Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container equipped with a wireless communication tag capable of wireless communication. [Background technology]

[0002] As an example of the above-mentioned container with a wireless communication tag, one that is made of packaging material with an embedded contactless IC chip (hereinafter referred to as IC chip), as disclosed in Patent Document 1, is known, and containers are now being managed by writing information to the IC chip via wireless communication and reading information written in the IC chip. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-26225 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, since the IC chips in the conventional containers are embedded in the body, they may come into close proximity when multiple containers are handled together. When this happens, the IC chips in each container may be in close proximity to each other, which can impair the communication performance of the IC chips. In particular, for IC chips that use UHF frequencies, the communication distance can be extremely short. Therefore, with conventional containers, communication with the IC chips can be difficult.

[0005] Therefore, in consideration of the above-described situation, the present invention aims to provide a container with a wireless communication tag that can maintain a state suitable for communication with a wireless communication tag even when it is in close proximity to another container with a wireless communication tag. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention comprises: a container body capable of accommodating contents; a wireless communication tag attached to the container body, The container body is an attachment portion to which the wireless communication tag is attached; The container has a protrusion that protrudes outward beyond the wireless communication tag attached to the mounting portion and is formed so as to maintain the wireless communication tag at a predetermined distance from the wireless communication tag of another nearby wireless communication tag-equipped container.

[0007] In a container with a wireless communication tag of the above configuration, when the protrusion abuts against another container with a wireless communication tag (referred to as the other container), the other container is prevented from approaching the wireless communication tag, thereby keeping the wireless communication tag and the wireless communication tag of the other container apart.

[0008] When wireless communication tags are placed close to each other, communication performance may be impaired. However, the containers with wireless communication tags can maintain a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tags, even when the container bodies are close to each other, allowing the wireless communication tags to be kept apart.

[0009] In the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention, The container body has a cylindrical body portion, The protrusion may protrude radially outward from the body portion.

[0010] This makes it easier to prevent the approach of a wireless communication tag of another container at a location away from the wireless communication tag, making it easier to maintain a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag.

[0011] In the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention, the wireless communication tag has a rear surface facing the container body and a front surface facing outward from the container body, The protrusion may be provided on at least a part of the periphery of the wireless communication tag so as to open an area outside the front surface of the wireless communication tag.

[0012] This opens up the area outside the wireless communication tag, making it difficult for the communication environment with the wireless communication tag to deteriorate.

[0013] In the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention, The barrel portion of the container body has an outer peripheral surface formed in a circumferential direction, The outer peripheral surface may have the attachment portion and the protrusion.

[0014] In this way, even if wireless communication tags are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the container body, the wireless communication tags can be kept in a communicable state by preventing them from approaching each other.

[0015] In the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention, The outer peripheral surface includes a plurality of corners arranged in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface and side surfaces between the corners, the side surface portion has the attachment portion and the protrusion, The protrusions may include at least one of lateral protrusions aligned with both sides of the wireless communication tag in the circumferential direction and vertical protrusions aligned with both sides of the wireless communication tag in the vertical direction.

[0016] In this way, even when a wireless communication tag is provided on the side of the body, the protrusion located around the wireless communication tag can prevent another container (a wireless communication tag of another container) from approaching at a position away from the wireless communication tag, thereby maintaining a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag.

[0017] In the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention, The outer peripheral surface includes a plurality of corners arranged in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface and side surfaces between the corners, the corner portion has the attachment portion and the protrusion, The protrusion may be formed above or below the mounting portion.

[0018] In this way, even when a wireless communication tag is placed at a corner of the body, the wireless communication tags can be prevented from approaching each other at positions away from the wireless communication tag on one side and the other side in the vertical direction, thereby maintaining a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] As described above, the container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention can achieve the excellent effect of being able to maintain a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag even when it is in close proximity to another container with a wireless communication tag.

[0021] Hereinafter, a container with a wireless communication tag according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, a container 1 with a wireless communication tag according to this embodiment includes a container body 2 capable of accommodating contents, and a wireless communication tag 3 attached to the container body 2.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2, the container body 2 has a cylindrical body 20, a bottom 21 that closes one opening of the body 20, a shoulder 22 that extends from the other open end of the body 20 and has an outer diameter at its tip that is smaller than the outer diameter at its base end (i.e., it is formed to be tapered), a cylindrical neck 23 that extends from the tip of the shoulder 22, an attachment part 24 for attaching a wireless communication tag 3 so that communication from the outside is possible, and a protrusion 25 that protrudes outward beyond the wireless communication tag 3 attached to the attachment part 24 and is formed so that the wireless communication tag 3 is kept a predetermined distance apart from the wireless communication tag 3 of another adjacent wireless communication tag-equipped container 1.

