Abstract

An image acquiring device for a sheet-type medium includes an upper passage plate and a lower passage plate, a gap being reserved between the upper passage plate and the lower passage plate to form a passage; at least two driving wheels mounted on the lower passage plate, and configured to drive the sheet-type medium entered into the passage to advance along the direction of the passage; at least two floating pinch rollers mounted on the upper passage plate, and each being mounted cooperatively with a respective driving wheel and being tangent to the driving wheel at a tangential point, and being configured to apply a pressure to the sheet-type medium to allow the sheet-type medium to cling to the driving wheel; and an image collecting device, mounted between two sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers, and configured to collect an image of the sheet-type medium.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An image acquiring device for a sheet-type medium, comprising:
an upper passage plate, mounted cooperatively with a lower passage plate, with a gap being reserved between the upper passage plate and the lower passage plate to form a passage;
the lower passage plate, mounted cooperatively with the upper passage plate, with the gap being reserved between the lower passage plate and the upper passage plate to form the passage;
a driving wheel, with at least two driving wheels mounted on the lower passage plate, and the driving wheels being configured to drive the sheet-type medium entered into the passage to advance along the direction of the passage;
a floating pinch roller, with at least two floating pinch rollers mounted on the upper passage plate, and each of the floating pinch rollers being mounted cooperatively with a respective driving wheel and being tangent to the driving wheel at a tangential point, and being configured to apply a pressure to the sheet-type medium to allow the sheet-type medium to cling to the driving wheel, and
an image collecting device, mounted between two sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers, and configured to collect an image of the sheet-type medium in a process of the sheet-type medium passing through the passage;
wherein all tangential points are located in the passage, and are located in a plane in parallel with an advance direction of the passage.

2. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transparent strip, mounted between two sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers to cooperate with the image collecting device, and configured to allow the image collecting device to collect the image of the sheet-type medium by transmission collecting.

3. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 2 , wherein,
a surface of a transmission position of the image collecting device is in a plane where the tangential points are located, and an upper surface of the transparent strip is in the same plane as a surface of the upper passage plate or a surface of the lower passage plate;
or,
the upper surface of the transparent strip is in the plane where the tangential points are located, and the surface of the transmission position of the image collecting device is in the same plane as the surface of the upper passage plate or the surface of the lower passage plate.

4. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 3 , wherein,
at least three sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers are provided and comprise a set A 1 , a set A 2 , and a set A 3 ;
at least two sets of the image collecting devices and the transparent strips are provided and comprise a set B 1 , and a set B 2 ; and
the set A 1 , the set B 1 , the set A 2 , the set B 2 , and the set A 3 are arranged in the listed sequence in the advance direction of the passage.

5. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 3 , wherein,
a vertical distance between the surface of the transmission position of the image collecting device and the plane where the tangential points are located is in a preset distance interval;
the distance interval is obtained according to a distance-gray scale value curve and a change interval of a gray scale value;
the distance-gray scale value curve records a corresponding relationship between a gray scale value of a collected image and a distance from the surface of the transmission position of the image collecting device to a surface of the sheet-type medium; and
the change interval of the gray scale value is a change range of the gray scale value of the image within which the analysis processing is not affected.

6. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a synchronous belt, mounted on the driving wheels and configured to drive the driving wheels to rotate at the same rotational speed.

7. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a magnetic sensor, mounted on the lower passage plate, having a sensing surface located in a plane where the tangential points are located, and configured to sense a change of position of the sheet-type medium and generate a corresponding electrical signal.

8. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 7 , wherein the sensing surface is tangent to lower ends of a plurality of floating pinch rollers.

9. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a thickness sensing device, mounted on the upper passage plate and the lower passage plate, and located at a tail end of the passage in the advance direction of the passage, and configured to measure a thickness of the sheet-type medium.

10. The image acquiring device for the sheet-type medium according to claim 9 , wherein,
a plurality of sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers are provided in the thickness sensing device; and
the sheet-type medium is configured to pass through the thickness sensing device at a position between through the plurality of sets of the driving wheels and the floating pinch rollers.
