技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及RFID(Radio Frequency Identification,射频识别)技术领域,尤其涉及一种带温敏装置的RFID标签、RFID系统及温度检测方法。The invention relates to the technical field of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification), in particular to an RFID tag with a temperature sensitive device, an RFID system and a temperature detection method.
背景技术 Background technique
近几年,RFID系统已经变得日益普遍。RFID系统主要用于对人和物的识别。一般来说,这个系统至少包含一个RFID阅读器,这个RFID阅读器能够在一个设定的范围内发射和接收来自一个或多个RFID标签的射频信号。这个RFID标签一般是封装起来的,可以贴在一个物体上,它包括一个能与天线进行信息交流的微芯片。这个微芯片一般来讲是一个集成电路,它可以用来储存和处理信息,调制解调射频信号,并且可以运行其他的特殊功能。RFID标签的天线是用来接收和发送射频信号,并且通常适用于一种特殊的频率。In recent years, RFID systems have become increasingly common. RFID systems are mainly used for the identification of people and objects. Generally, the system includes at least one RFID reader, which can transmit and receive radio frequency signals from one or more RFID tags within a set range. The RFID tag is usually encapsulated and can be attached to an object, and it includes a microchip that communicates with the antenna. The microchip is generally an integrated circuit that stores and processes information, modulates and demodulates radio frequency signals, and performs other specialized functions. An RFID tag's antenna is used to receive and transmit radio frequency signals, and is usually adapted to a specific frequency.
在一些设备中,带有温敏装置的RFID系统已经被用于监测产品所处环境的温度何时超过了可以接受的温度。一般来说这些设备要求感应装置要有一个持续的能量来源,用来检测温度的改变,但是这会增加设备的成本。另外,一些设备要求感应装置还要与一个比较器电路相连,从而来检测出偏离参考电压的程度大小,这一要求大大增加了设备的成本。总之,改进RFID系统是有必要的,它要求在不使用持续的能量来源或者使用一种低成本的附加电路时可以用来检测温度变化。In some facilities, RFID systems with temperature-sensitive devices have been used to monitor when the temperature of the product's environment exceeds acceptable temperatures. Typically these devices require a continuous power source for the sensing device to detect temperature changes, but this adds to the cost of the device. In addition, some devices require the sensing device to be connected with a comparator circuit to detect the degree of deviation from the reference voltage, which greatly increases the cost of the device. In summary, there is a need for improved RFID systems that can detect temperature changes without using a continuous energy source or using a low-cost additional circuit.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
本发明实施例的温敏装置与RFID标签的芯片相连至少存在三种情况:There are at least three situations in which the temperature-sensitive device in the embodiment of the present invention is connected to the chip of the RFID tag:
两引脚结构:Two-pin structure:
本发明是一种用来检测温度变化的装置、系统和技术。这一系统包含了一个标签,这一标签的芯片上有两个引脚。温敏装置与这两个引脚相连,与天线形成并联结构。外界温度的变化会引起温敏装置两端电压或电流的变化。在引脚与芯片连接的线路上有一个控制通断的逻辑电路和一个电压-电阻转换装置,该连接的线路、控制通断的逻辑电路以及电压-电阻转换装置是芯片的一部分。电压-电阻转换装置的作用是将温敏装置两端电压或电流的变化转换成电阻的变化。The present invention is a device, system and technique for detecting temperature changes. The system consists of a tag with two pins on the chip. The temperature sensitive device is connected to these two pins, forming a parallel structure with the antenna. Changes in external temperature will cause changes in voltage or current across the temperature-sensitive device. There is a logic circuit for controlling on-off and a voltage-resistance conversion device on the circuit connecting the pin and the chip, and the connected circuit, the logic circuit for controlling on-off and the voltage-resistance conversion device are part of the chip. The function of the voltage-resistance conversion device is to convert the change of voltage or current across the temperature-sensitive device into a change of resistance.