[0024] In the following description, the height direction refers to the height direction of the container body 2, the radial direction refers to the radial direction of the body 20 (the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the body 20), and the circumferential direction refers to the circumferential direction of the body 20. In this embodiment, the height direction corresponds to the up-down direction.

[0025] The body portion 20 of this embodiment has a rectangular cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral side surface of the body portion 20 includes a plurality of corners 200 lined up in the circumferential direction and side portions 201 located between the corners 200. The body portion 20 of this embodiment includes four corners 200 and four side portions 201, and the corners 200 and the side portions 201 are alternately lined up in the circumferential direction (see FIG. 4).

[0026] The bottom portion 21 is connected to the lower end (one end in the height direction) of the body portion 20. The bottom portion 21 is a portion that faces downward when the container body 2 is upright.

[0027] The shoulder 22 extends from the upper end (the other end in the height direction) of the body 20. The shoulder 22 is tapered so that both the inner diameter and the outer diameter gradually decrease from the base end to the tip end. The intersection of the shoulder 22 and the body 20 may be rounded or angular.

[0028] Neck 23 extends from the upper end (tip) of shoulder 22 and is formed in a cylindrical shape. The tip of neck 23 is open, and contents can be put into and taken out of container body 2 through this opening. Note that neck 23 in this embodiment is configured so that a lid that opens and closes the opening can be attached and detached.

[0029] The attachment portion 24 is formed on the body portion 20. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.

[0030] The mounting portion 24 is located radially inward (toward the center of the container body 2) than the other side portions 201 (side portions 201 on which the mounting portion 24 is not formed), but is located radially outward from the inner surface of the neck portion 23.

[0031] 5, the attachment portion 24 has a placement portion 240 in which the wireless communication tag 3 is placed, and a peripheral portion 241 that extends around the placement portion 240. The outer surface of the placement portion 240 and the outer surface of the peripheral portion 241 are flat, and a step that is the same as or approximately the same as the thickness of the wireless communication tag 3 is formed at the boundary between the outer surface of the placement portion 240 and the outer surface of the peripheral portion 241. Therefore, when the wireless communication tag 3 is placed in the placement portion 240, the outer surface of the wireless communication tag 3 is flush or approximately flush with the outer surface of the peripheral portion 241.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 2, the protrusion 25 is formed on the body 20. In this embodiment, the side surface 201 of the body 20 is configured to have the protrusion 25 (see Fig. 4).

[0033] The protruding portion 25 protrudes outward in the radial direction of the body portion 20. Therefore, the tip of the protruding portion 25 is located radially outward from the wireless communication tag 3 attached to the attachment portion 24 (the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3).

[0034] The protrusions 25 of this embodiment have lateral protrusions 250 aligned with both sides of the wireless communication tag 3 in the circumferential direction, and vertical protrusions 251 aligned with both sides of the wireless communication tag 3 in the height direction.

[0035] The side protrusion 250 includes a first side protrusion 250a arranged on one side in the circumferential direction relative to the wireless communication tag 3, and a second side protrusion 250b arranged on the other side in the circumferential direction relative to the wireless communication tag 3.

[0036] 4, the first lateral protrusion 250a is formed in the side surface portion 201 at a position spaced apart from the wireless communication tag 3 on one side in the circumferential direction, and the second lateral protrusion 250b is formed in the side surface portion 201 at a position spaced apart from the wireless communication tag 3 on the other side in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the first lateral protrusion 250a and the second lateral protrusion 250b face each other in the circumferential direction, with the wireless communication tag 3 disposed between them.

[0037] Also, as shown in Figure 2, the first lateral protrusion 250a and the second lateral protrusion 250b are formed to extend along the height direction, and the length of the first lateral protrusion 250a in the height direction and the length of the second lateral protrusion 250b in the height direction are both greater than the dimension of the wireless communication tag 3 in the height direction.

