Detection Device
First Claim
1. Detection device for piece goods, preferably textiles and/or textile articles, comprising an antenna device for inductive coupling of an operating voltage into at least one electronic marking which are in each case captively connected to the piece goods to be counted, and a reading unit for acquiring the signals sent by the electronic markings, as well as a counter connected downstream of the reader for determining the respective number of piece goods by evaluation of the signals of the electronic markings received by means of the reader, wherein the antenna device for generating two respective electromagnetic fields of different orientations that are preferably orthogonal to each other comprises at least two separate antennas which are arranged at a defined angle, preferably a right angle, to each other.

Abstract
The invention relates to a detection device for piece goods, in particular textiles. Starting from the marking of textiles with RFID tags that can be read out by means of a reader, as is known from the prior art, a detection device for textiles is produced within the scope of the present invention, in which electromagnetic fields of different orientation are generated by means of at least two antennas arranged at a defined angle to each other, and this ensures that the electronic markings of the piece goods disposed in a counting cage may be reliably read out independently of their relative arrangement in the space.
