Method for producing hoselines and pipelines with RFID chips
A method for producing hoselines having at least the following working steps: a) providing a hoseline or pipeline blank ( 1, 2, 3 ) of at least one elastomeric and/or thermoplastic base material in a production device, while reinforcing elements may be embedded in the base material; and b) introducing an RFID structure ( 4, 4 A, 4 B, 4 C) into the outer layer ( 3 ) of the hoseline or pipeline blank ( 1 ) in the axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hoseline or pipeline blank ( 1 ) and synchronously with the feed rate of the production device, the RFID structure having at least one carrier ( 4 A) and the RFID structure ( 4, 4 A, 4 B, 4 C) having RFID chips ( 4 B) securely arranged on the carrier ( 4 A) at predetermined spaced intervals.
1. A method for producing hoselines with RFID chips, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
a) providing a hoseline blank of at least one elastomeric and/or thermoplastic base material in a production device, while reinforcing elements may be embedded in the base material; and,
b) attaching an RFID structure on the hoseline blank in an axial direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hoseline blank and synchronously with a feed rate of the production device;
wherein the RFID structure has at least one carrier; and,
wherein the RFID structure comprises RFID chips securely arranged on the carrier at predetermined spaced intervals.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RFID chips have in each case at least one antenna, which are respectively connected in an electrically conducting manner to the RFID chips at the front and/or rear in a longitudinal direction of the RFID structure.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises one or more yarns.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the antennas are twisted with the carrier.
5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the carrier is formed in an electrically conducting manner.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the antennas of the RFID chips are formed by the carrier.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RFID chips are protected by a protective enclosure.
8. The method according to claim 1 further comprising:
c) applying a further layer to the hoseline blank in such a way that the RFID structure is covered by the further layer.
9. The method according to claim 1 further comprising extruding an outer layer onto the hose blank structure.
10. The method according to claim 1 further comprising a final vulcanization step, after which the RFID structure is securely embedded in the wall of the then finished hoseline.
11. A method for producing pipelines with RFID chips, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
a) providing a pipeline blank of at least one elastomeric and/or thermoplastic base material in a production device, while reinforcing elements may be embedded in the base material; and,
b) attaching an RFID structure on the pipeline blank in an axial direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the pipeline blank and synchronously with a feed rate of the production device;
wherein the RFID structure has at least one carrier; and,
wherein the RFID structure comprises RFID chips securely arranged on the carrier at predetermined spaced intervals.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the RFID chips have in each case at least one antenna, which are respectively connected in an electrically conducting manner to the RFID chips at the front and/or rear in a longitudinal direction of the RFID structure.
