El objeto de la presente invención recae, en un dispositivo eléctrico/electrónico cuya finalidad es configurarse como medio práctico para proporcionar el suministro de hilos con chip, particularmente hilos con chip RFID (Radio Frequency Identification o identificación por radiofrecuencia) y antena NFC (Near Field Communication Comunicación de campo cercano) de los que se incorporan en las prendas de confección, cuya estructura incorpora medios para dispensar dichos hilos ya cortados, comprobados y posicionados de manera que se facilita su recogida y colocación a la costurera que los ha de incorporar, y que, opcionalmente, también posee unos medios para grabar la información deseada en los chips durante el propio proceso de suministro del hilo.The object of the present invention lies in an electrical / electronic device whose purpose is to be configured as a practical means to provide the supply of wires with chip, particularly wires with RFID chip ( Radio Frequency Identification or radio frequency identification) and NFC antenna ( Near Field Communication Near field communication) of those that are incorporated into garments, whose structure incorporates means to dispense said threads already cut, checked and positioned so that their collection and placement is facilitated to the seamstress that has to incorporate them, and which, optionally, also has means for recording the desired information on the chips during the thread delivery process itself.

CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNFIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de aparatos y dispositivos eléctrico-electrónicos, abarcando concretamente el campo de los concernientes a I^os hilos con chip, a la vez que el ámbito de la industria textil.The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of electrical-electronic devices and devices, specifically covering the field of concerning ^the threads with chip, as well as the scope of the textile industry.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Son conocidos en el mercado los hilos que llevan embebido unos chips RFID con unas antenas a lo largo de los mismos. Una porción de dicho hilo con un chip y una antena se introduce en algún lugar de una prenda de ropa (dobladillo, cuello, manga...), en sustitución de las etiquetas RFID tradicionales, que están vistas y pueden ser fácilmente extraíbles. El hecho de que sea un hilo, supone una ventaja frente a las etiquetas, ya que dificulta que el usuario lo encuentre y lo pueda extraer. El chip RFID se puede utilizar para incorporar información aunque principalmente tiene una función de alarma para evitar hurtos en los comercios.The threads that carry embedded RFID chips with antennas along them are known in the market. A portion of said thread with a chip and an antenna is introduced somewhere in a garment (hem, neck, sleeve ...), replacing traditional RFID tags, which are seen and can be easily removed. The fact that it is a thread, is an advantage over labels, since it makes it difficult for the user to find and extract it. The RFID chip can be used to incorporate information although it mainly has an alarm function to prevent shoplifting.

El hilo, además del chip, lleva unas marcas visuales que indican por donde se debe cortar para que la porción del hilo a incorporar en la prenda contenga un chip y la antena correspondiente.The thread, in addition to the chip, bears visual marks that indicate where it should be cut so that the portion of the thread to be incorporated in the garment contains a chip and the corresponding antenna.

El hilo se puede suministrar de dos maneras. Una manera es ya cortado en tramos que contienen un chip y una antena. En este modo la confeccionista debe coger un hilo de uno en uno del recipiente y colocarlo correctamente en la pieza de ropa donde lo debe fijar.The thread can be supplied in two ways. One way is already cut into sections that contain a chip and an antenna. In this way the garment maker must take a thread one by one from the container and place it correctly on the piece of clothing where it should be fixed.

El hilo también se puede entregar en forma de bobina. En este caso la costurera deberá cortar el hilo correctamente, para que contenga solo un chip y una antena, y colocarlo en la pieza de ropa.The thread can also be delivered as a bobbin. In this case the seamstress must cut the thread correctly, so that it contains only one chip and one antenna, and place it on the piece of clothing.

El problema es que el hilo es difícil de colocar puesto que necesita ser colocado de manera recta o prácticamente recta para que la antena cumpla con ^su función. E ^s de notar que cuando el hilo se dobla no funciona el chip.The problem is that the wire is difficult to place since it needs to be placed straight or practically straight for the antenna to meet With ^its function. E ^s worth noting that when the wire is bent not operate the chip.

