Description
The present invention relates to a kind of equipment of optically examining security documents and method and some use the equipment of handling paper representing value by inspection machine of the present invention.
Here, paper representing value refers to these article, and they for example should embody the value or the right of currency, and therefore can not make arbitrarily without approval.Therefore they have some to make simply, the feature of especially duplicating, and having these features is symbols of authenticity, that is to say it is to be made by a department that this is authorized.Some important example of this paper representing value are chip card, coupon, voucher, check and banknote especially.
In the feature of these paper representing values an important class be can optical identification feature, adopt the feature of luminescent substance especially to belong to this category feature, when with the irradiate light of provision wavelengths, these luminescent substances outputs have the luminous rays of characteristic spectrum.Here, light refers to the electromagnetic radiation in ultraviolet ray, visible light or the infra-red range at electromagnetic spectrum.
In order to check authenticity, paper representing value can be with appropriate irradiate light.Then by the sensor check that is suitable for, see light on paper representing value or the excitation luminescence ray whether of the place of interior regulation, for this does spectral analysis to the light from paper representing value.
This check should be finished as far as possible rapidly and with low equipment investment; For the equipment of will be therein implementing validity check according to luminescence feature can design to such an extent that save the space as far as possible, what be worth pursuit is, design the device structure of check luminescence feature very compact, but still enough spectrally resolved ability and susceptibility are arranged all the time, so that the existence of the luminous frequency spectrum of energy recognition feature.
Therefore the objective of the invention is, create a kind of equipment of optically examining security documents, it can realize a kind of very structure in compact saving space, and the corresponding method that a kind of verifying valuable ticket is provided.
By first kind of possibility, this purpose reaches by a kind of equipment of optically examining security documents, it have one when check paper representing value be in wherein detection zone and a spectral device that is used to check from the light of detection zone.Spectral device comprises a space light-dividing device, be used for to be decomposed into from light to the small part of detection zone spectral component spectral separation, that propagate towards different directions according to wavelength, a sniffer that carries out the locus resolution along at least one direction in space, be used for especially spatially resolved detecting light spectrum composition, and, one collimates and focus lamp, and the light that is used to collimate from detection zone guiding light-dividing device focuses on sniffer with at least some by the spectral component that light-dividing device forms with being used for.
By first kind of possibility, this purpose also reaches by a kind of like this method of optically examining security documents, wherein, pass through optical frames from the light of paper representing value, especially collimation and focus lamp form parallel-beam, this beam to small part is decomposed into the spectral component of different wave length, these spectral components are propagated along different directions according to wavelength, and some spectral component focuses on the sniffer by optical frames at least, and survey the spectral component that focuses on the sniffer.
Equipment by first kind of possibility of the present invention, in order to check the paper representing value in detection zone, adopt a kind of being used for from detection zone, especially carry out the device of spectral resolution from the light (being also referred to as detected ray hereinafter) of the paper representing value in detection zone.Its light-dividing device that has living space for this reason, it is decomposed into some spectral components with light to the small part of injecting, and these spectral components are propagated along the different directions in space according to the wavelength of spectral component separately.Here, described light-dividing device only needs and can work in a wavelength coverage according to paper representing value regulation given in advance.Along the light of the direction in space of regulation and thereby corresponding spectral component whether exist, by the detection of spatial discrimination.In order to detect to small part from the spectrum of the ray of detection zone, the detectable signal of sniffer can send to apparatus for evaluating and in that assessment.Here, detection zone can especially be chosen as, and a conveyer that is used for the regulation of paper representing value can be arranged, driving belt for example, and the paper representing value that will check is transported in this detection zone.
Sniffer can especially have a plurality of detecting elements, is used for surveying respectively penetrating the light on them and forming corresponding detectable signal, and they are preferably arranged with the form of row.Yet also can adopt the two dimensional field of forming by detecting element.
The feature of described equipment mainly is, only use an optical frames, that is collimation and focus lamp, two tasks finished, that is the first is in the collimation of the light of detection zone wherein from paper representing value especially, with and two be that the spectral component after decomposing is focused on the sniffer.
