Abstract

The invention essentially relates to a passive RFID tag (sk2). Said tag is equipped with a receiver oscillating circuit (L, c2) for high-frequency energy in order to generate an operating voltage, and a permanent detuning or deactivation occurs if the thresholds of certain environmental conditions are exceeded, said detuning or deactivation preventing a response signal from being transmitted again in reply to high-frequency excitation. Said device permits the environmental conditions or operating conditions of products to be continuously monitored with the aid of an advantageous passive RFID technology. A brief disruption of a cooling chain or the temporary overheating of a component can thus be identified easily and permanently.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Vorrichtung zur Überwachung von Umweltbedingungen und deren VerwendungDevice for monitoring environmental conditions and their use
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Überwachung von Umweltbedingungen, die ein per Funk lesbares Sensorelement aufweist und die in einfacher Weise auf zu überwachenden Produkten befestigbar ist.The invention relates to a device for monitoring environmental conditions, which has a radio-readable sensor element and which can be fastened in a simple manner on products to be monitored.
Bislang wird die Überwachung physikalischer Umgebungsbedingungen auf mehrere Arten durchgeführt:So far, the monitoring of physical environmental conditions is carried out in several ways:
• Dedizierte Messgeräte, die gemeinsam mit den zu überwachenden Produkten transportiert oder aber in diese eingebaut wurden. Hierzu gehören auch so genannte aktive RFID-Tags, also einer Art Identifikations-Etiketten mit eigener Stromversorgung, die durch entsprechende Sensorik die gewünschten Messgrößen erfassen und per Funk übermitteln können. Eine Solche Vorrichtung ist bspw. aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 101 30 991 Al bekannt. Nachteilig ist dabei bspw., dass eine solche Vorrichtung, insbesondere für die Einzelüberwachung von Massenprodukten nicht möglich oder nicht wirtschaftlich sinnvoll ist.• Dedicated gauges that have been shipped with or incorporated into the monitored products. These include so-called active RFID tags, ie a kind of identification labels with their own power supply, which can detect the desired parameters by appropriate sensors and transmit by radio. Such a device is known, for example, from the German patent application DE 101 30 991 A1. The disadvantage here is, for example, that such a device, in particular for the individual monitoring of mass products is not possible or not economically reasonable.
• Zur Überwachung der Temperatur gibt es chemische Messstreifen, die einen irreversiblen Farbumschlag bei bestimmten Temperaturen zeigen.• To monitor the temperature, there are chemical gauges that show an irreversible color change at certain temperatures.
Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass diese Verfahren bislang nur für Temperaturbereiche zwischen ca. 3O0C und 25O0C existieren und keine maschinenlesbaren Ergebnisse bereitstellen.The disadvantage here is that these methods so far only for temperature ranges between about 3O 0 C and 25O 0 C exist and provide no machine-readable results.
Die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe besteht nun darin eine Vorrichtung zur Überwachung von Umweltbedingungen anzugeben, bei der die oben genannten Nachteile vermieden werden, die möglichst robust und zuverlässig ist und deren Verhalten oder Zustand sich bereits durch eine temporäre Überschreitung bestimmter Überwachungsgrenzen dauerhaft ändert .The object underlying the invention is now to provide a device for monitoring environmental conditions, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided, which is as robust and reliable and their behavior or condition is already by a temporary Exceeding certain monitoring limits changes permanently.
