Fig. 5 is the second embodiment plan structure synoptic diagram according to bank note safety line of the present invention testing agency.Present embodiment and a last embodiment difference are that the bank note testing agency 3 in the present embodiment also comprises second sensor 32, as shown in the figure, second sensor 32 is parallel to the magnetic head travel direction with first sensor 31 edges, just is arranged side by side along the direction perpendicular to the paper feed passage.
First sensor 31 is exported first signal when detecting bank note, output secondary signal when detecting bank note safety line, and second sensor 32 is exported the 3rd signal when detecting bank note, export the 4th signal when detecting bank note safety line; After control gear received first signal or described the 3rd signal, control bank note conveying mechanism 2 was carried bank note along the paper feed passage, when receiving secondary signal and the 4th signal at the same time bank note was delivered to the precalculated position of safety line aligning magnetic head 111.Wherein, when the time interval of first sensor 31 output secondary signals and second sensor, 32 outputs the 4th signal surpasses the Preset Time interval of delta t, control gear control bank note conveying mechanism 2 withdraws from the entrance of bank note from the bank note safety line pick-up unit along the direction opposite with above-mentioned bank note throughput direction, wherein, this Preset Time interval of delta t is less than or equal to described magnetic head 111 in the size of the bank note throughput direction transporting velocity divided by bank note.
Introduce the present embodiment course of work below.
Bank note vertically is placed on entrance, and this moment, safety line was vertical with the bank note throughput direction.According to the size of first sensor 31 and second sensor, 32 output signals, control gear can judge whether the porch exists bank note or judge the safety line that whether detects bank note.If first sensor 31 and second sensor, 32 output signals are during all less than threshold value 1, just, when not having the output of first to fourth signal, control gear judges that the porch does not have bank note; If any sensor output signal is more than or equal to threshold value 1 in first sensor 31 or second sensor 32, during less than threshold value 2, when just control gear received the first or the 3rd signal, control gear judged that there is bank note in the porch; If first sensor 31 and second sensor, 32 output signals are during all more than or equal to threshold value 2, control gear is judged and is detected bank note safety line.
When control gear judged that there is bank note in the porch, control gear control driving mechanism 23 drove 2 motions of bank note conveying mechanism, carries bank note along the bank note throughput direction.In carrying the process of bank note, when the signal value of first sensor 3 and 32 outputs of second sensor during all greater than threshold value 2, control gear picks up counting, and through after the schedule time, conveying mechanism 2 stops operating.
Need to prove, do not have under the situation about in passage, moving on the bias at bank note, the safety line of bank note is parallel with second sensor, 32 lines with first sensor 31, when the safety line of bank note moves to first sensor 31 and second sensor, 32 surfaces, first sensor 31 and second sensor 32 detect bank note safety line simultaneously, therefore, when the output signal of first sensor 31 and second sensor 32 during simultaneously greater than threshold value 2, control gear picks up counting, behind first schedule time t1, bank note conveying mechanism 2 stops operating, at this moment, the safety line of bank note is over against the center of magnetic head 111, and is identical with first embodiment, and first schedule time t1 is by first sensor 31 determining apart from d1 and bank note transmission speed to magnetic head 111 center line 111a.
Under the situation that bank note moves in passage on the bias, there is angle in the line of the safety line of bank note and first sensor 31 and second sensor 32, and therefore, bank note safety line successively passes through first sensor 31 and second sensor 32.When first sensor 31 and second sensor 32 when exporting signal greater than threshold value 2 in the Δ t successively interval time, control gear picks up counting during greater than the signal of threshold value 2 in back sensor output, behind second schedule time t2, control bank note conveying mechanism 2 stops operating.Second schedule time t2 is by first sensor 31 determining apart from d2 and bank note transmission speed to magnetic head 111 upstream edge 111b.
Export interval time greater than the signal of threshold value 2 successively during greater than Δ t when first sensor 31 and second sensor 32, control gear control conveying mechanism withdraws from bank note along the direction opposite with the bank note throughput direction, just bank note is withdrawed from by entrance.
