Description

Wireless radio frequency identification drop

Technical Field

The invention relates to a tag, in particular to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

Background

Generally, in addition to the introduction of the paper or electronic catalog, most of the products on the market today are accompanied by simple text descriptions on their packaging or appearance to facilitate the user's reference and understanding of the features of the product.

However, when the user purchases the product, the packaging material originally covering the product is mostly discarded directly, so that the user cannot know the related information of the product again from the packaging material. To solve this problem, most products with complex structure or outstanding functionality will be attached with paper specification for users to store and look up. However, most users are not easy to properly store the paper specification, and the paper specification cannot be found when the product information needs to be searched in the future.

With the development and progress of electronic technology, some products use electronic tags to allow users to query the relevant information of the products. The common electronic tags include one-dimensional bar codes, two-dimensional bar codes and rfid tags, wherein the one-dimensional bar codes and the two-dimensional bar codes are limited in application range and are easily worn out and cannot be read. The RFID tag can identify the RFID tag and read and write the related information of the product through the radio signal, and the radio signal transmits the product information from the label attached to the product through the modulated electromagnetic field, so as to automatically identify and acquire the related information of the article.

At present, a radio frequency identification tag has a plastic housing and a detachable metal chain, wherein a radio frequency identification antenna is disposed in the plastic housing, and the plastic housing has a closed ring structure, such that one end of the metal chain can pass through the plastic housing and then be connected with the other end of the metal chain to form an annular metal chain ring. The metal chain ring connected with the plastic shell can be sleeved or arranged at a specific part of the product according to requirements. Therefore, the user can simply acquire the relevant information of the product by the RFID tag.

Although the rfid tag can effectively solve the above problems, the conventional rfid tag is easily broken by an external force, so that the rfid tag falls off or is lost. Therefore, there is still a need for solutions to existing rfid tags.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a rfid tag, which is connected to a rfid tag and a steel cable of a product at two ends thereof, so as to prevent the rfid tag from falling off or losing the product due to being pulled by an external force, thereby improving the problem of the conventional rfid tag.

The present invention provides a radio frequency identification tag, which comprises a metal plate and a steel cable, wherein the metal plate comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the metal plate has at least one punching lug protruding from the second surface toward the first surface and protruding from the first surface, and the at least one punching lug and the first surface form a channel; and the steel cable penetrates through the channel, and the at least one punching lug and the first surface clamp the steel cable together so that a part of the steel cable is bent from the first surface to the second surface.

The invention has the advantages that the two ends of the wire rope are respectively fixedly connected with the radio frequency identification tag and the product, so that the radio frequency identification tag is prevented from falling off or losing from the product due to the pulling of an external force, and the aim of improving the problems of the traditional radio frequency identification tag is fulfilled. Therefore, the producer can easily and stably connect the RFID tag with the product, and the user can obtain the related information of the product by using the RFID reader.
