Method for determining a RFID tag attaching position in a packing case for receiving injection vials}

The present invention relates to a method for determining an RFID tag attachment position, and more particularly, an injection vial storage case capable of determining an optimal attachment position for an RFID tag attached to a packaging case for storing an injection vial for inventory and distribution management. It relates to a method for determining the attachment position of the RFID tag.

Recently, various wireless recognition technologies have been developed and used instead of using barcode recognition technology to produce and import and manage medicines, or to perform a purchase price calculation at a pharmacy.

The wireless recognition technology processes data by recognizing the RFID tag embedded with unique information that can be distinguished from each other in a wireless recognition device including a normal reader / writer, and processing data. As a technology that can be applied to various fields such as management, as the chip applied with RFID technology is attached to the case for storing medicines, the utilization aspect of the technology such as large inventory identification, security, copy protection, distribution path tracking, There are many advantages over barcodes in terms of functionality such as recognition distance, obstacle limitation, and read / write speed.

However, in the case of medicines such as injection vials, the presence of the inner liquid and the outer vial are made of glass metal, or the use of an aluminum cap to attach the RFID tag to the outer surface of the container. Since the frequency recognition rate is remarkably lowered by scattering / refracting RF electromagnetic wave transmission and reception of the tag antenna, it is not easy to accurately recognize information and process data, and thus it is not easy to introduce a wireless recognition device.

Accordingly, the wireless recognition tag was attached to the upper surface of the lid of the storage container without contact with the liquid medium by using an adhesive or an adhesive cover, but due to the influence of moisture present in the air or a sudden external shock, There is a problem that may cause damage, there is a possibility of loss by detachment, in order to solve this problem, Korean Patent No. 10-0615387 has a configuration to insert and install a wireless identification tag inside the lid of the container Although disclosed, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply to the full range of drugs in that a separate container must be manufactured.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to determine that the attachment position of the RFID tag to the case in which the injection vial is optimal without any change to the existing injection vials, It is to provide a method for determining the attachment position of the RFID tag of the injection vial storage case that can improve the recognition rate.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an injection vial storage case in which an RFID tag is attached at an optimal position to improve recognition rate.

In order to achieve this object, as an embodiment of the present invention, a method for determining an attachment position of a FRID tag of an injection vial storage case includes: scanning a front positional relationship between a case and an injection vial stored in the case; Scanning the spaced apart portion of the vial from the case in the scanned shape; And determining a portion at which the separation distance between the case and the vial is maximized as an attachment position of the RFID chip.

The injection vial is provided with an aluminum joint material, and the RFID tag is preferably in the form of a linear tag.

The RFID tag is attached to the case at the height position of the neck of the vial.

As another embodiment of the present invention, an injection vial storage case with an RFID tag is included.

According to the present invention, in the case in which the injection vial is accommodated, the RFID tag is attached to a portion where the separation distance between the case and the vial is maximized, thereby improving the recognition rate of the RFID.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention, which is only an example, and the present invention is limited thereto. It is not.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which an injection vial is accommodated in a case and a state in which an RFID tag is attached, according to an embodiment of the method of determining an attachment position of an RFID tag of a case containing an injection vial of the present invention. In the case 10 containing the injection vial of the present invention, a plurality of injection vials 30 and two rows of five injection vials are stored. Of course, the quantity and storage form may vary depending on the type of contents to be filled in the injection vial.

The injection vial 30 is a glass container that can be administered several times. The upper portion of the main body 32 is sealed with a rubber stopper 34 and covered with an aluminum joint 38 thereon. The main body 32 maintains the sterility of the injection used, is free of pyrogenic substances, free of foreign substances, can maintain a high purity, can easily test the contents of the drug, during the process or transport It is desirable to be able to withstand shock and to satisfactorily guarantee the shelf life of the product.

The interior of the injection vial 30 is filled with the contents of the liquid or powder state, the liquid injection is to be taken out immediately by using a syringe, the powder injection is used by dissolving with water when using. In addition, since the decomposition of the medicine proceeds slowly in the powder state than in the liquid state, in view of the stability of the medicine, it is common to lyophilize the liquid injection and distribute it in the powder state.

As described above, the RFID tag 20 is attached to the case 10 in which the injection vial 30 is accommodated for logistics management, inventory management, attendance management, and the like. Since there is a metal, glass, etc., it attaches at the optimal position which considers that it affects the radio wave absorption / reflection of a tag.

In this embodiment, as the aluminum fitting 38 is provided in the injection vial 30, the height of the neck portion 36 of the injection vial 30 is avoided to avoid contact between the metal component and the RFID tag 20. The RFID tag 20 is attached to the case 10, and as an exemplary embodiment, the RFID tag 20 may be a linear tag, where the linear tag is a tag having an elongated RFID tag antenna design. it means. The RFID tag may also be attached laterally.

As described above, the attachment position of the RFID tag 20 of the case 10 containing the injection vial 30 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

First, the front positional relationship between the case 10 in which the injection vial 30 is accommodated and the injection vial 30 accommodated in the case 10 is scanned (S100). Here, the frontal positional relationship between the case 10 and the injection vial 30 is for determining the positional relationship between the outer surface of the injection vial 30 and the inner surface of the case 10, and an internal 3D scanner may be used.

Subsequently, in the scanned shape, the part spaced apart from the inside of the injection vial 30 from the case 10 is scanned (S200), and the distance between the case 10 and the injection vial 30 is maximized. Determine the attachment position of the RFID tag 20 (S300).

For example, when the neck portion 36 of the injection vial 30 is narrowed, the separation distance between the case 10 and the injection vial 30 is maximized in the neck portion 36 of the injection vial 30. As a result, the RFID tag 20 may be attached to the case 10 at the height position of the neck portion 36 of the injection vial 30. In this way, the RFID tag 20 is attached to the portion at which the separation distance between the case 10 and the injection vial 30 is maximized, and radio wave absorption of the RFID tag 20 is caused by a fluid or the like embedded in the injection vial 30. The influence on the reflection can be minimized, thereby improving the recognition rate of the RFID tag.

The method of determining the attachment position of the RFID tag according to the present invention has been described as a specific embodiment, but this is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto and is interpreted as having the widest range according to the basic idea disclosed in the present specification. It should be noted, those skilled in the art can easily change the material, size, etc. of each component according to the application.
