Abstract

A connecting component with built-in radio frequency identification element which includes a main body and a radio frequency identification element is provided. The main body has a cylindrical body part and a head, wherein the body part has a connecting end and a free end; the head is connected to the connecting end, and the maximum outer diameter thereof is greater than an outer diameter of the body part; the head has an accommodating hole, and an opening of the accommodating hole is formed at a top of the head; the radio frequency identification element can be inserted into the accommodating hole. When the connecting component is used to fixedly connect the rigid object, the radio frequency electronic component provides a space to store database; with the radio frequency identification reader, industry can read the data at any time during the inspection or the maintenance stages, which improves the convenience of obtaining data and the efficiency of operation.

Claims (9)

1. A connecting component with built-in radio frequency identification element, which is provided to be connected to at least one object, wherein the object has a perforation; the connecting component comprising:

a main body which is made of metal and has a cylindrical body part and a head, wherein the body part has a connecting end and a free end; the head is connected to the connecting end, and the maximum outer diameter thereof is greater than an outer diameter of the body part; the head has an accommodating hole, and an opening of the accommodating hole is formed at a top of the head; and

a radio frequency identification element which comprises a plastic carrier and a radio frequency electronic component which is entirely embedded into the plastic carrier, wherein the plastic carrier is inserted into the accommodating hole; and

wherein the body part of the connecting component can pass through the perforation of the object, which makes the free end protrude from the perforation; and

wherein the free end which is exposed is punchable by a punching device; when the free end is punched, the free end is formed into an enlarged part with a larger outer diameter than outer diameters of the other parts of the body part by material extrusion, and the enlarged part and the head are respectively located at two ends of the perforation of the object.

2. The connecting component of claim 1 , wherein the accommodating hole has a hole width and a hole depth; the hole width is between 5 mm and 11 mm, and the hole depth is between 3 mm and 11 mm.

3. The connecting component of claim 1 , wherein the free end of the body part has a recess formed from an end face thereof.

4. The connecting component of claim 3 , wherein a ratio of a diameter of the body part to the hole width of the recess is between 1.1 and 1.4.

5. The connecting component of claim 1 , wherein the object is a safety hook for high-altitude hanging operation; and wherein the safety hook comprises a hook body, a switch, and a lock.
