FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing the data carrier according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing the antenna according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the data carrier according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the contactless identification information management system 100 includes a data carrier 10, a reader / writer 40 that reads and writes identification information held by the data carrier 10 via an antenna 30 by electromagnetic induction, and a communication permission unit. A magnet 50 is provided. In FIG. 1, a direction in which the magnet 50 is relatively closer to the data carrier 10 is an approach direction Son, and a direction in which the magnet 50 is relatively away from the data carrier 10 is a separation direction Soff.

  The data carrier 10 includes an IC chip 22 capable of holding identification information and an antenna coil 23 as will be described later. The antenna 30 including the antenna coil 33 is connected to the reader / writer 40. The reader / writer 40 includes a control device 41, a storage unit 42, a modulation amplification unit 43, and a demodulation amplification 44. The control device 41 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and cooperates with a storage unit 42 such as a RAM, a flash memory, a hard disk drive, etc. A function for reading and writing the identification information of the chip 22 can be realized.

  The modulation amplification unit 43 modulates and amplifies the identification information read / write instruction of the control device 41 so that the antenna coil 33 can convert it into an electromagnetic wave. The antenna coil 33 transmits an electromagnetic wave TX of 13.56 MHz. The antenna coil 23 that has received the electromagnetic wave TX activates the IC chip 22 by the induced current, and reads and writes the identification information according to the control signal included in the electromagnetic wave TX. The IC chip 22 responds with the identification information, and the antenna coil 23 sends the electromagnetic wave RX to the antenna coil 33.

  The antenna coil 33 receives the electromagnetic wave RX and inputs it to the demodulation amplification unit 44. The demodulation amplification unit 44 demodulates and extracts the identification information included in the electromagnetic wave RX, and the control device 41 stores it in the storage unit 42. As described above, the frequency band for reading and writing the identification information held by the data carrier 10 by the electromagnetic induction method via the data carrier 10 and the antenna 30 having the antenna coil 33 is a short wave band (for example, 13 MHz to 30 MHz). .56 MHz).

  The non-contact identification information management system 100 according to the first embodiment is only in the proximity state in which the magnet 50 is close to a predetermined distance (hereinafter referred to as an operation distance) in the approach direction Son in which the magnet 50 is relatively close to the data carrier 10. The antenna coil 23 that has received the electromagnetic wave TX can activate the IC chip 22 by an induced current. When the magnet 50 and the data carrier 10 are away from each other in the separation direction Soff beyond the operating distance, leakage of identification information held by the IC chip 22 can be suppressed. For this reason, the contactless identification information management system 100 according to the first embodiment permits communication when the position of the magnet 50 is in the proximity state with the antenna coil 23, and does not permit communication when the magnet 50 is in the proximity state with the antenna coil 23. Can be selected.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the data carrier 10 includes a substrate sheet 11 and a non-contact data carrier element (IC inlet) 12. The IC inlet 12 includes an electronic circuit 21 including an antenna coil 23 and an IC chip 22 that can hold identification information. The substrate sheet 11 functions as a support that holds the IC inlet 12. The substrate sheet 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has a function as a support capable of stably holding the IC inlet 12, and may be transparent or opaque. The material of the substrate sheet 11 is a resin material and has an insulating property. The electronic circuit 21 includes an antenna coil 23, terminal portions 24 and 25 connected to the antenna coil 23, terminal portions 26 and 27 that are spaced apart from the terminal portions 24 and 25, and a terminal portion. 26 and 27, a lead wire 28 that connects the terminal portions 24, 27, and a jumper wire 29 that connects the terminal portion 24 and the terminal portion 27, and an insulating layer 20 that insulates the antenna coil 23 from the jumper wire 29.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the antenna 30 includes a substrate sheet 34, an antenna coil 33, and terminal portions 31 and 32 positioned at the end portions of the antenna coil 33. The material of the substrate sheet 34 is a resin material and has an insulating property. The material of the antenna coil 33 and the terminal portions 31 and 32 is a conductive material such as copper or silver, and a planar coil is formed on one surface of the substrate sheet 34.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the data carrier 10 includes a protective sheet 13 that protects one forming surface 11 a on which the IC chip 22 and the antenna coil 23 are formed on the substrate sheet 11. The substrate sheet 11 and the protective sheet 13 are fixed so as to face each other through the insulating layer 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the data carrier according to the first embodiment is detachable at a position that does not overlap the line of the antenna coil 23 in the direction perpendicular to one surface (formation surface 11 a) of the substrate sheet 11. A magnet 50 is provided. Specifically, the magnet 50 is fitted into the protective sheet 13 so as to overlap the outer region of the outermost periphery ot around which the antenna coil 23 is wound. By setting it as such arrangement | positioning, possibility that the magnet 50 itself may become a shield of the electromagnetic wave TX or the electromagnetic wave RX can be suppressed. For example, the data carrier 10 is provided with a mechanism in which a recess 13 </ b> A is provided on the end surface of the protective sheet 13 and a magnet 50 can be inserted. With this structure, the magnet 50 can apply a magnetic field to the antenna coil 23. In addition, the magnet 50 may be affixed on the protective sheet 13 with an adhesive so as to overlap the outer region of the outermost periphery ot around which the antenna coil 23 is wound.

