When a constituent element such as a published patent publication is cited and explained as it is, the reference numeral is attached with parentheses to distinguish it from that of the embodiment.

(First embodiment)
First, an example of a container with an IC tag used in the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 1 is an example of a container used in the first embodiment, and a box-shaped container A with an inner bag used in a stencil printing apparatus as an example of office equipment (hereinafter also referred to as “back-in carton A”). And is used as a container for consumables such as ink that is detachably loaded and set in the main body of the stencil printing apparatus.
The back-in carton A has an opening for projecting the pouring inlet portion 4b, and is a box 1 (hereinafter referred to as “carton 1”) loaded in a stencil printing apparatus main body (see pack holder 6 in FIG. 3 and the like) as an office equipment main body. And a flexible plastic inner bag 2 (hereinafter also referred to as “back 2”) that is connected / inserted into the spout 4 and accommodates liquid therein, and has a spout inlet portion 4b. It has a structure in which it protrudes from the opening to the outside of the carton 1 and the back 2 is accommodated inside the carton 1, that is, a back-in carton.
The carton 1 is made of paper, for example. The outlet portion 4b is made of plastic with high hardness, and is crimped and crimped with the flange 4a fitted to the outlet receiving portion 6a formed on the pack holder 6 shown in FIG. A crimp flange 4c, a cap 5 made of plastic that can transmit radio waves, and a screw portion 4d that can be attached and detached via a screw are integrally molded.
Inside the bag 2 is filled and filled with ink that is used and consumed in the stencil printing machine as a liquid 3 containing water and having a relatively high viscosity and a predetermined yield value. As the ink, for example, a W / O type (water-in-oil type) emulsion ink, which has been used for the purpose of obtaining printed images with high image quality in recent years, is used.

The back-in carton A is such that the ink does not reach the inside of the back 2 through the spout 4 on the manufacturing line at the manufacturer (the ink indicated by the broken line on the left side of the back 2 shown in FIG. 1). 5), and after the cap 5 is closed, it is handled in a position state in which the pouring inlet portion 4b is substantially vertically upward Z in a loaded state such as during storage and transportation. Here, the package state of the container such as the back-in carton A means that the package state at the time of handling by the user is included (the same applies to the second and third embodiments described later).
The position of the back-in carton A shown in FIG. 1 is changed from a vertically loaded state (not shown) in which the pouring inlet portion 4b is substantially vertically upward Z as shown in FIG. The back-in carton A is in the position of lying down and lying down in the substantially horizontal direction X in order to load and set in the holder 6. From this point of view, the ink, which is the liquid 3 of the present embodiment, is used as shown in FIG. 1 and the like from a vertically placed position in which the pouring inlet portion 4b is substantially vertically upward Z when the back in carton A is in a packaged state. Even if Incarton A is overlaid and laid down and placed in the horizontal position, it has a yield value that does not move to the pouring inlet portion 4b due to dispersion, emulsification, and thickening of the ink.

A radio frequency IC tag 9 capable of wireless communication, which is a non-contact type tag, is attached to a spout entrance portion 4b in the vicinity of the spout 4 of the back-in carton A. The IC tag 9 includes an antenna, an encoder / multifunction machine, a control unit, a memory, and the like, and has a well-known passive configuration without a battery. In FIG. 2, an example of the attachment position of the IC tag 9 to the pouring inlet portion 4b is shown. The IC tag 9 may be attached in a visible state, or may be attached so as to be visually hidden.
If the IC tag 9 to be attached is not collected / recycled by the manufacturer, the IC tag 9 may be used illegally, so it is possible to read only the information data that has been written and recorded in advance. Or re-recording) is not possible.
As a method for attaching the IC tag 9, there are methods such as injecting and enclosing the IC tag 9 simultaneously at the time of injection molding, or attaching the IC tag 9 as an in-mold label if it is a blow molded product, or attaching a label.

