  • the PCB 111 may be seated in the lower case 123 such that the battery 113 disposed on one surface of the PCB 111 is disposed on top.
  • the tag body 110 may be guided by the guide protrusion 320 of the lower case 123, and thus be combined with the space portion 310 by fitting in the space portion 310.
  • the upper case 121 may be combined on the lower case 123 in which the tag body 110 is seated by being fastened to or engaged with the lower case 123.
  • the stepped fastening protrusion 220 of the upper case 121 may be combined with the lower case 123 through forced fastening.
  • the tag 100 may be assembled thereby as described above. When the tag 100 assembled as described above is attached to a wet object such as a toilet, it may be attached to such an object with tag 100 being covered with the waterproof cap 400.
  • the sensor extension 510 may be formed on one side of the tag body 110 by extending long therefrom to expand a tag touch sensing range, or an object contact sensing range.
  • One end of the sensor extension 510 may be connected to the PCB 111 of the tag body 110 and, at the same time, be exposed to the outside of the case 120 to extend in the form of an FPCB.
  • the tag 100 may be produced to have various shapes according to a size or shape of the object.
  • a tag structure attachable to a thing or an object may be attached to a surface of any object, for example, a doorknob, a fridge handle, a toilet seat, or the like.
  • the tag structure may expand an object contact sensing range of sensing a contact of a user with an object, and a ground range, and may include a case that is easily disassembled and thus allow the user to readily replace a battery in the case.
