Description

本願発明は、荷物などを運搬するドーリー、キャリー、台車といった物流搬送機器にICタグが取り付けられたICタグ付き物流搬送機器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a logistics transport device with an IC tag in which an IC tag is attached to a logistics transport device such as a dolly, a carry, or a carriage that transports luggage.

数多くの荷物が集められかつ配送される荷物の集配場では、場内の荷物移動のために物流搬送機器が利用される。物流搬送機器で荷物を移動する際、通常、荷物の内容、配送先、荷物の取り扱い条件、配送日時といった荷物情報を記録したものとともに移動する。これは目的の場所(目的の配送車や予定された保管場所など)まで正しく荷物を運ぶためであるが、従来この荷物情報の記録手段としては荷札、伝票、ホワイトボードなどへ手書きすることが多く、面倒な手間が生じるばかりか乱雑な文字による読み間違いからミスも生じていた。   In a package collection / delivery place where a large number of packages are collected and delivered, logistics transport equipment is used to move the packages within the venue. When a package is moved by a logistics transport device, the package is usually moved together with a package of recorded package information such as package contents, delivery destination, package handling conditions, and delivery date and time. This is to carry the baggage correctly to the target location (the target delivery vehicle, planned storage location, etc.). Conventionally, as a means of recording this baggage information, it is often handwritten on a tag, slip, whiteboard, etc. In addition to troublesome work, mistakes were also caused by misreading messy characters.

そこで昨今では、特許文献1のように物流搬送機器にICタグ(RFID:Radio Frequency IDentification)を設置し、このICタグに必要な情報を記録させたうえで物流搬送機器の荷物を移動することも行われている。ICタグは「電子荷札」と呼ばれることもあるように荷物そのものに取り付けられることもあるが、複数の荷物に対してまとめて荷物情報を記録させる場合、荷物そのものではなく荷物を載せる物流搬送機器の方にICタグを取り付けることもある。   Therefore, in recent years, as in Patent Document 1, an IC tag (RFID: Radio Frequency IDentification) is installed in the physical distribution equipment, and after the necessary information is recorded in the IC tag, the package of the physical distribution equipment can be moved. Has been done. The IC tag is sometimes attached to the package itself as it is sometimes called an “electronic tag”. However, when package information is recorded for a plurality of packages together, it is not the package itself but the logistics transport equipment that loads the package. An IC tag may be attached to the side.

(実施形態1)
本願発明のICタグ付き物流搬送機器の一実施形態を図に基づいて説明する。
図1は、二台のドーリー1を裏向きにして重ね置いた状態を表す図である。このドーリー1は荷物を載せる荷台2と車輪3からなり、通常は手押し用のハンドルが取り付けられていないものであるが、手押し用のハンドルを取り付け可能なものとすることもできる。
なお、本実施形態では物流搬送機器としてドーリー1を例に挙げて説明しているが、その他、キャリーや台車といった手押し用のハンドルを折りたたむことができる物流搬送機器の場合であっても構わない。
(Embodiment 1)
An embodiment of a physical distribution equipment with an IC tag according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a state in which two dollies 1 are placed facing each other. The dolly 1 includes a loading platform 2 and a wheel 3 on which a load is placed. Usually, a handle for pushing a hand is not attached, but a handle for pushing a hand can be attached.
In the present embodiment, the dolly 1 is described as an example of the physical distribution equipment, but other physical distribution equipment such as a carry or a carriage that can fold a handwheel handle may be used.

ドーリー1の荷台2は平面視長方形を呈し、荷台2の底面四隅にはそれぞれ車輪3が固定されている。この車輪3は、鉛直軸周りに回転できないいわゆる固定式の車輪や、鉛直軸周りに回転可能な自在式の車輪とすることができる。また、固定式であっても自在式であっても、車輪にストッパ機能を設けることもできる。 The loading platform 2 of the dolly 1 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and wheels 3 are fixed to the bottom corners of the loading platform 2. The wheel 3 can be a so-called fixed wheel that cannot rotate around the vertical axis, or a universal wheel that can rotate around the vertical axis. Moreover, a stopper function can be provided on the wheel, whether it is a fixed type or a free type.

