Description

  The present invention relates to a working tool such as a scalpel, a forceps, a surgical tool such as scissors, a forceps or the like, a tool such as a pliers, a spanner or the like equipped with a data carrier capable of recording data.

Keeping manufacturer's name, model number, date of manufacture, serial number, etc. in working tools such as surgical tools such as scalpel, scissors, scissors, forceps etc., tools such as pliers, spanner, etc., shipment, sales, storage It is convenient for checking the number of work tools, sorting out etc. at times etc.
Also, with surgical tools such as scalpels, scissors, scissors and forceps, make sure that the specified type of tools and the number are correct before surgery, and that all tools have been correctly recovered after surgery. In order to confirm, in addition to the above-mentioned data, it is convenient for performing a confirmation operation if each tool holds recognition data such as an individual ID (individual number).

  Conventionally, as a method of holding data in a work tool, data consisting of letters, numbers, symbols, etc. is printed or imprinted on a label or name plate, and this is directly affixed to the work implement or affixed to its packaging material (See Patent Document 1).

However, if labels or nameplates printed or imprinted with data consisting of letters, numbers, symbols, etc. are affixed to work tools, the labels or nameplates may be damaged during transportation, work, etc., and they may fall off, resulting in data loss. There was a problem that it could not be read.
Moreover, printing and imprinting data consisting of letters, numbers, symbols and the like on labels and nameplates is time-consuming, and there is also a problem that misreading occurs because a person visually reads the data.

In particular, surgical tools such as scalpels, scissors, scissors, forceps, etc. are strictly managed before and after surgery, etc. whether they are sterilized, the number is uniform, the type is appropriate, or the use is not prohibited. It is required to do.
Therefore, in order to prevent misreading of data by vision, recently, a method of imprinting a two-dimensional bar code on a surgical instrument and automatically reading data by a reading apparatus is also adopted.

However, in the method of imprinting a two-dimensional bar code, if blood etc. adheres to the surface, it can not be read out, or the tool made of stainless steel has a low surface hardness, so the imprint wears away in a relatively short period and disappears. In addition, because it was not possible to read a plurality of pieces at the same time, it was necessary to read the surgical tools one by one, which took a long time for reading.
In addition, since it is necessary to hold the surgical tool at the time of the reading operation and properly align the two-dimensional bar code with the reading area of the reader, the operator is exposed to the risk of touching blood and becoming infected with hepatitis or the like.
Furthermore, if blood adheres, two-dimensional barcodes can not be read, so it is necessary to wipe off the blood attached to the surgical instrument, which takes time and effort. At the time of reading, it is pointed out that there is a risk of an accident such as a prick on a finger even though a surgical instrument with a sharp tip is careful.

In addition, although a method was considered in which the RFID data carrier was attached to the work tool for management, the presence of metal in the vicinity makes it difficult for the electromagnetic field to read and write to the RFID data carrier to reach and the RFID data carrier does not function. Since an ordinary RFID data carrier is coated with a synthetic resin sheathing material and easily damaged when it receives an external impact, it is difficult to put a working tool on which the RFID data carrier is used for practical use.
Furthermore, although it is necessary to sterilize the surgical tool, the surgical tool is exposed to high temperature, chemical solution, and medicinal gas during this sterilization process, but the RFID data carrier coated with the synthetic resin exterior material is heat resistant. And chemical resistance problems, and could not be used for such applications.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, the RFID data carrier 100 in which the IC chip mounting body 110 (inlet) integrated by bonding the IC chip 112 to the coil antenna 111 is integrated with the ceramic exterior materials 120 and 130 is used. There has been developed a work tool 200 which is accommodated in a holding member 220 and which can be fixed to the work tool 210 (see Patent Document 2).

According to the work tool 200 of Patent Document 2, the data carrier 100 is not damaged or dropped during transportation, work, etc., and the data carrier 100 is not damaged even when exposed to high temperature or chemical solution during sterilization work. While it is easy to write data on the carrier 100, the data can be read reliably and quickly, and the worker is not exposed to the risk of infection or the like.

  Also, the data carrier can be easily attached later without any special processing on the work tool.

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2004-054553 JP 2007-183840 A

  However, in the work tool described in Patent Document 2, since the RFID data carrier 100 is mounted by laser welding the holding member 220 to the work tool 210, an extra member such as the holding member 220 is required, and the time for welding operation is increased. It was bothersome to me.

