參照第1圖，其中顯示本發明的一實施例之流程圖。一範例中，根據本發明的至少一原理之一裝置可藉由將其自身初始化成為一初始狀態(步驟102)(譬如，施加電力時進行其模組的自我檢查及/或壓抵一起動鈕(步驟101))藉以開始配給一配給物體(譬如一卷的票券，一卷的囊袋等)。一範例中，經初始化的裝置隨後係啟動(步驟103)至少一饋送及至少一出離馬達。一範例中，經初始化的裝置係以一往前運動啟動至少一饋送及至少一出離馬達。一範例中，至少一饋送馬達係被操作性連接至至少一靜態位移光學感測器。一範例中，至少一饋送馬達係被操作性連接至至少一饋送滾子。Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. In one example, a device in accordance with at least one of the principles of the present invention can be initialized to an initial state (step 102) (eg, self-checking of its modules and/or pressing against a button when power is applied) (Step 101)) To start dispensing a given object (such as a roll of coupons, a roll of bags, etc.). In one example, the initialized device then initiates (step 103) at least one feed and at least one exit motor. In one example, the initialized device activates at least one feed and at least one exit motor with a forward motion. In one example, at least one feed motor is operatively coupled to at least one static displacement optical sensor. In one example, at least one feed motor is operatively coupled to at least one feed roller.
一範例中，啟動時，至少一饋送馬達係轉動至少一饋送滾子。一範例中，往前運動期間，至少一饋送滾子沿著一配給通道推押配給物體的一部分。一範例中，至少一出離馬達亦被操作性連接至至少靜態位移光學感測器。一範例中，至少一出離滾子亦被操作性連接至至少一出離感測器及至少一出離滾子。一範例中，啟動時，至少一出離馬達係轉動至少一出離滾子且其中至少一出離滾子沿著配給通道拉取配給物體的該部分。一範例中，出離感測器被定位於至少一出離滾子之後。一範例中，本發明檢查出離感測器是否產生一信號(步驟104)，其指示出配給物體的該部分之一前導邊緣已經啟動出離感測器。一範例中，來自出離感測器的信號係指示出將從該卷票券被配給之一特定票券的前導邊緣造成出離感測器的條件之一變化(譬如打斷光徑等)。一範例中，出離感測器係被操作性連接至靜態位移光學感測器。一範例中，若本發明接收到其被啟動之來自出離感測器的信號，由於該信號係指示出將被配給之配給物體的一部分之前導邊緣，本發明係重設(步驟105)光學感測器的位移計數。一範例中，位移計數係與配給物體的該部分之一長度(譬如單一票券或一囊袋的一長度等)相關聯。In one example, at startup, at least one feed motor rotates at least one feed roller. In one example, during forward movement, at least one of the feed rollers pushes a portion of the dispensing object along a dispensing channel. In one example, at least one of the exiting motors is operatively coupled to at least the static displacement optical sensor. In one example, at least one of the outgoing rollers is operatively coupled to at least one of the exit sensors and at least one of the outgoing rollers. In one example, at the time of starting, at least one exits from the motor shaft at least one out of the roller and at least one of which exits the portion of the dispensing object along the dispensing channel. In one example, the exit sensor is positioned after at least one exit roller. In one example, the present invention checks whether a sensor is generated from the sensor (step 104) indicating that the leading edge of one of the portions of the dispensing object has activated the sensor. In one example, the signal from the exit sensor indicates a change in one of the conditions from the leading edge of the particular ticket to which the ticket is dispensed (eg, breaking the light path, etc.) . In one example, the exit sensor is operatively coupled to the static displacement optical sensor. In one example, if the present invention receives a signal from the exit sensor that is activated, the present invention resets (step 105) optically because the signal indicates a portion of the leading edge of the dispensing object to be dispensed. The displacement count of the sensor. In one example, the displacement count is associated with the length of one of the portions of the dispensing object (e.g., a single ticket or a length of a pocket, etc.).