This suggestion about simple structure out of a clear sky is based on following observation: compare with spectrometer with scientific research, as long as for the verifying valuable ticket has the spectrally resolved ability of appropriateness just much of that, this resolution characteristic can reach simply with the device of being advised.
Only use a collimation and focus lamp can also behind this optical frames, realize a kind of simple at least folding raypath, thereby allow under the situation that only needs little locus, good spectrally resolved ability is arranged.
With other schemes that can consider, that is adopt the imaging grating to compare, another advantage that obtains is, light-dividing device and collimation and focus lamp are all fairly simple, and thereby is can be easily and the parts of production cheaply.
In addition, only need to adjust collimation and focus lamp, and when collimating and focus on the optical frames that adopts separately, will adjust two optical frames.
Another advantage of the structure of advising is, can reach the very high numerical aperture of raypath between collimation and focus lamp.
Collimation and focus lamp can design arbitrarily in principle.For example, it can contain the optical component of at least one imaging mirror as collimation and focusing.But in order to reach simple as far as possible raypath and inexpensive structure, collimation and focus lamp preferably have at least one lens, and here it can relate to a kind of refractor or diffraction light lens.
For reaching good spectral resolution and can assessing and calibrate sniffer simply, in described equipment, described collimation and focus lamp can be achromatic.Understanding to this is that this optical frames carries out colour correction at spectral device in those spectral region of wherein working; Preferably, the focus of two different wave lengths in the regulation spectral region overlaps each other.Adopt the advantage of achromatism optics mirror to be, the ray from detection zone guiding decomposer does not decomposite additional spectrum to good approximation, and especially occurs aberration at the most when spectral component focuses on the sniffer in a small amount.Here, for when adopting the device of incident diaphragm or a kind of equivalence, approaching as far as possible by aperture of the diaphragm size, the given theoretical resolving limit of the slit width when the clearance type diaphragm for example, should make every effort to because aberration and in the spectral region that equipment will confirm or work form in the spectral region, on sniffer the unintelligible scope of picture point, remain preferably less than 1/5 of aperture of the diaphragm size particularly preferably 1/10.
In principle, sniffer can be with respect to arranging arbitrarily from the raypath of the ray of detection zone and directed.Yet in this equipment preferably, make from detection zone penetrate the collimation and focus lamp on directions of rays, with respect to by spectral component between collimation and focus lamp and sniffer the zone in the expansion plane inclination.This form of implementation allows the special ground, space of saving to arrange sniffer.Especially launch as face under the situation on a plane in spectral component, sniffer can comprise the detecting element that delegation extends along the direction on this plane, they at one by above or below the given plane of the raypath of the ray of detection zone, extending.Equally preferably, between collimation and focus lamp and decomposer, from the direction of the ray of detection zone, with respect to a plane inclination by expansion in the zone of spectral component between collimation and focus lamp and decomposer.
In addition, in this equipment at least in the section before is located immediately at collimation and focus lamp, be in this plane by the geometric projection of penetrating the spectral component expansion on sniffer and constitute on the plane on border at one from the ray of detection zone.Obtain the structure of a kind of special saving locus thus.
In addition, diaphragm and projection lens's group that is located in collimation and the focus lamp focal plane point is set in the raypath from the detection zone to the spectral device in this equipment, is used for detection zone is projected to diaphragm.Here, diaphragm especially can be a diaphragm entity that the aperture of the diaphragm is arranged, or also can be ray steering component or the steering component that a partial reflection detected ray is at least arranged, constitute the face of diaphragm, for example catoptron or beam splitter.
Therefore particularly preferably, sniffer is along a direction and diaphragm partition distance, and this direction is vertical along that direction that it separates with spectral component.Make the structure of equipment compact especially thus.
By diaphragm is preferably seen the side that is in sniffer along the direction of spectral component space segmentation., press the location of equipment here, above or below the side also can be understood as with respect to the bottom.If adopt the sniffer that delegation's detecting element is arranged, then capable perpendicular line preferably itself intersects with detecting element is capable from diaphragm to described detecting element.
