Description

  The present invention receives a command signal transmitted from a radio frequency identification (hereinafter referred to as RFID) reader / writer and updates / writes tag information stored in a memory in accordance with the information of the command signal, or the tag The present invention relates to an RFID tag used in a radio frequency RFID system using a UHF band, a microwave band, or the like that transmits information as a read signal to an RFID reader / writer. In particular, an RFID tag is provided on the animal ear tag, and is fixed to the ears of animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep and other livestock and horses (hereinafter referred to as animals to be managed), The present invention relates to an animal ear tag RFID tag for performing individual management.

  The RFID system is a system that performs wireless communication between an RFID tag including an IC chip and an RFID reader / writer. There are two types of RFID tags: an active tag that is mounted with a battery and is driven by its power, and a passive tag that is driven by receiving power from the RFID reader / writer and using it as a power source. Since the active type has a battery compared to the passive type, there are advantages such as communication distance and communication stability, but there are also disadvantages such as complicated structure, larger size, and higher cost. In addition, with recent improvements in semiconductor technology, IC tags for passive tags have become smaller and higher performance, and the use of passive tags in a wide range of fields is expected. In the passive tag, in the electromagnetic induction method (HF band is typical) applied to the RFID tag having a long wave band and a short wave band, the transmission antenna coil of the RFID reader / writer and the antenna coil of the RFID tag are used. A voltage is induced in the RFID tag by the electromagnetic induction action, and the IC chip is activated by this voltage to enable communication. Therefore, the RFID tag operates only within the induction electromagnetic field by the RFID reader / writer, and the communication distance becomes about several tens of centimeters.

  In addition, in radio frequency RFID tags such as UHF band and microwave band, the radio wave system is applied, and power is supplied to the IC chip of the RFID tag by radio waves, so the communication distance is about 1 to 7 m. It has improved significantly. Therefore, simultaneous reading of a plurality of RFID tags, reading of a moving RFID tag, and the like, which have been difficult to realize with a long wave band and a short wave band RFID system with a short communication distance, are possible. Therefore, the range of use is greatly expanded, and application to an animal ear tag RFID tag is considered to be one of the useful utilization methods.

  Conventionally, an animal ear tag has a male shaft portion that penetrates the ear of an animal and a female shaft portion to which the male shaft portion is fitted, and a bill portion on either the male shaft portion or the female shaft portion. There are those with bills formed on both the male shaft and the female shaft, and RFID tags are provided on such tags and attached to the ears of animals to be managed, and ear tags are attached. Some animals manage animals individually (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 9). In addition, some animal ear tags have a male shaft portion that penetrates the ear of an animal and a female shaft portion to which the male shaft portion is fitted, and are provided with an RFID tag (for example, Patent Documents). 10 and 11). Note that examples of RFID tags installed on a single RFID tag or an object include those described in Patent Documents 12 to 17.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  From FIG. 1 (a) (c) (FIG.1 (d)), when the RFID tag 6 is affixed on the front-end | tip part side of the tag part 1, and it makes it fit with the male shaft part 2 and the female shaft part 4 It can be seen that the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 are warped on the opposite sides. Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the ear 11 is disposed between the bill portion 1 and the male shaft portion 2, and the male shaft portion 2 is inserted into the female shaft portion 4 to be fitted to each other. Thus, the mounting of the animal ear tag RFID tag according to the first embodiment to the ear 11 is completed. FIG. 2B and FIG. 3 are views after the mounting. FIG. 3A is a drawing of a state in which the bill portion 1 (female shaft portion 3) and the male shaft portion 2 are fitted when viewed from the direction of the arrow in FIG. FIG. 3B is a view showing a state in which the bill portion 1 (female shaft portion 3) and the male shaft portion 2 are fitted to each other when viewed from the cross-section taken along the alternate long and short dash line AB in FIG. The fitting between the female shaft portion 4 and the male shaft portion 2 can be easily performed by using an ear tag mounting device. Further, the bill portion 1 and the male shaft portion 2 may be attached to the ear 11 in the reverse direction. In FIG. 3, the configuration and the positional relationship of the animal ear tag tag are clarified with the space where the ear 11 is disposed as a space 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 1B and 2, the male shaft portion 2 can penetrate the ear 11, and the female shaft portion 4 is fitted with the male shaft portion 2. Depending on the shape of the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4, only the female shaft portion 4 may penetrate the ear 11. Specifically, “the male shaft portion 2 is formed only by the sharpened portion formed at the tip of the male shaft portion 2” or “the sharpened portion where the main portion of the male shaft portion 2 is formed at the tip of the shaft portion. ”Is considered. Even in such a case, for the sake of convenience, if the shaft formed by fitting the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 passes through the ear 11, the state also indicates that “the male shaft portion 2 penetrates the ear 11. Or “male shaft portion 2 can penetrate ear 11”.

  By fitting the bill portion 1 (female shaft portion 4) described in FIG. 1C or FIG. 1D with the male shaft portion 2 described in FIG. It has been explained that the animal ear tag RFID tag is configured. Since the configuration as described above is adopted, the animal ear tag RFID tag according to Embodiment 1 has the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 fitted together as shown in FIG. In the vicinity, the ear 11 and the bill portion 1 are close to each other, but when the bill portion 1 is fitted to the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4, the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 are opposite to each other. Since it is warped, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), there is a space between the bill portion 1 and the ear 11 (space 12) (interval indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3 (b)). By providing the RFID tag 6 in the vicinity of the front end portion of the bill portion 1 where 1 is a portion away from the ear 11, the RFID tag 6 is separated from the ear 11, and the IC chip constituting the RFID tag 6 is connected. The influence of the animal (living body) to be managed on the antenna can be greatly reduced. Therefore, even if the animal ear tag RFID tag according to Embodiment 1 is installed in an animal to be managed, good communication with the RFID reader / writer can be achieved, and individual identification and individual management of the animal to be managed are highly accurate. Can be done.

