本発明は、紙幣や切手などのような周辺部に模
様が印刷されていない印刷物を識別する方式に関
するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for identifying printed matter such as banknotes and stamps that have no pattern printed on their periphery.
〔従来技術〕
従来の識別装置では、受光素子出力にあるしき
い値を設けておき、光源・受光素子間に例えば紙
幣を通過させて、受光素子の出力変化がこのしき
い値を越えるか越えないかにより印刷された模様
をパターン判別していたが、ほこり付着や劣化に
よる光源光量の低下あるいは紙幣の汚れ程度によ
る受光素子出力の変動がそのまま識別能力の不安
定要因となつていた。[Prior art] In conventional identification devices, a certain threshold value is set for the output of the light receiving element, and by passing a bill, for example, between the light source and the light receiving element, it is determined whether the change in the output of the light receiving element exceeds this threshold value or not. Patterns were discriminated based on the presence or absence of printed patterns, but a decrease in the amount of light from the light source due to dust adhesion or deterioration, or fluctuations in the output of the light receiving element due to the degree of dirt on the banknote, became a factor in the instability of the discrimination ability.
上記従来技術では、受光量を光源に帰還し受光
量が一定となるよう制御するような装置が見られ
たが、比較的大きな電流を調節できる制御回路が
必要となり、また光源光量で各受光素子出力を割
算して正規化する場合には、高価で複雑な割算回
路が必要であるという問題点があつた。
In the above-mentioned conventional technology, there was a device that fed back the amount of received light to the light source and controlled it so that the amount of received light was constant, but this required a control circuit that could adjust a relatively large current, and it was also necessary to control each light receiving element depending on the amount of light from the light source. When normalizing the output by dividing it, there is a problem in that an expensive and complicated division circuit is required.
本発明の目的は、受光素子の受光量あるいは印
刷物のインクの濃さによつて、各印刷物において
濃淡検出値の巾がバラツキがある場合に、誤差な
く印刷物を識別する方式を提供するにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying printed matter without error when the width of the density detection value for each printed matter varies depending on the amount of light received by a light-receiving element or the density of ink on the printed matter.
上記目的は、印刷が付されていない部分の光電
変換信号を比例分配して多値の比較信号も求め、
比例分配して得られた信号と上記差とを比較して
印刷物を識別することにより達成される。
The above purpose is to proportionally distribute the photoelectric conversion signals of the unprinted part to obtain a multi-value comparison signal.
This is achieved by comparing the signal obtained by proportional distribution with the above difference to identify the printed matter.
搬送されてくる紙幣毎にその紙幣額縁部からの
受光素子出力を保持し、この保持電圧値と紙幣の
印刷された模様部からの受光素子出力と比較した
差、すなわち印刷された模様パターンのみが識別
信号として用いられるので、紙幣の新旧・汚れに

こり付着などの外部要因に影響されることなく紙
幣を識別できる。
For each banknote that is conveyed, the light receiving element output from the bill frame is held, and the difference between this held voltage value and the light receiving element output from the printed pattern part of the banknote, that is, only the printed pattern pattern is detected. Since it is used as an identification signal, banknotes can be identified regardless of whether the banknotes are old or new or dirty, and without being affected by external factors such as deterioration of the light source or dust adhesion to the light receiving surface.
以下、本発明を実施例を示し説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained by showing examples.
現行の紙幣には、五百円札・千円札・五千円
札・一万円札とも必ず周辺の5mm前後が全く印刷
されておらず、この部分で紙幣全体の汚れ程度を
代表させても、局部的しみ、汚れを除いては充分
満足できる。 Current banknotes, including the 500 yen, 1000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10,000 yen bills, always have no printing at all around the 5mm edge, and this area represents the degree of dirt on the entire banknote. However, with the exception of local stains and stains, it is completely satisfactory.
そこで、受光素子出力の内、この周辺部が光

光源2と受光素子3との間を通過する。受光素子
3が紙幣1からの透過光量を観測するものであれ

できる。すなわち第2図aのような波形が受光素
子3の出力として得られるよう、光源2の光量ま
たは受光素子3の感度特性を調整するのは一般に
容易である。 Therefore, by subtracting the output of the light receiving element when this peripheral part passes between the light source and the light receiving element, only the change in output due to the printed pattern can be extracted. It is not affected by decreases in light intensity. In FIG. 1, 1 is a printed matter to be identified, for example, a banknote, which is conveyed while being held by a belt or the like (not shown).
The light passes between the light source 2 and the light receiving element 3. If the light-receiving element 3 observes the amount of transmitted light from the banknote 1, it can also detect passage through the peripheral area 1' of the banknote 1 (hereinafter abbreviated as the frame of the banknote) on which no pattern is printed. That is, it is generally easy to adjust the light intensity of the light source 2 or the sensitivity characteristics of the light receiving element 3 so that the waveform shown in FIG. 2a is obtained as the output of the light receiving element 3.
この時、受光素子3の受光面3′を紙幣1の額
縁1′の巾より小さく、例えば2mm前後にしてお
くと、確実に紙幣1の額縁1′の通過を受光素子
3の出力から検知できる。 At this time, if the light-receiving surface 3' of the light-receiving element 3 is made smaller than the width of the frame 1' of the banknote 1, for example around 2 mm, passage of the banknote 1 through the frame 1' can be reliably detected from the output of the light-receiving element 3. .

