Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of climbing holds for the practice of climbing in leisure or in competition, for example for holds used in speed events. More specifically, the present invention is concerned with a climbing hold comprising a radio-identification element, its manufacturing process as well as an identification system associated therewith.
- the present invention finds a particularly advantageous application for ensuring the traceability of a climbing hold for the purposes of quality control, identification of a history of use, compliance of the holds with the standards in force and in the context of an anti-counterfeiting procedure.
- the present invention also finds an application in the context of tracking a climber.
- the RFID radio-identification technology plays a major role in the traceability of products of all kinds. To do this, this technology uses radio-identification elements comprising an electronic chip and an antenna.
- the electronic chip incorporates a product identification number and the antenna is connected to the electronic chip so as to power the electronic chip when a magnetic field is picked up by the antenna.
- a database and a reader are used.
- the reader comprises an antenna making it possible to perform a coupling with the antenna of the radio-identification element and to supply the chip with electricity.
- the electrical energy supplied to the chip is sufficient to allow the RFID element to transmit the product identification number to the reader.
- This identification number is looked up in the database to obtain information about the product.
- These radio-identification elements are conventionally in the form of rectangular self-adhesive labels.
- a protective layer covers the chip and the antenna to prevent degradation of the antenna or the chip during manual contact.
- the protective layer conventionally corresponds to a polymeric film with a thickness of less than 5 mm.
- the protective layer can be more solid and be selected from the group of thermoplastics of the polyolefin type (polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polychloride of vinyl (PVC)), polyamides filled with glass fibers (PA-GF) or polyesters.
- PE polyethylene
- PP polypropylene
- PVC polychloride of vinyl
- PA-GF polyamides filled with glass fibers
- polyesters are suitable for use at standard temperatures during the operation or storage of RFID elements, that is, in the range of -25 ° C to 60 ° C, respectively. In addition, these materials must limit the impact of the protective layer on the desired electromagnetic coupling.
- the climbing holds can be covered with a radio-identification element glued to a gripping face of the climbing hold.
- this radio-identification element can be damaged during the competition or during the storage of the climbing hold so that the current climbing holds are difficult to re-use from one competition to another because the element RFID may no longer be readable due to deterioration.
- the technical problem which the invention proposes to solve is to improve the service life of the means for identifying a climbing hold for a wide variety of applications and types of holds.
- the manufacture of climbing holds involves casting a resin, for example of the unsaturated polyester or polyurethane type, in a mold.
- a catalyst is added in the preparation in order to initiate the phase transition of the polymeric resin, from an initial liquid state to a final solid state with the phenomenon of polymerization.
- the protective layers of conventional RFID elements are not strong enough to withstand the exothermic solidification reaction of the climbing hold.
- the polymeric nature of the body of the climbing hold could lead to a modification of these protective layers as they are also polymeric and there would be a risk of copolymerization between these different polymers. It follows that this deterioration of the protective layers could lead to deterioration of the antenna or the chip.
- the invention results from a discovery according to which a protective layer of polysulfide of phenylene, also known by the acronym PPS for “polyphenylene sulfide” in the English literature, with a minimum thickness of 0.5 mm makes it possible to resist the exothermic polymerization reaction of a climbing hold.
- PPS polyphenylene sulfide
- the invention proposes to integrate a radio-identification element in a climbing hold with a protective layer of polyphenylene sulphide having a minimum thickness of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm so as to give this element adequate protection. facing the rise in temperature resulting from the polymerization reaction of the resin constituting the climbing hold and so as to limit the size of the radio-identification element to reduce the risk of delamination that may take place between this element and the polymeric matrix constituting the climbing hold.
- the invention relates to a climbing hold, having a polymeric body, associated with a radio-identification element comprising an electronic chip incorporating an identification number of said climbing hold, a antenna configured to power said electronic chip by electromagnetic coupling so as to transmit said identification number to an external reading device, and a protective layer covering said electronic chip and said antenna.
- the invention is characterized in that said radio-identification element is integrated into said polymeric body of said climbing hold, said protective layer being made of polyphenylene sulphide with a minimum thickness of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm.
- the invention thus makes it possible to identify a climbing socket by means of a radio-identification element with a longer lifespan because it is integrated into the socket.
- the minimum thickness is defined as being the smallest material thickness of the protective layer covering the chip or the antenna on the upper faces, the lower faces and the lateral edges of the chip or of the 'antenna.
- the minimum thickness between said chip and an external face of said radio-identification element is preferably greater than 1 mm.
- the minimum thickness of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm limits the risk of damaging the climbing hold or the RFID element.
- a minimum thickness less than 0.5 mm would cause degradation problems linked to exposure to extremely high temperatures of the radio-identification element during the polymerization reaction and a minimum thickness greater than 2 mm could cause problems of inserting the RFID element into the climbing hold and increased risk of cracking of the climbing hold.
- the risk of cracking can also be reduced through the use of an RFID element having upper and lower faces and at least one side edge connecting said upper and lower faces at a rounded angle.