  1-3, it demonstrated using the thing which has arrange | positioned the RFID tag 6 or the RFID tag 10 horizontally at the front-end | tip part of the tag part 1. In FIG. This is an arrangement in which the distance between the RFID tag 6 or the RFID tag 10 and the ear 11 can be set most easily, but the warpage of the tag unit 1 is set in consideration of the distance from the ear 11. Thus, as long as the dipole antenna 8 is not brought close to the female shaft base portion 5, another arrangement of the RFID tag 6 or the RFID tag 10 in the bill portion 1 can be selected. For example, by increasing the warpage of the bill 1, as shown in FIG. 4A, one RFID tag 6 can be arranged vertically on the bill 1, or as shown in FIG. 4B. It is also possible to place two RFID tags 6 side by side at the tip of the bill portion 1. Of course, it is also possible to arrange two RFID tags 6 vertically at the tip of the bill 1. This can be said to be a combination of FIGS. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, it is possible to arrange one RFID tag 6 obliquely on the bill portion 1, but in this case, the bill is placed in the direction indicated by the dotted line in FIG. By curving the part 1, the entire RFID tag 6 can be kept away from the ear 11.

  4 (a) and 4 (c), when the warp of the animal ear tag tag or the bill portion 1 is large, the R value that is the radius value of the curve along the bill portion 1 is over the tight portion. Even if the RFID tag 6 is deployed, the RFID tag 6 or the RFID 10 itself is selected to have sufficient flexibility, so that the RFID tag is peeled off from the tag part 1 or the RFID tag itself is broken. Can be reduced. Of course, even if the RFID tag 6 or the RFID 10 itself is not flexible, it has a shape corresponding to the R value of the tag part 1 on which the RFID tag 6 or RFID 10 is formed before the tag part 1 is mounted. If so, it is possible to reduce peeling of the RFID tag from the bill portion 1 and failure of the RFID tag itself.

  The RFID tag that can be used for the animal ear tag tag according to the first embodiment can be used other than the one having the target shape centered on the IC chip 7 shown in FIGS. An RFID tag using the dipole antenna shown in FIG. 5 is an example. The RFID tag shown in FIG. 5A has a short-circuit line 14 for short-circuiting antenna patterns in addition to the matching line 13, and the IC chip is not located at the center of the RFID tag. Further, since the RFID tag shown in FIG. 5B has a meander line (dipole antenna 15), the antenna pattern can be miniaturized, and the dimensions of the animal ear tag RFID tag itself can be reduced. This is effective when there is a constraint on the R value of the bill 1. For example, by using the dipole antenna 15, the RFID tag shown in FIG. 4A can further increase the distance from the female shaft base.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, individual identification and management of an animal to be managed by the animal ear tag RFID tag will be described. In FIG. 6B, the tag information is stored in the memory unit 20 of the RFID tag 6 in accordance with the use of the RFID system (individual identification, individual management, etc.), and the RFID reader / writer 16 itself The tag information can be updated, written, or read when the RFID tag 6 is present (attached to an animal to be managed) or moving in the transmission / reception area. The RFID reader / writer 16 transmits a command signal for instructing the RFID tag 6 to update, write, or read data from the antenna portion of the RFID reader / writer 16 to the RFID tag 6 as a transmission wave. The antenna unit 8 of the RFID tag 6 receives the transmission wave, and the transmission wave is detected and stored (smoothed) by the power supply control circuit 11 to generate an operation power supply for the RFID tag 6, and the operation power supply to each circuit of the RFID tag 6. Supply. Further, the command signal of the transmission wave is demodulated by the demodulator 21. The control unit 22 performs data processing from the instruction content of the demodulated command signal, and instructs the memory unit 20 to update or write the tag information, or both, and the memory by the instruction of the control unit 22 A reply wave obtained by modulating the read signal output from the unit 20 by the modulation unit 23 is transmitted from the antenna unit 8 to the antenna unit of the RFID reader / writer 16 via the analog unit 17, and the RFID reader / writer 16 receives the read signal. To obtain desired information.

  In FIG. 6 (a), in the ear 11 of the animal 26 to be managed, an animal ear tag 27 is attached to the front of the right ear and to the back of the left ear. In FIG. 6A, enlarged views of the right ear and the left ear are attached to the diagram of the animal 26 to be managed. In the enlarged view, the animal ear tag tag 27 attached to the right ear shows a state of communicating with the fixed RFID reader / writer 16 disposed on the front side of the animal 26 to be managed. The animal ear tag tag 27 attached to the left ear shows a state of communicating with a handy terminal (RFID reader / writer 16) which is a handy type reader / writer on the rear side of the animal 26 to be managed. Thus, good communication with the RFID reader / writer 16 can be performed as described above and as shown in FIG. 6A, but the front side of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 as shown in FIG. In addition to reading the RFID tag 6 by arranging the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 on the rear side, in the animal ear tag RFID tag according to the present application, since the RFID tag 6 is separated from the ear 11, as shown in FIG. Even if the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is disposed beside the animal tag RFID tag 27, good communication with the RFID reader / writer 16 can be performed. Therefore, when the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is installed at the gate through which the animal 26 to be managed passes to perform individual identification or individual management of the animal 26 to be managed, or individual identification or individual of the target animal 26 at the handy terminal. When performing management, the degree of freedom with respect to the location where the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is installed and the direction of the target animal 26, the location of the person operating the handy terminal, and the direction of the target animal 26 is increased. This is significant in managing animals using an RFID system in which it is assumed that the behavior of the management target is difficult to predict, such as when the animal 26 to be managed moves its head, unlike the case where people or articles are managed by the RFID system. It will be an advantage. Furthermore, in the animal ear tag RFID tag according to the present invention, since the RFID tag 6 is separated from the ear 11, the animal ear attached to the right ear of the animal 26 to be managed as shown in FIG. In addition to reading the target RFID tag 27 from the front side or side, the possibility of being read from the rear side is increased (the reading rate is increased). Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6A, the possibility of not only reading the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 attached to the left ear of the animal 26 to be managed from the rear side or the side but also from the front side (reading) increases. Rate goes up).

