Description

Sensor for verifying valuable file
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sensor for verifying valuable file and method and one has this The equipment of sensor.
Background technology
Generally use sensor check value document, determine the type of value document by them, and/or Authenticity and/or its state by they verifying valuable files.This sensor is such as used for checking paper money Ticket, check, certificate, credit card, cheque card, ticket, reward voucher etc..Value document is at value document In processing equipment, inspection, according to value document characteristic to be checked, comprises one or more difference in equipment Sensor.For verifying valuable file, they are commonly angled relative to sensor movement, wherein, or have valency File is conveyed through by sensor, or vice versa.
Value document to be checked can have declining of one or more fluorescent materials, the most such as inspection fluorescence Subtract time and/or spectral characteristic.The fluorescent material of value document may reside in the local of value document or whole On individual area.In order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, it is known that use light pulsing light value document, and Dark phase between light pulse, the value document fluorescence that detection bright pulse terminates rear different time is strong Degree.Shortcoming here is, due to the relative fortune between pulsed illumination and sensor with value document Dynamic, the inspection of value document is carried out by phased manner.Because dark phase causes value document optical excitation Periodic interruptions, so just not carrying out fluorescent inspection at spacing intervals along value document.
It is furthermore well known that value document to be checked illuminates with exciting light in a position of its transport path, And by the detector inspection being arranged on having with a certain distance from lighting device on transport path follow-up location Survey the fluorescence of value document.If here employing two-dimensional image sensor is as detector, then by fluorescence edge Value document direction of motion decay spatially, it may be determined that the die-away time of value document fluorescence.? It is a disadvantage here that, in the case of value document movement velocity is relatively low, use this method can only determine have Number range die-away time of limit.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved is to provide the sensor of a kind of verifying valuable file, with it Also can be the declining of verifying valuable file fluorescence in bigger die-away time number range when movement velocity is relatively low Subtract the time.
This technical problem is solved by the technical theme of independent claims.Illustrate in the dependent claims Favourable the developing further and design of the present invention.
By sensor of the invention be designed for check sensor measurement graphic memory value document. For verifying valuable file, value document moves relative to each other with sensor, makes value document along the side of moving To relative to sensor movement.Here, value document generally along the direction of motion by static sensor Carry along it or through it.But alternately, sensor can also be defeated relative to static value document Send, or both can carry.Sensor is provided for the fluorescence decay time of verifying valuable file.? Here, based on the fluorescence signal of sensor detector, die-away time is checked.Sensor can only use The value document that sensor is other it is conveyed through one by one but it also may inspection includes multiple value document in inspection Paper or there is the continuous web of multiple value document along the direction of motion.Such as sensor is also applied for inspection Test the web being made up of the value document not yet completed, in order that in value document production process just Checked.
Sensor has lighting device, and it measures a section of plane for illumination sensor, has made valency literary composition Part is when it is relative to sensor movement, and be excited in the described section measuring plane optical illumination.Additionally, Sensor has the detector of multiple detection fluorescence, and fluorescence is worked as its phase by the value document illuminated with exciting light For sending at the different detecting areas measuring plane during sensor movement.The detecting area of the detector of sensor The direction of motion along value document offsets one from another arrangement.The section of illumination and the detecting area of detector position respectively Put in the measurement plane being securely in sensor.The exciting light of lighting device is designed for so exciting and wants The fluorescence of the value document of inspection, makes value document launch the fluorescence that can be detected by detector.
First detector of sensor is provided for producing the first fluorescence signal of the first detecting area, and first visits Survey district overlapping with the section of illumination in measuring plane.Described first fluorescence signal is equivalent in the first detection The fluorescence of detection in district.Second detector of sensor is provided for producing at the second of detecting area above Fluorescence signal, this detecting area is observed along the value document direction of motion and is in the first detection in measuring plane Qu Qian.Described second fluorescence signal is equivalent at the described fluorescence of detection in detecting area above.Along fortune Dynamic direction is observed, and the length of the section of illumination is preferably greater than or equal to the length of the first detecting area.
