Description

Sistema y procedimiento para el control de explosivos encartuchados.System and procedure for the control of explosives encartuchados.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere, como su propio nombre indica, a un sistema y un procedimiento para el control de explosivos encartuchados en sectores técnicos de uso industrial como la minería, obras públicas, etc..The present invention is referred to as its own  name indicates, to a system and a procedure for the control of explosives encartuchados in technical sectors of industrial use such as mining, public works, etc.

Concretamente, el objeto de la invención es conseguir un sistema y un procedimiento de control por medio de la utilización de un chip de identificación por radiofrecuencia, comúnmente denominada RFID (del inglés Radio Frequency Identification).Specifically, the object of the invention is achieve a control system and procedure by means of the use of a radio frequency identification chip, commonly called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Actualmente el control de explosivos se realiza por medio de los conocidos códigos de barras, que necesitan una lectura directa, y que no dejan de ser una simple etiqueta identificativa.Currently the explosives control is carried out by means of the well-known barcodes, which need a direct reading, and they are still a simple label identifying

Sin embargo, no se conoce en el campo de los explosivos un sistema que permita el control a distancia de los mismos cuando se encuentran ya en el tajo o lugar donde van a ser utilizados.However, it is not known in the field of explosives a system that allows remote control of same when they are already in the pit or place where they will be used

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El sistema y procedimiento que a continuación se describe resuelve los inconvenientes señalados, pues el control del explosivo se realiza mediante la utilización de Radiofrecuencia, que ya es utilizada en aplicaciones tales como el control del inventariado de envases, animales o personas, según normas ISO (ISO 10374, ISO 11784, ISO 10536).The system and procedure below  describe resolves the problems indicated, since the control of Explosive is done by using Radio Frequency, which is already used in applications such as the control of inventory of containers, animals or people, according to ISO standards (ISO 10374, ISO 11784, ISO 10536).

El sistema y el procedimiento de la invención se basan en la utilización de la tecnología RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) la cual cubre la utilización de un chip que almacena un número de identificación que puede ser leído a distancia por un lector o detector compuesto por un emisor y un receptor.The system and method of the invention are  based on the use of RFID (Radio Frequency) technology Identification) which covers the use of a chip that stores an identification number that can be read at distance by a reader or detector composed of a transmitter and a receiver.

Esta comunicación entre el chip y el lector, que se realiza a través de ondas electromagnéticas, no requiere por lo tanto línea de visión directa.This communication between the chip and the reader, which  it is done through electromagnetic waves, it does not require so both direct line of sight.

Más concretamente, la invención propuesta se basa en introducir durante el proceso de fabricación del explosivo encartuchado, un chip de identificación por radiofrecuencia o RFDI en su interior, que se denominará trazador del explosivo, quedando dicho chip totalmente envuelto por el material explosivo.More specifically, the proposed invention is based on introducing during the explosive manufacturing process housed, a radio frequency or RFDI identification chip inside, which will be called the explosive plotter, leaving said chip totally wrapped by the explosive material.

A partir de entonces, durante la manipulación del cartucho a lo largo de su ciclo de vida se podrá seguir el rastro del chip RFID, que se convierte de esta manera en el trazador del cartucho.Thereafter, during handling of the cartridge throughout its life cycle you can follow the trace of the RFID chip, which thus becomes the cartridge plotter.

Se podrán introducir uno o varios chips RFID en el interior del cartucho, pero todos aquellos chips que se introduzcan en un cartucho habrán de tener un único número de identificación.One or more RFID chips can be inserted in the inside of the cartridge, but all those chips that introduced into a cartridge must have a unique number of ID.

Debido a sus propiedades de comunicación mediante radiofrecuencia, la comunicación entre el trazador y el detector del trazador se puede realizar a distancia aun cuando el cartucho está enterrado en el barreno en los instantes previos a la voladura. Esto permite revisar la carga de los barrenos y verificar que la suma del conjunto de los cartuchos enterrados en los barrenos, y el conjunto de cartuchos sobrantes es igual al conjunto de cartuchos que había en el tajo en los momentos previos a la carga de los barrenos.Due to its communication properties by radiofrequency, the communication between the plotter and the plotter detector can be performed remotely even when the cartridge is buried in the hole in the moments before the blasting. This allows to check the loading of the holes and verify that the sum of the set of cartridges buried in the holes, and the set of leftover cartridges is equal to the set of cartridges that were in the pit in the moments before the loading of the holes.

Una vez verificada la igualdad de estos conjuntos, queda comprobado que no ha quedado ningún cartucho fuera de control, y se procede a la voladura, que destruye los explosivos enterrados en los barrenos y sus correspondientes trazadores.Once verified the equality of these sets, it is verified that no cartridge has been left out  control, and blasting, which destroys the explosives buried in the holes and their corresponding plotters

De no cumplirse la igualdad entre conjuntos se ha de suponer que han sido extraviados uno o varios cartuchos, debiendo ser informadas de ello las autoridades competentes.If equality between sets is not fulfilled, it must be assumed that one or more cartridges have been lost, The competent authorities must be informed of this.

Finalmente, tras una voladura, algunos cartuchos pueden fallar y no detonarse. El sistema permite además escanear los escombros de la voladura para localizar cartuchos sin detonar que hayan quedado enterrados entre los escombros.Finally, after a blast, some cartridges  They can fail and not detonate. The system also allows scanning blasting debris to locate cartridges without detonating that have been buried in the rubble.