逻辑电路的通断决定了温敏装置是否与天线并联。当逻辑电路断开时,温敏装置不与天线并联。此时温敏装置被放置在一定的温度下,天线的第一共振频率和信号强度保持不变。当逻辑电路接通时,温敏装置与天线并联,此时被放置在一定的温度下,天线的特征频率和信号强度至少会有一个发生变化,此时天线工作在第二共振频率下。阅读器能够给标签发送指令控制逻辑电路的通断,在逻辑电路接通时,可以通过比较来自天线的不同频率的信号强度之间的差异来检测温度的改变。The on-off of the logic circuit determines whether the temperature-sensitive device is connected in parallel with the antenna. When the logic circuit is disconnected, the temperature sensitive device is not connected in parallel with the antenna. At this time, the temperature-sensitive device is placed at a certain temperature, and the first resonant frequency and signal strength of the antenna remain unchanged. When the logic circuit is turned on, the temperature-sensitive device is connected in parallel with the antenna. At this time, it is placed at a certain temperature. At least one of the characteristic frequency and signal strength of the antenna will change. At this time, the antenna works at the second resonance frequency. The reader can send instructions to the tag to control the on-off of the logic circuit. When the logic circuit is turned on, the temperature change can be detected by comparing the difference between the signal strengths of different frequencies from the antenna.

There are two pins on the chip of this tag. The temperature sensitive device is connected to these two pins, forming a parallel structure with the antenna. There is a logic circuit for controlling on-off and a voltage-resistance conversion device on the circuit connecting the pin and the chip, and the connected circuit, the logic circuit for controlling on-off and the voltage-resistance conversion device are part of the chip. The function of the voltage-resistance conversion device is to convert the change of voltage or current across the temperature-sensitive device into a change of resistance.
当逻辑电路接通时温敏装置被放置在一定的温度下,天线特征频率和信号强度至少会有一个发生变化,其工作在第二共振频率下。阅读器能够给标签发送指令,并通过比较逻辑电路通断时的不同频率的信号强度之间的差异可以检测温度的改变。更确切地说,电压-电阻转换装置可以是一个将可变电压转换成可变电阻的装置、一个沟型场效应管或者是场效应管的等效电路。而温敏装置的具体实例包括:热电偶温敏装置、半导体温敏装置、PN结晶温敏装置、晶体管温敏装置、晶闸管温敏装置、集成温敏装置等。When the logic circuit is turned on and the temperature sensitive device is placed at a certain temperature, at least one of the characteristic frequency and signal strength of the antenna will change, and it works at the second resonance frequency. The reader can send commands to the tag, and can detect the temperature change by comparing the difference between the signal strength of different frequencies when the logic circuit is turned on and off. More precisely, the voltage-resistance conversion device may be a device for converting a variable voltage into a variable resistance, a trench field effect transistor or an equivalent circuit of a field effect transistor.

就另一个实例而言,这一系统包含了一个标签,这一标签上有两根天线(双偶极天线)。此时有两种情况。第一种情况是温敏装置与这两个引脚相连,与第一根天线形成并联结构。在引脚与芯片连接的线路上有一个控制通断的逻辑电路和一个电压-电阻转换装置,该连接的线路、控制通断的逻辑电路以及电压-电阻转换装置是芯片的一部分。电压-电阻转换装置的作用是将温敏装置两端电压或电流的变化转换成电阻的变化。此时与温敏装置相连的电压-电阻转换装置也与第一根天线并联,而第二根天线始终以第一共振频率正常通信。As another example, the system includes a tag with two antennas (dual dipole antenna). There are two situations at this point. In the first case, the temperature sensitive device is connected to these two pins, forming a parallel structure with the first antenna. There is a logic circuit for controlling on-off and a voltage-resistance conversion device on the circuit connecting the pin and the chip, and the connected circuit, the logic circuit for controlling on-off and the voltage-resistance conversion device are part of the chip. The function of the voltage-resistance conversion device is to convert the change of voltage or current across the temperature-sensitive device into a change of resistance. At this time, the voltage-resistance conversion device connected to the temperature sensitive device is also connected in parallel with the first antenna, while the second antenna always communicates normally at the first resonance frequency.