Additionally, sensor preferably also has the 3rd detector, it is provided for producing detecting area subsequently 3rd fluorescence signal.This detecting area subsequently is observed along the direction of motion and is in the first detection in measuring plane Qu Hou.Described 3rd fluorescence signal is equivalent to the fluorescence of detection in detecting area subsequently.3rd detector Allow sensor can determine long die-away time more accurately.But sensor may be designed in does not has the 3rd Detector.By a kind of embodiment, described detecting area subsequently is observed along the direction of motion and is in the first detector It is the most remote afterwards, so that it is not overlapping with the illumination section measuring plane.
For verifying valuable file, flat illumination section is measured in continuous illumination, and while illumination by The fluorescence of detector continuous probe value document.Thus, with stagger spy by pulsed illumination with for this time The inspection surveyed is contrary, can verifying valuable file incessantly.Spectral filtering is the most generally set Device, it stop lighting device exciting light, in order to will not together detect be scattered on value document swash Luminous.
Additionally, sensor can also have one or more other detector, they are respectively arranged to Produce another fluorescence signal of another detecting area.The one or more other detecting area is along there being valency The file direction of motion observe measure in plane be in described after detecting area above and the first detecting area Before.Alternatively it is also possible to be used for checking die-away time by the fluorescence signal of described other detector.For The ratio of this fluorescence signal that can set up one of other detector the most respectively and the first fluorescence signal is closed System.Also it is favourable for being used for the fluorescence signal of one of other detector checking die-away time, because serving as reasons This can check more accurately or determine die-away time.First, second and the most other detector with And the 3rd detector can such as be consisted of one-dimensional or two-dimentional photodetector array if desired.
Sensor is set to, use under certain conditions the second fluorescence signal and sensor at least one its The die-away time of the fluorescence signal verifying valuable file fluorescence of its detector.Other its fluorescence signal described The detector being used in conjunction with the second fluorescence signal, the e.g. first detector or sensor above-mentioned additionally One of detector.Can the most clearly give the fluorescence signal of the second fluorescence signal He other detector It is used in the condition of inspection die-away time.
But sensor it can also be provided that, these conditions can be adjusted after sensor is devoted oneself to work.Use The fluorescence signal of the second fluorescence signal and other detector checks the condition of die-away time, can include inspection The measuring condition of value document and/or the characteristic of value document to be checked itself, the class of such as value document Type.Such as, for this value document that expection die-away time of its fluorescence is shorter than the die-away time of regulation, The fluorescence signal of the second fluorescence signal and at least one of other detector of sensor can be used, especially Second and first fluorescence signal, or second and other detector at least one fluorescence signal check Die-away time.The selection of fluorescence signal being based on inspection die-away time, to a certain extent can be Line is carried out, such as by the information only just known in the range of value document inspection.
Preferably, sensor is set to, based on the first and second fluorescence signals, and verifying valuable file The die-away time of fluorescence.This outer sensor may be configured as, by selecting with the first and second fluorescence signals as base Plinth, or by first and the 3rd based on fluorescence signal, the die-away time described in inspection.Select first and the Two or select first and the 3rd fluorescence signal, can there is valency literary composition according to measuring condition and/or according to be checked The characteristic of part is carried out.This outer sensor it can also be provided that, by select with the first and second fluorescence signals be Basis, or by first and the 3rd based on fluorescence signal, or with first and second and the 3rd fluorescence signal Based on, the die-away time of verifying valuable file fluorescence.
Can be that sensor provides about value document relative to the information of the movement velocity of sensor.Example As, the movement velocity of value document can be adjusted in sensor.The relevant use when verifying valuable file The information of movement velocity, it is also possible to such as by wherein equipped with the equipment of sensor from outside input sensing Device.This can complete before value document is checked.Sensor can also obtain reality the most online The movement velocity on border, or such as obtained by the equipment also controlling value document motion and to be checked have valency literary composition The period of motion of part.The movement velocity of value document can be by one or more diaphragms according to value document Motion determine.Diaphragm can before in equipment, transport path along value document is located at sensor and/ Or afterwards.Here, movement velocity can be according to two light of the layout that keeps at a certain distance away along transport path The time interval of signal of door screen determines, such as by the time interval at value document edge or signal other Structure.But movement velocity can also such as by one by induction system, by value document, pass through Paper or determined by web synkinetic wheel mechanism formula.