  The IC tag 9 includes information such as the product number of the liquid (ink) 3 filled and stored in the back-in carton A, the product name, physical properties including the ink color, ID information such as the manufacturing lot, the manufacturing date, etc.・ Safety information such as Eco Mark, Soi Mark, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) of containers is recorded. Also on the back-in carton A, the liquid 3 product number, product name, physical properties including ink color, ID information such as manufacturing lot, date of manufacture, etc., safety of contents / container Eco Mark, Soy Mark, MSDS, etc. Words / displays related to information may be displayed by printing or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back-in carton A as a container is provided with a cap 5 as a detachable cover member at the outlet portion 4 b as a packaged state during transportation and storage. The IC tag 9 is attached / provided to the spout 4 of the spout entrance 4b covered by the cap 5. When the stencil printing apparatus is loaded and used, the cap 5 is removed as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the back-in carton A is placed and loaded on a pack holder 6 of a consumable supply unit for supplying consumables such as ink provided at a fixed position of the stencil printing apparatus. Mounted on the stencil printing machine body. The pack holder 6 is configured to be detachable from the stencil printing apparatus main body. An example of the configuration of the corresponding part on the stencil printing apparatus side is the same as that disclosed in FIGS. 8 and 9 of JP-A-2001-315305, for example.

Recorded in the IC tag 9 of the back in carton A when the back in carton A is attached to the mounting part of the pack holder 6 or at a predetermined reading timing such as when starting the stencil printing apparatus as office equipment. The reader 11 is provided as a reading means for reading the input information. The reader 11 includes a transmitter (not shown) that transmits radio waves via the reader antenna 10, a receiver (not shown) that receives signals encoded from the antenna of the IC tag 9 via the reader antenna 10, A control unit (not shown) or the like that decodes and decodes the encoded signal received via this receiver and transfers data to the control device 12 disposed on the stencil printing apparatus main body side as office equipment It has.
In the present embodiment, the radio wave transmitted from the transmitter of the reader 11 via the reader antenna 10 uses the 2.45 GHz microwave band that is used and permitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reader antenna 10 constituting the reader 11 is configured such that the back-in carton A is loaded into the pack holder 6 and then the IC of the outlet portion 4b of the back-in carton A when the back-in carton A is mounted on the main body. It is installed adjacent to the tag 9 attachment location. More specifically, in this embodiment, the reader antenna 10 is disposed at a relatively short distance of several tens of centimeters from the loading / installation position of the IC tag 9.
In addition to the IC tag 9 and the reader 11, a mounting detection unit that detects that the back-in carton A is loaded and mounted in the pack holder 6 of the stencil printing apparatus main body may be separately provided.
The work of writing and recording on the IC tag 9 is performed by manufacturing a product, packaging a manufactured product, selling a product, or manufacturing a back-in carton as a container body, or manufacturing a back-in Any manufacturer who attaches the IC tag 9 to the carton container body can use a writer as a manual writing device.
As shown in FIG. 3, the reader 11 reads the information of the IC tag 9 of the back-in carton A, thereby recognizing that the spout 4 of the back-in carton A is mounted at an appropriate position of the stencil printing apparatus main body. . Specifically, the manner in which the spout 4 of the back-in carton A is attached to the proper position of the stencil printing apparatus main body is such that a substantially U-shaped fitting portion formed on the pack holder 6 is connected to the spout 4. When the formed flange 4a is securely engaged / fitted, the pack holder 6 is pushed into the stencil printing machine main body and connected to an ink pump 8 provided on the stencil printing machine main body. This is done by securely fitting and connecting the spout 4 to the mouth 7.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the case of a back-in carton A container, when the contents are heavy, such as liquids such as ink, or when the external environment is humid and the strength of the carton is reduced, the vibration is long during transportation. When the conditions such as the case of continuous time overlap, the pack body and the vicinity of the spout 4 where the load of the ink weight that is the liquid filled in the back-in carton A is applied are deformed, and the spout 4b is inclined and deformed, When the pack holder 6 is loaded / mounted, the ink pump port 7 may not be properly fitted.

