Definitions
- the invention relates to an identification carrier of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also includes devices or objects with an identification carrier formed according to the invention.
- Identification carriers of the type in question are known in many versions and are used in particular to mark objects in order to be able to distinguish or identify them from one another, for example. Label carriers can be found in many areas, for example in industrial companies or research areas.
- Identification carriers of the type in question generally have the task of keeping an identification on an object, such as a device as well as individual parts.
- identification carriers of the type in question are widespread in the industrial sector, for example for identifying means of production. They are used, among other things, in control cabinets to identify cables or switching devices.
- the markings attached to an identification carrier of the type in question can therefore be realized in many ways and can be designed, for example, as color markings, designations, numbers, symbols, characters, graphics, coding and the like as well as a combination of different types of marking.
- the food sector is subject to very high requirements in order to prevent the goods produced as food from being contaminated with unwanted foreign bodies.
- Such foreign bodies include, for example, identification carriers or fragments of identification carriers, which can become detached from an object as a result of the action of external forces or as a result of signs of wear and tear and can end up in a foodstuff. So that such a contaminated product or foodstuff does not end up on the market, it is necessary to be able to detect and separate out any foreign bodies at an early stage.
- One difficulty here is that the unwanted foreign bodies often cannot be detected or recognized optically by an optical sensor or visually by a person. It is therefore necessary to be able to reliably detect foreign bodies of this type even if they cannot be optically detected or cannot be fully detected.
- Identification carriers in question are therefore known with a holding body for holding an identification arranged thereon on an object to be marked, the holding body having at least one transparent section for arranging an identification to protect it from external influences. They are known, for example, from DE102013113328, DE102009014694, DE102019105520, DE102019105526, DE102013109837.
- the object of the invention is first of all to specify an identification carrier with a transparent section for attaching an identification, with the identification carrier or a fragment detached from it also being detectable in a state when it is in a non-visible area or ver - or is covered (e.g. by other elements).
- Such a constellation arises, for example, when the identification carrier or a fragment thereof gets into a product in an undesired manner and is added to it, as a result of which it can be covered.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an identification carrier that allows protection of an identification from external influences and at the same time ensures its optical detection from the outside.
- the invention solves the tasks set for it by providing a transparent section that consists of a plastic that can be detected without contact or has a plastic that can be detected without contact.
- An advantage achieved by the invention is that the plastic of the transparent section is designed to be detectable as such and at the same time implements a protective function as well as optical detection of an area covered by it, in which the marking can be or is arranged.
- the invention thus offers a further advantage in that the identification can be arranged as desired on the transparent section and can also be in the form of a position mark or a scale.
- the invention thus opens up a wide range of applications for an identification carrier according to the invention, in particular in sensitive areas such as exist, for example, in the food industry and in clean rooms, e.g. for semiconductor production.
- the contactless detection of a plastic proposed according to the invention for the transparent section can be carried out, for example and in particular, by an inductive sensor.
- the detection of the plastic is independent of its optical detectability.
- the invention offers the advantage that, even if a fragment has become detached from the identification carrier and gets into the environment or a production item, these fragments or plastic particles can also be reliably detected, even if they are not visible area or are covered or covered by other parts/the production goods.
- non-optical means that detection is made possible independently of visual or optical detection by means of an optical sensor. It therefore allows detection when the relevant element to be detected or transparent section is covered or covered, as well as particles thereof.
- the non-contact detectable plastic can be detected in a passive state. Accordingly, no energy, such as electricity, has to be supplied to the plastic in order to be able to detect it. Accordingly, the invention allows that in particular at one identification carrier according to the invention is detectable in a passive state by such a plastic formed transparent section.
- the invention thus realizes—regardless of optical detectability—effectively recognizing contamination by an identification carrier according to the invention, which can also be caused by its transparent section, so that appropriate measures can then be initiated in good time.
- the invention also offers the advantage that even when used in sensitive rooms or environments, the optical detection of the marking or an area located under the transparent section can be carried out reliably, for example and in particular by means of an optical sensor that optically detects the marking or the aforementioned area captured.
- the transparent section is set up and designed so that a marking that is at least partially covered by the transparent section or a correspondingly covered area can be optically detected.
- the invention thus enables an identification to be detected optically by means of an optical sensor from outside the identification carrier. Furthermore, this makes it possible to visually perceive or recognize an object provided with an identification carrier according to the invention during assembly or maintenance work as well as during inspection processes.
- the invention advantageously allows a corresponding identification carrier to be attached to a surface which can be optically detected through the identification carrier and can therefore be checked/controlled.
- an identification carrier according to the invention can also be used to attach wear or control markings to an object.
- an identification carrier according to the invention can be designed in various ways. It is thus possible within the scope of the invention, for example, for the holding body to be formed from one or different plastic(s), as a result of which it can advantageously be made light and durable and optimized in certain areas to meet different requirements.
- the holding body is made of a plastic or different plastics, wherein the contact with different areas or fragments detached therefrom is/are detectable without contact and preferably non-optically, for example and in particular inductively. Further advantages arise when the holding body is formed from the same or a uniform plastic as the transparent section, which facilitates the recycling of an identification carrier according to the invention.
- an identification carrier according to the invention can be set up and designed in such a way that it is attached to a device, for example in one configuration as a rating plate, such as a production device or a tool, among other things.

- the transparent section is formed from a plastic that can be detected without contact, in particular inductively, or has such a plastic.
- the invention can be used to advantageously detect the plastic for the transparent section in a cost-effective manner.
- the invention opens up further advantages in that the identification carrier in question can be set up and designed, for example, for cable labeling, realization of nameplates for different objects, for example and in particular as an adhesive label or as a film body, in particular in strip form.
- the invention offers the advantage that an identification carrier in question can be designed to be adapted for different purposes of use. For example and in particular for the identification of equipment or means of production for the production, processing, treatment as well as testing or recording of products.
- the invention thus opens up advantages that make it possible, for example in the food sector and in the laboratory sector, to comply with cleanliness and hygiene regulations.
- a marking that is arranged on the holding body can be implemented in various ways.
- the marking can be a marking, such as a position marking or a scale.
- the marking can have characters, symbols as well as colored areas, so that it is possible to use the marking adapted to the respective purpose with a marking carrier according to the invention. This results in According to the invention, there are many possible applications which, in addition to color coding, also allow inscriptions and markings of all kinds.
- the invention leads to the advantage that the non-contact detectable plastic can be used as an information carrier in that information can be obtained from the plastic via the detection, which can result from the type and composition of the non-contact detectable plastic used.
