Abstract

An electronic tag includes a baseboard, a printed layer, a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, and an adhesive layer. The baseboard includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The printed layer is disposed on the first surface of the baseboard and serves an antenna of the electronic tag. The RFID chip is secured on the baseboard. The adhesive layer is disposed on the second surface of the baseboard and is configured to detachably adhere to an object. The RFID chip and the printed layer are electronically interconnected for cooperatively receiving/transmitting wireless signals.

Claims

1. An electronic tag, comprising:

a baseboard comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, two pads separately formed on the first surface;

a printed layer disposed on the first surface of the baseboard and serving an antenna of the electronic tag, the printed layer defining a first space, a second space, and a connection hole communicating with the first space and the second space, a first connection portion and a second connection portion formed between the first space and the second space, the first connection portion protruding a first connection end, the second connection portion protruding a second connection end;

a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip secured on the baseboard; and

an adhesive layer disposed on the second surface of the baseboard and configured to detachably adhere to an object;

wherein the RFID chip and the printed layer are electronically interconnected for cooperatively receiving/transmitting wireless signals, the RFID chip is diagonally and electronically coupled to the first connection end and the second connection end to couple to the printed layer, and is diagonally welded on the two pads to couple to the baseboard.

2. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the RFID chip passes through the connection hole and is connected to the two pads.

3. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 1, wherein the printed layer comprises a first edge and a second edge perpendicularly connected to the first edge, both the first space and the second space are parallel to the first edge, and the connection hole extends parallel to the second edge.

4. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first connection portion and the second connection portion are also separated by the connection hole.

5. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first connection end is extending towards the connection hole, and the second connection end is extending towards the connection hole.

6. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a marking layer, wherein the marking layer is disposed on the printed layer opposite to the baseboard to shield the printed layer and the RFID chip.

7. An electronic tag detachably attached to an object, the electronic tag comprising:

a baseboard comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, two pads separately formed on the first surface;

a printed layer disposed on the first surface, the printed layer defining a first space, and a second space, and a connection hole communicating with the first space and the second space; and

a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip passing through the connection hole and secured on the baseboard; and

an adhesive layer disposed on the second surface of the baseboard and configured to detachably adhere to the object;

wherein the printed layer forms a first connection portion and a second connection portion disposed between the first space and the second space, the first connection portion protrudes a first connection end, the second connection portion protrudes a second connection end, and the RFID chip is diagonally and electronically coupled to the first connection end and the second connection end to couple to the printed layer, and is diagonally welded on the two pads to couple to the baseboard.

8. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 7, wherein the printed layer comprises a first edge and a second edge perpendicularly connected to the first edge, both the first space and the second space are parallel to the first edge, and the connection hole extends parallel to the second edge.

9. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first connection portion and the second connection portion are separated by the connection hole.

10. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first connection end is extending towards the connection hole, and the second connection end is extending towards the connection hole.

11. The electronic tag as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a marking layer, wherein the marking layer is disposed on the printed layer opposite to the baseboard to shield the printed layer and the RFID chip.

12. An electronic tag comprising:

a baseboard having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, two pads separately formed on the first surface;

a print layer positioned on the first surface of the baseboard, the printed layer defining an “

H”

shaped space, the printed layer defining a first space, a second space, and a connection hole communicating with the first space and the second space, a first connection portion and a second connection portion formed between the first space and the second space, the first connection portion protruding a first connection end, the second connection portion protruding a second connection end;

a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip secured to the first surface and positioned within the defined H-shaped space of the print layer; and

an adhesive layer positioned on a portion of the second surface;

wherein, the printed layer is configured to act as an antenna for the RFID chip and the printed layer is electronically connected to the RFID chip to cooperatively receive and transmit wireless signals, the RFID chip is diagonally and electronically coupled to the first connection end and the second connection end to couple to the printed layer, and is diagonally welded on the two pads to couple to the baseboard; and

wherein, the adhesive layer is configured to selectively attach the tag to an object.