一範例中，本發明可連續地或間歇地(特定的時間期間之後：每0.5秒，1秒，2秒等)檢查(步驟106)配給物體的該部分移行之一距離。一範例中，當本發明被施加至配給票券(諸如立即式彩券等)時，步驟106中，本發明可被程式化以比較票券的移行距離與其預定長度。一範例中，本發明可被程式化以檢查(步驟107)票券的已移行距離是否等於大約的票券長度減去一煞車距離(亦即，即便馬達接收到一停止信號，由於馬達/滾子的慣性或另一條件而使票券仍可移行之一距離)。In one example, the present invention may inspect (step 106) one of the distances of the portion of the dispensed object continuously or intermittently (after a particular time period: every 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.). In one example, when the present invention is applied to a dispensing ticket (such as an instant lottery ticket, etc.), in step 106, the present invention can be programmed to compare the travel distance of the ticket to its predetermined length. In one example, the present invention can be programmed to check (step 107) whether the traveled distance of the ticket is equal to approximately the ticket length minus one vehicle distance (i.e., even if the motor receives a stop signal due to motor/roll The inertia of the child or another condition causes the ticket to move one distance away).
一範例中，本發明係利用靜態位移光學感測器，當靜態位移光學感測器接收到來自出離感測器的信號時其係產生對應於配給物體(譬如彩券)的該部分所移行之一距離的一測量之至少一信號。一範例中，本系統係可以下列為基礎測量(步驟108)所移行距離：a)使至少一光束通過配給物體的該部分之一表面上方，其沿著配給通道移行，及b)以回行光的特徵之差異為基礎偵測將配給物體的該部分之一方向及一速度予以特徵化之參數以決定配給物體的該部分所移行之一預定距離。In one example, the present invention utilizes a static displacement optical sensor that, when received by a static displacement optical sensor, generates a portion corresponding to a dispensed object (e.g., a lottery ticket). At least one signal of a measurement of a distance. In one example, the system can measure (step 108) the distance traveled based on: a) passing at least one beam over a surface of one of the portions of the dispensing object, moving along the dispensing channel, and b) returning The difference in characteristics of the light is based on detecting a parameter that characterizes one of the directions of the portion of the object and a velocity to determine a predetermined distance from which the portion of the object is transferred.
一範例中，本發明係登錄若已抵達破壞距離，本發明可啟動受控制式馬達煞車(步驟109)。一範例中，在受控制式破壞步驟之時，本發明可連續地或間歇地檢查(步驟110)是否已達成完整的預定移行距離(亦即，票券已移行等於大約其長度或其長度之預定距離)。一範例中，若配給物體的該部分已移行其完整預定距離，本發明可使馬達停止(步驟111)。In one example, the present invention is directed to the controlled motor brake if the landing distance has been reached (step 109). In one example, at the time of the controlled destruction step, the present invention can continuously or intermittently check (step 110) whether a complete predetermined travel distance has been achieved (i.e., the ticket has been moved equal to about its length or its length). Scheduled distance). In one example, the present invention may stop the motor if the portion of the dispensing object has moved its full predetermined distance (step 111).
一範例中，本發明隨後係使配給物體的該部分從配給物體的一其餘部分分離(步驟112)(譬如，一切具從該卷票券切除該票券)。一範例中，本發明可隨後以一逆反運動重新啟動(步驟113)至少一饋送馬達以沿著配給通道藉由至少一饋送滾子將配給物體的其餘部分拉回至一預設位置(譬如，起動/停靠位置─步驟102)。一範例中，本發明隨後亦可重新啟動(步驟114)至少一出離馬達以藉由轉動至少一出離滾子來繼續移動配給物體的經切割部分。In one example, the invention then separates the portion of the dispensing object from a remainder of the dispensing object (step 112) (e.g., everything has the ticket removed from the ticket). In one example, the present invention can then be restarted (step 113) with a reverse motion (step 113) at least one feed motor to pull the remainder of the dispensed object back to a predetermined position along the dispense channel by at least one feed roller (eg, Start/stop position - step 102). In one example, the present invention may then be restarted (step 114) at least one exiting the motor to continue moving the cut portion of the dispensing object by rotating at least one off roller.
一範例中，本發明可當饋送馬達在逆反狀態操作時、當已被移回時連續地或間歇地檢查(步驟115)藉由配給物體的其餘部分往回移行之一距離。一範例中，本發明可連續地或間歇地檢查(步驟116)配給物體的其餘部分是否已移回至配給物體的先前前導邊緣在配給循環開始時所位居之原始位置(譬如接著將被配給的一票券之一前導邊緣)。一範例中，若下個票券位於停靠位置中，本發明停止至少一饋送馬達(步驟117)。In one example, the present invention can be continuously or intermittently inspected (step 115) by the feed motor in the reverse state when it has been moved back (step 115) by moving the remainder of the object back a distance. In one example, the present invention may continuously or intermittently check (step 116) whether the remainder of the dispensing object has been moved back to the original position at which the previous leading edge of the dispensing object was at the beginning of the dispensing cycle (eg, will be dispensed next) One of the tickets is a leading edge). In one example, if the next ticket is in the docking position, the present invention stops at least one feed motor (step 117).
