Description

The present invention relates to a liquid article management method for managing an article the liquid contained in the container such as a bottle.

  Generally, wine transported from abroad is bottled by an overseas processor, and is transported by being accommodated in a carton, for example, in units of 12 bottles. The wine thus transported is then picked up by a domestic importer, delivered to the seller via a predetermined distribution channel, and sold by the seller.

  However, in the case of wine that is bottled and transported from abroad as described above, there may be a shortage of the number of bottles contained in the carton or a shortage of wine capacity in the bottle. Therefore, during the transportation of wine as described above, the weight of the carton is manually checked, and when it is not considered to be a normal weight, the carton is opened and the inspection in the carton is performed. However, such a manual operation is not preferable because it is difficult to accurately confirm an insufficient number of bottles or a shortage of wine capacity, and an increase in labor costs will occur.

Here, a plurality of IC tags capable of writing and reading information in a non-contact state are pasted on the side wall of the container in which the liquid is stored, and any of the plurality of IC tags. One IC tag that can detect the volume of the liquid in the container depending on whether the information is read from the container or can write and read information in a non-contact state is attached to the side wall of the container in which the liquid is stored. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for detecting the volume of a liquid in a container by using a radio wave output capable of reading information from the IC tag.
JP 2004-224470 A

  Among the techniques described in Patent Document 1 described above, when a shortage of wine volume is detected using a technique for detecting the volume of the liquid based on the reading results from a plurality of IC tags, the liquid level is a specified amount of wine. If two IC tags are attached to the bottle across the part and the information is read from only one of the two IC tags, it can be confirmed that the wine is contained in a regular capacity in the bottle. In that case, at least two IC tags must be attached to each bottle, and there is a problem that it takes time and cost. Therefore, it is conceivable to attach one IC tag immediately below the portion that becomes the liquid level of the specified amount of wine, and confirm that the capacity is insufficient when information is read from this IC tag. However, in that case, information cannot be read from an IC tag attached to a bottle containing a specified amount of wine, so the number of bottles contained in a bottle case such as a carton cannot be confirmed.

  Further, among the techniques described in Patent Document 1, wine is detected using a technique for detecting the volume of liquid in the container by the output of radio waves that can read information from one IC tag attached to the side wall of the container. In the case of detecting a shortage of capacity, there is a problem that the output of the radio wave used for reading must be changed and adjusted on the reading device side that reads information from the IC tag, and the processing becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art as described above, and is a liquid article stored in a container and managed by storing the container in a box. It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid article management method capable of managing the quantity of articles and the number of containers accommodated in a box without complicating processing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
When a liquid article is stored in a container and managed by the container being stored in a box, when the liquid article is stored in a predetermined amount in the container and the container is stored in the horizontal box, an antenna is provided. An RF-ID medium in which the unique information is written and the unique information can be read in a non-contact state is provided in the container so that the section is along the region that does not face the liquid article and becomes the liquid level of the liquid article. A liquid article management method for managing the amount of the liquid article contained in the container and the number of the containers accommodated in the box by attaching and reading the unique information from the RF-ID medium,
Reading information from the RF-ID media in a state where the box containing the container is horizontal;
And reading information from the RF-ID medium in a state where the box containing the container is tilted.

  In the present invention configured as described above, the RF-ID media antenna portion attached to the container is not opposed to the liquid article in a state where the box in which the container is accommodated is horizontal. When the information is read from the ID medium, the information is read from the RF-ID media attached to all the containers accommodated in the box. Thereby, the number of containers accommodated in the box is recognized. After that, when the box is tilted, in the container in which the liquid article is accommodated in the specified amount, the antenna part of the attached RF-ID media comes to face the liquid article, and the storage amount of the liquid article is the specified amount. On the other hand, in a container having insufficient capacity, the antenna part of the attached RF-ID media remains in a state of not facing the liquid article. Since the RF-ID media cannot read information when the antenna part faces the liquid article, it is recognized that there are not enough containers for the number of RF-ID media whose information is read with the box tilted. Is done.

Further, for a liquid article stored in a container and managed by being stored in a box, the liquid article is stored in a predetermined amount in the container, and the container is stored in the horizontal box. An RF-ID medium in which unique information is written and the unique information can be read in a non-contact state so that the antenna section faces the liquid article and is along the liquid surface of the liquid article. A liquid article management method for managing an amount of the liquid article contained in the container and a number of the containers accommodated in the box by attaching the container to the container and reading the unique information from the RF-ID medium. And
Reading information from the RF-ID media in a state where the box containing the container is horizontal;
And reading information from the RF-ID medium in a state where the box containing the container is tilted.

  In the present invention configured as described above, in a state in which the box body in which the container is accommodated is horizontal, the container in which the liquid article is accommodated in the container accommodated in the box is attached. In the case where the antenna part of the RF-ID media faces the liquid article, and the capacity of the liquid article is insufficient for the specified amount, the antenna part of the attached RF-ID media is the liquid. It is in a state not facing the article. Since RF-ID media cannot read information in a state where the antenna part faces the liquid article, the number of containers of the number of RF-ID media from which information is read without tilting the box is insufficient. Is recognized. Thereafter, when the box is tilted, the antenna part of the RF-ID media attached to all the containers accommodated in the box does not face the liquid article. Therefore, the number of containers accommodated in the box is recognized by the number of RF-ID media from which information is read with the box tilted.