Die Erfindung besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem so genannten passiven RFID-Tag, bei dem zur Erzeugung einer Betriebsspannung ein Empfangsschwingkreis für Hochfrequenzenergie vorhanden ist und bei dem durch Überschreitung von Grenzen bestimmter Umweltbedingungen eine dauerhafte Verstimmung oder Deaktivierung bewirkt wird, so dass auf eine Hochfrequenz- anregung hin kein Antwortsignal mehr gesendet werden kann. Durch eine solche Vorrichtung können Umgebungsbedingungen oder Betriebszustände von Produkten mit Hilfe einer günstigen passiven RFID Technologie lückenlos überwacht werden. Eine kurze Unterbrechung einer Kühlkette oder eine kurzfristige Überhitzung einer technischen Komponente ist bspw. so leicht und dauerhaft nachweisbar.The invention consists essentially of a so-called passive RFID tag, in which for generating an operating voltage, a receiving resonant circuit for high frequency energy is present and in which by exceeding certain environmental limits, a permanent detuning or deactivation is effected, so that a high-frequency excitation out no answer signal can be sent. By means of such a device, environmental conditions or operating states of products can be monitored completely using a low-cost passive RFID technology. A brief interruption of a cold chain or a short-term overheating of a technical component is, for example, so easily and permanently detectable.
Die Erfindung wird nun nachfolgend anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Dabei zeigtThe invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawing. It shows
Figur 1 eine Darstellung eines unverstimmten Schwingkreises in einem RFID-Tag undFigure 1 is an illustration of an unsuitable resonant circuit in an RFID tag and
Figur 2 eine Darstellung eines nach Grenztemperaturüberschreitung dauerhaft verstimmten Schwingkreises in einem RFID-Tag.FIG. 2 shows a representation of a resonant circuit permanently detuned after exceeding the limit temperature in an RFID tag.
Passive RFIDs besitzen keine eigene Stromversorgung und sind durch ihren einfachen Aufbau auch bei Massenprodukten wirtschaftlich einsetzbar. Bei der Erfindung wird die sonst angestrebte Robustheit von passiven RFID-Tags gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen durch konstruktive Maßnahmen gerade gezielt unterbunden.Passive RFIDs do not have their own power supply and, thanks to their simple design, can be used economically even for mass products. In the invention, the otherwise desired robustness of passive RFID tags against environmental influences is just selectively prevented by constructive measures.
Bei der Erfindung wird der Empfangsschwingkreis durch die Änderung einer Umweltbedingung irreversibel „verstimmt", so dass der RFID-Tag nicht mehr sendebereit ist. Unter Verstimmung versteht man die Änderung der Resonanzfrequenz fRes des Schwingkreises, die durch eine Induktivität L der Spule bzw. Antenne sowie einer Kapazität C des Kondensators definiert wird.In the invention, the receiving resonant circuit is irreversibly "detuned" by the change of an environmental condition, so that the RFID tag is no longer ready to send Detuning is understood as the change of the resonant frequency f Res of the resonant circuit, which is defined by an inductance L of the coil or antenna and a capacitance C of the capacitor.

Die zu detektierende Änderung mindestens einer Umweltbedingung wird erfindungsgemäß durch Beeinflussung der Induktivität der Spule und/oder der Kapazität des Kondensators bewirkt.The change of at least one environmental condition to be detected is effected according to the invention by influencing the inductance of the coil and / or the capacitance of the capacitor.
Eine vorteilhafte Möglichkeit zur Beeinflussung der Induktivität ist in diesem Zusammenhang eine Änderung der relativen Permeabilität und/oder beim Kondensator eine Änderung der relativen Dielektrizitätszahl .An advantageous possibility for influencing the inductance in this context is a change in the relative permeability and / or the capacitor a change in the relative permittivity.
Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen beispielhaft und schematisch eine temperaturabhängig dauerhafte Änderung der Resonanzfrequenz eines RFID-Schwingkreises infolge dauerhafter Veränderung des im Schwingkreiskondensator enthaltenen Dielektrikums.Figures 1 and 2 show by way of example and schematically a temperature-dependent permanent change in the resonant frequency of an RFID resonant circuit due to permanent change in the dielectric contained in the resonant circuit capacitor.