El problema es también que el suministro del hilo a la costurera es difícil, puesto que, al ser un hilo, se dobla fácilmente y es difícilmente manipulable,The problem is also that the supply of the thread to the seamstress is difficult, since, being a thread, it easily bends and is difficult to handle,

El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, el desarrollo de un dispositivo especialmente diseñado para evitar dicha problemática y hacer que el suministro de dicho hilo sea el óptimo para facilitar ^su recogida a la costurera y poder colocarlo adecuadamente en la prenda, haciendo que la operación se realice en menos tiempo, lo cual, a ^su vez, repercute en los tiempos invertidos en la fabricación de las prendas,The objective of the present invention is, therefore, the development of a device specially designed to avoid said problem and make the supply of said thread the optimum to facilitate ^its collection to the seamstress and to be able to place it properly in the garment, making the operation is performed in less time, which, in ^turn, affects the time invested in making garments,

Otro objetivo de la invención es proporcionar, a la vez, un dispositivo multifuncional para que, entro otras funciones, comprenda medios para comprobar el correcto funcionamiento del hilo antes de ^su colocación, evitando la incorporación de hilos defectuosos en las prendas,Another object of the invention is to provide, at the same time, a multifunctional device so that, among other functions, it comprises means for checking the correct operation of the thread before ^its placement, avoiding the incorporation of defective threads in the garments,

Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro dispositivo para el suministro de hilo con chip ni ninguna otra invención de aplicación similar que presente unas características técnicas y estructurales iguales o semejantes a las que presenta el que aquí se reivindica,On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other device for the supply of thread with chip or any other invention of similar application that presents some is unknown. technical and structural characteristics equal to or similar to those presented here,

EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNEXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

El dispositivo multifuncional para el suministro de hilo con chip que la invención propone se configura pues como una destacable novedad dentro de ^su campo de aplicación, ya que a tenor de ^su implementación, se alcanzan satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados, estando I^os detalles oaraoterizadores que lo hacen posible y que lo distinguen convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente descripción.The multifunctional device for the supply of yarn with chip that the invention proposes is thus configured as a remarkable novelty within ^its field of application, since in accordance with ^its implementation, the aforementioned objectives are satisfactorily achieved, being ^the details of the motorizers that make it possible and that distinguish it conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

Concretamente, lo que la invención propone, como se ha indicado anteriormente, es un dispositivo consituido para suministrar hilos con chip RFID embebido, de los que se incorporan en prendas de confección, normalmente como medio de alarma, facilitando la entrega de dichos hilos al personal que lo ha de colocar, normalmente costureras, para que puedan cogerlo ya cortado y en la posición adecuada y habiendo sido comprobado su correcto funcionamiento o descartado en caso de no ser apto.Specifically, what the invention proposes, as indicated above, is a device constituted for supplying threads with embedded RFID chip, of which they are incorporated into garments, usually as an alarm means, facilitating the delivery of said threads to personnel that you have to place it, usually seamstresses, so that they can take it already cut and in the appropriate position and having verified its correct operation or discarded if it is not suitable.

Para todo ello, el dispositivo incorpora un conjunto de medios eléctricos y electrónicos que, controlados mediante un sistema informático implementado en un PLC, hacen posible dicha entrega partiendo de una bobina donde el hilo esta en continuo.For all this, the device incorporates a set of electrical and electronic means that, controlled by a computer system implemented in a PLC, make such delivery possible starting from a coil where the wire is in continuous.

Así, en una primera fase, el hilo accede desde la bobina a una primera zona del dispositivo donde se corta el hilo en la porción correcta. Para ello dicha zona comprende preferentemente una cuchilla.Thus, in a first phase, the thread accesses from the bobbin a first area of the device where the thread is cut in the correct portion. For this purpose, said area preferably comprises a blade.

Además, en esta primera zona del dispositivo también se efectúa la correcta colocación del hilo para realizar el corte correctamente y para procurar su dispensado en la posición correcta, lo cual se efectúa preferentemente mediante unos rodillos motorizados que controlan el movimiento del hilo y lo introducen en un primer tramo de guía por la que discurre aplanado entre dos cintas rodantes, y tras el cual se incluye preferentemente un sensor de contraste que detecta las marcas del hilo que indican por donde cortar el hilo. In addition, in this first area of the device the correct placement of the thread is also carried out to perform the cut correctly and to ensure its dispensing in the correct position, which is preferably carried out by means of motorized rollers that control the movement of the thread and introduce it into a first guide section through which it runs flat between two treadmills, and after which a contrast sensor that detects the thread marks indicating where to cut the thread is preferably included.

