Description

  The present invention relates to an RFID chip label that is used, for example, attached to a drug container.

  Conventionally, barcodes have been used for product inventory management and sales management. In recent years, the use of contactless ID tags that can transmit and receive information wirelessly is increasing instead. This is an antenna coil and an IC chip provided on an insulating base material, and can perform non-contact information communication using radio waves. A resonance circuit is formed by the antenna coil, the IC chip, and the capacitive element, and the information can be written to the IC chip by receiving radio waves (information) from a writing device installed outside. When receiving radio waves from an external device (reading device), information stored in the IC chip is returned to the external device.

  An RFID label in which a non-contact type ID tag (hereinafter also referred to as an ID tag) which is such an RFID chip and a display label are integrated is used. The RFID label has a display portion for product information on the front surface, and an ID tag is bonded to the back surface, and an adhesive surface to be attached to the product is formed. When an RFID label is attached to a product, product information can be read wirelessly, which is convenient for product management.

  In addition, in order to prevent reuse of an RFID tag attached to a product or a container containing the product, or misuse of information stored in an IC chip, the above RFID tag or the like is used. It is carried out by removing the container from the container in which the container is stored.

As in Patent Document 1, in an RFID label in which an IC chip is attached to a label base material, a releasable adhesive having a weak adhesive force is applied to an application surface to be attached to an article to be attached such as a product or a container containing the product. What is provided is disclosed. However, in the form of sticking a single label, the label adhesion portion floats on the surface of a small-diameter container, and the label is easily peeled off while being touched by hand.
JP 2007-256666 A

  The problem of the present invention is that the management of the drug container can be managed more smoothly by using the RFID chip label, especially in the medical field, and the lifting of the small diameter container can be suppressed, and the ID tag can be protected from external impacts and scratches. Another object of the present invention is to provide a label for an RFID chip that can easily collect or reattach a used RFID label.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is a longitudinal label attached to the body of the container so as to go around,
The label has a circumferential length that circulates so as to overlap the trunk of the container beyond one round, and includes an adhesive layer on the back surface of the label,
The RFID chip is adhered to the label at a position where it is sandwiched between inner and outer label portions that overlap and overlap,
Furthermore, a separation part that can be separated from other label parts with a width that includes the ID tag is formed on the outer label part of the inner and outer label parts that are doubled across the ID tag,
Further, the adhesive force of the RFID chip with respect to the inner label portion is weaker than the adhesive force with respect to the outer label portion, so that when the peeling force is applied to the outer label portion, the RFID chip is attached to the outer label portion. It is an adhesive force that peels off from the inner label part while adhering to the part
The RFID chip can be separated from the main body portion of the label together with the outer label portion by separating the separation portion of the outer label portion in the overlapping portion of the label from the other portion of the label. To do.

  By configuring as described above, the label is circulated so as to overlap the trunk of the container over one round, and the ID tag sandwiched between the labels is difficult to peel off from the container and can be protected from scratches. It becomes possible. Further, by overlapping, it is possible to suppress the lifting of the ID tag even for a small-diameter container. From the ID tag attached to the container, information such as the contents of the container is read by a machine to manage the product. The RFID chip label of the present invention can also be used for drug containers (for example, ampoules and vials).

  Further, when the separation part is separated, the ID tag is attached to the separation part due to a difference between the adhesive force to the inner and outer label parts of the ID tag, and the ID tag is separated as a separation part together with the separation part. This difference in adhesive force can be different, for example, by changing the type between strong and weak adhesives, or using the same adhesive while applying or coating a material that promotes peeling, such as silicon, or the same. Some glueing may be applied to one side while using an adhesive. The separation part can be cut off if formed by a sewing machine part or the like. Thereby, a used container and an ID tag can be collected separately. Moreover, it can re-stick by apply | coating an adhesive etc. to the back surface of a isolation | separation part, an ID tag can be reused, and it can re-attach easily without apply | coating an adhesive etc.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the RFID chip includes a display unit on the surface,
At least the separation part of the label is transparent,
When the label is attached to the container so as to overlap, the display part can be seen through because the separation part is transparent.

