Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of turnover box technology, specifically relating to a turnover box based on RFID tags. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of picking e-cigarettes, a large number of turnover boxes are used to move the e-cigarettes that need to be picked. In order to facilitate the identification and tracking of the items in the turnover boxes and ensure the accuracy of picking each turnover box, labels are usually used to identify the turnover boxes.

[0003] Traditional labels, including paper picking slips or turnover box ID codes, suffer from drawbacks such as easy loss, damage, and cumbersome verification. Therefore, RFID tags, with their advantages of being waterproof, anti-magnetic, heat-resistant, and long-lasting, have become the mainstream labels for turnover boxes. However, existing RFID tags are typically installed on the turnover box surface using bolts or adhesive. During the stacking and handling of turnover boxes, the RFID tags are easily scratched, worn, or detached, affecting tag reading performance. Therefore, a turnover box structure with better RFID tag fixing is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a turnover box based on RFID tags.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An RFID tag-based turnover box includes:

[0007] The outer surface of the box is recessed inward along the thickness of the box wall to form an RFID tag placement slot;

[0008] An RFID tag is fixed in the RFID tag placement slot by a limiting component;

[0009] The limiting member includes a pressure plate that snaps onto the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot. The pressure plate includes a mounting part, a deformable transition connection part, and an extension part. Through the deformation of the transition connection part, the extension part extends obliquely within the RFID tag placement slot to form a conical cavity for defining the RFID tag. The tip of the conical cavity faces the opening of the RFID tag placement slot.

[0010] Preferably, the RFID tag placement slot has a slot on its sidewall that allows at least partial insertion of the mounting portion. The mounting portion includes a base plate and a resilient latch, which is configured to allow the mounting portion to enter the slot and prevent the mounting portion from exiting the slot.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic buckle extends warpedly from the mounting portion to the transition connection portion, and the substrate has a through hole capable of receiving the elastic buckle.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting member further includes a flexible pad fixed inside the RFID tag placement slot, and the RFID tag is limited between the pressure plate and the flexible pad.

[0013] Preferably, the RFID tag has a connecting plate on its back that is bonded and fixed to the flexible pad.

[0014] Preferably, the flexible pad has a first wavy surface, the connecting plate has a second wavy surface that matches the first wavy surface, the connecting plate is bonded and fixed to the flexible pad, and the second wavy surface engages with and abuts against the first wavy surface.

[0015] Preferably, both the first wave surface and the second wave surface have multiple corrugated protrusions distributed in parallel, and the density of the multiple corrugated protrusions gradually decreases from the center of the surface to the edge of the surface.

[0016] Preferably, the outer surface of the box is provided with a protective groove that fits into the opening of the RFID tag placement slot. The projection of the protective groove on the surface of the box covers the projection of the RFID tag placement slot, and a protective plate covering the RFID tag is provided inside the protective groove.

[0017] Preferably, the back of the protective plate is fixed with a sealing ring that can at least partially engage with the RFID tag placement slot.

[0018] Preferably, the sealing ring engages between the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot and the extension, and a limiting inclined surface adapted to abut against the extension is formed on the side wall of the sealing ring. The transition connection is configured such that the extension deforms when the abutting force of the limiting inclined surface exceeds a threshold.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] (1) In this utility model, the RFID tag is embedded and fixed in the RFID tag placement slot by the limiting component, thereby avoiding the RFID tag being scratched by the box body or the outside during the turnover and transportation process, thus preventing the RFID tag from falling off and playing the role of protecting the RFID tag.

[0021] (2) In this utility model, the limiting component fixes the RFID tag by bonding and fixing the flexible pad inside the groove and blocking and limiting the pressure plate at the groove opening, which has the advantages of simple structure and stable fixation.

[0022] (3) In this utility model, the pressure plate includes an installation part, a deformable transition connection part and an extension part, thereby ensuring that the pressure plate can deform and block after the RFID tag is bonded, thus making the installation of the pressure plate and the RFID tag more convenient.

[0023] (4) In this utility model, the bonding surface between the flexible pad and the RFID tag presents a wave-shaped structure, and the density of the wavy protrusions on the wave surface gradually decreases from the center of the surface to the edge of the surface, thereby improving the bonding stability by increasing the contact area through adaptability.

