Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for checking a coin according to claim 1.
  • So-called bicolor coins which consist of an inner core and an outer ring surrounding the core, have been in use around the world for a long time.
  • the core and outer ring are made from various metallic materials.
  • Out DE 10 2010 013 148 It is also known to add an additional material component to the coin in the form of a central ring.
  • the middle ring which is made from a polymer or a composite material, is electrically insulating and firmly connected to the outer ring and core.
  • the testing of bimetal coins is mainly carried out using electromagnetic measuring methods. It has been found that the contact resistance between the core and the outer ring, for example due to corrosion, leads to a falsification of the measurement results. The greater the potential differences for the metals or alloys used, the stronger the falsification effect.
  • the middle ring should consist of a transparent, semitransparent, opalescent and / or color effect-producing material.
  • the width of the middle ring is given as preferably between 0.5mm and 3mm.
  • a coin is described that can be easily detected with the aid of optical arrangements.
  • the invention is also based on the object of specifying a method with which the coins having a central ring can be detected in a simple and effective manner.
  • the coin according to claim 1 is characterized in that the middle ring is permeable to electromagnetic waves of a first wavelength range and / or less permeable or impermeable to a second wavelength range.
  • the number of light barrier signals or the number of light barrier interruptions can be counted for the middle ring.
  • the individual times of light interruption or light permeability can be recorded in the form of signal changes or signal durations.
  • the presence of the transparent or translucent ring can be detected from the signal sequence, and the individual widths of the outer ring, the translucent middle ring and the metallic core can be determined from the recorded times.
  • the material of the middle ring is transparent to the visible wavelength range.
  • the material of the middle ring is transparent to the invisible wavelength range.
  • the material of the middle ring is translucent for the visible and invisible wavelength range and impermeable for one or certain Wavelength ranges of visible or invisible light, especially for the IR range. The latter embodiment of the invention is particularly preferred. The reason is that presence light barriers in coin checking devices normally work with IR light.
  • the middle ring is made of transparent material, but is not transparent to IR light
  • the sensor arrangement which is sensitive to both IR light and visible light, responds differently when a coin moves through the optical arrangement and the sensor arrangement is irradiated free of obstacles or not free of obstacles.
  • the material of the middle ring is translucent for the visible wavelength range and impermeable for at least one specific wavelength range of visible light.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the material of the middle ring is translucent for the invisible wave range and permeable for at least one specific wave range of visible light.
  • the middle ring has a different reflection factor than the core or the outer ring.
  • the reflection properties of the coin surfaces can also be determined with the help of an optical Detect the arrangement if it is different from that of the outer ring or the core.
  • the middle ring can reflect more strongly than the core or the outer ring.
  • additional optically detectable properties of the middle ring can be detected with the aid of a suitable optical arrangement, for example color pigments, UV stabilizers, fluorescent or holographic particles, etc.
  • the method for testing a coin with a central ring made of electrically insulating material is based on an optical arrangement through which the coins move and generate a signal that is evaluated in an evaluation device to generate a real or false signal.
  • the coins are irradiated by at least one optical transmitter, and an optical arrangement receives the light passing through it from the central ring, and an evaluation device generates a signal when the coins are moved through the sensor arrangement. If the material of the middle ring is transparent, for example, light in the visible wavelength range is allowed to pass through the middle ring and can strike the sensor arrangement and generate a corresponding signal there.
  • a signal can also be generated when invisible light from the light source or the optical sensor passes through the material of the middle ring and strikes the sensor arrangement.
  • a light barrier transverse to the direction of travel of the coin can be provided and the evaluation device counts the number of signal changes when the coin passes through the light barrier, whereby at the same time the individual times of light interruption or light transmission are recorded over the signal duration.
  • the evaluation device analyzes the signal from the sensor arrangement and generates a real signal when the spectrum of the received light corresponds to the material of the middle ring of a real coin. If, for example, white light is generated by the optical sensor, a spectral analysis on the side of the sensor arrangement can be used to determine whether the spectrum of the light transmitted corresponds to that which is usually caused by the material of the middle ring of a real coin. Under certain circumstances, it is determined from the analysis whether the light from the optical transmitter has an invisible component or not, in order to check, for example, whether the material of the middle ring is impermeable to the invisible light.
  • the sensor arrangement is sensitive to at least one limited wave range. According to another embodiment of the invention, the sensor arrangement is sensitive to a wavelength range of visible light. Alternatively, the sensor arrangement can be sensitive to a wavelength range of invisible light. According to another embodiment of the invention, the sensor arrangement is sensitive to a wavelength range of visible and a wavelength range of invisible light.
  • the sensor arrangement contains at least one sensor element, for example in the form of a phototransistor.
  • two or more sensors can also be provided.
  • an area or line sensor for this purpose, a light source is used, for example, on one side of the coin channel, which emits light of the transparent and blocked wavelength range, for example white light.
  • a light-sensitive area or line sensor On the opposite side there is a light-sensitive area or line sensor.
  • This sensor is preferably at least as wide as the width of the central ring of the coin. As a rule, this ring width will be 1.0mm to 1.5mm.