図1に示すように、ドーリー1を重ねて置く場合、裏向きにして荷台2の長手方向と短手方向を交差させる。具体的には、下のドーリー1を荷台2の長手方向が横向きとなるように置くと、その上に載せるドーリー1は荷台2の長手方向が縦向きとなるように置く。さらに上に載せるドーリー2は荷台2の長手方向が横向きとなるように置き、以降、荷台2の長手方向を縦向き、横向きの順で繰り返す。これによって車輪が邪魔にならずに重ねられていき、ドーリー2を置くための鉛直方向の設置スペースが軽減されることとなる。
ドーリー1を図1に示すように重ねて置くと、車輪3によって滑りだすことなく安定して重ね置けるが、これに限らず、図8に示すようにドーリー1を通常使用する姿勢のまま順次重ね置くこともできる。この場合、図に示すように上下のドーリー1の長手方向と短手方向をそれぞれ揃えることができる。その他、ドーリー1を裏返し、重ねられる上下ドーリー1の長手方向と短手方向を揃えて置くこともできるし、通常使用する姿勢のまま上下ドーリー1の長手方向と短手方向を交互に向けて重ね置くこともできる。
As shown in FIG. 1, when the dolly 1 is placed on top of each other, the longitudinal direction and the short direction of the cargo bed 2 are crossed so that they face down. Specifically, when the lower dolly 1 is placed so that the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 2 is horizontal, the dolly 1 placed thereon is placed so that the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 2 is vertical. Further, the dolly 2 to be placed thereon is placed so that the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 2 is horizontal, and thereafter, the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 2 is repeated in the order of vertical and horizontal orientation. As a result, the wheels are stacked without getting in the way, and the installation space in the vertical direction for placing the dolly 2 is reduced.
If the dolly 1 is stacked as shown in FIG. 1, it can be stably stacked without slipping out by the wheels 3, but this is not limiting, and the dolly 1 is stacked in the normal use posture as shown in FIG. 8. It can also be placed. In this case, as shown in the figure, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the upper and lower dollies 1 can be aligned. In addition, the dolly 1 can be turned upside down, and the upper and lower dollies 1 can be placed with the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction aligned, and the upper and lower dollies 1 are alternately stacked with the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction alternately facing each other. It can also be placed.

荷台2の底面には、この底面形状を構成する外縁線(つまり長方形の四辺)のうち、長手方向の外縁線(以下、「長辺」という)に沿って一箇所に、短手方向の外縁線(以下、「短辺」という)に沿って一箇所に、それぞれICタグ4が取り付けられている。このように、荷台2の底面にICタグ4を取り付けることで、荷台2上に載せる荷物には邪魔にならず、また、ICタグ4を荷台2の長辺と短辺に配置することで、進行方向と進行方向に対して直角方向からの通信にも対応することができる。 On the bottom surface of the loading platform 2, the outer edge in the short direction is provided at one place along the outer edge line (hereinafter referred to as “long side”) in the longitudinal direction among the outer edge lines (that is, the four sides of the rectangle) constituting the bottom surface shape. Each IC tag 4 is attached to one place along a line (hereinafter referred to as “short side”). In this way, by attaching the IC tag 4 to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2, the load placed on the loading platform 2 does not get in the way, and by placing the IC tag 4 on the long side and the short side of the loading platform 2, Communication from a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction and the traveling direction can also be supported.

ICタグ4は、リードオンリー型(読み取り専用)やリードライト型(書き込み可能)を選択することが可能である。リードライト型を選択した場合には、ドーリー1を読取機の前に停止させると、読取機から必要な情報をICタグ4に記録させることができる。またICタグ4には電源を備えたアクティブ型と、電源を備えないパッシブ型があり、いずれとも選択できることは言うまでもないが、アクティブ型はICタグ4自ら情報を発信することができて通信距離もパッシブ型に比べ長くなるという特長がある。
また読取機が読み取りと書き込みが可能ないわゆるリーダー/ライターの場合であっても、読み取り専用のリーダーであっても、ICタグ4は対応可能であるが、読取機をリーダーとした場合にはICタグ4に情報を記録させることはできない。
The IC tag 4 can select a read-only type (read only) or a read / write type (writable). When the read / write type is selected, necessary information can be recorded on the IC tag 4 from the reader by stopping the dolly 1 before the reader. The IC tag 4 includes an active type with a power supply and a passive type without a power supply. Needless to say, the active type can transmit information by itself, and the communication distance is also long. It has the feature that it is longer than the passive type.
Even if the reader is a so-called reader / writer capable of reading and writing, or the reader is a read-only reader, the IC tag 4 can be used. The tag 4 cannot record information.

図1では、ICタグ4を荷台2の一つの長辺と一つの短辺にそれぞれ一箇所配置してあるが、一つの長辺や一つの短辺にそれぞれ二箇所以上配置してもよいし、長辺と短辺を組み合わせれば二つの長辺や二つの短辺に配置することもできる。
また、本実施形態では荷台2の形状を平面視長方形としているが、ICタグ4が荷台形状の外縁線に沿って異なる2方向以上に配置されれば、長方形の四隅を曲線としたものや、多角形のものや、他の任意の形状とすることができる。
In FIG. 1, one IC tag 4 is arranged on each of the long side and one short side of the loading platform 2. However, two or more IC tags 4 may be arranged on one long side or one short side. If the long side and the short side are combined, they can be arranged on two long sides or two short sides.
Further, in the present embodiment, the shape of the loading platform 2 is rectangular in plan view, but if the IC tag 4 is arranged in two or more different directions along the outer edge line of the loading platform shape, the rectangular corners are curved, It can be polygonal or any other shape.