当逻辑电路接通时,被放置于一定的温度下,第一根天线特征频率和信号强度至少有一个会发生改变,其工作在第二共振频率下。阅读器能够给标签发送指令,并通过比较逻辑电路接通时第一和第二根天线的不同频率的信号强度之间的差异可以检测温度的改变。通过比较第二根天线自身的逻辑电路通断时的不同频率的信号强度之间的差异也可以检测温度的改变。When the logic circuit is turned on and placed at a certain temperature, at least one of the characteristic frequency and signal strength of the first antenna will change, and the first antenna works at the second resonance frequency. The reader is able to send commands to the tag and detect the change in temperature by comparing the difference between the signal strengths of the different frequencies of the first and second antennas when the logic circuit is switched on. Changes in temperature can also be detected by comparing the difference in signal strength at different frequencies when the logic circuit of the second antenna itself is switched on and off.
第二种情况是,温敏装置与这两个引脚相连,与两根天线同时形成并联结构。在引脚与芯片连接的线路上有一个控制通断的逻辑电路和一个电压-电阻转换装置,该连接的线路、控制通断的逻辑电路以及电压-电阻转换装置是芯片的一部分。电压-电阻转换装置的作用是将温敏装置两端电压或电流的变化转换成电阻的变化。此时与温敏装置相连的电压-电阻转换装置也与这两根天线同时并联,这与标签仅含一根天线的情况类似。In the second case, the temperature-sensitive device is connected to these two pins, forming a parallel structure with the two antennas at the same time.

The reader can send commands to the tag, and can detect the temperature change by comparing the difference between the signal strength of different frequencies when the logic circuit is turned on and off. In the first case, the circuit connection is relatively simple, and the resonant frequencies of the two antennas may be different during operation, which will affect the measurement accuracy. In the second case, the circuit connection is more complicated, but the resonant frequency of the two antennas is the same during operation, and the measurement accuracy is higher. More precisely, the voltage-resistance conversion device may be a device for converting a variable voltage into a variable resistance, a trench field effect transistor or an equivalent circuit of a field effect transistor.

如图1所示,为本发明实施例温敏装置与RFID标签芯片相连接的温敏标签10的示意图。如图1所示,标签装置10,包括一个底座15,一个集成电路板13,两个引脚16,17和一个双偶极天线11,12。集成电路板13上有两个引脚16,17,这两个引脚向外与温敏装置14相连,这两个引脚在芯片内部与天线的等效电路并联,并在连接的线路上有一个控制通断的逻辑电路。温敏装置与天线形成并联结构。在天线与芯片连接的线路上有一个控制通断的逻辑电路和一个电压-电阻转换装置,该连接的线路、控制通断的逻辑电路以及电压-电阻转换装置是芯片的一部分。电压-电阻转换装置的作用是将温敏装置两端电压或电流的变化转换成电阻的变化。通过逻辑电路的通断可以控制温敏装置是否被接入芯片电路内,从而可以影响与射频模块相连的天线的频率。当逻辑电路断开时,标签天线以第一共振频率通信。当逻辑电路接通时,被放置于一定的温度下,天线工作在第二共振频率下,其特征频率和信号强度至少会有一个发生改变。As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of a temperature-
在一个实例中,发射端天线11,12由一种或多种不同的低电阻材料制成,这些材料有较高的导电性,例如铜,银,和铝,它们和上述提到的温敏装置通过两个引脚16,17和天线11,12相连,当天线11,12被放置于一定的温度下,温敏装置会引起一个或多个发射端发生共振频率的变化。这个变化的频率与接收和发送的频率都不一样。例如,逻辑电路接通时,温敏装置放置于一定的温度下,就会导致发送频率和接收频率中至少一个发生变化。In one example, the
在另一个实例中,一开始设定的天线频率值将高于一定温度环境下的天线频率,然后当达到一定的温度时,它就会降低。在另一个实例中,一开始设定的天线频率低于一定温度下的天线频率,当达到一定的温度时它就会上升。可用于本发明的这样的温敏装置有:热电偶温敏装置、半导体温敏装置、PN结晶温敏装置、晶体管温敏装置、晶闸管温敏装置、集成温敏装置等。In another example, the antenna frequency value is initially set higher than the antenna frequency at a certain temperature environment, and then when a certain temperature is reached, it is lowered. In another example, the antenna frequency is initially set lower than the antenna frequency at a certain temperature, and it is increased when a certain temperature is reached. Such temperature-sensitive devices that can be used in the present invention include: thermocouple temperature-sensitive devices, semiconductor temperature-sensitive devices, PN crystal temperature-sensitive devices, transistor temperature-sensitive devices, thyristor temperature-sensitive devices, integrated temperature-sensitive devices, and the like.