  Further, since the holding member 220 and the work tool 210 need to be in close contact with each other without a gap, it has been necessary to scrape a part of the work tool and process it into an attachable plane.

  In addition, since the holding member 220 is fixed to the work tool 210, there is also a problem that when the work tool 210 is used, the work is difficult because the holding member 220 is in the way.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and does not require an extra member such as a holding member, and the mounting operation is quick and easy, and a working tool is used. An object of the present invention is to provide a work tool which does not cause a problem that the holding member is in the way when working, making it difficult to work.
In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an attachment method that does not require any additional processing on the work implement 210 in order to attach the RFID data carrier 100.

  In order to achieve the above object, the work tool according to the present invention has an IC chip mounting body (inlet) in which an IC chip is joined to a coil antenna and integrated, on one side of an RFID data carrier coated with a synthetic resin exterior material. A fitting protrusion is formed, and the fitting protrusion is fitted in and fitted to a fitting hole formed in a work tool.

Here, it is preferable to perform laser welding over the entire circumference of the portion where the fitting hole and the fitting protrusion abut.
In addition, the part where the fitting hole and the fitting protrusion are in contact may be fixed by silver brazing, soldering, or any other welding method over the entire circumference.

According to the work tool of the present invention, the fitting protrusion can be fitted in the fitting hole and laser welding can immediately mount the RFID data carrier, which is an unnecessary member for mounting the RFID data carrier. It is not necessary and does not take much time to install.
Here, the portion where the fitting hole portion and the fitting protrusion are in contact may be fixed by silver brazing, soldering, or other various welding methods over the entire circumference.

  Also, if the RFID data carrier is damaged, it can be easily replaced, which is extremely convenient.

  A preferred embodiment of a first work implement fitted with an RFID data carrier according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present invention, as the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) data carrier, the RFID data carrier 10 in which an ultra-small IC chip and an antenna for wireless communication are integrated and covered with a synthetic resin exterior material is used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the RFID data carrier 10 is obtained by inserting the inlet 20 in a synthetic resin outer package, and the synthetic resin outer package comprises a cylindrical main body 30 and a disc-like lid 40. It is a joint.

The inlet 20 has a cylindrical coil shape, and is inserted into the main body 30, filled with a synthetic resin such as silicon, and fixed.

As shown in FIG. 2, one end 31 of the main body 30 is slightly expanded in diameter from the middle portion 32 thereof, and is slightly elastically shrunk. Also, the other end 33 is slightly protruded outward.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 40 has an inside diameter substantially the same as the outside diameter of the other end 33 of the main body 30.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the main body 30 and the lid 40 are completely joined by fitting the other end 33 of the main body 30 to the inner portion of the lid 40 and ultrasonic welding, and the RFID data Carrier 10 can be configured.

The working tool shown in FIG. 4 is a forceps 50 which is a surgical tool, and the forceps 50 includes a holding portion 51, a hook-like portion 52, and a holding portion 53.
Further, a mounting hole 53a is formed in the grip portion 53, and a narrow notch groove 53b is formed from the mounting hole 53a to the outer periphery.

  The notch groove 53 b serves to prevent the formation of a short ring around the RFID data carrier 10. If a metal is present around the RFID data carrier 10, the metal forms a short ring, which absorbs the energy of the electromagnetic field from the reader, resulting in a decrease in reading performance. In addition, the resonance frequency of the inlet is shifted due to the influence of the short ring, and the energy transfer efficiency is deteriorated.

  And as shown to FIG. 5 (A), in the case of the mounting hole 53a without a level | step difference, if one end part 31 of the main body 30 is press-fit in the mounting hole 53a from the surface side of the forceps 50, the one end part 31 will be diameter-reduced. Then, it passes through the mounting hole 53a, and the one end portion 31 protrudes from the back surface side.

  On the other hand, since the peripheral portion of the lid 40 abuts on the surface side of the forceps 50, the RFID data carrier 10 is attached to the grip portion 53 of the forceps 50.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the case of the mounting hole 53a having a step, if one end 31 of the main body 30 is pressed into the mounting hole 53a from the surface side of the insulator 50, the diameter of the one end 31 is reduced. Then, the mounting portion passes through the mounting hole 53a, and the one end portion 31 abuts on the step portion on the back surface side.

