Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealed system, or to be used as a seal, for marking objects to be identified over time.
  • Seals of this type are used for example to control the routing and / or storage of products or materials.
  • An application concerns in particular nuclear materials, which require a follow-up in security and / or important controls.
  • seal There is a model of seal, called “sealed type E”, or type “Copper-Brass”, which is used in large numbers (of the order of 20 000 pieces per year) by the General Directorate XVII of Energy ( Euratom Safeguards) of Luxembourg and also by the International Atomic Energy Agency of Vienna (IAEA).
  • This commercial seal is simple and inexpensive. It is composed of two capsules, one in copper and the other in brass.
  • Figures 1A and 1B show the copper part 2 in external view (Figure 1A) and internal ( Figure 1B).
  • Figures 2A and 2B show the brass part 4 in external view ( Figure 2A) and internal ( Figure 2B).
  • the identity of this seal is obtained by means of a drop of tin 6 placed inside the capsules, then randomly scratched in order to obtain a single drawing.
  • One of the capsules, which is snapped on the other, in order to close the seal during its use contains 2 orifices 10, 12 making it possible to pass the two ends of a metallic wire, or non-metallic, multi-stranded or not , which will link together the elements that will have to be sealed. For example, in the case of the condemnation of a door or a cabinet, this wire goes into handles. The two ends of the wire are then tied together, inside the brass cap 4, and the seal is closed.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B view on the brass side.
  • the seal is used, and its identity is controlled, as follows.
  • the identity of the two capsules is photographed and stored numerically in a database. It is an archiving step. An identification number, engraved on the capsule containing the identity, is also archived as the number of the seal, correlated with the two identities.
  • the identification number is correlated with data such as: date of installation, place ...
  • Such a seal is of low cost, and its implementation is simple. However, its control presents a certain difficulty, as well as a high cost.
  • the cost of such a seal, including the control of its identity, is of the order of 140 Euros.
  • the identification technique is also not very easy: it is necessary in particular to photograph the identities and correlate them to the external number of the seal. All these long operations require manipulations that can be sources of errors.
  • the document EP 0 825 554 A1 describes an electronic seal intended to be fixed on an object to be sealed.
  • the seal includes an electrical circuit that is broken when the seal is broken.
  • a seal comprising two capsules that can snap into each other and having attachment means for housing an electronic component in its interior is described in the international patent application WO 97/38193 .
  • the document US5,008,661 describes an electronic remote identification and searchable system for chemicals transported by truck, train or other means of transport.
  • the system comprises a transponder carrying information relating to the chemical substance, fixed on the means of transport, and a reader able to remotely read the information contained in the transponder.
  • the invention aims to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the invention is defined in the claims and in particular in the independent claims 1, 18 and 22.
  • the invention seeks to solve these problems by proposing a seal, for connecting together elements to be sealed, comprising a first and second capsules to be sealed, as well as electronic means, to be disposed in at least one of the capsules, being able to contain a seal identification and remotely searchable.
  • Closing means make it possible to close the two capsules together.
  • the closure means comprise at least one male part situated at the periphery of one of the two capsules, and at least one female part located on the periphery of the other capsule, these two parts being adapted to snap into each other
  • means make it possible to control whether the seal has been opened, or not, after closure.
  • These means are preferably means of irreversible closure, or single use; their opening is impossible without destroying them or damaging them or marking them, at least partially.
  • the seal can not be opened without destruction or without damage or marking, at least partially, closure means.
  • the capsules are provided with mechanical indicators of rupture or deformation.
  • the identities in tin, which are in the capsules, are replaced by electronic identities, or "codes", also placed inside the capsules.
  • the identity of the seal can be read by active reading means.
  • the electronic means are preferably passive, thus requiring no power device or battery, which reduces the size in the capsule where it is installed.
  • the electronic means may be of the passive electronic transponder type, containing a digital code.
  • plastic capsules improves efficiency and reading distance.
  • a material having plastic deformation characteristics is used. Indeed, an attempt to open a seal made of such a material is most often translated by the deformation of one part or another of the seal, including its closure means. Such a deformation is easily visible on a material with plastic deformation, leaving at least one mark.
  • a particularly suitable material is based on ABS, at least 25%.
  • the information data can then be stored and / or transferred to a computer for storage and / or analysis.
  • Figures 4A-4C and 5A-5D show various views of two capsules 20, 30 of a seal according to the invention.
  • the two capsules 20, 30 are of approximately cylindrical shape and include means for closing the seal during use. They are for example designed to fit with each other or to snap one on the other, and are then provided with a system, or means, snap or interlocking , or means for clipping together (closure clipping).
  • the assembly In the closed position, the assembly is also sealed, and can not be opened without there being destruction or deformation or marking, at least partially, of the seal.
  • Each capsule may have a location 24, 34 to introduce an electronic identification device 23, 33.
  • a seal according to the invention may also operate with a single electronic identification device, in which case a single location is provided to mount a such a device, in only one of the two capsules.

During a subsequent interrogation of the transponder, the malfunction of the device will be immediately noted.
  • Such a transponder is for example described in the document EP480530 .
