  • the filter is attached to the filter head manually by an operator. For this reason, the attachment position of the filter varies depending on the screwing amount of the filter, and the relative position between the reader / writer (read / write device) or the reader (reader) and the IC tag attached to the filter varies.
  • the filter element of patent document 2 is attached in a casing. For this reason, since it is not necessary to attach the filter element by a screwing method, the position of the IC tag can be adjusted, and the above problem does not occur. However, when the IC tag of Patent Document 2 is used for the filter to be attached by screwing as described above, the position of the IC tag varies. For this reason, there is still a problem that the information of the IC tag cannot be surely read or the information cannot be reliably written to the IC tag.

  • the groove portion is provided on the surface intersecting the screw axis of the filter, and the identification device is attached to the groove portion. Since the identification device has at least two antennas, the antennas can be arranged at different positions by arranging the antennas along the groove. In particular, the length of the antenna is limited because it is determined based on the frequency of radio waves and the dielectric constant of a dielectric layer stacked on the antenna. For this reason, when there is one antenna, it can be arranged only in a partial region around the screw shaft of the filter. Therefore, when the filter is screwed, there is a possibility that the antenna is arranged at a position not suitable for reception according to the rotational position.
  • the area that can be arranged can be doubled as compared with the case of one antenna. Therefore, when the filter is screwed in, the possibility that the antenna is arranged at a position not suitable for reception can be reduced according to the rotational position. For this reason, the identification device can stably communicate with the reader / writer (read / write device) or the reader (reader) even if the mounting position of the filter varies due to variations in the screwing amount of the filter. That is, when the filter is mounted by screwing the threaded portion of the filter into the mounting portion of the work vehicle, the position of the antenna moves around the screw shaft.

When the identification device is attached to the outer case of the filter, it is necessary to work with care so as not to damage the identification device, and the filter attachment operation becomes complicated. On the other hand, if the identification device is attached to the groove, the identification device is arranged at a position that does not affect the attachment work, so that the work efficiency when attaching the filter can be improved.

For this reason, restrictions arise in the arrangement position of each antenna. On the other hand, if an identification element and an antenna are provided for each identification component, each identification component can be arranged independently. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the arrangement position of the identification component, that is, the arrangement position of the antenna is increased, and the communication performance can be improved.

The communication performance with two antennas deteriorates.