In principle, can use a kind of combination of any optical component or optical component as light-dividing device, it is divided into some spectral components with ray to the small part of injecting, and their are propagated along different directions according to wavelength separately.For example can use prism.But the light-dividing device of equipment preferably has a grating.Preferably can use the spectral component of first order of diffraction here as spectral component, yet also can consider to use the higher order of diffraction.The advantage of this form of implementation is, can be simply and obtain any spectral region, the especially grating of infrared region cheaply.Grating can relate to any grating of for example making by machining, lithography or holographic photography.
Preferably grating here is a kind of reflection grating, and it is directly led back spectral component in described collimation and the focus lamp, can obtain a kind of special compact structure thus.
In addition preferably, grating designs and is chosen as with respect to sniffer, and the Zero-order diffractive ray is not penetrated on sniffer.The advantage of doing like this is that the Zero-order diffractive ray can select to be used to carry out other inspections.Can especially adopt echelon grating as grating.Particularly preferably use blazed grating (also claiming blazed grating) as echelon grating.Its advantage is by suitable design and configuration grating, can obtain the extra high ray that is given for the order of diffraction that forms spectral component of intensity.
Grating plays the light shaft positive cross orientation of the linear structure of branch light action with respect to collimation and focus lamp with it.In this case from the ray of detection zone must with respect to inclined light shaft penetrate on grating.Yet preferably, the linear structure of grating is with respect to the inclined light shaft of collimation and focus lamp.This just can adjust all easily each other and be located at member between detection zone and collimation and the focus lamp.
In addition, light-dividing device itself can be reflection or combine with reflecting element, reduce the quantity of optical component thus.Yet also can adopt a kind of device of beam split in transmission as light-dividing device, wherein establish steering component, catoptron for example is in order that reflect back in collimation and the focus lamp ray composition that is produced by this device.By particularly preferred further developing, sniffer has at least two edge detection elements, and they are arranged as, and makes to pass between them to small part detected ray path to extend.Detected ray path to small part from the detection zone to the light-dividing device is extended by sniffer, thereby obtains a kind of structure that helps saving the space.
The structure in but this saving space has more than in by the equipment of first kind of possibility or when using described collimation and focus lamp and obtains.
Exactly, generally speaking also can reach this purpose by second kind of possibility by a kind of equipment of optically examining security documents, equipment have one when check paper representing value be in wherein detection zone, and spectral device, the latter comprises a space light-dividing device, be used for and be decomposed into spectral component spectral separation and that propagate towards different directions according to wavelength from detection zone along light to the small part in detected ray path, and, a sniffer that carries out spatial discrimination towards at least one direction in space, to be used for the detecting light spectrum composition, the latter has at least two edge detection elements, and they are arranged as to make to pass between them to small part detected ray path extends.
In these two kinds of possibilities, sniffer can also have other detecting elements except two edge detection elements mentioning, and they are connected with these detecting elements respectively and are arranged in rows.Here except that their position, the edge detection element need not to be different from other detecting elements that may exist, and comes although can distinguish.Therefore obtain a kind of sniffer with two detecting elements along the detector row of delegation's arrangement.These detector row form a space, and extend by the space at least a portion detected ray path.Two edge detection arrangements of elements are in the both sides in described space.
If with device design be, the detected ray path is parallel to the plane extension by the raypath decision of spectral component in the zone of two edge detection elements, and then these two kinds of possibilities all can obtain a kind of compact structure.Especially, the detected ray path behind two edge detection elements and the raypath of spectral component can be extended in a plane to small part, can obtain a kind of flat especially structure thus.
In principle by in the equipment of second kind of possibility, light-dividing device is as designing illustrating in first kind of possibility, but should take different raypaths into account.Especially, light-dividing device can play reflex.If do not adopt collimation and focus lamp, then in equipment, particularly preferably be by second kind of possibility, the space light-dividing device has an imaging beam splitter, it will be decomposed into spectral component from the light that detection zone passes at least one the predetermined spectral region that enters between the edge detection element and focus on the sniffer, preferably focus on its detecting element that comprises the edge detection element.The advantage that this form of implementation is brought especially only needs to use a small amount of member.
