Abstract
To register the reference values for coin discrimination independently of one another by automatically discriminating coins different by denominations by a device at the time of registering the reference values used for coin discrimination. At the time of coin discriminating operation, detection data corresponding to the shape and materials of a coin 2 passing in a coin passage 6 is obtained from a first sensor 4 and a second sensor 5, and this detection data is compared with reference values for discrimination held in a memory to discriminate whether the coin is true or not. At the time of reference value register operation, plural coins for reference value acquisition are thrown from a coin slot 3; and if detection data outputted from sensors 4 and 5 at this time doesn't coincide with any temporary reference values temporarily registered in the memory, this detection data is temporarily registered in the memory as another temporary reference value. If detection data outputted from sensors coincide with a registered temporary reference value, this detection data is used to correct and rewrite this temporary reference value. At the time of the end of register operation, temporary reference values are set as new reference values for discrimination.
Description
The present invention relates to a kind of money discriminator, be used for above automatic vending machine, recreation ground machine, the money changing machine etc.
For the money discriminator that is used in machines such as recreation ground, because its unique currency is used in each shop, token for example is so this recognition device must have high-precision recognition capability for various token.
Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram of expression token recognition device.In Fig. 4, on behalf of token recognition device, 2,1 represent token, 3 to represent token input port, 4 to represent first sensor, 5 to represent second sensor, 6 to represent token path, 7 representatives to divide throttle valve, 8 representative reception paths, 9 representatives to move back the coin path.
3 tokens 2 that drop into are by token path 6 time from the token input port, and the data that can be exported by first sensor 4 and second sensor 5 are to differentiate the true and false of this token.Based on these data, when the result who judges be a true time, divide throttle valve 7 to open and make token 2 import reception paths 8.Again, when the result who judges was puppet, separately valve kept closing and making token 2 withdraw from via withdrawing from path 9.
The recognition methods of token is undertaken by following step.That is, token 2 is dropped into token input port 3 and arrives first sensor 4, send the preset detection signal with the beginning identification maneuver by first sensor 4.First sensor 4, second sensor 5 are respectively the coil that can produce preset frequency magnetic field, and form can detect a token by the time changes of magnetic field that produced Magnetic Sensor.When token 2 passes through the front of the first sensor 4 and second sensor 5, because the difference of its material, diameter, thickness makes magnetic field intensity that Magnetic Sensor is detected and frequency etc. change by predetermined ratio, the measured value of this variation is compared with the identification reference value that is recorded in advance on the storer, i.e. the true and false of this token of decidable.
Record to the identification reference value in the storer in the prior art carries out as follows.At first, money discriminator is switched to the reference value login mode, then drop into the token of a plurality of same kinds successively from token input port 3.The detection data that this moment, the first sensor 4 and second sensor 5 can obtain adding up, the detection data that at last this added up are averaged, to remain in the storer as the identification reference value.
In addition, login process to the identification reference value of the token recognition device that can discern token more than 2 kinds is, at first, by key etc. recognition device is appointed as 1 type earlier, then many pieces of this tokens are dropped into one by one, similar this token identification reference value is remained in the storer with the above.Then, recognition device is appointed as next kind and identical, the token identification reference value of next kind is remained in the storer with said process.Below, repeat same operation and with the token identification reference value login of a plurality of kinds of necessity in storer.
In addition, the prior art document of relevant this money discriminator as seen, for example, Japanese kokai publication hei 6-309544 communique (G07D 5/00), Japanese kokai publication hei 7-6250 communique (G07F 9/00) etc.
Yet,, once used the different token of material in the sometimes same recreation ground though the token appearance of same kind seems just the same.And in this recreation ground, carry out identification reference value when login of token recognition device with aforesaid prior art, this problem might appear: for the token more than 2 kinds, only logined 1 identification reference value.
Specifically, in recreation ground, when will be when up to the present employed token replenishes, because of considerations such as cost not necessarily place an order again to previous token production firm.In addition, even if size, pattern and previous token are in full accord, but might not be identical on the material.Therefore, though distinguishable in appearance after the token that replenishes adds to go out be the token of same kind, might sneak into the different token of material in fact.When under this situation, discerning the login of reference value, drop into token more successively, but in fact sneaked into the token more than 2 kinds because of the difference of these token materials even be appointed as a kind.Promptly in fact should login identification reference value more than 2, but only get the intermediate value of these tokens in the prior art and carry out the login of 1 identification reference value at different types of token.As a result, carrying out currency when identification because will be essentially more than 2 kinds token all decidable be regular currency, make permissible range increase, it is many to have become pine on promptly judging this moment.