The setting of Δ t is relevant with the width of magnetic head 111, in theory Δ t smaller or equal to the magnetic head width divided by the bank note transporting velocity.Therefore, in the time of the Δ t+t2 that the safety line that a sensor from bank note testing agency 3 at first detects bank note stops operating to control gear control bank note conveying mechanism 2, the fed distance of bank note arrives magnetic head 111 upstream edge 111b apart from d2 and magnetic head width h sum smaller or equal to first sensor 31, therefore, when bank note stops, even bank note tilts, the safety line that tilts still can be covered by the magnetic head width, thereby guarantee that magnetic head in moving process, can read the full detail of the bank note safety line of inclination.
After bank note conveying mechanism 2 stopped operating, control gear judged according to the signal of the 3rd sensor 161 outputs whether magnetic head is positioned at initial position.When magnetic head is not positioned at initial position, drives magnetic head and move to initial position; When magnetic head was positioned at initial position, the motor 151 of control gear control head driving mechanism 15 rotated, and drive tooth bar 154 and move, thereby it is mobile thereupon to drive magnetic head 111, and in the process that magnetic head 111 moves, magnetic head 111 reads the magnetic data on the bank note safety line.
Control gear is decoded to the magnetic data that magnetic head 111 reads, and decoded information and tentation data compared, if decoded information conforms tentation data, judge that then bank note is genuine note, control gear control driving mechanism 23 drives bank note conveying mechanism 2 and is rotated further, and bank note is sent from outlet; Otherwise control gear judges that bank note is counterfeit money, then controls bank note conveying mechanism 2 backward rotation, and bank note is withdrawed from from entrance.
Present embodiment is compared with a last embodiment, after carrying out the bank note alignment, use two sensors arranged side by side to detect bank note safety line, present embodiment has two big advantages, two sensors arranged side by side detect respectively simultaneously on the one hand, in the time of can avoiding using single-sensor, thereby wrong problem be located in the flase drop survey owing to the bank note local pollution; On the other hand, two sensors arranged side by side simultaneously or interval time Δ t detect bank note safety line, also can avoid because bank note and paper feed passage angle of inclination are excessive, when laterally moving, magnetic head can not read the full detail of bank note safety line, and the erroneous judgement bank note that causes is the problem of counterfeit money, so the bank note safety line that present embodiment provides detects more reliable.
Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram according to first embodiment of bank note safety line detection method of the present invention.The detailed process of this method is as follows:
Step S10, when the bank note safety line of bank note was aimed at magnetic head, control head moved along the bank note safety line bearing of trend, reads magnetic data.
Step S11 judges forge or true or paper money according to the magnetic data that reads.
This process is above having a detailed description, does not repeat them here.Because the step S10 of this method is that control head moves along the bank note safety line bearing of trend, reads magnetic data, makes magnetic head can read the magnetic data of whole bank note safety line for narrower breadth, is conducive to reduce the cost of magnetic checkout equipment.

Step S22, control head moves along the bank note safety line bearing of trend, reads magnetic data.
Step S23 judges forge or true or paper money according to the magnetic data that reads.
Be appreciated that when by step S20 the position probing of bank note safety line being arrived, and when position signalling imported control gear, namely can with the schedule time bank note be delivered to the precalculated position that safety line is aimed at magnetic head at a predetermined velocity by control gear.Can moving head in this position to carry out reading of bank note safety line.
Fig. 8 is the process flow diagram according to the 3rd embodiment of bank note safety line detection method of the present invention.The detailed process of this method is as follows:
Step S30, the position of the bank note safety line of detection bank note.
Step S31 judges that the position of bank note safety line and magnetic head concerns that particularly, can the magnetic head moving process cover whole safety lines.
To such an extent as to when bank note safety line too tilts magnetic head along can't cover whole safety line in the moving process time, enter step S32, the opposite direction of bank note along the bank note throughput direction withdrawed from;
When magnetic head can cover whole safety line in moving process, enter step S33, bank note is delivered to the precalculated position, wherein, in this precalculated position, safety line is aimed at magnetic head.
