Abstract

An apparatus for arranging an electronic data carrier on a component of a fluidic system is proposed. The apparatus includes the electronic data carrier. An insert is provided that can be inserted into a main body, which insert, in a first position with respect to the main body, vacates a release space in order for at least one cable portion of a cable to be introduced. In a second position with respect to the main body, the insert secures itself and the at least one cable portion to the main body such that they cannot be pulled out.

Claims

1. Apparatus for arranging an electronic data carrier on a component of a fluidic system, characterized in that

the apparatus comprises the electronic data carrier,

an insert is provided that can be inserted into a main body,

in a first position with respect to the main body, the insert vacates a release space in order for at least one cable portion of a cable to be introduced, and

in a second position with respect to the main body, the insert secures itself and the at least one cable portion to the main body such that they cannot be pulled out.

2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic data carrier is arranged in a distal region of the insert.

3. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic data carrier is arranged at a base of a container, and wherein the container is arranged in a recess in the apparatus such that the base of said container faces outwards.

4. Apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the container is produced from PTFE.

5. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the insert comprises a securing portion which, in the second position and together with the main body, defines a fixing channel for the cable portion, and wherein the fixing channel has a kink in the course thereof for the cable portion.

6. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the insert and the main body are designed such that two cable portions can be introduced and secured.

7. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a cable comprising the cable portion is rigidly connected to the main body.

8. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the insert, in the second position, is received in the main body such that a distal lateral surface of the insert is covered by the main body.

9. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in the second position of the insert with respect to the main body, a distal end surface of the insert is flush with an end surface of the main body.

10. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an annular groove for securing the insert in the second position is arranged between a first and a second inner cylinder of the main body, wherein a first guide portion of the insert is axially guided in the first inner cylinder, and wherein a second guide portion of the insert is axially guided in the second inner cylinder.

11. Component of a fluidic system, to which an apparatus is secured, wherein the apparatus comprises an electronic data carrier,

an insert is provided that can be inserted into a main body,

in a first position with respect to the main body, the insert vacates a release space in order for at least one cable portion of a cable to be introduced, and

in a second position with respect to the main body, the insert secures itself and the at least one cable portion to the main body such that they cannot be pulled out.

12. Method for arranging an apparatus on a component of a fluidic system, wherein the apparatus comprises an electronic data carrier, an insert is provided that can be inserted into a main body, in a first position with respect to the main body, the insert vacates a release space in order for at least one cable portion of a cable to be introduced, and in a second position with respect to the main body, the insert secures itself and the at least one cable portion to the main body such that they cannot be pulled out, the method comprising:

arranging the cable around the component;

introducing the at least one cable portion into the apparatus; and

pushing the insert into the main body.
