Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description, and it should be noted that any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below can be used to form a new embodiment without conflict.
As shown in fig. 1 to 14, there is provided a sheet number detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the steps of:
s101, stacking a plurality of sheets 30 on the holder 10, and forming a stacked sheet set having a step portion, and stacking a plurality of sheets 30 on the holder 10, and forming a stacked sheet set having a step portion specifically include: a plurality of sheets of paper 30 are stacked on the holder 10 and the stacked sheet set has a stepped through-hole or a stepped edge. It is to be understood that the stacking of the plurality of sheets 30 on the support 10 includes: the sheets are previously stacked and then placed on the support, or the sheets 30 are stacked directly on the support 10.
Specifically, a plurality of paper sheets 30 with different sizes of the openings 31 are stacked on the support 10 in a manner that the sizes of the openings 31 are sequentially increased or decreased, or a plurality of paper sheets 30 are stacked on the support 10 in a staggered manner in a stepped or inverted stepped manner at one side edge, and a jig can be used in the process of specifically placing the paper sheets 30;
s102, using the light emitter 21 to emit light toward the step portion along the direction in which the sheets 30 are stacked, specifically, using the light emitter 21 to emit light toward the open hole 31 of the sheet 30 or the stepped edge of the sheet 30 or the reverse stepped edge of the sheet 30 in a manner perpendicular to the direction in which the sheets 30 are stacked.
And S103, receiving the emitted light by using the light receiver 22, specifically, receiving the light irradiated by the light emitter 21 reflected by the paper 30 by using the light receiver 22, or receiving the light emitted by the light emitter 21 and transmitted through the paper 30 by using the light receiver 22.
S104, calculating the number of the sheets 30 according to the light received by the light receiver 22, specifically, when the number of the sheets 30 is reduced, collecting the luminous flux formed by the light on the light emitter 21 and the luminous flux formed by the light on the light receiver 22 by the processor 40, and calculating the number of the output sheets 30, where the light emitter 21 and the light receiver 22 in this embodiment are collectively referred to as the optical sensor 20, since the external natural light entering the area of the optical sensor 20 may affect the detection of the luminous flux, for this, the light with a specific wavelength may be selected as the emission light, in this embodiment, the emission light is light with a specific wavelength, and the emission light may be red light (infrared light) or green light or blue light or ultraviolet light.
By selecting light rays (such as infrared light) with specific wavelengths as emission light rays, compared with the natural light in which only light rays (such as infrared light) with specific wavelengths can interfere detection, the interference amount of the natural light can be greatly reduced; meanwhile, the luminous flux of the light (infrared light) with a specific wavelength of the optical sensor 20 is properly increased, so that the interference amount in the natural light is far smaller than the luminous flux of the optical sensor 20, and at the moment, the interference can be ignored.
The core of the method for detecting the number of sheets of paper provided by the embodiment of the invention is to use the optical sensor 20 to detect the change of the light flux by the processor 40 to judge the number of sheets of paper 30. Specifically, the light emitter 21 emits light to the sheet 30, the light passes through the step portion of the sheet 30, part of the light is blocked, and the light receiver 22 receives the light irradiated from the light emitter 21 reflected by the sheet 30; or the light is transmitted through the sheet 30 directly to the light receiver 22 for receiving the transmitted light. By designing the sheets 30, the processor 40 detects a change in the amount of light flux when the number of sheets 30 changes, and the number of sheets 30 is converted from the change in the amount of light flux.
In this embodiment, calculating the number of the sheets 30 according to the light received by the light receiver 22 specifically includes: according to the formula