- This rounded angle eliminates sharp edges and thus reduces the coefficient of concentration of structural stresses and limits the appearance and propagation of cracks.
- the polymeric matrix constituting the climbing hold can be made from materials generally used in the prior art, in particular a polyester matrix or a polyurethane matrix.
- polyphenylene sulfide lies primarily in its intrinsic properties, in particular high thermal stability due to its semi-crystalline character and the presence of numerous aromatic rings in its macromolecular chain. Thus, it has much more efficient properties compared to a basic material.
- the mechanical strength is related to the compressive strength and the pressure of the polyphenylene sulfide.
- polyphenylene sulfide has a Young's modulus of 2.2 GPa, an axial and radial static compressive strength of 1000 N and 500 N respectively as well as an absorption of 45 bar in terms of pressure.
- polyphenylene sulphide Due to its high melting point, which is approximately equal to 285 ° C., polyphenylene sulphide is also not very inclined to undergo premature degradation which explains, among other things, its excellent fire resistance. Thus, it is able to impart good resistance of the radio-identification element to exposure to high temperatures during the polymerization reaction.
- the electromagnetic permittivity of polysulfide allows the antenna to be coupled with an external reader without too much degradation of the magnetic field through the protective layer. It is even possible to modify the structure of the climbing hold's body by incorporating carbon black while maintaining electromagnetic coupling possibilities with the RFID element integrated into the climbing hold's body.
- said polymeric body may contain between 5% and 35% of carbon powder, preferably between 10% and 35% of carbon powder relative to the total weight of said polymeric body without said radio-identification element.
- This embodiment makes it possible to obtain a climbing socket whose capacitive detection is carried out over a larger area than the existing sockets because the electrical charges can be transmitted in the climbing socket using an antistatic network formed by the powder. of carbon.
- the integration of conductive particles in a climbing hold is particularly counter-intuitive because the conductive particles are conventionally produced by metallic elements in the form of powder or fibers, which is more when the climbing hold contains a radio-identification element.
- the metal fibers integrated into a climbing grip increase the risk of cuts because they appear on the surface and thus degrade the user experience.
- those skilled in the art of climbing holds know that the vast majority of metallic powders have densities too great to be incorporated into a polymer matrix of a climbing hold.
- carbon powder as the conductive element.
- metallic conductive materials silver, copper, gold, aluminum, zinc, nickel, iron, tin, platinum, palladium, lead
- the low density of carbon generally less than 2.1 g / cm 3 , allowed the formation of a homogeneous mixture with the polymeric matrix.
- said radio-identification element is in the form of a pellet having a diameter of between 20 mm and 25 mm. This particularly small dimension of the radio-identification element allows it to be integrated into a large number of climbing holds.
- the lower planar face of the pellet plays a major role during the step of inserting the RFID element into the polymeric resin during polymerization in order to maintain the RFID element in the polymerization. climbing hold body.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a climbing hold according to the first aspect of the invention, said method comprising the following steps:
- the RFID element can be integrated into the body of the climbing hold without reaching the bottom of the mold.
- said step of inserting said radio-identification element to said polymeric body is carried out when said mixture has reached a viscosity greater than a threshold value so that said radio-identification element does not reach a gripping face of said climbing before the solidification of said polymeric body.
- said step of inserting said radio-identification element into said polymeric body is carried out when said mixture has reached a viscosity such that said radio-identification element is integrated into said climbing hold at a distance of at least 0.5 cm from said gripping face and a mounting face.
- the radio-identification element is subjected to forces of gravity, linked to its mass and to the Archimedes principle, exerted on the mixture and to retaining forces linked to viscosity phenomena. and surface tension exerted by the mixture on the underside of the RFID element.
- the process further comprises the following steps carried out before the molding step:
- the invention relates to a system for identifying a climbing hold according to the first aspect of the invention, said system comprising an external reading device comprising an antenna intended to be moved on said climbing hold. escalation to achieve electromagnetic coupling with said antenna of said radio identification element and obtain said identification number integrated in said electronic chip, said identification number being transmitted to a database to allow identification of said climbing hold read by said external reading device.
- the external reading device is in the form of a detection racket worn by an official representative or of a bracelet capable of being attached around the wrist of a climber.
- an official representative of a competition for example a judge or a referee, can verify the conformity of the climbing holds used with those present on a provisional document. by moving the racket on the climbing holds used before or during a competition.
- the external reading device when in the form of a bracelet attached around a climber's wrist, it may also contain a chip incorporating climber identification information.
- the bracelet can transmit to the database the number of the climber as well as the number of the detected hold. It is thus possible to determine which climber is currently climbing which wall.
- This embodiment can further be coupled with the capacitive sensing obtained by carbon black to know both the position and the identity of the climber on the wall.
- this bracelet can also be used for an official representative of a competition as a replacement for the racquet previously described.

- the electronic chip 13 may have a thickness of 0.5 mm and be protected by a thickness el substantially equal to 1.5 mm and a thickness e2 substantially equal to 1 mm so as to obtain a total thickness of the radio element identification 12a of 3 mm.