  At least some or all of the lines wound as the antenna coil 23 are a pattern of a metal wire or a metal film made of a soft magnetic material. The antenna coil 23 can be formed of a soft magnetic metal foil, a deposited film, a thin film formed by sputtering, or the like. Alternatively, the antenna coil 23 may have a pattern in which a conductive paste or conductive ink in which metal particles of a soft magnetic material are dispersed in a binder or a solvent is wound and fixed. A soft magnetic material has a property that a magnetic dipole in a substance is more easily oriented in the direction of the magnetic field when a magnetic field is applied from the outside than a hard magnetic material. On the other hand, hard magnetic materials, that is, permanent magnets, are difficult to direct magnetic dipoles in a substance in the direction of the magnetic field when a magnetic field is applied from the outside, and the magnetic dipoles remain aligned in a specific direction. The material of at least a part of the line of the antenna coil 23 of the present embodiment is an FeNi alloy containing iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni). It is preferable that at least a part of the material of the line of the antenna coil 23 contains 70% by mass or more of Ni and the balance is Fe. More preferably, the material of the antenna coil 23 contains 78% by mass of Ni, with the balance being Fe. By including 70 mass% or more and 85 mass% or less of Ni, at least a part of the line of the antenna coil 23 becomes excellent in high magnetic permeability and magnetization characteristics. The FeNi alloy may contain 0 mass% to 6 mass% of copper (Cu) and 0 mass% to 6 mass% of molybdenum (Mo). Moreover, the FeNi alloy may contain inevitable impurities, and may contain other elements as long as it exhibits soft magnetism.

  The material of at least a part of the line of the antenna coil 23 of the present embodiment is not limited to this, and may be an FeNi alloy containing 42 mass% or more and 49 mass% or less of Ni and the balance being Fe. In addition, the material of at least a part of the line of the antenna coil 23 of the present embodiment may be a FeBSi alloy, a FeCoBSi alloy, or a FeSiAl alloy.

  The magnet 50 is a hard magnetic material, that is, a permanent magnet, and a neodymium magnet, a samarium cobalt magnet, a ferrite magnet, or an alnico magnet can be used. When the relative distance between the magnet 50 and the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil is equal to or less than the operating distance, a magnetic field that magnetically saturates the soft magnetic material can be applied.

  Here, the current density of the induced current flowing through the antenna coil 23 is affected by the skin effect. The current density of the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 increases as the skin depth d increases. When the electrical resistivity of the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 is ρ, the angular frequency of the induced current induced in the antenna coil 23 is ω (= 2πf), and the absolute permeability of the antenna coil 23 is μ, the skin depth d is It can obtain | require by Formula (1).

d = (2ρ / (ωμ)) ^1/2 (1)

  When the magnet 50 is away from a predetermined distance (hereinafter referred to as an operating distance) in a separation direction Soff that is relatively away from the antenna coil 23, the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 is magnetic. Not saturated. Since the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 has a large absolute permeability μ, the skin depth d described above becomes small. For this reason, the current density of the alternating current flowing through the antenna coil 23 is small, and the impedance component of the antenna coil 23 is large. In this case, the power of the IC chip 22 is insufficient and the IC chip 22 cannot be activated.

  When the magnet 50 is close to the antenna coil 23 in the approach direction Son, which is relatively close to the operating distance, the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 is magnetically saturated, and the absolute permeability μ of the antenna coil 23 is It becomes close to the magnetic permeability of air (magnetic permeability = 1). For this reason, when the distance between the magnet 50 and the antenna coil 23 is equal to or less than the operating distance as compared with the case where the magnet 50 is relatively far from the antenna coil 23 beyond the operating distance, the skin depth d described above is growing. For this reason, the current density of the alternating current flowing through the antenna coil 23 increases, and the impedance component of the antenna coil 23 decreases. In this case, the impedance component of the antenna coil 23 becomes equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and an induced current flows through the IC chip 22 and can be operated.

  As described above, the data carrier 10 according to the first embodiment includes at least the antenna coil 23, and the antenna coil 23 is formed of a soft magnetic material at least part of the winding line. When the antenna coil 23 and the magnet 50 are in the above-described proximity state, the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23 is magnetically saturated by the magnetic field of the magnet 50. For this reason, the proximity switch of the first embodiment has a reduced failure probability and high reliability compared to a mechanical switch. Further, the Curie point of the NiFe alloy is 460 ° C., and predetermined magnetic characteristics can be maintained at an environmental temperature greatly exceeding 100 ° C. For this reason, even if the data carrier of Embodiment 1 is environmental temperature exceeding 100 degreeC, it can select communication permission and communication non-permission according to the proximity | contact state of the magnet 50 and the antenna coil 23 stably. it can.

