In Fig. 1, the length of the first side component is 1000 mm, the first side component side is connected to the surface of the first side 101, and the overall size of the tray is 1200 mm x 1000 mm. In Fig. 2, the length of the second side component is 1100 mm, the second side component side is connected to the surface of the second side 102, and the overall size of the tray is 1100 mm x 1100 mm.

[0025] The center of the tray body 1 is provided with a tracking module mounting position 3, each of the four corners of the tray body 1 is provided with a card type RFID mounting position 4 and a neck type non-slip pad 5, one end of the rounded corner 203 of the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 is provided with a side reserved identification area 6, and the side of the connecting component 204 is provided with a side reserved identification area 6.

[0026] The working principle of the variable-size tray based on the first embodiment is as follows:

[0027] One end of the first unit component 201 is connected to one end of the second unit component 202 through the convex part and the concave part provided thereon, the side of the first side component is connected to the surface of the first side 101 through the convex part and the concave part provided thereon, one end of the connecting component 204 is connected to the convex part of the first unit component 201 through the concave part provided thereon, the other end of the connecting component 204 is connected to the concave part of the second unit component 202 through the convex part provided thereon, and the side of the second side component is connected to the surface of the second side 102 through the convex part and the concave part provided thereon.

[0028] The side component is installed on the side of the tray body 1 to adjust the overall size of the tray, and the length of the side component is adjusted through the connecting component 204, so that the side component can be flexibly arranged on the side of the tray body 1 with different lengths.

[0029] The tracking module mounting position 3 is provided in the center of the tray body 1 and is horizontally mounted, which is more conducive to signal collection of the module, and the card type RFID mounting position 4 is provided at each of the four corners of the tray body 1, which is convenient for RFID signal induction, and the buckle type cover is convenient for flexible installation, so that the goods and the tray are not easy to be damaged and lost during transportation.

[0030] Neck type anti-skid pads 5 are arranged at four corners of the tray body 1 to prevent goods from sliding on the tray, and the neck type anti-skid pads 5 are fixed on the surface of the tray body 1 in a buckle manner to prevent the neck type anti-skid pads 5 from falling off.

[0031] The side member is provided with a side reserved identification area 6 to facilitate the search of goods by workers, and the side reserved identification area 6 is provided with replaceable word blocks to facilitate flexible replacement of the content of the identification area.

[0032] RFID positioning needs to frequently send signals to a specific target through a radio antenna for positioning, and in an environment with dense antenna base stations, the accuracy of regional positioning is high, so that the tracking and positioning of the tray can be realized through RFID signal sensing. The dependence of GPS positioning on ground base stations is very low, and positioning services can still be realized without ground base stations, but the accuracy is not as good as that of RFID positioning.

[0033] RFID positioning relies heavily on ground communication network base stations, that is, ground cellular mobile communication networks. In the absence of antenna base station support, the range of RFID is very limited, and even cannot be used, and the tracking module mounting position 3 needs to use GPS to realize tracking and positioning.

[0034] GPS positioning has high power consumption, and needs a large battery capacity to support long-time satellite signal reception and processing. Bluetooth positioning has low power consumption, and the battery life is long, and can usually work for months or even years, but the accuracy is not as good as that of GPS positioning. Therefore, under the condition of saving power consumption, the tracking module mounting position 3 needs to use Bluetooth to realize tracking and positioning.

[0035] The tracking module mounting position 3 can also use a network card to realize tracking and positioning. Therefore, users can flexibly arrange to use RFID, GPS, Bluetooth, and network cards to realize positioning and tracking according to the antenna base stations, satellite signals, Bluetooth signals, network signals, and battery capacity and power consumption requirements of the environment.

[0036] The above specific embodiments are only several preferred embodiments of the present application, and based on the technical solutions of the present application and the related inspiration of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations on the above specific embodiments.