The encoded data of the IC tag 9 is read by the reader 11 in FIG. 3 and includes a control device 12 (a microcomputer equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc.) mounted on the stencil printing apparatus main body. The recorded information is visually displayed and output on the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 provided on the operation panel 13 as an operation unit connected to the control device 12. It has become so.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the back-in carton A as a container with an IC tag used in the stencil printing apparatus main body and the stencil printing apparatus (pack holder 6, ink pump as office equipment) are used. 8, a reader antenna 10, a reader 11, a control device 12, a liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13, etc.) constitute a stencil printing apparatus system as an office equipment system.
Here, the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13 functions as notifying means or displaying means for notifying or displaying data (information) read by the reader 11. The notifying means or the displaying means is not limited to the liquid crystal display unit 14, and includes a means for notifying with a CRT display or sound, or using a buzzer sounding for warning notification.
The control device 12 includes, for example, program software that can verify and discriminate the proper main body model with respect to the ID information of the ink product name or the ink product number, and causes the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13 to notify and display. It also has functions such as a control function and driving of an ink replenishing motor for driving the ink pump 7 on the stencil printing machine side and driving control of a main motor as driving means for rotating a printing drum. The control apparatus 12 is not limited to this, For example, computer means, such as a microprocessor, a controller, a sequencer, etc., or computers, such as a personal computer, may be sufficient.

The control device 12 compares the proper ink product model, which is ID data (information), with the main body model that is actually used, and if it does not match, the ink product is sent to the stencil printing device (office equipment). On the other hand, for example, a warning such as “Not a proper ink product” may be displayed as a message on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 or the operation of the stencil printing apparatus main body may be stopped.
If the ink product loaded and attached to the stencil printing machine body is confirmed to be an appropriate product, the liquid crystal display unit 14 displays the safety information such as the eco-mark of the contents / container and the MSDS such as the soy mark as necessary. Is displayed on the output display screen.

Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, an example of an operation order regarding detection information / warning information regarding the back-in carton A in the stencil printing apparatus system including the back-in carton A and the stencil printing apparatus will be described.
First, in step S1, when the back-in carton A, which is an ink product, is loaded into the pack holder 6 of the stencil printing apparatus, and the spout 4 of the back-in carton A and the ink pump port 7 are connected and fitted, the reader 11 By reading the recording information on the ink product recorded on the IC tag 9 attached to the pouring inlet portion 4b of the back-in carton A through the reader antenna 10, the pouring port 4 of the back-in carton A becomes the stencil printing apparatus. Recognize that it is mounted at a predetermined position (appropriate position) of the main body.
At this time, detailed operations in the IC tag 9, the reader antenna 10, the reader 11 and the control device 12 shown in FIG. 3 are as follows. That is, first, the reader 11 transmits radio waves of the above microwave band frequency toward the IC tag 9 attached to the outlet / inlet portion 4b of the back-in carton A through the reader antenna 10. In the present embodiment, a radio wave system capable of transmitting and receiving even with a distance of several meters is adopted by a combination of an IC tag and a reader, but the reader antenna 10 is several tens of centimeters from the installation position of the IC tag 9 as in this example. This arrangement / configuration for transmitting and receiving at a relatively short distance contributes to power saving and miniaturization of the reader 11.
On the IC tag 9 side, an electromagnetic wave is generated from the reader 11 and an electromotive force is generated in the IC tag 9 by a resonance action. The IC chip is activated by the electromotive force, and information stored in the memory of the IC chip is stored. The encoded signal is transmitted from the antenna of the IC tag 9 toward the reader antenna 10. The reader antenna 10 of the reader 11 receives the encoded signal transmitted from the antenna of the IC tag 9, and the reader 11 decodes and decodes the encoded signal transmitted from the IC tag 9. Data will be transferred to.