But can also be designed for determining the movement velocity of value document by sensor of the invention itself.Example As, for this can in sensor integrated one or more diaphragms.Such as, sensor is for this purpose along defeated Sending path to have a diaphragm before the detecting area of detector, the fluorescence signal of detecting area is used in by sensor Check die-away time, and an aperture arrangement is after this.Therefore at diaphragm in the case of known, Can according to value document edge time away from or other structure of diaphragm signal determine movement velocity.There iing valency When known or a kind of structure of value document the length of file size is known, it is also possible to according to unique sensor The signal of diaphragm determines movement velocity.
But the fluorescence signal that the movement velocity of value document can also be detected by sensor determines.Such as, Movement velocity can be believed as the fluorescence of the function detection of time by least two in detector by comparing Number determine, such as by comparing the fluorescence signal of first and second detector.This offer fluorescence that compares is believed Number time away from, owing to detector offsets in position along the direction of motion, thus by now away from detection fluorescence letter Number.Here, can such as use some structure of fluorescence signal time away from, value document leading edge or after The increase of the fluorescence signal detected at edge or decay.According to measure time away from detector along conveying direction The space known offsets, it may be determined that the movement velocity of each value document.Known in value document length or have When the length of a kind of structure of value document is known, it is also possible to according to the fluorescence signal of the unique detector of sensor Determine movement velocity.
Sensor is particularly arranged to, relative to each other according to value document and sensor when verifying valuable file The movement velocity of motion selects the fluorescence signal for checking fluorescence decay time.Such as sensor is arranged For, if less than the First Speed threshold value of movement velocity, then check based on the first and second fluorescence signals The die-away time of fluorescence.If additionally, being higher than the second speed threshold value of movement velocity, then with first and the 3rd Checking the die-away time of fluorescence based on fluorescence signal, wherein second speed threshold value is more than or equal to the first speed Degree threshold value.If additionally, between first and second threshold speed, then can be with first, second, and third The die-away time of fluorescence is checked based on fluorescence signal.In order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, sensor example As set up the proportionate relationship of the second and first fluorescence signal and/or the 3rd and first the ratio of fluorescence signal close System.Each proportionate relationship can such as with one or more threshold ratio relatively, it is therefore an objective to whether inspection die-away time It is shorter than or exceedes the time of regulation, or be in the time window of regulation.
By a kind of embodiment, the first detector has a kind of spectral response, this spectral response and second The spectral response of detector and different from the spectral response of the 3rd detector.The spectrum of the first detector Sensitiveness with second and the 3rd the difference of spectral response of detector be, can or by the first detection Device, or respectively the most both by second also by the 3rd detector, detect that value document to be checked adds, It is in from its die-away time by the transmitting light in the different spectral regions of the fluorescence of sensor check.It declines with inspection The fluorescence subtracting the time is compared, and additional light of launching may be at the spectral regions that wavelength is longer or wavelength is shorter In.Such as, additional transmitting light with the first detector detection, and can only pass through second and the 3rd detector All can not separately detect additional transmitting light.Alternately, additional transmitting light can only be respectively with the second He 3rd detector detection, and additional transmitting light can not be detected by the first detector.In order to obtain detection The spectral response that device is different, it is possible to use different types of detector, but the first detector can also make With from second and the 3rd different spectral filter of being used of detector.Additional transmitting light can be equally A kind of fluorescence of value document.
That add, for its inspection, the transmitting light of sensor is set, can be a kind of by checking its fluorescence decay The transmitting light that the same value document of time sends.Here, such as one region of verifying valuable file Additional emission light, this region is in outside the value document region that value document sends above-mentioned fluorescence. The two value document region of value document can be the value document district being separated from each other or partly overlap. But in the case of the most that, outside overlay region, preferably check the die-away time of fluorescence.But additional sends out Penetrating light can also be that different other of that value document being examined the die-away time from its fluorescence has valency The transmitting light of file.