  As shown in FIG. 8, even when the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is arranged beside the animal ear tag RFID tag 27, the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is far from the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16. Is attached to the animal 26 to be managed on the opposite side of the RFID reader / writer 16 from the antenna, and the RFID reader / writer 16 is provided with the conductive wall 28 as a reflector. And communication with the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (RFID tag) increases the accuracy of successful communication. This is because the RFID reader / writer 16 may receive a return wave directly transmitted from the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 and may receive a return wave via the reflector. The conductive wall 28 does not need to be conductive on the entire surface, and only the head of the animal 26 to be managed, that is, the portion corresponding to the height at which the animal ear tag RFID tag passes or is positioned is conductive. If it has, if the RFID reader / writer 16 and the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (RFID tag) communicate with each other, the accuracy of communication success increases.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is arranged next to the animal ear tag RFID tag 27, and the antenna 26 of the RFID reader / writer 16 is further connected to the animal 26 to be managed. When there is an existing non-conductive wall 29 on the opposite side, a conductor layer may be formed on the wall 29 so as to be in the same state as in FIG. 8, or as shown in FIG. 9, the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 The RFID reader / writer 16 and the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (RFID tag) are installed by diagonally upward or by installing the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 above the animal 26 to be managed (not shown). The accuracy of communication success may be improved if communication with is performed. The RFID reader / writer and the walls 28 and 20 described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 are arranged even when the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is attached to the ear 11 closer to the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16. Needless to say, it can be implemented.

  In order to further improve the reading rate in reading of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 by the method described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, a plurality of animal ear tag RFID tags 27 may be attached to the animal 26 to be managed. . As an example, the one described with reference to FIG. 6A can be cited, and the case where two animal ear tag RFID tags 27 are used will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), when the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is attached to both front surfaces of the ear 11, the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is connected to the animal 26 to be managed as shown in FIG. 10 (c). By arranging them on both sides, the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 can perform good communication. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, an animal ear tag RFID tag 27 may be attached to the front surface of one ear 11 and the back surface of the other ear, respectively. In this case, even when there is an antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 (handy type reader / writer) on the rear side or lower side of the animal 26 to be managed, good communication is possible as described with reference to FIG. It becomes. Of course, it goes without saying that the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 may be attached to the front surface and the back surface of one ear 11, respectively. Further, three or more animal ear tags RFID tags 27 may be attached to the animal 26 to be managed. It should be noted that not only a plurality of animal ear tag RFID tags 27 are attached to the animal 26 to be managed, but also a plurality of tags on one tag unit 1 as in the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. Similar processing can be performed in animal management when the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is attached to the animal 26 to be managed. However, since a plurality of RFID tags 6 (RFID tags 10) are attached to one tag part 1, in the point where the RFID tags 6 (RFID tags 10) are close to each other, It goes without saying that they are different. Furthermore, an animal ear tag RFID tag in which a plurality of RFID tags 6 (RFID tags 10) are formed on one tag 1 and an animal ear tag RFID tag in which one RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is formed are used in combination. Needless to say, it may be.

  Here, when the two animal ear tag RFID tags 27 according to the first embodiment are attached to the animal 26 to be managed, the animal ear tag tag when attached to the front and back of the ear 11 is used. The basic operation of the animal management system will be described. An RFID reader / writer 16 (RFID reader / writer antenna) is installed before and after the animal 26 to be managed. During entrance / exit management and feeding of the animal 26 to be managed and feeding, an interrogation wave is sent from the RFID reader / writer 16 installed on the front side of the animal to be managed to the animal ear tag RFID tag 26 (the front surface of the ear 11). The animal ear tag RFID tag 26 transmits a reply wave to the RFID reader / writer 16 based on the transmitted wave, and the RFID reader / writer 16 reads and identifies the individual number of the animal 26 to be managed. Can do. When examining the components and estrus of milk, the operator is located behind the animal's ear or under the ear of the object, and the interrogation wave is applied to the handy type reader / writer (RFID reader / writer 16) operated by the operator. Is transmitted to the animal ear tag RFID tag 26 (on the back side of the ear 11), and the animal ear tag RFID tag 26 transmits a return wave to the RFID reader / writer 16 based on the transmitted wave, thereby being managed by the RFID reader / writer. The individual number of the subject animal can be read and identified. In this way, reading from the front and back and from the top and bottom (within the range allowed by the radiation pattern of the dipole antenna) is possible, so that the animal to be managed and its ear 11 are moving up and down, left and right, or from the rear side Even if a transmission wave is transmitted, it is possible to perform wireless communication while minimizing the degradation of the communication distance.

  The IC chip 6 of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (front side of the ear 11) is referred to as an IC chip 6 (front side). The IC chip 6 of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (the back side of the ear 11) is referred to as an IC chip 6 (the back side). Hereinafter, for convenience, the individual numbers of the same individual (animal to be managed) are assigned to the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (front side), the memory unit 20 and the IC chip of the IC chip 6 (front side). The description will be made on the assumption that the data is stored in the memory unit 20 of 6 (back side), but even if separate IDs are stored in each memory unit 20 without storing the same individual number. If the RFID reader / writer 16 or a management server (database) connected to the RFID reader / writer 16 in a wired or wireless manner, that is, on the system, the separate IDs are set to be the same individual, the IC chip 6 (front surface) Side) and the IC chip 6 (back side) itself need not store the individual number of the same individual. In other words, the RFID tag 6 constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (front side of the ear 11) and the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (back side of the ear 11) constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 (front side of the ear 11). 6 (the back side of the ear 11) may be used to identify the same individual. Therefore, even if the IDs and data stored in the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11) have no relation to the individual number of the animal to be managed, It is only necessary to know that the RFID tag attached to a certain management target is the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11). Further, in this case, the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11) can be easily reused or replaced.

