Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transponder-Faden mit mindestens einem Transpon- der sowie eine Verwendung des Transponder-Fadens.The invention relates to a transponder thread with at least one transponder and the use of the transponder thread.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Transponder sind bekannte Empfangs/Sende-Geräte, die Informationen tragen und nach dem Abfrage/Antwort-System arbeiten und mit einem mobilen oder stationären Lesegerät zusammen wirken. Ein Transponder enthält einen Chip und eine Antenne. Ein entsprechender Chip ist ein mikroelektronisches Bauelement, weiches die Aufgaben des Transponders erfüllt. Ein passiver Transponder benötigt im Gegensatz zu einem aktiven Transponder keine Batterie und hat dementsprechend eine praktisch unbegrenzte Lebensdauer.Transponders are known receive / transmit devices that carry information and operate on the poll / reply system and interact with a mobile or stationary reader. A transponder contains a chip and an antenna. A corresponding chip is a microelectronic device that performs the tasks of the transponder. A passive transponder, unlike an active transponder, does not require a battery and therefore has a virtually unlimited life span.
Solche Transponder weisen die verschiedensten Technologien auf und dienen den verschiedensten Zwecken wie z.B. der Identifikation des Standortes eines Trägers oder als Diebstahlsicherung für Produkte in Verkaufsläden. Auch zur Lagerbewirtschaftung können sie eingesetzt werden, wenn der Transponder für ein Produkt spezifische Daten enthält, die an eine Lagerverwaltung weiter geleitet werden.Such transponders have a variety of technologies and serve a variety of purposes such. the identification of the location of a carrier or as an anti-theft device for products in shops. They can also be used for warehouse management if the transponder for a product contains specific data that is forwarded to warehouse management.
Die Verbindung solcher Transponder mit gewebten oder gewirkten textilen Flächengebilden ist bekannt und liegt im Trend. Die Verbindung der Transponder- Chips mit einem textilen Flächengebilde sowie die Anordnung einer zum Aussenden und/oder Empfangen von Signalen erforderlichen Antenne bereitet Probleme. So ist es bekannt, ein textiles Flächengebilde mit Antennen zu versehen, an denen dann der Chip zu befestigen ist. Eine solche Herstellung ist insbesondere wegen der miniaturisierten Bauteile, die eine Grössenordnung von Millimetern oder Bruchteilen davon aufweisen, sehr schwierig. Darstellung der ErfindungThe connection of such transponders with woven or knitted textile fabrics is known and is in the trend. The connection of the transponder chips with a textile fabric and the arrangement of an antenna required for the transmission and / or reception of signals causes problems. Thus, it is known to provide a textile fabric with antennas to which then the chip is to be attached. Such manufacture is very difficult, in particular because of the miniaturized components of the order of millimeters or fractions thereof. Presentation of the invention
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Anordnung eines Transponders an einem texti- len Flächengebilde zu vereinfachen.The object of the invention is to simplify the arrangement of a transponder on a textile fabric.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch den Transponder-Faden gemäss Anspruch 1, welcher mindestens einen Transponder aus einem Chip und einer angeschlossenen Antenne enthält. Ein solcher Transponder-Faden kann dann in einfacher Weise mit einem textilen Flächengebilde z.B. durch Weben oder Wirken verbunden werden, so dass das textile Flächengebilde, z.B. ein Etikett nach dem Web- oder Wirkvorgang bereits einsatzfähig ist. Die nachträgliche Anbringung eines Chips an Antennen entfällt. Dementsprechend ist weiter Gegenstand der Erfindung die Verwendung des Transponder-Fadens nach Anspruch 13 an einem Etikett derart, dass mindestens ein Transponder am Etikett angeordnet ist.The object is achieved by the transponder thread according to claim 1, which contains at least one transponder of a chip and a connected antenna. Such a transponder thread can then be easily produced with a textile fabric, e.g. by weaving or knitting so that the fabric, e.g. a label after the weaving or knitting process is already operational. The subsequent attachment of a chip to antennas is eliminated. Accordingly, the invention further relates to the use of the transponder thread according to claim 13 on a label such that at least one transponder is arranged on the label.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 12 sowie 14 bis 16 beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in claims 2 to 12 and 14 to 16.
Ein Transponder kann einen Chip mit einer einteiligen Antenne aufweisen. Vorzugsweise ist der Transponder-Faden jedoch derart ausgebildet, dass die Anten- ne aus zwei Antennenteilen besteht, zwischen denen der Chip angeordnet ist.A transponder may have a chip with a one-piece antenna. Preferably, however, the transponder thread is designed such that the antenna consists of two antenna parts, between which the chip is arranged.
Der Transponder-Faden kann gemäss Anspruch 3 mehrere hintereinander angeordnete Transponder jeweils mit einem Chip und einer angeschlossenen Antenne aufweisen, so dass der Transponder-Faden wie ein normaler Faden beim Weben oder Wirken verarbeitet werden kann.

Nach Anspruch 5 können die Transponder auch in oder an einem, vorzugsweise, textilen Grundgebilde angeordnet sein. Wenn die Transponder zwischen ihren Chips nach Anspruch 7 einstückig verlaufende Antennenteile aufweisen, müssen diese bei der Weiterverarbeitung des Transponder-Fadens durchtrennt werden. Die einzelnen Transponder können nach Anspruch 6 auch unabhängig voneinander angeordnet sein.The transponder thread can according to claim 3 more successively arranged transponder each having a chip and a connected antenna, so that the transponder thread can be processed as a normal thread during weaving or knitting. According to claim 4, the transponder thread can only consist of transponders arranged next to one another, so that the chips appear quasi-strung on the antenna in the manner of a string of pearls. According to claim 5, the transponder can also be arranged in or on a, preferably, textile base structure. If the transponders between their chips according to claim 7 integrally extending antenna parts, they must be severed in the further processing of the transponder thread. The individual transponder can be arranged independently of each other according to claim 6.