On the other hand, in step S1, when the back-in carton A is swollen as shown in FIG. 4 and is not securely connected and fitted to the ink pump port 7 due to the deformation of the spout 4 or the like, The reader 11 recognizes that the recording information relating to the ink product recorded on the tag 9 has become unreadable. In response to the unreadable signal transferred from the reader 11, the control device 12 stops the driving of the ink pump 8 and the ink supply operation of the stencil printing device, and is appropriately installed in addition to the reader 11. Considering together with the signal from the pack loading detection means, a warning such as “pack outlet is not set properly” is displayed on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13. .
Next, the control device 12 compares the information (read data) of the back-in carton A read by the above operation with the appropriate ink product information (reference data) (steps S3 to S4).
The program software stored in advance in the control device 12 compares the ID information (read data) of the back-in carton A with the appropriate model information to determine whether the information matches or does not match. Since the ink product of the carton A is not appropriate for the stencil printing apparatus main body, the process proceeds to step S5, and the control device 12 displays a warning on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13 of the stencil printing apparatus, or Stop the operation of the stencil printing machine. Examples of warning indications indicating that the ink product is not appropriate on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 include “Not an appropriate ink product”, “Replace with an appropriate ink product”, and the like. By visually recognizing this warning display, the user does not use an inappropriate ink product. If they match, the process proceeds to step S6.
In step S 6, the safety information of the ink product of the loaded back-in carton A is displayed on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14.
Next, the ink product ID is destroyed or erased by an erasing device (not shown) serving as an erasing means for erasing or destroying the read data (information) provided in the stencil printing apparatus, so that the back as a container is obtained. After erasing the input data relating to Inkerton A or the contents (ink), the use of the ink product is continued as usual.

As described above, when the IC tag is conventionally read and written by the radio wave method, when the filling / contents of the container is a liquid containing an aqueous solution or moisture, the IC tag is filled depending on the mounting location of the IC tag. The liquid could easily be absorbed by an aqueous solution or a liquid containing water, so that the information on the IC tag could not be read or the reading sensitivity was lowered, so that it could not be used.
However, according to the present embodiment, the back-in carton A is mounted to be loaded and set in the pack holder 6 as shown in FIG. The back spout 4 of the back-in carton A containing the liquid 3 (ink) having a relatively high viscosity and a predetermined yield value, in which the ink does not move to the spout entrance 4b even when lying down or lying down in the horizontal direction X, Since the radio frequency IC tag 9 is attached to the pouring inlet portion 4b in the vicinity, the radio wave is absorbed even when the filling / contents of the container is the liquid 3 (ink) containing an aqueous solution or moisture. Therefore, the reading sensitivity / accuracy of the data (information) of the IC tag 9 is remarkably improved and can be written with high accuracy.
In addition, if the IC tag is attached to the body of the container, the function of the IC tag may be impaired due to rubbing / collision from container to container, production line, or outer box during production, storage, or transportation. is there.
However, according to the present embodiment, since the radio frequency IC tag 9 is attached to the spout entrance portion 4b in the vicinity of the spout 4 of the back-in carton A covered with the cap 5, the cap 5 can be used for manufacturing and storage. -It is possible to prevent the IC tag from being disabled or deteriorated due to rubbing / collision between containers, production line or outer box during transportation.

  Conventionally, a back-in carton may be used as a container for storing a liquid 3 (ink) containing an aqueous solution or moisture. If the contents of the back-in carton are heavy, the humidity of the external environment is high and the strength of the carton (outer box) decreases, or if the vibration continues for a long time during transportation, the carton will bulge And the spout portion is also inclined, and when the stencil printing apparatus main body as the office equipment main body is loaded, there is a problem that the ink pump opening does not fit properly. Currently, the office equipment body only detects whether the equipment should be installed on the container body and whether there are consumables in the container, and recognizes the details of the contents of the back-in carton to be used. In many cases, if the same shape of ink container is used in different main body models, the user must select the correct ink type by looking at the display on the ink container main body, sometimes confusing or different Misuse that uses ink products that should be used in the model has also occurred.

  However, according to this embodiment, the IC tag 9 is attached to the outlet 4b of the back-in carton 1 (box-type container 1 with an inner bag), so that the back-in carton 1 can be used as a main body of office equipment in the market. When the stencil printing apparatus main body is mounted, if the spout 4 portion is also inclined due to deformation of the carton 1 and does not fit into the ink pump port 7, the IC tag 9 and the reader antenna 10 of the reader 11 in the stencil printing apparatus main body. Since the position of the IC tag 9 is also shifted, the fact that the recorded data of the IC tag 9 cannot be read by the reader 11 can be used to connect and fit the spout 4 of the back-in carton 1 and the ink pump port 7 of the stencil printing machine body. A defect can be detected and displayed, or the operation of the main body of the stencil printing apparatus can be stopped.