  By checking the information on both the ID tag and the display unit, product management can be performed more accurately. The display portion can be protected by overlapping. Even when the ID tag or the ID tag reading machine is defective and the information cannot be read, the separation part can be seen through, so that the medicine information can be confirmed on the display part.

In the present invention, the separation part has a rectangular shape,
The separation part is formed with a protrusion for putting a finger on the separation part.

  When separating the label affixed to the container, it can be easily removed by putting a finger on the protrusion and peeling off the separation part.

  Further, when a release layer for improving the peelability between the ID tag and the inner label portion is formed on the surface of the inner label portion to which the RFID chip is bonded, the container and the label Becomes easier to peel, and only the separation part can be easily peeled off.

  In addition, the label is made of a transparent resin, so that the inside of the container can be visually recognized even if the label wraps around the container.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1A shows an embodiment of an RFID chip label according to the present invention. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1B, the RFID chip label 1 (hereinafter referred to as label 1) is a label substrate 6 made of a transparent resin having a longitudinal shape and an adhesive applied or printed on the back surface thereof. It is comprised by the agent layer 7 and the information part 53. FIG. Further, although not shown in the drawings, it is desired that the label for drug management has an opaque label or a high visibility equivalent thereto. For this reason, the background color (particularly white) is passed through the label substrate 6 made of a transparent resin. A colored layer may be provided in the lower layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 7 (except for the cut-off portion 22) so as to give The label base 6 is formed with a separation portion 22 (by a cut line or the like) so that it can be separated from the label base 6. Further, a portion where the information portion 53 is arranged, in other words, an overlapped inner label portion (hereinafter referred to as a tag placement portion 21) is provided. The separation part 22 is formed with a protrusion 3 for placing a finger on the separation part 22. A non-adhesive layer (not shown) made of, for example, ink may be formed on the back surface of the protrusion 3 so as not to adhere when a finger is applied.

  The information part 53 prints the weak adhesive layer 55 for making it adhere | attach on the label base material 6 (tag arrangement | positioning part 21), the ID tag 5 into which medicine information was input, and medicine information, as shown in FIG.1 (c). Or it is comprised by the surface base material 52 filled in. When the overlap was applied, a difference in adhesive force to be peeled off by the weak adhesive layer 55 was provided. Here, the drug information refers to information such as a drug name, a manufacturing number, an expiration date, and an internal capacity, and a code (a display of these information in a barcode or the like).

  For example, the label 1 is attached and used so as to go around the cylindrical drug container 11 shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, the label 1 starts to be wound around the drug container 11 from one end including the tag placement portion 21, makes a round, and the separation portion 22 includes the tag placement portion 21 (including the information portion 53). (See also the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 (a)). More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the information unit 53 is pasted so as to be sandwiched between the tag placement unit 21 and the separation unit 22. Since the label 1 is firmly affixed to the container, there is no possibility that the information part 53 is peeled off. Moreover, the label base material 6 is stuck even after separation (see FIG. 3C), and the information part 53 is protected from external impacts and scratches.

  If at least the separation part 22 of the label substrate 6 is made of a transparent resin (see also FIG. 2), the drug information printed on the surface substrate 52 is displayed on the surface of the container.

  Moreover, the contents (drug | medicine) of the chemical | medical agent container 11 can be visually recognized now through a label by being made of transparent resin. That is, since the medicine container 11 is usually made of glass, the medicine can be visually recognized through the glass. In addition, when a colored layer is provided on the label substrate 6, a region where no colored layer is provided may be provided together with the separating portion 22 so that the drug container 11 can be visually recognized. Moreover, since the circumference | surroundings of a container are stuck with the label base material 6, it is also possible to protect the chemical | medical agent container 11. FIG.