一範例中，本發明可連續地或間歇地檢查(步驟118)出離感測器是否仍為主動(譬如，出離票券仍阻礙出離感測器的光徑)。一範例中，若出離感測器被解除啟動(譬如其光徑被恢復)，則本發明停止至少一出離馬達(步驟119)且給定循環的配給係結束(步驟120)。一範例中，本發明前進至步驟101至120的下個循環，並繼續如此直到配給物體完全被配給為止(譬如，該卷的全部票券皆已被配給)。一範例中，如同一般熟習該技術者所瞭解，可達成本發明而未必要進行全部步驟、或以所詳述的相同順序進行全部步驟、或以確切詳述方式進行步驟。In one example, the present invention can continuously or intermittently check (step 118) whether the exit sensor is still active (e.g., the exit ticket still hinders the optical path from the sensor). In one example, if the exit sensor is deactivated (e.g., its optical path is restored), then the present invention stops at least one exit from the motor (step 119) and the given cycle of the dispense system ends (step 120). In one example, the present invention proceeds to the next cycle of steps 101 through 120 and continues to do so until the dispensing object is fully dispensed (e.g., all tickets for the volume have been dispensed). In an example, as is known to those skilled in the art, the invention may be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.
一範例中，當配給起動且票券開始移動時，來自位移光學感測器之任何測量皆被棄置。一範例中，當票券邊緣觸發出離感測器時，則登錄位移光學感測器數值。一範例中，位移光學感測器數值的登錄係設定製程(亦即配給循環)的初始條件。一範例中，位移光學感測器係測量票券移行距離並對於預定票券長度控制票券動作直到穿孔線被放置在分離機構上方為止。一範例中，票券動作係停止且分離機構被啟動使其破壞穿孔。In one example, any measurements from the displacement optical sensor are discarded when the dispensing is initiated and the ticket begins to move. In one example, when the edge of the ticket triggers the sensor, the displacement optical sensor value is registered. In one example, the registration of the displacement optical sensor values sets the initial conditions of the process (ie, the dispense cycle). In one example, the displacement optical sensor measures the ticket travel distance and controls the ticket action for a predetermined ticket length until the perforation line is placed over the separation mechanism. In one example, the ticket action is stopped and the separation mechanism is activated to destroy the perforation.
一範例中，出離運送滾子係將經切割的票券推出機構外直到出離感測器清空為止。一範例中，票券條帶係逆行回到初始配給位置以就緒供下個循環用。In one example, the exiting roller system pushes the cut ticket out of the mechanism until it is emptied from the sensor. In one example, the ticket strip is retrograde back to the initial dispense position to be ready for the next iteration.
一範例中，有關彩券的配給，至少一饋送滾子係以從約1到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一饋送滾子係以從約1到約200mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一饋送滾子係以從約1到約100mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一饋送滾子係以從約1到約50mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一饋送滾子係以從約50到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一饋送滾子係以從約100到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。In one example, regarding the dispensing of the lottery, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 300 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 200 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 100 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 50 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 50 to about 300 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the feed rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 100 to about 300 mm/sec.
一範例中，有關彩券的配給，至少一出離滾子係以從約1到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一出離滾子係以從約1到約200mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一出離滾子係以從約1到約100mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一出離滾子係以從約1到約50mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一出離滾子係以從約50到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。一範例中，至少一出離滾子係以從約100到約300mm/sec的速度旋轉。In one example, the dispensing of the lottery is rotated at least one speed away from the roller to a speed of from about 1 to about 300 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 200 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 100 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the exit rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 1 to about 50 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 50 to about 300 mm/sec. In one example, at least one of the rollers is rotated at a speed of from about 100 to about 300 mm/sec.