  In the present invention configured as described above, does the antenna part of one IC module part of the two IC module parts of the RF-ID media attached to the container have a prescribed amount of liquid article? Regardless, the information is read because it does not face the liquid article. Therefore, the number of containers accommodated in the box is recognized based on the number of read IC module portions. The antenna part of the other IC module part of the two IC module parts of the RF-ID media attached to the container is opposed to the liquid article in the container in which the liquid article is accommodated in a predetermined amount. In a container whose capacity is insufficient with respect to the specified amount, the container does not face the liquid article. Since the IC module unit cannot read information in a state where the antenna unit faces the liquid article, it is recognized that the number of containers corresponding to the number of IC modules from which the information has been read is insufficient.

  As described above, in the present invention, an RF-ID medium is attached to a container in which a liquid article is accommodated, and the box body in which the container is accommodated is placed in a horizontal state or tilted, whereby the RF attached to the container. -With respect to a liquid article that is stored in a container and managed by storing the container in a box by a non-complex process such as making the antenna part of the ID media face or not face the liquid article, The amount of liquid articles and the number of containers accommodated in the box can be managed.

  In addition, when an RF-ID medium having two IC module units capable of reading information in a non-contact state is stored in a container in a predetermined amount, one of the two IC module units. Even if the antenna part of the other IC module is attached to the container so that the antenna part of the other IC module part faces the liquid article and information is read from this IC module, the result of reading information from the IC module For liquid articles that are stored in a container and managed by storing the container in a box without complicating processing, the amount of liquid articles in the container and the container stored in the box Can manage the number of.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a view showing a non-contact type IC label which is an RF-ID medium used in the first embodiment of the liquid article management method of the present invention, and FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view along the line AA ′ shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the non-contact type IC label 10 used in this embodiment is formed on one surface of a long base substrate 13 made of resin, paper, or the like so as to have a gap therebetween. An antenna section 12 composed of two strip-shaped conductors 12a and 12b is formed, and is connected in a non-contact state at a frequency band of 2.45 GHz so that the two conductors 12a and 12b are connected to regions facing each other. An IC chip 11 capable of reading information is mounted and configured. Further, the antenna portion 12 is formed, and the adhesive 14 is applied to the entire surface on which the IC chip 11 is mounted.

  In the non-contact type IC label 10 configured as described above, the radio wave generated by the information reading device is attached to the article by the adhesive 14 and brought close to an information reading device (not shown) provided outside. As a result, the antenna unit 12 resonates and a current is generated in the antenna unit 12, thereby reading information written in the IC chip 11.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a method of applying the non-contact type IC label 10 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the non-contact type IC label 10 shown in FIG. 1 is affixed to a bottle 20 that is a container in the present invention. The bottle 20 contains wine as a liquid article to be managed. The non-contact type IC label 10 contains a specified amount of wine in the bottle 20 and the bottle case 30 in which the bottle 20 is horizontal. When housed in (see FIG. 3), the antenna portion 12 composed of the conductors 12a and 12b is attached so as to be along the specified liquid surface position 21 that does not face wine and becomes the wine surface. Further, since the non-contact type IC label 10 is long as shown in FIG. 1, the non-contact type IC label 10 is stuck so as to surround the outer periphery of the bottle 20.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing a bottle case in which the bottle 20 shown in FIG. 2 is accommodated.

  The bottles 20 shown in FIG. 2 are accommodated and transported in a bottle case that is a box for each predetermined number. For example, in the bottle case 30 shown in FIG. 3, a partition member 32 is fitted in a frame member 31, and twelve bottle storage portions 33 are formed by the partition member 32. After each bottle 20 is accommodated in the bottle accommodating portion 33, it is sealed and transported by a lid (not shown). The partition member 32 may be configured to be removable from the frame member 31 or may be integrated with the frame member 31.

  Management for managing the amount of wine stored in the bottle 20 and the number of bottles 20 stored in the bottle case 30 for the wine stored in the bottle 20 with the non-contact IC label 10 attached as described above. A method will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a management apparatus for realizing the first embodiment of the liquid article management method of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the management apparatus of this example is built in the conveyors 1a to 1f that transport the bottle case 30 in which the bottles 20 shown in FIG. 2 are accommodated, and the gate 4a that is disposed adjacent to the conveyor 1a. The reader / writer 5a that reads information from the non-contact type IC label 10 attached to the bottle 20 in the bottle case 30 that has been conveyed on the conveyor 1a, and the bottle case 30 based on the reading result of the reader / writer 5a. A switching machine 2a for switching the transport direction, a bottle case 30 that has been transported on the conveyor 1b is mounted, a tilting table 6 that tilts the mounted bottle case 30, and a gate that is disposed adjacent to the tilting table 6 From the non-contact type IC label 10 affixed to the bottle 20 in the bottle case 30 which is built in 4b and placed on the tilting table 6 and tilted. The reader / writer 5b for reading information, the switching device 2b for switching the transport direction of the bottle case 30 based on the reading result by the reader / writer 5b, the reader / writers 5a and 5b, the switching devices 2a and 2b, and the tilting table 6 are controlled. It is comprised from the control part 3 which performs.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a liquid article management method using the management apparatus shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, when a specified amount of wine is stored in the bottle 20 and the bottle 20 is stored in a horizontal bottle case 30 as shown in FIG. In addition, the non-contact type IC label 10 is pasted so that the antenna section 12 composed of the conductors 12a and 12b does not face the wine and is along the specified liquid level position 21 that is the liquid level of the wine.