Conventionally, the office equipment main body only detects whether or not the equipment should be used on the main body of the container and the presence or absence of consumables in the container. Details and details of the contents of the back-in carton to be used are as follows: In many cases, when the same shape of ink container is used with different main body models, it is necessary to look at the display on the ink container main body and the user must select the correct ink type himself. Misuse has occurred using ink products that should be used in different models. In the market, misuse of color inks different from the user's intention and use of ink whose expiration date has passed have been reported. Furthermore, in the office equipment industry, the safety of inks and other supplies is very important. From the preparation and provision of MSDS, soy ink and the acquisition and display of the Eco Mark. For the Eco Mark in particular, there is an industry that establishes safety standards including supplies and acquires and displays the Eco Mark as an office equipment system. In many cases, so-called pirated inks, etc., have little compliance with safety standards and disclosure of safety information, which is a great loss for users.
In addition, if the recorded data in the IC tag remains after using the ink, the IC tag may be illegally used or the ink container may be refilled with pirated ink and illegally reused. .

However, according to the present embodiment, the IC tag 9 has the product number, product name, physical properties including the ink color tone, the production lot, the production date of the liquid (ink) 3 filled and stored in the back-in carton A as information. When the back-in carton A is loaded into the stencil printing apparatus main body and the spout 4 is set at an appropriate position of the pack holder 6, the recording data relating to the ID information such as Is read by the reader 11 via the reader antenna 10 on the side, and the recorded data is transferred / input to the control device 12, and on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13 connected to the control device 12, Information recorded on the IC tag 9 can be displayed visually. The control device 12 discriminates the application model of the stencil printing body from the ink ID information such as the product number and product name from the IC tag 9 and displays it on the liquid crystal display unit 14 when the ink is an inappropriate type. The operation of the stencil printing apparatus main body can also be stopped. Further, the warranty expiration date can be displayed from the manufacturing lot and the manufacturing date, or when the ink has passed the warranty expiration date, a warning or the operation of the main body of the stencil printing apparatus can be stopped. In addition, safety information such as Eco Mark, Soy Mark, MSDS, etc. of contents / containers can be displayed on the output display screen via the control device 12 from the IC tag, preventing the user from using inappropriate ink types, In addition, safety information can be recognized more visually.
Since the information recorded on the IC tag can be destroyed or erased by the erasing device of the stencil printing apparatus main body after being displayed on the output display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 14, the IC tag 9 can be used improperly. It is possible to reliably prevent the pirated ink from being illegally refilled as an ink container including the back-in carton A.

