METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A COIN DETECTOR

摘要

An inductive coin detector for detecting the presence of coins (2) in a coin channel (1) by means of a high-frequency alternating magnetic field exhibits a flat coil (3) arranged outside the coin channel (1). A high-frequency alternating magnetic field generated by the coil (3) penetrates perpendicularly to the running direction of the coin (13) through the coin channel (1). The coil (3) is formed from at least one flat spiral conductor arrangement and is a part of the LC oscillator. Together with a measuring circuit, the oscillator circuit forms a detector circuit (4) for detecting a change in the oscillator frequency caused by the presence of the coin (2). The coil (3) and the detector circuit (4) are arranged in the immediate vicinity on a common carrier and can be enclosed in a flat housing. The coin detector can be connected via a three-wire line which comprises a feed line (7) and a signal line (9).
