The invention relates to a packaging system.

Such a packaging system is generally used for packaging a Verpa ckungsguts.

From DE 10 2015 120 783 Al a packaging system is known, which at least one flat or shell-shaped bottom element and at least one connectable to the floor element or connected, hooded in the unfolded state plane of flexible material with at least one turn over the bottom element or inverted Planenöffhung, wherein the packaged material is enclosed in a closed state of the packaging system of the bottom element and the tarpaulin. The tarpaulin has a tarpaulin opening extending around the tarpaulin opening, in which at least one hal rope runs. The bottom element has a counterhold for the tether rope forming side edge. The tether is coupled to a hand or motor operated rope tensioning device. To provide a security system, the tarpaulin is at least partially formed of a textile material, in or on the at least one electrical ladder structure is technically switched on or applied, wherein the Lei terstruktur is coupled with at least one alarm device, so that at least a partial destruction of the textile Material in the closed state due to a short circuit between at least two conductors of the conductor structure and / or destruction of at least one conductor of the conductor structure an alarm signal is triggered by the alarm device. The assembly of such a packaging system is relatively expensive. Also, the design effort of the packaging system is complex, FITS disadvantageous is that the closure mechanism for closing the Verpa ckungssystems requires a high design effort. The invention has the object of providing a packaging system bereitzustel len, which has high functionality with low design effort.

To solve this problem, the features of claim 1 are provided. Advantageous embodiments and expedient developments of the invention düng are described in the dependent claims.

The invention relates to a packaging system which is formed in the form of a box. The packaging system includes a security system having electrically conductive structures that extend across walls of the box. The walls each have inner walls and outer walls, between each of which a carrier material with the electrically conductive structure is arranged. The Trä germaterialien and the inner walls and the outer walls are glued or welded together, in the latter case, at least in the area of welds, the carrier material on the one hand and the inner walls and outer walls on the other hand made of similar materials. An essential aspect of the invention is to provide the packaging system in the form of a box. The term box generally includes box-shaped structures with dimensionally stable walls.

The box can be formed in different sizes depending on the nature of the packaged goods to be stored therein. An advantage of this packaging system is that the packaged goods in the box are protected against damage by the dimensionally stable walls.

An essential aspect of the invention is that the electrically conductive structures are integrated as components of a security system in the walls of the box.

The safety system generally implements safety functions, thereby increasing the functionality of the packaging system.

According to the invention, the walls of the box each have a non-conductive plastic existing inner wall and outer wall, wherein between the inner wall and outer wall, a carrier material with electrically conductive Struk structures is arranged.

Advantageously, the electrically conductive structures and thus the carrier materials extend over the entire surfaces of the walls of the box. To connect the carrier material with the respective inner wall and outer wall, the carrier material is welded thereto. It is essential that the inner wall and outer wall on the one hand and the support material on the other hand consist of similar, preferably identical materials, so that durable, stable welded joints between these units are formed. Similar plastics have the same or almost the same flow or temperature properties. Similar materials may be derivatives of a plastic. Also, the outer walls, inner walls and Trä may be made of plastic materials that differ only by doping, mixtures of each other, but consist of the same base material. Particularly suitable plastics for forming the inner walls, outer walls and the support material are polypropylene and polyethylene. In principle, the carrier material can be welded to the inner wall and outer wall only at discrete locations, so that it is sufficient that only there match the materials of the inner wall, the outer wall and the carrier material. Particularly advantageously, the carrier material and the inner walls and outer walls over their entire surfaces of identical or similar Ma materials.

In this case, the carrier material can be welded at any point to the inner wall and outer wall. Furthermore, the support material can also be welded over the entire surfaces of the inner walls and outer walls who the. By such full-surface welding a particularly stable ler composite is obtained.

In general, by welding the inner walls, outer walls and the carrier materials, a mechanically stable and yet lightweight wall construction of the box can be obtained. The welding processes leave the mechanical properties of the inner walls, outer walls and the support materials largely unchanged, that is their mechanical properties are not affected.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the carrier material and the inner walls and outer walls of identical Materi alien.

The stabilizing grid can be done for example by punching a film or plate, which is preferably made of the same non-conductive plastic as the carrier material of the electrically conductive structure and the inner wall be. The stabilizing grid can then be welded to the carrier material of the electrically conductive structure and the inner wall or outer wall.

The stabilizing grid gives the wall construction the required mechanical stability, in particular high dimensional stability, it being further advantageous that the inner wall and the outer wall can have low wall thicknesses.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the outer walls form an electromagnetic shield.

The outer walls then form a full-surface electrically conductive structure, which forms an effective EMC protection for the internal electrically conductive structures and in the box optionally arranged electronic units. In addition, the outer walls thus formed form a manipulation protection, since the electrically conductive structures and in the interior of the box arranged electronic units are secured against irradiation of electromagnetic interference signals.