  And wine is accommodated in the bottle 20 with the non-contact type IC label 10 affixed, and when the bottle case 30 in which the bottle 20 is accommodated is placed on the conveyor 1a and conveyed, first, the gate 4a. In the built-in reader / writer 5a, information is read from the non-contact type IC label 10 attached to the bottle 20 in the bottle case 30 conveyed on the conveyor 1a (step S1). At this time, since the transport surface of the conveyor 1a is horizontal, information is read by the reader / writer 5a in a state where the bottle case 30 is horizontal.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which wine is accommodated in the bottle 20 illustrated in FIG. 2, (a) is a diagram illustrating a state in which a specified amount of wine is accommodated, and (b) is a diagram illustrating the amount of wine accommodated. It is a figure which shows the state which is insufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the wine 22 is accommodated in the bottle 20 in a specified amount, the non-contact type IC label 10 does not oppose the wine and the antenna portion 12 composed of the conductors 12a and 12b and the wine 20 liquid. Since the bottle 20 is placed in a horizontal state, the amount of wine 22 accommodated even when the bottle 22 contains a specified amount of wine 22 because the bottle 20 is in a horizontal state. Even if the amount of water is insufficient, the liquid level 23 of the wine 22 exists under the non-contact type IC label 10, so that the antenna unit 12 of the non-contact type IC label 10 is different from the wine 22. Not opposite. Therefore, in the reader / writer 5a, information is read from all the non-contact type IC labels 10 attached to the bottle 20 accommodated in the bottle case 30.

  Since the unique ID is written in the IC chip 11 of the non-contact type IC label 10 affixed to the bottle 20, the control unit 3 has a non-contact type IC in which information is read by the reader / writer 5a. The number of labels 10, that is, the number of bottles 20 accommodated in the bottle case 30 can be recognized. In the control unit 3, the number of bottles 20 to be accommodated in the bottle case 30 is managed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, since the bottle case 30 contains 12 bottles 20, the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 10 read by the reader / writer 5a is 12. It is confirmed by the control part 3 whether it is (step S2).

  When the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 10 read by the reader / writer 5a is 12, the direction of the switching machine 2a is switched by the control of the control unit 3, and has been conveyed on the conveyor 1a. The bottle case 30 is placed on the conveyor 1b and conveyed (step S3).

  When the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 10 read by the reader / writer 5a has not reached 12, the direction of the switching machine 2a is switched by the control of the control unit 3, and the conveyor 1a is moved over the conveyor 1a. The bottle cases 30 that have been transported are placed on the conveyor 1e and transported to the number of NG lines (step S4). Here, the fact that the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 10 read by the reader / writer 5a does not reach 12 means that the 12 bottles 20 defined in the bottle case 30 are not accommodated. It will be. Therefore, the controller 3 determines that the number of bottles 20 in the bottle case 30 is insufficient, and the bottle case 30 is conveyed to the number of NG lines. In the number NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened, the contents are confirmed, and the insufficient number of bottles 20 are accommodated. Further, if a display for displaying the shortage number of bottles 20 recognized by the control unit 3 is provided on the number NG line, the shortage number can be grasped based on the information displayed on the display.

  On the other hand, the bottle case 30 placed and conveyed on the conveyor 1b is placed on the tilt table 6. The tilt table 6 is provided with a sensor (not shown) for detecting that the bottle case 30 is placed by weight or the like. When the sensor detects that the bottle case 30 is placed, the control is performed. The placement surface of the tilting table 6 is tilted by the control of the unit 3. Thereby, the bottle case 30 placed on the tilting table 6 is tilted (step S5). The operation of the tilting table 6 may be performed by a configuration in which the mounting surface is tilted by a motor or the like about the axis, or one end of the tilting table 6 is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder or the like. The configuration may be such that the surface is inclined. In addition, since the bottle case 30 does not fall off the tilting table 6 when the mounting surface is tilted, the mounting surface of the tilting table 6 is affixed with a non-slip material such as a rubber material, or a stopper (not fixed) on one end. It is also conceivable to provide such as FIG.

  In the state where the mounting surface of the tilting table 6 is tilted by the control of the control unit 3, that is, in the state where the bottle case 30 mounted on the tilting table 6 is tilted, in the reader / writer 5b built in the gate 4b, Information is read from the non-contact type IC label 10 affixed to the bottle 20 in the bottle case 30 placed on the tilting table 6 (step S6).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state of the bottle 20 accommodated in the bottle case 30 inclined by the inclined table 6 illustrated in FIG. 4, and (a) is a diagram illustrating a state in which a specified amount of wine is accommodated. b) is a diagram showing a state in which the wine capacity is insufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the wine 22 is accommodated in the bottle 20 in a specified amount, the non-contact type IC label 10 is affixed to an area where the antenna portion 12 including the conductors 12a and 12b does not face the wine. Since the antenna unit 12 is attached along the specified liquid level position 21 that is the liquid level of the wine 20, when the specified amount of wine 22 is accommodated in the bottle 20, the bottle case 30 is tilted. When the bottle 20 is tilted, as shown in FIG. 7A, a part of the antenna portion 12 of the non-contact type IC label 10 attached to the bottle 20 faces the wine 22. The non-contact type IC label 10 affixed to the bottle 20 cannot read information when the antenna unit 12 faces a liquid such as wine 22, so that a specified amount of wine 22 is accommodated in the bottle 20. If the bottle 20 is tilted by tilting the bottle case 30, the information cannot be read by the reader / writer 5b.

