Technical background of the invention: It is well known that a part of printing ink for paper sheets such as checks and paper sheets contains a magnetic substance (such printing ink is called magnetic ink). By detecting the presence, amount, pattern, etc. of magnetic substances, the authenticity and type of paper sheets can be identified. However, some copying machines contain toner that contains magnetic substances, and when the toner concentration is adjusted and copies are made using this type of copying machine, it is possible to make copies that can be mistakenly distinguished from the real thing based on the identification of the magnetic substance. It's becoming like that. Furthermore, even if a copy that does not contain magnetic material is overcoated with a thin layer of magnetic pencil, it is possible to create a copy that is similarly erroneously identified.

Problem to be solved by the invention: When paper sheets are copied using a copying machine or overcoated with a magnetic pencil, it is difficult to identify them simply by the presence, amount, pattern, etc. of magnetic substances. Detection is based on pattern matching, which is insufficient for distinguishing between authenticity and falsehood. For reliable identification, it is effective to identify the type of magnetic substance. The type of magnetic material can be identified by comparing the shapes of the hysteresis loops of the magnetization characteristics, but determining the hysteresis loops generally requires complicated procedures and equipment. In addition, conventional hysteresis loop measurement has the problem of requiring the object to be measured to be stationary and measuring points at designated locations, and cannot be immediately applied to the identification of paper sheets.

Embodiments of the Invention: As a result of experiments, it has been found that magnetic ink can be classified into three types as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C when represented by hysteresis loops according to their types. In other words, the type shown in Figure 1A has the maximum magnetic flux density Bm when the magnetic field strength H is the maximum Hm,
There is little difference in the residual magnetic flux density Br when the magnetic field H is removed, and in the type B in the same figure, there is a difference in degree depending on the maximum magnetic flux density Bm and the residual magnetic flux density Br, and the residual magnetic flux density It also has a certain amount of Br. Further, in the type shown in FIG. 1C, there is a large difference between the maximum magnetic flux density Bm and the residual magnetic flux density Br, and the residual magnetic flux density Br itself is very small.
As is clear from these characteristic diagrams, in order to detect which type of the above three characteristics the magnetic ink belongs to, it is sufficient to measure the maximum magnetic flux density Bm and the residual magnetic flux density Br and find the ratio between them. Although three types of characteristics are shown in this example, it can also be applied to more types. Two different magnetic heads are used to measure both magnetic flux densities. That is, to detect the maximum magnetic flux density Bm, it is sufficient to use a differential magnetic head or a bias magnetic field type magnetic head, and the differential magnetic head has a magnetic head wound around the center of the core 1, as shown in Fig. 2. Sine wave 3 in primary winding 2
is applied to form an alternating current modulated magnetic field, and the secondary winding 4 differentially wound around both arms of the core 1 outputs an output to the head section facing the surface of the paper sheet 5 to be conveyed. As shown in Figure 3A, the maximum magnetic flux density is at the peak of the modulated sine wave 3.
Bm is detected. In addition, the bias magnetic field type magnetic head forms a DC magnetic field using a bias current and extracts the output from the paper sheet, and as shown in Figure 3B, the magnetic flux Bm when a DC magnetic field H1 due to the bias current is applied. is now being detected. To detect the residual magnetic flux density Br of paper sheets magnetized in this way, a residual magnetism detection type magnetic head may be used. For example, as shown in Fig. 3C, a magnet is placed just in front of the magnetic head. The paper sheet is once magnetized (H2), and then the paper sheet is moved to the head position and the residual magnetic flux density Br is detected. In the case of a differential magnetic head, the residual magnetic flux at the zero cross of the modulated sine wave 3 may be detected, and in this case, the detection can be performed without moving the paper sheet.

The detection output Br from the magnetic head 52 of the moved paper sheet 53 is temporarily stored in a divider 54, and the ratio Bm/Br is calculated when the detection output Br from the magnetic head 52 of the moved paper sheet 53 is input. In this way, when the ratio Bm/Br is input to the comparison/discrimination circuit 55, the comparison/discrimination circuit 55 uses the set value SL1 input for distinguishing the characteristics of FIG. 1A and B, and the set value SL1 of FIG. A comparison is made with a set value SL2 input to distinguish the characteristics, and identification signals S1 to S3 are output. That is, 1) When Bm/Br<SL1, the signal S1 is output.2) When SL1≦Bm/Br<SL2, the signal S2 is output.3) When SL2≦Bm/Br, the signal S3 is output. By performing such comparison and discrimination, the above-mentioned three characteristics (FIG. 1A to C) can be identified from the magnitude of the ratio Bm/Br.