Also be applicable to light-dividing device with first kind of corresponding design of possibility by the equipment of second kind of possibility.Especially light-dividing device preferably can have a grating, its preferably a kind of echelon grating, and its ladder is chosen as, and the ray of Zero-order diffractive is not penetrated on sniffer.Use grating to allow special flexibility and changeability ground to adjust the decomposition of spectral component.In addition, grating can be designed to reflection grating simply, thereby obtains the few structure of a kind of element.
As if grating is a kind of striated pattern, then preferably the linear structure of grating and directly the detected ray path quadrature before grating.Thus again can be with the detecting element of spectral component guide probe device.
Detecting light spectrum composition not in the zone between two edge detection elements.Therefore in the equipment by one of two kinds of possibilities, preferably raypath extends to sniffer from the space light-dividing device by this way, that is, a kind of spectral component of predetermined wavelength is guided between two edge detection elements.Thus, especially sniffer or its detecting element and light-dividing device can dispose each other by appropriate mode.Wavelength can be according to the application target regulation of equipment.If equipment for example should be used to measure luminous rays or Raman's ray, then Gui Ding wavelength is preferably used the wavelength of the excitation ray of its excitation luminescence ray or Raman's ray.
Especially for what check that banknote often be worth to pursue be, in different spectral region, spectrally resolved ground of energy sense radiation in the visible light of spectrum and infrared ray part especially.Therefore in the equipment by one of two kinds of possibilities, preferably these two edge detection elements have different spectrographic detection districts respectively.If sniffer has two detector row, establish this two edge detection elements in their opposed ends, then preferably this two row detecting element has the identical spectra detecting area respectively, thereby in the detecting area difference of the detecting element of space opposite side.Especially, detector row can have some to be used to survey the ray in the light visible region at least, silica-based detecting element for example, and has other to be used for that optimal wavelength is the detecting element of base greater than the ray of 900nm, with indium-gallium-arsenide semiconductor in the probing light infrared spectral range.This advantage of bringing is just can implement the spectrographic detection in special broadband when space requirement is little.Especially can overcome following shortcoming: silica-based detecting element wavelength greater than the spectral region of 1100nm in detection purpose susceptibility for reality low excessively.
In addition, in order still to reach high signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) in short as far as possible detection time, in the equipment by one of two kinds of possibilities, preferably at least some detecting elements of sniffer have 0.1mm at least
2Sensing surface.Compare with using the CCD element thus, outstanding especially in the advantage aspect signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) and detection time.
Particularly preferably, sniffer especially except two edge detection elements, also has some detecting elements, can produce some descriptions simultaneously by them and penetrate ray characteristics on them, the especially detectable signal of intensity.The advantage that this form of implementation provides is, can detect simultaneously by detecting element according to the detectable signal that spectral component produces, and especially compares with the CCD field, and this allows high detection speed or measures repetition rate.Especially, detectable signal can be read or produce independently of one another to detecting element independently of one another.
Particularly preferably be in this case, an apparatus for evaluating that is connected with detecting element by signal connection device arranged, the detectable signal that its parallel detection generates by detecting element by the equipment of one of two kinds of possibilities.This evaluation method selecting optimal equipment ground can be applied to, and only detects at least a spectrum after the emission of a pulse, preferably detects the time sequencing of spectrum, and this is particularly advantageous in the check luminescence phenomenon.
Confirmed already in this respect that particularly advantageous was that apparatus for evaluating detects the detectable signal of detection element according to the signal of the pulse output of a description from the illumination beam to the detection zone.The luminous check of embodiment such as banknote very simply and meanwhile exactly thus is because can determine in pulse output and the time interval between detecting.
In order to limit or avoid fully reducing the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of detection because of external ray, by in the equipment of two kinds of possibilities, preferably establish wave filter in the detected ray path between detection zone and space light-dividing device, it is suppressed at the ray in the regulation spectral region.The spectral region of regulation then can be according to the application choice of equipment.If equipment for example is applied to measure luminous rays or Raman's ray, then Gui Ding spectral region for example are the spectral ranges with the excitation ray of its excitation luminescence ray or Raman's ray.Yet also can use these wave filters, they only allow the ray in the spectral range given by the spectral component that will detect to pass through, and the ray outside this scope is significantly weakened at least.