(Second Embodiment)
Compared with the first embodiment, the second embodiment has a relatively high viscosity and a predetermined yield, in which the ink does not move to the spout inlet portion 4b even if the back-in carton A is lying down or lying down substantially in the horizontal direction X. Instead of back-in carton A containing liquid 3 (ink) having a value, liquid 3 (ink) does not have to have a relatively high viscosity and a predetermined yield value. Then, the liquid holder 3 is accommodated to the extent that it does not reach the pouring inlet portion 4b during manufacturing, and the pack holder 6 is in a state in which the pouring inlet portion 4b is substantially vertically upward Z in the packing state related to shipping, transportation, storage, and the like. The point of using the back-in carton A as a container to be handled before setting to the point, the wireless communication distance of the radio wave emitted from the reader 11 is a few meters longer than the first embodiment, Before setting the pack-in carton A in the pack holder 6, the pouring entrance portion 4 b is placed on the pack holder 6 in a substantially vertical upward direction Z, and the IC tag 9 of the back-in carton A of this embodiment is read by the reader 11. The main difference is that the recorded data is read.
The configuration other than the above differences, that is, the point of attaching the radio frequency type IC tag 9 to the dispensing entrance portion 4b, and the stencil printing apparatus system configuration are the same as in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, before setting the back-in carton A to the pack holder 6, it is preferable to thoroughly perform the operations and work contents by the user as follows. That is, for example, referring to FIG. 3, the liquid crystal display unit 14 of the operation panel 13 displays “the back in carton A in the packed state before the back in carton A is set in the pack holder 6. "Be sure to place it on top." Before placing the back-in carton A into the pack holder 6, be sure to place it once in the vertical position with the pouring inlet portion 4b substantially vertically upward Z. Please put in carton A on the pack holder 6 ", or display the contents of placing / setting operation of the back in carton A on the pack holder 6 in sequence, or back in carton. You may make it thorough operation content by sticking the display label of the said content to the mounting part to the pack holder 6 of A.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, the power saving and downsizing of the reader 11 as in the first embodiment cannot be achieved, and there is also a means for detecting the attachment of the back-in carton A to the pack holder 6. Although it is not possible, it is possible to store the liquid 3 (ink) having a viscosity that can easily flow by simply ensuring the handling management of the packing state until the back-in carton A is set in the pack holder 6. The same effects as those of the embodiment are obtained.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment. Compared with the first embodiment, the third embodiment has a relatively high viscosity and a predetermined yield, in which the ink does not move to the spout inlet portion 4b even when the back-in carton A is lying down or lying down substantially in the horizontal direction X. Instead of the back-in carton A containing the liquid 3 (ink) having a value, the liquid 3 containing the low-viscosity water that is easy to flow and the liquid 3 (ink) that easily separates the components are the outlet portion. Wireless communication of radio waves emitted from the reader 11 and the point of using the back-in carton A formed on the back side (liquid 3 side) near the pouring inlet portion 4b, and the thin film 15 made of plastic film that prevents outflow from 4b At a point where the distance is slightly longer than that of the first embodiment, when the back-in carton A of this embodiment is loaded into the pack holder 6, the recorded data of the IC tag 9 is read by the reader 11. Point taken is mainly differs. The configuration other than the above differences, that is, the point of attaching the radio frequency type IC tag 9 to the dispensing entrance portion 4b, and the stencil printing apparatus system configuration are the same as in the first embodiment.

The IC tag 9 of this embodiment is attached to the outlet 4b on the left side of the thin film 15 formation portion, that is, the outlet 4 that does not flow as long as the liquid 3 stored in the bag 2 is sealed with the thin film 15. It has been.
The thin film 15 is inserted into the spout 4 of the back-in carton A when the front end of the ink pump port 7 is inserted into the spout 4 of the back-in carton A when the pack holder 6 is pushed into the front end of the ink pump port 7 by the pushing force of the user. It is preferable that the thickness and shape be such that the damaged thin film 15 is surely damaged and the remaining piece of the damaged thin film 15 is sucked into the ink pump port 7 and does not adversely affect the ink pump 8. For example, a concave lens shape as shown in FIG. 7 is preferable. As a method of forming the thin film 15, for example, a pull type integrally formed in various containers and a spout for a sake pack, or when the cap is removed by unscrewing or when a mating base is connected, it is easily broken A known thin film forming method may be used.

In the back-in carton A of the present embodiment, since the thin film 15 is formed on the back side (liquid 3 side) in the vicinity of the pouring inlet portion 4b, the liquid 3 (ink) can be used without special management of the packing state. Does not enter the extraction entrance portion 4b to which the radio frequency IC tag 9 is attached.
When the spout 4 of the back-in carton A and the ink pump port 7 are connected and fitted, the plastic film thin film 15 is broken at the tip of the metal ink pump port 7, so that the liquid 3 (ink) Is allowed to flow into the spout inlet portion 4b and the spout port 4, and is then sucked and pumped from the spout port 4 to the ink pump port 7 by the suction and pumping action by the external force of the ink pump 8.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, the power saving and downsizing of the reader 11 as in the first embodiment cannot be achieved, and there is also a means for detecting the attachment of the back-in carton A to the pack holder 6. Although it is impossible, the plastic film thin film 15 is easily formed on the back side (liquid 3 side) in the vicinity of the pouring inlet portion 4b, and without the package management as in the second embodiment. The liquid 3 (ink) having a flowable viscosity is also accommodated, and the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.
