Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tag using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, and more particularly, to a tag for RFID, which can be applied regardless of the sort and form of an object requiring identification and be used for multiuse.
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- An RFID tag generally composed of an antenna and an IC chip transmits and receives predetermined data from an external reading unit.
- the RFID tag is called as a transponder.
- the RFID tag can transmit and receive required data from an external reader-writer device according to a non-contact method.
- the RFID tag is used in managing products because of the characteristic of the non-contact method and is variously used for IC cards for payment or passes.
- the RFID tag can transmit and receive data with a reader-writer device by using the non-contact method. According to some method, since the RFID tag generates a electric power by itself with receiving high frequency from a reader-writer device and resonating an induced current, the RFID tag can be operated without a battery. [Table 1]
- a method of using a tag for parcels or clothes has advantages in which coupling is simple and recycling is possible and disadvantages in which a risk of loss exists and a tag can be easily damaged by an external shock.
- a tag manufactured by molding has an advantage of protecting an inner RFID module in order to be used in an inferior condition but has disadvantages in which the tag manufactured by molding can not be recycled because RFED components cannot be separated to bee used in other usages and injection molding itself costs relatively higher and more difficult than other processes.
- the RFID tag is composed of an antenna and an IC chip.
- a substrate formed in a sheet shape composed of a plastic material such as PVC, PCB, PE, and PA, and the substrate is formed to a thickness of approximately less than lOO ⁇ m to form the antenna.
- a wire section of the antenna is installed above the substrate with a chip or connected to a chip outside of a film by using a direct bonding method or a chip on board (COB) method.
- COB chip on board
- the size of the RFID tag may be determined according to the size of chips, the size of antennas, proficiency in a process, and use of a battery for generating electric power, etc.
- the size of the RFID tag is determined depending on the size of antennas. Accordingly, the size of antennas is determined depending on recognition range required in a reader- writer device, and the size of tags can be enlarged or reduced according to the determined antenna size. In addition, the size of antennas can be determined according to the range of used frequency. Since frequency recently employed in conventional RFID is in a band from approximately 13.56MHz and under, there is a limitation in the size of antennas and the material of housings. However, it will be tried to use communication frequency for RFID from approximately 900MHz and over, thereby relaxing the limitation on the antenna size and housing material.
- a tag for RFID used in a high frequency band more than approximately 900MHz can more smoothly perform electromagnetic wave communication with a reader-writer device than a tag for RFID used in low frequency band
- the antenna size and component material are less limited. Accordingly, it is expected that the size of RFID tags can be substantially reduced and RFID tags in various forms in which shapes and sizes are not limited can be realized.
- conductive materials disturb smooth communication between RFID tags and a reader-writer device. For example, in case that an RFED tag is attached to a metal surface or is covered by metal to protect, eddy current occurs in the metal caused by alternating current magnetic field generated by electromagnetic waves.
- the eddy current generates magnetic flux bounding against magnetic flux for transmission and receipt to attenuate the magnetic flux for transmission and receipt, thereby disturbing smooth communication.
- conventionally used frequency that is approximately 13.56MHz or less corresponds to relatively low frequency, and there are many problems generated by communication failure caused by peripheral conductive material in using RFID tags in the frequency band.
- a housing formed of nonconductive material such as plastic may be used for protecting an RFID module and smooth communication between the RFDD module and a reader-writer device.
- the durability of the nonconductive material such as plastic is poor against external shocks.
- a container firstly protecting an RFDD module may be formed by using the nonconductive material but breakage caused by an impact cannot be avoided by using the structure of a conventional RFDD tag.
- the present invention provides an RFDD tag which can firstly insulate an RFDD module from the outside and simultaneously not disturb smooth communication between the RFID module and a reader-writer device and secondly protect the RFDD module
- the present invention provides an RFDD tag that can be minimized, simply installed, simply separated, and recycled to be economical.
- an RFDD tag its structure can present various shapes and colors and be availably used in addition to being used as a tag.
- an eyelet for RFID hereinafter, referred to as an RFID eyelet for convenience of description
- an RFID eyelet including an eyelet washer, an eyelet base, and an RFID module.
