Definitions
- the invention relates to a securing element for the electronic article surveillance in an electromagnetic Monitoring system consisting of a soft magnetic magnetostrictive stripe and one the stripe assigned bias element from a semi-hard or hard magnetic material (e.g. SEMIVAC from the company Vacuumschmelze), as well as a method for producing a such fuse element.
- an electromagnetic Monitoring system consisting of a soft magnetic magnetostrictive stripe and one the stripe assigned bias element from a semi-hard or hard magnetic material (e.g. SEMIVAC from the company Vacuumschmelze), as well as a method for producing a such fuse element.
- a securing element is already known from EP 0 093 281 B1 and a monitoring device for a corresponding one Security element that is provided on the surveillance goods has become known.
- the securing element consists of an elongated strip of a preferably amorphous, magnetic material with high permeability and magnetostriction.
- the strip is designed so that it is in the Frequency of the incident alternating magnetic field Mechanical vibration monitoring device is excited.
- the elastic reverberation behavior and the thus coupled change via the magnetostrictive effect of magnetization in the strip induce a Voltage change in the receiving device.
- Suitable alloy compositions can be used magnetostrictive properties of the strip in wide Ranges vary. All of these alloys have in common that a corresponding heat treatment more or less pronounced preferred direction across Longitudinal axis of the strip can be stamped.
- This transverse anisotropy is necessary in order to Material with fields along the longitudinal axis of the strip to stimulate mechanical vibrations. Because the change in length square of the cosine of the change in magnetization depends on the largest change in length and thus the greatest magneto-elastic effect is achieved when the magnetization approximately in the 45 ° direction Longitudinal axis of the strip is set. Can be reached this is done by appropriately pre-magnetizing the strip in an external field of sufficient strength. Without Demagnetizing effects would be 0.7 times that Anisotropy field strength of the induced anisotropy necessary. In general, however, smaller ones are sufficient Field strengths.
- the strength of the premagnetization thus determines both Amplitude of vibration as well as natural Streak resonance frequency.
- the correct setting premagnetization is an essential prerequisite for that at the broadcast polling frequency of the transmitter an optimal resonance behavior of the strip is achieved.
- Optimal means: the characteristic Signal has a sufficiently high vibration amplitude and also shows an optimal one Decay behavior.
- EP 0 093 281 B1 is used for technical implementation the bias suggested using an or several magnetic elements that are magnetized and in close enough to the strip are sufficiently high To achieve stray field along the strip.
- the Securing element can now be easily done disable that by demagnetizing the fuse element or by magnetizing the bias element the stray field in anti-parallel areas disappears.
- this method does not work absolutely reliable.
- EP 0 690 425 A1 suggested the strip during manufacture on the cut to suitable length. This is a relative cumbersome process that with high manufacturing costs connected is.
- EP 0 696 784 A1 A workaround for this problem is proposed in EP 0 696 784 A1.
- a bias element is also used here, the stray field of which is dimensioned such that the magneto-elastic strip can be magnetized to a higher degree.
- the resonance frequency can be tuned to the respective frequency of the interrogation field within certain limits by targeted magnetization of the bias element, as a result of which inhomogeneities in the materials used can be compensated.
- the disadvantage of this method is that, in order to optimize the magneto-elastic behavior of the strip, the magnetization of the bias element must be set individually by a suitable choice of an external field.
- the invention has for its object a securing element and a method of manufacturing such Propose fuse element that is inexpensive are producible or an inexpensive manufacture the securing elements allowed.
- the object is achieved with respect to the securing element according to the invention in that the bias element is designed in such a way that, by applying an essentially constant external field, it generates a stray field which optimizes the magneto-elastic properties of the strip.
- Source security means that the security elements are integrated into the goods or their packaging during manufacture.
- deactivated backup elements are used for source backups because unnecessary distribution of active backup elements is not desired. The activation takes place only on site within the area to be secured.
- all of the securing elements can be activated by means of the same magnetic field.
- Securing element provides that the strip and that Biasing element a distance d from each other to have.
- the strip has a substantially linear magnetization curve having. Then there is a possibility that Securing element by demagnetizing the bias element to deactivate without causing false alarms comes in surveillance systems based on the harmonic Principle.
