 31, and the light-transmitting opening 23 is located directly above the LED module 32. The speaker hole 22 is used to emit sound to prompt the user to quickly find the item.

[0036] In one implementation, the motherboard 1 is equipped with a main control module and a communication module. The communication module receives real-time signals from the query terminal and feeds them back to the main control module to respond with sound and light prompts.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This IoT item finding device is equipped at a storage site to correspond one-to-one with the items stored at the storage site and communicates with the storage site's query host. The device is tied to the goods via rope 42 or connector (fixing clip), without the need for power wiring or network debugging. The battery module 2 is locked and powered by the limiting claw 122. The main board is connected to the IoT query system through the communication module. When an item command is triggered: the user enters the item code at the query terminal, and the command is sent to the device's communication module via the wireless network. The main control module parses the command and activates the sound and light components 3 for multimodal feedback positioning. The sound is emitted by the buzzer 31 and diffused through the speaker hole 22, and the light is emitted by the LED module 32 and transmitted brightly through the light-transmitting port 23. The sound and light work together to guide the personnel to quickly locate the item. When the item's location changes, the device moves with the item without any wiring adjustments or parameter resets. When the battery is depleted, it can be replaced by manually pressing the battery module 2 to release the limiting claw 122, maintaining the device's binding state.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the bottom wall of the main body 10 is provided with a bonding area 14 for easy bonding of the item to be found. The bonding area 14 is a magnetic sticker, which facilitates the physical connection of this Internet of Things item finding device with the metal item to be found.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the bottom wall of the body 10 is provided with a bonding area 14 for easy bonding of the item to be found. The bonding area 14 is an adhesive sticker, which facilitates the physical connection of this Internet of Things item finding device with the item to be found on a smooth, clean, non-porous surface.

[0042] It should be noted that while the preferred embodiments of this utility model are provided in the specification and accompanying drawings, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. These embodiments are not intended to impose additional limitations on the content of this utility model; their purpose is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