  On the other hand, since the peripheral portion of the lid 40 abuts on the stepped portion on the surface side of the forceps 50, the RFID data carrier 10 is attached to the grip portion 53 of the forceps 50 and protrudes from the front and back surfaces of the grip portion 53 do not do.

  As described above, the RFID data carrier 10 can be easily attached to the forceps 50 as shown in FIG. 7 by pressing the RFID data carrier 10 into the forceps 50 which is a work tool.

To write and read data on the RFID data carrier 10, an RFID device 300 as shown in FIG. 22 is used.
The RFID device 300 includes an antenna 301, a controller 302, and a computer 303, and communicates data and the like with the RFID data carrier 10 by an electromagnetic induction method.

  The controller 302 is connected to the antenna 301 and the computer 303 via a cable, and outputs a command to be transmitted to the RFID data carrier 10, for example, a data write command, a data read command, etc. to the antenna 301 according to an instruction from the computer 303. Do. Also, the data from the RFID data carrier 10 received by the antenna 301 is input.

Wireless communication is performed between the antenna 301 of the RFID device 300 and the coil antenna 11 of the RFID data carrier 10.
That is, from the RFID device 300, power supplied to the RFID data carrier 10, data for writing, and other commands are transmitted, and from the RFID data carrier 10, read data and other response signals are transmitted.

In the case of tools such as scalpels, surgical tools such as scissors, scissors 50, tools such as pliers and spanners, if the reading and writing of data is limited from one direction, the working tools face the back If the data can not be read, it is not practical.
Therefore, in working tools such as surgical tools and tools, it is preferable that the RFID data carrier 10 be attached so that reading and writing of data can be performed from both directions.

  The RFID data carrier 10 has the inlet 20 inserted in a synthetic resin outer package, and the synthetic resin outer package is a cylindrical main body 30 joined with a disc-shaped lid 40. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the synthetic resin sheathing material is constituted only of the cylindrical main body 70, the IC chip mounting body 20 is inserted into the main body 70, and the whole inside of the main body 70 is heat-resistant adhesive 80. The RFID data carrier 60 may be sealed.

  According to this RFID data carrier 60, unlike the RFID data carrier 10 shown in FIG. 1, the work of ultrasonic welding between the main body 30 and the lid 40 is unnecessary, so it is easy to configure the RFID data carrier 60. It becomes.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, in the case of the mounting hole 53a having a step, if one end 71 of the main body 70 is pressed into the mounting hole 53a from the surface side of the insulator 50, the diameter of the one end 71 is reduced The end portion 71 passes through the hole 53a and abuts on the step portion on the back surface side.

  On the other hand, since the other end of the main body 70 abuts on the step on the surface side of the forceps 50, the RFID data carrier 60 is attached to the gripping portion 53 of the forceps 50 and protrudes from the front and back surfaces of the gripping portion 53 do not do.

  As described above, the RFID data carrier 60 can be easily attached to the forceps 50 as shown in FIG.

However, in the case of the RFID data carrier 60, there is no lid, and the inlet 20 is fixed with only the adhesive 80, so that the inlet 20 may escape from the opening of the main body 70.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, it is preferable to form a plurality of projections 70 a in the circumferential direction on the inner wall surface of the opening of the main body 70. In the present embodiment, the projections 70a are formed in a semicircular shape and formed three in the circumferential direction, but the shape and the number thereof are not limited to this.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, in the grip portion 53 of the forceps 50 for mounting the RFID data carrier 10, 60, in order to prevent formation of a short ring around the mounting hole 53a is formed and Although a narrow notch groove 53b is formed from the mounting hole 53a to the outer periphery, communication can be performed without forming the notch groove 53b as shown in FIG. 12 by devising the shape of the antenna on the reader side. It is also possible to configure possible RFID data carriers 10, 60.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the second work tool equipped with the RFID data carrier of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 13, the head portion of a synthetic resin binding band 170 is formed by integrating an RFID data carrier 160 in which an ultra-small IC chip and an antenna for wireless communication are integrated and covered with a synthetic resin exterior material. A data carrier holding member 150 fixed to 171 and integrated is used.