In addition, in by the equipment of one of two kinds of possibilities preferably, establish beam splitter in space that forms at detection zone and by two edge detection elements or the raypath between collimation and the focus lamp, the part light from detection zone can be discharged from the raypath of going to collimate with focus lamp by it.The advantage of doing like this is, do not reexamine spectrum from the ray of detection zone, checks but can also be applied to other to small part, for example is used for the purpose of imaging, or is used in the spectral analysis of other spectral region of can be not analyzing by spectral device.By a kind of particularly preferred form of implementation, mentioned wave filter is made of the beam splitter that correspondingly designs for this reason.
The type that depends on illumination, equipment are not necessarily to need an import slit, or general incident diaphragm or other devices that satisfies identical function.Yet preferably, the equipment by one of two kinds of possibilities has at least one to satisfy the member of incident diaphragm functionality.
Equipment can for example have an incident diaphragm, and it that is in the field depth of the image-forming component after being located at the import slit along raypath, is in the plane of detecting element at least approx.Described incident diaphragm can be stipulated as independent member, but preferably it passes through the bearing formation of detecting element and/or one or more detecting elements.Obtain a kind of simple especially structure thus.When in the detected ray path of light-dividing device, using a beam splitter or ray steering component from detection zone, beam splitter or ray steering component, for example catoptron satisfies the function in import slit equally.In the external ray of shielding, lose special lowland transmission detected ray, in equipment, preferably reach like this by one of two kinds of possibilities, that is, establish the optical conductor of guiding detected ray in the detected ray path, its end is located between two edge detection elements.Described end can preferably be born the function in import slit equally.Beam splitter especially also is interpreted as any element that is used for ray guidance and also turns in case of necessity here, and light can detect by light-dividing device and sniffer spectrally resolvedly.Therefore depend on that these Design of device, beam splitter especially also can be designed for the invisible ray in the guiding infrared spectral range.
Though can consider with the ambient light detection zone that throws light on a radiographic source is arranged in principle, be used for the illuminating ray at least one provision wavelengths scope of detection zone output by the evaluation method selecting optimal equipment ground of one of two kinds of possibilities.Here illumination beam can be used as reflected light or transmitted light.
Preferably, for the illumination of detection zone at least one semiconductor radiographic source is arranged by the equipment of one of two kinds of possibilities.Adopt the semiconductor radiographic source that series of advantages is arranged.For example the semiconductor radiographic source has the serviceable life more much longer than other radiographic sources usually.In addition, the power input that its needs for the light of exporting regulation power is lower and produce less used heat, thereby obviously reduces the requirement of device cooling.In addition, semiconductor radiographic source can be bought, thereby simple excitation ray in the provision wavelengths scope can be created at different wavelength range.Can for example consider photodiode or superluminescent diode as the semiconductor radiographic source, but preferably consider semiconductor laser.Here the semiconductor radiographic source not only refers to the member based on inorganic semiconductor, and refers to the member based on organic substance, especially Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).
In principle, when using the indirect lighting device of detection zone, illumination beam can be radiated at above it obliquely with respect to paper representing value.Yet preferably, establish beam splitter in the raypath from the detection zone to the spectral device, the radiogenic light of semiconductor arrives by its, especially be directed in the detection zone or on.The advantage of doing like this is, less scattering appears in the illumination beam paper representing value that can lead orthogonally thus, and this scattering meeting hinders to be surveyed.Particularly preferably adopt a kind of dichromatism beam splitter, can be by it with the ray in the illumination beam scope of arrival detection zone, separate with the detected ray of implementing spectral resolution from paper representing value in the wavelength coverage of regulation, wavelength coverage for example can be selected according at least one optical signature of paper representing value.This has improved the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) when surveying.
Another technical theme of the present invention is a kind of equipment of handling paper representing value, it comprise one by of the present invention by described equipment and the transfer path that is used for paper representing value to be processed that is used for the verifying valuable ticket of one of two kinds of possibilities, it extends in detection zone and/or by its.Here, transfer path can especially have the conveyer of a transmission paper representing value, for example driving belt.Especially consider to be used for the equipment of banknote counting and/or sorting as treatment facility, be used to accept and export the especially automatic teller of banknote of paper representing value, and the equipment that is used for the paper representing value validity check.