一範例中，饋送滾子的旋轉速度係不同於出離滾子的旋轉速度。一範例中，饋送及出離滾子的速度之間的速度差係在從約1：1至約1：1.3變動。一範例中，饋送及出離滾子的速度之間的速度差係在從約1：1至約1：1.1變動。一範例中，饋送及出離滾子的速度之間的速度差係在從約1：1至約1：1.5變動。一範例中，饋送及出離滾子的速度之間的速度差係在從約1：1至約1：1.2變動。一範例中，饋送及出離滾子的速度之間的速度差係在從約1：1至約2變動。In one example, the rotational speed of the feed roller is different from the rotational speed of the outgoing roller. In one example, the speed difference between the speed of feeding and exiting the roller varies from about 1:1 to about 1:1.3. In one example, the speed difference between the speed of feeding and exiting the roller varies from about 1:1 to about 1:1.1. In one example, the speed difference between the speed of feeding and exiting the roller varies from about 1:1 to about 1:1.5. In one example, the speed difference between the speed of feeding and exiting the roller varies from about 1:1 to about 1:1.2. In one example, the speed difference between the speed of feeding and exiting the roller varies from about 1:1 to about 2.
一範例中，至少一饋送滾子的往前速度可不同於至少一饋送滾子的逆反速度。一範例中，票券分離前之至少一出離滾子的速度係可不同於分離後之至少一出離滾子的速度。In one example, the forward speed of the at least one feed roller may be different than the reverse speed of the at least one feed roller. In one example, at least one of the exiting rollers before the ticket is separated may be at a different speed than the separated at least one of the separated rollers.
一範例中，光學感測器可在用於指示出其部分的前導邊緣已抵達出離感測器的信號之前開始測量配給物體或其部分所移行的距離。一範例中，藉由在來自出離感測器的信號之前測量所移行的距離，本發明可偵測機械故障(譬如失誤的馬達，紙徑中的票券堵塞等)。In one example, the optical sensor can begin measuring the distance traveled by the dispensing object or portion thereof before indicating that the leading edge of its portion has reached the signal exiting the sensor. In one example, the present invention can detect mechanical faults (such as faulty motors, ticket clogging in paper paths, etc.) by measuring the distance traveled before exiting the signal from the sensor.
一範例中，可供靜態位移光學感測器據以測量所移行距離之回行光的特徵係包括但不限於：該配給物體及/或該配給物體上之紋路圖案，散射光，及/或反射。一範例中，靜態位移光學感測器可為阿維苟(Avago) ADNS6530，或用於處理類似特徵之任何其他光學感測器。一範例中，靜態位移光學感測器可能需符合表1所列的最小值要求。In one example, the characteristics of the return light that the static displacement optical sensor can measure the travel distance include, but are not limited to, the pattern of the distribution object and/or the pattern on the distribution object, scattered light, and/or reflection. In one example, the static displacement optical sensor can be an Avago ADNS 6530, or any other optical sensor used to handle similar features. In one example, the static displacement optical sensor may need to meet the minimum requirements listed in Table 1.
一範例中，本發明可藉由擷取影像訊框來計算所移行的一距離。一範例中，靜態位移光學感測器可從所擷取影像外插得出所移行距離。一範例中，所擷取影像係與一計數系統相關聯。一範例中，計數可經由一稱為CPI：每吋計數的裝置所界定之一恆定比值對應於一距離。一範例中，CPI係操作性連接於靜態位移光學感測器。一範例中，可根據下列函數來計算距離：In one example, the present invention can calculate a distance traveled by capturing an image frame. In one example, the static displacement optical sensor can extrapolate from the captured image to derive the travel distance. In one example, the captured image is associated with a counting system. In one example, the count may correspond to a distance via a constant ratio defined by a device called CPI: Each count. In one example, the CPI is operatively coupled to a static displacement optical sensor. In an example, the distance can be calculated according to the following function:
長度(吋)=感測器計數/CPI。Length (吋) = sensor count / CPI.
一範例中，光學感測器及出離感測器的位置之間的一距離係經由一裝置設計所預定(及/或固定)。一範例中，光學感測器及出離感測器的位置之間的預定距離係容許本發明計算一票券在被切割前所需移行之預定距離，如下：In one example, a distance between the optical sensor and the location of the exit sensor is predetermined (and/or fixed) by a device design. In one example, the predetermined distance between the optical sensor and the location of the exit sensor allows the present invention to calculate a predetermined distance that a ticket needs to travel before being cut, as follows:
偏移距離(吋)：從出離感測器至刀具之距離(通常藉由設計所得知)。Offset distance (吋): The distance from the sensor to the tool (usually known by design).
