Description

  The present invention stores a wireless IC tag that records various types of information about cables such as wiring routes, connection destinations, connection timings, and uses, and attaches and detaches them to the outer periphery of various cables such as optical fiber cords, optical fiber cables, or metal cables. The present invention relates to a wireless IC tag holder for mounting a cable that can be freely attached.

  Conventionally, in order to identify cables or record various information related to cables, a tape or label for identification is affixed to the protective coating around the cable, or various cable information is printed and displayed directly on the protective coating. This was confirmed by visual inspection.

  However, in the case of this visual confirmation, information cannot be confirmed due to deterioration or contamination over time due to peeling of the tape or label from the outer periphery of the cable or wear of the printed display portion, and the cable information has to be rewritten. There was a problem that sometimes it was not possible to respond easily.

In order to cope with such problems, the following Patent Document 1 discloses an IC tag in which cable information such as manufacturer, date of manufacture, standard, etc. is recorded on an insulator surface or an insulator for insulating a conductor in a cable. It has been proposed to directly embed and check information by a writer / reader without contact.
JP 2003-203527 A

  As described above, it has been proposed to embed the wireless IC tag in the cable insulator surface or in the insulator during the cable manufacturing process, but this increases the cable manufacturing cost and increases the user side. However, the wireless IC tag cannot be arbitrarily removed from or attached to the cable. In particular, if the wireless IC tag is embedded in the insulator of the cable, the IC tag is also discarded when the cable itself becomes unnecessary due to wiring change or the like, which is extremely disadvantageous economically.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and place a wireless IC tag in which various information about the cable such as the wiring route, connection destination, connection time, and usage is recorded in a synthetic resin holder. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cable mounting wireless IC tag holder that is housed and can be detachably attached to the outer periphery of various cables such as an optical fiber cord, an optical fiber cable, or a metal cable.

  If the structure of this invention for achieving the said objective is explained in full detail, the device which concerns on Claim 1 will have a holder main-body part which has a ditch | groove for inserting a cable, and a hinge part in the end of this holder main-body part. A tag holder lid formed by forming a space for accommodating the wireless IC tag arranged continuously through the cable, and a cable sandwiching lid arranged continuously through the hinge part at the other end of the holder body. A wireless IC tag holder for mounting a cable, wherein the tag holder lid and the cable sandwiching lid are bent in different directions so as to be detachably engageable with an engaging portion formed in the holder main body. It is.

  The invention according to claim 2 is provided with an elastic spring piece for pressing the inserted cable with an appropriate pressure in cooperation with the cable clamping lid in the groove for inserting the cable in the holder main body. The wireless IC tag holder for mounting a cable according to claim 1.

  Further, in the invention according to claim 3, a protrusion for holding the wireless IC tag in cooperation with the tag holder lid is formed on the opposite side of the holder body portion from the side where the concave groove for inserting the cable is provided. A wireless IC tag holder for mounting a cable according to claim 1 or 2.

  According to the present invention, since the wireless IC tag is not directly embedded in the protective covering portion of the cable, the wireless IC tag is held on the outer peripheral portion of a normal cable without affecting the cable manufacturing process. The holder can be attached or removed by a simple operation, so that it is possible to quickly change the wiring, etc., and rewriting and reading data with a portable information terminal such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) is easy without contact. Therefore, workability on site can be dramatically improved.

  In addition, in the groove for inserting the cable in the holder main body portion, there is provided an elastic spring piece that presses the inserted cables with an appropriate pressure in cooperation with the cable clamping lid. Cables such as optical cords inserted into the cable can be held between the holder main body and the cable clamp lid with an appropriate pressing force, and the mounting position can be prevented from shifting.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a wireless IC tag in which various information about a cable such as a wiring route, a connection destination, a connection time, and an application is recorded is stored in a synthetic resin tag holder, and this is connected to an optical fiber cord. It can be detachably attached to the outer periphery of various cables such as an optical fiber cable or a metal cable, and can solve the problems of the conventional method of attaching an identification tape or a label.

  In addition, since the wireless IC tag is not embedded in the protective coating or inserted between the insulator and the protective coating, it can be handled independently of the cable and removed from the cable when it is no longer needed. It can be replaced with a cable, and workability such as wiring change is greatly improved.

  Hereinafter, a specific configuration of a cable-mounted wireless IC tag holder according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.