基于温敏装置的类型不同,导致变化的温度可能是一个特定的温度值也可能是一个有选择性的温度值的范围。时间的长短必然导致天线共振频率的变化,天线质量也会导致不同的变化。例如,天线上带有的温敏装置的类型能够影响改变天线共振频率所需时间的长短。Depending on the type of the temperature sensitive device, the resulting temperature change may be a specific temperature value or a selective range of temperature values. The length of time will inevitably lead to changes in the resonant frequency of the antenna, and the quality of the antenna will also cause different changes. For example, the type of temperature sensitive device on the antenna can affect how long it takes to change the resonant frequency of the antenna.
如图2所示,为RFID标签天线的等效电路图。当标签线圈天线进入读写器产生的交变磁场中,标签天线与读写器天线之间的相互作用就类似于变压器。两者的线圈相当于变压器的初级线圈和次级线圈。由标签天线形成的谐振回路如图2所示,包括标签天线的线圈电感(L)、寄生电容(Cp)和并联电容(C2),其谐振频率为式中C为Cp和C2的并联等效电容,R1,R2为电路内电感线圈及其他装置的等效电阻。标签和读写器双向通信使用的载波频率就是f。当要求标签天线线圈外形很小,即面积小,且需一定的工作距离,RFID标签与读写器问的天线线圈互感量就明显不能满足实际需求,可以在标签天线线圈内部插入具有高导磁率的铁氧体材料,以增大互感量,从而补偿线圈横截面小的问题。As shown in Figure 2, it is an equivalent circuit diagram of the RFID tag antenna. When the tag coil antenna enters the alternating magnetic field generated by the reader, the interaction between the tag antenna and the reader antenna is similar to a transformer. The coils of both are equivalent to the primary and secondary coils of the transformer. The resonant circuit formed by the tag antenna is shown in Figure 2, including the coil inductance (L), parasitic capacitance (Cp) and parallel capacitance (C2) of the tag antenna, and its resonant frequency is In the formula, C is the parallel equivalent capacitance of Cp and C2, and R1 and R2 are the equivalent resistance of the inductance coil and other devices in the circuit. The carrier frequency used for two-way communication between the tag and the reader is f. When the tag antenna coil is required to have a small shape, that is, a small area, and a certain working distance is required, the mutual inductance of the antenna coil between the RFID tag and the reader obviously cannot meet the actual needs, and a high magnetic permeability can be inserted inside the tag antenna coil. The ferrite material is used to increase the mutual inductance, thereby compensating the problem of small cross-section of the coil.

At least one of the characteristic frequency and signal strength of the antenna will change. At this time, the antenna works at the second resonance frequency.