票券長度(吋)：票券長度通常以一參數被提供至新穎的配給機構。Ticket length (吋): The ticket length is usually provided to the novel distribution agency with a parameter.
一範例中，當配給物體的前導邊緣觸發出離感測器時，本發明可計算切割前剩餘之距離，如下：In one example, when the leading edge of the dispensing object triggers the sensor, the present invention calculates the remaining distance before cutting, as follows:
待移行距離=票券長度-偏移距離Travel distance = ticket length - offset distance
光學感測器計數=0(重設)(譬如，當卷中的第一張票券將由新穎的配給裝置所配給時)。Optical sensor count = 0 (reset) (for example, when the first ticket in the volume will be dispensed by a novel dispensing device).
一範例中，當票券往前移動，待移行距離之參數係減小如下：In an example, when the ticket moves forward, the parameters of the distance to be moved are reduced as follows:
待移行距離(吋)=待移行距離(吋)-光學感測器計數/CPIDistance to be moved (吋) = distance to be moved (吋) - optical sensor count / CPI
其中CPI(感測器每吋計數)係對於各個感測器&機構建置從校準演算法所導出(第3圖)。The CPI (sensor per turn count) is derived from the calibration algorithm for each sensor & machine build (Figure 3).
一範例中，光學感測器的一位置可能與距離測量不相干。一範例中，靜態位移光學感測器係被放置在相距刀具比待配給最小票券更小之一距離(譬如，若最小票券是2吋，則靜態位移光學感測器被放置在相距刀具(之前)小於2吋以內)。一範例中，藉由將靜態位移光學感測器定位成使其相距刀具的距離小於待配給的最小票券，係容許在一裝填體中配給最後兩張票券。In one example, a position of the optical sensor may be irrelevant to the distance measurement. In one example, the static displacement optical sensor is placed at a distance from the tool that is smaller than the minimum ticket to be dispensed (for example, if the minimum ticket is 2 inches, the static displacement optical sensor is placed at the distance tool) (Before) less than 2吋). In one example, by positioning the static displacement optical sensor such that its distance from the tool is less than the minimum ticket to be dispensed, the last two tickets are allowed to be dispensed in a blank.
一範例中，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能與切具(譬如刀具)相關聯。一範例中，本發明可將票券定位在切具後方的一地點使得票券不會干擾刀具動作(當本發明具有一多重通路設計時，這可能有用)。In one example, a "preset" ("dock") position may be associated with a cut (such as a tool). In one example, the present invention can position the ticket at a location behind the cutter such that the ticket does not interfere with the tool action (this may be useful when the invention has a multiple path design).
一範例中，有關彩券的配給，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能位於切具之前0.5吋。一範例中，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能位於切具之前1.0吋。一範例中，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能位於切具之前0.75吋。一範例中，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能位於切具之前0.25吋。一範例中，“預設”(“停靠”)位置可能位於刀具之前0.25至約2吋。In one example, for a lottery match, the "preset" ("dock") position may be 0.5 之前 before the cut. In one example, the "preset" ("dock") position may be located 1.0 之前 before the cutting. In one example, the "preset" ("dock") position may be 0.75 inches before the cut. In one example, the "preset" ("dock") position may be 0.25 inches before the cut. In one example, the "preset" ("dock") position may be 0.25 to about 2 inches before the tool.
本發明的一範例中，至少一饋送馬達可具有一速度X且至少一出離馬達具有一速度Y，且X與Y之間維持一差異藉以使配給物體的移行部分維持在一拉張狀態，而在分離步驟之前不使該部分從配給物體的其餘部分分離。In an example of the present invention, at least one feed motor may have a speed X and at least one exiting motor has a speed Y, and a difference is maintained between X and Y to maintain the transition portion of the dispensing object in a stretched state, The portion is not separated from the remainder of the dispensing object prior to the separating step.