図2は、ICタグ4を支持具5に取り付けた状態を示す図である。支持具5は、ICタグ4を取り付けるためのICタグ取り付け材6と、台車に取り付けるための荷台取り付け材7からなり、ICタグ取り付け材6、荷台取り付け材7ともに細長い薄板状のものであり、これら2枚の板状材によって断面視L形の形状を構成している。支持具5は市販の山形鋼、I型鋼、その他の形状のものを利用することができる。   FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the IC tag 4 is attached to the support 5. The support 5 is composed of an IC tag mounting material 6 for mounting the IC tag 4 and a loading platform mounting material 7 for mounting on the carriage, and both the IC tag mounting material 6 and the loading platform mounting material 7 are thin and thin plate-like, These two plate-like materials constitute an L-shaped cross-sectional view. As the support 5, commercially available angle steel, I-shaped steel, and other shapes can be used.

ICタグ4はRFID(Radio Frequency IDentificationの略で、無線を利用した非接触による自動認識技術)を利用したものであり、ICチップとアンテナの無線機能部分と、これらを包む包装部分からなる。ICチップは、集積回路(Integrated Circuit)をチップ状にしたもので情報を記憶する機能を有し、アンテナは情報を送受信するためのものである。具体的には、読取機(リーダー/ライター)から無線で情報が発信されるとアンテナがこの情報を受信してICチップに書き込まれ、ICチップで記憶された情報がアンテナから発信されて読取機によって読み込まれる。 The IC tag 4 utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification, a wireless non-contact automatic recognition technology using radio), and includes an IC chip and a radio functional part of an antenna and a packaging part that wraps them. The IC chip is an integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit) formed in a chip shape and has a function of storing information, and the antenna is used for transmitting and receiving information. Specifically, when information is transmitted wirelessly from a reader (reader / writer), the antenna receives this information and is written in the IC chip, and the information stored in the IC chip is transmitted from the antenna and read out. Read by.

図2に示すように、ICタグ4の包装部は細長い薄板状を呈し、即ちICタグ4そのものの外観も細長い薄板状を呈しており、略同形のICタグ取り付け材6に固定されている。
なお、ICタグ4の包装部は細長い薄板状に限らず、断面視円形あるいは楕円形の円盤状のもの、断面視矩形の角柱状あるいは棒状のもの、断面視円形あるいは楕円形の柱状や棒状のもの、六面体や八面体をはじめとする多面体のもの、球状あるいは半球状のものなど、種々のものを選択することができる。いずれの場合であっても、ICタグ4の前記アンテナは方向を選ばず送受信(又は受信)することができるので、包装部を構成する全ての面から送受信(又は受信)することができる。ただし、金属面に対しては送受信(又は受信)感度が劣るため、たとえば荷台2底面が金属製の場合、包装部を構成する全ての面のうち荷台2底面に近接している面は送受信(又は受信)が難しく、それ以外の面からは送受信(又は受信)できることとなる。
図2では、ICタグ4は2箇所でボルト固定されているが、接着等他の固定方法でも構わない。
ICタグ4をICタグ取り付け材6に固定した状態で、荷台取り付け材7を荷台2の底面に固定する。この固定方法も、図に示すボルト固定に限らず、接着や溶接など他の固定方法でも構わない。その結果、図1に示すように、ICタグ4の受信面(最も面積が大きい面)が荷台2底面の下方に垂下した状態で、ICタグ4はドーリー1に取り付けられる。
As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging portion of the IC tag 4 has an elongated thin plate shape, that is, the appearance of the IC tag 4 itself also has an elongated thin plate shape, and is fixed to an IC tag attachment member 6 having substantially the same shape.
The packaging portion of the IC tag 4 is not limited to a thin and thin plate shape, but has a circular or elliptical disk shape in cross section, a rectangular or bar shape in rectangular shape in cross section, a circular or elliptical column shape or rod shape in cross section. Various types such as a polyhedron, a hexahedron and an octahedron, a spherical shape or a hemispherical shape can be selected. In any case, since the antenna of the IC tag 4 can transmit / receive (or receive) regardless of the direction, it can be transmitted / received (or received) from all surfaces constituting the packaging portion. However, since the transmission / reception (or reception) sensitivity is inferior to the metal surface, for example, when the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 is made of metal, the surface adjacent to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 among all the surfaces constituting the packaging portion is transmitted and received ( (Or reception) is difficult, and transmission / reception (or reception) can be performed from other aspects.
In FIG. 2, the IC tag 4 is bolted at two locations, but other fixing methods such as adhesion may be used.
With the IC tag 4 fixed to the IC tag mounting material 6, the loading platform mounting material 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2. This fixing method is not limited to the bolt fixing shown in the figure, and other fixing methods such as adhesion and welding may be used. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the IC tag 4 is attached to the dolly 1 in a state where the receiving surface (surface having the largest area) of the IC tag 4 hangs down below the bottom surface of the loading platform 2.

このとき、ICタグ4の長手方向が長辺又は短辺に沿うように(略平行となるように)、且つ、ICタグ4の受信面が長辺又は短辺といった外縁線よりも若干の隙間をあけた内側(荷台2の中心側)となるように、ICタグ4は配置されている。このように、ICタグ4の受信面を外縁線よりも内側に配置することで、ドーリー1を壁などの障害物に衝突させた場合でも、ICタグ4は直接衝撃を受けない。 At this time, the longitudinal direction of the IC tag 4 is along the long side or the short side (so as to be substantially parallel), and the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 is slightly spaced from the outer edge line such as the long side or the short side. The IC tag 4 is arranged so as to be on the inner side (the center side of the loading platform 2) with a gap. As described above, the IC tag 4 is not directly impacted even when the dolly 1 is collided with an obstacle such as a wall by disposing the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 on the inner side of the outer edge line.

