EQUIPO DE LECTURA Y CODIFICACION DE LECTURAS RFID READING AND CODING EQUIPMENT FOR RFID READINGS
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la presente invención se enmarca en el campo técnico de la lectura y codificación de etiquetas RFID. Más concretamente se propone un equipo configurado para realizar una lectura y codificación de etiquetas RFID unitaria y masiva combinadas. The object of the present invention falls within the technical field of reading and encoding RFID tags. More specifically, a device configured to read and encode combined unitary and massive RFID tags is proposed.
PROBLEMA TÉCNICO A RESOLVER Y ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
El empleo de etiquetas RFID para la identificación de productos se ha extendido ampliamente en los últimos años. Se trata de una solución que permite obtener información de una manera rápida e inequívoca de los productos identificados con dichas etiquetas. Para ello, se emplean unas antenas emisoras de ondas de manera que, las ondas emitidas rebotan en las etiquetas RFID y la medida o lectura de las ondas rebotadas permite determinar las características asociadas a las etiquetas RFID dispuestas en la zona de lectura (zona de influencia de las antenas). The use of RFID tags for product identification has spread widely in recent years. It is a solution that allows you to quickly and unambiguously obtain information on the products identified with these labels. To do this, wave-emitting antennas are used so that the emitted waves bounce off the RFID tags and the measurement or reading of the bounced waves makes it possible to determine the characteristics associated with the RFID tags arranged in the reading area (zone of influence). of the antennas).
Del estado de la técnica se conocen diferentes tipos de puestos de lectura de etiquetas RFID, que se seleccionan en función de las necesidades del cliente final. Estas necesidades determinarán por ejemplo si el factor determinante es la velocidad lectura de las etiquetas, o bien la cantidad de etiquetas a leer, etc. Different types of RFID tag reading stations are known from the state of the art, which are selected based on the needs of the end customer. These needs will determine, for example, whether the determining factor is the speed of reading the labels, or the number of labels to read, etc.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La invención se refiere a un equipo de lectura y codificación de etiquetas RFID que combina una estación de lectura y codificación unitaria y una estación de lectura y codificación masiva. The invention relates to RFID tag reading and coding equipment that combines a unitary reading and coding station and a massive reading and coding station.
Así pues, el equipo comprende una primera estación que está configurada para realizar una lectura y codificación en el que la onda de lectura está confinada en el punto de lectura para evitar lecturas indeseadas de etiquetas RFID que no estén en el punto de lectura. Para ello, la primera estación comprende un encapsulado metálico, totalmente estanco para ondas de lectura RFID, en el que se encuentra una antena para lectura de etiquetas RFID. Este encapsulado comprende una abertura, que es a través del único punto por el que pueden salir las ondas para realizar la lectura. En un ejemplo de realización las paredes internas están cubiertas con un material absorbente de las ondas emitidas por la antena, que amortigua las ondas y evita el efecto rebote, asegurando así que dichas ondas solo pueden salir del encapsulado por la abertura correspondiente. En un ejemplo de realización la antena se coloca en una base del encapsulado y la abertura se encuentra en la cara opuesta a ella. Si las paredes laterales están cubiertas con material aislante, las ondas se emiten en dirección perpendicular a la de la antena. Thus, the equipment comprises a first station that is configured to perform a reading and encoding in which the reading wave is confined at the reading point to avoid unwanted readings of RFID tags that are not at the reading point. To do this, the first station includes a metal encapsulation, completely waterproof for RFID reading waves, in which there is an antenna for reading RFID tags. This encapsulation includes an opening, which is the only point through which the waves can exit to perform the reading. In an example of embodiment, the internal walls are covered with a material that absorbs the waves emitted by the antenna, which dampens the waves and prevents the rebound effect, thus ensuring that said waves can only leave the encapsulation through the corresponding opening. In an example of embodiment, the antenna is placed on a base of the encapsulation and the opening is on the opposite side of it. If the side walls are covered with insulating material, the waves are emitted in a direction perpendicular to that of the antenna.