En el caso de que el hilo no esté correctamente colocado el sistema informático que controla el accionamiento del dispositivo hace mover los rodillos para corregir la situación del hilo.In the event that the thread is not correctly positioned, the computer system that controls the drive of the device moves the rollers to correct the situation of the thread.

Una vez cortado, el hilo pasa a un segundo tramo de guía en la segunda zona del dispositivo hacia la salida donde el hilo queda parcialmente accesible a la costurera quien podrá estirar del mismo en la posición idónea para proceder a colocarlo en la prenda. El hilo en esta fase se entrega de una manera recta, lo cual facilita la correcta colocación del mismo.Once cut, the thread passes to a second section of guide in the second area of the device towards the exit where the thread is partially accessible to the seamstress who can stretch it in the ideal position to proceed to place it on the garment. The thread in this phase is delivered in a straight way, which facilitates its correct placement.

El dispositivo incorpora unos medios de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip. Dichos medios pueden estar en diferentes posiciones que se detallan más adelante.The device incorporates means for checking the operation of the chip. Said means may be in different positions detailed below.

Preferentemente, además, el dispositivo lleva un adaptador para que pueda colocarse en un lateral de una máquina de coser estándar. Ya figuran otro tipo de dispositivos que hacen otras funciones y que se colocan en las máquinas de coser mediante adaptadores existentes a tal efecto en el mercado.Preferably, in addition, the device carries an adapter so that it can be placed on one side of a standard sewing machine. There are already other types of devices that perform other functions and that are placed on the sewing machines using existing adapters for this purpose in the market.

Opcionalmente, el dispositivo de la invención incluye también unos medios para aplicar una capa adhesiva al hilo con el fin de que se fije a la prenda donde se debe colocar.Optionally, the device of the invention also includes means for applying an adhesive layer to the thread so that it is fixed to the garment where it should be placed.

Asimismo, según una opción alternativa de la invención, el sensor de detección y comprobación del chip RFID se utilizará también como grabador, es decir, el chip del hilo quedará configurado con una información, por ejemplo talla, modelo, u otra. Esta configuración de lectura podrá ser modificada por el usuario mediante una pantalla táctil dotada de los medios de comunicación correspondientes. Also, according to an alternative option of the invention, the detection and verification sensor of the RFID chip will also be used as a recorder, that is, the thread chip will be configured with information such as size, model, or other. This reading configuration can be modified by the user through a touch screen equipped with the corresponding media.

Cabe señalar, finalmente, que toda la electrónica, sensores, motor eléctrico y electroimán, están controlados por el sistema informático de un PLC con una fuente de alimentación que va incorporado en un módulo independiente.Finally, it should be noted that all the electronics, sensors, electric motor and electromagnet are controlled by a PLC computer system with a power supply that is incorporated in a separate module.

En resumen, pues, el dispositivo tiene como finalidad dispensar el hilo cortado en segmentos funcionales que incluyen un chip RFID embebido de funcionamiento comprobado y en posición recta para cogerlo y manipularlo como convenga, para lo cual comprende, esencialmente:In summary, therefore, the purpose of the device is to dispense the thread cut into functional segments that include an embedded RFID chip of proven operation and in a straight position to pick it up and handle it as appropriate, for which it essentially comprises:

• unos medios de desplazamiento del hilo proveniente de una bobina • unos medios de guiado que ponen el hilo recto, en la posición adecuada para ser manipulado, constituidos preferentemente por unos rodetes motorizados y unas guías;• means for displacing the thread from a coil • guiding means that place the thread straight, in the proper position to be handled, preferably constituted by motorized impellers and guides;