  On the other hand, when the capacity of the wine 22 is insufficient, even if the bottle 20 is tilted by tilting the bottle case 30, the non-contact IC label affixed to the bottle 20 as shown in FIG. The ten antenna units 12 do not face the wine 22. Therefore, information is read from the non-contact type IC label 10 in the reader / writer 5b.

  The bottle case 30 that has been placed on the tilting table 6 and has finished reading information in the reader / writer 5b is pushed out of the tilting table 6 by an extrusion mechanism (not shown) provided on the tilting table 6 and then on the conveyor 1c. Then, it is transported on the conveyor 1c and placed on the switching machine 2b.

  In the control unit 3, it is confirmed whether information is read from the non-contact type IC label 10 by the reader / writer 5b (step S7).

  When information is not read from the non-contact type IC label 10 by the reader / writer 5b, the direction of the switching machine 2b is switched by the control of the control unit 3, and the bottle case 30 conveyed on the conveyor 1b is transferred to the conveyor 1d. It is placed on and conveyed to the OK line (step S8). Here, the fact that the reader / writer 5b has not read the information from all the non-contact type IC labels 10 means that the specified amount of wine is stored in all the bottles 20 stored in the bottle case 30 as described above. Will be. Therefore, in the control unit 3, it is determined that 12 bottles 20 are accommodated in the bottle case 30, and that a predetermined amount of wine is accommodated in all the 12 bottles 20. Is transported to the OK line.

  When the reader / writer 5b reads information from the non-contact type IC label 10, the direction of the switching machine 2b is switched by the control of the control unit 3, and the bottle case 30 conveyed on the conveyor 1b is transferred to the conveyor. It is placed on 1f and conveyed to the capacity NG line (step S9). Here, the fact that information is read from the non-contact type IC label 10 by the reader / writer 5b means that the amount of wine contained in the bottle 20 contained in the bottle case 30 is insufficient as described above. Bottle 20 is present. Here, as described above, since the unique ID is written in the IC chip 11 of the non-contact type IC label 10 affixed to the bottle 20, the control unit 3 uses the reader / writer 5b for information. Can be recognized, that is, the number of bottles 20 in which the wine capacity is insufficient. Therefore, in the control unit 3, although the 12 bottles 20 are accommodated in the bottle case 30, the non-contact type IC label whose information is read by the reader / writer 5b out of the 12 bottles 20. It is determined that the amount of wine contained in the number of bottles 20 corresponding to the number 10 is insufficient, and the bottle case 30 containing the bottles 20 is conveyed to the capacity NG line. In the capacity NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened and the contents are confirmed, the bottle 20 with insufficient wine capacity is taken out, and replaced with the bottle 20 containing a specified amount of wine. Further, if a display for displaying the number of bottles 20 recognized as insufficient by the control unit 3 is provided on the capacity NG line, the number of bottles 20 whose capacity is insufficient based on the information displayed on the display. Can be grasped.

  The tilt angle of the tilt table 6 described above is set according to a reference allowable range for determining the amount of wine 22 contained in the bottle 20. For example, even when the capacity of the wine 22 in the bottle 20 is as shown in FIG. 7B, if the bottle 20 is further tilted by further tilting the bottle case 30, the wine 22 becomes non-contact type. It faces the antenna portion 12 of the IC label 10. Therefore, when the allowable range of the standard for determining the amount of wine 22 contained in the bottle 20 is narrow, that is, when the amount of wine contained in the bottle 20 is strictly determined with respect to the specified amount, the tilt table 6 is used. The wine 22 must face the antenna portion 12 of the non-contact type IC label 10 even when the bottle 20 is tilted small, and the amount of wine 22 contained in the bottle 20 is determined. When the allowable range of the reference is wide, that is, when it is judged that the amount of wine contained in the bottle 20 is loose relative to the specified amount, the tilt angle of the tilt table 6 is increased and the bottle 20 is tilted greatly. In this case, it is conceivable that the wine 22 is configured to face the antenna unit 12 of the non-contact type IC label 10.

It is a figure which shows the state which is insufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the non-contact type IC label 110 has an antenna portion 112 composed of conductors 112 a and 112 b attached to a region facing the wine 122 when a specified amount of wine 122 is stored in the bottle 120. Therefore, if the bottle 120 is in a horizontal state, the antenna portion 112 of the non-contact type IC label 110 faces the wine 122 when a specified amount of wine 122 is accommodated in the bottle 120. The non-contact type IC label 110 attached to the bottle 120 cannot read information when the antenna unit 112 faces a liquid such as wine 122. Therefore, when the bottle 120 is horizontal, When a specified amount of wine 122 is stored in the bottle 120, information is not read by the reader / writer 105b.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the non-contact type IC label 110 is a specified liquid in which the antenna portion 112 including the conductors 112 a and 112 b becomes the liquid level of the wine 120 when a specified amount of wine 122 is stored in the bottle 120. When the bottle 20 is in a horizontal state and the amount of wine 122 is insufficient when the bottle 20 is horizontal, the liquid level 123 of the wine 122 is present below the non-contact type IC label 110. As a result, the antenna portion 112 of the non-contact type IC label 110 does not face the wine 122. For this reason, the reader / writer 105a reads information from the non-contact type IC label 110 attached to the bottle 120.