図で出力V0は
V0=−R2/R1V1+(1+R2/R1)V2
となり、出力を正帰還して右図のようにV2=V0
とすれば、上式からV1=V0となる。 In the operational amplifier 4, when the output is fed back directly to the + (plus) side input as shown in FIG. 7, the output and input become equal. That is, in the left diagram of Figure 7, the output V 0 becomes V 0 = -R 2 /R 1 V 1 + (1+R 2 /R 1 )V 2 , and by positive feedback of the output, V 2 = V 0 as shown in the right diagram.
Then, from the above equation, V 1 =V 0 .

holds the input voltage value immediately before opening.
一方、受光素子3の出力aを波形整形回路7に

加しままとなる。 On the other hand, the output a of the light-receiving element 3 is applied to the waveform shaping circuit 7 as a passing signal b of the banknote 1, which is applied to the delay circuit 8. The delay circuit 8 is connected to the frame 1' of the banknote 1.
A gate signal c for opening/closing is sent to the gate of the switching element 5 with a delay of a time corresponding to the passage of the switching element 5 or a time slightly less than that, thereby opening the switching element 5.
By doing this, the holding circuit 6 holds the light receiving element output d of the frame 1' of the banknote 1 as shown in FIG.
The value remains applied to the + (plus) side input of the operational amplifier 4.

され、第2図eのように出力される。 Therefore, the output e of the operational amplifier 4 when the banknote 1 is passing between the light source 2 and the light receiving element 3 is -
From the output a of the light receiving element 3 applied to the (minus) side input to the banknote 1 applied to the + (plus) side input
Only the holding voltage value d of the holding circuit 6 corresponding to the value of the picture frame 1' is subtracted, that is, only the pattern applied to the banknote 1 is amplified by the amplification rate of the operational amplification device 4, as shown in FIG. The output is as follows.

閉素子5のゲート信号cとなる。 On the other hand, the output a of the light receiving element 3 is passed through the detection circuit 10.
After the signal is applied to the signal, the output thereof is passed through the waveform shaping circuit 7 and is used as the passage detection signal b. Further, in this embodiment, the delay circuit 8 is composed of a transport clock generating circuit 11 and a shift register 12. A transport clock generating circuit 11 generates a transport clock g synchronized with the transport speed, and applies this clock to the shift register 12. The shift register 12 is set by the passage detection signal b, and outputs a passage detection signal c delayed by the number of transport clocks corresponding to the length of the frame 1' of the banknote 1 or a length slightly shorter than that. This becomes the gate signal c of the switching element 5.

では、その分圧値の2つVref1,Vref2をデイジイ
タル化回路9のしきい値として利用する。 Since the output e of the operational amplifier 4 has the opposite polarity to the holding voltage of the holding circuit 6 as shown in e in FIG. to be applied. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the holding voltage of the holding circuit 6 is applied to a dividing circuit 13 made up of a plurality of resistors.
The dividing circuit 13 divides the holding voltage value, and in this embodiment, two of the divided voltage values, Vref 1 and Vref 2, are used as the threshold values of the digitizing circuit 9.
こうすると、比較器2個で構成されるデイジイ

にしても良いことは言うまでもない。 In this way, two binary outputs f 1 and f 2 as shown in FIG. 4 are obtained by the digitizing circuit 9 consisting of two comparators. Note that it goes without saying that the number of threshold values may be one.

uses a photodiode, but a phototransistor may also be used. The holding circuit 6 uses a Miller integrator with negative feedback using a capacitor. Compared to creating a holding circuit using only a capacitor whose other terminal is grounded, the drift of the holding voltage can be significantly reduced.
The delay circuit 8 is composed of a resistor R and a capacitor C, and is delayed by a discharge time constant R·C when the input is opened.

fを得ることができる。 Although a suitable fixed voltage may be applied to the threshold value Vref of the digitizing circuit 9, it is possible to divide the output of the holding circuit 6 using a high resistance as in the dividing circuit 13 of FIG. 6, which will be described later. It can be made variable by changing the level of 3, and a more stable output f can be obtained.

The passage detection circuit 10 is provided to sufficiently amplify the output of the light-receiving element 3 so that the passage of the banknote 1 can be reliably detected, especially when observing the amount of reflected light, since the output of the light receiving element 3 is generally small.

According to the present invention, the light-receiving element output from the bill frame is held for each bill that is conveyed, and the difference between this held voltage value and the light-receiving element output from the printed pattern part of the bill is calculated. Since only the printed pattern is used as an identification signal, identification is possible regardless of whether the banknote is old, new or dirty. Furthermore, it is not affected by a decrease in the amount of light received due to external factors such as deterioration of the light source or dust adhesion to the light receiving surface. Furthermore, as the banknote is conveyed, a single light-receiving element scans the banknote and photoelectrically converts multiple points on the scan, so errors in the characteristics of the light-receiving element appear evenly at each point, and changes in characteristics affect recognition. No impact.

高度な処理が可能となる。 Furthermore, when dividing the holding voltage value and using this divided voltage value as a comparison threshold when digitizing the light receiving element output, the comparison threshold suitable for the banknote will be automatically adjusted. Become. That is, the smaller the amount of light received from the banknote, the lower the comparison threshold value can be automatically set, so that any banknote can be appropriately identified. Therefore, only the pattern can be obtained as a multi-valued density, making it possible to perform sophisticated processing that can handle the magnitude of the amount of received light.