  • the light-sensitive sensor arrangement is designed in such a way that it detects the two wavelength ranges, namely that of the permeable light and also that of the blocked wavelength range, or visible and invisible light. In the idle state, the sensor arrangement detects both wavelength ranges because there is no object between the transmitter and the receiver. If, on the other hand, the coin with the middle ring rolls past the sensor arrangement, all wavelengths are initially blocked by the metallic outer ring. If the special material of the middle ring passes the sensor arrangement, only the blocked wavelength range is absorbed, eg the IR range and not the other wavelengths. This is then an evaluable feature that is used to check or discriminate against the coins. If, in the process described, the core moves past the sensor arrangement, all wavelengths are blocked again. Then the middle ring on the sensor arrangement is passed at a second point and finally the second side of the metallic outer ring.
  • the size of the entire irradiated area can be determined, as well as the width of the individual components of the outer ring and core.
  • the signals from the sensor arrangement are used to determine the mechanical dimensions of the coins, in particular the width of the outer ring, the width of the middle ring, the diameter of the core and the diameter of the coin.
  • the simplest optical arrangement for checking the three-part coins can consist of a single light path.
  • both optical sensors are activated when they receive the light.
  • the middle ring is made of a material that is not transparent to the invisible light, only one sensor of the two optical paths receives light when the middle ring is moved through the two optical paths.
  • two optical transmitters can be used for this purpose. In the end it is also conceivable to switch the optical sensor differently briefly one after the other, that is to say to be sensitive to limited wavelength ranges.
  • a coin consisting of three parts is shown, namely with a core 1 made of a first metallic material, an outer ring 2 made of a second metallic material and a middle ring 3 made of an electrically insulating material, for example a polymer.
  • the material of the middle ring 3 can be translucent or transparent.
  • the thickness of the core 1 is dd and the thickness of the outer ring 2 is dr.
  • a coin track 20 is shown rolling along the coin 10.
  • Two light barriers L1 and L2, which have a height h above the coin track 20, are arranged at a distance a.
  • the light barriers consist, for example, of at least one optical transmitter and an optical receiver or sensor on different sides of the path of the coin 10.
  • the light barrier L1 works with light in the visible wavelength range
  • the light barrier 2 works in the IR wavelength range.
  • time recordings are made with the interruptions of the light barriers. The interruption takes place for the first time with the edge of the coin 10 entering the light barrier L1 and sets the point in time t0 in Fig. 3a At this moment, both wavelength ranges (transparent and non-transparent) are blocked.
  • the permeable wave range is detected by the optical sensor of the light barrier L1, which is represented by time t1.
  • time t1 With the transition from the middle ring to the metallic core, both wavelength ranges are blocked again. This occurs at time t2.
  • the individual ring widths or the core diameter and the entire coin diameter can be determined from the determined time segments t0 to t1, t1 to t2, t2 to t3, t3 to t4 and t4 to t5.
  • Such provisions are known per se, as in DE 27 24 868 , EP 0 839 364 and EP 0 694 888 disclosed.
  • the determined individual ring widths can be used as security features.
  • the light barrier L2 is positioned at the same distance from the track 20 as the light barrier L1, and the distance L1 to L2 is known. The mechanical distances between the coins can be calculated from these specifications.
  • the light barrier L2 is designed for a certain wavelength range, for example infrared light. For this specific wavelength range, no signal changes are now detected at t11 and t12, t13 and t14, but only again at t15 when the entire coin 10 has passed the light barrier L2 because the material of the middle ring does not let the IR light through from the graphic representation of Fig. 3a below.
  • Figure 3b shows the process when a coin is tested with a material of the middle ring, which is transparent to IR light. It can be seen that the same signal curves are then generated for the light barriers L1 and L2. This is therefore a good discriminatory feature for identifying coins that have been provided with the wrong material for the middle ring.
  • Figure 3c shows the signal curve for the two light barriers L1 and L2 for a conventional bicolor coin as well as for a coin provided with a central ring, where the material for the central ring is impermeable to both visible and invisible light.
  • Fig. 4 are four light barriers each consisting of an optical transmitter and an optical receiver, which are labeled 11 or 11 'and 12 or 12', arranged one above the other at a distance h or h 'from the coin track 20 and at a distance a from one another. If a conventional coin with a smaller diameter moves through the light barriers 11 and 12, a signal curve t1 and t2 is generated. For a coin with a larger diameter, similar signal profiles are also generated by the light paths 11 'and 12'. If, on the other hand, the light barriers are at the level of a middle ring according to Figure 1A or 1B , in turn, similar signal profiles for 11 and 12 and 11 'and 12' can be generated as these in connection with Fig. 3 have been described.
  • a main plate 30 and a pivot plate 32 are shown, the latter forming the coin track 20.
  • An LED 34 is embedded in the plate 32 and irradiates a coin 10 when it runs along the track 20 along the LED.
  • a phototransistor 36 is arranged, which interacts with an optical element 38, which generates a lens effect and with a small diameter section 40 in a recess 42 of the main plate 30 and receives the light generated by the LED, as far as it either is not blocked by the coin 10 or allowed through by a portion of the coin 10, as is the case in connection with the figures described above.
  • a line or area sensor can also be provided in a vertical and / or horizontal arrangement, as shown at 44 or 46 in FIG Fig. 6 is shown.
  • the line sensor 46 is shown in a horizontal arrangement, which is controlled by the LED 34 via the entire width is irradiated and in this way to receive light from the LED 34, which is either not blocked by the coin or is allowed through by this.