[0024] (5) In this utility model, a protective plate is provided to further protect the RFID tag, and a sealing ring is provided on the protective plate to drive the pressure plate to deform, thereby further improving the convenience of the overall structure installation.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a turnover box based on RFID tags, including a box body 1. Specifically, the box body 1 has an open top and four enclosing side panels and a bottom plate. Both the side panels and the bottom plate can serve as mounting bases for the RFID tags 2. In this embodiment, it is preferred to mount the RFID tags 2 on the bottom plate, that is, the RFID tags 2 are positioned at the bottom of the overall box body 1. Of course, the same structure can also be used to mount the RFID tags 2 on the four side panels.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, an RFID tag placement groove 11 is formed by recessing inward along the thickness direction of the outer surface of the box 1. Specifically, the depth of the RFID tag placement groove 11 should be less than the thickness of the bottom plate (or side plate) of the box 1, and should also be greater than the thickness of the RFID tag 2, so that the RFID tag 2 can be hiddenly embedded in the RFID tag placement groove 11. It should also be noted that the RFID tag placement groove 11 is provided through the outer side of the box 1, that is, the RFID tag 2 is installed into the RFID tag placement groove 11 from the outside of the box 1.

[0040] Regarding the RFID tag placement slot 11, there are three configuration methods: the first is to form the RFID tag placement slot 11 by high-frequency hot pressing; the second is to form the RFID tag placement slot 11 by mold hot melting and hot pressing; the third is to process the RFID tag placement slot 11 by carving a groove on the surface of the housing 1. The specific forming method is not specifically limited in this embodiment. (Combined with...) Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the RFID tag placement slot 11 formed in this embodiment is rectangular, and transition arc corners are provided at the four corners of the rectangle.

[0041] Regarding the fixing of the RFID tag 2 within the RFID tag placement slot 11, in this specific example of Embodiment 1, the RFID tag placement slot 11 is fixed with the following... Figure 6 The flexible pad 4 shown is used to adhere and fix the RFID tag 2 to the surface of the flexible pad 4. Specifically, the flexible pad 4 can be integrally formed in the RFID tag placement slot 11 or can be heat-fused and fixed in the RFID tag placement slot 11. It is preferably made of elastic metal plate, plastic plate, rubber plate, etc., which can provide flexible buffer support for the RFID tag 2 during turnover and avoid the collision and vibration of the box 1 from adversely affecting the fixed connection of the RFID tag 2.

[0042] In this example, the back of the RFID tag 2 is provided with a connecting plate 5 that is bonded and fixed to the flexible pad 4. The surface of the flexible pad 4 has a first wavy surface, and the surface of the connecting plate 5 has a second wavy surface that matches the first wavy surface. The connecting plate 5 is bonded and fixed to the flexible pad 4, with the second wavy surface interlocking with the first wavy surface. This increases the contact area between the RFID tag 2 and the flexible pad 4, thereby improving the bonding stability. It is worth noting that both the first and second wavy surfaces have multiple parallel corrugated protrusions 6. The density of the multiple corrugated protrusions 6 gradually decreases from the center of the surface to the edge, thereby ensuring that the center of the RFID tag 2 can achieve highly stable bonding and fixation.

[0043] In summary, during use, the thinner RFID tag 2 is attached to the flexible pad 4 inside the RFID tag placement slot 11 by adhesive, ensuring that the RFID tag 2 is fixed and stable; the electronic cigarette sorting information corresponding to the box 1 is recorded into the RFID tag 2 by the reading and writing device, which has good repeatability. At the same time, the RFID tag 2 is hidden inside the RFID tag placement slot 11, thus having good protective performance.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a turnover box based on RFID tags, including a box body 1. Specifically, the box body 1 has an open top and four enclosing side panels and a bottom plate. Both the side panels and the bottom plate can serve as mounting bases for the RFID tags 2. In this embodiment, it is preferred to mount the RFID tags 2 on the bottom plate, that is, the RFID tags 2 are positioned at the bottom of the overall box body 1. Of course, the same structure can also be used to mount the RFID tags 2 on the four side panels.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 9 As shown, Embodiment 2 further improves the protection effect of RFID tag 2 based on Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, pressure plates 3 are snapped onto the four side walls of the RFID tag placement slot 11. The pressure plates 3 include a mounting part 31, a deformable transition connection part 32, and an extension part 33. Specifically, the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot 11 is provided with a slot that can at least partially insert the mounting part 31. The pressure plates 3 in the initial state are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the L-shaped structure, in this state, after the mounting part 31 is inserted into the slot, the extension part 33 is parallel to or inclined towards the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot 11, so that the RFID tag 2 can still be placed into the RFID tag placement slot 11 from between the extension parts 33 around the perimeter, ensuring that the RFID tag 2 is smoothly bonded and fixed to the flexible pad 4.