  In the control unit 103, as described above, it is confirmed whether or not information is read from the non-contact type IC label 110 by the reader / writer 105a (step S102), and the non-contact type IC label is read by the reader / writer 105b. When information is not read from 110, the direction of the switching machine 102a is switched under the control of the control unit 103, and the bottle case 30 that has been transported on the conveyor 101a is placed on the conveyor 101b and transported. (Step S103). Here, the fact that information has not been read from all the non-contact type IC labels 110 in the reader / writer 105a means that the amount of wine 122 contained in the bottle 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 as described above. There is no missing thing.

  When the reader / writer 105a reads information from the non-contact type IC label 110, the direction of the switching machine 102a is switched by the control of the control unit 103, and the bottle case 30 conveyed on the conveyor 101a is transferred to the conveyor. It is placed on 101e and conveyed to the capacity NG line (step S104). Here, the information read from the non-contact type IC label 110 by the reader / writer 105a means that the amount of wine 122 stored in the bottle 120 stored in the bottle case 30 is insufficient as described above. Bottle 120 is present. Here, since the unique ID is written in the IC chip 111 of the non-contact type IC label 110 affixed to the bottle 120, in the control unit 103, the information is read by the reader / writer 105a. It is possible to recognize the number of contact type IC labels 110, that is, the number of bottles 120 that have insufficient wine capacity. Therefore, in the control unit 103, the bottles 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 are accommodated in the number of bottles 120 equal to the number of the non-contact type IC labels 110 whose information is read by the reader / writer 105a. It is determined that the amount is insufficient, and the bottle case 30 containing the bottle 120 is conveyed to the capacity NG line. In the capacity NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened and the contents are confirmed, the bottle 120 with insufficient wine capacity is taken out, and replaced with the bottle 120 containing a specified amount of wine. Further, if a display for displaying the number of bottles 120 recognized as insufficient by the control unit 103 is provided on the capacity NG line, the number of bottles 120 whose capacity is insufficient based on the information displayed on the display. Can be grasped.

  The bottle case 30 placed and conveyed on the conveyor 101b is placed on the multidirectional tilting table 106. The multi-directional tilt base 106 is provided with a sensor (not shown) for detecting that the bottle case 30 is placed by weight or the like. When the sensor detects that the bottle case 30 is placed by the sensor. The placement surface of the multidirectional tilt base 106 is sequentially tilted in multiple directions under the control of the control unit 103. Thereby, the bottle case 30 placed on the multidirectional tilting table 106 is sequentially tilted in multiple directions (step S105). The operation of the multidirectional tilting table 106 is performed so that the mounting surface of the bottle case 30 is sequentially tilted in the direction of 360 degrees when viewed from the center of the multidirectional tilting table 106. It is also possible to attach a non-slip material such as a rubber material to the mounting surface of the multidirectional tilt base 106 so that the bottle case 30 does not fall off the multidirectional tilt base 106 when the mounting surface is tilted. It is done.

  When the placement surface of the multidirectional tilt base 106 is tilted by the control of the control unit 103, that is, in the state where the bottle case 30 placed on the multidirectional tilt base 106 is tilted, the reader / In the writer 105b, information is read from the non-contact type IC label 110 attached to the bottle 120 in the bottle case 30 placed on the multidirectional tilting table 106 (step S106).

  FIG. 13 is a view showing a state of the bottle 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 tilted by the multidirectional tilt base 106 shown in FIG. 10, and FIG. 13A is a non-contact type IC label 110 when the bottle 120 is tilted. The figure which shows the state from which the antenna part 112 of this no longer opposes the wine 122, (b) shows the state in which the antenna part 112 of the non-contact-type IC label 110 is facing the wine 122 even if the bottle 120 inclines. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the non-contact type IC label 110 attached to the bottle 120 is attached to a part of the outer periphery of the bottle 120 because it is not long. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, even when the bottle 120 is tilted by tilting the multi-directional tilt base 106, the antenna portion 112 of the non-contact type IC label 110 faces the wine 122 depending on the tilt direction. The case and the case where it does not oppose arise. When the antenna portion 112 of the non-contact type IC label 110 is opposed to the wine 122, even if the bottle 120 with the non-contact type IC label 110 attached is accommodated in the bottle case 30, the reader / writer 105b does not Information is not read from the contact type IC label 110, and it cannot be confirmed that the bottle 120 is accommodated in the bottle case 30. Therefore, in this embodiment, the multidirectional tilt base 106 is tilted so that the placement surface of the bottle case 30 is sequentially tilted in the direction of 360 degrees when viewed from the center of the multidirectional tilt base 106. Therefore, while the multi-directional tilt base 106 is sequentially tilted in the direction of 360 degrees when viewed from the center, all of the bottles 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 are attached to the non-contact type IC label 110 attached. A state in which the antenna unit 112 does not face the wine 122 occurs. In this state, when the reader / writer 105b continues to read the non-contact type IC label 110, information on all of the bottles 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 is received from the non-contact type IC label 110 attached. Can be read. The control unit 103 can recognize the number of non-contact type IC labels 110 whose information has been read by the reader / writer 105 b, that is, the number of bottles 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30. The reader / writer 105b reads a unique ID from the non-contact type IC label 110. The reader / writer 105b transmits the ID from the non-contact type IC label 110 to the control unit 103. It may be performed every time information is read, or after information reading processing from the non-contact type IC label 110 for one bottle case 30 is completed. When an ID is transmitted from the reader / writer 105b to the control unit 103 after the process of reading information from the non-contact type IC label 110 for one bottle case 30 is completed, between the reader / writer 105b and the control unit 103 The amount of traffic can be reduced.

