Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects according to the preamble of claim 1. It enables in particular the automatic detection of the state of packaging such as blister packs or food packaging.
- the known reading devices for detecting the condition of blister packs are designed in such a way that the blister pack to be tested is essentially completely inserted into the reading device. The state of the
- Blister packs are then determined either optically or electrically, in the latter case a simple conductor track is printed on the individual blisters, so that by applying two contacts to a blister, it can be recognized whether the blister is still intact or not.
- a disadvantage is that a large number of contacts must be provided in the reader.
- Known Contacts are provided in the reader.
- Known reading devices for blister packs are generally characterized by a complex structure and high manufacturing costs. In addition, an adaptation to the respective dimensions of the blister packs to be tested is required.
- the invention is accordingly based on the object of providing a device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects, which in conjunction with a reading device enables simple and inexpensive detection of the state of the device.
- the solution according to the invention is characterized in that the filling and / or emptying of the compartment triggers an electrically readable signal.
- the state of the device can be detected via the electrically readable signal.
- the filling or loading of a compartment with an object can also be determined or recorded.
- the compartment for removing the object and / or for filling with the object is mechanically changeable and an electrically readable signal is generated when the compartment changes mechanically. The mechanical change therefore leads directly to an electrically readable signal.
- an electrical data memory is integrated in the device.
- the electrical data storage device has at least one storage cell, each of which is assigned to a compartment of the device and which takes on a different storage value when the compartment changes mechanically.
- evaluation electronics for reading out the data memory are preferably integrated in the device.
- This preferred embodiment is based on the idea of designing the device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects itself as a carrier of electrical functionality.
- a compartment of the device that changes mechanically when an object is removed is assigned a memory cell, so that the mechanical change in the compartment is reflected in a changed memory value of the respective memory cell.
- the state of the individual compartments of the device and thus of the device as a whole can be determined by reading out the memory cells by means of the evaluation electronics.
- the evaluation electronics can be integrated directly into the substrate of the device or alternatively can be formed on a separate carrier that is applied to the device.
- the integration of the evaluation electronics in the device has the advantage that the intelligence for detecting a change in state of the device is integrated in the device itself. This is done in particular by integrating the electrical data storage device and the evaluation electronics into commercially available packaging, especially using polymer electronics. Due to the implementation of electronic functionalities in the device itself, the intelligence of a reading device can be considerably reduced and the size of a reading device can be miniaturized to the size of a pure display, which results in considerable cost savings. ,
- the reading device only needs to communicate with a standardized interface of the evaluation electronics and it is no longer necessary to provide means in the reading device which record the condition of all compartments of the reading device. Rather, it is sufficient to provide only one contact for serial data transmission. Furthermore, it is no longer necessary for the reading devices to completely record the device, the state of which is to be recorded. This means that the readers can be made smaller and used in connection with a much larger variety of packaging. Overall, the automatic detection of the state of a device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects is made possible by the solution mentioned in a significantly simpler and more cost-effective manner.
- a "compartment” in the sense of the present invention is understood to mean any spatially delimitable area that at least partially allows an object to be picked up or stored. In particular, it can be closed or only partially closed areas of a device
- the device under consideration can have one or more compartments.
- An “object” in the sense of the present invention, which is located in a compartment, can be solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous. For example, they are tablets or portions of food.
- a compartment forms part of the associated memory cell. A mechanical change in the compartment accordingly leads directly to a changed memory value of the memory cell.
- the compartment preferably has a conductor track that is part of the memory cell. The conductor track is destroyed when the compartment is changed mechanically, as a result of which the memory cell assumes a different value.
- the memory cell and the associated compartment can, however, also be coupled in another way.
- the compartment forms a capacitance, the capacitance being changed when the compartment is changed mechanically, so that the memory cell then assumes a different value.
- the compartment forms an inductance and the inductance is changed when the compartment changes mechanically. In this case, the memory cell assumes a different memory value due to the changed inductance.