ICタグ4を荷台2の長辺と短辺に配置する方法としては、二つのICタグ4を隣接する二つの車輪3にそれぞれ接近するように配置したり、図3に示すように二つのICタグ4を対角する二つの車輪3にそれぞれ接近するように配置したり、図4に示すように二つのICタグ4を一つの車輪3に接近するように配置したり、あるいは、三つ以上のICタグ4を二つ以上の車輪3に接近するように配置したり、種々の配置を選択することができる。
このように、車輪3に接近してICタグ4を配置することによって、図1に示すようにドーリー1を裏返して長手方向と短手方向の向きを交互に重ね置く場合であっても、上に載るドーリー1が下のドーリー1のICタグ4に接触せず、下のドーリー1のICタグ4の損傷や落下が防止される。尤も図8に示すように、通常使用する姿勢のまま長手方向と短手方向を揃えて順次重ね置く場合は、重ねられるドーリー1の間に相当の隙間ができるので、必ずしも車輪3に接近してICタグ4を配置する必要はないが、もちろん車輪3に接近してICタグ4を配置しても構わない。
なお、図4に示すように平面視L形にICタグ4を配置する場合は、平面視L形となるように連続したICタグ4や支持具5としたり、2つのICタグ4や支持具5を平面視L形となるように組み合わせて配置したり、任意に選択することができる。
As a method of arranging the IC tag 4 on the long side and the short side of the loading platform 2, two IC tags 4 are arranged so as to approach two adjacent wheels 3 respectively, or two IC tags 4 as shown in FIG. The tag 4 is arranged so as to approach each of the two wheels 3 on opposite sides, the two IC tags 4 are arranged so as to approach one wheel 3 as shown in FIG. 4, or three or more The IC tag 4 can be arranged so as to approach two or more wheels 3, or various arrangements can be selected.
Thus, by placing the IC tag 4 close to the wheel 3, even if the dolly 1 is turned over and the orientations in the longitudinal direction and the short direction are alternately stacked as shown in FIG. The dolly 1 mounted on the lower dolly 1 does not contact the IC tag 4 of the lower dolly 1, and the IC tag 4 of the lower dolly 1 is prevented from being damaged or dropped. However, as shown in FIG. 8, if the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction are aligned in the normal use posture, a considerable gap is formed between the stacked dollies 1, so that it is not necessarily close to the wheel 3. Although it is not necessary to arrange the IC tag 4, the IC tag 4 may of course be arranged close to the wheel 3.
When the IC tag 4 is arranged in an L shape in plan view as shown in FIG. 4, the IC tag 4 and the support tool 5 are continuous so as to be in the L shape in plan view, or two IC tags 4 and support tools are used. 5 can be arranged in combination so as to be L-shaped in plan view, or can be arbitrarily selected.

ICタグ4を自在式(鉛直軸周りに回転可能)の車輪3に接近させる場合は、車輪の回転を干渉しない配置となるようにICタグ4を荷台2に取り付ける。具体的には、図5に示すように自在式の車輪3のブラケット8の上端(図では下端)とICタグ4の下端(図では上端)との間にクリアランスを設けることで、ICタグ4が車輪3の回転を阻害しない配置とする。
なお図5では、ICタグ4を車輪3の取り付け具9に隣接させるように荷台2の底面に直接取り付けているが、ブラケット8の上端とICタグ4の下端との間にクリアランスを設けることができれば、図9に示すように取り付け具9の下方(図では上方)に直接取り付けても構わない。
もちろん、ICタグ4を固定式の車輪3に接近させる場合であっても、車輪3の取り付け具9に隣接させるように荷台2の底面にICタグ4を直接取り付けることも、取り付け具9の下方にICタグ4を直接取り付けることもできる。
When the IC tag 4 is brought close to the free wheel 3 (rotatable around the vertical axis), the IC tag 4 is attached to the loading platform 2 so that the rotation of the wheel does not interfere. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, by providing a clearance between the upper end (lower end in the figure) of the bracket 8 of the free wheel 3 and the lower end (upper end in the figure) of the IC tag 4, the IC tag 4 Is arranged so as not to inhibit the rotation of the wheel 3.
In FIG. 5, the IC tag 4 is directly attached to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 so as to be adjacent to the attachment 9 of the wheel 3, but a clearance may be provided between the upper end of the bracket 8 and the lower end of the IC tag 4. If possible, you may attach directly to the downward direction (in the figure upper direction) of the attachment tool 9 as shown in FIG.
Of course, even when the IC tag 4 is brought close to the fixed wheel 3, the IC tag 4 can be directly attached to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 so as to be adjacent to the attachment 9 of the wheel 3. The IC tag 4 can also be directly attached to.