一範例中，本發明在移行的配給物體的表面與靜態位移光學感測器之間維持一近似特定距離(y)。一範例中，距離(y)係以光感測器的特定特徵為基礎所決定。一範例中，對於光學感測器阿維苟(Avago)ADNS6530，距離(y)位移可為約2.4mm+/-0.2mm。一範例中，可例如利用一使票券表面相距靜態位移光學感測器總保持約呈所想要距離之拉張機構來維持距離(y)。參照用於顯示本發明的一實施例之第2圖。一範例中，本發明係包括靜態位移光學感測器201，其中配給物體(票券條帶200)進入配給通道。一範例中，本發明進一步包括拉張機構202(以在票券條帶中維持拉張以使票券表面保持總是相距靜態位移光學感測器201約呈所想要的距離)，其位居配給通道的相對側上且實質位於靜態位移光學感測器201對面。一範例中，本發明進一步包括兩個饋送滾子203，切具(分離機構204)，兩個出離滾子205，及出離感測器206。 In one example, the present invention maintains an approximate specific distance (y) between the surface of the transitional dispensing object and the static displacement optical sensor. In one example, the distance (y) is determined based on the particular characteristics of the photosensor. In one example, for the optical sensor Avago ADNS 6530, the distance (y) displacement can be about 2.4 mm +/- 0.2 mm. In one example, the distance (y) can be maintained, for example, by a tensioning mechanism that maintains the surface of the ticket at a distance from the static displacement optical sensor to a desired distance. Reference is made to Fig. 2 for showing an embodiment of the present invention. In one example, the invention includes a static displacement optical sensor 201 in which a dispensing object (ticket strip 200) enters a dispensing channel. In one example, the present invention further includes a tensioning mechanism 202 (to maintain a stretch in the ticket strip such that the ticket surface remains always about the desired distance from the static displacement optical sensor 201). The opposite side of the distribution channel is substantially opposite the static displacement optical sensor 201. In one example, the present invention further includes two feed rollers 203, a cutter (separation mechanism 204), two exit rollers 205, and an exit sensor 206.
參照用於顯示可用來校準根據本發明至少部分原理製成的一系統之本發明的一實施例的流程圖之第3圖。一範例中，可利用該校準以增強感測器的精確度。一範例中，有關彩券的配給，該校準可使用一在沿著票券長度的已知位置設有槽之特殊測試票券。一範例中，當槽被出離感測器所登錄(藉由喚起出離感測器條件的暫態變化)時，本發明係決定槽相對於票券距離的距離已被導出。一範例中，本發明可計算本發明用來修改將計數轉譯成距離的標稱比值之一矯正因子。 Reference is made to Fig. 3 for showing a flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention which can be used to calibrate a system made in accordance with at least some of the principles of the present invention. In one example, the calibration can be utilized to enhance the accuracy of the sensor. In one example, for the dispensing of the lottery, the calibration may use a special test ticket with slots in known locations along the length of the ticket. In one example, the present invention determines that the distance of the slot relative to the ticket distance has been derived when the slot is logged out of the sensor (by evoking a transient change from the sensor condition). In one example, the present invention can calculate a correction factor used by the present invention to modify a nominal ratio that translates a count into a distance.
本發明的一範例中，位移光學感測器可能不需對準於 出離感測器。一範例中，槽不會影響測量距離。一範例中，採用設有兩槽的測試票券之校準可如下進行。一範例中，當新穎的系統被初始化(步驟301-302)且饋送及出離馬達啟動時(步驟303)，校準票券係通過出離感測器上方，將其啟動(步驟304)。一範例中，當第一槽的邊緣通過出離感測器上方，出離感測器係被解除啟動(步驟305)並重設一距離測量數值(步驟306)。一範例中，利用光學感測器開始距離登錄，首先是步驟306。當第一槽通過出離感測器上方，出離感測器變成再度被啟動(步驟307)。一範例中，當第二槽通過出離感測器上方時，再度收集測量數值(步驟308)。一範例中，這兩數值的差異係提供一使得來自位移光學感測器的計數與校準票券所移行的實際距離交叉相關之校準數值(309)。 In an example of the present invention, the displacement optical sensor may not need to be aligned Exit the sensor. In one example, the slot does not affect the measurement distance. In one example, calibration using a test coupon with two slots can be performed as follows. In one example, when the novel system is initialized (steps 301-302) and the feed and exit motors are activated (step 303), the calibration ticket is activated by exiting the sensor (step 304). In one example, when the edge of the first slot passes over the sensor, the exit sensor system is deactivated (step 305) and a distance measurement value is reset (step 306). In one example, the optical sensor is used to initiate the distance registration, first step 306. When the first slot passes over the exit sensor, the exit sensor becomes activated again (step 307). In one example, when the second slot passes over the sensor, the measured value is again collected (step 308). In one example, the difference in the two values provides a calibration value (309) that cross-correlates the count from the displacement optical sensor to the actual distance traveled by the calibration ticket.