[0038] The vertical side protrusion 251 includes a first vertical side protrusion 251a that is aligned on one side in the height direction relative to the wireless communication tag 3, and a second vertical side protrusion 251b that is aligned on the other side in the height direction relative to the wireless communication tag 3.

[0039] 3, the first vertical side protrusion 251a is formed in the side surface portion 201 at a position spaced apart on one side in the height direction from the wireless communication tag 3, and the second vertical side protrusion 251b is formed in the side surface portion 201 at a position spaced apart on the other side in the height direction from the wireless communication tag 3. Therefore, the first vertical side protrusion 251a and the second vertical side protrusion 251b face each other in the height direction, and the wireless communication tag 3 is disposed between them.

[0040] Also, as shown in Figure 2, the first vertical side protrusion 251a and the second vertical side protrusion 251b are formed to extend along the circumferential direction, and the length of the first vertical side protrusion 251a in the circumferential direction and the length of the second vertical side protrusion 251b in the circumferential direction are both greater than the dimension of the wireless communication tag 3 in the circumferential direction.

[0041] Furthermore, in the wireless communication tagged container 1 of this embodiment, the first vertical-side protrusion 251a is continuous with one end of the first horizontal-side protrusion 250a and one end of the second horizontal-side protrusion 250b, and the second vertical-side protrusion 251b is continuous with the other end of the first horizontal-side protrusion 250a and the other end of the second horizontal-side protrusion 250b. Therefore, the protrusion 25 of this embodiment is formed to surround the periphery of the wireless communication tag 3 and to leave the outer area of ​​the attachment portion 24 (the area in front of the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3) open.

[0042] The wireless communication tag 3 of this embodiment is a thin wireless communication tag 3, and is thinner than the thickness of the attachment portion 24.

[0043] The wireless communication tag 3 may be configured to have a storage means for storing information and a wireless communication means for wirelessly communicating information to be read from and written to the storage means.

[0044] The wireless communication tag 3 of this embodiment is a so-called RFID tag, and is configured to include an IC chip and an antenna connected to the IC chip. The IC chip and the antenna may be provided on a base such as a substrate or a sticker. The wireless communication tag 3 of this embodiment is an RFID tag that integrates both a UHF tag that uses UHF band frequencies (capable of long-distance communication) and an NFC tag that uses HF band frequencies, particularly a 13.56 MHz frequency (capable of short-distance communication) into a single tag.

[0045] The wireless communication tag 3 may be a passive type that transmits information written in the storage means in response to external access, or an active type that can spontaneously transmit information written in the storage means. It may also be an RFID tag that is only a UHF tag or an RFID tag that is only an NFC tag.

[0046] The wireless communication tag 3 is embedded in the attachment portion 24. Therefore, the rear surface and the outer peripheral side surface of the wireless communication tag 3 are in close contact with the attachment portion 24. In addition, the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3 is located on the same plane as the outer peripheral portion of the attachment portion 24 or approximately on the same plane as the outer peripheral portion of the attachment portion 24.

[0047] The configuration of the container 1 with a radio communication tag according to this embodiment is as described above. Next, the usage state of the container 1 with a radio communication tag will be described.

[0048] For example, during transportation or storage, a plurality of wireless communication tagged containers 1 may be lined up as shown in Fig. 6. The four wireless communication tagged containers 1 shown in Fig. 6 are denoted by the reference symbols "1A," "1B," "1C," and "1D," respectively.

[0049] The container bodies 2 of the wireless communication tag-equipped containers 1A and 1B are adjacent to each other, and the wireless communication tags 3 face each other.

[0050] When the containers 1A and 1B with the radio communication tag move closer to each other, the protrusions 25 come into contact with each other, and the container bodies 2 are prevented from approaching each other by the protrusions 25. Accordingly, the radio communication tag 3 of the container 1A with the radio communication tag and the radio communication tag 3 of the container 1B with the radio communication tag are also prevented from approaching each other, so that the radio communication tags 3 are kept apart.

[0051] Furthermore, the container bodies 2 of the wireless communication tag-attached containers 1C and 1D are close to each other, but the wireless communication tags 3 are not facing each other.

[0052] Even in such a case, if the containers 1C and 1D with radio communication tags move closer together, when the protrusion 25 of the container 1C with radio communication tags comes into contact with the container body 2 of the container 1D with radio communication tags, the container bodies 2 are prevented from approaching each other, and the radio communication tag 3 of the container 1C with radio communication tags and the radio communication tag 3 of the container 1D with radio communication tags are also prevented from approaching each other, so that the respective radio communication tags 3 are kept apart.