[0047] For example, after fixing the pressure plate 3 to the four sides of the RFID tag placement slot 11 by inserting the mounting part 31 into the slot, the RFID tag 2 is glued and fixed to the flexible pad 4. At this time, the RFID tag 2 is located between the four pressure plates 3. Then, the extension part 33 is bent with a wrench or other tool, thereby deforming the transition connection part 32, and the extension part 33 tilts towards the center of the RFID tag placement slot 11 and according to... Figure 9The RFID tag 2 is abutted against the front edge of the RFID tag 2 in the manner shown. Based on this, the surrounding pressure plate 3 limits the RFID tag placement slot 11 to form a conical cavity for limiting the RFID tag 2. The tip of the conical cavity faces the opening of the RFID tag placement slot 11, thereby effectively preventing the RFID tag 2 from falling out of the RFID tag placement slot 11.

[0048] It is worth noting that the mounting part 31 includes a base plate 311 and an elastic buckle 312. The elastic buckle 312 extends warpedly from the mounting part 31 to the transition connection part 32. The base plate 311 is provided with a through hole 313 that can accommodate the elastic buckle 312. The integral pressure plate 3 is integrally formed from a flexible metal plate or plastic plate. When the mounting part 31 is inserted into the slot, the elastic buckle 312 is deformed and retracted into the through hole 313 by the pressure of the slot opening. When the mounting part 31 is fully inserted into the slot, the elastic buckle 312 pops out under its own deformation, thereby forming a barb structure in the slot. Based on this barb structure, the mounting part 31 is prevented from exiting the slot, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the pressure plate 3 itself and the pressure plate 3 on the RFID tag 2.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a turnover box based on RFID tags, including a box body 1. Specifically, the box body 1 has an open top and four enclosing side panels and a bottom plate. Both the side panels and the bottom plate can serve as mounting bases for the RFID tags 2. In this embodiment, it is preferred to mount the RFID tags 2 on the bottom plate, that is, the RFID tags 2 are positioned at the bottom of the overall box body 1. Of course, the same structure can also be used to mount the RFID tags 2 on the four side panels.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 10 As shown, Embodiment 3 further improves the protection effect of RFID tag 2 based on Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, a protective groove 7 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 1 to fit the opening of the RFID tag placement slot 11. The projection of the protective groove 7 on the surface of the housing 1 covers the projection of the RFID tag placement slot 11. A protective plate 71 covering the RFID tag 2 is provided inside the protective groove 7. Specifically, the protective plate 71 is a transparent plate, thereby further improving the protection effect while ensuring the effective display of the RFID tag 2 and preventing damage to the RFID tag 2.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 72 is fixed on the back of the protective plate 71, which can at least partially fit into the RFID tag placement slot 11, thereby improving the sealing effect between the protective plate 71 and the RFID tag placement slot 11 and preventing external moisture or dust from entering the RFID tag placement slot 11 and affecting the adhesion or read / write performance of the RFID tag 2.

[0053] It is worth noting that when the sealing ring 72 is inserted into the RFID tag placement slot 11, the sealing ring 72 engages between the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot 11 and the extension 33, and a limiting inclined surface 73 adapted to abut against the extension 33 is formed on the side wall of the sealing ring 72. In this embodiment, the transition connection portion 32 is configured to deform when the extension 33 is subjected to abutment force from the limiting inclined surface 73 exceeding a threshold.

[0054] For example, after fixing the pressure plate 3 to the four sides of the RFID tag placement slot 11 by inserting the mounting part 31 into the slot, the RFID tag 2 is glued and fixed to the flexible pad 4, at which time the RFID tag 2 is located between the four pressure plates 3; then, the sealing ring 72 on the protective plate 71 is aligned and inserted between the side wall of the RFID tag placement slot 11 and the extension 33, ensuring that the limiting slope 73 on the sealing ring 72 abuts against the extension 33. During this process, by pushing the protective plate 71 into the protective slot 7, the sealing ring 72 generates a pushing force on the extension 33 through the limiting slope 73. When this pushing force can cause the transition connection part 32 to deform, the extension 33 tilts towards the center of the RFID tag placement slot 11 based on the deformation of the transition connection part 32, and according to Figure 10 The protective plate 71 is pressed against the front edge of the RFID tag 2 as shown until it is completely pressed into the protective groove 7; the protective plate 71 is fixed in the protective groove 7 by adhesive or other fixing methods suitable for the material of the box 1.

[0055] In summary, the multiple layers of protection formed by the protective plate 71, the blocking and restriction of the surrounding pressure plates 3, and the bonding and fixing of the flexible pad 4 effectively prevent the RFID tag 2 from falling out of the RFID tag placement slot 11.