如图4所示,为本发明实施例温敏装置与RFID标签天线直接相连的示意图,即可检测温度变化的无源RFID标签装置40的简图。如图4所示,标签装置40包括一个底座45,一个集成电路43和一个双偶极天线41,42。与天线42相连的温敏装置44将会影响天线42的电阻。温敏装置44所适用的材料可以根据天线41,42中的任何一根的当前电压来控制任何一个既定点的频率。就一个实例而言,安装天线41,42可以使其在相同的频率产生共振。就另一个实例而言,安装天线41,42可以使其在不同的频率产生共振。As shown in FIG. 4 , it is a schematic diagram of a temperature-sensitive device directly connected to an RFID tag antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention, that is, a schematic diagram of a passive RFID tag device 40 that can detect temperature changes. As shown in FIG. 4 , the tag device 40 includes a base 45 , an integrated circuit 43 and a double dipole antenna 41 , 42 . A temperature sensitive device 44 connected to the antenna 42 will affect the resistance of the antenna 42 . The material used for the temperature sensitive device 44 can control the frequency at any given point according to the current voltage of any one of the antennas 41,42. As an example, the antennas 41, 42 are mounted so that they resonate at the same frequency. As another example, antennas 41, 42 may be installed to resonate at different frequencies.
在一个实例中,发射端天线41,42由一种或多种不同的低电阻材料制成,这些材料有较高的导电性,例如铜,银,和铝,它们和上述提到的温敏装置相连,当天线41,42被放置于一定的温度下,温敏装置会引起一个或多个发射端发生共振频率的变化,从而导致一个不同的频率。这个频率的变化与接收和发送的频率都不一样。例如,温敏装置放置于一定的温度下,就会导致发送频率和接收频率中至少一个发生变化。In one example, the transmitting antennas 41, 42 are made of one or more different low-resistance materials with high conductivity, such as copper, silver, and aluminum, which are similar to the above-mentioned temperature-sensitive The devices are connected, and when the antennas 41, 42 are placed at a certain temperature, the temperature-sensitive device will cause a change in the resonant frequency of one or more transmitters, resulting in a different frequency. The change in this frequency is not the same as the received and transmitted frequency. For example, placing the temperature sensitive device at a certain temperature will cause at least one of the transmitting frequency and the receiving frequency to change.
在另一个实例中,一开始设定的天线频率值将高于一定温度环境下的天线频率,然后当达到一定的温度时,它就会降低。在另一个实例中,一开始设定的天线频率低于一定温度下的天线频率,当达到一定的温度时它就会上升。可用于本发明的这样的温敏装置有:热电偶温敏装置、半导体温敏装置、PN结晶温敏装置、晶体管温敏装置、晶闸管温敏装置、集成温敏装置等。In another example, the antenna frequency value is initially set higher than the antenna frequency at a certain temperature environment, and then when a certain temperature is reached, it is lowered. In another example, the antenna frequency is initially set lower than the antenna frequency at a certain temperature, and it is increased when a certain temperature is reached. Such temperature-sensitive devices that can be used in the present invention include: thermocouple temperature-sensitive devices, semiconductor temperature-sensitive devices, PN crystal temperature-sensitive devices, transistor temperature-sensitive devices, thyristor temperature-sensitive devices, integrated temperature-sensitive devices, and the like.
基于温敏装置的类型不同,导致变化的温度可能是一个特定的温度值也可能是一个有选择性的温度值的范围。时间的长短必然导致天线共振频率的变化,天线质量也会导致不同的变化。例如,天线上带有的温敏装置的类型能够影响改变天线共振频率所需时间的长短。Depending on the type of the temperature sensitive device, the resulting temperature change may be a specific temperature value or a selective range of temperature values. The length of time will inevitably lead to changes in the resonant frequency of the antenna, and the quality of the antenna will also cause different changes. For example, the type of temperature sensitive device on the antenna can affect how long it takes to change the resonant frequency of the antenna.