- the antenna 14a can also have a thickness identical to that of the electronic chip 13 of 0.5 mm and be protected by a thickness e3 of 1.5 mm and a thickness e4 of 1 mm.
- the thickness e5 may be substantially equal to 1 mm to protect the side edges of the antenna 14a.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a variant of a radio-identification element 12b with a substantially parallelepipedal shape.
- the antenna 14b has a rectangular shape and the protective layer 15b is fitted around this rectangular shape.
- the radio identification element 12a taking the form of a pellet
- the side edge 16a is cylindrical.
- the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 proposes to form roundings 19 at the level of the angles between the lateral edge 16a and the upper 17 and lower 18 faces of the radio-identification element 12a.
- the parallelepiped shape can also include other rounds 19 at the level of the angles of the side edges 16b of the radio-identification element 12b of FIG. 6. .
- the invention proposes to incorporate the RFID element 12a-12b into the polymeric body 11 of a climbing hold 10.
- the climbing hold can be carried out conventionally by means of a first step 32 of producing a polymeric resin 22 and then of a second step 34 consisting in adding a catalyst 28 to the polymeric resin 22 to obtain a 24 curable mixture.
- This polymeric resin 22 can be made of polyester or polyurethane, or any other compatible resin.
- a step 35 consists in forming the polymeric body 11 by casting the mixture 24 in a mold, the shape of which will determine the gripping face 21 of the climbing hold 10. The mixture 24 flows out. then by gravity in the mold so that the face opposite the gripping face 21 is flat and will ultimately form the mounting face 20 intended to be placed on the face of the climbing wall.
- This mounting face 20 is often provided with fixing means, not shown, making it possible to fix the climbing socket 10 on the climbing wall.
- the invention After molding 35 of the mixture 24 in the mold, the invention also proposes to insert, in a step 36, the radio-identification element 12a-12b to the polymeric body 11.
- This radio-identification element 12a-12b is therefore inserted before or during the solidification of the polymeric body 11 so that the latter descends into the polymeric body 11 by gravity without reaching the bottom of the mold, that is to say without reaching the gripping face 20 once the polymeric body 11 is solidified.
- the displacement of the RFID element 12a-12b within the polymeric body 11 can be characterized depending on the viscosity of the mixture 24 and the surface area of the RFID element 12a-12b. It is for example possible to search for a precise insertion distance of the radio-identification element 12a-12b as a function of this viscosity, so as to obtain a distance of 0.5 cm between the gripping face 21, the face mounting 20 and the RFID element 12a-12b.
- the manufacturing process can also be completed by the incorporation, in a step 31, of a carbon powder 23 representing between 10% and 35% by weight of the polymeric body 11.
- a carbon powder 23 representing between 10% and 35% by weight of the polymeric body 11.
- the weight of the polymeric body 11 must be determined without taking into account the weight of the radio-identification element 12a-12b.
- a step 32 describes the stirring of the mixture 24 integrating the polymeric resin 22 and the carbon powder 23 and the placement, in a step 33, of the mixture 24 under a vacuum bell 27 so as to degas the mixture 24.
- the invention makes it possible to obtain a climbing hold 10 as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example a climbing hold. standardized for a speed competition.
- any other climbing hold can be achieved by the invention as long as the dimensions of the climbing hold are greater than those of the radio-identification element 12a-12b.
- the climbing hold 10 thus obtained can be used in a system for authenticating the climbing holds used during a competition.
- an official representative for example a judge or a referee, preferably uses a racket incorporating an antenna capable of carrying out an electromagnetic coupling with the antenna of the radio-identification element 12a-12b integrated in the socket. climbing.
- the racket is then connected to a database in order to be able to transmit the identification number integrated in the radio-identification element 12a-12b and transmitted by the electronic chip 13 when the latter is powered by the electromagnetic coupling.
- the official representative can then compare whether the number of the catch detected corresponds to that expected and, thus, confirm the conformity of the catch for the competition.
- a climber can wear a bracelet incorporating an electronic chip making it possible to identify the climber and an antenna making it possible, in the same way as with the snowshoe, to obtain the identification numbers of the holds. 'climbing 10 on which the climber evolves. By transmitting both the identification number of the climbing holds 10 and that of the climber contained in the bracelet, this system makes it possible to know the identity of a climber moving on a wall.
- This embodiment can also be coupled with capacitive detection obtained by the integration of carbon black in the climbing holds.
- this bracelet can also be used for an official representative of a competition as a replacement for the racquet previously described.
- the invention makes it possible to obtain climbing holds 10 incorporating a radio-identification element 12a-12b inside the polymeric body 11 which allows it to be glued on a gripping face 21 of this hold d. 'escalation 10, which limits the risk of detachment or degradation of the radio-identification element 12a-12b.
- the RFID element 12a-12b is now hidden inside the climbing hold 10, so that it is more complicated to counterfeit the climbing hold 10 and the presence of the climbing hold.
- the radio-identification element 12a-12b can no longer hinder the progression of a climber and the grip of the latter on the climbing socket 10.