According to a first variant, each outer wall consists of an electrically non-conductive plastic, which is doped over its entire surface with electrically conductive particles.

Thus, the entire outer wall forms an electromagnetic shield. In this case, a stabilizing grid is provided as electrical insulation between the outer wall and the electrically conductive structure.

According to a second variant, the outside of each outer wall is coated over its entire surface with an electrically conductive layer.

In this case, the outer wall is made entirely of an electrically insulating material. The electrically conductive structures are preferably made of metallic materials, but this is not mandatory. In principle, it is also possible to use electrically conductive ceramics, glasses, plastics and the like.

In principle, the carrier material may be a film or the carrier material may be plate-shaped.

In this case, advantageously, the electrically conductive structures by Be layers, printing, embroidery, steaming or spraying applied to the Trägerma material.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the carrier material is a textile surface.

The textile surface may be formed as a woven, knitted, knitted or nonwoven fabric.

In this case, the electrically conductive structures are formed by electrically conductive threads incorporated in the textile surface. In an embodiment of the textile surface as a woven, knitted or knitted fabric, the conductive threads forming the electrically conductive structures may be incorporated into the textile surface in the manufacturing process.

Advantageously, the electrically conductive structures form sensor structures. In this case, the electrically conductive structures extend over the entire surfaces of the walls of the box.

Furthermore, control units are assigned to the sensor structures, by means of which interruptions in the electrically conductive structures can be detected. The electrically conductive structures advantageously form a close-meshed grid structure that extends over the entire wall construction of the box. As a result, even small local interruptions at arbitrary positions of the wall structure lead to a reliably detectable signal, which can be evaluated in the control units. At a detected interruption generates the Alarmvor direction, which is connected to the control units, an alarm message, which is reported with this alarm message, the interruption of the electrically conductive structures or unauthorized opening of the box as unauthorized manipulative intervention in the box. The alarm device may have an optical and / or acoustic signal transmitter arranged on the box. The control units can be formed, for example, by RFID units, that is to say RFID readers, RFID transmitters and RFID receivers.

For this purpose, the objects stored in the box are advantageously labeled with RFID tags, which are detected by an RFID reader. In the alarm device can then be evaluated whether the filling of the box with objects is correct or if any objects were stolen. Depending on this, a status signal can be generated in the alarm device that indicates the current load state. Furthermore, an alarm message can be generated if there is a misuse of objects. This functionality can be further extended by the fact that the Alarmvor direction is assigned a GPS tracker.

With the GPS tracker, a continuous location of the packaged goods in the box is possible. This information can be integrated into the status signals. According to an advantageous embodiment, the alarm device has an interface for data exchange with an external unit.

In particular, the interface provides access to the Internet. Status signals and alarm messages can be output via the interface and thus tracked by third parties from an external unit.

The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Figure 6 block diagram of the components of the safety system according to the invention for the packaging system according to the invention. Figure 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a box 1, which forms a Ver packaging system. The box 1 is formed cuboid in the present case and is made of plastic.

The box 1 has a main body 2 which comprises a bottom part 3 and side walls 4 mounted thereon. The side walls 4 and the bottom part 3 enclose a cavity which forms the loading space of the box 1.

The upper edges of the side walls 4 define an opening through which the interior of the box 1 can be loaded. This opening can be closed with a cover 5 as a further component 3 of the box 1. The box 1 forms a modular unit. As Figure 2 shows, the sides walls 4 of the box 1 can be folded and placed in the trough-shaped bottom part 3. The unit thus formed can be closed ver with the lid 5 (Figure 3). In this form, the empty box 1 can be easily transported as a compact unit.

In the assembled state of the box 1, which is shown in Figure 1, in particular after loading the interior of the box 1, the lid 5 is placed on the base body 2. The cover 5 is secured on the base body 2 with two United locking means in the form of locking pin 6 on opposite sides of the lid 5 (Figure 3). The closure means may generally also be designed as a latch, latching means and the like.

Furthermore, the box 1 can be locked with four security locks 7. Each two security locks 7 are located on opposite sides of the lid 5. Each security lock 7 is secured with a code, that is, it can only be opened by entering the code. For code input, a suitable input unit such as a keypad or a keyboard can be provided. Furthermore, the code can generally also be input via non-contact data interfaces such as Bluetooth interfaces and the like.

According to the invention, the box 1 and thus the packaging system has a security system with which the box 1 is secured against manipulation and in particular unauthorized intervention.

