Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bill validator for use in various kinds of automatic vending machines and ticket machines.

The effect can be used for detecting a faint change in magnetic fields.
  • Etching the above-mentioned multi-layer artificial-lattice MR element forms a circuit configuration as shown in Fig. 3. Namely, coupling two artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B in series, the coupling section is connected to conductive pattern 6A, and both ends are connected to pattern 6B and 6C respectively. Patterns 6A, 6B and 6C are coupled to wiring terminals 8A, 8B and 8C (as shown in Fig. 5) via through-holes 7A, 7B and 7C respectively.
  • a simple circuit configuration can detect changes of magnetic fields, when two artificial-lattice MR elements, 1A and 1B, are arranged so that magnetic media passes in front of each artificial-lattice MR element, sequentially in the order of 1A to 1B.
  • wiring terminal 8 coupled to the artificial-lattice MR element to tap off signals, is disposed on the back of board 2.

  • Fig. 6 shows an assembling view of the magnetic-sensor-assembly.
  • thin resin cap 16 covers an inlet opening 15A of resin case 15 to protect artificial-lattice MR element 1.
  • Cap 16 composed of liquid-crystal-polymer having strong mechanical properties, is strong enough in a reduced thickness of 0.15 mm, with little influence in sensitivity of magnetic-sensor-assembly 27. Since no plating is needed, like metal case, to prevent corrosion or abrasion, cap 16 can be mass-produced by injection mold system in lesser processes.
  • Cap 16 is secured to case 15 when hook 18, formed on case 15, is engaged with hole 17, formed on a sidewall of cap 16, by snap-fit.
  • case 15 and cap 16 are composed of resin, case 15 and cap 16 are easily fixed through one-touch operation due to elastic deformation property. In addition to this, electro-static discharge is suppressed because no exposed electrical live parts exist in the vicinity of bill path way.
  • case 15 When hook 19, formed on case 15, is inserted through hole 21, formed on printed wiring board 20 and on opposite side of opening 15A as well, case 15 is secured to printed wiring board 20 in an elastic deformation condition. Boss 22, integrated at the back of case 15, is secured to printed wiring board 20 using screw 23.

  • Air space 28 is formed between housing 9 and printed wiring board 20.
  • An amplifier the first circuit into which signals tapped off from artificial-lattice MR element 1 feed, is mounted in air space 28. Consequently, reduced wiring length contributes to shield strongly against external noise for faint signal level. Shorter distance from magnetic sensor to circuitry reduces influence of external noise and can contribute to a downsizing of bill validator.
  • Wiring terminal 8 is disposed in groove 26 provided on the side of boss 22 of case 15.
  • magnetic sensor 13 is placed in case 15 covered by cap 16.
  • the cap functions to protect artificial-lattice MR element 1 from outer dust and mechanical impact.

  • wiring terminal 8 being disposed in groove 26 securely, can be easily inserted into printed wiring board 20.
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a bill validator having a magnetic-sensor-assembly 27, described in Figs 4, 5, and 6 with reference to the first exemplary embodiment of the invention.

  • a transportation system comprising pulley 33 and belt 34 is provided with bill pass-way 32.
  • Roller 35 functions to press bill 12.
  • Outlet 36 of bill 12 is provided at an end of bill pass-way 32.
  • Fig. 8 shows a block diagram of the bill validator using magnetic-sensor-assembly 27 disclosed in the first exemplary embodiment.
  • magnetic-sensor-assembly 27 shown in Fig. 8 two artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B, each having almost the same sensitivity, are coupled in series on board 2, and electrically connected to power in one end and to ground in another end.
  • Two artificial-lattice MR elements 1A and 1B are arranged to bill transportation direction in the order of 1A, 1B.
  • pattern 6A coupling section of artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B, is electrically connected to input terminal of amplifier 41.

  • sampling/signal circuit 46 is connected to sample/hold circuit 42 and A/D converter 43.

  • both of artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B sense magnetic field of magnetic features applied on bill 12. Consequently, voltage of coupling section 6A decreases to half value of voltage supply 40 due to reduction in electrical resistance of both of artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B.
  • Voltage of coupling section 6A returns back to initial value (half value of voltage supply 40) due to increase in electrical resistance of both of artificial-lattice MR element 1A and 1B, when magnetic field of magnetic features applied on bill 12 leave away from artificial-lattice MR element 1B.
  • magnetic sensor assembly 27 taps off characteristic signals as shown in Fig. 9.
  • the signal is fed to sample/hold circuit 42 after amplified in amplifier 41.
  • Sample/hold circuit 42 has a purpose to prevent errors in reading in A/D converter 43, as tapped off signal from magnetic sensor assembly 27 has narrow width pulsed wave-shape. Hence, A/D converter 42 can read signals correctly after peak value of the signal is held for a certain period of time in sample/hold circuit 42 as shown in Fig. 10. Sample /hold circuit 42 holds the maximum level of signal. After reading in A/D converter circuit for a certain period of time, the circuit is reset by a signal from sampling circuit 46. The certain period of time for holding the maximum peak value is necessarily longer than sampling interval of A/D converter circuit 43. In Figs. 9 and 10, horizontal axis denotes time (in ms) and vertical axis denotes level (in mV). Subsequently, A/D converter circuit 43 converts magnetic signal of bill into digital signal, and validation circuit 45 determines validity and denomination of bill 12.
