for sealing the accommodating space; a reader unit, further comprising: a
RFID reader, attached to the frame; and at least an antenna, electrically
connected to the RFID reader and being received in the accommodating
space of the frame; a memory unit, attached to the frame and being
electrically connected to the RFID reader; a control unit, further
comprising: an actuating device, coupled to the frame and the cover in
respective and capable of open/close the cover while operating; a sensing
device, attached to the frame and being electrically connected to the
RFID reader, capable of activating the RFID reader to start/stop reader
RFID tags through the antenna with respect to the sensing unit sensing
the opening/closing of the cover; and a power unit, for providing power
to the reader unit, the memory unit and the control unit.