[0053] As described above, according to the container 1 with a wireless communication tag of this embodiment, when the protrusion 25 abuts against another container 1 with a wireless communication tag (referred to as another container 1), the other container 1 is prevented from approaching the wireless communication tag 3, thereby keeping the wireless communication tag 3 and the wireless communication tag 3 of the other container 1 apart.

[0054] When wireless communication tags 3 are placed close to each other, communication performance may be impaired, but in the wireless communication tagged container 1 of this embodiment, the wireless communication tags 3 can be kept apart even when the container bodies 2 are placed close to each other, so that a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tags 3 can be maintained. In particular, in the case of a UHF tag that can transmit and receive over long distances, the communication distance is not shortened.

[0055] Furthermore, since the protrusion 25 protrudes outward in the radial direction of the body 20, it becomes easier to prevent the approach of a wireless communication tag 3 of another container 1 at a location away from the wireless communication tag 3, making it easier to maintain a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag 3.

[0056] In the container 1 with a wireless communication tag of this embodiment, the outer surface of the body 20, more specifically the side surface 201 of the outer surface, is configured to have an attachment portion 24, so that the wireless communication tag 3 is attached to the side surface 201, but the side surface 201 is also configured to have a protrusion 25, so even when the wireless communication tag 3 is attached to the side surface 201 of the body 20 as in this embodiment, the protrusion 25 can prevent another container 1 (a wireless communication tag 3 of another container 1) from approaching.

[0057] In particular, the protrusions 25 in this embodiment are formed above, below, left, and right of the wireless communication tag 3, thereby preventing other containers 1 from approaching around the wireless communication tag 3, thereby more reliably maintaining a state suitable for communication with the wireless communication tag 3.

[0058] Furthermore, since the protrusions 25 are provided around the wireless communication tag 3 so as to open up the outer area of ​​the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3, the outer area of ​​the wireless communication tag 3 is opened up, making it difficult for the communication environment with the wireless communication tag 3 to deteriorate. In particular, in the case of an NFC tag with a short communication distance, it is easier to bring the tag closer to the communicator, making it easier to send and receive data to and from the communicator.

[0059] The communication environment refers to the ease with which a communicator (for example, a reader or writer for the wireless communication tag 3) can be brought close to the wireless communication tag 3 and the ease with which radio waves transmitted and received by the wireless communication tag 3 can pass through. If the protruding portion 25 is formed so as not to overlap the front of the wireless communication tag 3 (so that the protruding portion 25 does not overlap the wireless communication tag 3 when viewed from the front), it is possible to prevent the protruding portion 25 from interfering with bringing a communicator close to the wireless communication tag 3 and from attenuating the radio waves transmitted and received by the wireless communication tag 3.

[0060] The container with a wireless communication tag of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0061] In the wireless communication tagged container 1 of the above embodiment, the side surface 201 of the outer circumferential surface of the body 20 is configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the corner portion 200 of the outer circumferential surface of the body 20 may be configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25.

[0062] In this case, the protrusion 25 may be formed at least at one of the positions shifted to one side (upward) in the height direction from the mounting portion 24 and the other side (downward) in the height direction from the mounting portion 24.

[0063] In the container 1 with a radio communication tag shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a protruding portion 25 is provided at a position aligned with the mounting portion 24 on the other side in the height direction.

[0064] 9 and 11, in the container 1 with a wireless communication tag, when the wireless communication tag 3 is placed in the placement portion 240, the outer surface of the wireless communication tag 3 is configured to be flush or approximately flush with the outer surface of the peripheral portion 241. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, the attachment portion 24 is located radially inward (toward the center of the container body 2) than the other corners 200 (corners 200 where the attachment portion 24 is not formed), but is located radially outward from the inner peripheral surface of the neck portion 23.

[0065] Furthermore, when the protrusion 25 is formed so as to be aligned on the other side in the height direction relative to the mounting portion 24, as shown in Figure 12, even when multiple containers 1 with wireless communication tags are lined up, the area from the front to the top of the wireless communication tag 3 is also widely open, making it easier to bring the communicator close to the wireless communication tag 3.