At above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of money discriminator, when the variety classes token being carried out the reference value login, device of the present invention can automatically be differentiated these different types of tokens, and will login in storer respectively the difference identification reference value of variety classes token.
Money discriminator of the present invention comprises: the currency that drops into can be directed at currency path that currency collects part or withdraw from mouthful, can be corresponding export the sensor that detects data, can store and keep the storer of exporting based on sensor as aforementioned that detects the resulting a plurality of identification reference values of data and a plurality of tentative reference values and can switch to the reference value login mode and the mode-changeover device of currency recognition mode by the currency of this currency path.After switching to the reference value login mode by described mode-changeover device, the currency of the 1st input is temporarily logined in aforementioned memory as tentative reference value through the data that detect of described sensor output, from the 2nd time, do not fall into temporary transient login in the predetermined permissible range of the tentative reference value of aforementioned memory the time at the currency that drops into through the data that detect of sensor as aforementioned output, this is detected data temporarily login in described storer as other tentative reference value.And, when the data that detect of described sensor output fall into temporary transient login in the predetermined permissible range of the tentative reference value of described storer the time, use this to detect data and revise this tentative reference value, this tentative reference value generation device is also included within the money discriminator of the present invention.Money discriminator of the present invention also is included in after described mode-changeover device switches to the currency recognition mode by the reference value login mode, compare with the identification reference value that described tentative reference value is set out by the data that detect through described sensor output that will drop into currency, i.e. the currency truth identification device of the decidable currency true and false.
Wherein, under the reference value login mode, drop into many pieces of conducts from the currency input port and determine the currency that reference value is used, this moment when sensor output detect in the permissible range that data do not fall into each tentative reference value of temporarily logining the time, this is detected data is used as other tentative reference value and temporarily logins in described storer.On the other hand, when the output of aforementioned sensor detect in the permissible range that data have fallen into the tentative reference value of temporarily having logined the time, use this to detect data and revise this tentative reference value.Then, under the currency recognition mode, the data that detect that will obtain corresponding to the currency by the currency path by currency truth identification device compare with the identification reference value that remains in the storer, judge the true and false of currency thus.When falling in the permissible range of discerning reference value, data can be judged to be operable currency when detecting.
Therefore, when carrying out the reference value login, money discriminator of the present invention can automatically be differentiated different types of currency, thereby the identification reference value of these currency can be logined in storer respectively.

Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows the schematic block diagram of the control system of money discriminator of the present invention.Symbol 4,5,6 is corresponding with the symbol among Fig. 4, and 10 represent main control unit, and 11 represent counting circuit, 12 represent initialization circuit, and 13,14 represent start-oscillation circuit, and 15,16 represent testing circuit, 17 represent storer, 18 representative inputs, output circuit, and 19 represent display device.
The start- oscillation circuit 13,14 that links to each other with sensor 4,5 can be any character and produce vibration under optimal frequency according to the check token.For example, because first sensor mainly is the check as shapes such as the diameter of token and thickness, so start-oscillation circuit 13 produces vibration under high frequency.Second sensor mainly is the check as the material of token, so start-oscillation circuit 14 produces vibration under low frequency.Then, in the time of between token is by coil 4a, the 4b of first sensor 4, second sensor 5 and between coil 5a, 5b, coil 4b, 5b can capture the variation of magnetic field intensity and frequency.In addition, though what use in this embodiment is electromagnetic sensor, has more than and be limited to this a kind of sensor.For example, also can use optical sensor.In addition, the object that sensor is checked also not only is defined in the shape and the material of currency, such as objects such as the color that can also check currency, pattern, weight.
As shown in Figure 2, the capacity of storer 17 is for storing and keep n tentative reference value, a n cumulative data, a n piece counter value, n identification reference value, a n permissible range data and k permissible range revisal data therein.Tentative reference value is when the reference value login process, the temporary transient tentative reference value that keeps, and a cumulative data and a piece counter value are when revising tentative reference value, in order to obtain the mean value that detects data, and each are detected data and token piece number adds up resulting aggregate-value respectively.The identification reference value is after the reference value login process is finished, based on fixing tentatively the value that reference value is set.The permissible range data are in the token of same kind, are the admissible data area that detects at center with the identification reference value.Permissible range revisal data are used for according to circumstances so that permissible range is adjusted.When needs compare strict token identification, adopt to make the permissible range revisal data that permissible range is more narrow and small; When the looser token of needs is discerned, adopt the permissible range revisal data that make that permissible range is broad.
Below, the operation of money discriminator of the present invention is described.