As components of the security system electrically conductive structures 8 are provided, which extend over the entire surface over all walls, that is, side walls 4, the cover 5 and the bottom part 3 of the box 1. As Figure 4 shows, the electrically conductive structures 8 are formed in the present case of electrically conductive threads which are incorporated into the material consisting of non-conductive material Ma 9 a textile surface 10. In the present case, the textile surface 10 consists of a knitted fabric which is produced, for example, with a warp knitting machine or a Raschel machine. The carrier material 9 forms a matrix of non-conductive threads made of plastic, for example polypropylene. In this matrix is incorporated during the manufacturing process of the textile surface 10, the git terstruktur shown in Figure 4 structure of electrically conductive threads, which forms the electrically conductive structure 8 conductive. The electrically conductive threads consist of a metallic material, in particular of stainless steel.

Alternatively, the textile surface 10 may consist of a woven, knitted or knitted fabric.

Furthermore, the carrier material 9 may consist of a film or sheet of plastic, in which case the electrically conductive structure 8 is applied to the carrier material 9 by coating, printing Be, steaming or spraying.

FIG. 5 shows the wall construction according to the invention of the box 1, wherein this wall construction extends over the entire surfaces of the box 1.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, the textile surface 10 with the carrier material 9 and the electrically conductive structures 8 according to FIG. 4 is formed between an inner wall 1 la and outer wall 1 lb as a wall element of the corresponding wall. Between the outer wall 1 lb and the electrically conductive structures 8 there is a stabilizing grid 1c. The support material 9 with the electrically conductive structures 8 and the stabilizing l lc lc extend over the entire surfaces of the inner walls l la or outer walls 1 lb, which are formed coextensive and made of thin sheets of art material. In this case, the inner walls l la, the outer walls l lb and the stabilization grid l lc of the same plastic, said plastic at least similar, preferably identical to the plastic of the carrier material. 9 the textile surface 10 is. In the present case, the carrier material 9, the inner walls 1 la and the outer walls 1 lb made of polypropylene or Polyethy len.

The outer walls are doped over the entire surface with electrically conductive particles and thus form an EMC protection and protection against manipulation of the electrically conductive structures and arranged in the box electronic units. Alternatively, the outside of each outer wall may be coated with an electrically conductive layer. In this case, the outer wall is made entirely of a non-conductive plastic. According to the invention, the inner walls 1 la, the substrate 9 and the outer walls 1 lb are welded together. This is possible because these units are made of the same (or at least similar) plastic. The welding can be carried out over the entire surfaces of the inner walls 1 a and outer walls 1 b, whereby a stable bond of these units is obtained, without the mechanical properties of these individual units being impaired. Of course, these units can only be welded together locally.

Figure 6 shows a block diagram of the components of the invention Si cherungssystems. The security system comprises an alarm device 12, which has a computer unit, not shown. The alarm device 12 is associated with a GPS tracker 13. Furthermore, the alarm device 12 is associated with an interface 14 for connection to an external unit. In the present case, the interface 14 is designed as an Internet interface. Closing Lich are the alarm device 12 or the security locks 7 and a signal generator 15, which may be formed as optical or acoustic signal generator 15 connected. Finally, at least one RFID unit 16 is connected to the alarm device 12, which forms a control unit to which the electrically conductive structures 8 are connected. Instead of RFID Units may also be provided for other inductive or capacitive units.

The GPS tracker 13 can be used to track objects loaded in the box 1. Together with the signals for the detection of objects generated by the RFID unit 16, status signals about the current load state are generated in the alarm device 12 with spatial resolution, which are read out via the interface 14. In this way, a user, in particular the supplier of the objects stored in the box 1, can precisely track the objects stored in the box 1. As a further status message, the closed state of the security lock or locks 7 can be transmitted.

Finally, an alarm message is generated in the alarm device 12 if an interruption of the conductive structure 8 of the box 1 is registered with the RFID unit 16. A further alarm message can be generated if it is registered with the RFID unit 16 that objects in the box 1 are missing. These alarm messages can be output via the interface 14. In addition, they are displayed locally on the box 1 with the signal from the alarm device 12 controlled signal generator 15.

Finally, an alarm message can be generated when a manipulation of the box 1 is present in that it is covered with a conductive foil or derglei chen, so that data exchange over the interface 14 over a longer period is prevented.

The interface 14 assigned to the alarm device 12 can also be used by a user, in particular the supplier of the packaged goods, to query status parameters of the security system. Furthermore, as soon as the customer has received the packaged goods, the supplier can use the interface 14 to grant the customer clearance for access to the packaged goods. In the simplest case, the supplier sends the customer the code with which he can open the security lock 7. The customer can then enter the code at the security lock 7 via an input unit such as a keyboard or via a non-contact interface 14 such as a Bluetooth interface and open the security lock 7. In principle, the security lock 7 can be opened via suitable release commands directly via the interface 12 assigned to the alarm device 12.