參照用於顯示本發明的一實施例以進行校準之第4圖。一範例中，校準/測試票券(400)可具有兩個槽(401及402)。一範例中，校準票券400的前導邊緣係通過出離感測器403上方，將其啟動。一範例中，當第一槽(401)的邊緣通過出離感測器(403)上方，出離感測器被解除啟動(403)並重設一距離測量數值。一範例中，距離係由光學感測器(404)所登錄。第一槽(401)通過出離感測器(403)上方之後，出離感測器(403)變成再度被啟動。一範例中，當第二槽(402)通過出離感測器(403)上方時，藉由光學感測器(404)再度收集測量數值。 Reference is made to Fig. 4 for showing an embodiment of the present invention for calibration. In one example, the calibration/test ticket (400) can have two slots (401 and 402). In one example, the leading edge of the calibration ticket 400 is activated by exiting the sensor 403. In one example, when the edge of the first slot (401) passes over the exit sensor (403), the exit sensor is deactivated (403) and a distance measurement value is reset. In one example, the distance is registered by an optical sensor (404). After the first slot (401) passes over the sensor (403), the exit sensor (403) becomes activated again. In one example, when the second slot (402) passes over the sensor (403), the measured value is again collected by the optical sensor (404).
一範例中，根據本發明的至少部分原理製成之系統的精確度係可能依據感測器精確度、安裝、配給物體(譬如票券)、感測器對準、或其他機械因素而定。一範例中，可藉由該校準來降低或消除因為機械組裝或材料變異所導入的任何誤差。In one example, the accuracy of the system made in accordance with at least some of the principles of the present invention may depend on sensor accuracy, installation, dispensing of objects (e.g., tickets), sensor alignment, or other mechanical factors. In one example, the calibration can be used to reduce or eliminate any errors introduced by mechanical assembly or material variations.

In one example, the static displacement optical sensor can measure the ticket displacement by detecting one or more of the same dimming light by detecting the scattered light reflected by the surface. In one example, the coherent light system emitted by the sensor is focused on the detection surface. In one example, a portion of the emitted light is scattered back into the sensor where it causes a variation proportional to the speed and direction of motion of the generated signal, which is then processed in accordance with at least some principles of the present invention to determine the ticket. The direction and displacement of the voucher. In one example, the displacement optical sensor does not touch the ticket surface but is at an optimum distance based on the characteristics of a particular optical sensor and the novel system used, as previously detailed.

In one example, the same dimming system adequately illuminates the detection surface. In one example, a portion of the emitted light is reflected back into the image sensor to generate an image frame. In one example, the image frame of the illuminated area is captured at a particular rate per second. In one example, the present invention processes the change between a frame and a frame by translating the received image frame data into a two-axis motion image processor using an optical flow estimation algorithm. In one example, these optical flow estimation algorithms determine the direction and magnitude of motion and thereby determine the displacement of the ticket (or any other suitable dispensing object). In one example, a particular optical flow estimation algorithm may be utilized by itself or in combination with one or more other optical flow estimation algorithms. In one example, the use of a particular algorithm is based on at least one of the following:

Beauchemin)、貝潤(J.L. Barron)(1995)之光學流的運算，ACM美國紐約，基於各種用途被併入，包括布雷克-傑普森(Black-Jepson)演算法及其變異、及額外的光學流測量方法之描述及應用─其中所詳述)；一般變異性方法─宏恩-霜克(Horn-Schunck)之一系列的修改/擴充，利用其他資料項目及其他平順性項目；及離散最適化方法─搜尋空間被量化，且隨後在每個像素處經由標籤指派來解決影像匹配，故對應的變形係使得來源及目標影像之間具有最小的距離(常經由最小切割最大流演算法、線性程式化或信度傳遞法(belief propagation method)取回最佳的解)。In one example, the optical flow estimation algorithm may include, but is not limited to, the following algorithms: phase cross-correlation - the reciprocal of the normalized cross power spectrum; a block-based approach - minimizing the sum of the differences or the sum of the square differences , or try to increase the normalized cross-correlation; the method of estimating the difference of optical flow is based on the partial derivative function of the image signal and/or the sought flow field and higher-order partial derivative function, such as: Lucas-Card Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow Method - Image Filling and an Affine Model for Flow Fields; Horn-Schunck Method - Based on Residues Constrained by Brightness Constraints A function is optimized, and a specific normalized expression that expresses the expected smoothness of the flow field; the Buxton-Buxton method is based on one of the edge actions in the image sequence; Blake- The Black-Jepson method—through the cross-correlated rough optical flow (such as SS Beauchemin, JL Barron (1995) optical flow calculation, ACM New York, USA, based on various uses Incorporate, including Description and application of the Black-Jepson algorithm and its variations, and additional optical flow measurement methods - as detailed above; general variability methods - Horn-Schunck a series of modifications/expansion, using other data items and other rides; and discrete optimization methods - the search space is quantized, and then image matching is resolved via label assignment at each pixel, so the corresponding deformation system makes There is a minimum distance between the source and target images (often the best solution is retrieved via the minimum cut maximum flow algorithm, linear stylization or belief propagation method).