In measuring plane, preferably so overlapping with the section of illumination at detecting area above to work as inspection When testing value document, only illuminate with exciting light in the subregion of detecting area above, see along the direction of motion Examine this subregion and be in detecting area terminal above.In the subregion that detecting area above is illuminated Observe from detecting area center above or from after detecting area center above along the direction of motion Individual position extends to the terminal at detecting area above.Along the direction of motion, from detecting area above Top until center, in measuring plane, between detecting area above and the section of illumination, there is not weight Folded.Preferably, in the subregion that detecting area above is illuminated, it is included in detection above by area Between the 20% to 50% of district.
By a kind of embodiment, the first detecting area is so overlapping with the section of illumination in measuring plane so that Only illuminate the subregion of the first detecting area when value document is checked with exciting light, see along the direction of motion Examining, this subregion is in the top of the first detecting area.Observe along the direction of motion, the center of illumination section Such as before being positioned at the first detecting area.The subregion that first detecting area is illuminated, sees along the direction of motion Examine, preferably extend to the center of the first detecting area from the top of the first detecting area.Here, edge The direction of motion, measure in plane from the center of the first detecting area until from the terminal of the first detecting area not with Illumination area overlapping.In the present embodiment, in all detecting areas, the first detecting area measure in plane with Illuminated section is overlapping at most.Preferably, area is pressed at least in the subregion that the first detecting area is illuminated Including the first detecting area 30%.Especially, the first detecting area is so overlapping with the section of illumination so that The first detecting area substantially having half when verifying valuable file is excited optical illumination.
Additionally, the present invention relates to a kind of equipment, it be designed for application by the present invention for verifying valuable The sensor of file.This equipment can be that the value document inspection of a kind of verifying valuable genuineness of document sets Value document standby, a kind of is stored in equipment or processor, and it can check and can sort if desired valency literary composition Part.
In addition a kind of method that the invention still further relates to verifying valuable file, comprises the following steps: value document Move relative to each other, at this for verifying valuable file with the sensor being provided for verifying valuable file In value document along the direction of motion relative to sensor with relative to illuminated section movement.By illumination Device illumination sensor measures a section of plane, thus at value document relative to sensor with relative When illuminated section movement, in the section that this is illuminated, illuminate value document with exciting light.Sensing Device has the detector of multiple detection fluorescence, and fluorescence is being measured plane not by the value document illuminated with exciting light Send in same detecting area.Then, based on the fluorescence signal of detector, verifying valuable file glimmering The die-away time of light.The detecting area of detector offsets one from another arrangement along the direction of motion of value document.Visiting Surveying in step, the first detector produces the first fluorescence signal of the first detecting area, and the first detecting area is being measured In plane overlapping with illuminated section, and second glimmering at detecting area above of the second detector generation Optical signal, this detecting area is observed along the direction of motion before being in the first detecting area in measuring plane.
Additionally, in detection steps, the 3rd detector can produce the 3rd fluorescence letter of detecting area subsequently Number, this detecting area is observed along the direction of motion after being in the first detecting area in measuring plane.It is similar to pass The feature that they are designed by other sensor tip of sensor, can implement corresponding in the present inventive method Method step.
Relative motion between sensor and value document to be checked can be implemented by the said equipment.Its Remaining method step can be implemented by the sensor.Lighting device can be the part of sensor. Die-away time can be checked by sensor itself.But alternately, the inspection of die-away time can also be Sensor external is implemented.

Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 a-c schematically illustrates the sensor 100 structure (x-z-plane) for verifying valuable file.There is valency File W moves and meanwhile through sensor 100 along direction of motion T-phase for sensor 100 Measure plane E.In here value document plane is generally in measurement plane E of sensor 100.For Verifying valuable file, it moves through the illumination section B measuring plane E, in illumination section B, The exciting light of the lighting device 8 of sensor 100 is radiated in measurement plane, sees Fig. 1 a.Exciting light Light path guides optical splitter 6 from lighting device 8 through lens 9, and it makes a part of exciting light turn to and swash Luminous sensing through another lens 7 from optical splitter 6 measures plane E.The exciting light of lighting device 8 has made The fluorescence of value document W is gone out by optical excitation, and such as may be at ultraviolet, visible ray or infrared In the spectral regions of line.Lamp, one or more light emitting diode or one can be such as used as lighting device Or multiple laser instrument.
