Description

  The present invention relates to a package. In particular, the present invention relates to a package including an IC tag so that it can be detected that it has been opened.

  In recent years, IC chips have been miniaturized due to the integration of integrated circuits, and an IC tag that is a combination of an IC chip and an antenna can be attached to a product. IC tags have come to be used for the management of products, forgery prevention, tampering prevention, and the like. Also, from the viewpoint of traceability, factories have begun to be used to check the history of products, intermediate products, parts used in them, and raw materials.

  For example, in order to prevent mischief, there is one that is attached to a product so that the antenna of the IC tag is cut when the package is opened (Patent Document 1).

  In this case, if it is transported in the packed state and it is unpacked in the middle of transportation, the antenna will be disconnected due to unpacking, and communication will be disabled, or the communication distance will be less than half. You can confirm that it was unpacked after transportation.

  On the other hand, it may be necessary to record the location and time of an unopened product. For example, in an article whose performance is greatly affected by oxidation, it is necessary to manage the time during which the oxidation proceeds after being opened and exposed to the atmosphere to start oxidation. In addition, it is necessary to manage the opening time of articles that adversely affect the human body such as radiation.

  When managing the use of raw materials, especially when manufacturing products at factories, etc., the IC chip does not start communication with unopened raw material packaging, and the time since the opening of the raw material packaging was opened. In order to manage the location, the IC chip is required to start communication from the time it is opened.

  On the other hand, there is a packaging container that includes an RFID tag having at least two antennas capable of communicating in different frequency bands, and one of the antennas is disconnected so as not to communicate with the opening of the container, and can be confirmed to be unpacked. (Patent Document 2).

  And since goods management is possible with the antenna left without being cut | disconnected, there exists a possibility of satisfy | filling said request | requirement. However, in the case of this RFID tag, it is necessary to provide two antennas, and one can not communicate by opening it, but the other must not be able to communicate. It becomes large and its use is limited in terms of cost.

  Known documents are shown below.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory view schematically showing a cross section of an example of the package of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view schematically showing a cross section of an inner seal used in an example of the package of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory view schematically showing in cross section a liner with an IC tag used in an example of the package of the present invention.

  As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, the package 100 of this example is filled with the contents 2 in the bottle 1. An inner seal 3 is sealed and attached to the opening 11 of the bottle 1. A male screw 13 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 12 of the bottle 1.

  The cap 4 includes a top plate 41 and a cylindrical peripheral wall portion 42 that hangs down from the periphery of the top plate 41. A female screw 43 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical peripheral wall portion 42 and is detachably mounted on the bottle 1 by being screwed with the male screw 13.

  A liner 5 is fitted inside the top plate 41 of the cap 4. The liner 5 is pressed by an annular protrusion 44 provided above the female screw 43 on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical peripheral wall portion 42 of the cap 4 so that it does not come off.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner seal 3 has an aluminum foil structure, a sealing material is applied to the inner surface of the aluminum foil 31, a seal layer 32 is provided, and the inner seal 3 is thermally sealed to the opening 11 of the bottle 1. A protective varnish is applied to the outer surface of the aluminum foil 31 to prevent oxidation of aluminum, and a protective layer 33 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the liner 5 has a layer structure in which a cushioning core material 51 is sandwiched between an upper film 52 and a lower film 53, and the IC tag 6 is placed in a hole 54 provided in the core material 51. It is stored and bonded to the lower film 53.

  As the core material 51 having cushioning properties, a foamed resin sheet is preferably used, and polypropylene, polyethylene, or the like is preferably used as the resin. The upper film 52 and the lower film 53 may be laminated by heat fusion using a resin film similar to the core material 51, or the resin film may be bonded with an adhesive.

  In the unopened package 100, the cap 4 is screwed into the bottle 1 and is detachably mounted, and the liner 5 is in close contact with the inner seal 3. For this reason, the IC tag 6 adhered to the lower film 53 of the liner 5 is close to the aluminum foil 31 of the inner seal 3.

  Although not shown in detail, the IC tag 6 is a general one, and has an inlet provided with one antenna and one IC chip electrically connected on a base substrate. A radio wave emitted from the reader / writer is received, a small amount of power is generated, information processing is performed with the power, and a radio wave modulated according to the information processing result is transmitted.

  As for the frequency band used by the IC tag, all frequency bands such as LF, HF, and UHF are properly used depending on the application in which the package is used. The reader / writer reads this radio wave and obtains information on the IC tag 6.

  As described above, when the IC tag 6 is in contact with or close to the aluminum foil 31 of the inner seal 3, the reception performance of the radio wave from the reader / writer is remarkably lowered, and no power is generated and the information processing of the IC chip is performed. Not done.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view schematically showing a cross section of the upper end portion of the packaging body of the present invention in an opened state and a cap removed.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory view schematically showing a cross section of the upper end portion of the packaging body of the present invention which is opened and the inner seal is peeled off.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view schematically showing a cross section of the upper end portion in a state where it is re-sealed after opening in an example of the package of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the cap 4 is removed, an inner seal 3 having an aluminum foil 31 structure attached to the opening 11 of the bottle 1 by a seal and an IC tag 6 of the liner 5 fitted inside the cap 4 are formed. Leave.

  When the IC tag 6 is separated from the inner seal 3 having the aluminum foil 31 structure, the IC tag 6 can receive radio waves emitted from the reader / writer, can perform information processing, and can transmit radio waves. . The reader / writer can read the transmitted radio wave and obtain information on the IC tag 6.

To use the contents, the inner seal is peeled off and removed from the opening of the bottle as shown in FIG. 5. After use, the cap is screwed onto the bottle as shown in FIG. Therefore, the IC tag 6 can receive radio waves emitted from the reader / writer, perform information processing, and transmit radio waves.

  Thus, after removing the cap from the bottle and opening it, communication with the reader / writer is always performed, and it is possible to know the opening time and the elapsed time after opening.

  As a method of using the package 100, it can be used as a package for raw materials or the like when manufacturing a product at a factory. The package 100 delivered to the factory is opened as necessary to use raw materials.

  By opening the package, the IC tag 6 of the package 100 can receive radio waves from the reader / writer. The IC tag 6 generates power by the received radio wave, performs information processing, and transmits the result on the radio wave. The radio wave is received by the reader / writer.

  As a result, the opened date and time is specified from the date and time information of the management computer on the reader / writer side. In addition, since a plurality of reader / writers may or may not receive the transmission from the IC tag 33, the range of the position where the IC tag 6 exists can be specified.

  These pieces of information are stored in a management computer connected to the reader / writer by wire or wirelessly. These pieces of information may be stored in the IC chip of the IC tag 6 of the package 100. If stored in the IC chip 13, this information can be read even by a reader / writer not connected to the management computer.

  As described above, since the IC tag starts communication from the time when the package of the present invention is opened, the communication start is received by the reader / writer, and the opening time, the elapsed time after opening, or the location where the package is opened Can know. Thus, it is possible to know and manage the time and place where an article whose performance is greatly affected by oxidation or an article that adversely affects the human body, which has been stored, is affected after opening.