A rectifier 41 performs full-wave rectification, and the signal AF is input to an integrator 43 via a bandpass filter.
Here, the waveforms of various parts obtained by the movement of the bill are as shown in FIG. 7A, for example. The output waveform AF of the bandpass filter 42 represents the maximum magnetic flux density Bm of the magnetic ink at each point on the banknote 10, and the value of the maximum magnetic flux density Bm changes because the amount of magnetic ink changes at each point on the banknote 10. Because there is.
The rear end of the banknote 10 is connected to a differential magnetic head 20.
(determined by the counted value of the clock pulse CP after the trailing edge of the banknote 10 passes the photo sensor 22), the AD converter 44 converts the value AI of the integrator 43 in accordance with the timing signal T2 from the CPU 30. Convert it to a digital quantity and store the value in RAM3
Store in 3. Note that the time To(t1~
t2) indicates the range of banknotes 10.

On the other hand, almost the same control processing is performed on the system of the residual magnetism detection type magnetic head 21, and the output of the magnetic head 21 is amplified by the amplifier 45 (signal DS), then full-wave rectified by the rectifier 46, and passed through the low-pass filter 47. (signal DF) through integrator 4
8. The timing to start the integration is when the patterned portion of the tip of the bill reaches the position of the magnetic head 21 (determined by the count value of the clock pulse CP after the tip of the bill 10 reaches the photo sensor 22).
It is controlled by a timing signal T3 from the CPU 30. Note that a magnet 23 for magnetizing the magnetic ink on the banknote 10 is placed immediately before the magnetic head 21.
are provided, and each waveform obtained by the movement of the banknote 10 is as shown in FIG. 7B, for example. The output waveform DF of the low-pass filter 47 represents the residual magnetic flux density Br of the magnetic ink at each point on the banknote 10, and the value of this magnetic velocity density Br changes as well as the case of the magnetic velocity density Bm described above. This is because the amount changes at each point on the banknote 10.
Then, when the rear end of the banknote 10 has completely passed through the magnetic head 21, a timing signal from the CPU 30 is sent.
The value of the integrator 48 at the AD converter 44 according to T4
Convert DI to digital quantity and store the value in RAM33

After that, the CPU 30 stores the 2
By reading out the two integral values AI and DI and performing a division operation, the value of AI/DI, that is, Bm/Br, is determined.
This value is temporarily stored in the RAM 33. and,
The CPU 30 compares this value with a set value previously stored in the ROM 32 and determines the type of magnetic ink. Note that when the values of the integrators 43 and 48 are AD converted and read, the CPU 30 receives the timing signal.
Integrators 43 and 48 are reset by T1 and T3. Note that the CPU 30 is in charge of the division means and the comparison and determination means.

In this way, by using the differential magnetic head 20 and the residual magnetism detection type magnetic head 21, the maximum magnetic flux density Bm and the residual magnetic flux density can be adjusted over the entire length of the banknote 10.
The type of magnetic ink is determined by determining the integral values AI and DI of Br, and dividing the integral values to determine the magnetic velocity density ratio Bm/Br. That is, when the banknote 10 is moved, the detected value of the maximum magnetic flux density Bm and the detected value of the residual magnetic flux density Br change from time to time depending on the amount of magnetic ink, but if the concentration of the magnetic ink is not uniform, As for the same detection position, the ratio Bm/Br is almost constant (Bm/Br is determined not by the quantity but by the quality of the magnetic ink). Therefore, there is no problem even if the same portion is scanned over the entire length of the banknote 10, and the integrated value is calculated and divided. In addition, in the case of a paper sheet that has a part where the concentration of magnetic ink is uniform, since no signal is output from the residual magnetism detection type magnetic head 21 at that position, the ratio Bm/Br must be calculated at that position. Although it is not possible to do this, there is no problem because we are trying to find the integral value.