(実施形態1の使用例)
本実施形態におけるICタグ付き物流搬送機器を用いて、荷物集配場内で荷物移動を行う場合について、以下その一例を示す。
荷物集配場に集められた荷物は、それぞれ予め定められた搬送車に適切に積み込まれなければならない。そこで、場内で荷物を運搬する者(以下、「運搬者」という)は、目的の搬送車とこれに積むべき荷物を把握したうえで、運搬作業を開始する。
(Usage example of Embodiment 1)
An example of the case where the goods are moved in the luggage collection area using the IC tag-equipped physical distribution equipment in the present embodiment will be described below.
The packages collected at the baggage collection / delivery site must be appropriately loaded on a predetermined transport vehicle. Therefore, a person who transports the luggage in the hall (hereinafter referred to as “transporter”) grasps the target transport vehicle and the luggage to be loaded thereon, and then starts the transportation work.

運搬者は、ICタグ4を備えたドーリー1を指令地点に持っていく。この指令地点では、読取機(リーダー/ライター)と電子計算機(以下、パソコンという)が設置されている。読取機は壁面に埋め込まれており、運搬者はこの読取機の前にドーリー1を停めて情報の書き込みを待つ。なお読取機は壁面に埋め込まれる場合に限らず、ゲート式のものを設置したり、ハンディタイプの読取機としたり、その他種々の態様を選択することができる。
ここで待機している指令者は、パソコンを操作することで読取機を介して通信し、運搬すべき荷物や目的の搬送車など必要な荷物情報をドーリー1のICタグ4に書き込む。
The carrier takes the dolly 1 equipped with the IC tag 4 to the command point. At this command point, a reader (reader / writer) and an electronic computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer) are installed. The reader is embedded in the wall, and the carrier stops the dolly 1 in front of the reader and waits for information to be written. Note that the reader is not limited to being embedded in the wall surface, and a gate-type reader, a handy-type reader, or other various modes can be selected.
The commander waiting here communicates through the reader by operating the personal computer, and writes necessary baggage information such as the baggage to be transported and the target transport vehicle into the IC tag 4 of the dolly 1.

運搬者は、ICタグ4に記録された荷物情報に基づいて適宜荷物をドーリー1に積み込んでいく。この際、運搬者がICタグ4に記録された荷物情報を確認するために、ICタグ4から情報を読み込んで表示させることができる携帯用モニタ(例えばPDA等のモバイルコンピューター)を携行すると、より好適である。 The transporter appropriately loads the packages into the dolly 1 based on the package information recorded on the IC tag 4. At this time, if the carrier carries a portable monitor (for example, a mobile computer such as a PDA) that can read and display information from the IC tag 4 in order to confirm the package information recorded on the IC tag 4, Is preferred.

運搬者は、全ての荷物を積み終えると目的の搬送車までドーリー1を運搬する。搬送車待機地点では、計画どおり荷物が積み込まれているか否かの確認作業を行うこともできる。具体的には、次のような手順で行うことができる。
まず読取機でドーリー1のICタグ4から計画荷物情報を読み取り、予め設置されたパソコンに伝送する。次に、ドーリー1に載せられた個々の荷物に貼付されているICタグを、ハンディタイプの読取機でそれぞれ読み取ってパソコンに伝送する。これにより、計画荷物情報と実際に積み込まれた荷物情報を照らし合わせることで、適切な積み荷となっているか否かを判断することができる。
When the carrier finishes loading all the packages, the carrier carries the dolly 1 to the intended transport vehicle. At the transport vehicle standby point, it is possible to check whether or not the packages are loaded as planned. Specifically, it can be performed by the following procedure.
First, the planned package information is read from the IC tag 4 of the dolly 1 with a reader and transmitted to a personal computer installed in advance. Next, the IC tags attached to the individual packages placed on the dolly 1 are each read by a handy type reader and transmitted to a personal computer. Accordingly, it is possible to determine whether or not the cargo is appropriately loaded by comparing the planned baggage information with the actually loaded baggage information.

前記確認作業を経て、運搬者はドーリー1に載せている全ての荷物を搬送車に積み替える。この積み替え作業を終えると、運搬者は再び指令地点に戻り、一連の作業を繰り返す。 After the confirmation work, the transporter reloads all the packages placed on the dolly 1 onto the transport vehicle. After completing this transshipment work, the transporter returns to the command point again and repeats a series of work.

(実施形態2)
本願発明のICタグ付き物流搬送機器の他の実施形態を図に基づいて説明する。
この実施形態は、ICタグ4の受信面が前後2方向から通信できるようにICタグ4を配置した実施形態を説明するための実施形態であって、基本的構造等は実施形態1と共通する。
(Embodiment 2)
Another embodiment of the physical distribution equipment with an IC tag according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
This embodiment is an embodiment for explaining an embodiment in which the IC tag 4 is arranged so that the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 can communicate from the front and rear directions, and the basic structure and the like are common to the first embodiment. .