一範例中，本發明可藉由將光學感測器放置成與本票券表面相對且將光束直接運送至票券的表面上藉以直接地測量所移行距離。一範例中，本發明可藉由利用一接觸依遵循票券的位移)來間接地測量所移行距離。一範例中，位移光學感測器的位移可被放置成與輪的表面或輪核心表面呈現相對並將光束運送至輪的所測量表面上。一範例中，藉由位移光學感測器所測量之票券的位移係可能對應於測量期間中已經碰觸配給物體的該部分之被動輪的表面之一周邊。一範例中，隨後可藉由依此調整經測量數值來計算配給物體(譬如票券條帶)的位移。一範例中，藉由測量被動輪的表面之周邊，係容許測量與輪的特徵獨立無關。一範例中，藉由測量被動輪的表面之周邊，係容許降低或消除來自配給通道及/或位於配給通道中之票券表面的滑移。In one example, the present invention can directly measure the travel distance by placing the optical sensor opposite the surface of the ticket and transporting the light beam directly onto the surface of the ticket. In one example, the present invention can indirectly measure the travel distance by utilizing a contact to follow the displacement of the ticket. In one example, the displacement of the displacement optical sensor can be placed to face the surface of the wheel or the surface of the wheel core and carry the beam onto the measured surface of the wheel. In one example, the displacement of the ticket measured by the displacement optical sensor may correspond to one of the surfaces of the surface of the passive wheel that has touched the portion of the dispensing object during the measurement. In one example, the displacement of the dispensed object (such as a ticket strip) can then be calculated by adjusting the measured values accordingly. In one example, by measuring the perimeter of the surface of the driven wheel, the measurement is allowed to be independent of the feature independence of the wheel. In one example, by measuring the perimeter of the surface of the driven wheel, it is allowed to reduce or eliminate slippage from the dispensing channel and/or the surface of the ticket located in the dispensing channel.

In one example, the bottom side of the dispensing object can be utilized for measuring the distance traveled by the object. In one example, any lateral (side) surface of the dispensing object can be utilized for measuring the travel distance of the object.
一範例中，本發明可藉由令物體(譬如票券條帶)保持總是處於拉張使得與光學感測器相對之物體的表面實質被拉直，藉以在配給物體的表面與位移光學感測器之間維持實質恆定的最適距離。一範例中，本發明可例如藉由具有兩對的驅動軸(其可對於至少一饋送及/或至少一出離滾子以添加或取代方式被利用)來維持拉張，該等兩對的驅動軸係被馬達所驅動並具有一保持恆定的小速度差，以在配給物體上維持所想要的拉張但該拉張未超過會導致穿孔意外撕裂的一特定量。一範例中，位移光學感測器可被定位於兩驅動軸之間。In one example, the present invention can be substantially straightened by causing an object (such as a ticket strip) to remain stretched so that the surface of the object opposite the optical sensor is substantially straightened, thereby imparting a sense of displacement to the surface of the dispensing object. Maintain a substantially constant optimum distance between the detectors. In one example, the present invention can maintain tensioning, for example, by having two pairs of drive shafts that can be utilized in addition or replacement for at least one feed and/or at least one off-roller. The drive shaft is driven by the motor and has a small differential speed that remains constant to maintain the desired tension on the dispensing object without exceeding a specified amount that would result in an accidental tearing of the perforations. In one example, the displacement optical sensor can be positioned between the two drive shafts.
