Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the state of banknotes.
  • the determination of the state of banknotes is of great importance, since the banknotes are divided on the basis of the determined state into banknotes whose condition is so good that these banknotes are suitable for further circulation, and banknotes whose condition is so bad that these banknotes are no longer suitable for further circulation.
  • the determination of the state of banknotes is usually carried out by means of sensors which record data which represent certain properties of the banknotes to be checked.
  • the state of the banknotes can be determined from the properties, such as dirt, stains, cracks, holes, lumpiness, etc.
  • the state of the bank notes to be checked is determined by comparing threshold values of the data recorded by the sensors for the individual properties. If the recorded data are below the specified threshold values for the individual properties, the condition of the respective banknote is classified as good. If the recorded data is above one or more of the predetermined threshold values, the condition of the respective banknote is classified as bad.
  • the determination of the state of the banknotes is therefore based on an evaluation of the data of each sensor or each property to be checked on its own, ie independently of the data of the other sensors or properties.
  • the determination of the state of banknotes to be checked on the basis of an isolated evaluation of the individual data of each sensor or each property can lead to unsatisfactory results.
  • a banknote has a certain degree of soiling, which, however, is overall below the predefined threshold value for permissible soiling, and if there are also stains on the banknote which in turn are also below the predefined threshold value for permissible stains, the state of the banknote becomes classified as good in the known method and the device.
  • an observer would classify the state of the banknote as bad overall, which is why the determination of the state of the banknote by the known devices and methods is unsatisfactory.
  • the invention is based on a determination of the state of banknotes, in which data from at least two different properties of the banknotes are evaluated, the data of the at least two different properties of each banknote being linked to one another and the state of the banknote from the linked data of different properties is derived.
  • the invention thus has in particular the advantage that by linking the properties which are characteristic of the state of the banknotes, a substantial improvement in the determination of the state is achieved since all the properties which are important for the state of the banknotes are evaluated together, as a result of which overlapping and / or influencing properties are no longer evaluated separately, but are taken into account in determining the state of the banknotes in such a way that they influence the actual appearance of the banknotes.
  • the single figure shows a schematic representation of a principle
  • Construction of a device for determining the condition of banknotes Construction of a device for determining the condition of banknotes.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a basic structure of a device 10 for determining the state of banknotes.
  • the device 10 for determining the state of banknotes is designed as a banknote processing machine and has an input compartment 20 for the input of banknotes 21 to be processed, in which a separator 22 engages.
  • the separator 22 detects one of the banknotes 21 to be processed and transfers the individual banknote to a transport system 23, which transports the individual banknote through a sensor arrangement 30.
  • the sensor arrangement 30 there are sensors 31, 32, 33, for example a first optical sensor 31, which detects light emitted by the bank note, a second acoustic sensor 33, which detects ultrasound signals originating from the bank note, in particular transmitted, and a third opti - Shear sensor 32, which detects light transmitted through the banknote.
  • the sensors 31, 32, 33 carry out measurements for determining the state of the bank notes, in which they record the properties of each individual bank note and generate corresponding data. For this purpose, sensors 31, 32, 33 detect the banknotes with a certain resolution, from which a pixel size results, with which the banknotes are scanned and detected.
  • the sensors 31, 32, 33 and / or a control device 35 form data from the captured pixels of each of the bank notes, which data represent each location on the surface of the respective bank note.
  • the generation of the data can e.g. B. for one side of the banknotes, d. H. for one of the surfaces of the banknotes, both surfaces can also be detected and corresponding data made available.
  • the pages or surfaces of the banknotes are preferably completely recorded and corresponding data is generated for the complete page or surface.
  • the control device 35 uses the data from the sensors 31, 32, 33 to derive properties which are relevant for checking the bank notes. These properties characterize the condition of the banknotes, such as. B. dirt, stains, lobbiness, cracks, adhesive strips, dog ears, holes, missing parts of the banknotes etc.
  • the respective properties can be derived, for example, from the data of one or more of the sensors 31, 32, 33.
  • the data from the sensors 31, 32, 33 are processed in the control device 35 and compared with reference data stored in the control device 35, whereupon the control device 35 determines the state of the banknotes.
  • switches 24, 26 arranged in the transport system 23 are actuated, e.g. B. to store banknotes in good condition in an output compartment 25, whereas banknotes with poor condition can be stored in an output compartment 27 or can be fed via the transport system 23 to a further processing 28, eg. B. the destruction by means of a shredder.