如图5.1所示,热电偶的一个实例结构包括热电极511,512、铂铑丝513,纯铂丝514,保护外壳515以及焊接点516。该热电偶具有动作响应快、测量端热容量小、挠性好、强度高、种类多等优点。An example configuration of a thermocouple includes thermodes 511, 512, platinum-rhodium wire 513, pure platinum wire 514, protective sheath 515, and weld 516, as shown in Figure 5.1. The thermocouple has the advantages of fast action response, small heat capacity at the measuring end, good flexibility, high strength, and many types.
如图5.2所示,为PN结温敏装置。当测量范围在0~150℃,利用二极管PN结的电压与温度的特性,可制成PN结温敏装置,不仅线性比热电偶好,而且灵敏度可达到2mV/℃。由于半导体内的空穴和电子浓度受温度影响很大,因此根据半导体的温度特性制成的温度传感器在医疗器械上得到广泛应用。用PN结制成的温度计其准确度主要由显示仪表的读数准确度决定,它的灵敏度也是其他类型的传感器难以达到的。As shown in Figure 5.2, it is a PN junction temperature-sensitive device. When the measurement range is 0~150°C, using the voltage and temperature characteristics of the PN junction of the diode, a PN junction temperature-sensitive device can be made. Not only is the linearity better than that of a thermocouple, but the sensitivity can reach 2mV/°C. Since the hole and electron concentrations in semiconductors are greatly affected by temperature, temperature sensors made according to the temperature characteristics of semiconductors are widely used in medical devices. The accuracy of a thermometer made of a PN junction is mainly determined by the reading accuracy of the display instrument, and its sensitivity is also difficult to achieve with other types of sensors.
如图6所示,为本发明通过使用多天线的标签装置来检测温度改变的一种方法流程图。需要考虑到的是,上述提到的装置使用一个标签集成电路来进行与多个天线的交流。As shown in FIG. 6 , it is a flowchart of a method for detecting temperature changes by using a multi-antenna tag device according to the present invention. It should be taken into consideration that the aforementioned devices use a single tag IC to communicate with multiple antennas.
如图6所示,50,RFID阅读器向标签装置发送能量和指令。52,逻辑电路在初始时间处于断开的状态,标签装置用不与温敏装置相连的天线接收能量和指令。54,标签装置把携带能量的电磁波转化为DC(直流)电压,从而才能使标签执行指示的要求。而这种转化需要用到一个电荷泵,一个整流电路,或者将其相互连接,或者要用到其他的能量转化装置。56,标签装置通过不与温敏装置相连的天线向阅读器发送信号。58,阅读器测量并记录收到信号的能量强度。60,阅读器向标签装置发送接通逻辑电路的指令。62,标签装置用与温敏装置相连的天线发送数据。64,阅读器测量收到信号的能量强度。66,阅读器计算出一个反映信号强度的比较值。68,阅读器将比较值转化成不同的温度值。就一个实例而言,阅读器会设定一个时间段用来接收标签的信号,如果没有收到信号,阅读器就会将信号强度记录为0。As shown in Figure 6, 50, the RFID reader sends energy and commands to the tag device. 52. The logic circuit is in the disconnected state at the initial time, and the tag device receives energy and instructions through the antenna not connected to the temperature-sensitive device. 54. The tag device converts the electromagnetic wave carrying energy into DC (direct current) voltage, so that the tag can execute the instruction. And this conversion needs to use a charge pump, a rectifier circuit, or connect them to each other, or use other energy conversion devices. 56. The tag device sends a signal to the reader through an antenna not connected to the temperature-sensitive device. 58. The reader measures and records the energy intensity of the received signal. 60. The reader sends an instruction to turn on the logic circuit to the tag device. 62. The tag device sends data through the antenna connected to the temperature-sensitive device. 64. The reader measures the energy strength of the received signal. 66. The reader calculates a comparison value reflecting the signal strength. 68. The reader converts the comparison value into different temperature values. As an example, the reader will set a time period to receive the signal of the tag, if no signal is received, the reader will record the signal strength as 0.
