Definitions

  • the invention relates to an RFID transponder. It is widespread to provide goods with encrypted information by applying a bar code to the goods. Barcodes of this type can be configured two-dimensionally as a striped pattern or three-dimensionally. They are usually read with a laser device. For this purpose, either the product is moved relative to the reading device or the laser relative to the goods.
  • RFID Radio Frequency Identification
  • An RFID system consists of a data medium, which in turn consists of a chip and an antenna in a carrier, and a reader.
  • readers consist of an antenna and a decoder. For data transmission magnetic or electromagnetic fields are used.
  • Various systems are distinguished. Active systems serve to bridge large reading distances.
  • the RFID transponders have a power supply, the reading distances over several meters allows.
  • the RFID transponders do not have their own power supply. The energy is generated by the reader and therefore the reading distances are up to about 60 cm.
  • RIFD transponders are affixed to the products as a label. Such labels are known from the field of price labeling, in particular for perfumes or other high-value goods.
  • RFID transponders are usually read at a gate.
  • a gate is a reading and possibly also a writing device with usually four antennas.
  • care is taken that the goods are guided with the transponder in such a way that the RFID transponder is read exactly in plan view.
  • the length of the antenna in the transponder determines the frequency of the transponder and the length and design of the dipole depends on the desired frequency and the background of the transponder to be attached. Depending on whether the transponder on foil, cardboard, plastic or metal is to be attached, the antenna is calibrated accordingly.
  • the invention has for its object to develop an RFID transponder that is easier to read at gates.
  • This object is achieved with an RFID transponder which has at least two antennas which are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • a transponder can thus be arranged, for example, in a corner of the box such that one antenna in each case bears against a box side and the antennas are thus arranged at a 90 degree angle to one another. This allows the box to run longitudinally or transversely through the gate. In either case, one of the antennas will be located in optimum alignment with the reader while passing the gate.
  • antennas of different lengths it is possible to design the antennas of different lengths in order to use the antennas, for example, to determine the orientation of the box relative to the gate via the different frequency achieved in conjunction with the reading device.
  • a simple embodiment variant of the transponder according to the invention provides that the antennas have the same length. The identifier can thus be easily determined via the same reader, regardless of whether the box or a pallet passes longitudinally or transversely through the gate.
  • the transponder has a chip which is arranged unequally spaced from the antennas. With the same antenna length and an arrangement of the antennas at an angle of 90 degrees on the surface of a cuboid box, the arranged between the antennas chip would have to lie directly on the edge of the cuboid packaging. To avoid this, a transponder with a chip is proposed in which the chip is arranged unequally spaced from the antennas. The transponder can thereby be attached to the corner of a box so that the chip comes to rest on a side surface of the box.
  • the transponder has a chip and a shielded antenna cable is arranged between the chip and at least one antenna.
  • the shielding of the antenna cable makes it possible to different antenna lengths that result from the unshielded part of the supply line and the antenna itself, or even provide the same antenna lengths at individual intervals to the chip.
  • a simple variant suitable for shielding provides that the antenna cable is shielded by a metal band.
  • the metal strip is self-adhesive. This allows a simple way to attach a chip of a transponder to a box and thereby determine the effective antenna lengths.
  • the transponder is designed as a film adhesive strip.
  • the entire transponder according to the invention is thus formed with its at least two antennas as an adhesive strip, which can be glued in a simple manner, for example, on the corner of a package or a pallet.
  • An embodiment variant which uses the chips of known transponders provides that the transponder has a chip on which two poles are provided for an antenna cable and at least two antennas are connected thereto.
  • the conventional transponder chip is used and from each pole, the two provided for the antennas poles, go two lines or a dividing line to one of the two antennas.
  • An alternative embodiment provides that the transponder has a chip on which several times two poles are provided for antenna cables, to each of which an antenna is connected. The chip thus has two poles for each antenna and differs from conventional chips, which have only two poles for one antenna.
  • the invention is also achieved by a transport unit with an RFID transponder, wherein the transponder is arranged on two sides of a corner of the transport unit.
  • the transponder is thus not - as usual - glued to one side of the package, but it extends in the region of a corner of the transport unit around the corner. This makes it possible to arrange on two sides of the transport unit antennas of the transponder.
  • the transponder has a carrier on which antennas are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • Such a transport unit can thus pass longitudinally or transversely through a gate without the risk that the antenna can not be read.
  • One of the two angled antenna arranged to each other is optimally arranged to the reading device.
  • the transponder can be attached to the transport unit in a variety of ways. It can also be integrated, for example, protected in the transport unit. In this case, a transponder with angled antennas arranged to each other, for example, in the corner be integrated into a transport unit. However, the transponder can also be attached to the outer shell of the transport unit by being glued to the E ck of a transport unit.
  • a wide field of application opens up a transport unit, which is designed as a pallet and is provided with a transponder according to the invention.
