Description

Wireless induction type diaper and monitoring equipment thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a diaper, in particular to a wireless induction type diaper provided with a frequency shift type radio frequency identification tag and a monitoring device thereof, which can be read by the monitoring device after the diaper absorbs urine or moisture, and further the monitoring device sends out notification information to indicate that the diaper is wet.
Background
Conventional diapers have only a function of absorbing urine or moisture, and do not have a function of actively informing that the diaper is wet. Still another known diaper can alert bystanders that the diaper is wet by changing the color of the appearance of the diaper after absorbing urine or moisture; in the patent certificate No. CN103845156 of taiwan patent application, which has been approved and announced, a diaper with a sensing function is proposed, which can be used with a wireless rf reader, and the diaper with a sensing function includes: an absorption pad, a sensing line set and a radio frequency identification tag. The absorbent pad has two waist portions located on two opposite side edges, respectively, and includes: the waterproof layer is arranged between the inner liner layer and the waterproof layer. The release paper extends inwards from one side of the absorption pad, so that the absorption pad forms an opening in the side containing space. The sensing line group comprises at least two sensing lines which are arranged between the lining layer and the waterproof layer, each sensing line at least partially passes through the absorption layer, two ends of each sensing line respectively extend towards the waist part side, and one end of each sensing line is positioned in the accommodating space; the wireless radio frequency identification tag is removably arranged in the accommodating space and is electrically connected with the sensing line; when the absorption layer of the absorption pad absorbs excrement and is moist, the two sensing lines are electrically conducted with each other and form a loop together with the wireless radio frequency identification tag, and the wireless radio frequency reader is used for reading the wireless radio frequency identification tag to detect the resistance value change between the two sensing lines and send out a notification signal. Although the removable RFID tag is adopted in the diaper with the sensing function, compared with a system connected with a traditional electronic sensor, the production cost can be reduced to a limited extent (because the production cost of the existing RFID tag is continuously reduced), the fragile RFID tag is easily damaged by the design of frequent extraction and replacement, and the diaper is inconvenient to use.
In addition, taiwan patent certificate I533857, which has been approved and announced, proposes a diaper structure with a wireless wet-through detection function and a diaper detection system thereof, including a diaper body, at least one communication chip, at least one metal antenna and a signal reader, wherein the communication chip and the metal antenna are attached to the outer side of the leak-proof layer of the diaper and are connected with each other to form a wireless radio frequency Tag (Tag), when the diaper body is in a wet-through state, the change of the dielectric coefficient of the leak-proof layer of the diaper causes the impedance value of the metal antenna to change, thereby changing the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave signal transmitted by the wireless radio frequency Tag, and the signal reader can transmit a detection electromagnetic wave to the wireless radio frequency Tag, and the wireless radio frequency Tag transmits a response electromagnetic wave after receiving the detection electromagnetic wave, so that the signal reader can transmit a response electromagnetic wave according to the wavelength of the response electromagnetic wave, judging whether the diaper body is wet through.
In the aforesaid conventional technology CN103845156, an induction line is preset in the diaper to connect with a radio frequency identification tag, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is designed to be mobile, and is installed in a predetermined position of the diaper and electrically connected to the induction line when in use, so that the sensing line forms a short circuit after the diaper absorbs urine or moisture, and the radio frequency reader is used for reading the radio frequency identification tag to detect the change of resistance between the sensing lines and sending out a notification signal. In another known technology I533857, when the diaper body is in a wet state, the impedance value of the metal antenna is changed due to the change of the dielectric coefficient of the waterproof layer of the diaper, and the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave signal transmitted by the radio frequency tag is further changed, which is different from the known technology CN103845156, but the radio frequency of the radio frequency tag currently used by the folk belongs to the uhf band, the high frequency radio wave has a small wavelength and is not easy to pass through water molecules, so that when the normal uhf tag is attached to a background substance containing water, the tag antenna and the water form a large absorber, and therefore the antenna cannot effectively receive the electromagnetic wave, and the transmission distance becomes very short. Therefore, in the aforementioned prior art I533857, when the diaper body is in a wet-through state, the reading distance of the metal antenna is shortened from a long distance due to the change of the dielectric coefficient of the waterproof layer of the diaper itself and the influence of the water absorbing the ultra-high frequency band electromagnetic wave, and when the diaper is in a wet-through state, the reader sends an alarm by the change of the distance of the radio frequency tag from the long distance to the short distance. As mentioned above, when the diaper is saturated with water, the water absorbs the electromagnetic wave, but the distance decreases, so that the signal disappears, and it is impossible to determine whether the interruption is caused by the water absorption or caused by other factors; since the reader is always operated to receive signal processing, there is a problem that the reading performance is affected by the rapid overheating of the reader chip.