  At the time of entrance / exit management and feeding to the management area of the animal to be managed, an interrogation wave is transmitted from the RFID reader / writer 16 installed in front of the animal 26 to be managed to the animal ear tag RFID tag, and the IC chip. 6 (front side) and IC chip 6 (rear side) information on the individual number stored in one or both is placed on the response wave and placed on the front side of the animal to be managed from the RFID tag for animals. Sent to the RFID reader / writer 16. Of course, RFID tags that are likely to return a reply wave to the RFID reader / writer 16 installed on the front side of the animal 26 to be managed are the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11). Of course, the distance is closer to the RFID reader / writer 16 installed on the front side of the animal to be managed. Actually, as long as the distance between the RFID reader / writer 16 and both ear tags is not close, the RFID tag (RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) or RFID tag 6 (the front side of the ear 11) closer to the RFID reader / writer 16). A reply wave is returned from the back side of the ear 11)). Therefore, the individual number of the animal to be managed can be read and identified by the RFID reader / writer 16.

  Similarly, when examining the components and estrus of milk, the operator is located behind the ears of animals or under the ears of objects, and is attached to a handy type reader / writer (RFID reader / writer 16) operated by the operator. The interrogation wave is transmitted to the animal ear tag RFID tag, and the information of the individual number stored in one or both of the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (back side) is put on the reply wave. The animal ear tag RFID tag is sent to the RFID reader / writer 16 installed on the front side of the animal to be managed. Of course, the RFID tags that are likely to return a return wave to the handy type reader / writer (RFID reader / writer 16) operated by the operator are the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11). It is needless to say that the distance is closer to the handy type reader / writer (RFID reader / writer 16) operated by the operator. Actually, as long as the distance between the RFID reader / writer 16 and both ear tags is not close, the RFID tag (RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) or RFID tag 6 (the front side of the ear 11) closer to the RFID reader / writer 16). A reply wave is returned from the back side of the ear 11)). Therefore, the individual number of the animal to be managed can be read and identified by the RFID reader / writer 16.

  Further, the animal ear tag 27 not only obtains individual information of the animal 26 to be managed, but also includes entry / exit management, feeding history, milk component and estrus history information (hereinafter simply referred to as history information). If the RFID reader / writer 16 is connected to the RFID reader / writer 16 or the RFID reader / writer 16 in a wired or wireless manner, the individual information and the history information from the animal ear tag tag obtained by the RFID reader / writer 16 are linked. It may be managed on the server (database) side. However, like the animal management system using the animal ear tag 27, the animal ear tag for storing history information in the animal ear tag tag, not the RFID reader / writer 16 or the management server (database) side. When building an animal management system using tags, record / add history information individually to the IC chip 6 (front side) and the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (back side) of the animal ear tag RFID tag. And delete it.

  Specific explanation will be given in the following paragraphs. In this case, the RFID reader / writer 16 is arranged at a distance that allows communication with both the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11), and the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11). The discussion proceeds on the premise that wireless communication is performed with the RFID tag 6 (the back side of the ear 11). However, even if the RFID reader / writer 16 is located at a distance that allows communication with the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and is difficult to communicate with the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11), RFID Information such as history information stored in the memory unit 20 of the tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) has been recorded / added and deleted, and the RFID reader / writer 16 and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11) The relative position changes to a distance that allows communication with the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11), and history information stored in the memory unit 20 of the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11) by the RFID reader / writer 16 or the like. History information stored in the memory unit 20 of the RFID tag 6 (on the back side of the ear 11) by another RFID reader / writer before attempting to record / append and delete the information of If it is guaranteed that no information is recorded / added / deleted, the RFID reader / writer 16 can communicate with both the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11). There is no need to place it.

  More specifically, assuming the description in the previous paragraph, the memory units 20 of the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (back side) are independent, and history information is stored in one memory unit 20. Is recorded / added or deleted, the other memory unit 20 is neither recorded / added nor deleted. Therefore, when the history information is recorded / added to or deleted from the memory unit 20, the time information from which the history information was obtained, that is, the time at which entry / exit management, feeding history, milk component and estrus history were recorded. Information (hereinafter simply referred to as time information) may be recorded / added to the memory unit 20 in accordance with recording / adding or deleting of history information. Temporarily, the history information α associated with the time information A is stored in the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (front side), and the time information A is stored in the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (back side). When the history information β associated with the time information B is stored, the RFID reader / writer 16 is attached to the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11). Wireless communication is performed with the RFID tag 6 (front side of the ear 11) and the RFID tag 6 (back side of the ear 11) at a distance communicable with both, and at a later time of time information A and time information B It can be determined that the history of the history information β associated with a certain time information B is the latest. The time information can be easily obtained by forming a configuration having a clock function in the RFID reader / writer 16 or the management server (database). Further, time information may be incorporated into history information and used as history information.

  From the time information, it can be seen that the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (back side) has the latest history information. Memory of the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (rear side) using the RFID reader / writer 16 at a distance capable of communicating with both the front side) and the RFID tag 6 (rear side of the ear 11) The information stored in the unit 20 may be integrated and unified into one piece of information. Specifically, as described above, the history information α associated with the time information A is stored in the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (front side), and the memory unit with the IC chip 6 (back side). When the history information β associated with the time information B, which is a time later than the time information A, is stored in the memory unit 20 in the IC chip 6 (front side), The time information B and the history information β are additionally written, and the time information A and the history information α are additionally written in the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (back side). As a result, the time information A and B and the history information α and β are stored in the memory units 20 of both the IC chip 6 (front side) and the IC chip 6 (back side). When unifying to one information, particularly when unifying to the latest information, the time information A and the history information α are deleted from the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (front side), and the time information B and the history information β are deleted. And add. The order of deletion and appending operations does not matter. Since the information recorded in the memory unit 20 of the IC chip 6 (back side) is the latest, it is left as it is. In both cases of integrating information and unifying the latest information, the fact that these processes have been performed is referred to as “unified information” information (hereinafter referred to as unified information), and the IC chip 6 ( If recording / addition is performed in both the memory unit 20 on the front side and the memory unit 20 on the IC chip 6 (rear side), the individual identification and individual management of the animals to be managed become more accurate.