This outer sensor is possibly together with multiple detectors 1,2,3, and they can such as be arranged on common support On 4.Can such as use single photodiode or single phototransistor as detector, but be This can also use photodetector row or 2 D photoelectric detector array, and their each element is constituted to be visited Survey device.Each detector is designed for detecting the fluorescence of value document, and it may be at ultraviolet, visible In light or ultrared spectral regions.Detector can be provided with spectral filter (not shown), and it suppresses illumination The spectral region of light and/or can only be through fluorescence to be detected.Detector detection is by each of each detector It is in the fluorescence that the detecting area measured in plane E sends.Therefore the first detector 1 detects by the first detection The fluorescence that district D1 sends, the second detector 2 detects by the fluorescence sent at detecting area D2 above, Before detecting area D2 above is in the first detecting area D1 along direction of motion T of value document, and 3rd detector 3 detects the fluorescence sent by detecting area D3 subsequently, and detecting area D3 subsequently is along having After direction of motion T of value document W is in the first detecting area D1, see Fig. 1 b.Each detecting area D1-D3 Fluorescence assembled by lens 7, through optical splitter 6 and pass through lens 5, focus on each detector 1-3 On.
By value document W moving along direction of motion T, not only it is exactly in illumination section B That value document district sends fluorescence, and also sends along direction of motion T connected value document district Fluorescence.First detecting area D1 and orientating as at detecting area D2 above, makes they and illumination section B Partly overlap.Detecting area D3 subsequently is in outside illumination section B in this example, sees Fig. 1 c.? During value document W moves relative to sensor 100, the fluorescence of value document W such as has whole By detector 1,2,3 continuous probe on value document W.
Fig. 2 a represents the top view (x-y plane) of measurement plane E of sensor 100, and thus top view can To find out the relative placement of illumination section B and detecting area D1, D2, D3.Illumination section B and detection The shape of district D1, D2, D3 can be arbitrary.The shape of illumination section B is rectangle in this example, And the shape of detecting area D1, D2, D3 is circular.Section B and the first detecting area D1 is first in illumination In subregion D10 illuminated for detecting area D1 overlapping, and with at detecting area D2 above in institute State in subregion D20 illuminated for detecting area D2 above overlapping.Value document W is along moving Direction T (x direction) moves through the part of measurement plane E represented in Fig. 2 a.
During value document W moves through measurement plane E of sensor 100 along direction of motion T, The fluorescence intensity that detector 1,2,3 continuous probe is sent by value document W.In Fig. 3 a-d respectively Mark and draw fluorescence intensity L of continuous probe, as the position being parallel to value document W direction of motion T The function of coordinate x.Here, fluorescence intensity is standardized by maximum of intensity at that time or scale table Show.As long as it is desirable that the value document district uniformly sending fluorescence move through detecting area D1, D2, D3, is the most always to maintain identical by the fluorescence intensity marked and drawed in Fig. 3 a-d of detector 1,2,3 detection.
Additionally, be painted with detecting area D1-D3 and illumination district at corresponding x position respectively above Fig. 3 a-d Section B.Fig. 3 a and 3c represents movement velocity v at value document WgFluorescence intensity in the case of relatively low, Fig. 3 b and 3d represents high movement velocity vhIn the case of fluorescence intensity.Fig. 3 a and 3d marks and draws respectively Fluorescence intensity L of " slowly " fluorescent material, its fluorescence intensity has longer τ die-away timel, at figure Marking and drawing fluorescence intensity L of " soon " fluorescent material in 3b and 3c respectively, its fluorescence intensity has shorter τ die-away timek.In the case of all of four kinds, detect the highest fluorescence at the first detecting area D1 Intensity.Above and can detecting area D2 and D3 subsequently detect maybe can detect great Fluorescence intensity, depends on die-away time and the movement velocity of value document W of fluorescence.