  In the control unit 103, the number of bottles 120 to be accommodated in the bottle case 30 is managed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, since the bottle case 30 contains 12 bottles 120, the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 110 read by the reader / writer 105b is 12. Whether or not is confirmed by the control unit 103 (step S107).

  The bottle case 30 that has been placed on the multidirectional tilting table 106 and has finished reading information by the reader / writer 105b is removed from the multidirectional tilting table 106 by an extrusion mechanism (not shown) provided on the multidirectional tilting table 106. Extruded and placed on the conveyor 101c, then transported on the conveyor 101c and placed on the switching machine 102b.

  When the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 110 read by the reader / writer 105b is 12, the direction of the switching machine 102b is switched by the control of the control unit 103, and is conveyed on the conveyor 101c. The bottle case 30 is placed on the conveyor 101d and conveyed to the OK line (step S108). Here, the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 110 read by the reader / writer 105b is 12, as described above, the 12 bottles 120 are accommodated in the bottle case 30. It will be. Therefore, the control unit 103 determines that 12 bottles 120 are accommodated in the bottle case 30 and that a specified amount of wine is accommodated in all the 12 bottles 120. Is transported to the OK line.

  When the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 110 read by the reader / writer 105b has not reached 12, the direction of the switching machine 102b is switched under the control of the control unit 103, and the conveyor 101c is moved over the conveyor 101c. The bottle case 30 that has been transported is placed on the conveyor 101f and transported to the number of NG lines (step S109). Here, the fact that the number of unique IDs of the non-contact type IC label 110 read by the reader / writer 105b has not reached 12 means that the 12 bottles 120 defined in the bottle case 30 are not accommodated. It will be. For this reason, the control unit 103 determines that the number of bottles 120 in the bottle case 30 is insufficient and transports the bottles to the number NG line. In the number NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened, the contents are confirmed, and the bottles 120 corresponding to the shortage are accommodated. Further, if a display for displaying the shortage number of bottles 120 recognized by the control unit 103 is provided on the number NG line, the shortage number can be grasped based on information displayed on the display.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 14 is a view showing a non-contact type IC label which is an RF-ID medium used in the third embodiment of the liquid article management method of the present invention, and FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view along the line AA ′ shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the non-contact type IC label 210 used in this embodiment is information in a non-contact state in a frequency band of 2.45 GHz on one surface of a base substrate 213 made of resin, paper, or the like. The IC module units 210-1 and 210-2 are configured to have a gap between the IC module units 210-1 and 210-2. Antenna sections 212-1, 212-2 formed of two strip-shaped conductors 212a-1, 212b-1, 212a-2, 212b-2 and two conductors 212a-1, 212b-1, 212a. An IC chip 21 connected to the mutually opposing areas of −2, 212b-2 and mounted on the base substrate 213 and capable of reading information in a non-contact state at a frequency band of 2.45 GHz. And it is configured from the Metropolitan -1,211-2. Further, antenna portions 212-1 and 212-2 are formed, and an adhesive 214 is applied to the entire surface on which the IC chips 211-1 and 211-2 are mounted.

  In the non-contact type IC label 210 configured as described above, when it is attached to an article with an adhesive 214 and brought close to an information reading device (not shown) provided outside, radio waves generated by the information reading device are generated. As a result, the antenna units 212-1 and 212-2 resonate and current is generated in the antenna units 212-1 and 212-2, whereby the information written in the IC chips 211-1 and 211-2 is read. Since unique IDs are written in the IC chips 211-1 and 211-2, the two IC module units 210-1 and 210-2 can be identified by the IDs.

  FIG. 15 is a view showing a bottle to which the non-contact type IC label 210 shown in FIG. 14 is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the non-contact type IC label 210 shown in FIG. 14 is affixed to a bottle 220 that is a container of the present invention. The bottle 220 contains wine as a liquid article to be managed. The non-contact type IC label 210 contains a specified amount of wine in the bottle 220, and the bottle case 30 in which the bottle 220 is horizontal. The antenna unit 212-1 of one IC module unit 210-1 does not face wine and the antenna unit 212-2 of the other IC module unit 210-2 faces wine. In addition, when a specified amount of wine is stored in the bottle 220, the bottle 220 is affixed with a specified liquid level position 221 serving as the level of the wine.

  Hereinafter, in the state where the bottle 220 to which the non-contact type IC label 210 is attached as described above is accommodated in the bottle case 30 shown in FIG. A management method for managing the amount and the number of bottles 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a management apparatus for realizing the liquid article management method using the bottle 220 illustrated in FIG. 15.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the management apparatus of this example is incorporated in conveyors 201a to 201e that convey the bottle case 30 in which the bottles 220 shown in FIG. 15 are accommodated, and a gate 204 that is disposed adjacent to the conveyor 201a. The reader / writer 205 that reads information from the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220 in the bottle case 30 that has been conveyed on the conveyor 201a, and the bottle case 30 based on the reading result in the reader / writer 205. It comprises switching machines 202a and 202b that switch the transport direction, and a control unit 203 that controls the reader / writer 205 and switching machines 202a and 202b.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining a liquid article management method using the management apparatus shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15, when a specified amount of wine is stored in the bottle 220 and the bottle 220 is stored in a horizontal bottle case 30 as shown in FIG. In addition, the bottle 220 is arranged so that the antenna part 212-1 of one IC module part 210-1 does not face wine and the antenna part 212-2 of the other IC module part 210-2 faces wine. A non-contact type IC label 210 is pasted with a specified liquid level position 221 serving as a liquid level of wine when a specified amount of wine is stored.