  As described above, individual identification and individual management of the animal 26 to be managed are shown in the example in which one animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is attached to each of the front and back surfaces of the ear 11 as shown in FIG. However, even if three or more animal ear tags RFID tags 27 are attached to the animal 26 to be managed, individual identification and individual management of the animal 26 to be managed can be performed. Needless to say. Every time the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is added, the procedure increases, but the basic processing is the same. Therefore, when the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 is installed and the animal 26 to be managed rushes to the gate, door, passage, feeding area, etc. through which the animal 26 to be managed passes, or when the animals 26 to be managed are crowded Even if there is a possibility that an animal ear tag RFID tag 27 that does not reach the radio wave (question wave) from the antenna of the RFID reader / writer 16 between the animals 26 to be managed can be generated per animal 26 to be managed. The possibility can be reduced by attaching a plurality of animal ear tags RFID tags 27 to the.

  A first modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 (a) is a front view of a bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 11 (b) is a side view of the bill part according to FIG. 11 (a), and FIG. 11 (c) is an animal ear tag. Side view of the tag part constituting the RFID tag (with built-in RFID tag), FIG. 12 (a) is a front view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 12 (b) relates to FIG. 12 (a). FIG. 12B is a side view of the bill portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporating the RFID tag), and in FIGS. 11-14, 30 is the bill portion (the bill portion 1). A posture maintaining member 31 for maintaining the posture is an animal ear tag tag on which numerals, barcodes, and the like are printed. The male shaft portion 2 and the male shaft base portion 3 may be the same as those described above. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  1 to 10, the bill portion 1 itself has been described to have a hardness enough to maintain its own shape. However, as shown in FIG. 11, the posture maintaining member 31 has a hardness sufficient to maintain its own shape. Unused material can be used for the bill 1. The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 11 has one end of a non-conductive string that is a posture maintaining member 31 fixed to the female shaft base 5 and the other end fixed to the right end of the tip of the bill 1. One end of the non-conductive string that is the posture maintaining member 31 is fixed to the female shaft base portion 5, and the other end is fixed to the left end of the tip portion of the tag portion 1. As described above, by using the two posture maintaining members 31, it is possible to obtain the desired warpage of the bill portion 1 by selecting the length of the posture maintaining member 31. The number and fixed positions of the posture maintaining members 31 are not limited to those described above, and may be set as appropriate depending on the required warpage of the bill portion 1 or the portion that warps the bill portion 1. In addition, the posture maintaining member 31 may be used as a reinforcement even in the tag portion 1 using a material having a hardness that allows the shape to be maintained by itself. Further, the RFID tag 6 or the RFID 10 may be used as a posture maintaining member. This is to make the RFID tag 6 or RFID 10 like the core or core of the tag part 1, and use a conductor having a hardness that can maintain the posture for the dipole antenna 8 of the RFID tag or use a resin-molded RFID tag. It is sufficient if the resin used to mold the RFID tag can maintain the posture.

  1 to 11, the bill portion 1 has been described as being warped on the opposite side of the fitted male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4. It will be described that the shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 may be warped. In the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 12, the bill portion 1 is warped toward the female shaft portion 4, and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) avoids the base end portion and the tip end portion of the bill portion 1. Are placed sideways. That is, it can be said that the direction of the tag part 1 is reversed with respect to the animal ear tag RFID tag described in FIGS. With this configuration, when the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 12 is attached to the ear 11 of the animal 26 to be managed so that the tip of the tag portion 11 is in contact with the ear 11, the tag portion Since the space between the ear 11 and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is generated by the contact between the warp 1 and the tip of the bill portion 11 and the ear 11, the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. Even if it is installed in an animal to be managed, good communication with the RFID reader / writer can be achieved. However, if a high-hardness material is used for the bill 1, it becomes difficult to attach the animal ear tag RFID tag to the ear 11. Therefore, it is necessary to select a material having a certain degree of flexibility. Note that the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) shown in FIG. 12 can be used as long as it has a shape (particularly an antenna shape) between the ear 11 and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10). It doesn't have to be sideways.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, the existing animal ear tag 31 is attached to the ear 11 of the animal 26 to be managed, and the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is additionally attached to the ear 11. Will be described. In such a case, due to the relationship between the dimensions of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 and the dimensions of the animal ear tag tag 31 and the dimensions of the ear 11, the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 and the animal ear tag tag 31 are inevitably formed. It may be worn. However, since it is necessary to optically read the numbers and barcodes written on the animal ear tag 31, it is necessary to prevent the animal ear tags RFID tag 27 from seeing the numbers and barcodes. Therefore, like the animal 26 to be managed shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the animal ear tag 31 must be attached to the front side of the ear 11, but the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 shown in FIGS. As described above, the RFID tag 6 is arranged so as to be shifted from the covering portion of the animal ear tag 31 and the influence of the material (resin) of the animal ear tag 31 on the antenna of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27. Can be reduced. Even when the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is installed in front of the animal ear tag tag 31, if the warpage of the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 is increased, the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 warps. If the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 and the animal ear tag tag 31 are arranged on the ear 11 so that the numbers and bar codes of the animal ear tag tag 31 can be seen from the portion, the animal ear tag RFID tag 27 And the bar code can be prevented from disappearing.

  A second modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Side view of the tag part constituting the RFID tag (with built-in RFID tag), FIG. 16A is a front view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 16B relates to FIG. FIG. 16C is a side view of the bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporated with the RFID tag), and FIG. 17A is a diagram of the bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag. FIG. 17B is a side view of the bill portion according to FIG. 17A, FIG. 17C is a side view of the bill portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (with built-in RFID tag), FIG. FIG. 18A is a front view of a bill portion constituting an animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 18B is a side view of the bill portion according to FIG. 8 (c) is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporating the RFID tag), FIG. 19 (a) is a front view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. ) Is a side view of the bill portion according to FIG. 11A, and FIG. 19C is a side view of the bill portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (with built-in RFID tag).