[0066] In the container 1 with a radio communication tag of the above embodiment, the body 20 is configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 , it is sufficient that the shoulder portion 22 is configured to have the attachment portion 24. In this case, the body 20 may be configured to have the protrusion 25. If the outer peripheral surface of the body 20 is located radially outward from the radio communication tag 3, the outer peripheral surface of the body 20 can be the protrusion 25. In the container 1 with a radio communication tag shown in FIG. 13 , the corner portion 200 forms the protrusion 25.

[0067] In the wireless communication tagged container 1 of the above embodiment, the body 20 is configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Fig. 14, the bottom 21 may be configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25.

[0068] In the wireless communication tagged container 1 of the above embodiment, the body 20 is configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the neck 23 may be configured to have the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the protrusion 25 is configured to have the lateral protrusion 250 and the vertical protrusion 251, but is not limited to this configuration. The protrusion 25 may be configured to have, for example, only one of the lateral protrusion 250 and the vertical protrusion 251. In this way, the protrusion 25 may be configured to have at least one of the lateral protrusion 250 and the vertical protrusion 251. In this way, it is sufficient that the protrusion 25 is provided on at least a portion of the periphery of the wireless communication tag 3.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the side protrusion 250 is configured to have one first side protrusion 250a and one second side protrusion 250b, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the side protrusion 250 may be configured to have a plurality of first side protrusions 250a formed and aligned in the height direction relative to the container body 2, or may be configured to have a plurality of second side protrusions 250b formed and aligned in the height direction relative to the container body 2.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the dimension in the height direction of the side protrusion 250 is larger than the dimension in the height direction of the wireless communication tag 3, but this is not limiting. For example, the dimension in the height direction of the side protrusion 250 may be smaller than the dimension in the height direction of the wireless communication tag 3.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the vertical side protrusion 251 is configured to have one first vertical side protrusion 251a and one second vertical side protrusion 251b, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the vertical side protrusion 251 may be configured to have a plurality of first vertical side protrusions 251a formed and aligned in the circumferential direction with respect to the container body 2, or may be configured to have a plurality of second vertical side protrusions 251b formed and aligned in the circumferential direction with respect to the container body 2.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the circumferential dimension of the vertical side protrusion 251 is larger than the circumferential dimension of the wireless communication tag 3, but this is not limiting. For example, the circumferential dimension of the vertical side protrusion 251 may be smaller than the circumferential dimension of the wireless communication tag 3.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the protrusion 25 is formed so as to open the outer area of ​​the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the protrusion 25 may be formed so as to pass through the outer area of ​​the front surface of the wireless communication tag 3.

[0075] In this case, for example, the lateral protrusions 250 may be formed so as to cross the front of the wireless communication tag 3 in the circumferential direction, or the vertical protrusions 251 may be formed so as to pass in front of the wireless communication tag 3 in the height direction. However, forming the protrusions 25 so as not to block the front of the wireless communication tag 3 makes it less likely that the communication environment will deteriorate.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the protrusion 25 is formed integrally with the container body 2, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the protrusion 25 formed separately from the container body 2 may be attached to the container body 2.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the body portion 20 has a rectangular cylindrical shape, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the body portion 20 may have a cylindrical shape.

[0078] In the above embodiment, the body 20 includes four corners 200, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the number of corners 200 included in the body 20 may be one to three, or may be five or more.

[0079] Although not specifically mentioned in the above embodiment, the neck portion 23 may be structured so that the opening is opened and closed by attaching and detaching a lid, or may be structured so that the opening is opened and closed while the lid is attached.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the attachment portion 24 is formed to be located radially inward from the side surface of the trunk portion 20, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, as long as the tip of the protrusion 25 is located radially outward from the attachment portion 24, the attachment portion 24 may be formed to be located flush with or approximately flush with the side surface of the trunk portion 20, or may be formed to be located radially outward from the side surface of the trunk portion 20.

[0081] In the above embodiment, one wireless communication tag 3 is provided for one side surface portion 201, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, one wireless communication tag 3 may be provided for each of a plurality of side surfaces 201. In this case, it is sufficient that the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25 are formed for each of the side surfaces 201 on which the wireless communication tag 3 is provided. Similarly, when the wireless communication tag 3 is provided on a corner portion 200, one wireless communication tag 3 may be provided for each of the plurality of corner portions 200, and in this case, it is also sufficient that the attachment portion 24 and the protrusion 25 are formed for each of the corner portions 200 on which the wireless communication tag 3 is provided.
