[Prior Art] Banknote discriminating devices that determine the authenticity and type of banknotes are widely used in banks and other institutions. A method is used in which transmitted light is detected and the printed pattern of the banknote is recognized from the detection result. In other words, a method is used in which a pattern of changes in reflected light or transmitted light (hereinafter referred to as an optical pattern) is compared with a pre-stored reference optical pattern, and the type and authenticity of the banknote are determined from the comparison results. ing. In this case, a method has been developed in which the optical pattern of the banknote is detected in a predetermined local check zone, expressed as binary data of "1"/"0", and this binary data is judged by a logic circuit.

By the way, in conventional banknote discriminating devices, transmitted light or reflected light is locally detected using one or several light receiving elements, and therefore, a detection error occurs if the position of the transported banknote shifts. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a guide plate to prevent the transferred banknotes from shifting, or to switch the light-receiving element depending on the position of the banknote. A problem occurred in that it became difficult for the user to insert the light receiving element (insertion by the user), and a problem occurred in that the configuration became complicated when switching the light receiving element. On the other hand, in order to eliminate the effects of misalignment of banknotes and disturbances in conveyance, there is a method in which a partial image of the conveyed banknote is formed on a light-receiving element so as to be moderately blurred using an optical lens. , the optical system is easily affected by dust, etc., and the distance between the optical lens and the light receiving element (optical path)
This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to miniaturize the device because the length is long.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a paper sheet discriminating device that irradiates a conveyed paper sheet and detects the transmitted light to discriminate the paper sheet. A large number of closely spaced light-receiving elements are arranged in a row so that their light-receiving surfaces are in contact with the sheet of paper and are perpendicular to each other across the entire width of the conveyance path of the sheet of paper, and each of the light-receiving elements is They each have an operational amplifier and a feedback resistor and an output resistor connected to the operational amplifier, respectively, and by setting the values of these resistors, a smooth signal can be generated corresponding to the output signal of each of the light receiving elements. The weight setting section includes a large number of weight setting sections that individually weight each weight setting section so as to form a mountain-shaped curve, and a sum detection section that is connected to each of the weight setting sections and sums the output signals of each of the weight setting sections. It is characterized by

By appropriately selecting the feedback resistance and output resistance of the weight setting section and weighting them to form a gentle mountain-shaped curve, even if the paper sheet is misaligned, the influence of fluctuations on both sides can be reduced. Since there are few, stable discrimination is performed. Furthermore, since the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving element is arranged so as to be in contact with the paper leaf being conveyed, the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving element is self-cleaned by the paper leaf.
Therefore, accurate detection is always performed without being affected by dust, dust, etc.

In this figure, 5-1 to 5-n are each operational amplifiers, and each inverting input terminal is a photodiode.
It is grounded via ph1 to phn in the forward direction, and connected to each output terminal via feedback resistors ra1 to rao , and each non-inverting input terminal is grounded. In this case, the output voltages V 1 to V o of the operational amplifiers 5-1 to 5-n correspond to the photocurrents output by the photodiodes ph1 to phn, respectively, I 1 to V o.
Assuming I o , it is expressed by the following formula.

is applied to the inverting input terminal of operational amplifier 6 via . The operational amplifier 6 has a non-inverting input terminal connected to ground, an inverting input terminal connected to an output terminal via a resistor rc, and an output terminal connected to a terminal 7. As can be seen from the figure, the output voltage V 0 of the operational amplifier 6 is expressed by the following equation.

V 0 = oi=1 (−rc/rbi・Vi) = oi=1 rc/rbi・Ii・rai (2) And, in this embodiment, the output signal I 1 of the photodiodes ph1 to pbn ~ Io (photocurrent) is weighted as shown in FIG. 4, A and B, for example. Figure 4 A shows photodiodes lined up in the width direction of transport path 1.
The positions of the photodiodes ph1 to phn are shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 4 A and B, the weight near the center in the width direction of the transport path 1 is the largest, and the weight decreases from the center in the width direction to both sides. It is said to be a mountain-shaped curve. The setting of this weight is determined by the resistance as shown in Figure 3 and the second equation.
This can be done by appropriately setting the values of ra 1 to ra o or the resistances rb 1 to rb o .

In this way, if the weight of the central part in the width direction is larger than that of both sides, even if the position of the transported banknote changes in the width direction, the weighting of the output signals of the photodiodes on both sides is small, so this part The effect of the output fluctuation of the photodiode on the voltage V 0 is small. Therefore, the voltage V 0 hardly changes, and therefore, the positional shift of the banknote can be substantially ignored. Further, even if a part of the periphery of the banknote is torn (missing), the output voltage V 0 will not fluctuate much for the same reason as in the above case.
In this way, the output voltage V 0 is not affected by the conveyance state of the banknote, etc., and therefore faithfully reflects the printing pattern of the banknote.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the banknotes 3 are conveyed while rubbing the upper surface (light-receiving surface) of the array 2, so that the banknotes 3 self-clean the array 2 (that is, the photodiodes ph1 to phn). Thereby, accurate detection can always be performed without being affected by dust, dust, etc.

The present invention is characterized by comprising a large number of weight setting sections that individually weight each weight setting section, and a summation detection section that is connected to each of the weight setting sections and that calculates the sum of the output signals of each of the weight setting sections. Paper sheet discrimination device.