  Then, wine is stored in the bottle 220 to which the non-contact type IC label 210 is attached, and when the bottle case 30 in which the bottle 220 is stored is placed on the conveyor 201a and conveyed, first, the gate 204 is loaded. In the built-in reader / writer 205, information is read from the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220 in the bottle case 30 conveyed on the conveyor 201a (step S201).

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a state in which wine is stored in the bottle 220 illustrated in FIG. 15, (a) is a diagram illustrating a state in which a specified amount of wine is stored, and (b) is a diagram illustrating the amount of wine stored. It is a figure which shows the state which is insufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the non-contact type IC label 210 is configured such that when a specified amount of wine is stored in the bottle 120, the antenna unit 212-1 of one IC module unit 210-1 does not face the wine, When the bottle 220 contains a specified amount of wine so that the antenna section 212-2 of the other IC module section 210-2 faces the wine, it is affixed across a specified liquid level position 221 that becomes the liquid level of the wine. Therefore, in the IC module part 210-1, even if the bottle 222 contains a specified amount of the wine 222 or the amount of the wine 222 is insufficient, the liquid of the wine 222 Therefore, the antenna unit 212-1 of the IC module unit 210-1 does not face the wine 222. Therefore, in the reader / writer 205, information is read from the IC module portions 210-1 of all the non-contact type IC labels 210 attached to the bottles 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30.

  Since the unique ID is written in the IC chip 211-1 of the IC module 210-1 of the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220, the reader / writer 205 performs the IC in the control unit 203. The number of non-contact type IC labels 210 whose information is read from the module 210-1, that is, the number of bottles 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 can be recognized. In the control unit 203, the number of bottles 220 to be accommodated in the bottle case 30 is managed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, since the bottle case 30 contains 12 bottles 220, the reader / writer 205 inherently reads the non-contact type IC label 210 read from the IC module 210-1. Whether or not the number of IDs is 12 is confirmed by the control unit 203 (step S202).

  Further, in the IC module part 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210, when the wine 222 is accommodated in the bottle 220 in a specified amount, the antenna part 212-2 faces the wine 222. The IC module part 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220 cannot be read when the antenna part 212-2 faces a liquid such as wine 222. When an amount of wine 222 is contained in the bottle 220, no information is read by the reader / writer 205.

  On the other hand, when the capacity of the wine 222 is insufficient, the liquid level 223 of the wine 222 exists at the lower part of the IC module unit 210-2, and thereby the IC module unit 210 of the non-contact type IC label 210. -2 antenna section 212-2 does not face wine 222. Therefore, the reader / writer 205 reads information from the IC module part 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220.

  When the number of unique IDs read from the IC module unit 210-1 in the reader / writer 205 is 12, the direction of the switching machine 202a is switched by the control of the control unit 203 and has been conveyed on the conveyor 201a. The bottle case 30 is placed on the conveyor 201c and conveyed (step S203).

  When the number of unique IDs read from the IC module unit 210-1 in the reader / writer 205 has not reached 12, the direction of the switching machine 202a is switched under the control of the control unit 203, and the conveyor 201a is moved over the conveyor 201a. The transported bottle case 30 is placed on the conveyor 201b and transported to the number of NG lines (step S204). Here, the number of unique IDs read from the IC module unit 210-1 by the reader / writer 205 does not reach 12, which means that the bottle case 30 does not contain the 12 bottles 220 that are specified. It will be. Therefore, the control unit 203 determines that the number of bottles 220 in the bottle case 30 is insufficient, and the bottle case 30 is conveyed to the number of NG lines. In the number NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened, the contents are confirmed, and the insufficient number of bottles 220 are accommodated. Further, if a display for displaying the shortage number of bottles 220 recognized by the control unit 203 is provided in the number NG line, the shortage number can be grasped based on the information displayed on the display.

  Further, in the control unit 203, it is confirmed whether or not the unique ID is read from the IC module unit 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210 by the reader / writer 205 (step S205).

  When the reader / writer 205 does not read the unique ID from the IC module unit 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210, the direction of the switching unit 202b is switched by the control of the control unit 203 and is conveyed on the conveyor 201c. The bottle case 30 that has been placed is placed on the conveyor 201e and conveyed to the OK line (step S206). Here, the fact that the reader / writer 205 did not read information from the IC module part 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210 is defined for all the bottles 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 as described above. An amount of wine will be accommodated. Therefore, the control unit 203 determines that the twelve bottles 220 are accommodated in the bottle case 30 and that a specified amount of wine is accommodated in all the twelve bottles 220. Is transported to the OK line.