在这个系统中,阅读器将来自不与温敏装置相连的天线的信号强度值作为一个参考值,把它与来与温敏装置相连的标签天线的信号强度值进行比较。通过接收到的来自与温敏装置相连和不与温敏装置相连的发射端的信号,阅读器会收集到代表不同信号强度的比较值。然后,RFID阅读器会把这样一个比较值转化为标签所处的温度。就一个具体的实例而言,配置这个RFID阅读器是为了通过使用储存的参考数据将接收到的来自连接或者不连接温敏装置的天线的RF信号强度的不同转化为温度值。In this system, the reader uses the signal strength value from the antenna not connected to the temperature sensitive device as a reference value and compares it with the signal strength value from the tag antenna connected to the temperature sensitive device. By receiving signals from transmitters connected to the temperature-sensitive device and not connected to the temperature-sensitive device, the reader collects comparison values representing different signal intensities. The RFID reader then converts such a comparison value into the temperature at which the tag is located. For a specific example, the RFID reader is configured to convert the difference in strength of the received RF signal from an antenna connected or not connected to a temperature sensitive device into a temperature value by using stored reference data.
最好的情况是,将不连接温敏装置的天线作为一个参考,可以将由于标签和阅读器之间的耦合所导致的变化过滤掉。此外,正如之前提到的那样,温敏装置被应用到设计中会使它的阻抗值的变化与标签被放置于特定温度下的时间长短形成一一对应的关系。例如,将温敏装置仅在一根天线上进行定位,这样可以允许来自RFID标签装置的信号作为一种功能在一定范围内变化,而这一功能正是天线被放置于一定温度下的时间后才有的功能。同上,通过使用本发明,在RFID标签无源的条件下,RFID阅读器能够检测到标签装置是否已经被放置一定的温度下以及这一温度是否在可接受的范围内。In the best case, use the antenna without the temperature-sensitive device as a reference to filter out variations due to coupling between the tag and the reader. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, a temperature-sensitive device is incorporated into the design so that its impedance changes in a one-to-one relationship with the amount of time the tag is held at a particular temperature. For example, positioning the temperature sensitive device on only one antenna allows the signal from the RFID tag device to vary over a certain range as a function of the time the antenna is placed at a certain temperature. Only function. As above, by using the present invention, under the condition that the RFID tag is passive, the RFID reader can detect whether the tag device has been placed at a certain temperature and whether the temperature is within an acceptable range.
不使用两根天线的各种RFID标签也能用温敏装置来感知到温度的变化,感知温度的变化是基于天线上共振频率的变化也能够识别到天线接收到信号的变化。Various RFID tags that do not use two antennas can also use temperature-sensitive devices to sense changes in temperature. The change in perceived temperature is based on changes in the resonant frequency of the antennas and can also identify changes in signals received by the antennas.
例如通过对与温敏装置相连的天线的设计,能够使天线的频率在ISM(IndustrialScientific Medical,工业、科学、医学)频段内变化,标准的标签上都可以连接上这种与温敏装置以及逻辑电路相连的天线。For example, through the design of the antenna connected to the temperature-sensitive device, the frequency of the antenna can be changed in the ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical, industrial, scientific, medical) frequency band, and the standard label can be connected to the temperature-sensitive device and logic. Antenna connected to the circuit.