- the memory cell can also have an oscillating circuit which is destroyed or detuned when the compartment changes mechanically, which in turn leads to a different memory value. The latter cases are particularly useful when integrating an AC voltage source into the device
- both configurations of a memory cell can be provided in which the memory cell stores digital values, in particular digital voltage values (for example “ZERO” or “ONE”).
- digital values for example “ZERO” or “ONE”.
- Embodiments of a memory cell can also be provided in which the memory cell stores analog values. In a preferred embodiment, only two values can be stored (eg "ZERO” or "ONE") which correspond to two states of the compartment ("filled” and “empty” respectively . "Undamaged” and "open”).
- the evaluation electronics have, for example, a shift register for reading out the data memory.
- the individual memory cells of the data memory form parallel inputs of the shift register.
- the shift register is read out serially via a suitable interface.
- the evaluation of the data memory by a shift register is only an example. The person skilled in the art recognizes that reading out the memory values of a data memory can be implemented in many ways.
- the solution according to the invention comprises both configurations in which a voltage source is integrated into the device and configurations in which a voltage source is not integrated.
- the energy for operating the data memory and the evaluation electronics is added from the outside, for example by means of the reading device. Just like the actual data transmission, this can be done with or without contact.
- the evaluation electronics preferably have only two connection contacts for the voltage (the operating voltage Vdd and GROUND) and one
- the energy is coupled in inductively or via an electromagnetic signal.
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- the evaluation electronics themselves have a timer and save the time at which a compartment mechanically was changed. This makes it possible to additionally save the time at which a drug or food is removed from a compartment under consideration and to determine it afterwards.
- the evaluation electronics is preferably designed as a separate chip with an integrated voltage source, which is applied, for example glued, to the device. Such a “high performance” configuration of the evaluation electronics is particularly expedient in the case of high-quality medications, for example medicines from genetic engineering.
- the chip is preferably designed as a silicon chip.
- the memory cell and / or conductor tracks and / or component evaluation electronics are preferably integrated directly into the substrate of the device.
- the data memory and / or conductor tracks and / or components of the evaluation electronics are at least partially designed as elements of the polymer electronics.
- the device has a layer composite and at least one of the layers of the composite is used to form an electrical function. It is preferably provided that active and / or passive electrical components such as transistors, diodes, capacitors, inductors or resistors as well as circuits formed therefrom are integrated in the layer composite.
- the data storage and the evaluation electronics resp. Components of the data storage and In this way, evaluation electronics can be inexpensively integrated directly into the substrate of the device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects. Integration into the substrate of a packaging which represents or has the device is preferably carried out.
- organic transistors can also be provided which, like transistors based on silicon, are composed of several layers: substrate, gate electrode, gate insulator, source and drain contacts, organic semiconductors (for example pentacene or substituted oligothiophenes) and a protective passivation. It is also conceivable to use hybrid organic / inorganic structures and to integrate them into the substrate of the device or the substrate of the packaging.
- Integrating electrical functionality into Plastic films based on polymer electronics represent an extremely useful embodiment of the teaching of integrating evaluation electronics for reading out a data memory together with the data memory in a device for storing solid and / or liquid and / or gaseous objects.
- the data memory and the evaluation electronics can also be implemented in a different way, as previously stated.
- the electrical lines of the data storage device or of the evaluation electronics in the event that the substrate of the device has an aluminum layer, are formed by the aluminum layer itself, which is structured accordingly and serves as a conductor track level after the structuring.
- the conductor tracks can be implemented, for example, with the aid of conductive organic connections by printing.
- suitable organic compounds are carbon black, polystyrene sulfonic acid-doped polydioxyethylene thiophene (PEDOTrPSS) or champhersulfonic acid-doped polyaniline.
- the device preferably represents or has packaging, the packaging forming the compartments and the data memory and the evaluation electronics being integrated into the substrate of the packaging.
- the packaging is, for example, a blister pack.
- the invention is also suitable for the detection of the condition of other packaging, in particular for the detection of the condition of
