Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of contactlessly identifying identification information of an identification object stored in an information storage chip mounted at an arbitrary position on a cylindrical or cylindrical identification object by using an antenna. The present invention relates to an identification information reading device to be read.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, sheet-like objects such as carpets, mats, semi-finished fabrics, and wallpaper are often transported or stored in a state of being wound in a columnar or cylindrical shape. On the other hand, in order to efficiently manage and operate each of these products or products, a bar code or ID (individual number, ID) recording an identification code for identifying the product or product for each product or product. An information storage chip composed of, for example, an IC element in which identification information such as a code, a model number, a price, a delivery date, and a shipment date is stored.

[0003] In order to easily read various information stored in the information storage chip or to rewrite the stored information, access to the memory of the IC element is performed wirelessly.

In general, such an information storage chip is attached to one corner of one side of a sheet-shaped product or product, so that when the sheet-shaped product or product is wound into a column or a cylinder, the information storage chip is stored. It is not possible to unambiguously determine which rotational angle position the tip mounting position is in a state of being wound in a cylindrical or cylindrical shape.

FIG. 7 shows the identification information stored in the information storage chip 2 attached to an arbitrary position as a result of the identification object 1 in a state where the sheet-shaped product or article is wound in a cylindrical or cylindrical shape. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an identification information reading device that reads a contactlessly.

[0006] A rectangular frame 4 is mounted on a roller conveyor 3 for transporting a columnar or cylindrical object 1 to be identified in the axial direction.
a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are attached. And this 4
An information processing device 7 composed of, for example, a personal computer is connected to the antennas 5 a to 5 d via a cable 6.

With such a configuration, no matter what rotational angle posture the identification object 1 is carried into the roller conveyor 3, that is, if the information storage chip 2 Even if it is located at the position, the corresponding information storage chip 2 always faces one of the four antennas 5a to 5d described above.

Therefore, the information processing device 7 reads out information from the memory of the information storage chip 2 attached to the identification object 1 through the opposed antennas 5a to 5d,
Writing is enabled.

[0009]

However, the identification information reading apparatus shown in FIG. 7 still has the following problems to be solved. That is, when the identification target 1 is carried into the roller conveyor 3, the information storage chip 2 has a low probability of correctly facing one of the four antennas 5a to 5d.
Requires a process of combining four pieces of information read by the four antennas 5a to 5d to determine one piece of correct identification information and selecting the most sensitive antenna. As a result, there is a concern that the processing load on the information processing device 7 increases.

Further, since the identification object 1 passes through the inside of the frame 4 having the antennas 5a to 5d affixed to the inner surface, there is a certain limitation on the outer diameter of the identification object 1. Conversely, if the outer diameter of the identifiable identification object 1 is increased, the frame 4 to which the antennas 5a to 5d are attached needs to be designed to be large, and there is a concern that the identification information reading device itself will become large.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by rotating a cylindrical or cylindrical object to be identified during transportation, identification information can be read with only one antenna. It is another object of the present invention to provide an identification information reading device that is a small device and that can reliably read identification information even for an identification object having a large outer diameter.

[0012]

Since the antenna is provided in one direction of the rotation direction of the identification target, the information storage chip attached to the identification target always faces the antenna correctly during the rotation period. Therefore, the identification information stored in the information storage chip may be read at the opposing timing, or a signal for one rotation of the rotating mechanism may be received by the antenna, and the identification information included in the signal may be extracted.

As described above, no matter what direction the rotation position of the information storage chip attached to the identification object being transported on the transport path is directed, the information storage chip is attached to the identification object by one antenna.

However, since a linear projection that is inclined in the carrying-in direction is formed on the surface of the belt conveyor, the object to be identified advances in the carrying-in direction while rotating.

Therefore, the same operation and effect as those of the above-mentioned invention can be obtained, and the object to be identified is once placed on the belt conveyor by the carry-in mechanism, and then runs on the belt conveyor. Therefore, there is no need for a mechanism for separately pushing the identification target placed on the belt conveyor.