  Further, when the reader / writer 205 reads a unique ID from the IC module unit 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210, the direction of the switching machine 202b is switched by the control of the control unit 203, and the direction on the conveyor 201c is changed. The bottle case 30 that has been transported is placed on the conveyor 201d and transported to the capacity NG line (step S207). Here, when the reader / writer 205 reads the unique ID from the IC module part 210-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210, as described above, it is in the bottle 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30. In other words, there is a bottle 220 that has insufficient wine capacity. Here, as described above, the unique ID is written in the IC chips 211-1 and 211-2 of the non-contact type IC label 210 attached to the bottle 220. / The writer 205 can recognize the number of non-contact type IC labels 210 whose information has been read from the IC module unit 210-2, that is, the number of bottles 220 having insufficient wine capacity. Therefore, in the control unit 203, although 12 bottles 220 are accommodated in the bottle case 30, information is read from the IC module unit 210-2 by the reader / writer 205 out of the 12 bottles 220. It is determined that the amount of wine contained in the number of bottles 220 corresponding to the number of non-contact type IC labels 210 is insufficient, and the bottle case 30 containing the bottles 220 is conveyed to the capacity NG line. In the capacity NG line, it is conceivable that the bottle case 30 is opened and the contents are confirmed, the bottle 220 with insufficient wine capacity is taken out, and replaced with the bottle 220 containing a specified amount of wine. Further, if a display for displaying the number of bottles 220 recognized as insufficient in capacity by the control unit 203 is provided on the capacity NG line, the number of bottles 220 whose capacity is insufficient based on the information displayed on the display. Can be grasped.

  In the three embodiments described above, the information is read from the non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, and 210 attached to the bottles 20, 120, and 220. Regarding the wine that is managed while the bottles 20, 120, and 220 are accommodated in the bottle case 30, the amount of wine contained in the bottles 20, 120, and 220 and the number of the bottles 20, 120, and 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 are determined. Although managed, it is also conceivable to manage these by changing the communication distance of the non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, 210 attached to the bottles 20, 120, 220. As a method for this, by utilizing the fact that the communicable distance of the non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, 210 decreases when a part of the conductor faces the liquid surface, the radio waves of the reader / writers 5b, 105a, 205 are used. By adjusting the communicable distance between the reader / writers 5b, 105a, 205 and the non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, 210 by adjusting the output, etc. / Methods such as arranging the writers 5b, 105a, and 205 are conceivable.

  In the above-described three embodiments, the number of bottles 20, 120, and 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 is described as twelve, but the number is not limited to twelve. Even in that case, the number of bottles 20, 120, 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 is managed by the control units 3, 103, 203, and the information is read by the reader / writers 5a, 105b, 205. It will be compared with the number of non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, 210. In addition, the control units 3, 103, and 203 do not manage the number of bottles 20, 120, and 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30, but the bottles 20, 120, and 220 that are accommodated in the bottle case 30. A non-contact type IC label on which the number is written is affixed or a non-contact type IC tag is attached, and a non-contact type IC label affixed to the bottle case 30 or attached in the reader / writer 5a, 105b, 205. The number of bottles 20, 120, and 220 accommodated in the bottle case 30 is read from the non-contact type IC tag that has been read, and the number and information are read by the control units 3, 103, and 203. , 110, 210 may be compared. Further, in the control units 3, 103, and 203, the unique ID written on the non-contact type IC label attached to the bottle case 30 or the attached non-contact type IC tag and the bottle 20 accommodated in the bottle case 30. , 120, 220 are managed in association with each other, and the number associated with the ID read from the non-contact type IC label attached to the bottle case 30 or the attached non-contact type IC tag and the reader It is also conceivable to compare the number of non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, and 210 whose information has been read by the writers 5a, 105b, and 205. In that case, bar code information may be displayed instead of attaching a non-contact type IC label or attaching a non-contact type IC tag to the bottle case 30.

  It is also conceivable to write information such as the wine producing area on the non-contact type IC label attached to the bottle and manage the distribution process using this information.

  In the above-described three embodiments, each of the management devices shown in FIGS. 4, 10, and 16 is an example for realizing the liquid article management method in each embodiment. The liquid article management method in each embodiment can be realized even with different configurations. For example, in the management apparatus shown in FIGS. 4 and 10, the reader / writers 5 a and 105 b for confirming the number of bottles 20 and 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30, and the amount of wine contained in the bottles 20 and 120 The reader / writers 5b and 105a are used to check the number of bottles 20 and 120 accommodated in the bottle case 30 and the bottles 20 and 120 by one reader / writer. It is also conceivable to make a configuration for checking the amount of wine contained in the wine. Further, there is no need to adopt a configuration in which the bottle case 30 in which the bottles 20, 120, and 220 are accommodated is conveyed by a conveyor or the like. Further, the tilting of the bottle case 30 in which the bottles 20 and 120 are accommodated is not limited to the tilting table 6 shown in FIG. 4 or the multidirectional tilting table 106 shown in FIG.

  Also, instead of attaching a non-contact type IC label to a bottle containing wine, a tag storage unit is provided in a container such as a bottle, and a non-contact type IC tag is stored in the tag storage unit. What is necessary is just the structure which attaches RF-ID media to a container.

  Further, in the above-described three embodiments, wine has been described as an example of a liquid article stored and managed in a bottle, but it is a beverage other than beer or juice, or a liquid other than a beverage. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to the present invention.

  In the above-described three embodiments, the non-contact type IC labels 10, 110, and 210 having a dipole antenna are used. However, a non-contact type IC label having a monopole antenna may be used. In addition, since the spread of the liquid level when the container is tilted changes depending on the shape of the container (the cross-sectional area of the container near the liquid level), the shape of the container, the allowable range for insufficient capacity, the position where the label is applied, The tilt angle of the box shall be determined appropriately.