Gemäss Anspruch 8 kann die Antenne aus einem leitenden Faden bestehen. Nach Anspruch 9 ist es möglich, die Antenne aus geflochtenen leitenden Fäden zu bil- den. Gemäss Anspruch 10 ist es weiter möglich, die Antenne um eine Fadenseele anzuordnen.According to claim 8, the antenna may consist of a conductive thread.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Transponder-Faden 2, welcher quasi nach Art einer Perlenschnur aneinander hängende Transponder 4a,4b aufweist. Jeder Transponder enthält einen Chip 6, an dem an einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten Antennen- teile 8,10 angeordnet sind, die jeweils einstückig mit den Antennenteilen des benachbarten Transponders verbunden sind. Die Antennenteile 8,10 bestehen beispielsweise aus einem einzelnen leitenden Faden oder aus miteinander verflochtenen Fäden und weisen einen runden Querschnitt auf und sind freiliegend, das heisst, nicht in einem Grundgebilde eingebettet.FIG. 1 shows a transponder thread 2, which has transponders 4a, 4b hanging on one another in the manner of a string of pearls. Each transponder contains a chip 6 on which antenna parts 8, 10 are arranged on mutually opposite sides, which are each connected in one piece with the antenna parts of the adjacent transponder. The antenna parts 8,10 consist for example of a single conductive thread or interwoven threads and have a round cross-section and are exposed, that is, not embedded in a basic structure.
Die Figur 2 zeigt einen weiteren Transponder-Faden 12 mit aneinander gereihten Transpondern 14a, 14b, deren Chips 16 und Antennenteile 18,20 in einem Grundgebilde 22 eingebettet sind. Ein solches Grundgebilde kann beispielsweise aus versponnenen Fasern oder einem Überzug aus Kunststoff bestehen.FIG. 2 shows a further transponder thread 12 with transponders 14a, 14b arranged next to each other, whose chips 16 and antenna parts 18, 20 are embedded in a basic structure 22. Such a basic structure may for example consist of spun fibers or a coating of plastic.
Die Figur 3 zeigt einen bandförmigen Transponder-Faden 24, welcher ein bandförmiges Grundgebilde 26 aufweist, an dem Transponder 28a, 28b angeordnet sind. Das bandförmige Grundgebilde kann z.B. aus einem Faservlies oder einem Kunststoff band wie zum Beispiel einem Lurexfaden bestehen. Die Antennenteile 30,32 sind zwischen den Chips 34 zickzackartig angeordnet, um eine Länge der Antenne unterzubringen, die grösser ist als die gegebene Länge des Grundgebildes 26. Die Antenne kann beispielsweise durch Ätzen einer auf das Grundgebilde aufgebrachten Metallschicht gebildet sein.FIG. 3 shows a band-shaped transponder thread 24, which has a band-shaped basic structure 26, on which transponders 28a, 28b are arranged. The band-shaped basic structure may e.g. consist of a non-woven fabric or a plastic band such as a lurex thread. The antenna portions 30, 32 are arranged in a zigzag manner between the chips 34 to accommodate a length of the antenna greater than the given length of the base 26. The antenna may be formed, for example, by etching a metal layer deposited on the base.
Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Transponder-Fäden können wie normale Fäden in einem textilen Flächengebilde beispielsweise als Schussfaden oder Kettfaden oder gegebenenfalls als Wirkfaden eingearbeitet werden. Die zwischen zwei Chips durchgehenden Antennenteile müssen in aller Regel auf halber Länge durchtrennt werden, wie dies durch die strichpunktierten Trennlinien 36 in den Figuren angedeutet ist.The transponder threads illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be worked in like a normal thread in a textile fabric, for example as a weft thread or warp thread or optionally as a knitting thread. The continuous between two chips antenna parts must be severed usually halfway, as indicated by the dash-dotted lines 36 in the figures.
Der Aufbau eines herzustellenden textilen Flächengebildes, insbesondere eines Etiketts mit einem solchen Transponder-Faden ist hinsichtlich der Länge der An- tennenteile so zu treffen, dass der im Abschnitt des Transponder-Fadens vorhandene Transponder eine Antenne aufweist, deren Länge eine ausreichende Funktion des Chips gewährleistet, das heisst, auf diesen abgestimmt ist. So benötigt man z.B. für Transponder im UHF-Bereich eine Länge der Antenne von ca. 17 cm.The structure of a textile fabric to be produced, in particular of a label with such a transponder thread, is in terms of the length of the To make such parts of the tag, that in the section of the transponder thread transponder has an antenna whose length ensures sufficient function of the chip, that is, is tuned to this. For example, transponders in the UHF range require an antenna length of approx. 17 cm.
Die Figur 4 zeigt verschiedene Etiketten 40a, 40b, bei denen z.B. ein solcher Transponder-Faden als Schuss 42 oder als Kette 44 angeordnet ist. Ein solches Etikett wird in der Regel einen einzigen Transponder aufweisen. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass ein Etikett zwei und mehrere Transponder mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften und für unterschiedliche Zwecke enthält. So kann ein Transponder z.B. der Diebstahlsicherung dienen, während ein anderer Transponder zur Materialverwaltung verwendet werden kann. FIG. 4 shows various labels 40a, 40b in which, for example, such a transponder thread is arranged as a weft 42 or as a chain 44. Such a label will usually have a single transponder. But it is also possible that a label contains two and more transponders with different properties and for different purposes. For example, a transponder can serve as an anti-theft device, while another transponder can be used for material management.