- the structure of an eyelet is used.
- the RFID module is interposed between the eyelet base and the eyelet washer with an object.
- the eyelet base or eyelet washer formed with the same size as the RFID module or larger than the RFID protect the RFID module by insulating from the outside and effectively protect the RFID module from external shocks by using the structure of the eyelet that is adhere to the object and firmly fixed to the object.
- the eyelet washer and eyelet base may be composed of nonconductive material.
- conductive material an RFID module installed in the same has a difficulty in communication with the reader-writer device. The electromagnetic wave communication between the RFID module and the reader-writer device can be performed without any disturbance by using nonconductive material.
- the eyelet structure that is adhered to the object to be fixed and has a relatively small size is used, thereby effectively protecting the RFID module from harsh external environment.
- the application field and ripple effects can be enormously grown.
- the process of manufacturing and equipping the eyelet is also simple and there are already many manufacturing facility systems, the cost of the RFID tag can be notably lowered.
- currently eyelets are used in tags used for identifying goods sent by air freight or rail freight. In this case, if eyelets for RFID replace conventional ordinary eyelets, information on goods can be automatically grasped instead of confirming one by one and the lost articles or wrong delivery can be prevented.
- the RFID eyelet can endure external shocks or other harsh environments and protect the RFED module inside the RFID eyelet. In case that the RFID tag is engaged with a package by a wire or a rubber band, the tag can be separated to be recycled, that is very economical.
- the RFID eyelet can be simply fixed to various objects by using conventional eyelet interlock units, and non-contact method identification technology using RFID via the RFID eyelet can be applied to various fields, not only fields in which eyelets are used, such as clothes, shoes, lightproof tents, tents for construction materials, but also some fields in which eyelets are not used.
- an eyelet or grommet includes not only an eyelet as a simple fastener but also forming a relatively strengthened hole on weak material such as paper and textile. Accordingly, various elements in the shape of a conventional eyelet may be applied to the eyelet of the present invention.
- An eyelet is generally composed of an eyelet base corresponding to a male part and an eyelet washer corresponding to a female part. The eyelet washer is disposed against the eyelet base, adhered and fixed to the eyelet base with an object is therebetween. The eyelet washer is fixed to the object by a barrel of the eyelet base and supports a hole formed in the object via the barrel or a hole formed in the eyelet washer.
- the shape or sort of the eyelet can be known with reference to conventional eyelets. That is, the external form of the eyelet can be variously changed according to the shape of a rim or the eyelet washer, such as the shape of circle, oval, and square. Particularly, the eyelet washer is formed larger than the eye base to use the eyelet washer itself as a tag. In this case, required information can be recorded in the eyelet washer. It is one of great advantages that conventional eyelet coupling devices can be used for equipping an object with the eyelet. A device that can automatically or manually feed the RFID module to a conventional eyelet coupling device can be additionally used.
- the RFED module is simply adhered to an object and can be engaged with the object by using a conventional eyelet coupling device to connect the RFID eyelet. That is, since a conventional coupling device can be used, there is no heavy load to add the RFID technology to the eyelet.
- the eyelet washer and eyelet base can be composed of nonconductive material such as plastic. Only, while conventional eyelet washer and eyelet base composed of a metal with high malleability and ductility can be processed via pressing, an eyelet washer and eyelet base composed of plastic can not be processed via pressing by using malleability and ductility.
- At least one slanted projection is formed on the outer surface of a barrel in the eyelet base, and a locker is formed in the eyelet washer in response to the slanted projection.
- One or a plurality of slanted projections can be formed according to purpose and use condition, and one or a plurality of lockers can be formed in response to the projection.
- the eyelet base and eyelet washer can be fixed to an object maintaining various intervals according to the thickness of the object.
- an internal flange or external flange projected toward inside can be formed on the inner circumference or outer circumference of the eyelet washer.
- the internal or external flange protects the RFID module and simultaneously fixes the RFID module in the RFID eyelet.