Detailed Description
Referring first to fig. 1 and 2, a diagram of an embodiment of a wireless inductive diaper and a frequency-shift rfid tag thereof according to the present invention is shown. One example configuration of a wireless inductive diaper of the present invention comprises: a diaper 10 and a frequency-shifted radio frequency identification tag 20 (hereinafter referred to simply as frequency-shifted RFID 20).
Wherein the diaper 10 comprises: the waterproof layer comprises a water-permeable lining layer 11, a waterproof layer 12 and an absorption layer 13, wherein the absorption layer 13 is arranged between the lining layer 11 and the waterproof layer 12 and used for absorbing urine or moisture.
The frequency-shift RFID20 includes: a chip 21 and an antenna 22 electrically connected to the chip 21, wherein the antenna 22 includes a main antenna 221 and an extension antenna 222, and the reading frequency band of the antenna 22 deviates from the reading frequency band of the monitoring device (see fig. 6) in a normal state (when the diaper 10 is not wet). The reading frequency band of the monitoring device is an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) frequency range (860 to 960MHz), which varies according to local and national regulations, for example, the reading frequency band of taiwan is 820 to 966 MHz. Preferably, the frequency-shifted RFID20 is a passive ultra high frequency radio frequency identification tag (uhf RFID).
An embodiment of the antenna 22, in which the main antenna 221 and the extension antenna 222 are disposed on the surface of a water-absorbable substrate 23, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material of the substrate 23 may be any one of paper, cloth, and porous substrates such as plastic, fiber, and wood pulp (sheet); wherein one embodiment of the extension antenna 222 is formed from a conductive ink printed on the surface of the substrate 23, the material of the conductive ink including, but not limited to, any one of conductive inks containing conductive carbon, nano-silver, and nano-copper. The extension antenna 222 and the water-absorbent substrate 23 are in contact with the absorption layer 13 of the diaper 10, and the water-absorbent substrate 23 can be wetted after the absorption layer 13 absorbs urine or moisture, so as to change the dielectric coefficient of the substrate 23 of the antenna 22 and shift the reading frequency band of the antenna 22 to the reading frequency band of the monitoring device.
As shown in fig. 2, according to the antenna design principle of the present invention, in a normal state (when the diaper 10 is not wet), the reading frequency band of the frequency shift type RFID20 (see the dashed line segment L1 in fig. 3) deviates from the reading frequency band R of the monitoring device, in one embodiment of the present invention, the extension antenna 222 having a frequency shift function is connected in parallel to the main antenna 221 of the uhf RFID tag, thereby forming a frequency shift type RFID20, wherein the extension antenna 222 and the main antenna 221 are electrically connected in a parallel connection relationship to the chip 21. The impedance matching of the extension antenna 222 and the main antenna 221 of the frequency-shifted RFID20 is designed to be weak at normal times (when the diaper 10 is unwetted) and short at the read band of the monitoring device, which in one embodiment of the invention is about 50 centimeters (cm).
Preferably, when the antenna 22 of the frequency shift RFID20 only has the main antenna 221, the reading frequency band of the RFID tag (see the central line L2 in fig. 3) including the main antenna 221 and the chip 21 may completely fall into the reading frequency band R of the monitoring device.
By changing the dielectric coefficient of the substrate 23 after the substrate 23 absorbs urine or moisture and the characteristic that water absorbs electric waves, the antenna 22 of the frequency shift RFID20 in the present invention generates a frequency offset effect due to the wetting of the substrate 23 of the extension antenna 222, which causes the reading frequency band of the frequency shift RFID20 to shift to the reading frequency band R of the monitoring device (see the solid line segment L3 in fig. 3), at this time, the readable distance of the frequency shift RFID20 becomes longer, in an embodiment of the present invention, the reading distance is about 3 meters (M), and after the monitoring device reads the radio signal of the frequency shift RFID20, the monitoring device sends a notification message indicating that the diaper is wetted.

The substrate of the antenna 22 may be a plastic substrate in this case. In a better state, the metal antenna can be prepared on the separable plastic substrate, and then the metal antenna is further transferred from the separable plastic substrate to the water-absorbent substrate 23. In addition, the external shape of the antenna 22 is not limited to that shown in fig. 2, and the different-shape extension antenna 222 with the frequency shift function can be electrically connected to the different-shape main antenna 221.