  • the contamination of the banknotes is characterized by the decrease in remission, especially in non-printed areas of the banknotes.
  • a measure of the contamination of the banknotes can thus be derived by the control device 35, for example from the data from the sensor 31.
  • the control device 35 can advantageously form an average for the reflectance values and / or the variance of the reflectance values.
  • Stains on the banknotes can be characterized by their area and / or the color contrast to the background.
  • the area can be determined by the control device 35, for example, by counting the pixels of the sensor 31 covered by spots described above.
  • the limpness of the banknotes is characterized by their flexural rigidity.
  • the limpness can e.g. B. can be determined by evaluating the signals of the ultrasonic sensor 33 by the control device 35, since ultrasound of diffuse banknotes is diffusely scattered.
  • Cracks in the banknotes can be detected by means of the sensor 32, which detects light transmitted through the banknotes.
  • the control device 35 can determine, for example, the number of tears or the total length of the tears from the data of the sensor 32, in particular by counting the pixels.
  • Adhesive strips on the banknotes can be recognized by means of the sensor 31, which detects light emitted by the banknotes, and the acoustic sensor 33 is also suitable.
  • the control device 35 can determine, for example, the number of adhesive strips or the total length or total area of the adhesive strips from the data from the sensor 31 or 33, in particular by counting the pixels.
  • Dog ears in the banknotes can be recognized by means of the sensor 32, which detects light transmitted by the banknotes.
  • the control device 35 can determine, for example, the number of dog ears or the total area of the dog ears from the data of the sensor 32, in particular by counting the pixels.
  • Holes in the banknotes can be detected by means of the sensor 32, which detects light transmitted through the banknotes.
  • the control device 35 can determine, for example, the number of holes or the total area of the holes from the data of the sensor 32, in particular by counting the pixels.
  • Missing parts e.g. B. security thread, hologram, etc.
  • the control device 35 can determine, for example, the number of missing parts or the total area of the missing parts from the data of the sensor or sensors 31, 32, 33.
  • the above-described determination of the state of the banknotes by the control device 35 is brought about by linking two or more of the different properties of the banknotes that have been determined and described in more detail above.
  • the individual different properties are each assigned a specific value that characterizes the state. For example, a certain value is assigned to a certain contamination. The same specific value can also be assigned to one or all other properties, so that z. B. a certain number of stains, a certain limpness, a certain number of tears, adhesive strips, dog ears, holes, missing parts of the banknote, etc. the certain value is assigned.
  • the individual values are linked, for example using a linear combination.
  • the control device 35 compares the linear combination of the properties characterizing the state of the banknotes with a predetermined value and decides, for example, whether the state of the banknotes is good or bad, ie whether they are fit for circulation or not. This ensures that a banknote that already has a has considerable pollution, but this would not in itself lead to the fact that the condition of the banknote would be determined as bad, is determined as bad if the banknote is additionally z. B. also has only a few stains and / or cracks, etc.
  • an evaluation of the overall state of a certain quantity of banknotes is also possible.
  • an average is formed from the linear combinations determined for the different properties.
  • an average value can be formed for each or certain of the different properties of the specific quantity of bank notes, which then describes the state of this property for the specific quantity of bank notes. This can be of interest to a national bank, for example, because it allows an overview of the overall condition or the condition of certain properties of the circulating banknotes to be obtained.
  • the z. B. determine the presence of staples or the amount of inserted bundle of banknotes 21.
  • the height of the bundle after the bundle has been processed by the bank note processing machine 10, i. H. when the number of banknotes 21 in the bundle is fixed, the height of the bundle determined in the input compartment 20 is compared with a height to be expected for the number of banknotes 21 forming the bundle.
  • the height comparison can of course be carried out before the banknotes 21 are processed.
  • the expected height can be determined by the control device 35 by multiplying the number of banknotes 21 by the known thickness of fit banknotes. Is the height measured in the input compartment 20 z. B. greater than the height determined from the number of banknotes 21, it can be concluded that the condition of the banknotes 21 is bad, z. B. that the banknotes 21 are lobed.
  • the invention has been described with the aid of a banknote processing machine, but it is obvious that the invention can be used wherever banknotes have to be assessed with regard to their condition, e.g. B. also in money deposits and withdrawals, so-called recyclers.
  • the device according to the invention has a different structure.
  • a control device can be provided in each sensor.
  • the data of the individual sensors are linked in one of the control devices of the sensors or in a central control device.
