Fluid property sensing system using rfid technology
The patent US12060953B2 describes a system and method for sensing physical properties of a fluid within a composite hose. The composite hose features a cylindrical wall with an inner passage for fluid and an outer surface covered by at least one additional layer of composite material. Central to the system is a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader that transmits radio frequency signals to an RFID tag located on the outer surface of the hose. This RFID tag, positioned beneath the second layer, converts the received radio frequency signals into electrical energy, which powers an integrated sensor. The sensor collects measurement data regarding various physical properties of the fluid, such as temperature, pressure, and the integrity of the hose wall, and transmits this data back to the RFID tag, which then relays it to the RFID reader.
The claims further detail the system's components, including the potential use of antennas connected to the RFID tag and the option for different radio frequency types, such as ultra-high frequency (UHF) or high frequency (HF). The RFID tag can also store identification data, which is transmitted alongside the measurement data. The method outlined in the patent involves a series of steps for installing the RFID tag and sensor, transmitting signals, and processing the measurement data. The system is designed to enhance the monitoring of fluid properties in composite hoses, providing a robust solution for applications requiring real-time data on fluid conditions.