Processing under the currency recognition mode is with mentioned above the same, when token 2 passes through the front of first sensor 4, second sensor 5, can the be corresponding different material of Magnetic Sensor, diameter, thickness etc. and detect the changing value of magnetic field intensity and frequency are the true and false of decidable token with this value of detecting with discerning that reference value compares.At this moment, be the permissible range after the revisal of process permissible range revisal data at center if this value of detecting is positioned at the identification reference value, then this token is correct, suitable token.
On the other hand, identification reference value login mode under be operating as mentioned below.
Fig. 3 shows the process flow diagram of the login process order of identification reference value.This processing is carried out in the main control unit of Fig. 1, and is to carry out beginning when initialization circuit 12 switches to the reference value login mode.
The 1st go on foot～removes the zone in the storer 17 1～5.
The 2nd go on foot～shows with LCD (liquid crystal display), LED display device 19 such as (diode displaying) when the reference value login process is underway.And, except the demonstration of optics, also can use music methods such as hummer to represent.
The 3rd the step～whether passed through the schedule time under the reference value login mode and judged switching to.This processing is when careless mistake switches to the reference value login mode, if the token input that the process preset time is also used without any data acquisition is just jumped out from this pattern.
Whether the 4th step～judgment standard value register finishes.
The 5th the step～if unclosed words still, 3 drop into and judge from the token input port whether token is arranged.
The 6th the step～if the token input arranged, then counting circuit 11 can receive the data that detect through the first sensor 4 of testing circuit 15 or testing circuit 16 or 5 outputs of second sensor.
The 7th go on foot～compares the received data that detect with each tentative reference value of temporarily logining on the zone 1 of storer 17, judge detecting in the tentative reference value permissible range whether data fall into temporary transient login of being received.This permissible range is by trying to achieve corresponding to the permissible range data in the hurdle in the zone 5 of each temporary reference value.
The 8th the step～after temporary transient login, can add 1 corresponding to piece number on the hurdle in the zone 3 of this temporary reference value.For example, in the time of in detecting the permissible range that data fall into zone 1 tentative reference value 2, piece counter value 2 in the corresponding hurdle in zone 3 will add 1.
The 9th the step～will detect data in 2 in the zone to be added in the cumulative data in the corresponding hurdle.
The 10th the step～with the cumulative data on corresponding hurdle in the zone 2 divided by piece number on corresponding hurdle in the zone 3, obtain mean value thus.Then this mean value is write in the corresponding hurdle in zone 1 to revise tentative reference value.
The 11st goes on foot～is not temporarily logined as yet as if detect data in the 7th step, then judges in the M1 hurdle in the zone 1 whether temporarily login this tentative reference value.
The 12nd the step～if login temporarily as yet then writes " 1 " in 3 C1 hurdle, zone.
The 13rd go on foot～will detect data writes in 2 the S1 hurdle, zone.
The 14th go on foot～temporarily logins in the M1 hurdle as tentative reference value to detect data.
The 15th goes on foot～after the tentative login of the 11st step, judges whether to temporarily logining the tentative reference value on regional 1 M2 hurdle.
The 16th the step～if as yet when temporarily not logining, in the C2 hurdle in zone 3, write " 1 ".
The 17th go on foot～will detect data writes in 2 the S2 hurdle, zone.
The 18th go on foot～temporarily logins in the N2 hurdle as tentative reference value to detect data.
Below, the processing in the 19th～the 22nd step repeats and the identical processing of the 15th～the 18th step.
The 23rd the step～after finishing with the reference value registers in 4 steps, in zone 1 with each tentative reference value of temporary transient login as new identification reference value with its login.As shown in Figure 2, the zone of login can be the zone 4 beyond the zone 1, also can directly use zone 1.
The 24th the step～after the temporary transient login of the 19th step, because of the zone of the previous temporary transient login usefulness of preparing full, so demonstration has exceeded memory span.
The 25th go on foot～removes the zone 1～4 of storer 17.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment,, also can carry out same repeatedly processing certainly by the sensor number with 2 situations with upper sensor though the processing of using 1 sensor only has been described.And the number of times that the capacity of storer 17 also can corresponding above-mentioned processing is equipped with.In addition, though the foregoing description has only illustrated the money discriminator that is used in recreation ground etc., the alleged currency of the present invention is not limited in this.The present invention can also be applicable to the usual general coin and the recognition device of bank note.
As mentioned above, use money discriminator of the present invention, when reference value is logined, can save the trouble of specifying each kind of currencies, can automatically differentiate different types of currency, and different identification reference values is logined respectively.In addition, even if can't tell with naked eyes under the situation that same kind, unlike material currency mix, money discriminator of the present invention also can automatically be divided into it a plurality of identification reference values and login respectively.As a result, the corresponding permissible range that each can be discerned reference value is set to necessary Min., like this, can improve the degree of accuracy of judgement when carrying out currency identification.