  15 to 19, 32 is a bill portion, 33 is formed in the bill portion 32, a bill portion bending portion extending in the lateral direction of the bill portion 32 that bends the bill portion 32 in the vertical direction, and 33 a is a female portion of the bill portion 1. Bending portions A and 33b formed from the shaft base portion 5 (base end portion) are bending portions B and 33c formed near the constricted portion of the tag portion 1, and bending portions C and 33c are formed from the tip portion of the tag portion 1. , 34 is an RFID tag using a conductor having a hardness capable of maintaining its posture, or a molded resin having a hardness capable of maintaining the posture, and 35 is a dipole antenna constituting the RFID tag 34, Reference numeral 36 denotes an RFID tag sealed in a bill portion, and its constituent elements are the same as those of the RFID tag 34. The male shaft portion 2 and the male shaft base portion 3 may be the same as those described above. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. Here, the description of the bill bent portion 33 will be made using three bent portions A33a, bent portion B33b, and bent portion C33c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The arrangement may be appropriately selected depending on the warpage required for the bill portion 32. Of course, the bent shape of each bent portion such as the bent portion A33a, the bent portion B33b, and the bent portion C33c (including the bent portion D33d described later) is a smooth arc shape like the bill portion 1 described in FIGS. May be.

  1 to 14, the description has been given of the case in which the entire bill portion 1 is warped so as to draw a smooth arc, but the warp of the bill portion may not be entirely smooth like an arc. In other words, the bill portion may have at least one bill portion bent portion 33. Like the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 15, a bill portion bent portion 33 is formed in three places, that is, a bent portion A33a, a bent portion B33b, and a bent portion C33c, and the bill portion described in FIGS. 1 may be a relatively smooth warp, only the bent portion A33a as shown in FIG. 16, only the bent portion B33b as shown in FIG. 17, and only the bent portion C33c as shown in FIG. But you can. Further, as in the bill portion 32 shown in FIG. 19, the RFID tag 35 or the RFID 36 may be used as a posture maintaining member of the bill portion bent portion 33 (bent portion A33a). A conductor having a hardness that can maintain the posture is used for the dipole antenna 35 of the RFID tag, or a resin-molded RFID tag may be used as long as the resin in which the RFID tag is molded can maintain the posture. In this case, since the end of the antenna is disposed at the bend bent portion 33 close to the base end of the bill portion 32, the end of the antenna and the ear 11 approach each other. Since it is away from 11, there is no big influence. Moreover, you may apply the tag part bending part 33 to the ear tag tag for animals of FIG. 12 which has warped on the male shaft part 2 and the female shaft part 4 side in which the tag part is fitted. It should be noted that the closer the bill portion bent portion 33 is to the base end portion of the bill portion 32 and the greater the warpage adjustment (bending degree) of the bill portion bent portion 33, the greater the shape of the selectable RFID tag 6 (RFID 10). The degree of freedom increases at a position on the bill portion 32. In other words, the RFID tag 6 or the RFID tag 10 is disposed horizontally at the front end of the bill portion 32, but the warpage of the bill portion 32 (bending state) is taken into account the distance from the ear 11. As long as the dipole antenna 8 is not brought close to the female shaft base 5, another arrangement of the RFID tag 6 or the RFID tag 10 in the bill portion 32 can be selected.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 20 (a) is a front view of a tag part constituting an animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 20 (b) is a side view of the tag part according to FIG. 20 (a), and FIG. 20 (c) is an animal ear tag. FIG. 21A is a front view of a tag part constituting an animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 21B is a side view of the tag part constituting the RFID tag (an RFID tag is incorporated in the front resin layer). FIG. 21C is a side view of the tag portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (with the RFID tag built in the front resin layer), and FIG. 22A is the animal ear tag. 22 (b) is a side view of the tag portion according to FIG. 22 (a), and FIG. 22 (c) is a side view of the tag portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag. (RFID tag built in front resin layer).

  20-22, 1a is a flat shape, and when attached to the ear 11, or after attaching to the ear 11, it has a flexible tag part which can be bent by contact with the ear 11, and 37 is for animals. When the ear tag tag is attached to the ear 11, the front resin layer formed on the surface of the tag portion 1 a opposite to the surface facing the ear 11, 38 is the ear 11 when the animal ear tag tag is attached to the ear 11. A front resin layer having an inclined surface, 39 is formed on the surface of the bill portion 1a opposite to the surface opposite to the surface, and increases in thickness toward the tip of the bill portion 1a. When the tag is attached to the ear 11, it is formed on the surface of the bill portion 1 a opposite to the surface facing the ear 11, and the thickness decreases in a tapered shape toward the tip of the bill portion 1 a. It is the front resin layer which has. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. In FIG. 20, the bill portion 1a and the front resin layer 37 are not integrated. In FIG. 21, the bill portion 1a and the front resin layer 38 are integral. In FIG. Although the front resin layer 39 is shown as an integral part, it is free to select whether the bill portion 1a and the front resin layers 37 to 39 are integral or not integral. However, when the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is mounted on an existing bill portion, it goes without saying that the bill portion 1a is not integrated with the front resin layer 37, the front resin layer 38, and the front resin layer 39. It is ideal to use a material with a low dielectric constant for the front resin layers 37 to 39 because the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag is small. Further, the front resin layers 37 to 39 may be formed on the entire surface or almost the entire surface of the bill portion 1 a opposite to the surface facing the ear 11 when the animal ear tag tag is attached to the ear 11.

  The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 20 has a front resin layer 37 having a flat surface on the surface of the tag portion 1a opposite to the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 that are fitted. The RFID tag is provided on the surface (FIG. 20B) or inside (FIG. 20C) of the front resin layer 37. Since the animal ear tag RFID tag has such a structure, even if the animal ear tag RFID tag is attached to the ear 11, the thickness of the tag portion 1a and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) of the front resin layer 37 are as high as possible. Since the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is separated from the ear 11 by the thickness and distance of the tag, even if the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. Can be achieved. Further, compared to the case where the bill portion 1a itself is bent (including bending), the thickness of the bill portion 1a and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) of the front resin layer 37 are always set regardless of the shape of the ear 11 to be installed. The RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) can be separated from the ear 11 more than the thickness and distance up to. For this reason, the position and angle of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) on the front resin layer 37 (when the antenna is oblique) may be anywhere.