For two kinds of different movement velocitys v in Fig. 4 a-cgAnd vh, represent the glimmering of the first detector 1 The fluorescence signal S3 of optical signal S1, the fluorescence signal S2 of the second detector 2 and the 3rd detector 3 divides Not and the relation of fluorescence decay time τ.There is τ die-away timel" slowly " fluorescence and harmonic motion speed vgIn the case of (situation shown in Fig. 3 a), the first detector 1 (the first detecting area D1) and the 3rd detector 3 (detecting area D3 subsequently) detect strong fluorescence signal S1 or S3, see Fig. 4 a and 4b.Otherwise, The fluorescence signal S2 of the second detector 2 (the detecting area D2 above) is the least, sees Fig. 4 c.This In the case of, in order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, the fluorescence letter of use first and the 3rd detector 1,3 Number S1 and S3.Can such as set up proportionate relationship S3/S1 for this purpose, can check based on this and The die-away time of fluorescence can be determined when needed clearly, see Fig. 5 a.
There is τ die-away timel" slowly " fluorescence and high movement velocity vhIn the case of (shown in Fig. 3 d Situation) and there is τ die-away timek" soon " fluorescence and high movement velocity vhIn the case of (Fig. 3 b institute Situation about showing), the first detector 1 (the first detecting area D1) and the 3rd detector 3 (detecting area D3 subsequently) Detect strong fluorescence signal S1 or S3, see Fig. 4 a and 4b.Otherwise, the second detector 2 is (front The detecting area D2 in face) fluorescence signal S2 the least, see Fig. 4 c.In order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, The most also use first and fluorescence signal S1 and S3 of the 3rd detector 1,3.For this mesh , can such as set up proportionate relationship S3/S1, can check based on this and when needed can be clear and definite Ground determines the die-away time of fluorescence, sees Fig. 5 a.
There is τ die-away timek" soon " fluorescence and harmonic motion speed vgIn the case of (shown in Fig. 3 c Situation), the first detector 1 (the first detecting area D1) detects strong fluorescence signal S1, sees Fig. 4 a. But the fluorescence signal S3 of the 3rd detector 3 (detecting area D3 subsequently) is little to neglecting in this case Slightly, Fig. 4 b is seen.Otherwise, the second detector 2 (the detecting area D2 above) is glimmering in this case Optical signal S2 is strong, sees Fig. 4 c.In order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, use in this case One and second fluorescence signal S1 and S2 of detector 1,2.For this purpose it is proposed, ratio of can such as setting up is closed It is S2/S1, can check and can determine clearly when needed the die-away time of fluorescence based on this, See Fig. 5 b.
Relatively low or be in two kinds of movement velocitys vgAnd vhBetween middle motion speed in the case of, Can also be by the die-away time of all of three fluorescence signals S1, S2 and S3 inspection fluorescence.Now example As about the same in τ die-away timekAnd τlτ die-away time of mean value, at all three detector 1,2 Obvious fluorescence signal S1, S2, S3 is all caused in 3.Such as in certain midrange velocity envelope, Can be by all of three fluorescence signals S1, S2 and S3 inspection τ die-away time, such as by setting up Two proportionate relationships S3/S1 and S2/S1, and can be by the first and second fluorescence letters when relatively low velocity Number S1, S2 inspection.
Detector 1,2 can have similar or identical spectral response with 3.But in following enforcement In example, the first detector 1 has the spectral response different from the second detector 2 and the 3rd detector 3, the The spectral response of two detectors 2 and the 3rd detector 3 is the most approximately the same.Visit covering all three Surveying in the common spectral regions of device 1,2,3, the change of their spectral sensitivity curves preferably at least approximates Identical.The spectral response different by the first detector 1 can realize, and sensor 100 declines except inspection Subtract and the additional transmitting light of value document W outside time τ, can also be detected, such as by being different from its die-away time of τ The fluorescence that the another kind of fluorescent material of the fluorescence being examined causes.Here, preferably when not occurring that it is decayed Between τ be examined fluorescence value document region in detection add transmitting light.
In the first modification of this embodiment, its spectral response is used to cover the of additional spectral regions One detector 1, the second detector 2 and the 3rd detector 3 both of which do not cover the spectral regions that this is additional.
