Abstract

Verfahren zum Prüfen von Münzen, die sich entlang einer Laufbahn bewegen, unter Verwendung einer Spulenanordnung die auf jeder Seite der Laufbahn eine mit einem Sendesignal beaufschlagbaren Sendespule C, D und Empfangsspule A, B auf einem gemeinsamen Ferritkern aufweist (Sendespule C und Empfangsspule A auf einer Seite und Sendespule D und Empfangsspule B auf der anderen Seite der Laufbahn), wobei die im Durchmesser kleinere Empfangsspule näher an der Laufbahn liegt als die Sendespule und der Durchmesser der Sendespule kleiner als der Durchmesser der kleinsten anzunehmenden Münze ist und wobei auf dem Ferritkern eine mit der Sendespule gekoppelte Sekundärspule angeordnet ist, deren Signal als Gegenkopplungssignal auf den Eingang eines Differenzverstärkers so geschaltet ist, daß das Signal der Sendespule mit dem auf den anderen Eingang des Differenzverstärkers gegebenen Sendesignal übereinstimmt, wobei
- es werden zeitlich nacheinander mindestens vier Meßzyklen durchlaufen,
- bei denen auf jeder Seite der Laufbahn mit Sende- und Empfangsspule jeweils eine Reflexionsmessung durchgeführt und zwei Transmissionsmessungen durchgeführt werden, wobei bei einer der beiden Transmissionsmessungen die gegenüberliegende Sendespule als Empfangsspule geschaltet wird.

Figure imgaf001
A method of inspecting coins moving along a track using a coil arrangement comprising on each side of the track a transmitting coil C, D and receiving coil A, B on a common ferrite core (transmit coil C and receive coil A on one Side and transmitting coil D and receiving coil B on the other side of the track), wherein the smaller diameter receiving coil is closer to the track than the transmitting coil and the diameter of the transmitting coil is smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin to be accepted and wherein on the ferrite core with a the transmitting coil coupled secondary coil is arranged, whose signal is connected as a negative feedback signal to the input of a differential amplifier so that the signal of the transmitting coil coincides with the given to the other input of the differential amplifier transmit signal, wherein
- There are successively at least four measuring cycles through,
- In which each carried out on each side of the track with transmitting and receiving coil, a reflection measurement and two transmission measurements are performed, wherein in one of the two transmission measurements, the opposite transmitting coil is switched as a receiving coil.