  The difference between the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 21 and the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 20 is that the thickness of the front resin layer increases in a tapered shape toward the tip of the tag portion 1a. It is that it is the front resin layer 38 which has the following inclination. Since the front surface resin layer 38 is inclined, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is arranged even when the ear 11 is facing downward by arranging the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) in accordance with the inclination. Can be directed to the front. Even when the ear 11 is not facing down, even if the animal 26 to be managed is rained outdoors and the surface of the animal ear tag RFID tag is wet, rain moisture will fall on the inclined surface of the front resin layer 38. Since it flows, it is difficult for water droplets to remain on the surface of the animal ear tag RFID tag, so that good communication with the RFID reader / writer can be achieved. Note that the position on the front resin layer 37 of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) from the relationship with the ear 11 is arranged closer to the front resin layer 38 than the front end portion of the bill portion 1a because the thickness from the base end portion is smaller. Better to do.

  The difference between the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 22 and the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 is that the thickness of the front resin layer decreases in a tapered shape toward the tip of the tag portion 1a. That is, the front resin layer 39 has an inclined surface, and the installation position of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) needs to be away from the front end portion of the tag portion 1a in order to take a sufficient distance from the ear 11. . Since the front resin layer 39 is inclined, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) can be arranged even when the ear 11 is facing upward by arranging the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) in accordance with the inclination. Can be directed to the front. Note that the position on the front resin layer 39 of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) from the relationship with the ear 11 is arranged closer to the front resin layer 39 than the base end portion of the bill portion 1a because the thickness from the front end portion is thinner. Better to do. Even when the ear 11 is not facing upward, even if the animal 26 to be managed is rained outdoors and the surface of the animal ear tag RFID tag is wet, the moisture on the inclined surface of the front resin layer 39 is exposed to rain. Since it flows, it is difficult for water droplets to remain on the surface of the animal ear tag RFID tag, so that good communication with the RFID reader / writer can be achieved. In addition, when there is a possibility that rain moisture may remain at the step between the bill portion 1a and the front resin layer 39 in FIG. 22, the step may be formed into a smooth shape. This can be said to be a combination of the animal ear tag RFID tags described in FIGS. 21 and 22, and the front resin layer may be shaped like a protrusion. In other words, it can be said that the front resin layer 37 of the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. Further, the front resin layers 37 to 39 may be hump-like protrusions.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
The third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 23 (a) is a front view of a bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 23 (b) is a side view of the bill part according to FIG. 23 (a), and FIG. 23 (c) is an animal ear tag. FIG. 24A is a front view of a tag part constituting an animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 24B is related to FIG. 24A. 24 (c) is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporated with the RFID tag), and FIG. 25 (a) is a diagram of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag. FIG. 25B is a side view of the bill portion according to FIG. 25A, and FIG. 25C is a side view of the bill portion constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (with a built-in RFID tag).

  23 to 25, 40 is a back resin layer formed on a surface facing the ear 11 when the animal ear tag is attached to the ear 11, and 41 is when the animal ear tag tag is attached to the ear 11. A rear resin layer having a surface inclination and a surface inclination which is formed on a surface facing the ear 11 and increases in a tapered manner toward the tip of the bill portion 1a; 42 is an animal ear tag A rear surface having a surface inclination, formed on a surface facing the ear 11 when the tag is attached to the ear 11, and having a surface inclination that decreases in a taper toward the tip of the bill portion 1a. It is a resin layer. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. 23, the bill part 1a and the back resin layer 40 are shown as an integral part, the bill part 1a and the back resin layer 41 are shown as an integral part in FIG. 24, and the bill part 1a is shown in FIG. Although the back resin layer 42 is shown as an integral one, the selection of the bill portion 1a and the back resin layers 40 to 42 as being integral or not integral is free. However, when the back resin layers 40 to 42 are added to the animal ear tag RFID tag on which the existing RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is mounted, the tag portion 1a, the back resin layer 40, the back resin layer 41, the back surface Needless to say, the resin layer 42 is not integral. It is ideal to use a material having a low dielectric constant for the back resin layers 40 to 42 because the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag is small. Further, the back resin layers 40 to 42 may be formed on the entire surface or substantially the entire surface facing the ear 11 when the animal ear tag is attached to the ear 11.

  The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 23 has a rear resin layer 40 formed on the surface of the tag portion 1a on the side of the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 that are fitted, and the surface of the tag portion 1a ( The RFID tag is provided in FIG. 23 (a)) or inside (FIG. 23 (b)), or inside the back surface resin layer 40 on the bill portion 1a side. Since the animal ear tag RFID tag has such a structure, even if the animal ear tag RFID tag is attached to the ear 11, the thickness of the back resin layer 40 (RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) of the back resin layer 40) The RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) has an ear 11 depending on the thickness and distance between the tag portion 1a and the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) and the space between the ear 11 due to the bending of the tag portion 1a. Therefore, even if the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 23 is installed in the animal 26 to be managed, good communication with the RFID reader / writer can be achieved. Regardless of the shape of the ear 11 to be installed, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is connected from the ear 11 to the thickness of the bill portion 1a and the thickness and distance of the back resin layer 40 to the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10). Can be separated. For this reason, as long as the back surface resin layer 40 of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is on the back surface, the position and angle on the tag portion 1a (when the antenna is oblique) may be anywhere.

  The difference between the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 24 and the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 23 is that the thickness of the rear resin layer increases in a tapered shape toward the tip of the tag portion 1a. It is that it is the back surface resin layer 41 which has this inclination. Since the back surface resin layer 41 is inclined, no step is generated between the back surface resin layer 41 and the bill portion 1a. The difference between the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 22 and the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 20 is that the thickness of the back resin layer decreases in a tapered shape toward the tip of the tag portion 1a. It is that it is the front resin layer 42 which has this inclination. Since the back surface resin layer 42 is inclined, a step is formed between the back surface resin layer 42 and the bill portion 1a. However, this step protrusion is formed, and the number of contact portions between the ear 11 and the back surface resin phase layer 42 can be reduced. . In addition, you may make it a smooth shape avoiding that the level | step difference between the tag part 1a of FIG. 25 and the back surface resin layer 42 becomes sharp. This can be said to be a combination of the animal ear tag RFID tags described in FIGS. 24 and 25, and the back surface resin layer may be shaped like a protrusion. In other words, it can be said that the rear resin layer 40 of the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. Moreover, it is good also considering the back surface resin layers 40-42 as a hump-like processus | protrusion. Details will be described in Embodiment 4. The hump shape may be a hemispherical shape or a gentle hilly shape. Further, when a plurality of protrusions are formed, it may be regarded as a wave shape as a whole.