- the bias element such is trained that it through the external field in the Saturation is driven, being its remanent Magnetization after saturation in an external field creates the desired stray field.
- Securing element provides that the bias element is designed such that the Bias field generated stray field is smaller than that to achieve strip saturation required field. This configuration has the advantage that a later deactivation is then simple and reliable for all security systems through complete Magnetization can take place.
- this is Bias element in areas of opposite Magnetization divides the strip like this premagnetize that it is deactivated.
- the bias element free areas having.
- the bias element air gaps of width a at a distance b or that holes with a radius r in the Biasing element are provided which are spaced s are arranged from each other.
- An alternative embodiment proposes a heat treatment of the bias element in selected Areas of width a before, the areas a Have a distance b from each other.
- the effect is comparable that achieved through material reduction: the component the magnetization is much in the selected areas smaller than in the surrounding areas of the Bias element.
- the heat treatment can be done with common methods, such as power supply or energy supply by means of a laser or by inductive means.
- the Fuse element according to the invention in the selected areas by creating a mechanical tension or a magnetic field preferred magnetic direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the Biasing element is set.
- the securing element is the width a of the selected one Areas small in terms of the distance d between the Strip and the bias element.
- the method according to the invention provides that the physical properties of the bias element be changed so that the fuse element after switching off the external field a higher or a higher has lower remanent magnetization than before Modification.
- the method is in one learning system is integrated.
- the individual process steps continuously successive securing elements as long performed until the desired vibration behavior is reached.
- This 'learning system' enables even minor changes in the specified values to compensate immediately so that all securing elements show the same vibration behavior.

Abstract
Description
Der Nachteil dieser Methode ist darin zu sehen, daß zwecks Optimierung des magneto-elastischen Verhaltens des Streifens die Magnetisierung des Vormagnetisierungselements durch geeignete Wahl eines externen Feldes individuell eingestellt werden muß.
Das erfindungsgemäße Sicherungselement ist äußerst vorteilhaft. So läßt es sich nach einer erfolgten Deaktivierung (= kein charakteristisches Resonanzverhalten im Abfragefeld) wesentlich einfacher reaktivieren, da das notwendige externe Feld für alle erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungselemente näherungsweise identisch ist. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn mehrere Sicherungselemente gleichzeitig reaktiviert werden sollen, wie dies z.B. bei der Quellensicherung häufig der Fall ist. Quellensicherung bedeutet, daß die Sicherungselemente bereits bei der Fertigung in die Waren oder ihre Verpackungen integriert werden. In der Regel werden bei der Quellensicherung deaktivierte Sicherungselemente verwendet, da eine unnötige Verbreitung von aktiven Sicherungselementen nicht erwünscht ist. Die Aktivierung erfolgt erst vor Ort innerhalb des zu sichernden Bereiches. Hier ist es natürlich äußerst wünschenswert, wenn alle Sicherungselemente mittels desselben Magnetfeldes aktivierbar sind.
In Fig. 2c ist eine perspektivische Ansicht einer zweiten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungselementes 1 zu sehen. Hier wird die Magnetisierung M des Vormagnetisierungselementes 3 durch kreisförmig ausgebildete Bereiche 5 geändert.
Unter Programmpunkt 14 erfolgt dann die Bestimmung der Resonanzfrequenz des Sicherungselementes 1. Die Resonanzfrequenz wird - wie in Fig. 4b unter 20 dargestellt - mittels einer Empfangsvorrichtung 8 gemessen. Die Meßdaten werden der Rechen-/Steuereinheit 9 zwecks Auswertung zugeleitet.
Bei Punkt 15 des Steuerprogramms ermittelt die Rechen-/Steuereinheit nunmehr, ob die gemessene Resonanzfrequenz mit dem optimalen Wert übereinstimmt. Wird diese Abfrage bejaht, wird das Verfahren mit den vorgegebenen Werten für a und b fortgeführt. Stimmt die Resonanzfrequenz nicht mit dem vorgegebenen Wert überein, werden a und b oder a oder b bei Punkt 16 variiert. Danach wird das Herstellungsverfahren für die Sicherungselemente 1 auf der Basis der neuen Anfangswerte durchgeführt.