In Figur 1 ist der Aufbau eines unverstimmten Schwingkreises SKl gezeigt, wobei der Schwingkreis eine Antennenspule L und einen dazu parallelgeschalteten Kondensator Cl mit einem porösen Dielektrikum D aufweist, das über eine flüssigkeitsleere Kapillare mit einem Flüssigkeitsbehälter verbunden ist, der eine Flüssigkeit Fl mit einer Temperatur unterhalb einer bestimmten Grenztemperatur enthält.FIG. 1 shows the structure of an unsocial resonant circuit SK1, the resonant circuit comprising an antenna coil L and a capacitor C1 connected in parallel with a porous dielectric D, which is connected via a liquid-empty capillary to a liquid container containing a liquid F1 having a temperature below contains a certain limit temperature.
In Figur 2 ist hingegen der Aufbau eines verstimmten Schwingkreises SK2 gezeigt, wobei der Schwingkreis wiederum eine Antennenspule L aber einen dazu parallelgeschalteten Kondensator C2 mit einem flüssigkeitsdurchtränkten porösen Dielektrikum DF aufweist, das über eine flüssigkeitsgefüllte Kapillare mit einem Flüssigkeitsbehälter verbunden ist, der eine Flüssigkeit F2 mit einer Temperatur über einer bestimmten Grenztemperatur enthält.In contrast, FIG. 2 shows the structure of a detuned oscillating circuit SK2, wherein the resonant circuit again has an antenna coil L but a capacitor C2 connected in parallel with a liquid-permeated porous dielectric DF which is connected to a liquid container via a liquid-filled capillary contains a liquid F2 having a temperature above a certain limit temperature.
Hier wird der physikalische Effekt der Ausdehnung von Flüssigkeiten, z.B. Ethanol, bei zunehmender Temperatur ausgenutzt, um kapazitätsbestimmende Merkmale des Kondensators zu verändern.Here, the physical effect of the expansion of liquids, e.g. Ethanol, exploited at increasing temperature to change capacitance-determining characteristics of the capacitor.
Eine bestimmte gewünschte Grenztemperatur ist bspw. durch die Länge der Kapillare K wählbar.A certain desired temperature limit is, for example, by the length of the capillary K selectable.
Das Dielektrikum bleibt auch bei einem anschließenden Rückgang der Temperatur von der Flüssigkeit durchsetzt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der RFID-Tag nicht mehr ausgelesen werden kann, da eine Energieeinkopplung durch Anregung des Schwingkreises bei seiner ursprünglichen Resonanzfrequenz fRes nicht mehr möglich ist. Das Ausbleiben der Antwort beim Auslesen eines solchen RFID-Tags zeigt an, dass eine Überschreitung der definierten Temperatur, z.B. eine Unterbrechung der Kühlkette oder ein Überlastzustand eines Motors, stattgefunden hat.The dielectric also remains trapped by the liquid at a subsequent decrease in temperature. This has the consequence that the RFID tag can no longer be read, since an energy input by excitation of the resonant circuit at its original resonant frequency fRes is no longer possible. The absence of the response when reading such an RFID tag indicates that exceeding the defined temperature, e.g. an interruption of the cold chain or an overload condition of an engine has taken place.
Die Flüssigkeit kann dabei nur die relative Dielektrizitätskonstante zwischen den Kondensatorplatten verändern oder aber praktisch einen Kurzschluss der Kondensatorplatten bewirken.The liquid can only change the relative dielectric constant between the capacitor plates or virtually cause a short circuit of the capacitor plates.
Alternativ zur physikalischen Beeinflussung des Schwingkreises durch eine in der Kapillare angestiegene Flüssigkeit könnten auch weitere Effekte wie z.B. die Oxidation eines die Resonanzfrequenz beeinflussenden Materials mit Luftsauerstoff genutzt werden, um beispielsweise eine Unterbrechung der Aufbewahrung unter Schutzgasatmosphäre nachzuweisen . Alternatively to the physical influence of the oscillating circuit by a liquid which has risen in the capillary, further effects such as e.g. the oxidation of a resonance frequency influencing material used with atmospheric oxygen, for example, to detect an interruption of storage under a protective gas atmosphere.