図6は、本実施形態の支持具5を示す図である。図に示すように支持具5は、ICタグ4を取り付けるためのICタグ取り付け材6と、台車に取り付けるための荷台取り付け材7からなり、ICタグ取り付け材6、荷台取り付け材7ともに細長い薄板状のものであり、これら2枚の板状材によって断面視L形の形状を構成している。このICタグ取り付け材6には開口部10が設けられており、このICタグ取り付け材6にICタグ4を取り付けても、開口部の効果で前後どちらの方向からも通信することができる。 FIG. 6 is a view showing the support 5 of the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the support 5 includes an IC tag attachment material 6 for attaching the IC tag 4 and a carrier attachment material 7 for attachment to the carriage, and both the IC tag attachment material 6 and the carrier attachment material 7 are in the shape of an elongated thin plate. These two plate-shaped materials constitute an L-shaped cross-sectional view. The opening part 10 is provided in the IC tag attaching member 6, and even if the IC tag 4 is attached to the IC tag attaching member 6, it is possible to communicate from both the front and rear directions due to the effect of the opening part.

ICタグ4をICタグ取り付け材6に固定した状態で、荷台取り付け材7を荷台2の底面に固定する。この固定方法は、ボルト固定、接着、溶接など種々の固定方法を選択できる。その結果、図1に示すように、ICタグ4の受信面(最も面積が大きい面)が荷台2底面下方に垂下した状態で、ICタグ4はドーリー1に取り付けられる。 With the IC tag 4 fixed to the IC tag mounting material 6, the loading platform mounting material 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2. As this fixing method, various fixing methods such as bolt fixing, adhesion, and welding can be selected. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the IC tag 4 is attached to the dolly 1 in a state where the receiving surface (the surface having the largest area) of the IC tag 4 hangs down below the bottom surface of the loading platform 2.

ICタグ取り付け材6の長手方向に立設された前面(荷台取り付け材7が取り付けられていない面)側にICタグ4を取り付けた場合(図2と同様に取り付けた場合)、前面方向からの通信はもちろん、その反対方向である背面方向からの通信に対しても、開口部10の効果によりICタグ4の受信面が露出しているので、ICタグ4に内蔵されたアンテナが通信に対して反応しICタグ4は送受信可能となる。 When the IC tag 4 is attached to the front surface (the surface on which the loading platform attachment material 7 is not attached) of the IC tag attachment material 6 (when attached in the same manner as in FIG. 2), Since the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 is exposed due to the effect of the opening 10, not only for communication but also for communication from the back direction, which is the opposite direction, the antenna built in the IC tag 4 is used for communication. The IC tag 4 can transmit and receive.

また、ICタグ取り付け材6の背面(前面の裏面)側にICタグ4を取り付けた場合も同様に、背面方向からの通信はもちろん、前面方向からの通信に対しても、開口部10の効果によりICタグ4の受信面が露出しているので、ICタグ4に内蔵されたアンテナが通信に対して反応しICタグ4は送受信可能となる。さらに開口部10の中にICタグ4を嵌め込むように取り付けても、やはり開口部の効果で前後方向からの通信に対してICタグ4は送受信可能となる。 Similarly, when the IC tag 4 is attached to the back surface (the back surface of the front surface) of the IC tag attachment material 6, the effect of the opening 10 is not only for communication from the back surface direction but also for communication from the front surface direction. Thus, the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 is exposed, so that the antenna built in the IC tag 4 reacts to communication and the IC tag 4 can transmit and receive. Further, even if the IC tag 4 is attached so as to be fitted into the opening 10, the IC tag 4 can transmit and receive for communication from the front and rear directions due to the effect of the opening.

なお、ICタグ4がその受信面の前面及び背面から送受信可能となるよう配置されることができれば、他の方法でICタグ4をドーリー1に固定してもよい。例えば、開口部10に代えてICタグ取り付け材6をフレーム形状として立設するICタグ4を支持固定してもよいし、あるいはICタグ取り付け材6を設ける代わりに、荷台取り付け材7に溝状の構造を設けて、この溝にICタグ4を支持固定してもよい。 Note that the IC tag 4 may be fixed to the dolly 1 by other methods as long as the IC tag 4 can be arranged to be able to transmit and receive from the front surface and the back surface of the reception surface. For example, instead of the opening 10, the IC tag 4 may be supported and fixed so that the IC tag mounting material 6 is erected in a frame shape. The IC tag 4 may be supported and fixed in this groove.

本実施形態の場合、ICタグ4は前後2方向からの送受信が可能であるので、実施形態1のように必ずしも長辺と短辺に設ける必要はないが、もちろん長辺と短辺にそれぞれ設けてもよいし、異なる二つの長辺や異なる二つの短辺にそれぞれ設けたり、全ての長辺と短辺に設けたり、任意に選択することができることは言うまでもない。 In the case of this embodiment, since the IC tag 4 can transmit and receive in two directions, the IC tag 4 does not necessarily have to be provided on the long side and the short side as in the first embodiment. Needless to say, it may be provided on two different long sides or two different short sides, or on all long sides and short sides.