Fig. 1 represents a banknote screening installation 1 as the example of the equipment of handling paper representing value, and it has an inspection machine by first kind of preferred form of implementation of the present invention.
Banknote screening installation 1 has banknote BN import 3 in shell 2, one-tenth bundling note machine BN to be processed can or manually or automatically, in case of necessity after removing tie in advance the input import in, rick there then.Banknote BN in the input import 3 extracts out from stacking one by one by seperator 4, and is used to check the sensor device 6 of banknote to transmit by the conveyer 5 that limits transfer path by one.In this embodiment, sensor device 6 has a plurality of sensor assemblies that are installed in the public shell.These sensor assemblies are used to check authenticity, state and the P.V. that is verified banknote BN here.After passing through sensor device 6, the banknote BN that is verified is according to the inspection of sensor device 6 or the sorting criterion of assay and regulation, via the railway switch 7 and relevant spiral classification piler 8 that can back and forth adjust between two diverse locations by switch signal respectively, classification outputs in the outlet 9, they can or manually take out, or send automatically therefrom.The control of banknote screening installation 1, especially the check conversion of signals with sensor device 6 is that the railway switch that is used for railway switch is adjusted signal, here realizes by controller 10.
Such as already mentioned, sensor device 6 has different sensor assemblies in the present embodiment, wherein only show the sensor assembly 11 that will be described in detail below in the drawings, that is be used for the verifying valuable ticket by the preferred embodiment of the invention, the for example equipment of banknote BN, hereinafter referred to as inspection machine.Be used to discern the state of banknote BN, also can the property had enough to meet the need and the sensor assembly of P.V. or value of money be the sensor assembly common, that the professional is known, therefore do not need detailed introduction.
Pass through the configuration of inspection machine 11 optical components and the detection zone 14 that characteristic limits in addition, with the opposite side of sensor outer housing 12 be the boundary with selectable plate 33 in principle, thereby banknote BN can by among Fig. 2 the conveyer 5 of expression transmit through glass 13 other along the direction T that extends with drawing planar quadrature ground among Fig. 2.
The detected ray that enters through the aperture of the diaphragm 27 is by spectral device 16 achromatic collimations and focus lamp 28 packs in this example.Collimation and focus lamp 28 only are expressed as lens to symbol in the drawings, but often are designed to the combination of some lens actually.Achromatic optical frames refers to, and this optical frames has carried out chromatic aberration correction in the wavelength coverage that spectral device 16 is worked.The corresponding correction is unnecessary in other wavelength coverages.Incident diaphragm 26 and collimation and focus lamp 28 are configured to, and the aperture of the diaphragm 27 at least very closely is in the focal plane point of collimation and focus lamp 28 incident diaphragm sides.
The sniffer 30 of spectral device 16 is used for along the spatially resolved detecting light spectrum composition of at least one direction in space.The detectable signal that generates when surveying is supplied with the apparatus for evaluating 31 of spectral device 16, and it detects detectable signal, and serves as that the basis enforcement spectrum that will be detected and the spectrum of regulation are made comparisons with this detectable signal.Apparatus for evaluating 31 is connected with controller 10, so that comparative result is transferred to controller 10 by corresponding signal.
In this example, space light-dividing device 29 is the reflection gratings that linear structure is arranged, and its line parallel extends by the aperture of the diaphragm 27 planes vertical and collimation and focus lamp 28 optical axises in one.The distance of line is chosen as, and making detected ray can be to be broken down into spectrum in the infrared spectral range at the spectral region of regulation in this example.Light-dividing device 29 is orientated for this reason, makes the spectral component of separation, is first order of diffraction in this example, focuses on the sniffer 30 by collimation and focus lamp 28.For obtaining signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) as well as possible, the distance and the choice of location of light-dividing device 29 lines are, make the not part of spectral resolution of detected ray, be the Zero-order diffractive ray in this example, do not inject in collimation and the focus lamp 28, but penetrate in the drawings on the collection of rays device of not expression plate that is used for the absorbing detection ray for example.