- a designer can control the diameter such that a passage hole of the RFID module is circumscribed about the internal flange. In this case, even if the outer diameter of the RFID module is changed, the RFID module can be stably fixed on the basis of the internal flange. Also, a designer can control the outer diameter of the RFID module such that the RFID module is inscribed in the external flange.
- the size of a coil antenna can be changed according to the use of the RFID eyelet. In this case, the size of an RFID substrate is controlled based on the internal or external flange to simply assemble and stably fix the RFID module.
- the eyelet base including the external flange can assist in assembling and fixing the RFID module.

- the eyelet washer 410 when the eyelet washer 410 is engaged with the barrel 430 passing through the object OBJ, the opening of the eyelet washer 410 approaches to the side of the barrel 430 and the locker section 414 of the eyelet base 410 is engaged with the fixing groove 436, thereby coupling the eyelet washer 410 with the eyelet base 420.
- the eyelet washer 410 enters becomes open centered on the opening, and the first barrel piece 432 and second barrel piece 434 are slightly slanted inside such that the eyelet washer 410 easily enters.
- the end portion of the eyelet washer 410 may be rounded off, thereby inducing the end portion of the eyelet washer 410 to easily enter.
- the RFID module 440 is interposed between the rim 425 of the eyelet base 420 and the object OBJ.
- the RFID module 440 is also formed in a ring shape similar to the rim 425 and includes an RFID substrate 442, an antenna 444, and an RFID chip 446.
- the RFID substrate 442 is a sheet composed of nonconductive material, and the antenna 444 is formed in a pattern shape on the RFID substrate 442 by etching or embedding.
- the RFID chip 446 is electrically connected to the antenna 444 and formed above the RFID substrate 442. Since the eyelet washer 410 and the eyelet base 420 are composed of nonconductive material, the RFID module and an external reader-writer device RW can perform electromagnetic wave communication without disturbance.
- the eyelet washer 410 and eyelet base 420 can be simply coupled with each other by interlock between the fixing groove 436 and locker section 414.
- an external flange is not formed on the rim 425 of the eyelet base 420 according to the present embodiment.
- an external flange projected from the outside of the rim can protect an RFID module, and the size of the flange is controlled such that the RFID module is inscribed in the external flange, thereby stably fixing the RFID module.
- the eyelet washer 110 and eyelet base 120 can be separated to recycle the RFID tag 140 and a high-priced RFID module can be reused, thereby obtaining economical saving effect.
- the RFID eyelet according to the present invention can perform a first function to insulate an RFID module from the outside and simultaneously perform a second function to protect the RFID module from external shocks without disturbing smooth communication between the RFID module and a reader-writer device.
- conductive material such as metal
- the communication between the RFID module and the reader- writer device is disturbed.
- nonconductive material such as plastic
- the defect of being easily damaged by external shocks can not be overcome.
- nonconductive material is used and the eyelet structure is applied, thereby obtaining effects of smooth communication between the RFID module and an external reader-writer device and sufficiently protecting the RFED module.
- the eyelet structure is closely adhered and fixed to an object and has a relatively small size, a space for installing an RFID is small and the RFID module can be effectively protected from harsh external environment.
- the eyelet since the eyelet is used in many fields in real life, the application fields and ripple effects is enormously grown.
- the manufacture and installation processes are simple to be profitable to mass production.
- the technology to manufacture assembly systems such as eyelet coupling devices is already developed, and the systems are widely used, the cost of grafting the eyelet technology into the RFID technology is not high.
- the RFID eyelet can be applied to various fields by minimizing the size of a tag.
- the RFED module of the RFID eyelet is relatively high-priced, many economical effects can be obtained when the RFID module is recycled.
- the eyelet structure that is easy to separate or dismantle is used, thereby simply separating the high-priced RFID module after once using the RFID eyelet to recycle and obtaining economical effects caused by recycling.
- an RFID module is firmly adhered using adhesives, thereby making the separation of the RFID module impossible.
- a function to damage an RFID chip is added in order to previously prevent abusing the RFID module.
- the RFED eyelet can be presented in various shapes and colors to elevate the value of goods.