本実施形態の場合も実施形態1と同様、ドーリー1を裏返して重ね置く際に車輪3が上に載るドーリー1からICタグ4を防御しうるように、車輪3に接近してICタグ4を配置することも可能である。この場合、車輪3がICタグ4の前後方向の通信の妨げとならないように、車輪3とICタグ4が通信方向に重ならないように配置することが望ましい。 In the case of the present embodiment as well, as in the first embodiment, the IC tag 4 is moved closer to the wheel 3 so that the IC tag 4 can be protected from the dolly 1 on which the wheel 3 is placed when the dolly 1 is turned upside down. It is also possible to arrange. In this case, it is desirable to arrange the wheels 3 and the IC tag 4 so as not to overlap in the communication direction so that the wheel 3 does not interfere with the communication in the front-rear direction of the IC tag 4.

(実施形態3)
本願発明のICタグ付き物流搬送機器の他の実施形態を図に基づいて説明する。
この実施形態は、支持具5などを用いることなくICタグ4を荷台2に取り付けた実施形態を説明するための実施形態であって、基本的構造等は実施形態1と共通する。
(Embodiment 3)
Another embodiment of the physical distribution equipment with an IC tag according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
This embodiment is an embodiment for explaining an embodiment in which the IC tag 4 is attached to the loading platform 2 without using the support 5 or the like, and the basic structure and the like are common to the first embodiment.

図10は、ICタグ4を荷台2に取り付けたドーリー1を底面側から見た図である。図に示すようにICタグ4は、その受信面が荷台2底面に沿って(受信面と荷台2底面が平行に)配置されている。ICタグ4を荷台2に取り付ける方法としては、接着、溶接などによりICタグ4の受信面を荷台2に接触させて取り付ける方法や、ボルト固定などによりICタグ4の受信面を荷台2から若干浮かせて取り付ける方法など、種々の方法を選択することができる。 FIG. 10 is a view of the dolly 1 with the IC tag 4 attached to the loading platform 2 as seen from the bottom side. As shown in the figure, the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 is arranged along the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 (the receiving surface and the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 are parallel). The IC tag 4 can be attached to the loading platform 2 by attaching the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 to the loading platform 2 by adhesion or welding, or by slightly fixing the receiving surface of the IC tag 4 from the loading platform 2 by fixing the bolt. Various methods can be selected, such as mounting methods.

また図10に示すように、ドーリー1の長辺又は短辺といった外縁線よりも若干の隙間をあけた内側(荷台2の中心側)となるように、ICタグ4を配置すれば、ドーリー1を壁などの障害物に衝突させた場合でも、ICタグ4は直接衝撃を受けない。 As shown in FIG. 10, if the IC tag 4 is arranged so as to be on the inner side (center side of the loading platform 2) with a slight gap from the outer edge line such as the long side or the short side of the dolly 1, The IC tag 4 does not receive a direct impact even when it is made to collide with an obstacle such as a wall.

ICタグ4の配置態様としては、図10に示すようにICタグ4の長手方向がドーリー1の短辺に沿うように配置したり、図11に示すようにICタグ4の長手方向がドーリー1の長辺に沿うように端部材11に配置したり、図12に示すようにICタグ4の長手方向がドーリー1の長辺と略平行となるように中央部材12に配置したり、図13に示すようにICタグ4の長手方向がドーリー1の短辺と略平行となるように中央部材12に配置したり、図14に示すようにICタグ4の長手方向がドーリー1の各辺に対して斜方向となるように中央部材12に配置するなど、種々の配置を選択することができる。また、図10〜図14の配置を組み合わせて、荷台2底面の二箇所以上にICタグ4を取り付けることもできる。   As an arrangement mode of the IC tag 4, as shown in FIG. 10, the IC tag 4 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof is along the short side of the dolly 1, or as shown in FIG. 13 is arranged on the end member 11 so as to be along the long side of FIG. 12, or is arranged on the central member 12 so that the longitudinal direction of the IC tag 4 is substantially parallel to the long side of the dolly 1, as shown in FIG. The IC tag 4 is arranged on the central member 12 so that the longitudinal direction of the IC tag 4 is substantially parallel to the short side of the dolly 1, or the longitudinal direction of the IC tag 4 is on each side of the dolly 1 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, various arrangements such as arrangement on the central member 12 so as to be oblique can be selected. Moreover, the IC tag 4 can also be attached to two or more places on the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 by combining the arrangements of FIGS.

荷台2底面の一箇所にICタグ4を取り付ける場合、ICタグ4は異なる二以上の方向に対して、受信可能又は送受信可能であるものとすることが望ましい。これにより、本願発明のICタグ付き物流搬送機器も、二以上の方向からの送受信に対して精度よく反応することができることとなる。
ただし前記したように、ICタグ4の前記アンテナは方向を選ばず送受信(又は受信)することができるので、通常であれば、ICタグ4の包装部を構成する全ての面から送受信(又は受信)することが可能であり、その結果、異なる二以上の方向に対して、受信可能又は送受信可能となる。なお荷台2底面が金属製の場合には、包装部を構成する面のうち、荷台2底面に近接している面を除く二面以上が受信面となれば、異なる二以上の方向に対して、受信可能又は送受信可能となる。
When the IC tag 4 is attached to one place on the bottom surface of the loading platform 2, it is desirable that the IC tag 4 be capable of receiving or transmitting / receiving in two or more different directions. Thereby, the physical distribution equipment with an IC tag according to the present invention can also react accurately to transmission / reception from two or more directions.
However, as described above, since the antenna of the IC tag 4 can transmit and receive (or receive) regardless of the direction, it is normally transmitted and received (or received) from all surfaces constituting the packaging portion of the IC tag 4. As a result, reception or transmission / reception is possible in two or more different directions. In addition, when the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 is made of metal, if two or more surfaces excluding the surface close to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 among the surfaces constituting the packaging portion are reception surfaces, the two or more different directions Can be received or transmitted / received.