FIG. 28 (d) is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporated with the RFID tag), FIG. 29 (a) is a front view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 29 (b) is a rear view of the bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 29 (c) is a side view of the bill part according to FIGS. 29 (a) and (b), and FIG. 29 (d) is an animal. It is a side view (RFID tag built-in) of the bill part which constitutes the ear tag RFID tag.

  Next, FIG. 30A is a front view of a bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, FIG. 30B is a rear view of the bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 30C. Fig. 30 (a) is a side view of the tag part according to Figs. 30 (a) and 30 (b), Fig. 30 (d) is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (internal RFID tag), and Fig. 31 (a) is an animal 31 (b) is a rear view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 31 (c) is shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b). FIG. 31D is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporated with the RFID tag), and FIG. 32A is a bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag. 32 (b) is a rear view of a bill part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag, and FIG. 32 (c) is shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b). 32 (d) is a side view of the tag part constituting the animal ear tag RFID tag (incorporating the RFID tag), and in FIGS. 26 to 32, 43 is formed on the back surface of the tag part 1a. 44 is a hump-like protrusion formed on the back surface of the bill portion 1a, 45 is a hump-like protrusion portion formed on the back surface of the bill portion 1a, and 46 is a back surface of the bill portion 1a. It is a hump-shaped protrusion formed. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. In FIG. 26 (a), FIG. 27 (a), FIG. 28 (a), FIG. 29 (a), FIG. 30 (a), FIG. 31 (a), and FIG. The protruding portions 43 to 46 are indicated by dotted lines. It is ideal to use a material having a low dielectric constant for the protrusions 43 to 46 because the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag is small. The animal ear tag RFID tag according to the fourth embodiment can be said to be a modification of the animal ear tag RFID tag according to the third embodiment, assuming that the rear resin layers 40 to 42 are replaced with the protrusions 43 to 46. Therefore, explanations other than the structure are omitted except for those specific to the animal ear tag RFID tag according to the fourth embodiment.

  When the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 26 is installed on the ear 11, it is attached to a portion that comes into contact with the ear 11, that is, the surface of the tag portion 1 a on the side of the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft portion 4 that is fitted. Since the bump-shaped protrusion 43 is formed, a soft pressure is applied to the ear 11 even when it comes into contact with the ear 11, so that the influence on the ear 11 is small. The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 27 has a plurality of hump-like projections 44 having a diameter smaller than that of the projection 43 at a portion in contact with the ear 11 when installed on the ear 11. The pressure applied when it comes into contact with is distributed, and the influence on the ear 11 is smaller than that of the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 28 has the projections 44 of the animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 27 arranged in a single vertical row, and the contact area between the ear 11 and the projection 44 is reduced. Can do. Since the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) may be disposed at the tag portion 1a at a position where the protrusion 44 can provide a sufficient distance from the ear 11, the position does not need to be the position shown in FIGS.

  The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 29 has a hump-like protrusion 45 having a diameter smaller than that of the protrusion 44 and a hump-like protrusion 45 having a smaller diameter. 46 is arrange | positioned so that it may become large gradually toward the front-end | tip part from the base end part of the tag part 1a. For this reason, when the animal ear tag RFID tag is attached to the ear 11, the bill portion 1 a is gradually fitted from the proximal end portion toward the distal end portion of the bill portion 1 a so that the male shaft portion 2 and the female shaft are fitted. Since it warps on the opposite side to the part 3, there is an effect that it is difficult to apply excessive force to the bill part 1a. In addition, if the several protrusion part is arrange | positioned so that it may become large gradually toward the front-end | tip part from the base end part of the tag part 1a, there will be no restriction | limiting in the number and diameter of a protrusion part. The RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) in the bill portion 1a may be disposed at a position where the protrusion 11 can sufficiently take a distance from the ear 11, and thus the position shown in FIG. 29 is not required, but the protrusion is small. Except when the distance to the ear 11 is not sufficient due to being too much.

  The animal ear tag RFID tag described in FIGS. 30 to 32 has a plurality of protrusions 44 formed by removing a portion of the tag portion 1a where the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is formed in a plan view. In FIG. 30, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is disposed sideways at the tip of the bill portion 1a. In FIG. 31, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is arranged vertically from the constricted portion of the bill portion 1a to the tip portion. In FIG. 32, the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is disposed obliquely on the bill portion 1a. 30 to 32 is arranged so that the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) does not cover the projection 44 in plan view. Even if a material other than the dielectric constant is adopted, the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is small. Of course, the protrusions described in FIGS. 26 to 29 may be applied to the protrusions described in FIGS.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. It is ideal to use a low dielectric constant for the bill spacer 47, the bill clip 48, the bill spacer 49, and the bill linear spacer 50 because the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag is small. However, when the tag part spacer 47, the tag part clip 48, the tag part spacer 49, and the tag part linear spacer 50 are arranged so as to avoid the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) in a plan view, the projection part 44 has a low height. Even if a material other than the dielectric constant is adopted, the influence on the antenna of the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) is small. Moreover, what is necessary is just to select arbitrarily regarding the number which uses the tag part spacer 47, the tag part clip 48, the tag part spacer 49, and the tag part linear spacer 50. FIG.

  The animal ear tag RFID tag shown in FIG. 33 has the tag part spacer 47 fitted on both sides of the tag part 1a (FIG. 33B), whereby the animal ear tag RFID tag is managed as the animal 26 to be managed. The tag spacer 47 functions as a spacer that keeps the RFID tag 6 (RFID tag 10) away from the ear 11 when attached to the ear 11.