• unos medios detectores que comprueban la posición del chip RFID en el hilo que detectan la marca de corte que figura en el hilo conformados preferentemente por un sensor de contraste,• detecting means that check the position of the RFID chip in the thread that detects the cut mark contained in the thread preferably formed by a contrast sensor,

• unos medios de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip RFID conformados preferentemente por un sensor detector de chips, • unos medios de corte constituidos preferentemente por una cuchilla;• means for checking the operation of the RFID chip preferably formed by a chip detector sensor, • cutting means preferably consisting of a knife;

• unos medios que expulsan parcialmente el segmento de hilo cortado con chip funcional para que pueda ser fácilmente recogido, conformados por la guía de salida;• means that partially eject the segment of thread cut with functional chip so that it can be easily picked up, formed by the exit guide;

• opcionalmente unos medios que descartan el segmento de hilo, constituidos preferentemente por una guía de hilo de desechado o por un medio de aspiración y un depósito de hilos desechados; y • unos medios de control informatizado de todos los componentes eléctricos y electrónicos que incluyen dichos medios, constituidos por el PLC. • optionally means that discard the thread segment, preferably constituted by a guide of waste wire or by means of aspiration and a deposit of discarded threads; and • computerized control means of all electrical and electronic components including said means, constituted by the PLC.

L^os medios de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip RFID pueden estar situados antes de los medios de corte y antes de los medios que descartan el segmento de hilo. En esta realización concreta si el sensor de detector del chip RFID ha comprobado que el chip del hilo funciona correctamente, el hilo cortado es conducido hacia la costurera mediante unos medios que expulsan parcialmente el segmento de hilo cortado con chip funcional para que pueda ser fácilmente recogido, dirigidos por la guía de salida. Sin embargo, si el hilo es incorrecto, es decir, si el sensor detector del chip RFID ha comprobado que el chip del hilo no funciona correctamente, el hilo cortado es conducido a un contenedor de desecho a través de un tercer tramo de guías previsto al efecto en la citada segunda zona del dispositivo. L means ^will check the functionality of RFID chip may be located before the cutting means and before the means discard the wire segment. In this specific embodiment if the RFID chip detector sensor has verified that the thread chip is working correctly, the cut wire is led to the seamstress by means that partially eject the segment of thread cut with a functional chip so that it can be easily picked up. , led by the exit guide. However, if the thread is incorrect, that is, if the detector sensor of the RFID chip has verified that the thread chip does not work properly, the cut wire is taken to a waste container through a third section of guides provided to the effect on said second zone of the device.

En otra realización preferente, los medios de de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip RFID están situados después de los medios de corte de tal manera que la costurera debe rechazar manualmente el segmento de hilo no funcional.In another preferred embodiment, the means for checking the operation of the RFID chip are located after the cutting means such that the seamstress must manually reject the non-functional thread segment.

En otra realización preferente, los medios de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip RFID están dispuestos sobre la zona de trabajo de la costurera de tal manera que son capaces de comprobar el funcionamiento del chip una vez éste esté fijado en la prenda. L^os medios de comprobación del funcionamiento del chip son accionados manualmente con el fin de que dichos medios de comprobación no funcionen continuamente sino puntualmente cuando la costurera lo desee. En esta realización el efecto conseguido en la comprobación del funcionamiento del chip RFID una vez éste esté fijado en la prenda y ya no pueda ser estropeado por la acción de la maquina de coser (por ejemplo pinchando el chip con la aguja de coser). In another preferred embodiment, the means for checking the operation of the RFID chip are arranged on the working area of the seamstress in such a way that they are able to check the operation of the chip once it is fixed on the garment. L ^os means testing of the chip are manually operated so that said checking means not run continuously but promptly when the seamstress desired. In this embodiment, the effect achieved in checking the operation of the RFID chip once it is fixed on the garment and can no longer be damaged by the action of the sewing machine (for example, by pricking the chip with the sewing needle).

El descrito dispositivo multifuncional para el suministro de hilo con chip consiste, pues, en una estructura innovadora de características desconocidas hasta ahora para el fin a que se destina, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita.The described multifunctional device for the supply of wire with chip consists, then, in an innovative structure of unknown characteristics until now for the purpose for which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity requested.
