Abstract

A light-scanner that includes a wave guide. The scanner defines a scanning zone, and further includes a light-emitting diode, and a detector. The wave guide is disposed between the light-emitting diode and the scanning zone. The wave guide defines a light-admitting aperture and a light-reflective surface. The light-admitting aperture and light-reflecting surface cooperate to direct light from the light-emitting diode toward the scanning zone, and to focus such light centrally along a path traveled by such light toward the detector.

Description of the invention () Field of invention: Generally, the present invention relates to a scanner, and more particularly _, the present invention relates to a device for scanning banknotes for verifying the authenticity of banknotes and determining the medium price. And methods. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Traditional banknote scanning devices are, for example, vending machines that are unique to customers and provide snacks and snacks, and are located in leisure areas, such as those with coin-operated slot machines that can accept banknotes, and provide tokens to exchange banknotes. A separate machine in the audiovisual zone, the scanning machine uniquely uses a light source to illuminate the currency as if-a detection system that obtains its characteristics and properties from the currency. For example, the federal government recently introduced a banknote classification that clearly includes asymmetry indicators such as portraits of similar people, and incorporates other unique features and characteristics that make counterfeiting the banknote more difficult than before, so many other countries have It can change the color and change the size of the banknote according to the face. Due to this protection method, many conventional banknote scanning devices further incorporate at least one light source and a connected collimating lens to generate a parallel light beam that substantially passes through and illuminates the banknote. Uniquely, a connected flat / convex lens is located on the opposite side of the illuminated banknote to collect the scanning light from the banknote, and then provide the collected scanning light to a connected detector, The detector is designed according to ideal conditions to verify the authenticity and detect the value of the scanned banknotes. Also uniquely, the convex lens is separated from a required scanning plane (for the paper) so that the focal point of the convex lens ideally touches the scanning plane. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) i, order — ·, d Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs -4- 538384 A7 B7 '-------- -----—--------------------. 5. Description of the invention (2 〇 So, in an ideal state, it is embedded in today's paper money as a security burial. The indicators and other characteristics can provide a light through which the scanned banknote has information that can be compared with some stored information to confirm the authenticity and value of the scanned banknote. However, the paper The movement of a banknote above or below its required scanning plane may bring the banknote away from the focal point of the lens, with design restrictions in order to both illuminate and focus the light at the point, especially considering the distance from a required focus Displacement of the same position less than one millimeter may move the focal distance away from its connected desired position, and Paper problems that have been torn, taped, faded, very wrinkled or thinned will further aggravate the problem. Furthermore, the paper will naturally scatter light and pass through a bit to be focused later. The scattered light of the banknote in the required scanning plane may be completely shorter than the depth sensor, or the light passing through the convex lens may be focused from the light of the scanned banknote to a required detection area. One is not needed. Therefore, when comparing the information of a scanned banknote with the calibration information, there can be a difference between the banknote and the stored calibration information and a certain wavelength of light # 一 顺The difference between the scanned banknote and the calibration information may be within the design tolerance of many traditional currency scanning devices. 'As a result, the scanned banknote Acceptable. However, the non-compliance of the wavelength is other events.

Description of Invention (3 In order to solve this problem, traditional currency scanning devices may include A light emitting diode device (or so-called packaging) that provides multi-wavelength light. Then conventional scanners may incorporate the light emitting diodes (LEDs) of most current technologies for the purpose of solving known problems. In this case, one. A single-pass LED package that can be converted from blue light to infrared light, when the traditional currency scanning device described above is incorporated, the scanning device can be provided with a specific wavelength of 470 nm. , 505 nm, 62 nm, 730 nm, 840 nm, and 940 nm. Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art paper currency scanning devices are often combined with 12 or more of the above LED packages. If the scanning device is suitable for the authenticity of coins and its price, it is a commercial requirement. For many reasons, it may be necessary to reduce the number of the above-mentioned LED packages used today from 12 or more to four. Description of the invention: The present invention relates to a scanner device that does not require a collimating lens. Conversely, the scanner device incorporates a waveguide. Furthermore, the resulting design of the scanner device of the present invention can already emit light. The number of polar body (LED) packages has been reduced from 12 or more to 4 or less. The cat sweeping device of the present invention can be preferably used for scanning banknotes as a verification of the authenticity of the bill and the purpose of deciding what to do. Similarly, when the scanner device of the present invention is combined with the 4 L ED package, the paper size is applicable to the Chinese national standard * (€ milk) 8 4 specifications (210 father 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before (Fill in this page)-Ordered by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, M Engineering and Bone Reduction Cooperatives-6-538384 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (", each LED package can be placed and set opposite to the currency scanning plane to facilitate Scan different quarters of the banknote. · --- >-^ --- L-- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) So, the scanner device of the present invention The scanning area includes a scanning area, at least one light emitting diode, at least one light detector, and a waveguide. The scanning area of the scanner defines the opposite side and is dimensioned to allow a scanable object to be placed on the opposite side. The light emitting diode device is disposed on one side of the scanning area and can provide discontinuous light of different energy levels. “Similarly” the light emitting diode device is placed opposite to the scanning area to facilitate Scanning at least one of the scannable objects by the light connected to the diode device The light detecting device is separated from the light-emitting diode 'and is also arranged in the sweeping seedling area of Fengmu's cat sweeper' so as to be irradiated from the Bhai light-emitting diode device and then passed through the scanning device. The light in the Miao Miao area can provide information for the light detectors to identify the objects that have been scanned in the scanning area. D Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy, M Industrial Consumer Cooperative, the waveguide is set on the light Between the polar body and the scanning area, the waveguide defines at least one light receiving aperture and at least one reflective surface, wherein the light receiving aperture and the reflective surface cooperate to guide light from the light emitting diode to the scanning area 'and in the center Converge the light along the path traveled by pointing to the detector.
