Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for coin recognition, with a transmitter element for electromagnetic Radiation, with a receiver element for electromagnetic Radiation with which according to the on it radiated an electrical Measurement signal can be generated, the arrangement of the Sender element and the receiver element with the Provided that radiated from the transmitter element electromagnetic radiation on an in a coin placed in a test position and that at least part of one emitted by the coin Reflection radiation from the incident electromagnetic Radiates radiation onto the receiver element, and with one with the receiver element connected electronic evaluation unit, by means of which according to a comparison of that of the receiver element generated and possibly processed electronically electrical measurement signal with a predetermined Comparison signal alternatively a "false" control signal or a "real" control signal can be generated.
- the area of visible light, near UV light and near and far IR light can be used.
- the radiation enters Interaction with the solid.
- Irradiation angle and the dielectric properties of the solid is at least a part, in In the case of total reflection, practically the whole radiated power reflected, the degree of reflection also from the angle of the irradiation to Surface normal of the solid depends. To do this in addition to basic physical publications referred for reflection.
- a device of the above construction is known from the literature DE 195 07 482 A1.
- the device known in this respect becomes visible Light shone onto a surface of a coin and that reflected light with a lens optical system figuratively as an electrical signal or as a data set detected.
- the electrical signal corresponding to an image or its data record is marked with a Reference data record compared and so a comparison between a "target image” and an "actual image”.
- a "false” signal is generated generated.
- the invention is the technical problem based on a device for coin recognition create which is simpler but with high reliability works.
- On Wavelength selective measurement signal can in the receiver element in the way of wavelength selective radiation from the transmitter element and / or the wavelength selective Detection takes place in the receiver unit.
- On Wavelength-selective measurement signal can be on the detection side preserved in various ways become.
- the receiver element can have wavelength-selective sensor or with a a wavelength selective filter upstream of a sensor be equipped. Then the transmitter unit needs not to work wavelength selective. It is also possible, a wavelength selective emitted by the transmitter element electromagnetic radiation too modulate and not by demodulation in one or only slightly wavelength-selective receiver element or in one of these evaluation units a specific assignment to the radiated to hit electromagnetic radiation.
- comparison signal band is a given measurement and Evaluation signal area, in particular a signal intensity area, designated, which is a coin condition "wrong" or “real” is associated with being outside measurement and evaluation signals lying in this signal range assigned to the other coin condition are.

- the comparison signal band or its borders or border areas can be easily experimented with determine real and false coins.
- Sort function corresponding applies to an embodiment with (possibly additional) Sort function.
- the invention is based first on the knowledge that on metallic surfaces not always and regardless of wavelength a real total reflection takes place in the sense that the reflectance is exactly 100% is. Rather, there are various absorption processes instead, these absorption processes depending on the wavelength are. For this, on the one hand responsible for the wavelength dependencies of the dielectric constant the hull material, in particular but also the electronic ones Properties of surface layers, such as Oxide layers. The latter influence the reflectivity to a considerable extent wavelength-dependent, and depending on the chemical composition. The Absorption and consequently also the reflection in a The predetermined wavelength is therefore considerably determined from the coin material.
- a wavelength-selective measurement signal can be obtained if electromagnetic radiation can be emitted in a wavelength-selective manner with the transmitter element and / or electromagnetic radiation can be recorded in a wavelength-selective manner with the receiver element.
- the transmitter element has a luminescent diode.
