(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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. .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

  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.

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.

  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.

  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.

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.

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.

  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.