Asimismo el equipo comprende una segunda estación que está configurada para realizar la lectura simultánea de etiquetas RFID de una pluralidad de artículos. Esta segunda estación actúa como sistema de verificación de la lectura y codificación realizada en la primera estación. Cuando un artículo que ha sido leído y detectado en la primera estación se introduce en la segunda estación, el equipo detecta si se trata del mismo artículo o no y puede emitir una señal de aviso en caso de que se detecte alguna diferencia entre las lecturas de ambas estaciones. Likewise, the equipment comprises a second station that is configured to simultaneously read RFID tags from a plurality of articles. This second station acts as a verification system for the reading and coding carried out in the first station. When an item that has been read and detected at the first station is introduced at the second station, the equipment detects whether it is the same item or not and can emit a warning signal in case any difference is detected between the readings of both stations.
La lectura de una pluralidad de etiquetas RFID en la segunda estación se realiza de forma constante, es decir, no se realiza un conteo de un artículo (de la correspondiente etiqueta RFID del artículo) y simplemente se añade al total de artículos leídos sino que constantemente se realizan lecturas de los artículos que se encuentran posicionados en la zona de lectura de dicha segunda estación. Así pues, si se extrae algún artículo de la zona de lectura, no es necesario realizar un descuento manual del total de artículos sino que el equipo es capaz de detectar que se extraído dicho artículo de la zona de lectura de la segunda estación y se descuenta automáticamente. The reading of a plurality of RFID tags at the second station is carried out constantly, that is, an item (of the corresponding RFID tag of the article) is not counted and simply added to the total number of articles read but is constantly Readings are made of the articles that are positioned in the reading area of said second station. Thus, if an article is removed from the reading area, it is not necessary to carry out a manual discount of the total number of articles, but rather the equipment is capable of detecting that said article has been removed from the reading area of the second station and is discounted. automatically.
Como en la primera estación, en esta segunda estación también se realiza una contención de la onda de lectura delimitándola a la zona de lectura de interés. De esta manera se evita la lectura interesada de artículos fuera del alcance esperado. As in the first station, in this second station a containment of the reading wave is also carried out, delimiting it to the reading area of interest. In this way, interested reading of articles outside the expected scope is avoided.
La envolvente exterior del receptáculo de la segunda estación de lectura y codificación se conforma a base de un conjunto metálico totalmente estanco (uniones soldadas, etc.), de forma que las ondas no se fugan hacia el exterior, y sólo pueden salir por las aberturas correspondientes. Preferentemente el revestimiento exterior de las caras interiores es de polietileno extruido (PE), un material que las ondas pueden atravesar. El espacio libre que se conforma entre las caras exteriores, metálicas, y las caras interiores, de PE, comprende las antenas, y un material absorbente que amortigua las ondas y evita el efecto rebote y consecuente propagación en direcciones distintas a la deseada (en este caso, perpendicular a las antenas). The outer casing of the receptacle of the second reading and coding station is made up of a completely sealed metal assembly (welded joints, etc.), so that the waves do not leak to the outside, and can only exit through the openings. corresponding. Preferably the outer coating of the inner faces is made of extruded polyethylene (PE), a material that waves can pass through. The free space which is formed between the exterior, metallic faces, and the interior, PE faces, it includes the antennas, and an absorbing material that dampens the waves and prevents the rebound effect and consequent propagation in directions other than the desired one (in this case, perpendicular to the antennas).
El equipo puede comprender al menos un módulo de control configurado para comparar los resultados de lectura y codificación de ambas estaciones para verificar si el artículo leído en la primera estación se corresponde con el artículo que se coloca en el receptáculo de la segunda estación. The equipment may comprise at least one control module configured to compare the reading and coding results of both stations to verify whether the item read at the first station corresponds to the item placed in the receptacle of the second station.
Un usuario que vaya a emplear el equipo propuesto en la presente invención realizará una lectura individual de cada artículo de interés en la primera estación de lectura y, posteriormente, una lectura de confirmación, colocando el artículo en la segunda estación de lectura, en la que además se lleva a cabo un conteo de los artículos leídos. A user who is going to use the equipment proposed in the present invention will perform an individual reading of each article of interest at the first reading station and, subsequently, a confirmation reading, placing the article at the second reading station, in which In addition, a count of the articles read is carried out.