図11に示すようにICタグ4をドーリー1の端部材11に配置する場合、端部材11の面と中央部材12の面に段差をつけて、ドーリー1を通常使用する姿勢で端部材11の面の方を床から高くしておけば、ドーリー1の長手方向と短手方向を交互に重ね置く場合であっても、上に載るドーリー1が下のドーリー1に取り付けられたICタグ4に接触せず、下のドーリー1のICタグ4の損傷や落下が防止される。   When the IC tag 4 is disposed on the end member 11 of the dolly 1 as shown in FIG. 11, a step is provided between the surface of the end member 11 and the surface of the central member 12, and the end member 11 is used in a posture in which the dolly 1 is normally used. If the surface is raised from the floor, even if the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the dolly 1 are alternately stacked, the upper dolly 1 is attached to the IC tag 4 attached to the lower dolly 1. The contact and the IC tag 4 of the lower dolly 1 are prevented from being damaged or dropped.

同様に、図12〜図14に示すようにICタグ4をドーリー1の中央部材12に配置する場合、端部材11の面と中央部材12の面に段差をつけて、ドーリー1を通常使用する姿勢で中央部材12の面の方を床から高くしておけば、ドーリー1の長手方向と短手方向を交互に重ね置く場合であっても、上に載るドーリー1が下のドーリー1に取り付けられたICタグ4に接触せず、下のドーリー1のICタグ4の損傷や落下が防止される。   Similarly, when the IC tag 4 is disposed on the central member 12 of the dolly 1 as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the dolly 1 is normally used by providing a step between the surface of the end member 11 and the surface of the central member 12. If the surface of the central member 12 is raised from the floor in a posture, the upper and lower dollies 1 are attached to the lower dollie 1 even when the longitudinal direction and the short direction of the dollies 1 are alternately stacked. The IC tag 4 of the lower dolly 1 is prevented from being damaged or dropped without coming into contact with the IC tag 4.

また、図15に示すように通常使用する姿勢のまま長手方向と短手方向をそろえて順次重ね置く場合、重ねられるドーリー1の間に相当の隙間ができるので、ICタグ4の厚みを考えれば、上に載るドーリー1が下のドーリー1のICタグ4に接触せず、下のドーリー1に取り付けられたICタグ4の損傷や落下が防止される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the case where the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction are aligned in the normal use posture as shown in FIG. 15, a considerable gap is formed between the stacked dollies 1. The dolly 1 placed on the upper side does not come into contact with the IC tag 4 of the lower dolly 1, and the IC tag 4 attached to the lower dolly 1 is prevented from being damaged or dropped.

本実施形態では、ICタグ4をその受信面が荷台2底面に沿うように配置されるので、ICタグ4は荷台2底面の下方へあまり突出せず、自在式の車輪3に接近させて配置する場合であっても車輪の回転を干渉することがない。また、図16に示すように取り付け具9にICタグ4を直接取り付けても、ICタグ4が肉薄のため、車輪の回転を干渉することがない。
もちろん、ICタグ4を固定式の車輪3に接近させた場合であっても、車輪3の取り付け具9に隣接させるように荷台2の底面にICタグ4を直接取り付けたり、取り付け具9にICタグ4を直接取り付けたり、任意に選択できる。
In this embodiment, since the IC tag 4 is arranged so that the receiving surface thereof is along the bottom surface of the loading platform 2, the IC tag 4 does not protrude so much below the bottom surface of the loading platform 2, and is placed close to the free wheel 3. Even if it does, it does not interfere with the rotation of the wheel. Moreover, even if the IC tag 4 is directly attached to the fixture 9 as shown in FIG. 16, the IC tag 4 is thin, so that it does not interfere with the rotation of the wheel.
Of course, even when the IC tag 4 is brought close to the fixed wheel 3, the IC tag 4 is directly attached to the bottom surface of the loading platform 2 so as to be adjacent to the attachment 9 of the wheel 3, or the IC is attached to the attachment 9. The tag 4 can be directly attached or arbitrarily selected.

本願発明のICタグ付き物流搬送機器は、荷物の集配場における物流搬送機器での利用に限らず、倉庫で荷物整理する際に利用する場合や、図書館での書籍配置換えに利用する場合、店舗で買い物客がカートを使用する場合など、種々の状況でも応用することができる。   The logistics transport device with an IC tag of the present invention is not limited to use with a logistics transport device in a luggage collection / delivery place, but is used when organizing luggage in a warehouse, or when it is used for book rearrangement in a library, It can also be applied in various situations, such as when a shopper uses a cart.