  In the data carrier holding member 150, as shown in FIG. 14, the head portion 171 of the synthetic resin binding band 170 is positioned at the outer peripheral corner portion 53c of the grip portion 53 of the forceps 50 which is a work tool. By winding 53, the RFID data carrier 160 can be mounted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, a data carrier holding member 180 in which an inlet 20 in which an ultra-small IC chip and an antenna for wireless communication are integrated is integrated in a head portion 191 of a synthetic resin binding band 190. You may use

  As shown in FIG. 16, the data carrier holding member 180 positions the head portion 191 of the synthetic resin binding band 190 at the outer peripheral corner portion 53c of the holding portion 53 of the forceps 50 which is a work tool, and holds the band portion 192. By winding around 53, the head portion 191 which is an RFID data carrier can be mounted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18, in the head section 191, the direction of the RFID data carrier is determined such that the direction of the RFID data carrier faces the reading surface of the antenna. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the head portion 191 is formed with the projecting portions 191 b and 191 b at the top and the bottom so as not to rotate with respect to the outer peripheral corner 53 c of the gripping portion 53 of the forceps 50. There is a section 191a.

  With such a configuration, when the head portion 191 of the synthetic resin binding band 190 is attached to the outer peripheral corner portion 53c of the grip portion 53 of the forceps 50, the fitting portion 191a of the head portion 191 is fitted to the outer peripheral corner portion 53c. As a result, the RFID data carrier is securely fixed without oscillation, and data can be read and written quickly and reliably.

  In the above, as a material of the synthetic resin binding bands 170 and 190, it is preferable to adopt medical synthetic resin material having high resistance to autoclave, that is, sufficiently resistant to high-pressure steam sterilization, in particular, It is preferable to employ polyphenyl sulfone (PPSU) and polysulfone (PSU).

  According to the second working tool of the present invention, the RFID data carrier can be immediately attached by winding the synthetic resin binding band 170, 190 around the working tool, and the RFID data carrier can be attached to the working tool. There is no need for extra members, and it takes less time to install.

In addition, it is not necessary to drill the mounting hole in the work tool, and there is no need to process the work tool, so
It is extremely convenient.

  Furthermore, according to the data carrier holding members 150, 180, and 190 of the present invention, even a general worker who is not particularly trained can be easily attached to a work tool.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the third work tool equipped with the RFID data carrier of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 23, an ultra-small IC chip and an antenna for wireless communication are integrated, and a fitting projection 202 is formed on one side surface of the RFID data carrier 201 covered with a synthetic resin exterior material. The data carrier holding member 200 is used.
Here, the RFID data carrier 201 has a rectangular shape with a length of 6 to 10 mm and a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, and the fitting protrusion 202 is a circle having a diameter of 2 to 3 mm and a length of 3 to 4 mm. It has a columnar shape.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24, in the forceps 50 which is a work tool, fitting holes 53 e are formed at appropriate outer peripheral portions of the gripping portions 53.
The fitting hole 53 e has a circular shape with a diameter of 2 to 3 mm and a depth of 2 to 3 mm corresponding to the fitting protrusion 202.
The fitting hole 53e may be penetrated.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the data carrier holding member 200, the fitting protrusion 202 of the data carrier holding member 200 is fitted in the fitting hole 53e of the holding portion 53 of the forceps 50, and the data carrier holding member 200 is fitted with the fitting hole 53e. The laser data can be fixed to the forceps 50 by laser welding all around the portion where the projection 202 abuts, and the RFID data carrier 200 can be mounted.
The fitting projection 202 may have a tapered shape in which the diameter gradually increases toward the root so as to reduce the gap between the fitting hole 53 e and the fitting projection 202.

  Here, instead of laser welding, the portion where the fitting hole portion and the fitting protrusion abut may be fixed by silver brazing, soldering, or other various welding methods over the entire circumference.

  According to the third work tool of the present invention, the fitting protrusion 202 of the data carrier holding member 200 is fitted to the fitting hole 53e of the forceps 50 even though it is necessary to drill the fitting hole 53e in the work tool. By fitting and laser welding, the RFID data carrier 201 can be immediately attached, no extra members are required to attach the RFID data carrier 201, and the attachment operation does not take time.

  Also, if the RFID data carrier 201 is damaged, it can be easily replaced, which is extremely convenient.

Furthermore, since the pin-shaped fitting projections are inserted into the circular fitting holes, the RFID data carrier 201 can be rotated with respect to the work tool. Thus, the RFID data carrier 201 can be fixed in a direction in which the antenna of the RFID data carrier 201 and the antenna of the RFID device are directly facing each other.
As a result, the antenna of the RFID data carrier 201 and the antenna of the RFID device can be correctly faced, and the maximum communication performance can be obtained.