  In addition, as said transparent resin, polyethylene, a polypropylene, a polyethylene terephthalate, a polystyrene etc. are used suitably, for example.

  The label 1 described above is shipped to the hospital in a state of being affixed to the medicine container 11. By reading the drug information of both the ID tag 5 and the surface base material 52, accurate product management becomes possible.

  A method for collecting the used label 1 will be described with reference to FIG. From FIG. 4A, the protrusion 3 is picked with a finger, and the cut-out portion 22 is cut along a cut line or perforation. As shown in FIG. 4B, the separation part 22 is peeled off, and the ID tag 5 is adhered to the tag placement part 21 by the weak adhesive layer 55 (see also FIG. 1 and FIG. 3). It adheres to the strong pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 7 and is peeled together with the separating portion 22. When the separation unit 2 is completely peeled off, the tag placement unit 21 appears in the region of the separation unit 2 as shown in FIG. Thus, the medicine container 11 and the separation unit 2 can be collected separately. Alternatively, the label 1 (separation part 22) can be used in the same manner as before it is attached to the container again by the adhesive force and separated (see FIG. 2A).

  FIG. 5A shows a perspective view of the separation part 2 from which the separation part 22 has been peeled off. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the separation unit 2 can be collected in a state including the information unit 53, and since it is protected by a label base material or the like if it is put out in the collection place as it is, the ID tag 5 in the information unit 53 There is little risk of scratching. Further, the ID tag 5 can be recovered by peeling off the surface base material 52 of the information portion 53 from the separated separation portion 2. Moreover, as shown in FIG.5 (b), in order to make it easy to peel off the isolation | separation part 2, you may give the silicon | silicone process 8 etc. between the tag arrangement | positioning part 21 surface and the ID tag 5 back surface, and may improve peelability.

  Next, several other embodiments of the present invention will be described. Here, the same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the RFID chip label 1 a of the present invention may be formed by aligning the end of the separation part 22 with the end of the label substrate 6. That is, when the RFID chip label 1a is attached to the container, the label inner end of the tag placement portion 21 and the label outer end of the separation portion 22 are attached together. Thereby, the double sticking to a container becomes only the tag arrangement | positioning part 21 part, and it also becomes possible to eliminate the waste of a label end.

  In FIG. 6B, the RFID chip label 1b is composed of a label without the protrusions 3 which is in the label of FIG. If it does in this way, it will be formed simply without the projection 3. When the separation part 22 is peeled off, it may be peeled off along the cut line.

  In FIG. 6C, the RFID chip label 1c has a wider width of the separating portion 22 than the tag placement portion 21, thereby covering the information portion 53 and the tag placement portion 21 more. Although not shown, the cross-sectional view of the separated separation portion 2 has a shape in which both end portions of the separation portion 22 in FIG.

  In FIG. 6D, the medicine information is printed on the separation part 22 of the RFID chip label 1d. When attached to the container, since the separating part 22 comes out to the front, the medicine information on the surface base material 52 may or may not be printed (see also FIG. 1C). In this case, the separating portion 22 is preferably made of a white resin rather than a transparent resin.

  FIG. 6E shows a cross-sectional view of the RFID chip label 1e. The RFID chip label 1e has a shape in which the display unit 52 of the information unit 53 is attached to the lower layer of the separating unit 22, in other words, the adhesive layer 7 in the separating unit 22 part. Thereby, the weak adhesion layer 55 of the information part 53 may or may not be provided (see also FIG. 1C).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6F, in the RFID chip label 1f of the present invention, since the tag placement portion 21 remains in the container after the separation portion 2 is peeled off, it is obvious that the tag placement portion 21 has been printed and peeled off. I made it.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6F, the RFID chip label 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned combination or the like.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these forms, In the range of the same identity as the invention embodied in these, it can change suitably and can implement. For example, the RFID chip label of the present invention can be applied to pharmaceuticals such as tablets, capsules, fine granules, granules, powders, liquids, and containers containing contents other than pharmaceuticals (for example, polygonal containers).