  Since the soft magnetic material is an FeNi alloy containing iron and nickel, the magnetization characteristics are high, and the frequency response to the frequency f can be increased.

  The soft magnetic material is an FeNi alloy and contains 70% by mass or more of Ni. As a result, the absolute permeability is high, and the difference in the change in the skin depth d between the non-proximity state and the proximity state can be increased.

  In the line wound as the antenna coil 23 shown in FIG. 2, a part of the line 23m is a first line made of a soft magnetic material, and lines other than the line 23m are non-magnetic conductive materials having a specific resistance lower than that of the soft magnetic material. The second line may be made of a conductive material. The material of the second line is a material such as copper or aluminum. The line of the antenna coil 23 is such that an induced current always passes through the line 23m. For this reason, the range which the magnet 50 which is a communication permission means influences is limited to the range of the track | line 23m, and it can suppress possibility that the influence of the magnetic field of the magnet 50 will interfere with electromagnetic waves TX and electromagnetic waves RX. And since the material of a 2nd track | line is a nonmagnetic material, it is hard to receive to the influence of the magnetic field of the magnet 50. FIG.

  The non-contact identification information management system 100 only includes a removable magnet 50 in the vicinity of the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23. When the magnet 50 is attached, communication is permitted, and when the magnet 50 is removed, communication is performed. Can be disallowed.

A magnet 50 is provided. Specifically, the magnet 50 is affixed on the protective sheet 13 so as to overlap the inner region of the inner periphery it around which the antenna coil 23 is wound. By setting it as such an arrangement | positioning, possibility that the magnet 50 itself may become a shield of electromagnetic waves TX and electromagnetic waves RX can be suppressed. Even when all of the lines wound around the antenna coil 23 are made of the soft magnetic material described above, the magnet 50 can apply a magnetic field to the entire circumference of the antenna coil 23 to cause magnetic saturation.

  As described above, the non-contact identification information management system 100 according to the second embodiment has the identification information that the data carrier 10 having the antenna coil 23 and the antenna 30 having the antenna coil 33 hold in the data carrier 10 by the electromagnetic induction method. The antenna coil 23 includes a magnet 50 that is a communication permission unit that applies a magnetic field to the soft magnetic material, in which at least a part of the winding line is formed of a soft magnetic material. The non-contact identification information management system 100 according to the second embodiment only includes the removable magnet 50 in the vicinity of the soft magnetic material of the antenna coil 23. When the magnet 50 is attached, communication is permitted and the magnet 50 is removed. If so, communication can be disallowed.

The antenna coil 23 that has received the electromagnetic wave TX can activate the IC chip 22 by an induced current. When the magnet 50 and the antenna 30 are relatively apart from each other in the separation direction Soff beyond the operating distance, the antenna 30 cannot transmit the electromagnetic wave TX, and the identification information held by the IC chip 22 Leakage can be suppressed. For this reason, the non-contact identification information management system 100 of the third embodiment permits communication when the position of the magnet 50 is in the proximity state with the antenna coil 33, and does not permit communication when the magnet 50 is in the non-proximity state with the antenna coil 23. Can be selected.

The absolute magnetic permeability can be obtained by the product of the relative magnetic permeability and the vacuum magnetic permeability (4π × 10 ⁻⁷ H / m).

As a material of the antenna coil 23 of Example 1, a wire-shaped Fe ₇₉ B ₁₆ Si ₅ having a diameter of 90 μm wound in a coil shape was prepared, and a magnet was brought close thereto.

In the proximity state in which the magnets were brought close to each other (indicated as having a magnet in Table 1), the impedance component Z for the alternating current having a frequency of 13.54 MHz was 3.16Ω. The rate of change was 20% in the non-proximity state (indicated as “no magnet” in Table 1) and in the close state in which the magnets were brought close (indicated in Table 1 as having magnets).

As a material of the antenna coil 23 of Example 2, a wire-like Fe ₆₇ Co ₁₈ B ₁₄ Si ₁ having a diameter of 90 μm wound in a coil shape was prepared, and a magnet was brought close thereto. In a non-proximity state (noted as “no magnet” in Table 1) before bringing the magnet close, the impedance component Z for AC at 13.54 MHz was 3.46Ω. In the proximity state in which the magnets were brought close to each other (indicated as having a magnet in Table 1), the impedance component Z with respect to the alternating current having a frequency of 13.54 MHz was 2.88Ω. The rate of change was 17% in the non-proximity state (indicated as “no magnet” in Table 1) and the close state in which the magnets were brought close (indicated in Table 1 as having magnets).

As a material of the antenna coil 23 of Example 3, a wire-like Fe ₂₂ Ni ₇₈ having a diameter of 90 μm wound in a coil shape was prepared, and a magnet was brought close thereto.