例如在一个具体的实例中标签天线可以这么设定,在暴露在一定温度环境中之前,天线的共振频率是902-928MHZ,但是标签一旦暴露在一定温度环境中,由于温度的影响,天线的共振频率就降为899.5-927.5MHZ,在美国RFID的频率频段(902-928MHZ)被分割为52个频道,在这52个频道中阅读器可以随机的跳过不能接收到的频道去,阅读器这种跳跃的好处就是可以有效的防治多个阅读器在同一个物理空间内试图使用同一个频率所造成的冲突。For example, in a specific example, the tag antenna can be set as follows. Before being exposed to a certain temperature environment, the resonant frequency of the antenna is 902-928MHZ, but once the tag is exposed to a certain temperature environment, due to the influence of temperature, the resonance frequency of the antenna The frequency is reduced to 899.5-927.5MHZ. In the US RFID frequency band (902-928MHZ) is divided into 52 channels. In these 52 channels, the reader can randomly skip the channels that cannot be received. The benefit of this jump is that it can effectively prevent conflicts caused by multiple readers trying to use the same frequency in the same physical space.
例如在一个例子中,RFID频段(902-928MHZ)不是划分为52个频道而是平均划分成了n个频道标签的天线设定在此频段(902-928MHZ)下进行工作。由于标签天线与温敏装置相连,所以温度只要超过了预先设定的值的范围,天线标签天线的工作频率就下降到(899.5-927.5MHZ)这个频率范围之中。因此与原来的频段相比较就将频道n从频段范围中排除去,因此变化后的频段(899.5-927.5MHZ)就不再允许标签与频道n进行信息的交流。For example, in one example, the RFID frequency band (902-928MHZ) is not divided into 52 channels but divided into n channel labels evenly. The antenna of the label is set to work in this frequency band (902-928MHZ). Since the tag antenna is connected to the temperature sensitive device, as long as the temperature exceeds the preset value range, the working frequency of the antenna tag antenna will drop to the frequency range (899.5-927.5MHZ). Therefore, compared with the original frequency band, channel n is excluded from the frequency range, so the changed frequency band (899.5-927.5MHZ) no longer allows the tag to communicate with channel n.
在具体的实例中,如果标签所在的环境超过了预期的温度范围,阅读器只能通过频道1至n-1给标签发送指令,标签也能做出反应,因为标签中的天线就只能在这个频率范围内工作,当阅读器以n频道的频率向标签发送指令时,因为标签温度的变化已经导致标签天线的共振频率已经下降到899.5-927.5MHZ,不再达到928MHZ所以标签就不再做出反应,将信息传回阅读器。In a specific example, if the environment where the tag is located exceeds the expected temperature range, the reader can only send instructions to the tag through channels 1 to n-1, and the tag can also respond, because the antenna in the tag can only be in the Working in this frequency range, when the reader sends instructions to the tag at the frequency of channel n, the tag antenna’s resonance frequency has dropped to 899.5-927.5MHZ due to the change of the tag’s temperature, and it will no longer reach 928MHZ, so the tag will no longer do it. Responds and transmits the information back to the reader.
有利的方面是由于温度超出了预先设定的值引起的天线工作频率的变化,就被这种信息交流的消失而反映出来。An advantageous aspect is that changes in the operating frequency of the antenna due to temperature exceeding a preset value are reflected by the loss of this communication.
在模型中,阅读器可以向标签发送一个在频道n-1和频道n之间的指令来进一步确认一下标签天线的工作频率范围已经发生了漂移,因为标签能够接收到通过频道n-1发过来的指令,并且能够通过频道n-1能向阅读器反馈信息,因为标签不能够接收到通过频道n发过来的指令,并且不能够通过频道n能向阅读器反馈信息,这样就确定了标签天线的工作频率范围已经发生了漂移。In the model, the reader can send a command between channel n-1 and channel n to the tag to further confirm that the working frequency range of the tag antenna has drifted, because the tag can receive the signal sent through channel n-1 command, and can feed back information to the reader through channel n-1, because the tag cannot receive commands sent through channel n, and cannot feed back information to the reader through channel n, thus determining the tag antenna The operating frequency range has drifted.
温度的变化导致标签天线的工作频率发生向上和向下的漂移并且本发明并不限制在将频段平均划分为n个频道。The temperature change causes the working frequency of the tag antenna to drift up and down and the present invention is not limited to dividing the frequency band into n channels equally.
